Seven days later, the demons withdrew from outside Mosong Pass and pointed their attack at the army of Ding Xi, the Sunset City in the south of the steel guard wall. Lin Muyu's injuries needed to rest, so Qin Yin ordered an army to be left to guard the Qinling Mountains, the Longtian Camp, and the imperial guards returned to Lanyan City. At this point, the southern border of the Qin Empire was finally pacified, and more than a dozen pass-through cities in the Qinling Mountains fell into the hands of the imperial army to compete with the Yihe Kingdom and the demons.

On December 21, 7734, the army returned to Lanyan City.

...

The fierce battle finally ended. As a king, Qin Yin naturally had to reward her with merits. The next day there was a court meeting, with ministers gathering.

Although Lin Muyu was wrapped in gauze, she still carefully put on her armor and walked into the court with injuries. He knew very well that he had to support Qin Yin at this time, otherwise she would still be constrained by Tang Lan and Su Muyun in the court.

Feng Jixing stood with Lin Muyu and asked with concern: "How is the injury?"

"It's much better, don't worry." Lin Muyu grinned.

"That's good."

Feng Jixing said worriedly: "Ayu, you must heal your injuries soon. The demons are about to move again recently. The scouts we placed in Dongshuang City have heard news that Qianfeng trained the legion of armored demons all day long. When they encountered the Qianfeng Legion again, they were probably not as stupid as they were last time."

"Well, I know." The demon marshal Qian Feng appeared in Lin Muyu's mind. Such a wise and brave person is indeed a big trouble for the empire. He only hates that he is not strong enough, otherwise he would have sneaked into Dongshuang City and killed Qian Feng with one sword, and the empire would have been much safer.

At this time, a minister shouted: "The court meeting began."

Everyone knelt on one knee to welcome the empress. With the sound of footsteps, Qin Yin walked up to the throne with several female officials. After sitting down generously, she raised her hand and said, "Sir, please calm down."

Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing stood up together and looked up. They saw that Qin Yin was wearing a milky white robe today, which looked even more elegant and luxurious. Her beautiful face exuded a mature charm, but she still maintained a bit of girlish shyness. However, Qin Yin was no longer timid at this moment.

A pair of wonderful eyes looked at the ministers. Qin Yin's voice was very sweet, and every word was clearly stated: "Since Commander Yu led the Longtan Camp to fight south, he has made many military achievements, regained the city blocks of Mosong Pass, Jiayuan Pass and other cities from the demons, and even entered the Lingnan Empire lost territory, and seized the cities in Xunbai Province such as Huoyue City and Xingjue City, which greatly boosted the military power of our empire. However, Commander Yu's greatest merit was not only this, but he sneaked into the Sunset City and seized the head of Qin Lei, the former Imperial Guard commander who died among the thousands of troops in Sunset City, allowing the warriors to be buried back to their hometown. Yixue the former shame of the Empire. I decided to enthrone Commander Yu as a first-rank general and ranked one of the eleven generals of the Empire."

His Highness and ministers were moved and looked at each other, but no one seemed to be able to say a reason to object.

A group of generals of the Tang family looked solemn and did not say anything. This time, the empress was furious for Lin Muyu's affairs and killed four generals of the Tang family, including Tang Lan's close relatives like Tang Zuo. They dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

Among the people, Tang Lu was a little angry and said, "Your Highness, Commander Yu has made great contributions, but... he is still young after all. He is one of the generals of the empire at such a young age. I am afraid he has insufficient qualifications."

“Qualification.”

Qin Yin smiled and said with a clear understanding: "In Lingyun Pavilion, Xiang Wentian was the commander at the age of 21, Luo Tonghai was the general at the age of 24, Feng Yicheng was the general at the age of 27, and Commander Yu is now twenty-six years old. What's the point of qualifications? Come and read the feather book from the rebels of Yiheguo in Lingnan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

A female official in blue nodded respectfully, took out a letter paper and opened it, and read to the ministers: "Lin Muyu had a melee when he seized the head of Commander Qin Lei in Marshal Lu Zhao's mansion. There were more than 100 people who died under his sword. Among them, Lu Zhao, one of the seven commanders of Yihe, Lingnan, General Zhao Jiu, General Li Sha, General Wang Biao, commander of the Qing Cavalry, Dong Yan, deputy commander of the Jingguo Army, etc. In addition, Commander Yu also killed Yan Li, the first heavenly powerhouse in the holy realm under Luo Lan, and severely damaged Lu Zhan in the Holy Realm."

After saying that, she turned around and bowed gently at Qin Yin and retreated.

Qin Yin stood up with a smile on her beautiful face and said, "Let me ask, looking at the Great Qin Empire, which loyal and brave general can do this."

Su Muyun took a deep breath and clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Commander Yu is loyal to the Empire, and he is able to understand the world. He is capable of what people cannot, and endure what others cannot, and has outstanding achievements. It is a world of time. No one in the empire has made such a contribution in hundreds of years. The old minister believes that... Commander Yu's merits deserve the title of general. Moreover, the 20,000 warriors in the Dragon Battalion are brave and good at fighting. They are the best among the Imperial Legion. The commander naturally needs a suitable title, and the name of the general is well deserved."

Qin Yin was very surprised. He didn't expect that Su Muyun would rely so much on Lin Muyu today. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your agreement, then... do you have any objections to promote Commander Lin Muyu to general?"

Tang Lan clasped his fists and said, "The old minister has no objection."

Everyone in the Tang family clasped their fists, and soon everyone began to congratulate Lin Muyu. After all, such a young general has been a handful of people since ancient times. Moreover, Lin Muyu is also a deacon in the Empire Temple, and she is simply favored by Qin Yin.

Immediately, Lin Muyu stepped forward and knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Long's kindness."

Qin Yin smiled and nodded: "Brother Ayu, get up quickly."

Lin Muyu nodded, and soon, two female emperors walked forward, one holding the General's seal and the other holding the General's sword in his hand. These are symbols of military rank and military power. After accepting them one by one, Lin Muyu thanked him again.

...

"The second thing is about the reorganization of the Imperial Guards, the reconstruction of the white-robed Imperial Guards." Qin Yin looked at the ministers with beautiful eyes like water and said: "According to the rules of the empire for more than 7,000 years, the important task of protecting the Emperor has always been the Imperial Guards, but now it is the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards' main task is to protect the imperial capital rather than protect the Emperor, so I think it is urgent to rebuild the Imperial Guards."

Your highness and ministers were stunned again.

Su Muyun frowned and said, "Your Highness, this... has always been the responsibility of the Su family cavalry led by your aunt Yu. Can you trust Aunt Yu?"

Qin Yin smiled sweetly: "What did grandpa say? Aunt Yu is Xiaoyin's relative, how could I trust her? It's just that the rules left by the emperors of the empire are like this. The emperor must personally enthrone the white-robed imperial guards and establish the imperial guards to guard the Zetian Palace. Just as grandpa and Duke Lan have always said, the rules of the ancestors should not be abolished. Duke Lan, what do you think?"

A glimmer flashed through Tang Lan's eyes, and he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, it is no small matter to rebuild the Imperial Guard. It also takes a step by step. Start with the White-robed Imperial Guard. The old minister suggested that Your Highness enthrone the White-robed Imperial Guard first, and then form a team of 100-man Imperial Guards, and finally rebuild the Imperial Guard. After all, the empire's financial and material resources are limited, and it can no longer be as luxurious as it was four years ago."

Qin Yin pondered and said with a smile: "What Mr. Lan said is very true, then... let's start with the enthronement of the White Robe Imperial Bride."

Su Muyun said respectfully: "Your Highness, the rules of ancestors, there have always been only six white-robed imperial guards. Now, Qu Chu, Qin Lei and Du Hai have all died for the country, and only Feng Jixing, Qu Chu and Yao Yuan are left. Therefore, there are only three more places to add. I wonder if your highness already has a candidate in his mind."

"Yes." Qin Yinliwo smiled and said, "Grandpa, I plan to sign Commander Yu as one of the white-robed imperial guards."

"ah."

Su Muyun was slightly stunned. In fact, he could have expected it. He smiled helplessly and said, "It's true... Ayu is the righteous brother of His Highness, and he has repeatedly protected you with death. Ayu becomes a white-robed imperial guard. It is something that everyone hopes to be the one who wants."

Qin Yin smiled and said, "Thank you for your permission."

Tang Lan said: "The old minister also believes that it is natural for Yu to be promoted to the White-robed Imperial Grove, but there are two quotas. I don't know if someone can choose His Highness. The White-robed Imperial Grove is a symbol of loyalty and strength, symbolizing the strongest force and most loyal belief around the Emperor. I hope His Highness must think twice."

"Well, I understand." Qin Yin nodded: "I don't know if Mr. Lan has anyone recommended it."

Tang Lan smiled: "Xiang Yu, a descendant of the imperial army god Xiang Wentian, is well versed in the martial arts of the chaotic Nine-Strike, and can charge for His Highness and put life and death aside."

Suddenly, a general surnamed Su behind Su Muyun couldn't help laughing: "Xiang Yu, he ordered to poison the 1800 people of Wugu City. How could such a murderous maniac be worthy of becoming a white-robed imperial guard?"

Xiang Yu's face turned pale and said lightly: "I know that my talent is absent and moral character are very simple, so I would like to recommend another talent to Mr. Lan."

Tang Lan sighed and looked at the group of Tang Lu, Tang Tian, ​​Tang Wei and others behind him. He couldn't help but sigh again. Among the descendants of the Tang family, Tang Xiaoxi was the most capable, but he was not on his side. Another brave general was Tang Zhen, but Tang Zhen was too upright, so he could not use it for himself. Looking around, he was all mediocre.

At this time, Su Muyun clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the old minister recommends Su Yu. She is your aunt. Needless to say, loyalty is, and he also holds the military power of the 200,000 troops in Muyu City."

Qin Yin looked at Su Yu with beautiful eyes and asked with a smile: "Aunt Yu, are you willing."

Su Yu said in surprise: "I... can I?"

"Of course it's OK."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Yu stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace, Su Yu will be loyal to the Great Qin Empire forever, otherwise she will die under the sword."

"Aunt Yu, please come up, don't be so polite."
