Chapter 629 Where's the Laughter
He wanted to personally commend this legendary figure whom he had only heard of but never met.
All civil and military officials had more confidence in the court and no longer worried about pretending to be sick and not attending court.
The news spread quickly, and in less than half a day, it had spread throughout the entire Kyoto city.
The whole city was celebrating, as if Lin Feng's arrival was a shot in the arm for all the officials and people.
When some people are happy, some people are unhappy.
Grand Tutor Wan was furious in his command center outside the city.
"What the hell is this Ju Chaoyue thinking? He handed over the military power to Lin Feng without my permission. This is treason, this is deceiving the emperor, this is ignoring military regulations..."
Jiao Sanqiang hurried forward and patted the old master's back.
"Grandmaster, please calm down and don't let yourself get hurt."
"Ahem... tell Ju Chaoyue to come over and see me, now, right now!"
Some soldiers turned around and ran out.
At this time, General Ju Chaoyue had already hidden in Kancheng and avoided seeing anyone.
He had completely handed over the 11th Battalion of the Imperial Guard to Lin Feng and no longer cared about anything.
Originally, Lin Feng wanted him to come out and take charge.
But in this extraordinary period, Ju Chaoyue felt it was better to avoid showing up.
Lin Feng has already dispatched the entire 11th Battalion of the Imperial Guard, and several senior generals of the Zhenxi Army are leading the training.
But he was a little worried. At that time, Ju Chaoyue sent Yi Min to Shanglin City and spoke to him with certainty.
As soon as Lin Feng arrived in Kyoto, the 11th and 9th Battalions of the Imperial Guards would immediately be under his command and dispatched.
However, Wei Ming's Ninth Battalion obviously didn't pay much attention to him at the moment.
Even Prince Rui did not express it explicitly, he just asked Wei Ming to cooperate.
Lin Feng was helpless. With only Ju Chaoyue's 11th Battalion of 20,000 troops, they were not enough to compete with the Black Turban Army.
Even after only a brief training, if they launched a counterattack, they would be likely to be killed by the Black Turban Army.
Lin Feng frowned and pondered a solution. He had trusted the sincerity of these court officials too much.
Unexpectedly, the officialdom is like a battlefield. As time goes by, the crisis is temporarily resolved.
No one will admit what they said unless it is written in black and white.
Of course, even if it was an imperial edict written in black and white, appointing Lin Feng as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, it would be useless. The entire Imperial Guard would be useless if it were not for Ju Chaoyue.
No one would hang Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at the map carefully. Kuncheng was too far away from Jinjiang, and the artillery on the warships could not reach it.
Moreover, if these 20,000 men rushed forward to fight with the Black Turban Army, the rebels in Zhencheng would immediately come to help, but the other royal guards in the Acropolis would definitely not move.
Even if Prince Rui stayed in Kyoto, he would not let his 20,000 personal guards leave the city.
Lin Feng looked at the map for a long time and finally slammed the table.
"Fuck, I want to do something serious, why is it so difficult?"
Pei Qiyin covered her mouth and laughed, her body shaking with laughter.
Lin Feng looked at her strangely, and it took her a while to stop laughing.
"What's the funny thing?"
Pei Qiyin shook his head and said nothing, but just suppressed his laughter, lowered his head, and did not look at Lin Feng.
"Hey, where's that kid Zhao Shuo? Let him go ask his father if he has any truth left in him."
Cheng Liang bowed and said, "General, Lord Zhao has assigned you to lead an army, and he is currently training them intensively."
Lin Feng slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, I'm so angry that I'm losing my mind."
Pei Qiyin brought the tea over and gently placed it in front of Lin Feng.
"Have some tea and calm down. It's not worth it."
Lin Feng took the teacup and continued speaking angrily.
"They're all here to defend the king and rescue the Zhao family. They're all just afraid that I'll take their military power away. If they have the ability, they can lead the troops themselves to fight. They're all like cowards, without any ability at all, but they cling to power tightly."
Pei Qiyin advised: "They are used to being officials. Once they are asked to give up their power, it will be more painful than killing them."
Lin Feng took a sip of tea and frowned for a moment.
"No, I have to go see Prince Rui and ask for an explanation. Why did you let me come to Kyoto without giving me military power? What's the point of fighting?"
Pei Qiyin immediately advised solemnly.
"Don't take any risks. Not everyone in Kyoto thinks you're a savior."
Cheng Liang also said cautiously: "General, entering the city is indeed very risky."
While Lin Feng was hesitating, a soldier came in to report.
"Report, General, the imperial edict has arrived."
"Hey, the emperor is still thinking about me. Old Zhu has been gone for a long time, and the imperial edict has just arrived."
Lin Feng is now full of resentment.
The next moment, a eunuch walked in from outside the door.
"Who is Lin Feng? Where is Lin Feng? Lin Feng, come here immediately to receive the order."
The young eunuch shouted loudly with an arrogant look on his face.
Lin Feng supported his forehead with his left hand and waved his right hand at Cheng Liang.
Cheng Liang immediately took two steps forward and answered loudly.
"I'm Lin Feng. Where is the imperial edict?"
The young eunuch glared at him and said, "How dare you! Why don't you kneel down and accept the order? Are you trying to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
Cheng Liang had no choice but to kneel on one leg and lower his head.
"Your Majesty, Lin Feng receives the order."
The young eunuch then unfolded the imperial edict in his hand with some satisfaction and read it aloud.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Lin Feng, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards, may enter the palace to meet His Majesty. This is my decree."
After reading it, he folded the imperial edict and sent it forward.
Cheng Liang raised his hands and took the imperial edict.
"Thank you Lord for your grace."
The young eunuch looked around, stared at Lin Feng who was sitting behind the desk in confusion, then turned to look at Cheng Liang who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Hey, no reward money?"
Cheng Liang complained quickly: "I've been exhausted from the journey and have spent all my money. I was just about to go to the palace and ask the emperor for some money for food."
The young eunuch flicked his sleeves and said, "Tsk, bad luck."
After saying that, he turned around and left, taking a few followers waiting at the door, out of the courtyard, mounted his horse and left.
Pei Qiyin started laughing again and pointed at Cheng Liang.
"You...you acted too...too much like her, hahaha..."
Lin Feng turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong with you today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Pei Qiyin suppressed his laughter, shook his head, and stopped talking.
Cheng Liang didn't think he was pretending, he just looked at the eunuch who disappeared outside the door.
"Is this kid stupid?"
Lin Feng sneered: "He is not stupid at all. It's just a formality. No one should make things difficult for anyone else."
"General, do you want to go to the palace to see the emperor?"
"Prince Rui also wants me to meet him, and the Emperor also wants to meet with me, but they won't bring up the issue of military power. I guess even if we meet, the issue of military power won't be resolved, unless..."
Before he could finish, more soldiers ran in.
"Report, General, the commander of the Imperial Guard, Wan Quan, has sent someone to look for the General of Chariots and Cavalry, Ju Chaoyue."
"Let him go away, there is no such person here."
Lin Feng shouted angrily.
The soldier who reported the news was stunned and immediately stood up and ran out.
The officer sent by Grand Tutor Wan to deliver the message was standing in front of his horse waiting for news.
The soldier who reported the news ran out and looked at him with a worried look on his face.
"Oh, brother, what does it say?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "My general said... let you..."
"What's going on?"
"Go away, there is no one you are looking for."
