Chapter 536 I Really Don’t Care
Lin Cangshi also jumped out: "Prince Rui, the rules cannot be broken. We cannot ignore the court rules just because the matter is urgent."
Prince Rui no longer wanted to argue with them and turned to look at Emperor Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen smacked his lips when he saw that they had a disagreement.
"I need to ask the Grand Tutor for his opinion on this matter. After all, the position of Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard is too high and it is not a trivial matter."
Prince Rui raised his hand and pointed outside the palace: "Zhao Zheng's men are already negotiating with Lin Feng. My royal brother, if you hesitate any longer, things will get out of control."
The imperial envoy Cai Lantian snorted coldly.
"If Lin Feng remains indecisive, he will be even less qualified to hold an important position."
Lin Cangshi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, perhaps it's the Zhenxi Army that's formidable, and it's not Lin Feng's fault. You can order another capable general to replace Lin Feng and lead the Zhenxi Army to resist the enemy."
When Prince Rui heard him say this, he was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes. He sighed in his heart, how did this idiot get to the top?
Zhao Zhen didn't want to listen to their argument anymore and waved his hand.
"Send someone to inform the Grand Tutor immediately. He can make the final decision on this matter."
Prince Rui stood beside the dragon desk in disappointment, unable to recover for a while.
Although he did not believe that Lin Feng would surrender to King Fu for this reason, the court's behavior might chill Lin Feng's heart.
Grand Tutor Wan naturally would not agree to let Lin Feng serve as his deputy.
Although he had stated that the Zhenxi Army could be promoted or rewarded, he did not expect the promotion to be so rapid.
Several senior generals before him had followed him for many years. Not only were they loyal to him, but they also obeyed his orders.
How could he allow an outsider to come to his territory and take up an important position?
Besides, this Lin Feng is not only too young, but also has a rebellious temperament.
Grand Tutor Wan is not stupid. Wouldn't it be troublesome for himself to appoint a disobedient deputy?
He didn't even bother to discuss it with his subordinates and just refused outright to avoid disappointing them.
Lin Feng had already received a letter from King Rui, explaining the situation to him and sincerely requesting Lin Feng to put the country first and not act on impulse or be blinded by money and high officials.
Prince Rui also introduced Prince Fu Zhao Zheng's character to Lin Feng, that he was a ruthless and ungrateful person.
Don't believe any of this person's promises.
The current imperial court is still the orthodox one. As long as we live up to the emperor's trust, gold will always shine.
At the end of the letter, King Rui solemnly promised Lin Feng that as long as Lin Feng could repel the rebels, he would definitely recommend him to become the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards.
Lin Feng placed another official letter on the desk.
It was a commendation letter from Grand Tutor Wan, full of praise, but its main theme was to have Lin Feng lead the Zhenxi Army to the Kyoto Acropolis as soon as possible to wait for orders.
Lin Feng pounded the table: "Look, at least your father made a promise, but this Master Wan was too lazy to even draw a cake."
Zhao Shuo stood aside, looking at Lin Feng's face worriedly.
The emperor is incompetent and has no opinion of his own. Even when the situation is so critical, he is still hesitant.
He deserves to be kicked off the throne.
In his heart, he was also resentfully thinking about the emperor's unreliable behavior.
After a while, Lin Feng sighed and placed his palm on the letter.
"Zhao Shuo, you said the Dazong court is so corrupt and incompetent, what's the point of keeping it?"
"Hey, big brother, Grand Tutor Wan and these ministers are really bastards. They don't care about the emperor at all. They really can't be kept."
"Don't try to play tricks on me. Am I talking about them?"
Zhao Shuo was helpless and sighed, "My emperor has a soft temper and is hesitant when encountering things, but he is not a bad person."
"Good people can't be emperors. It's because of emperors like this that such courtiers are created. Dazong..."
Lin Feng shook his head and sighed: "It's really time to change people."
Zhao Shuo immediately panicked and spoke anxiously.
"Brother, if we destroy the rebels, the emperor will be able to appoint you to any official position he wants. So why not replace him... hehe."
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shuo with a half-smile.
“Alas, you are so incompetent. Your Zhao family’s world cannot sit still.”
"Brother, we have you. The Zhao family is counting on you for support."
Lin Feng stared at Zhao Shuo's anxious face.
"Boy, don't you really consider asking your father to give me a word?"
Zhao Shuo was stunned for a moment, with a pleading look on his face.
"Brother, please stop joking with me and my father. I really can't stand being scared."
Lin Feng didn't say anything. After a while, he let out a long sigh.
"Damn, if I had buried you back then, I wouldn't have had all these troubles."
Zhao Shuo felt uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Feng, but when he heard him say that, he quickly put on a smile.
"Big brother is right. It is me who has caused you trouble."
Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's just drag it out. Cheng Liang, go tell Wei Bao to pass a message to King Fu. As long as they don't come to provoke me, I won't deal with them."
Cheng Liang agreed and turned around to go out and pass on the message.
Zhao Shuo was dumbfounded. He begged for a long time but it was of no use.
Lin Feng really doesn't want to care about the court's affairs.
Once the Zhenxi Army lets go, Prince Fu's rebels will be able to attack Kyoto City with all their might, and the Imperial Guards will probably not be able to hold out for long.
"Brother, what are you thinking?"
"You Zhao brothers are fighting for the throne, so how can others interfere? Don't talk to me about the interests of the country and family. I only care about high positions, generous salaries, wealth and glory. Zhao Zhen can't even achieve these, and yet he still expects others to fight for him?"
Lin Feng sneered: "Isn't this a joke?"
Zhao Shuo felt somewhat desperate and looked at Lin Feng crying.
"Brother, if you don't do anything, this great imperial court will be doomed."
Lin Feng smiled at him: "It's just one of your uncles. It's just replaced by another uncle. What's the difference?"
"But...but..."
"Don't worry, I, Lin Feng, am here to ensure that you and your son are safe."
Zhao Shuo stood beside the desk in a daze, as if his soul had left his body, and he didn't know what to say.
He was really concerned about the Zhao family's country and hated Zhao Zheng, the illegitimate son, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
Zhao Shuo couldn't understand why his uncle Zhao Zhen didn't treat Lin Feng well?
According to his own ideas, it would not be excessive even if the entire army of the sect was under the command of Lin Feng.
But the current court and this group of ministers are wary of the Zhenxi Army that came to rescue them.
Don’t they know that without the Zhenxi Army, the imperial court will change hands within a few months?
These ministers who gather around the emperor will all have a miserable end.
Lin Feng no longer paid attention to Zhao Shuo who was standing there in a daze, and leaned over the desk to write a letter.
He was writing the order. After a while, he looked up and said to Cheng Liang.
"Let Wei Bao and Hu Jincai come to see me."
Generals Wei Bao and Hu Jincai hurried to the government office. Before they could catch their breath, they heard Lin Feng say this.
"Wei Bao sent people back to Zhenxi and ordered Wen Cheng and Zhang Changyou to mobilize 20,000 Zhenxi troops, starting from Dingyuan Prefecture, to implement our institutional reforms."
"Tell Chief Bai to gather these means of production and come to Tianzhi Mansion as soon as possible."
He turned to Hu Jincai and said, "You will take 5,000 men and horses, cross the river from Shanglin Prefecture, and capture Sanjiang Prefecture."
