Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 206: Thousand Miles Home

"He signed a contract with someone and now he is using it to ask for money. He only gave them one day to raise the money, but the money has been overdue for more than a year."

"Did he take anything?"

Tian En was reporting to Emperor Hong Bao in the Imperial Garden about what Xia Lin had been doing these days. Emperor Hong Bao was playing Go with him while listening to these new things, as if he was right there at the scene.

"He took a box of Go pieces and returned the property intact to the merchant's son, but he didn't put a penny into his own pocket."

Emperor Hongbao raised his head and glanced at Tian En: "That's all you can do, and you want a box of Go pieces?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Oh, there is also an exquisitely carved ivory folding fan, which is said to be given to Princess Changchun."

After listening to this, Emperor Hongbao smiled and shook his head: "I gave him overwhelming power, and he did these things?"

"The key is that everything he did was in accordance with etiquette and law. Even Minister An of the Ministry of Justice could not find fault with him."

"Hahahahaha..."

Hong Baodi suddenly burst into laughter: "This kid is really interesting. Tian En, what do you think he likes? He doesn't love power or money, so what is he after?"

"Maybe it's because of lust for beauty, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongbao stood up and patted Tian En on the head: "Tian En, you have been in the palace since you were young, so you don't understand the mysteries. At his age, even a female mule looked pretty. At the moment, he has been self-denying and dutiful. I was..."

He smacked his lips as he spoke: "It will get better naturally when you get older."

"Then your majesty, if a person has nothing to ask for, wouldn't he be unpredictable?"

"There are only two kinds of people in the world who seem to have nothing to ask for: one who asks for something very big, and one who asks for something but cannot get it. Which one do you think he is?"

"Is... what you are asking for?"

"What are you asking for? A place in history or my position?"

Emperor Hongbao squinted his eyes and began to think. At this moment, Tian En had already lowered his head and dared not answer. But after a while, Emperor Hongbao hummed: "I think about it carefully. He must be seeking a name in history. If he wants to rule the world, he will not be incorruptible."

"Your Majesty, he is not poor."

"It's only tens of thousands of taels of silver. Go and look at the county magistrates down there. Even the poorest ones have enough money. The county town in his hands was still a township a few years ago, right?"

"Exactly."

"He single-handedly transformed a poor and remote area into a blessed land, and he has tens of thousands of taels in his pocket. If this isn't a clean government, what is he?" Emperor Hongbao waved his hand. "He hoarded grain to suppress the price of grain during disasters, right? He single-handedly suppressed the price of grain throughout the world. What do you think he wants? Is it for fame? The fame belongs to Jing'er. Is it for money? If it was for money, he would just follow suit and drive up the price."

"I don't know, old slave."

Emperor Hongbao laughed: "Alas, this guy is really hard to figure out. He was able to force Gao Shilian to take the initiative to ask him to reinstate his official position. Tian En, you still have to make a hard trip and personally convey the imperial decree to grant him marriage."

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing... I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"Oh, just say it straight."

Tian En hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty seemed to have asked him to give the gold medal given to him to Princess Changchun. A few days ago, I accidentally saw Princess Changchun playing with the gold medal."

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Hongbao's brows twitched: "Give it to Qian'er?"

"Yes……"

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Hongbao nodded gently: "What a smart child."

He turned around and saw Tian En's puzzled expression, but he smiled with relief: "I was also not thoughtful enough at the time. With his current qualifications and strength, he is not worthy of this gold medal. If it were someone else, they would definitely use this gold medal to show off, which is understandable. However, greed is hard to satisfy, and lack of self-control is tantamount to seeking death, Tian En."

"Then your majesty, it seems that this is a wise choice for him."

"Well, very smart." Emperor Hongbao twisted his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Since he can't eat the gold medal, and I am not considering it, then I will give him another reward. You go and inform the Zongzheng Temple to promote Princess Changchun to Princess Changle and grant them a marriage. By the way, let the Minister of Rites come over, and I will ask him to cancel his position as the son-in-law."

Princess Changle! ?
Tian En was stunned for a moment, this title was usually only given to the eldest princess who was born of a legitimate wife, and her status was so noble that it was difficult for ordinary princesses to reach.

"I will do it now."

"Wait a moment." Emperor Hongbao shouted, "Give him the Silver Talisman Fish, the Deputy General Yingyang, and mobilize the troops to guard three thousand heavy armors."

After Tian En left, Emperor Hongbao looked at the clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back and sighed softly: "I hope you can save Da Wei three times."

Three thousand heavy armors, this one item directly raised Xia Lin's status to a new level. There is only one word difference between a soldier wearing armor and a soldier wearing heavy armor, but there is a world of difference between them.

In serious history, Li Shimin's greatest achievement was defeating Dou Jiande's army of 100,000 with only 3,500 people, and these 3,500 people were his black armored soldiers.

That is to say, now Emperor Hongbao has given Xia Lin a heavy armor configuration that is almost equivalent to that of Li Shimin when he was fighting for the Central Plains. This is also a gamble. If the gamble is good, at least the north and the south will be equal in the future. If the gamble is not good, it will raise another big warlord.

But now Emperor Hongbao is helpless. The rebellions of Wang Shichong and King of Lingnan have made him realize that the Wei Dynasty is now in turmoil. It is easier as long as he is alive. Once he is gone, disputes in the world will inevitably begin. After all, he still hopes that someone can save the crumbling empire.

He didn't know whether his son was capable or not, but he had countless opportunities to make the wrong move, but the new emperor only had one chance. If he made a mistake just once, the entire Wei Dynasty would inevitably fall apart.

At this moment, Xia Lin had just received an imperial edict reinstating him, saying that he had to return within a month, so he didn't have much time left.

For the next few days, he would have to wait for Tang Baoer to sort out things in Luoyang. Once all the family businesses were settled and the people who needed to be replaced were replaced, he could return to Fuliang.

As for why he is here, it is because Luoyang is the base of the Tang family. Tang Baoer's roots here are not as strong as those of the Tang family, so personnel transfers will encounter some resistance. Xia Lin stays here to let Tang Baoer take advantage of his power.

"Miss, miss."

Tang Baoer's maid suddenly asked while accompanying the young lady while waiting for the account to be counted: "You look so tired these days, and your voice is a little hoarse. I'll go home and make you some Tremella soup tonight."

"Throat..." Tang Baoer muttered, her face visibly reddened: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it."

At this moment, Xia Lin happened to walk in, greeted the maid, and took a banknote: "Go to the east of the city to buy some things for the journey, and keep the extra money for yourself."

"Thank you, son-in-law!" The maid ran away happily with the money.

At this moment, Tang Baoer looked up at Xia Lin, only to see that he had already locked the door. She said in astonishment, "It's still daytime..."

"I just suddenly thought of it." Xia Lin laughed and picked up Tang Baoer: "What's the difference between day and night!"

Tang Baoer didn't dare to speak loudly, so she could only whisper: "You don't know how to be tired..."

"It's good to be young."

The clothes fell down as soon as his hand slipped. It can be said that he was very familiar with the process. How to say it, he really loved this soft tofu-like Tang Baoer. Even just thinking about it could make him transform wildly.

Anyway, she has a special magical fragrance on her body, which is more magical than Cialis dual-effect, and it can even be addictive.

"Lift your hair up."

Hearing this, Tang Baoer knew what to do, and she tied her hair up consciously. But at this moment, noisy footsteps sounded outside.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Fuck!
Xia Lin cursed, then covered Tang Baoer with a blanket and put on his clothes: "Wait until I come back."

"Okay." Tang Baoer propped up her head with her arms: "Don't let anyone see the flaws."

As she spoke, she pointed at Xia Lin's second brother.

"Damn it..." Xia Lin quickly tidied up his clothes and walked out.

When Xia Lin saw that the person who came to announce the decree was Tian En, he immediately knew that good things were coming.

After seeing him, Tian En looked him up and down, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, Mr. Xia, long time no see. People say you are injured there, but in my opinion, the injury has healed, otherwise you wouldn't be so energetic."

Xia Lin lowered his head and took a look, then laughed: "Oh, it's normal for young people to take a nap."

Tian En sneered: "I won't read the imperial edict. His Majesty asked me to give it to you directly. I rushed it over 800 miles to you. I am so tired that I feel like my whole body is falling apart."

"Oh, that must have been hard work, Otomo. Come on, come on, someone, Junko! Take Otomo to relax."

Before leaving, Tian En looked at Xia Lin again, then patted his arm and said, "Young man, be more restrained and don't hurt yourself."

"Thank you for your concern." Xia Lin bowed and said, "I really just took a nap."

"You smell like a woman, and you still want to lie?" Tian En laughed: "As for me, I have served His Majesty and His Majesty for a lifetime, so my nose is very sensitive."

"She smells really good..." Xia Lin leaned over and whispered, "Oban is very knowledgeable, do you know why?"

"How should I know?" Tian En rolled his eyes: "I'm just a eunuch who smells like urine."

"Alas! Don't say that, Otomo. The fact that the Wei Dynasty is as stable as it is today is because Otomo is as good as three prime ministers."

Tian En was stunned for a moment, then his eyes became clear: "How do you put it?"

"Without the great companion, Your Majesty would have no one to talk to, and he would be lonely and have wild thoughts. Although it is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, the great companion can calm the tiger in Your Majesty's heart. This is the ability of the great companion. There will be no war in the world, and the third success is up to you."

"Okay, okay, good boy." Tian En's resentment disappeared at once: "You are a sweet-talker. I have heard a lot of compliments, but no one can make people happy like you. Well, I won't disturb you. The spring day is getting warmer. I should go and have a rest. I have to return tomorrow."
