Outside the splendid palace, countless capable royal guards were arranged neatly on the jade steps, giving the luxurious palace a murderous aura.
Inside the main hall.
On the ninth level of jade steps, there is a luxurious and domineering throne.
The King of Nanxia, wearing a golden royal robe and a majestic crown, was sitting on the throne, looking calm and majestic.
Sitting next to the King of Nanxia was a beautiful young girl.
This girl is fifteen or sixteen years old. She has exquisite facial features and fair skin. She wears a silver-white princess crown and a luxurious aristocratic dress. A delicate belt is tied tightly around her unwieldy waist.
A cute bow.
Her whole body exudes an aura of nobility. No matter what angle you look at her from, she is so perfect and there is no flaw to be found. Even compared to Yun Ruoxi, she is definitely not inferior.
There is no doubt that this girl full of aristocratic aura is the princess of Southern Xia - Nangong Yan.
On the seventh jade step below the throne, there are three luxurious and majestic thrones, and the three monarchs are seated on these three thrones.
Under the ninth-level jade steps, all the civil and military officials of Southern Xia gathered together and lined up in two queues.
Murong Tuohai, who was once sworn brother to Lin Yun, is standing at the front of the queue on the left. This shows that his status is the highest under the King of Southern Xia and the three monarchs, and the head of the civil and military officials.
After everyone went to court, no one spoke, as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.
After waiting for a while, the figure of a young man in black finally appeared slowly from the door of the hall.
There is no doubt that this young man in black is today's protagonist - Lin Yun.
The moment Lin Yun appeared, the eyes of all the civil and military officials on the scene fell on Lin Yun.
The Princess of Nanxia, Nangong Yan, also looked at the young man who had defeated Prince Nangong with extremely curious eyes.
Although Nangong Yan had a bad impression of Prince Nangong, she still recognized his strength.
Nangong Yan had always believed that Prince Nangong was the most talented evildoer in Nanxia and could not be defeated.
When she learned that Prince Nangong was defeated by a young man named Lin Yun, she was so shocked that she couldn't believe it.
While she was shocked, she also became strongly curious about Lin Yun, and wanted to see what kind of boy he was who defeated Prince Nangong.
And today, she finally met this boy who had created miracles, and he was younger than she had imagined.
After Lin Yun arrived, Eunuch Li stepped forward, picked up the edict and read it out in front of everyone.
"By God's blessing, the King of Southern Xia issued an edict: Recently, a beast tide broke out in our Southern Xia. Yuzhou was severely affected, and all life was devastated. Fortunately, Lin Yun, a brave man, helped Nanxia fall and turned the tide. I am very relieved.
.”
"In recognition of Lin Yun's great achievements, this king announces that Lin Yun will be given the rank of second-grade military officer, in charge of an army of 100,000, and will be one of the top ten generals of Nanxia Zhenguo. He will be titled "General Wu'an". This is hereby announced to the world."
As soon as Eunuch Li finished reading, the whole hall was in an uproar, and all the civil and military officials present were talking about it.
Immediately afterwards, countless ministers stood up and persuaded the King of Nanxia.
"My King, the ten armies of the Southern Xia Kingdom have always been held by strong men from King Wu. Although Lin Yun is extremely talented, he has not really grown up yet. Without sufficient strength and qualifications, I am afraid he will not be qualified."
"The Tenth Army of Nanxia Zhenguo holds heavy troops, which is related to the safety of the country and the country of Nanxia. Such an important position must not be handed over to a young man. Please think twice, my Majesty the King!"
"The final general believes that General Dongfang Hao is completely superior to Lin Yun in terms of strength and qualifications. He is more suitable than Lin Yun to replace the Tenth Army of Nanxia Zhenguo."
The ministers who spoke here were all direct members of the three major families.
Unlike other kingdom systems, the Nanxia Kingdom is not monopolized by the royal family. Instead, it is supported by three major families.
Without the support of the three major families, the King of Nanxia would be nothing more than an empty shell.
Therefore, any decision the King of Nanxia makes must take into account the feelings of the three major families. Even if members of the three major families object, the King of Nanxia cannot do anything to them.
Murong Tuohai stood up at this time and said a good word for Lin Yun: "I believe that Lin Yun is extremely talented and powerful, and may not be qualified for the position of the Tenth Army of Nanxia."
The King of Nanxia nodded, and then directly asked the three monarchs for their opinions: "What do the three monarchs think?"
The three monarchs are the representatives of the three major families. As long as you convince these three old guys, you are equivalent to convincing all the civil and military officials.
Lord Zhenguo was the first to express his opinion: "Lin Yun is indeed a genius with unparalleled talent in cultivation. But after all, he is too young. Now, I think it is too hasty to confer him as the Tenth Army of Zhenguo in Southern Xia. I suggest that Lin Yun should be given first.
Yun, sealed from ordinary generals."
The Lord of Internal Affairs continued: "Lin Yun really has nothing to say when it comes to martial arts training. But in terms of strategy, he has not been deeply involved in the world, and there are still some shortcomings."
"The Tenth Army of Nanxia Zhenguo must not only have strong military force, but also know how to march, fight, and strategically deploy. It can be said that they are civilized and military, and have both wisdom and courage. Those who are brave but not wise may not be qualified for this position."
Lord Wai Xiao nodded and agreed: "We are full of talents in Southern Xia, and there are countless martial arts masters. If any strong man from the three major families can be found, his strength and strategy are far superior to Lin Yun, so why should my king choose Lin Yun?
?”
"How can you be so sure that Lin Yun is brave and foolish?" The King of Nanxia knew that these three old guys would not agree so easily.
The King of Zhen Guo and the King of Nan Xia are brothers and sisters, and he is upright and selfless. He does not agree with the canonization of Lin Yun as the Tenth Army of Zhen Guo. It is entirely for the sake of the overall situation and the sake of the country and the country of Nan Xia.
As for the Internal Affairs Lord and the Foreign Xiao Lord, they opposed Lin Yun entirely for their own selfish interests. The purpose was to get their own family members to take up positions in the Tenth Army that governs the country.
After hearing the words of the King of Nanxia, both the Internal Affairs Lord and the Outer Lord were thoughtful, and began to make their own little calculations in their hearts.
The Lord of Internal Affairs was the first to speak: "Since my king thinks so highly of Lin Yun, why not let all the civil and military officials of the court compete with Lin Yun?"
Wai Xiaojun hurriedly agreed: "The duties of the Tenth Army of Nanxia Zhengguo are crucial to the country and the country of Nanxia. We should not make a hasty decision. Letting all the civil and military officials compete with Lin Yun can also be used as a test for Lin Yun."
The Internal Affairs Lord said again: "What the Outer Lord has said makes sense. If Lin Yun can pass the test, we have nothing to say about serving in the Tenth Army. But if he fails to pass the test, how can he be qualified for the position of the Tenth Army?"
Lord Zhen Guo did not speak, but nodded in acquiescence. Apparently he felt that doing so was more responsible for the country of Nanxia.
The King of Nanxia didn't say anything, he just cast his gaze on Lin Yun and seemed to ask Lin Yun if he had the courage to accept the challenge.
Lin Yunjin originally didn't want to be in the limelight, but now that he was involved in this political dispute, he could only choose to help the King of Nanxia.
