Chapter 209 The Emperor's Backhand, Putting a Nail
"Damn it, Your Majesty is so awesome. This makes the Emperor bow his head."
The people looked at the newly crowned King of Xiliang with shock in their eyes. The future of such a young northern overlord was about to change.
Some insiders feel even more weird.
Because logically speaking, although Lin Yi's record is somewhat impressive, it is definitely not unparalleled. Even the villain Tu Ningkun was not made a prince, so why would Lin Yi directly make him a king?
This is very wrong.
Could it be that it was really because of the military strength in the hands of the prince that this happened?
In the crowd, Zhang Ci and Hao Datong both looked puzzled. This was completely unreasonable and unreasonable. Ning Kun's achievements were much higher than Lin Yi's. Why would Lin Yi be crowned king first?
"Prefect Zhang, have you seen something fishy? Why do you always feel a little weird?" Hao Datong said a little strangely.
Zhang Ci nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice: "It's indeed a bit strange. The emperor's fear of the Lin family and his son is almost obvious. This time he unexpectedly granted Lin Yi the title of king. Maybe it's because of Lin Yi.
The large army in hand puts pressure on the emperor."
Previously, the emperor would rather upgrade Xiliang County alone to Xiliang Prefecture, and make Lin Yi the governor, because he did not want him to control the military power. This shows how resistant the emperor is to Xiliang.
It's just that the emperor never expected that things would change so quickly, and that the entire Ningchuan County would be captured by the enemy, causing Lin Yi to rise instantly and lose his tail.
Maybe this is the possibility.
Hao Datong nodded and frowned: "There is some truth in it. The 150,000 troops in Lin Yi's hands defeated the more than 100,000 troops of Tuoyu Yu and Tuoba Qingsong. No one can underestimate them!"
"Sir, what should we do if we leave first? Do we want to see Lin Yi immediately?"
"never mind!"
Zhang Ci shook his head, glanced at Tan Cheng with some disgust, and said in a deep voice: "We'll wait until the negotiation is over and leave. This guy is a talkative woman. She likes to complain to the emperor and show her existence. It's better not to be seen by him.
That’s good.”
Lin Yi naturally had no idea about the conversation between the two of them.
In fact, he also felt that there was something wrong, because this guy did not cause any trouble and directly handed over the position of King of Xiliang to him. This was a bit too refreshing.
He hesitated for a moment and directly accepted the imperial edict.
Don’t let the benefits delivered to your door go to waste.
However, we can test him. He smiled and said: "Sir Tan, you have worked hard to announce the decree, why not go to the palace and have a drink?"
"Wait a minute!"
Tan Cheng stretched out his hand to stop him, and then actually took out another imperial decree and said with a smile: "King of Xiliang, don't worry, there is another imperial decree here, which is about canonizing the Prime Minister of Xiliang."
"Xiliang Xiangguo?"
Hearing his words, Lin Yi suddenly realized. No wonder he was so happy before. It turned out that the problem was here. Li Anlan actually wanted to extend a hand.
He smiled and said: "Sir Tan, who is this Prime Minister? Do I know him?"
"Hahaha, I know this person too, and I am an old acquaintance with you." Tan Cheng glanced at Lin Yi and said with a proud look on his face.
Old acquaintance?
Lin Yi was slightly startled. This old acquaintance was a problem. He rarely had contact with Daning. Where did he come from? This old acquaintance was obviously a problem.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared next to Tan Cheng.
After seeing this person, Lin Yi couldn't help but shrink his pupils and said strangely: "Ran Zijin, this guy really healed his injury, no wonder he visited me in the court earlier!"
I almost beat him to a vegetative state before, but he was still saved.
No wonder the person who snagged me earlier said he was impeaching me. It turned out that I was cured and now I have become my own prime minister. This is really interesting.
Li Anlan's move was a bit dirty. He was losing someone who would not betray him.
"Your Majesty, you are well!" Ran Zijin said with a smile after seeing Lin Yi.
Yo ho!
Seeing him like this, Lin Yi instantly became interested. This guy seemed to want to compete with him, so he came here specially.
But doesn’t this guy know that he is no longer the powerful King of Xiliang now, and he is not someone he can provoke?
Seeing the confident look on his face, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "It turns out to be the head of the Ran family. Didn't I hear that you were injured by an assassin and were already in serious danger? I didn't expect that you actually recovered!"
Forehead!
Hearing these words, Ran Zijin, no matter how well-educated he was, couldn't help but twitch his face. Although he wanted to stab Lin Yi to death, he still had to smile and deal with it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Thanks to the palace doctor for curing me, I was able to stand up again."
He sighed and smiled bitterly.
"It's okay!"
Lin Yi chuckled. Since he finally stood up and dared to come out to cause trouble, I can only say that you are seeking death.
Now is not the past. If we say we want to kill you, we will kill you!
Tan Cheng watched the two people quarreling with each other with a smile on his lips, so that the two of them could avoid Xiang Guo and Lin Yi from getting together completely. This was also the emperor's back move.
Inserting Ran Zijin into Ningchuan County is to put a nail in Lin Yi's territory, a nail that will never betray him. This is what the emperor needs.
There is no need to worry about betrayal, and you can get news at any time, which is simply wonderful.
He took out the imperial edict and said in a deep voice: "Ran Zi came to accept the edict. Your Ran family has made great contributions to Daning. Now you are ennobled as the Prime Minister of Xiliang to assist the King of Xiliang in governing Xiliang. There must be no mistake!"
"I accept the decree!"
Ran Zijin glanced at Lin Yi and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the people behind him didn't like him.
In fact, he didn't want to come to this ghost place, but the emperor personally told him to come, so he had to come even if he couldn't.
He received the imperial edict, then bowed to Lin Yi and said respectfully: "Ran Zi comes in to see the King of Xiliang!"
"Haha, no need to be polite!" Lin Yi waved his hand and said indifferently.
Then he asked someone to carry the reward back, and then said hello: "The imperial envoy has worked hard this time. Let's go to the palace to have a rest first. I'll catch you in the wind!"
Tan Cheng did not refuse, but he secretly looked at the people under Lin Yi's command. Seeing that none of these people were good, he couldn't help but look ugly.
I'm afraid these people are not simple. Lin Yi is now full of wings.
"Hey, where is the white horse general under the prince's command? Why didn't you see him coming?" Tan Cheng asked tentatively.
Lin Yi glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "Sir Tan, Baima Yicong is the person I borrowed from, but these people don't give me any face at all. They only care about money and do things. I can't control them!"
