Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 541 I Hate Lin Feng

Lin Feng had already heard about the attitude of the court from top to bottom towards him.

All the ministers opposed Lin Feng's promotion, and even the emperor listened to Grand Tutor Wan and gave up promoting Lin Feng.

It's only been a few days, how come an imperial decree was suddenly issued?

Seeing Lin Feng's confusion, Han Su quickly bowed.

"To be honest, General, I've carefully reviewed this imperial edict. The font was written by Boss Zhu, but there's no problem with the seal and signature."

His life was spared by Lin Feng, so I won't hide it here.

Normally, if someone did something like this privately and the emperor found out, beating him to death would be the least severe punishment.

"Does your boss Zhu often write imperial edicts on behalf of the emperor?"

Han Su nodded affirmatively: "Indeed."

Zhao Shuo said anxiously, "Brother, since the imperial edict is true, there is nothing for us to fear. Just lead the army and attack."

Lin Feng acted as if he didn't care, and the one who was most anxious was Zhao Shuo.

The rebels attacked the Kyoto Acropolis, and the situation was extremely critical. It seemed that Grand Tutor Wan's Imperial Guards were about to be defeated.

But Zhao Shuo was helpless in the face of the court's attitude.

Even his own father, Prince Rui, was helpless in doing anything about it.

Emperor Zhao Zhen himself doesn't take the throne seriously, so why are the eunuchs so anxious?

Lin Feng knocked on the desk with the imperial edict in his hand.

"There's a legitimate commander in the Imperial Guards. Will they obey my orders? What's the point of this thing?"

Everyone in the room looked at him blankly.

Han Su's heart was filled with ripples of shock.

Look at his courage, what is he holding in his hand?

An imperial edict. Ordinary officials will never see this thing in their lifetime.

General Lin actually used it like this?

Bai Jing came back with Lin Feng. Before she left, she saw Zhao Shuo bringing the imperial edict.

She glanced at everyone's expressions, hurried forward, took the imperial edict from Lin Feng's hand, and gave Lin Feng a blank look.

"Cheng Liang, put this away carefully."

Cheng Liang also hurried forward a few steps, took the imperial edict with both hands, held it in front of his face, bowed and ran to the back hall.

Zhao Shuo and Han Su also breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the right attitude to have when facing an imperial edict.

Zhao Shuo came up to Han Su and gently tugged at his collar.

"Hey, what does the emperor do all day?"

Han Su of course recognized the young marquis in front of him, and immediately stood up and bowed.

"My Lord, the Emperor... we can't even see him."

"Alas, why don't you take the rebels seriously?"

Han Su leaned close to Zhao Shuo's ear and said, "My Lord, the palace is in chaos. Everyone is trying to find a way out. I wonder if my family can still make a living by following you, my Lord?"

"It's not over yet. With my big brother here, there's nothing to be afraid of. Just stay still."

Zhao Shuo was a little angry. Why did he feel that the Dazong court was going to be finished?

Zhao Shuo turned and looked at Lin Feng: "Brother, what are they thinking? They are still keeping this half-dead old guy. If you had let me lead the army earlier, the rebels would have been defeated long ago."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Alas, these old guys want it all. They can't bear to lose face and won't let go."

"They still have a glimmer of hope for Grand Tutor Wan. Until the very end, their reputation is more important than their life."

Zhao Shuo said bitterly.

"Okay, let them hold on. It won't hinder my economic development."

Han Su smiled flatteringly and said, "General, there's war raging outside our city. How can we develop the economy?"

"The war won't affect us at all, so just leave me alone."

Lin Feng waved his hand indifferently.

"Cheng Liang, look at the reward. It's not easy for Eunuch Han to come here."

Cheng Liang agreed, took out a piece of silver from somewhere and stuffed it into Han Su's hand.

"Hey, thank you for the reward, General. Han Su wishes you great wealth and a high position."

"Okay, go back. I received the imperial edict. Let's just keep it like this for now."

Han Su stood up and saluted, then took a few steps back and turned to leave the government hall.

Dazong Kyoto City, Imperial Palace.

Concubine Du sat in her palace, waiting quietly.

It was already the end of the hour of Hai, and outside, there was silence except for the sound of the night watchman.

Xu Jin, alone, quietly slipped to the gate of Concubine Du's palace and looked around.

There wasn't even a gatekeeper. After thinking for a moment, he stepped in.

As the chief of the palace guards, he was familiar with the residential structures of these key members of the imperial palace.

After making three turns and two twists, they arrived at Concubine Du's bedroom.

Through the carved door, I saw two lamps lit in the palace. Under the dim light, Concubine Du was sitting alone in the palace.

Xu Jin licked his dry lips and moved closer to the door to look inside carefully.

Under the lamp, Concubine Du was so beautiful that she looked more like a fairy from heaven than a human.

Xu Jin took a deep breath, calmed himself, reached out and gently pushed the door open.

There was only Concubine Du in the entire bedroom.

Hearing the sound of the door, she turned her head and looked at Xu Jin who was walking into the palace.

"Xu Jin, do you really think Grand Tutor Wan can't defend the Imperial City?"

Xu Jin turned around and closed the door, then walked a few steps to Concubine Du and looked her up and down.

"Your Highness, are you kidding me? That old guy can defend the imperial city. Isn't that a joke?"

"Stand back a bit and tell me why you can't hold on."

Concubine Du looked serious and scolded Xu Jin who was approaching.

Xu Jin glanced around the hall and found no one there.

"Hey, this isn't the first time for us, there's no one here with us, so why are we pretending?"

"Speak nicely, or I'll have you beaten to death!"

"You scared me to death. Who in this palace dares to attack me?"

"I'm really not trying to scare you. Does the Emperor dare to touch you?"

"The emperor is still drunk in his dream, hurry up and pack your things, it's time to leave."

Xu Jin didn't want to say any more. After taking her out of the palace, he could do whatever he wanted.

"No hurry, tell me the plan first."

Concubine Du sat there without moving.

Xu Jin suppressed his anxiety and said, "I'll take you to Shanglin Mansion. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is good. I also have relatives in the city. I promise you will live a good life there."

Concubine Du's pupils shrank: "Isn't that the territory of the Zhenxi Army?"

"Yes, I heard that Lin Feng is very prosperous and the people are very supportive. The prosperity of Zhenxi Prefecture is all due to him."

"Don't go."

"Ah? Why?"

"No reason, I hate Lin Feng."

Xu Jin blinked his eyes: "Lin Feng? What's your relationship with him?"

Concubine Du looked at Xu Jin coldly.

"It doesn't matter. I just hate him as a person. Is that okay?"

Xu Jin's mind was a little confused. His planned route was disrupted by Concubine Du's words.

"We're going to the Shanglin Mansion. We have no connection with Lin Feng at all. He's not annoying. What's the problem?"

"With you, the chief of the imperial guards, gone, who will protect the emperor's safety?"

Xu Jin chuckled, "Prince Fu's 200,000 troops are outside the city. Even if I stay, can I protect the emperor's safety?"

"You also know that the rebels are about to capture the city, why can't you stand with the emperor?"

"I want to, too, but will the emperor leave?"

"If the emperor doesn't leave, you should stay. Even if you have to die, you should stand in front of the emperor."
