Chapter 530 This Matter is Too Big
He knew very well that King Fu was now in a difficult situation and the troops attacking Kyoto were not large enough.
The troops stationed under Tianzhi City do not have the ability to break the city and fight against themselves.
Therefore, including Prince Fu, Emperor Dazong, Prince Rui and Grand Tutor Wan, all of them were waiting and watching.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Feng.
In Kyoto, after Prince Rui submitted a memorial, he waited for several days but the emperor did not say anything.
I came to the palace early this morning and asked to see the emperor.
Prince Rui sat outside the emperor's bedroom and waited for an hour before a eunuch came to greet him.
"Prince Rui, the Emperor invites you to speak in Chengde Hall."
Prince Rui did not move: "I will wait here for the emperor."
The eunuch had no choice but to turn around and leave.
After waiting for another half an hour, Emperor Zhao Zhen finally appeared at the door of the bedroom.
Served by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, Zhao Zhen walked lazily to the front of Prince Rui.
Prince Rui stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you."
"You came to see me so early, is there something urgent?"
King Rui looked up and glanced at the sun which was approaching noon.
"Brother Emperor, I wonder if you have read the memorial I sent a few days ago?"
Zhao Zhen rubbed his forehead and said, "Tell me about it. I can't remember it."
Prince Rui could only say, "Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army has repeatedly defeated the rebels and is now stationed in Tianzhi Prefecture, confronting the rebels. With 30,000 men, they have tied up half of the rebels. Please, Your Majesty, issue an imperial decree to commend them to encourage the three Zhenxi armies and boost their morale."
Zhao Zhen frowned and glanced at Prince Rui.
"It seems that I issued an edict a few days ago, asking Lin Feng to come to Jingdu Weicheng as soon as possible. Grand Tutor Wan will reward them."
"Grand Master Wan? My Royal Brother, how could it be Grand Master Wan commending the Zhenxi Army?"
"Oh, I have ordered the Zhenxi Army to be merged into the Imperial Guards and placed under the command of Grand Tutor Wan."
King Rui stood there for a moment.
"Royal brother, this is inappropriate."
"What's wrong?"
"Royal brother, Lin Feng came to the capital to support the emperor and quell the rebellion. Not only did he travel a long distance, but he also won numerous battles. The Zhenxi Army was originally an independent army outside the imperial court. How did it come under the command of Grand Tutor Wan?"
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes: "Why, do you think the position of Grand Tutor Wan is not enough?"
"Hey, it's not a question of whether it's enough, it's that Lin Feng..."
"Is it Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army that is not under the jurisdiction of the Dazong court?"
Zhao Zhen interrupted King Rui with a very dissatisfied tone.
Prince Rui quickly explained, "Brother, the rebels are rampant and have besieged Kyoto for a long time. The 100,000 Imperial Guards are struggling to hold out. In times of crisis, the Zhenxi Army rushed all the way and repeatedly defeated the rebels, which is how we were able to maintain the current situation. If the Zhenxi Army were to fall under Grand Tutor Wan's control, wouldn't we be back to square one?"
Zhao Zhen waved his hands impatiently.
"Go talk to Grand Tutor Wan about this. I'm tired."
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the bedroom.
Only Prince Rui Zhao Xun was left standing in the corridor in a daze, his hair flying in disarray in the breeze.
After much pleading, he finally moved Lin Feng and led his troops into Beijing to quell the rebellion.
Unexpectedly, when the situation improved slightly, Emperor Zhao Zhen lost track of the north and the south.
Not to mention that Lin Fengtong disagreed with the Zhenxi Army being under the command of Grand Tutor Wan. Even if he agreed, with Grand Tutor Wan's ability, how could he withstand King Fu's rebel army?
What happened to my royal brother?
He was quite obedient a few days ago, but why has he become so stubborn now?
Prince Rui sighed, shook his head, and said softly, "Alas, it's better to just not do anything when you're drunk."
Lin Feng did not wait for the news from King Rui, but waited for the messenger from King Fu.
The man who came was a man in his forties, dressed like a scholar, gentle and handsome.
When he was brought in by the guards, he looked relaxed and had a smile on his face.
"Tian Zhongru meets General Lin."
Lin Feng sat behind the desk and nodded at him.
Seeing that Lin Feng did not give up his seat, Tian Zhongru had no choice but to stand up straight and speak loudly.
"The general is so impressive and truly has the demeanor of a great general. I am impressed by him."
Lin Feng said calmly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Okay, the general is straightforward, and I, Tian, am not pretentious. I was entrusted by King Fu to come and debate with the general about the future of the clan."
"This is a big deal, let's talk about something smaller."
"General, don't underestimate yourself. You are already able to influence the future of the clan. Just ask yourself, who else in the world can match General Lin's ability?"
Lin Feng was impatient: "Did King Fu ask you to flatter Lin?"
"No, no, what Tian said is the truth. The Great General, the Great Emperor Zhao Zhen, is incompetent, licentious and immoral. He has caused great suffering to the people of the world and has ignored their suffering. He is not a good ruler. Prince Fu once said in public that if General Lin is willing to assist Prince Fu in ascending the throne, he will be appointed General Guarding the Nation, commanding all the troops and ranking first among the Three Dukes."
Zhao Shuo couldn't help but sneer at the side: "What a big tone! Prince Fu is cruel and unscrupulous, he is a traitor and has caused chaos in the world. He is the culprit of this chaos."
Tian Zhongru shook his head: "That's wrong. Prince Fu really wants to save the people from disaster..."
Before he could finish, Lin Feng raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Forget it, since this matter is too big, do you have anything smaller to say?"
Tian Zhongru had a lot of truths to say, but they were all suppressed and his face turned red.
"Yes, General, if you return to King Fu, you will have vast acres of fertile land, a luxurious house, and beautiful wives. Everything you desire."
"Can you tell me something good that's actually happening right before my eyes?"
Tian Zhongru reached into his bosom and pulled out a golden sign.
"General, this is the golden medal of King Fu. With a nod, you can command all the troops under King Fu and be called Marshal."
Lin Feng nodded and smiled: "Well, this is really a bit sincere."
Zhao Shuo was anxious: "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. Prince Fu Zhao Zheng is always ruthless and unkind. How can you trust him so easily?"
Tian Zhongru immediately refuted: "This is wrong. Prince Fu is benevolent and righteous, and the world knows it. For the sake of the people of the world..."
Lin Feng knew that this person was eloquent, so he quickly raised his hand to interrupt again.
"Wait a minute, let me see the sign."
Tian Zhongru held back his words and stepped forward.
Just as he raised his leg, Zhao Shuo stopped him and took the gold medal from his hand.
He turned around and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took the gold medal and looked at it repeatedly.
This gold medal is very heavy, probably made of solid gold, with four big characters engraved on it.
"Grand Marshal of the Army."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "This position is specially set up for Lin?"
Tian Zhongru bowed and said, "General, you have a keen eye. That's exactly what you have."
"Okay, what's the name of the leader of the army outside the city?"
"The general under King Fu's command is Su Zhongwang, and there is also the general of the Black Scarf Army, Niu Xiangqian."
"Well, then, with this card, can I order General Su Zhongwang to mobilize the army and destroy the Black Scarf Army?"
"Of course... Uh, General Lin, you're joking. How can this be possible?"
Tian Zhongru almost said he was scared.
Lin Feng stared into Tian Zhongru's eyes: "Really?"
"It's really not possible."
Lin Feng threw the gold medal to the ground.
"Then what use do I have for this card?"
Zhao Shuo laughed heartily: "Hahahaha...boy, you guys are so contradictory yourselves, what nonsense are you trying to say?"
Tian Zhongru took a deep breath and said, "General, this is wrong..."
