Happy Emperor

"Tianba, go ahead and select half of the soldiers to stay in Qingning Prefecture to assist Batu Wen in handling affairs. We will be heading to the front in two days."

Lin Tian gave instructions in a deep voice to Huang Tianba who was standing beside him.

He didn't want Huang Tianba to stay here and have a hard time.

"As you wish! I'll go right away."

When he heard that they were going to the battlefield, Huang Tianba did not hesitate at all and his eyes became determined.

He left, opened the door and walked out.

Wait until the door is closed again.

Lin Tian then stood up and walked to Lin Ruxue.

He said coldly: "Take it out!"

"I......"

"I asked you to take it out!" Lin Tian raised his voice.

“Here…here.”

Lin Ruxue took out the letter from behind her and handed it to Lin Tian.

After Lin Tian took the letter and took a quick look at it, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It was indeed a letter written by Lin Zhen to Tang Bo.

He explained in detail how to get the people of Zhao to help Tang Bo obtain the position of governor of Liao'an Province, and then disrupt grain transportation, incite public anger, and later cooperate in launching riots, etc.

After reading it, Lin Tian put the letter away.

Then he looked at Lin Ruxue again and asked in a cold voice, "Do you still want to help Lin Zhen?"

Before Lin Tian read the letter, he thought it contained content related to King Pingdong, and this time made the little girl want to hide something that was unfavorable to her father.

But after reading it, he found that the content of the entire letter did not involve Pingdong King Lin You at all. Lin Tian didn't understand why she hid the letter.

"I...I'm not trying to help him."

Lin Ruxue's eyes were slightly red.

"Then why did you hide these letters?"

“I…I just haven’t thought it through.

"I know you will find a way to let everyone in Daxia know that Lin Zhen betrayed Daxia."

Lin Tian didn't reply, that's what he thought.

If you want to defeat Lin Zhen by force alone, the price you have to pay is too high.

It was so big that if the Seven Nations Alliance wanted to attack Daxia, Lin Tian would have no room to fight back, so he had no choice but to do this.

Moreover, there is another benefit to doing this.

That is to let the people of Daxia know that King Pingdong is not the god of war of Daxia, nor is he a hero who protects Daxia. Even if that was the case, it was in the past.

The people are loyal to me and no longer the King of Pingdong.

Otherwise, even if he could really defeat King Pingdong, Lin Tian would only be charged with the crime of killing meritorious officials. The people of Daxia would not agree with him, and all the vassal kings would be dissatisfied with him in their hearts.

If there is any unrest in the outside world at that time, he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne.

"I...I don't want my father's reputation, which he cares about most, to be ruined by that bastard Lin Zhen."

"If you don't give me this letter, Daxia might be destroyed! Even your father might..."

Lin Tian couldn't bear to let Lin Ruxue know the truth.

Lin Zhen has now begun to gradually undermine the power of King Pingdong. If King Pingdong knew the truth, given his personality, he might not even be able to save his life.

"I......"

Lin Ruxue knew that what Lin Tian said just now was not a lie.

Moreover, she had been struggling with whether to hand this letter to Emperor Li, because she knew her father and was more concerned about the safety of Daxia.

My father would rather die than see any problems in Daxia.

"Silly girl."

Lin Tian touched Lin Ruxue's head.

Suddenly asked: "What do you think of Huang Tianba?"

"what?"

Lin Ruxue was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect Emperor Li to suddenly ask her this question.

"He's a good guy, brave and good at fighting! He always thinks he's a younger sister."

"Huh? Oh."

This time it was Lin Tian's turn to be speechless.

This fucking guy likes someone so much that he wants to recognize her as his sisters?

Is this a routine!

First she was an elder sister, then a younger sister, and finally a daughter-in-law?

But this was not popular in ancient times.

The sworn brotherhood is real, but if Lin Ruxue agrees, even he, the emperor, will not be able to grant the marriage.

"But I didn't agree, this big fool..."

When Lin Ruxue mentioned Huang Tianba, her face seemed a little unnatural.

"My love, my love?"

When Lin Tian saw Lin Ruxue like this, he also realized that she seemed to have some feelings for Huang Tianba.

Forget it, let’s ignore them both.

Develop it yourself.

Lin Tian sighed inwardly.

.......

A few more days.

Batu Wen managed the entire Qingning Prefecture well, it could even be said to be well organized.

The people of the city gradually learned the truth of the matter. The emperor of Daxia came to their Qingning Mansion to deal with the corrupt official Tang Bo.

Moreover, the extra grain was redistributed to the people from house to house.

The people's previous dissatisfaction with the emperor has now shifted to hatred towards Tang Bo.

The families of those who died that day while blocking the city gate to prevent Huang Tianba from entering the city were initially worried that Emperor Li would blame them for this, but later they unexpectedly received compensation in silver from the government.

These people immediately developed a favorable impression of this emperor whom they had never met.

Moreover, in addition to the guards sent by An Bilie, there are now many more people from Qingning Prefecture outside the Yanyu Pavilion in Qingning Prefecture.

They cursed outside almost day and night, and some even threw stones into the house.

Of course, Lin Tian would not care about these things, and even asked An Bilie to protect the safety of these people.

"Your Majesty, the people from the Misty Rain Pavilion want to see you. Do you want to see them or not?"

When An Bilie arrived at the governor's residence, he didn't know how many times he had reported this matter to Emperor Li in the past few days.

"Did they agree to hand over the person?"

Lin Tian didn't even raise his head, watching the battlefield news reported by his seventh brother Lin Tianyang and others on the front line, as well as the two vassal kings Li Ren and Zhao Wuji.

"not yet."

An Bilie bowed and replied, "But I have already admitted that Tang Bo is hiding in the Misty Rain Pavilion."

"kindness."

Lin Tian nodded slightly and stretched.

"Your Majesty, the Misty Rain Pavilion in Liaoan Province is not controlled by the Zhao State. Therefore... I suggest that you meet with the owner to see what he truly wants. This will prevent us from staying here too long and hindering our journey to the front lines."

Lin Tian wrote a single "Do as instructed" on the memorial jointly submitted by the Seventh Prince and others requesting funding to increase the salaries of frontline soldiers.

Then he said coldly: "Bring the person here."

"According to the order!"

Ever since he got the gold left by the emperor, Lin Tian is no longer as frugal in spending money as before, and calculates every penny carefully.

In the past few days, he even recruited a large number of skilled craftsmen around Qingning Prefecture and began to secretly forge his muskets and ammunition.

In just a few days, thousands of skilled people were found from the surrounding areas, and the construction speed was extremely fast.

He roughly estimated that if he was given another month, those muskets would be enough to equip 5,000 people.

It is ten times more exaggerated than the original one.

At the same time, Huang Tianba also led his soldiers to practice shooting day and night.

In Lin Tian's words, he doesn't want soldiers who can only fire blanks.

“It’s great to have money!”

Lin Tian sighed inwardly.
