Happy Emperor

Lin Tian heard this.

His pupils suddenly turned cold, and murderous intent surged in his heart.

But he remained calm on the surface and just looked at Ji Qiang indifferently.

"Smuggling food? How many days has it been?" Lin Tian asked tentatively.

He wanted to know whether Ji Qiang knew about his arrangements. If he did, he must not let this boy stay.

"Ten days!" Ji Qiang replied calmly.

"Why didn't you report this matter directly to the Military Affairs Office?" Lin Tian asked coldly.

You know, Ji Qiang is a member of the Ji family, and reporting this matter to Ji Feng as soon as possible is his reasonable choice.

"I originally intended to report this to my second uncle, but..."

Ji Qiang paused, then continued, "But five days ago, I heard something and gave up the idea."

"Oh?"

Lin Tian didn't expect Ji Qiang to be so calm. For a moment he didn't understand his purpose.

"What is it? My dear, please tell me."

"I have heard that our emperor is a rare talent in Daxia. I also know that our Ji family has lost control of Shengjing."

Ji Qiang's words remained calm, and Lin Tian could not find any problems in them.

Moreover, Lin Tian also discovered that Ji Qiang was extremely meticulous and was able to discover that Batu's family was smuggling grain.

That’s not all. Although he was not in the inner city of Shengjing, he knew everything that happened in the inner city.

This guy is much better than Ji Feng who only knows how to show off everywhere.

"Do you want to betray your uncle and surrender to me?"

Lin Tian simply stopped hiding it and said directly: "I guess you also know that I have sent An Jie to intercept the Batu family's food."

After saying this, Lin Tian stared at Ji Qiang.

When Ji Qiang heard this, he was stunned at first, then nodded.

He didn't expect that Emperor Li would tell him the whole story.

This does not mean that Emperor Li likes to show off in front of his ministers, nor does it mean that Emperor Li trusts him.

Instead, it was a test to see if he had any backup plan.

If not, Emperor Li would probably kill him without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Ji Qiang looked at Emperor Li's cold gaze again and said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, not only do I know, but I have also arranged for someone to wait outside the palace. If I haven't left by the time Yinshi comes, he will tell the Batu family about this matter. I, who am in charge of the army, will also surrender to Lin Tianyang that night."

"Are you threatening me?" Lin Tian asked with narrowed eyes.

He was right. Ji Qiang was a scheming person. It would be great if he could use such a person for his own benefit.

But Lin Tian couldn't be sure whether his visit was arranged by old dog Ji Feng.

"No, I dare not threaten the Emperor, but I will surrender to Your Majesty."

"Surrender? Why should I trust a traitor of my family?"

"Three o'clock!"

Ji Qiang took a deep breath and then told the story.

"First, the emperor is the leader of his subjects. My Ji family was deeply trusted by the late emperor, and my father was the chief minister. We should never have betrayed Daxia and failed the late emperor."

"Secondly, Your Majesty and I have a common enemy. My father was unwilling to usurp power and was poisoned to death by Ji Feng. He thought I was unaware of it."

"Third, the current Queen Ji Lan is my biological sister. She was adopted by Ji Feng when she was young."

Hearing this, Lin Tian was quite shocked.

If these were all true, he did have reason to accept Ji Qiang's surrender.

But who can guarantee that this is not Ji Feng’s evil plan?

Seeing that Emperor Li's face was changing from gloomy to bright, he did not express his opinion for a long time.

Ji Qiang was not anxious, but looked relieved.

You know, if the emperor really believed in himself, then the rumors outside were false.

Even if Emperor Li was not a tyrant, he was definitely not a saintly ruler.

An emperor like this would not make him surrender.

half an hour later

Lin Tiancai spoke slowly, "The reasons you gave are sufficient, but not enough? Do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Majesty, you don't believe what I said!" Ji Qiang replied.

"Yes!" Lin Tian nodded indifferently.

"I need three more moves to make Your Majesty trust me!"

"Well? Tell me about it."

Lin Tian looked curious and looked at Ji Qiang with even greater respect.

If they were poor and pedantic, they would either say something about dying to prove their resolve or curse and swear.

But if they were really allowed to die, they would all become cowards again.

But Ji Qiang did not do so. He remained organized and clear, which is really rare.

Seeing Emperor Li's curious expression, Ji Qiang immediately began to explain.

"First, I can give up the military power of the Infantry Command Office and hand it over to Your Majesty."

"Secondly, I am willing to personally kill Ji Feng, but I hope Your Majesty will spare the rest of the Ji family."

"Third, all of the Ji family's assets in Shengjing will be handed over to Your Majesty for disposal."

"very good!"

Lin Tian couldn't help but praise.

Ji Qiang's three moves were all to his liking.

Although this boy is cruel, he is also loyal and righteous.

But Lin Tian knew that he couldn't have come here without any desires or requests.

If he just wanted to avenge his father, he wouldn't have to find me.

Now that Ji Feng has lost his power, he can easily kill him in secret.

If he really acted like he had no desires or demands, Lin Tian would not dare to use him.

If such a scheming person does not have small desires, he must have big plans.

If he is given the opportunity to develop, he will be more terrifying than Ji Feng and Baturin.

"What do you want?" Lin Tian asked coldly.

Ji Qiang smiled faintly and said in a deep voice.

"I want three!"

"explain."

"Is it true or false that Your Majesty is marrying Batujin?" Ji Qiang did not state his request, but asked a question without any reason.

Lin Tian smiled secretly in his heart.

Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty!

It seems that Cao Aman almost died because of a young woman.

Could it be that this boy is doing this for a woman?

"Both true and false!" Lin Tian replied ambiguously.

He did want to marry Batujin, but his purpose was not as simple as just for a woman.

Of course, he also wants women.

Ji Qiang heard this and smiled.

"My Holy Emperor!"

He had already guessed what Emperor Li was thinking.

Marrying Batujin was fake, taking this opportunity to move to Baturin was real.

Ji Qiang spoke again: "Your Majesty, my first request is that my sister can always be the queen."

"Okay." Lin Tian nodded in agreement without even thinking.

For him, there doesn't have to be only one queen.

Just set up one queen each in the east, west, south and north.

Moreover, this number is enough. If there are too many women, it will affect his speed of drawing the sword.

"Second, once Your Majesty has conquered the three provinces and stabilized Shengjing, I am willing to be the vanguard, make great contributions, and complete the unification of Daxia."

"also may!"

If such a person sincerely surrenders, Lin Tian will naturally use him.

Moreover, the balance of military power is not as simple as a tiger talisman.

He will gradually reform later, but now is not the time.

"Third, I hope Your Majesty can clear the name of the Ji family! This is also the most important thing."

Lin Tian smiled and nodded in agreement.

No matter how smart you are, you still can't forget the false reputation.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

Ji Qiang didn't expect that Emperor Li would agree to his request so readily, and he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

"Minister, do you have any personal requests?"

"Fuck, are you done yet?"

Although Lin Tian has a good temper, he is the emperor.

If this kid's surrender was not beneficial for him to start the reorganization of Shengjing immediately, he would not have given him the opportunity to negotiate conditions here.

"Uh... I hope Your Majesty will allow me to offend you once more."

Ji Qiang also knew that he had gone a little too far, but he always believed that seeing is believing and hearing is not.

"Damn it, tell me."

Lin Tian has already started cursing.

This emperor is really frustrated. Not only does his ministers threaten him, but they also make a bunch of demands.

This~is not over yet.
