Happy Emperor

Lin Tian had expected that King Pingdong would not come.

He was just saying it that day and didn't expect King Pingdong to give in at all.

But Lin Tian also didn't expect that he would send any special envoy over, and so quickly.

The person who came must be the absolute confidant of King Pingdong.

Otherwise, Zhen Niumeng, the chief official of the royal palace in Shengjing, can do it.

But Lin Tian still couldn’t figure out why King Pingdong sent people here at this time.

Seeking peace?

Demanding the surrender of the prince?

Or is it a test to see if the decision to go to war has been made?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Emperor Li had been silent, I wondered what he was thinking.

Baturin whispered from the side.

"Bring people in."

Lin Tian looked up at Baturin and said.

The old man seems to have aged a lot these days.

The black hair on the beard has been significantly reduced, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are more dense.

It seems that the pressure that King Pingdong put on him was really great, otherwise he wouldn't have changed so much in just one month.

But it’s better this way, at least this old guy will no longer have any ambitions.

"Your Majesty, the special envoy of King Pingdong did not enter the palace with me, but..."

Baturin paused and looked up at Emperor Li, who had a stern expression.

"Didn't he come to see me?"

After hearing this, Lin Tian asked in a deep voice.

"He naturally came to see His Majesty, but..."

Baturin was still a little hesitant.

The request of the special envoy of King Pingdong was indeed a bit excessive, and he did not dare to tell it directly to Emperor Li Ming in front of him.

To be honest, he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

Now he saw clearly how ridiculous his wild desire to unify Da Xia was.

Even if he controlled Shengjing and the three surrounding provinces, he would not be a match for King Pingdong.

Besides, in addition to the King of Pingdong, there are three other kings of different surnames, none of them is easy to deal with.

And the Emperor Li who has been dormant for many years.

None of these people were something he could handle.

"Sit down and have a drink of water. You've worked hard these days, father-in-law."

Seeing that Baturin seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lin Tian smiled and invited Baturin to take a seat.

"From now on, you can enjoy your retirement in Shengjing. Leave the affairs of Liao'an and Jifeng provinces to me."

"this....."

The corner of Baturin's mouth twitched. It was obvious that Emperor Li was trying to seize power completely.

But he did have the desire to retire.

His daughter was an imperial concubine, and his two sons were governors of two provinces.

It would be wise to retreat now.

He sighed deeply and said, "Okay, since Your Majesty cares about me, I will obey your orders."

After saying this, Baturin suddenly felt that the burden on him disappeared in an instant.

It seems that the words I didn't dare to say just now can be said directly.

"Your Majesty, the King of Pingdong's special envoy has requested that you come to see him outside the palace. He has also stated that he will only wait for one day. If you do not come, he will return to his territory."

Baturin said all the words he had not dared to say just now in one breath like a machine gun.

Then he glanced at Emperor Li.

He was surprised to find that Emperor Li showed no anger or dissatisfaction, not even a slight change in expression.

He just calmly sat back on the dragon throne, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Lin Tian did not ignore this special envoy, but he knew it in his heart.

This special envoy of King Pingdong was not trying to show off, but was testing whether he was really determined to go to war.

Seeing that Emperor Li had been talking for a long time, Baturin became a little restless.

Even if he is preparing to retire.

But if the emperor's throne is not secure, his life will certainly not be easy.

Now Emperor Li has left the special envoy alone, which is equivalent to missing a good opportunity to negotiate peace.

"Your Majesty, how about this old minister go and talk to the King of Peace's special envoy and have him come into the palace to pay you an audience?"

Baturin whispered a reminder from the side.

"This old guy, I didn't expect that he was still concerned about this matter when he was about to leave office." Lin Tian said in his heart.

But he didn't say anything, he just stood up.

"Your Majesty is truly a sage ruler, willing to submit to others to prevent Daxia from falling into civil war. The people of Daxia are fortunate!"

Baturin thought that Emperor Li wanted to meet the special envoy of King Pingdong, and hurriedly flattered him.

Lin Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and opened the study door.

Turning around, he said, "Father-in-law, how long have you not seen Jin'er?"

"what?"

Baturin was stunned. He was not sure if he had heard it correctly.

"I said, how long has it been since you last saw Batu Jin?"

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to meet the special envoy of the King of Pingdong?"

Baturin looked at Emperor Li in astonishment.

"No, I will accompany you to see Concubine Batu." Lin Tian replied calmly.

"But...how can love be compared with state affairs? Your Majesty, you should still..."

Baturin urged.

"I can't even manage my own little family, how can I manage the 'big family'? Come with me."

After saying that, he strode towards Batujin's bedroom regardless of anything.

......

Night falls.

Lin Tian was enjoying the pleasure of sex in Batujin's bedroom.

at the same time.

At the residence of the Chief Secretary of the Prince of Pingdong's palace, a handsome man frowned.

Zhen Niumeng stood respectfully aside, without saying a word.

Not long after, a woman in black walked in quickly.

She leaned close to the handsome man and whispered a few words in his ear.

"You said Baturin returned to Batu Mansion in the evening?"

The handsome man had a stern expression on his face, and his voice, though filled with anger, was still pleasant.

The pair of fair and tender hands were slightly clenched.

"Did Lin Tian send anyone to investigate here?"

"No, no outsiders have ever been around the Changshi Mansion." The woman in black replied softly.

"Ms. Ruxue, do you think Baturin didn't dare to tell Emperor Li about our request?"

The woman in black guessed in a low voice.

It is not difficult to hear from the words of the woman in black that the handsome man is actually a woman disguised as a man.

"impossible!"

Lin Ruxue said firmly: "Baturin has long been frightened by his father's cavalry. He dare not hide anything of such a major event from Lin Tian."

"That means Emperor Li is too embarrassed to meet us."

The woman in black pouted and said angrily.

"This self-righteous fellow really thinks he is so great just because he has conquered the three provinces of Shengjing. It is already an honor for him that the young lady can come to see him."

Lin Ruxue did not respond, but turned to look at Zhen Niumeng beside her.

"Uncle Zhen, why do you think Emperor Li didn't come to see me?"

"My Lord, I cannot be sure. But from my understanding of Emperor Li, it is impossible for him to refuse to see you for the sake of face."

Zhen Niumeng had seen how shameless Emperor Li was.

In order to trick a group of long-time histories, he even bowed his head and invited them to dinner.

Zhen Niumeng shuddered all over when he thought of that night.

"Has he really decided to fight to the death with my father?"

Lin Ruxue looked outside, guessing secretly in her heart.

"Miss, what are we going to do tomorrow? Are we going back like this?"

The woman in black beside her asked in a low voice.

"Let's talk about it later!"

Lin Ruxue took off her hat, and her long hair like a waterfall instantly fell on both sides of her shoulders.

Under the light, a charming beauty appeared in the room.

"Uncle Zhen, please go out first. If Lin Tian comes over later, remember to call me!"
