Of course, such words can only be thought in the mind and can never be spoken out loud.

As a student selected by the Central Committee, Lin Zhen knows very well that the struggles in the government are always more terrifying than one can imagine.

Just for a position with a little real power, hundreds of people would break their heads, sacrifice their bodies, and lose their fortunes.

What's more, Lin Zhenxian holds the lifeline of Daqian, which is a sharp knife hanging over everyone's head.

How could those officials who were barely surviving under his intimidation not resist? They would kill you at the slightest opportunity.

In three months, Southern Chu will invade. By then, Lin Zhenxian will die on the battlefield, and then the Lin family will be destroyed, and Lin Zhen will be turned into a human pig.

In fact, Lin Zhenxian was not weak at all in his ability to fight the enemy, he just lost in politics.

Lin Zhenxian, who has never been good at being tactful and disdains intrigue, has made too many enemies in the court.

During the war with Southern Chu, the fighting situation became tense. The empress followed the advice of treacherous ministers such as Gu Beichen and withheld food and supplies, resulting in the soldiers at the front not having enough to eat, not having warm clothes, and their weapons being rusted.

If we fight like this, there's no chance we can win.

Therefore, Lin Zhen must settle all matters in the court before Nanchu invades to avoid such a situation.

As long as Lin Zhenxian doesn't fall, the Lin family will never fall.

Lin Zhenxian seemed to relax a lot after listening to his grandson's explanation. He sat down on the armchair, took the teacup, gently stirred the tea leaves, and said with a pleasant expression.

"That woman has been crying outside the door, and you don't feel any pain at all?"

"Heh." Lin Zhen sneered: "They are just crocodile tears, there's no need to feel sad about it."

Lin Zhenxian was a little curious about this new term: "Crocodile tears? Is there any story behind this?"

"A crocodile, also known as the Nanzhao Earth Dragon. Rumor has it that before attacking a human, the Earth Dragon sheds tears, feigning compassion to lull the victim into a lowered state, and then suddenly attacks again. Another theory is that after catching its prey, the Earth Dragon feigns tears as it devours it. In short, this woman deserves it and doesn't deserve any sympathy."

"Then all the things you did for her before were all fake?" If this were true, even Lin Zhenxian would probably be afraid of Lin Zhen's courage and strategy.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen did not admit it.

"Not really. It just suddenly dawned on me on our wedding day. As a grandson, there's no woman I can't find. There's no need to be obsessed with just one."

"Great! This is my grandson, Lin Zhenxian!"

"Hahahaha." The old man was obviously very happy. He stood up and took out a token from his belt, "Uh..."

Lin Zhen’s eyes widened.

He knew that this was the tiger talisman of the four major camps in the capital! It was also something that Gu Beichen dreamed of getting.

As long as you have it, the 60,000 soldiers guarding the capital will be yours!

Lin Zhen suppressed his excitement and secretly prepared his acceptance speech.

Things like thanking parents, thanking society, thanking heaven and earth, etc.

But Lin Zhenxian suddenly hesitated, thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so he took it back.

Lin Zhen was anxious at that time!

Don't mention it!

This thing is much more effective on me than on you!

Lin Zhenxian: "Ahem, Zhen'er, you've been doing well these past two days. If you have nothing else, please leave."

"I am."

Lin Zhen was a little dejected.

Or maybe I was too much of a jerk in the past, which made Lin Zhenxian not trust me enough.

He was worried that he would do whatever he wanted after he got the military power.

It's true. Unless one is a fool, no one will hand over military power to a playboy. That would be disloyalty to the country and the society.

After leaving the house, Liu Shuyao was still kneeling there, tears streaming down her face.

"husband..."

"Prince Lin!!"

Before she could even utter the word "husband", the eunuch's distinctive duck-like voice shouted from outside the Moon Gate.

Lin Zhen looked over and saw three eunuchs in dark blue robes coming into the yard surrounded by ten imperial guards.

Lin Zhen knew this person. He was the eunuch in charge of Murong Yan's seal, Murong Wushe.

Lin Zhen greeted him with a smile: "So it's Master Wushe, nice to meet you."

"Prince Lin, ha ha ha." The dead eunuch said with a fake smile, "I have come to convey the emperor's decree, summoning you to the palace."

"Oh?"

Lin Zhen felt around and found he had no money, so he turned around and started groping around Lin Dana, finally pulling out a silver cake from his crotch.

Lin Zhen said with disdain, "You're so stingy! Aren't you afraid of getting your balls choked?"

"No, no, no, my lord, this is my wife's book!"

"Your wife is hidden in your crotch? It must be a reward from your grandfather. Why are you pretending? Go back and ask the accountant for reimbursement."

"I..."

Lin Zhen took the silver cake and placed it in Murong Wushe's hand with a smile on his face.

Although the latter was a little disgusted, he thought it was better than nothing, so he said with a smile: "Oh, what are you doing, Prince?"

"May I ask, Lord Wushe, why did His Majesty summon me to the palace so urgently?"

"Oh~ hehe, Prime Minister Gu brought his son here, and His Majesty is very angry about this."

Lin Zhen's eyes rolled: "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Master Wushe."

"I dare not, please follow me now, my lord."

"please."

......

The prince's mansion was some distance away from the imperial palace, and the round trip took at least an hour.

Lin Zhen wondered if he could make something of it.

Invent a taxi company.

Of course, there were no taxis in ancient times, but it was still possible to rent a horse-drawn carriage.

At present, horses are still important military supplies, which are expensive and not everyone can afford them.

Even if you can afford it, feeding grass and feed is a costly job.

So it’s true that you can afford to buy it but can’t afford to maintain it.

It’s just like the taxis in the 1980s and 1990s. The prices were also very expensive and most people couldn’t afford to buy them, but they could afford to ride in them!

If you need to go out for an urgent matter and don’t have a car, you can choose to take a taxi, which is fast and affordable.

Lin Zhen had observed that people traveling along the entire Zhuque Street basically walked, with the occasional playboy riding a horse and galloping past, causing a mess.

Very few people chose to ride in a carriage. Only a small number of officials would do so when they were traveling long distances. No one would take a carriage when entering the palace to meet the emperor. They would all walk to show respect for the imperial power.

If this is the case with officials, it is even more so with farmers, workers and businessmen other than officials.

Those who were better off raised horses directly, while those who were not so well off could not afford a carriage at all.

In that case, there is a lot to be done here!

Lin Zhen was complacent about finding a way to make a fortune, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the palace gate.
