The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 282

[Chapter 282 Military Token]

No one noticed all this, but Lin Tian pretended to glance over there inadvertently, as if he didn’t care.

Liu Zhang lowered his head slightly, avoiding the eye contact of others.

“I second the proposal. It would be great if Minister Lin went. He also has experience in hunting beasts!”

Another official also seconded the proposal, and slowly other officials agreed with this view.

Lin Tian smiled bitterly. This feeling was directed at him. As expected, he couldn’t expose his strength. This group of civil servants only knew how to talk.

Seeing this scene, Liu Zhang’s mouth flashed a smile that others could not detect.

Then he saluted solemnly and said to the emperor.

“I think!”

Liu Zhang said loudly and paused for a while. When the officials saw that Prime Minister Liu was speaking, they all slowly quieted down and listened to him.

“Minister Lin is not suitable to suppress the rioting beasts. He is just a minister of the Ministry of Works, and he was injured last time. It is not appropriate for him to go again.”

After saying this, Liu Zhang also deliberately cast a caring look at Lin Tian.

As soon as he finished speaking, those who suggested that Lin Tian lead the troops to go could not help but lower their heads in shame. What

Prime Minister Liu said was indeed reasonable. Lin Tian was injured now. Many people saw him coming back yesterday covered in blood.

Now they still shamelessly asked Lin Tian to lead the troops to quell the wild beasts’ riot. This was inevitably a bit unreasonable and seemed to be exploiting others.

“What do you think, Liu Aiqing?”

Seeing that Liu Zhang did not play by the rules, Emperor Zhengde, who was sitting at the top, was also a little surprised.

He could see that the two people had different positions.

“Minister Lin Tianlin is just a minister of the Ministry of Works. This matter of leading troops to eliminate wild beasts has nothing to do with him, but he is indeed the only one in the court who has this experience.”

Liu Zhang looked very embarrassed, as if he was unwilling to force Lin Tian, but he was also very worried about the safety of the people.

His appearance of being both a boss and a scapegoat made Lin Tian feel disgusted, but he did not show it at the moment, just looking at Liu Zhang steadily.

For some reason, Liu Zhang always felt a little guilty when he met Lin Tian’s eyes.

So he could only cast a caring look at Lin Tian, and then firmly moved his eyes to Emperor Zhengde.

“Why not give Minister Lin a new position?”

Liu Zhang said.

He was sparing no effort to increase Lin Tian’s hatred value at this time. If ordinary people want to climb to the position of Minister of Works, they have to spend most of their lives.

Some people may not be able to reach this height in their entire lives.

And Liu Zhang wanted the emperor to promote Lin Tian with just a few words.

Isn’t this just pushing Lin Tian to the opposite side of people?

Previously, Liu Zhang clamored to promote Lin Tian, but after being rejected, he now wants Lin Tian to hold multiple positions.

Holding multiple positions means that his subordinates have two powers and can receive two salaries.

And according to the current situation, it may be a civil official and a military officer position.

Then Lin Tian has the right to speak and the power

of the army! This is an unprecedented decision!

“How can this be? Liu Aiqing, do you know that this is against the rules!”

Sure enough, after hearing this, Emperor Zhengde’s face immediately turned bad, and he slapped the armrest next to him.

Eunuch Shun had never seen Emperor Zhengde so angry, so he was also shocked and couldn’t help but take a half step back.

“Your Majesty, calm down. It’s me who is eager for quick success.”

Sure enough, when he saw the emperor angry, Liu Zhang immediately put away his thoughts, knelt on the ground with a look of knowing that he was wrong, and dared not look up.

But no one saw that Liu Zhang lowered his head tightly to the ground, but a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had already done this. If Lin Tian turned a blind eye and acted as if it had nothing to do with him, it would be really unkind and unjust.

Moreover, he had assisted the emperor for many years, so he naturally understood that the people were the most important in the emperor’s heart.

If Lin Tian ignored the people for his own selfishness, his image in the emperor’s heart would definitely be greatly reduced!

In this case, he would not need to bother to get rid of Lin Tian.

“Don’t be embarrassed, everyone. I know I have this obligation, and I can’t abandon the people of the world. I am willing to take on this important task, and I hope Your Majesty will help me!” Sure enough,

after he knelt down, Lin Tian slowly walked out of his seat, stroked his official uniform, and pretended to kneel down.

“My dear Lin, you are injured, there is no need to perform such a great ceremony, stand up!”

But before Lin Tian knelt down, the emperor raised his hand slightly to stop him.

Lin Tian’s legs didn’t bend yet, so he straightened up and stood in the center of the hall.

Liu Zhang couldn’t help but feel itchy when he saw this scene, but he could only kneel down honestly, not daring to say a word.

Su Lin was also very angry, but he could only clench his fists tightly and tell himself to hold it in.

After all, their goal had been achieved.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

“In that case, let Lin Tian, the Minister of Works, lead 500 soldiers to suppress the beasts!”

The emperor finally decided after pondering for a long time.

When Lin Tian heard that there were only 500 people, he was stunned.

What can only 500 people do?

I’m afraid it’s not enough to fill the gaps between a few tigers.

He can indeed kill a tiger by himself, but it’s just him.

When Liu Zhang heard that the emperor only gave Lin Tian 500 people, he felt a little relieved.

It seems that Lin Tian has no status in the emperor’s heart, with only 500 people.

“Lord Lin, this is your military token.”

However, when Eunuch Shun came to Lin Tian with a tiger token, those people couldn’t help but change their faces when they saw the military token in their hands.

Liu Zhang’s face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

Not for anything else, just because that military token is unique to the emperor!

This is a tiger token that can command the Imperial Guards!

What kind of existence is the Imperial Guards? They are not controlled by any generals and obey the emperor’s orders.

Their duty is to protect the emperor. Their martial arts are better than any other soldier in the army.

It is not an exaggeration to say that one person can defeat ten people.

“Thank you, Eunuch Shun!”

“Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will not fail you!”

Lin Tian bowed heavily again. Although he could not kneel, he still showed the emperor full courtesy.

He also recognized this tiger talisman, which was enough to prove that the emperor attached great importance to this matter.

Therefore, he did not intend to mix any personal feelings into this matter. The safety of the people was the top priority.

“My dear ministers, do you have anything else to report? If there is nothing else, please withdraw from the court!”

After resolving this matter, the emperor looked around and said firmly.
