Lin Haoming was very low-key when marrying Pu Hongling. First, he married him from Shangrongyuan, and second, Lin Haoming didn't want to make a statement, and there was no need.
However, this incident made Jiang Anning look at Lin Haoming with a high look and thinks Lin Haoming is very good. When he came to congratulate, he also sent valuable gifts.
With people at home, Lin Haoming became more stable and began to spend more time in the military camp. In this way, his relationship with several generals was getting better and better.
In addition to being familiar with the military affairs here in the imperial guards, Lin Haoming was also asked by Yang Kangkai several times to discuss matters. Lin Haoming's talent also made Yang Kangkai feel more and more important.
When winter was approaching, after a series of operations, Mian Lifeng was transferred from Tianzhu City and came directly to serve as the battalion commander of the guard battalion. Although his position was similar, the battalion commander of the imperial guard was much higher, which was specially approved by Yang Kangkai.
Before winter begins, some older soldiers or vacant soldiers are replaced due to some changes, most of them are replaced by children from the Mian family.
At the same time, the Ling Concubine was really left with a baby boy. Yang Kangkai did not immediately make Ling Concubine's child the crown prince, but the care in all aspects far exceeded that of ordinary princes. This also made many people think that even if His Majesty did not immediately make him crown prince, he would also train him towards the crown prince. As long as he did not perform too badly in the future, he would be the only candidate for the crown prince. Not to mention that Concubine De was named Prince Jing a month later, which also shows that His Majesty had no intention of letting him succeed to the throne.
Without the support of the queen, Concubine De naturally could not do anything, and she could only accept this reality, otherwise the ending would be even worse, and the same was true for Prince Jing.
Lin Haoming saw all these things, but he did not interfere. Even when he met Yang Kangkai, Yang Kangkai asked, Lin Haoming only said that it was His Majesty's family affairs, and he only cared about state affairs and ignored the family affairs. Yang Kangkai seemed to be more satisfied with this, and Lin Haoming also proposed the matter of training the new army, and Yang Kangkai seemed to be very interested.
After winter, Lin Haoming took turns to the palace to be on duty. This was also the first time Lin Haoming entered the palace to be on duty. As the Imperial Guard, Lin Haoming did not live in the palace, but in the courtyard next to the palace, and most of the soldiers also lived here.
Every day, there are imperial soldiers on the turn to guard the palace, but it is not as good as inside. There are special guards inside. Lin Haoming's duty is to defend the inner city, including the various government offices around him.
Because Lin Haoming can go home every day, and it doesn’t need to be inconvenient to go back and forth like outside the city. However, when the official duty was started, Lin Haoming still did not go back. First, he was familiar with the situation here, and second, he also inspected the scope of responsibility at night, which was considered loyal to his duties.
After staying for two nights, Lin Haoming planned to go back in another night, but unexpectedly, snowflakes began to float in the afternoon.
The climate of the Southern Shen Kingdom is relatively warm and snow is rare. Although the snowflakes are not big, they have attracted a lot of attention, especially when winter just begins.
When it was almost night, the snow had accumulated, and Lin Haoming had to send some people to clean up the snow around him. Just as Lin Haoming was patrolling the surroundings, Tao Zhen, the chief official of the Internal Affairs, ran out and went directly to Lin Haoming and said, "Guardian Cotton, Your Majesty is looking for you."
"Why did General Manager Tao come here in person?" Lin Haoming asked in surprise.
"Snow fell in early winter, and Your Majesty accompanied Concubine Ling out for a walk. As a result, he saw General Mian inspecting you, so he came to you." General Tao explained with a smile.
"Then hurry up." Lin Haoming agreed.
Following Tao Zhen, I arrived at the West Garden in the palace not long after.
The West Garden is the garden on the west side of the Chamber Hall in the palace. If Yang Kangkai is late in the meeting, he will have dinner with the court officials here, and sometimes he will also invite banquets here.
Now Lin Haoming entered the side hall here and saw Yang Kangkai sitting around the charcoal furnace, with a beautiful woman who looked in her twenties next to her.
Lin Haoming had never seen Concubine Ling, but at this time Lin Haoming knew that it seemed that this was the famous Concubine Ling.
"minister……"
Lin Haoming walked up to salute, but Yang Kangkai waved his hand and said, "Men Duwei, there is no need to be too polite. It's cold, come and sit down. I happen to have something to ask you."
"Yes!" Lin Haoming walked forward. At this time, Tao Zhen ordered the palace servant to bring a chair under Yang Kangkai.
As soon as Lin Haoming sat down, Yang Kangkai followed suit and asked: "How about it, I've been in the Imperial Guard for half a year."
"Everything is fine." Lin Haoming said with a smile.
"Well, you are in the Imperial Army, you don't know some things. The day before yesterday I received a secret report that the pseudo-emperor of the Western God Kingdom was already dispatching troops and hoarding food and grass. If you guessed it wrong, I plan to attack us from Ziwu Pass in the beginning of spring. I discussed with the court officials early this morning. Because you lost Tianzhu City, you are obviously unwilling to accept it. However, Tianzhu City cannot be taken back in a short time, so I plan to knock on Ziwu Pass." Yang Kangkai said slowly.
"The area around Ziwu Pass is flat, and there is nothing to guard against except for low hills. Originally, our country was heavily guarding there, and the West God Kingdom has always understood this point. It has not knocked directly for many years. It is our heavy army to guard the place, so this knocking may not be effective. Moreover, when the other party sends troops in the north, most of them will also send troops. At that time, the West God Kingdom will still shrink back. This is completely futile." Lin Haoming said.
"What you said is the same as what several generals in the court said. Do you think the Western God Kingdom will send troops for the sake of last year's face?" Yang Kangkai asked.
"Your Majesty, I know that too young dare not comment on it." Lin Haoming was silent for a moment before he said this. While speaking, he glanced at Concubine Ling, noticing that the woman was staring at him, and it was obvious that she was also observing him.
Before, Lin Haoming felt that this Lingfei was most likely to have arrived. Looking at her appearance, although she was not sure, she felt that the possibility was a little higher.
Yang Kangkai obviously didn't know at this time, and looked at Lin Haoming the same way and continued to ask: "If you were a pseudo-emperor, what would you do?"
Lin Haoming said as he took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and after spreading it out, it was the map.
"Oh, you've been carrying the map?" Yang Kangkai asked in surprise.
"I have been thinking about it all the time, and I just put it on my body. Your Majesty asked me, I have actually considered it a long time ago. Look at this place, this is Ziwu Pass." Lin Haoming pointed to the map.
"What do you mean?" Yang Kangkai asked.
