The Tatar envoy returned to their residence as if they were mourning for their heirs. The next day, the regular court meeting officially announced the launch of tribute with the Tatars. Normally, the regular court ceremony was a royal ceremony, but this time it was a tribute from a foreign country, and it was natural that it would be held at Fengtian Hall. At the Great Court Meeting, hundreds of civil and military officials will stand on the left and right in court uniforms, showing the majesty of the great country and its majesty.
After Liu Ji returned to the Taoist mansion, the housekeeper came to the study and reported: "Master, the disciples sent to Songshan before have returned. The disciples of the Songshan sect who left without saying goodbye that day have been disabled by Zuo Lengchan. This time, another disciple was sent. Come here alone, do you think you want to go to Lin Mansion to explore again?"
Liu Ji raised his hand and said sternly: "No need, I already know the masters in the Lin family. It's not someone else, it's Lin Pingzhi. I didn't expect that this guy's martial arts is also extraordinary. Alas!"
The housekeeper was horrified when he heard the result. He thought about it for a moment and said, "What should we do with the people sent by Songshan?"
"Huh! Let him come and go as he pleases, he can't handle even the smallest things!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang's hearty laughter continued for a long time. Today's scene made him feel very happy. He was even more satisfied with Li Jie. Li Jie was still young and could assist the future prince in the future.
"Huai Daban, how do you think I should reward Editor Lin?"
Wynn smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has already made a plan in his mind, so I won't say any more."
"You! You!"

What happened in the school grounds in the morning spread throughout the capital in less than half a day, as if someone was adding fuel to the fire, and the word "Lin Pingzhi" became a hot topic among the people in the capital.
In Zuixian Tower, a group of scholars gathered together to talk about the past and present, and one of the scholars in brocade clothes said.
"It's so satisfying! Tsk, tsk, you didn't see the Tatar people's expressions. The taste in it is not enough for outsiders to understand."
Another scholar in blue who was obviously familiar with him asked: "Is it possible that you saw it with your own eyes?"
The others laughed heartily when they heard this.
"Ha ha!"
"hehe!"
The scholar in Jinyi's face turned red with shame and said angrily: "I...I didn't see it, but my brother's father-in-law saw it with his own eyes. He kindly told you that you actually laughed at me, huh! Next time I won't tell you anything about the imperial court." It’s about that.”
The scholar in blue hurriedly said: "No, no, please tell us how Xiaolin Tanhua defeated the Tatars. We haven't heard enough yet."
"Yeah, we don't laugh anymore, we don't laugh anymore."
"Yes, yes, please tell me the details so that I can appreciate Xiaolin's heroic appearance!"
The scholar in Jinyi looked arrogant and said: "Young man, don't count on me yet. Let's see if you still dare to make fun of me in the future. It is said that at that time, Xiaolin Tanhua jumped more than ten feet in one vertical step. Everyone was shocked, and then..."
…………
In the Tianxiang Pavilion, Zhu Bin and Sun Yingjue both had sad faces. After hearing the news that Li Jie had brilliantly defeated the enemy with only one sword, they no longer had any intention of having fun.
"Xingwu, how did Lin Pingzhi practice? Did he start practicing martial arts when he was still in his mother's womb? I heard that his martial arts is even higher than that of Wu Anhou. If there weren't so many people present, I would really Can’t believe it.”
The corner of Zhu Bang's mouth twitched slightly. It's better now. He didn't dare to come openly. The three previous censors were a lesson learned from the past. Secretly, other people's martial arts were so high. Even if they sent someone over, they would just deliver food. This guy is really a hedgehog. I want to punish him. There is nowhere to start.
"Oh, let's see later. I don't believe he can always be so lucky. It won't be too late to wait until he loses the Holy Family before taking action. I can afford to wait."
Sun Yingjue felt relieved when he saw that Zhu Bang had given up for the time being. He was really afraid that Zhu Bang would not turn around if his stubborn temper got worse. Zhu Bang would probably not suffer much trouble if he had two princes as his backers, so he could just do it.
Not necessarily anymore.
"Yes, we can afford to wait. Why should the duke's family be as familiar with this boy? If we stay for a few more years, you can see him."
The two of them made a plan and drove the dancer and the musician who had driven out before, and called them back to the private room. After a while, the room was filled with melodious sounds, laughter, and exclamations gradually intertwined.
Lin Mansion, Lin Zhennan has recently become obsessed with tea tasting. He sits at home and savors the taste when he has nothing to do. Ever since he met someone with ulterior motives like Wang Bao, he rarely goes out. Although he is usually careless, he is still not confused about important matters.
of.
"Master, Master! The imperial edict is here, the imperial edict is here. Someone just asked us to prepare the incense and candles and the table quickly."
Lin Zhennan stood up immediately after hearing this: "What! Is there an imperial edict? Hurry, hurry, call Madam over."
"Xiao Cui, hurry up and prepare the incense, candles, and table. If you have anything else left, ask for your safety. Someone just told him."
The Lin Mansion suddenly became noisy. Everyone was busy, fearing that they would lose etiquette. Mrs. Wang was notified and rushed to the main hall.
"Sir, how come there is an imperial edict suddenly coming, and Pingzhi hasn't come back yet."
Lin Zhennan was also confused and shook his head: "Madam, don't worry, it's probably not a disaster. You'll know what's going on later. Come on, come with me to the door to greet you."
When Mr. and Mrs. Lin came to the door, the street was already bustling with people. Officers and soldiers stood along both sides of the street to separate the flow of people. On weekdays, it was very rare to visit the door to announce the decree like this. Everyone was trying to be fresh.
The leader of the honor guard was Yu Huatian. The details of this mission were recorded one by one by the accompanying record officer. When Wynn saw the report, he was moved by his talent. After being noticed by this big boss, he would never be promoted in the future.
There was no obstacle, so Yuhuatian was very grateful to Li Jie. Originally, someone else had announced the decree this time, but he took the initiative to ask for it.
Yuhuatian walked to the door of Lin's mansion and said, "Mr. Lin, congratulations! You have given birth to a good son. The Holy Father has specially issued a decree to commend you."
Lin Zhennan was immediately elated when he heard Ming's intention. He pretended to be there and said: "Where, where, my son is far worse than usual, please come in quickly."
As soon as everyone entered the house, Yuhuatian had specially informed people of the news and precautions in advance, so as to avoid mistakes and give others an excuse to criticize Li Jie. Therefore, the house was in order at the moment, and no one could find any mistakes.
Seeing this, Yuhuatian took over the imperial edict from the officials behind him. Everyone in the Lin family bowed after seeing this: "Blessings be made."
Yuhuatian opened his mouth and said: "Honor, Holy Gong!" Then he opened the imperial edict and read it loudly.
"The Emperor, who was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, decreed, "Yi said: A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed. There is no one who does not accumulate good deeds on his own, but then fails to prosper. How can I not be stingy with praise? The father of Hanlin Lin Shenzhi, his nature is
righteousness, conduct
He is a good man and the guideline of the four directions. Shen is a son with outstanding talents and learning. He proposed to pacify the barbarians and offered the method of drying salt to drive away the barbarians and Di. It is appropriate to compile it with praise to show the latent virtues. I specially give it to you as a scholar. You are smart and not ignorant.
Shang Zhirong."
Since Li Jie entered the officialdom, Lin Zhennan has been very familiar with each official rank. From the sixth-grade Scholar Linlang, although he is a casual rank and does not have a real job, he does not need a real job. After he has an official status, he will really be Master Lin. The decree has been announced.
said loudly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
After announcing the decree, Yuhuatian stopped for a while and then returned to the palace. As his status gradually improved in the future, he would need to reduce his contact with Li Jie, but he still appreciated it in his heart.
Only when Li Jie returned home did he find out that Lin Zhennan had been commended by the emperor, and he was very happy in his heart. Mr. Lin has an official status, and others will have to think carefully if they want to do something in the future.
