"Eldest Princess, are you joking?" Asked Lin Feng while looking at Nian Ling Jiao with a bitter expression on his face. Nian Ling Jiao was always able to do unexpected things. Even though it was the second time they had met, Lin Feng was still scared.
"Yes, of course I'm not joking. I want you to be my younger brother." Said Nian Ling Jiao while smiling. At that moment, she didn't look playful or capricious, she just looked calm and serene.
Lin Feng shook his head. He didn't understand why Nian Ling Jiao wanted him to be her younger brother. Lin Feng didn't know how to react, but he didn't have any reason to refuse.
"You don't need to be confused and you don't need to blame yourself for what happened that night. I don't need you to take responsibility either. I'll tell you the truth, I will never fall in love with any man in my life. But I like you and I want you to be my younger brother. For the Zhen Wu Dynasty, there are many benefits. "
"I've already discussed this matter with Imperial Father, and he's agreed to it. I'll recognize you as my younger brother, which means that you're Imperial Father's adopted son. Imperial Father was originally prepared to make you my husband and the Emperor's son-in-law, but I'm very clear about my own conditions."
"I'm already very happy that you're my younger brother. You don't need to refuse, I won't harm you."
Explained Nian Ling Jiao in detail. At the same time, she didn't want Lin Feng to refuse her. She didn't want Lin Feng to refuse her. Lin Feng had no choice but to accept her and refuse her.
Said Lin Feng while shaking his head and sighing. He couldn't refuse Nian Ling Jiao's request. Lin Feng couldn't refuse Nian Ling Jiao's request. Even if he didn't look at the situation, he wouldn't refuse Nian Ling Jiao.
"Alright, smile naturally. Let's go to the main hall." Said Nian Ling when she saw Lin Feng's complicated facial expression. She couldn't help but giggle. The first time she had seen Lin Feng, she had the feeling that they were very close. Therefore, she had considered Lin Feng as her younger brother.
Lin Feng didn't say anything. He turned around and left the main hall, followed by Nian Ling Jiao.
After Lin Feng arrived in the main hall, he went back to his seat. Dongfang Yuqing was still on his right. Dongfang Yuqing frowned. He didn't know what the Great Ancestor wanted to do.
Considering Lin Feng's age and natural abilities, he could have become the emperor's son-in-law, but now he had become the Great Ancestor's adopted son.
Nian Lingjiao was wearing a phoenix dress and a pair of green boots. The boots had a pair of fair, long legs. She looked extremely mature but also playful and cute. This time, Nian Lingjiao sat on the chair beside the Great Ancestor and did not stand in front of His Highness.
"Dear ministers, do you have anything to say?" The Founding Emperor sat majestically on the dragon throne, looking at the officials below. His gaze fell on Dongfang Yuqing. After all, he was the head of the officials and the Prime Minister was in charge of all the affairs of the Zhen Wu Dynasty.
Even though Dongfang Yuqing was furious and wanted to kill Lin Feng, the Founding Emperor was looking at him. He didn't dare ignore the Founding Emperor. He took out a small booklet and read it aloud, "Your Excellency, the representatives of the Heavenly Dao Garden will arrive at the Zhen Wu Dynasty in a few days. Please send someone to receive them."
After Dongfang Yuqing finished reading the booklet calmly, he cupped his fists and said, "Great Ancestor, the Heavenly Dao Court has sent a representative for the court meeting next week, and this booklet was written by the abbot of the Heavenly Dao Court!"
The Founding Emperor stroked his beard and calmly listened to Dongfang Yuqing's report. He smiled and said, "Alright, ever since the previous Head of the Heavenly Dao Garden passed away, they haven't been able to choose a new Head of the Heavenly Dao Garden. The Head of the Heavenly Dao Garden has always been in charge of the Zhen Wu Dynasty's affairs. I'm very satisfied that the Head of the Heavenly Dao Garden was able to prepare so early."
"The important task of receiving the representatives of the Heavenly Dao Garden will be given to …" The Founding Emperor smiled and looked at Dongfang Yuqing. Dongfang Yuqing was waiting for the Founding Emperor's orders. Normally, he was in charge of these things, so it would be the same this time.
"Leave it to Lin Feng."
But when the Founding Emperor said that, Dongfang Yuqing's facial expression suddenly changed. The officials started whispering to each other and the entire court was in chaos.
"Leave it to me?" Lin Feng was astonished. He really wanted to see the representative of the Heavenly Dao Garden. After all, he was the Head of the Heavenly Dao Garden in the Eternal Kingdom, so he was qualified to see the representative. But the Founding Emperor had given him this task, which meant that the Founding Emperor was warning him that he knew everything about him.
Dongfang Yuqing couldn't see that, but Lin Feng could. The Founding Emperor was hinting that the Founding Emperor knew all his secrets, so he shouldn't be disloyal to the Zhen Wu Dynasty.
Lin Feng frowned. For the first time, he felt that being an official wasn't easy. The Founding Emperor wasn't that simple.
"Your Majesty, there's no reason for the Holy King to receive the representatives of the Heavenly Dao Garden." Dongfang Yuqing suppressed his anger and refuted the Grand Ancestor. He had to get to the bottom of this, or he wouldn't be satisfied.
The Great Ancestor could guess that Dongfang Yuqing didn't want to give up. He had already prepared an excuse, "Dongfang, you are in charge of the Morning Assembly, so let Lin Feng handle these trivial matters. If you want to see the representatives of the Tian Dao Garden, then Lin Feng will prepare the Morning Assembly. What do you think? "
"Alright, Your Majesty, I will prepare the court." Dongfang Yuqing knew that the Founding Emperor was trying to make a fool of himself, but he had no choice but to accept it. If Lin Feng got involved in the court, he wouldn't have any dignity as a Prime Minister.
Dongfang Yuqing had to give up on receiving the representatives of the Heavenly Dao Garden.
"Lin Feng, do you have something to report?" Asked the Founding Emperor to Lin Feng. He knew that a new official had to support some of his own people, so the Founding Emperor was giving Lin Feng an opportunity.
Now, he could finally see the officials of the Zhen Wu Dynasty fighting against each other. In the past, it was like a pool of stagnant water, but now, it was stirred up by Lin Feng.
Emperors didn't like it when one person controlled the entire Imperial Court. They liked it when there were two or more groups of people supporting each other. The Great Ancestor was supporting Lin Feng because he wanted to fight against Dongfang Yuqing. He didn't need to worry about anything anymore.
"Founding Emperor, I want to resign from the position of the Minister of Justice. Lu Zhan will continue to hold that position. After all, he's experienced and I'm not good at management. However, I'm already the Holy King, so if there's a mistake, I'll take responsibility."
"In addition, I also want to establish a Penal Army, which will only collect Saint Grade God Ancestors and Spirit Grade God Ancestors. After it is established, they will be responsible for the criminal law of the Zhenwu Dynasty. These are my two suggestions, I hope you can agree with them." Lin Feng clenched his fists and slightly lowered his head, but it was out of respect for the Founding Emperor, not the so-called imperial power.
The Founding Emperor stroked his beard and listened to Lin Feng's report quietly. He did not respond to the first suggestion, but when Lin Feng proposed to establish a Penal Army, he couldn't help but tremble. Lin Feng's suggestion was exactly the same as his.
Now, there were too many Saint Grade God Ancestors in the Zhen Wu Dynasty. It was very messy and difficult to manage. The Saint Grade God Ancestors were also appointed as Level Two or Level Three officials. However, if there were too many of them, it would be difficult for the Minister of War to manage.
If Lin Feng established a Penal Army, most of the Saint Grade God Ancestors would be settled, and it would be easier to manage. Once these scattered experts gathered together, they would be a sharp knife that could be fatal.
"Okay, I agree." The Founding Emperor nodded without hesitation. He was happy to see such a Penal Army.
"But since we're going to create a criminal army, we need to have a fighting army. Lin Feng, you can create a criminal army and Dongfang Yuqing, you can create a fighting army. As for the ranks, we'll create a level two and a level three army."
"In the two armies, the Saint Grade God Ancestors will be Level Two, and the Spirit Grade God Ancestors will be Level Three. At the same time, the two armies will be responsible for law and order and combat. The Penal Army will be responsible for law and order, and the Combat Army will be responsible for combat."
"That's it. The court is dismissed!"
The Founding Emperor said a few sentences in one breath, and the hidden content was extremely rich. It shocked the officials, and they began to murmur in their hearts.
Once the Penal Army and the Combat Army were established, they would be the two sharp knives of the Zhen Wu Dynasty. It was conceivable that they would be valued by the Founding Emperor. Being a Level Two official would be better than being a member of the Penal Army and the Combat Army!
Gradually, everyone began to feel that something was fishy. They were all ready to get a share of the loot, and put their assistants or servants into the two armies.
After the court, Lin Feng was asked to stay by Nian Lingjiao, and the other officials left the court on foot. Except for a few princes and nobles who were qualified to leave in carriages outside the hall, the rest of the officials had to walk out of the palace, and then take sedan chairs back to their mansions.
Dongfang Yuqing left the hall leisurely, and saw Lu Zhan, who was waiting for him in a hurry. Lu Zhan also saw Dongfang Yuqing, and had to greet the Prime Minister, but he was a little angry.
"Hehe, when a man achieves the Dao, even his pets and dogs rise to heaven. Lu Zhan, you are very good!" Dongfang Yuqing sneered and patted Lu Zhan's shoulder. Then he got in a carriage and left the palace leisurely.
Lu Zhan turned around and stared at the direction where the carriage left, and he was completely desperate. He used to be Dongfang Yuqing's man, but now Dongfang Yuqing treated him like a discarded shoe, and threw him further and further away.
"Dongfang Yuqing, wait and see. Sooner or later, you will be in big trouble!"
Creak! Lu Zhan clenched his fists and made a horrible sound, which showed his anger at the moment.
"Excuse me, why hasn't Dharmaraja come out yet?"
After waiting for such a long time, Lin Feng still hadn't come out. Lu Zhan was a little worried, so he asked the guard outside the hall.
"Oh, the Elder Princess asked Dharmaraja not to come out. You can keep waiting." Replied the guard with admiration, and then he went back to his post. Lu Zhan felt relieved when he heard the guard, but he was happy that Lin Feng was being put in an important position.
"Hmph, Dongfang Yuqing, sooner or later, you will collapse!"
