In the world of martial arts, even if you are a new grandmaster, people from the surrounding martial arts community will come to offer you a gift, let alone a great grandmaster.

"Alas~" Chen Ju sighed softly, but his deep eyes looked out the window, with a deep worry hidden in his eyes.

At this moment, perhaps the governor of the West Factory should be anxious, right?

The struggle for power between the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei is destined to be unstoppable.

Nowadays, there are masters in the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and the West Factory has fallen behind.

The struggle for rights.

…

harem,

Empress Dowager Li, who was lying on her side on the bed, put down the zhezi in her hand, looked at Yu Huatian who was standing in the hall, and sighed softly: "This child is quite beyond my expectation."

Yuhuatian stood in the palace with a calm expression, cupping his hands and saying, "I am incompetent."

"It's not your fault." Empress Dowager Li stood up slowly, shook her head and said, "Even I have made a mistake."

"Whether it is a blessing or a curse, who can say clearly."

"As long as he is loyal to the emperor."

A great master would not threaten the throne.

This throne has never been decided by a great master.

If that were true, the royal family would have been overthrown long ago.

She just lamented the amazing potential shown by this child.

What's more, even if Lin Mang is now a great master, the only one he can rely on is the emperor.

He offended too many people in that position, and when he went to Jiangnan, he offended all the courtiers. He had no choice.

Yuhuatian cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I will be in seclusion starting today."

Queen Mother Li glanced at him, waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

"Don't let me down."

…

In Prince Lu's Mansion,

Looking at the secret report that had just been sent, Zhu Wulan's eyes darkened slightly.

"It seems that I have underestimated this son."

"The arrogance has been established."

Great master!

People like this, given another twenty years, might be able to see through that supreme realm.

Hanadauchang drank a glass of wine and squinted the secret report. The wine in his mouth almost spurted out. He was surprised and said: "Grand Master?!"

"Under those circumstances, how could he still break through?"

The momentum that broke out earlier was thought to be Yuan Changqing, but now it seems that it was clearly Lin Mang who was making the breakthrough.

Hanadaochang put down the wine pot and said in a deep voice: "Master Marquis, I'm afraid that this son will do something bad."

"If we cannot recruit him into our ranks, if we face such an enemy in the future..."

He didn't say anything else.

A great master can face an army alone, which is a very uncertain factor.

Zhu Wulan narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table with his index finger, and remained silent.

After a long while, he muttered: "From today on, you should keep in touch with him more."

Hanadaochang said in astonishment: "Master Hou means...to recruit him?"

"But this person shouldn't choose us, right?"

Zhu Wulan chuckled and said calmly: "He has become a grand master and is in charge of the two major towns and cities in the north and south. How can my nephew really feel relieved?"

As an emperor, it is never possible to truly trust a minister.

If he is really that stupid, then he doesn't deserve to sit in that seat.

In the heart of the emperor, all he has is the throne.

Zhu Wuwu said calmly: "Just watch, I believe the emperor's reward will come soon."

Hanadaochang was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Why is this?"

Zhu Wuwu glanced at him, stood up and walked out, saying calmly: "Because he is the king and Lin Mang is the minister!"

Hanamichi looked confused.

Even though he prides himself on not being a fool, he still doesn't understand the relationship.

Zhu Wuwu's figure gradually faded away in the rain.

What is the meaning of the emperor's reward?

It was nothing more than a way to tell Lin Mang not to forget who gave him everything he had today.

He can only take what is given to him, but cannot reach out for anything else!

…

In Fusi Nei, Beizhen,

Just as Lin Mang was about to go to the imperial prison, Tang Qi came in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the father-in-law delivering the decree from the palace is here."

Lin Mang frowned slightly.

What does the eunuch mean when he comes to deliver the order at this time?

"Let's go and meet."

in the hall,

The eunuch who delivered the order first bowed to Lin Mang, then raised the imperial edict in his hand and said slowly: "I have been entrusted by heaven to carry the emperor, and the edict says: Lin Mang, the governor of Jinyiwei Town, has done a good job in protecting the capital this time. I am deeply gratified, and I am grateful for the past.

Because of your meritorious service, I know that I love you for your hard work and meritorious service, so now I have given you the imperial guards to command the general affairs and lead the governors in the north and south."

Lin Mang stretched out his hand to take it and said in a deep voice: "I accept the order!"

The eunuch who delivered the order smiled brightly and said, "Master Lin, congratulations on your promotion."

Everyone in the palace now knows that this person is the celebrity in front of His Majesty.

"Mr. Lin, your Majesty also has a few words of wisdom."

"Your Majesty, from today onwards, Mr. Lin can freely enter and exit the ninth floor of the Jinyiwei secret warehouse."

"Master Lin, this is the token."

With that said, the eunuch who delivered the order presented a token.

Lin Mang looked surprised and reached out to take the token.

Watching the eunuch who delivered the edict leave, Lin Mang remained silent holding the token in his hand.

"Congratulations on your promotion!"

Tang Qi cupped his hands with a smile on his face.

"Happy?" Lin Mang said with a half-smile, "Maybe."

It is indeed a joy to be promoted from the envoy of Zhenfu to the commander of Jinyiwei.

But to him, it is just a false title. He is not a commander.

He also led Jinwu's vanguard to command Tongzhi, but what could he do?

Jin Wuwei would not listen to him.

Whether he has this official position or not, both the northern and southern governors have to listen to him.

The emperor just did what an emperor should do.

Reward, win over, and... beat.

It's nothing more than telling himself that he can give himself everything and take away everything.

In fact, he hoped that he was overthinking it, but as the emperor in the palace, how could he really trust him?

As for love...

If there was true love, Zhang Juzheng's family would not have died so tragically.

Besides, they don’t have any affection at all!

But for now, the one in the palace won't do anything to me.

Because in the eyes of the man in the palace, he currently does not have the ability to threaten the imperial power.
To be continued...
