With just a few words, he broke the rule that Emperor Zhaohe had not announced for several days to see his concubines.

This time, not even the queen could take such an advantage.

Lin Ruge smiled softly. It seemed that Concubine Yi was really not to be underestimated. The fact that she could produce such a daughter must be one of the reasons why she remained strong in the harem.

Rong Shu walked out of the inquiry hall as if there was no one around, and before leaving, she paused meaningfully beside Lin Ruge.

Lin Ruge gently folded his sleeves, still smiling indifferently, but without looking back, he allowed Rong Shu to walk quickly past him.

"Okay, let's leave it like that for today." Emperor Zhaohe stood up from his seat. He might have been a little dizzy from the sudden movement. Emperor Zhaohe supported the table and pressed his forehead. Wei Chi supported Emperor Zhaohe with a wink and motioned to the two of them.

The Prime Minister and Dr. Jianyi went first, then raised their hands and asked Lin Ruge to come over and follow.

Lin Ruge lowered her eyebrows and followed Emperor Zhaohe around, then walked into Shangmei Garden.

According to common sense, Shang Meiyuan was within the scope of the harem and courtiers were not allowed to enter. However, Emperor Zhaohe seemed very happy today, so he allowed Lin Ruge to follow him in.

"Mr. Ning's words about southern Xinjiang are true." Emperor Zhaohe stretched out his hand and broke off a branch of white plum. He sniffed it and threw it away casually in the snow. "It's just that he didn't know how to station troops and train troops, use the people as soldiers, and arrange troops for drills. What should we do?"

Who to send?"

Wei Chi supported Emperor Zhaohe and quietly stepped onto the broken plum blossoms.

Lin Ruge looked a little timid, raised his hands and said, "I think General Huaihua can take on this important task. General Huo is brave and resourceful. He has pacified the borders of Southern Xinjiang many times. He also has a certain deterrent effect in Southern Xinjiang."

.”

Emperor Zhaohe smiled and nodded, leaving the matter entirely to Lin Ruge to handle on his own.

"Let's go to Hanchang Palace." Emperor Zhaohe smiled at Wei Chi and issued an order to expel Lin Ruge.

Lin Ruge bowed to leave and watched Emperor Zhaohe walk away. He just pulled open the undershirt that was sticky with sweat on his body, and suddenly there was a very gentle sound of wind in his ears. Lin Ruge looked back and looked at the faint smile on the plum tree.

He shook the branches and smiled.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to hide."

The plum branches were just swaying, and no one showed up.

"I know you were sent by King Qi." Lin Ruge lowered his eyes, smiled, turned and left, "And I know your name is Zi Lian."

Someone seemed to be following behind him. Lin Ruge did not look back, but just quickened his pace. Finally, when he walked out of the crimson palace wall, he turned his head and blocked Zi Lian, who was unable to avoid him.

"Tell me why you follow me."

Zi Lian lowered his head a little at a loss. He didn't understand why he was discovered by Lin Ruge, who was very good at Qing Gong. Moreover, it seemed that he was discovered extremely easily.

The master only told him to follow this woman and report all her whereabouts to his master at any time, but he did not tell him to have a heart-to-heart talk with her. So Zi Lian decided to remain silent.

The cool breeze blew, and Lin Ruge stared at Zi Lian, who remained silent.

Half an hour...

The cool breeze blew, and Lin Ruge glared at Zi Lian, who turned his head aside.

A quarter of an hour...

The cool breeze blew, and Lin Ruge glared at Zi Lian. Zi Lian got lucky and was about to jump out of the palace wall.

Lin Ruge suddenly grabbed Zi Lian's sleeve.

Zi Lian was a little confused.

Lin Ruge smiled treacherously, "You don't have to tell me why you want to follow me, but would you like to teach me martial arts? King Qi must not have said that this is not possible..."

Zi Lian, "..."

So Lin Ruge smiled and pulled Zi Lian's sleeve back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. If you were to ask Lin Ruge what her biggest gain was today, she would definitely not say that Emperor Zhaohe adopted her opinion, but that,

He brought back a peerless master from southern Xinjiang.

Don't ask Lin Ruge how she knew about the existence of Zi Lian, because she won't tell you.

From then on, Lin Ruge's strange screams would be heard from the Prime Minister's Mansion every morning. According to insiders, Zi Lian's training methods were too cruel. Lin Ruge was required to perform extremely standard horse steps every day, and It usually took one stick of incense. So for several days in a row, when going to the Inquiry Hall, Lin Ruge was carried there by the servants of the Prime Minister's Office.

"How is the matter of stationing and training troops and using the people as soldiers?" In the inquiry hall, Emperor Zhaohe put down his brush and raised his hand to take a sip of tea.

"Go back to the emperor." Shen Jue cupped his hands and smiled. Ever since Lin Ruge entrusted this matter to him that day, his love for Lin Ruge had also increased. Especially when Emperor Zhaohe was in a good mood, he could not guarantee that he would not reward him with something. "General Huo has already gone to work after receiving the order. He has gathered tens of thousands of willing farmers in the Huya grassland on the border between our country and southern Xinjiang. Now, ten households are divided into groups and ten groups are divided into teams. They are registered and arranged. Parade.”

Seeing Emperor Zhaohe's good-looking expression, Shen Jue smiled and said, "It is reported that Nanjiang Xiaoxiao is much more at peace now."

"Yes. Mr. Ning's plan is good and has yielded results. But I don't know how long it will take for the mutual trade to happen?" Emperor Zhaohe put down the tea cup and asked Wei Chi to get some green leaf tea and give it to the three of them.

Lin Ruge thanked Emperor Zhaohe and was not in a hurry to drink. He put the tea cup in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the time for mutual trade has not come yet... However, I think it is a good time to invite the Holy Wizard of Southern Xinjiang. .”

"The holy witch lives in seclusion and has a very stubborn temper." Emperor Zhaohe answered, "Has Mr. Ning thought of any good ideas now?"

"Of course I already have an idea." Lin Ruge still smiled, took the tea cup and bowed to Emperor Zhaohe, "However, I also hope that the emperor can entrust this matter to me, and transfer another three hundred to me. Guardsmen, do you know if the emperor can trust his ministers?"

"That's natural." Emperor Zhaohe turned around and called Wei Chi, "Go get the tiger talisman and give it to the Prime Minister."

The tiger talisman was specially made by Emperor Zhaohe. It can be used to mobilize the imperial guards at will. The tiger talisman is divided into two halves. If you want to mobilize the imperial forest, you need to close the two halves to have this authority. The tiger talisman was originally in the hands of Rong Xuan, who was in charge of the military power. Zhaohe Why did the emperor hand over the Tiger Talisman to him so easily? Could it be that... there is a conspiracy in this?

Lin Ruge quickly changed a few thoughts, and when he raised his head again, his expression was clear, "I accept the order and thank the emperor for his kindness."

Chen Yuhe couldn't hold himself back again, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ning is young. I think it would be more appropriate to send a prince to accompany Mr. Ning."

"Oh?" Emperor Zhaohe smiled slightly and turned to look at Lin Ruge, "I forgot the age of the Prime Minister. Mr. Ning, how old are you this year?"

"Back to the emperor, I am twenty this year." Lin Ruge knew that Emperor Zhaohe wanted to embarrass Chen Yuhe, so he smiled at Chen Yuhe. Mr. Chen, please don't rush me. You can't see that the emperor is giving you little shoes to wear. What? Am I so happy now that I can’t see the Prime Minister?

"Oh, it's not big." Emperor Zhaohe muttered, "But it's still much bigger than King Yan."

Chen Yuhe looked ugly, but he did not dare to say anything else.
