Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun, and Liu Xi rushed to the state guesthouse.
Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun had been waiting for a long time.
Inside the state guesthouse, there was already a huge crowd. Many people had gathered.
"Godfather, the Empress Dowager is safe and sound. The Emperor has personally come to greet her!”
Tian Ergeng came up to them and led the three of them inside while saying quickly,""In addition, Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Yu of the West Hall, the Iron Gut Divine Marquis, and the three secret agents of Heaven, Earth, and Xuan have all arrived.”
Wei Zhongxian and the other two walked quickly with gloomy expressions. None of them spoke.
The Empress Dowager had suffered a great calamity, and now that she had survived, even the Emperor had come personally. The ministers of the court naturally had to come to express their loyalty. Even if they could not see the Empress Dowager, it was good to show their faces.
This was the law of officialdom, and they did not find it strange at all.
However, as they walked, they quickened their pace, and a bad premonition gradually emerged in their hearts. As the supervisor of the East Military Hall, they should be the ones who received the news the fastest, but in reality, they were the last to arrive!
This could only mean one thing!
Before killing the Yun Nation's envoy and rescuing the empress dowager, that little flag called Ling Chen had already sent people to inform the palace and the various yamens, but he had ignored the East Chamber!
This person clearly had a plan!
They came with ill intentions!
With this thought in mind, the few of them had already arrived at the inner courtyard.
Before he entered, he heard Princess Yun Luo's voice.
"Royal brother, you don't know, but Ling Chen is very powerful!”
Princess Yun Luo was clearly very excited, and she praised Ling Chen,"He had just received the decree and brought us all the way here. In a short period of time, he controlled the entire situation. He cut off Wu Wan, captured Li Xiu, and saved Mother. He did it in one go and was extremely easy.”
The empress dowager's voice rang out,""That's right, Ling Xiaoqi's style of doing things is really swift and decisive. The Embroidered Uniform Guards under him are also the most imposing and courageous I have ever seen!”
"Good, good, good!"
The Emperor praised repeatedly, looking very happy.""In the capital, as long as there is a slight movement, you will be the first to know. This is the style of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!”
Hearing this, Princess Yun Luo immediately said coquettishly,""In that case, Imperial Brother, aren't you being a little too stingy by only giving me a thousand households?”
When Wei Zhongxian and the others outside the courtyard heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
That kid surnamed Ling had actually become a Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards?!
The three eunuchs exchanged a glance with each other, their eyes gleaming with killing intent.
In the next moment, the expressions of the three of them instantly turned into happiness, joy, panic, and other mixed expressions. Then, they quickly rushed into the inner courtyard."Thank God, the Empress Dowager's phoenix body is fine. Otherwise, this old servant would really be worried to death…"
As they swarmed in, almost all the higher-ups of the Ming Dynasty gathered in the courtyard.
Ling Chen, who was holding the Embroidered Spring Blade and standing straight in the courtyard, saw this, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Lord Tian, you came at the right time."
When the Emperor saw Wei Zhongxian and the others, his gaze fell directly on Tian Ergeng.""Ling Xiaoqi has made a great contribution. I have already conferred him the title of Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. You are the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, so you should arrange a position for him!”
Tian Ergeng's footsteps trembled as he subconsciously glanced at Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun, and Liu Xi went straight to the Empress Dowager's side and asked about her well-being. Their faces were full of flattery and concern, and they ignored him.
However, he understood.
"Uh…"
Tian Ergeng looked at Ling Chen and said,"Since the Emperor has given the order, this subject will naturally carry out the order. However, right now, the fourteen thousand households of the Jinyiwei's Nanbei Garrison have people in each of them, and there are no vacancies!”
"Oh?"
The Emperor was a little surprised and frowned slightly. Princess Yun Luo was already furious.
"Lord Tian, does the Embroidered Uniform Guards '14 thousand-household offices really already have thousand-households?”
She pointed at Tian Ergeng and scolded,""Are you afraid that Ling Chen will steal the limelight from trash like you?!”
"This lowly official has great courage, but I wouldn't dare to deceive the emperor and princess!”
Tian Ergeng cried out in injustice, his expression extremely terrified.
Seeing that Yun Luo still had an unfriendly expression, he hurriedly looked outside the courtyard.""Hearing that the Empress Dowager is fine, the entire Brocade Guard has come to greet her. The fourteen Thousand Households have also come. If Princess does not believe me, call them in and you will know!”
As he said that, he actually called Lu Wenzhao and the other thousand households in.
The fourteen Thousand Households stood in a row in the courtyard. They were all dressed in silver-white flying fish robes and embroidered spring sabers. From the outside, they indeed had an extraordinary bearing and had the demeanor of a capable minister.
Yun Luo looked at each of them carefully and finally pouted gloomily.
She turned to look at Ling Chen, her eyes filled with guilt,"Expert, it seems like you can only be an empty thousand household for a period of time…"
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Chen slowly walked out.
Princess, don't worry."
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this princess, whom he had only met once, would help him so much.
However, it was clear that she did not understand Ling Chen's style of doing things.
Ling Chen had never intended to let the Emperor reward him!
What he needed to do was to let the Emperor see his power with his own eyes and realize that if he wanted to break the shackles of the East and West Chambers, the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa, and the cabinet, he needed to give him enough power!
The more arrogant he became, the more arrogant he became!
The more the Emperor would realize this!
So at this moment, in front of countless pairs of eyes, Ling Chen suddenly raised his right hand, and then fiercely waved it down-the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out, and more than 100 vicious Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly rushed in, surrounding everyone except the Emperor and Empress Dowager.
More than a hundred Embroidered Spring Sabers were unsheathed.
He pointed his sharp eyes at the fourteen thousand households, including Lu Wenzhao!
"Thousand Households Liu, you have committed a crime!"
Pei Lun shouted, and Tian Boguang moved like a flash of light, his blade as fast as lightning, instantly killing a Thousand Households beside Lu Wenzhao. It was the Thousand Households Liu who had spoken rudely to Ling Chen in the South Town's Provincial Magistrate's Office.
One cut to the throat!
Before anyone could react, Ling Chen was already smiling as he looked at Tian Ergeng,"Lord Tian, is there a real vacancy in the Northern Garrison now?”
Tian Ergeng was stunned.
Xu Xianchun, who was beside him, was stunned.
Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun, and Liu Xi were also stunned.
Zhu Bujue, Yan Song, Wang Zhi, Yu Huatian, and everyone else in the courtyard were stunned.
Killing in front of the Emperor?
And the one he killed was a thousand men from the Brocade Guard?
What kind of courage was this!
