Lin Dong sighed in relief.
Once again, he was stunned.
He helped Empress Zhangsun put on her clothes, then walked out of the door and ordered the soldiers outside.
"Empress, the poison in your body is gone. He's safe and sound."
Li Shi Min hurried over and was very excited when he saw Empress Zhangsun who had recovered.
Li Shi Min excitedly held Lin Dong's hand: "Today's matter is all thanks to you.”
Today, Lin Dong had saved the Emperor's life and the Empress 'life. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the savior of the Great Tang.
Moreover, Li Shi Min had also learned about Lin Dong's investigation from Dai Zhou and Hua Mulan.
He was even more excited.
Li Shi Min looked at Lin Dong. His eyes were filled with the kindness of a father looking at his son.
He had always mistaken Lin Dong as his son.
Li Shi Min sighed in his heart.
"My son is actually so talented. None of my princes can compare to you. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince has already been appointed and your mother is a Turkic. The officials will not acknowledge you. Forget it, I'll let you live a lifetime of glory.”
As he thought of this, Li Shi Min pulled Lin Dong's hand and led him towards Taiji Palace.
When Lin Dong saw Li Shi Min's hurried manner, he did not know what he wanted to do.
At this moment, many officials were waiting in Taiji Palace.
Li Shi Min pulled Lin Dong's hand and led him to the main hall.
Without waiting for the officials and generals to react, he raised Lin Dong's hand and verbally announced the decree.
"Lieutenant Lin Dong, you have contributed greatly to the Great Tang's elimination of the bandits. I now confer Lin Dong the title of Marquis of Zhennan and grant him a thousand households. He was promoted to third-grade loyal general. In charge of the Martial Guard Camp, I respect this."
"Long live the Emperor!"”
Lin Dong had instantly become an important official of the Imperial Court, and he now had the qualifications to stand in the main hall.
Li Shi Min patted Lin Dong's shoulder in relief.
"General Lin, I hope that you can become a loyal general of the Great Tang and expand its territory. It was not impossible for him to become a king in the future.”
Li Shi Min accidentally let it slip.
In his heart, he really hoped that he could confer Lin Dong the title of king in the future.
When Zhangsun Wuji heard this, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
He had expended all his effort in an attempt to suppress Lin Dong.
He did not expect that he would still rise up in the end.
His Majesty actually wanted to confer him the title of King.
If one day, Lin Dong made even greater contributions, wouldn't he have to become the crown prince and inherit the throne?
What will happen to my Zhangsun Clan then?
Zhangsun Wuji was extremely displeased.
However, once Li Shi Min opened his mouth and conferred a title of nobility to Lin Dong, he could do nothing about it.
Moreover, Lin Dong's title was a genuine contribution.
He had solved the murder of the Huai An Princess and destroyed the plot of the four emissaries to assassinate His Majesty. This contribution was greater than the heavens.
Just as Zhangsun Wuji was feeling depressed in his heart, the officials and generals began to congratulate Lin Dong.
Cheng Yaojin was the first to step forward. He patted Lin Dong's shoulder and laughed loudly,"My brother is amazing, right?"
Li Shimin coughed, and Cheng Yaojin realized that this was a formal occasion, so he couldn't be too arrogant.
At this moment, Li Shimin brought the ministers to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
This time, they could finally find out what happened to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
At this moment,'Li Jiancheng' and 'Li Yuanji' were standing there like blocks of wood.
Li Shimin wanted to see what was going on.
However, Lin Dong stopped Li Shi Min from continuing forward.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. You are the Supreme One, so you shouldn't take the risk. Let the warriors in front of the hall go up first and check.”
Lin Dong was afraid that someone would plant explosives on 'Li Jiancheng' like in the movies.
He detonated the explosives while Li Shimin was investigating.
This was too risky.
After hearing Lin Dong's concerns, Li Shi Min nodded his head in relief: "It's always right to be careful."
The warriors in front of the hall were fully armed and wore three layers of armor. They went forward to investigate Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.
In the end, he found out the truth.
A warrior in front of the palace said loudly,"Your Majesty, this deposed Crown Prince and Li Yuanji are fake. They seem to be controlled by someone."”
Li Shimin exclaimed,"The two dummies are so lifelike." All the officials in the court, including me, have been deceived by them.”
Lin Dong told Li Shi Min,"This is a puppet technique. It was a type of Japanese ninjutsu. He could use the threads to control the puppets as if they were real people.”
After which, Lin Dong explained the meaning behind the Puppet Art to Li Shi Min.
Li Shi Min was dumbstruck." The Japanese have such a strange spell. It's truly a threat to the Great Tang."”
Lin Dong also revealed the plot of the Turkic Khagan to send spies into Chang 'an and collude with the other three emissaries to assassinate the King of Qin.
The surrounding officials felt as if they were listening to a fantasy.
