God-level impostor

Chapter 274 Substitution
"What did the imperial envoy say? My king's tent has always been set up there. If you find it difficult to go there, then I will set up a tent under your feet, and then move down the incense table. Do whatever you want." Lin Chen said seemingly tolerantly, always with a gentle smile when speaking.

There are no strict requirements on the location of receiving the imperial edict. According to the usual practice, the person who receives the edict will read it wherever he is.It’s just that if the incense table has been prepared, it is not suitable to move it, because the incense table represents the worship of the gods, and the gods witness the emperor issuing orders. If it is moved without authorization, it may offend the gods, which will be detrimental to the court and even affect the current emperor.

Of course, this is just a legend, but over time, it has become a practice.

As the right minister of the imperial court, Zhongqing naturally knew these taboos, but he didn't dare to really let Lin Chen move the incense case.

Knowing that Lin Chen was really embarrassing himself, he really had no choice but to grit his teeth and climb towards the hillside with the support of his own soldiers.

As a civil servant, after trekking for thousands of miles, his legs were not flexible. When Zhongqing climbed the hillside, he was already panting from exhaustion, and the part of his broken leg began to ache.

Standing in front of the incense table, Zhongqing was full of anger, calmed down a little, took the imperial decree from the entourage, and started the routine.

"Xiaoyao Wang Linchen accepts the order."

Now Lin Chen was unambiguous and knelt down in front of the incense table.

Zhongqing unfolded the imperial decree and read it word by word.

"...Xiaoyao Wang Lin Chen has repeatedly violated the laws of the court. He has done a lot of misconduct, cruelty and inhumanity. He dismissed Lin Chen as the chief instructor of the new army. After receiving the order, he will return to Beijing immediately to wait for the verdict."

Generally speaking, the wording of the imperial decree is so strict, even if the recipient of the decree is defined, the end will definitely not be much better.

If it is an ordinary person, if they receive such an imperial decree, even if they are not physically fit, their faces will change color and their hearts will be terrified.

But Lin Chen showed no such signs at all. He listened with a smile, and then said in a loud voice, "I accept the order, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

This situation somewhat disappointed Zhongqing, after all he wanted to see Lin Chen's embarrassment but did not see it.But he sneered in his heart, don't look at you looking calm now, if you really arrive in the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to cry.

Lin Chen accepted the imperial decree with a smile and placed it on the incense table.Turning around, he ordered, "Come here, remove this king's big tent. From today on, this king is no longer the chief instructor of the new army. Return to Beijing immediately to face the saint."

"Wait a minute, King Xiaoyao, when this imperial envoy came, the Holy Majesty specially instructed this imperial envoy to hear that you are here to smelt ore without the imperial court's permission. Please explain the situation and stop the smelting immediately."

Zhongqing saw that Lin Chen was about to leave, and hurriedly reached out to stop him.

"Zhongxiang, is there an imperial decree for this matter?" Lin Chen asked with a half-smile.

Zhongqing sneered and said, "This is an oral order from the Holy Majesty, there is no need to write it down in the imperial decree."

Lin Chen also said with a smile, "If others say it's an oral order from the Holy Majesty, I still believe it, but I don't believe what you Zhongqing said. Last time when you were in Longshui City, you passed on an oral order from the Holy Majesty, asking me to donate The new army has 500 million taels of silver, but when I inquired about it later, it turned out to be nothing, so how can I believe your words?"

Zhongqing was furious, and pointed at Lin Chen tremblingly, "King Xiaoyao, you are talking nonsense, why have you ever said such a thing?"

Lin Chen turned around and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Mu Fan and several guards said casually, "I heard it, it's true."

Zhongqing naturally knew what was going on in his heart, but he didn't expect Lin Chen to be so shameless and openly framed himself, but he couldn't tell the difference.

He tossed his sleeves and said, "Hmph, fakes can't be true. However, since you have been dismissed from the position of chief instructor, please dismantle the smelter immediately, and hand over all the smelted products to the imperial court without any mistakes."

Lin Chen laughed loudly and said, "Zhongqing, are you talking in your sleep? You don't even know what this factory does, so you tell me to stop it, and this factory was not built in the name of the chief instructor. It is the property of my Xiaoyaowang. As long as my throne has not been deposed, you can't dictate here. What you refine can be handed over to the court, and if you want, just take it away."

"I want to see what you are doing here. King Xiaoyao, you don't even dare to let this imperial envoy take a look!" Zhong Qing sneered.

"It's up to you, you can watch it if you want!" Lin Chen said indifferently.

"Let's go! The imperial envoy is really curious!"

With a cold light in Zhongqing's eyes, he walked down the mountain with the support of his followers.

Stumbling along the way, just as he reached the bottom of the mountain, he saw that the [-] new troops who were digging the mountain had already come down the mountain and surrounded them, kneeling in a dark mass.

One of the articulate generals knelt in front of him and said loudly, "Master Imperial Envoy, I was surprised when the [-] new troops heard that the Holy Majesty dismissed Chief Instructor Lin. For several months, the Chief Instructor has been dedicated to his duties, worked hard, set an example, and endured hardships." Nike, has worked hard for the great cause of military training, and paid its own money to supply the sergeants. What the chief instructor teaches is a world-class knowledge, and we and the new army have benefited a lot. Since the emperor has made an order, we naturally dare not resist the order, and only ask for imperial envoys Your Excellency sent the voice of our [-] new troops to the Heavenly Listening, and reported to the Holy Majesty that we cannot do without the chief instructor, and Dayan cannot do without the chief instructor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone was already holding the paper and passing it among the sergeants.

Every sergeant bit his finger and pressed bloody fingerprints on the paper. On the top of the paper was written "Petition for Instructor Lin Chen" in large characters, and there were a few lines of small characters below.

The paper was very long, and it took more than two hours for everyone to finish the bloody fingerprints.

The appearance of this scene was unexpected by Zhong Qing.But since it had already happened, he didn't dare to ignore it. He was really afraid that as an imperial envoy, he would not even bring the petition back to the emperor, which would annoy 5 soldiers. Just destroy all 3000 of them here.It was just a military anger caused by his Zhongqing's improper handling of things.

By that time, death will be in vain!
Zhongqing also secretly wondered. The news he had received before was that Lin Chen used the cheap labor force of the new army to mine ore by using the training of the new army. How could he make these 5 people willing to speak for him?
After receiving the petition, Zhongqing handed it to the entourage.

Then he said loudly to the [-] soldiers who were still kneeling on the ground, "Your petition, this imperial envoy must bring it to the Holy Majesty. Now, the Holy Majesty has re-appointed General Sun Geng as the chief instructor. I hope all the sergeants will train hard and serve the Holy Majesty in the future. Serve the imperial court and contribute to the country."

Only then did Sun Geng know that the emperor had arranged it in this way.

He hastily cupped his fists and said, "Zhong Xiang, the instructor Lin is teaching advanced tactics, formations, and martial arts, but the junior officer doesn't understand it, so he can't continue to teach it. I'm afraid it's difficult for him to do it."
