This also triggered an episode. It turned out that Luo Tianbao had never worn a formal official uniform before, and many details were unclear. People around him basically knew nothing about it. In the end, Dong Yan was quick-thinking and handed Shi Yan directly.

Luo Tianbao came. Her family had been officials for generations, so she was very familiar with this style. With his help, Luo Tianbao was dressed neatly, and then he went to see the emperor for the second time.

This time the audience was held in the main hall of Shangqing Palace, but the scale was much smaller than last time. Apart from the emperor, Queen Zhang and a few other old acquaintances of Luo Tianbao, there were only the prime minister and a few people in charge of the government office.

.

When the emperor saw Luo Tianbao in official uniform, he repeatedly praised him: "He is indeed an extraordinary warrior and a majestic appearance."

Luo Tianbao was so embarrassed by the emperor's praise that he immediately kowtowed and thanked him. After that, the minister read out the imperial edict, and then Prime Minister Fang Yannian issued the relevant seal to Luo Tianbao. In this way, father and son became official officials of the imperial court.

appointed officials, and the rebel army officially became an official army recognized by the imperial court.

After the ceremony, Luo Tianbao could not help but salute and thank the emperor again. The emperor specially called Luo Tianbao to come closer and said: "Lin Aiqing, I originally wanted to keep you as an official in the court this time so that I can talk to you often, but Mr. Huo and the others said

Now that the war is tense, the frontline needs more people, so I have no choice but to trouble you and make another trip to contribute to the country."

Luo Tianbao couldn't help but be moved when he heard what the emperor said. Regardless of whether these words were sincere or just words to win over people, it was already commendable that the emperor could say this to a person with a rough background, so Luo Tianbao immediately replied

: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I... our father and son have received great favor from the Emperor and are highly valued by the imperial court. They should try their best to repay the favor and never let down His Majesty's expectations."

The emperor nodded and seemed quite satisfied, and then asked him to bring a few words to Lin Yunfei. The audience ended at this point. When Luo Tianbao left Shangqing Palace and returned to his residence, he thought everything would be fine, but he didn't expect that everyone would be there afterwards.

People came to the door one after another to congratulate him.

Although Luo Tianbao and his son were famous all over the world before, and most people in the court knew that it was only a matter of time for them to become officials, before they received the official appointment from the court, most people still put on airs and did not interact with him much, but now the decree has been issued.

, the Lin family father and son are already veritable court officials, especially Lin Yunfei, who was not only awarded the title of Marquis as soon as he came up, but also had an official title second only to the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers. If he makes some contributions in the future, his future will be limitless, so many people are now

He started to deliberately flatter me.

Luo Tianbao actually found it a bit funny in his heart. These people had kept a distance from his father and son before, but now they are trying to make friends with each other just after the imperial decree. This snobbery is a bit too much, but this is also human nature, not to mention the majority of people who come.

He was a respectable person, and Luo Tianbao didn't want to offend him, so he had no choice but to receive him warmly. As a result, he was busy all day long.

Interestingly, Shi Yan, who had the closest relationship with Luo Tianbao, came to congratulate him only the next day. As soon as they met, he joked with Luo Tianbao and gave him a standard military salute: "Shi Yan, the deputy general of the Huben Army, came to see Lin Shijun.

"

When Luo Tianbao saw this, he couldn't help but blush slightly. His current official title is Hezhou Governor, which is one level higher than Shi Yan, so the other party gave him the courtesy of a subordinate meeting a superior.

"Sister Yan, please stop making fun of me. My title of governor is due to my father. It is incomparable to the military rank you put together with your swords and guns. From now on, as long as there are no official people around, you can still act as you did in the past.

calls me."

"That's not okay. No matter how you got your official title, after all, it was granted by the emperor and recognized by the court. There is no water at all. No matter how familiar we are, we can't break the court's rules." At this point, Shi Yan glanced at him and followed him.

Zhixin and others immediately approached Luo Tianbao and whispered in his ear.

"Besides, most of my colleagues in the Huben Army know about us. Now that you have managed to get ahead, of course I have to show off in front of them."

Luo Tianbao couldn't help but secretly laugh when he heard this. Sometimes Shi Yan was mature and calm, but sometimes he was naughty like a child. This was also her charm. At that time, Luo Tianbao stopped caring and led everyone into the house.

.

After getting along for this period of time, Dong Yan and Shi Yan have become completely familiar with each other. They are like sisters. They talk about everything. At that time, Dong Yan took each other's hand and asked: "Sister Yan, what did you do yesterday?"

Not here? We have been waiting for you for a long time."

"I know there were a lot of people here yesterday, so I didn't plan to cause trouble. Besides, do we still care whether it's one day earlier or one day later?"

Dong Yan, Luo Tianbao and others were very moved when they heard this. They are busy dealing with the intrigues in the officialdom in Chengtian these days. Most of them are smiling on the surface but have no idea what they are thinking behind the scenes. Only Shi Yan is.

Really think about them.

After chatting for a while, Shi Yan seemed to remember something and pointed to Zhixin beside him: "I almost forgot about business. In fact, in addition to congratulating me this time, I also want to entrust this girl to you."

"Leave it to us?" Luo Tianbao couldn't help but look surprised when he heard this. Zhixin was the Zhonglang General of the Huben Army, so he couldn't compete with the rebel army.

"You still don't know that although the imperial court has recruited you, it is still not at ease after all. Therefore, it plans to send a group of military supervisors and instructors to you. It is nominally to help you train the army, but in fact it is to monitor you and prevent you from disobeying.

Dispatch, after I learned about this, I asked some acquaintances to help you, and finally arranged for Zhixin to be one of your tutors. This child I have watched since childhood, and I am a brother and sister. With her there to help you, I

Don’t worry, she can inform you of any movements of the people sent by the imperial court in time, but although this child is capable, she is still young after all, so you should take more care of her for my sake."

At this time, Zhixin quickly stood up and saluted Luo Tianbao and others: "Your Majesty, everyone, I hope you will give me more advice in the future."

After hearing this, Luo Tianbao and others understood what was going on. At that time, they were quite touched by Shi Yan's good intentions. Luo Tianbao immediately said: "Sister Yan, you are really affectionate and loyal to us. In this case, why don't you come too?"

Come back to Jizhou with us?"

Shi Yanwen shook his head: "Tianbao, I understand what you mean. In fact, I also want to spend more time with you and Yanzi, but we still need people on the front line and I can't get away for the time being. Besides, I might as well stay here."

Isn't it more useful to inquire about the court's trends for you? In fact, as long as we are destined, we will eventually have the opportunity to meet again."

Luo Tianbao knew that Shi Yan had deep feelings for the imperial court and the Hu Ben Army. Not only himself, but no one else could compare with him, so he didn't force it anymore. Everyone and Zhi Xin already knew each other, and now after Shi Yan's arrangement, they became even more sentimental.

They got close, and soon everyone was talking and laughing, and they became a family.

Shi Yan did not leave that day and stayed here to cook dinner with Luo Tianbao and others. Even though Shi Yan was born in the military, she was also pretty and her cooking skills were very good. Everyone ate what she cooked.
