Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

No matter how you say it, Lin Yi is still Prince Rui of the Daxia Empire.

As a prince and a favored prince, he still has some privileges.

For example, now, Lin Yi was dressed in court uniform, climbed directly onto a tall horse, and was about to ride the war horse to the palace to attend the court meeting.

In a place like the capital where dignitaries gather, the only person who can ride a horse in the city, apart from the messengers who deliver battle reports, is Prince Rui, Lin Yi.

For other people, no matter what your status is, the most you can do is sit in a sedan chair or a carriage.

If you want to ride a horse in the city, you must first see how many heads you can chop off.

However, all this is not a problem for Lin Yi. This shows that Lin Yi plays an important role in the heart of Emperor Zhao Xu.

Even the old and steady Lao Fang didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Perhaps in Lao Fang's view, Lin Yi's desire to go to court was the biggest problem.

However, at this time, Lao Fang had some contradictions in his heart. On the one hand, he felt that Lin Yi's initiative to go to court was a kind of growth.

It was the blessing of his Lin family ancestors who made Lin Yi grow up overnight and know how to care about national affairs.

On the other hand, he was worried about whether Lin Yi would be bullied when he went to court for the first time.

As for whether Lin Yi would cause any trouble in the court, Lao Fang was not too worried about this.

In his opinion, there was nothing in Daxia that Prince Rui's Palace could not solve.

Lin Yi slowly walked towards the palace under the watch of the housekeeper Lao Fang. Beside him were Lao Fang's two biological sons, Fang Zhong and Fang Xiao.

When Lin Yi wandered outside the palace, a large number of courtiers had gathered here.

They stood together in twos and threes, complimenting each other.

When they saw Lin Yi, all of them opened their eyes wide, wondering why this man suddenly came to court.

However, those important officials of the imperial court were not interested in greeting Lin Yi.

On the one hand, it is because Daxia has regulations that courtiers are not allowed to have close contact with the prince. Although, this rule has been followed by few people since the establishment of Daxia.

But the courtiers used this provision as an excuse, and no one could say anything.

The second aspect is mainly because Lin Yi is just an idle prince with no real power.

How could those courtiers who were so evil-minded try to curry favor with Lin Yi?

As for Lin Yi, he was also happy that no one would disturb him. He is still thinking about how he is going to ask for someone from his cheap uncle Zhao Xu.

However, before Lin Yi could think of a suitable excuse, the palace door was pushed open from inside.

When the courtiers saw the palace door being opened, they also knew that the time was up, so they arranged their court clothes and walked into the palace.

Lin Yi was not in a hurry and walked slowly at the back of the team. After all, going to court was not important to him and was just a formality.

When Lin Yi walked into the palace, his attention was attracted by the exquisite buildings around him. After all, Daxia is also an empire with a long history, and its splendid civilization can be said to be the best among all countries today.

However, in the past few decades, Daxia has been overtaken by the Western countries, but even so, in terms of civilization heritage, the Western countries can only be said to be younger brothers.

Lin Yi just walked and looked around, forming a sharp contrast with the ministers in front of him.

By the time Lin Yi walked into the main hall, other ministers had already stood at their seats, and even Emperor Zhao Xu was sitting on his throne.

When Lin Yi saw this scene, he didn't know that the morning had already begun.

Lin Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed and was about to sneak into the hall and find a place to squat until the end of the morning session.

However, his bright princely clothes betrayed him deeply.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he was spotted by Zhao Xu from above.

Zhao Xu raised his hand and interrupted a minister who was playing duel, and then looked at Lin Yi with a smile on his face.

"Yi'er, why did you come to the morning court today? I remember that you are the one who hates getting up early the most." Zhao Xu looked at Lin Yi with a smile.

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, Lin Yi suddenly felt that all the ministers present were looking at him.

The feeling of being stared at made Lin Yi somewhat uncomfortable.

"Back to the Emperor, my lord..." Lin Yi could only bite the bullet and salute Zhao Xu.

However, before he finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Zhao Xu.

"Wait a minute, what did you call me just now?" Zhao Xu looked angry and glared at Lin Yi.

"Forehead..."

"uncle?"

Lin Yi was a little speechless. He didn't understand why his uncle liked to call him uncle, regardless of the occasion.

On Zhao Xu's side, when he heard Lin Yi calling him uncle, he smiled happily.

Then, Zhao Xu glared at Wang Jinzhong, the eunuch chief next to him.

"You dull thing, why don't you quickly bring a chair and place it next to the prince?" Zhao Xu said angrily.

"My slave, I obey." Wang Jinzhong responded quickly and ran to bring Lin Yi an imperial chair.

"Yi'er, come, come and sit." Zhao Xu pointed to the seat next to Prince Zhao He and motioned for Lin Yi to hurry over.

Seeing this, Lin Yi could only bite the bullet and sat down under the gazes of the ministers.

The courtiers seemed to have become accustomed to Zhao Xu's preference for Lin Yi. In their view, what Zhao Xu was doing now was not the most excessive.

The most outrageous thing was that two years ago, when Lin Yi had just turned sixteen, Zhao Xu insisted on making Lin Yirui Prince despite everyone's opposition.

At that time, the ministers objected one after another, but Zhao Xu ignored them at all.

There were even more than [-] ministers who threatened Zhao Xu with resignation, hoping that Zhao Xu could withdraw his holy will.

But as for Zhao Xu, he did take it back, but what he took back were the official hats of those twenty ministers.

In Zhao Xu's words, he is the emperor. Does it mean that when he is granted the title of prince, he still has to look at the ministers' faces?

Under Zhao Xu's strong pressure, after three months, Lin Yi, Prince Rui, was finally able to secure his seat.

For this reason, the ministers of the imperial court paid more than fifty people, resigned and returned home, or were dismissed from office.

The entire Daxia Empire fell into a period of chaos that lasted for half a year.

From this we can see how much the emperor's love for Lin Yi reached.

In fact, Lin Yi himself didn't know why Zhao Xu supported him so much and made him the only prince with a different surname in the Great Xia Empire for more than [-] years.

Although Lin Yi knew that his biological mother was a princess before, according to the court calendar, he could only get a marquis at most.

But now, he is indeed Prince Rui.

As soon as Lin Yi sat down, Prince Zhao He winked at Lin Yi and greeted Lin Yi.

Lin Yi felt that if he were not in the court now, he had no doubt that Zhao Xi would pounce directly on him.
