The carriage raced along the winding official road, its wheels rolling up billows of dust. Lin Yi sat inside, feeling a mix of emotions, both anxious about the future and curious about the unknown world. "Sir, you seem somewhat worried," the messenger said softly, noticing Lin Yi's furrowed brow. Lin Yi let out a sigh. "Sir, I am just a humble warrior. Suddenly being summoned to meet the royal carriage naturally makes me a bit nervous."
messenger gave a slight smile, "Lord An, you are too modest. You have achieved great success in the borderlands, and Your Highness has praised you highly. This summons must be for an important assignment."
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, knowing that these were just words of comfort. In history, An Lushan may have held great power for a time, but ultimately met a tragic end. He had to be cautious in order to avoid the same fate.
After a full day of travel by carriage, they finally arrived in the capital. Lin Yi was taken directly to a side hall of the imperial palace by the messenger. There, he met Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji.
"An Lushan, do you know why I summoned you to the capital?" The voice of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was deep and commanding.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat and he quickly knelt down to pay his respects, "I am ignorant and do not know Your Majesty's intentions."
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang gently stroked his beard, "I am aware of your actions in the borderlands. Your unwavering loyalty has earned great achievements for the court. However, in these turbulent times, I need your wisdom and bravery to share my burdens."
Lin Yi was moved, he knew this was an opportunity to showcase his abilities. He raised his head and said firmly, "I am willing to serve Your Highness, to go through fire and water, without hesitation!"
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang nodded in satisfaction, "Good! I will appoint you as the military governor of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, granting you full authority over military and political affairs in these three regions. You must guard the borderlands well and protect the territory of the great Tang!"
Lin Yi was delighted, this was even better than he had expected. He quickly kowtowed and expressed his gratitude, "I will not fail Your Majesty's expectations!"
However, Lin Yi also understands that behind this power lies a heavy responsibility. He must carefully deal with various challenges and opportunities to ensure his own foothold in this chaotic world.
After leaving the palace, Lin Yi did not immediately return to Fanyang. He decided to take a walk in the capital first, to understand the customs of this era and the situation of the court.
In the bustling streets, Lin Yi saw all kinds of people. There were nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, as well as ragged common people. Their faces were filled with expectations and helplessness towards life. Lin Yi sighed in his heart, who can be self-sufficient in this chaotic world?
In a corner of the street market, Lin Yi encountered an elderly man. The man had white hair but a youthful appearance, and exuded an extraordinary aura. Seeing Lin Yi's remarkable demeanor, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Young man, with your extraordinary bearing, you are certainly no ordinary person. I wonder what aspirations you have?"
Lin Yi smiled faintly, "You flatter me, elderly man. I am just a humble warrior, hoping to serve the court faithfully and work for the well-being of the people."
The elderly man nodded, "It's rare for a young man like you to have such aspirations. In these troubled times, we need ambitious individuals like you to support and stabilize the country."
Lin Yi was moved and felt that the old man was not an ordinary person. He quickly asked for advice, "Elderly man, you have extraordinary knowledge. Could you please give me some guidance?"
After pondering for a moment, the old man slowly said, "In this chaotic world, many heroes rise. As a young man, you must maintain a clear mind and firm beliefs. Remember, power is a double-edged sword that can both make and destroy heroes. You must use power for the well-being of the people and be vigilant against its corruption, maintaining a clear conscience."
Lin Yi suddenly realized and deeply bowed to the old man, "Thank you, Elderly man, for your guidance! I will always remember it!"
With the guidance of the elder, Lin Yi has a clearer plan for his future. He knows that he must act carefully, use power wisely, and contribute to the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he must maintain a clear conscience and not be corrupted by power. Only in this way can he establish himself in this chaotic era and realize his own value.
