Victor Murong arranged for Lin Jinhan to come back ahead of schedule this time, not only to send Wei'er to get married, but also for the reason of wanting to transfer him back to the imperial capital. The Three Kingdoms Court Meeting would be held soon, and it was Jiang Kingdom's turn to attend the court meeting only once every nine years. If Lin Jinhan was reused in this matter, it would be a good opportunity for him to make achievements, which would be more useful than being sent away for ten years. Since he is Wei'er's brother, he should be promoted more.
Lin Jinhan's mind moved slightly, but when he thought of Wei'er's words, he gave up the idea: "Your Highness's kindness, I appreciate it, but Your Highness is highly regarded in the court, and my term of office has not yet expired. If I am transferred back to the imperial capital, I am afraid that someone will spread gossip. I don't care, but if it implicates my father and Your Highness, it will be a big sin."
Lin Jinhan shook his head regretfully. If Wei'er hadn't said those words today, he might have agreed. No matter how good the job outside is, it is not as good as being an official in Beijing, not to mention a small place like Tongzhou. He still has family in the imperial capital, but the Lin family is too popular and he might be plotted against if he is not careful. He dare not take the risk.
Victorg was surprised by Lin Jinhan's refusal, but he did not force it. He had many talented people under him, and although Lin Jinhan was talented, he was still a little immature.
"My uncle, you have thought very well. The imperial capital is full of uncertainties and we don't know what will happen tomorrow. My father-in-law is experienced and can withstand the storm. In the future, I will pay more attention to my father-in-law. It's getting late, so I will go back home first. When I have time, I will come to have a drink with my uncle." He stood up and said.
