God-level impostor

Chapter 287 Revenge
At this time, does the emperor have any other choice?He had to nod his head in agreement, compared to regaining the lost ground, repelling the Jin soldiers and horses, it's nothing to give up a little military power, not to mention that Lin Chen only needs a quota of [-] soldiers and horses at most.

However, the emperor still felt a little regretful. If he had known that the military power would be handed over to Lin Chen independently, he might as well have asked Lin Chen to pay the 1000 million taels of silver.Not to mention saving money, but also end up being generous.

When Lin Chen saw that the emperor had agreed to this matter, he said again, "The most important thing in marching and fighting is the morale and morale of the army. The minister was impeached this time, but he has not been able to prove his innocence. I am afraid that the soldiers will speculate secretly, or report injustice for the humble minister. Losing the trust of a sergeant is a minor matter, if the morale is low, I am afraid that it is not suitable for commanding a sergeant, so please ask the sage's assistant to restore his prestige and revive the morale of the army."

The emperor asked, "How to inspire the army?"

Lin Chen scanned the ministers who had impeached him, and said to the emperor, "The minister was wronged, and someone falsely accused him with their own motives. Please remove all those who impeached the minister and exile them. If you are hired, your descendants will not be allowed to be officials."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was shocked. The people who impeached Lin Chen accounted for almost half of the ministers in the palace. If they were all dismissed and exiled, it would cause turmoil in the whole court. Not to mention, who will fill these vacancies?Without these people, the court seemed to be half paralyzed.

This is the second thing. The nepotism of these courtiers is intricate, and there are not many people in the family who are officials in the court. If their descendants are not allowed to be officials, the punishment is too severe.

The emperor frowned slightly after hearing Lin Chen's words, unable to make a decision for a while.

The expressions of all the ministers involved changed in surprise, they exchanged glances with each other, and immediately came out and knelt down on the Golden Luan Hall.

"I am a censor, so I can hear about things, and what I say is for the sake of the court. Please don't listen to the words of treacherous sycophants." A censor argued.

"What King Xiaoyao did is true, but there are other reasons. This minister is not a false accusation. Your Majesty is clearly aware of it!"

The ministers found their own reasons and defended themselves to the emperor.

The emperor also felt that Lin Chen's proposal was too absurd. He looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground and said to Lin Chen, "Even if you ministers are at fault, you don't need to be punished like this. I plan to fine you three years. Let’s talk about it before and bring it up again.”

Lin Chen slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor, "Please ask the emperor to hire another wise man. The morale is low and the morale of the army is low. I can't lead the army to go out, and I can't guarantee that I can repel the Jin soldiers. Heads up."

The emperor said angrily, "King Xiaoyao, are you threatening me?"

The emperor was really angry, and his tone was very severe. He felt that he had already made a full compromise, but Lin Chen didn't stop there, and insisted on sticking to his own ideas.Not even giving him face.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen looked at the emperor for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare, but what I said is indeed the truth. The military is unjust. Please ask your Majesty to hire someone else!"

The emperor opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Prince Xuan Qingyun and Zhenbei Wang Xiang Wuchou secretly sweated for Lin Chen.In their thinking, it was already a complete victory for Lin Chen to get rid of the impeachment this time, but he should just let it go.The mastermind of his impeachment was Zhongqing, and now Zhongqing has been imprisoned in the dungeon, and the rest involved half of the courtiers, is it really true to kill them all?

It's just that now that Lin Chen and the emperor are just there, it's hard for anyone to talk.

Neither of them was sure of convincing the emperor, let alone Lin Chen.Moreover, the prince actually wanted these ministers to be expelled from the court. After all, he knew in his heart that these people wanted to follow Zhongqing to overthrow Lin Chen, thereby overthrowing himself, and then replacing the prince.

However, this group is too large. Even if you are a prince, you can't imagine removing them all at once. He just hopes that after he ascends the throne in the future, he will slowly liquidate them.

No one said anything about this matter, they all looked at the emperor secretly.Only the emperor can decide this matter.

The emperor and Lin Chen looked at each other for a moment, then turned to ask the prince, "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"

Seeing that the emperor didn't immediately deny it, the crown prince said with a heartbeat, "Father, my son thinks that the people are the most important thing, the territory is the most important thing, and the safety of Dayan is the most important thing."

The crown prince Xuan Qingyun just said a few simple words, but he expressed his opinion that he would rather give up those ministers.

"Subject!" King Zhenbei Xiang Wuchou stood up, responding to Xuan Qingyun and also to Lin Chen.

"Second minister!" Left Prime Minister Ji En didn't know what to think, but at this moment he was actually supporting the crown prince at this critical moment.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister also agrees!"

With these few people taking the lead, the rest of the previously neutral ministers also stood up to express their attitudes.

Soon, except for the minister who was kneeling on the ground, everyone agreed with the proposal of the crown prince and Lin Chen.

It's a big gamble, but the cost is minimal.Because Lin Chen and the prince proposed it, and Prime Minister Zuo and King Zhenbei stood in the way, even if the emperor disagreed, at most he would scold them a few words.

But once the emperor agrees, it will be a golden opportunity for them.Many of the ministers kneeling on the ground were in high positions. If they fell, it meant that someone would fill the vacancy.Even ministers with high official positions are now thinking about their relatives and friends, and they will all get promoted.

It is equivalent to clearing out a large vacancy in the officialdom, and they are the biggest beneficiaries.No matter who the emperor finally decides to use, it will be someone in their circle.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but secretly regret it.He originally wanted to ask the prince to help him persuade Lin Chen, but he didn't expect the prince to stand on Lin Chen's side, which aroused the support of the other half of the courtiers.

He is indeed riding a tiger now.

After careful consideration, the emperor said, "This matter is of great importance. I cannot cut off my arm before the Jin army retreats. Lin Aiqing, you go and retreat the enemy. If the enemy army can be retreated within three months, I will take action." As you say, those who make false accusations against you will be dealt with strictly."

Lin Chen smiled slightly. He finally won. From the perspective of others, there may be suspense in retiring the Jin army within three months. Many people even think that this is impossible.

But for Lin Chen, it was just a matter of one sentence.The Jin emperor's life was in his own hands, and this play was just arranged by him for Ji Gan to perform.

In his letter to Ji Gan, in addition to arranging the dispatch of troops, he also sternly warned Ji Gan to deter Zhong Tao with the overwhelming advantage of heavy troops, so that he would not dare to give birth to a desperate battle.Moreover, after occupying the city, they must not disturb the people, must not kill, and must not affect the normal life of the people.

After all, Lin Chen didn't want the people to suffer and the soldiers to die because of the game between him and Zhongqing.

Sure enough, Ji Gan did everything according to his instructions. Dayan did not fight Dajin, but fled without fighting.

Although he was not ashamed of Zhong Tao, he was happy to see that the army and people of Dayan could be saved from the disaster of war.

Therefore, Lin Chen naturally would not insist on the emperor's proposal. He generously agreed, "I dare not disobey the emperor's order. I have recorded the 130 six people who falsely accused my minister."
