I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

The empress was very happy when she heard this: "What you said is very true, so how do you take back the land in northern Hebei?"

Gao Tianyao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, we can first issue an imperial decree to take back the military power and jurisdiction of the North Hebei King, and at the same time invite the North Hebei King and his family to the capital to be an idle prince!"

"Now, our imperial court has won successive victories, and the power is shocking all directions! There is sufficient food and grass, and the morale of soldiers and horses is greatly boosted. There is no rival in the world! If the king of Jibei is smart enough and has a good sense of people, he will definitely obey the imperial court's orders!"

The empress asked worriedly: "What if the other party refuses?"

"If you don't obey, fight!" Li Kaiguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said loudly: "Among the three anti-kings, in terms of wealth, the king of northern Hebei lives in a bitter cold place, and the economy is depressed. He is not as good as the king of Jiangnan. Xiwang Qiang is on the front line!"

"In terms of military strength, the King of Jibei only has an army of 30, which is even more incomparable with the other two princes! He also made friends with some people from the Jianghu, but these people from the Jianghu are completely nothing to fear in front of the mighty army!"

"Our imperial court has defeated the King of Jiangnan, King Wuxi, and the Great Moon Army. What threat is there to the small King of Northern Hebei? As long as we lead an army of 50 million and equip some masters, we will surely defeat the King of Northern Hebei. Recover the land of Northern Hebei!"

"Okay, okay! Li Aiqing, what you said is good!" The Empress Longyan Dayue: "Everyone, what's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, first order to cut down the feudal clan, and if you don't obey, fight!"

"It's okay for the king of Jibei to be sensible. If he is not sensible, we will hit him in his lair and arrest him and confess his crime!"

"Our imperial court has strong soldiers and horses, and our morale is high. What are you afraid of him doing?"

……

All the court officials yelled.

It seems that the consecutive victories have already made them float!

To be honest, I have to float!

Daxia's 80 army is defeated!

The Jiangnan King's 50 army was also defeated!

Wuxi and Dayue's million-dollar coalition forces were also defeated!

Even after a series of battles, their strength has not been weakened at all. As a result, the more they fight, the stronger they become.

There is only one King of Northern Hebei left, so there is nothing to be afraid of!

The empress was very happy to hear that, in fact she also thought the same way, Dawu has been split for too long, it's time to take it back.

However, she was more cautious and asked, "Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said: "It is indeed time to take action against Jibei! However, the king of Jibei is self-willed and has worked so hard for his hegemony for many years. It is absolutely impossible for him to be captured without a fight. He will definitely resist the order and rise up! Therefore, we must be prepared to fight !"

The empress nodded and sighed: "Lin Aiqing, you are right, it seems that this battle will not be fought! If one thing does not bother the two masters, this matter will be left to Lin Aiqing!"

Just as Lin Beifan was about to accept the order, all civil and military officials were excited.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to leave this matter to Lord Lin!"

The empress was puzzled: "If you don't hand it over to Lin Aiqing, who will you hand it over to? Since the beginning of the year, Lin Aiqing has commanded three battles, each time winning more with less, and achieving brilliant victories at a small cost! His military talent, his His ability to march and fight has been fully proven, and no one in the whole country can match him! I am very relieved to let him do it!"

Li Kaiguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said anxiously: "Master Lin's military talents are indeed outstanding, and I am very relieved to entrust the command to him! But, it is just to deal with a small Hebei king now, and it is a bit overkill!"

"Yes, Master Lin is the military god of my dynasty, the pillar of our dynasty! How can a little King of Northern Jibei need Master Lin to take action? He thinks highly of the King of Northern Jibei!"

"Master Lin sits in the court, and he can be so powerful in the universe, it is frightening!"

"Also, Mr. Lin has been away from Beijing for too long, and many things have been left behind! In the capital, Mr. Lin is more needed to preside over the overall situation! Our court also needs Mr. Lin to offer advice!"

"Jibei King, just find someone else to deal with it!"

……

Hundreds of officials spoke one after another.

Lin Beifan could tell that this group of old bastards put high hats on him one after another, simply because they wanted to grab credit.Don't give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, lest he will be promoted higher and more powerful, and they will not be able to hold their heads up.

The Empress naturally saw it too, but what the officials said was not without reason.

The king of Jiangnan was wiped out, and the king of Wuxi was also wiped out. There was only one king of northern Hebei, which was completely useless.

It seemed unnecessary to send Lin Beifan out again.

The court needs Lin Beifan even more.

Compared with his military talent, his ability to serve as an official is even better.

She is very at ease as he sits in the capital.

"So dear dears, what do you think? Or, what candidates do you have?"

Seeing that the Empress listened to their suggestions, all the court officials were overjoyed.

It was Li Kaiguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War who spoke first: "Your Majesty, I have a candidate! He has noble morals, strong martial arts, and outstanding military skills! If he leads the army, he will definitely defeat the King of Northern Hebei and regain the land of Northern Hebei!"

The Empress' eyes lit up: "Who is it?"

Li Kaiguang smiled slightly: "This person's name is Zhao Kuo. He is the eldest son of the younger generation of the Zhao family in a military family. He has a long history of family education! He has been marching and fighting with his father since he was a child, and he is very capable! Moreover, he is good at martial arts, and he is an innately strong man." By!"

The Empress's eyes became brighter: "Show him up!"

Not long after, a young general in silver armor walked up with his head held high and his chest held high.

Without squinting, he cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "My minister Zhao Kuo, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

The empress said loudly: "Excuse me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Kuo stood up straight and bowed again: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuo, I have seen you all!"

The court officials smiled and nodded, this young man is sensible.

However, the empress frowned, because this person is really too young!

In his early 30s, although this age is not too young, he is considered very young among the generals.

Although the strength is good and the family background is good, but fighting is not a child's play!

Once lost, many people will die, and even affect the national structure!

It is fine to let him fight with the army, but if he leads an army directly, the Empress is very worried!

Therefore, the empress asked: "Just now Li Aiqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, recommended you to lead the army to fight against the King of Jibei! What achievements do you have, let me tell you about them?"

"This..." the young general Zhao Kuo was embarrassed.

Where does he have any achievements?

I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I usually train soldiers, and I have no chance to make meritorious deeds.

That's why there are frequent wars this year.

But every battle this year is very dangerous, and the country will be ruined at any time. His family values ​​him and will not let him participate in the war.

As a result, Lin Beifan made a move, and won three consecutive games, which shocked the world.

Not only was he promoted quickly, but he was also awarded a title.

Forget about his envy and jealousy.

Now there is only King Jibei left, the last chance.

The king of Jibei looked easy to clean up, and if he didn't clean up, he would have no chance.

That's why the power of the family was mobilized and the officials recommended him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no military achievements!" Zhao Kuo blushed slightly: "The main reason is that over the years, I have been studying the art of war, training soldiers, and have no chance to lead troops to fight! However, please Your Majesty Give me this opportunity, I will definitely go to the north of Jibei immediately, and bring the king of Hebei back for questioning!"

The empress said suspiciously: "You have never fought a battle, and you have no record on your body. Is it true? 453 I think it is more appropriate to send a seasoned and steady general!"

Seeing that the military exploits in his hands flew away, Zhao Kuo became anxious: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhongyong and Mr. Fu Yin had no achievements before they went to war! He is still able to lead the army as a civil servant, why can't I be a military officer?"

The empress sneered in her heart, can it be the same?

I have seen his military prowess with my own eyes!

That set of tactics is too advanced, too invincible, without leaving the capital, it will turn the land of Wuxi upside down!

Moreover, in addition to his amazing military talent, he also possesses the terrifying strength of a Grand Master!

Even if you don't use your military skills, you can just push them across!

Very stable!

How can you compare with him?

The empress was still undecided.

Zhao Kuo became more and more anxious, and winked at the civil and military officials next to him, hoping to say something nice for him.

"Your Majesty, everyone has their first time! Although Zhao Kuo is young and has no record, he has been nurtured since he was a child, and he is familiar with all kinds of military tactics. What he lacks is just a chance! If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can test it on the spot." Test him!"

"If Your Majesty is still not at ease, you can ask the Zhao family to send some seniors to assist Zhao Kuo! They are all veteran generals who have fought for many years, and they are absolutely foolproof!"

"Your Majesty, you should give the young man a chance!"

……

The empress finally let go: "Okay! I will give him a chance!"

Immediately, a few military questions were asked, and the other party answered them all fluently and comprehensively.

In this way, the empress finally felt relieved, and said: "It seems that you are indeed familiar with the art of war, and you are a talented person. I will give you this opportunity to lead the army in battle! However, you must have the seniors of the Zhao family come forward!" , follow the army all the way, and assist from the side!"

Zhao Kuo was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

That's it, that's it.

Zhao Kuo led the army to fight, regained the land of northern Hebei, captured the king of northern Hebei and brought him back for questioning, while Lin Beifan sat in the court.

Lin Beifan watched from beginning to end with a smile, without saying a word.

Chapter 328 Stealing Jun Lin's credit?This king wants to avenge Mr. Lin!

Therefore, the imperial court issued a decree to northern Hebei.

He ordered the King of Northern Hebei to hand over his military power and the jurisdiction of northern Hebei, and then brought his family to the capital to retire.

As soon as this decree came out, the world was shocked.

"The imperial court is going to clean up the King of Northern Hebei!"

"It's indeed time! Both Jiangnan King and Wuxi King have been dealt with, leaving only Jibei King! The imperial court has won consecutive victories, morale is high, and the army is strong. If you don't make a move at this time, when will you wait?"

"The king of Jibei is in trouble! If he accepts the edict, he will lose everything, and he can only be an idle prince! Otherwise, if he resists the order and does not obey it, he will be punished by the imperial court! Can the king of Jibei win the court?"

"Great Xia lost, Jiangnan King lost, Wuxi and Dayue's allied forces also lost, what can the King of Northern Hebei do? He doesn't have enough military strength, nor does he have enough financial resources. Could it be just relying on his people from the rivers and lakes?"

"I see Xuan, the king of Jibei is going to die!"

……

The land of northern Hebei, the palace.

The king of Jibei received the imperial edict, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial court is persecuting this king!"

Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser, smiled wryly: "Now that the imperial court has won successive victories and has taken back the land of Jiangnan and Wuxi, the morale is high and the troops are strong, so it is only natural to make such a decision!"

"Fortunately, we are not powerless to resist!"

Mr. Zhuge said excitedly: "Now, we have 30 troops, tens of thousands of post-acquired peak fighters, and three great masters to help us, we can definitely wrestle with the imperial court! My lord, if we don't fight now, when will we wait?"

The king of Jibei was also very excited: "Military teacher, you are right, it's time to raise troops! 30 troops, tens of thousands of Houtian peak fighters, and three great masters are enough to look down on the world. It's time to change the Dragon Court! Let's raise troops now !"

Therefore, the King of Northern Hebei tore up the imperial decree and issued a call to action.

The treacherous ministers are in power, deceiving the saints, killing the loyal, and the people are in dire straits!

It's not that I want to rebel, but that the imperial court is already filthy and harmful to the world, so it has to be cleaned up!

For the sake of Dawu, in order to restore the righteous way, and for the common people of Liming, as a relative of the Dawu Emperor, it is his duty to raise troops to the side of the Qing emperor, so as to restore the world to a bright future!

I hope that the heroes of the world will fight together!

In the proclamation, the King of Northern Hebei also listed various crimes committed by the officials of the court.

How vicious and how to write, so angry that the blood spurts, and the teeth are gnashed.

"These corrupt officials corrupted the law and harmed Zhongliang. They are too abominable. They should all be killed!"

"No wonder Dawu is in such a mess, it's because of these corrupt officials!"

"These people, if you don't kill them, it won't be enough for the people to be angry!"
