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

Sure enough, within less than a moment of burning incense, someone came over to tell Lin Beifan to go to the imperial study room.

When Lin Beifan arrived, other court officials had already arrived. His face was very solemn and he looked at the empress sitting in front of the desk with a solemn expression.

At this time, he didn't care about bowing and bowing, and stood obediently behind the officials.

The empress glanced at everyone and found that they were all here. She said with hidden anger:"We were rushing for 800 miles just now, and a mutiny broke out in Tangzhou! A few sharp-headed soldiers killed the generals and generals, and led 30,000 troops to join the attack. In the mountains and fields, fallen grassroots have turned into bandits, and they are currently facing a confrontation with the imperial troops. The situation is very serious!"

All the officials were suddenly in an uproar!

There has been a mutiny. The situation is indeed very serious!

"Your Majesty, what is the reason?"An old minister clasped his hands and said

"You can see for yourselves what the reason is!"

The empress threw down the eight hundred miles urgent document and asked all officials to circulate it. The local generals, generals, and generals had embezzled the soldiers' salaries for a long time, causing the soldiers to bleed and sweat, and they did not get the treatment they deserved. Even eating was a problem.

In addition, these generals either beat or scolded the soldiers under their command, and the two sides had long-standing grievances. The final trigger was that one of the generals openly molested the soldier's wife.

He had been under pressure for a long time The soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and provoked a mutiny!

Several powerful soldiers took the lead in becoming these generals, and then led other soldiers to rebel!

The empress stood up and gritted her teeth and said:"They are so brave, even the imperial military pay You dare to be greedy! He even insulted the soldiers and teased the soldiers' wives at will! Where does he look like a court official? It's fine now. There has been a mutiny and all the trouble has been thrown to me. It's really unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!"All the officials said in unison

"How do you want me to calm down? The empress said angrily:"The political situation in the court is unstable now. There are vassal kings from outside looking at the court, and there are also border countries that are ready to take action!" However, at this time, they actually caused trouble for me? If they weren't already dead, I really wanted to pull them out and kill them again!"

The officials remained silent.

At this time, the empress turned to look at the Minister of War and said angrily:"Li Kaiguang, what crime do you deserve?

Li Kaiguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was stunned and stood up quickly:"Your Majesty ,……"

The empress shouted loudly:"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you are in charge of military affairs across the country and are responsible for supervising the generals and military attachés in various places! However, you don't even know about the Tangzhou general's embezzlement of military pay and mistreatment of soldiers! Tell me, are you responsible? Do you have unshirkable responsibilities? Tell me, what crime do you deserve?"

The Minister of War felt extremely aggrieved!

He obviously didn't do this, but he was the one to take the blame!

Now he also wants to pull out those generals and kill them again!

He couldn't help but wonder, had he been too old recently and kept encountering such bizarre and unlucky things?

He was conducting an ordinary water training, but he encountered a group of martial arts masters and the training failed!

Now I have done nothing, but something unexpected happened!

"I know the crime!"Li Kaiguang, the Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake. The empress was right. Although he did not do this, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has an unshirkable responsibility!

"Remember your sins for now! The most important thing now is to solve the Tangzhou mutiny. We must cut through the mess quickly, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more detrimental it will be to our Dawu!"The empress said calmly.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"All the officials said in unison

"Now the question is, how to handle this matter and who will handle it?"

Every official expressed his or her own opinion, and the final consensus was that persuasion should be the main priority. If the persuasion fails, the only option is to suppress it with force. The mutiny must be resolved quickly and quickly.

"So who to send?"The empress asked again.

All the officials looked at each other. This matter is very difficult and not a good job. If it is not solved well, it may affect their career.

The Minister of Industry stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I promise to atone for my sins!"

He knows that at this time, even if he doesn't want to stand up, he still has to stand up!

"However, you have failed in so many things, I can’t trust you!"The empress said sarcastically.

Li Kaiguang's face was full of grievance.

The empress cast her eyes on Lin Beifan who was fishing behind the officials:"Lin Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you! Lin

Beifan was stunned:"Your Majesty, have you found the wrong person? Wei Chen can't do it!"

The empress smiled and said:"My dear, I did not find the wrong person!" The reason why I chose you is because you have always been quick-witted and can solve many thorny problems! And you are eloquent and articulate, so you are most suitable to be a negotiator! Come out with your sharp tongue and convince them to surrender!

Lin Beifan blinked:"Your Majesty, do you think too highly of me?""

"Not at all! The empress shook her head and said,"You went to Leiyun Temple before and brought an old monk who was a Buddhist master to your home!" Later, I met two masters, the Sword Immortal and the Sword Saint. It was you who talked with Lotus again and became their close friend! Look, you can even convince a grandmaster, but you can't convince a group of warriors?

Lin Beifan was a little panicked:"But what if I can't be convinced?" I don’t know how to fight!"

The empress sneered in her heart.

She pretended to me again!

The previous theory of agrarian revolution, the three tactics of guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and mine warfare, the mass line of encircling the city from the countryside, and other strategic methods and ideas, even I benefited a lot from listening to it!

Your level of military skills is worthy of being called a master of war!

If you can't even fight, no one in the world can!

"Lin Aiqing, please don’t refuse! I think that among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, you are the most suitable, there is absolutely no second choice! If this matter is solved successfully, I will definitely reward you heavily!"The empress promised loudly

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, this matter must be a wine sacrifice!"

"Jijiu is eloquent and resourceful, so it is most appropriate for him to be responsible for this matter!"

"As soon as the sacrificial wine is released, success is bound to happen immediately!"

……

All the officials spoke one after another and strongly recommended it!

Lin Beifan was shaking with anger. These old bastards were causing trouble again!

I'll look for an opportunity later and raid your home!

In desperation, Lin Beifan had no choice but to accept the order:"I obey the order!"

That night, after dinner, Lin Beifan set off immediately, working hard and driving all night.

Accompanying him were Mo Rushuang and officials sent by the court to protect Lin Beifan.

The little princess also followed secretly, saying that she wanted to protect Lin Beifan, but actually she just wanted to join in the fun.

After two nights and one day of traveling, we finally arrived in Tangzhou late at night on the second day.

Mr. Liu, the local magistrate, personally greeted Lin Beifan:"I've met Mr. Jijiu, and I've met Princess Yunying! I've already prepared a meal to welcome you all!""

"We’ll talk about the matter of getting married later. How is the situation now? Lin Beifan asked straight to the point.

Magistrate Liu smiled bitterly and said:"The situation is still very tense!" Currently, the two sides are facing off with the Panshan River as the boundary! As long as we cross the line, they will attack indiscriminately. Many officials in this government have been injured!"

"Also, there was a fight last night! Due to lack of food, the rebels went down the mountain to snatch food and grass from our troops! Fortunately, there were no serious casualties, otherwise it would have been really difficult for me!"

Lin Beifan nodded.

"I wonder how the court plans to resolve this matter?"Zhifu Liu asked cautiously

"The main thing is to persuade them to surrender. If that doesn't work, they can only send troops to suppress it! All problems must be solved within a week! Otherwise, this situation will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, and the consequences will be disastrous! Lin Beifan said.

Magistrate Liu nodded with a heavy face.

Then, Lin Beifan followed Magistrate Liu to the scene to take a look.

It was late at night, most of the rebels had gone to sleep, and the forest on the mountain looked dark, especially It was quiet.

However, a few pairs of cautious eyes could still be seen among the dark vegetation.

"Go back and rest first, and make plans tomorrow!"Lin Beifan turned around and went back.

At this time, Lin Beifan's arrival had already alarmed the rebels on the mountain.

A man ran up the mountain in a panic and woke up a sleeping person:"Boss, a new person has come down the mountain. The official should be someone sent by the imperial court!"

The man called the boss is a young man. He is tall and powerful, with strong limbs. One arm is as thick as someone else's thigh. His skin is darker. When he opens his eyes, his eyes are bright and very powerful. god

"Who is this man and what does he look like?"

"I can't recognize him, but he looks very young, less than 20 years old, with red lips and white teeth! However, the other party was wearing crimson official uniform and looked to be at least a fourth-grade official! It’s not easy to become a fourth-rank official at such a young age!"

He said, his tone full of envy.

"The fourth-rank official, who is less than 20 years old, seems to be Lin Beifan, the new top scholar who has already served as a wine worshipper!"The young man named Boss nodded thoughtfully.

"Lin Beifan, the new top scorer?"

"I heard that he is very talented in literature and is very favored and trusted by the Empress, so he has been upgraded to 4 levels in a row in the past few months! I also received all kinds of rewards, which I couldn’t even fit in at home!"

"But I heard that he is also a very corrupt official, and he has embezzled millions of taels within a few months of taking office!"

"Another dog officer, I really want to kill him!"

"No dog officer will die a good death!"

……

Everyone was very excited.

They hate corrupt officials the most!

If it hadn't been for those corrupt officials who stole their military salaries, they wouldn't be in this situation!

Now a bigger corrupt official has arrived, and they are so angry that they want to go under the knife!

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"Should he continue to confront the imperial court, or should he go to the back mountains and become a bandit? Take my suggestion and just rebel. With our ability, we won’t have to worry about not having food to eat wherever we go!"

"It's better to go and seek refuge with other princes! I heard that the King of Jiangnan has a lot of money and is currently recruiting troops. It seems that he is going to do something big. We can follow him and have a good time!"

"The King of Jibei is also good! I heard that he was courteous, kind to everyone, and a good prince!"

"Boss, you say it, and we all listen to you!"

……

Everyone looked eagerly at the young man in front of them, waiting for his decision.

This shows how great this young man’s prestige is.

The young man waved his hand:"Brothers, please be patient! We'll see what the court's attitude is tomorrow. Anyway, I'm a great guy and I will definitely make all the brothers suffer!"

Everyone nodded.
