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

The night passed.

The sun came out, shining brightly, and the weather became sunny, just like everyone's mood.

At this time, Ye Laixiang ran back and said:"I heard that you won. Not only did you defeat the Daxia army, but you also captured hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops, as well as the cuckold prince Xia Qiong!"

Lin Beifan smiled and nodded:"Yes, we did win! The right time, right place, right people, how can we be invincible?"

"So have you met the Grandmaster of Daxia? It was the old man in black who was chasing me. He heard that Daxia was defeated on the way and ran back in a hurry!"Ye Laixiang asked worriedly.

Lin Beifan shook his head:"I'm not sure, I haven't met him anyway! But just in case, I plan to set off today to escort Prince Xia Qiong back to the capital!"

"You must be careful, the other party is a master and very powerful!" Tuberose exhorts

"It's okay, although we are being targeted by a grandmaster, we are not without backup plans! Lin Beifan smiled and said

"What backhand?"Tuberose asked

"Aren't you our back-up? Lin Beifan stood up with a smile, patted the stunned Tuberose on the shoulder, and said:"When the other party comes down, you come on top!"

Nocturne became anxious:"Hey, hey, hey, I can't stand it at all!""

"Even if you can’t stand it, you have to stand it! If you don’t support me, who else can? Such a happy decision!"Lin Beifan left with a smile.

"Damn it!"Ye Lai Xiang was so frightened that her face turned green!

At about noon, Lin Beifan escorted Xia Qiong and set off back to Beijing.

When they came, the soldiers were very fast and in a hurry, and they did not dare to waste a second.

When they went back, Lin Beifan didn't show any signs of it. Anxious, I slowly took a boat back and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

At this time, the news about the defeat of Daxia, the prince of Daxia and the capture of 600,000 Daxia soldiers gradually spread throughout the world.

The whole world was shocked!

"In less than 10 days, the war between the two countries has ended!"

"Dawu actually relied on only 300,000 people, and defeated Daxia's 800,000 army in less than 10 days!"

"Not only did they defeat Daxia, they also captured 600,000 of the opponent's soldiers. Even the prince of Daxia who led the troops in the war was captured!"

"It is said that Dawu's casualties were only 20,000 to 30,000!"

"The weak defeated the strong and won so beautifully! How is it done?"

"It's simply impossible!!!"

……

All the ambitious people were so frightened that they simply couldn’t believe it!

So I sent someone to inquire again and got a more detailed battle report.

There are several reasons why Dawu was able to win.

First, Lin Beifan became the army supervisor and set out from the capital to quickly support Hulao Pass. They arrived in three days and delivered 100,000 troops and a large amount of food, which strengthened the military strength of Hulao Pass.

Second, Daxia's army was somewhat unlucky.

These days, strong winds always blow outside Hulao Pass. Daxia's army fights against the wind, and its strength is weakened by several percent.

On the last day, it rained heavily, which was even more detrimental to the Daxia army.

Third, the former great thief Tuberose performed extremely well in the war between the two countries, shocking the world in one battle.

He actually killed all the innate masters in Daxia and burned all their food. In the final battle, he also lured away the grandmaster who was guarding the prince, shortening the strength gap between the two armies.

The record is brilliant and the achievements are outstanding.

Fourth, in the final battle, Lin Beifan made a decisive decision and sent a large army to intercept the Daxia army.

All these factors led to this glorious victory!

Although it was a fluke that Dawu won, a win was a win. His strength was not weakened much. On the contrary, his morale was greatly increased and his strength was greatly enhanced.

As a result, these ambitious people had to temporarily put away their claws and wait for the next opportunity.

Dawu's crisis has been temporarily resolved.

About 10 days later, Lin Beifan and others returned to the capital smoothly.

On that day, the common people who received the news all ran out of the city to welcome Lin Beifan's triumphant return.

"We won this battle, Lord Lin is back!"

"He galloped thousands of miles in three days, defeated Daxia in less than 10 days, captured 600,000 troops, and even captured the crown prince of Daxia. Master Lin is so awesome!"

"We, Dawu, haven’t won so beautifully for a long time!"

"I don't care about the war, I just know that we have good days again, haha!"

"Who says it’s not?"

……

Tuberose was very proud of being a hero again. She waved frequently and gained a group of fans.

Lin Beifan also waved, and at the same time, he did not forget to smile at Xia Qiong next to him:"His Royal Highness, welcome to the capital of Dawu as a guest again!"

Xia Qiong snorted coldly, looking very ugly.

The first time I came, I was a guest, and the second time I came, I was a prisoner. It’s amazing that I’m in a good mood!

The empress also came, bringing with her the civil and military officials of the court to greet the victorious army.

Lin Beifan came to the empress and said loudly:"Your Majesty, this time I have traveled thousands of miles to support Hulao Pass, defeated the Daxia troops, captured 600,000 Daxia soldiers, and the Daxia Crown Prince Xia Qiong, and returned victoriously. Please observe carefully."!"

The empress was very excited:"Ai Qing, you have done well, thank you for your hard work! And my fellow soldiers, you have also worked hard! You are all my good sons and daughters of Dawu, and I will never forget you! You first Go back and rest, I will definitely reward you heavily!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Everyone said in unison.

Lin Beifan followed the empress and others back to the palace, and then came the real rewards.

Lin Beifan wrote down the movements of the army, the results and losses, the merits and demerits of the generals, etc., in a memorial and submitted it to Empress.

Although the empress already knew, she was still very excited and happy.

You know, at the beginning, they did not know what kind of dangerous situation Dawu was facing. If they made the slightest mistake, they would completely collapse, and the country would be ruined and the family would be destroyed.

Lin Beifan was ordered to face the danger. In such a short time, I can't be too happy to achieve a comprehensive victory at such a small cost and alleviate the dangerous situation in Dawu.

"OK OK! The meritorious officials in this memorial will all be heavily rewarded!"The empress said excitedly:"In the battle of Hulao Pass, the fourth-grade sword-wielding guard Yumao Ye Laixiang killed 35 innate strong men in Daxia, burned all the food in Daxia, and also diverted the Grandmaster of Daxia away , laid a huge foundation for our victory, and the credit is huge!"

"Therefore, the imperial cat Ye Laixiang is designated as a third-grade sword-bearing guard and continues to serve in Detian Mansion! The reward is ten thousand taels of gold, a top-notch mansion, one hundred acres of fertile land, and 10 pieces each of silk and satin.……"

A series of rewards were won.

It can be said that he was given everything except power, which beat Tuberose until she fainted.

Although he doesn't care much about these things.

But receiving these rewards shows that the empress and the court recognize him very much. Isn't this a great honor?

Oh my God, I can show off in front of the people again!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Ye Laixiang said with great joy.

The empress smiled and said:"Ye Aiqing, no matter what your past is or what you have done before, from today on, you will be my Dawu person, and Dawu will always be your home!"

Tuberose nodded slightly, her nose was a little sour, and an emotion called a sense of belonging came to her heart.

Next, the empress rewarded one after another for their merits.

Even the lowest-level soldiers, every one of them A reward of 20 taels of silver was given.

You know, there were 300,000 troops sent out this time, and each of them was rewarded with 20 taels of silver. The total of these 300,000 people was 6 million taels, which can be said to be ten points of generosity.

Finally, it was Lin Beifan's turn.

"Daxia sent 800,000 soldiers and horses to invade our Dawu! The major vassal kings are ready to move, intending to bring trouble to the imperial court! Neighboring countries are also restless, trying to carve up our Dawu Mountains and Rivers, and the imperial court is in danger!"

At such a critical juncture, Ai Qing was ordered to face the danger, galloped thousands of miles to support Hulao Pass, defeated the Daxia soldiers and horses in a very short time, and captured 600,000 troops and the Daxia Prince!" The empress' face was filled with relief and appreciation. , said with a smile:"Ai Qing's move is tantamount to saving my Dawu, and the credit is huge! Therefore, he was promoted to the first rank and became a second-rank official of the imperial court. He continued to serve as the governor of Detian Mansion and concurrently served as the imperial wine minister!"

All the officials were shocked, and their hearts were filled with envy.

You must know that there is no prime minister in Dawu, and the highest official position is the minister of the various ministries. They are all first and second-rank officials.

Lin Beifan has now been promoted to the first rank and has become a second-rank official in the imperial court. He is already the highest official in the imperial court. He can sit on an equal footing with the ministers of various ministries, and his power has been greatly extended outwards.

However, considering Lin Beifan's tremendous achievements, all this is natural.

Therefore, all the officials in the court can only be envious and jealous.

The empress went on to say:"Give me the title of Lord Zhongyongbo!"

The officials were not calm again!

This is a title!

Since the founding of Dawu, only those who have made great achievements, especially military achievements, can obtain titles!

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, more people received titles!

But as the country stabilizes, fewer and fewer people can obtain titles!

So far, almost no one has gotten it!

The title is linked to military merit, and it is even more difficult for civil servants to obtain the title!

At present, among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only Lin Beifan holds a title!

Although the title has no real power, it is a huge honor and has a higher status than others!

When I see Lin Beifan from now on, I will raise my hands and call him"Uncle Zhongyong"!

Baiguan was very crazy and felt so much hatred in his heart!

You know, Lin Beifan is only in his early 20s, but he has already become a second-rank official in the imperial court and is in charge of Detian Mansion, the capital of the capital! Now he has another title, which is one level higher than that of other officials. He can be said to be the number one person in the court!

In just one year, this bastard has already taken advantage of him!

I couldn't deal with him before, isn't he even more arrogant and arrogant now?

Lin Beifan thought of promoting him to an official position.

But he never expected that the empress would confer a title on him.

Uncle Zhongyong, although he is only a small earl, he still has a title, and his status is a little higher than that of a hundred officials!

Now that he is a second-rank official and an earl, he has every opportunity to step on and shit on all the officials...

When he thought of that scene, Lin Beifan got a little excited!

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Lin Beifan said loudly, and then smiled proudly at Baiguan.

Baiguan looked very ugly.
