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

After King Wuxi was taken away, the court finally became quiet.

Two of the three rebel kings were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Empress Longyan was delighted and said with a smile:"King Jiangnan and King Wuxi have been captured in the heavenly prison. Their armies were either collected or destroyed. The land of Jiangnan and the The land of Wuxi has returned to Dawu, and now only King Jibei is left! My dear friends, do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty! Li Kaiguang, the Minister of War, said loudly:"Since the beginning of the new year, I, Dawu, have defeated the 800,000-strong army of Daxia, the 500,000-strong army of King Jiangnan, and the million-strong coalition of King Wuxi and Dayue!" Three consecutive battles and three complete victories have shocked the world and shocked the world. No one dares to disobey! So, now is the time to take back the land in northern Hebei!"

"Master Li is right, now is the time to take back Jibei!"

"Put an end to the fragmentation of Dawu!"

"We, Dawu, must rise from the ashes and realize ZTE!"

……

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

Gao Tianyao, the official minister, said in a deep voice:"Your Majesty, we can first issue an imperial edict to take back the military power of the king of northern Hebei and the land in northern Hebei." Jurisdiction over the north, and at the same time, he invited King Jibei and his family to the capital to become an idle prince!"

"Now, my court has won consecutive victories and is shocking everywhere! There is enough food and grass, the morale of the soldiers and horses is strong, and there is no rival in the world! If the King of Northern Hebei is smart enough and sensible, he will definitely obey the orders of the court!

The empress asked worriedly:"What if the other party doesn't obey?""

"If you don't obey, you'll be beaten! Li Kaiguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, said loudly:"Among the three major rebel kings, in terms of wealth, the King of Northern Hebei lives in a bitter cold land and has a depressed economy. He is not as good as the King of Jiangnan, and he is only one step ahead of the King of Wuxi!""

"In terms of military strength, the King of Northern Hebei only had an army of 300,000, which was incomparable to the other two princes! He also made friends with some people in the world, but these people were nothing to fear in front of the mighty army!"

"Our court has defeated the King of Jiangnan, the King of Wuxi, and the Dayue Army. What threat does the little King of Northern Hebei pose? As long as he leads an army of four to five million and is equipped with some masters, he will definitely be able to defeat the King of Northern Hebei and regain the land of Northern Hebei!"

"OK OK! Li Aiqing, you said it well! Empress Long Yan was delighted:"Dear ladies, what are your opinions?""

"Your Majesty, first issue an order to cut down the feudal vassal. If you don’t obey, you will be beaten!"

"The King of Northern Hebei is quite good at understanding things. If he is not sensible, we will go to his lair and capture him and confess his crime!"

"Our court has strong troops and high morale, why are we afraid of what he will do?"

……

All the officials in the imperial court howled and shouted.

It was as if consecutive victories had made them drifting!

To be honest, I have to drift!

Daxia’s 800,000-strong army was defeated!

The 500,000-strong army of King Jiangnan was also defeated!

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

After a series of battles, their Dawu strength was not weakened at all. As a result, they became stronger and stronger as they fought. Can they not lose control?

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

The empress was very happy to hear this. In fact, she had the same idea. Dawu had been divided for too long and it was time to take it back.

However, she acted more cautiously and asked:"Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Lin Beifan raised his hands and said:"It is indeed time to take action against Jibei! However, the King of Jibei is a headstrong man who has worked hard for his dominance for many years, so he was captured without mercy. It is absolutely impossible that we will definitely rebel against the order and raise troops! Therefore, we must be prepared for war!"

The empress nodded and sighed:"Lin Aiqing, you are right. It seems that this war will not be possible without fighting! Don't worry about one thing or two. Lord, leave this matter to Lin Aiqing!"

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

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

The empress was puzzled:"If you don't give it to Lin Aiqing, who should you give it to?" Since the beginning of the year, Lin Aiqing has commanded three battles. Each time, he defeated more with less and achieved a brilliant victory at a small cost! His military talent and his ability to march and fight have been fully proven. No one in the country can match him! I am very relieved that he will take action! Li Kaiguang , the Minister of War, said anxiously:"Master Lin's military talents are indeed outstanding. I am very relieved to hand over the command to him!" However, now we are just dealing with a small King of Northern Hebei, which is overkill!"

"Yes, Master Lin is the military god of our dynasty, the pillar of our dynasty! Why does a little King of Northern Hebei need Master Lin to take action? I look up to King Jibei so much!"

"Lord Lin, sitting in the court, can be so powerful that it makes people fearful!"

"Moreover, Mr. Lin has been away from Beijing for too long and has left behind many things! In the capital, Mr. Lin is even more needed to take charge of the overall situation! Our court also needs Master Lin’s advice!"

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

……

All the officials spoke one after another.

Lin Beifan finally figured it out. These old bastards were giving him high hats one after another, just to steal the credit. Don't give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, lest he be promoted higher and become more powerful, which would overwhelm them and make them unable to hold their heads high.

The empress naturally saw it, but Baiguan's words were not unreasonable.

The King of Jiangnan was destroyed, and the King of Wuxi was also destroyed, leaving only the King of Jibei, which was completely useless.

It seemed unnecessary to send Lin Beifan to take action again.

The court needs Lin Beifan even more.

Compared with his military talents, his ability to serve as an official is even more outstanding.

He was in charge of the capital, and she felt very at ease.

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

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

It was Li Kaiguang, the Minister of War, who spoke first:"Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister! He has noble virtues, strong martial arts, and outstanding military talents! 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 man's name is Zhao Kuo. He is the eldest son of the younger generation of the Zhao family, a military family. He has a rich family background!" He has been marching and fighting with his father since he was a child, and his ability is outstanding! Moreover, he has good martial arts skills and is an innate strong man!

The empress' eyes brightened even more:"Xuan him come up!""

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

Without looking away, he cupped his hands and said loudly:"My humble minister Zhao Kuo, pay homage to your majesty, long live my emperor!

The empress said loudly:"No courtesy!""

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"Zhao Kuo stood up straight and bowed again:"I am a lowly official, Zhao Kuo, I have met all of you!"

All the officials in the court smiled and nodded. This young man is sensible.

However, the empress frowned because this person is too young! Although he is in his early 30s, although he is not young, among the generals, he is considered young. He is very young.

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

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

It is okay to let him fight with the army, but if he directly leads an army, the empress will be very Don't worry!

So, the empress asked:"Just now, Li Aiqing, the Minister of War, recommended you to lead the army to fight against the King of Northern Hebei! Do you have any achievements? Can you tell me about them?"

"this……"Young general Zhao Kuo was embarrassed.

What achievements does he have?

After joining the army for more than ten years, I usually trained soldiers and had no chance to make achievements.

There have been frequent wars this year.

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

As a result, Lin Beifan took action and won three consecutive games, shocking the world.

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

Forget about his envy and jealousy.

Now only King Jibei is left, his last chance.

King Jibei seems to be easy to deal with. If he doesn't deal with it, he will have no chance.

That's why he mobilized the family's power and asked officials to recommend him

"Your Majesty, this humble minister has no record of success! Zhao Kuo's face turned a little red:"The main reason is that in these years, Wei Chen has been studying the art of war and training troops, and has no chance to lead troops to fight!" However, your majesty, please give me this opportunity. I will definitely set foot in Northern Hebei and bring the King of Northern Hebei back for questioning! The empress said doubtfully:"You have never fought in a war and have no record of success. Is this really okay?" I think it would be more appropriate to send a mature and steady general to take action!

Seeing his military exploits flying away, Zhao Kuo became anxious and said,"Your Majesty, Duke Zhongyong and Lord Fu Yin had no achievements before they sent out troops to fight!" He, a civil servant, can still lead troops to fight, why can't I, a military attaché?"

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 so advanced and invincible that it turned the land of Wuxi upside down without even leaving the capital!

Moreover, In addition to his amazing military talents, he also possesses the terrifying strength of a grand master!

Even without using his military talents, he can directly push past him!

It is very stable!

How can you compare with him?

The empress is still delayed Undecided.

Zhao Kuo became more and more anxious and winked at the civil and military officials next to him, hoping to say a few good words.

"Your Majesty, everyone has a first time! Although Zhao Kuo is young and has no record of success, he has been trained since he was a child and is familiar with various military techniques. All he lacks is an opportunity! If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can test him on the spot!"

"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 been fighting for many years, so they are absolutely foolproof!"

"Your Majesty, young people should be given a chance!"

……

The empress finally relented:"Okay! I'll give him a chance!" She immediately asked a few military questions, and the other party answered them all fluently and comprehensively.

In this way, the empress finally relaxed a little and said:"It seems that you are indeed familiar with the art of war and you are a talent that can be made. I will give you this opportunity to lead the army in battle! However, you must have an old senior from the Zhao family to take action. , accompany the army all the way and assist from the side!"

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

In this way, the matter was settled.

Zhao Kuo led the troops to fight, regained the land in northern Hebei, captured the king of northern Hebei and came back to question him, while Lin Beifan sat in court.

Lin Beifan smiled and watched from beginning to end without saying a word.
