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

When he arrived, Lin Beifan was not in a hurry.

When I came back, I didn't rush either.

Just like this, we took a luxurious boat, enjoying the scenery of the river and mountains on both sides of the bank, and slowly returned to the capital.

For the military generals, it is also a very rare leisure vacation.

I traveled around for more than a month and took the credit without even fighting a battle. I don’t know how many colleagues would be envious of me.

He couldn't help but look at Lin Beifan, and made a decision in his heart.

Next time you have such an opportunity, you must keep up, no matter how shameless you are, no one can stop you.

In the court hall, the empress looked at Lin Beifan and others who had returned, feeling very pleased.

"This time, dear friends, I went on an expedition to Doro. In less than a month, Doro was included in the territory of our dynasty, and the population increased by tens of millions. This is a great contribution to the expansion of the territory. All my dear friends, you should be greatly rewarded.! General Sun Zuo, where is he?"

A general walked out with his head held high and loudly responded:"I'm here!"

"You have made meritorious service during this expedition and have been promoted to the first rank, becoming a fourth-rank official in the imperial court.……"

The empress called the names one by one and awarded them with rewards.

Those with the lowest rewards will be promoted to half a rank, and there will also be rewards such as fertile land, gold, silver and jewelry, which are absolutely indispensable.

Everyone who received a reward was very happy and thanked the empress for her kindness.

Finally it was Lin Beifan's turn, the biggest contributor to this operation.

Now, Lin Beifan is already the Prime Minister of the imperial court, and he is still the Lord Zhongyong. His official position has basically come to an end. Everyone is very curious about what the empress will reward.

"Dear, you have brought me a surprise again! The empress said with a face full of joy:"In a year and a half, when you first came to the court, you had already proposed the python-swallowing plan, which created favorable conditions for our great force to conquer Doro!" Now, you led an expedition to Duoluo and captured Duoluo at almost no cost, opening up territory for our country. I am very gratified and happy! so……"

The empress said loudly:"I will still name you Lord Zhongyong! However, I will add the word 'hereditary' in front!"

The expressions of all the officials in the court changed one after another!

You must know that there is a huge difference between a loyal and brave male and a hereditary loyal and brave male.

Zhongyong Gong is more of an honorary title, indicating that this person has made great military exploits for the court, so he has been commended by the court. However, if the person dies, the title is gone.

But hereditary loyalty and bravery are not only an honor, but also a right.

The word hereditary is enough to show that this title can be passed down from father to son, and son to grandson. You can eat royal meals and receive salary from the court continuously.

And they have very huge rights, and the starting point for becoming an official in the court is different.

As long as this country exists and you don't do anything rebellious, your children and grandchildren can live a comfortable life.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been only five hereditary dukes.

Now, the only hereditary duke is Lin Beifan.

However, considering the contribution he made to opening up the vast territory, it seems that it is only normal to have hereditary titles.

Lin Beifan said loudly:"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Don’t be too busy thanking me, there’s more!"The empress shook her head and laughed.

Lin Beifan was confused. What else could he do? It's all over!

The empress said loudly:"Since the beginning of the new year, Lin Aiqing has sent troops to fight five times. She has been unfavorable and invincible, and has made great contributions to war horses! His ability in marching and fighting and his great achievements are unparalleled in the world! Therefore, starting from today, I designate Lin Aiqing as the Grand Marshal of the National Military and Horses. He is in charge of all military affairs and only needs to be responsible to me!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were shocked!

Lin Beifan was already the prime minister, and now he has become the generalissimo. Both political power and military power belong to him alone! Both military power and political power are in his hands, and the military and political affairs are unified. This day Who else can check and balance him?

How could this empress do such a stupid thing?

Not afraid of what might happen...

All the officials were frightened:"Your Majesty, you must not do this!

The empress asked:"What's wrong?""

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has been honored as Prime Minister, in charge of national government affairs! Now he has become the generalissimo and is in charge of the country's military affairs. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

The empress retorted:"What's inappropriate about that?" Lin Aiqing is good at government affairs, and he is also good at marching and fighting. He can handle it with his ability! As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard, so why not give him the position of marshal?"

"Your Majesty, although Mr. Lin is capable enough, he has the dual roles of prime minister and marshal in one person. This has never happened to me, Dawu, since the founding of the country, and I have not found anything like this in other countries! This seems a bit unruly?

The empress retorted:"Rules are meant to be broken!" The reason why it didn't happen before is because there was no such talented person as Lin Aiqing! Now that we have it, we should naturally give it the honor and rights it deserves!

An old minister gritted his teeth and risked offending Lin Beifan and said,"Your Majesty, one person holds the two important positions of Prime Minister and Marshal. He has too much power and is too dangerous for you, Your Majesty!" What if he wants to rebel...?"

The faces of everyone in the court changed, these words were a bit serious!

They lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say anything.

On the contrary, the empress was very calm. She laughed in her heart, this guy wants to rebel, why bother to show off himself so much? His strength is enough!

It is very easy for a great master to change dynasties.

Except for masters at the same level, no one can stop him. And there may not be five such masters in the world. Who wants to offend such a master? It’s a thankless task!

Besides, if he has a desire for power and exposes his strength, he is guaranteed to reach the sky in one step. Why bother to climb up step by step like you are doing now and be dragged down by corrupt officials like you? leg!

"Lin Aiqing is a very loyal minister, and I believe he will never do such a traitorous thing!"The empress said

"His Majesty……"

The empress waved her hand:"You don't need to say more, I have made up my mind!"

"Your Majesty, you really can't do this! The empress was angry:"There are still people who object. Is it because my words are not effective?" Stand up for me!"

One person stood up.

After a closer look, that person was Lin Beifan.

The empress was shocked:"Ai Qing, why do you object?"

"Your Majesty……"Lin Beifan held up his hands and said:"Your Majesty, the humble minister has only won a few small victories by luck. In terms of qualifications and abilities, he cannot lead the country's military affairs. Your Majesty, please choose another virtuous minister!" The empress smiled and shook her head:"My dear, you You are humble! Everyone has seen your ability to lead troops in war. I have searched Dawu, and even the whole world, who else could I choose from you? It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the god of war! If you are not a marshal, there will be others in the world. Who is qualified to be a marshal? If you don't do it, you won't be able to serve the public!"

Lin Beifan said with a sad face:"Your Majesty, as a minister of military affairs, I am involved in government affairs and often cannot help myself. I am afraid of delaying military affairs. I really can't do it concurrently. For the position of marshal, Your Majesty, please choose another wise minister!"

The empress shook her head again:"My dear, you are humble again! I have already seen your ability to govern, and it is not a problem for you at all! I have it You feel much more relaxed! In this case, why not take on the position of marshal again?"

Lin Beifan gritted his teeth and said:"But Your Majesty, you have given too much! You are both the prime minister and the marshal, and the military and government are integrated, so you are not afraid of micro-services. Have you ever rebelled?"

The Empress burst out laughing:"My dear, the fact that you can say such things proves that you have no rebellion! You won't rebel now, you will rebel in the future, and you will never rebel!"

Lin Beifan Stunned:"Why is Your Majesty so sure?"

Under Lin Beifan's gaze, the empress smiled slightly:"Based on my intuition!"

Lin Beifan:"……"

Is this reason too childish?

Your Majesty, can you be normal, stop being a nymphomaniac, and stop giving me so much!

If you give too much, you will not be able to make up for it!

Lin Beifan continued to struggle:"Your Majesty,……"

"Dear, please stop talking! The empress waved her hand and said,"As Marshal, you can be either a marshal or a marshal. You cannot disobey your orders. Don't you want to disobey me?""

Lin Beifan was so angry that he was shaking and his face turned pale.

In the past, he only had government affairs, but now he even has military affairs. Does the empress want to exhaust him to death?

When he thinks of the dark work and exhaustion in the future, he wants to die. Oh!

I just want to be a corrupt little official, but why is it so difficult?

The empress seemed to see through Lin Beifan's thoughts, and said distressedly:"My dear, I have no one to use, so I can only wrong you!"

Lin Beifan burst into tears:"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!""

All the civil and military officials in the dynasty just felt tired and exhausted.

What kind of grievance is this?

It is clearly a good thing that I can't ask for in eighteen lifetimes!

If this is also an grievance, please let me bear it!

I am not afraid of hard work, I am not afraid Grievance!

The fact has become a foregone conclusion. Civil and military officials can only accept it.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister, on your promotion again! No, it should be called Marshal now!"

"Congratulations to the marshal, the first person in military and political affairs in the country, and a pioneer in the history of Dawu!"

"I’ll have to trouble the Prime Minister to help you more in the future!"

……

Lin Beifansheng waved his hands helplessly and said:"Don't congratulate me. I'm sad and sad. I'm just looking for a place to drink to drown my sorrows. Do you have any recommendations?" The civil and military officials were so stimulated that their expressions changed. It turned green instantly!

There are ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in my heart!

The empress sitting on the dragon throne wanted to laugh out loud and said loudly:"Aiqing, if you want to drink, I will drink with you!"

"Your Majesty, no need, I can handle it myself!

The empress' eyebrows stood up:"Ai Qing, you just look down on me and don't give me face?" Lin

Beifan said with a sad face:"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people with different opinions do not agree with each other. I drink to drown my sorrows, and Your Majesty drinks to celebrate. We should not get together!" Lest I get emotional over the scene and become more and more sad the more I drink!"

The empress finally couldn't hold it any longer and burst out laughing:"Okay, okay! I won’t embarrass you anymore!"

At this moment, the old eunuch shouted loudly:"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Dayan Dynasty are here to see you!"

Lin Beifan was slightly stunned. Is Dayan's envoy here?

Is he unable to defeat him? Are he ready to make diplomatic efforts?
