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

Entering the Jinluan Palace, Lin Beifan reported the battle situation in Jiangnan

"After receiving His Majesty's decree, Wei Chen immediately went to Songjiang!"

"Command an army of 200,000, occupy the north bank of the Songjiang River, and fight against the 500,000 Jiangnan rebels led by the King of Jiangnan!"

"It took a total of 10 days to finally win this battle! Captured 300,000 Jiangnan soldiers, and captured 32 Jiangnan players and rebels, and escorted them to Beijing for questioning!"

"In this battle, the imperial court suffered a total loss of less than 3,000 people and achieved a brilliant victory. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

"OK OK!"The Empress clapped her hands and applauded.

Although she already knew the situation in Jiangnan, she was still very excited when she heard Lin Beifan's report again.

With an army of 200,000, she could resist the King of Jiangnan's 500,000 army!

What's even more frightening is that it only took 10 days. , with these 200,000 troops, they captured King Jiangnan’s 300,000 troops and wiped out the remaining 200,000 troops!

They also captured King Jiangnan and all the rebels behind him!

During the entire process, the court lost less than 3,000 people, almost You can ignore it!

Winning is so beautiful and exciting!

"My dear, you have done the most good in this battle, and I must reward you well!"The empress said excitedly:"I have been promoted to a higher rank, becoming a first-class official for the imperial court. I still hold the position of governor of the capital, and concurrently serve as the imperial minister of the Imperial Academy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Lin Beifan said loudly

"Don’t be too busy thanking me, there’s more! The empress said with a smile:"I will give you the title of Marquis again, a loyal and courageous candidate!""

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

Only those who have made military exploits have the opportunity to obtain the title.

Although it does not have any real power, it is a very huge honor and has a high status.

Now, Lin Beifan has surpassed both official position and title. Civil and military officials, the absolute number one in the court!

Looking at their faces, I don’t know how envious they are.

Then, Lin Beifan handed over the military talisman and Shang Fang’s sword, and said:"Your Majesty, the King of Jiangnan and his rebel ministers He has been escorted to Beijing by Wei Chen and is currently waiting outside the palace for His Majesty to convict him!"

The empress loudly said:"Xuan them come in!"

In less than a tea time, King Jiangnan and others walked into the Jinluan Palace.

King Jiangnan was okay. Although he looked a little dusty, he still retained the dignity of a prince. He did not wear bracelets and handcuffs, and walked in with his head held high in a python robe. In the Jinluan Palace, he looked at his niece on the throne with complicated eyes. The same could not be said for the others. They were all tied up, their hair was messy, their faces were dirty, and they looked very embarrassed.

As soon as they entered the Jinluan Palace, they immediately knelt down and begged.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life. I know I was wrong!"

"We were all coerced and induced by King Jiangnan to do this, it was not our intention!"

"Please give us a way out!"

……

The empress took one look and felt disgusted.

It is this group of people who cheated and received favors from the court but did not want to serve the court. Instead, they rebelled and overthrew the court, causing turmoil in the country.

Now that I've been arrested, I'm still begging for forgiveness. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?

"I don’t want to see them, so I’ll drag them down and chop them down immediately! So that other rebel ministers and their families will be handed over to the three departments for review, and they must be dealt with severely!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Three important officials of the imperial court stood up to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong!"

"Leave Weichen alive!"

……

These guilty officials begged loudly and shouted to heaven and earth.

King Jiangnan, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear it anymore. After all, these people had been with him for more than ten years, and they all had some feelings.

But when I think that I can't protect myself, I can only pretend that I can't see it.

After a while, the court finally became quiet.

The empress looked at King Jiangnan condescendingly, with a sense of superiority, and said with a smile:"Uncle, did you think that this day would happen?"

"snort! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, there is nothing to say!"King Jiangnan said with a dark face.

"In this way, if you plead guilty, it will be very easy to handle! The empress announced loudly:"Because King Jiangnan led his troops to rebel and subvert the court, he committed a heinous crime, so he will be demoted to a commoner from now on!""

King Jiangnan closed his eyes in despair.

From now on, he is no longer the prince of the imperial court, and all the glory and wealth in the past have nothing to do with him.

"King Jiangnan, you should be punished for committing such a heinous crime! However, because you are my imperial uncle, I can’t bear to kill you, so I’m taking you to the sky prison and imprisoning you forever! Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the prison!"

King Jiangnan turned pale.

Although his life was saved, he will never be free again.

"As for the Jiangnan King lineage……"

The empress said with stern eyes:"Not only were they all demoted to common people, but they were all killed, no one was spared!"

King Jiangnan was so stimulated that his body was shaking and he almost fell down.

Killing them all means that he will have no descendants and no more descendants!

This is something that is very difficult for any ancient person to accept!

He opened his mouth to persuade the empress to be merciful, but in the end it turned into a helpless and sad sigh.

If it were him, he would definitely kill all the rebels and avoid future troubles!

"Uncle Emperor, are you satisfied with my punishment?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty...Lon!"Jiangnan King said heartbrokenly

"As long as you are satisfied! Uncle Emperor, although you have done something sorry for me, I still care about my family ties. Stay in prison with peace of mind and don't cause trouble. I will definitely take care of you until you die!

King Jiangnan cupped his hands and said,"Thank you, Your Majesty!" But before going to jail, I want to expose someone! The empress was stunned:"

Uncle, who do you want to expose?""

"He, Lin Beifan!"Prince Jiangnan pointed his finger at Lin Beifan and said with murderous intent:"This man is the real traitor! The evildoer who brings disaster to the country and the people! If this person is not eliminated, he will cause great harm to the military and there will be endless troubles!"

The whole hall was in an uproar!

The anti-king Jiangnan King actually accused Lin Beifan of being a treacherous traitor and a monster who brought disaster to the country and the people!

He also said that if he didn't kill him, he would harm Dawu and cause endless troubles!

The empress secretly glanced at Lin Beifan and found that his face was very calm. He asked:"Uncle Emperor, why did you frame Lin Aiqing? Since Lin Aiqing became an official in the dynasty, he knows how much he has contributed to our dynasty. He is a minister who I value very highly and trust very much! You say he is a traitor and a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people, I don’t believe it!"

"I dare to say that, of course there is evidence! King Jiangnan looked at Lin Beifan and sneered:"Do you know where I got the method for making the flying artifact, the large balloon?""

"Didn't you get it from Lin Aiqing? asked the empress

"That's right, I got it from this thief!"King Jiangnan gritted his teeth and said:"This thief is so greedy that I paid a full 5 million taels of silver before he was willing to hand over the method of making the big balloon!"

The whole hall was in an uproar again!

"Did King Jiangnan get the method of making large balloons from Master Lin?"

"No wonder no matter how hard I checked, I couldn't find it. It was difficult to guard against house thieves even if it was guarded day and night!"

"5 million taels of silver, still as greedy as ever! But, does he have the guts to be greedy for this money?"

"He has always been very courageous, what else is he afraid of?"

"That's true!"

……

Amidst the criticism from everyone, Lin Beifan remained very calm.

"Besides that! King Jiangnan pointed at Lin Beifan angrily:"I also obtained the method of making the hovercraft from him, and it cost me 6 million taels of silver!""

The whole hall was in an uproar again!

"Jiangnan Wang’s hovercraft manufacturing method also came from LinWhere did you get it from?"

"This time it’s 6 million taels, so greedy!"

"He committed the crime completely against the wind, how dare he?"

……

Lin Beifan remained calm as usual, neither sad nor happy

"The king also obtained about seven taels of dragon bones from him, spending a total of 15 million taels!"King Jiangnan said angrily.

The whole hall was in an uproar again!

"Sell ​​the dragon bones and get another 15 million taels!"

"And you said you don’t have a keel? So treacherous!"

"The total amount of embezzled money has reached 26 million taels!"

"It’s really too greedy!"

……

"Plus some usual bribes……"The King of Jiangnan said bitterly:"This thief stole a total of 30 million taels of silver from me! 30 million taels of silver, turned me from the richest king to a pauper!" All the officials in the court have already Numb with shock!

30 million taels of silver!!!

It is almost equivalent to 1/3 of the national treasury!

You are too greedy!

The empress sitting on the dragon throne was also frightened when she heard this.

Although I already knew that Lin Beifan could be greedy, it seems that I still underestimated him!

It directly sucked the richest King Jiangnan into poverty!

This method shocked the past and the present!

"That’s why I say that he is a treacherous traitor and a monster who brings disaster to the country and the people! He is so greedy that he has done many things to betray Dawu for his own benefit!"

"He is also smart and cunning, and the city is extremely deep. If this person is not eliminated, the army will be in chaos, and the country will be in chaos!

King Jiangnan made a strong accusation full of anger.

The empress was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Beifan, who had a calm face, and said,"Lin Aiqing, what do you have to say about King Jiangnan's accusation?" Lin

Beifan handed over his hands very calmly and said with awe-inspiring righteousness:"Your Majesty, this is completely false!" My loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and my love for Dawu can be seen from heaven and earth! Since I entered the court as an official, I have been conscientiously advising His Majesty, working hard for the court, and working tirelessly for the people!"

"Because of this, in less than two years, the humble minister was able to reach the rank of governor of the capital, and was granted a title by your majesty, and was called a loyal and brave marquis! These are the recognition of the humble minister by His Majesty and the imperial court!

The empress nodded:"That's right!""

"Wei Chen has done so many things, which are obvious to all and cannot be blamed! However, at this time, His Highness the King of Jiangnan falsely accused Wei Chen of leaking the method of making the artifact and selling dragon bones.……"

Lin Beifan sneered and shouted:"It is clear that you are fighting back on the verge of death, framed and framed, with the intention of driving a wedge between the hearts of my monarch and my ministers. How vicious your intentions are. Please be aware of it!" King Jiangnan said angrily:"I have known for a long time that you would deny it. Fortunately, I The king has proof!"
