I Am a Corrupt Official, But They Say I Am a Loyal Minister!

In this way, King Jibei, the most difficult of the three rebel kings, was finished!

Next, it’s time to reward based on merit!

The empress was in a very happy mood:"General Zuo, I order you to be the general of the expedition to the north, lead 200,000 elite troops, and set out immediately to regain the land in northern Hebei!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"An old general happily stepped forward to receive the order. This was almost a free effort.

The empress spoke again:"Where is the imperial guard Yumao Yelaixiang who carries a sword in front of me?"

"I'm here!"Tuberose responded.

"In this battle, Aiqing, you took the lead and saved Lin Beifan, an important minister of the imperial court! At the same time, he also killed Leng Ruochen, the leader of the Tianmen Sect who was causing trouble in the capital, with a single blow. His contribution was huge! He was promoted to the first rank and became a guard with a sword for the second rank of the imperial court! Rewards of 100 acres of fertile land, 10,000 taels of gold, and 10 pieces each of silk and satin……"

After a round of luxurious rewards, all the officials were envious!

While Ye Laixiang was a little surprised, she also felt a little guilty:"Your Majesty, that...Leng Ruochen was really not killed by me! I am just a little innate strong man, how can I kill the master?" The empress smiled and shook her head:"Ye Ai Sir, please stop being modest! Now everyone knows that that knife was yours, and that knife flew out of your hand. Who else could you have killed if you didn't kill him?"

Ye Laixiang explained with a tired face. :"But, it's really not me! The knife flew out by itself. I don't have this ability."……"

From just now to now, he has explained it several times, but no one believes it.

The empress smiled, of course she knew who did it.

But he doesn’t want to be exposed, so he can only reward you!

Anyway, you are considered his, isn’t it the same as rewarding you?

"Ye Aiqing, don't refuse, what's yours is yours, you can't run away!"The empress said with a smile.

Tuberose had no choice but to accept the order.

"And Lin Aiqing, step forward to hear the seal!

Lin Beifan bowed and said,"I'm here!""

All the civil and military officials in the court swept their eyes over.

Now, Lin Beifang is already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and he also has the title of Lord Zhongyong. It can be said that he is a minister of the highest rank and has reached the pinnacle.

As for the cost of food and clothing In terms of things, etc., he has already left everyone behind.

Everyone was very curious, what could the empress give him?

The empress looked at Lin Beifan with a face full of joy:"Lin Aiqing, during this battle, you opened your mouth to disrupt the northern Hebei army and let They killed each other and relieved the court from danger, which was a great achievement!"

"At the same time, since this year, it has been you, Aiqing, who have taken action again and again, resisting Daxia's 800,000 troops in the east, suppressing 500,000 Jiangnan troops in the south, suppressing Wuxi and Dayue's million-strong coalition in the west, and disrupting the northern Hebei warrior army in the north, ending the disintegration of Dawu. The situation has made me powerful and powerful, and no one is dissatisfied with it!"

"At the same time, since Aiqing took office as the governor of the capital, the weather has been good, the people are prosperous, the people have enough food and clothing, and the Detian Mansion is changing and prospering with each passing day, which makes me very happy!"

"It can be said that, Aiqing, you are known as the first civil and military person in the entire dynasty, both in terms of ability and merit! So I thought about it seriously and felt it was time to add more burdens to you!

The empress said majestically:"From today on, Lin Aiqing will serve as the Prime Minister of Dawu, commanding and supervising all officials, and assisting me in governing the country and maintaining the stability of the country. I appreciate this!""

The civil and military officials in the hall were all shocked!

As Lin Beifan became the prime minister, he really had to ride on their heads. No one could control what he wanted to do!

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

The empress asked:"Why not? Is it Lin Aiqing's lack of ability or lack of merit?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin has enough ability and merit, but he is still too young to convince the public!

The empress retorted:"Although Lin Aiqing is young, her ambitions are not as high as her age!" Lin Aiqing's abilities are very outstanding. We should promote talents in an eclectic way, reuse Lin Aiqing, and let him give full play to his talents!"

"Your Majesty, Lin Beifan has only been an official for a short time and has little experience! Do you need to work hard for a few years and gain more experience before assuming a major position?

The empress sneered and retorted:"Short of experience?" You have been working for more than 20 years, but you can't do as well as others in one year. How dare you say that others have little experience? So I don’t accept this reason!"

"Your Majesty, we in Dawu have not had a prime minister for a long time! The six ministries and nine ministers each perform their duties and follow the steps step by step, so that everything can run smoothly! The post of prime minister seems a bit redundant, and it would be inappropriate to set it up again, right?

The empress retorted:"The reason why there was no prime minister in the past was because there was no suitable talent!" Over the years, I have been both the emperor and the prime minister. I have been very tired and exhausted, so I really need a prime minister to assist me! This person finally appeared, it is Lin Aiqing, I am very happy!"

"Your Majesty, there is an additional prime minister in the court, and your rights will be taken away.……"

The empress retorted again:"Don't worry! Aiqing is loyal and loyal, and I trust him very much! And compared to you, he is much better. At least he does not form cliques for personal gain, nor does he harm the public and enrich himself!""

"His Majesty……"

The empress waved her hand impatiently:"Okay, don't say any more, I have made up my mind. Come and see the new prime minister! Don't you think you can resist the decree?"

"Thank you very much for your majesty's love. I will do my best to die! Lin Beifan accepted the order and faced the officials with a smile.

The officials were very helpless and had no choice but to say in unison:"Meet the Prime Minister!" Lin Beifan smiled and held hands:"

Colleagues, there is no need to be polite!" Gain His Majesty's trust and assume the position of Prime Minister! From now on, we will join hands to assist His Majesty and rebuild great power! All the officials bowed again:"

What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true!""

From then on, Lin Beifan ascended to the throne and became the well-deserved number one person in the court. He was powerful and powerful among hundreds of officials!

Below one person, he is above ten thousand people!

The empress was very pleased:"Lin Beifan, ever since you entered the court as an official, I feel that you are the most powerful person in the court. It is a material that can be made! And you have never been disappointed again. You have outstanding abilities and have made many great contributions to the court! Now, you have finally grown up and become my most valued minister! I am very happy and very relieved!"

"This is all your Majesty’s great love, I am very grateful! Lin Beifan said loudly

"Lin Aiqing, you have a great responsibility. After becoming the Prime Minister, you will continue to serve as the Prime Minister of the capital and manage the affairs of the capital! Because the capital is the economic and governance center of Dawu, there must be no chaos! I will continue to serve as the Imperial College’s sacrificial wine, because the Imperial College is the future of Dawu and cannot be destroyed!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Lin Beifan accepted the decree

"My dear, do you have any governing philosophy or thoughts on governing? Tell us about it!"The empress encouraged

"Your Majesty, if we want to talk about Wei Chen’s governing philosophy, we must first talk about today’s battle! To be honest, today's battle touched Wei Chen too deeply! Lin

Beifan sighed deeply:"The King of Northern Hebei raised troops in the name of Qingjun. This was completely unwarranted, but it got a response from the people!" It can be seen from this that it is precisely because our officials in the imperial court did not do a good enough job and did not satisfy the people that we gave the enemy an opportunity!

The empress felt the same way:"What Ai Qing said is absolutely true!""

"As the saying goes: After rectifying oneself, one can rectify things; after self-governance, one can govern others! Lin Beifan said loudly:"We must examine ourselves correctly to do things well, and we must be strict with ourselves before we can manage others!" Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small! Only in the long run can we gain the trust of the people, the country will be stable, and the country will be consolidated!"

The empress agreed very much."Aiqing, you are right!"

"Therefore, Weichen’s idea is……"

Lin Beifan finally showed his fangs:"Let me search the houses of all the officials! Firstly, you can find out the corrupt officials in the court, scare Xiaoxiao, and wash away the filth of the court! Secondly, you can rectify your innocence to the outside world and maintain the face of the court.!"

"Want to ransack your home again?"The officials turned pale with fright. They knew it would be like this!

This corrupt official will definitely attack them as soon as he gets to a high position!

The empress thought deeply:"Ai Qing, what you said makes perfect sense.……"

All the officials were frightened:"Your Majesty, don't do it.……"

The empress said loudly:"I'm sure!"

"No!"Every official is in despair

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Lin Beifan was overjoyed and faced the officials:"My lords, please, who comes first?""

Next, after receiving the imperial edict, Lin Beifan sharpened his sword and went to the officials.

At this time, because Lin Beifan had made another great contribution and became the Prime Minister of Wu, the news quickly spread throughout the world!

"Lin Beifan has become the prime minister! He is really inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!"

"The prime minister, who is only in his 20s, is the first person in history!"

"It will definitely go down in history and be famous forever!"

"I wonder if the lives of us ordinary people will be easier after he becomes Prime Minister Wu?"

"How could this day be any worse? At least Mr. Lin is still very capable of management. Since he became the governor of the capital, everyone's life has become better and better!"

"That's true!"

……

The common people are still somewhat looking forward to Lin Beifan becoming prime minister.

After all, Lin Beifan's abilities and political achievements are obvious to all.

Since becoming the governor of the capital, the lives of the people in the capital have become better and better. The weather is smooth, the food is sufficient, the economy is developed, everyone has a job to do, everyone has food to eat, and now everyone has a house to live in.

Although he was very greedy for money, he never reached out to the common people.

This is enough, otherwise what else can you ask for?

But for other officials, the mood is not so beautiful!

This guy is really greedy and has a vicious eye. No matter where the gold, silver and jewelry are hidden, he can find them and have them delivered to his Lin Mansion.

Don’t obey? Just wait to lose your official position and beheaded!

All officials dare to be angry but dare not speak!

I hate Lin Beifan so much!

However, Lin Beifan didn't take it seriously at all and said with a smile:"My lords, as the saying goes, the old will not go and the new will not come! These things you embezzled are all ill-gotten gains! According to Dawu law, your official status It’s gone a long time ago, and the head has been moved long ago! However, I have been extraordinarily merciful and left you with your official position and your head so that you can continue to serve the court and enjoy the glory and wealth. You should be grateful to me!"

Everyone said Crazy!

You took away all the money we worked so hard for, and you still ask us to thank you?

Why is your face so big?

I thank you eight generations of ancestors!
