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

Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, someone came to pass on Lin Beifan to the imperial study.

When Lin Beifan arrived, the rest of the court officials had already arrived. With a very solemn face and a solemn expression, he looked at the empress sitting in front of the desk.

At this time, he didn't care about bowing, and stood obediently behind the hundred officials.

The queen looked at everyone and found that they were all there, and said with a hint of anger: "Just now, there was a rush in 8 miles, and a mutiny broke out in Tangzhou! Several thorn-headed soldiers beheaded the general and side generals, and led a 30,000-strong army into the In the mountains and fields, the grass is a bandit, and the current confrontation with the imperial troops and horses is very serious!"

Baiguan suddenly burst into an uproar!

A mutiny has occurred, and the situation is indeed very serious!

"Your Majesty, what's the reason?" an old minister said.

"Why, you can see for yourself!"

The Empress threw down the 800-mile urgent document and let the officials circulate it.

The local generals and generals have been embezzling the soldiers' salaries for a long time, causing the soldiers to sweat and sweat, and they can't get the treatment they deserve. Even eating is a problem.

In addition, these generals will either beat or scold the soldiers under their command, and the two sides have been grumbling for a long time.

The final fuse was the wife of a general who had openly molested the soldier.

The soldiers who had been oppressed for a long time finally couldn't bear it anymore and provoked a mutiny!

Several powerful soldiers took the lead as these generals, and then led other soldiers to defect!

The queen stood up and gritted her teeth: "They are so courageous, they dare to greedy even the army's salary! They also abuse soldiers at will, and molest the soldiers' wives! Where is the appearance of a court official? 23 Throwing it to me is really unreasonable! How unreasonable!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The officials said in unison.

"How do you want me to calm my anger?" The Empress said angrily: "The political situation in the court is now unstable, and there are major vassal kings peeping at the court, and border countries are eager to move! However, at this time, they even caused chaos? If It's not that they are already dead, I really want to pull them out and kill them again!"

Baiguan remained silent.

At this time, the Empress turned her head to look at the Minister of War, and said angrily, "Li Kaiguang, why should you be blamed?"

Li Kaiguang, Minister of War, was stunned, and quickly stood up: "Your Majesty..."

The queen shouted loudly: "As the Minister of War, you are in command of the country's military affairs, and you are responsible for supervising military attachés from all over the country! However, you don't even know that Tangzhou's chief army embezzled army salaries and abused soldiers! You said, are you responsible? Is there an unshirkable responsibility? You say, what should you be guilty of?"

The Minister of War was extremely aggrieved!

He clearly didn't do this, but he was the one who took the blame!

Now he also wants to pull out that group of generals and kill them again!

He didn't wonder if he was too old recently, and always encountered such bizarre and unfortunate things?

Engaged in ordinary water training, but encountered a group of martial arts masters, and the training failed!

Nothing to do now, but it's a disaster!

"This minister is guilty!" Li Kaiguang, Minister of War, immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

The Empress is right, although he did not do this, but as the Minister of War, he has an inescapable responsibility!

"Remember your sins for now! The most important thing now is to solve the mutiny in Tangzhou. You must cut through the mess quickly, otherwise the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for our great martial arts!" The Empress said calmly.

"Your Majesty's words are very true!" All the officials said in unison.

"The question now is, how to deal with this matter and who will deal with it?"

Hundreds of officials expressed their opinions, and the final consensus was to persuade the surrender. If the persuasion failed, it could only be suppressed by force, and the mutiny must be resolved quickly.

"Then who to send?" the Empress asked again.

Baiguan looked at each other in dismay, this matter is very tricky, not a good job.

If the solution is not good, it may affect their career.

The Minister of Industry stood up: "Your Majesty, promise to make atonement!"

He knew that at this time, even if he didn't want to stand up, he had to stand up!

"But, you have messed up so many things, I can't trust you!" The Empress sarcastically said.

Li Kaiguang's face was full of suffocation.

The Empress turned to Lin Beifan, who was fishing for fish behind Baiguan: "Lin Aiqing, you are responsible for this matter!"

Lin Beifan was stunned: "Your Majesty, did you find the wrong person, Wei Chen can't do it!"

The queen smiled and said: "Aiqing, I did not find the wrong person! The reason I chose you is because you have always been quick-witted and can solve many difficult problems! Besides, you are eloquent, articulate, and negotiating. The most suitable personnel! Take out your three-inch tongue and convince them to surrender!"

Lin Beifan blinked: "Your Majesty, do you think highly of me?"

"Not at all!" The Empress shook her head and said, "You went to Leiyun Temple before, and abducted a Buddhist master and old monk into his home! Later, he met two masters, Sword Immortal and Sword Saint. , it's you who fights the lotus with your tongue again and becomes their confidant and friend! Look, you can convince even a grandmaster, but you can't convince a group of warriors?"

Lin Beifan panicked a little: "But, what if I can't persuade me? I can't fight!"

The queen sneered in her heart.

Dress me up again!

The previous theory of the agrarian revolution, the three methods of guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and mine warfare, the mass line of encircling cities from the countryside, and other strategic methods and ideas, even I have benefited a lot from listening to them!

Your level of art of war is a master of strategists!

If you can't even fight, no one in the world can!

"Lin Aiqing, don't refuse! I think that among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, you are the most suitable, and there is absolutely no second choice! If this matter is resolved smoothly, I will definitely reward you!" The Empress promised loudly.

"Your Majesty's words are very true, this matter must be sacrificed to wine!"

"Sacrificial wine is eloquent and resourceful, and it is most suitable for him to take charge of this matter!"

"As soon as the sacrificial wine comes out, it must be a success!"

...

Hundreds of officials opened their mouths one after another, strongly recommending it!

Lin Beifan is trembling with anger, these old gangsters are doing bad things again!

Go back and find a chance to copy your home!

In desperation, Lin Beifan had no choice but to take orders: "I will obey the order!"

That night, after dinner, Lin Beifan set off immediately, hurried on the road overnight.

Along with him were Mo Rushuang, as well as an official sent by the imperial court to protect Lin Beifan.

The little county master also followed secretly, saying that he wanted to protect Lin Beifan, but in fact he just wanted to join in the fun.

After two nights and one day of traveling, I finally came to Tangzhou in the middle of the night on the second day.

The local prefect, Mr. Liu, greeted Lin Beifan in person: "I have seen Mr. Jijiu, and I have seen the Princess Yunying! The lower official has prepared meals, and I will wash the dust for everyone!"

"We'll talk about it later. How is the situation now?" Lin Beifan asked straight to the point.

Liu Zhifu said with a wry smile: "The situation is still very tense! At present, the two sides are confronted by the Panshan River as the boundary! As long as we cross the boundary, they will not ask about the indiscriminate attack, and many officials in this government have been injured!"

"Also, there was a fight last night! The rebels went down the mountain and scrambled for food and grass with our troops and horses due to lack of food! Fortunately, the casualties were not heavy, otherwise this officer would not end well!"

Lin Beifan nodded.

"I don't know how the court plans to solve this matter?" Liu Zhifu asked cautiously.

"The main thing is to persuade surrender. If it doesn't work, we can only send troops to suppress it! All problems must be solved within a week! Otherwise, this situation will be used by people with intentions, and the consequences will be disastrous!" Lin Beifan said.

Liu Zhifu nodded solemnly.

Then, Lin Beifan followed Liu Zhifu to the scene to take a look.

It was late at night, most of the rebels had already slept, and the forest on the mountain looked dark and very quiet.

However, a few cautious eyes could still be seen from the pitch-black vegetation.

"Go back to rest first, and make plans tomorrow!" Lin Beifan turned around and went back.

At this time, the arrival of Lin Beifan has already alarmed the rebels on the mountain.

A person hurriedly ran up the hill and woke up a sleeping man: "Boss, a new official came down the hill, it should be someone sent by the imperial court!"

The man who was called the eldest was a young man, tall and mighty, with strong limbs, and his arm was as thick as someone else's thigh. The skin is darker, and when he opens his eyes, his eyes are bright and 280 is very energetic.

"Who is this person and what does he look like?"

"I can't recognize it, but she looks very young, less than 20 years old, with red lips and white teeth! However, the other party is wearing a crimson official uniform and looks at least a fourth-rank official! It is not easy to be a fourth-rank official at such a young age. what!"

As he spoke, his tone was full of envy.

"The fourth-rank official who is less than 20 years old seems to be the new champion Lin Beifan who has already served as a sacrificial wine!" The young man named the eldest nodded thoughtfully.

"The new champion Lin Beifan?"

"I heard that he is very literary, and he is very favored and trusted by the Empress, so he has been promoted to 4 levels in a few months! He has also received various rewards, and his family can't afford it!"

"But I heard that he is still a big corrupt official, and he has been embezzled several million taels within a few months of taking office!"

"Another dog officer, I really want to cut him!"

"No dog officer should die!"

...

Everyone was very excited.

They hate corrupt officials the most!

If it weren't for the group of corrupt officials who greedily took their military salaries, they wouldn't be in such a situation!

Now there is a bigger corrupt official, and they are so angry that they want to use the knife!

"Boss, what shall we do next?"

"Should we continue to confront the imperial court, or go to the back mountain and become a pirate? With my suggestion, it's better to betray directly. With our ability, we won't worry about running out of food wherever we go!"

"It's better to rely on other princes! I heard that Jiangnan Wang has more money and is currently recruiting troops. It seems that he is going to do something big. We can follow him to eat and drink spicy food!"

"The King of Jibei is also not bad! I heard that he is a corporal polite and virtuous. He is very kind to everyone, and he is a good prince!"

"Boss, you say, we all listen to you!"

...

Everyone looked at the young man in front of him eagerly, waiting for his decision.

This shows how great the prestige of this young man is.

The young man waved his hand: "Brothers, don't be impatient! Let's see the attitude of the imperial court tomorrow. Anyway, I am a big bull, and I will definitely make all the brothers feel wronged!"

Everyone nodded.
