Chapter 164 I don’t mind, take that seat ahead of time!

Li Kaiguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was a little dazed, and unconsciously recalled everything Lin Beifan had done in the past six months.

Proposed the plan to swallow mang, the annexation of Doro country by boiling frogs in warm water!

Invented the big balloon, a flying artifact, and the hovercraft, a sharp weapon on water, which enhanced Great Wu’s military power!

Proposed the plan to release the prince, took the opportunity to weaken the power of King Beibei!

Persuaded the two great masters, moved the grand master battle outside the city, saved the capital, and maintained the court’s face!

Let the imperial court annihilate all masters in the water military exercise!

Now, the problem of the rebels has been easily resolved!

……

Moreover, in just half a year, the opponent has been promoted step by step in the battle with the officials, and has jumped 5 levels in a row, becoming a fourth-rank official. This is the embodiment of ability!

Li Kaiguang suddenly discovered that the other party was indeed capable and had made enough contributions to sit on the position of Shangshu.

Among other things, if the Tunmang plan succeeds, helping the empress to achieve the great cause of opening up the territory for thousands of years, it is possible to become a marquis and a minister, and it is definitely not a problem to be promoted to three levels!

He is now a fourth-rank official. If he jumps three ranks in a row, he will be a second-rank official!

There is only one step away from the position of Shangshu!

Li Kaiguang thought about it, and he felt a little panicked.

“Master Li, have you figured it out?”

“In the past, no one could replace you, that’s why His Majesty endured you, allowed you to do whatever you want! But now, there is no need for it anymore! Because she has me!”

“I can also share your majesty’s worries, and I can solve many problems, and the solutions are better than you, and more in line with her wishes!”

“Besides, I’m still the one she single-handedly promoted, so I can say that I’m a close friend!”

“You said that there are choices. Will she use me or you?”

Sweat dripped from Li Kaiguang’s face.

“So now the situation is obvious…”

Lin Beifan smiled and said: “With your majesty’s favor for me and my ability, my official position will definitely be promoted! However, there are only 6 positions for ministers, and they are all occupied by you. You must let one come out, you Don’t you think so? Right now, isn’t there an excellent opportunity?”

Li Kaiguang was shocked: “You have already set your sights on the position of minister of the Ministry of War?”

“I’m not interested in this right now, but…” Lin Beifan turned his head and said in a low voice: “If you don’t cooperate, Mr. Li, I don’t mind, I can take that position in advance! The Ministry of War refuses to accept, the army refuses to accept?”

Lin Beifan smiled softly and sharpened his eyes: “I have a lot of ways to make them…convince them!”

There was more sweat on Li Kaiguang’s face, and he was still a little pale.

Lin Beifan shouted: “Lord Li, believe it or not, I have copied all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and they are still safe and sound!”

Li Kaiguang shivered in fright, the clothes behind him were soaked in sweat!

The legs are still a little soft!

If it wasn’t for holding on to the table, it might have fallen down!

“Now, do you know what to do, Master Li?”

Lin Beifan patted Li Kaiguang on the shoulder: “After I go back tonight, if I still can’t see these things, then you don’t need your black hat, my lord, and you don’t need your life. I will keep it for you!”

As he said that, he went to copy an official’s mansion very arrogantly.

On the other hand, Li Kaiguang closed his eyes in despair: “Come here, send these gold, silver and jewels… to the Lin Mansion!”

Then, Lin Beifan took pains to copy one house after another.

All the officials of the Ministry of War dare not speak out!

When I thought that all the money I had brought with me in half my life had gone into that bastard’s pocket, my heart ached to the point of bleeding!

In my heart, I cursed the eighteen generations of Lin Beifan’s ancestors!

And the other officials were both sympathetic and hesitant!

Another department official’s house was ransacked!

It used to be the Ministry of Industry, but now it is the Ministry of War. Are they still far away?

How did the imperial court introduce this disaster?

When the common people saw it, they shook their heads in disappointment.

“They are all corrupt officials!”

“One is more greedy than the other!”

“This greed is over, that greed, when will it end?”

“When will the common people have a good life?”

“Da Wu is about to end, the sky is about to die!”

……

Maybe the only one who is happy is Lin Beifan!

After one round, he copied out a total of 16 million taels, and his wallet quickly became fat again!

You know, this is only from the Ministry of War, and the army generals didn’t copy it!

Lin Beifan estimates that the army can exceed at least 10 million taels!

However, most of the generals of the army are mainly distributed all over the country, guarding the country, and they can only find them slowly before they start. However, the generals in the capital can kill them first!

In this way, another 4 million taels were copied out, a total of more than 20 million taels!

Just when Lin Beifan was happily ransacking the house, the little princess went to find the empress to share what she had learned during the trip.

“Sister Empress, do you know how Lin Beifan persuaded the rebels?” The princess said mysteriously.

“How did you convince me?” The empress smiled while reading the memorial: “I heard from the people below that an agreement was reached with the leader of the rebel army. Lin Aiqing let the other party go, and all the rebel army returned to the team! However, many details have not been explained. , can you tell me about it?”

“Of course, I’ll tell you right now!”

The little princess chattered excitedly, describing Lin Beifan’s process of persuading the rebels vividly.

“If you leave, the man you hate the most will have the opportunity to sleep with your wife, beat your children, bully your mother, take your money, property and fields, and then laugh at you for having nothing… cluck… that’s how he scares the rebels to death of!”

The empress laughed dumbfounded after hearing this: “Lin Aiqing’s mouth is really too poisonous, no man can bear it!”

“Heck! That’s right, many people collapsed at that time!”

The two girls laughed loudly.

But as he said that, the little princess became a little depressed: “But when we came back, we met a lot of refugees! They all came from northern Hebei, because there were a group of rogues who robbed houses in northern Hebei, and they robbed every day. I can’t go on, I can only leave my hometown and go to other places to make a living, it looks so pitiful!”

Then, the little princess’s eyes lit up, she grabbed the empress with both hands, and said hopefully: “Sister empress, you are the king of a country, quickly send someone to arrest them all, so that the people in northern Hebei will have a better life! “

The empress nodded with complicated emotions: “I know!”

In fact, she has known about this for a long time, but she has not acted for a long time.

Because, she has always suspected that the king of Jibei was instigated behind this, and he was short of money to do such a thing of exhaustion.

Otherwise, why has he remained indifferent until now, and the officials in northern Hebei have not reported this matter?

The rogues have nothing to do with the King of Jibei, and she wouldn’t believe it even if she was killed!

Besides, if she wanted to take care of it now, there was nothing she could do!

Although Northern Hebei is still owned by Great Wu in name, it has actually completely become the territory of the King of Northern Hebei, and he manages it like an iron bucket, similar to the country of China.

The court officials over there have been assimilated and only obey the prince’s words.

Many tax burdens cannot be collected, and they are greedy.

Even if she gave the order to suppress the bandits, the other party would obey and obey. Big things were made small, small things were made small, and nothing happened.

And the last point, she doesn’t want to worry about it.

It’s good that northern Hebei is in chaos!

When northern Jibei is in chaos, the King of Northern Jibei will lose popular support and help her rule!

“Little Yunying, you go back first, I will handle this matter myself!” the Empress said softly.

“Oh, then I’ll go back first, sister empress, take care!” The little princess turned her head three times and walked away, with some disappointment in her bright eyes.

After the little princess left, the empress was silent for a long time.

Laughed self-deprecatingly: “Although I have sat on the throne, I can’t be as cold-blooded as the emperor after all!”

“Come here, pass on my order to the prefects of Tangzhou, Liuzhou and other places, let them take in the refugees, give relief to them, and arrange for them to open up wasteland and farm!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

On the high beams of the palace, a vague white figure appeared, watching all this with a smile.

At this time, the little princess came to the Lin Mansion unhappy.

Lin Beifan, who just came back from raiding his home, was in a good mood: “Little Princess, you seem a little unhappy! Tell us about your unhappy things, so that we can all be happy?”

“Don’t make trouble, I’m in a bad mood right now!” The little princess sat on the stone bench, resting her chin on her hands, and said with some annoyance: “I feel that the empress sister has changed!”

Lin Beifan was taken aback: “What changed?”

“In the past, she had the people in her heart! When I told her that the people were not doing well, she was very angry and tried to solve it! But now, when I tell her about the bandits in northern Hebei, she is very calm. , seems to be completely insignificant! She has really changed, and she is no longer the kind and generous empress sister I know!”

The little princess was in a very depressed mood.

“This is normal. After sitting on the throne, even a simple person will change!”

Lin Beifan said: “Because she no longer has herself in her heart, but the whole world! It’s okay if she has the ability, but if she doesn’t have the ability, it will be a disaster for the country! Therefore, every action and every order of her must be carefully considered. , you have to think about it before you can implement it! Otherwise, if you make a mistake, many people will suffer!”

“So that’s how it is!” The little princess nodded as if realizing something.

“To be honest, the rogues in northern Hebei are really hard to deal with! There are a lot of issues involved, not as simple as you think! If you pull the trigger, it may lead to chaos in the world! Therefore, His Majesty is right not to act rashly!”

The little princess exhaled, jumped off the stone bench, looked at Lin Beifan and said sincerely: “Lin Beifan, thank you! Every time I talk to you, I feel much better!”

“That’s right!” Lin Beifan gave the little princess a pat on the head, and said with a smile, “In the future, you can come to me when you encounter any unhappy things, and I will always be your loyal listener!”

The little princess felt that this hand was so big and warm.

He raised his head and asked expectantly: “Lin Beifan, one day…will you change too?”

“No, absolutely not!” Lin Beifan shook his head without hesitation.

“How is it possible, even the empress sister has changed!”

“I’m different! Because greed is my personality!” Lin Beifan said seriously: “No matter in the past, present or future, I’m still that money-greedy boy, and I haven’t changed a bit!”

Little princess: “…”.
