Chapter 258 Loyalty is precisely because of greed!

Xia Tianqiong fell silent, because what Lin Beifan said was too reasonable.

It can be said that Lin Beifan has almost reached the position of a minister in Great Wu, and his power has reached its peak. Moreover, he is still young and is trusted by the Empress. If he develops steadily, he will have the opportunity to be appointed as a Marquis and Prime Minister in the future.

If you follow him to Daxia, you may not be able to achieve this step.

After all, he has to take care of his veterans first.

His veterans have been with him for more than ten years. Some of them are veterans of the two dynasties.

If he was allowed to step on everyone’s heads, what would others think of him, how would civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think of him?

He must be very disappointed and resentful!

When the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.

There are only so many positions. If you give it to the veteran, you won’t be able to give it to Lin Beifan.

Therefore, Lin Beifan can only be wronged.

In terms of prosperity and wealth, what Lin Beifan now has to eat, drink, live, and enjoy is already at the top of the world, and it is almost of no benefit to the emperor. In some respects, he is even more extravagant than the prince.

He himself can’t live such a life, so what can he give Lin Beifan?

Even if he is willing to give it, I’m afraid other veterans will not agree!

Don’t worry about being few, but about unevenness. This principle applies to everyone in the world!

Xia Qiong finally found out sadly that he couldn’t give Lin Beifan what he wanted.

It’s no wonder that he is reluctant to leave Great Wu, or he would not be willing to leave Great Wu.

However, Xia Tianqiong was not completely disappointed. Instead, he said with confidence: “Master Lin, you are right! But, have you thought about a problem? Great Wu is going downhill, and he is almost unable to hold on!”

“There are treacherous ministers in power inside, vassal kings are in chaos, the rivers and lakes are in turmoil, and there are nations looking around outside, raising troops to take over the Central Plains at any time! Great military chaos, sooner or later! Great military death, sooner or later!”

“When the Great Wu is gone, what will you do as a mere courtier?”

Looking at Lin Beifan’s silence, Xia Qiong thought that Lin Beifan’s mind had been shaken, and said with a bright smile, “As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to live in! You are a very rare talent, you shouldn’t be buried like this!”< /p>

“Follow Bengong to Daxia. Although Bengong can’t give you the same official position and wealth, it will definitely protect you and let you show off your ambitions and talents! Although the starting point is a bit low, you are still young, and Bengong is also young. We have plenty of time to create a great cause! When those veterans leave, who else can stop you?”

“Isn’t it a matter of time before one person is under one person and above ten thousand people? Do you think so?”

Lin Beifan cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness’s words may not be reasonable, but I still decided to stay in Great Wu!”

Xia Tianqiong was stunned: “Why are you so stubborn? You know, Da Wu’s strength is exhausted!”

“Your Highness Xia, this is over! Although the great martial arts are in decline, there are various problems, but it is not impossible to solve them! Even if in the end, as you said, the great martial arts are exhausted, there is still this official~!”

Lin Beifan shouted: “Great Wu’s sky is falling, let me take it up! Great Wu’s spine is broken, let me pick it up! Great Wu’s strength is exhausted, let me continue! As long as I am still in Great Wu for a day, I will do my best For the continuation of Great Wu Guozuo!”

The sound was loud and deafening, echoing in the sky!

The golden sun shines on Lin Beifan’s face, it looks so firm and holy!

Xia Tianqiong stared blankly at Lin Beifan, as if getting to know him again.

After a long time, he said in a nasty way: “I never thought that you, a corrupt official, are actually a loyal minister!”

I don’t know if it’s appreciation or irony!

“Being loyal is because of greed!” Lin Beifan said confidently: “Otherwise, where can I find such a good place for corruption? Go to your Daxia, can you give me a chance to embezzle tens of millions?”< /p>

Xia Tianqiong: “Damn!”

I was almost deceived by your appearance just now!

You are still that young man who is greedy for money, and you haven’t changed a bit!

Xia Tianqiong snorted and said: “Great Wu will perish, you alone can’t change anything, it’s just a struggle! However, I cherish my talents, I will give you another chance! When we meet next time, I hope you can make a wise decision.” Choose!”

The conversation between the two ended here, and the balloon slowly descended.

Back at the post house, Xia Qiong said to his people: “When I was riding the big balloon today, I invited Lin Beifan, but he refused!”

“Refused? Why did he refuse?”

“Can’t he see that Great Wu is no longer good?”

“A good bird chooses a tree to live in. He doesn’t understand such a simple truth?”

……

The veterans all expressed their puzzlement.

Xia Qiong was silent. He didn’t tell the reason for Lin Beifan’s refusal.

In my heart, there was a little more urgency.

“It’s almost time, we will set off for Daxia tomorrow!”

He wants to run back to launch a war and invade Great Wu!

Not only to expand the territory and realize his long-cherished wish, but also to capture Lin Beifan and other talents under his command and use them for him!

On the morning of the second day, Xia Qiong and his party bid farewell to the Empress and set off for Xia.

The empress politely asked them to stay for two days, and finally left with them.

Then, the empress asked Lin Beifan in the court hall: “Aiqing, you have been here to accompany Da Xia Prince Xia Qiong for the past few days. What do you think of this person? Does he pose a threat to our Da Wu?”

“Your Majesty, I feel that this person is a great threat!”

Lin Beifan bowed and said: “Although we have only been together for a few days, I see that Prince Daxia dares to be the first, his eyes are like a torch, he knows people and makes good use of them, he has a big heart, and he has the appearance of a rejuvenating king! Under his leadership, Daxia will surely It is thriving! It is very unfavorable for us Great Wu!”

The Empress nodded, Lin Beifan’s point of view was the same as hers.

Xia Tianqiong is a very rare enlightened master, with outstanding ability, great mind, good use of people, and very ambitious!

If this person becomes emperor, he will pose a huge threat to Great Wu!

“My loves, how should we treat this person in the future?” the Empress asked.

All the officials expressed their views and expressed their views.

But at this moment, Lin Beifan expressed his opinion: “Your Majesty, I feel that it is best to arrest him immediately, put him under house arrest, and keep him under strict supervision. He is not allowed to return to Xia!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked!

“Arrest Prince Da Xia?”

“My dynasty has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. The prince Da Xia came to us as a guest, but we want to arrest him. How is this proper? What do people in the world think of us?”

“Master Lin, do you want to harm us Great Wu? What if the other party launches a war, you come to support?”

“Big Xia is not inferior to our dynasty, how can we start the war lightly?”

“Our Great Wu is already chaotic enough, we can’t be chaotic anymore!”

“Master Lin, have you lost your mind and said something like this?”

……

The empress asked urgently: “Aiqing, why did you say that? Did you see something?”

Facing the civil and military questions of the Manchu Dynasty, Lin Beifan looked calm: “The reason why I made such a proposal is actually to avoid war and reduce the loss of Great Wu! All along, Prince Daxia has always wanted to kill me! These days, they traveled The capital city and Minxin city have seen the prosperity of the capital city and the signs of rejuvenation, and a sense of crisis has already arisen in their hearts!”

“` “The better my Great Wu develops, the more unfavorable it is for them! The longer the time drags on, the worse it is for them! If the other party rushes back, it may be to go back to formulate a strategy against my Great Wu, and it is very likely to start a war!”

“So, it’s better to act first, and then you will suffer! We might as well arrest him first and use this to threaten Daxia! With the crown prince in hand, Daxia will not dare to act rashly, and the Great Wu will be safe! Your Majesty, please be careful!”

The empress frowned and said nothing, but the officials disagreed.

“Lord Lin, everything is just your suspicion, don’t count! The other party may have other things to rush back! After all, as the prince of a country, it is normal to be busy with things!”

“The other party didn’t do anything against us. If we are caught now, we will be shamed by the people of the world, and it will easily intensify conflicts and lead to wars. It is very inappropriate!”

“We are a country of etiquette, not bandits, how could we do such a disrespectful thing?”

……

In the end, the empress and all the officials overruled his opinion.

Lin Beifan took a step back indifferently.

Anyway, he is only responsible for making suggestions, and it’s fine if he doesn’t adopt them. There is no loss to him.

After a few days like this, Ye Lixiang, who had disappeared for a few days, came back with a sad face.

Lin Beifan smiled and said, “Looking at you like this, you didn’t succeed?”

Before, Ye Laixiang had the heart to take revenge on Xia Qiong, but Lin Beifan suppressed her, and only allowed to do it after the other party left Great Wu. This is the reason why the evening primrose disappeared for several days.

Ye Laixiang lay down, and said sullenly, “Don’t mention it, Xia Qiong is surrounded by a Grandmaster to protect me. I was discovered just as soon as I approached, and I have no chance to teach him a good lesson!”

Lin Beifan shook his head and smiled, he had already guessed this.

Next to Xia Tianqiong was an old man in black. He looked plain and he was a grandmaster.

With him here, how could Ye Laixiang succeed?

“However, although he didn’t succeed this time, there is still a chance. I don’t believe he has always had a master by his side!” Ye Laixiang was full of ambition.

Lin Beifan asked again: “By the way, is there any change in the deployment of Daxia’s border troops?”

Ye Laixiang’s face became serious: “There are indeed some changes. The defense is much tighter than usual! There is also the mobilization of food and grass, and the training of soldiers and horses has become much more frequent!”

Lin Beifan nodded thoughtfully.

“Is there going to be a war? Da Xia and Da Wu are going to fight?” Ye Laixiang asked.

“It’s very possible, we need to prepare early!” Lin Beifan sighed: “One wave of ups and downs will rise again, Great Wu is really full of disasters and disasters!”

A week passed quickly.

Hurry up for 800 miles! ! !

The border war finally came!

300,000 Chen Bing of the Daxia Dynasty invaded the border of Great Wu on the border between the two countries, and fought without declaring it!

“Big Xia… is calling!!!”.
