"Congratulations to the King!" "Jin Guo is lucky!"

Above the court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all cheered in unison, Lin Mu looked around at the courtiers, the Sun family, the Shi family, the Ning family, the Beigong family, the Nan family, except for Cao Yan and Ying Zhan, who were basically the nobles of Shiqing who controlled the government.

If you want to completely control the country in such a single force and only rely on the power of the fox and the tiger, as a monarch, especially the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, for Lin Mu, this is an unprecedented and arduous challenge, and the centralized action is also a major matter that cannot be delayed.

Lin Mu quickly put away the thoughts in his heart, and the ministers also quieted one after another.

I saw that he looked around at the ministers in the court with a calm tone, and began to sit upright, so he said: "The Jin Kingdom has been more than 100 years since the founding of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, although the Jin Kingdom is already small and weak, but the decline is until today, since the conquest of various countries, the world is thousands of countries and now nine-tenths of the country, even if it is as strong as the previous dynasty, it is still in the world, but my Jin Kingdom has survived to this day although the country is weak, why not——? ”

A group of courtiers turned their heads to each other, but they didn't dare to answer in vain, Lin Mu's unbelievable question did not have any courtiers to answer, he didn't care, only heard his voice in the hall, so he said again, holding a long tail note: "Jin Guo ......!" The reason why the country can remain standing without dying when the situation has changed for more than 100 years is because the Shiqing clan of the Jin State has repeatedly saved the political situation from danger, and can also make friends with the state, so that the Jin State can maneuver around the forest of countries and survive to this day. ”

"The credit lies in the Zhongqing's family!" Lin Mu suddenly leaned forward and looked around at everyone and grinned, and said, "Zhongqing has worked hard for the Jin Kingdom, and his hard work is high. This time, the thieves were able to shed blood, all thanks to the thunderous methods of Shi Ning and Sun Sanqing, who were able to quickly stabilize the government and capture the thief! Meritorious service for protecting the country! Those who have merit should be rewarded! ”

Above the main hall of the court, Lin Mu's voice resounded, and the ministers whispered to each other when they heard this, and the heads of Sun Shining's three major secretaries below were a little confused about what Lin Mu was going to do, and the first minister in charge of state affairs, Zuo Situ Sun Gu, immediately came out and bowed and said: "The ministers are indeed incompetent, so that Lin Zijie steals the country, the king said this, the ministers are ashamed, and they are sincerely afraid, and they hope that the king will take back his life!" ”

"Why did Sun Qing say this, merit is merit, and passing is passing, there is a way to be rewarded for merit, and punishment must be punished for merit, and only when merit is rewarded, can all four sides obey the ear——!" Lin Mu stopped and didn't smile, "Let's put this reward aside, let's talk about the punishment first!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people's hearts jumped slightly, especially Sanqing, whose eyes flashed slightly. Many people in the court thought that Lin Mu was going to punish Sanqing, but unexpectedly this was not the case.

I saw Lin Mu's smiling expression immediately solemn, and said: "The puppet monarch steals the country, the crime is unforgivable, and anyone suspected of a serious crime will be immediately killed." should have wiped out its branch male clan, but remembering the source of the bloodline of the same royal family, the Yi clan was spared, but it was difficult to get rid of the living crime, depriving Lin Zijie of all the food and towns, and all of them were reduced to commoners, in order to set an example! ”

Wei Jianguo for more than 100 years, but it is the inheritance of the former dynasty clan rule, the country so far, the Shiqing nobles are like maggots attached to the bones parasitic on the Jin State, even though Lin Mu is eager to get rid of it immediately, but also knows that now is not the right time, just enthroned as a monarch, there is no foundation in the Jin State, although there is the prestige of the Qin State and the name is justified, these Shiqing nobles dare not move.

But if you are in a hurry, it is a big deal to break the net, and the dog will jump off the wall when it is in a hurry, let alone a person.

To put it bluntly, Lin Mu didn't have an army at hand, otherwise why would he go to such great lengths to act with them.

Lin Zijie was bleeding, and a group of people who were originally determined became prisoners who were shouted and beaten by everyone, and as soon as Lin Mu said this, the courtiers above the court suddenly said in unison: "The king is wise!" ”

The eunuch field is like the sea, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, these people have lived a lot of years, all of them are human spirits, if ordinary people and a group of such people are around, they really don't necessarily get any benefits. But Lin Mu was an exception, looking at the courtiers, he couldn't help but think of the words on the bamboo scroll echoing in his ears, "The art of closing, led by meditation, can be invincible." ”

I saw that Lin Mu's serious face suddenly grinned again, and his expression changed freely, he was simply the actor among the actors, so he said: "The next thing is to reward!" Where is Cao Yan——? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are here!" Above the court, Cao Yan, who was born as a businessman, has become an official in the court, and stands in the center and bows his head.

"Cao Yan escorted the lonely king back to the country, and the lonely king worshiped him as a secretary, ranked as a secretary, and rewarded thousands of households." After Lin Mu finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and as soon as he came up, he was ranked in the title of Yaqing, and the thousands of households in the Jin Kingdom were no longer small.

As far as the title is concerned, it is already second only to Sanqing. Fortunately, Lin Mu did not give real power, and none of the ministers in the court spoke out against it, especially Sanqing.

"It just so happens that the fief of Lin Zijie's line belongs to Cao Qing." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Cao Yan endured his excitement and bowed his head and said. Jun has no jokes, he is a nobleman from now on, and he is a legitimate nobleman in the Jin Kingdom, how can Cao Yan not be excited.

Everyone's expressions came into Lin Mu's eyes, so he smiled again: "Sun, Ning, and Shi Sanqing all have the merit of protecting the country and eliminating thieves, and they should be rewarded, and the three Qings will each add 3,000 households." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people in the entire court had strange expressions, but they didn't dare to say it, Sun Ningshi Sanqing was also puzzled in his heart, the only Lin Zijie fiefdom was led a lot by Cao Yan, and the current Jin Kingdom is so big, where does the rewarded fief come from?

"However, in today's Jin Kingdom, the lone king really can't take out the fiefdom to reward the heroes, what should I do?" Lin Mu said: "Map! ”

I saw two palace attendants carrying a huge map, Sun Gu and the others didn't know what trick the king was going to do, only to see Lin Mu get down from the seat, walk to the map and look at the courtiers and say, "What if there is no land?" ”

"Then regain the lost ground!" Lin Mu looked at everyone and said concisely

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was shocked, and all the courtiers present were stunned, even Sun Ningshi Sanqing was surprised, and they could no longer be calm.

"The king wants to ...... Felling beams? Sun Gu asked in a tentative tone, the lost land was all taken away by the Liang State, as for the land that was divided was not captured by other countries, and now Li Ling has just been crowned king for a short time, and his morale is strong, and the crusade is not practical, so isn't this recovering the lost land only to cut down Liang?

"Or else? Will the city come back on its own? Lin Mu said.

"The king must not, never allow!" Immediately, a courtier ran out and shouted in horror: "The soldiers of the Jin State are small and the country is weak, and the armor is not more than 10,000." Raising troops to attack Liang will inevitably anger the Liang State, although the Liang State is declining today, but the tiger is still in danger, and it is not something that the Jin State can contend with. If you cut down the beams, the country will be in danger! ”

After that, the courtier immediately prostrated himself on the ground and persuaded bitterly: "Think twice, the king! ”。

"Think twice!"

In a moment, several more courtiers came out and prostrate on the ground, trying to stop them with a look of death, Lin Mu looked at these few courtiers, and said in his heart, If you don't need it now, why do you Shiqing nobles have to sing and shout with you here?
