Chapter 18: The War of the Three Kingdoms Begins

Lin Batian came to the door of the Prince's Mansion with his personal soldiers, and Lin Batian waved his hand, so his personal soldiers immediately surrounded the Prince's Mansion.

"King Zhennan, I don't know what your intentions are, why did you surround the prince's mansion in this palace, do you want to rebel?" The prince was waiting early, and when he saw Lin Batian leading troops to surround his mansion, he immediately came out and asked Lin Batian.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen's son is missing, he went to a banquet in His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion before he disappeared, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the whereabouts of Xiao'er. Lin Batian sat on the horse and did not come down to salute, but said directly to the prince.

"King Zhennan, yesterday the palace did invite your son, but after the banquet, I sent someone to send your son back to the house, didn't your prince go back last night?" said the prince with a surprised face.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to pretend to be confused, don't you know that your own men didn't return overnight?" Lin Batian was a little impatient, he didn't even bother to say the honorific title, and he was a soldier, chewing words is not his strong point, a soldier must be iron-blooded and decisive, straight to the point.

"King Zhennan, this palace has indeed not received any information from his subordinates, this palace has just received a report from his subordinates, saying that the king of Zhennan came with a large army of military horses, but this palace does not know what it is. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince continues to pretend to be confused, he must not admit that he knows about this matter, and it is wrong to say more, in case Lin Batian knows that he arranged someone to assassinate Lin Feng, it is estimated that Lin Batian will be furious on the spot, and then raze the Prince's Mansion to the ground.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know about this, can you let my brothers go in and search?" Lin Batian didn't want to go around the bend with the prince anymore.

"King Zhennan, this palace is very sorry to learn that your son is missing, this palace guarantees that your son is not in the palace as the prince, but if the king of Zhennan insists on searching the mansion of the palace, then please take care of it, but the palace has a word first, if the king of Zhennan does not find the prince in the palace of the palace, I wonder if the king of Zhennan will explain to the palace?" The prince looked indifferent, and leaned sideways to the side, signaling to let Lin Batian go in to search.

But how dare Lin Batian go in directly to search the prince's mansion, after all, the division is unknown, and he goes to search the imperial prince's mansion without any evidence, if he finds anything, it's okay, if nothing is found, then it will make people feel that the Lin family does not take the royal family in their eyes by virtue of their military merits, then the Lin family will be in trouble.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like this, then Weichen believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, but in order to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen's brothers are still guarding outside His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty for Weichen to let someone with a heart break in and hurt His Royal Highness the Prince. Lin Batian still didn't go in directly to search, but it was impossible to tear away the manpower surrounding the Prince's Mansion, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was currently the biggest suspect.

"So there is the king of Lao Zhennan. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw that Lin Batian gave in, so he no longer asked to withdraw his troops, after all, he has not cleared the suspicion yet, Lin Batian did not come in directly to search and already saw the royal face, and if he didn't give King Zhennan a little face, it would be worth the loss at that time.

Lin Batian didn't linger, he ordered his subordinates to take care of the Prince's Mansion, and then rushed directly to the agreed city center, waiting for news from the other three-way army, in case Lin Feng was not searched in the end, then he would enter the Prince's Mansion to search anyway.

However, the scope of the imperial capital is too large, and the three-way army has to search in a carpet way, which makes it even more difficult, after all, there are many ministers in the imperial capital, and there are more or less unclean places among these ministers.

The three-way army reported the information of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials to Lin Batian, who was worried that there was nowhere to go out of the fire in the prince's mansion, so he waved his hand and ordered all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials searched by the three-way army to be escorted to the prison, and then collected evidence and handed it to the emperor, so that the emperor could send it out.

Suddenly, there was a wail in the imperial capital, and in one day and one night, the prison was already full, so Lin Batianxia ordered the expedition platform to be sorted out, and all the people were escorted to the expedition platform to wait for the arrival. For a while, the officials of the court and China were restless, so everyone gathered to the emperor to plead guiltily before Lin Batian's army searched for it.

Looking at the kneeling people in the main hall, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but sobbed his mouth. Except for a very small number of high-ranking ministers and a few officials who may be innocent themselves, basically all of them are on their knees. There is still a small amount of space, which should be detained by Lin Batian.

"The emperor helped, the Lin family went crazy, without saying a word, he directly broke into the mansion of the minister of the court and the central government, and was executed on the spot after a little resistance, Lin Batian also said that he was ordered to check, but the ministers and others did not receive His Majesty's will, please Your Majesty to investigate and save the ministers. An old man kneeling at the front of the hall cried, and the others also fell to the ground and did not dare to make a sound, their bodies trembling slightly.

"Hmph, do you think that Shu doesn't know why you kneel here? It's not that your hands and feet are not clean, it's too disappointing for Shu, you see, you see, a large part of the Chinese military officials actually kneel here, you are really good courtiers." The emperor looked at these kneeling people and couldn't help but be furious.

"Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, the ministers know their mistakes, and ask Your Majesty to raise your noble hand, and the ministers are willing to hand over all their net worth to the treasury, please Your Majesty order Lin Batian to stop. ”

As soon as he heard this, the emperor knew that all these people must be corrupt, but if Lin Batian was allowed to cut it all together, there would not be many people in the court at that time, although the emperor was angry, he still gave them a way.

"Whoever embezzles less than 10,000 taels shall hand over all the proceeds of corruption and be fined for one year. ”

"Whoever embezzles between 10,000 taels and 100,000 taels shall hand over the proceeds and pay them for two years. ”

"If you embezzle between 100,000 taels and 500,000 taels, you will hand over your income and be demoted to an official position by one level, and you will be fined for three years. ”

"Those who embezzle more than 500,000 taels but less than 1 million taels shall have their homes confiscated and removed from their official posts and assigned to the frontiers, and shall not be allowed to re-enter official positions for life. ”

"Embezzling more than one million taels of homes, even the nine clans. Transmit my order to Lin Batian and let him follow it directly. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live long live. ”

The people in the imperial capital city don't know how happy they are these days, their hard-earned hard-earned money, easily let these corrupt officials and corrupt officials to scrape away, now God opened his eyes, and finally let these corrupt officials get the punishment they deserve, so all the people in the imperial capital city lit fireworks, and enshrined the Lin family's immortal tablet in their own homes, three incense sticks day and night, and the imperial capital city was very lively for a while.

Soon, three days passed, and the three-way army was almost finished searching the imperial capital, but there was still no trace of Lin Feng, and it was expected that there would be two more days to search the center of the city.

In the main hall of the Imperial Palace of the Huanyu Empire, the emperor received the news of the three highnesses in the Haotian Empire, so he summoned all the generals of the empire to discuss the matter.

"What do you think?" the Emperor asked after announcing the news.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the best time for our empire to attack the Haotian Empire, now that Lin Batian is making trouble in Haotian Capital, he will definitely have no time to take care of the border, at this time, if our army attacks, we will definitely be able to take the Haotian Empire with a momentum like a bamboo. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, although Lin Batian is not on the border, but the Lin family army is still there, we must not be able to break through this line of defense so easily, but if the Xiangying Empire attacks at the same time as us, it will definitely be more secure. ”

"Well, when the third prince sneaked into the Haotian Empire's Prince's Mansion, he told me to wait for the opportunity, and I had already reached an agreement with the Xiangying Empire to annex the Haotian Empire as soon as the time was ripe. ”

"Now it should be the emperor's success, since this is the case, you will immediately clean up the army and set off, and I will inform the Xiangying Empire that this time it is bound to destroy the Haotian Empire. Cheng Feihu listened to the order. ”

"The end will be. ”

"The three armies of the Tiger Talisman of Ci'er, all the armies of the Huanyu Empire obey Er's orders, and the whole army presses in, this time it is bound to let the Haotian Empire fall into the abyss, and there must be no chance. ”

"The last general commanded. ”

On the fourth day of the search, Lin Feng got Lin Yi's report, at present, the Huanyu Empire and the Xiangying Empire are preparing to send a large army to suppress the border at the same time, and both countries have invested all their troops, please Lin Feng issue the next order. Lin Feng asked them to act at the right time to establish military merit and promotion, but everything was based on their own safety as the first task, and they were not allowed to act without 100% certainty.

"Report, the Huanyu Empire and the Xiangying Empire have raided our border, and the western border has suffered heavy losses, and it will be broken in a few days. The loss on the southern border was not large, but it could not last a few days. ”

The Haotian Empire was shocked, but he didn't expect that when Lin Batian was searching for the imperial capital, it happened that the two countries would attack together, if Lin Batian didn't come forward in person, the southern border would be dangerous at that time. So the emperor personally came forward to ask Lin Batian to put the country first and let him lead the troops to the battlefield as soon as possible.

Lin Batian didn't say much, as a soldier, he should take protecting his family and defending the country as his first task, so he sounded the drum of the generals again, and then set off for the southern battlefield. The western border was headed by the generals of the Xiang family, and the imperial capital was quiet for a while.

But just after Lin Batian set off, there was a wave of abuse in the imperial capital, blaming Lin Batian for using the army to do things for himself, so that the two countries could succeed and attack the Haotian Empire, the initiator of these insults was actually Lin Feng's acquaintance Shi Taichong, and the other entourage was the students of Zhiyuan Academy.

are all people who have no brains, and now during the crisis of the empire, they can't go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country, and they are still slandering the heroes who defend the country behind their backs, and they only dare to say when Lin Batian leaves the imperial capital, Lin Batian's search for the imperial capital is not the first day, if he stands up and speaks out on the first day, maybe he can win a good reputation, but now it can only attract a lot of abuse, of course, this abuse is not the same as Shi Taichong's abuse.
