Lin Bochang looked like a child from a poor family who was going to attend a very important occasion, and then he carefully and carefully took care of himself clean and simple.

The excitement on his face was hard to hide. It seemed like he was smiling, but also excited, and even more nervous.

Lin Bochang's current mood may be like knocking over a seasoning bottle, with all kinds of tastes flooding into his heart...

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Bochang followed the footsteps of the two Jin Wu guards and walked to the throne of Emperor Chen.

The two Jinwu guards completed their tasks and returned to their original positions, while Lin Bochang excitedly saluted the emperor and his ministers: "Lin Bochang, a common man, pays homage to your majesty!"

There seemed to be a kind of excitement that could not be concealed in Lin Bochang's voice, which could also be said to be a kind of panic.

However, he handled it very well. Although he was excited, he could at least speak clearly and did not appear to be in the situation where he was so frightened that he couldn't speak when he saw the emperor.

"No gifts, stay on your own terms!"

Chen Huang sat firmly on the throne and stretched out his hands to support him. Although Chen Huang was excited, his face was expressionless and he did not show any excitement at all.

Lin Bochang thanked Emperor Chen, stood up and glanced at the emperor on the throne, then lowered his head, not daring to look further.

"Your name is Lin Bochang? Raise your head and let me take a good look."

"Your Majesty, the common man is Lin Bochang!" Lin Bochang had restrained his excitement and his voice was as usual.

It's just that... after Zhu Xiuyuan heard Chen Huang's words, "Raise your head and let me take a look," he felt something was wrong.

The skin all over his body was numb, as if goosebumps were about to "break out of his skin".

I remember that when Zhu Xiuyuan met Chen Huang, he also said this.

At that time, Zhu Xiuyuan's heart was trembling, and he almost thought that Chen Huang's orientation was not normal.

But when he saw that Emperor Chen was sitting on the chair with Concubine You in his arms, he gave up that idea...

Even though he knew that Emperor Chen had no problem, his words still made Zhu Xiuyuan feel cold.

While Zhu Xiuyuan was excited, Chen Huang was looking at Lin Bochang carefully.

From appearance and figure to clothing and temperament, Chen Huang looked at everything very carefully.

"Haha, good, good, it turns out that heroes are born in youth! I saw your performance on the school field just now. Uncle Zhongshan also spoke very highly of you and thought you were a strong general!

"Chen Huang said with a smile.

Lin Bochang was naturally humble and kept his posture very low, but without losing a sense of arrogance, neither humble nor overbearing.

Then, as Zhu Xiuyuan expected, Chen Huang asked about Lin Bochang's family affairs.

Lin Bochang naturally answered truthfully, telling the story of how his father had been an official and became the general of Yulinwei.

When Lin Bochang was playing the match in front of the king, no one noticed that Li Zhong, the Prime Minister of the State, who had always remained motionless, and the Minister of War had secretly exchanged glances.

Zhu Xiuyuan concentrated on listening to Lin Bochang's words, but he didn't find anything.

After Lin Bochang finished speaking, Emperor Chen was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Since you come from a family of military generals and are the son of General Yulinwei, although you have been deprived of hereditary power, your art is extraordinary, why didn't you join the army as soon as possible?"

, serve the country and inherit the hereditary power of your fathers?"

As soon as Chen Huang said these words, everyone present did not change at all.

Including the Minister of War, because none of them knew that Lin Bochang had ever gone to the Ministry of War to seek employment.

Only Zhu Xiuyuan stared at the Minister of the Ministry of War secretly. When Lin Bochang mentioned this matter, I wonder what Emperor Chen would think?

Lin Bochang, like that hidden gem in the ocean, was originally a fierce general, and his potential was comparable to that of King Zhongshan.

As a result, due to various reasons, he was not allowed to be reused by the court...

This is Chen Guo’s loss!

Moreover, Emperor Chen is now forming the Divine Thunder Army to increase the combat effectiveness of Chen's army, so Emperor Chen now attaches great importance to the talents of such fierce generals.

At this time, if anyone hinders his big plan, it will be on his knife edge...

At that moment, Lin Bochang wasted no time and told the story that he had gone to Beijing a few months ago and planned to get a job at the Ministry of War. Before leaving Beijing, he saw the martial arts notice posted at the city gate...

"Where is the Minister of War?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chen became angry.

The tone of his words has changed, and anyone who is not deaf can hear it.

By this time, most of the officials had already reacted.

It turned out that Lin Bochang, who was personally received by Emperor Chen, came to participate in the military examination because he was rejected by the Ministry of War.

I'm afraid the people in the Ministry of War would never have dreamed that the person they rejected at the beginning would actually shine in the martial arts!

Now listening to Chen Huang's tone, his majesty was icy cold, and all the ministers vaguely guessed something.

Then they all looked at the Minister of War with pitiful eyes.

Although the ministers who eat melons eat melons, they are not stupid. When the military examination officially started today, because some candidates could not even ride a horse, the Minister of War once ridiculed him...

This martial arts move was approved by Emperor Chen!

The Minister of War ridiculed the military examination and Zhu Xiuyuan, which was actually a mockery of Emperor Chen.

All the ministers thought about it and suddenly realized that Emperor Chen's move must be an opportunity to retaliate against the Minister of War, because this Emperor Chen was not a wise king at all.

The Minister of War had obviously thought of this as well.

Everyone didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. Anyway, they just saw him staggering towards him and saying goodbye: "Your Majesty, I don't know that Lin Bochang went to the Ministry of War to seek a position. If you know that he is the heir of the former General Yu Linwei, I will."

It should definitely be reused..."

"You don't know?"

Emperor Chen sat firmly on the throne. Although there was no special expression on his face, his tone was very unpleasant.

"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you almost lost a powerful general to the imperial court just because of your ignorance! My army in Chen State is weak, far inferior to that of Yan State and Liang State. The reason for this is all caused by a person like you who is a vegetarian!"

Emperor Chen must have his iron hat on. How can the Minister of War resist it?

Today's land of China is divided into three kingdoms: Liang, Yan, and Chen. The Chen Kingdom is located in the prosperous area south of the Yangtze River. Although the court is rich, the military force is not.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Guo was forced to pay tribute to Liang Guo every year in order to obtain Liang Guo's care and help deter Yan Guo and other forces...

This is considered to be Chen Guo's shame!

Now, Emperor Chen actually attributed the root cause of the shame to the Minister of War!

God, even if the Minister of War's head was made of iron, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Therefore, the Minister of War's feet weakened and he knelt down: "I am guilty, please punish me!"

"You have been serving as Minister of War for more than ten years, right?"

"Your Majesty, I have been working diligently for twelve years since I became Minister of War!"

"Humph! Are you working hard?" Chen Huang was annoyed, "If you continue to work hard, my country, Chen, will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"

"Your Majesty, I will die, but I dare not..." Minister of the Ministry of War kowtowed as if pounding garlic.

This scene fell in the eyes of the melon-eating ministers, and they couldn't help but feel sad, and their hearts felt cold... Emperor Chen was running to take his life!

The Minister of War, indeed, fell on Emperor Chen's sword.

All the ministers thought that if the Minister of War had not spoken out to ridicule the martial arts and ridiculed Uncle Jiang Cheng, the consequences of this incident would not have been so serious.

At this time, Li Zhong, the Prime Minister of the country who had always remained unmoved, stepped forward and took the initiative to intercede for the Minister of War and excuse him.

As the Prime Minister of the country, Li Zhong was the head of all civil officials, and the Minister of War was considered his subordinate.

It is completely normal for a superior to plead for excuses from his subordinates.

Li Zhong's appeal among civil servants was strong. As soon as he opened his mouth, people immediately followed him. In an instant, dozens of people lined up in the temporary court to beg for mercy.

Li Zhong interceded for Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Zhu Xiuyuan, Chen Huang, and the military attachés did not find it strange.

But King Jinling was secretly dissatisfied.

Thinking back to yesterday, he "led" a group of civil and military officials to criticize Uncle Jiang Cheng and the martial arts, but in the end, Li Zhong, the grandfather of the King of Jinling, never said a word or even moved.

It would be embarrassing for him to be the King of Jinling in the court.

But now, for the sake of the Minister of War, Li Zhong actually took the initiative to plead for mercy and excuse...

King Jinling looked at this scene with an indescribable feeling in his heart...

As the King of Jinling, he is the one who will seize the crown prince position in the future, and he is also Li Zhong's grandson... But such a him is not as good as a minister of the Ministry of War...

King Jinling stared at Li Zhong's back from behind, with resentment shining in his eyes.

"Since the Prime Minister and other ministers are interceding on your behalf, I think you are the first offender, so I will absolve you of the crime. I will only fine you a salary of one year as a warning. If this happens again in the future, I will definitely not be lenient!"

Chen Huang made the final decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, thank you very much..." The Minister of the Ministry of War was naturally full of surprises. After walking around the gate of hell, he was sweating all over.

Seeing Emperor Chen's handling of the situation, all the ministers and Zhu Xiuyuan thought that the matter was over.

However, two days later, news came out in Beijing that the Minister of War was found out by Lord Shao Sikou and had committed the crime of beheading. He was a heinous crime and was executed by his entire family...

This is all for later, so let’s skip it for now.
To be continued...
