"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Just when the wind direction above the court changed, Li Ai gathered his thoughts and walked out slowly.

The ministers standing behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Prime Minister Li, please speak."

Yin Yuran watched Li Ai stand up, her heart skipped a beat, and she said coldly.

"Your Majesty, this great victory actually has nothing to do with this little eunuch."

Lin Bei's eyes widened and he looked at Li Ai's back, wishing he could shout a friend.

That’s right!

This time I won and had a rough relationship with him.

"Oh? Why did Prime Minister Li say this?"

Yin Yuran's eyes narrowed, the air pressure around him decreased, and the faint power of the dragon appeared.

Li Ai was not afraid at all and continued calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't believe that a personal eunuch has such ability to plan such a big picture."

"As for this great victory, the Prime Minister actually sent people to the battlefield to cut off the Tatar army's support and make the Tatar army unable to follow up, so they retreated in embarrassment. If not for this, I think General Lin's trip would not have been so smooth. ."

Li Ai's words caused an uproar in the court.

"I didn't expect that Prime Minister Li would take action."

"No wonder this time it went so well, that's why."

"Prime Minister Li is worthy of being the Prime Minister of Dashang, and he is able to be so far-sighted."

The officials standing in Li Ai's party suddenly had smiles on their faces.

On the dragon chair, Yin Yuran tightened his expression when he heard the words. He tapped his slender fingers and asked in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Li, what you said is true? If you deceive me, even if you are the prime minister, I will not forgive you lightly." you."

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty."

Li Ai smiled calmly, not showing the slightest panic.

There was sudden silence in the main hall.

Lin Bei looked at the silent crowd, blinked his eyes, and looked expectantly at the emperor above.

"Fart! Li Ai, don't think that just because you are the Prime Minister, you can talk nonsense!"

At this moment, an angry voice sounded.

Zhou Chongxing's figure appeared in the court hall.

Although he was only wearing the official uniform worn by a military commander, he was constantly exuding heavy murderous intent.

"Your Majesty! The victory of this battle was won by General Lin and General Lin together, not by some people who only know how to talk."

An astonishing aura emanated from him, immediately causing the expressions of many officials and ministers present to change.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in this battle, the Dashang army led by General Lin was invincible. Even if the Tatar army is well-supplied, it is no match for us."

Ah Yue also stepped into the hall, and a cold voice sounded.

Lin Bei looked at the two people who couldn't kneel down, his eyes full of surprise.

Let me go, when did Zhou Chongxing come back? Isn’t he still at the border?

Why do you show up every critical moment? I did something to make you trust me. Can't I change it?

And little girl Ah Yue, I know you mean well, but I don’t need it. Thank you. I will definitely let you go next time!

Lin Bei appeared calm and calm on the outside, but in his heart he felt despair again.

"No need to say any more."

Lin Bei looked at the emperor and nodded, knowing that he could not sit still and wait for death at this time. He slowly stood up and said in a deep voice under the surprised eyes of everyone.

"Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Li said about this battle is true. Prime Minister Li really has the greatest contribution in being able to recapture these cities this time."

"General Lin!"

Zhou Chongxing and Ah Yue spoke anxiously.

In their eyes, Lin Bei's back revealed infinite loneliness.

Lin Bei turned his back to the two of them and slowly raised his hand. The two of them gritted their teeth and said nothing in the end.

Li Ai, who was standing on the opposite side of him, heard this and looked at Lin Bei with eyes that gradually became complicated.

"In this battle, not only did I fail to make any contribution, but I acted willfully and almost led to the Great Shang army being leaderless and ultimately defeated. I hope Your Majesty can punish me severely."

Lin Bei didn't hear the sound coming from behind him, he felt relieved, and then quickly hit the railway while it was hot.

The ministers in the court looked at Lin Bei who did not refute, but took the initiative to seek punishment. Their minds were unable to react for a moment.

After a few breaths, they looked at Lin Bei, who had a heavy look on his face, with expressions of great astonishment.

And Li Ai also became a little confused.

What the hell was this little eunuch doing? He actually followed his words. Why did he feel that something was wrong more and more?

"In addition, the last time I killed someone in the court, I was punished for both crimes. If I don't die, all the future ministers of Dashang will be like me and unable to establish rules. Wouldn't it be a sign of ruin?"

Lin Bei said seriously.

"I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

As soon as he said it, it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

They looked at the lonely figure in the court and pursed their lips.

The ministers who were not influenced by Li Ai's party burst into tears. In their hearts, the scene before them would always be remembered in their hearts.

How big of a mind do you have to be able to say the word "condemn"?

The young man in front of him must have done this for Dashang's future.

"Your Majesty, since General Lin has confessed his crime, let him be convicted as he said."

After a brief moment of doubt, Li Ai raised a sneer on his lips.

Well, since Lin Bei took the initiative to seek death, he didn't want to waste his time. It would be great if His Majesty could kill him.

However, Lin Bei was nominally the leader of this battle, and he indeed made a contribution.

He had to admit that Lin Bei's empty city strategy really surprised him.

"What if I must reward General Yu Lin?"

"Although Lin Bei was just my personal eunuch before, he led our Dashang to retake several cities. If I kill General Lin now, what will the officers and soldiers of Dashang think of me."

"What will the world think of me?"

Yin Yuran remained silent, and finally said with an ugly expression.

Lin Bei had helped her so much this time, and she loved him so much that she couldn't just kill him.

When Lin Bei heard this sentence, he immediately knew that this time the plan was going to fail again.

He felt regretful, but after thinking about it carefully, what the emperor said was indeed correct.

After standing there for a long time, he simply sat down in the middle of the hall and quietly waited for the results.

"What your Majesty said makes sense."

Li Ai responded calmly.

"However, I believe that this is not the time to reward General Lin."

"General Lin was so eager for quick success that he almost caused the defeat of the crusade. He also killed all the court officials in front of the court officials and His Majesty. There was no punishment. How could the big business people be silenced?"

"If General Lin is really capable, he will definitely be able to obtain greater achievements in the future, and he will be legitimately rewarded by His Majesty."

Li Ai had a smile like an old fox on his face.

"Prime Minister Li is right."

"I second the proposal!"

Suddenly, many ministers and officials agreed with Li Ai's statement.
