[General Wei] Is this position important?
This can be seen from the violent reactions of Yuan Wei and others.
In the Han Dynasty, although the system was huge and officials at all levels were bloated, and Liu Hongzhang asked Zhao Zhong and others to sell their officials and win titles, there were many idle officials who were sitting on nothing but empty meals. However, some positions have always been vacant.
For example, before Lin Mu became the General of the Eastern Expedition, the Four Expeditions, Four Towns, Four Pings, Four Ans, and General Wei were all vacant.
Liu Hongzhang told them that no matter how ridiculous they were, they would not sell these positions.
The three ministers and nine ministers can be sold, but the military position has never been touched. This is the bottom line.
Liu Hongzhang asked them to understand these principles.
"Your Majesty, Lin Mu is a treacherous person. He cannot lead all the troops in the world to protect the country, otherwise his wings will be full and cause great disaster!!!" Yuan Wei strongly objected.
"Your Majesty, no more generals are allowed to guard you!" General He Jin also jumped out and said with an eager look on his face to dissuade him.
"His Majesty, the Holy Ming, has established the Eight Great Colonels of Xiyuan to command the garrison of Luoyang, the sacred capital. This should be the foundation for protecting the country. If we install more generals, it will be the same."
"This will lead to a confrontation between the two sides, unclear military positions, and confusing military orders. It will do no good to my big man!" He Jin said loudly and heartbroken.
"Yes! The general is right. The general and the Taiwei command the troops of the world. The eight great captains of Xiyuan guard the divine capital and dominate the world. The military strength is sufficient. If we add more generals to guard, wouldn't it cause chaos in the military power of both sides." The servant Huang Wan also stood up to dissuade him at this moment.
"Such treatment will not only waste countless money and manpower, but also cause military disasters. No way, Your Majesty!" Yang Biao, the son of former Taiwei and Taiwei Yang Ci, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, Lin Mu is a strange person. It is a great blessing to be promoted to General Zhengdong. Even if his achievements are shining, it is enough to express Your Majesty's grace to him. If he is promoted to another level, he will no longer have the virtue and ability to hold the position. General Wei has already It has been suspended for a long time and cannot be started easily again." Liu Yao, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, also stood up.
Recently, due to the war and some arrangements, he had not come to attend the court meeting for a long time, but he did not expect that Lin Mu had risen to such a high level, it was almost blinding him.
However, the absurd Liu Hong controls the power, so such absurd things are only expected.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!" Liu Yao saluted respectfully and bowed.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Later, Liu Yu and others from the Han clan also stood up to oppose.
In this way, in any case, except for Cai Yong, Xun Shuang and officials from the eunuch camp, everyone else, whether they are the gentry camp, the relatives camp, the neutral camp and the Han family clan, are strongly opposed to the so-called 'condemnation'!
The players who were watching the excitement felt that this NPC meeting was so absurd and illogical...
It feels like a fool is in power again and making arbitrary decisions...
Could this be the so-called faint king in Huaxia District?
Sure enough, he was so faint that he couldn't even see Lin Mu's wolfish ambition...
As if being pushed by the ministers, Cai Yong, Xun Shuang and others also stood up and remonstrated: "I beg your Majesty to withdraw the crime and remove him from the post of General Zhengdong."
In fact, they are also old foxes and know what Liu Hong meant by those words. That meant that he had already made a decision in his mind.
Even before Lin Mu came to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit, the two might have already communicated with each other.
So now they are just showing up.
The officials in the eunuch camp looked at Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong silently, waiting for instructions.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, standing next to Liu Hong, also looked confused.
Emperor Liu Hong never 'discussed' this matter with them at all, nor even mentioned it.
Even before Lin Mu arrived, Liu Hong was very supportive of Lin Mu's suppression and was ready to take Lin Mu's position as General of the Eastern Conquest back and make it vacant again.
I don’t know what happened, but my attitude changed again... Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
"My dear friends, I have considered merits and demerits, and the people of the world have also considered them, and you have also considered them in your hearts. Lin Mu, the former general who conquered the East, exhausted all his merits and made Yizhou prosperous, and expanded my great Han Dynasty. The territory of the dynasty is all merit. What you have done before can be compared to this?"
"Punish if you have a fault, reward if you have merit."
"In addition to the previous punishment, General Lin Mu is now ordered to lead the subordinate troops to Youzhou to suppress the alien rebellion." Liu Hong added.
Liu Hong directly drove Lin Mu to the border area to guard it.
This decision made many people settle down.
As long as General Wei Lin Mu is no longer in the sacred capital of Luoyang, everything will be easy.
Outside, General Wei and General Zhengdong felt pretty much the same.
However, Liu Hong’s next words caused another turmoil:
"To pass on my will, Lin Mu, the former [General of Zhengdong] and [Hou of Dongxiang], is temporarily appointed as the second-rank [General of Wei]. [Hou of Dongxiang] is promoted to [Marquis of Dongye County], and he can live in the county with millions of households!"
The ministers and players around the world looked at Liu Hong, waiting for his answer. However, Liu Hong's answer made everyone in an uproar again.
Damn...this is too much!
Before co-writing, I was promoted from General Zhengdong to General Wei. It was really a sin, but now it is a reward!
"Your Majesty, no!" At this moment, Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other officials from the eunuch camp who were thinking about his fate also stood up and objected.
Lin Mu has gradually touched their interests.
In the past, Lin Mu and the people behind him were ostensibly divided into their eunuch camp, and they all followed the eunuch camp in implementing some political powers.
In Liu Hong's heart, Lin Mu was also ranked lower than Shi Changshi. They are His Majesty's lackeys, His Majesty's swords, and His Majesty's confidants.
But now, everything has changed.
Lin Mu may become a sharper sword!
An unprecedented sense of crisis sprouted from their hearts.
"My dear friends, there is no need to say more. This reward is in line with the wishes of all the people in the world, not mine." Liu Hong said with finality.
Immediately, Liu Hong took out a prepared imperial edict from his arms and handed it to Zhang Rang.
After that, he didn't say anything else and left his seat, leaving people in an uproar.
The grand court meeting ended in such an anticlimactic manner?
Even the man in the game, Lin Mu, looked confused at the moment.
"Didn't Liu Hong secretly ask him to recruit troops to build an army to protect the country? Why did he say it out loud?" Lin Mu was not excited, but filled with doubts.
The previous meeting was thought to be a vaccination, and they planned to remove his post as General of the Eastern Conquest and let him take on the so-called powerless position of Yizhou Mu with an empty title. But secretly it is the authority of General Xingwei.
At that time, he could also feel Liu Hong's attitude.
But I don’t know what happened, but this guy changed his mind again and exposed it in front of the whole world.
They even bought one and got one free, and even the title was promoted to County Marquis!
Fortunately, he was not a Marquis of Guannei or Lieutenant in the county seat, otherwise, the ministers might have eaten Lin Mu directly.
In particular, county princes have the power to establish a country based on counties. The princes appointed their own retainers, such as the lord, the concubine, the minister, the Xima, and the pedestrians.
If so, maybe the great nobles would really do some terrible things.
However, Liu Hong's series of reactions have also touched the sensitive and fragile nerves of some people.
Many nobles had gloomy faces and looked at each other, as if they were communicating...
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were also gloomy and uncertain.
Without saying anything more, Zhang Rang came to Lin Mu with the imperial edict and said with a smile: "Congratulations to General Wei Lin Mu! From now on, he will be called Lin Wei Gong, Lin Mu Bo, and Lin County Marquis!"
"It's just your Majesty's kindness. Thank you very much, Lord Zhang. I will send you a big gift later." Lin Mu humbly accepted the imperial edict and said.
Although Lin Mu has grown up, he has always been quite polite to Zhang Rang and others. He will give them generous gifts during New Years, festivals and even any happy events.
This expenditure is not small. Chang Yin often complains about this, saying that he won't give it away because they can't contribute anyway.
Lin Mu just smiled and said, "Left hand goes out, right hand goes in, no need to worry."
Zhang Rang took a deep look at the imperial edict in Lin Mu's hand and smiled helplessly.
Even the imperial edict for the reward was prepared, which shows how determined Liu Hong is.
You know, the imperial edict was basically drafted by their ten regular attendants, and Liu Hong stamped it with the imperial seal.
Now that even this is covered with them, it can be seen how exaggerated the wind direction has become.
"Buzz!" At this moment, after Lin Mu received the imperial edict, a red dragon suddenly rose from the imperial edict and penetrated directly into Lin Mu's body.
"Blessings from the red dragon!!! It's the sacred beast of the country!" When Yuan Kai, Lu Zhi and others saw this, their expressions suddenly changed.
The red dragon, the sacred beast that governs the country and is not very involved in political affairs, has also come to an end?
Many nobles frowned, with gloomy expressions on their faces.
