Chapter 40

On the second day, Lin Beifan held court and appointed Chai Yuxin as the General of the Western Garrison, a third-rank military officer of the imperial court.

Taking over 100,000 new troops from An Lushan, she set off to attack the Shang Kingdom in the west.

Chai Yuxin, excited to receive the imperial decree, did not return home and headed straight for the battlefield.

The Grand General Chai Yulang, realizing the situation belatedly, was nearly faint with anger: Yuxin has never fought in a war, and shes a woman at that. How can she be appointed as a general and lead troops into battle? His Majesty is being foolish!

Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang sighed: No wonder she seemed a bit off when she came back yesterday; she had already discussed it with His Majesty!

Even if shes appointed as a general, she shouldnt be attacking the Shang Kingdom! the Grand General said in anguish.

Weve already offended the Mo Kingdom and the An Kingdom, and now were adding the Shang Kingdom to the list. Were making enemies on three fronts; who wages war like this?

Ive never seen such a way of waging war, but His Majesty wont listen to a word I say! Forget it, lets drink instead!

Lets drink, today I want to get thoroughly drunk!

The two elders once again sought solace in alcohol.

The matter quickly became known to outsiders, and everyone was impressed.

This foolish emperor has made another stupid move, actually appointing a vase woman to be a general, treating military affairs as childs play! (TLN: Vase woman, a woman who looks beautiful but lacks genuine depth.)

I think hes been blinded by lust once again, true to his foolish emperor nature!

Moreover, the Mo Kingdom is being attacked on three fronts. The opportunity is right before us, but instead of attacking Mo Kingdom, he goes after An Kingdom. Now, by attacking Shang Kingdom, hes managed to offend three more powerful nations at the same time!

Nobody would do this even if they want to die, is this something a normal person would do?

Ive already overestimated his stupidity, but he keeps breaking my upper limit!

Always imitated, never surpassed!

Bah! Who would dare to imitate him unless they want to die even faster?

Not only will the nation take off, but my own strength will also experience explosive growth!

Lin Beifan thought to himself with great joy.

Just at that moment, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Beifan turned his head to look, and there was Yaoyao.

For the past two months, Yaoyao had often come looking for Lin Beifan, but each time she appeared and disappeared unpredictably. Just like now, she had barged into the imperial palace without anyone announcing her arrival.

What are you thinking about, smiling so lewdly? Are you thinking about women? Yaoyao asked with a laugh while munching on a candied hawthorn stick.

Lin Beifan was surprised: How did you know?

You foolish emperor.

Yaoyao said with a wrinkled nose and a proud expression, The moment you stick out your butt, I know exactly what kind of shit youre going to take!

Very impressive!

Lin Beifan fell silent for a moment, then stood up, stuck out his butt, turned his head, and said, I am preparing to leave the palace! Now guess what kind of shit will I take!

Yaoyao:

Her face turned red in anger.

Angrily, she said, Do you want to die? Im a girl. How can you make such a joke?

Lin Beifan felt wronged, You were the one who said you could guess it. I just wanted you to prove it to me!

How dare you argue back? Yaoyao, fuming, pinched him with her little hand.

Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow

At that moment, Heshen came over with a worried and troubled expression.
