In the Great Xia Dynasty, Lin Mo, who had transmigrated to become the son of the founding Grand Marshal, found his family suspected by the Empress. Their military power was stripped away, his fathe...
"With General Lin's military achievements, if he were still alive, he could have been enfeoffed as a king of a different surname in our Great Xia. Now that he has passed away at a young age, I intend to transfer this favor to you!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to repay your grace!"
Wei Maozhen nodded. "The land of Shu is vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles. I have decided to bestow this land of abundance upon Minister Lin. What do you all think?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo gave a cold laugh.
"Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them; such a reward is not as good as a swift execution!"
The land of Shu in the Great Xia Dynasty is exactly like the undeveloped western Shu of the earth. It is vast and sparsely populated, and is not only full of miasma, but also hot and humid all year round.
Moreover, the territory of this area is disputed.
The reason is that after Lin Wenzhong defeated the Feng clan chieftain in Sichuan, the latter led his remaining troops into the deep mountains and forests.
The roads to Shu are difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven. Forcing a pursuit would surely result in heavy losses, especially since this place is extremely poor.
So they stopped attacking.
To grant me control of Shu? Wouldn't that be pushing me, Lin Mo, to my doom?
The ministers looked at each other, their expressions varied.
Some felt indignant, while others wore ambiguous smiles.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say," the Minister of Revenue said, mustering his courage.
"Speak freely!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please forgive my bluntness, but this action was inappropriate! General Lin has expanded our territory and fought on the battlefield all his life, which has led to our dynasty's prosperity. How can his only son be enfeoffed in such a barren land?"
Your Majesty's suggestion is that the land of Jiangdong should be granted to Your Majesty, to demonstrate Your Majesty's boundless benevolence.
No sooner had the words been spoken than a man with a protruding belly stepped forward. “That is not true. The land of Shu is vast, which is why the young general can fully display his skills. Otherwise, wouldn’t the son of our Great Xia’s military genius be buried?”
This man was named Li Hu. He was once a deputy general under Lin Wenzhong. Later, he disagreed with Lin Wenzhong and had many conflicts with him.
After Lin Wenzhong's death, he rose rapidly in rank and became a Grand General in the Great Xia Dynasty.
It's regrettable that this person showed no gratitude whatsoever towards the Lin family and targeted them at every turn.
Li Hu's remarks immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other ministers, and the court was divided into two factions, who began to argue.
Just then, a majestic voice rang out.
"Alright, I have decided to grant the Shu region to Lin Mo. A sword is not sharp enough if it is not sharpened. Granting the Shu region will also be a way to temper Minister Lin!"
Lin Mo gave a cold laugh. "You've already made up your mind, what's there to discuss?"
Just as he was about to bow in gratitude, a strange voice suddenly reached his ears.

As messages flooded in, Lin Mo was extremely excited.
"I've been waiting for you!"
