Chapter 126: Chapter 122: Sum Ancestor Climbs Out of the Imperial Mausoleum???_1

Translator: 549690339

For the ministers in the court, to what extent had the Red Ribbon Messenger’s military report become fake?

It had become so fake that they all dared not even open their mouths to question it!

This was the first time in the history of Great Sum that someone had dared to report such a fake military report.

If the Red Ribbon Messenger’s report had claimed they killed tens of thousands and defeated the Barbarian Tribe, right now the ministers of Right Minister Zhao Wenhan’s faction might have already started impeaching Lin Xiuming, accusing him of falsely reporting military achievements.

But to say that the North Prince had slain two hundred thousand barbarians…

With such an obviously fake report, did they even need to impeach him?

They didn’t even dare to speak.

This was not twenty thousand; it was two hundred thousand!

And just now the Red Ribbon Messenger also claimed that North City captured a hundred thousand barbarian soldiers.

What did this indicate? To a certain extent, it indicated that North City had annihilated the entire barbarian army of three hundred thousand marching south!

If the North Prince truly accomplished this, then his contribution would already be on par with the Sum Emperor, and it could even be said that he overshadowed his sovereign!

But was that possible?

What kind of person was the North Prince, and who in the Capital city didn’t know?

That weak, incapable, greedy, and lustful waste could lead the army of North City to annihilate a barbarian army of three hundred thousand?

What a joke!

Why didn’t the report say that Sum Ancestor climbed out from his mausoleum and killed two hundred thousand barbarians?

If you said Sum Ancestor climbed out from his tomb, perhaps some would believe this military report to be true.

At this moment, the entire court was silent; one could even hear people breathing. It took who knows how long before the court eunuch finally came to his senses. He stumbled over to the Red Ribbon Messenger, took the military report, and then proceeded to the Emperor, delivering the report to him.

At this moment, the Emperor’s face was dark, his complexion extremely unsightly.

This was the fakest military report he had ever heard.

He truly couldn’t believe how Lin Xiuming dared to send back such a false military report to the Capital city.

Even though Lin Xiuming’s father was the Prime Minister of the court, no one could save him for fabricating such a blatantly false report, not even if Lin Gaoyuan was the Prime Minister.

Lin Gaoyuan couldn’t only not save his son Lin Xiuming; rather, his entire household was likely to be implicated by Lin Xiuming’s actions.

Seeing the military report handed over by the eunuch, the Sum Emperor came back to his senses. He promptly picked up the report and directly started to read it.

Even if the report was false, he had to seriously read it; he wanted to see what Lin Xiuming was up to.

As the Emperor started to carefully read the report, all the ministers’ gazes were fixed on his face, eager to see his reaction.

At this moment, some people in the court had begun to take pleasure in Lin Xiuming’s misfortune. They had been pondering ways to take down Lin Gaoyuan and had not expected Lin Gaoyuan’s son to make a mistake so quickly.

And it was the mistake of falsely reporting military intelligence!

Most importantly, this was military information that couldn’t be faker!

This time, even if the Lin Family were not exterminated and their property confiscated, they would at least be exiled, right?

Using a Red Ribbon Messenger to report such a terrible fake piece of military intelligence, the Emperor simply could not overlook Lin Xiuming’s action.

Meanwhile.

Lin Gaoyuan in the great hall was already sweating profusely; he had never dreamed that his own son would make such a grave mistake.

Reporting false military intelligence was one thing, but to fabricate such an exaggerated report… how could anyone believe it? Was he taking everyone to be a fool?

Lin Gaoyuan couldn’t help but think, his son shouldn’t be that kind of person, so what was going on with this military report? Could it have been tampered with? Was someone out to harm the Lin Family?

This seemed not entirely impossible.

Once this thought occurred to him, Lin Gaoyuan immediately knelt down, “Your Majesty, I have failed in educating my son and am willing to accept punishment!”

In front of the Emperor, whether you are right or wrong, it’s better to kneel and admit your mistake first. Admitting wrong could give a glimmer of hope; but if you were stubborn, what awaited the Lin Family could only be a fate like that of the Duke Mu Residence.

At this moment, the Emperor paid no attention to Lin Gaoyuan. His gaze was still fixed on the military report in his hands. After flipping through the report for quite a while, the Emperor finally handed it to the eunuch and said, “Read it out loud!”

The eunuch nearby, trembling, took the military report and began to read aloud.

“On the seventh day of the twelfth month, I led a force of seventy thousand to Yan County, where the battle had already ended. The North Prince had fought bravely, commanding several tens of thousands of soldiers from North City to slay two hundred thousand of the barbarian tribe overnight and capture over a hundred thousand more. In Wanning Valley, barbarian corpses littered the fields, and their blood dyed the entire Wanning River red. As I learned, during the attack on Yan County, the Sky Wolf King of the Barbarians was shot dead by an arrow from the North Prince. Three days later, the North Prince will send someone to deliver the head of the Sky Wolf King to the Capital city.”

Lin Xiuming’s military report was rather simple, just describing the military achievements of North City.

As the eunuch finished reading the military report, the ministers in the court were instantly dumbfounded.

When they previously heard the Red Ribbon Messenger say that the North Prince led the soldiers of North City to kill two hundred thousand barbarians, they thought “the soldiers of North City” meant that the North Prince led the Imperial forces and then added North City’s troops, which could total over a hundred thousand.

But according to Lin Xiuming’s report, the Imperial army had not yet arrived at Yan County when the North Prince defeated the barbarian army of three hundred thousand with just North City’s troops???

That means the Imperial Army of seventy thousand didn’t even play a role???

Not even liberating the auxiliary forces???

What a joke!

The handful of troops from North City could defeat a barbarian army of three hundred thousand?

So Sum Ancestor has really risen from his mausoleum, is that it?
