In just three days, it occupied thirty-six counties of the imperial court, and there was a clear trend of further development.

The strength of the Lin family is far stronger than what Zhou Mu imagined. There are nearly twenty true people of Yangshen alone. Who knows if there are any hidden people behind their backs?

"This time, I made three mistakes for my father. The first mistake was to slander Yicheng Bo when I received the news and try to transfer the responsibility. If it succeeded later, it wouldn't be a big deal."

"The second mistake is that for the past three days, I have refused the province to interfere in this matter. It would be fine if the rebellion was successfully quelled, but it would obviously fail."

In order to prevent local governors from rebelling, the governor's rights are far less than as great as imagined.

The governor is nominally the boss of a province and a chief official. But in fact, he may not be able to order the governor of the state.

Regarding the situation in the states below, the governor only has the right to understand and the right to suggest. If the governor is skillful, the governor will listen to you. The governor has no reputation or ability, so he will not listen to you.

Therefore, the provincial governor refused to interfere in the affairs of the province and wanted to quell the rebellion with the strength of the state. This matter itself is not wrong.

However, the failure to quell the rebellion is a big mistake.

"As for the third mistake, it is to miscalculate the rebel Lin Yang and underestimate the Lin family's thousand-year accumulation."

"When making these three mistakes at the same time, even if the crime is not to die, someone will always bear the responsibility for Lin Yang's rebellion."

"Once I take responsibility, I will be over in my life. Even if I don't die, I will not be able to be the official and my family will be defeated. This is something I don't want to see."

"So, next I will commit suicide and take on everything with my own death. By then, the situation will be very different."

Upon hearing this, the youngest son burst into tears and was very sad. Seeing this, the governor of the Zhou Dynasty picked up the wine pot and drank it all with a heroic drink.

"Don't be sad, calm down and think carefully about what are the benefits of death for your father? Think about it carefully?" Until this moment, the governor of the state did not forget to teach his children.

After a moment, the youngest son calmed down and began to think seriously. Looking at this scene, Zhou Mu nodded slightly.

"First of all, it's my father himself, and this death penalty is gone. Death is the greatest, and the father has taken on all his responsibilities with his death. The subsequent officials, the remaining officials in the entire state of China, will be grateful to his father for this."

"Secondly, it's broken."

"The Lin family makes friends throughout Hebei Province, and no one knows how many of them are in the army and in the court."

"At this moment, the court is not trusting Huazhou officials. Huazhou officials are not trusting their colleagues and doubting each other. I have to say that the Lin family is still capable. This is a conspiracy. Although everyone knows, the situation is really messed up."

If it is a central official, who knows who are loyal ministers and treacherous officials in the entire Hebei Province?

Of course, there will definitely be methods of discernment. The court worshipers must be looking for flaws day and night at this moment. Maybe there are ways to distinguish between loyalty and treacherous, but the price is too high and it is not too late to popularize it, so it can be promoted at a low price.

However, it has to be admitted that before these identification methods were promoted, the entire Huazhou and even the Hebei Province were panic.

Many people who once had friendship with the Lin family were worried, worried that they would be the traitor of the Lin family. If so...

Therefore, now, many officials, officials who once had friendship with the Lin family, have temporarily resigned for political correctness and proved their innocence, and have gone to the Taoist temple to live in seclusion.

In their seclusion, they were loyal and nothing was wrong. However, the speed of the court's operation and handling various things was inevitably slower.

It can be said that the situation at this moment is very unfavorable to the court.

Of course, when the situation is about to change when the identification means are promoted throughout the province.

However, in just three days, the Lin family occupied thirty-six counties. Give them another half month, who knows what it will develop?

"The death of my father proves that the officials in Huazhou and even the officials in Hebei Province are all loyal ministers of the court and are trustworthy. In this way, those officials who have resigned have reason to return to their original positions and serve the court."

To put it bluntly, more than 99% of the retired officials do not want to resign. Who doesn’t want to be an official?

However, the situation is like this at this moment. If you don’t resign, how can you prove your innocence?

How to prove that your former friend of the Lin family has nothing to do with the Lin family?

Once the Zhou Mu died, these officials who had resigned had enough reason to resume their official positions.

For the sake of the court, I don’t care about my personal reputation, but also have to serve the court until I kill the rebels!

Of course, I have been so loyal to the court. Did the court restore my official position?

"In the end, after the thief was pacified, my father will not only not be considered guilty, but will instead be considered merit because of this matter. Perhaps, he will also enter the provincial-level Loyal Minister Temple and be ranked as a loyal minister, and will be remembered forever."

"I guess a title is indispensable. Even if I go to the Jinshi exam after the mourning period, I will also win. At least, I can still expect the end of the third grade."

"In addition to the favors of many officials in Huazhou and even Hebei Province, the future is promising. Similarly, after my father became a model of loyal ministers, I can also perfectly inherit a series of relationships such as my father's colleagues and my father's teachers."

"In this way, the family will be more prosperous. At the same time, they will also have titles and become nobles..."

Listening to his son's analysis, the governor of the state was very satisfied and his face was filled with a smile. The censor began to write suicide notes. To be precise, it was a suicide note.

Zhou Mu took out a dagger, cut it gently, and the index finger of his right hand bleed. Then, he found a piece of paper of good quality and began to write the last memorial of his life.

Chen XX risked his life to report...

I am a commoner...

I bowed my head again

minister……

After a moment, the bloody letter was written. Although it was a bloody letter, the calligraphy was still remarkable and did not reduce the panic at all.

"Younger, I'm going. After you go for your father, you must study hard. Even if you are awarded the title by the court, you should not be proud or high-profile. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Okay, tell me, how do you plan to revive the family?"

"After I was admitted to the Jinshi, I got married and came to Huazhou to be an official. I worked hard to get married and take concubines, give birth to more children and grandchildren, so that they could enjoy the best education..."

Time passed quickly between questions and answers. Everything was over, and it was finally time to end.

The Zhou Mu patted his young son reluctantly, and then tidied up his clothes and the Zhou Mu's official uniforms. After finishing up, he put them aside. Then he lowered his black hat and placed it on the table.

Wearing a bright red Jinshi costume, the provincial governor sat on the chair: "The happiest time in my life is not when I become a provincial governor, turning the world and controlling everything, but when I studied hard, passed the imperial examination, and met your mother."

After recalling for a while, the Zhou Mu stopped talking and passed away with a smile.
