In the Jinluan Palace, the ministers did not dare to come out, this was the first time that the emperor had been angry in front of the courtiers since he ascended the throne.

"All the examination papers of this subject, from the fixed curls to the sealed papers, are not in the hands of Lin Fuguo, how can there be favoritism? And the reading of the file is supervised by me personally, are you saying that I am also cheating?! Or do I raise you to see the wind and the rain, and only know how to frame loyalty?! ”

The official who was thrown in the face by the emperor was so frightened that he trembled, but he bit his lip and didn't say a word wrong.

As for the Manchu ministers, they were all in an uproar.

A chief invigilator didn't participate in the scientific examination at all, who would have thought of this, and what kind of examiner is this?!

But when the emperor said this, naturally no one dared to question the matter of the two sons of the Lin family, and the official who touched the emperor's bad head was demoted by three levels in a row and released as an official. And along with this fire, several five or six officials who were originally involved in misconduct or greedy ink were set on fire together, and they were all investigated and dealt with by the emperor's dismissal, and demoted and released.

The resolute move made the ministers constantly guess the emperor's thoughts.

The autumn is over, and next year's spring will be followed by the palace test, when there will be a group of talented people into the court as officials, and everyone thinks that the emperor is moving the position for the newcomer.

As a result, the lower-ranking Beijing officials are even more sandwiched by their tails, for fear that they will be impeached and lose their officials on the cusp of the limelight, and will be slapped to death on the beach by the back waves.

The emperor personally quelled the rumors of fraud, and the most depressed person was Cao Muzhi.

The first thing that came to his mind was that the speaker was not intended to be instigated by him at all, but it was enough to make the emperor think of him.

He never thought that the emperor would not know about Lin Haoqi's 'smell', but he dared to do it because he knew that the emperor was happy to see him fight with Lin Lao Fox.

Therefore, as long as there is impeachment and fraud in the court, it will inevitably make the emperor feel that he has nothing to do with him.

But this time it must be that Mrs. Lin took revenge for her grandson's 'bad position', and somehow provoked his subordinates to speak of the official, I have to say that he lost his husband and lost his soldiers, and he didn't ask for any benefits.

But no matter how unconvinced he was, he had to admit that the young people of the Lin family had real talent and hard work in the past two years, especially Lin Haoqi was not affected by the 'stinky position'. If he is allowed to get the top three in the spring festival, the emperor will definitely entrust this young man with a heavy responsibility.

Come to think of it. Cao Muzhi was jealous of Old Lady Lin again, and never thought that he could be so difficult.

After the autumn, the Lin family returned to their usual life.

The brothers continued to study in Mozhu Juwen, preparing for the next spring festival.

Lin Wanwan is still busy with trivial matters in Shangshu Mansion. When he was free, he ran to the general's mansion and began to sew the winter clothes of his brother and sweetheart. Lin Hongzhi still only goes up and down, and when he returns home, he teases his youngest son, and he is very satisfied with his current life.

On the contrary, the family is that Old Lady Lin is becoming more and more invisible, and even Lin Wanwan, who often sticks to him, can only see him returning home with fatigue after nightfall.

For this. Lin Wanwan had asked him many times what the old man was busy with, but he was sent away by a sentence that still needed to be verified.

But Lin Wanwan knew that what he was investigating must be about his grandmother, so he didn't ask more, but was more attentive in eating, thinking about taking care of his old man's body so that he wouldn't be too distracted and uncomfortable.

Before I knew it, it was October, and every four good news had been reported in the northwest, and Lin Wanwan also received a five-page letter from Su Zhaoheng.

The letter is used to report good news and not bad news, only saying that he has been doing very well recently, and the war is smooth. Conquering four more cities will inevitably force the Tartars to face each other.

Speaking of head-to-head confrontation, Lin Wanwan's worries are even worse, it should be said that the closer to the end of the year, the more uneasy she feels in her heart.

In his previous life, Su Zhaoheng was injured in Layue, and he had to return to Beijing in the first month, according to the progress of the war, maybe this is what he said when he was fighting with the Tartar State?

Lin Guanwan couldn't talk to anyone no matter how anxious she was, so she could only ask again and again in her reply, and made it clear that Su Zhaoheng might be attacked.

It was when she wanted to hand over the reply letter to Xing'er to send it, and on this day, the old lady Lin who was resting sent someone to look for her.

Put down the matter of replying. Lin Wanwan simply dressed up and went to Mozhuju.

Old lady Lin still likes to deal with affairs in a small building on the second floor, and when she went upstairs, she saw him sitting in front of the bookcase as always, and between his eyebrows was the contemplation that had not melted away these days.

"Grandfather, are you looking for me?" Salute and step forward. Lin Wanwan stood beside the table.

Old lady Lin put down the pen in her hand, motioned for her to sit down by the window, and then followed.

"Count the days, when that kid came to the letter, did he tell you what the situation was on the front line?"

Surprised that the old man was so accurate, Lin Wanwan replied truthfully: "It must be good news and not bad news." And I'm a little woman, how can he talk to me too much. ”

Old Lady Lin smiled, "Also, according to this trend, I'm afraid it's not far from a big victory." ”

As soon as she talked about the war, Lin Wanwan felt dull in her heart and diverted the topic. "Grandfather must not have asked me only about this."

Only then did Mrs. Lin take out the sealed letter from her sleeve and hand it to her.

"Piggyback on this when you reply."

"...... this?"

Feeling the thickness of the letter, to say the least, it was three pages, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but be curious.

Although her grandfather was not prejudiced against Su Zhaoheng, he might not have such things to say to him, what is this content?

Old Mrs. Lin didn't answer, but just asked a question that didn't matter: "That kid's birthday in early August?" ”

Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment before nodding.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin's eyebrows appeared with that contemplative look again, and Lin Wanwan became more and more inexplicable.

When it comes to birthdays, she also thinks that the end of October is also the birthday of the elderly, so she can't help but ask for advice on how to do it.

"It's not a whole life, and I may not have had a birthday for a long time, so it's normal in the house that day, so there's no need to be deliberate." Old Lady Lin said lightly without care.

Since he didn't have his wife's birthday, he always felt that something was missing, and maybe no one could join hands with him until he grew old.

Lin Wanwan agreed, but in her heart she felt that Old Lady Lin was too widowed, thinking about how to not go against his wishes at that time, so as to make him happy.

On the day of Mrs. Lin's birthday, although the Lin family did not let out a little rumor, they couldn't stand the people who had a heart.

Gift-givers are in constant stream from the morning.

Lin Wanwan has been taking care of the affairs of the house these days, and she is already very familiar with the families that Mrs. Lin is familiar with, except for the congratulatory gifts of these families, the gifts sent by other people are all put aside. Prepare to return another day with an equal amount of gifts. Maintain the integrity of her grandfather.

Due to the usual instructions before, the Lin family was quiet except for receiving gifts.

Lin Wanwan thought about it and ordered the kitchen to make a banquet at noon, and the east and west mansions got together to eat, which meant to celebrate the birthday with Mrs. Lin.

Knowing that this is the filial piety of the granddaughter. Mrs. Lin rarely went to Yan Sù and had a home-cooked birthday banquet with her children and grandchildren.

In the evening, Lin Guanwan stayed in Mozhu until Mrs. Lin usually used the time for supper, and went to the small kitchen to make a bowl of longevity noodles and sent it to Mrs. Lin.

Picking up noodles of different thicknesses with chopsticks, Mrs. Lin kept holding back a smile. I don't dislike this bowl of salt with too much longevity noodles, and I eat a clean hula for face.

Lin Wanwan, who was still embarrassed by the appearance of noodles, also smiled when she saw this, cleaned up the empty bowls, and happily went back to the yard to rest.

That night, Mrs. Lin went back and forth four times for the night, and the reason was that she drank too much water......

In the winter, the capital is getting colder and colder day by day.

Lin Wanwan was bitter in summer and cold, and wore a thick jacket with a fur collar in October.

The snow-white rabbit fur circled around her neck, making her facial features more and more delicate and delicate. The skin is white and delicate, as bright as jade. Xu Shi had to make a few jokes every time he saw her, saying that the threshold of Nian Shangshu's Mansion should be broken, and he would rush to propose marriage.

Lin Wanwan was not shy when she listened, she just pursed her lips and smiled, thinking in her heart that she would not marry anyone who squatted at the door of the mansion, she would just wait for Su Zhaoheng to come back.

is also in response to Mrs. Lin's words, in just one month, the good news in the northwest has been frequent, and the war ahead has reached the most important moment.

In the border city of the Northwest Tartar Kingdom, I heard that the emperor had rewarded the two armies again. and specially issued a decree to praise Su Zhaoheng, and Fan Yi, who was drinking to keep warm, just sneered. "It's just a strong son, and let's see how long he can be crossed."

There are also two cities.

When the Xiaoyu army has all penetrated into the planned place, it will not be them who will be in the limelight in this battle!

Fan Yi hooked up with King Rui and became adulterous. led Su Zhaoheng's father and son into danger step by step.

When the two good news came back from the northwest, the second snow had fallen in Beijing, and Lin Wanwan also received a letter from Su Zhaoheng saying that the return date was coming soon, and she was so happy that she only held the letter all night.

However, on the fourth day of the good news, the first report of the defeat in the Tartar Kingdom was rushed to the palace by thousands of miles.

The 70,000 troops of the Xiaoyu battalion were trapped in the Curtain City by the 150,000 troops that suddenly appeared from the Tartar State. The new crossbow was actually lost seventy percent in this battle, the curtain city was broken, and the Xiaoyu battalion had to fight a bloody way to retreat to the pattern city. Unexpectedly, the three princes who led the army of the Tatar State discovered their intentions, and forced the Xiaoyu army to retreat in two groups, among which the whereabouts of the 10,000 soldiers led by Su Zhaoheng to lure the enemy army are unknown.

On the second day, the news of the destruction of the Wencheng also came back again, and the Marquis of Wusu led the soldiers to retreat again and again, retreating to the source city that formed a triangle with the two cities of the curtain and the pattern, and could not escape from the state of being surrounded. Because the two cities of Mu and Wen were recaptured by the Tartar State, Fan Yi and the defenders who stayed behind in the camp were unable to break through the counter-siege for a while.

The strength and morale of the troops are not as good as that of the Tartar State, and the ministers have heard of such a war situation, and they have all decided that the battle will be lost, and they have asked the emperor to send reinforcements immediately, otherwise after the Tartar State encircles and destroys the Xiaoyu camp, it will wave its troops to the north, and the Dayong River and Mountain will be in danger.

In addition, Xiao Yujun's deputy general wrote a letter to control the three major crimes of Wusu Hou, the first crime was stubborn and self-serving, allowing his son to march only according to his ideas, the second crime was the suspicion of fleeing in fear of war, and the third crime was that the city was broken and there was a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy.

This reference caused an uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and many ministers took this opportunity to ask the emperor to first issue an order to remove the commander of the Marquis of Wusu and withdraw the commander's order.

The emperor's face was pale, and he didn't know whether it was because of the reference or the defeat, but in the end, he did not send the minister's order.

Lin Wanwan only learned about Su Zhaoheng's defeat and disappearance on the third day, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, and she fainted in shock.

At this time, above the court, there was a battle of words among the ministers.

Seven or eight out of ten courtiers wrote to take back the Marquis of Wusu's marquis' power, turn it into the command of the army of Fan Yi, the general of the northwest, and then ask for reinforcements to go to relieve the siege.

The emperor was so noisy that he had a headache, and when he glanced at the old lady Lin, whose face was as pale as water, his heart moved, and he asked loudly: "What does Lin Fuguo think about this matter." ”

Old lady Lin was wandering too empty at the moment, full of irrelevant things, and her indifferent face was obviously stunned, and she looked at the emperor sitting on the high seat in confusion.

The minister he valued very seriously was actually in a daze in the court, and the emperor was also angry with his demeanor, and asked again: "The Marquis of Wusu is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the ministers want to take over the command and reinforce the northwest, what do you think of this matter." ”

It turned out that he was talking about this, and Mrs. Lin suddenly sighed.

"Your Majesty, reinforcements are feasible, but there is no rush to ......"

"How can you not be in a hurry, now that the 150,000 army is pressing the border, our country's land will be trampled by the Tartar State every minute." Guo Zhengqi, the secretary of the military department, interrupted, glaring angrily as if he was besieged.

Old Lady Lin glanced sideways at him and sneered, "The army is pressing? Lord Guo, on the map of your home, the source city of the Tatar Kingdom is the Dayong border city? You're not old-eyed, are you? ”

"Lin Fuguo's words are also wrong, Yuancheng is already in my country's bag, and it should be counted as my country's territory, Guo Shangshu's words are not wrong." Cao Muzhi raised his eyelids and threw a sentence that was neither salty nor light.

Old Lady Lin laughed, "If Source City is in our country's bag, why can it trap an army of 70,000?" You people want to be a little clearer, okay? It's a major city on the border of the Tartar Kingdom, if it's so good, it's going to be circled, and what do you think of the soldiers who have always died in that place in my dynasty? Incompetent? You are not afraid of chilling the hearts of the generals when you say this!! ”

At the end of the sentence, Old Lady Lin's face became heavy, and the light in her eyes swept like a sharp sword over the group of ministers behind her. "A group of people who can only talk on paper and shrink in a peaceful place, actually write a letter to take over the command? Still suspect that Wusu Hou collaborated with the enemy?! 70,000 soldiers charged into battle for the country, throwing their blood and spilling their heads, to keep your homeland safe, and you actually heard the words of a general to chill their hearts like this? If Marquis Wusu wants to rebel, he will be forced to rebel by you! Whose blood do you think you are standing in the place where you are standing was once stained?! A hundred years ago, there was no Su family, are you now ashamed to ask for power to take power?! ”

"Are you ashamed in your hearts, are you ashamed?!" Old Lady Lin's face was calm, but her voice echoed in the hall like a drum, shocking the ministers with red faces and red ears and red heads.

The emperor on the high seat was also moved when he heard it, the old lady Lin was not false, although the Su family was a rising star in the past hundred years, they really used their blood and sweat to stabilize the Dayong country. The entire second room of the Su family is also buried in the northwest, and now only a lonely bloodline remains, and I am afraid that these things will be forgotten by these ministers who enjoy a prosperous life.

Command power?

Can't take it!

If you really accept the handsome power, as Lin Lao Fox said, it is to completely chill the heart of Marquis Wu Su and force the Xiaoyu army to rebel! That lieutenant must have a problem!

The emperor thought, his heart palpitated for a while, how could he have neglected this? Was the war going too smoothly and made him lose his normal heart, or was it ......

The emperor squinted slightly, and his unangry gaze swept over the ministers under the ranks, swept past the people who had previously seconded the proposal, and finally fixed on King Rui, who had lifted the ban and returned to the dynasty. (To be continued.) )
