Chapter 228: Retarded

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Tartar State is a trustless villain who has done a sneak attack during the peace talks, and I Dayong should go straight down! To protect the prestige of the country! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought he had to think twice. A protracted campaign will deplete the treasury, and the Tartars are still in the cold winter period, so it will take twice as much energy for the attacking side as before, so this matter will have to be considered in the long run. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

A war report, the Manchu civil and military began to put forward various ideas, but in a moment, you and I will say a word.

There were two factions between the battle and the wait-and-see, and there were endless arguments.

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair, and the ministers with ears full of ears thought... The minister thought that it was like a hundred flies circling around his ears, and he was annoyed.

Every time these ministers quarrel like shrews, they think they are justified, and they want to use a piece of evidence to overwhelm the other party so that the other party has nothing to say.

"Don't think he thinks it's what he thinks!" The emperor really had a headache, and he patted the dragon chair and stopped it in a deep voice. "With just one mouth, I think that you should sue me for fighting or not fighting! I don't want to end up fighting or not fighting, and then I'll have to give you time to get the charter! ”

The emperor had a sign of anger, and the red-faced ministers immediately shut up, and stood in their positions with their hands down, as if they had not had any quarrel.

Not again.

The emperor frowned as he looked at a group of ministers who immediately pretended to be dead when they saw something wrong. "Bingbu Shangshu, you come!"

The named military department Shangshu came out of the ranks, with a hesitant expression. "Your Majesty, Your Minister...... I thought..."

I thought you were saying it! The emperor was so anxious by him that he was so anxious, didn't he instigate his subordinates to quarrel with Zuo Xiang just now?!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the first thing for the imperial court now is to find out how many people are suffering in the attacked city, and then appease the people first." Old lady Lin suddenly came out of the queue and said.

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then do you think you should advance or guard." ”

Old lady Lin's face was indifferent, "Whether you are advancing or guarding, there is naturally a Marquis of Wusu on the border, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and we may not be able to see the overall situation clearly when we are far away in the capital." ”

"According to Fuguo's words, do you want Marquis Wu Su to make decisions arbitrarily?! The northwest is the territory of Dayong. The Xiaoyu army is also Dayong's army, how can you only let the people who lead the army advance when they say they will advance, and retreat when they say they will retreat?! Zuo Xiang Lu Ming took a step forward, and his words carried a deep meaning.

When the ministers heard this, their faces were stunned. The emperor's gaze also sank, and everyone thought of the metaphor of his words at the same time.

Old lady Lin snorted coldly, thinking that your master is still the old god, you should jump out first to see who bites whom!

"Then according to the meaning of Zuo Xiangcai, is it going to fight?!" After the old lady Lin scolded in his heart. continued: "The war is also successful, you pay for it? Do you know how much money a soldier has to allocate every day, how much grain and grass a war horse has to eat every day, how many weapons and armor you have to lose on the battlefield every day, and how many cities you have to break down first to go deep into the center of the Tartar Kingdom? ”

"If Zuo Xiang knows that these are still the main battles, then the old man can only say that he admires, and then sends Zuo Xiang a sentence, either pay for it, or you can do it!"

Old lady Lin's words fell. I also glanced at him, thinking that this kind of person would be called mentally retarded if he put it!

When the Ministry of War heard this remark, he admired Mr. Lin from the bottom of his heart, and also made him embarrassed by the Ministry of War, and he couldn't estimate the number of weapons and armor that were damaged, let alone the large and small cities that were going to be broken all the way. Sure enough, Lin Fuguo, whom the emperor loves, really has two brushes.

Lu Ming was choked and his face was red, and he couldn't say a word, and the ministers who were pressed to guard just now raised their chins one after another, as if they had won a battle.

King Rui remained silent for a long time, and when he saw that the people wanted to splash water, they couldn't make a commotion. After thinking about it, he was still silent, and so was Cao Muzhi.

They spoke at this time, no matter what they said, it was not pleasing to them, anyway, the limelight was robbed of the old fox again.

The Emperor nodded frequently. It was a waste of money to continue the war, and it was only three years after he ascended the throne that the war was raging, which would surely cause another wave of turmoil. finally won the hearts of the people of Dayong, and he couldn't just let him have a chance to waver.

"My idea is to wait a few more days, the Marquis of Wusu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and I also believe him, and now the three princes of the Tartar Kingdom are still in my Dayong Palace, I don't believe that they really ignore him." If the king of the Tartar kingdom really doesn't care about this prince who is very popular with the people. At that time, he will have his own way to let there be turmoil within the Tartar Kingdom first!

The emperor already had a plan, and the people who were fighting in the main battle were choked by Mrs. Lin so much that there was no place to refute, and all the ministers naturally seconded the proposal with great eyes.

The early dynasty dispersed, and the old lady Lin, the military department Shangshu, and King Rui were all summoned to the imperial study again.

On the way, King Rui was polite to Mrs. Lin, and said with admiration: "Lin Fuguo is really worthy of the capable minister that his father once boasted about, and he sees things more thoroughly than anyone else." ”

"What does the prince mean?" Old Lady Lin glanced sideways at him.

King Rui smiled, "Of course, it is a wide range of auxiliary countries. ”

"Oh, the prince is saying that I asked Zuo Xiang those questions?" Old lady Lin also laughed, and the meaning of the smile was unknown. "That's what I asked, where do I know so much, isn't it all about the Ministry of War?"

The soldier on the side almost fell down.

This means that he doesn't know these answers, but just uses them to trick people?!

The smile on King Rui's face froze at this moment, and he didn't react for a long time, and Old Lady Lin laughed and took a few steps into the imperial study. King Rui is also mentally retarded, and the ghost can calculate the loss of each battle, and the loss of the big war and the small battle is different and the win or loss is uncertain, where to count!

The emperor called the three of them over and asked only about the money that the household department could do now, as well as the funds of the military department, and other issues, as for King Rui, all of them belonged to the emperor, and he felt guilty for his previous suspicions, so he showed his attention.

After replying, Mrs. Lin went back to the household department to check the account for confirmation, and then hid in the labor department for an afternoon to write and paint.

King Rui stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace for dinner at noon, and Empress Dowager Li watched the two brothers coming, her face was full of smiles, and all her previous worries were put down.

Her eldest son is still measured and reasonable, and it is the right way for the brothers to support each other in harmony, and it is not those who should provoke her second son to be locked up by the eldest son for so long, it is really damned.

The queen mother's psychological activities are frequent, but it is not obvious at all, lovingly watching the brothers let the two of them eat more vegetables, and also give the emperor a few dishes, King Rui also followed, and the family seemed warm and happy.

After the meal, the Queen Mother took a sip of tea and talked about the April Birthday Festival. "Emperor, what do you think of King Ning going back to Beijing to celebrate his birthday?"

"King Ning has not returned to Beijing for nearly four years. I don't think it's okay to come back and stay for a while. The emperor put down the gold-painted tea bowl and knocked on the table.

The implication is that he wants to explore the bottom of King Ning, after all, he hasn't seen him for four years. No matter how much he is on guard against King Ning, it is better to spy on him than to see it, and he can find out more.

King Rui also said: "Erchen agrees with what the imperial brother said, I haven't seen the second imperial brother for a long time, I heard that the fief where he is located is rich, and now that the war is going on, it is good for him to return to Beijing to live." ”

The Queen Mother listened to the meaning of the two sons and muttered for a while. "Since you brothers have this intention. Then let him come back, but the mourning family still has to be reminded that it is indispensable to guard against people! ”

If it weren't for the fact that the former emperor sent these two princes to the fiefdom early, how could he still be guarded against him now, and he would have been waiting for the emperor underground a long time ago!

The emperor should be, the mother and son chatted for a while, and the emperor left the queen mother's palace in advance, and the queen mother and King Rui straightened their faces.

"You've rarely come to me these days, and I can only say some things now."

King Rui said respectfully: "The queen mother said that her son will never be remembered in her heart. ”

The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction at his attitude. "You're going to be poor! You're not too young anymore, and I thought the previous things were committed by you when you were young and didn't know how serious they were, but not anymore! The woman in your family who has always been polite and generous, what do you want, she can only take the initiative to put it in the backyard, why do you want to do such a thing! ”

"It's my son who is obsessed with it for a while." Rui Wang's tone was sincere.

"If you know your mistakes, you can do it." The Queen Mother nodded and continued: "That Lin Fuguo is far away from him, and you are not unclear about his wife's affairs. Although I did a little harder, but in the end it was also for your brothers, if you don't do this, it would be your brothers living in fear in the fiefdom now. If Mrs. Na Lin wants to blame, she can only blame her for walking carelessly in the palace, and she has to be diligent in communicating with Na Chun Guifei......"

Listen to the past. King Rui just nodded frequently, but did not make a sound.

The Queen Mother sighed as she spoke, "I'm so inconvenient now, Mrs. Cao will help me move around more." But don't attract the attention of your royal brother, so as not to be provoked by that villain to provoke the affection between your brothers. ”

"The sons know, the queen mother can rest assured, no matter how others provoke in the middle, the sons will be towards the royal brother. Erchen understands the emperor's dilemma, and sometimes he always has to set an example. It was Erchen who was confused and made a mistake before, and Erchen never blamed the royal brother. ”

"It's good that you can think like this, the queen mother has been working for your brother for so many years, I just hope that you will always be good and govern Dayong Jiangshan more securely." The Queen Mother smiled with relief.

She is most afraid that the eldest son and the second son will be separated after the last incident, and now that both of them are so sensible, this is the best!

King Rui said yes repeatedly, and then chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and when he saw that she was tired, he withdrew from the palace.

At the moment when he stepped on the carriage and left the palace, the warmth and calmness on King Rui's face were completely hidden, leaving only strong hatred and unwillingness.

His queen mother has done enough, but it is all for his royal brother, how much benefit does he have?!

If he is the position of the queen mother now, he should also be let go to the fiefdom, let him stay in the capital like this, every qiē is restricted, and even the support of the guards has to dare not break the rules to attract suspicion, how can such a nest be the life of the prince? !

never let him lead the troops, but he asked him to be both civil and military since he was a child, and his mother used him as a chess reserve!

But he, Zhou Rong, has never been preparing for chess! He will let his mother see who is the real master of this Dayong River!

King Rui was unwilling in his heart, and his expression was distorted, and the whole person seemed to be crazy.

and that Lin Hanhai, provoked again and again, his wife could die, and he couldn't escape either.

Just now his mother didn't mention women, he forgot about a person in the Lin family.

Lin Hanhai doesn't like to disgust him all day long, he will disgust him again, see how he swallows this dumb breath!

Thinking of his plan, King Rui's resentment disappeared somewhat, and the sneer on his lips lingered for a long time.

***

Old lady Lin returned home after a busy day, and out of the war and the unresolved matters before, he sent a letter to Su Zhaoheng, but he didn't expect to receive a reply at all that day.

After meeting others in a restaurant on the afternoon of the second day, I learned that he was summoned into the palace by the emperor near dusk yesterday, and it was not until late at night that the palace door was locked for a long time before he received the token out of the palace.

"The emperor has been very diligent when he sees you recently."

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking, Su Zhaoheng's hand holding the tea bowl shook, and the tea swayed out and wet his hands slightly.

"Maybe it's because of the northwest matter, so the emperor always wants to ask me something." Su Zhaoheng's face stiffened, and he was summoned by the emperor so much that he was about to doubt his life.

The emperor's reluctant look every time he came to the end always made him feel cold in his back.

Old Lady Lin reacted strangely, "Just asking you about the northwest?" So what's your expression? ”

Su Zhaoheng was shocked, where did he dare to say what he suspected, and pretended to be calm and replied: "I just asked about some terrain in the northwest and the Tartar country, and sometimes I care about the trivial matters of the Xiahou Mansion by the way." ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Lin's expression became a little stern, "It's quite surprising that the emperor's temperament cares about the trivial affairs of his courtiers, so he didn't ask when your father would come back, or mention letting him return to Beijing?" ”

"This ......" Su Zhaoheng frowned, "I asked it once, and it was on the Shangyuan Festival." ”

"If he asks again, you should find out what he means, and if he asks your father to come back, you must sue me. This is a matter of importance, can you remember?! ”

Old Lady Lin's expression was extremely solemn, and Su Zhaoheng was disturbed by him for a moment, and nodded in response.

Subsequently, Mrs. Lin asked him what he thought about the sneak attack of the Tartar Kingdom, and Su Zhaoheng said bluntly, saying that it was just a move of the Tartar Kingdom to demonstrate and struggle. In the end, the king of the Tartar Kingdom is unwilling to negotiate peace, if the sneak attack is successful and the two sides stalemate for a few days, he will talk more about sovereignty when he negotiates peace again, and he will not be overpressed by Dayong.

This matter is also the final analysis of Old Lady Lin, after all, it is not cost-effective for the three princes of the Tartar Kingdom to give up on the Tartar Kingdom like this than to lose soldiers and horses.

"There is an update on the situation in the army, you can consult with me at your discretion, just look for me." Old lady Lin also somewhat understood that Marquis Wusu's next move would inevitably be a counterattack, or a battle that was only allowed to be won but not defeated, and it was estimated that this battle would not be reported to the imperial court in too time.

Su Zhaoheng was grateful in his heart, Mrs. Lin really helped him a lot with the Su family. "As long as Lin Lao doesn't bother the juniors, the juniors will bother more."

"Well, just bother me."

The meaning of this is that he should not think that he can go to find his granddaughter after entering the gate of Shangshu Mansion.

Su Zhaoheng, who heard the meaning of the words, only smiled bitterly, and then called the person who Old Lady Lin had been waiting to see for a long time in, and left the restaurant by himself.

The tall man, about twenty-one or two, had a scar on the bridge of his nose on his tanned face, and he looked a little hideous.

Old Lady Lin stared at him for a long time before she asked, "Who are you from Qianchun Guifei, and how many of the Xiao family's exiled people are still alive?" (To be continued.) )
