Chapter 121: The Banquet

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, in the Xuanzheng Palace, Emperor Wu summoned all the sons in Wancheng, that is, the eldest son Lin Yuren, the second son of the emperor Gongzi Xin, and the sixth son of the emperor Lin Yuyan, as for the rest of the third son of the emperor Gongzi Yuan was stationed in the northern frontier of Wuguo all the year round after the difficulty of Jin and Han, and never returned to Wancheng. The fourth son of the emperor went to the Jin Kingdom as a hostage, and the fifth son of the emperor went to the palace because of the old disease of the war and did not recuperate all the year round, so only three of the six adult princes went to the Xuanzheng Palace.

As for the princes who have not left the cabinet, they have not read the books well, and Emperor Wu will not let them enter the Xuanzheng Palace.

In addition to a few princes, that is, the Minister of State Baili Huai, the Left Minister Shen Case, the Right Minister Ming Zifu, and the supervisor Shi Dafu Xia Wuti, these are the ministers of the Inner Dynasty, and compared with the six doctors of the Outer Dynasty or others who hold the real power of the Wu State, they are undoubtedly the ministers of the humerus of Emperor Wu.

This banquet was made by Emperor Wu in order to reward the ministers of the inner court, and as for the court banquet of the ministers of the outer court, it had to wait until the New Year passed, and it was the [Zhengyue] of the next year (in ancient times, the meaning of the first month, it was called 'Zhengyue' at that time. On the 16th of the day, it was set up in this Xuanzheng Temple.

Because today is not a matter of the Ten Dynasty, and the current situation in the court is already very clear, the eldest son Lin Yuren knows that he can't compete for the second child at this time, and this time is not the right time to fight, so he is cautious, as for Gongzi Xin, he doesn't want to make his appearance too ugly, but he didn't chase after the eldest son at this moment when Emperor Wu should be in harmony and harmony.

As soon as I went to the Xuanzheng Palace, it was a situation where nothing happened.

However, the eldest son was obviously left out in the cold, after all, there are no foreign ministers in today's court, and it is difficult for Lin Yuren to find someone to talk to, like the national minister Baili Huai, the left minister Shen case, the right minister Ming Zifu, and the supervisor Shi Dafu Xia Wuti, are all people who can avoid the princes, and the remaining two imperial brothers, the prince believes that he doesn't need to say anything, and the sixth Lin Yuyan also didn't put him in his eyes, and he didn't say a word from entering the palace gate to the present.

This made the eldest son Lin Yuren not embarrassed, and there was no singing and dancing at this banquet, so he could only drink by himself.

However, Gongzixin and Lin Yuyan had a very happy conversation: "Sixth brother, how about going to Lin Yuan?" ”

"All kinds of waste are in full swing, but for the matter of the foundry, thank you to the second emperor brother!" Lin Yuyan thanked him.

"Between brothers, what a word of thanks!" I don't know if it's because the eldest son Lin Yuren is next to him, Gongzixin always intentionally or unintentionally behaves in a situation of "brother respects brother".

Lin Yuyan is naturally not shy about it, after all, the matter of going to Lin Yuan, which is indispensable to the help of the second emperor brother, also to tell the truth, it seems that the eldest son is strategic, and it is difficult to compare with the second emperor brother Gongzi Xin, as for the rest, if you want to climb to that position with the title of "eldest son", I am afraid it is a fool's dream,

After all, Lin Yuyan had vaguely learned that his father, the current Emperor Wu, did not seem to be a descendant.

Emperor Wu sits on the throne, only the southernmost palace of Wuguo is the place where Emperor Wu deals with political affairs, and the Xuanzheng Palace is multi-purpose, and there are several auxiliary halls next to it, but that is just a backup.

The food on the table could no longer attract Emperor Wu, but Emperor Wu still raised the wine jue and said to the people below: "Drink with all of you!" ”

After drinking it all, Emperor Wu also said to his subordinates: "Today, I summoned the Qing and others to come, one is for the New Year's banquet, and the other is also for one thing, and I will summon the Qing to express their opinions." ”

As soon as the words fell, Gao Jin, who was waiting, held the royal case and sent a few silk letters to several ministers of the inner court and the princes.

Emperor Wu opened his mouth and said: "These are the two treatises written by Han Kui, the Shanglin Yuan Shangshu Ling, the teaching of the best of the land and the law of leveling, both of which are related to farming, I look very good, what do you think?" ”

When everyone looked carefully, Gongzixin glanced at it, and then looked at Lin Yuyan, and when he found that the latter was watching with relish, Gongzixin also asked with a smile: "What, the sixth brother works with that Han Kui, didn't Han Kui show these two strategies to the sixth brother?" ”

Hearing the question, Lin Yuyan raised his head and replied: "Brother Huang, Han Zi and Brother Huang are in charge of Shanglin Yuan's civil and military affairs, and they don't have a border, this strategy is Han Zi's governance of Shanglin Yuan, why should I ask?" ”

"This is also ......" Gongzi Xin smiled, and then his eyes fell on Han Kui Ce, who was on the silk book, and said: "This Han Zi is indeed a bit of a doorway, I see that this teaching of all efforts is very well written!" ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, because he always felt that his thinking was a little imaginative, not as pragmatic as Han Zi, and directly in line with the current national conditions of the Wu Kingdom.

For example, the so-called "public land" system proposed by Lin Yuyan has now appeared a loophole, that is, how to count the land cultivated by private individuals.

Han Kui also made up for this, and gradually improved.

But Lin Yuyan looked at Han Kui's "Teaching of the Best of the Land", and was meticulous, almost all the drawbacks were considered, and the countermeasures were also written, and at first glance, it was from the hands of a famous artist.

Baili Huai also praised: "Han Kui's strategy, the prospects are very impressive!" ”

Shen asked: "What sect and sect does Han Kui come from, such arguments are definitely not made by a small official of the Jin Wei clan. ”

Emperor Wu said with a smile: "Han Qing and the former criminal doctor Luo Qing went out of the Shangcai School Palace together, and then the Chu State moved eastward, and Shangcai was close to the Chu capital Shouchun, and was merged by Chu, Han Qing went to the Jixia School Palace of the Qi State for a year, and then studied in the Qingxi Ghost Valley. ”

Ming Zifu also said: "Han Kui's policy can be implemented in Lin Yuan to see the after-effects." ”

"The subordinate seconded." Supervising Shi Dafu Xia said timidly.

"Seconded." The case of Zuo Xiang Shen is also agreed.

Baili Huai also nodded: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"Good!"

Emperor Wu also nodded, obviously looking at Han Kui's feasible strategy, and now asking the opinions of the ministers of the inner court, I also want to see what the ministers say.

"Since Zhu Qing has no objection, he ordered Han Qing to implement these two laws in Shanglin Yuan to see the after-effects."

"Mingqing." Emperor Wu shouted.

Immediately Ming Zifu responded: "Yes." ”

"Let's start with some good seeds and send them to Shanglin Yuan." Emperor Wu commanded.

"Whoa!" Akiko answered.

Emperor Wu then said: "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and all the things of the year have been completed, and the government offices of the various prefectures have left some officials on duty, and the rest can all return to the house for the New Year." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Baili Huai, as the minister of state and the head of the hundred officials, is naturally the courtiers to thank Emperor Wu.

"Since it's a court banquet, it's not good to say silently, Baili Prime Minister, this time it's you who throw out an issue, how about it?" Emperor Wu asked.

Baili Huai nodded, and then said: "Although it is a recent year, there are some things that have to be said, Your Majesty, the southern border is discussed, what do you think?" ”

Emperor Wu frowned and said, "Prime Minister, how is Deng Guo?" ”

Baili Huai replied in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, Deng Guo, currently guarding the capital of Xiangcheng, the rest of the land is occupied by the Red Turban Army of Jing State!" ”

"The 400,000 people of the Deng Kingdom have actually fallen here?!" Zuo Xiangshen's case was also shocked.

Baili Huai said: "The minister has ordered Xiao Chang'an to gather in the city to guard the main road to prevent this news from reaching Wancheng, one is to prevent the people from panicking, and the other is to prevent the Jin Han clan from knowing." ”

"Hmm," Emperor Wu nodded, and then asked, "Do you have a good solution to this problem?" ”

Supervising Shi Dafu Xia Wu said bluntly and quickly: "Your Highness, the enemy is pressing the realm, and you must send troops!" ”

"Send troops ......" To be honest, Emperor Wu felt that this was a good idea, but if he didn't send troops, this matter could not be solved at all.

After thinking about it, Emperor Wu also agreed to send troops, but where to send troops? Who is the general?

The Jin and Han clans are eyeing each other, the Nanyang Army of the Northern Border Army, and the Fangcheng Army must not be mobilized, and the defenders in various places are monopolized by the old clans, and there is no combat power at all.

What Emperor Wu could think of was the Wangcheng Guards and the Yulin Army, but the two were no more than 20,000, and the city defense battalion controlled by Gongzi Xin in the Wangcheng Guard Army had been eaten away by the old clan's insects, and only Sheng Nong's patrol battalion was available.

"In the spring of next year, we will contact the Zongfu to train new soldiers to join the army, and let Sheng Nong, the general of the Wangcheng Guard, start patrolling the battalion to train the army, and, Gongzi Xin!"

Emperor Wu's accent made Lin Yuyan feel that the second emperor brother next to him was stagnant, and then saw the second emperor brother responding: "Father, the son is here!" ”

Emperor Wu said in a cold tone: "You can't slack off in the training of the city defense battalion!" ”

The implied threat meaning, how could Gongzixin not hear it, and immediately responded: "Erchen should train the city defense battalion with the standard of military soldiers!" ”

Emperor Wu's complexion eased, to be honest, the second dared to take his third son, only carrying the two of his guards, he could burn the granary of the 80,000 army of the Jin Han clan, Emperor Wu thought that the second son was also a general, so he handed over the city defense battalion to him for control.

But I didn't expect that today's city defense camp has become a tool for the second child to buy the old clan, and it has become full of loopholes!

"Prime Minister of State, we must send people to various places to supervise farming in the spring of next year, and we must collect enough field taxes for the autumn harvest to be used as military rations." Emperor Wu said.

The strategy of sending troops has been clarified, and Baili Huai should naturally come down.

After that, Emperor Wu did not say anything, and the banquet of the Xuanzheng Palace was also shrouded in clouds by the news that "Deng Guo only guarded Xiangcheng".

The banquet of the delicacies of the mountains and seas was also tasteless, and there was no joy of silk and bamboo, and only half an hour later, Emperor Wu dismissed everyone.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Gongzixin was gloomy because of Emperor Wu's previous beating in the court, and when he saw that Lin Yuyan was the only one left, Gongzixin also asked: "Yuyan, tell me, what should you do as a brother?!" ”

"Brother Huang, the news of the Deng Kingdom has been spread in the south, this martial country is our Lin clan's martial country after all, for the old clan, the Lin family is gone, and it can be replaced by a master...... Lin Yuyan said in a low voice.

A word woke up the person in the dream, and when he heard the words, Gongzixin looked at Lin Yuyan in astonishment, and said slowly: "Yuyan, my brother now knows, why are you so ...... to the old clan?" Kill them all......"

Subsequently, Gongzi said: "Yu Yan, the imperial brother knows what you mean, but the old clan of the city defense camp is already deep-rooted, so I should write a letter to the third brother Yu Yuan for my brother, and please transfer some border soldiers and horses as soldiers and soldiers of the city defense battalion." ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, the second emperor brother was already very clear between the lines, and he didn't want to offend the old clan too much, so he could only use this more modest way.

As for these, Lin Yuyan couldn't say anything, the second emperor brother was very thoughtful and had his own considerations, even if he said the essence, it would be difficult to shake the things that the second emperor brother believed.

I didn't say anything more at the moment.
