"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanjin Yiwei commanded Lin Zhao to meet him. ”

Lin Zhao held his head high and strode across the threshold that was more than half a foot high, without any cautious appearance.

Entering the imperial study, he only bowed his hand slightly, and said, "Chen Lin Zhao participates in Your Majesty." ”

And then he didn't care to look up,

The Great Zhou Dynasty is afraid that he is the only one who can be so unscrupulous.

At this time, in the imperial study, there was no one else except Emperor Xiaode and Dai Quan, but there were a few seats.

Obviously, it was for the important ministers of the imperial court to sit.

"Lin Aiqing, I summoned you to meet this time because of the matter of Xianggui and Miaoman, why did you come empty-handed?" Emperor Xiaode glanced at him, and when he saw that he was empty-handed, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and then looked at Dai Quan.

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the old slave has already told His Majesty the instructions to Lin Dutang in detail. ”

Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, there are countless news every day, so naturally you have to keep them in mind one by one, in case the emperor asks at any time, the ministers have already remembered the matter of Hunan and Miao Barbarians." Your Majesty doesn't hurt to ask, as long as Jinyiwei investigates clearly, what the emperor and the important ministers of the military plane want to know, the ministers are clear. ”

"Heh!" Emperor Xiaode glanced at him and shook his head: "Sure enough, it is a young man's heart, and his brain is easy to use, when the elders of the pavilion and the ministers smell it, don't open your mouth." ”

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it is a steel knife of His Majesty, as long as His Majesty asks the minister to answer, the minister knows everything." ”

"Okay, then you can wait. Emperor Xiaode nodded, and was very useful to Lin Zhao's answer.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, a few courtiers soon came in.

After playing a set of etiquette for the monarch and the minister to answer each other, they were divided into seats.

These courtiers are all important ministers of the court. They are Zhang Tingyu, the first assistant of the cabinet, Tian Congdian, the second assistant, Feng Tang, the governor of the Chinese military governor's office, Gao Qi, the secretary of the military department, and Gan Rulai, the secretary of the household department.

Originally, this kind of meeting should have been brought over by Meng Nantian, the left governor of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, but Lao Meng was injured in the battle of Tiewang Mountain and had not yet recovered.

In this way, there are two cabinet elders, important ministers of the military, and two officials of the household department and the military department.

It is enough to show how much the emperor attaches importance to Xianggui Miaoman.

If it is a small rebellion in the past, it is only necessary to discuss it with the cabinet bosses, and then notify the military, household department, and military department, and there is no need for them to come and negotiate in person.

After everyone sat down, Emperor Xiaode spoke: "Lin Zhao, you will tell me in detail about the deeds of Xianggui and Miao. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Lin Zhao bowed his hand.

In fact, the relevant information, all the court bigwigs have already received detailed information, and the general content is only known, but if Lin Zhao wants to explain it in detail again, it seems that he wants to unify his thoughts.

Lin Zhao cleared his throat and said: "Xianggui Miao Man, in fact, Miao Man, who is located in the 100,000 Great Mountain, was suppressed by my Great Zhou for a hundred years, and was unwilling to endure the hardships in the mountains and reacted. Although Miao Man has 500,000 or 600,000 troops, claiming to have 100,000 troops, in fact, there are at most 20,000 or 30,000 strong, and there must be strong guards in the rear. ”

"But these two or thirty thousand are strong, extremely strong, and good at mountain fighting, plus there is a walled fort to rely on, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

"What's more, they seem to be involved with the big and small Jinchuan toasts far away in the Sichuan-Shu Plateau......"

Lin Zhao detailed the information inquired by Jinyiwei, some of which were naturally known to all parties, and some of which were not even known to the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army.

After Lin Zhao finished talking one by one, Emperor Xiaode said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the news of Jinyiwei has been explained in detail, everyone will decide today, whether to fight or to fight, how to suppress Miao Man's wolf ambitions, let's decide to come up with a charter." ”

Although he said "is war or fu", everyone discussed it, but later added "suppress Miao Man's wolf ambition", so that minister dared to persuade the emperor to take fu as the best?

Immediately, Feng Tang took a step forward and fought with all his might, claiming that the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army was full of elite soldiers, and he would definitely defeat his enemy if he waited for His Majesty's order.

The implication is that the imperial court has too much money and does not have enough food and grass supply, so it is recommended to use elite soldiers and local forces to complement each other.

As for Zhang Tingyu and the other three, they looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't seem to hear what they said.

And Lin Zhao also closed his eyes slightly and stood aside.

From the words of these ministers, he had already judged the intention of Emperor Xiaode.

It is nothing more than sending a party to lead one or two thousand men and horses, with a brave general as the vanguard, to implement the scorched earth strategy, burn and loot the cottages of those tribes, but not for the purpose of occupation, only need to implement it for a year or two, Miao Man will definitely suffer heavy losses and be unable to fight again.

This kind of trick is actually an improved version of Wang Shouren's extermination of mountain bandits.

But depending on the situation, several important ministers still have to negotiate for an hour.

......

At this time, in the Lin Mansion, Sister Feng was sitting lazily on the side, chatting with Daiyu.

And the one who sat on the side was cherishing spring.

At this time, the expressions of the people in the room were very serious.

It turned out that Daiyu casually asked, why didn't Jin Chuan, the big girl who had been by Mrs. Wang's side for a long time, not come with her this time.

Only then did I hear Sister Feng sigh, and Fang said, "Jin Chuan is dead." ”

Sister Feng briefly explained the details of the matter and said, "...... She is a high-minded and arrogant, frivolous mouth, the most able to see the wind and turn the rudder, is the first proud person around the second wife, up and down are used to it, since I don't care about the house, she comes to pass a word and doesn't know how to salute, so I also look down on her. It's just that there are a few years of love in the end, why can't you think about it so much, and just die?"

Mama Rong interjected: "Second grandmother, forgive the old slave for being fair, but your second wife is right about this." ”

Sister Feng said: "How did I not know that the second wife was right. It is me, and if the maid beside me makes fun of my son in front of me, and instigates my son to catch the concubine and the maid, I will not spare her. According to my temper, I'm afraid it's more intense than the second wife, who is still thinking about Baoyu's reputation, and only says that she broke things and drove them out. I just can't figure it out, why did Jin Chu'er jump into the well? The second wife is still merciful, and she allowed her to take out all the ladders she has accumulated every day, and she is not the one who attacks people with one set of mouths and one set behind her back, she is still good, and she has money, and her old son and mother also have a face, and she is not good for people in her own house, so she begged the second wife, let go of the deed, and hired to be a decent husband and wife outside?"

Xichun said: "Second sister-in-law, if she is willing to let her go out and be a flat-headed commoner, she will not laugh with her second brother in front of the second wife." ”

Sister Feng was stunned and smiled bitterly.

Also, accustomed to seeing the glory and wealth of the house, where do those maids still see the life outside?

There are "ambitious" maids in the house, and they all want to be aunts of the masters. I didn't see the most virtuous attacker in Suri, and it became a good thing to seduce Baoyu a year or two earlier, and with Mama Li's eyes, I had already seen that the autumn pattern and blue moon were not clean. Those maids, just want to earn their aunts first, and then give birth to a son and a half daughter with the masters, and they will be the masters in the future. If the children fight more and earn a life for themselves, won't they be like their ancestors in the future?

Sister Feng sighed: "One by one, I am dreaming of it. The maid who gave birth to a child in the family is a slave who sold the death contract, and people who don't respect the rules call their aunt at will, and the serious ones are not even concubines.

The most serious example in the house is Aunt Zhao.

She has a good color, and she is very favored by the old man Jia Zheng, and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

But her daughter Tanchun is a smart person, she doesn't dare to recognize her at all, and she only dares to call her aunt openly and secretly.

And that son Jia Huan is even more of an unfinished thing,
