Jia Daishan stared at Lin Ruhai's eyes for a long time, and finally silently took the silver ticket back into his arms.

"I'm not going to say more, I'll take my leave first!" Jia Daishan got up and walked out, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to send me, tell Min'er that I have to come to see her and my eldest grandson when I am free." ”

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Daishan had already gone away, so he didn't follow him anymore.

After returning to the main courtyard, Lin Ruhai told Jia Min that he wanted to help Jia Zheng seek foreign appointments, and Jia Min asked when he heard it: "Is the husband sure?" ”

"There's a seven-eight! There is a lot of miasma in Shuzhong, and the road to Shuzhong is very difficult, and it takes more than two months to get on the road alone. So very few people are willing to go there and take up a post. In addition, although the position of academic administration is not low-grade, it does not have any real power, nor does it have any oil and water, so there are even fewer people who are willing to go. ”

"Can the second brother be willing to go?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem! Although there are many bad things in Shuzhong, if you work hard there, it is also easy to make political achievements. The second uncle was a lover of reading, and it was very cheap to deal with literati there. Besides, the second uncle is also a little self-motivated, his current grade is so low, give him a chance to be promoted several levels in a row, he must not want to let go. ”

"I hope so! I'm not worried about the second brother, I'm worried that my mother and the Wang family will stop it. ”

"With my father-in-law here, the two of them can't afford to make any waves."

"Father wants to see that he is separated from his second brother for thousands of miles, he must feel uncomfortable, after all, his father is already old!"

"Don't worry, my father-in-law is in good health now, but in a few years, my father-in-law will miss his son, and if I can send my second uncle to Shuzhong, I will have the ability to get him back."

Two days later, Lin Ruhai met Li Jifan by chance after going to the ya, and invited him to go to the treasure shop for a drink. During the banquet, Lin Ruhai and Li Jifan revealed that they wanted to seek Kuizhou Xuezheng for Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng is not from the imperial examination, and if he wants to get this errand, he really needs to work up and down. Li Jifan promised to help Lin Ruhai mention it in front of his father, and Lin Ruhai immediately gave Li Jifan a painting of Gu Kaizhi and asked him to give it to his father. After Li Jifan accepted the painting, the two ate two more glasses of wine, and then went back to their respective homes without mentioning it.

At the end of February, the emperor received an urgent report from the northeast that the Tatar army of 300,000 had attacked the border five days earlier and had already captured two cities. Now that the king of Yan is leading his troops to resist, he asked the emperor to immediately send reinforcements and transport a large number of military supplies to the northeast.

After receiving the military report, the emperor immediately summoned the cabinet to the imperial study to discuss the matter.

"What do you think?"

Lord Wu, the left prime minister, spoke first: "Emperor Qiqi, the minister thinks that now he should immediately cooperate with the household department and the military department to raise some grain and grass, and immediately set off to send it to King Yan." Then send the right-hand man to lead the army to support. ”

"Then you all tell me who is the best person to send to support?"

"Weichen thinks that General Wang Ziteng is brave and good at fighting, and he is the most suitable candidate." Lord Shangshuyu of the military department is the old department of General Wang, and there is such an opportunity to revive the prince, of course, we must seize it.

The minister of the Ministry of Shangshu Li said: "The minister thinks that although Wang Ziteng is brave, he is not strategic, and it is most appropriate to send a wise and brave person." ”

"Then who does Li Aiqing think is the most suitable candidate?"

"This ...... Weichen hasn't remembered it for a while! ”

The emperor was silent, and the ministers did not dare to speak again.

"First of all, according to what Wu Xiang said, the household department and the military department will prepare the grain and grass as soon as possible and send the appropriate people to the front line. As for who to send reinforcements, think about it again, and it would be better to choose the right people within five days. ”

After the cabinet left, the emperor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in contemplation, and after a long time, the emperor spoke: "Find Lin Ruhai." ”

After Lin Ruhai came, the emperor asked him to read the military report, and the more Lin Ruhai looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

"Your Majesty, how Wei Chen looks at this military newspaper is weird!"

"Oh! Let's take it personally. The emperor squinted and said.

"Let's not talk about whether the military information in this military report is true, it is very suspicious that this Tatar can still gather 300,000 troops in February. The Tatars are nomads, and February is the time for their migration, so how can they have the time and mind to invade our borders? ”

"That's right! Neither I nor the Cabinet Ministers found such an obvious problem. So what does Ruhai think about this? ”

"Now thousands of miles apart, we don't know what the situation is in the Northeast. You should check it out first, and arrange it in the line. It's just that this matter must be kept secret. ”

"I have already issued an order for the household department and the military department to raise grain and grass and transport it to the northeast as soon as possible."

"It's okay, it's okay for the emperor to drag it out for two days!"

The emperor frowned and thought for a moment, then let Lin Ruhai retreat first. Subsequently, the emperor called Liu Cheng over, and after talking to him alone for a long time in the imperial study, Liu Cheng left in a hurry.

In the evening, after Lin Ruhai returned home, he wrote a letter to Li Jifan and asked Lin Xing to send it to Li's mansion overnight. Summoned the Shadow again, "You immediately contact the spies in the northeast and let him find out what happened to the Tatar invasion this time!" ”

"Master, the northeast is very tightly controlled by King Yan, and it is difficult for our flying pigeon to pass into the hands of the spies. In the past, we easily did not contact the spies over there, but occasionally contacted, and there was no fatal information to be discovered. Now that the spies are to be activated, if the letter is robbed by King Yan's people, it will be troublesome! ”

Lin Ruhai habitually tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and after a long time, he spoke: "Is Qi Lan still in the southwest now?" ”

"Should have returned!"

"You go to Qi Lan and ask him to go to the Northeast in person to find out the true situation of Tatar."

The Shadow took the command and left. Lin Ruhai slowly walked back to the main courtyard, Jia Min was coaxing Lin Lang to sleep, hugging Lin Lang while patting him on the back while humming a tune. Seeing that Lin Ruhai was back, but obviously had something on his mind, he handed over Lin Lang, who was already asleep, to Mother Lu.

Jia Min walked up to Lin Ruhai and sat down, "What's wrong with you?" But what's going on? ”

"Nothing! It's just some business, and it's already been taken care of. ”

"It's inconvenient for you to say, so I won't ask more, but you have to remember that my son and I are waiting for you to come back at home every day."

Lin Ruhai leaned his head on Jia Min's shoulder and said with a smile: "I seem to be going out of the house!" Don't worry, your husband and I are amazing, nothing can stump me! ”

"Of course I believe in my husband! I just want to tell you to think more about us before you do things, and don't put yourself in danger! ”

"I will! You and your son are my life, and I will never be willing to let you be wronged. ”
