Lin Run's face was a little unsightly, but there was sadness in his eyes.

Lin Qingwan sneered, straightened her back, stared at him like a knife, and said, "If you can't even think through this, why do you talk about going to the army to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"If it is not built, what you will lose is your own life, and if you are not allowed to build it, then the scourge will be the entire Lin family." Lin Qingwan slapped the table and said, "What, is it that my grandfather didn't hand over the Lin family army to you, and you are resentful?" ”

Lin Ji was startled, kowtowed with a pale face: "Sister-in-law, little nephew doesn't mean this, I, I just think that our Lin family doesn't have to be so careful, now it's a troubled time, martial arts are more important than literature, why can't we take the martial arts road?" ”

Lin Qingwan sneered, "Do you think it's the martial artist who can't read a lot of characters when he becomes a general?" Look at Lu Zhen, Cui Zheng, and Xu Lian, who are leading the army now, which one is not a person who reads poetry and books? Look at Zhong Ruying again, even if she is a girl, she is also a well-known talented girl in the capital, what are you? People who haven't even taken the Ming Jing test, and can't even see through the intentions of the ancestors' decisions, how long do you think you can live if you go to the army? ”

Lin Ji lowered his head, his eyes were red, and his forehead slammed on the floor and said, "Please aunt teach me." ”

Lin Qingwan's face was calm, her eyes were glowing with cold light, but when she caught a glimpse of his clenched fists, she couldn't help but pause, and she lowered her eyes and thought deeply.

The hall was quiet for a while, Lin Run looked at Lin Qingwan, wanting to persuade, but he was afraid that he would condone the three children, making them think that even if they contradicted their aunt, the patriarch would help them intercede, so they didn't speak for a while.

Lin Ling and Lin Jia lowered their heads and didn't dare to move in such an atmosphere.

Lin Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, was drenched in cold sweat, but he stubbornly straightened his back.

When Lin Yubin heard that her aunt was angry and rushed over, she saw this scene, Bai Mei, who came to report, couldn't say clearly, she didn't know why her aunt was angry, so it was difficult to persuade her, so she could only step forward and take her hand.

Lin Qingwan glanced at her, looked down at Lin Ji and said, "The ambition is not small, then let me ask you, do you know why your great-ancestor handed over the military power of the Lin family army instead of passing it on to the Lin family?" ”

Lin Ji said cautiously: "Because there was no one in the Lin family at that time to master the Lin family's army, it was a curse or a blessing to have the military power in hand, so the great-ancestor handed it over." ”

Lin Qingwan said expressionlessly, "Wrong, think again!" ”

Lin Ji sweated on his forehead, bit his lip and said, "Because the second grandfather is weak and doesn't like the military." ”

"Wrong again, think again." Lin Qingwan looked at him condescendingly and said, "That's all you can think of?" ”

Lin Ji lowered his head, ashamed and didn't know why.

Lin Run sighed, and was about to persuade Lin Qingwan when he opened his mouth, when he heard a servant outside reply: "Grandma, Young Master Lin You of the patriarch's family is here." ”

"Let him in."

Before she finished speaking, a young man stepped in from outside the door, walked to Lin Ji's side and saluted her, "Sister-in-law," and faced Lin Run, "Uncle." ”

Lin Run's face was soothed and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Lin You bowed his head and said: "Grandfather saw that it was late and you haven't returned, so I was worried, so I asked my nephew to go to the city to look for it, and my nephew went out to know that my uncle had returned to the clan, so I came over." ”

Lin Run bowed, glanced at Lin Qingwan and said, "You go back and tell your grandfather first, and then go back after I finish handling things." ”

"Yes." Lin You responded, hesitated for a moment but did not retreat, but looked at Lin Qingwan and said, "Sister-in-law's question and nephew also heard it outside." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at him with a flat gaze, Lin You's heart tightened, but his face remained unchanged and said: "The little nephew is a little foolish, and I don't know if it's right or wrong." ”

Lin Qingwan turned around and sat down, raised her chin and nodded at him, "Tell me about it." ”

Lin You bowed his head and said: "The great ancestor handed over the military power for the people of Daliang, at that time, Lin Cui, Lu and Zhong were in charge of the military power, and Your Majesty had little to rely on except for the 20,000 imperial forest troops and 10,000 forbidden troops in the capital. ”

"At that time, the Lin family army commanded the north, and there were a total of 300,000 troops in the northeast, not counting the miscellaneous armies that depended on the Lin family's army, one could block three, and the great-ancestor was loyal to the Great Liang, and the great-ancestor was here, and the Great Liang was naturally safe." Lin You raised his head and said: "Therefore, the great ancestor handed over the military power to His Majesty before his death, the most important thing is to prevent civil strife in Daliang, and the people will have no livelihood." ”

"The second is for Your Majesty, who is now a student of the great ancestor, and the emperor entrusted the girder to the great ancestor, and the great ancestor should keep his promise. Give the military power to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will have one more thing to rely on. ”

"The third is for the second grandfather and the Lin family, what the younger brother said is not right, the Lin family did not have leading talents at that time."

Lin Qingwan's face was gentle, and she glanced at Lin You up and down, then she looked down at Lin Ji and asked, "Are you not convinced by what he said?" ”

Lin Ji came back to his senses from his apprehension, bowed his head and said, "No, the little nephew is short-sighted, please forgive my sister-in-law." ”

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?"

Lin Ji's face turned red and said: "The mistake is that I am stupid, I think I know when I don't know." ”

"Wrong," Lin Qingwan said with a cold eye, "Think again." ”

Lin Ji's face turned red, kowtowed, and said, "Little nephew doesn't know." ”

"You are wrong to underestimate my grandfather's character, and you are wrong to underestimate the Lin family, do you think that everyone is only in the camp for personal gain?" Lin Qingwan closed her eyes and said, "Go down, wait until you think it through, if you still want to join the army and come to me again." ”

Lin Run was shocked in his heart, and turned his head to look at Lin Qingwan.

Lin You and Lin Yubin were also a little surprised and looked up at her.

Lin Ji and the others didn't have time to think more, so they hurriedly bowed down and retreated.

Although it has not been disclosed, everyone knows that this sister-in-law can be half the master of the current affairs in the clan, and if she offends her, the end will not be good.

Lin Run and the other three retreated and couldn't help but ask, "Sister Wan'er, do you want Lin Ji to join the army?" ”

"There are a lot of things he said wrong, but one sentence is right," Lin Qingwan said with a soothing face: "Why can't the children of the Lin family make contributions in the army?" ”

Lin Run was worried, "Your Majesty ...... there"

"Fifth brother, how long has it been since my grandfather died?"

Lin Run was stunned, and Lin Qingwan sighed: "It's been thirty years, Your Majesty is a fool, and thirty years is enough for him to gather military power, not to mention that he is still a Ming Jun." ”

At the beginning, the Lin family could not join the army because the Lin family's military power was handed over, and the soldiers were loyal to the Lin family.

If someone joins the army, even if he is a fool, some people will say that he will support him to fight for military power, and the emperor will not be able to retract it.

But now thirty years have passed, and now there are still the old Lin Jiajun in the army, and even the deputy general Su Zhang is the descendant of the Lin Jiajun, and Xu Lian's ancestor has a very close relationship with her grandfather.

But this relationship must be separated by a layer, they are now loyal to the emperor, they are willing to take care of the Lin family more, but they will no longer swear allegiance to the Lin family like their ancestors.

The emperor knows this, the Northeast Army knows, and the Lin family also knows.

At this time, if there are any more people in the Lin family joining the army, the advantage is only to be taken care of as relatives and friends, and the emperor is generous, which is still tolerated.
