Wang Jibao listened to Su Mingran's words, and simply invited directly: "This princess is preparing to build Zhan Shifu. Now I sincerely invite you to serve as a female official in the Zhan Mansion, are you willing? ”

Seeing that he had succeeded, Su Mingran nodded busily and said, "Concubine, no, the minister is willing!" After saying this, she seriously bowed down to Wang Xibao and said, "Minister Su Mingran meets Her Royal Highness the Princess Regent!" ”

Wang Jibao stepped off the high platform and helped Su Mingran up with both hands: "Hurry up, please get up." But let's talk about the ugly thing in the past, this princess will give you a one-year probationary period, if you can't meet the requirements of this princess, this princess will be exempted from your official position at any time. ”

Su Mingran nodded heavily and said, "Okay." The minister is confident that the eldest princess will not be relieved of the minister's position. ”

Since the rest of the people did not dare to fight for themselves. Wang Jibao will no longer give everyone this opportunity now.

However, she did not immediately say that she would let the two go. Because there's such a big thing as the wake coming up. Wang Jibao handed over this task to Su Mingran.

Su Mingran knew that this was Wang Jibao's test for herself, so she happily accepted this task.

In order to facilitate Su Mingran's work, Wang Xibao asked Su Mingran to select the palace maids she was satisfied with in each palace to be her assistant. This is also a privilege for all female officials in the Zhan Mansion in the future. In this way, it can also solve the employment problem of some palace maids.

In the future, even if her female officer meets a male officer, she will be quite majestic. That's what Wang Jibao wants.

Of course, it is still up to the question of how many palace maids each level of female official can be equipped. But for this vigil, Wang Xibao assigned twenty people to Su Mingran for her to send.

By the time Wang Jibao returned home, it was past her usual time to sleep.

At this time, Zhu Yonghong and Zhu Linxi's father and son did not progress as smoothly as Wang Jibao, which can be described as anxious.

This time the problem is just too tricky. The army on the side of Dingguo pressed the border, and even if the Yongguo side reinforced them Shaoguo, it is estimated that they would lose some cities for the time being.

"Regent, we might as well send someone over and talk to them." It was a scholar who said this.

"No, Lord Regent, we can't talk peace. It's a big deal to fight with them. The minister was willing to lead his troops to Longkou Pass and go for reinforcements. "This is a military general.

"But the other party is menacing, and when our reinforcements arrive there, it is estimated that they have lost their troops and broken the city, so our people will also suffer. And now that we have just experienced the palace change, how can we have so much energy to fight hard with each other, it is better to negotiate peace, and then plan for the future. ”

"How could the other party make peace with us so easily? Besides, as long as we open our mouths to talk about peace first, then the other party will only open their mouths, and when the time comes, what we will lose will not be as simple as one or two cities. ”

"But if we are defeated, the morale of the entire Shao army will also be affected!"

For a while, there was a debate about this in the court.

"King Shao, what do you see?" Zhu Yonghong's head was big when everyone argued. There is no point in this kind of pilgrimage at times. It's up to the two sides to fight a war of words.

Zhu Linxi thought for a while and replied, "Lord Regent, this battle is certain. Now the key is to see what method is used to break this game. ”

Zhu Yonghong raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? It seems that King Shao already has an idea? ”

"The idea is that there are some, but they haven't taken shape yet. I am here to discuss with you. Zhu Linxi then briefly talked to everyone about the current advantages of the enemy and us, as well as the methods he could think of to deal with the enemy.

"You must know that Longkou Pass is only the first line of defense for Shaoguo, and it is not the most critical line of defense for Shaoguo. Behind Longkou Pass, there are also Pingmen Pass and Shaoxia Pass. And Shaoxia Pass is the most critical pass of our Shaoguo on the first line of Dingguo. Only when the Shaoxia Pass is broken, can Dingguo drive straight into the territory of our Shaoguo. So at present, it seems that if you don't want to fight hard, you can give up Longkou Pass first. Let's concentrate all our forces to defend Shaoxia Pass.

And the soldiers and horses that our troops and horses that went to reinforce later can take the barbarian frontier and attack the Wucheng Pass of Dingguo by surprise. The Wucheng Pass of Dingguo is as important as the Shaoxia Pass of our Shaoguo. If you take Wucheng Pass, you can take advantage of the situation to level many cities in its vicinity.

Once the Dingguo Wucheng Pass is broken, then the Dinghuang will definitely turn around and negotiate with us. Otherwise, once we unite with Yongguo, it will pose a huge threat to the territory of the entire country. In this way, they will inevitably offer more favorable conditions to exchange forces with us.

Even if we can't capture Wucheng Pass, it is estimated that the other party will find a way to deploy troops to defend Wucheng Pass, so that our current threat on the front line of Longkou Pass will definitely be lifted. ”

Zhu Linxi's general meaning is to sacrifice the less important Longkou Pass and find a way to sneak attack the other party's more important Wucheng Pass. This is like the story that Wang Jibao once told him about Wei Wei and saving Zhao.

The reason why Dingguo has not attacked Shaoguo, which is relatively weak in comparison, is because Shaoguo is mountainous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The land of the country is relatively flat and vast, and it is not so easy to defend.

But if you want to take Wucheng Pass, you must wipe out the surrounding barbarian tribes.

The minister felt that King Shao was reasonable. But the minister wants to remind King Shao that those barbarian tribes are not so easy to deal with! Especially since they know a lot about Qimen Dunjia and are good at using poison. It's not easy for our people to break through the past. It is estimated that this is also the reason why Emperor Dinghuang dared to press his troops at Longkou Pass this time. Feng Junting, who was already the general of Yipin Pingxi, had to stand up and remind them of the father and son.

Zhu Yonghong nodded slightly. Even if the method that Zhu Linxi thought of was the best way at present, it was quite difficult to implement. At present, it seems that the war is certain. But how can the Dingjun be repulsed? You still have to study it carefully.

After all, this war was fought on the land of their Shao country, so the longer the two sides lasted, the more unfavorable it would be for them, and the more their side would lose.

So Zhu Yonghong decided to put this aside for the time being and leave it for tomorrow to continue the discussion.

His mind is also a mess now, and he is really in a dilemma where no one is available now.

When everyone dispersed, Zhu Yonghong decided to accompany his son to go to Shaowang's Mansion to see his wife. Of course, he also wanted to ask Wang Jibao what strange ideas he had.

Although some of Wang Jibao's ideas are not suitable for the table, they can often bring great inspiration to their father and son.

The two chatted as they walked out: "I asked you to write to your father-in-law to invite them over, but do you have eyebrows?" ”

Zhu Linxi nodded and said, "My father-in-law has already brought my third uncle and several cousins to Shaoguo on the way, and it is estimated that it will not be long before I come." ”

"When will that master arrive?" Zhu Yonghong continued to ask.

"Master Lu Yuan went back to the clan because he had something to ask for, otherwise he would have come with us. But he also set off earlier than his father-in-law, and from the letter a few days ago, it is estimated that it will only be these days. ”

Zhu Yonghong nodded and said, "That person is also a talented person. ”

"Hmm." Although Lu Yuan was looked down upon by his little daughter-in-law in dealing with the problem of his backyard, this person is indeed a rare talent.

The father and son never thought of recruiting Wang Xibaoniang's family to Shaoguo, their power is bound to become bigger and bigger, which may cause such a thing as the dictatorship of foreign relatives.

They are really in the time of hunger ~ thirst for employing people, and even if they think of it, they will do it now.

Although this approach is extremely unkind to Yongguo, who makes the conditions they offer more superior? Who made Wang Jibao marry into Shaoguo?

Lu Yuan will then bring Lu Hongwei and Lu Hongbo to Shaoguo with their children, Wang Jibao knows about this, but her father and brother have also been poached by high salaries and high positions, and she really doesn't know anything.

Zhu Linxi did this completely and secretly from Wang Xibao, in order to give Wang Jibao a huge surprise.

Who will marry their daughter abroad, and they will give up the already excellent, extremely advantageous conditions to come to a strange environment together, and everything needs to start over? It is estimated that Wang Ziyi and his family will be.

You must know that the Anguo Mansion is the first-class lintel of Yongguo. You must know that Wang Ziyi is a first-class scholar, and no one dares to underestimate his status in Yongguo, and he is also a first-class high-ranking official. You must know that Wang Yuxun is now the Dali Siqing of Sanpin, and his future prospects are even more limitless. But people just give up and give up. said that he would pack and come to Shaoguo, and he came.

For them, the only thing they can't let go of is the elderly Wang Laoguo and his wife.

The old couple has been sick one after another since Wang Jibao left. Fortunately, after receiving Wang Jibao's letter and the gift she sent back, he gradually got better.

When they heard that Zhu Linxi and their father and son were in difficulty, Wang Laoguo gathered the whole family in one place, carefully analyzed the situation between Shaoguo, Yongguo and Dingguo, and finally decided to accompany Wang Xibao to advance and retreat.

Yongguo has shown fatigue, even if Shaoguo can't do it, it is estimated that Yongguo will not be able to withstand Dingguo's attack.

For Prince Ziyi of Shao, he saw more potential stocks of Zhu Yonghong and his son. It is very important for a country to have a good leader.

Wang Ziyi believes that Zhu Yonghong and his son are the ones who do practical things. If there is really someone who can compete with Dingguo, it is more secure to Shaoguo.

This is also a major event related to the rise and fall of their entire clan. Although now Emperor Yongsheng and the crown prince are very good to their family. But since Wang Jibao married to Shaoguo, this relationship has become more and more delicate.

Their family must still have wealth and glory, but the power in their hands is bound to be slowly weakened. Of course, this is also human nature.
