Chapter 54: Eternal Peace? Then destroy their country and the species! (Ask for collection, ask for reading!) )
On the second day, Jia Sanchun, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and Qin Keqing all came to the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.
However, they are more here to help, and the people who can really be said to be here to help are Wang Xifeng and Li Kun.
Wang Xifeng is the housekeeper of the Jia family, and she is the one who organizes any banquet in the Jia family on weekdays, so she can be regarded as experienced.
As for Li Kun's words, although she has lived in seclusion in the back house for many years, her father is the former Guozi priest wine.
can be regarded as a wealthy family, so he still has some experience in this kind of thing.
It's not like the girls of the Jia family, even when they go out to various banquets, Mrs. Wang won't take them, let alone let them participate in housework.
"Thank you, sisters."
Lin Daiyu looked at the girls and said with a smile, of course, Jia Xichun, the youngest of the three springs, actually came to make up the numbers, after all, her young age can't help much.
As for Lin Hao's words, he was not there today, because Lin Hao went to the palace early in the morning, just because Lin Hao's vacation was over.
Emperor Jingwen calculated the time, and when Lin Hao moved into the Hou Mansion, his vacation would just end.
Now that the court meeting has only started for an hour, it will be better for Lin Hao to come up with it for a while.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, second sister-in-law Lian, you know some of our people, how should this list be listed?"
Lin Daiyu said distressedly, she didn't know any of the officials in Shenjing City, so she could only ask the two of them.
Li Kun looked at Wang Xifeng, she still knew some things before, but since Jia Zhu died, she has become a transparent person in the Jia family, so she doesn't know as much as Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said.
"First of all, the major nobles must be invited, such as the Four Kings and Eight Princes, and so on."
"The second is the major officials, it depends on what the Hou Ye thinks about the housewarming banquet, and what are the requirements for the grade of the officials?"
Wang Xifeng asked.
Who knew that Lin Daiyu said indifferently.
"Brother Hao handed everything over to me, so the two sisters-in-law will do what they think."
Listening to Lin Daiyu's words, all the women looked at her with envy, this is the housewarming banquet of the Hou Mansion, which is actually a big event.
But it's such a big thing, Lin Hao handed it all over to Lin Daiyu, and having such a younger brother is really an enviable thing.
In the end, after discussion, the list was set above the five-rank officials, after all, the five-rank officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were qualified to attend the Great Court Meeting.
Even if the palace holds a banquet, the minimum requirement is that the fifth rank official or above in Beijing is above.
When Lin Daiyu and the others were preparing the list, there was also a quarrel in the palace at this time.
The reason for the quarrel is simple, that is, the conditions of peace talks for Tatars.
Lin Hao's losses to the Tatars in that battle were too great, and the Tatars could no longer bear it, so they jumped out to negotiate peace with Da Zhou.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were arguing endlessly because of the terms of the peace talks, and some people even said that the two sides would marry, and the princess would be exchanged for long-term security on the frontier.
When he heard this, Lin Hao couldn't help but sneer.
His voice was very conspicuous, and suddenly the entire court was quiet, and everyone looked at Lin Hao curiously.
"Ahem, what is the opinion of Zhenbei Hou?"
Emperor Jingwen coughed and said, his words didn't look like he was facing a courtier, but the hundred officials were obviously used to such a scene.
Lin Hao was originally in a state of paddling for the first time in the early court, but what these guys said was too annoying, so Lin Hao still couldn't hold back after all.
"Your Majesty, the minister just doesn't understand a little, it's obvious that my Great Zhou won a complete victory, and Tatar don't want to turn over for at least ten years."
"But why is it that all this marquis hears in the mouths of your ministers is groveling."
Listening to Lin Hao's words, the faces of the hundred officials were instantly gloomy, although they were afraid of Lin Hao, but they thought that in this court, they were expressing their opinions and expressing their opinions, Lin Hao should not be able to do anything.
So I saw an old minister stand up and say.
"Master Hou doesn't dare to agree with the fallacy of the old ministers, my Great Zhou is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, so I naturally have the bearing of belonging to the kingdom of the Celestial Empire."
"Since the Tatars have taken the initiative to sue for peace, why don't we take this opportunity to conclude an eternal non-aggression pact, so that after thousands of years, our great periphery can still enjoy eternal peace."
Listening to the words of this old minister, there are actually many officials who agree.
Lin Hao was helpless in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with this ancient official?
is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, so why don't you see them caring about people's livelihood and suffering?
"Eternal peace? This is simple, Ben Hou can lead the army to exterminate the Tatar country, so isn't it the eternal peace of the frontier? ”
Lin Hao's words instantly quieted down the entire court, and none of the officials who had been talking about it before dared to speak.
Sure enough, it's still the Marquis of Zhenbei, and this murderous intent is too heavy.
Lin Hao didn't like this kind of method of sending women in case of indecision, although from their standpoint, marriage was indeed the best way.
But Lin Hao had a different opinion, only to see Lin Hao glance at the audience, and then said coldly.
"Ben Hou's bloody victory is not allowed to be tarnished like this, isn't it Tatar? After a few years, Benhou personally led a large army to completely annihilate it, turning the Tatars into slaves of my Great Zhou. ”
"One by one, they won the battle but wanted to send the princess to sue for peace, it was really a shame to throw it home."
Listening to Lin Hao's words, the hundred officials all lowered their heads in shame, in fact, it was a group of corrupt old ministers who advocated this, and this group of people cared about reputation.
As long as they promote marriage and peace talks between the two countries, then their reputation is to prevent the war between the two countries, and then educate the barbarians, and so on.
So it's not that these old guys don't know that the Tatars are white-eyed wolves that can't be fed, but they don't care at all, because what if they think about it, even if the Great Zhou is dead?
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty is dead, but the new dynasty will inevitably need civil officials to govern the country, especially their great Confucians and scholarly families who have been inherited for many years.
Here you can refer to the descendants of Confucius, no matter what dynasty or what nationality has obtained the world, they must be offered.
Naturally, there are many similar families and so-called Confucians in the Great Zhou, which is why they open their mouths and close their mouths to be the way of the sage, and then advocate that war is better than peace, killing is better than education, and so on.
Emperor Jingwen was secretly happy in his heart, what he wanted was Lin Hao's support, he was also very unhappy before, it was obvious that they won the battle in the Great Zhou, why did they want to send the princess to kiss?
The most important thing is that this group of old guys has bad intentions, and they actually said that they should send out their princess in order to show their sincerity, that is, his own daughter of Emperor Jingwen.
How does this make Emperor Jingwen not angry? If it weren't for the fear of turmoil in the court, he would have cut down all these old guys one by one.
After all, how old is your princess? It's also thanks to these old guys who can figure it out.
Lin Hao's words certainly shocked many people, but in the end, an old minister stood up and bowed to Lin Hao.
"Master Hou, we naturally believe in your strength, but recently there has been news from the frontier that the Tatars want to form an alliance with other steppe tribes."
Hearing this old minister's words, the court was in an uproar, and even Emperor Jingwen's face changed greatly.
No wonder he said why these old guys want to propose peace today, it turns out that they have already gotten the news, the alliance of the major tribes of the grassland? This is indeed a great threat!
