Red House Shoufu

Chapter 325 Lin Xueshi's Anger and Confusion
During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty broke through the Eastern Turkic king's tent in one fell swoop, captured Jieli Khan, escorted him to Chang'an, and performed dances for the Emperor Li Yuan and Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Even though this period of history has passed hundreds of years, and the owner of the grassland has changed countless times, it is still an unspeakable shame, especially from the mouth of a young official of the Han Dynasty.

"Wow wow wow..."

"He said that the descendants of the gold family will eventually return to the capital city and rule over the lowly southerners..."

"It's wishful thinking, death deserves more!"

Lin Shu sneered, and raised his crossbow to aim at Matmu'er. The sternness in his eyes made Zhou Xiantong stand in front of Lin Shu. The lesson is the lesson, killing him will only add trouble to the apprentice."

"Two countries? Wala is nothing more than a vassal state of my Great Chu. A father teaches a son. Of course, he can teach him what he wants. Don't forget the saying, the father wants the son to die and the son has to die!"

As soon as the words fell, the hand crossbow was fired, and Matmur yelled in pain, his left ear disappeared for a while, and the feathered arrow hit the bluestone board in a daze, with a piece of rotten meat on the arrow.

"Yeah, the shot missed!"

Lin Shu looked at the hand crossbow with an exaggerated expression, flicked it twice and said to Matmoor who was glaring at him: "Sorry, I haven't played these games for a long time, and I'm a bit unfamiliar. Just bear with me, I'll load the arrow right away." Ya, do it again. This time, you will never make a mistake, and it will not make you feel pain!"

Matt Muer naturally couldn't understand Chinese, Zhou Xiantong next to him smiled wryly and wondered whether he should translate this passage.

"Bachelor, I beg you, the loss outweighs the gain by competing with a tartar!"

Zhou Xiantong would not let Matmuer die in front of the Sifang Pavilion, he quickly grabbed the hand crossbow, bowed to persuade him: "Your official knows that this tartar has made you angry, but after all, he is involved in the royal court of Oara. Many people in the DPRK are still looking forward to the repair of the two countries. If you do this, those people will only find an excuse to attack you. Just let them out after a lesson, and never dare to kill people..."

At the end, Zhou Xiantong whispered a few words in Lin Shu's ear, nothing more than that he would help teach Matmuer a lesson in the Sifang Pavilion, and it would definitely make his life worse than death.

Lin Shu nodded, borrowed the donkey from the slope, and returned a good word to Zhou Xiantong, then walked slowly to Matmuer, reached out his hand and quickly took off a waist knife inlaid with gemstones from his waist: "Come far away!" You are a guest, you are the prince of Wala, I will help you deal with the matter of injuring the people, so you don’t have to go to Shuntian Mansion to eat in prison. This waist knife is still worth a few taels of silver, and it can be used as medical expenses for the injured and mental damage."

Zhou Xiantong dutifully translated it this time, and Matt Muer was so angry that he almost didn't come up.He wowed for a while, and finally rolled his eyes and passed out.

Lin Shu sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "All the young and old are watching, he passed out by himself, it has nothing to do with me, right?"

The onlookers laughed and shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Someone else scolded with contempt: "It's just a tartar, if you die, you die, it has nothing to do with Liu Yuangong!"

Lin Shu happily clasped his fists to thank the people around him, and after a circle, the tense and bloody atmosphere just now became joyful in an instant.

Zhou Xiantong looked enviously at the popular Lin Shu, then at Matmuer lying unconscious on the ground, sighed secretly, and ordered his subordinates to carry the two back to the Sifang Pavilion, and asked the imperial physician to come for diagnosis and treatment.

This scimitar is still very valuable, especially the gems inlaid on the handle and scabbard. Xue's shop bid 10,000 taels of silver together.

Lin Shu arranged for 500 taels to be given to the injured Dalang to see and recuperate.Then they gave 500 taels each to the "Zhenxicheng" who saw the injustice on the road, and the "Sajia" who pulled the weeping willow upside down, in recognition of their brave deeds.Sifang Pavilion received 500 5000 taels, and the remaining [-] taels were sent directly to the bank of the household department.

After everything was settled, Lin Shu and Xue Pan whispered for a while, and then went back home.

Lin Shu, who let out a bad breath, was in a much happier mood, humming a ditty and writing a memorial in the study.It was really fun to beat someone, but it won't take long for this matter to spread throughout the capital. It is estimated that before the palace gate is locked, the memorandum of impeachment will be sent to the Secretary of General Administration.

What should be prepared should be prepared in advance. For example, according to the "Chu Law Shuyi", he pierced several bloody holes in Matmur with a hand crossbow. Although it can be characterized as assisting Shuntian Prefecture in arresting the suspects who injured people, the shot was a bit too much. up.

And he was suspected of taking personal revenge... Forget it, he pleaded guilty to this crime.It's just some fines, the poor Lin family is almost left with money.

As for the others, Lin Shu recounted his every move today, but he didn't expect to overturn that one of the laws.

So Lin Shu called Lai Fuquan according to the regulations in the law, and asked him to pay 500 taels from the account, 300 taels were sent to the Ministry of Punishment to pay the fine, and 200 taels were sent to the Sifang Pavilion, which was regarded as a wound for Matt Muer. Soup fee.

In the afternoon, as expected, the Secretary of General Administration received several memorials to impeach Lin Shu one after another, and of course he also received Lin Shu's apology.

Zuo Tongzheng Ma Fang, who was on duty, sighed while holding his forehead. A mere Oala prince could cause such a big disturbance.Two days ago, the Secretary of the General Administration was busy with the marriage affairs, so he stopped for a long time, and he was about to start busy again.

He ordered his officials to sort the received memorials into categories as soon as possible. Those related to Prince Matmur of Wala, those who impeached Lin Shu, and those who supported Lin Shu should all be sent to the Hall of Qinzheng.

After the emperor finished reading these papers, he chuckled and picked up his pen to start reviewing.

"Qing said that Lin Shu was in vain of human life. The Oirats are human beings, but our people in Great Chu are not human? Since you care about Oirat so much, how about I send you a gift to go north to the grassland?"

"You and others jointly impeached Lin Shu for seriously injuring Prince Oara, which is the same crime as arbitrarily provoking frontier quarrels. I have doubts, why did the tens of thousands of grassland Tartars outside the Great Wall of Chen Bing come here? Is it because of Lin Shu?"

"Everything is said to be benevolent. When Oara bullied our people, where is the benevolence? When the souls of the Tartars are crying, where is the benevolence?"

"There are Tartars who bully our people, and Lin Shu acted bravely when he saw righteousness. What's wrong? I didn't agree to the policy of getting married. How did you start talking about private revenge? How can you be crooked if you eat the salary of Chu and be supported by the people? Buttocks, do your best to protect the captives!"

After a while, the emperor felt relieved and sulked. After reviewing the memorials to impeach Lin Shu, he called his servant and asked him to send it back to the Secretary of General Administration.

Xia Shouzhong felt that something was wrong, but he said: "My lord, this old servant has the courage, or I should stay in the middle school."

snort!
The emperor snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? I just want the people of the world to see what kind of people these people are! Everyone speaks about benevolence, but keeps their mouths about righteousness. When they are frightened by the Oirats, they want to take an innocent woman to death. Seeking peace, really disgraces me, Nakahara Erlang!"

After he finished speaking, he read Lin Shu's apologetic memorial, laughed and scolded the little fox, and then wrote a sentence on the apologetic memorial: "Since it is an apology, let's make a good copy of "Mencius"!"

"Big companion, send someone to send this memorial back to the Lin family, and tell Lin Shu to read "Mencius" carefully, lest others say that he is not benevolent."

Xia Shouzhong bowed to promise, the emperor's originally depressed mood improved a lot because of the review just now, thinking of the little prince in Fengzao Palace, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he happily walked towards the harem.

……

Matt Muir's injury may seem scary, but it's actually just a skin trauma.Lin Shu deliberately avoided the vital point, and the imperial physician poured down two decoctions, and he woke up.

On the contrary, the interpreter was struck by the willow tree, and his internal organs were seriously injured. Now he has more qi in and less qi out.

The meals provided by the Sifang Pavilion to the Oala mission were so poor that the sand was mixed with rice grains, without any meat, either radish and cabbage or green vegetables and tofu.

Matt Muer protested several times, and the answer he got was that the imperial physician had explained that he was injured, and the meaty smell was like hair, which was not conducive to the healing of the wound...

At the same time, the imperial army took over the guards of the Sifang Pavilion, and even prohibited the Oirats from going out.The reason is that the rangers in the capital were very angry at Prince Oara's wounding of innocent people, and threatened to hang the heads of Oara people on the city gate tower to show the public.

In order to protect the noble descendants of the Golden Family, the imperial army was ordered to protect Wala and his party until those rangers were caught.

The Oirat mission is not short of money, especially Matmoor, a member of the royal family, who can eat and drink in the best restaurants in the capital for many days with any gem on his body.

It's a pity that he was trapped in the small Sifang Pavilion. He just wanted to ask the envoys from other feudal kingdoms to help him bring some food back, but no one dared to help.The current situation is to choose sides and stand in teams. Who would dare to take sides in a small country like Korea and Nanyue?
On the second day of the Fengtian Palace, Weng Tongshu, who was limping, came to the palace with his strength. After Xia Shouzhong shouted "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do", he asked for a play.

He advised the emperor to put the peace of the people and the overall situation of the court as the most important thing, and agreed to Wala's request for marriage.He also bluntly said that Matmur, the Prince of Wala, loves the county owner of Rongjia, and the father of the county owner of Rongjia is the loyalty of the country, and his daughter should inherit the father's will and be loyal to the country...

Also, Liu Fang, the first-class son of Li Guogong's government, made a statement to support the proposal.He also said that the Lord of Rongjia County, who is beautiful and wise, understands the righteousness, and must put all the people in the world as the most important thing. He followed Zhaojun in the Han Dynasty and Wencheng in the Tang Dynasty, and went to Mobei to quell the war and build a good relationship between the two countries.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen officials came out to support the proposal, and some even advised Lin Shu that the Lin family was favored by the state, so they should take the initiative to make peace, so as not to affect the overall situation.

"It seems that you love ministers are still very caring, and you have even planned the time route for the marriage."

Xia Shouzhong sent a copy of the memorial to the emperor. The emperor read it and praised: "Huang Cheng, the doctor of the Ministry of War, Lu Yu, the prime minister of the Taichang Temple, Bo Wukaizhi, the master of the Taipu Temple..."

"Chen is here!"

The emperor glanced at the three people who appeared in the hall, and chuckled: "The three love ministers are all loyal ministers, and they are so concerned about the safety of the people in the frontier. How about this, the Shaanxi chief envoy made a presentation a few days ago, and extended Suizhen, Qingyang Mansion, and Pingliang Mansion are short of officials, since Qing and others feel the same way, let’s go to Shaanxi.”

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

"His Majesty……"

"I'm old and weak, I'm afraid I can't stand the wind and sand..."

"Aiqing's health is so bad? The official department, Bo Wu Kaizhi, the master of the imperial servant temple, is loyal to state affairs and even suffers from illness. I can't bear the suffering of loyal ministers. I bestow honor and honor. The official department will do it according to the regulations!"

"Your Majesty, minister... minister..."

"Ok?"

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

The emperor quickly cut through the mess and dealt with the three officials.However, these few people were all middle and low-level officials, and they failed to dissuade the remaining dozen or so people.

"Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Lin Shu stepped out of the class and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have a question, but I can't think of an answer."

The emperor smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal: "Speak!"

"Whether it's Zhaojun or Wencheng, the Xiongnu and the Han, Tubo and the Tang, can peace be exchanged for peace?"

Lin Shu turned to Weng Tongshu: "Master Weng, you have been in the Imperial Academy for more than ten years, and you think you are familiar with historical books and classics. May I ask Mr. Weng, is the policy of getting married really useful?"

Weng Tongshu responded immediately: "Why is it useless? It is recorded in "Hanshu·Yuandi Ji": "In the first month of spring in the first year of Jingning, the Xiongnu Han Xiedan came to the court. The imperial edict said: "The Xiongnu Zhizhi Shanyu betrayed etiquette and righteousness. Fu Qigu, Han Xie Shanyu never forgets his kindness, admires propriety and righteousness, and restores the ceremony of court congratulations. I hope that the pass on will be endless, and there will be no military revolution in the future.It changed the Yuan to Jingning, and bestowed Shanyu Daizhao Yeting Wang Qiang as the Yan family. 'In the following decades, the frontier was peaceful, and there were no swordsmen. "

"Master Weng also said it, but it was only a few decades. Not to mention that only a dozen years after Princess Wencheng got married, the blood of Tubo and the Tang army in Dafeichuan was flowing like a river. Can a woman be exchanged for a stable border? What do you say? Believe it too?"

Lin Shu turned to the first-class son Liu Fang again: "Master Liu, I don't know when the Duke of Li's mansion will no longer be able to hold a knife, and it must rely on hiding behind a weak woman to keep safe. When the old Duke was alive, he swore no I didn't expect that in less than a hundred years, the descendants of his old man would like to have two surnames with the Wala people."

"This is the overall situation. Now that Hexi is restless, if Oara is provoked again at this time, how will the court deal with it? Military and state affairs, what do you, a young child, know? You don't understand wars!"

After all, Liu Fang is the patriarch of the Liu family, one of the eight lords, and Lin Shu had just been squeezed out for a while, and she couldn't hold back her face.He blushed and found an excuse to refute a few words.

Lin Shu chuckled, and responded, "Yes, I don't understand, but he helped Yinggong and Zhang Ge to quell the Henan Rebellion, and held down two thousand rebels in Tianmen Mountain with less than 500 people. Unlike Lord Liu... Hey, I really don’t know what battles Lord Liu has fought and how many enemies he has killed.”

"You... are extremely rude!"

snort!
Liu Fang couldn't say what Lin Shu had said, she flicked her sleeves, retreated into the queue and stopped talking.Many civil and military officials in the hall were amused by the dialogue between Lin Shu and Liu Fang.

"Lin Aiqing, don't be rude. The country has been stable for decades, but Liu Aiqing has no chance. Li Guogong's family has been in the army for generations, and is a family of brave warriors. If the frontiers are not peaceful in the future, Liu Aiqing will definitely lead the way and fight bloody battles. Liu Aiqing , am I right?"

The emperor had already said this, so Liu Fang naturally couldn't deny the bravery of the Duke of Liguo, so she could only bite the bullet and reply: "Your Majesty's words are true, and the ministers and their clansmen will always be the swordsmen of the Great Chu!"

Lin Shu bowed deeply to Liu Fang: "Your official is rude, please don't blame Mr. Liu!"

snort!
Liu Fang casually raised her hand to signal that it's okay, she snorted coldly and stopped talking.Lin Shu looked at the others again, and was so frightened that none of them dared to look at him.

In the end, Lin Shu could only bow to the emperor, and solemnly remonstrated: "I never believe that the policy of marriage can quell the flames of war. In Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng went to Tibet and brought many classics on agriculture, engineering, and medicine, and a large number of craftsmen and farmers. , Doctors accompanied, so that the national power of Tubo suddenly increased. Your Majesty, marriage may not bring peace, but to a large extent it will breed tigers. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

　Originally, I wanted to add another [-] words, but I was suddenly called to the county for an inspection today, and I came back too late, so I will add it tomorrow.Good night!
