Red House Shoufu

Chapter 361 Younger Brother Chapter Three Five Seven
Lin's breakfast has always been relatively simple, red dates and millet porridge with cold vegetables and small steamed buns. The brother and sister chatted a few gossips while eating.

Daiyu saw that Lin Shu's dark circles were extremely obvious, so she persuaded her to take a day off today to rest well, mainly because Lin Shu's serious illness a few days ago scared her.

"Don't worry, Yu'er, I'm fine. I stayed up a little late last night, so I can just rest for a while when I'm on duty."

Sucking and sucking, Lin Shu finished drinking the porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and prepared to go to the cabinet to find Wei Qinghe.Before going out, Daiyu asked Xueyan to fetch a thin blanket, and told Lin Shu to cover her body when resting.

Lin Shu rubbed Daiyu's head: "If you get bored at home, go and play with your sister Yuan and the others. The Ministry of Industry is quite busy these days, so you can eat dinner first, without waiting for me to come back."

……

In the past few days, not only the Ministry of Industry has been relatively busy, but the entire center has been operating rapidly.King Qin's army gathered near Gyeonggi has reached nearly 400,000.

The emperor appointed Zhang Yue, the commander of the British public and the Beijing battalion, as the deputy commander of the three armies, and drew [-] elite soldiers from King Qin's army to form five Jingwei, named Zuoxiaoqiwei, Zuozhenweiwei, and Wujingwei.

At the same time, an order was issued to the Ministry of War to assist the crown prince Zuowei to lead Lin Shu, select [-] forbidden troops, and fill them into the sixth rate of the East Palace, directly under the crown prince Gao Wancheng.The Ministry of Industry built a sufficient amount of firearms and delivered them to the East Palace Six Rates for training, striving to form a certain combat effectiveness before the end of the year.

At the same time, Bo Niu Jizong, the first-class Boniu Jizong, was in command, and [-] forbidden troops from the governor's office of the Five Armies were dispatched to the north, and they went out with Kaiping and Liaodong reinforcements to face the Oala enemy. Wide buffer zone.

It's not that the emperor doesn't want to go north, it's that the internal struggle has reached the most critical juncture.Zuo Lan, the commander of the Embroidery Guards, just sent back the latest information from Shanxi a few days ago. The faithful Wang Gao Yongyi is not only ambitious enough, but also stupid enough. , to embroider wedding dresses for others.

The emperor read the regulations for the six-rate training of the East Palace written by Lin Shu overnight. Although it was not perfect, the basic shelf had been set up.

As for the gunpowder, firearms and other research and development experience attached at the back, he couldn't understand it either, so he put it aside after a few symbolic questions.

"Okay, while it's still early, you and the people from the Ministry of War will go outside the city to select suitable soldiers and horses. I have already told the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion that they will arrange for you two suitable deputies to assist you. "

……

dong dong dong dong!

The sound of gathering drums was loud, and the Crown Prince Gao Wancheng, dressed in golden armor and wearing a ritual knife at his waist, came close to the camp of the Imperial Army. Qianhu officials Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan.

It has to be said that the generals selected by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War for Gao Wancheng are very suitable. Although Liu Xianglian was born in a side branch of the Liguo Duke's Mansion, she has a lot of estrangement from Wu Xun's lineage.

Not to mention Xue Pan, who has just changed his family and has no foundation in the army, so it is a perfect fit to be placed in the East Palace.Judging from the current situation, if the father is strong and the son is strong, it is better not to pick on the children of Wu Xun, there is always nothing wrong with avoiding some taboos.

The mind of a creature like the emperor is the most difficult to guess. No one wants the foundation of the country to be shaken. It is best to take precautions in advance.

Gao Wancheng spoke a few words on the occasion vigorously, and then handed over the rest to his main deputy Lin Shu.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies sent 10,000 people for the crown prince to choose. Lin Shu asked these people to stand upright and bask in the sun. Anyone who couldn't hold on was the one who lost the election.

In the capital city in July and August, the weather was at its hottest in the afternoon, and Gao Wancheng was still wearing a golden armor. Standing on the high platform, he felt as if he was being put into a stove, which was unbearable.

Even though Lin Shu was still in official uniform, he was sweating profusely, standing on Gao Wancheng's left side and suffering together.

Jiang Yunen, the eunuch of the East Palace, remonstrated anxiously: "Your Highness, it's hot here, you'd better go back to the palace and wait. It's good that Master Lin is here..."

Gao Wancheng was a bit overwhelmed at first, but he was immediately shaken by Jiang Yunen's persuasion.He was so hot that he couldn't bear it, and he was too tired to speak.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a stern shout from the left side: "Bold Jiang Yunen, if you ruin His Highness's important affairs, can you afford it? Don't back down!"

This stern shout startled Gao Wancheng, he had never seen Lin Shu so serious before.Lin Shu's perception of Gao Wancheng has always been gentle and refined, and he even spoke softly to the eunuchs in the palace.

Lin Shu's sudden outburst was indeed unexpected.At the same time, it also woke up the dazed prince who had been exposed to the sun. If he left like this today, the newly built East Palace Six Rates would lose a lot of loyalty.

As the crown prince in peacetime, there are not many opportunities to share the joys and sorrows with his subordinates. If he can win the loyalty of the East Palace Six Rates in the first place, he must seize every opportunity.

Gao Wancheng gritted his teeth and persisted until there were only 3000 people left in the school field.When he returned to the carriage, before he took off the armor on his body, he was already paralyzed and unable to move.

"Help Bengong take off this armor, it's too heavy, heavy and hot!"

Jiang Yunen showed his distressed face, and complained in a low voice: "Master Lin is really serious. He actually let His Highness stand under the scorching sun with those gangsters... This servant feels sorry for His Highness, and he scolded His Highness just after saying a word. Others thought he was He is the Lord of the Eastern Palace..."

"presumptuous!"

The exhaustion on Gao Wancheng's face, who had just taken off his battle armor, disappeared in an instant. His face was frosty, and he looked indifferently at his valet who had been with him all the time.

Jiang Yunen was so frightened that he knelt on the carriage, not daring to look up.

Only Gao Wancheng said indifferently: "After returning to the palace, I slapped my mouth fifty times. I don't want to hear such words from your mouth again!"

……

The newly-built East Palace Six Rates is the most talked about thing among the people in the capital these days, especially the prince who has set an example and has been eating, living and training with the soldiers for three consecutive days, and the government and the public are full of admiration.

After the emperor heard about it, he rushed to the school grounds of the Eastern Palace as soon as possible, and rewarded the entire Eastern Palace with a lot of wine and meat. He also gave the battle flag, and the golden unicorn was embroidered on the red flag. He praised his son as a royal unicorn. It is also giving a name to the newly established Six Rates of the East Palace: Qilin Army!
In August, the period of winning laurel is approaching, and it is also the time of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the festive atmosphere in the capital is getting stronger.

It was a holiday on the sixth day of August, and Lin Shu, who had been busy for nearly a month, finally had time to rest.

Starting from mid-July, he will not only be busy arranging the westward transportation of corn, potatoes and other grains, but also pay attention to the rectification of officials in Guanzhong and the construction of firearms by the Ministry of Industry.

The most important thing is the training situation of the sixth rate of the East Palace. Every day, I have to spare more than an hour to go to the school grounds to listen to reports from Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan, and then constantly improve the training plan I made according to the actual situation.

"Brother, try the sorbet I made!"

Xueyan brought two bowls of ice cream made of fruit and milk, and Lin Shu, who was lying in a daze on the rocking chair, immediately regained his spirits.

On such a hot day, nothing beats a bowl of sorbet to comfort you!
Lin Shu was full of praise, but couldn't stop spooning, and ate up the ice cream in the bowl in a short while.

"Yu'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and yesterday's mung bean snacks are also delicious."

"Hee hee, I went to the palace a few days ago, and the imperial concubine taught me specially. The empress will also make a lot of Western desserts. When I learn how to make them, I will try them for my brother."

After eating the ice cream, Lin Shu slumped on the rocking chair again, chatting gossip with Daiyu for a while.

In the afternoon when the tiger is raging in autumn, it is perfect to lie in the shade and spend your days leisurely.Knowing that he was panting and wanted to make a cry, but was knocked down by the servants of the Lin family, for fear of disturbing the siblings who were chatting.

"Crackling..."

Suddenly, the whole capital seemed to be boiling. Starting from the direction of the imperial city, the sound of firecrackers gradually spread to all directions.

Immediately after the sound of firecrackers, cheers came from all around: "Da Chu Wansheng! Da Chu Wansheng!"

This is the unique sound of cheering in unison of the imperial army, and it will only appear after the news of victory enters Beijing.Could it be that Kaiping hit Wala hard?But the current strategy of the imperial court is to hang the Oirat army, stabilize the pass, and then take turns to transfer the guards of the forbidden army to use actual combat training.

Lin Shu's mind suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes widened immediately: "It's the navy! It must be that Uncle won a big victory in Silla!"

The good news that can fill the capital to celebrate is definitely the kind that kills tens of thousands, but defeats thousands of miles or even destroys the country.Daiyu has also read a lot of military books in the past few years, and learned a lot about the military system of the Great Chu from Lin Shu.

Hearing Lin Shu talking about Jia Amnesty, he covered his mouth and exclaimed, "How long has it been since Uncle left? Silla is thousands of miles away, yet the good news came so quickly!"

"Master, Miss, Uncle won a great battle. The [-] army was divided into two groups, all the way to the Silla King City, all the way to the north along the coast of Silla, cutting off the back road of Silla's army attacking Liaodong. The three guards of Liaodong took the opportunity to kill Entering Silla territory, beheaded more than [-] Silla troops on the banks of the Yalu River. My uncle led the army into the Silla King City, beheaded [-] soldiers, captured [-] prisoners, and wiped out the Silla royal family. , ready to be sent to the capital. His Majesty has decreed that the capital will celebrate the three-day celebration, and King Wu can't help it!"

Fuquan came to the small courtyard excitedly with a copy of the good news. The firecrackers outside the door had already been lit, and they were crackling along with Fuquan's report.

Jia Amnesty fought well in this battle. He was able to judge the situation and divide the Dengzhou army into two teams, and cooperate with the three guards defending Liaodong to encircle and wipe out the invading enemy, which is a stroke of genius.

The original plan was to siege Wei and save Zhao, but Zhao was saved and Wei was captured.No wonder the emperor was so happy to see that the plan to encircle Wei to save Zhao and drive away tigers and wolves had succeeded!
dang dang dang...

When the Jingyang bell rang, Lin Shu couldn't care less about sighing.

Daiyu hurriedly asked Nanny Wang and Xueyan to put on court clothes for Lin Shu, and prepared the car to go to the palace for an audience.

At the same time, Madam Zhang was asked to go to the treasury to choose a suitable gift, and she had to go out to Rongguo Mansion to congratulate her later. The originally comfortable Lin Mansion became turbulent, and it took a long time before it became quiet again.

……

The main reason why the emperor summoned his ministers temporarily was to show off his literary and martial arts skills, and at the same time discuss with the ministers about the follow-up issues of Silla.

Regarding the plan for Silla, the emperor had already reached an agreement with the cabinet. He adopted the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water, moved all the royal family of Silla to the capital for captivity, and then sent the governor into Silla. land.

Of course, most of the officials in the court still had old ideas and failed to see the emperor's mind.It was not even clear why Jia She suddenly led an army to appear in Silla and defeated the Great Chu King City.

"Your Majesty, my minister impeached Rong Enbo and Jia pardoned him, started border quarrels without authorization, and killed the subjects of Silla, cruel and vicious..."

After eloquent for a while, he finally bowed to the ground and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, please judge!"

According to the past practice, this grey-bearded old Hanlin thought that there would be countless enthusiastic civil servants following in his footsteps to impeach him, but he never thought that no one would follow in the impeachment of Jia Amnesty today.

Just now, Fengtian Hall, which was still eager to praise the saint, suddenly became extremely quiet. The old Hanlin looked around in a daze, and opened his cloudy eyes in confusion.

But the emperor was in a very good mood today, so he didn't blame the poor old Hanlin.After all, this person is old, and he probably hasn't figured out why Jia She, who was originally banned from his home, appeared in Silla.

"So it's Wei Aiqing, get up quickly! Jia Lian, help Wei Aiqing up!"

The emperor said cheerfully: "Wei Aiqing may not know that this Silla is so bold that it refuses to accept Wang Hua, and even sent troops to attack the three guards in Liaodong. After thinking about it, I quietly sent Jia Enhou to lead the Dengzhou Navy and Huangling Guards to Silla by sea to quell the rebellion. ..."

That's right, in the eyes of the emperor, and even in the eyes of civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this war of annihilation is the imperial court's effort to put down the rebellion!

The emperor proudly narrated how he predicted the enemy's opportunity, came up with clever schemes, and ingeniously transferred the imperial guards to withdraw from Shanxi secretly.And how did he play a big show with Jia Amnesty to achieve today's big victory.

Wei Qinghe cooperated with the excited emperor with a smile, and Lin Shu naturally watched the show with his hands in his hands.The civil and military officials in the hall patted the emperor's dragon fart one after another, and shouted out my emperor's sage, and the sound of long live resounded throughout the hall.

When the emperor recovered from the excitement, the first thing to do was to discuss with the ministers about rewarding the three armies.

Although the army has not completely pacified the entire territory of Silla, this situation that is thousands of miles away must be rewarded quickly and accurately.

Even Wen Tongxuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who has always been extremely stingy, gave a generous performance. The Ministry of Accounting can allocate 250 million silver, which caused the Ministry of Rites to blow up the pot on the spot: "Old man Wen, yesterday you told me that you have no money to repair the capital. Gongyuan!"

Skipping this "little matter", the emperor also generously allocated 1 million taels of silver from the internal treasury, and the Ministry of War sent people to verify the military achievements, and quickly and accurately record the achievements and rewards!

As for the award of coach Jia She, there were different voices, mainly because of such great achievements, according to the regulations of the country, he should be granted a marquis.

But Jia Amnesty's title of Earl has only been conferred for two years.Moreover, many people in the court themselves are somewhat disgusted and jealous of Jia She, and if they can add some obstacles, they will naturally not let it go.

As a result, Fengtian Hall was divided into three factions. The two factions who were in favor of being a Marquis and those who opposed it nearly fought, while the neutral faction persuaded the fight against their will while happily watching the drama.

……

The entrance of Rongguo Mansion was covered with red firecracker debris, and the whole Ningrong Street smelled of fireworks.

As soon as the Lin family's carriage stopped at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng greeted her and personally helped Daiyu get off the carriage.

"I knew you were coming. Just as I was about to send someone to report to Huanghuafang, your messenger came over. Come in quickly, let's go to Rongxi Hall. The old lady is going to have a banquet right now!"

"Nephew, please greet Aunt Lin!"

It turned out that Jia Lan was guarding the gate, and the three uncles Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, and Jia Huan were not there, so Jia Lan, the nephew, brought some servants to welcome the guests.

Daiyu asked puzzledly, "Why is Lan Geer here alone? Where are Bao Yucong's third brother?"

Wang Xifeng helped his forehead and explained in a low voice: "Before the Jingyang bell rang, the second uncle just hung Brother Bao from a tree and beat him up. Now, the third brother Cong took the post and went to the imperial hospital to invite the imperial doctor, and the third brother Huan was in the front hall Talk to the guests."
