serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 76
Qian Qing outside the palace
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.

Shenwu General Feng Tang led a group of imperial troops and walked quickly.

A group of forbidden troops with guns and knives replaced the group of forbidden troops that originally guarded the palace gate, and lined up on both sides of the palace gate.

Feng Tang: "No one is allowed to approach the Qianqing Palace without the order of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty, and anyone who trespasses will be killed!"

All the soldiers: "No!"

With a wave of Feng Tang's hand, all the soldiers dispersed immediately, and surrounded the Qianqing Palace in three steps.

Outside the gate of the side hall, Xia Shouzhong and Dai Quan stood there quietly, and the eunuchs and little Huangmen who were usually serving were locked in the Prison Prison.

Inside the side hall

The Supreme Emperor sat on the upper throne in casual clothes, with a chair beside him, and Jianwu Emperor Wu Rui sat there with a calm expression.

A huge map is placed in the center of the hall, and on the left are the chief assistant Song Chengliang, the second assistant Zhang Shangwen and Liu Fang.On the right stand Niu Jizong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Shi Ding, Jia Hu and Shi Nai, the envoys of the Beijing Camp, and the military officers of Henan, Anhui, and Hubei provinces.

Jia Hu stood there staring at the map closely. This map was brought by the Supreme Emperor from the Dragon Head Palace. Once marked out, it also records the general distribution of Mongolian ministries.

This is much more detailed than the maps of the Ministry of War and Qianqing Palace.

Thinking about what Jia She said, maybe there are maps and detailed information of Western countries in the Dragon Head Palace.

This is just like the rulers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the previous life guarded against the Han people, and the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty also guarded against the people below. Tsk, no wonder the firearms of the Great Zhou Dynasty are so bad!
Emperor Jianwu turned his head to the Supreme Emperor and asked, "Father, shall we begin?"

The Supreme Emperor's eyes swept over everyone: "I'm here today to give a testimony. Our father and son will definitely not cooperate with the enemy. Of course, I believe that the few lovers will not, but the ugly words are ahead. After hearing the news, you all have to go to Caishikou."

Everyone lowered their heads: "Yes."

The Supreme Emperor nodded and smiled and said to the Emperor: "Come on."

Emperor Jianwu was moved, and hurriedly bowed his body: "Yes." Then he said to everyone: "Today, I only discuss two points. The specific combat plan will be arranged by you after you leave the customs according to your own actual situation. Let me talk about the first point, the three thousand battalion raid Should Yin Shan's plan be cancelled?"

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Liu Fang, "Old Duke."

Liu Fang thought for a while: "Your Majesty, the Khalkha tribe was wiped out by the Three Thousand Battalion and the Datong Guards in the last battle. Most of the main force was wiped out, and the Khalkha County King himself even lost his left hand. There is no threat, no need to take this risk."

Emperor Jianwu was startled, and asked anxiously, "What about the [-] battalion? Follow the army to destroy Chahar?"

Liu Fang: "Returning to the emperor, in the last war, the Ikezhao League provided Chahar with a large number of horses and weapons. Da Zhou must fight back, hurt them, let the Sixth League of Monan Mongolia know how powerful they are, and dare not follow easily The footsteps of the Manchu Tartars went south to attack the surrounding borders."

Niu Jizong: "I agree."

Emperor Jianwu looked at Shi Ding.

Shi Ding pondered for a moment: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Seeing that there was no objection, Emperor Jianwu nodded, "That's it." Then he said to Jia Hu: "Someone will tell Wang Ziteng and them personally about this matter."

Jia Hu replied loudly: "Observe the order."

The Supreme Emperor smiled: "What are you doing with such a loud voice? It made me jump."

Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, and then replied loudly: "Back to the Supreme Emperor, I have been staying in the barracks recently, and I can't change it for a while, please forgive me!"

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and raised his voice: "I can hear, I never deaf when I like things." Then he smiled at the emperor: "He is a good boy with filial piety."

Emperor Jianwu was also taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "What Emperor Father said is exactly."

The Supreme Emperor spoke again: "I heard that you have fallen in love with Lin Ruhai's daughter, and it is indeed a good family match. I will give you a marriage at that time."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Emperor Jianwu clenched his fists.

Jia Hu glanced at the emperor first, then knelt down: "I thank the Supreme Emperor for his kindness!"

The Supreme Emperor saw it in his eyes, and then smiled: "Get up." Then he asked the emperor: "This year is the fifth year, how does the emperor plan to arrange Lin Ruhai?"

Emperor Jianwu: "All the provinces are preparing to try to spread the poll tax into the land. There may be some troubles, and now there is a war. Yandao can't make any mistakes at this time.

Therefore, I thought, let Lin Ruhai fill this position first, and then it will depend on the situation.Either put it in a province to serve as a political envoy, or enter Beijing as a minister of the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Household Affairs. "

The Supreme Emperor nodded and stopped talking.

Emperor Jianwu withdrew his gaze, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let's talk about the second point, the Manchus will definitely disclose the news to the Chahar Ministry, so that they will be prepared, and they may even get the support of the Manchus, maybe I will also ask other Mongolian tribes for help. Let’s talk about it, what should I do?”

Everyone gathered for a private discussion.

Jia Hu spoke: "I have something to ask His Majesty, but I don't know."

Emperor Jianwu: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

"Is it a matter of discussing the use of troops today, or is it a matter of discussing whether to use troops?"

"Of course how to destroy the Chahar Department!"

"Just hit it."

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Jianwu was stunned on the spot.

Song Chengliang and Liu Fang were also stunned.

The Supreme Emperor understood, slapped the armrest and stood up, and said directly: "Boy Jia is right, just hit it."

Everyone also recalled that the war against Chahar had already been brought to the fore. It was impossible for a 10,000+ army to hide. As long as they moved, they would be detected by the Manchus and Mongols immediately. It was impossible for Chahar Abandoning the pastures on which they depended for survival, it is impossible for the Manchus and other Mongolian tribes to sit back and watch Hal being destroyed by Da Zhou, and a main force confrontation is inevitable.

Inside the Honor Hall.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan, Youshi and Qinshi are all here.

Aunt Xue, Baochai's mother and daughter also came over, and they were discussing with Jia's mother about the dinner.

Baochai held a bowl of tea and offered it to Mother Jia: "I have an idea. The weather is hot, and everyone is too lazy to eat, so don't set the number of samples. Whoever usually likes to eat can make a few. There is no need to sit at the table." , put a high table in front of each person, put it in a heart-packed box of assorted assortments, and drink it by yourself, wouldn’t it be unique.”

After a pause, "There are no outsiders, and there is no need to invite the theater troupe. It will be interesting if we eat wine and enforce the wine order at the same time."

Mother Jia put down the tea bowl, pulled her to laugh and said, "Bao girl's words are in line with my intentions, so it's settled." Pulling her to sit beside her, she smiled at Aunt Xue, "This child is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. It shouldn't be like this. Don't control her tightly in the future, she is still young, let her do whatever she likes. If there is anything, just open your mouth and don't worry. "

Aunt Xue hurriedly got up and agreed, and then said to Baochai, "Thank you, old lady."

Jia Mu took Baochai and said, "Look, I'm overthinking again." Everyone laughed.

At this time, a servant girl's voice came from outside: "Second Grandma Lian is back."

Without saying a word, Wang Xifeng came in with many maids and daughter-in-laws, first greeted Jia Mu and others, and then talked about Princess Beijing.

Mrs. Wang looked out the door and asked, "Where is Baoyu?"

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng patted herself on the forehead, "Look how stupid I was, I forgot about this." She said to Aunt Xue who was beside her, "Congratulations to Auntie, Brother Xue has returned to Beijing."

Then he smiled at Mrs. Wang: "I met Brother Xue when I came out of the Beijing Prince's Mansion. They were going back to the mansion together. On the way, I met Mr. Feng and Mr. Wei. They went to Xishi together again, saying that they were for What Liu Erye practiced."

After a pause, "I asked Zhou Rui to lead people to follow."

Madam Wang nodded.

Aunt Xue sighed at the side: "It's really incomprehensible. I didn't even go home and went out again."

Jia's mother: "Bao girl is good, our family is not as good as her."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue laughed and said, "The old lady is wrong."

Wang Xifeng also laughed and said: "The girls in our family can't be picked out of a hundred. The beauty is that each has its own advantages. For example, Miss Lin, she doesn't talk about dancing and writing, she is also good at needlework. Now I can even help my sister-in-law look after the housekeeper." After speaking, she looked at Daiyu and smiled.

Lin Daiyu turned her head to talk to Xing Xiuyan.

When Youshi saw her, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, pointed at her and said with a smile: "You are only capable now, if you are capable, you shoot in front of his face."

Wang Xifeng twitched her lips, walked up to Jiamu and sat down, "I took pictures of my ancestors."

Jia Mu laughed and said: "It's true that Feng girl is getting more and more talkative, and she is making fun of me." As she said, she told Youshi: "Go and tell his second uncle."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

All of a sudden, laughter and laughter continued in Jiamu's room.
