Red Mansion: Reborn Zombie, I Join the Army to Practice

Chapter 55 Eternal peace?Then exterminate their country and species! (For collection, for follow-up reading!)
On the second day, Jia Jia Sanchun, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and Qin Keqing all came to the Zhenbeihou Mansion.

But they were more here to help. The ones who really came to help were Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.

Wang Xifeng is the person in charge of the Jia family. On weekdays, she handles all the banquets held by the Jia family, so she can be regarded as experienced.

As for Li Wan, although she lived in seclusion in the back house for many years, her father was the former Imperial College Jijiu.

It can be regarded as a wealthy family, so I still have some experience in this kind of thing.

Unlike the girls from the Jia family, Mrs. Wang would not even take them with her to various banquets, 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, is actually here to make up the numbers, after all, she is so young and can't help much.

As for Lin Hao, he is not here today, because Lin Hao went to the palace early in the morning, just because Lin Hao's vacation is over.

Emperor Jingwen counted the time well, and when Lin Hao moved into the Hou's Mansion, his vacation had just ended.

It has only been an hour since the court meeting started, and it will take a while for Lin Hao to figure it out.

"Sister-in-law Zhu, sister-in-law Lian, you are the only ones who understand a little among us, how should this list be made?"

Lin Daiyu said distressedly that she didn't know any of the officials in Shenjing City, so she could only ask two of them.

Li Wan looked at Wang Xifeng. She knew some things before, but after Jia Zhu passed away, she became a transparent person in Jia's house, so she didn't know as much as Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng thought for a while and said.

"First of all, all the noble families must be invited, such as the four princes and eight princes, etc."

"The second is the major officials. It depends on what Lord Hou thinks about the housewarming banquet. What requirements do you have for the grade of officials?"

Wang Xifeng asked like this.

Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu said indifferently.

"Brother Hao left everything to me, so we can do whatever the two sisters-in-law think."

Listening to Lin Daiyu's words, all the girls looked at her enviously. This is the housewarming banquet of the Hou Mansion, and it is actually considered a big event.

But it is such a big matter that Lin Hao has all been handed over to Lin Daiyu. It is really enviable to have such a younger brother.

In the end, after deliberation, the list was set above the fifth-rank officials. After all, the fifth-rank officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were eligible to attend the Great Court Meeting.

Even if the palace holds a banquet, the minimum requirement is a fifth-rank official or above in Beijing.

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 terms of the Tatar peace talks.

Lin Hao caused too much damage to Tatar in that battle, and Tatar couldn't bear it anymore, so he jumped out to negotiate peace with Da Zhou.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were arguing endlessly over the terms of the peace talks, and some people even said that the two parties were married, and the princess was married in exchange for long-term security in the frontier.

When Lin Hao heard these words, he couldn't help laughing.

His voice was very conspicuous, and the whole court fell silent for a while, and everyone looked at Lin Hao curiously.

"Ahem, what's the best opinion of Marquis Zhenbei?"

Emperor Jingwen coughed and said, his words didn't sound like he was facing a courtier, but the officials were obviously used to such scenes.

It was Lin Hao's first morning court, and he was in the state of paddling the whole time, but what these guys said was too annoying, so Lin Hao couldn't hold back after all.

"Your Majesty, I just can't figure it out a little bit. It is obvious that I have won a complete victory in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Tatars will not be able to stand up for at least ten years."

"But why does this Marquis hear all the humility from the mouths of the ministers?"

Hearing Lin Hao's words, the faces of all the officials were gloomy for an instant. Although they were afraid of Lin Hao, they thought that they were expressing their opinions in this court, and Lin Hao should be fine if they expressed their opinions.

So I saw an old minister stand up and say.

"Hou Ye's fallacies, the veterans don't agree with them. My Great Zhou is a kingdom of heaven, so naturally we must have the bearing of belonging to a kingdom of heaven."

"Since the Tatars have taken the initiative to seek peace, why don't we take this opportunity to conclude a permanent non-aggression treaty, so that after thousands of years, our borders will still enjoy peace forever."

Listening to this veteran's words, there are actually many officials who agree.

Lin Hao felt helpless, and couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with all the ancient officials?
They are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, so why don't they care about the suffering of the people's livelihood?
"Enjoy peace forever? It's easy. I just need to lead the army to subjugate the Tatars. Wouldn't that mean that the frontier will be peaceful forever?"

Lin Hao's words instantly silenced the entire court, and none of the officials who had been discussing before dared to speak.

Sure enough, it was still the Marquis of Zhenbei, his murderous intent was too heavy.

Lin Hao didn't like this kind of method of giving a woman without deciding what to do. Of course, from their standpoint, marriage is indeed the best way.

But Lin Hao had a different opinion. Lin Hao glanced at the audience, and then said in a cold voice.

"I won't allow you to tarnish the great victory I won through bloody battles. Isn't it the Tatars? After the year, I will personally lead an army to destroy them completely, and turn the Tatars into slaves of my Great Zhou. "

"One by one, they have to send the princess to sue for peace after winning the battle. It's really embarrassing."

Listening to Lin Hao's words, all the officials bowed their heads in shame. In fact, it was a group of corrupt old officials who advocated this. What this group of people care about is their reputation.

As long as the marriage and peace talks between the two countries are facilitated, the reputation they spread 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 Tatar is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, but they don't care at all, because in their minds, so what if the Great Zhou died?
After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty was dead, but the new dynasty must also need civil servants to rule the country, especially their great Confucianism and a scholarly family that has been passed down for many years.

Here you can refer to the descendants of Confucius and Sage. No matter what dynasty or nation has won the world, they must be sacrificed.

Great Zhou naturally had many similar families and so-called Great Confucianists, which is why they kept their mouths open and silent about the way of saints, and then advocated that war is worse than peace, killing is worse than education, and so on.

Emperor Jing Wen was secretly pleased, what he wanted was Lin Hao's support, and he was also very upset before, obviously they had won the battle in Da Zhou, why did they send the princess to get married?
The most important thing is that these old guys have bad intentions, and they actually said that they should give away their own princess, who is the daughter of Emperor Jingwen, to show their sincerity.

How could Emperor Jingwen not be angry?If it weren't for worrying about the turmoil in the court, he would have chopped off all these old guys one by one.

After all, how old is your own princess?Thanks to these old guys who figured it out.

Lin Hao's words certainly shocked many people, but in the end an old minister stood up and bowed to Lin Hao.

"Lord Marquis, we naturally believe in your strength, but recently news came from the frontier that the Tatars want to form an alliance with other grassland tribes."

Hearing the old minister's words, the court was in an uproar, and even Emperor Jing Wen's expression changed drastically.

No wonder he said why these old guys proposed a marriage today. It turned out that they had received the news a long time ago. Did the major tribes of the grassland form an alliance?This is indeed a great threat!
