The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

However, Emperor Zhide believed that Lu Xingzhi would never deceive him.It seems that this Lin Yun is indeed a bit talented.

"Your Majesty, Elder Zhou Ge and Bachelor Song are waiting outside the hall." A servant came in and reported to Emperor Zhide.

"Show them in quickly."

"promise."

...

Not long after, Zhou Muzhai, the chief assistant of the cabinet who was over sixty years old, and Song Yue, the second assistant, followed the little servant into the palace.

After the two went up to meet the ceremony, Emperor Zhide asked his servant to hand over the article to Zhou Muzhai, saying: "Zhou Qing, these are some thoughts of a scholar in Yichen Academy on how the court can solve Annan's dilemma. You see if it works."

"Oh,"

Zhou Muzhai was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. How could His Majesty listen to the advice of a young scholar on such an important external decision-making and discuss it with the cabinet ministers? This was not a slap in his face.

Although he was very dissatisfied, Zhou Muzhai took the manuscript paper handed to him by the servant, and read it carefully.

Song Yue was an official in his fifties, with a square face, thick eyebrows, and elegant demeanor. He was very surprised that the emperor used a scholar's article to discuss with the cabinet ministers.

He thought to himself, judging from the behavior of the emperor, either this suggestion was very meritorious, or the emperor was very dissatisfied with the proposal put forward by the cabinet, and used this to beat them.

After Zhou Muzhai read the article, he handed it to Song Yue who was standing beside him, and then he cupped his hands towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I think this proposal is inappropriate."

Emperor Zhide asked calmly, "Why is it wrong?"

Zhou Muzhai: "Sending thousands of elite soldiers deep into a foreign country to guide other countries' armies in combat, not to mention that there is no precedent for this. Let's talk about how to coordinate the logistics of these thousands of troops. If the army is alone, if it is in danger, the country must be in danger. I can't reach it, and I can't help it~"

Hearing Zhou Muzhai's eloquent criticism of this suggestion as useless, Emperor Zhide frowned slightly. What he cared about was the strategic significance of this matter, rather than finding fault with these small details.

At this time, Song Yue had also finished reading the article. While he was amazed at the boldness of this scholar, he was also secretly thinking about the emperor's thoughts.

At this moment, Emperor Zhide asked him, "Song Qing, what do you think of this matter?"

Song Yue cupped his hands and replied, "I report to Your Majesty, I think this proposal is feasible."

Zhou Muzhai glanced at Song Yue in dissatisfaction, "Although this is the second assistant, he caters to the emperor's wishes in everything, even disregarding the overall situation of the court. He is definitely a treacherous villain."

He asked Song Yue: "Changqing (Song Yue's word), since you agree with this idea, can you find a way to solve the logistics supply problem for these thousands of people?"

Song Yue: "This article also said that the logistics supply can be provided by Siam. Since they want to invite our country to send troops, how can they be stingy with the money and food supply of these thousands of soldiers."

Zhou Muzhai: "The matter of money and food is easy to solve, but the firearms and equipment used by these thousands of soldiers need to be replenished at any time. This is not something that the small country of Siam can provide alone."

"This matter is not difficult. Let the army go out to bring some craftsmen to make firearms with local materials in Siam."

"How does this make it possible to concentrate military power and the power to make firearms in one person's hands? If this person has a different heart and wants to replace the King of Siam, wouldn't it be a serious disaster?"

"Uh,"

Song Yue didn't dare to say anymore. If this matter is not well controlled, it might happen.

At this moment, a servant came in and reported to the emperor that Prince Xuan was asking to see him outside the palace.

...

Chapter 77: Something else

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation,

After reading the policy theory written by Lin Yun, Prince Xuan immediately beamed with joy. He handed the draft paper to the servant, turned to the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, since there is such a good policy, what is there to discuss? Your Majesty can send envoys to Siam to communicate with him." Negotiation, as long as the other party is willing, it will be carried out as it is."

Emperor Zhide: "Uncle Wang, Zhou Qing has objections to this."

"Oh, I don't know what the elder's opinion is?"

Zhou Muzhai cupped his hands towards Prince Xuan and said: "My lord, the old minister thinks that sending thousands of elite soldiers abroad without logistical support or backup support is too risky and not advisable."

Prince Xuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Ge's words are wrong. This army is not sent to Annan to fight, so how can we talk about taking risks? As for the lack of logistical support, this matter is not difficult to solve, after all, there are only thousands of troops. , It’s not difficult to add, just let the navy fleet run twice more.”

Song Yue: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that can solve the problem of logistical supplementation for our army."

Emperor Zhide hurriedly said, "Come quickly, Qing."

Song Yue: "Didn't Siam always want to import firearms manufacturing technology from our Great Chu? Why not send a group of craftsmen to help them make firearms and build a firearms camp."

"This is impossible."

"This is absolutely impossible."

Prince Xuan and Zhou Muzhai rejected Song Yue's proposal at the same time. Zhou Muzhai said anxiously: "How can a country's sharp weapon be used in other people's hands. Song Yue's words are harmful to the country. Your Majesty, please be careful."

Song Yue retorted: "Mr. Zhou Ge, as far as I know, Western firearms are superior to my Dachu. Even if we don't disclose the technology, they can still buy better firearms from Westerners."

Prince Xuan: "Scholar Song's statement is true. There is a firearms battalion in Annan's army. They must have bought it from Westerners. It is not worse than the firearms battalion of my Chu army."

Zhou Muzhai: "Westerners only sell firearms, they don't sell the technology of making firearms."

Emperor Zhide coughed lightly, and said, "I'll talk about the firearms later. It's more important to discuss whether to send troops to Siam to help it resist the Annan invasion."

Prince Xuan: "I support sending troops."

Song Yue: "My minister also supports sending troops."

Seeing that both of them supported sending troops, Zhou Muzhai knew that this matter could not be stopped. He changed his words and said: "Your Majesty can send troops if he wants. The old minister suggested that the number of troops should be sent less, and the limit should be five thousand soldiers."

Emperor Zhide said happily, "Just as Qing said."

Next, Emperor Zhide exchanged views with the two cabinet ministers on who to send to Siam.This matter has nothing to do with military affairs, and Prince Xuan didn't make any further comments.

...

After the discussion was over, Emperor Zhide left Prince Xuan to discuss the matter alone.

After Zhou Muzhai and Song Yue left, Emperor Zhide asked Prince Xuan to sit down on the kang, and asked his servant to bring ginger soup to drive Prince Xuan away from the cold.

After the servants retired, Emperor Zhide asked Prince Xuan: "Uncle Emperor, if you can send troops to Siam this time, who do you think will be the best general?"

Prince Xuan thought for a while and said, "The old minister suggested sending Shenwu General Feng Kang to lead the army."

Emperor Zhide said in surprise: "There are so many good generals in the court, why did the emperor choose Feng Kang?"

Prince Xuan smiled and said: "If the old minister's guess is correct, His Majesty wants to send Prince Teng, the commander of the Beijing camp, to lead the army?"

Emperor Zhide nodded silently. After seeing Lin Yun's suggestion, his first thought was to take the opportunity to send Prince Teng, the commander of the Beijing camp, out. Elite soldiers.

Prince Xuan: "Your Majesty should not act too hastily. It is better for Wang Ziteng to stay still for the time being. Letting Feng Kang lead the army is not only to show his favor to the Supreme Emperor, but also for the sake of this army. If the army is alone, there must be a prestigious general in charge. Otherwise, it will be difficult to gather the hearts of the troops.”

Emperor Zhide agreed: "It's still the emperor's uncle who is considerate."

Prince Xuan: "Your Majesty, just now I saw that under the policy theory it was written that this suggestion was provided by Lin Ruhai's nephew. Is this true?"

Emperor Zhide: "Since what Mr. Lu said, there must be no falsehood."

Prince Xuan praised: "The old minister really didn't realize that that cunning boy had such a plan."

Emperor Zhide said with a smile: "It's not just the emperor's uncle, even I have missed it."

"Oh, Your Majesty has seen that kid?"

"I met it once, but. He doesn't know my identity."

Next, Emperor Zhide introduced the scene when he met Lin Yun in Yichen Academy to Prince Xuan.

Prince Xuan happily said: "This kid is really a cunning guy. If His Majesty hadn't seen the details, Lu Xingzhi would have been deceived by him."

Emperor Zhide: "I don't understand why he doesn't want to go to the academy to study?"

Prince Xuan happily said: "This old minister really knows a little bit. I heard from my Heng'er that the kid only wants to do business to make money, and he even persuaded my Heng'er to partner with him to open a perfume shop."

Emperor Zhide was stunned when he heard the words: "He wants Ning Heng to do business with him?"

"Exactly."

Emperor Zhide said angrily, "It's really playing the piano recklessly if you don't want to make progress in your official career, but you want to do business business."

Prince Xuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's good for him to do so."

When Emperor Zhide heard this, he immediately fell silent. He naturally understood what Prince Xuan was thinking. Since the boy from the Lin family took the girl from the Qin family, it would be the best policy for him to stay away from the center of power.

Prince Xuan said again: "If Your Majesty cherishes talents, you can let him become a Hanlin Bachelor in the future and stay with you."

Emperor Zhide thought the same thing. Hanlin officials were free and had high status but no authority. Placing Lin Yun in this position was the best of both worlds.

Then he laughed again: "Uncle Huang, I don't know if that kid has the ability to pass the Jinshi exam."

Prince Xuan also smiled and said: "With Lu Xing's love for talents, he will definitely strictly control that kid. He can't do it even if he doesn't work hard."

"Hahaha~"

Emperor Zhide laughed happily. He seemed to have seen Lin Yun lying on the table, frowning and writing scriptures, while Lu Xingzhi was holding a ruler and staring at the boy.

...

When Prince Xuan came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he happened to see Empress Zhang who was surrounded by a group of maids and nuns.

Prince Xuan was about to go forward to salute, Empress Zhang bowed first and said, "Wei Er pays respects to Uncle Wang."

Prince Xuan hurriedly returned the gift and said: "The queen must not do this, she will kill the old minister."

Empress Zhang smiled and said: "There are no foreign ministers here, Wei'er should be a family ritual."

"I dare not be an old minister."

Empress Zhang: "I heard from Your Majesty that Heng'er is about to recover. I'm really happy to congratulate you."

Prince Xuan twirled his beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Thanks to Your Majesty's great blessing, my Heng'er can be saved."

Empress Zhang: "Wei'er found a few top-quality old wild ginseng a few days ago, and tomorrow's Er will ask Jing'er to send it to Uncle Wang's mansion to give Heng'er a boost."

Prince Xuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The old minister thanked the Queen for the reward on Heng'er's behalf."

"Uncle Wang, don't be polite."
