Red House Shoufu

Chapter 255

The negotiations between the four countries have reached a stalemate before the official start. Although many people in the DPRK and China feel that it is a good idea to temporarily abandon part of their interests in exchange for time to quell the domestic rebellion.

However, Qian Qianli, the Minister of Rites who presided over the negotiations, gritted his teeth and refused to let go. The palace and the cabinet did not speak, and the old man had no choice but to take money from everyone.

The envoys of Oara clamored to go to the country and make Da Chu pay a painful price, but what followed was that the Governor's Office of the Five Armies ordered the twelve guards of the Beijing camp to train troops, and specially invited all the envoys in Beijing to observe.

Although the large-scale military training has just begun, it shocked the envoys of Wala.Didn't it mean that after a hundred years in the Southern Dynasties, horses would be released from the Nanshan Mountains, and swords and soldiers would be put into storage?But this flag is so densely packed with blackness, it's scary no matter how you look at it.

The Oala envoy who returned to the Sifang Pavilion that day immediately sent a messenger to rush to Oara.The frontier troops on the Nine Sides alone are enough to cause headaches for the warriors on the prairie. If the elite support from the capital is here, the [-] troops negotiated before will definitely not be enough for the southerners.

The best way is to unite with the surrounding tribes and launch a global attack on Chu.Doesn't the Raksha Kingdom want the pastures under the Tianshan Mountains?give him!As long as the Central Plains can be ruled again, ten years later, the glory of the Golden Family will once again shine on the entire land!

On the east side of the imperial city, Wei Qinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Qian Qianli, the Minister of Rites, were sitting in the value room with a hearty smile.

A temporarily organized martial arts performance frightened the arrogant Oirat envoy into silence. This deal is really worth it.

"Elder Ge, in this way, at least Guo Chaoyue has been given more time to deal with the Hexi matter."

Qian Qianli put the ensemble sent by Embroidery Guards back on the table, feeling very happy.I have been disgusted by the Wala people for a long time these days, and finally let out a bad breath.

Wei Qinghe also laughed with Qian Qianli, but he still warned: "Lin Shu's idea is only a temporary measure. If you want to completely solve the prestige of the nine sides, you still have to find a way to take down the Tatar side as soon as possible." The old man has already discussed with His Majesty, as long as the Tatar side is willing to pay tribute, canonization, mutual market, and grain and grass support will not be a problem."

Qian Qianli nodded, and it was within his expectation that the emperor would do so.The canonization of the imperial court is nothing more than an imperial decree, and the exchange market can also be placed in the two towns of Xuanda to reassure the Tatars.

As for the food to support the Tatars for the winter, it was just a waste of money.As long as the country can survive this period smoothly, there will be plenty of time in the future to settle accounts with these wolves.

However, Lin Shu's progress was not very good. The two deputy envoys of the Tatars seemed to have something to hide, and they did not come up with any useful information.Moreover, Tuotuo Chahan also seems to have lost the nature of negotiation, pulling the officials of the Sifangguan to spread money everywhere in the capital every day.

The old men in their sixties and seventies actually visited the most famous brothel in the capital, and even went to the mausoleum of Jia Daishan, the old enemy of the Tatars, to pay their respects.

Rao Qian Qianli was rich in experience, and was confused by Tuotuo Chahan's actions, so he asked Wei Qinghe for advice: "Mr. Ge, what do you think Tuotuo Chahan is trying to do?"

Wei Qinghe was still sipping tea slowly, comforting the impatient Qian Qianli: "Brother Qian, are you in a hurry? He is not in a hurry, so what are we in a hurry? Don't forget the disputes between the Tatars, don't forget The cold winter is coming. Every day, how many people will die on the grassland."

"But what if Wala and Tatar really joined forces to go south?"

Qian Qianli, who was concerned but chaotic, asked: "Mr. Ge, the situation in the Nine Sides has not been very good these years. After Xian Rongguo left, Yansui has not had a suitable coach for a long time. Now the four towns of Hexi have to guard against Xining again. Directional threats..."

"Brother Qian, don't worry, brother Qian, don't worry!"

Wei Qinghe handed a cup of tea to Qian Qianli, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the [-] cavalry in Liaodong? They didn't transfer back to the capital, but went directly to Yansui Town along the Great Wall. With these [-] cavalry, as long as It’s not that the Oala Tatars are all down, and it’s not a problem to support it for a period of time.”

Qian Qianli looked at Wei Qinghe in disbelief. These [-] cavalry were strong soldiers trained by the Dongping Palace for more than ten years.

The Supreme Emperor recalled the King of Dongping County to the capital with an imperial edict, and put him under house arrest in the mansion of the King of Dongping County in a disguised form. Although there was no decree to seize the title, Qian Xingde, the former son of the Prince of Dongping County, was beheaded by Qiu Hou a few days ago, and he has not established a son yet. .

As for the forced rotation of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong, according to Qian Qianli's understanding, it is a blessing not to cause trouble. How could it be possible to send troops to fight against the ban?
Wei Qinghe gave Qian Qianli a cheerful voice and said, "How did the king of Dongping rely on his title? At the beginning, he didn't rely on the three hundred guards assigned to him by the sage. Most of these people stayed in the Liaodong Army after he took the title. Nai, so many years have passed, why should I be promoted..."

After saying this, the old man blinked mischievously.It was only then that Qian Qianli suddenly realized that the Taishanghuang is very calculating, he really is very calculating!
……

The cold winter has come, and the servants and maids of the Lin Mansion have already put on thick winter clothes.

Lin Shu still took good care of his own people. Whether it was his hometown in Suzhou or the mansion in the capital, he prepared enough thick clothes for each head.

As for the supply of charcoal fire, Daiyu, the head of the family, had already bought a large amount of coal from Xishan in early autumn, and according to Lin Shu's instructions after coming to Beijing last year, stoves with chimneys were installed in all rooms, large and small.

"Sister Feng said that Eldest Sister's [-]-day banquet will be held on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month because of various things. Brother, what do you think we should give?"

The temperature brought by the stove made the whole study room warm. Daiyu flipped through the stack of posts in her hand, and sometimes wrote something down on the white paper next to her.

Lin Shu, who was lying on the soft bed and dozed off, responded casually: "It's fine for my sister to decide..."

Daiyu heard the lazy echo, looked up, and said with a smile: "If brother is tired, go and rest, and take advantage of the rest to recharge your batteries."

Lin Shu sat up and stretched his waist.Walking to Daiyu's side and taking a look: "Why are there so many posts?"

"As the new year approaches, there are seven or eight wedding invitations alone. From the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month to the end of the first lunar month, the schedule is full of good days."

Daiyu took out two of them and handed them to Lin Shu: "These two are my elder brother's post in the same year, one is for the banquet of burning tails, and the other is for the plum appreciation poetry meeting a year ago."

If it wasn't for Daiyu's reminder, Lin Shu would have almost forgotten that Chinese New Year is coming soon.Many people will choose to get married in the twelfth lunar month of winter, so that they can confine themselves in the cool season of autumn and winter in the coming year.The old days of the Lin family were unknown, the brother and sister had kept filial piety for Lin Ruhai before, and they were far away in the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally they were too polite to be seen.

Now Lin Shu is a fourth-rank civil servant, and also a figure in the emperor's heart. He is naturally a popular person to be invited to carry people in a sedan chair.

Daiyu tidied up the posts in her hand, picked up the list of records and said to Lin Shu: "Among these few posts, the most recent ones are from Brother Lian's side, and there is also Qian Shangshu's family. One fifteen and one sixteen. But The post from the Qian family was sent by Mrs. Qian, saying that the plum garden is blooming and invited me to enjoy the plum blossoms."
