Lin Bai was very unhappy. Not long after he came back, the Iron Lady had just given birth, and little Susu hadn't had enough fun yet!
As a result, he gave up the distance again.
Forget it in the future, it only takes two hours on a plane ticket.
But in this era, it only takes a few months, and it’s not certain whether we can make it back to celebrate the New Year.
But he still hasn’t made a decision!
You can't disobey the emperor's order. The key is that Lao Zhu won't force you this time, but will induce you and use two beauties to seduce you.
In addition, there is also the reputation of the father-in-law.
Regardless of the reasons behind it, among the people, Lao Yan is the leader of the peace faction, and this pot belongs to him. He wants to clean up the matter, resolve the matter, cancel the new year products, and then hype it up, and then everything will be fine.
Otherwise, this must be a huge stain.
Lin Bai clearly saw a trace of desire in his father-in-law's eyes.
There is no way, the father-in-law stood up because he is in his position and must take responsibility, but if the stain can be washed away, who wouldn't be happy.
When an official reaches this position, they all want to have a good reputation behind them.
In addition, this is a major event for Li Chao to get out of the current predicament. No matter from any aspect, the talented man can't find a reason to refuse.
Of course, he couldn't refuse.
have to!
Since he was still struggling with this, for the sake of the two beauties, the talented man had no choice but to bite the bullet.
But I need to make it clear to the two beauties that they must serve their husbands together when they come back, otherwise they will suffer a big loss.
Bah bah bah! !
Let’s get down to business first.
Clearing away his distracting thoughts, Lin Bai immediately asked, "Father-in-law, what's the situation with the Southwest Chieftain?"
He really doesn't know much about the situation in various areas outside North Korea.
Firstly, it was mainly because the time he entered the court was too short. Secondly, the talented man only wanted to make a living and fish when he had time, so how could he take the initiative to understand this.
Yan Zhenlin said: "The situation in the southwest is more complicated, where..."
The so-called chieftains are actually some large clans and ethnic minorities in the southwest. They are dependent on the Li Dynasty, but they are relatively independent. They manage their own military and political affairs, and the court hardly interferes.
It is also difficult to interfere, as it will cause them to resist, which is not conducive to the stability of the southwest.
Therefore, the imperial court established a system of chieftains, allowing them to manage themselves. Each chieftain was appointed by the imperial court. Of course, most of them were selected by themselves and then appointed by the imperial court.
Then some taxes and tributes were levied symbolically, and they were regarded as people leaving the dynasty.
It is said to be tax revenue, but in fact what can be collected is very limited, only some small chieftains, and the area that the court can cover is completely useless to those powerful chieftains.
Not only can they not collect taxes, they will also find new ways to ask for money from them.
In short, the situation is very complicated.
These chieftains were nominally submissive, but the court had very little control over them. Instead, there were riots from time to time, which was the most unstable factor in the Southwest.
Every year, the court invests countless energy and financial resources into this, but it gets no output, receives no taxes, and repays money every year. It can be said to be a bottomless pit.
If the problems in this place are not resolved, there will never be peace in the Southwest.
He has always been suppressed by Dali.
This is a time bomb that is always in danger of exploding.
Good guy!
After roughly understanding the situation, Lin Bai called out to him, "Good guy, it has been troublesome to deal with a place like this since ancient times. It will not work if you are too strong, and you will not work if you are too gentle."
It's simply a hot potato.
Thinking about it, you know that if it were easy to solve it, it would have been done long ago, how could it be delayed until now?
Lao Zhu is really not a thing. He actually asked me to integrate such a place. It's incredible. He really thinks highly of me!
I am just a scholar, how can I be so virtuous?
Yan Zhenlin continued: "Zhao Qianjun's army is equipped with Zhuge Liannu. Your Majesty has made a great determination to completely integrate the southwestern chieftains."
"The north is stable, the Night King is in charge in the south of the Yangtze River, and if the southwestern chieftains can be integrated, then your majesty will not mind a battle with Dali to wash away the shame and eradicate the old goods."
"With Zhuge Liannu assisting in the battle, Your Majesty has great confidence this time."
What a great plan!
Lin Bai couldn't help but want to give Lao Zhu a thumbs up.
But the question is, why do you let yourself go for such an important thing? What is Lao Zhu thinking? Have such high expectations for yourself?
Yan Ruxue was no longer calm. When she heard that there was going to be a war, she was still calm. She quickly asked: "Dad, since Your Majesty is so determined, why not let the Night King go? The Night King has a very high prestige in the army, wouldn't it be safer if he goes? ?”
"Even if he is not the Night King, General Wu can do it! Why let Qingfeng..."
Yan Zhenlin said: "The aftermath of Jiangnan is still lingering. No one knows how many people are still hidden under King Ning's operation for so many years. Once the Night King leaves and war breaks out in the southwest, Zhu Kang is likely to take action. This is one of them."
"Secondly, the Night King is obsessed with finding a child, and His Majesty probably won't be able to open his mouth."
"As for General Wu, although the north has been temporarily pacified, Hulu harassment has never stopped, so we must be on guard. Moreover, once the Red Eagle Cavalry really goes to the southwest, everyone knows what will happen."
"His Majesty's intention is to use the investigation of Tianzhu Hemp as an excuse to integrate the Southwest Chieftains without making any noise."
Yan Ruxue nodded subconsciously.
In this case, it is indeed inappropriate to send the Night King and General Wu there, but...
"Qingfeng has never been on the battlefield."
Zhenzhen Lin shook his head and said: "With Zhao Qianjun here, it doesn't matter whether Qingfeng has been on the battlefield or not."
He paused, glanced at Lin Bai, and then said: "Besides, that's not what Zhao Qianjun said. His Majesty had discussed this matter with his father when Princess Tianwu arrived in Beijing."
"At that time, Zhao Qianjun strongly recommended Qingfeng, saying that the mission was ambushed by barbarians on the road, and it was Qingfeng who led the soldiers to resolve the crisis. He also said that Qingfeng was a peerless general, far superior to him."
"I thought it was still early, at least after the new year, so I didn't mention it to you."
mmp!
It turned out to be Zhao Qianjun, a bastard and a peerless general?
Damn it, can you be any more outrageous?
The great talent wanted to cry without tears. It was the first time he was praised to the point of wanting to hit someone. What a bullshit general! I just knew some weapons and formations for dealing with cavalry from watching TV.
The result was good, Zhao Qianjun actually took it seriously, this idiot!
When Yan Ruxue heard this, she glanced at her husband a little arrogantly.
In fact, there have been leaks about the relevant situation that day, but the leaks are still leaks, and outsiders don't know what happened.
And no one knew if someone was deliberately trying to flatter the talented man. After all, he was the head of the mission, the consort of the seventh princess, and the prime minister's uncle.
With so many identities, who dares to neglect them?
Of course, because no one believed that a scholar could fight, this incident did not cause much repercussions at the time.
But as Zhao Qianjun was a party involved, he was also the general guarding the mission, so his words naturally had different meanings, and it is conceivable that he highly praised them.
Lao Zhu probably really believed him.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, because the general who will lead the army to the southwest is Zhao Qianjun, as long as he obeys the talented man, that's all.
