Daiyu's words were like a wake-up call, and Baoyu seemed to have lost his soul in an instant.
He just stood there in a daze at the door.
Naturally, no one has said this.
But Baoyu can selectively filter automatically every time.
People he doesn't care about, or things that are not good for him.
It has always been possible to turn a blind eye and hear but not hear.
To put it bluntly, it is an escape from reality.
Just as Daiyu had already been engaged to Feng Yibo, he selectively ignored it.
Even if Feng Yibo often appears in front of him.
But now that Daiyu said these words, it really hurt him.
Baoyu consciously regarded Daiyu as a close person, but did not expect that Daiyu would treat him as an outsider.
After these words, Baoyu had to face reality.
There is nowhere to hide anymore.
Therefore, since he was no longer an ostrich, he could only pretend to be dead from the moment his head was pulled out.
That is what is often called "madness".
This was the case eight out of ten times in Baoyu's madness.
Fortunately, this was not the first time Daiyu had seen him like this. She knew at a glance that he was suffering from dementia again.
He understood that as long as he didn't care, he would return to his room.
Without saying a word at the moment, he directly bypassed him and entered the house.
On the contrary, the parrot was hesitant whether to take the opportunity to step forward.
It can be thought that every time Baoyu suffered from dementia, he turned a blind eye to the outside world.
Even if she stepped forward diligently at this time, it would be useless.
In the room, Miao Yu was talking about Buddhism with Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, etc. Li Wan and Xifeng were accompanying her.
Seeing Daiyu come in at this time, Miaoyu couldn't help but stop.
"Come here quickly!"
Jia Mu called Daiyu with a loving look on her face, and asked with a smile:
"I just heard that you two were outside. Why did you come in by yourself? Where is your second brother?"
They were talking in the house, and they vaguely heard the two of them arguing in the courtyard.
But no one took it seriously.
After all, the brother and sister didn't quarrel once or twice.
When Jia Mu asked, Daiyu still felt a little uncomfortable.
Because grandma really loved her, but she just made grandma's heart go crazy.
But thinking of Baoyu's career, Daiyu curled her lips slightly and said:
"Who knows what happened to him? I just said he was a foreigner. Without thinking, I just stood outside and refused to come in."
This is the performance of having a backer.
If Daiyu was helpless, she would probably have to cry and admit her mistake at this time.
Pray for the mercy of the elders.
But now Daiyu only feels that she is right, and her words are naturally tough.
Even though Baoyu was suffering from dementia, she still had the leisure to make jokes.
Mrs. Wang knew her son well, and her eyes immediately froze when she heard this.
Jin Chuan beside her understood and quickly helped her.
Only a few maids went out to check.
Jia Mu obviously knew Baoyu and was not in a hurry to go there.
Although Daiyu felt that she was right, she did not want her grandmother to blame her.
He explained: "Second brother said some nonsense again, so I had to do this."
Jia Mu only glanced at Daiyu and sighed slightly.
Didn't answer.
After a while, Baoyu was carried into the house.
His eyes were still staring straight at him, and he didn't say a word.
Miaoyu felt the subtle atmosphere in the room and said:
"Old lady, madam, I will take my sister back first, so that she will not be here and cause trouble to Second Master Bao."
Here Baoyu is crazy, Miaoyu and Daiyu return to Lin Mansion.
On the other side, Feng Yibo was still at the court meeting, listening intently to the palace officials reading out the issues.
Now he is a fifth-grade doctor and a member of the Ministry.
He is no longer the novice who just went to court.
In such a regular court meeting, you will not feel that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are incomprehensible.
Not to mention falling asleep leaning against a pillar.
but.
Most of the content of the court meeting still had nothing to do with him.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was a fifth-rank official in the imperial court.
If it is released to the outside world, it will also be a high-ranking official.
But among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was only a fifth-grade doctor.
Although it belongs to the Ministry of Rites, the head of the six departments, it is in charge of foreign affairs.
Or overseas where no one cares.
Therefore, he is not conspicuous among civil and military officials.
At this moment, the palace official read out a good news, which made Feng Yibo prick up his ears.
"The leader of the Xitara tribe, Xitara Atuhan, who led his troops in a sneak attack in Liaodong, was captured alive."
Two years ago, the prince made a tour.
Part of the reason is this Hitara tribe.
Xitara Atuhan made a surprise attack on Liaodong and killed the guard commander Peng Zhu.
They looted Jinxian in Liaodong.
Heidong, the commander of the Liaoning Capital Division, was ordered to lead the army to suppress the enemy, but he was ambushed by Atuhan and captured alive.
Later, Atuhan invaded Liaoyang, plundered Gushan, and looted Fushun, Tangzhan and other places.
There were looting and massacres along the way, killing dozens of Liao generals and thousands of officers and soldiers.
It gradually grew in size in Liaodong, and made an alliance with Hada Beile in Fushun two years ago.
We must fight against Wei together.
Unexpectedly, it took just two years.
It was solved by Wang Ziteng.
Still captured alive.
The palace man continued to read out the victory report, and the following is the general battle situation.
"...His son Xitara Atai, his general Jue Chang'an and his son Takshi saw that Xitara Atuhan was captured and wanted to pretend to surrender to rescue them. Fortunately, our army discovered them in time and annihilated them together. There are more than a thousand people in his department..."
Last winter, Hitara Atuhan gathered the Tatar Tumote and Taining tribes to launch a massive attack on Shenyang, an important town in Liaodong.
Prince Teng personally supervised the army's campaign and led a large army to besiege the Xitala tribe, beheading more than a thousand people.
Next, Wang Ziteng requested an order to deal with the bandit leader.
"The leader of the thieves, Xitala Atuhan, caused harm to Liaodong and massacred and plundered several places. The impact was extremely bad."
"Therefore, I am specially escorted to the capital, and I ask the Holy One to clarify the canonical punishment and frighten Xiao Xiaoxiao in the border areas."
Some people suggested that it would be too late for these thieves to join forces.
After a short discussion with the cabinet, Emperor Jingshun agreed to this favorable and cost-effective suggestion.
Next, there is discussion between the Ministry of War and the cabinet.
There is no need to mention how to discuss the merits of the prince and the local soldiers in the border areas.
Waiting for the court, Feng Yibo and Li Shouzhong arrived at home.
We talked about it in the study room.
"This Wang Zongzhi is truly worthy of being the queen of Du Taiwei and Prince, and he is truly a talented person in the country!"
Every time Li Shouzhong heard such good news, he would praise it in private.
"Ever since he went to Jiubian for inspection, good news has been delivered frequently without interruption, which shows his dedication!"
Prince Teng's voice in the court did not disappear as he left the capital.
On the contrary, from time to time, there will be good results for asking for merit.
These good news are often lengthy.
It’s dazzling to see.
It doesn't look like a military commander's style at all, but more like a civil servant evaluation.
But the civil and military forces in North Korea like this kind of fancy reporting of merit.
If you look at someone who really knows the business, you can hear some differences.
The war reports reported by Wang Ziteng have three characteristics:
a large amount.
Small scale.
What’s more, it always treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Except for the beheading of more than a thousand people this time, it was indeed a great victory in the border area.
But the rest of the time, it's mostly petty fights.
But it is very suitable for a battle where you want to take credit and reward.
For the military commander, this is simply taking the word trick to the extreme.
All the knowledgeable nobles in the court were fascinated by this.
I imagined myself reporting like this in the future.
In addition to Wu Xun, even civil servants like Li Shouzhong were fooled.
I just feel that Wang Ziteng is a real general with good news frequently reported in the border areas.
Feng Yibo used a small number to defeat a large number and annihilated tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.
Who didn't praise "Feng Jiaxuan" in the civil and military affairs of the DPRK and China?
But it has only been a year, and everyone has almost forgotten about it.
And the good news from Wang Ziteng is comparable to the monthly report.
Even sometimes a weekly newspaper.
No one can ignore such a frequency.
It has even become a habit.
Over time, all civil and military officials in the dynasty will feel this.
With Prince Teng here, there will be no worries in the borderlands!
You can tell one thing or two when you see the happy look on Li Shouzhong's face.
Before. Feng Yibo saw some problems.
But he has never been to the border areas, so many things cannot be confirmed.
And this time the Hitara tribe incident was indeed a great victory.
Feng Yibo also admired him from the bottom of his heart and would not dampen his mentor's enthusiasm.
Smile and say nothing.
Even his final stubbornness.
In addition to the master and apprentice talking about this matter, many people are also upset about it.
In the Linjing Hall, Prince Zhongshun was looking at Emperor Jingshun in disbelief.
"Brother Imperial, you still want to continue using this prince?"
He is in charge of the Dragon Scale Guard.
Supervise hundreds of officials at the top and observe the people's sentiments at the bottom.
Very little movement escapes him.
Wang Ziteng, who was at the border, was the focus of their attention.
The previous investigation results have been presented to Emperor Jingshun several times.
But at today's court meeting, Emperor Jingshun recognized Wang Ziteng's contribution.
He also followed Wang Ziteng's request.
Rewards were given to the border generals who participated in this battle.
Prince Teng asked for an order to deal with the leader of the Hitara tribe, as well as the necessary support.
Emperor Jingshun and the cabinet also unanimously approved it.
This really made Prince Zhongshun a little unbearable.
But he could not object during the court meeting and could only ask Emperor Jingshun privately.
"Why not use it?"
Emperor Jingshun was still reviewing the memorial, so he replied casually.
Obviously, his energy is not here.
He frowned and looked at the memorial in his hand, like a judge.
He made a cross with his red pen.
"He is messing around in the border area, and it seems like he is getting good results, but in fact he is creating trouble for bandits!"
Prince Zhongshun was a little excited about Emperor Jingshun's reaction.
He really couldn't understand that he had already given the news to the emperor's brother.
Why turn a blind eye?
"He has brought all the tricks of party struggle between North Korea and China to the border areas!"
Emperor Jingshun put the memorial in his hand on the left, which was a pile that was sent back to the cabinet for renegotiation.
Then he picked up the next book and said:
"The means are not important, the stability of the border areas is important."
As he spoke, he turned the memorial to the back.
There is no way, the previous ones are all about praising the emperor’s wisdom, etc.
Turn to the position, and soon the ink pen circle will be placed on the left side.
"But he formed factions over there, fought with others, and kept stirring up disputes."
After hearing what Emperor Jingshun said, Prince Zhongshun consciously found a breakthrough point and said:
"How does this count as stability?"
Emperor Jingshun naturally knew about Prince Zhongshun's temperament.
It was because he thought he was a bit extreme that he was suitable to take charge of the Dragon Scale Guard on his behalf.
If he thinks there is something wrong, he can't get over it no matter what.
It must be clarified.
Emperor Jingshun picked up another memorial.
This time I didn’t rush to review, but pondered for a moment and said:
"Stability does not have to be static. Many times, balance is a kind of stability."
He looked at Prince Zhongshun, his younger brother from the same mother.
He is also the current sole heir to the throne.
Emperor Jingshun felt that he could explain this to him appropriately.
To avoid any eventuality...
"He can win over one faction and fight against another. As long as no one gets bigger, it's a balance."
After hearing what Emperor Jingshun said, Prince Zhongshun still looked puzzled.
"The power he cultivated has become bigger!"
He shook the file in his hand and frowned:
"This time in Liaodong, although the Xitala tribe was destroyed, a Jueluo tribe was also established."
When Emperor Jingshun heard this, he knew that he was still trying to get into trouble.
"well!"
After sighing softly, he explained:
"I dragged someone who was close to me, Da Wei, and hit someone who was far away from me, Da Wei. Do you think this is a bad thing?"
Prince Zhongshun heard this but was still dissatisfied. He raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Jingshun and said:
"If this is not nothing, then why does he do the same in Mongolia?"
Having said this, Prince Zhongshun handed over the file with both hands.
"This is the file I showed you last time, but it seems that the emperor didn't take it seriously."
Emperor Jingshun glanced at it and knew which news it was.
"But what I want to say is, I'm afraid it won't be long before things start happening again! Brother Huang!"
Seeing Prince Zhongshun's anxious expression, Emperor Jingshun smiled.
He shook his head and asked with a smile: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"My suggestion is to quickly replace him with a capable person. It's not too late now."
Having said this, Prince Zhongshun didn’t know which string he was picking on and blurted out:
"If he becomes popular, it will be difficult to change him."
He talked for a long time, and Jingshun Emperor regarded it as teaching the emperor's heirs.
But in the end, these unintentional words touched the heart of Emperor Jingshun.
He is not afraid of causing trouble again, after all, Da Wei has a profound background.
Even if it is corrupted for a while, it cannot be compared to those foreign races in the North.
He is not afraid of what Prince Teng will do when he is on the sidelines.
These things are much better when used outside than when used in court.
However, he was afraid of separatist rule.
This was one of the things that worried him the most.
Prince Zhongshun obviously didn't mean this, but it made Emperor Jingshun think about this.
Suddenly I lost the mood to review the memorial.
He put down the memorial in his hand, and the smile on his face faded.
He looked at Prince Zhongshun and sighed.
"You only see Wang Ziteng messing around now, but you forget how abandoned the borderland was two years ago before he patrolled the border?"
Wang Ziteng has received frequent good news in the past two years.
Before that, Borderlands often failed.
Although he was not easily detained, it still frightened the officials.
"Ah...that's not the same thing, is it?"
Prince Zhongshun was stunned when he heard this.
"Why not? Wasn't the situation at that time the result of your report?"
Emperor Jingshun looked at his younger brother angrily and said:
"I still remember it vividly, why did you forget it?"
"I……"
Prince Zhongshun suddenly became short of breath.
Naturally, he reported this matter.
At that time, the border areas were eroded and there were occasional frictions.
It turned out that foreigners took advantage.
How could he endure this?
So he reported to Emperor Jingshun every three days.
Of course, it was definitely not his idea to send Wang Ziteng there.
It was the result of many considerations by Emperor Jingshun.
"Although Wang Ziteng's method is not the best, it is the fastest and the most stable."
Since he was not in the mood to review the memorials, Emperor Jingshun simply gave his younger brother lessons.
"In doing so, he can maintain maximum stability with minimum consumption."
At this point, Emperor Jingshun came to the essence.
"After achieving his goal, he may use this balance to do whatever he wants and make a fortune."
Having said this, Emperor Jingshun smiled slightly.
"What will happen when we let out some wind?"
Seeing Prince Zhongshun dumbfounded, Emperor Jingshun began to speculate on the future and kept saying:
"By then, the civil and military forces of the entire court will not support him as they do now."
"There must be more people who want to impeach him than those who support him now."
I thought this calculation was enough.
But this was not the end yet. Emperor Jingshun continued with a smile:
"When he's gone, I'll replace him."
"Send another capable person who can hold the line and start patrolling the nine sides."
All this is like a perfect closed loop,
Emperor Jingshun couldn't help but show a satisfied and considerately friendly smile, and asked again:
"how do you feel?"
This cycle goes back and forth, and it seems that "everything is under control".
It doesn't make people feel friendly.
If you are an ordinary person, you may be afraid.
"Ah...Brother Emperor..."
Prince Zhongshun's voice trembled when he heard this.
"Then when will we make arrangements?"
The words obviously didn't sound like fear.
Instead, there is a hint of excitement!
As if he felt it was a little too hasty, Prince Zhongshun hesitated again and said:
"How about I just place more people in the Wang family first?"
