The eastern capital is prosperous, as in the past.

When Qiu Yan arrived in the Eastern Capital this time, the courtesy he received was completely different from before, the officials from the left behind, and the princes from King Yan to the king, all went out of the city to greet each other.

The people talked outside the city for a while, and when they entered the city, they went straight into the palace and talked with the guard.

It stands to reason that this eastern capital is to stay in the capital, accompany the capital, and have a set of official positions, many of which are high and powerful, but most of them have no real power and cannot be in charge of civil affairs, so the power is actually in the hands of the government Yin, this position is held by the civil minister, and he is in charge of government affairs, but later there are big wars on the eastern front and the northern front, and the transfer of troops and horses back and forth involves military power, and there is a logistics supply, which needs to be coordinated from time to time.

The name of staying behind, taking the meaning of "staying in custody and garrisoning", can be involved in military and political affairs, and has great powers, but it can be regarded as a temporary setting, but Darui and previous dynasties, there are many examples of temporary positions becoming a system, such as the state pastor of Dayan, the governor of Daqi, and even the observer of this dynasty, are all examples.

There is also a meaning of flexibility in this, because it involves the ancestral system, it is difficult to change, and it is inevitable that interests will be involved, and the use of one set of teams to directly replace and cover another set of teams is a more moderate approach, but in this way, it is easy to make the official position bloated, and it is also criticized by others.

Now, this left-behind post has risen because of the war, and now that the four sides are calm, it seems that at least He Qinghai is Yan, but the political hall and the court seem to have forgotten this temporarily added position, so the left-behind king has stayed.

"Wang Liushou, you lead people to greet you today, and the official keeps it in mind, but it is just a top priority, or an important government matter, so I won't greet you, and go straight to the topic, the people of Zhizhou that day. But they're all here already?"

When they arrived at the back hall of the official mansion, the rest of them all went, leaving only a few powerful officials in the eastern capital, and Qiu Yan was not verbose, so he asked directly.

Left-behind Wang Xian knows Qiu Yan's style very well, when he was in the capital, he had the opportunity to work with Qiu Yan, "Back to Dingguohou, the people of Tianzhizhou, they have arrived yesterday." Now he lives in a caravanserais. ”

Qiu Yan said: "Very good, then arrange it, I will meet with their people today and talk about the matter." ”

"See you today, wouldn't it be too anxious?" Wang Xian was very surprised when he heard this, Qiu Yan, a member of the imperial court, who is now even really at the helm of the court, has come to the Eastern Capital, and he will go to see the people of Tianzhizhou non-stop. No matter how you look at it, it is too anxious and not calm enough, so it is easy for people to feel that the momentum is insufficient.

But Qiu Yan didn't seem to think of this. just asked Wang Xian to arrange it, but in the end, the result was that those people from Tianzhizhou were unwilling to meet immediately, saying that they were not ready. Let Qiu Yan wait a few more days.

As soon as this news came out, the government was up and down, starting with the king. Everyone was angry.

Wang Xian couldn't help but say to Qiu Yan: "That day, Zhizhou was worthy of being an evil demon outside the sky, and he didn't know how to count the courtesies, and you came all the way to Dingguohou, which is a sign of respect for them, but they kicked their noses in the face, and it was arrogant and rude to take it like this!"

As a result, Qiu Yan laughed: "People who are really confident will not build their majesty on an ethereal shelf, now these days Zhizhou's table xiàn, just the table xiàn out of the color of the inside, Qiu said before that he wanted to see them, just to see their reactions, now it seems that they want to take the shelf first, test me, and then take advantage of the situation, if they are really powerful, why take advantage of the situation?" Moreover, they are even about to start the peace talks, and they have the right grasp of the general direction, but they are careful about the details, which is not a big deal, and the person who presided over the peace talks this time does not seem to be qualified enough. ”

"What do you mean ......?" Wang Xian's heart moved.

"Let them send someone over again, bluffers, when the real peace talks, are likely to think of something unrealistic, not to mention, such people are likely to be unaware of the crisis of the situation and delay the warplane. ”

Saying this, Qiu Yan had already walked out of the hall.

"You don't need to tell me about these people, and when the new person in charge comes, you will inform me again. Qiu Yan said, and walked away without looking back.

Looking at the distant back, Wang Xian and the others looked at each other, and finally Nafu Cheng couldn't help but say: "What is the Marquis of Dingguo, what kind of wind and waves have you not seen? ”

However, some officials became worried, and said: "Having said that, if you directly inform them of the decision of the Marquis of Dingguo, this thing will cause trouble and affect the relations between the two sides......"

Wang Xian waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry too much, why did the evil demons of Zhizhou directly refuse when I was about to visit, didn't you think that it would affect the relationship between the two sides? Besides, Dingguo Hou also said very clearly, now they are asking for us, not for us to beg them, this primary and secondary relationship has not been clarified, what are they talking about? Zhang Gu, don't look at their exquisite skills, they will be taken into account, this waist pole should be straight!"

After speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left, and someone in the back naturally arranged to notify the Tianzhi people in the post station.

Looking at the back of the left-behind guards, an official muttered in his heart: "Why did this Wang Xian suddenly harden his tone? Didn't he compromise everywhere in the past, and make mud?"

But after thinking about it, I understood again: "That's right, there is the Marquis of Dingguo here, and it is normal for this waist pole to be a little harder, after all, the Marquis of Dingguo is fighting in the east and west, whether it is the four sides, or the family in this country, no one is his opponent, it is that Tianzhizhou, and it is also the strategy of Dingguohou, together with the new army he trained, to be defeated, that Tianzhizhou's people, in front of others, rely on the exquisite skills, and still have a few advantages, but in the face of our Dingguohou, what is there to be arrogant?

When I thought about it like this, my thoughts flowed smoothly, and my spirit and spirit quickly improved.

The two officials in charge of this matter glanced at each other, both took a breath, and said with a smile: "It seems that we don't have to continue to be angry, let's go over and make it clear, the province still thinks of itself as an uncle!"

..................

The post station in the west of the city is divided into five courtyards and three floors, and the second floor is elegantly arranged, and at this time there are several people in ink clothes talking in it, their expressions are quite solemn, and their words are also full of a taste of uncertainty.

"Strategist, according to what you said, I have rejected the visit of the Marquis of Dingguo, so will the rest of the matter be handled easily?"

The man known as the military advisor was also dressed in ink, but his expression was different from that of others, and when he heard this, he said: "Don't worry about the ink man, this is also in my expectation, now the court is strong, and my heavenly ambition is weak, and I ask the court to send troops to assist our army, and open the situation in Zhutuolan, if you don't suppress the momentum and momentum of the other party first, then you must completely master the rhythm, not to mention the conditions, I am afraid that you will become the foil of the other party." ”

"I see. Among the people, there was a calm demeanor, and he nodded when he heard the words, "I am waiting for this to come here for peace talks, but I must not bow my head, we must find a way to let this Da Rui's court contribute troops to us, and it is best to get some benefits." ”

The military advisor praised: "What the Mo Master said is extremely true, the entire imperial court, in fact, does not know much about my Tianzhizhou, the more this is the case, the more it can be used, maybe it is still a disadvantage, but it can blackmail additional benefits." ”

When his words fell, some people became worried: "But Zhu Tuolan's side is now losing and retreating, and he can't support it, and he really can't afford it." ”

"The more times like this, the more you have to calm down," the military advisor glanced over, "You know, in today's situation, the more anxious we are, the less confidence and bargaining chips we have, and we can only let the other party slaughter, which is the worst situation." ”

The ink man nodded and said: "Yes, at this time, you can't let go of the benefits, then the Darui Imperial Court itself intends to unite with us, after all, this is their ministry, I waited until it was really difficult to support, and retreated directly, at most I lost troops and generals, but their situation is different, there is no place to hide, so we don't have to worry about ......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Although this eastern capital is not the capital, but after a few years of blessing, there is also a piece of the imperial palace that accompanies the capital, which is also suppressed by dragon energy, and has suppressed the extraordinary power.

Outside the door, a voice came: "The one who turned the fine ink, the two officials before Da Rui came again, saying that they brought the order of the Marquis of Dingguo." ”

"Orders?" the ink man sneered, "This Dingguo Marquis really thinks he is a character, and he dares to give us orders, forget it, let people come, I want to hear how they answered." ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at the military advisor, revealing a tacit expression, thinking that the other party was responding to his previous actions, and the next step was to bargain.

"Originally, I led this group of people over to ask for help, but if I can get benefits on the basis of asking for help, I will immediately be valued a lot," the person who turned the fine ink even had his own plans, "I am not outstanding among the ink people, but the thick armor, Guanyan and others, don't they also suffer in the hands of the Marquis of Daruiding, if I take advantage, it will be a stark contrast......"

Thinking like this, he was still thinking about whether to continue to persecute after a while, or to reduce the demand to prevent the talks from collapsing.

"The degree between this tightness must be well controlled, otherwise it may be self-defeating. ”

With such a thought, when he saw the two Darui officials again, he still sat on the chair calmly, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking slowly, letting the two wait, and then put down the cup and said indifferently: "Didn't I sue you, I just came to the Eastern Capital, I am not accustomed to the water and soil, and I need to recuperate before I can see the Marquis of Dingguo, otherwise if I am rude, it will be disrespectful."
