Since the news of the defeat of the Mogu people had not yet reached the imperial capital, the dignitaries and people of the imperial capital had a happy Spring Festival.

Especially those officials, through different channels, learned that the imperial court would join forces with the Mogu people to deal with Jia Min and Chang'an, and the expectation that the war would end soon rose in their hearts.

This expectation is naturally that the Tianshun court will win and Jia Min will fail to fight against the thief.

People have this kind of heart, not because they think the court is good, nor because of how bad Jia Min is. This is only a judgment based on self-interest.

They belong to the vested interests of the existing court, and if Jia Min overthrows the court, their fate will be in great uncertainty.

Due to strict secrecy, the matter of Mogu Guren's title of king is still unknown to the outside world. If they knew that the court and the Mogu people had reached such conditions, they didn't know how they would feel.

This year's beginning of spring is relatively late, and the beginning of spring is only on the eighth day of the first month.

After the beginning of spring, there are several warm days in a row, and the little snow left over from winter melts.

The snow melted, and the ground that had been covered in winter was gradually revealed.

As the ground was revealed, there was also news about the Mogu people, the Guangfu Army and the Beihai Volunteer Army.

The 200,000-strong army of the Mogu people fought with Jia Min's 40,000 people on the Mogu grassland, and was finally killed by Jia Min nearly 170,000 people, and Jia Min won a complete victory.

This news came from Sheng Jing at the beginning.

Because it's so bizarre and beyond common sense, people don't believe it. thinks that this is Jia Min and Chang'an anti-thieves boasting about themselves.

However, more and more news came from different channels.

On the night of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, many notices appeared overnight, and this news was also written on them.

In the end, what made people believe was the news from their relatives and friends from Shengjing and Mogu Grassland.

That's when people believe that this is true.

The imperial court got the news earlier. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, I received an excerpt from Shanhaiguan. Later, from Mogu's channels, the authenticity of this news was also proven.

However, the imperial court suppressed the news.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the emperor Han Tiandou even went out of the palace in person and showed his face at the temple fair to show that he was happy with the people and the world was peaceful.

The days of panic were difficult, but they passed day by day. In a blink of an eye, it ushered in the fifteenth day of the first month.

At night, the city is lit up with lights. That's people bringing lights to the cemetery.

It is said that on this day, the deceased loved ones will return home and send lamps to light the way home for the ghosts.

Because many people had to go out at night to deliver lamps, the gates were not closed. However, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities, the Jinyi Army, and the Shuntianfu have increased a lot.

There was also part of the army, which was stationed outside the city.

Although people didn't say it, they all knew in their hearts that they were afraid that Jia Min and Princess Chang'an of the previous dynasty would call.

The news of the defeat of the Mogu people, coupled with the news that the south has been almost completely occupied by Jia Min, makes people realize that it seems that they are about to change the dynasty again.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when the people of the imperial capital got up, they found many notices in the streets and alleys.

It is written on the back that the imperial court colluded with the Mogu people to make the great chief of the Mogu people, Atai, the king, and cede the land north of the Great Wall to the Mogu people.

Although the proclamation was quickly taken down by the Jinyi Army, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Shuntianfu Yamen, the news quickly spread throughout the city.

In an instant, the entire imperial capital was full of discussions. People gathered in twos and threes to discuss the truth of the matter.

It is not only the people who are discussing this matter, but also the emperor and the ministers of the court.

At this moment, the emperor was in the Wuying Palace, discussing this matter with a group of ministers.

The princes and ministers who came included Li Guozhong, the king of Xining, Song Kuan, the prince of Dongping, Han Tiankui, the general of Ningguta, Gao Wangshan, the secretary of the military department, Luo Qihua, a scholar of the Military Machinery Department, Sun Tongren, the commander of the Jinyi Army, and Yin Jiayu Village, Shuntian Prefecture.

Several other scholars, after the dispersal of the court, went to work on other urgent matters, so they did not participate.

"Zhong Aiqing, just now in the court, there was no result, some things, it is not convenient to say more in the court, now there is no one else here, you are all my humerus ministers, just talk about what to do? The Mogu people were defeated, how to deal with Jia Min now? ”

Han Tiandou's mind was chaotic, especially those announcements last night, which made him particularly annoyed.

Although the ministers did not mention the matter of listing the land king, he also knew that the ministers believed that it was true.

Han Tiandou glanced around, but no one spoke.

"Sun Tongren, as the commander of the Jinyi Army and the commander of the Nine Gates, the Jinyi Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are under your jurisdiction, and so many rumor-mongering notices appeared in the imperial capital overnight, what are your people doing?"

As soon as Sun Tongren saw the emperor mention him, he knew that something was wrong and hurriedly knelt down.

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister deserves death. The minister was negligent, but this matter really had little to do with the minister. The night patrol and watch are all done by Shuntianfu. ”

"Sun Tongren, you don't have to shirk. The city gate has always been guarded by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the Shuntian Mansion has never intervened. If those spies don't come in through the city gates, will they fly in from the sky? ”

Jia Yucun also hurriedly knelt down and shirked his responsibility.

"All right, don't fight, get up. It is not surprising that every day the city gates go in and out, mixed in a few fine works. The top priority now is how to deal with Jia Min. ”

Han Tiandou waved his hand impatiently, and Sun Tongren and Jia Yuanchun got up and stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a saying, I don't know if to say it or not?"

Li Guozhong, the king of Xining, came out to speak.

"If the king of Xining has anything to say, just say it."

"The minister thinks that when dealing with Jia Min now, Huairou should be the main thing."

"Huairou? How to be gentle? ”

"Zhao'an."

"How to recruit An?"

"Give him a high official."

"Now that he has defeated the Mogu people, and the south has fallen into the hands of Chen Yejun and Feng Ziying, what kind of officials can he give him before he can agree to recruit An?"

"The Jia family is the Duke of Rongguo and the Duke of Ning Guo of the previous dynasty, it is better to restore the titles of the two dukes of the Jia family, and then give Jia Min and his subordinate high-ranking officials Houlu. As for Jia Min, you can give him a scholar's position. ”

"Then what should Chang'an do?"

"The former emperor Zao Wou-Ki has already married Chang'an to Jia Min, so you might as well give her a first-class order, and that's it."

"Zhong Aiqing, what do you think?"

"The minister seconded the proposal, and what the king of Xining said is extremely true."

Luo Qihua, who has not spoken, has made a statement.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

This time it was the military department Shangshu Gao Wangshan.

Gao Shangshu said.

"The minister thinks that the plan of the king of Xining is feasible, but Jia Min may not agree to this condition."

"He still doesn't agree, is he still too young? Does he have to sit in my seat for him to be satisfied? ”

Han Tiandou stood up, then came to his senses and sat down.

"Gao Shangshu, get up. Song Shinephew, you have always been resourceful, but what do you have in mind? ”

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and Gao Shangshu have the same opinion. also thinks that Jia Min will not agree to Zhao'an. ”

"In your opinion, what official do you want to give him, and he will agree?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being bold and outspoken, no matter what official he is given, he will not agree."

Song Kuan's words were a bit sour.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Luo Qihua seems to have come to the spirit.

"Scholar Luo said."

"The emperor can marry Jia Min and recruit Jia Min as a concubine. This move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which can not only break up the alliance between Jia Min and Chang'an, but also take Jia Min into the bag. ”

"Luo Qihua, my princess, how can you give it to a thief? Such a mediocre plan, you can think of it. ”

"The ministers deserve death, please forgive the emperor."

Luo Qihua stepped back and stopped squeaking.

The move just now was a risky move after he observed his words.

He had already calculated that the emperor would not agree, so he said so. Although this move will make the emperor unhappy, it can give people the impression that he is really thinking about Tianshun and the country.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan. I don't know if it's okay? ”

"Shuntianfu, you can say it."

"Now that Jia Min is the king of Beihai, it is better to make Jia Min the king of the domain, and let him become a vassal like Goryeo, Cochin, and Siam, and call him a minister, this is one of them."

"Second?"

"Second, Jia Min can also be named the king of the county, and when the time comes, Beihai will be included in my Tianshun territory. If this plan succeeds, the Celestial Empire will add a large piece of territory out of thin air. When necessary, in the close branch of the royal family, choose a random woman and give Jia Min as his wife. If it is the former, it is a harmony. If it is the latter, it is a marriage. In this way, I think Na Jia Min will definitely be willing. ”

"There is some truth to this plan, but it is too cheap Jia Min to rebel against thieves. Zhong Aiqing, what do you think? ”

Song Kuan saw that these people were still under illusion at this time, thinking that if Jia Min was given some sweetness, Jia Min would be obedient. I couldn't help but sink straight down.

Now that the south has been lost, and the Mogu people have been defeated by Jia Min again, who else is Jia Min's opponent in the world? As long as he captures the imperial capital, he can be the emperor himself, what title do you want? What do you want a woman not to?

He may not be willing to marry the princess to her, and he will find a woman from a nearby branch at random?

What's even more ridiculous is that he can't even keep his own country, and he still thinks about including Beihai into his territory.

Why are you?

What kind of character is Jia Min, how could he be fooled by this? It's all at this time, and it's still so whimsical. Are you stupid, or do you have other intentions?

"Your Majesty, forgive your words. The minister thought that Lord Jia's words were purely whimsical. At this time, for Jia Min, no matter how Huairou is, it is useless. The only option is to fight him to the death. ”

Song Kuan bluntly said what he thought.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what Song Xian's nephew said is reasonable. There is only one battle with Jia Min. The so-called Huairou plan is completely useless. ”

Ningguta General Han Tiankui had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, and it was not until this time that he came out to support Song Kuan.

As for how to deal with Jia Min, in the past two days, he himself has thought about it countless times, and he has also discussed it with his master and some people close to him.

Those people also came up with all kinds of plans, and what those who are here today can think of, they have already thought of.

The final conclusion is the same as Song Kuan, there is only one battle.
