Chapter 132: Two Lobbyists
The next morning, Liu Yan relieved Hua Tianyu of his position as a subordinate province of Pingguo Gong and changed his position to the idle post of Taifu, so Hua Tianyu retreated from the political arena of the Silk Country to the background, but his influence was still strong.

Half a month later, Queen Hua died. Liu Yan ordered the whole country to mourn, and specially ordered to crown Concubine Li as a concubine, and she would lead the harem, and hand over Liu Sixian, the princess of Pingguo, to be raised by Mi Guifei. Mi Guifei, who has never asked about political affairs, can be said to have been forced to the front line by the late Empress Hua, and has since stepped into the whirlpool of politics.
In addition, Liu Yan also crowned Liu Tanzhi as the king of Xiaokang County, and specially entered the post of servant of Shangshu Province. As soon as this personnel order came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty understood that this was to support the growth of the clan's strength, and Liu Yan did this obviously to prevent the power of the later party from growing. Just when people were speculating about what the emperor's next move would be, a man returned to the capital, and that was Gingill.
The return of Jin Ji Er can be said to be a surprise and joy for Liu Yan, the surprise is that Jin Ji has been active in the Western Regions, this time he returned to Beijing without Liu Yan's own will, and he was happy to meet his personal guard captain Jin Ji again. However, Liu Yan's mood did not last long, and when he told Jinji about his experience in the past few months, the smile on Liu Yan's face gradually froze.
"So, did you come back to see me this time at the behest of Hesa?"
Hearing this, Jin Jier hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, how dare Weichen be instructed by the Great Khan of Tuqi?" It's just that when Wechen was trapped in Dragon City, he had many talks with Hesa, and by all indications, Hesa was not like his father Abicheril, he had a good impression of our dynasty, and with his current strength, he was completely unable to pose a threat to our dynasty, and he couldn't deal with it just because of the Cheerlie of the period of the rocks. If we can cooperate with one of the parties at this time, we can not only balance the entire Turbid and create a stable northern border for our dynasty, but also gradually expand our power to the north. However, Weichen did not dare to make the decision on his own and the relationship with the Tuqi, so he returned to the capital to ask the emperor for instructions. ā
When Liu Yan heard this, his face softened a little. "That's it." I've heard of the current chaos in Tuqi, but it's just not as good as your own experience. I already have a plan in mind about the strategy of the Turge. But I'd like to hear from you first, which one should we work with? ā
Ginger replied, "Wechen thinks it would be better to cooperate with Hesa. First of all, Hesa was the son of Abicheril, and he was more justified in Taoism. Moreover, he had taken as his mother Berezigar of the Yan clan of Abicheril, the daughter of the former Great Khan Immidi and the sister of Bataan Khan, a family that was quite important in the minds of the Turks. Secondly, the strength of Hesa is weaker at present, and Cheriel is much stronger, and if we support the strong, we will soon unify all the places of Tukti, and Cheelel is very ambitious, and he will still be a great trouble for our dynasty at that time; However, Hesa is kind-hearted and yearns for our dynasty, and the road he needs to take to unify the deed is more difficult, and it is easier to reach a peace agreement with our dynasty. Thirdly, from a geographical point of view, Dragon City is closer to our dynasty, and it is easier to support the other party. ā
After listening to what Jin Jier said, Liu Yan pondered for a long time, and said, "I'm afraid you didn't come up with this by yourself, someone taught you to say it, right?" ā
Jin Jier's face turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty. It is true that this was not thought up by Wechen, but by Themon, the military advisor of Hesa. Although Timon must have tended to be inclined to his own, Wechen felt that he had some truth in it, so he quoted it and relayed it to His Majesty. ā
Hearing this, Liu Yan turned his head and glanced at Wu Sicheng beside him, and both of them smiled.
When Jin Jill saw it, he said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Is it right or wrong for Weichen to say this? Please also ask the emperor to make it clear! ā
Liu Yan snorted and said with a smile: "Jinjier, you are a smart person, although you have not read any books, but your judgment is not bad at all. Although Timmon's statement has the meaning of whitewashing himself, there is a reason for it. This point coincides with Wang Hanxin's previous statement, as well as the analysis of Wu Shaoqing and Xue Bingbu. We were wondering when to send an emissary to the Turks, and it happened that you were back at this time, and that was just right! I have appointed you as an envoy plenipotentiary to Turch to negotiate an alliance with Hesa! ā
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen for your order!" Kingier rejoiced.
Liu Yan said: "You are tired from the journey, and you will rest for a few days first." In the next few days, I will have to discuss the terms of this peace negotiation with the ministers, so you should step back first, and I will personally pick up the wind for you. ā
"Wechen obeys." Ginger kowtowed, then stood up and stepped back.
Seeing him leave, Liu Yan said to Wu Sicheng: "This is different from our previous thoughts, since it was Tuqi who took the initiative to reveal this intention, then it seems that the conditions of this peace negotiation can be reconsidered." ā
Wu Sicheng nodded again and again: "Your Majesty is right, according to what Ginger said, Hesa is currently in an extremely disadvantageous situation, and this is a good time for us to take the opportunity to blackmail him." And the minister suddenly had a new idea, since our army has successfully built a city in Sand Lake City, why not use Sand Lake City as a base to set up a capital protection mansion? In this way, not only can we push our borders thousands of miles north and create a buffer zone for our border areas, but also infiltrate into the territory of Tuked, eat away at the forces of Turgi little by little, and control the forces of Turgi in the Mobei region. ā
Liu Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "You're getting worse and worse." But who should be the protector of this metropolitan palace? ā
Wu Sicheng arched his hand and said: "Weichen thinks that there are two candidates for His Majesty to choose from. One is Liu Xianzhi, the king of Zhongyi County, and the other is Wang Hanxin, the crown prince. ā
"Them?"
"Not bad. These two are rare generals in our dynasty, and their appointment as the protector will definitely be more effective in curbing the conflict. And there are other advantages to being the protector of both of them: if the king of Zhongyi is the king, then naturally he can no longer continue to serve as the envoy of Taiyuan, although he is still the barrier to the north of our court, but it can solve the current situation that the military in the north of our court is completely filled by him alone; If Wang Hanxin is appointed, he can be transferred from the prince before his relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is deep, so that on the surface he is the foreign aid of the Prince, but in fact, with Wang Hanxin as a person, once there is a war, he will inevitably give priority to the interests of the country rather than the interests of His Royal Highness the Prince. ā
Liu Yan was silent for a while before saying, "What you said is very reasonable, I need to think about this matter again and make a decision." ā
