Chapter 422: Housework
Jinling regained its peace in a short period of time, and Sima Yu also regained his freedom in a real sense. He changed from a prisoner under Zhu Tongjing's custody to Xiao Ling's guest, and Xiao Ling also became a key figure in the court because of his advice.
At this time, the situation in Jinling still maintained a balance, and after a short period of calm, it was a bloody storm. The four auxiliary ministers of Song, Huang, and Li Yue, as well as many of the political interest families behind them, were suppressed and destroyed because of this. As the leader of this matter, Xie Rumo maintained his usual ruthlessness, and when he pushed out the responsibility for the coup, he doomed the destruction of the original four auxiliary ministers of Song, Huang and Li Yue.
The old does not go to the new and does not come, among the newly promoted auxiliary ministers, Zhu Tongjing is the upstart and the old favorite. And Xiao Ling and Xiao Tong are the people who were launched to balance the court situation, Xiao Ling was advocated by Empress Dowager He to become an auxiliary minister, and Xiao Tong was introduced by Xie Rumo.
Even after Xiao Tong was appointed as an auxiliary minister, the king of Linjiang, who lived a hard life in the fiefdom, rushed to Jinling.
Putting down the information on the current situation in Jiangnan, Han Jian also knew in his heart, he had been sending people to monitor Jiangnan's every move these days, but he was ignoring the battle situation in Yuzhou.
After learning that Zhu Tongjing and the Queen Mother's party were already incompatible, Han Jian knew that his old opponent had reached the point where it was difficult to ride a tiger. In general, the changes in the situation in Jiangnan are developing in a favorable direction for Yuzhou.
The more tense Jinling is, the safer Jiangdu will be, and the safer Jiangbei will be. Empress Dowager He, Zhu Tongjing and Xie Rumo took care of their own internal fighting, so they didn't have the heart to take advantage of the chaos in Jiangbei to send troops. This was a good thing for the Wei Dynasty to quickly calm down the situation.
By the end of August. Letters asking for help from Yuzhou were constantly sent to Jiangdu City. The letters for help made Han Jian vomit and be upset. When Jiangdu was in an emergency, he never sent a letter of distress to Yuzhou, and now Yuzhou is in danger, Yang Luochuan seems to want his son-in-law to "do his filial piety", which is simply forcing him to send troops.
Han Jian did send soldiers and horses, and Lin Zhan's vanguard had already arrived at the city of Yuzhou, but there was no exchange. Whether it is with the South Wangfu or the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu that kissed the South Wangfu. Lin Zhan's vanguard is no longer a secret. When the soldiers and horses of the East Wangfu reappeared under the city of Yuzhou, it was easy for people to think of the time when Han Cui and Han Zhao took 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yuzhou a few years ago. It is also natural for people to wonder if Jiangdu is ready to reap the benefits this time. Take the opportunity to take Yuzhou.
In the past. Jiang Du made such a secret move to send troops. It will be seen as self-defeating. But after Dongwangfu won the battle of Jiangdu, Yuzhou's troops also seemed reasonable. When others talk about Jiangdu's soldiers and horses, they also have a heartfelt admiration. After all, being able to almost completely annihilate the soldiers and horses of Luoyang under the pressure of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wangfu proves the strength of the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu. And the ambition of the Eastern Prince's Mansion was also manifested through this battle.
Compared with the Western Mansion and the Southern Palace, the Eastern Mansion has no way out in terms of political position, because the empress is in Jiangdu, everyone in the world is looking at Jiangdu, and the scholars in the north will even look at Jiangdu.
Under such circumstances, Jiang will not show any courage to come out, and he will not be able to win the hearts and minds of the people.
But when the news spread that Lin Zhan's soldiers and horses appeared under the city of Yuzhou, not to rescue Yuzhou but under the city of Chen Bing, Han Jian faced a trouble. is the dissatisfaction of his "chief military advisor" Yang Li'er.
Han Jian didn't care too much about the opinions of the people in the Luoyang faction of the imperial court, and he was right to think that those people were farting. But the stability in the backyard is really a headache for him, mainly because he is ruthless to Yang Li'er.
"Didn't you say that General Lin's soldiers and horses were sent to rescue Yuzhou? Why don't you accept the envoys and consult with them about the aid of the city? As soon as Han Jian returned to Yang Li'er's courtyard, Yang Li'er came out to question Han Jian, not caring about his image at all.
Han Jian sat down, sighed, and said, "Qian'er, didn't you say it before, if your father is not sincerely loyal to His Majesty, then even if the soldiers and horses are sent out, they will only wait and see." ”
"No, I can't. Yuzhou is already in an emergency, and my father has sent many waves of people to ask for help, you don't care...... How did you, the son-in-law of Nanwangfu, be? ”
Yang Li'er said, already wiping her tears.
Others crying, but Han Jian doesn't feel anything. Even Gu Xin'er shed tears in front of him, it would not have such a great effect.
But after all, Yang Li'er is the female general who can fight on horseback on the battlefield, how arrogant she is, but in front of him she shows the weakest side of her youngest daughter's family, Han Jian feels a little unbearable. He really didn't have anything else to do but coax him with good words.
If it was just an ordinary family matter, it would be easy to do, but Yang Li'er insisted on a military affair. Han Jian didn't want to confuse the two, but he knew that as the king of the east, he couldn't leave many things behind.
Han Jian went up to coax for a while, but Yang Li'er was still wiping her tears. Han Jian had no choice but to reiterate his plans and opinions again.
He also tried to be ruthless and refused Yang Li'er's crying. For him, it is important to love his wife sometimes, but the position of the head of the family also needs to be consolidated. He gradually discovered that the more kind he was to the backyard, the more unruly the women in the backyard would become. For example, Wen'er has now learned to be "neither big nor small" in front of him.
"In the past few days, the second batch of soldiers and horses has been mobilized, but this batch of soldiers and horses is mainly mobilized to quell the rebellion of the Shandong generation." Han Jian said.
"You...... Don't go to save Yuzhou? When Yang Li'er heard this, she couldn't help but be more anxious.
Originally, Han Jian said that he would go all out to rescue Yuzhou, but now it is good, Han Jian only symbolically sent all the soldiers and horses, but now he is focusing on the chaos in Shandong. Isn't this disregarding the safety of Yuzhou?
"Qi'er, you won't understand the truth of Wei Wei to save Zhao, right?" Han Jian asked with a sigh.
"You...... Do you want to hit Luoyang? ”
"It's one thing to fight or not, it's always okay to threaten. You probably have a good idea of how many soldiers and horses there are in Jiangdu, even if all the men, women and children in Jiangdu are transferred to save Yuzhou, what do you think will be the chance of victory? Han Jian said.
"Who wants what men, women and children? In fact...... I also want you to have this heart. You sent troops and horses, but coerced the Nanwang Mansion, you let me ...... How to deal with yourself? ”
Han Jian hugged Yang Li'er and said, "Li'er, give you a promise." There will never be anything wrong with Yuzhou, even if your father is obsessed and refuses to be loyal to His Majesty, I, as a son-in-law, will not let Yuzhou go. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, it's a big deal to fight a fish and a dead net, and fight with a few jackals of the Wei Dynasty. ”
When Yang Li'er heard this, she felt ashamed of Han Jian, after all, in military affairs, her influence had already influenced Han Jian's decision. What she did today was just taking advantage of Han Jian's love for her, which was a bit pampered. But in fact, this is exchanging the interests of Jiangdu for the interests of Yuzhou. As for his own troops, Han Jian had already made a comprehensive plan.
"Xianggong, Li'er is wrong." Yang Li'er "accepted it when she saw it" at the right time, although she didn't get the result she wanted, but she also got Han Jian's promise.
For her, Han Jian's commitment is more important than anything else. The East Wangfu is now controlled by Han Jian, Han Jian has fully grasped the military and political power of Jiangdu, no one will think about whether Han Jian is fledgling, but Han Jian is indeed lacking capable and able helpers.
"Li'er, I still need you to pay more attention to the things on the march." Han Jian said, "As for political affairs, Erniang is also running these days, and seeing that winter is about to begin, Jiangdu is not having a good time this winter." ”
After the first half of the war in Jiangdu, many industries and land were abandoned. In the short term, the impact of the war will be reflected in the loss of population, and in the medium term, in a year or two, it will be reflected in the reduction of food production and materials. This is a legacy of the war.
Now that there is a wave of unsettled, it is impossible for Jiang Du to completely withdraw from the matter. Next, we have to face the battle in Yuzhou. Jiangdu, as an ally of Yuzhou, has long been concluded whether or not to send troops, after all, Yuzhou is also the only ally that Jiangdu may ally with, and a loss of Yuzhou is equivalent to losing the barrier, and Jiangdu cannot survive in the gap between the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu.
"In the past few days, the Nanwang Mansion has sent envoys again. or to discuss the matter of sending troops. Han Jian said, "But this time the envoy should know that Jiangdu has already sent troops, and he may make a fuss about it." Don't go to see these envoys these days, Qiang'er. ”
"Why?" Yang Li'er was puzzled.
"I'm afraid that these people have bad intentions and will kidnap you." Han Jian said.
"Hmph." Yang Li'er was originally sitting in Han Jian's arms to enjoy the warmth, but when she heard this, she got up and glared at Han Jian angrily, "Who are you as a concubine?" The concubine has married into the East Wangfu and married her husband, does the princess believe in the concubine? ”
"Not really." Han Jian smiled, wanting to expose this problem.
"Xianggong, what Xiang'er wants to say is that even if Xianggong doesn't want to save Yuzhou in the end, Xiang'er will only act willfully, and ...... in the future I don't want to talk about Yuzhou. lest thou be embarrassed. ”
Han Jian was silent for a while and didn't say much.
In fact, he has been upset about not being able to send troops lately.
I wanted to live a leisurely life, but he was in a high position and could no longer live with a normal heart. There are many things to mediate and then think about it in the long run, which makes him feel a little tired. This made him feel like he wanted to let go and live his life freely. But once the power is held and then released, it is tantamount to self-destruction.
Han Jian sat in Yang Li'er's room for a while, and then went over to have a family banquet with Yang Li'er. In the Dongwang Mansion, on the fifteenth day of the new year, family banquets are also indispensable. Originally, there were few opportunities for the family to sit together, but now Han Jian is busy with business, and he can only spare two days a month to accompany his wife and a few aunts.
When he arrived at the side of the main hall, Han Jian found that Han Song was a little nervous and was explaining something to the guards of the East Palace, Han Jian went up and asked, only to know that it was Gu Weipan who was assassinated and almost died. (To be continued......)
