Chapter 433: The Royal Road

When he woke up, Han Jian's mood also improved with the sunny day. Thinking that the empress gave the conditions for marriage, yesterday I was entangled in the question of whether this is "true love", but when I think about it, I also feel that true love or something is just a floating cloud.

The most important thing is that the empress is willing to put down her body and marry him, which has already completed his goal of conquest. As long as the empress is by his side in the future, whether he has true love or not, isn't blind marriage still a lifelong thing? What's more, since the empress is willing to marry, it is not that she does not have the slightest affection for him.

Han Jian thought to himself, this true love can also be cultivated little by little, and if it can't be achieved in a year and a half, then it will take eight years in ten years.

The military order of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Han Jian has been sent to the front line in Luoyang, and Luoyang City is at his fingertips, so there is no need to worry about it anymore. Han Jian didn't expect Luoyang's "100,000 army" to do anything, and the reinforcements would also be urgently transferred to the front line in Luoyang to fight with the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu in Luoyang City.

Han Jian got up early in the morning and went to the side of the imperial court without breakfast, and Lin Ke got up earlier than Han Jian. When Han Jian arrived, Lin Ke was already sorting out some official documents, waiting to report to Han Jian.

"Lin Shangshu is quite dedicated." Han Jian said in an unkind tone.

"East King jokes." Lin Ke smiled embarrassedly, the last time the empress asked him to track down the assassins, he did it very smartly, and finally caught a few "assassins" and put the blame on the head of the Beiwang Mansion, Han Jian naturally didn't want to just go to the empress like this, but Lin Ke actually "trespassed" without authorization and went directly to the empress, bizarrely. The Empress even accepted it.

Han Jian didn't want to worry about whether the assassination of Gu Weipan was done by the empress, and since the empress didn't want to continue to pursue the assassin's affairs, he didn't need to have any psychological pressure. By the way, he also fulfilled his promise and wanted the empress to make a statement, so that Lin Ke could temporarily take over Gu Weipan's position and manage the affairs of the court. The empress was also "gracious".

In this way, Lin Ke became the prime minister, although the official residence was prominent, but because the imperial court really had nothing to do. In the past few days, Lin Ke has been preparing to build a pagoda. If you have something to do, sort out the opinions of the following officials and report them to Han Jian. He had nothing else to do.

"What's going on today?" Han Jian sat down and asked directly.

"It's not a big deal, the envoys from Yuzhou...... I don't know if the king of the east wants to meet? ”

"That Dou Sheng? It's pretty fast, so let's arrange it. I'll see you here. Han Jian said.

"Take the official, then arrange it."

Lin Ke said. Hurry away. The general yamen of the entire imperial court, but Han Jian was the only one, and he was a little deserted.

Han Jian knew. This court is just an empty shell, and it is the Dongwang Mansion that is really responsible for the top and bottom of the Jiangdu. Originally, no one would covet such an empty shell, but now that he had returned to Luoyang, Han Jian did not know the empress's next step. Whether the empress was going to return to Luoyang directly to revive the Wei court, or whether she would continue to stay in Jiangdu, needed to be discussed.

Once the empress returns to the dynasty, the officials in this empty shell will become "heroes", like Lin Ke, who is no longer just an empty shelf of the prime minister, and will have real power in his hands. Han Jianxin said that this was probably why Lin Ke wanted to squeeze his head into the court.

Half an hour later, the envoys of the Southern Palace, accompanied by Lin Ke, arrived at the imperial court's office.

The envoys of the Southern Palace, headed by Dou Sheng, have more than a dozen people, but only Dou Sheng is really in charge.

It was not the first time that Han Jian and Dou Sheng had met, he had also investigated this person, and in addition to being talented, he was also a madman. Because he had been put on a role by him, Han Jian was also more careful about this person, Dou Sheng was not an incapable man, it was some of the strategies he gave to King Nan, which made him feel stable and ruthless, and he was a person who could be wooed. But the premise of the wooing is that after the king of the south annexed Jiangdu.

After the salute, Dou Sheng entered the hall and sat down at the head of the guest, Han Jian sat directly in the main seat, and Lin Ke just sat on the side as an escort.

“…… His Royal Highness the King of the East, I am on the order of the King of the South of my family, I came to the table, I wish my dynasty to be prosperous, and I also want His Majesty to travel around the world, you can go to my Yuzhou. As soon as Dou Sheng came up, he first praised Han Jian's "great achievements", and praised Han Jian for his stability when the royal family of the Wei Dynasty was weak, and helped the empress to take care of the government.

"I don't think I have time to cruise the world lately." Han Jian replied coldly.

Dou Sheng laughed and said, "The East King is reasonable. His Majesty was unwell, and the King of the South of my family had prepared a lot of tributes, which I wanted to forward to His Majesty by the lower officials to show that the King of the South was loyal to His Majesty. ”

"Then why didn't King Nan come in person?" Han Jian asked.

"This ...... Yuzhou is still in the midst of war, and my Nanwang is flawless, I'm afraid ...... It will take some time before I come to Jiangdu and personally bow to His Majesty. ”

"When?"

"This depends on when His Royal Highness the East King will send the soldiers and horses to aid Yuzhou, and now the North King's soldiers and horses have withdrawn, but the soldiers and horses of the West King are still eyeing Yuzhou, which should not be underestimated. It is better for His Royal Highness the King of the East to give an order, so that the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu echo Yuzhou before and after, and the army of the West King will be repulsed, and the King of the South of my family will have time to personally come to His Majesty to ask for peace. ”

Han Jian looked at Dou Sheng coldly. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he suddenly felt that this Dou Sheng talked a lot, and he was very treacherous.

After talking for a long time, they all asked the East Wangfu to send troops first, and then talked about the loyalty of the South King.

"Mr. Dou is right." Han Jian said suddenly.

"Oh? His Royal Highness the East King thinks so too? That ...... send troops"

"When your King Nan has time, it's best to discuss the issue of sending troops again. It's time for this king to send a letter to the Xiwang Mansion to discuss how to attack Yuzhou. Han Jian replied coldly.

"You!" Dou Sheng's face seemed to be angry, and he suddenly stood up. Han Jian knew that this Dou Sheng was just putting on a posture to show the "integrity" of the envoy.

"I'm afraid that the king of the east will do this...... Not proper. Dou Sheng said as if suppressing his anger.

Han Jianxin said, this drama is still like that, and now it is clear on both sides that it is impossible for the East Wangfu to have any cooperation with the West Wangfu, and the reason why Han Jian said this is just to put pressure on the South Wangfu, so that the Nanwang Mansion will be soft and completely attached to the East Wangfu.

"Inappropriate? What's wrong? I want Mr. Dou to elaborate. Han Jian said.

"Sir doesn't dare to be. Fighting someone was just a small person before, and he was appreciated by the king of the south and recruited as a staff member, in fact...... I also want to be loyal to the court and make the world stable as soon as possible. Dou Sheng said, "Since His Royal Highness the East King asked what was inappropriate, then he bluntly said that if the East King Mansion does not help Yuzhou to solve the difficulty, in the future, don't think about Yuzhou to help Jiangdu." ”

Han Jian smiled: "It seems that Jiangdu really needs Yuzhou's backup?" Then dare to ask Mr. Dou, when Jiangdu was trapped, where was the king of your family? ”

"Don't talk about this yet. I just dare to ask, and now Jiangdu has sent troops to Luoyang, and it seems that it will be restored and the royal orthodoxy will be restored. At this time, the West Mansion and the North Mansion agreed? Dou Sheng Yizheng said a word.

Han Jian nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Mr. Dou's news is also well-informed. ”

"This matter has long been spread in the community, that is, the Southern Prince's Mansion, and I also know that now that the puppet emperor of Luoyang has fled north, Luoyang has no owner, but it is Jiangdu, and it is a major event to take advantage of the chaos to take Luoyang and restore the orthodoxy of the royal family. It is precisely because of this that the king of my family will send down to the majesty of the table to show that the king of the south is loyal to his majesty, if the king of the east makes things difficult, it is to ignore the king's land, Yuzhou is lost, that is to seek skin with the tiger. Your Majesty knows, but will you forgive His Royal Highness the East King for your sins? ”

Han Jian smiled faintly, what Dou Sheng said was quite reasonable, but it was in vain to say it for a long time.

He doesn't care about the life or death of Nanwangfu, even if he is Nanwang's fast son-in-law, Li'er is now in Yuzhou, and he has the same heart as him. And he had already made his position clear to Yang Li'er, if her father insisted on refusing to be loyal to the empress, then there was no need to mention the reinforcements.

Originally, Han Jian sent troops to Yuzhou, just to make Yang Luochuan defect earlier, and when Yuzhou was in danger, he took the opportunity to take Yuzhou as his territory. But the result was that Luoyang's march was surprisingly smooth, and before Yuzhou was completely lost, the army had already arrived in Luoyang, and he wanted to take Luoyang City.

At this time, the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Wangfu has almost relieved Yuzhou's difficulties, and Yang Luochuan, who was already anxious at this time, also has some capital for negotiation. Han Jian sneered in his heart, and said in his heart You Yang Luochuan thinks that now Yuzhou doesn't need Jiangdu to help, but don't forget, my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can not only solve your difficulties, but also make me anxious, I will go directly to capture your Yuzhou, and then see if you accept or not.

"Don't dare to be guilty." Han Jian learned Dou Sheng's tone and said, "King Nan's insistence on refusing to report to His Majesty in person means that King Nan is not sincere. His Majesty once said in advance, if the king of the south is sincere, then treat him with courtesy, if he insists on refusing, under the king's land, he must treat it with the royal road. I asked Mr. Dou to go back and tell the king of the south that within half a month, if the king of the south did not come to Jiangdu in person, Wang Daoke would come to Yuzhou. ”

"The royal road?" Dou Sheng thought for a while, and then understood the meaning of Han Jian's words, if you don't surrender in person, Jiangdu's soldiers and horses will capture Yuzhou.

"Does Mr. Dou think that Jiang Du will not dare to do this? Mr. Dou must not forget that at this time last year, if it wasn't for the fact that the king came to Yuzhou to mediate, the soldiers and horses sent by His Majesty had already taken Yuzhou, so why did Yuzhou send envoys to mediate with His Majesty today? Yuzhou is already the king's land, can it be that the king of the south wants to not respect the king? ”

Dou Sheng's face turned a little blue.

Originally, he thought that after the withdrawal of troops from the Northern Palace, the East Wangfu knew that it was not easy to conquer Yuzhou with the ability of the West Palace, so he came to lobby to defeat the soldiers and horses of the West Palace, and then restore the previous way of "forming an alliance" and maintaining reciprocal diplomatic relations with Yuzhou.

At the same time, he also knew very well that the empress had a lot of fine works in Yuzhou City. Jiang has to conquer Yuzhou, which is much easier than the West Palace. (To be continued......)
