On 24 March, Prince Gong and his entourage, who had just arrived in Wangping, heard the news of the conclusion of the negotiations.

Prince Gong was in a trance, was Lu Desheng negotiating so fast? Then he slapped his thigh and called the first emperor wrong, he shouldn't let Lu Desheng be the imperial doctor, but should put him in Honglu Temple, specifically to deal with foreign clans!

The subordinates looked at each other, and then asked him, "Lord Wang, then should we go to Houcheng?" ”

"Go!" It's all coming!

Not only Prince Gong and his entourage were surprised by Lu Desheng's efficiency, but Jiang and his entourage were honored after hearing about the great victory in the negotiations.

For example, the families of the Xu family, who were persuaded by their son to move their families to Liaodong County for the sake of their son's future, were really relieved when they heard the good news.

Liaodong County and even Pingzhou are not safe, and Xianbei will go south almost every year, not to mention that Houcheng also borders the Xianbei grassland, which is even more dangerous. Along the way, they were secretly worried about this.

Now that Lord Lu has just arrived in Hou City, he has solved this big problem, which is really good.

For at least the next three years, they don't have to worry about getting involved in the war. As for three years later? Let's talk about it. Maybe then Lord Lu will be able to negotiate another peace treaty? The family members thought optimistically.

With the spread of Lu Desheng's deeds, he gradually had the nickname of a famous man.

Many people of insight or people who have read poetry and books began to go to Liaodong County with their burdens, wanting to witness the demeanor of the famous man Lu Desheng. It's safe there now, anyway.

They either go alone or in groups, but without exception, they are very relaxed.

Looking at this scene, some hermits murmured, there are masters in Liaodong County.

In the Dali Imperial Court, Song Mo, the Son of Heaven, looked at the performance of Pingzhou Thorn Shi Tao and Lu Desheng's meritorious excerpt, and after the initial excitement passed, he sighed deeply.

It would be great if the person who achieved great results in the negotiations with Xianbei was not Lu Desheng.

This Lu Desheng is really a little lucky, in such a dangerous situation, he did not lose money, but made meritorious contributions, luck is really good.

Zuo Anmin glanced at the emperor and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, this Lu Desheng is a small county order, and he dares to take the lead in negotiating with Xianbei, isn't this specification not enough?" ”

Zhang Xian stopped doing it when he heard it, "Lord Zuo, didn't you hear what Pingzhou Assassin Shi said just now?" Because of the accident of the person who sent the letter, Pingzhou Assassin Shi and the county guard did not attend the agreed negotiation time, and the county order of Renlu was hard-headed, and he did things so beautifully, he should be rewarded. ”

Zuo Anmin didn't entangle with him, but said to Song Mo, "Lu Desheng is okay with this, but the emperor, Weichen thinks that if Lu Desheng delays the negotiation time and waits for someone with a higher status to preside over it, will the outcome of the negotiation be better?" ”

When Zhang Xian heard this, he sneered, "Have you ever thought that even if things develop according to what you said, Xianbei promised it for ten years, can we believe it?" ”

Zuo Anmin's fight is clearly to weaken Lord Lu's role and credit in this negotiation, with him, don't think about it!

Zuo Anmin choked.

Song Mo listened to the quarrel between the two ministers, and he didn't feel upset, his face was slightly red and excited at this time.

This is the first year of his accession to the throne, the signing of the peace treaty between Dali and Xianbei Wangting, which will be recorded in the history of Dali and can be regarded as one of his achievements as emperor.

In addition, this incident can also confirm from the side that he is the true son of heaven who is carried by heaven.

Song Mo was excited and a little regretful, and he even sighed.

Zhang Xian's heart tightened, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, this should be rewarded, and it should still be rewarded." ”

"I know."

When Zuo Anmin heard this, he shut up stupidly.

Zhang Xian hurriedly said, "The emperor is wise. ”

Song Mo nodded, a while ago, he asked people to sort out the relics of the imperial examination, and found the family heirloom book - "The Emperor's Heart Technique", he read it for a few days and was greatly inspired.

He finally understood what it meant that 'the Son of Heaven was appointed by Heaven to rule all the people on behalf of Heaven'.

The Emperor's Mind makes it clear that the royal family was committed to order and ethics because they were the cornerstones of its rule.

Merit will be rewarded, and mistake will be punished.

Otherwise, if the order is chaotic, the people below will be at a loss, and it will be detrimental to governing the country.

Therefore, this time Lu Desheng deserved the award. Lu Desheng was demoted and released, from the imperial doctor to a small county order, it doesn't hurt to give him a promotion now.

When Zhang Xian saw the Son of Heaven take out the jade seal and stamp the big seal on Lord Lu's reward document, he was relieved.

Hainan County, Panyu

Xie Zhan was checking the news about Liaodong County in his study at home.

At this time, Xie Qian and Xie Yuan, the two clan elders, as well as the younger generation of Xie Nan and Xie Bai, are also there, they are now the core members of the Xie clan, and they are mainly responsible for handling the affairs of the Xie Di clan. Xie Zhan's current focus is on the Chen family's side, and the Xie family's side will inevitably have something to take into account.

A few days ago, Xie Zhan and Chen Baozhu held a simple and solemn wedding.

These days, with Xie Zhan's efforts, Chen Jiaye handed over the intelligence collection to him.

After Xie Zhan took over, he immediately increased his investment in the manpower of Liaodong County.

In the past few days, a steady stream of news has been transmitted back from Liaodong County through the waterway.

The news that Hou Cheng had successfully negotiated and signed a three-year peace treaty also reached Xie Zhan as quickly as possible.

Looking at the information in his hand, Xie Zhan knew that the Qin and Lu families not only survived this catastrophe safely, but also died in Chengxiang.

After reading the letter, Xie Zhan handed it to Xie Qian, Xie Yuan and the others, and said by the way, "The negotiations in Houcheng are over, and Lu Desheng, as the new county commander of Houcheng, signed a three-year peace treaty with the Xianbei royal court in only two days. ”

Before that, Hou Cheng had news that he was going to negotiate.

Xie Yuan, Xie Qian, and the others were taken aback when they heard this, "How could it be so fast?" ”

yes, how can it be so fast? At this time, Xie Zhan took this question and spread out all the information he had collected about Liaodong County, studying and studying them one by one, and he always felt that the negotiation was full of strangeness.

"This kind of speed of negotiation is really rare." Xie Yuan felt incredible.

Xie Qian chimed in, "Isn't it?" It's like it's been negotiated early in the morning, but it's just a formality. ”

Xie Nan asked, "Family Master, do you think it is possible that Lu Desheng and the others colluded with the Xianbei Royal Court?" ”

Xie Zhan has also been thinking about this issue, in real negotiations, the opinions and demands of the two sides cannot be agreed so quickly.

Unless someone can accurately grasp the psychology of the top decision-makers on both sides, or collude with Xianbei......

Xie Zhan immediately denied the latter speculation, "Impossible, first of all, the Qin family has been stationed in the north for generations, and many of the sons of the Qin family have died in the north, they hate the foreign race, and it is impossible to collude with Xianbei." Moreover, Lu Songli will not leave such a fatal handle. "The general interests of the nation must not be wrong.

Excluding the second point, then only the first point remains.

Xie Zhan looked at this peace contract again, trying to consider the problem from the perspective of the Qin and Lu families.

In Xie Zhan's view, the peace treaty signed is very empty, and if you think about it deeply, it is actually an exchange.

The Xianbei royal court effortlessly rescued Tuoba Lian: the Son of Heaven gained a false name and merits: Lu Desheng relied on this peace treaty to seek huge benefits.

That's a game!

Xie Zhan suddenly realized, no wonder the negotiations ended so quickly!

This opportunity is fleeting, if the speed is not fast, there will be nothing to do with the Qin and Lu families.

Xie Zhan sighed lightly, Lu Songli's insight and grasp of people's hearts have gone further. After all, the thoughts of Tuoba Khan and Song Mo, the Son of Heaven, are not something that ordinary people can guess.

Under Xie Zhan's explanation, Xie Yuan and the others understood that Lu Desheng and the others did not collude with the Xianbei Royal Court, but tacitly reached a cooperation. Each side has benefited, and people can't grasp the handle.

The information was passed on in the hands of the four people, and after everyone read it, they were all speechless.

For a long time, "Now, the Qin family and the Lu family have gained a firm foothold in Liaodong County." ”

Moreover, the Qin family has the protection of Lu Desheng's in-laws, which is much stronger than their Xie and Zhao families.

Xie Qian, Xie Yuan and the others felt very uncomfortable, they used to see Lu Desheng and properly cause trouble, but now it is Lu Desheng who has supported the world for the Qin and Lu families.

Xie Yuan and the others' thoughts, Xie Zhan didn't care.

He held the pen, thought for a moment, crossed out Zheng Xun, and wrote the words Liaodong County Shou on Lu Desheng's head.

He knew that the emperor would definitely reward Lu Desheng's court, and it was difficult for the Son of Heaven to refuse such a merit that could be recorded in the history books.

Xie Zhan knew that he was one step behind the Qin and Lu families in Liaodong County, but he was not in a hurry, his plan was slowly progressing. When it succeeds, it will not be worse than the current Qin family and the Lu family. Moreover, the young talents in the clan, he has secretly sent out a few very good teenagers, which can be regarded as a backhand.
