The war on the front line was relieved, and the East Prince's Mansion was relatively calm. ＋＋x＋ What the East Prince's Mansion cares about is rewarding merits, while the Luoyang faction in the court was concerned about when the troops of Jiangdu will continue to go north and restore Luoyang.

Han Jian was worried about the invasion of the Xianbei and Bohai. For several days, he consulted with some officials of the court to discuss the matter. The basic argument was to first negotiate with the Beiwang Mansion and let the Beiwang Mansion go back to resist the Xianbei and Bohai people first.

A war that lasted only half a year has already caused a depression in the Central Plains, and Jiangdu, as the main battlefield, has even more destruction. Jiangdu needs some time to rest. Even some officials of the court understand this, unless it is a radical faction. Now that the Luoyang army is newly defeated, it seems that it can be defeated in one go, but the Northern Palace will definitely not sit idly by.

In a few days, Han Jian discussed with Gu Weipan many times about the invasion of the Xianbei and Bohai. Gu Weipan is considered to be the representative of the mean faction of the Luoyang faction. In Gu Weipan's view, the disputes within the Wei Dynasty can be temporarily resolved in the face of foreign enemies. After all, Gu Weipan always believed that the conflicts within the Wei Dynasty can be resolved at this stage at the moment, without the need to fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield.

"Tao Fu Gu, the first batch of envoys for peace talks have been sent out. This time, the envoys went to peace talks at the will of His Majesty. If nothing unexpected happens, news will be sent back in about ten days."

Gu Weipan heard Han Jian's words and hesitated slightly: "Your Majesty..."

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "I am still looking for it. Many people from my Jiuniang and the Eastern Prince's Mansion have entered Sichuan, but the trace of Your Majesty is still not found yet."

"The conditions for the peace talks. But the Northern Prince's Mansion abandoned the secret and turned to the light and no longer supported the ruthless ministers in Luoyang?" Gu Weipan asked again.

Han Jian shook his head again and said, "It's not time to care about these scenes now. Didn't the tutor Gu also say before that the most important thing is to resist foreigners?"

Gu Weipan's old face was a little dark. In his opinion, since it was a peace talk, it would have to be thorough. If Yang Yu had no support from the Northern Palace, he could be said to be a bird without wings now. Naturally, he thought Han Jian should take the opportunity to raise allegiance with the Northern Palace. In this way, the Northern Palace would still be loyal to the Queen in name, which would be of great benefit to the restoration of Luoyang in the future.

Han Jian said: "Now the battlefield is mainly concentrated on the front line of Luozhou. The Beiwang Army withdrew troops one after another. It seems that it is no longer interested in fighting. When the Beiwang Army withdraws from the territory of Jiangdu, the Jiangdu Army will conquer Luozhou. The war will come to an end."

"It's good to end earlier. However... the King of Eastern thoughts are more concerned about Luoyang." Gu Weipan said.

Han Jian understood that Gu Weipan was reminding him at all times not to forget to restore Luoyang.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to restore Luoyang, but that Jiang Du really doesn’t have the ability to restore Luoyang. It’s not just about the military defense of Luoyang City, but about the expressions of the other forces. At this time, other forces are also waiting and watching, and no one wants to be the first to stand out. Whoever fights Luoyang will mean that he must first assume the responsibility for the situation’s evil changes, and this side will inevitably become the target of attacks by other parties.

As soon as Han Jian returned to the Eastern Palace, someone came to report that it was the envoy of the Southern Palace who had entered the city.

The Southern King Yang Luochuan sent someone to come and said clearly that on the one hand, they were here to discuss the matter of the alliance, and on the other hand, they were here to send "dows".

The covenant was signed by Han Jian when he was in Yuzhou, and the dowry was Yang Xun'er's marriage dowry. Han Jian learned in advance that Yang Luochuan not only gave some symbolic clothes and property as dowry, but also gave Yang Xun'er's dowry, and Yang Xun'er's sister Yang E.

Han Jian had no good feelings for his father-in-law Yang Luochuan. Yang Luochuan did not provide any assistance when Jiangdu was in crisis. Instead, he wanted to use ten thousand soldiers to control the situation around Jiangdu. But the final result was that these ten thousand soldiers were "accompanied" by the Dongwang Mansion. This time, Yang Luochuan sent someone to say that the world was also for the matter of these ten thousand soldiers.

"Let the envoys come to the East Palace to meet him." Han Jian said.

After half an hour, the envoy arrived at the Dongwang Mansion in turmoil. However, he was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked very smart and had a goatee-beard and looked old and steadfast. Han Jian was wary of him.

"The Caomin has seen His Highness the Regent." As soon as the man came up, he knelt head-on and almost shouted.

"Caughter?" Han Jian frowned slightly. The Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Southern Prince's Mansion inherited the Wei Dynasty, and the ranks of officials were also the same. When the Southern Prince came to find someone, they would never find someone without officials or rank to be an envoy?

"That's right." The visitor knelt on the ground, his head still lowered. "The Caomin is a commoner, so he dare not make rash things in front of the Supervisor's Hall."

Han Jian is a little confused about Yang Luochuan's intention. Since he is sending an envoy to find a commoner, is there anything in it?

"Get up, somehow you call me?" Han Jian said.

After hearing Han Jian's words, the person who came to get up from the ground seemed to have his shoulders and legs and feet that were not very neat, and he got up slowly.

"The grass-roots people dare not speak a bad reputation in front of the Lord of the Kingdom, so as not to defile His Highness the Lord of the Kingdom."

Han Jian seemed very respectful when he heard this, but he had a secret sarcastic meaning.

Han Jian sneered: "Your Highness's priest's ears may be dirty at any time, and you are not the only one."

The man smiled and said, "Caomin's surname is Dou, named Dousheng, and has no name and no title. It's really... it's better not to mention it."

Dousheng? Han Jian thought about it and the name seemed familiar. After thinking about it, it seemed to be the name of a very famous hermit in the Wei Dynasty.

Han Jian had heard of Dou Sheng before because he had seen it in some folk biographical novels. When he was about ten years old, he bought a booklet about Dou Sheng in Jiangdu. On it, Dou Sheng was a "lawyer" who had no official position but was supportive of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, he was a pine stick. Later, because he offended the powerful, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and did not come out of the world. His master seemed to be very famous. Han Jian could not remember clearly after a long time, but he vaguely remembered that there was a school behind Dou Sheng, which was also a university school in the Wei Dynasty. However, because some people violated political taboos, the school gradually faded. However, there were many great figures in his school.

"Dousheng? A good name." Han Jian nodded slightly, "Who did Mr. Dou come?"

Dousheng didn't expect that Han Jian had confronted him before, and after hearing his name, he called him "Mr. Dou". He was surprised and thought to himself, could this young boy still hear of me, a man?

"Your Highness the Prince of Jianguo was joking. As an envoy of Yuzhou, Caomin naturally came on the order of the King of Southern to see... You are your Prince of Jianguo." Dou Sheng smiled.

"What's the matter?" Han Jian said again.

"This... the letter from the Southern King did not explain it clearly to His Highness the Superintendent?" Dou Sheng pretended to be confused.

Han Jian sat down and looked at Dou Sheng who bowed his head and said that this was definitely not Dou Sheng's true character. Dou Sheng was rumored to be arrogant and looked down upon by no one. The King of Southern could ask him to come out, and when he came up, he entrusted him with important tasks to get the ten thousand soldiers. It must be trusting his ability. In Han Jian's view, such a person is like a loach. What kind of posture does it show does not mean that this is his real posture.

"Why should Mr. Dou be so hypocritical?" Han Jian said with a smile. "When I saw you, Mr., I was wondering. How are you going to get back those ten thousand soldiers? This is what I don't understand."

Dousheng didn't expect Han Jian to say so bluntly. He smiled and said, "Your Highness the Prince of the State is making a joke. The King of the Southern Kingdom is not dead... What should I get back? I heard that the Prince of the State has borrowed a lot of things from the people of Qi, but it seems that he has not borrowed it from the King of the Southern Kingdom. If there is no loan, why should I pay it back?"

Han Jian smiled coldly and said, "What do you mean, the King of Southern will ignore these ten thousand soldiers?"

"Of course not." Dou Sheng lowered his head and bowed, and said with a smile, "The King of Southern said, 'These people betrayed the Lord and had a strange intention. What's the use of coming back if they want to come back? Even if they run away for wealth and honor, their wives, children, and young people will deal with it together. This kind of thing should be taken as a warning and cannot be imitated by other soldiers. The laws and regulations in the military should be clearly stated. This matter will be left to you.' Your Highness, you see, this is the original words of the King of Southern. The people just repeated it. If there are disrespectful things, your Highness, you must forgive me."

Han Jianxin said that Dousheng is not simple. Regardless of whether Dousheng is true or false, he said that the ten thousand soldiers and horses in Yuzhou changed their flags, which is unforgivable in the eyes of unforgettable.

Han Jian had heard of it before. After the Southern King calmed the riots in Yuzhou, he used cool laws to punish some officials and generals who participated in the rebellion, and even killed some people to scare the monkeys. However, Yang Luochuan targeted military generals and officials that time, and did not expand to the level of soldiers, because he was a general who knew that when he encountered rebellion, it was usually the main general's business, and had nothing to do with his soldiers.

If Yang Luochuan wanted to start a massacre this time, it would be possible. Dou Sheng seemed to be saying it easily, but it seemed to remind him that if you don’t hand over these ten thousand soldiers, all the wives and children behind them would not be able to survive. Will these people still work hard for you when they see it?

Han Jian sighed softly and said, "In this way, these people are indeed two-faced and three-faced. It seems that I must kill them first."

"Ah?" Dou Sheng's smile suddenly faded. He didn't expect Han Jian to say such words.

"Isn't it?" Han Jian looked serious, "If the King of Nan killed their wives, children, and young people first, they would sooner or later become a hidden danger. Then it would be better to kill them first to prevent them from having any other intentions. What does Mr. Dou think of this plan?"

Dou Sheng smiled and showed a look of "I underestimate you" and said, "Your Highness the Superintendent of the State of the State is very good, but it is difficult to implement it. It depends on which side of the process is faster. Unfortunately, when Cao Min left Yuzhou, he heard that the King of Southern was ready to kill people, and he ordered people to bring the news to Jiangdu. I wonder if Your Highness the Superintendent of the State of the State has heard of it?"

Han Jian now knows that murder is simply false. But some things do not need to happen, they just need to be trusted.

The Southern King does not need to kill people, he just needs to find people to spread rumors and let the ten thousand soldiers know that there will be mutiny in the army. And these ten thousand soldiers are now on the northern front line. If these ten thousand soldiers are angry and then mutiny in the army, it will be like a rat shit in a pot of porridge, and the steamed porridge will smell bad.

"Mr. Dou is threatening me?" Han Jian said coldly.

"I dare not, I dare not." Dou Sheng smiled, "Caomin said that what the King of Southern asked Caomin to come to Jiangdu to do has already stated that there is nothing to hide. Whether the King of Southern will kill people is indeed unknown, but he knows that someone has spread the news to Jiangdu. As for who it is, Caomin cannot say it well. In the view of the King of Southern, Caomin, Caomin, is just an outsider after all. His Highness the Superintendent believes that the King of Southern will tell a secret matter to an outsider?"

Han Jian stood up and said, "Since that's the case, Mr. Dou will invite him back. I have something to do."

Dou Sheng smiled and said, "Your Highness wants to send someone to the north to inform you immediately and kill all those ten thousand people? I'm afraid it's too late. Caomin heard that the King of Southern had already passed the news to Jiangdu. I believe that now, the army has already learned the news. Moreover, the King of Southern also accidentally leaked the news to some merchants in Luoyang. Perhaps these merchants would bring the news to Luozhou City, and the Northern King's Mansion seemed to have also known the news. It was too complicated and Caomin could not explain it clearly. It seems..."

When Han Jian saw Dou Sheng talking seriously, he knew that Dou Sheng was not simple. After Dou Sheng said so much, it is very likely that this strategy was proposed by Dou Sheng and Yang Luochuan. As long as a mutiny occurred in the Jiangdu formation, he would notify the Luoyang Army and the Northern King Army of the present situation. With Yun Jin's current situation, how could he not take the opportunity to counterattack and make a desperate attempt?

"I don't understand what Mr. Dou said," Han Jian said, "What does it matter if the news spreads?"

Dou Sheng was a little stunned again, thinking, would a person who was so smart and cunning just now be so confused that he couldn't understand?

"Your Highness, do you want the people to repeat it and state the pros and cons?" Dou Sheng asked.

"No need, I just want to tell Mr. Dou first that the ten thousand soldiers have been sent back to Yuzhou. Originally, they were representing the Southern Prince's Mansion to help the court resist the rebels. Now that they are victorious, it is time for them to return to their hometown." Han Jian said with a smile.

"What?" Dou Sheng widened his eyes.

Dousheng realized that if Han Jian's words were true, then things would be messy.

Originally, the news that the King of Southern wanted to kill the 10,000 soldiers and relatives came to Jiangdu was to make the 10,000 soldiers and horses feel hatred and then mutiny in the army. But if these 10,000 soldiers were already in Yuzhou, how could they easily give up after learning the news? At that time, wouldn’t these 10,000 soldiers go directly to Yuzhou City and turn the land of Yuzhou upside down?

"Don't joke with your highness, the war has not yet subsided, how could your highness send his troops back?" Dou Sheng smiled, but his face was no longer as confident as before.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Dou is wrong. Those ten thousand soldiers are not the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion. If I stayed behind the East Prince's Mansion, would I still ask for rewards for them regarding their merits?"
