Seeing that Lan Tian's words were conclusive, Zhang Zhao would not cause social shock as long as Lan Tian did not use Jiangdong's money and food, so he smiled, bowed his hands, and gradually turned the topic elsewhere.
Unknowingly, Lantian arrived outside Jianye City. Looking at the simple and tall city walls, he thought to himself that this was the beginning of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It really gave people a solemn and solemn feeling.
Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wen greeted each other at the city gate on behalf of hundreds of officials. Zhang Zhao was very pleased to see his son standing in front of the people. After a brief greeting, everyone gradually entered the city.
The common people in Jianye either spontaneously or carefully organized prepared pots of rice and wine to welcome Master Wang.
The streets were not as spacious as those in Guangzhou, but so many people suddenly came to watch, making the city crowded for a while. However, the besieged troops had bright armor, the sound they made when walking, and the aura of murder exuding from their bodies, so the onlookers moved out of the way at a distance.
Lantian has seen this kind of scene many times, and the trapped troops can protect it well, so he doesn't worry about assassins appearing.
"Master Fu, we are here." When Zhang Zhao reminded, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Wen led everyone to stop in front of King Wu's palace.
I saw hundreds of officials from Jianye standing in several rows outside the palace gate. They all saluted and said hello to Lan Tian who was on horseback. Lan Tian frowned and said, "Is the ostentation too grand? Why did you choose to discuss matters in the palace?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. The palace of King Wu is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is where the courtiers discuss matters and handle government affairs. The back is where Mrs. Sun Quan and her children's courtyards and palaces are now closed by soldiers sent by General Yu. It will not affect the king.
Handle government affairs." Zhang Zhao replied with clasped fists.
Lan Tian finally saw Hu Ke in the crowd, and with a startled glance, he found that the other person had not changed much. Although the two people's eyes did not communicate much, they understood each other tacitly.
"Let's go, don't stand here, let's go into the palace to discuss matters." Lan Tian waved his hand and walked in front, followed by Lan Yuan and Lan Ji, one on the left and one on the right. It felt like a father and son fighting in battle. Zhang Zhao and others were closely following.
Followed by.
The entire Jianye City, including the Wu Palace, was completely controlled by Hu Ke, so Lan Tian did not bring any guards into the palace. With the Lan brothers at his side, there would be no assassins to kill him.
After entering the palace, Lan Tian took the main seat, and the ministers, as agreed upon, gave up their seats on the right side to the people Lan Tian brought, while all the ministers of Soochow crowded on the left side.
Since Gan Ning did not enter the city, Lan Yuan took the first place on the right, Lan Ji stood beside Lan Tian to guard him, and the veteran Zhang Zhao was still first on the left.
Lan Tian first glanced around the hall and asked with a smile: "Are all the important officials of the Soochow Dynasty here?"
Gu Yong came out of class and answered with his hands raised: "Master Huifu, except for the former prime minister Sun Changxu (Sun Shao) who is seriously ill at home, all the other officials at the county level and above are in the palace."
Lan Tian nodded lightly, and then threw a sweet date to everyone, "Your Majesty has been ordered by heaven to inherit the emperor's legacy. Sooner or later, he will regain the old mountains and rivers. You can wake up and draw a clear line with Sun Quan, the sinner who rebelled against Cao Pi. This general will report to the meeting.
Your Majesty will reward you according to your merits. Please publish the list of those present. Yuan Tan will compile it into a book later and send it to Chang'an together with the memorial in two days."
"Wei." Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong replied in unison.
"Although we are meeting each other for the first time today, everyone should have heard of the name Black Owl. Isn't it like ordinary people, with two eyes and one nose?"
Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the palace, Lan Tian laughed at himself and joked with everyone, which immediately relieved everyone's tension. Then Zhang Zhao introduced the officials of Soochow, and Lan Tian also nodded in greeting.
After Zhang Zhao finished the introduction, seeing that there were no actual appointments in Lantian, he took the initiative to ask: "Fujun, all the officials in Jiangdong were originally appointed because of the King of Wu. Now that we have returned to the Han Dynasty together, we definitely cannot use the previous titles, and Jianye is feudal because of the feudal title."
Due to the city and other reasons, all the government offices have been closed and neglected, and there must be a mountain of official backlog. I wonder what your plans are?"
"Jiangdong has not yet been completely pacified. The yamen in Jianye can be opened one after another. However, the city defense must continue to implement military control. There should be people loyal to Sun Quan in the city. Everyone cannot take it lightly. General Yu has made great achievements in defending the city in the past. Jianye city defense can still be maintained by
You continue to be responsible." Lan Tian pointed at Hu Ke and said.
"Wei." Hu Ke nodded with his fists clasped.
Although Hu Ke helped Zhang Zhao surrender to the Han Dynasty, he was actually considered by the officials to be a surrendered general from Jiangdong and a military force representing the Zhang family in Jiangdong. Lantian's arrangement surprised everyone. They all thought that they would use the trapping army to take over Jianye, but they didn't.
Thinking that they actually trusted the general so much, this move gave Zhu Huan, Quan Cong and others hope, thinking, could the general really make a difference?
"Your official positions are based on those granted by the State of Wu. It is naturally impossible to continue to use them. However, we need to ask Your Majesty for instructions on how to adjust them. During this period, everyone will still perform their duties as usual. A city as big as Jianye cannot be stagnant for a long time.
Jiangdong has been completely pacified, and when His Majesty's decree comes, I will reassign tasks to everyone." Lan Tian nodded and added.
"Jiangdong's household registration, land, tax and other accounts have been prepared in advance. Do you want me to..." Gu Yong hesitated to speak.
Lan Tian quickly shook his head: "It's the first time we meet today. As long as we all get to know each other, we don't need to discuss government affairs anymore. It doesn't matter if we rest for one more day."
"Uh...only..." As Gu Yong retreated, Zhang Zhao stood up again.
Zhang Zhaoxiao Yingying offered advice to Lan Tian: "Sun Quan's family, his wife and children are all in the harem, and the Sun family's mansion is also under control. I don't know what you plan to do with it? If you use this to coerce Sun Quan, he will inevitably choose to surrender."
"After all, Sun Zhongmou is a prince. He is not a hero if he threatens his wife, concubines, and children. It is easy to defeat him openly. I understand Zibu's kindness. However, since we are officials of the Han Dynasty and we must be upright in our conduct, Sun's family members will be left to your Majesty's decision.
..." Lan Tian shook his head gently.
"Uh... Mr. Fu is right. The trapped army is so powerful. How can Sun Quan's remnant army be able to resist it? It's the old minister who was rude..." Zhang Zhao did not forget to pay tribute to Lan Tian when he spoke, completely ignoring the disdainful looks from others.
When Gu Yong saw that Zhang Zhao was defeated, he motioned to Zhang Wen to step out, thinking that since the Zhang family was favored by Lan Tian, ​​they should show off more at this time.
Zhang Wen and Gu Yong met Lantian last night. At this time, he confidently walked to the palace, bowed and said: "The Lord of the Palace and the King's Division are stationed in Jianye. We have nothing to do these days, so we have prepared a reception banquet for you. I don't know the Lord."
Can you spare some time..."
"Very good, I think we can have a banquet in the palace, and we can deepen the impression." Lan Tian practiced frugality during his stay in Jiaozhou, and rarely ate or drank with his subordinates without having anything to do. Being able to readily agree to Zhang Wen at this time is equivalent to giving a gift to the Jiangdong gentry.
's face.
Lantian's hot and cold behavior made Zhang Zhao, the leader of the surrender, feel confused. He thought to himself, "I have paid so much in front of you, why don't you just forget about it after taking advantage of it?"
