"The people from Gaoyu are gone?" Xie Yan asked without raising his head when he heard the footsteps while standing behind the desk writing.
Wei Changting let out a long breath and said, "Why don't you leave? Wait until you trick them to death?"
He Ruomuti must have been very depressed during this trip. He came here with high ambitions, but he didn't get any advantage, which made him feel bad all over.
He Ruoyashu's father will definitely make trouble for him after he returns, but he has to leave. If Dasheng deliberately delays the investigation, he can keep these people for another two months.
When Heruomuti went back, the day lilies were really cold.
Of course, if you think carefully, this is not a case of them cheating He Ruomuti, it is clearly a case of his cousin He Ruoya Shu cheating him.
So it doesn't seem difficult to understand why Heruomuti left people in Dasheng.
Wei Changting walked to the side and sat down, saying: "You are torturing them like this, aren't you afraid that Gaoyu people will fall out with you?"
Xie Yan raised his head, glanced at him, and asked, "Has Gao Yu fallen out?"
Wei Changting touched his chin, shook his head and said, "No."
This is also very strange. The Gaoyu people were clearly arrogant during the previous negotiations and refused to give in to Dasheng officials. As a result, Xie Yan did not give them any face, and even pressed them step by step but retreated. It seemed that
The tolerance level seems to be quite high.
Wei Changting suspected that if the officials in the early negotiations hadn't held back, Xie Yan could have squeezed some more benefits out of the Gaoyu people.
Is this the legendary shamelessness?
If you are polite to them, they will look at you with their nostrils. Do you have to be slapped on the face a few times to know how to speak kindly?
Xie Yan put down his pen and said: "Gaoyu people have always been arrogant, but they are still willing to give in after being suppressed like this. Why do you think it is?"
"In order to form an alliance..." Wei Changting was stunned and suddenly realized, "Did you do it on purpose? Deliberately testing the reaction of Gaoyu people?"
After being reminded by Xie Yanyi, Wei Changting's thinking instantly broadened a lot.
"Before, we took the initiative to form an alliance with the Gaoyu people, and the Gaoyu people have always been somewhat dispensable. But now... the Gaoyu people actually value this alliance, so no matter how you force and suppress them, He Ruo
Muti was still willing to give in. Heruomuti lost King Guqi's daughter, but he was not very worried about the situation after returning. It can be seen that he also knew that as long as the alliance goes smoothly, even if King Guqi comes to trouble him after returning, Gao Yu
Wang and most of the people in Gaoyu will also side with him."
"There is also He Ruoqiuti. He and He Ruomuti have always been at odds with each other, but this time they are also on He Ruomuti's side. In addition to being sincere for the country, the more important thing is that he also knows Gao Yu in his heart.
The king attaches great importance to this alliance."
Xie Yan said calmly: "I said before that there is no need to rush to form an alliance with the Gaoyu people, they will beg us."
Wei Changting smiled helplessly, "You have this kind of confidence, but those old antiques in the court don't. Da Sheng has been fighting for many years, and it has long been exhausted. If the war drags on for another two years, those old guys might be able to wipe their necks directly in front of you.
.”
It was very hard for them at the border, but it was also not easy outside the border. After years of war, the people of Dasheng had already been unable to support themselves. If they did not rest and recuperate, I am afraid that Dasheng would not be conquered by foreigners, but would fall into chaos on its own.
It is precisely because of this truth that both Xie Yan and Luo Yun have tried their best in the past two years to achieve a quick victory.
Now the Qi people have been driven to the depths of the vast sea, and even the royal court has been forced to move westward. They finally have some breathing time. But behind them, the Qi people still own a large area of land in the Western Regions, and there is also an ambitious king and the hatred-filled Bai Jingrong.
, a comeback is a matter of time.
This is also the reason why Xie Yan agreed to form an alliance with Gao Yu. They needed Gao Yu to contain the Qi people from the north in a short period of time and give Dasheng enough time to recuperate.
Speaking of business, Wei Changting also looked solemn, "The Gaoyu people want to take the opportunity to invade the Qi tribe's territory?"
Everyone has ambitions. Compared with the previous rulers of the Central Plains who owned rich lands, the expansion ambitions and obsession of these nomadic peoples outside the customs are ten times and a hundred times greater.
Xie Yan said: "The ambitions of King Gaoyu and Heruomuti are no less than those of the Qi people."
Wei Changting frowned and said, "If the Gaoyu people annex the Qi people..."
Xie Yan said: "Although the Qi people are defeated, they are not really vulnerable. Let them bite dogs first. Dasheng... If we want to completely quell the foreign invasion, we need to rest for at least five years."
This is already a very conservative estimate. It will take at least 20 to 30 years for people's livelihood in Dasheng to be restored to the mid-to-late stage, not to mention the heyday of the previous dynasty.
However, in order to completely stabilize and develop people's livelihood, Dasheng's ambitious foreign troubles must be eliminated.
Therefore, Xie Yan's plan is to use three to five years to recuperate and deal with matters inside and outside the court.
Five years later...both the Qi tribe and the Gaoyu tribe will have to retreat to their original territories.
Wei Changting nodded and asked: "What about He Ruoya Shu? Get married...Who do you plan to let marry her?"
Xie Yan said indifferently: "Are you going to marry me?"
Wei Changting was startled, "I didn't offend you, did I?"
There seems to be something wrong with He Ruoyashu's brain. Who would marry a foreign woman with a brain problem?
But having said that, He Ruoyasu is also a noble girl from a high society, and a strong woman with high folk customs can also practice martial arts and hunt. How can such a person be scared crazy by a bloody head?
Wei Changting thought so and asked his doubts.
Xie Yan looked at him calmly, with deep eyes: "It seems that you really want to marry her."
Wei Changting immediately jumped up from his chair, "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. I won't ask, okay?"
Anyway, she is just an abandoned child who was abandoned by the people of Gaoyu. Except for her biological father who is thousands of miles away, who cares about how she went crazy?
Gaoyu people used to be very high-profile in Shangyong, but now they are very low-key.
The next day after the Gaoyu people left Shangyong, Shen Lingxiang was carried into the Regent's Palace on a small sedan.
On the second day after Shen Lingxiang got married, Mrs. Luo still returned to the Luo Mansion, but she became even more low-key. She hardly went anywhere except her own yard and Rongle Hall.
The fact that the most talented girl in Shangyong married Master Xuanyu as a concubine also caused quite a stir in Shangyong. Even the fact that Luo Junyao once admired Xie Chengyou was brought out and discussed by everyone.
However, because of the previous quarrel between Luo Junyao and Xie Chengyou and the regent's palace coming to apologize, most of the people's criticisms have now shifted to Xie Chengyou and Shen Lingxiang.
The scholars in the capital had nothing to do and were very interested in the gossips and anecdotes of these powerful families. Within two days, they even had their storybooks published.
These people speculated on the grievances and grievances between the three people in the past two years from various perspectives and angles, and for a while it was somewhat popular in major teahouses and restaurants.
Therefore, gossip and conspiracy theories are the eternal love of the general public. The situation in the court and the game between countries are all matters that the people above are concerned about.
Luo Junyao also had to admit that one or two books actually made up 80% of the truth.
The entire Luo family's reaction to this was quite dull, and Luo Junyao didn't care. When the original owner pursued Xie Chengyou with great fanfare, it was inevitable that he would be criticized.
After the Gaoyu people left, Luo Yun personally took Luo Jinyan and Luo Junyao to the Regent's Mansion.
It was not a small matter for Luo Jinyan to kill General Gao Yu, but Xie Yan suppressed the matter and did not make it public at all.
Since the two princes of Gao and Yu themselves said that Tuli died of illness, the people of Dasheng naturally could not make excuses for themselves by saying that he was killed. Therefore, the current official statement is that Tuli died of an acute illness.
If this were not the case, at least those censors would inevitably have to refer to Luo Jinyan's book.
In addition, Xie Yan also helped when Luo Junyao was assassinated, so Luo Yun naturally brought his children to the door to express his gratitude.
Having a normal relationship and not knowing etiquette are two different things.
"General, there is no need to be polite. These are the things I should do. Why should I say thank you?" Xie Yan said solemnly in the lobby of the Regent's Palace.
Luo Yun smiled and said: "I would like to say that I am young and energetic, so I would like to thank the prince for taking care of me."
Xie Yan glanced at Luo Jinyan, who was sitting next to him. He didn't see the eldest son of the Luo family looking young and energetic at all.
If he hadn't guessed, Luo Jinyan was going to kill someone from the beginning that day.
"Master Luo has unique vision and foresight. He is both wise and brave." Xie Yan said.
Compared with him, Wei Changting, who was known as the wise general of the Zhenguo Army, looked like a fool.
All of Wei Changting's talents in his life have probably been focused on the battlefield, and he is still very reliable in battles. Xie Yan also feels that he has nothing to complain about.
Luo Jinyan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary."
Xie Yan shook his head, "There should be no more wars at the border in the near future. Does the general intend to let the eldest son stay in Beijing temporarily?"
Xie Yan actually knew that Luo Yun was originally planning to let Luo Jinyan return to the border. But he felt that a talent like Luo Jinyan should not only know how to fight. Besides, there has been no war at the border in the past two years, so Luo Jinyan's visit would be a waste of time.
Luo Yun frowned slightly, he didn't expect Xie Yan to tell him this.
The Zhenguo Army and the Xuanjia Army have always refrained from interfering with each other.
Luo Yun didn't speak, and Xie Yan wasn't in a hurry.
Luo Junyao looked at his father and brother, then at Xie Yan who was sitting on the throne, but did not interrupt.
Although she talks a lot, she still knows when not to speak.
After a while, Luo Yun said: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Xie Yan said: "Young Master Luo's talent should not be buried. The Royal Forest Army and the Military Guard Army in Beijing have been in a state of disgrace these past few years. I am busy with affairs and have no time to take care of them. I hope someone can help me."
Luo Yun was stunned. He didn't expect that Xie Yan actually wanted Luo Jinyan to intervene in the Yulin Army and the Wuwei Army.
These two teams are soldiers and horses guarding the imperial city and the Gyeonggi region, but they are indeed a bit out of shape. This cannot be entirely blamed on the generals' malfeasance, but rather that a large number of resources have been diverted to the battlefield in recent years. The training of the Imperial Guards and the Guards will inevitably require
A little more relaxed.
However, Luo Jinyan is a major general of the Xuanjia Army and has a sensitive status. It may not be appropriate to join the Imperial Forest Army.
On the other hand, Xie Yan attacked the Wu Wei Army as soon as he came back, and they also helped out from time to time...
Xie Yan said: "The commander of the East Camp of the Wuwei Army was imprisoned by my king the day before yesterday. I can't find anyone to replace him at the moment. I wonder if Mr. Luo intends to take over for a while?"
There are 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the Wuwei Army, and the commander is a first-grade Weiwu General.
His subordinates are divided into four battalions: East, West, North and South, and the commanders of each battalion are all of the third grade.
Luo Jinyan is now a fourth-rank General Xuanwei. This rank is a bit low for both Luo Jinyan's status and his achievements.
Xie Yan knew that this was Luo Yun's deliberate attempt to suppress the rank of his two sons.
Promotions in the military must go to the top to ask for merit on his behalf. He has the right to make his own decisions for the ranks of the Xuanjia Army from Luo Yun on down, and he only needs to report them to the court for verification afterwards.
But if Luo Yun suppresses his son's achievements, others can't say anything. After all, he suppresses his son's achievements and does not take advantage of his merits for promotion. As long as Luo Jinyan and Luo Jinxing have no objections.
"Jinyan, what do you say?" Luo Yun looked at his eldest son.
Luo Jinyan pondered for a moment, then stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xie Yan knew that he had agreed, and nodded: "Very good, the East Camp will be handed over to General Luo. I hope to see a different military guard in one year."
