Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 786
Compared with the joy and encouragement of the people, Taicheng's reaction to Huainan's another major victory was much more flat.Of course, this does not mean that the Taifu princes are indifferent to this. In fact, Taicheng has always maintained a high degree of concern for Huainan, and its knowledge is much more detailed than that of the people.Even on the night when the Huainan Army launched the decisive battle in Wokou, many of the important ministers in Taiwan were anxious, sleepless nights, anxiously waiting for the result of the battle.

Although Taicheng did not directly send envoys, there are various forms of eyes and ears whether in Liang County or in Huainan at the front line. Once the real report of this battle is obtained, they will be rushed across the river .In the early morning, the Huainan army secured the victory, and almost in the evening, the news was received in Taicheng.And after nightfall, more detailed battle reports were sent back, and everyone in Tai City knew everything they should know.The people in the city didn't know about it until the market opened in the morning of the next day.

The Huainan Army defeated tens of thousands of slave troops and won the final victory of this battle!
Most of the ministers in the secret room heard the news, and their emotions fluctuated greatly for a while.Especially people like Wang Dao and Liu Chao who witnessed the decline of Jin Zuo and experienced the hasty journey to the south, couldn't help but weep with joy!

Of course, these high-ranking ministers in Taiwan have a much deeper understanding of the significance of this battle than ordinary people.To put it mildly, this battle declared the victory of Jiangdong in the current North-South War.On a bigger scale, after this battle, it will directly establish a general situation in which the south is strong and the north is weak in the future, and the homeland of the Central Plains is expected to be recovered!

However, since no official battle report letter has yet been sent to Taichung, even if the ministers already know about this matter, they can't be as happy as ordinary people, and express their inner excitement in a more restrained way. Affection.

For example, the prime minister Wang Dao, who was almost sleepless all night, was writing on the case all night.In the early morning, when the officials of the prime minister's mansion entered the room to take care of their daily life, there were thick piles of ink posts all over the floor, at least hundreds of copies.On the other hand, Prime Minister Wang's eyes were bloodshot, and the ink stains on the front of his clothes were unnoticed.

As for Shang Shuling Wen Qiao, he recited poems almost all night, especially the late Liu Sikong and Liu Kun, who wanted to make steel and turned it into soft fingers.Where there is emotion, there is no lack of choking, and all who hear it feel sad secretly.

The most notable one is Guanglu doctor Liu Chao, who has always abided by etiquette, is strict with himself, and rarely loses his temper.But last night, he actually drank in the office and got hangover, so he missed the morning meeting of the next day.

Yu Zhezhongshu, Pushe, Taichang, Shizhong, etc. were more or less sluggish during the morning meeting. It is conceivable that last night must have been a sleepless night, so that the next day, they were all unable to wake up. Come on spirit.

However, during the morning meeting on the second day, since no official letter had arrived in the capital, the ministers and officials present at the meeting, although they were all aware of it, did not discuss this matter in a very tacit understanding.It is true that this victory is gratifying, but since they are in high positions in Taiwan and the province, in addition to the excitement of their personal relationship, they also have to think about the long-term, how to welcome this big victory, and what will happen to the next situation. Adjustment.

Such a big victory was not easy to digest by itself. For a while, including Prime Minister Wang, they hadn't been able to sort out their thoughts clearly, so as to determine what kind of progress they could have based on this victory.Even Shen Ke, a direct descendant of the Shen family, could not be sure in a short period of time how amazingly this feat would benefit his family.There is no lack of chaos in each of them, so we simply maintain a tacit understanding and let's not talk about it for the time being.

But such a big event, even if it is not mentioned, it is absolutely difficult to pretend that it has not happened yet.Especially when the discussion was in the middle, the county government hurriedly came to report that the people in the city were almost overwhelmed with joy and excitement, and they were worried that accidents and riots would happen because of this, so they went to the stage to ask for instructions on how to deal with it.

In fact, there is no need for the county government to report. The thunderous cheers of the people in Duxia have already spread into Taicheng, and one can imagine what kind of jubilant scenes are everywhere in Duxia.

As a result, Yutan, the guard's mansion, withdrew from the meeting in the middle of the discussion, and returned to the office to summon the generals of the guards and dispatch the guards into the city to defend the key points.Especially the Danyang Princess Mansion located in Bird Clothes Lane, it is necessary to ensure that it will not be harassed too much by those happy people, lest a good thing turn into a bad thing.

With such an episode, the issue of the Huainan War must not be avoided in the next discussion.But at the moment, the assistants in Taifu are in a complicated mood, and it's really hard to discuss it in depth, so they simply ended the meeting.Anyway, even if we continue the discussion, no matter what the Huainan victory is compared to, it is nothing more than a trivial matter, which makes people not interested in participating in the discussion.

The officials are in their seats, but they still can't see anything.But after the show was over, several people followed Shaofu Qing Shen Ke and left without an appointment.This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, and it was inevitable that some people's hearts would gradually become hazy.

In the past period of time, Jiangbei has indeed been fighting fiercely, and the city of Tai is not just standing by and doing nothing.Although Huainan has self-financed resources, the towns of Xuzhou and Jingzhou still need to rely on the help of Taicheng to raise funds.In addition to this, the most important political issue in Taicheng recently is the withdrawal of East Yangzhou. The entire southeast region has very frequent personnel transfers.

Prior to this, Wei Chong, the Duke of Jiangxia, had gone south to Kuaiji to serve as the internal historian of Kuaiji, but to be honest, this appointment was more due to Wei's old admiration and Wei Chong was a candidate that both the North and the South could reluctantly accept.But when it comes to real political ability, Wei Chong can't be regarded as an indispensable candidate. After all, he has been doing idle work since he came from the south, and he has never had the experience of governing a large county.

Those who governed Kuaiji in the early days, such as Zhuge Hui, were well-known in addition to their political talents, and they were able to manage the great county of Kuaiji in an orderly manner.The Kuaiji that Wei Chong took over was a stand left by Shen Chong after several years of domination.As for whether Wei Chongnan will be able to take up the post and successfully solve some of the problems left by Shen Chong, and will bring Jiji back to the embrace of the Taicheng Center, Taiwan is not optimistic about this.So what kind of subordinate officials to send to Wei Chong, there has been a lot of discussion in Taiwan recently.

Xie Shang originally served as Qiantang Commander, but was also called back to Taiwan to serve as the Minister of the Yellow Gate during this round of adjustments.Although the experience in the place was not long, the temperament of the whole person has undergone significant changes.Originally, he was famous for his elegance and beauty, and he also had a father with a very high reputation. His reputation in the capital was not inferior to that of Wang Ge's family members, and he was recognized as a first-class talent of the younger generation.

But it turned out that when he was in the capital, besides being elegant, he was too mysterious, and there was no lack of rash behavior, superficial.After returning to the capital this time, it is obvious that the whole person has become calmer, and he is no longer as keen on criticizing and discussing as before. He has made obvious progress in dealing with people and dealing with things.

The servant of Huangmen is a close servant, and now the emperor has not personally recruited, so he doesn't even have much work to be announced by the imperial edict.So after returning to the capital, Xie Shang was completely free, just sitting in the office every day, and there was almost nothing to do except reading some laws and regulations to pass the time.

Xie Shang was not surprised by the cold treatment. This kind of thing had already been foreseen when his uncle Xie Po was appointed as the prefect of Wu Xing.Especially after returning to the capital, it is more obvious that there are many contradictions in Taiwan.This is no longer something he can participate in at this level, so he simply abides by his duties and does not make any efforts to reverse the situation.

On this day, just as Xie Shang returned to the office, he heard the news of his son-in-law's great victory in Huainan. Xie Shang was also very happy for a while, not only because his situation might usher in a turning point, but also because all people from Jiangdong, Facing such an astonishing good news, how can we take it lightly!
Not long after, someone from outside the office reported that Yuan Dan was invited.

After Xie Shang heard the news, he couldn't help frowning slightly, subconsciously thinking about why Yuan Dan invited him at this moment.Not only did he have a deep friendship with Yuan Dan, but he was also related by marriage, and his wife was Yuan Dan's younger sister.Both of them are the younger generation who have a good reputation, and there are many similar situations.

However, this friendship cast a shadow when his family chose to approach Shen.Since the Su Jun Rebellion, Yuan Dan has been serving as Prime Minister Wang.The contradiction in position falls on personal friendship, and it is inevitable to be awkward when meeting each other, so they gradually become estranged.This time Xie Shang returned to the capital for a long time, and he has never seen Yuan Dan.When you receive an invitation at this time, you will inevitably have some curiosity.

After a little thought, he still decided to meet Yuan Dan.After all, it would be a pity if good friends who have been good friends for many years no longer communicate with each other.

The meeting place agreed by Yuan Dan was still outside Taicheng City, Xie Shangben had nothing to do, and whether he was in the Taicheng Office or not, there was little attention from people, it was almost transparent, so he simply asked the official for a day off, and then left Taicheng .

As soon as he left the Qingming Gate of Taicheng, Xie Shang was infected by the jubilant atmosphere in the city, and his whole mood became cheerful. Sitting on the bullock cart, his hands were restlessly dancing on his knees. It was a pity that he did not Musical instruments stand by.

In the vicinity of Qingxi in the east of the city, there are many joyful crowds running around in the streets and alleys, and there are joyful songs everywhere beside the water.It has been a long time since the city has been so lively. In such an environment, Xie Shang couldn't help feeling a little regretful that he couldn't cross the river with his son-in-law. After all, he was separated from this joy.Although he did his best to raise supplies for Huainan in Qiantang, it was not a formal channel after all, and it was difficult to boast in the open.

"After this time, the younger brother will step ahead of the elder brother!"

The victory in Huainan this time is of much greater significance than the previous Su Jun rebellion. His cousin Xie Yi has always followed his son-in-law to fight fiercely at the forefront. The morals of the world have greatly praised him, and his reputation will far surpass his elder brother.However, Xie Shang didn't feel too disappointed about this. With the vigor of a son-in-law, he can imagine that this battle is by no means the end of Jiangbei's affairs, and there will be greater progress in the future. And why worry about being useless!
　It's been a long time since I updated it so early, and I finally have time to breathe a sigh of relief. . .
