Dao fruit.

The Eastern Capital is as prosperous as ever.

When Qiu Yan arrived in the Eastern Capital this time, the courtesy he received was completely different from before. Officials from staying behind, and princes from King Yan onwards, all went out of the city to greet them.

The people chatted outside the city for a while, and when they entered the city, they went straight to the official mansion and talked with the guard.

It stands to reason that this Eastern Capital is the Liudu and the Accompanying Capital, with a set of official positions, many of whom are high-ranking and powerful, but most of them have no real power and cannot be in charge of civil affairs, so the power is actually in the hands of the governor. In charge of government affairs, but later there were wars on the eastern and northern fronts, and the movement of soldiers and horses involved military power and logistical supplies, which required constant coordination. One came and went, and the Eastern Capital, located between the two, became a unified In the place of coordination, a left-behind was added.

The name of staying behind takes the meaning of "staying and stationing". It can be involved in military affairs and has great powers, but it can be regarded as a temporary setting. It's just that there are many examples of temporary positions becoming standard in Darui and previous dynasties, such as the state of Dayan The governors of Mu and Daqi, and even the observers of this dynasty are all examples.

There is also a meaning of flexibility in this. Because it involves the ancestral system, it is not easy to change it, and it will inevitably involve interests. It is a more moderate approach to use one team to directly replace and cover another team. It is easy to make the official position bloated, so it is also criticized.

Now, the left-behind post was created because of the war, and now the four sides are settled, it seems that at least He Qinghaiyan is, but the political affairs hall and the court seem to have forgotten this temporary increase, so the left-behind Wang Xian is just like this stayed.

"Wang Liushou, you lead people to welcome you today. I will keep it in mind. It is just a matter of urgency, and government affairs are more important, so I will not greet you. Let's get straight to the point, the people from Zhizhou that day. But they are all here?"

When they got to the back hall of the official mansion, all the others left, only a few officials with real power in the eastern capital were left. Qiu Yan didn't hesitate and asked directly.

Wang Xian, who stayed behind, knew Qiu Yan's style very well. When he was in the capital, he had the opportunity to work with Qiu Yan. inside."

Qiu Yan said: "Very well, let's arrange it. I will meet with their people today and give an overview of the matter."

"See you today? Are you in a hurry?" Wang Xian was very surprised when he heard this. Qiu Yan, a high official of the court, is now even the real helm of the government. Non-stop to see the people in Zhizhou that day.No matter how you look at it, you are too anxious, and you don't seem to be calm enough. In this way, it is easy to be perceived as lacking in momentum.

But Qiu Yan didn't seem to think of this.It was just arranged by Wang Xian, but the final result was that those people from Tianzhizhou were unwilling to meet immediately, saying that they were not ready yet.Let Qiu Yan wait for a few more days.

As soon as the news came out, the whole government started from Wang Xian.Everyone was angry.

Wang Xian couldn't help but said to Qiu Yan: "Zhizhou was worthy of being an evil spirit from outside the sky that day. You didn't understand the etiquette. You came all the way to Dingguo. It's just arrogant and rude to be so big!"

In the end, Qiu Yan laughed: "A person who is really confident will not build his majesty on an empty shelf. Tian Zhizhou's performance these days just shows that he is fierce and indifferent. Qiu said before that he wanted to see them. I just want to see their reaction. Now it seems that they want to put on airs first, test me, and then take advantage of the situation. If they are really powerful, why use the situation? Besides, they are even going to start peace talks , getting the general direction right, but fussing over the details, this is not the appearance of a major event, and the person who will host the peace talks this time seems to be unqualified."

"You mean...?" Wang Xian's heart moved.

"Let them send another person over. The bluffing person may think of some unrealistic things during the real peace talks. Not to mention, this kind of person may not realize the crisis of the situation and delay the opportunity for war. "

Saying this, Qiu Yan had already walked out of the hall.

"You don't need to tell me about these people. When the new person in charge arrives, let me know." Qiu Yan said, and walked away without looking back.

Looking at the retreating figure, Wang Xian and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally the Fu Cheng couldn't help but said, "It's the Marquis of Dingguo, why haven't you seen such a big storm? How dare the evil spirits put on airs in front of him that day, I really don't know what is serious .”

But another official became worried and said: "Although that is the case, if you directly inform them of Ding Guohou's decision, this thing will cause trouble and affect the relationship between the two sides..."

But Wang Xian waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to worry too much. Why did the demons of Zhizhou refuse directly when I was about to visit Daruiding? Didn't they think that it would affect the relationship between the two sides? Besides Yes, Ding Guohou also made it very clear, now they are asking us, not us asking them, this primary and secondary relationship is not clear, what are they talking about? Zhang Gu, don't look at their tricks It's exquisite, it's captured your mind, let's keep this waist straight!"

After finishing speaking, he flung his sleeves and left. Naturally, someone will arrange to notify the Tianzhi people in the station.

Looking at the back of the left guard, some officials murmured in their hearts: "Why is Wang Xian so hard-spoken all of a sudden? Didn't he compromise everywhere in the past, and make peace with each other?"

But after thinking about it, I understood again: "That's right, with the support of the Marquis of Dingguo here, it's normal for his waist to be a bit stiff. After all, the Marquis of Dingguo was fighting everywhere, no matter whether it was from the four sides or from the aristocratic family in this country. It was his opponent, Tian Zhizhou, who was also defeated by Hou Dingguo's scheme, together with the new army he trained. You have some advantages, but facing our Ding Guohou, what is there to be arrogant? It's just a defeat!"

Thinking about it this way, the thoughts flowed smoothly, and everyone's spirits and spirits also quickly improved.

Two officials in charge of this matter looked at each other, both took a breath, and said with a smile: "It seems that we don't need to continue to be angry, so let's go over and make it clear, and the province still treats itself as the uncle Woolen cloth!"

………………

The post station in the west of the city has three floors in the fifth courtyard, and the second floor is well-furnished. At this time, several people in black clothes are talking among them, their expressions are quite dignified, and their words are full of uncertainty. .

"Military division, according to what you said, I have rejected the visit of the Duke of Ding. Is it easy to deal with the rest of the matter?"

The man known as the military adviser was also dressed in black clothes, but his expression was different from other people. Hearing this, he said, "Don't worry about Mo people. This is also within my expectation. Now the imperial court The momentum is strong, but my will is weak, so I asked the imperial court to send troops to assist our army to open up the situation in Zhutuolan. If you don't suppress the momentum and momentum of the opponent first, then you will be completely controlled, let alone put forward conditions. I'm afraid it will become a foil for the other party."

"So that's how it is." Among the crowd, there was a man with a calm demeanor who nodded upon hearing the words, "I'm here for peace talks, but don't bow your head. We must find a way to get this Darui court to send troops for us. Well, there are still some benefits."

The military adviser praised: "What the Mohist said is very true. In fact, the entire court doesn't know much about Tianzhizhou. The more this is the case, the more we can use it. Maybe it is still a disadvantage, but it can be blackmailed for additional benefits."

After he finished speaking, some people became worried: "But Zhutuolan's side is now losing ground, and it's almost unbearable. It really can't afford it."

"The more this is the case, the more you have to hold your breath," the military adviser glanced over, "You know, the more anxious I am in the current situation, the less confidence and bargaining chips I have, and I can only let the opponent slaughter me. Wonderful situation."

The Mohist nodded and said: "That's right, at this time, you can't let go of the benefits. The Darui court itself intends to join forces with us. After all, this is their Buzhou. I will retreat directly when it is really difficult to support." Forget it, at most they will lose troops, but their situation is different, there is no place to hide, so we don't have to worry..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Although this eastern capital is not the capital city, but after several years of blessing, there is also the accompanying capital palace, which also suppresses dragon energy and suppresses extraordinary power. Many Mohist institutions in Tianzhizhou are actually related to supernatural powers. The exploration of the outside world is somewhat limited.

Outside the door, a voice came: "Those who turn the fine ink, the two officials before Darui came again, saying that they brought the order from the Marquis of Dingguo."

"Order?" the Mohist sneered, "This Marquis Dingguo really thinks he is someone, and he dared to give us an order, forget it, let someone come over, I want to hear how they answered. "

As he said that, he exchanged a glance with the military adviser, showing a tacit expression, thinking that the other party had responded to his previous actions, and the next step was to bargain.

"Originally, I led this group of people here to ask for help, but if I can get benefits on top of asking for help, I will be valued a lot immediately." The ink-turner had his own plans, "I Among the Mohists, they are not outstanding, but those Houjia, Guanyan and others have also suffered losses in the hands of the prince of Daruiding, if I took advantage, it would be a stark contrast..."

Thinking of this, he was still thinking about whether to continue to persecute him later, or to take advantage of the trend to reduce the demands, so as to prevent the talks from collapsing.

"The degree of tightness must be properly grasped, otherwise it may be self-defeating."

With this in mind, when he saw the two Darui officials again, he was still sitting on the chair calmly, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking slowly, letting them wait, then put down the cup, and said calmly: "Didn't I tell you that when I first came to the Eastern Capital, I was not acclimatized to the environment, and I needed to rest and recuperate before I could see the Marquis of Dingguo, otherwise, if I was rude, it would be disrespect."
