The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 613 Is it a Marriage or a Marriage?

Since the news of the defeat of the Mogu people had not yet reached the imperial capital, the dignitaries and common people in the imperial capital had a happy Spring Festival.

Especially those officials, through different channels, learned that the imperial court will join hands with the Mogu people to deal with Jia Min and Chang'an, and the expectation that the war will end soon arose in their hearts.

Naturally, this kind of expectation is that the court of Tianshun will win, and Jia Min's rebellion will fail.

People have this kind of heart, not because they think the court is so good, nor because Jia Min is so bad.This is just a judgment based on self-interest.

They belong to the vested interests of the existing court. If Jia Min overthrows the court, their fate will fall into great uncertainty.

Due to strict secrecy, the matter of granting kings to the Mogu people is still unknown to the outside world.If they knew that the court had reached such a condition with the Mogu people, how would they feel?

The beginning of spring this year is relatively late, and the beginning of spring is only on the eighth day of the first month.

After the beginning of spring, there will be several warm days in a row, and the little snow left in winter will all melt.

As the snow melts, the ground covered in winter is gradually exposed.

As the ground surfaced, there was also news about the Mogu people, the Restoration Army, and the Beihai Volunteer Army.

An army of 20 Mogu people fought against Jia Min's 4 people on the Mogu grassland. In the end, Jia Min killed nearly 17 people, and Jia Min won a complete victory.

The news first came from Sheng Jing.

Because it is too unimaginable and beyond common sense, people don't believe it.I think this is Jia Min and the Chang'an rebels boasting.

However, more and more news came from different channels.

On the night of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, many notices appeared overnight, and the same news was written on them.

In the end, what convinced people was the news from their relatives and friends from Shengjing and Mogu Grassland.

At this time, people believe that this is true.

The imperial court got the news earlier.On the fifth day of the first lunar month, I received a note from Shanhaiguan.Later, Mogu's channel also proved the authenticity of this news.

However, the court suppressed the news.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the emperor Han Tiandou even went out of the palace in person to show up at the temple fair to show that he had fun with the people and the world was peaceful.

Although the days of panic were difficult, they passed day by day.In a blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is ushered in.

At night, there are lights outside the city.That is people sending lights to the cemetery.

It is said that relatives who died on this day will go home and send lights to illuminate the way home for ghosts.

Because many people wanted to go out to deliver lanterns at night, the gates of the city were not closed.However, the number of yamen servants in Wucheng Bingmasi, Jinyijun and Shuntian Mansion has increased a lot.

There are also some troops stationed outside the city.

Although people didn't say it, they all knew in their hearts that they were afraid that Jia Min and Princess Chang'an from the previous dynasty would call.

The news of the defeat of the Mogu people, coupled with the news that the south has been almost completely occupied by Jia Min, made people realize that it seems that they are going to change the dynasty again.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, when the people of the imperial capital got up, they found many notices in the streets and alleys.

It is written on the back that the imperial court colluded with the Mogu people to make the great chief of the Mogu people, Atai, king, and cede the land north of the Great Wall to the Mogu people.

Although the notice was quickly removed by Jinyi Army, Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntianfu Yamen, the news quickly spread throughout the city.

In an instant, the entire imperial capital was full of discussions.People gathered in twos and threes to discuss the authenticity of this matter.

It is not only the common people who are discussing this matter, but also the emperor and the court ministers.

At this moment, the emperor is in the Hall of Martial Arts, discussing this matter with a group of ministers.

The princes and ministers who came included Li Guozhong, King of Xining, Song Kuan, son of Dongping Prince, General Han Tiankui of Ningguta, Gao Wangshan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Luo Qihua, a scholar of the Military Aircraft Department, Sun Tongren, the commander of Jinyi Army, and Yin Jiayucun of Shuntian Prefecture.

Several other bachelors, after leaving the court, went to busy with other urgent affairs, so they did not participate.

"Loves, just now at the court, there was no result discussed. Some things are not easy to talk about at the court. Now there is no one else here. You are all ministers of the humerus. Let's talk about what to do." ? The Mogu people are defeated, how to deal with Jia Min now?"

Han Tiandou's mind was in a mess, especially those announcements last night, which made him particularly annoyed.

Although the ministers didn't mention the fact that Lietu made the king, he also knew that nine out of ten ministers believed that it was true.

Han Tiandou glanced around, but no one spoke.

"Sun Tongren, as the commander of the Jinyi Army and the admiral of the Nine Gates, the Jinyi Army and the Five Cities are under your jurisdiction. There have been so many rumor-making announcements in the imperial capital overnight. What do your people do?"

As soon as Sun Tongren saw that the emperor mentioned him, he knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly knelt down.

"The emperor forgives the crime, and the minister deserves death. The minister was negligent, but this matter really has nothing to do with the minister. The night inspections and watchdogs are all done by the Shuntian Mansion."

"Sun Tongren, don't try to shirk. The gate of the city has always been guarded by soldiers and horses from the five cities, and the Shuntian Mansion has never intervened. Those spies don't come in through the gate, but also fly in from the sky?"

Jia Yucun also hurriedly knelt down and shirked responsibility.

"Okay, stop arguing, and get up. It's not surprising that people come in and out of the city gate every day. It's not surprising that a few secret agents get mixed in. The most urgent thing now is how to deal with Jia Min."

Han Tiandou waved his hands impatiently, and Sun Tongren and Jia Yuanchun got up and stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Xining Wang Li Guozhong came out to speak.

"The king of Xining has something to say, just say it."

"I believe that Huairou should be the main way to deal with Jia Min now."

"Huairou? How to be Huairou?"

"Recruitment."

"How to recruit?"

"Give him a high official and generous salary."

"Now that he has defeated the Mogu people, and the south has fallen into the hands of Chen Yejun and Feng Ziying, what kind of officials should he be given so that he can agree to recruit?"

"The Jia family is the Duke of Rongguo and Duke of Ningguo in the previous dynasty. It is better to restore the titles of the two Dukes of the Jia family, and then give Jia Min and his senior officials generous salary. As for Jia Min, you can give him the position of Minister. "

"Then how will Chang'an deal with it?"

"Zhao Wuji, the former deposed emperor, has betrothed Chang'an to Jia Min. You might as well give her a first-rank imperial order, that's all."

"My love, what do you think?"

"The minister seconded the proposal, what the king of Xining said is very true."

Luo Qihua, who had been silent all this time, expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

This time it was Gao Wangshan, Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Noble book talk."

"I think that King Xining's plan is feasible, but Jia Min may not agree to this condition."

"He still doesn't agree, and thinks the official is too small? Does he have to sit in my seat to be satisfied?"

Han Tiandou stood up, then came to his senses and sat down.

"Gao Shangshu, get up. Nephew Song, you are always resourceful, what's your idea?"

"Back to the emperor, I have the same opinion as Gao Shangshu. I also think that Jia Min will not agree to Zhao'an."

"In your opinion, what official do you want to give him, will he agree?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking out boldly, no matter what officials are given to him, he will never agree."

Song Kuan's words were a bit of a spoiler.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Luo Qihua seemed to regain his spirits.

"Scholar Luo speaks."

"The emperor can give Jia Min a marriage and recruit Jia Min as his son-in-law. This can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It can break up the alliance between Jia Min and Chang'an, and also keep Jia Min in his pocket."

"Luo Qihua, my princess, how could she bestow it on a traitor? It's thanks to you for thinking of such a foolish plan."

"The minister deserves to die for his crimes, please forgive the emperor."

Luo Qihua stepped back and didn't say anything anymore.

The action just now was a risky move after he observed his words and feelings.

He had already calculated that the emperor would not agree, that's why he said this.Although this move will make the emperor unhappy, it can give people the impression that he is really thinking about Tianshun Jiangshan.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan. I don't know what to say?"

"Shuntian Mansion, tell me."

"Now that Jia Min is the king of Beihai, it is better to make Jia Min a vassal king, and let him become a vassal like Koryo, Cochin, and Siam, and pay tribute to him. This is one of them."

"What about the second?"

"Secondly, we can also designate Jia Min as the county king. When the time comes, Beihai will be included in our Tianshun territory. If this plan succeeds, the Celestial Dynasty will add a large piece of territory out of thin air. When necessary, in the royal Among the close branches, randomly choose a woman and give it to Jia Min as his wife. If it is the former, it is a marriage. If it is the latter, it is a marriage. In this way, I think Jia Min will be willing."

"There is some truth to this plan, but it is too cheap for Jia Min to turn against the thief. What do you think, my loves?"

Song Kuan saw that these people were still delusional at this time, thinking that if they gave Jia Min a little sweetness, Jia Min would be obedient.My heart can't help but sink.

Now that the south has been lost, and the Mogu people have been defeated by Jia Min, who else in the world is Jia Min's opponent?As long as he conquers the imperial capital, he can become the emperor himself. Do you want any title?What kind of woman do you want?
He may not be willing to betroth the princess to her, so why not just find a close relative?
What's even more ridiculous is that he can't even keep his own country, and he still thinks about including Beihai into his territory.

Why are you?
What kind of person is Jia Min, how could he be fooled by this?It's all this time, and it's still so whimsical.Are you guys stupid, or do you have ulterior motives?

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. I think that Mr. Jia's words are purely whimsical. At this time, no matter how gentle you are with Jia Min, it is useless. The only option is to fight him to the death."

Song Kuan bluntly expressed his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I think nephew Song Xian is right. There is only one battle with Jia Min. The so-called soft tactics are completely useless."

General Ningguta Han Tiankui had been sleeping with his eyes closed until now, and he came out to support Song Kuan.

As for how to deal with Jia Min, in the past two days, he has thought about it countless times, and discussed it with his master and some close people.

Those people also proposed various plans, and they have already thought of what the people present today can think of.

The final conclusion is the same as Song Kuan's, only one battle.
