Yi Die was left by Han Jianqiang's side, and since he said these words in front of Yang Rui, he couldn't take them back. Even if Yang Rui has any complaints in his heart, he also knows Han Jian's temper, both of them are a little stubborn in dealing with the world, in the past, Han Jian could only obey orders, but now the situation is different, although Yang Rui is still the emperor, but the military and political power basically falls into the hands of Han Jian.

After that, things were very simple, Yi Die came in again, but Yang Rui let her go back without explaining anything, Yi Die left with some doubts in her heart, and Han Jian almost left the palace with her front and back.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East, I don't know what His Majesty wants to send his subordinates to do?" Yi Die deliberately slowed down along the way, and waited for Han Jian to follow before asking.

"Just do the things that this king has given you, and you don't have to pay attention to the rest." Han Jian said another cold word. Yi Die didn't hesitate, and only after Han Jian passed over did she follow her out of the palace together.

Beginning in mid-to-late September, the soldiers of the Guanzhong campaign returned to Luoyang one after another, and most of these soldiers and horses were recruited from the vicinity of Luoyang, while the soldiers and horses who were really recruited from Jiangdu were still guarding Guanzhong to deal with the pacification of the rebellion. After the end of the autumn harvest in Jiangdu, another batch of rotating soldiers and horses came from Jiangdu to Luoyang. Han Jian was ready to transfer this batch of soldiers and horses to Guanzhong, and then disband a batch of soldiers and horses from the Guanzhong Western Palace, so as to achieve the balance of the garrison in Guanzhong.

Because of some divisions of interests and powers, as well as internal disagreement on the southern conquest of the Wei Dynasty, although there were soldiers and horses hoarded on the grassland, they did not have the intention of going south to conquer for a long time. Taking advantage of his spare time, Lin Zhan has completed the deployment of the first line of Beiguan, with the support of the soldiers and horses of the original Su Tingxia, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Guandong Wangfu can also be said to be strong and strong, but they are still a little lacking in grain and grass, and they also need to complete part of the supply on their own. The Bohai nationals who moved from within were also assigned to some county capitals in Beichuan to help the local government restore production. Unlike what Han Jian and Yang Rui had agreed before, Han Jian gave these Bohai citizens enough autonomy to do so, without breaking up their original clan structure and allowing them to form their own villages, and even their personal safety was guaranteed.

Although Han Jian's attitude and instructions to the front line were like this, and the imperial court also issued a decree that these Bohai citizens were equal to the people of the Wei Dynasty. However, after more than 100,000 Bohai nationals moved and settled down, they were still looted and harassed by different Cheng dù. Especially the men and horses of Su Tingxia's subordinates, who were originally under Su Tingxia, completely regarded themselves as soldiers of the Heavenly Empire, as if they had a qiē over the defeated country. In the past, in order to let his people serve him loyally, Su Tingxia turned a blind eye to his subordinates and even rape and plunder, and the Bohai people themselves were confiscated weapons, and they moved to the Central Plains to be unfamiliar with the place, and there was no way to resist in the face of the looting of the soldiers.

The magistrate didn't dare to ask about the affairs of the army at all, and Lin Zhan had no time to pay attention to it on the front line of Beiguan. So that there was an accident in the locality, and the matter could only be reported to Luoyang to wait for the opinions of Han Jian and Yang Rui to deal with it, and the incident happened for many days, and there were still looting and nuisances in the locality, which was not only reflected in the Bohai people, but even some of the remaining Beichuan people, some of whom had just moved back to their homeland, were still not regarded as the citizens of the Wei Dynasty.

Yang Rui after a short period of recuperation. Her body basically recovered, and Yang Xi couldn't come out to help her share her worries. And there is always a taste of the Cold War between her and Han Jian, so she wants to ask about the court affairs earlier. The rebellion in Guanzhong and the looting of the people by soldiers in the north were also opportunities for her to restore the dynasty. For several days, Yang Rui summoned the minister to Ye'an Pavilion to talk and discuss the handling plan for the two things.

Han Jian basically did not attend.

It's not that Han Jian doesn't care about this matter, it's that Han Jian doesn't want to appear in front of Yang Rui too much. First, Yang Rui intends to restore the dynasty, so that the world knows that she, the empress, can also take care of the government in addition to giving birth to children, and at this time, Han Jian's entry into the palace will put more pressure on Yang Rui, and it will also bring gossip from the outside. Before Yang Rui discussed detailed countermeasures with the courtiers, Han Jian had already made a move in advance. The Guanzhong side has asked Han Cui's and Han Zhao's to step up the suppression of the rebellion, focusing on appeasement, and giving special preferential treatment to the generals and magistrates who surrendered and rebelled, and also gave preferential treatment to their subordinates, basically surrendering without killing and reinstating officials. At first, this made the rebels very arrogant, thinking that it was the weakness of the imperial court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion that would give such concessions, but after the confrontation, they realized that even Han Cui, who was a female streamer, could lead the soldiers well, so they became jealous. In the next few small encounters, Han Zhao's clan took the main force of 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard and successively recovered several rebellious county towns, while the rebels retreated all the way to the northwest and did not dare to make any more moves.

At this time, behind the rebels was the old land of Xiliang that Mrs. Luo and Li Yunchao had been thinking about.

There are not many people and horses left in Guanzhong in the East Wangfu, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdu as the main force, and there are more than 20,000 people and horses in the original Su Tingxia Department, plus more than 20,000 people and horses in the West Wangfu who have not yet been disbanded, a total of 50,000 horses and horses left in Guanzhong. But among the 50,000 horses, more than half of them were stationed in the main counties of Guanzhong as garrisons, and Han Cui's could really mobilize only 10,000 or 20,000 people to quell the rebellion, and the rebels were only a few hundred at the beginning, but after recruiting troops and winning the support of some old departments of the Western Palace, the men and horses quickly expanded to more than 10,000 people, but compared with the sharpness of the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Court and the Eastern Palace, the rebels were more mixed, so they were repeatedly defeated in the battle.

Han Jian knew very well that although the current war in Guanzhong did not have much turbulence, and the war ended in victory, the rise of the rebels often only needed one victory. Many people in Guanzhong still have a deep-rooted righteousness towards the Xiwangfu, and the rebels launched the son of Yang Pingju, the ancient king of the West, as the leader, and it is also under the banner of the restoration of the Xiwangfu, which is still quite prestigious among the ordinary people. But after all, Guanzhong was not completely subordinate to the Western Palace, and in the central and southern regions of Guanzhong, the people mostly trusted the imperial court. At this time, the rebels retreated to the northwest of Guanzhong, which was also the backyard of the forces of the Western Wangfu, and it was not easy to really clear it.

As for the looting of the rebels in the north, Han Jian felt that he could not suppress it after careful consideration. Some officers and men were accustomed to the bad habits of Su Tingxia, who had always only believed in looting and using war to feed war, but after arriving in the localities, they still had bad habits that could not be changed, causing disasters to the localities. However, these soldiers and horses themselves are still quite combative, and if the punishment is not good, if there is a mutiny in the local area, it will be a fire in the backyard. Guanzhong has already learned from the past, if the local pacification is not good, there will be rebellion. At this time, it can only be based on grooming.

Han Jian asked the local government and garrison officers and soldiers to post a list in the name of the imperial court, strictly ordering that they should not loot, and if they looted again, they would all be regarded as bandits. This can be regarded as nominally characterizing the plunder, and the people themselves also have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the local Bohai immigrants also made adjustments to welcome each other after moving to Beichuan Prefecture. It has the meaning of establishing its own villages and isolating them from the outside world, and some places have even begun to secretly contact each other, intending to move north back to the territory of the Bohai Sea.

Han Jian wrote to the imperial court twice, and it was also when Yang Rui and the courtiers discussed countermeasures, Han Jian appeared as a courtier, stating his attitude, Han Jian first asked for guilt, and then asked the court to send a pacification envoy to the local area to appease the people, which can be regarded as giving Yang Rui enough face. Yang Rui was also "satisfied" after getting Han Jian's book. Even asked the eunuch to read out the contents of Han Jian's letter in front of the courtiers, although these officials also knew that Han Jian's attitude was only superficial, but no matter what, even Han Jian, the king of the east, recognized Yang Rui's identity as emperor, so they naturally did not dare to criticize.

According to Han Jian's intentions, Yang Rui sent Lin Ke, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, as a pacification envoy, and transferred some money and grain from the treasury to the north to help and pacify the place. However, it is secretly necessary to rectify the internal migration of the people of the Bohai State, and not to make their contacts too close.

Although Lin Ke's position as the first assistant was withdrawn by Yang Rui. But Yang Rui still trusts Lin Ke, after all, Lin Ke is also a representative of the royalists. Yang Rui removed him at the beginning in order not to make the relationship between the imperial court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion too rigid. At this time, Yang Rui sent Lin Ke to intend to let Lin Ke have more contact with the local gentry and officials, conveying the intention of pacifying the local government in the name of the imperial court, and at the same time allowing the local officials and gentry to maintain contact with the imperial court.

It is not so much that Yang Rui sent Lin Ke to settle the people, but that Yang Rui sent Lin Ke to buy people's hearts, and it was not the people's hearts that were bought. It was the hearts and minds of the magistrates and the gentry and the big landowners that allowed the court to maintain its influence over the local area. Han Jian naturally understood what Yang Rui meant, but he still pretended not to know. The biggest contradiction between him and Yang Rui still comes from the struggle for power, and now the military and political power is in his hands, even if Yang Rui wants to regain the power that originally belonged to her in a subtle way. Han Jian also took it all to give her face and let her find something to do, but as long as he was on guard, no matter how much Yang Rui did, it would be useless.

In mid-October, Mrs. Luo and Li Yun sent by Han Jian reported one after another, Han Jian sent their people to secretly investigate the situation of the old department of the Xiwang Mansion, and at the same time had the intention of surveillance, Li Yun spared no effort to do things, and with the support of some people in the old department of Xiliang, she knew that as long as she helped the Dongwang Mansion do a good job, she would be appreciated by Han Jian, and she would naturally become the best candidate for the king of Xiliang if she could do things and had connections. Mrs. Luo seemed to be a little procrastinating in her work, firstly because she was short of manpower, and secondly, she was not here at all. Mrs. Luo also knew that she was not as good as before, and the people in Xiliang's old department completely regarded her as a traitor and parted ways with her, even if she cooperated with Li Yun, they would not throw an olive branch to her. Mrs. Luo knew that she was inferior to Li Yun in terms of both work and connections, and instead of competing with Li Yun head-on, it was better to come to some "crooked ways". Mrs. Luo has reused women from the beginning, and she still has not changed this habit after the big and small Xiliu, and the people she uses are basically women of the Han people in the Central Plains, just giving them a false identity of Xiliang people and letting them serve them. Mrs. Luo knew very well the use of beauty for power, and when Li Yun was still busy investigating the intelligence of the generals of Xiliang's old department on the front line, Mrs. Luo had quietly returned to Luoyang, preparing to implement her next plan.

……

……

On the sixth night of the first month of October, in the palace of King Hui in Jinling City, Xiao Ling, who had just returned from the Jinling Palace, entered the house, and he was still a little drunk and hazy.

The day is the eldest princess Xiao Zhan's official enthronement celebration ceremony, during the day is the ceremony of worshiping the sky and telling the people, to the evening in the palace banquet, as the first meritorious minister to support Xiao Zhan as the emperor, Xiao Ling is naturally complacent, from a happy idle king, to now in charge of the Qi Dynasty government ministers, although he is not used to the feeling of power, but he also has a bit of ambition, feeling more comfortable than being an idle king.

At the palace banquet, no one was courteous to Xiao Ling, the Qi Dynasty in recent generations were all powerful ministers, and the internal party was strict, and there were also martial arts chaos in the country, and whoever gained power favored the courtiers. Although Xiao Ling is now in charge of the government, no one dares to say whether Xiao Ling is the next Fu Siqi or Xie Rumo, but at the moment, everyone thinks that Xiao Ling is the first to look forward, and the compliments are also about Xiao Ling's soft ears.

Xiao Ling returned to King Hui's mansion in the dead of night, got off the sedan chair, he walked and staggered into the door of the mansion, there was a person standing in front of him, drunk and hazy, he thought it was the maid who came to help, with a smile on his face, and wanted to step forward to hug him and let him help him in, so that he could take advantage of the wine to have a good time, but he didn't expect to get closer and see that it was Sima Yi, who had been working outside recently.

"Brother Sima?" Xiao Ling rubbed her eyes and said, "Didn't you just write yesterday saying that it would take half a month to reply?" What ......?"

Sima bowed respectfully and said, "Today is the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty, so I left for my hometown earlier." ”

Xiao Ling showed a smile of "but so" on his face, as if he knew very well the reason for Sima's return, and said with a smile: "Brother Sima didn't come back to participate in the enthronement ceremony of my little emperor's niece, right?" Or...... Do you still want to be an imperial husband? ”

Sima Yu said with a straight face: "Since King Hui is a minister, he should not talk nonsense. The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the program is always orderly and cannot be violated, and His Royal Highness should also remember that he should not call the monarch by other titles in front of people. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Whatever, since Brother Sima is back, can you tell me what can be done to exterminate the Zhu Party?" Then Zhu Tongjing thought he would be safe when he hid? But I didn't know that there was such a capable person as Brother Sima, even Xie Rumo could kill him, he ...... Hehe, it's even more measurable. ”

Sima Yi said with a sad face: "Back to Your Highness, now Master Zhu is in Jiangzuo, ready to annex and counterattack my Jinling City." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ling was originally looking for it, why didn't she even see a maid with a lantern, and she was still stunned when she heard Sima Yi's words, could it be that Sima Yi didn't do a good job this trip? In his past opinion, Sima Yi is the kind of person who will be able to succeed in doing things, and he has also boasted to the people around him that as long as Sima Yi is a strategist, everything can be done. But this time, Sima Yu not only came back without doing things well, but also seemed to have done things badly.

"What do you call Zhu Tongjing? Guru? Brother Sima...... Am I drunk, or are you drunk? (To be continued......)
