When he heard that the head of the Haidong Palace, who was unable to resist the enemy and could only leave his country in ruins and fled abroad in a hurry, suddenly rose up and returned with reinforcements, Jiang Tian couldn't help but With a movement in his eyes, he immediately interrupted He Taiping's detailed explanation:
"Wait a minute, now that the official office has returned on its own initiative, what about the platform for overcoming rebellion and overcoming difficulties? How can the Prince of the Supervisory State of Zhongyuan Capital deal with himself? Could it be that during this period of time, the court affairs and personnel, as well as the established national policies and The strategy has undergone major changes again.”
"This has never happened before." However, after hearing this, He Taiping hesitated for a moment before he said honestly: "My father-in-law was the one who personally welcomed him into Zhongyuan Capital. Then he issued a proclamation. The metaphor, "One should carry out personnel affairs and strategy in Taiwan," is still used as before and has not changed."
"Subsequently, he was granted the title of the next person in the residence, and he was promoted to protect Deyi and Dai to keep the bright and bright festival... He was the hero of Jingnan, the chief photographer of the imperial court/supervisor of state affairs, and he opened the same three divisions of official rituals and granted the same five tins. ." He Taiping then added: "In addition, the other ministers have also been rewarded and promoted."
"Among them, General Ye (Jing) in the rear has been promoted to Xiongzhou Mu and is the garrison envoy of Zhixi Yuanjing; Deputy General Hong (Dashou) of the Kenan Army has been promoted to Shangzhou Military Horse Supervisor and Shahuo garrison; Long Congfanqi General Han (Third and Fourth) is now also the guard of Beiyuan Capital; and General Han (Wuliu) of the front team has also become the trainer of the new army at the edge of the town... True Ancestor? Can he still return? Do you remember that even Director Lin, whom you selected from the refugees, was worshiped as Guning County..."
When Jiang Tian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart. After this period of time, it was obvious that these people had their own encounters; although it was a bit unexpected, it seemed that there was no problem, and then he asked with a smile: "What about you, what are your errands and responsibilities this time? "
"A humble villain with no talent. Now he is also the direct commander of the prince's mansion. He receives a salary from the seventh rank leader and is ordered to serve as a rebel army in the southeast." He Taiping also stood up respectfully and replied: "But there are many In the past few days, I have not personally listened to your Majesty’s instructions.”
"Wait a minute, how long have you said you haven't seen the Crown Prince?" Jiang Tian immediately noticed the implication of his words, and immediately asked: "Don't you think you are under the Crown Prince's direct command now, don't you have your own? What are the means of contact, seal, and secret text?”
"This is to inform the True Ancestor. The villain was ordered to go south to serve as an official at the beginning of the year. It has been less than half a year now." He Taiping hesitated after hearing this, and then collected his thoughts and said: "According to the Xingtai system,? The villain is exclusive to the king. There are also contact methods, but they haven’t been used for a long time.”
"Then those previous rewards and promotions were in whose name were they, the official office or the Xingtai?" Jiang Tian pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Are they mainly the subordinates directly under the Xingtai, or those who subsequently joined the vassals? Does the affiliation include the troops and horses from outside to assist in the battle?"
"..." Jiang Tian's series of questions made He Taiping seem a little stunned, and then he organized his speech and said: "Of course it is the official office; it is said that since the return of the master's father, all the national government and military aircraft have been entrusted to the residence. Got off. So we have been acting as one for a long time."
In non-mission scenarios, or in urgent and critical situations, Jiang Tian originally planned to avoid intervening as much as possible in the events and historical process of this time and space, so as not to affect the growth and performance of Little Round Face. After all, no one likes being influenced and manipulated from behind.
But now it seems that there is something hidden in it, but it has not yet reached the bottom line and alarm that triggers personal safety.
"I dare not hide it from my true ancestor!" However, the next moment, He Taiping, who had already stood up to speak, seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly kowtowed and knelt on the ground, crying quickly: "Little man... little man, I have already had some idea that many of my close friends who serve in the office and in the residence are no longer contactable. It’s just that the villain is ordered to serve in public, although he can’t help but worry about gains and losses; he is also worried about the residence. , but we can only hold back for the moment... Now that the true ancestor has come to the world, he must have sensed it, and the villain has a backbone."
"So, you suspect that the situation in Zhongyuan Jing has changed?" Jiang Tian said in a calm voice: "This is of great importance. Do you have enough evidence? Otherwise, just based on some guesses, If you dare to criticize the official office and alienate your own flesh and blood, that is a serious crime."
"Because of this, the little man has to sacrifice his life to seek an answer!" However, He Taiping said more firmly: "To be honest with the true ancestor, although the national policy of Beidi remains unchanged, recently many awards have been issued in the name of Dixia His orders are often self-contradictory and seem to go against the grain!"
"Especially now, I accidentally learned a secret that I don't know whether it is true or not..." He Taiping then involuntarily lowered his voice and said: "We can only confirm it when we return to Zhongyuan Capital and ask for an audience with you. ; but since the True Ancestor is here, it might as well..."
But he had just received some unexpected and shocking news through his informants and internal agents in the Fuso Army. The returned Kaidong Office is secretly contacting and negotiating with the Fuso Allied Forces to reach an armistice treaty that maintains and maintains the status quo in a certain sense.
That's right, it's an informant. After all, the Fuso Domain is known as the coalition, but in fact there are many factions within it with their own demands; there are even hatreds and disputes. It was only when the situation was very good earlier that it was covered up and suppressed. Therefore, after the war, some people secretly established relationships with Xingtai through him;
Of course, the other party is not a purely kind person; he is just on the wrong side of King Deming who launched the sea-crossing expedition; or he simply wants to hinder his enemies and opponents and cause trouble. Just to make it easier for them to succeed and get bigger.
There was even a big figure in the Fuso Alliance who inadvertently revealed that those Fuso princes who had already carved up the base in the southern states, in order to protect their established interests and achievements, could even nominally fight against them. Haidong's office became a minister.
In this way, the contemporary public office could gain the reputation of regaining its homeland and reestablish authority at an almost bloodless cost; and those Fusang princes and powerful vassals who landed in Haidong early could also eliminate many subsequent competitors when the war situation was not going well. In addition, the greatest practical benefits were obtained.
However, once the government reaches a peace agreement with the Fusang clan, even if it is only a part of them, then he, the Fusang Tu clan who went on an expedition with the army but surrendered to supervise the crown prince, will not have a bright future, not to mention that his life and fortune may be stolen. Use it as a sacrificial bargaining chip.
At least compared to Hong Dashou, Han Sansi, Han Wuliu and other township party and Yuancong factions, or Ye Jing and other public leaders and Xunmen factions; He Taiping, who was a rebel in front of the battle, has a shallow foundation in the Xingtai team It is even insignificant; once it is separated from the attention of the prince, it is nothing.
Now that the elusive True Ancestor of the Protector of the Country has appeared in front of him, He Taiping will seize this God-given opportunity without hesitation to fight for his future. Perhaps he, who was the nephew of the head of the mountain village a few years ago, would become one of the officials of the Kaidong vassal in the future.
, while He Taiping was weighing and thinking, there were suddenly shouts, shouts, and curses from far and near; and then someone hurriedly shouted outside the tent: "He Fan, please get out of here quickly. , those people from Yulongwei broke in again and said they wanted to take you for questioning."
However, He Taiping couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Instead, he was overjoyed and said that it was just the right time; the opportunity to master this motley team was right in front of him. Then, with Jiang Tian's nod, he said in a panic: "Don't conflict with me, I will just go and defend myself."
