Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 521 Honor and Inferiority

"Yes," Ji Yuan also thought the same. Such a good chess piece must be used in critical situations. He raised his head and glanced at Fu Tinghan and whispered: "Apart from me and the envoy, only Ting He knows about this matter. In the future, he will The letter you send will go directly to me, otherwise it will be given to Tinghe."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded: "Very good."

Fu Tinghan poured a cup of tea for the two of them and took a cup himself, pretending not to hear Ji Yuan's words.

The carriage was walking slowly. Ji Yuan still had a lot to say to Zhao Hanzhang, "This time Emperor Jin is hosting a banquet, it is necessary to give the girl a reward. Has the girl thought about what she wants?"

"I want Yuzhou and Luoyang."

"..." Ji Yuan said, "I'm talking about the title."

Zhao Hanzhang humbly asked for advice, "What do you think, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Yuan said: "With the merits of a girl, I can be granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him silently, and Ji Yuan also raised his eyelids and stared at their lord. The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Zhao Hanzhang clicked his tongue and said: "Sir, you are more ambitious than me. You will kill the highest one as soon as you come." Title, do you think the emperor can agree?"

In the Jin Kingdom, in addition to the princes whose surname was Sima, outsiders awarded titles to others. The highest one was the founding county prince, referred to as the Duke of the Kingdom.

Her great-grandfather also made meritorious deeds and worked hard all his life to get the title of Uncle Cai. But as soon as she came here, she wanted the title of Duke of Kaiguo?

She originally thought that it would be good if the emperor could be granted the title of Marquis. After being granted the title of Marquis and worshiping the Prime Minister, the Marquis could be compared with the Prime Minister.

Ji Yuan stroked his beard and said, "Girl, the knowledge in this court is profound. You are still young, and you have learned a lot."

He said: "I have proposed the title of Duke of Kaiguo County, but our goal is to be Duke of Kaiguo County. This is also the bottom line."

When Ji Yuan said this, his face became serious and he said: "How can we legitimately control Yuzhou and Luoyang without the title of Duke?"

She didn't even have a formal appointment as governor before, so didn't she still manage the entire Yuzhou?

But what Ji Yuan said is right, don't hesitate and seize the opportunity when you can get it right.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "You can't go to Grandfather Fu for this matter, you have to go to Uncle Fu."

Fu Zhi would definitely not go along with her, and might even vote against it. Zhao Zhongyu was different. He wished Zhao Hanzhang could become the regent, so he was naturally happy to give Zhao Hanzhang the highest title.

Ji Yuan said: "There are also General Beigong, Xun Xiu, Mi Ce and others. The general should also ask for rewards for them."

Zhao Hanzhang had previously given official positions to Xun Xiu and others, but they were all self-appointed and not appointed by the court. Although his power had not changed, his reputation was not the same.

So as long as there is a chance, letting them become regular employees can be a good opportunity to win people's hearts.

Zhao Hanzhang rubbed his chin and thought, "Without the obstruction of King Donghai, His Majesty can issue many orders. Will General Beigong leave the border and return to Xiliang?"

Ji Yuan: "...Girl, don't talk nonsense. If you don't mention it, no one will be able to remember this incident."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Others can't think of it, doesn't General Beigong himself have any idea?"

Ji Yuan looked troubled, "But General Beigong is such a talented person, are you willing to let him go?"

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his voice and said: "What do you think, we send people to bring their children to Yuzhou?"

Ji Yuan was stunned. This project was not small, and it would not be cheap. After all, if they wanted to ensure the safety of entering and exiting the customs, they would have to send out a lot of soldiers and horses.

"Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Beigong Chun is worth it," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I am reluctant to let him go, but I can't bear to let my beloved general be depressed."

Fu Tinghan: "You want to cooperate with Zhang Gui to fight against Xianbei?"

Zhao Hanzhang slapped his thigh and said, "You are the only one who knows me!"

Ji Yuan breathed heavily in his chest. He frowned and asked, "Xianbei?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded happily.

Fu Tinghan explained: "Since we want to make Luoyang our own territory, we must be careful of attacks from Xianbei and the Huns."

He said: "The Huns are in the north, Xianbei is in the northwest, our Yuzhou is in the east, which is already safe, and Chang'an is in the west, which is considered the land of Jin."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded repeatedly and said: "Jin ministers rarely attack each other without legitimate reasons. However, Nanyang Wangkong who guards Chang'an is famous but has no resourcefulness. He dare not and will not come to attack Luoyang, so the one we need to be careful about is Xianbei." and the Huns.”

"There is no need to talk about the Xiongnu. Xianbei, our relationship with the Jin State has been good and bad over the years. They can plunder Chang'an and Luoyang at the same time, and they can send troops to help Liu Kun control the Xiongnu."

"And at least half of the credit for this belongs to Zhang Gui. If he hadn't contained Xianbei in Xiliang, they would have gone south and occupied Chang'an and Luoyang."

In fact, after the death of Zhang Gui and his son, Xianbei did begin to develop rapidly, and finally divided up the entire northern land with Liu Cong's Huns and Shi Le's Jie tribe.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's a pity that Xiliang is too far away from Yuzhou. I can't go to see Zhang Gui in person. If I can take this opportunity to contact him and help each other, I can not only retain Bei Gongchun, a strong general, but also be able to communicate with him." Xiliang becomes an ally.”

Fu Tinghan nodded.

Ji Yuan couldn't help but look at Fu Tinghan and said with a smile: "Master Fu is indeed a good military advisor. No wonder General Beigong has always been obsessed with him."

At least he didn't expect that.

Maybe he will think of it in the future, but definitely not this soon.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang mentioned it, Fu Tinghan could understand what she meant. This strategic vision was indeed superior to his.

Fu Tinghan was used to being praised since childhood, and he gave Ji Yuan a smile as a habit, and then said to Zhao Hanzhang: "If you want Bei Gongchun to stay willingly, I suggest you use Huang An as your envoy."

Zhao Hanzhang was hesitant at first, but she made up her mind as soon as Fu Tinghan mentioned it, "Okay, let's use Huang An as the envoy. By the way, where is Wu Erlang now?"

Ji Yuan said: "It seems to be in Xiangcheng. He is running around with a caravan. I don't know where he is at this time."

"Let him prepare and go out with Huang An as an envoy. Since he has to cooperate with Xiliang, there will be more exchanges in the future. Let him open up the trade routes between the two sides. If he needs people, he can talk to Beigong Chun," Zhao Hanzhang said : "I think General Beigong must also want to have unhindered communication between the Central Plains and Xiliang."

"Yes." Ji Yuan lowered his head and responded.

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, the guards guarding the palace gate were all Zhao Jiajun, so when they saw Zeng Yue leading the formation and Ting He sitting on the carriage shaft, they let them go without asking any questions.

The carriage entered the palace and headed towards the main hall. There were also ministers and noble family members in the palace who were leading them to the main hall. When they saw the carriage, they all stopped and stepped aside. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Foreign ministers are never allowed in the palace. When carriages and horses enter, each time a prince in power is replaced, a new prince's carriage and horses will arrive in front of the main hall.

But now it's better, two people have been replaced directly.

In addition to Zhao Hanzhang, Gou Xi also entered the palace on horseback, oh, he arrived just half a quarter of an hour before Zhao Hanzhang arrived.

The carriage stopped in front of the main hall. Tinghe, who had got off early and was walking, put down the carriage stool and respectfully opened the curtain.

Fu Tinghan stood up to get out of the car, but Ji Yuan stretched out his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Da Langjun was humble to me in the past in Yuzhou, but he can no longer be so casual here."

After saying that, he first bent down and got out of the car, then bowed and waited beside the car for Fu Tinghan to get off.

Good night
