Chapter 188: Eldest Sister

After the funerals of the three princes were completed, and the food shortage crisis caused by the great drought was also passed safely, many officials in the DPRK and China really breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, another shocking news came.

There has never been a shortage of pioneers in this world, especially when there were refugees everywhere due to famine, and it is inevitable that there will be ambitious people who want to take advantage of such a great opportunity to do something.

Originally, although the person with a heart had a plan, he also planned to slowly realize his ambition in the chaos, but who would have expected that the chaos that swept the entire Great Wu Dynasty would be solved by Old Man Han in such a quick way.

As a common people, it is natural to want to live a peaceful and joyful life.

If you can fill your stomach and live in peace, how many people are willing to live that uprooted life?

Suddenly knowing that this turmoil is about to end, those who have a heart are naturally anxious, and if they want to fight for the wealth and glory of the rest of their lives, of course they must have someone in their hands, but if the people under them return to their hometown because of the better life, then what else can they achieve?

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the effect of stabilizing food prices implemented by Old Man Han has not yet been fully exerted, the people who can't wait can wait will start to act as promised.

As a result, in a short period of time, the capital received one after another in the south of the Yangtze River, which was most affected by the previous famine, and there were people who continued to revolt under the banner of leading the people to live a better life.

Said to be an uprising, in fact, it is just some people who had a certain prestige among the refugees before pulling the banner to make profits for themselves, most of them are a person with a little vision leading a group of rabble to make a small fuss, but in the end there is also a climate, under the sudden attack, it also brought some trouble to the imperial court, and the Dawu Dynasty, which had just calmed down, had chaos again, and many people fell into chaos again because of these so-called rebel armies.

However, for the imperial court, these so-called uprisings brought only trouble.

The hundred officials of the imperial court were angry because of this news, but it was a famine brought about by a great drought, and there were even these people who dared to fight this great rebellious idea, did they think that there was no one in the imperial court, or that the imperial court would not be able to take action to clean them up?

In a fit of rage, the generals in Beijing asked Old Man Han for advice, saying that they wanted to give those Diao people some color to see.

For the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible to allow this kind of tiger whiskers to be saved, so the civil and military officials all thought that Old Man Han would gladly agree, but what everyone didn't expect was that Old Man Han ignored all the invitations to fight.

Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't understand why the decisive old man Han turned a blind eye to those people this time, and some generals who were more anxious said angrily behind their backs that the old man Han was as timid as a mouse, and even these vulnerable rabble could scare him.

Old Man Han didn't know how these generals talked about him secretly, but from beginning to end, he didn't express any opinions, and of course he didn't change his mind and let people lead the troops to the battle.

Soon, without the old man Han's explanation, the officials of the DPRK and China knew why the old man Han was indifferent to those rebels.

In the early morning of one day, when the city guards guarding the Yongding Gate pushed open the heavy palace gate, they found that there were black crows and crows standing outside the city, and countless expressionless soldiers were wearing shiny armor and holding sharp swords and spears in their hands.

Seeing such an amazing picture at first glance, the city guards were shocked and then panicked, they had long heard that there were rebel rebels in Jiangnan and other places who were making waves everywhere, and they thought that sooner or later they would be suppressed by the imperial court, could it be that the news was wrong, those so-called rebel armies rushed to the capital so quickly?

With this preconceived idea in their hearts, the city guards only felt that their legs and feet were sore, and they obviously wanted to escape from here quickly, but they didn't even have the strength to take a step.

Fortunately, a dignified and dignified middle-aged man who looked to be forty-seven or eighteen years old standing at the forefront of the general showed his identity in the next sentence.

"I am Hanye, and I am ordered to lead the soldiers to quell the rebellion and return triumphantly." So said the man.

When they first heard the word Han Ye, the city guards were stunned for a while, and they didn't remember who this person was for a long time.

But then, the surname Han quickly reminded them of the origin of the name.

"The second master of the Han family!"

A fast-brained guard exclaimed in shock, and then managed to cause an uproar.

The old man Han has two sons in his life, in addition to the old man of the Han family, who has now led the military department, there is also a second master, this second old man has been in office because he has served as a political envoy in Guangdong, even if he has not returned to Beijing during the New Year's Festival, so few people in the capital have seen him in recent years.

Even, for many people, Han Ye, the second master of the Han family, is completely unfamiliar, just like most of the city guards present.

However, didn't the second master of the Han family take office in Guangdong, why did he suddenly return to the capital, and he made a shocking appearance in this way? Moreover, don't they all say that the second master of the Han family is a civil official, so where did these soldiers he led at the moment come from?

The thoughts of the city guards were like a chaotic mass of threads, and they couldn't figure it out.

But in any case, the second master of the Han family returned to Beijing, and it was impossible for them not to let them go, verified Han Ye's identity, and compared the tiger talisman that Han Ye led the troops in his hand, Han Ye took the lead in entering the city, and the 100,000 soldiers he brought back were stationed twenty miles away from the capital, so as to be dispatched at any time.

The second master of the Han family returned to Beijing, and he came back in such a high-profile way, and the scene that happened at the city gate reached the ears of many people at a very fast speed.

Han Ye returned to Beijing at this time, and he still led so many soldiers, this unusual thing made many sensitive officials in the capital feel a little uneasy inexplicably, as if something big was about to happen in the capital.

Han Ye returned to Han's house to rest for the night, and appeared on the morning morning the next morning.

Ignoring the surprised eyes of other colleagues looking at him, Han Ye knew how he learned that there were great rebels in Jiangnan and other places who falsely claimed to be uprisings, and tried to incite the local people to achieve ulterior purposes, because the matter happened urgently, lest a slow step would let those thieves bring bad influence to the Dawu Dynasty, so he didn't have time to ask the court for instructions, so he took the nearest guard to quell the rebellion, and then wrote to the court to report the matter, and got the old man Han's handwritten letter to return to the court.

Han Ye's words can be regarded as explaining why he appeared in the morning court at this moment, and it also makes everyone understand why Old Man Han insisted on ignoring the uprising that caused a lot of trouble.

However, the civil and military officials of the early dynasty did not relax because of this, on the contrary, their faces became more and more heavy.

They believe that Han Ye said that leading the troops to quell the rebellion, although Han Ye served as a civilian, but everyone knows that Han Ye when he was young also led the troops in the process of establishing the Dawu Dynasty, although more than 20 years have passed, but no one will deny the talent of Han Ye to lead the troops at the beginning.

What they don't believe is that Han Ye led the troops as a civilian official, is his purpose really just to quell the rebellion as he said?

He brought back to Beijing a full 100,000 soldiers, 100,000 soldiers returned to Beijing from Guangdong, and I don't know how long it will take to prepare for grain and grass alone, and how can it be sudden, not to mention, although the crisis of food shortage in the Dawu Dynasty has been lifted, it may not be easy to come up with military food for 100,000 soldiers to chew at once, and where does the grain and grass in Han Ye's hands come from?

Moreover, from Guangdong to the capital, such a long way, Han Ye's return did not let everyone in the capital know the slightest news, if he did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts along the way, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

So, when the emperor was seriously ill and ordered the old man Han to temporarily take charge of the government, and the old man Han solved the critical moment of turmoil caused by the great drought, Han Ye led the troops enough to surround the capital and returned to the capital, what kind of deep meaning does it have?

Han family, is there really something going to happen this time?

With this kind of thinking, in the next period of time, the mansions of all the clans and eunuchs in the capital seemed to be extraordinarily quiet, and many people who were faintly aware of the inappropriateness had to think about the way out in the future.

And in the tranquility before such a storm, Han Ye, who triggered this series of chain reactions, came to the Anguo Mansion after resting.

Xiao Jingbei is sure that he has never met the second master of the Han family before, let alone dealt with him, so how could this second master of the Han family, who returned to the capital for the first time, find the Duke of Anguo directly without handing over the post during such a sensitive period?

Xiao Jingbei didn't think that Han Ye was here to find him, so there was only one possibility, this second master of the Han family must have come for Feng Zhige.

He remembered what Feng Zhige said at the time, "If I were the original Hansu".

If Feng Zhige is Hansu, then it is natural to understand why Han Ye would come to visit so abruptly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingbei thought about it, and directly asked Han Ye to be led to the banquet room of Leaf Courtyard, and then asked Feng Zhige to be notified, and he hid in the study.

When Han Ye was taken to the banquet room, Feng Zhige had already arrived, and Xiao Jingbei had not had time to go out.

Han Ye, who strode in, didn't even glance at Xiao Jingbei from the corner of his eye, as if he could only see Feng Zhige alone in his eyes, and came straight to Feng Zhige.

Feng Zhige was sitting on the main seat of the banquet room at this time, Xiao Jingbei thought that she would at least stand up to greet the guests, but what he didn't expect was that Feng Zhige sat still, and Han Ye knelt on one knee in front of Feng Zhige the next moment, tilting his head, looking at Feng Zhige like an ignorant child looking up to someone he admired.

"Eldest sister." Han Ye said in a deep voice.

Xiao Jingbei was about to step out of the threshold, so he followed, and finally couldn't help but turn his head and look at Han Ye again, and then went all the way to the study.

On the way to the study, Xiao Jingbei's ears kept echoing Han Ye's voice of "eldest sister" who seemed to suppress a lot of intense emotions, and then he hesitated.

Han Ye called Feng Zhige as the eldest sister, so wouldn't he be called a brother-in-law by Han Ye?

……

Taken off his military uniform, Han Ye looks much younger than his actual age, although his actual age is forty or eight, but in addition to the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, there are actually not many traces of the passage of time on Han Ye's body, but an already gentle and elegant face has added a lot of mature charm due to the baptism of the years.

If it is placed in the future generations, this is definitely a charming uncle-level figure who can attract many young girls with spring.

But at this time, such a Han Ye was half-kneeling on Feng Zhige's knees like a child.

"Eldest sister." He called again, "Why did you come back?" ”

There was a thick longing in his voice, and a faint grievance, which was very different from the impression he brought to people on the outside.

Being leaned on by Han Ye like this, Feng Zhige subconsciously remembered all the things that the two got along with back then.

Not long after Han Ye was born, the old man Han's wife died early, and the old man Han at that time not only suffered the pain of widowhood, but also had to worry about the cold Su who had been "wise and close to the demon" since he was a child, and Han Ye, who lost his mother early.

At that time, Han Ye couldn't even speak, and there was no serious hostess in the Han Mansion, and Han Ye was taken by the nurse in the house all day long, so the old man Han at that time had a whim, and stuffed the babbling Han Ye to the taciturn but unusually precocious Han Su, hoping that the younger son could make his daughter show the side that suited her age.

I have to say that Old Man Han is indeed not a person who follows the rules, how can an ordinary father hand over his infant son to a daughter who is also only three or four years old, not to mention that the weight of the son far exceeds that of the daughter, it is a big question whether such a young child can take care of a younger child properly.

It can be said that Han Ye was almost brought up by Han Su.

Because of this, Han Ye and Han Su when he was young were the closest, so close that even Old Man Han, his father, and Han Ling, the eldest brother, had to be put behind by him.

Later, Han Su, who came to the marriageable age, made a marriage contract with Zhao Tiannan, and left the Han family to fight with Zhao Tiannan, and Han Ye officially left Han Su.

With such a past, it is natural that Han Ye will have such an expression when he sees today's Fengzhige.

Feng Zhige raised her eyes and glanced at Han Ye who was lying on her lap, even if the current Han Ye was no longer the child who was only a small group at the beginning, she still stretched out her hand and gently stroked Han Ye's head like many years ago, not caring at all if her actions would mess up Han Ye's hair.

A mature middle-aged man, but with such an attachment posture to the knee of a woman who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, and even when the woman strokes his hair, he shows a nostalgic and yearning expression, if there are others here, he will definitely feel that this scene is very weird.
