Chapter 829: The Emperor is Busy
Han Jian didn't return to Luoyang for a long time, and he rarely had the opportunity to come to the small courtyard, and the three girls were particularly obsessed.
The hibiscus tent was warm, and Han Jian didn't know what time it was outside. Although sometimes Han Jian also feels a little tired, after all, he has to face so many women around him, and he has guilt in his heart, so he has to use his body to operate first, and it is the most important thing to make the beauty happy.
But it also hurt himself.
When Han Jian got up the next day, his head hurt a little more than yesterday, because of the wind chill contracted after the year, Han Jian had to think about his body. But due to the size of the court, he didn't have time to rest.
Han Jian did not return to the palace, but first secretly summoned the people in charge of collecting information, these people were not affiliated with Daxiliu, but another intelligence system of Han Jian. Han Jian's plan to send troops was in March, and before that, he had to investigate the military defense structure of the Southern Dynasty clearly, and those people were loyal to the Dynasty, who were stubborn, and what kind of mountains and rivers and geographical environment they had to face on the way to the army.
After all, it is not an internal use of troops, and troops were sent in the past, because the geography of mountains and rivers is in Jiangbei, and the Wei Dynasty has been running Jiangbei for many years, even if Han Jian does not do his homework in advance, someone will present the detailed situation to him. This time it is to send troops to the Qi Dynasty, although the Wei Dynasty has also taken the initiative to send troops several times to recover the rivers and mountains, but at most it is only to kill the soldiers and horses across the river, and in the end it is to hate the city of Jinling, the geographical environment of the south of the Yangtze River is different from the Northern Dynasty, and the climate is humid, even if the Northern Dynasty has no less cavalry than the Xianbei people, it is difficult to play its due role in the territory of the Southern Dynasty where there are many rivers and rivers.
When Han Jian returned to the palace at noon, Han Jian just wanted to go back to sleep first, and in the case of a headache, he didn't want to think about many things. But before Han Jian arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, he heard that Ning Yuan and the principals of the Sixth Department were already waiting in Ye'an Pavilion. Said that there was something to report.
Even if you have to be patient, Han Jian has to meet with him, which is his duty as an emperor. When Han Jian arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, Ning Yuan and the others had been waiting for a long time, Han Jian sat down and waved his hand, "Just do something." ”
The principals of the six departments were looking at Ning Yuan intentionally or unintentionally. Ning Yuan saluted and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the northern army will disturb the people on the way to the south." This...... There are many copies in the place, and your Majesty is invited to read them. ”
As he spoke, he handed a few copies to Han Jian, and Han Jian came over to see that they were all copies of the complaint of the local state government in the north of the Yellow River, and the complaint was not someone else, it was Su Tingxia, who said that Su Tingxia connived at his subordinates to loot in the locality, not only robbing the property of the local gentry, but also robbing the population. Some acts of adultery and plunder, which have had a considerable impact on the local community. There are not a few places to complain, and in the route of Su Tingxia's withdrawal of troops, this kind of complaint has been repeated, so that those areas that have not yet received the southern withdrawal of troops and horses have already written to the imperial court not to open the city to receive them, so as not to suffer the same fate.
After Han Jian read it, he put down the playbook and said, "There are so many places to play the book. It seems to be true. What do you think? ”
The principal of the sixth department still looked at Ning Yuan, but Ning Yuan was not easy to reply. Su Tingxia's department has always been connived at by Han Jian. This time to the grassland in the north, Su Tingxia's people and horses have a lot of credit, as for whether Han Jian has the meaning of hiding the bow of the bird, the people below do not know, Ning Yuan did not get Han Jian's instructions, even if he is the head of the Chinese official of the DPRK. Nor can there be any criticism of the generals who are in charge of the army.
Ning Yuan said: "The ministers have no idea, such a big matter, they can only ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision." ”
"If everything needs me to do, what else do you need to do? Since the north is dissatisfied with the reception of the southern withdrawal of troops and horses, then the order is to pass. On the way to the south, the officials and people in the city only need to receive them with money and food, and they do not need to welcome the soldiers and horses into the city. At the same time, he planned to go to the northern military camp and reprimand him first, and ordered General Su to urge his subordinates to be good again, and if such a thing happens, the court will definitely investigate it. Han Jian was slightly upset, he didn't have Yang Rui's calm temper, he preferred to be vigorous and resolute in many things, but he had never had a better solution to Su Tingxia's problem.
If the war was completely over, he could let Su Tingxia rest and control Su Tingxia's men and horses in his own hands. But now that the army is about to be used against the Southern Dynasty, it is still the time to use Su Tingxia, at this juncture, even if Su Tingxia and his men and horses who seem to be bandits do some unreasonable things, they must stabilize these people first.
Ning Yuan saluted and said, "Then the old minister will do it." ”
Han Jian waved his hand and motioned for these people to stand down. When the people left, Han Jian picked up the notebook again, and looked at the notebook one by one, but still couldn't see any doorway.
At the beginning of Han Jian's thoughts, even if Su Tingxia had no way to govern the army, he would not continue to plunder when he returned to the territory of the Wei Dynasty with a large number of rewards. Things are a little strange, if it weren't for the malicious accusations of the local government, it was Su Tingxia's intention, obviously he could restrain his subordinates, but he didn't restrain him, Su Tingxia was such a smart person, and things were not as simple as when they first happened.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the north." A guard sent the battle report into the Ye'an Pavilion.
Han Jian took the battle report and read it carefully, but it was sent by Lin Zhan, which detailed the recent situation of the Xianbei tribes on the grassland.
After Su Tingxia withdrew his troops from the grassland, the tribes of Xianbei who fled north finally won a chance to breathe and tried to reoccupy the grasslands in the south, after all, it was the middle of winter, the north was extremely cold, and the tribes of the grasslands were also worried about those fertile grassland pastures, who could occupy these places, who could develop and grow. And those grassland tribes who had already submitted to the court of the Wei Dynasty, some of them also had different intentions, many of these tribes were unwilling to relocate, and these people could not play any role as a barrier on the grassland. At the end of the urgent report, Lin Zhan requested that all the tribes of these grasslands be moved to Guannan, so that they could stay away from the old tribes of Xianbei and facilitate management.
In Lin Zhan's recital, there was no mention of Su Tingxia's matter, and Han Jian suddenly seemed to realize something, and he didn't grasp it very accurately.
Originally, the report of the commander of the north was an absolute big deal, but Han Jian did not immediately summon people from the military to discuss countermeasures, but left the report in Ye'an Pavilion and went to rest in the interior.
The withdrawal of troops from the north and the use of troops against the south were almost in preparation at the same time, although he was in a hurry, but Han Jian knew that if he was not prepared in time, it would be difficult to strike while the iron was hot. The soldiers of the north have just won the victory and their morale is rising, and it is best to raise troops to the south with such a posture, and it is precisely to take advantage of this drum to make a big move. But problems followed, and things were done in a hurry, and grain, grass, weapons, and materials were prepared. There are even more troubles on the way back of the soldiers and horses, and the men and horses of the Jiangdu headquarters are easy to manage, but those soldiers who are not Jiangdu are in the first place, and it is a lot more troublesome to control.
Han Jian went to see Yang Rui first, if there was something, he really wanted to discuss it with Yang Rui, how to say that Yang Rui was also the empress, and his grasp of the court affairs should be more accurate.
Yang Rui is still lukewarm to Han Jian, as if she only has her daughter in her eyes. No one else. Han Jian sat in Yang Rui's bedroom, and looked at Yang Rui's mother and daughter for a long time, but he didn't get any reply from Yang Rui.
"Rui'er, what do you think, you have to say it, let's refer to it together." Han Jian couldn't help but say in the end.
Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian, looked at his daughter again, and said, "Who is the emperor now?" ”
"What if it's me? If you want to do it, I'll give it back to you. Han Jian said with an indifferent expression.
Yang Rui sneered twice. He was a little disdainful of Han Jian's "generosity", and still didn't make any comments on the affairs of the imperial court. Han Jian also felt that he was bored. If I knew it earlier, I would rather go back and discuss it with Yang Li'er, or it would be good to benefit.
There are some things, Han Jian's own thinking direction is a little biased, and he can't be comprehensive, he must think about it with people who don't have so many crooked eyes around him, in fact, Yang Rui has been the emperor for many years, and Yang Rui's biggest characteristic is forbearance. For the growth of the Four Kings system, he just forbears it in the hope that it can be eradicated at the right time, but in the end, he connived at the growth of the Dongwang Mansion and replaced the Yang family. From this point of view, Yang Rui's role as emperor was also a failure, if it weren't for Han Jian's failure to change the country name. In fact, she became the last monarch of the Wei Dynasty.
Han Jian knew that it was useless to ask again, but Yang Rui refused to say it, so he said: "Recently, the Inner Mansion will step up the repair of the palace, if there is anything that needs to be added here, let Hui'er go and talk to the people of the Inner Mansion." But it's not a big deal, in two months, you and I will leave Luoyang, and I don't know when I will come back. ”
Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian again and said, "Who said that the concubine should go with you, who is the emperor?" ”
Han Jian said: "It's up to you whether you go or not, since you yourself are also a minister, then you must do your best to be a minister and obey the monarch." You're finally satisfied with this answer, right? ”
Yang Rui ignored Han Jian again.
Han Jian felt that he had touched a nail, he touched his head, and said, "In the past two days, I have occasionally felt cold and have a headache, so if it's okay, I'll go back and rest first." ”
After saying that, Han Jian got up and walked out, Yang Rui didn't even have the interest to send off the guests. When Han Jian arrived at the door, Hui'er came over with a hot decoction, and almost collided with Han Jian, for Han Jian to leave, Hui'er obviously didn't expect that Han Jian would not have left in such a hurry in the past, but after all, she was just a little palace maid, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only salute Han Jian and leave.
Han Jian went directly from Yang Rui's dormitory to Yang Li'er's palace. Compared with Yang Rui's indifference to him, Yang Li'er was much more enthusiastic, Han Jian just came over, and Yang Li'er had already brought the show girl who had just entered the palace to greet her.
When she got inside, Yang Li'er first asked the show girl to come over to serve tea, and then she retreated, and asked with a smile: "The concubines have been teaching them well for the past two days, I don't know if the princess likes it?" ”
Han Jian sighed: "How can my husband have the heart to think about this, I have a headache, and I want to come back and rest well." ”
Yang Li'er seemed to have a bit of a taste on her face: "Hmph, Xianggong is overworked, and he has contracted the wind cold elsewhere, so he wants to rest here as a concubine." It's really boring. ”
Han Jian had no choice but to coax each other, Yang Li'er smiled, helped Han Jian to get up and said: "Since Xianggong is here, he will go inside to rest, the concubine will let people prepare ginger tea for Xianggong, Xianggong has rested, if there is anything, the concubine will respond first." ”
"Hmm."
Han Jian nodded, and when he arrived at Yang Li'er's boudoir, it was very well cleaned up. It's only been two days since she came, and Yang Li'er has arranged the boudoir a little bit, and it can be seen that she is bored now, and Yang Li'er, who no longer likes to dance and play with swords, also needs to find a sustenance for her spirit.
Before Han Jian could lie down, a show girl he had just seen brought ginger tea over and walked in slowly. Because she came in alone, this show girl still had fear of Han Jian on her face, lowered her head, and when she came to Han Jian, she knelt down respectfully and raised the tray above her head.
Because the show girl lowered her head, Han Jian couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she could also feel that she was a beautiful girl, not only with her appearance, but also with talent and temperament on the outside. Han Jian also had to admire Yang Li'er's unique vision, just from the portrait alone to find the advantages of these show girls, and after a little teaching from her, in just a few days, the show girls are not like show girls, but more like concubines who only wait for grace in front of the emperor's bed.
It's a pity that Han Jian is sick and weak. And after all, it was still in Yang Li'er's room, even if Yang Li'er said that she didn't mind, and took the initiative to send the show girl over, wasn't she actually testing him? If he really responded to Yang Li'er's "kindness", looking back, it was Yang Li'er who was angry with him.
A woman's mentality is sometimes difficult to understand, even if Yang Li'er is obedient to him now, Han Jian still has to know how to understand a woman's mentality and can't hurt her.
After drinking the ginger tea, his body warmed up a little, and Han Jian was about to rest, but the show girl was still kneeling in front of the bed and refused to leave. It seems that before she came over, Yang Li'er had something special to explain.
Han Jian sat on the edge of the bed and said, "You should step back first, I don't need anyone to serve here." ”
"Yes." The show girl didn't leave first, but first put boots for Han Jian, and waited for the boots to be arranged, before she got up to make a farewell salute, and the person withdrew outside.
When the others left, Han Jian felt that this seemed to be arranged by Yang Li'er. Sure enough, not long after the person went out, Yang Li'er came over in person.
"Xianggong is too, why are you so incomprehensible. The concubine wanted her husband to sleep warmer, so she came to serve. Yang Li'er seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "Even you said that your husband is overworked, and you still have to do these inconsequential things?" ”
Yang Li'er's face was slightly dissatisfied: "I just let Xiang Gong hold it, and I didn't think about anything, it was Xiang Gong who moved this thought himself." ”
Just now let the show girl come over alone to deliver ginger tea, Yang Li'er must have expected what would happen, and now she is complaining about Han Jian, which also makes Han Jian feel that even if she is a caring woman, she occasionally has to lose her temper with him, in fact, this is also the joy of the boudoir.
Han Jian smiled and took Yang Li'er over, and said, "It's okay to have you." If you want to talk about warmth, you are warmer, who called us husband and wife? ”
Even if Yang Li'er still had a little temper from her little daughter's family just now, she couldn't help but smile a little shy when she heard Han Jian's words. Yang Li'er was not sleepy in the first place, but she couldn't resist Han Jian's insistence, so she had to stay and sleep with Han Jian. (To be continued......)
