In Han Jian's opinion, the Xianbei people did not invade sooner or later, but they invaded when the empress and the northern king were about to have a showdown, as if it had been discussed. There is obvious deception in this.

But the empress didn't seem to believe what Han Jian said.

The empress said: "You have reasons for your suspicions, but the Xianbei people have a deep grudge with our dynasty, and they will never be involved with the king of the north." ”

Han Jian asked: "Then the meaning of His Majesty is to send troops and money and food at the permission of the King of the North?" ”

The empress said: "The king of the north did not ask for the transfer of troops, but I don't want to ignore the matter of money and food. After all, this is a matter of the safety of the people of my Central Plains, and I can't afford to neglect it. ”

Han Jian saw that persuasion was useless, so he didn't do it reluctantly. Since the empress had already believed that there was no problem with this invasion of the Xianbei people, he said anything more as if he was a villain.

"Then I don't know what His Majesty summoned his ministers to come and discuss?" Han Jian asked.

The empress glanced at Han Jian, and her expression seemed to say, your kid's opinion seems to be quite big?

"It's fine." The empress's attitude was also a little unkind, "I summoned you to come, but I only informed you in advance, and I am ready to make my sixth brother the crown prince at your request." And he was the envoy to the Qi Dynasty. In addition, I am going to use the king of Yanning as an envoy to escort money and grain to the north. ”

When Han Jian heard what the empress said, he knew that the empress had already made up her mind for Yiqiē. He said anything in vain.

"Your Majesty is wise." Han Jianyan said insincerely. He also wanted to know why he didn't see the king of Yanning County and Tang Sheng, it turned out that the empress's way to deal with Tang Sheng coldly was to let Tang Sheng and the king of Yanning go to escort money and grain together, so that even if Tang Sheng really had a problem in the corruption and deficit case. Sending it out in this way will not affect the team formed by the follow-up household department. After Tang Sheng returns, he will no longer have access to real power.

The empress also seemed to hear that Han Jian's words were not from her original intention.

Between the monarch and the minister, although it seems that everything is not hidden, there is already a sense of life between the words. Han Jian disagreed with the empress on the invasion of the Xianbei people, which was also the root cause of the disagreement.

"What I say today, the king of the east will not tell others first, and he will announce it in the future. Go down. The Empress finally said in the tone of the following eviction order.

Han Jian sighed in his heart, and said that the emperor's family was unkind, he didn't believe it before, but now it seems. The empress turned her face faster than she did in a book. Said to trust him. He also informed him of such an important news as the establishment of the crown prince in advance, but he did not adopt his opinion, as if he had a long mouth.

But fortunately, Han Jian was also prepared for today's events, and he saluted very respectfully. Then exit outside the Hanli Palace. At the entrance of Hanli Palace. The two brothers, Yang Xi and Yang Yu, were waiting. Seeing Han Jian come out, Yang Xi stepped forward and asked, "Brother Han, what did my sister tell you?" ”

Han Jian looked at the two brothers. Even Yang Yu was looking at her, and seemed to want to know what the empress was secretly saying to him. Han Jian really wanted to say that your kid is going to be the crown prince, and he is going to envoy to Southern Qi. Since the empress had an order forbidding him to say it, he didn't touch his head, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty just asked me some opinions, what opinions can I have on the war?" Alas! ”

After speaking, Han Jian sighed and left the palace in the direction he came from.

……

……

For two days, Han Jian's mood was very depressed. He felt as if he had been put on the spot by the Empress.

Originally, it was Yang Xi and Yang Yufeng who were kings, and when he entered the palace to watch the ceremony, he didn't expect that he would be involved in such a thing as the invasion of the Xianbei people. He just said a word to beware of fraud, and was pushed back by the empress, and Han Jian felt that his suspicion was not wrong.

Fortunately, Han Jian can also see it, and he also knows that some things are in vain. Even if the invasion of the Xianbei people is a conspiracy between the king of the north and the people of Xianbei, it will be as he guessed before, the heart of the jackal of the Xianbei people, the king of the north is easy to send the gods, and in the end, the fake invasion will become a real invasion, and now that Xianbei has quelled the rebellion in the northern grassland, and is ready to enter the Central Plains, this battle of the Xianbei people can be regarded as fully prepared. The king of the north is too busy for a while, and it may take a long time to prepare for the rebellion, and the empress is not in a hurry to finally settle with the king of the north, she can wait for the Xianbei people to retreat to the north, and then use guòzheng zhì means to finally settle with the king of the north.

Han Jian suddenly felt that whether he stayed in Luoyang City or not would have little impact on the current situation. The empress kept him in Luoyang, mainly to prevent the sudden rebellion of the king of the north, and now the king of the north will be at peace for a while, and his stay in Luoyang will be a burden to the court.

Han Jian thought, does this mean that he will return to Jiangdu to be his leisurely little prince soon?

Two days later, on the twelfth day of May, there was a sudden movement at the palace. In the early dynasty, the empress announced the news of the war in the north in public, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while. Only then did the ministers of Luoyang City know that the Xianbei people had already hit their doorstep and would invade south at any time. Soon, this news spread like a spring breeze throughout Luoyang City, and then gradually spread to the north and south of the river, so that everyone in the world knew that the Xianbei people were at war with the Wei Dynasty.

At noon on May 12, Han Jian had just played with Gu Xin'er in the morning, and took Gu Xin'er to Qingxu Yashe for dinner for the first time at noon. saw Yang Xi hurriedly come to ask his opinion, and at this time, the empress still did not make any statement on the matter of opposing the crown prince.

"Young Master Yang...... No, Kang...... Prince, you are not in the palace if you have nothing to do, how can you still have time to come out and walk around? Han Jian looked at Yang Xi with a somewhat cold attitude.

At present, there are two Kang kings in the imperial court, the old Kang Wang and Yang Xi, the new Kang Wang. One of the two is the king of the county, and the other is the prince, in order to distinguish them, Han Jian also knows that in the future, he can't just call one of them King Kang, and he must add the title of prince or county king.

"Brother Han, why are you so angry?" Yang Xi said a little aggrieved, "It's better to call me the same as before, I, King Kang, actually have no real matter." ”

Han Jian smiled, and Yang Xi told the truth. Even if Yang Xi was crowned king, the fief was not implemented for a while, but he was given a mansion and he hadn't moved over, he should be a prince or a prince, and he didn't grow more meat because of the king.

Han Jian glanced at Gu Xin'er and knew that when he was talking to Yang Xi, Gu Xin'er should avoid it. But Han Jian was not so restrained, and just motioned for Yang Xi to step aside to speak. In this way, Han Jian also conveyed a meaning to Yang Xi, what do you want to say, hurry up, I have to go back to eat after I finish speaking.

When the two of them came to the side, Yang Xi said: "Brother Han, you said about the Xianbei people, but what is the good thing to build, you said, I'll go back and tell my sister?" You don't know, my sister has been a little restless about Xianbei people's affairs these days, and I really want to share my sister's worries. ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, if the empress was willing to listen to his opinion, why would he hang him? Let him come out on a date with Gu Xin'er, and he doesn't have to go into the palace to discuss important matters with the empress?

"Young Master Yang, there are some things you should be calmer, no matter how strict the affairs of the Xianbei people are, that is also what the Northern King should deal with, and it can't be involved with the court for the time being." Han Jian said earnestly.

"King of the North? Court? Yang Xi didn't quite understand, he always thought that the Northern King was also the feudal minister of the Wei Dynasty, and now the Xianbei people invaded the Wei Dynasty instead of the Northern King's territory. Now Han Jian directly separates the king of the north from the imperial court, as if the two are two countries.

"Take it easy, you are not in a hurry, you are the greatest support for Your Majesty." Han Jian patted Yang Xi on the shoulder and said something that Yang Xi didn't understand.

Yang Xi wanted to ask something more, but Han Jian said that he was "very busy" and had no time to entertain him again. Yang Xi followed Han Jian's gaze and looked at Gu Xin'er, who was still sitting at the table, as if he understood something, Han Jian was a heavy friend and was not ready to have a long talk with him.

"Then don't bother Brother Han, let's leave first." Yang Xi was a little helpless and was leaving, but he couldn't help but remind, "If Brother Han has anything good, he must find someone to inform me." ”

"Okay, you go first, if I think of a good way, I will definitely sue you." Han Jian said with a smile.

After Yang Xi left, Han Jian's smile sank, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Sue sù you let you go to the empress again to touch the head? You think I'm cheap?

Now Han Jian is holding back a breath of anger in his heart, he used to be bent on helping the empress to calm down the Northern King Party, but now it has really reached the point where the rabbit is not dead and needs to be cooked by the dog. He was only suspicious of Xianbei's motives, and the Empress didn't believe him, which made him feel as if what he had done before made no sense.

Returning to the table, Han Jian explained to Gu Xin'er. Gu Xin'er is also very polite, and she doesn't ask much about things that shouldn't be asked.

The two had lunch alone for the first time, and after eating, Han Jian and Gu Xin'er went out to play. When it was close to dusk in the afternoon, Han Jian sent Gu Xin'er back to the mansion and returned to the annex of the Dongwang Mansion, only to receive the edict, knowing that in the afternoon, the empress had already issued an edict to crown Yang Xi as the crown prince. Compared with the matter of being crowned king two days ago, this time the crown prince was established, and the court was much more low-key. Originally, it was a moment when Xianbei invaded the Central Plains to establish a prince, and it was a bit of a foreign enemy to invade and force the prince to be established, so it was sloppy, and the Manchu dynasty could understand it. On the contrary, at such a time, the crown prince was established, and the opposition of the imperial court was very small, even if it was Yang Xi instead of Yang Yu. Usually it is the consensus of the people of the world that the country has a long monarch, and even in ordinary people's homes, the old man has to hand over the baton, and he will not let the younger son be in charge if the eldest son is not at fault. The empress herself set up Yang Xi, which also means a bit of a waste of growing up and standing young.

The next day, the empress issued an order for the new crown prince to send an envoy to the Qi dynasty. This made some of the ministers who were still a little restless and wanted to write to the empress to let the empress take back the matter of opposing the crown prince, and they also completely calmed down.

When these ministers knew that the empress had appointed the crown prince to let the new prince envoy to Southern Qi, they seemed to understand why the empress wanted to "abolish the elder and establish the young". This is consistent with Su Tingxia's guess when Han Jian first talked to Su Tingxia about this matter, and anyone, including the empress, can also think that a prince with no name is not as important as a domestic prince.

The ministers thought that the empress was doing this to abandon the car and protect the marshal, and throw Yang Xi to Southern Qi in exchange for a stable external environment for the Wei Dynasty to start a war with Xianbei.

Only Han Jian knew that the empress did not just set Yang Xi up as the crown prince to sacrifice Yang Xi, but it was true that the empress wanted to change the external environment to stability, but the empress was targeting the king of the north, not the Xianbei people. (To be continued......)
