After dawn, Han Jian was edicted to enter the palace. Outside the Yingtian Gate of the Imperial Palace, a group of ministers had already gathered outside, it was supposed to be the day of the early dynasty, but the empress did not summon the ministers. Although the ministers were in Luoyang City, they did not close their eyes and listen, the news of the war between the imperial army and the Northern Wang army along the Yellow River had reached the ears of the ministers, and they were also talking about it when Han Jian arrived.

"Coming?" Han Jian knocked down Gu Weipan outside Yingtianmen, Gu Weipan seemed to have not slept well all night, the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, and his attitude towards Han Jian was quite friendly.

"Chief Gu, morning." Han Jian greeted with a smile, he also stayed awake all night, compared to Gu Weipan, he was much busier last night. By dawn, Han Jian thought that he would be able to relax, so he was summoned by the palace.

Gu Weipan asked, "What is the situation outside the city now?" ”

"Chief Gu asked the wrong person, how can he know the situation outside when he is in the city? But it seems that the imperial army should have won, at least the rebels of the Northern King did not kill under Luoyang City, right? Chief Gu, under the edict to enter the palace, can not stay for a long time, forgive me. ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, he used the excuse of the empress to summon him and entered the palace first.

When the other ministers saw Han Jian, the originally noisy environment suddenly quieted down, and all the ministers looked at Han Jian.

Last night, Dongwang led his troops to kidnap Lu Fengning, the Tingwei Shaofu, steal the jurisdiction of the Tingwei Mansion, and then steal the military power of the guard station to take over the defense of Beijingmen, and the news has reached these ministers. Although the news outside the city is not well informed at present, the news in the city is not closed, and the ministers now do not know that there is another person who killed Zhou Che, and they still think that it was the East King. Therefore, they looked at Han Jian with a bit of awe and avoidance in their eyes. If the king of the east is not on the side of the rebellion and kills Zhou Che, it will represent Zhou Che to collude with the rebel party, and now the king of the north is plotting rebellion, and the court does not know how many ministers will be implicated, so everyone is in danger.

Han Jian was also a little uneasy in his heart at this time, although the incident of last night was handled properly, but after all, it was an unauthorized action, if the empress turned around and settled the account on his head, then he would still suffer. Fortunately, in the eyes of the empress, she also trusts the East Palace. He had already prepared to mobilize the cavalry of the Eastern King into the city. This also shows that the empress relies heavily on the East Palace. It's just that the animal army entered the city, and he, the little king of the east, didn't know anything about it beforehand, which made him very depressed, and he was the master of the Jiangdu Prefectures.

After Han Jian entered the palace. A graceful woman was waiting in the palace gate for a summons. It was Yang Xiuxiu, the county lord of Anping.

Yang Xiuxiu seems to be in a good mood. Seeing Han Jian, it was rare to smile. According to etiquette, the two met each other, and Yang Xiuxiu came up and said: "Father-in-law Lu died violently last night." Can the East King know? ”

"Grandpa Lu is dead? If it weren't for the county lord to say. I really don't know. Han Jian pretended to be surprised, in fact, he probably guessed that the empress deliberately pretended to have a deteriorating relationship with him in front of people, it should be that there were internal ghosts around him, and Han Jian suspected that Lu Shaokun had a problem at that time. Now Lu Shaokun's death almost confirms this.

"Hmm." Yang Xiuxiu nodded, as if she was not surprised that Han Jian did not know about Lu Shaokun's death, and said, "You were in the city all night last night, and it is not unusual to know what is going on in the palace. You did a good thing last night, and it's up to you to see if you can do it to the end. ”

"What do you mean by this?" Han Jian looked at Yang Xiuxiu and asked.

"Hmph, Dongwang thinks for himself. His Majesty summoned him tightly, the East King is the first courtier to face the saint today, the East King please. ”

Han Jian thought to himself, is Yang Xiuxiu asking him to do things, or is she "coercing" him to do things? said that "did a good deed", it should mean that he arrested Lu Fengning and "did the good thing to the end", is it said that Lu Fengning colluded with the rebel ministers in front of the empress and punished him with death?

If Yang Xiuxiu really meant this, Han Jianxin said that the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart, if you don't want to marry, you don't want to marry, and you want to kill it quickly, do you have any grudges between the two?

Since Yang Xiuxiu didn't say anything, Han Jian naturally wouldn't ask. The empress summoned him tightly, and he had to go to Ye'an Pavilion to see him immediately.

Before arriving at Ye'an Pavilion, the palace guards had increased significantly, and the security level of the palace had been strengthened. Han Jian arrived, and it stands to reason that he could go directly to the courtyard without waiting for the summons, but he was stopped at this time. It wasn't until someone went in to talk to the empress that the empress sent a little eunuch out to spread the word that Han Jian was allowed to enter. The little eunuch directly led Han Jian into the Ye'an Pavilion.

The Empress sat upright in her old seat, her eyes closed as if she were closing her eyes. There was only the little eunuch who took Han Jian in the entire Ye'an Pavilion, and after the little eunuch led Han Jian in, he also got acquainted and retreated, so that only Han Jian and the empress were left in the entire Ye'an Pavilion.

Han Jian looked up at the Empress, who closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep. He didn't know whether he should ask Ann to wake up the empress, or if the empress was recuperating with her eyes closed and didn't sleep at all.

"King Dong, do you know what you did wrong last night?" Han Jian was thinking about things, but the empress suddenly asked.

This voice broke the silence.

"Back to His Majesty, the minister made his own decisions last night and didn't ask His Majesty to play." Han Jian bowed honestly and saluted.

Han Jian had thought a lot before he came, no matter what he did last night was right or wrong, how could he be held accountable by the empress afterwards, which involved the authority of the imperial power. Although he is the king of the east, there are some things that can be done cheaply, but what he did last night was almost a rebellion, and the empress did not say anything afterwards, which is also unreasonable.

"Hmm." To Han Jian's surprise, the empress was not too angry, but her face was very calm and nodded, "Don't take it as an example." ”

Han Jian was even more surprised in his heart, just such a sentence of "don't take it as an example" even if the matter has been revealed? Does that mean that he is encouraged to continue to be so "lawless" in the future?

Or does the empress not want to blame him too much because the king of the north has not been eliminated now, especially the army in the capital of his eastern palace now?

"If you are guilty, you should be punished, and please ask Your Majesty to surrender your guilt." Han Jian pleaded guilty himself.

The empress raised her head slightly, glared at Han Jian, and said, "You are quite acquainted, why didn't you know each other like this before doing things?" Every time, I have to wait for things to be done, and then come to me to sell my goodness, so what do I say? Punish you, the court will naturally know that you are acting without authorization, how can you convince the public with just a small punishment? Are you making it clear that I will be a general, so that I can't punish you, but still coax you to lift you? ”

Han Jian could hear that although the empress said lightly before, and only said "don't make an example", she still had a lot of opinions in her heart about him acting without permission.

Han Jian thought to himself, it's good to have opinions, don't hide your opinions and don't say them, then it's worth playing, maybe waiting for the autumn to settle the general account. Now that I have explained it, although it will cause some embarrassment between the monarch and the minister, it is a heart-to-heart relationship.

"The minister learned that there was a rebellion in the city, and it was going to be unfavorable to His Majesty, and it was too late to present it to His Majesty, so he ...... Make your own decisions......"

The empress glanced at him and said, "It's not honest yet." Are you too late to play to me? You've been planning for a long time about yesterday, haven't you? And you have to deliberately hide it from me, King Dong, King Dong, let me say what is good about you, sometimes don't be too smart. ”

As soon as the empress reprimanded, Han Jian didn't have time to confess, so a little eunuch asked for a meeting at the door.

"What's the matter?" The empress's attitude turned evil, probably because she had ordered her before, no matter who came to see her, she had to wait for her summons, and the little eunuch didn't know the rules and dared to come to disturb.

"Back to His Majesty, it's news from outside the palace, saying that it is the leader of the rebel party who is being escorted to the gate of the palace......"

"Chief?" Han Jian and the empress both secretly thought, isn't it the king of the north? The North King was captured alive?

"Heirs come in." When the empress heard such important news, she didn't bother to talk to a little eunuch, and immediately summoned someone to come in and talk. waited for others to come in, but it was Yu Han from the Department of Caution and Criminal Justice.

As soon as Yu Han entered Ye'an Pavilion, he glanced at Han Jian, saluting the empress but not Han Jian.

Han Jian is not surprised, this is an attitude, the Shen Criminal Division is only responsible for the empress, and when he sees him, the king of the east can turn a blind eye, and the extraordinary period is also said to be in the past.

"What's the matter?" The Empress asked again.

"Hui Majesty, the rebel minister Yang Ru, was ...... Sima Gongzi of the East Wangfu took it and was escorted outside the palace. Yu Han said.

Han Jian was stunned, Sima captured the king of the north alive? This is a rare thing. No wonder Yu Han glanced at him as soon as he came in, it turned out that the matter was related to him.

Han Jian's order last night was to let Sima leave Luoyang with the people who connected with the Northern King, and let the Northern King messenger spread the news, so that these people could be directly done, and the task would be completed. Han Jian couldn't have imagined that Sima Yi actually captured the Northern King alive, and Han Jian didn't understand how he did it?

"Biography." The empress looked grim and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Han withdrew from Ye'an Pavilion and immediately went to the palace gate to spread the word.

The empress glanced up at Han Jian and said, "Your people are quite capable." ”

Originally, it was a compliment, but Han Jian felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and the empress's tone seemed to be a little sarcastic. Could it be that the empress thinks that the king of the north should not be arrested?

Because of the news that the king of the north was suddenly arrested, Han Jian and the empress were silent, and the two of them lived in the same room silently. After a long time of incense, there was some sound outside Ye'an Pavilion, and Sima could hear it from afar with the sound of shouting.

Subsequently, Yu Han appeared in Ye'an Pavilion again.

"Your Majesty, bring it to the rebel." Yu Han said.

"Bring it in." The Queen's Road.

Yu Han withdrew, and soon Sima Yi and several guards from the Eastern Palace, as well as palace guards, jointly pushed a middle-aged man with fluffy hair with his hands tied and walked in. This man is very strong, and although he looks nearly fifty years old, he has the demeanor of a general. When the empress saw this person, she carefully identified the man, and the man wanted to struggle, but Sima borrowed a foot and stepped on the ground.

"Still moving, believe it or not, the master stabbed you with a knife?" Sima said coldly.

"Don't make a mistake!" Han Jian scolded, "Don't give your majesty a salute yet." ”

Only then did Sima remember that this was the palace, and hurriedly saluted and said goodbye. Sima Yi had a wish to enter the palace to see the empress for a long time, but he never fulfilled his wish, but he didn't expect that this time his dream would come true and see the empress with his own eyes.
