When Han Zhao returned, Fa Yi was about to say goodbye and leave. One is Han Jian's mentor, and the other is his Jiuniang, the two have had some disagreements since they met, and Han Jian doesn't know which side to help. Fortunately, there was no war between the two women, and they were polite on the surface.

"Jian'er, you entered the palace earlier, it's important to get down to business." Han Zhao said to Han Jian after greeting Fa Yi.

Han Jian sighed helplessly, he didn't know the specific purpose of Han Zhao's return. However, at the moment when the empress summoned and was about to announce the major event of the knighthood of the two princes, it was indeed unreasonable for him to stay with Fa and eat as the king of the east.

"Jiuniang, I entered the palace with my husband. Multiple on the road to take care of. Han Jian said.

Han Zhao didn't say anything, but Fa Yi said: "If you have something, you have to leave first." ”

After speaking, he didn't even give Han Jian a chance to stay, so he flew away. Han Jian wanted to chase after him, but Fa Ye had already disappeared into the night.

Han Jianxin said that it was really not the right time for Jiuniang to come, and Shengsheng "forced" Fa Ye away. Originally, he proposed to enter the palace together, but Fa did not refuse.

He didn't understand that when Fa Yi first came to Jiangdu to teach him studies, she got along very well with Han Jian's aunts. But later, the aunts never mentioned Fa Yi in front of Han Jian, as if they had forgotten Fa Yi for life.

Han Jian walked on the way to the palace with a little loss.

Outside the main gate of the Imperial Palace, many ministers were waiting for the summons. This time, the empress summoned not only the prince, but also the ministers in Luoyang. Han Jian thought that the announcement this time would not be simple, and it was likely that while knighting the two princes, he would also announce the selection of the crown prince.

Han Fitness is the king of the East. Go directly to the palace and don't have to wait at the palace gate. When he entered the palace and walked a short distance, he saw the figure of the king of Yanning County. At this time, the king of Yanning County was talking to the county lord of Anping, and when he saw Han Jian coming, the king of Yanning snorted coldly, and Yang Xiuxiu, the county lord of Anping, was very polite.

"The two of you were also summoned to the palace by Your Majesty?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

The king of Yanning threw his sleeves away, looking very ungraceful. However, Han Jian also knew that the other party was worried about his burning of the Junwang Mansion, although Yang Xiuxiu had also heard about the fire earlier, and also heard rumors outside that the fire might have been set by the East King. But she didn't believe that the dignified East King would do murder and arson.

Yang Xiuxiu said: "His Royal Highness the East King." His Majesty summoned us and others only to announce the appointment of the two princes as kings. But I don't know why this matter was chosen at night, I don't know if the king of the east knows the details? ”

Han Jianxin said that the matter of sealing the king must be in the daytime? When will it be announced differently? The empress was in such a hurry to announce, naturally she had a reason. What do you need outsiders to do?

That's what I thought. But that can't be said. Han Jian smiled and said, "Probably only by asking His Majesty Xià will know." ”

Yang Xiuxiu glared at Han Jian. probably felt that Han Jian knew but didn't say anything in his heart, and deliberately hid something.

As the two were talking, a group of ministers walked in together. Han Jian recognized several of them as officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"County Lord, might as well take a few quick steps?" Han Jian suddenly said to Yang Xiuxiu.

"Huh?" Yang Xiuxiu looked puzzled.

Han Jian pointed to the minister who came from a distance and said, "There are so many people, if you want to see them one by one, it is better to pretend that you didn't see them." I'm afraid it's your majesty to blame if you're late. ”

As he spoke, Han Jian had already quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Ye'an Pavilion. And Yang Xiuxiu frowned, saying in her heart that Dongwang's eyes were above the top, and she didn't bother to greet those ministers, so she urged her to take a few steps quickly.

"Speaking of which, the East King still gives me face and stops and says a few words?" Yang Xiuxiu was a little annoyed and thought, "Who are these people?" People are not big, but they are ghostly. ”

After all, Yang Xiuxiu is six or seven years older than Han Jian, and being Han Jian is an unenlightened child, it is also the relationship between her family and her younger sisters. She always disciplines her younger siblings as an older sister, and Han Jian is not a few years older than her younger siblings, so she is a little prejudiced against Han Jian.

Before arriving at Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian knew that there had been a minister who had arrived at Ye'an Pavilion before them. This time, the empress wanted to announce the knighthood of Yang Yu and Yang Xi, but she did not announce the news in the main hall, and together with the meeting with the ministers, she was also summoned in such a private place as Ye'an Pavilion. Han Jian asked the eunuch in front of the Ye'an Pavilion and knew that there were already several ministers inside, several important ministers in the current court, the first auxiliary minister and the fourth auxiliary minister were all inside, and Gu Weipan, the chief minister of the Shangting Office, was also among them. In addition, there is also the prime minister of the Wei Dynasty who Han Jian only heard his name but did not know who he was, and the secretary and the secretary of the prison were the servants of the same Zhongshu Men Pingzhangshi, and the Taifu Shang Shao Ming was among them.

"What's going on inside?" Han Jian asked Lu Shaokun, the great eunuch on the side.

Lu Shaokun said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the East King wants to know, why don't you go in and listen?" His Majesty said that when the king of the east and the lord of Anping came over, they could enter directly without passing it on. ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "How good is this, it's better to bother Father-in-law Lu to go in and spread the word." lest the ministers inside say that we don't understand the rules. ”

Yang Xiuxiu glanced at Han Jian, as if she was blaming him for saying "we", so she had to pull the two together.

Lu Shaokun nodded, and hurriedly entered the Ye'an Pavilion to pass the word, and it didn't take long for Lu Shaokun to come out and say to Han Jian and Yang Xiuxiu: "Two, go in quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time." ”

Han Jian and Yang Xiuxiu greeted Lu Shaokun first, and then entered Ye'an Pavilion one after the other. At this time, the lights in the Ye'an Pavilion were bright, and more than a dozen ministers stood in several rows, and the King of Yanning County, who was on the same level as Han Jian and had a prince, stood to the side, indicating the difference between him and those ministers.

"Lord Anping, we ...... Where should I stand? Entering Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian asked Yang Xiuxiu in a low voice with a smile.

Yang Xiuxiu didn't speak, and stood directly beside the king of Yanning County. Han Jian was stunned, he didn't stand next to the king of Yanning County, but stood directly behind the ministers. This made those ministers uncomfortable, and instead gave up their positions, allowing Han Jian to face the empress directly.

"King Dong, come to the front and speak." The Empress looked up at the scene and spoke.

Han Jian bowed, and then walked in front of the ministers. This is the rule of the court, and the official university stands forward. If Han Jian deliberately stood in the back, it was a bit embarrassing for those ministers, and the ministers got out of the way first, that is, to let the empress see Han Jian and summon him to the front.

"Please give your majesty a greeting." Han Jian saluted.

The Empress nodded, but did not answer. Turning to several ministers, he said, "Do you still have any objections to this matter?" ”

Han Jian glanced at the ministers, Gu Weipan was only standing behind one person, that is to say, he, the chief minister of the Upper Listening Department, was the "second-in-command" of the court ministers, and belonged to the first auxiliary minister. And there was only one person in front of him, Han Jian had been to the main hall before, and he had seen several ministers, but he had never seen this minister standing at the head.

Shang Shaoming, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, served as prime minister for more than six years and was the third prime minister after the empress ascended the throne. Now Shang Shaoming is almost sixty years old, he can't be called old, it's just a feeling of old eyes and dizziness, a wilted old man stands there, thin and thin, like a bamboo pole with a layer of skin on the outside, like a scarecrow. Han Jianxin said that since people are thin, they will pass on a smaller court uniform, why do they dress like zombies? If you see such a person in the dark night, you have to think it's a ghost.

At this time, Shao Ming held an edict in his hand, opened it with a little trembling, and read it again before he replied on behalf of the ministers: "Your Majesty...... No objection. ”

Listening to his tone, it seemed to say, "Your Majesty, there is no point in you doing this." Han Jian thought to himself, probably Shang Shaoming also knew that his words were not good, so he said them so "refined".

Han Jian glanced at Gu Weipan again, and said in his heart that this Shang Shaoming might burp at some point, isn't it a matter of day and night for Old Man Gu to be the right person?

Gu Weipan is the prime minister, which cannot be regarded as a good thing for him. This will only make Gu Weipan more arrogant, and maybe it will prevent him from pursuing Gu Xin'er further. But if he really marries Gu Xin'er, maybe this is a good thing, and in the future, the old man will be the prime minister, and he will have more care in the court. Although Han Jian knew that even if there was a day, Gu Weipan would be good if he didn't pull him back, let alone any "care".

When the empress heard Shang Shaoming's words, she said, "Since this is the case, this matter is so decided. After the sacrifice to the Taimiao, he will proclaim to the world. ”

Although the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Dynasty were also harmonious, when faced with such a major event, the ministers still had to kneel down and salute together, saying "My emperor is shengming". Han Jian sighed, what do you say, there is no human right to come late, and I don't even know what the content of the edict is. Although there is no doubt that the two princes will be crowned kings, is the matter of the prince decided or not?

"King Dong, do you still have doubts?" The Empress asked suddenly.

"Huh? I didn't ......" Han Jian glanced around, except for him, who was already kneeling on the ground. Even Yang Xiuxiu, who came in with him and didn't know the content of the edict, followed the crowd, but he was still standing on the spot.

"Your Majesty." Han Jian added that he wanted to kneel, but the empress signaled that he didn't have to kneel. By this time the other ministers had begun to get up.

The empress seemed to grasp Han Jian's psychology and knew the doubts in his heart, so she said in public: "In this way, the two princes will be crowned as the princes, the third prince Yu will be the king of Ji, the sixth prince Xi will be the king of Kang, and the prince of Zhengyipin will be the prince." As for the matter of the crown prince, it will be discussed as appropriate. ”

Only then did Han Jian know that the empress only announced that the two princes had been crowned kings tonight, and did not mention the selection of the crown prince. But the empress also seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and finally added that the prince's matter would be discussed as appropriate. How much discretion is this "discretionary"?

Because there were too many people who wanted to listen to the empress's announcement this time, Han Jian only knew about it as the first batch of ministers, and he didn't have time to call the empress alone. When the empress has finished announcing the matter, the first batch of ministers can go out, and the second group of ministers will come in and make another announcement, but the latter is already a pure announcement, and the empress will no longer ask for advice.

Han Jian came out, the night was already very dark, and the empress had no special instructions, he didn't know whether to leave the palace and return to the house, or wait here to wait for the matter to end before talking to the empress.

"Brother Han, Brother Han......"

At this moment, a person beckoned to Han Jian from behind the wall, it was Yang Xi who Han Jian had never seen these days. (To be continued......)
