Han Jian waited in the East Wangfu for more than an hour before Han Song came back. At this time, it was already afternoon, and Han Jian wanted to know what Han Song's secret conversation with the empress had been talking about for so long, but when Han Song's family came back, he didn't seem to want to say anything.

"Jian'er, Your Majesty has been cultivating for the past few days, you better not bother." Han Songshi said.

Han Jian asked, "Is this the meaning of Majesty, or the meaning of Erniang?" ”

Han Songshi frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand why Han Jian asked such a question, from this expression, Han Jian felt that Han Songshi seemed to have some things that he didn't know at all.

Han Jian continued: "Your Majesty is back, do you want to ask for instructions on official business?" ”

Han Songshi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is coming back this time, it seems that it is not the same as before, anyway, you should not go." Listening to Erniang's words, Majesty is no longer the Majesty of the past, as for where it has changed, it is not easy to say......"

Han Jian heard Han Song's meaning, as if Han Song's was wary of the empress.

Imagine again, Han Jian can probably understand Han Song's thinking, originally the empress is the lord of a country, even if she comes to Jiangdu, there is a clear distinction between monarchs and ministers. But the empress acted like she had nothing to do with herself, and even entrusted her with political affairs, which was no longer in line with her identity and character, which inevitably made Han Song think that at this time, the empress was deliberately showing weakness and preparing to start a power struggle.

Since Han Song didn't let himself go to see the empress, Han Jian naturally wouldn't make another attempt. He didn't know how to face the empress in the first place, for him, the most important thing now is to maintain the stability of Jiangdu, as for the empress after she returns. Whether to go toe-to-toe with him, or continue to maintain a cold and onlooker attitude, it has nothing to do with him for the time being.

However, Han Jian had a high degree of vigilance against Lin Ke in his heart.

If the empress wanted to cultivate some forces to seize power with the Eastern Palace, then Lin Ke would definitely bear the brunt, especially at the moment Lin Ke was still acting as a messenger between the courtiers and the empress. What Han Jian wanted was to suppress the ambitions of Lin Ke and his group first, so that they would obediently obey orders first, and the remaining ministers who were making trouble would be able to keep to themselves and not dare to come out to make trouble.

……

……

As soon as the Empress returned. I didn't see any visitors for several days. On the contrary, Han Jian went to greet the empress, but he didn't see him a few times.

Han Jian also asked the people in the imperial court, and learned that Lin Ke hadn't seen the empress these days. The empress seemed to be in retreat as soon as she returned, if it weren't for the maids of the East Palace's mansion waiting in it. Han Jian knew that the Empress was still there. He didn't think the empress was "missing" again.

For the Empress was again closed to no one. There are still vague rumors outside.

Some people believe that the empress came out to appear before because the East Prince's Mansion temporarily released it. In fact, the empress herself is still under house arrest in the East Palace.

This time, there was nothing to talk about on the side of the court. The main thing is that the people in the court know very well that the empress is now in the palace, although the empress can't avoid people, but the inside and outside of the palace can still occasionally go over to have a look, and they also found that the East Palace's mansion did not send heavy troops to prevent the minister from breaking in to see the empress. And security is just very ordinary, and on a few occasions, some ministers even saw the empress walking alone in the courtyard, just through a door, and the empress went out if she wanted to.

The empress's return to Jiangdu has caused quite a stir in Jiangdu. At the same time, the entire Jiangbei region is also speculating about Jiangdu's next move.

By mid-July, the chaos in Luoyang had reached a point where it was difficult to clean up.

The rebels have caused a lot of chaos in the outer city and suburbs of Luoyang, and the inner city of Luoyang seems to be a lonely city, as if they are waiting for reinforcements from the Northern Wang Army, but at this time, several forces of the Wei Dynasty are watching the situation in Luoyang, and none of them sent troops to help Yang Yu solve the dilemma.

Luoyang is simply to the point of no owner. The people are displaced, today it is a group of "bandits" who come to make trouble, and tomorrow it is a group of "rebels" who come to rob. Even Yang Yu mobilized some soldiers and horses on the Hebei Road to "King Qin", and later, these King Qin's troops also joined the ranks of the rebels.

Luoyang is a piece of fat, even if it can't be taken for yourself, outsiders also covet it. Grab what you can rob, burn what you can't take, and try to destroy what you can't burn so you don't leave it to others.

Yang Yu was just trapped in the inner city of Luoyang, and in the back, Han Jian also heard a lot of rumors about the inner city. Some people say that Yang Yu's subordinates have rebelled, Yang Yu has died, but in fact, the inner city of Luoyang is also in turmoil. It is also said that Yang Yu has fled outside and defected to the Northern Palace, preparing to use the power of the Northern Palaces to maintain his title as the legitimate emperor.

The news that Han Jian got back from the inner city of Luoyang is that the inner city of Luoyang is now the same as before, except that the people are living very hard, and then every day he hopes that the Beiwang army can arrive as soon as possible. And they are afraid that it is not the army of the North King, but the army of the South Wangfu or the West Wangfu.

In troubled times, everyone only seeks to protect themselves. Han Jian knew this very well.

With the tense situation in Luoyang, more people migrated to Jiangdu.

Although Jiangdu has experienced war before, the final victorious side is the East Palace, and now the East Palace is in ruins, and it is the time to recuperate and prepare for long-term development. Whether it is the wealthy nobles and dignitaries around Luoyang, or the ordinary people, they all want to find a stable place to settle down again, and at this time, Jiang Du has become their best choice.

On July 26, Han Jian went to ask the empress to see the empress, so he could only go to the imperial court yamen to have a look.

At this time, Gu Weipan was busy with the problem of receiving refugees in the central and northern regions of the Northern Palace, because the Eastern Wangfu did not give too much power to the imperial court, and Gu Weipan's busy work was almost "blind and busy", and many things could not be approved by the Eastern Palace, even if he was the minister of state, he could not make up his own mind.

"The king of the east came just in time. These days, there are a lot of displaced people in Jiangdu, and they have spent a lot of money and money on resettlement, can you take a look at it, can you allocate some money and grain to resettle the displaced people first? Gu Weipan saw Han Jian, holding a local newspaper in the north-central part of Jiangdu, and said to Han Jian.

"What Mrs. Gu wants to do, just do it." Han Jian said casually, which was equivalent to temporarily handing over the resettlement of the displaced people to Gu Weipan to be responsible, so that Gu Weipan would also have more authority to dispatch the resources on the side of the East Prince's Mansion.

Gu Weipan was comforted and felt that the efforts of these days were not in vain.

Han Jian sat down, and at this time, someone immediately came over to serve tea, but it was Yang Xiuxiu, who had been placed as a handyman foreman before.

"The county lord personally came to serve tea?" Han Jian glanced at Yang Xiuxiu, if he didn't recognize it carefully, he really wouldn't recognize that this was the arrogant county lord of Anping, but like a peasant girl, even her clothes were plain.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East is coming, and the little woman comes out to serve tea in person, why not?" Yang Xiuxiu smiled, as if she was very suitable for the current work, originally Han Jian thought that Yang Xiuxiu would be annoyed with him, "Dongwang and Gu Taifu will talk first, and the little woman will not disturb, so she will retreat first." ”

After that, Yang Xiuxiu left with knowledge and interest, Han Jian pondered it, and really thought that Yang Xiuxiu had changed sex. (To be continued......)
