Yang Xi was made the crown prince, although it cannot be called the expectation of the public, but it can also serve the public. After all, Yang Xi has been in the limelight in just one or two months, first in fraud cases, and then in corruption and deficit cases, all of which have Yang Xi. However, in these two cases, Yang Xi's limelight was completely covered by Han Jian, as we all know, the leader of these two cases is Dongwang Han Jian, and Yang Xi is only following Dongwang at most. Yang Xi didn't do much.

Therefore, when Yang Xi was established as the crown prince, the most talked about by the outside world was about the two cases handled by Yang Xi, which was about "finding teammates". Outside is saying that Yang Yu doesn't have a good think tank, and he doesn't have a capable helper like Dongwang, so he even lost the position of the prince.

The political atmosphere in Luoyang City is relatively enlightened, and there are many things to talk about after dinner, involving the affairs of the imperial court, as long as it is not a very evasive royal secret, the basic imperial court will not care about the public opinion below. Such talk abounds in Luoyang City, and while the people are cheering for the new prince, they actually don't understand the empress's intentions like officials. Of course, the officials only understood half of the empress's intentions, and the ministers thought that the empress was sacrificing Yang Xi to protect Yang Yu, but Han Jian knew that the empress was going to train Yang Xi to let him come back to be a legitimate prince.

Anyway, Yang Xi was about to leave Luoyang and go south and embark on the road to Nanqi. No matter what, Han Jian will not be by his side, because Han Jian is the king of the feudal territory after all, and he will not be a member of the envoy team, which involves a lot of political issues. It is difficult for the king of the feudal county to be an envoy, the empress is at ease with him, and others are not at ease with him. Who knows if the king of the east will collude with the people of the Southern Qi when he goes to the Southern Qi? But the crown prince is different, the prince and the emperor are of the same heart.

Yang Xi was made the crown prince, and Han Jiantong's investigation in all aspects showed that Yang Yu's reaction was very flat, or there was no excesses. seems to have acquiesced to the fact that Yang Xi was the crown prince.

Yang Yu is older than Yang Xi, and has his own disciples and helpers, and his people should be able to clearly analyze the current situation, who will be the prince and who will be the hostage. Originally, this shape was not so clear, but after the invasion of the Xianbei people, Yang Xi's purpose of sending an envoy to Southern Qi was more obvious. This is a clear mission with no return. Yang Yu no longer wants to be the crown prince, and he doesn't want to be a caged bird in an enemy country like Nanqi. As for whether Yang Yu expected his younger brother to die in Nanqi, Han Jian couldn't say, although Yang Yu had his immature side in doing things. But at least he didn't turn his immaturity into viciousness. It may be that the empress's discipline of her two younger brothers is appropriate. The two brothers still maintain a harmonious relationship.

The canonization of the crown prince was a major event in the Wei Dynasty, and the empress had been on the throne for seventeen years. During these seventeen years, the empress remained unmarried. So much so that the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Dynasty were worried about the future heir of the Wei Dynasty for seventeen years, and now it seems that the dust has settled, and the empress has set up her younger brother as the crown prince, which is equivalent to saying that the crown prince will still be passed on among the male members of the Yang family, and will not be passed on to the collateral bloodline.

On May 12, the crown prince was established, and on May 13, Zhu Tongjing, the envoy of the Southern Qi Dynasty, submitted a letter to the empress of the Wei Dynasty and requested that the new crown prince of the Wei Dynasty be the envoy to the Southern Qi Dynasty to deepen the relations between the two countries. And the empress also said in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty that she would send the crown prince as an envoy, so that the entire court was harmonious. The entire Wei Dynasty seems to have accepted a reality, that is, the new prince was set up for the envoy, and as for the new prince coming back from the Southern Qi envoy, it seems that no one will think about it, and it seems to be a matter of course.

On May 14, the empress sent the king of Yanning County as an envoy to escort a batch of money and grain to the north to help the king resist the invasion of the Xianbei people.

This batch of money and food was basically copied back by Han Jian from the corruption and deficit case, the court was not distressed, and Han Jian was even less distressed. Fortunately, the empress was also measured, and did not "return" all the confiscated money and grain to the king of the north, but only escorted two or three percent, but even so, there were several million taels of silver, which was enough to fight a big battle.

The empress also had a lot of money this time, taking out millions of taels of silver to start a war at a time, and it only took a few days to send people to escort the money and food on the road, which can be described as very fast. Even the king of the north probably didn't expect that the empress would send someone to transport money and grain to the north so quickly.

As for the selection of escort candidates, Han Jian felt that there was a lot of article in it, the empress did not send others, but sent the "idle king" who has always been recognized by the Wei Dynasty as the "idle king" to go, this is to outsiders, I attach great importance to this matter, and even find a county king to escort. But outsiders will also think, who can't find the king of Yanning County, isn't the empress afraid that the king of Yanning County will collude with the king of the north or the Xianbei people?

Only Han Jian saw some clues, and the empress had a layer of intention behind this, which was to temporarily send the king of Yanning County out of Luoyang. Han Jian thought at first, could it be that the empress also suspected that the corruption and deficit case was related to the king of Yanning County, and sent him to keep him away from the imperial court, like exile? Later, Han Jian figured out that the empress sent the king of Yanning County, which seemed to have made a move in Luoyang City, and the empress just wanted to "get in the way" when she performed this action. As for what the empress is going to do, Han Jian has not guessed or investigated it for the time being, but as time goes by, the truth of the matter will gradually surface.

Subsequently, May 15. Only three days after Yang Xi was appointed as the crown prince, Yang Xi, as an envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was about to leave Luoyang and set off for Southern Qi to officially launch a "friendly visit".

Because Han Jian has been indifferent to the world since the tenth day of the fifth month. So much so that some of the details of the envoy were not learned from the court's list until May 15.

The lineup of envoys of the Wei Dynasty this time is also strong, the new prince is the main envoy, and there are many famous officials from the Ministry of Rites and the East and West Pavilions below, and the empress also sent a cavalry to escort all the way. In addition, the post stations along the way are open, and the accompanying passengers are all according to the standard of the prince of the prison state, and the officials along the way must receive them.

Han Jian thought to himself that where was the prince's envoy, it was clearly the emperor's patrol. Yang Xi went to be a proton, and having such treatment can be regarded as a return to the ticket price. Yang Xi may be able to enjoy a few days of good life in the territory of the Wei Dynasty, and when he arrives in Southern Qi, he may also have a few days of good life, and then in the future, Yang Xi's life will be very difficult.

The departure of the prince's envoy and his entourage was scheduled for noon on May 15. The Empress sent her off in person.

Originally, Han Jian, as the king of the east, had to go to send the prince on an envoy, but because Han Jian had been "calling sick" since before, the empress seemed to be very "understanding", and actually "crossed out" him in the send-off list, so Yang Xi sent an envoy, and Han Jian, an old friend, didn't have to send him off. Han Jian also felt a little awkward in his heart, as if his old friend was about to embark on a road of no return, and he didn't even have a chance to see him for the last time.

Sima Yi was a little gloating when he learned that Yang Xi was on the envoy, and said: "Yang Gongzi became the prince all of a sudden, I'm afraid he won't have this blessing." Fortunately, His Majesty didn't send the young prince to send an envoy together, otherwise we would have to go to that ghost place in the Qi Dynasty, and we wouldn't be able to come back! ”

Because the Wei Dynasty has always preached how hard the people of the Qi Dynasty lived, the Wei Dynasty wanted to "liberate" them, so in Sima Yi's eyes, the Qi Dynasty was also a "ghost place". Only Han Jian could guess the prosperity of Southern Qi. After all, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, the wealth of the Southern Qi is not enough to be imagined by the northerners, Han Jian even thought before that it might be better for him to be reincarnated as the county king of the Southern Qi Dynasty than to be the county king of the Wei Dynasty, although the Jiangdu is also rich, but it is still not as good as the Jiangnan.

Regarding Sima Yi's schadenfreude, Han Jian had no intention of paying attention to it. What he was thinking about now was when the empress would completely break with the king of the north, and only when the great trouble of the king of the north would Yang Xi have a chance to return from the southern Qi. Before this, what would happen to the imperial court, Han Jian couldn't guess. Now that there is such a variable as the invasion of the Xianbei people, the future will be even more confusing.

Under the expectations of the public, Yang Xi became an envoy of the Wei Dynasty and set off on May 15. Han Jian didn't go to see him off, but he couldn't find anything to do.

Han Jian thought that he could continue to be idle, until the empress felt that he might be too idle and sent him back to Jiangdu. On the night of Yang Xi's envoy, someone came to the palace and passed the empress's oral message that Han Jian was allowed to enter the palace.

"Young boy, why did you suddenly find it now? Could it be that something has changed in the course of the war in the north? After learning the news, Sima Yu hurriedly came over to see Han Jian.

When Han Jian learned that it was Gonggong Lu who came to deliver the message, he felt that the matter should not be small. It could be a signal from the empress to ease relations. Han Jian had some affection in the Hanli Palace that day, and the empress also felt it, if the empress didn't care about it all the time, Han Jian would also feel that the empress was very incompetent. It's not yet to the point where the bird is hiding its bow, and you treat your ministers like this, how can this be regarded as the act of Mingjun?

"Don't think about it, I'll talk about it when I get back." Han Jian said a word, and entered the palace with Lu Shaokun.

On the way, Han Jian didn't say a word to Lu Shaokun, and Lu Shaokun wanted to talk to Han Jian several times, but in the end he stopped talking. Han Jian knew that Lu Shaokun was an important chess piece by the empress's side, as for whether Lu Shaokun was selfish, Han Jian did not investigate, only knew that qualified Lu Shaokun was a little radical and involved with many officials in the imperial court.

When he arrived at the palace, Han Jian went directly to Ye'an Pavilion. Since Han Jian came to Luoyang, he has come to places like Ye'an Pavilion many times.

Han Jian thought that the empress was summoned alone, but when he arrived in front of Ye'an Pavilion, he realized that it was not. When he arrived, there was just one person walking out of Ye'an Pavilion, and his steps were light and dexterous, and it was Yang Xiuxiu, the county lord of Anping, who was not so "friendly" with Han Jian.

Yang Xiuxiu heard the oncoming footsteps, glanced up, and saw that it was Han Jian who frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little annoyed. But she didn't say anything, just snorted lightly, and passed by Han Jian with a quick pace.

Han Jian smiled slanderously in his heart, he knew what the empress was talking to Yang Xiuxiu, he had investigated, Yang Xiuxiu's husband's family was already "forcing marriage" to Yang Xiuxiu. (To be continued......)
