Chapter 403: Cutting off the wings
After a meal, the empress can be said to be silent. Silence is golden, the empress is silent, and Han Jian is not easy to talk to.
Han Jian didn't change at all, but it made him have a hint of delusion, could it be that the empress's tongue was broken, and she didn't even eat the "tricks" in the dish?
The meal looked rich, but the table was much more dull than expected, there was no drink, no singing and dancing, and it was a completely muffled meal. In the presence of the empress, many people couldn't eat comfortably, and after eating a meal, Han Jian felt that he was barely half-full.
The feast was withdrawn and tea was served. At this time, it was just time for the last watch, and the empress was about to leave under the pretext of being tired.
"Your Majesty, the minister will accompany you back to the palace." Han Jian volunteered to step forward.
To outsiders, Han Jian was just doing his duty as a courtier to escort the empress back. But when the empress heard this, she frowned slightly, Han Jian's words obviously hinted at her.
"The king of the east has a heart, and I will go back by myself. You still send Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu home. The Empress smiled naturally.
Gu Weipan saluted and said: "The old minister is ashamed and dare not be, and the king of the east still escorts His Majesty first." ”
Han Jian didn't expect Gu Weipan to be so "acquainted" at this time, mainly because Gu Weipan didn't know what he thought about the empress.
When the empress heard Gu Weipan say this, no matter how much she wanted to refuse, it seemed that it was difficult to speak.
Seeing Han Jian with a little smile on her face, the empress felt a little angry in her heart, where was this to escort her away, it was simply to coerce, if on the way or to the dormitory, Han Jian did something "wrong", she really didn't know how to deal with it. Although she is confident in martial arts. is much better than Han Jian, but once he starts to do it, things are not so easy to calm down.
Han Jian confessed to Han Song's family, and then went out of the gate of the East Palace. At this time, the sedan chair of the Gu Mansion and the empress's Luan were waiting, and there were also many people from Jiangdu watching, but because of the obstruction of the guards of the East Palace, the onlookers could only retreat to a hundred steps away, and could not approach the main gate of the East Palace.
"Your Majesty, please come up." Han Jian bowed with a smile.
The Empress suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Say more." Believe it or not, I'm stepping on you? ”
"Huh?" Han Jian was not very "right" when he heard this. There was a bit of menace in his tone, as if he was joking. However, the stern expression of the empress's face showed that the empress was not joking with him.
Han Jian smiled awkwardly and stepped aside, he didn't want to really be the empress's stool.
Wait for the empress to go to the throne. Han Jian got on his horse and followed. Escorted by a line of guards. It caused quite a stir along the way.
The people of Jiangdu came out to watch, and when they saw the empress's Luan driving and the mount of the East King, they were all a little excited.
Wait for the empress's Luan to return to the palace. Han Jian dismounted and personally stepped forward to help the empress to get off the road.
Han Jian stretched out his hand, but the empress didn't help. Han Jian looked a little embarrassed again, and then the empress landed very lightly, Han Jian felt as if the empress was reminding him that I had martial arts!
Han Jian was not afraid of this, he sent the empress back to the palace, more of a gesture to break some rumors in the city about the disagreement between the king of the east and the empress. As for his relationship with the empress, he also knew that he couldn't rush it, but he was still relatively "scoundrel", and he felt that only in this way would he have more chances.
Han Jian personally accompanied the empress to the mansion, and when a few palace maids came out of the palace, the empress also wanted to go in, but at this time Han Jian still had no intention of staying.
"King Dong, what do you think of the beauty I gave you?" The Empress asked suddenly.
Han Jian felt a little harsh at the word "beauty", and said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful a beauty is, it is not what the minister hopes after all." What the minister is worried about in his heart, must be very clear. ”
"Really?" The empress glared at Han Jian and said, "You go back." I'm going to go in and rest, it's fine, don't just come and disturb me. ”
"The minister still has some things, and I want to report to His Majesty." Han Jian was still very persistent.
The empress looked at it, and at this time, some of the courtiers who were on duty at night were also in the main courtyard of the mansion, all watching her enter the palace. At this time, Han Jian used official business to "bother" her, she knew very well that Han Jian just wanted to pretend to be public and private, but it was not easy to refuse. But she still wouldn't give Han Jian a chance to enter her bedroom.
"Go outside and talk about it." The Queen's Road.
"No, you don't." Han Jian said, "It's okay for the minister to say it here." ”
The empress looked at Han Jian, nodded slightly, and said, "You say." ”
"Your Majesty, please play, build a palace for Your Majesty, which can make Your Majesty's residence more comfortable." Han Jian said loudly.
The empress frowned, this is the report that Han Jian seems to be fine? It sounded like a flattery, she should have refused on the spot, but she was afraid that she would refuse to fall directly into Han Jian's "trap", she knew Han Jian's character to some extent, and Han Jian's "insidiousness" was immeasurable.
"We'll talk about it later. I don't need any comfort for the time being, what is more important is to eradicate the traitors as soon as possible and re-establish the country of my Wei Dynasty. The Empress said sternly.
As she spoke, the empress turned around and was about to go to the palace, when Han Jian said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play." ”
"Anything else? Can you finish it all at once? The Empress turned around and looked at Han Jian with some impatience.
"The minister just wants to tell his majesty, and the minister will come to ask for peace tomorrow." Han Jian said with a smile.
The empress was a little angry on the spot, knowing that Han Jian was looking for trouble, but in public, she couldn't directly reprimand Han Jian, so she could only play sloppy with him like this. She knew Han Jian's intentions very well, anyway, she just wanted to use an opportunity to get close to her and achieve the goal of pursuit.
"Hmm." The empress nodded slightly, "Does the East King have anything else?" ”
Han Jian smiled and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is nothing else to do." ”
The empress parted, glared at Han Jian again, and then returned to the palace. Han Jian was really honest this time, he didn't say anything, he stood there, and waited until he saw the empress enter the dormitory, then he turned around and came back, wanting to go back to the East Palace.
A family banquet, Han Jian felt that this was a "rehearsal", sooner or later the empress would become a "family" with him, and it would be good to get used to the living conditions of the East Prince's Mansion earlier. Han Jian originally planned to stay with the empress in the East Palace, but in the end he did not make the trip, which is also a shortcoming in today's family banquet.
Han Jian came out of the mansion and did not return to the Dongwang Mansion, but turned around and went to Daxiliu's secret stronghold in Jiangdu City.
Han Jian didn't bring many people, but they were all his personal companions, and they didn't attract anyone's attention along the way. However, Han Jian didn't dare to take it lightly, he also knew that as long as he went to Daxiliu, Daxiliu would have to change the "base area", which was also the habit of Mrs. Luo's people.
"Say hello to the young man." Onishiliu saw Han Jian and saluted respectfully.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Jiangdu City is very lively, comparable to Luoyang City. Han Jian stood at the window, looked at the lively scene outside the window, turned around and said, "What you asked you to check, is there any news?" ”
"Back to the young son, the matter of sending troops from the north has now become eyebrow-raising." Daxiliu replied, "The Northern Wangfu said that it was to rescue Luoyang, but it only sent 2,000 soldiers and horses, and it did not cross the Yellow River. The news of the Xiwangfu sending troops is true, there are about forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, and the speed of the march is slow, so it should still be waiting to see the situation in Luoyang. ”
"Hmm." Han Jian nodded slightly.
This information, based on the results of various aspects, can also be basically determined. The Western Wangfu and the Northern Wangfu sent troops to Luoyang, but there was no actual movement, and they were all observing the further changes in the current situation in Luoyang.
Taking advantage of the chaos to pick up cheap is the idea of Yang Pingju, the king of the West. Yang Pingju has also been regarded as "Taoguang Yanghui" over the years, in addition to suppressing the rebellion of the old Xiliang Department in the territory, the territory of the Western Capital is also generally calm. At this time, he had already stolen Chang'an City, and the entire Guanzhong fell into his hands, so it can be said that he already had the conditions to occupy the mountain as the king. Since ancient times, those who have won the pass have won the world, and with the pass, which can be attacked, retreated, and defended, Yang Pingju has no reason to be in a hurry.
As for the Northern King, the arrangement to send troops was only to counterbalance the influence of the Western Palace's troops.
This time, the Xiwangfu sent troops to fight the slogan of King Qin, and the king of Qin was not the empress of Jiangdu, but Yang Yu in Luoyang City. At this time, Yang Ke, who was originally in the united front with Yang Yu, if he did not make some arrangements, it would only make Yang Yu and his party completely disappointed in Yang Ke, maybe Yang Yugou jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the wolf would be lured into the room, and when the Xiwang army entered Luoyang City, it would be even more difficult for the Northern Wangfu to capture Luoyang.
"As for the Criminal Division, how are you investigating?" Han Jian knew the situation in Luoyang well, and Daxiliu could not bring him more valuable information, but he was more concerned with the operation of the system of the Criminal Division.
Although the system of the Shen Criminal Division is supposed to be the system of the imperial court, now that he is the prison state of the Wei Dynasty, that qiē should also be under his control. But in fact, this system is only nominally serving the Eastern Palace, but in fact, it has always been the empress behind the scenes. And two hours ago, when Han Jian realized that the empress was not the only one by her side, Yi Die, and he felt that there might be someone else in charge of the Shen Criminal Division system, and this person might be the mysterious Ling Jun, the deputy chief minister of the Shangting Division. Han Jian suddenly felt a sword hanging over his head.
The most important thing is that Han Jian feels that since he wants to pursue the empress, he must cut off all the other helpers around the empress except himself, only in this way will the empress feel lonely and helpless, and then the empress will think whether she should "obey him".
"Back to the young son, Yi Buku has made these days, not to find His Majesty, but to ......"
Onishi Ryu stepped forward and whispered in Han Jian's ear, and Han Jian's expression then turned cold.
"You mean, Yi Buku, went to find some Jianghu people?" Han Jian frowned and asked.
"Yes." Onishiyanagi replied.
Han Jian smiled coldly, he began to feel that things were a little interesting.
Originally, he thought that Yi Die left with his baggage at that time to find the whereabouts of the empress. Or to meet some important person, and this character should be related to the system of the Criminal Division. But he never expected that Yi Die would still be involved with people in the rivers and lakes, and these people are not people in the chaotic party, but some unknown organizations.
