Gongsun Shu smiled and took out something from his arms and showed it in front of Ning Yuan, and Ning Yuan's expression turned cold after seeing it. He had seen this thing before, and it was used by the people of Prince Yan Ning's faction to contact him. Ning Yuan had done a lot of things for these people, but Ning Yuan had done a good job of withdrawing from himself, even if he had done a lot of things, he could still "get out of the way", and those people also promised him not to contact him again, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him could appear so blatantly in front of the main gate of the palace, if Han Jian happened to bump into him when he left the palace at this time, then he would be speechless.

"Borrow a step to speak." Ning Yuan said with a dark face, he was in front, Gongsun Shu was behind, and after the two walked out of the main gate of the palace for dozens of steps, Ning Yuan stopped. The palace was already about to close, Ning Yuan glanced at the bright place, and then turned to look at Gongsun Shudao, "Your Excellency has a good ability to dare to come to the palace." But I don't know that now the lintels of the imperial court have been changed, the Son of Heaven has changed hands, and you still have a way to live when you are bumped into by the Son of Heaven? ”

Gongsun Shu smiled: "It's because Taishi Ning is worried that he has no way to live, right?" ”

Ning Yuan snorted coldly and said, "What's the matter, you just have to say it!" Some things can be helped, but if they can't be helped, there is no discussion now. This official is different now, and if you threaten you with the past, you can only come. ”

Gongsun Shu laughed and said, "It seems that Taishi Ning has no fear, but he thinks that he can be unscrupulous under one person now?" You must know that even if the emperor leaves Luoyang tomorrow, Ning Taishi still has a lot of constraints on his head, not to mention a few women in the Dongwang Mansion and the palace, even the Wu Shogunate can make Ning Taishi breathless. If the emperor comes back in person, no matter whether it succeeds or fails. Ning Taishi's position as the first assistant is also about to change hands! ”

Ning Yuan looked at Gongsun Shu, and he was also guessing the purpose of Gongsun Shu's coming. Those people hadn't contacted him for a long time before, and now it's not too soon, not too late. However, when Han Jian ascended the throne and was about to come to him before the imperial expedition, it was nothing more than to gain some power and convenience in Luoyang. But he couldn't figure it out, wouldn't it be better if he waited for Han Jian to leave and then came to him?

Ning Yuan said: "These words, this official doesn't want to talk to you. This official also asks you, the vacancy in the official position of Shangshutai you mentioned, do you want to fill the vacancy through the recommendation of this official? Still is...... You already have someone behind your back who has paved the way for you. You're just here to give some explanations to the official? ”

"Definitely." Gongsun Shu said with a smile, "Taishi Ning thinks that the lower officials are just here to receive the lack of officials?" In fact, not really, in fact, His Majesty asked him to come down to find Master Ning. As for the reason, His Majesty did not say much. Therefore, Ning Taishi can rest assured that he will not threaten Ning Taishi in the future, after His Majesty's personal conquest. He will also assist Taishi Ning in handling the affairs of Jiangbei. Today, I'm just here to say hello to Master Ning. Let Master Ning know that there is such a person in the next place. ”

Ning Yuan looked at this young descendant who spoke lightly and seemed to be very relaxed, and the "Your Majesty" in his mouth was needless to say that it was the newly enthroned Han Jian. But the question is, how could Han Jian appoint a traitor from Prince Yan Ning's faction as his right and left hand? is so young, either he is really talented, or Han Jian already knows something, and he deliberately found this person to test him? He has always been careful, if Han Jian suspects anyone, he can do it. Or do not move, after all, Han Jian will go on the expedition tomorrow. Isn't revealing the truth to him now to force him to rebel? So it should be that Han Jian didn't know the identity of this person at all, and this person got to Han Jian through some of his own means.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan asked, "What position did Your Excellency originally hold in the Eastern Prince's Mansion?" ”

Gongsun Shu replied respectfully: "Former military captain." ”

Ning Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, this is still a military position, the former military captain said that it is not big, it is just a captain, but it is still a staff system in the army, and Han Jian's trusted staff members arranged him as Shangshutaicheng, which is equivalent to planting eyeliner to monitor him in Shangshutai, which can be regarded as some surveillance made by Han Jian in advance. Ning Yuan sneered: "It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't know your identity. ”

Gongsun Shu nodded and said, "That's true." If Your Majesty knows my identity, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to Master Ning here with peace of mind. If there is something I don't understand in the future, I hope that Master Ning will mention it more. ”

Ning Yuan remembered some of the words that Gongsun Shu said before, and it seemed that in this Gongsun Shu's heart, he did not regard Han Jian as an emperor at all, but was another effective loyalty. As for who is at the helm of Prince Yan Ning's faction now, even if he has colluded with these people, he doesn't know anything about it. Now that Gongsun Shu is by his side, he thinks that he must be careful everywhere, he originally thought that he had completely dissociated himself from the people of Prince Yan Ning's faction, but now it seems that he still wants to dance with wolves, if he is not careful, even if Han Jian is in the north, he can also order someone to take his life thousands of miles away.

Gongsun Shu said: "The lord has confessed, and I hope that Taishi Ning will help open the gap in the Wu Shogunate." If it happens, no matter what Master Ning wants to get, the Lord can help him accomplish it. ”

Ning Yuan sneered: "This official is now among the first assistants, why not?" And with your giveness? ”

After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he didn't want to stay in front of the palace any longer. He also regretted a little in his heart that he had colluded with the people of Prince Yan Ning's faction, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, these people come to the door, he is afraid that the matter will be revealed, he still has to endure and obey orders, now he not only has a spell from Han Jian on his head, but also has more restrictions from these people, and he feels even more aggrieved in his heart.

Waiting for Ning Yuan to return to the house, Gongsun Shu did not leave in a hurry, but smiled and went to the entrance of the palace. Originally, the palace gate had been closed, but the soldiers on the city tower saw that it was him, but they opened the gate.

"Mr. Gongsun, Your Majesty once said that you can enter the palace at any time today, and he will wait in Ye'an Pavilion." The head of the palace guards stepped forward and said.

Gongsun Shu nodded and said with a smile: "But there is labor to lead the way, and I am not very familiar with the environment in the palace." ”

The leader of the guards immediately arranged for the guards to lead the way, and at the same time said, "Mr. Gongsun, please." ”

Gongsun Shu was guided by the guards, passed through the dark palace courtyard, and only saw a little light in front of Ye'an Pavilion. The palace was also silent in this matter, and Gongsun Shu sighed: "Send away a group of palace people, but the newcomers have not entered, and even this palace is so deserted." ”

The guards glanced at him, but they didn't expect this "Mr. Gongsun" to suddenly sigh, the guards didn't dare to talk casually in the palace. When Gongsun Shu led the way to Ye'an Pavilion, the guards did not retreat immediately, and they would lead him out of the palace after a while.

Gongsun Shu arrived at the door of Ye'an Pavilion. There was no one outside, and no one could be found to go in to report, and before he could take a step up the steps, he heard Han Jian's voice from inside: "Is it Gongsun Junshi?" ”

"Exactly." Gongsun Shu walked into the house and saw Han Jian standing at the window looking at the backyard, because it was pitch black, even Gongsun Shu didn't know what was in the backyard. Gongsun Shu took a few steps forward. Stand in the center of the hall of Ye'an Pavilion and wait for further instructions from Han Jian.

Han Jian looked at the backyard for a while before he turned back to Gongsun Shu and said, "Let you go and talk to Ning Yuan." Did you say that? ”

Gongsun Shu saluted and said: "The minister has already told Taishi Ning in accordance with His Majesty's explanation. Ning Taishi did not doubt Zaixia's identity. ”

Han Jian said: "You are their person, how can Ning Yuan doubt you?" ”

Gongsun Shu's face showed a little embarrassment, originally he did a good job of hiding his identity in the army. But I don't have the ability to go further. But at this time. Han Jian took the initiative to send someone to find him and explained something to him, Gongsun Shu is now also a "last resort" and needs to cooperate with Han Jian.

Han Jian didn't speak, and Gongsun Shu didn't dare to make up the stubble. After a long time, Han Jian asked, "My father is he...... How about now? ”

Gongsun Shu's heart was a little nervous, and Han Jian asked his father, he didn't put the emperor's shelf in front of him, that is. Han Jian still has some respect for him, or out of respect for the old East King Han Qi. Gongsun Shu smiled bitterly: "The minister has not seen the Lord for more than half a year. So...... Don't dare to answer Your Majesty casually. ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "You don't need to call me Your Majesty, it sounds awkward." Just what you call it. ”

"Yes, young master." Gongsun Shu replied very skillfully.

Han Jian nodded, although Gongsun Shu is now both an enemy and a friend with him, but how to say that Gongsun Shu is also a subordinate of Han Qi, and at the same time, there are some unexplained entanglements with the imperial court, and now the people of Prince Yan Ning's faction are not imposing at all, because Prince Yan Ning is dead, and Prince Yan Ning's descendants only gave birth to Yang Qingle alone. Even Han Qi, the head of Prince Yan Ning, did not say that he was ready to restore, but they were unwilling to fail and had been fighting against the imperial court, but with his ascension to the throne, in fact, these past grievances and grievances will also disappear. He can ascend the throne as the emperor, and it should be "old comfort" for Han Jue. How can there be any reason for Lao Tzu to rob his son of the throne?

Han Jian said: "After I lead the troops north, I will send someone to contact you, if there is anything in Shangshutai, you can just submit it to the Wu Shogunate, and the news will be known to me." As for Ning Yuan, how you are willing to communicate with him is your business, but if I find out that you have a bad connection with him, I still won't care about the old feelings. ”

"I don't dare." Gongsun Shu was very respectful and saluted.

"That's good. As for the rest, I really didn't expect it, but I still have to keep your identity a secret, and I don't want more unnecessary people to know about your existence, let alone the people behind you. Han Jian said.

Gongsun Shu still received the order, and finally Han Jian waved his hand and said, "Go back, go to Shangshutai tomorrow to receive the order." By the way, he informed Ning Yuan that he didn't need to prepare anything to give him off, so that he could put away those senseless flatteries. ”

Gongsun Shu was stunned, and Han Jian said that he could "go back", but apparently asked him to pass on the matter to Ning Yuan overnight. In this way, Ning Yuan knew that he had come to the palace that night. Gongsun Shu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this back and forth, he would still be used by Han Jian, it seemed that he believed that he let him "collude" with Ning Yuan behind his back, but in fact, he was also using him to beat Ning Yuan, and he was also preparing for the deposition of Ning Yuan in the future.

Waiting for Gongsun Shu to leave, Han Jian still stayed in Ye'an Pavilion, and after a while, a figure entered Ye'an Pavilion. It was Yang Rui who had not had good communication with Han Jian for a few days. Yang Rui was just dressed in a very plain neutral shirt, and when he came over to see Han Jian, he didn't salute or say more.

"He is...... Sent by your father? Yang Rui asked.

"Hmm." Han Jian's tone was also a little flat, in fact, Yang Rui didn't want to mention Han Jue more, he didn't want to say more, how to say that it was a stalk between him and the women around him, Han Song and the others were still nominally Han Jue's concubines, but Han Jian couldn't let Han Song and the others know that Han Jue was still alive now. This involves too many things, and now he can only inform Yang Rui about this, and Yang Rui originally told him that Han Ju was still alive. Han Jian really didn't want to carry the burden of a father who had no emotional foundation.

Yang Rui sat down, his expression was normal, and said: "You are going to go on an expedition tomorrow, and today you see the people he sent, but you want to rebuild the old good?" Have you ever wondered how the people around you will behave in this way? ”

Han Jian sat on the original Yang Rui's royal seat, raised his head to look at Yang Rui, and said, "Some people can't avoid it. Now that I have even taken away your Yang family's inheritance, he claims to be a loyal minister of the Yang family, even if he intends to show goodwill, I will not accept him easily. ”

Yang Rui's eyes looked away, and she was somewhat worried in her heart. This time, she didn't want to meet again before Han Jian set out on the expedition, she thought about it calmly these days, and still couldn't forgive herself for giving up the throne, which was her debt to the emperor and her ancestors. But she gradually accepted Han Jian's identity as the emperor, but she hadn't gotten out of the hurdle in her heart. If it weren't for Han Jian saying that she was going to see the envoy sent by Han Jue today, she wouldn't have come back to Ye'an Pavilion.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Han Jian said, "I have arranged everything, including an edict for the Zen position. If something happens to me in the north, the court still needs Rui'er to take care of it, Luoyang is not guaranteed, you can also withdraw to Jiangdu, with the ability of the Xianbei people to pass through the Central Plains, even if they can occupy the Central Plains for three and five years, they still have to withdraw to the grassland after all. My second mother and third mother will also help you achieve the emperor's career when the time comes. ”

Yang Rui looked at Han Jian and said with some puzzlement: "You...... What are you talking about? Is this an account of the aftermath? ”

Han Jian smiled helplessly, he went north to fight against the Xianbei people this time, and he was also determined to fight to the end. How to say that Xianbei people's coveting of the Central Plains is not a day or two, but after he ascends the throne, he has to bear the burden of maintaining the Central Plains Han Dynasty.

"I have just become the emperor, if the Central Plains is overturned, the crime will be borne by me. You will be the master of the Central Plains, and the foundation of the Yang family can be passed on in the future, isn't it exactly what you think? Han Jian walked up to Yang Rui with a smile and said.

Yang Rui looked up at Han Jian, with a lot of reluctance in his heart. No matter how you say it, it is also a husband and wife, even if there is a gap in your heart, but in the end, it is for each other's consideration.

Yang Rui couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "I hope you can return safely!" (To be continued......)
