Han Jian said this, which made Ning Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. Han Jian accepted the "gift" with a smile, which means that he will continue to speak in front of the empress for the many families in Luoyang who have taken refuge in Yang Yu.

For Ning Yuan, the importance of a daughter is far less important than the family's interests. Ning Yuan has many children, and the standard for the prosperity of ordinary families is calculated by the number of people, and in the family, it is roughly the same, and the number of men determines the rise and fall of the family. The daughter was originally going to marry out in exchange for political benefits.

"Ning Shangshu, you go back first, don't forget to go to Qingxu Yashe when Shen Shi." Han Jian said.

"Yes, the old minister will convey it on his behalf." After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he was a little embarrassed.

Now his daughter is indeed accepted by Han Jian, but now whether he will bring his daughter back first, or just stay at the disposal, Han Jian has no certainty.

Ning Yuan simply thought about it, Han Jian let him go, and didn't let his daughter go, so he went in the direction of the sedan chair alone, leaving his daughter alone by Han Jian.

At this time, Miss Ning lowered her head, knowing that she was "sold" by her father like goods, and she had no complaints. As the daughter of a family, she is still conscious of her marriage. Even if she has no name by the side of the East King, it is not a disadvantage to her, after all, this is just an exchange of political chips.

Han Jian looked at Miss Ning's family, originally she was dressed in men's clothes, and she couldn't look pretty, but she was also very attractive when she changed into a decent skirt. This is the first time that Han Jian has accepted such a "precious" and "special" gift. After a little reaction, I felt that I was a little different from before.

He will not accept a woman who has no emotional foundation. But with the victory of the Eastern King Army. Luoyang is under the rule of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and his sense of power will naturally swell, and for a man, having power is equivalent to having a qiē, and there is no shortage of wine and wealth.

Han Jian looked at Miss Ning, who was a little nervous with her head down, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, after all, she was also a normal man.

"Someone." Han Jian snorted.

"Yes." Several guards stepped forward.

Han Jian instructed: "Use the carriage to drive Miss Ning back to the house." ”

"Yes." The guards respectfully accepted the order, and then immediately went to prepare the carriage.

When Miss Ning heard Han Jian's words, she looked at Han Jian in a daze, as if she didn't quite understand why Han Jian accepted her and sent her back.

Take advantage of the time when the guards are preparing the carriage. Han Jian stepped forward. It is only one step away from Miss Ning's family. Being looked at so closely by a man, Miss Ning didn't dare to raise her head again, even if she was talented and courageous.

"This king sent you back to prepare and say goodbye to your parents and relatives. Later. The king will send someone to fetch you from the palace. Han Jian explained his intentions in a calm tone.

"Hmm." Miss Ning replied softly. The head of the mantis is lower, and there is a little red between the cheeks.

Han Jian's words will mean that she will officially bid farewell to her life in the boudoir. And become the woman next to the East King. But she also knows very well that it will be difficult for her to be famous.

Han Jian looked at Miss Ning, but he didn't know why this woman was so attractive. If she is beautiful, she can't compare with Gu Xin'er at all, and in terms of courage and talent, she can't compare with Yang Xin'er. But such a surrogate father, and a woman who combines a woman's weakness and heroism, moved Han Jian, who has always been very "principled".

After a while, the carriage was ready, and Han Jian didn't even ask the name of Miss Ning's daughter, so he let her get into the carriage.

When the others left, Han Jian cleaned up his mood, and first went back to explain to Yang Li'er that if he didn't come back at night, he would go to Wu'an.

The Wu'an Office is a temporary military command post set up by Han Jian in Luoyang according to the yamen of Jiangdu, which is equivalent to half of the military department, but the authority under its control is more than that of the military department. For the time being, the decrees and military arrangements were all issued by Wu'an, and the yamen of the three provinces and six ministries on the imperial court were all just decorations and could not be managed.

Han Jian went to the Wu'an Institute and inquired about the latest military developments. He was also relieved to learn that Lin Zhan's troops were fighting relatively smoothly on the front line in the north of Luoyang.

On the surface, it seems that the Beiwangfu has no intention of fighting on the Yellow River anymore, but retreats to Hebei and even the hinterland of Beichuan, preparing to compete with the invading Xiwang army. In this way, all the prefectures and counties along the Yellow River were ceded to the Dongwangfu.

As for the soldiers and horses of Nanhou Huang Shilang in Nanwangfu Town, in addition to leaving a small part outside Luoyang City to accept the empress's dispatch at any time, the main force is also taking advantage of the chaos to clean up the mess. The intention of the Southern Wangfu is also obvious, Luoyang City is most of the counties around Luoyang are ceded to the Dongwangfu, and Yang Luochuan does indicate the intention of attaching to the imperial court or even to the Dongwangfu, but in the military territory, it can still be occupied.

"General Zhang, has there been any progress on the matter of the assassins in the palace yesterday?"

After the matter was discussed, Han Jian left Zhang Xing alone to inquire about the assassin. After all, the assassin's matter happened in the palace, and Han Jian didn't want to make a noise, after all, it was not a glorious thing.

"Back to the young son, the assassin's matter is still under investigation." Zhang Xing's face was a little embarrassed.

"Still checking? Just no clues? I don't know where they came from, but what is their purpose, they should always find some, right? Han Jian said.

Zhang Xing's face became more and more embarrassed, and said: "Yesterday, the assassin's whereabouts were secretive, and he didn't know anything about his origin, but he was discovered by the guards when he crossed the wall, and then he disappeared after tracking, and then he searched for it in the palace, and there was no trace of him." ”

Han Jian nodded, such a strange assassin matter, if he hadn't happened to be bathing with the empress at the time, it is estimated that he would not have known about it. This kind of thing may be suppressed by Zhang Xing, after all, at night, you just see a dark shadow, and there is no need to make a noise about dispensable things.

"It may be that the remnants of the rebellious party want to take the opportunity to murder His Majesty. In the past few days, the palace will strengthen its vigilance, and the king will also enter the palace at any time to inspect. Han Jian found a good reason for himself to have an affair with Yang Rui.

After talking about the assassins, Han Jian met with Lin Ke and several other ministers who had entered the palace with the army in the yamen of the original listening office, and briefly discussed some matters.

After lunch, Han Jian took a leisurely nap at the yamen in the listening room. By the time he woke up, it was already past the time of Shen. Thinking of what I told Ning Yuan before, I should be late to meet some people from the Luoyang family in Shenshi.

But on second thought, now that he is in power, there is only a reason to be late and not early, so there is no need to be too anxious in the past.

Coming out of the listening place to Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian rode a horse. Because the streets of Luoyang City are still under martial law, there are basically no people on the streets. Han Jian unconsciously walked the road he had often walked before, and then looked at the familiar scene in the narrow street, but found that the house of the Lin brothers and sisters had long been dilapidated. No one lives in more than a year. Lin Xiaoshu's nest also collapsed. Han Jianxin said that if Lin Xiaoshu knew, he would definitely repair it when he came back.

At this time, Lin Xiaoshu was still busy with military food dispatch outside Luoyang. Han Jian thought about it. There are also old days when I haven't seen her.

Thinking of Lin Xiaoshu. Han Jian couldn't help but think of the people around him. Former friends, Sima Yi and Yang Xi are far away in Jiangnan, but Ruan Ping is in Jiangdu. However, Ruan Ping's qualifications are mediocre and he can never become his advisor, but he can be cultivated slowly. However, Su Tingxia, whom Han Jian admired before, was still serving hard labor in the Nanwang Mansion, but I heard that Su Tingxia had become a strategist of a general under the command of the Nanwang Mansion because of his outstanding talent. Han Jian thought about it, and he would definitely ask this person for him when he turned around. After all, there are only a handful of cronies personally cultivated by his subordinates, and there are no such talents in terms of cultural governance.

Thinking about things, Han Jian arrived at the door of Qingxu Yashe.

Before, this was the place where he met with Yang Xi and others, and it was also an industry of Dongwangfu. After the Dongwang Mansion moved away from Luoyang, it had become the official residence of the government, and it was still to entertain some dignitaries, so during this time, Qingxu Yashe was not abandoned, compared with the original, it was only slightly dilapidated, but it was still one of the best restaurants in the capital.

"Young boy." Seeing Han Jian, the people of Qingxu Yashe hurriedly came out to greet him.

After the Dongwang army was stationed in Luoyang, the properties that originally belonged to the Dongwangfu were transferred back one by one, and the stewards and men here were basically replaced by people from the Dongwangfu.

"You do your thing." Han Jian said a word, and at this time, the representatives of the family who were originally waiting upstairs and were a little anxious all came downstairs.

Headed by Ning Yuan, there are not many people from the family in Luoyang, but there are more than 20 people, among these people, some are from the family, and there are also officials who have taken refuge in Yang Yu. But they are generally people from the Ningyuan faction.

When Yang Yu was in power, Luoyang officialdom was also divided into factions, and now, only Ning Yuan's faction can talk to Han Jian. Ning Yuan's official character is relatively high, and he is valued by Yang Yu, and he is from an academic school, so he is basically from a Confucian background or a Guozijian background. However, some big families have always been connected with each other, so the factions of these families are complicated, but in general, as long as they are opposite to the Ning Yuan faction, they can only wait anxiously at home for the time being, and resign themselves to fate.

"Ning Shangshu came quite early." Han Jian faced so many people coming down to salute, and just said to Ning Yuan with a smile. For the others, Han Jian has nothing to say for the time being, and now Ning Yuan alone is basically the representative of these families.

Because it was not a meal, and Luoyang was under martial law, Qingxu Yashe did not have any guests except for these family representatives and officials.

Han Jian went up to the second floor, and there were a few tables around, and the main table by the window was reserved for Dongwang, Ning Yuan, and a few officials with relatively high ranks, or the family was more prominent.

Han Jian sat down, Ning Yuan and the others dared to sit, Han Jian looked at the table, there was nothing but tea, obviously these people didn't come to drink tea and eat, they just wanted to get a definite answer.

"Everyone, light." Han Jian said loudly.

"Don't dare, don't dare." A middle-aged man sitting next to Ning Yuan said, "His Royal Highness the East King is the lord, and we are the guests, and the guests are the masters." ”

"Oh? I am the Lord, do you mean, this meal should be the king's treat? Han Jian said with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Ning Yuan heard that Han Jian's tone was wrong, and hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the East King said that he laughed, if it is a banquet, the old minister's mansion will entertain His Highness, this pure and empty elegant house is the place of the East Palace, and I have come to admire His Highness's face, and it is already a blessing for three lives." ”

Ning Yuan's voice fell, and the people next to him echoed one after another.

Originally, these officials thought that no matter how ruthless Han Jian was, after all, he was also young, so how could he talk. After these few words just now, they knew that only Ning Yuan might be able to say a few words to the East King, and he only trembled and followed a few words.

Han Jian stood up, and the other officials looked at it. They all wanted to get up, but Han Jian motioned for everyone to sit down.

Han Jian sighed: "The purpose of your coming here is very clear to this king. Needless to say, the clans behind you are all prominent officials and nobles in Luoyang, and it is inappropriate to say that they are prominent in Luoyang for a while, and they may all be prominent for several generations. Now, as His Majesty said, when the thief is in power, you don't think about the emperor's grace and take refuge in the thief. It's a thief. ”

Listen to Han Jian scold so directly. Many people feel that their faces are unbearable. is so openly scolded as a thief, it is strange that his face can be good-looking.

But no one dares to come out to refute, and coming out to contradict it is the same as looking for death, whoever speaks first will suffer.

Only Ning Yuan. He stood up and saluted, "What His Royal Highness the King of the East said is extremely true. The old minister wants to come now. It's also a tossing and turning, and I regret that I shouldn't have been in the first place. ”

Han Jianxin said, your regret shouldn't be true. I'm afraid that when Yang Yu ascended the throne, you didn't mean to be persecuted. The reason why these people took refuge in Yang Yu was that they didn't expect Yang Yu to be pulled down again in such a short time. In the past, their family could be prominent in Luoyang, and that was because they were on the right team, but this time they were on the wrong team and were punished.

Han Jian sneered: "Shouldn't you regret it in the first place? Well, in order to show your sincerity to the thief, how many things did you do that harmed Your Majesty? How many old nobles migrated to Jiangdu because of this, and suffered from displacement on the way? In whose name is their cottage now? ”

Han Jian said that everyone present was in danger.

This is a very real problem, that is, the problem of standing in line. Those who have suffered from displacement in Han Jian's mouth, they have chosen the right side, and they don't have to worry about the future of their family now, they just wait for the future to come back in the future and take back what they deserve, and then divide up theirs. And the "scheming" that the empress said is precisely these considerations.

Ning Yuan looked at the people present, and immediately said: "Your Highness is aware that all the land and property that the thief gave him before should be ......returned."

Han Jian patted Ning Yuan's shoulder, Ning Yuan's legs were weak, he almost couldn't stand, and his body shook up and down twice.

"That's right." Han Jian said, "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, and what doesn't belong to you should always be returned, which is a matter of course." In addition, what other ways do you show your repentance to His Majesty? ”

Han Jian's question made everyone speechless.

There are many ways to show repentance, before they belonged to the beneficiaries, and they divided up the property of families like Anping County Wangfu before, each of them was very fruitful, even if Yang Yu wanted to send them back to save the situation because of the urgency of Luoyang, they also made no gains. But there is no business in the world that does not lose money, now it is just for them to spit out that what they have stolen is just an "appetizer", if they don't vomit blood, let alone the empress, even Han Jian will not say anything for them.

Ning Yuan settled down and said tentatively: "Your Highness, didn't you already send a roster to Your Highness before?" That...... It can be regarded as the people here, and there is a little bit of sincerity from some clans who have not yet been present......"

Han Jian smiled and said: "Ning Shangshu, Your Majesty's attitude should be very clear, don't you need to repeat it with this king, right?" ”

"Naturally, not." Ning Yuan's face was sad.

If the empress's attitude was calmer, it would be better to say, seeing the empress's tough attitude today, they knew that the end was coming, and they would be so desperate to slap the king of the east.

Han Jian continued: "Then according to Ning Shangshu's intentions, the famous ladies of your various families will send some to the Dongwang Mansion, and this king will speak on your behalf and go to His Majesty to say something, violating the holy will to make Long Yan angry?" Where then have you put this king? ”

Ning Yuan couldn't say a word.

The audience was even more silent.

Han Jian's attitude was so difficult to speak that the people present were unexpected. Originally, these people found some rumors from Ning Yuan, thinking that as long as the woman was sent over, the king of the east would speak for them. Now it seems that they are too wishful thinking.

Han Jian's original anger eased after a while. Han Jian sighed lightly and said, "Everyone, this king has a mention, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" ”

Everyone present thought that Dongwang's road was blocked, and they were all a little disheartened, but when they heard Han Jian's words, it seemed as if they had rekindled hope.

"Your Highness, please speak." Ning Yuan looked at Han Jian and said.

Han Jian said: "Now that His Majesty has returned to the dynasty, Luoyang is in ruins, but after the trauma of this war, I am afraid that it will not be able to recover in a short period of time." This king originally wanted to take advantage of the stability of the current situation to say something to His Majesty, and begged His Majesty not to blame for the past. But now it seems that His Majesty's attitude is resolute......"

Han Jian said a few words, but never got to the point. Everyone present was also a little anxious.

“…… Since you all have the intention of repenting, it is better to enter the table and express your willingness to move your clans to Jiangdu temporarily. There may be changes in your official positions, but you can finally keep the clan incense. This king can do his best, and he can only do so. It's up to you to accept it. ”

With that, Han Jian sat down, his face calm.

The faces of the people present were not so calm.

Although these people are not necessarily from Luoyang, they can take root in Luoyang. I never planned to leave Luoyang. Once left. That's no different from a family outbreak.

"This ......" After the silence, Ning Yuan was still the first to speak, "I don't know...... Do you want to move the capital to Jiangdu? ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "There are no plans to move the capital for the time being. ”

"That ......"

Ning Yuan looked embarrassed. Now the capital has not been moved. The family behind them is going to move to Jiangdu. It is equivalent to staying away from the political core. But the good thing is that Han Jian promised to preserve their clan incense, that is, he would not raid the family and exterminate the clan. Even the official may be able to keep it, but it will be demoted.

Originally, Han Jian was able to make such a promise, and the people present were not demanding. But when I thought of going to Jiangdu again, the future was uncertain, and one by one I couldn't come out to express my position.

"If you feel embarrassed, then the king will take his leave, and you will take care of yourself." Han Jian looked at it for a long time, and was also a little annoyed, these people still couldn't let go of their power in the end. On the one hand, he said that he would regret and said that he could save the family, but he was reluctant when he heard that the family had moved.

In Han Jian's view, they love whether they are willing or not. This kind of thing is either forced or ignored.

Forced to come, it seems that he has no grace. It is not difficult to cultivate a new aristocracy, and it is a big deal to move some families from Jiangdu to Luoyang to make up for the old with the new.

"Your Highness, please stay." Ning Yuan saw that Han Jian was intent on leaving, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness is willing to anger Long Yan for us, and we really can't repay it." Now His Highness has proposed such a proper mention, if we refuse again, it will be ignorant of what is good or bad. Your Highness, please rest assured, we will go back to play His Majesty, and we are willing to move to Jiangdu. ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, then sat down again with a smile, and said, "That's fine." This king is also worried about how to face His Majesty again, thinking about it, he already wants to follow His Majesty's wishes. But listening to Ning Shangshu's words, this king feels that if he speaks for you again, maybe His Majesty's heart will also have room for maneuver. Then everyone, be grateful to go back and prepare for the table. ”

Ning Yuan said: "Yes, Yes, what His Highness said is true." I'll wait, I'll go back and draft the text of the table. ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded and smiled in appreciation.

Ning Yuan got up and greeted him, meaning to hurry back and prepare. "Guys, before dark, you have to submit the form here, you don't have any problem, right?"

The people present looked at each other, and finally said that there was no problem.

Everyone was leaving, and Ning Yuan said to Han Jian again: "Your Highness, the old minister has already greeted each family before, and each family is beautiful, so I will send it to His Highness tonight." But I don't know...... Where to go, please show your Highness. ”

Han Jian smiled: "Ning Shangshu has a heart. However, the matter of the lady's show, the king will write it down for the time being, and when the families arrive in Jiangdu, the king will ask for them one by one. However, Ning Shangshu's daughter, this king has stayed by his side for the time being. ”

"That's also a little girl's luck, thanks to His Highness's dislike." Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Ning Yuan was also very worried that such a big deal about sending a woman to the East King would inevitably be known to the Empress, which might cause the relationship between the Empress and the East King to continue to ossify. Not only would that not be beneficial to the families, but even the imperial court might collapse and be replaced by the Eastern Palace.

Ning Yuan was going to go with everyone, but Han Jian left Ning Yuan alone, and he had something to say.

"I wonder what else is going on with Your Highness?" Ning Yuan seemed a little anxious, after all, it was less than half an hour before dark, and if he didn't hurry up and prepare, the matter on the table would be delayed. By the next day, it was uncertain what would happen.

"Ning Shangshu doesn't need to be in a hurry." Han Jian said, "This king has something to tell you. ”

"Oh? What did Your Highness say? ”

Han Jian said: "Although the capital will not be moved this time, this king will return to Jiangdu with the army in the near future." ”

"Huh?" Ning Yuan was really taken aback.

Han Jian said: "As for whether His Majesty will return to Jiangdu with this king, this king can't answer you for the time being." Ning Shangshu, this matter is very confidential, you should understand, right? ”

"Yes, Lao Chen understands that Lao Chen will never reveal half a sentence to outsiders." When Ning Yuan heard this, he felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

Han Jian said that he would not move the capital, but if he took the empress back to Jiangdu, and then moved the Luoyang family to Jiangdu, then Jiangdu would be the new capital. That is to say, in this political transaction, these families have very little to lose. (To be continued......)
