Chapter 766: The Change of the Imperial Court (I)

Half of the civil and military generals in the imperial court were taken down by Han Jian. This does not include some people who have not fallen into the face themselves, when Yi Die secretly went to arrest Yang Qingle and planned to assassinate Han Jian in the palace, Han Jian had never moved such a big battle. No matter how mature Han Jian's reasons are, the ability to prove that these people are guilty of stealing Luoyang's authority, but Han Jian still has to bear the infamy of being a thief. The group of people led by Lin Ke was also named a loyal and patriotic person.

As Yang Rui of the palace sent a little eunuch to invite Han Jian into the palace, Han Jian did not immediately make a statement, and he didn't even need to get off the horse to receive Yang Rui's imperial decree.

Han Jian was about to make a statement, when suddenly a guard from the East Palace's mansion came to play: "The princess of the county invites the young prince to return to the mansion for a while." ”

At the same time that Yang Rui sent someone to invite Han Jian into the palace, Han Song's family sent someone to let Han Jian return to the East Palace, the meaning was already obvious, and he could refuse to obey the edict, if Han Jian directly chose to return to the East Palace, then it would be a sure thing for Han Jian to force the palace. Han Song is also forcing Han Jian to make a statement, but if Han Jian enters the palace, things can still turn around. After all, there were a lot of people captured by Han Jian this time, but there were only a handful of people who were really killed, except for those who went to steal the city defense first and were killed on the spot, and some people who resisted when they were arrested were also beheaded, and more were escorted to the palace. If Han Jian and Yang Ruineng had a proper discussion, these people might not have to die.

"Go back and inform the princess of the county, and this king will go to the palace to meet Your Majesty." Han Jian's words relieved many people present.

Han Jian's inheritance of the unification seemed to some people to be unstoppable. Now the entire north, except for Yuzhou, has been completely controlled by the soldiers and horses of the East Prince's Mansion, and the East King is a word in the East Prince's Mansion, and his status is respected, and even the empress of the Wei Dynasty has become his woman. Bear birth to him children. Now that someone in the court wants to murder him, Han Jian has no reason to back down.

Han Jian dismounted, although he chose to enter the palace this time, he did not enter the palace alone, but brought a large number of guards and soldiers. These guards and soldiers are all fully armed, and some people believe that they went in to kill Yang Rui.

As Han Jian stepped into the palace gate. At this time, all the generals and soldiers outside the palace were waiting for further news, and perhaps when Han Jian came out, the Wei Dynasty would be destroyed and replaced by a new dynasty. Those detained generals still have some hopes in their hearts, hoping to exchange Yang Rui's wrist for the safety of themselves and their families. If things really have to be calculated, this rebellion alone will have too many heads on the ground, including not only the people who participated in the rebellion, but also their families, as long as any dynasty is a rebellious minister. and his family shall suffer with it.

After Han Jian entered the palace, only the main gate of the entire palace was open, but outside the main gate of the palace was full of people from the East Wangfu and the new army, including soldiers and horses transferred back from the north by Han Jian.

Han Jian entered the palace and went directly to Ye'an Pavilion, but was told that the emperor was not waiting in Ye'an Pavilion, but in his own bedroom. Han Jian hadn't entered the palace for nearly ten days, and in the past ten days. Yang Rui didn't know Han Jian's whereabouts, and when she knew that Han Jian was in Luoyang, waiting for the rebellion of the imperial court faction. She was also quite surprised in her heart, which meant that Han Jian didn't even trust her, and didn't even explain it to her. Or in Han Jian's heart, she thought that she was secretly dispatching these people to rebel, but in fact, she didn't know anything about the rebellion, and in her heart, she didn't support Lin Ke's rebellion at all. If she knew, she would definitely notify Han Jian as soon as possible.

There was no hurry to go to the palace dormitory, Han Jian didn't know what Yang Rui was doing. If it is said that in the past, his suppression of the imperial court faction was only a squeeze out of power, but this time he was going to carry out a massacre, it is impossible for Yang Rui not to know his position. Last time, in order to protect the officials and generals of the imperial court faction, Yang Rui even committed suicide when he was pregnant. If Yang Rui makes any drastic moves this time, he must also be on guard.

According to Han Jian's expectations, Yang Rui's radical moves are nothing more than two aspects. On the one hand, it is aimed at herself, and it may also be aimed at her.

In terms of martial arts, Han Jian knew that he was far inferior to Yang Rui, if Yang Rui had the intention to kill him from the beginning, he would have attacked him when the two of them were alone, and he would not have survived today. But even if Yang Rui quarreled with him to the point that the well water did not interfere with the river water, he never did anything to him. But this time the situation is different, if Yang Rui really wants to make a move on him, he must also be on guard. Although in Han Jian's heart, he didn't want to guard against the women around him, but after all, Yang Rui was also the empress, and maybe Yang Rui had political considerations when he was committed to him from the beginning. Now that he is doing things absolutely, it is inevitable that Yang Rui will do things absolutely.

"Your Highness...... His Majesty is waiting in the palace. ”

Han Jian didn't leave for a long time in the Ye'an Pavilion to go to the inner garden of the palace, maybe Yang Rui noticed something, this time it was not for the little eunuch to come, but for the little palace maid Hui'er, who was closest to her. How to say that Hui'er is also her "own person", she even asked Hui'er to serve Han Jian when she was pregnant, which also shows that Yang Rui cultivates Hui'er as a sister in her boudoir.

"Who else is with Your Majesty?" Han Jian asked.

Hui'er thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty is just a person. ”

"Okay." Han Jian nodded, and then came out of Ye'an Pavilion, there were still a lot of guards and soldiers outside. However, Han Jian was not going to take these horses into the inner courtyard of the palace. He didn't have to give Yang Rui some face, and he didn't have to worry too much about his safety in the inner courtyard of the palace, there were also guards from the East Palace, but they were all palace guards. If Yang Rui is just one person, it will be difficult to kill him.

Han Jian went to the inner palace of the palace with Hui'er, and there were guards along the way. Since last night, the palace has also strengthened its vigilance, and Han Jian was initially afraid that the chaotic party would take the opportunity to storm the palace, which would be detrimental to Yang Rui's safety. But later, after quelling the chaos in the city, there was still no lax defense, and in Yang Rui's opinion, it could only be aimed at her.

When Han Jian arrived outside Yang Rui's bedroom, the guards patrolling outside were also left behind, keeping an eye on Yang Rui's bedroom at any time. These guards were all soldiers who had made great contributions in the battle between the Eastern Mansion and the Northern Palace, and they remained in the palace as the highest meritorious service, and they were also the most generous errands in the entire Wei Dynasty. Although they were nominally palace guards, they were still under the orders of the Eastern Palace, and Han Jian had also wanted to return the palace guards to Yang Rui, but Yang Rui was emotional and refused that day. Since then, the Imperial Palace has remained the sphere of influence of the Eastern Palace.

"Wait outside." Han Jian said a word to Hui'er, and when he walked into the hall, it was still very deserted outside. Some of the arrangements have been like this since Han Jian first came here with Yang Rui, who had just converted a very remote palace into her dormitory, because she said that this was where the emperor and her mother met. Han Jian never suspected that Yang Rui had deceived him in this matter, and Yang Rui had also intended to repair this place later. But for some reason, I ended up halfway. The main reason is that the imperial court's finances are stretched, and Yang Rui has always been frugal, and he did not spend money on repairing his residence.

"Why don't you come in?" Han Jian stood outside the curtain for a while, but when he came in, how could Yang Rui not hear his footsteps?

With Yang Rui's martial arts, she could also feel that it was Han Jian's breath, which was also familiar to her.

Han Jian lifted the curtain and went inside, unlike every time he came before, this time he looked extraordinarily dignified. There are many things he doesn't want to do himself, as if he wants to suppress the forces that oppose him in the imperial court. After all, those people are also ministers of the same palace as him, and they are also working for the stability of the northern Wei Dynasty, but their position is always to be loyal to the imperial court, or for their own purposes, and regard the Eastern Palaces as a thorn in their side.

Yang Rui sat peacefully at the table at this time, holding his daughter in his hand. Unlike in the past, this time Yang Rui was breastfeeding the child himself, and Yang Rui was the emperor. Han Xi was born in the East Palace, and Yang Li'er loved her son very much. Nor have they been fed personally. In the palace and Dongwangfu, because Han Jian has had an heir born in the past two years, there are already a lot, followed by Lin Xiaoshu's birth, and Gu Xin'er behind, who will not stop in the past few years. And Han Jian is also in the prime of life, so he doesn't worry about the problem of heirs at all. However, Yang Rui knew that he was not a young man, and kept saying that he might not have it after giving birth to this child.

"Rui'er, you ......" Han Jian didn't walk forward, but just stood behind the curtain and looked at Yang Rui with a motherly face.

If Yang Rui quarrels with him normally, he even glances at him or begs him to let those people in the court go. Han Jian can understand, after all, it is Yang Rui's character. Yang Rui is a heroine among women, and she will never admit defeat, except in front of him. Yang Rui would only show some of the attitude of his little daughter's family in front of him, and the scene in front of him made Han Jian feel that Yang Rui felt a sense of discouragement.

Yang Rui just glanced at Han Jian with a very indifferent smile and said, "What? The concubine is her mother, and feeding her daughter is not exactly what every mother should do? It's a pity that I am an emperor and was born in the palace, and if my daughter does not receive her mother's care because of this, the concubine will feel sorry for her in the future. ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, Yang Rui's words could only be said to be Yang Rui's true feelings.

She didn't deceive anything in this matter, Yang Rui had a lot of prejudice against this daughter from the beginning, and even didn't go to see her for a long time after her daughter was born, and never gave her a "name", until now this daughter is not only just an emperor's daughter, she doesn't even have a name, and the court has also intended to ask Yang Rui to make her a princess, and Yang Rui has never agreed. Things have been dragged on.

But now, maybe Yang Rui feels that she owes this daughter, and she is very unhappy in her heart, so she will feed her personally to show that she regards this daughter as the pearl of her palm.

"Look at her, how happy are you eating?" Yang Rui suddenly said with a smile, but tears slipped out of the corners of his eyes, no matter how much hatred Han Jian had in his heart before, and how closely he guarded against Yang Rui, but in Yang Rui's situation, her heart would soften.

"Ruier, what's wrong?" Han Jian walked up to Yang Rui and lowered his head to look at Yang Rui. Yang Rui gently wiped away his tears.

"Nothing. I just feel guilty about her in my heart, I didn't be a good mother. Yang Ruiyi sighed, "After I was born, my mother also fed me like this, because she said that only in this way can her child experience the existence of her mother, which can make her more at ease, not afraid of crying at night, and not afraid of disasters in the future." Alas! I can only understand my mother's heart now, and my mother was like me at the beginning, and she really wanted to give birth to a boy for my father to inherit the throne, but in the end it was me who gave birth. But my father never blamed her, and even came here every day to miss her after the queen mother died of illness, and when I passed the throne, I passed the throne directly to me, my father once said, I have the shadow of the queen mother, if the queen mother can be the emperor, at least it will be more competent than me. ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly and said, "Aren't you the same now?" In the future, we can make her emperor, and if we have children in the future, we can also wait for her to pass the throne to her younger brother, just like you. ”

"No need." Yang Rui shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "Giving birth to a daughter is extroverted, before the concubine follows you, all I was thinking about was how to ensure the foundation of the Yang family. But today, even my younger brother has betrayed me, so what reason is there for the Yang family to continue to pass on the foundation? The position of the emperor is inherently inhabited by the virtuous. Husband, although you are young, you can already be a Ming monarch, and in the future, the world will be under the control of your husband, and it will definitely be the peace of the country and the people. Even the division between the north and the south in China for hundreds of years may be completed in the hands of the husband. That concubine, even if she became a sinner of the Yang family, was a hero of Huaxia. ”

Han Jian sighed, it seems that Yang Rui is indeed not as "unthinkable" as before, and he is making a fuss about Yang's foundation everywhere. Or maybe Yang Rui is fooling him when he says this, but since it's all here, what's the point of saying something against his will?

"As I said, I won't steal your country. This country belongs to the Yang family, and it is still the world of the Wei Dynasty. Even if the crown prince succeeds him in the future, I will support him. Han Jian still insisted on his attitude, "I will not break my original promise." ”

Yang Rui smiled and said, "It's okay if the husband has a heart." In the past few years, what the husband has done has made the concubine convinced that as long as the concubine is in one day, the husband can protect the foundation of my Wei Dynasty. But this is useless, after all, the world still only recognizes the orthodoxy of the royal family, and the husband will always be infamous for stealing the country. But if the husband is directly in charge of the world, then everything will be different, then no one will criticize the husband again, if the husband can still dominate the world, then the husband will be the Ming Jun who has been passed down through the ages. ”

Han Jian looked at Yang Rui, Yang Rui's words made him feel that the Yang Rui in front of him was not the empress he was familiar with.

Yang Rui would not have said that she would abdicate the throne before, although she was not competent as emperor, but at least she stabilized a nearly fragmented dynasty for nearly two decades. Without Yang Rui in charge, perhaps after her father's death, the royal family of the Wei Dynasty would have undergone a major change, and the north would not be at peace. (To be continued......)
