Chapter 527: The King Doesn't Ask About the Dynasty (I)
Originally, Han Jian wondered why Su Tingxia suddenly said such disrespectful words, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt stunned. Su Tingxia was deliberately colliding with him, and he was "withdrawing".
Su Tingxia single-handedly handled this investigation of the detailed work in the army, and while making contributions, he also offended many colleagues in the army. If he asks for rewards for his merits and publicizes the matter, how can he still have a foothold in the army in the future? It's better to directly confront the king of the east, and first fall into a small crime, and start from the beginning.
Han Jianxin said that Su Tingxia is really not simple, and being a man can be regarded as a masterpiece, is he not afraid that he will kill him with a ruthless heart? Thinking about it again, if Su Tingxia didn't even know what he was like, he wouldn't dare to come out and say this casually.
"This is the end of today's business." Han Jian dispelled the concerns in many people's hearts with one sentence, and said, "The day when the army returns to Jiangdu will not change, you guys go down and prepare." The arrangement of positions in the army, the king will send orders to the army within these two days. β
Many people present were still quite nervous, after all, they themselves were in a group with Guo Shaoyue and others, and now Guo Shaoyue and others were killed, and not only were they not disposed of, but fortunately they were in the army, and they couldn't help but be glad that they were lucky not to be found out. But at this time, Han Jian said: "But some people will be appointed and dismissed immediately, here is the list, General Liu, you are in charge of the affairs in the Chinese army for the time being in the past few days." β
As he spoke, Han Jian handed over a list to a veteran who had been standing on the side, named Liu She. This Liu She is an old minister of the East Palace, and he can be regarded as loyal, but he is a little inferior in ability, and he can't fight any tough battles on the battlefield, so he has only been serving as a deputy commander in the army and helping the lively errands. Now Han Jian has removed Zhang Xing's position, and there is no suitable person to replace him. Only veterans can be appointed.
"Yes, young boy." Liu She took the list and immediately read out the appointments and dismissals of some people.
Dismissed officers will be detained until the matter is clarified.
As soon as it was ready, Han Jian ordered everyone to go back to everyone. Although the riots in the night city basically subsided, it was difficult to guarantee that some people would not fight to the death, and Han Jian still wanted to prevent the possibility of further military mutinies in the army.
After that, Han Jian went back with his relatives, but did not go back to the house directly, but went in the direction of the palace.
Anyway, if anything happens in the city, Han Jian should immediately enter the palace and report to the empress, this is the rule. Although Yang Rui has been witnessing what happened while Han Fitness, he also has to go back to the palace to make some arrangements.
At this time, the palace gate guards have changed guards, for these palace gate guards, they don't know what happened to the military headquarters, the mobilization of soldiers and horses in the city has been cut off at the city gate, and the inner city garrison will not know the situation outside.
When she arrived at the palace, Yang Rui first wanted to go back to the dormitory to change her clothes, and Han Jian and Yang Li'er accompanied her into the dormitory.
Inside the dormitory. Yang Rui was changing clothes in the screen, while Han Jian was sitting at the table drinking tea. Yang Li'er was very well-behaved and was pinched by Han Jian's shoulders after Han Fitness.
"The husband is a little wise and powerful." Yang Rui's voice came from behind the screen.
Han Jian smiled and said, "Rui'er, do you know this?" β
Then Yang Rui suddenly said: "It's just that sometimes it's too rigid for self-use." β
Han Jian coughed, this was both praising and depreciating, and he was a little unbearable.
Yang Rui continued: "We went to the military headquarters alone, if Zhang Xing is more ruthless and immediately orders you and me to be arrested, won't this Luoyang City be chaotic?" The husband seems to have not thought through here. β
Han Jian smiled and said, "Rui'er, what you said is the opposite. It is precisely because I know the personnel structure of the Dongwang Mansion that I dare to go with you so alone. It's safe for us to go, and you don't need to worry. β
Yang Rui changed his clothes and came out, wearing the emperor's crown. But it also showed a bit of a woman's charm and affection, and said: "What do you say? β
Han Jian continued to smile, there were some things he couldn't explain clearly, but with the current situation in the Dongwang army, after several battles, although Zhang Xing was nominally the commander of the Chinese army, but in terms of governance, Han Jian was all hands-on, so Zhang Xing only replaced Han Jian as the commander of the army, and Zhang Xing's power was sometimes hollowed out. In this case, no matter how big or small the affairs in the army have to be passed through from the side of the East Prince's Mansion, the generals in the army will naturally obey the orders of the East Prince's Mansion, and for Zhang Xing, they lack the respect they should have for the commander of the Chinese army.
Han Jian thought, this is probably also the possibility that Zhang Xing feels that he lives under his impression, and he will be instigated to cause chaos if he is unwilling.
"Things are slowly talking. Someone has already been sent to inform the civil and military officials in Luoyang, and if they go later, they are afraid that it will cause criticism. Han Jian stepped forward and wanted to hug Yang Rui's waist, but was pushed away by Yang Rui.
Yang Rui frowned, probably still thinking about Han Jian's secretive affairs, and scolded angrily: "If you know that it will cause criticism, don't be careless." Sister Li'er came over and helped her sister to go up to the court together. β
"Hmm." Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian, slipped behind Yang Rui like a little mouse with thin steps, and walked outside the dormitory with Yang Rui in her arms.
Han Jian sighed helplessly, so he had to follow behind and walk in the direction of Ye'an Pavilion together.
Before arriving at Ye'an Pavilion, there were already a lot of people standing in the dark. Because of the solemn night, these civil and military officials only knew that there was chaos in the city, and they did not know what the situation was.
Seeing Yang Rui coming, no one would think much about why Dongwang would follow Yang Rui, and when Han Jian accompanied Yang Rui into the Ye'an Pavilion, the people outside were still talking in a whisper, and they all seemed to feel that today's situation was different from the past.
"Is the King of the South here?" Yang Rui asked the little eunuch who was in charge of delivering the message.
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of the South is on his way over." The little eunuch replied.
"Hmm. Then a few of you, go out and wait, King Nan will come over and let him come in and talk directly. Yang Rui said.
"Yes." Several little eunuchs went out together, and Yang Rui waved his hand again, letting the other palace maids except Hui'er also go out.
As soon as the person left, Yang Rui seemed to be a little lighter, sat behind the desk, glanced back at Yang Li'er who was standing beside her, and said, "Sister, you might as well sit next to your husband." β
"No...... No. Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian and said.
Yang Rui smiled, but looked at Han Jian and said, "It seems that Sister Li'er's heart is not in her husband's body. β
"Really?" Han Jian smiled, and at this time, there were footsteps approaching outside. King Nan and his entourage arrived outside Ye'an Pavilion. Then Nanwang entered the Ye'an Pavilion alone, and when he saw the people inside, he was relieved in his heart, and then walked into the Ye'an Pavilion to salute Yang Rui.
Yang Rui raised his hand and said, "King Nan doesn't need to be polite, just sit on the side." β
"Yes." Yang Luochuan sat down on a chair on the side, but his eyes looked at Yang Li'er.
After learning the news of his daughter's pregnancy from Han Jian. He hadn't seen Yang Li'er yet, and Han Jian hadn't given him a chance to visit in the East Palace.
"King Nan, do you know what is happening in the city today?" Yang Rui suddenly looked at Yang Luochuan and asked.
Yang Luochuan hesitated for a moment before he said, "The old minister doesn't know. β
"Oh." Yang Rui didn't go into detail whether Yang Luochuan really didn't know, or he was pretending to be confused, and said directly, "Today, there are people in the Dongwang army who are in chaos, and the Dongwang has taken down the culprit, and at the same time, Zhang Xing, the commander of the Dongwang Army. He was also dismissed from his post. β
Yang Luochuan nodded, glanced at Han Jian, turned back to Yang Rui and said, "I see." It seems that Dongwang does things in an eclectic way, and he can resolve a crisis in Luoyang so simply. β
When Han Jian heard Yang Luochuan's words, he felt that Yang Luochuan meant something else, and it didn't look like a compliment.
It sounds like it's swearing.
Yang Rui said again: "King Nan, is there chaos in the Yuzhou army today?" β
Yang Luochuan was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "Go back to your majesty." The old minister has been in Luoyang for a long time, and he has not asked about the affairs of the army for a long time. Whether there is chaos in the army, I am afraid that it will be clear only if I have seen the generals in the army. Is this the case? β
Yang Rui sneered and said, "No need, as long as Nanwang doesn't get news here, it didn't happen." I don't need to do anything more, not to mention that the military camps in Yuzhou are all outside the city. Even if there is chaos, it will not spread to Luoyang City. β
When Yang Luochuan heard this, he felt that Yang Rui had anger in his heart, which made him a little dazed. He thought to himself, is it because he suspects that I am the culprit of the rebellion in this Eastern King's army?
Yang Rui turned to look at Han Jian and said, "King Dong." Now that the Chinese army in Luoyang will be in chaos, you are also duty-bound, and I will punish you. β
Han Jian was slightly stunned, Yang Rui suddenly said that he would punish him, but he hadn't even reminded him before, which made him a little overwhelmed.
"His Majesty's punishment is that the minister will naturally accept it." Han Jian stood up and saluted.
"Hmm." Yang Rui nodded slightly, and said, "I will punish you for half a year, a small punishment and a big commandment, are you willing to accept it?" β
Han Jian almost couldn't hold back his laughter, this punishment was a bit of child's play.
His money was originally issued by the imperial court, but he didn't remember what he received from the imperial court, and now punishing him for half a year is no different from punishing him for the rest of his life. Han Jianxin said that now the people of the entire court are still waiting for the Dongwang Mansion to give them a fortune.
"Your Majesty." Han Jian saluted.
Yang Rui nodded slightly, and said to the little eunuch standing at the door: "Chuan Dongge Shangshu came in to meet him." β
With the sound of the words, Lin Ke hurriedly entered the Ye'an Pavilion, and when he saw the East King and the South King and Yang Rui inside, he felt that the atmosphere here was not simple, so he had to salute in a hurry, and even faintly saw beads of sweat on his head.
Yang Rui said: "Lin Shangshu, what happened in the army, do you know a thing or two?" β
Lin Ke was naturally confused, Nanwang would know about the situation in the city, as a civil official, and there was no one around him for him to drive, how would he know the situation in the city?
Lin Ke said with a bitter face: "Go back to your majesty, minister...... I just heard that there was some chaos in the city, and I didn't know that it had anything to do with the affairs in the army, could it be...... Someone is making a mess out of it? β
Yang Rui glanced at Yang Luochuan instead, and his eyes were also very clear. A civil official can hear about it and guess the general thing, but you, as the king of the south, don't know anything about what you say in front of me?
Yang Luochuan was also a little cramped at this time, and he couldn't wait to scold Lin Ke, but he knew that this was tantamount to slapping himself in the face, so he could only sit with his face black and listen to Lin Ke continue.
General Yang Rui roughly said what he said to Yang Luochuan before, and Lin Ke knew that something big had really happened in the city, and even the commander of the Chinese army of the Eastern King Army was dismissed.
"Lin Shangshu, what do you think of this matter?" Yang Rui finally asked Lin Ke.
Lin Ke paused for a moment before saluting and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty and the East King have handled this matter very properly, and the old minister has no objection. β
Yang Rui said angrily: "As the Shangshu of the East Pavilion, you are still the first and auxiliary candidate of the First Dynasty recommended by the East King, so you have this ability, and you say such useless words?" β
Lin Ke was afraid. The man immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The sin of the minister deserves death." β
Yang Rui's anger calmed down a little, and he scolded: "Ten thousand deaths are not enough, one death is enough." β
Lin Ke was as silent as a cicada, but Yang Rui immediately added, "But I won't kill a courtier because he can't do it." You don't have to be the secretary of the East Pavilion, you don't have to be a servant in the ministry first, and have a good experience. β
When Lin Ke heard this, he was puzzled, but he also felt that this didn't seem to be an intention to punish him.
His original Dongge Shangshu was just a scholarly official, and he didn't have any real power at all, and now he went to the Ministry of Officials. When he became a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, he felt that he had been lowered, but in fact, he was given real power to do things. But in this way, he can no longer lead the errand of Shangshutai, and when he thinks about it, the official is still demoted, and many people have official positions above him.
"Your Majesty...... The grace of not killing. Lin Ke kowtowed.
"Alright, there is a shortage of talented people around me now. If you can't get me, see how I clean you up! Yang Rui said with some resentment.
Lin Ke can only be submissive. Then he got up from the ground, and the whole person stood there as if his muscles and bones had been twitched.
Yang Rui said to the little eunuch again: "Summons the officials of the six departments. β
Subsequently, a group of people came in, all of whom were the main officials of the Sixth Ministry, but many of them had no real power. After all, the real power is under the control of the East Palace.
Yang Rui did not explain to these people what was going on in the city this time, but only made some arrangements to remove many people from the six departments. No one dares to say anything, they all know that something is happening in the city, and at this time, it may be that the imperial court is thinking about stability. And some officials still wish that they would be dismissed, so that they can get out of the matter and no longer have to worry about the political struggle.
At such times, people think more about being alone than fighting for power and profit.
After the arrangement, Yang Rui asked everyone to go out, leaving only Yang Luochuan and Lin Ke a few people, although Lin Ke has been demoted to the Ministry of Rites, his position in the court will still not be shaken, Yang Rui also made it clear before that Lin Ke will also lead the errand of Shangshutai. This also made Lin Ke extremely pleased.
"I have been in power for 18 years, and now the situation is chaotic, and I have no shirk responsibility." Yang Rui said, "In the past ten days, I should meditate on my own mistakes, confess to my ancestors in the palace, and no longer ask about court affairs." β
When Yang Rui said this, Han Jian and Yang Luochuan didn't think anything about it, but Lin Ke was very nervous.
If Yang Rui quits the dynasty, he can't imagine what chaos will happen in Luoyang. Yang Rui's resignation will mean that the power will fall back into the hands of the East Palace, and he used to mediate between the court and the East Palace, but now that he has been demoted, who else can deal with the East Palace? Lin Ke thought about it, this coup d'Γ©tat will not be aimed at the palace and let the empress completely hand over power? Thinking about it again, it's not necessarily true, even if the Eastern Prince's Mansion doesn't need any coup d'Γ©tat, it has completely controlled the imperial court, why do you have to do this extra thing?
At this time, the others didn't speak, but Han Jian got up and said: "Your Majesty should think twice, if Your Majesty is not in the court, I'm afraid no one can coordinate the overall situation." β
Yang Rui looked at Han Jian and smiled, "Isn't there still Dongwang you?" β
"The minister knows that his ability is limited, and he can't take on this big responsibility." Han Jian saluted.
Yang Rui glared at Han Jian and said, "King Dong, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect?" β
Han Jian didn't expect Yang Rui to use the power of resistance to oppress him, so just when he didn't know what to say, Yang Rui said again: "When I was in Jiangdu, I was suffering from a serious illness, so I asked you to come out to preside over the overall situation." You are still in charge of the country, why can't you come out to preside over the overall situation? This matter is decided in advance, and after I have meditated on myself, you don't have to worry too much. Isn't there still Lin Shilang and King Nan to assist you now? β
Lin Ke on the side sighed a little, he was originally a scholar who was not big or small, but now he has become a waiter. The original Shangshu could only be dispatched by the East King at will, and now a squire, isn't he going to be led by the nose?
Han Jian looked at Yang Luochuan, then at Lin Ke, and saluted and said, "The minister obeys the order." β
Yang Rui nodded with satisfaction and said, "That is the case, King Nan, Lin Shilang, you should go back first." I was going to leave the East King and his wife behind, and I asked for some details. β
Yang Luochuan originally wanted to go out of the palace with Han Jian and Yang Li'er, and asked Yang Li'er about her pregnancy by the way, but now Yang Rui directly ordered him to expel the guest, knowing that there was no such opportunity, so he had to get up and go out with Lin Ke.
Everyone left, Han Jian got up and was about to ask, but Yang Rui also got up and said, "This is not the place to talk, go back to the dormitory." β
Han Jian sighed, he couldn't understand Yang Rui's mind more and more.
Han Jian and Yang Li'er were walking together this time, and after Yang Rui, they went to the dormitory together, Yang Rui was also a little tired and sat on the bed, sighed and said: "I really don't want to pay attention to this court matter for a moment." β
"If you don't want to ignore it, just push it all to me?" Han Jian frowned.
Yang Rui smiled and said: "The male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, the truth has remained unchanged since ancient times, doesn't the husband want the concubine to be softer?" β
Han Jian said: "What about thinking about yourself? β
Yang Rui said with a smile: "In the past ten days, I will practice Buddha meditation in the temple, shouldn't the husband support the concubine?" β
As soon as Han Jian heard this, he felt as if it wasn't that simple. Yang Rui went to meditate on himself, doesn't that mean that in the past ten days, it is difficult for him to even meet Yang Rui?
Sure enough, Yang Rui said: "Seeing that Sister Xin'er is about to arrive in Luoyang, my husband should be very busy these days, and I don't have time to see the concubine, so the concubine will also make a little sacrifice for the sake of being able to stay with my husband in the future." Even if the husband refuses to allow it, he will not change the decision of the concubine. (To be continued......)
