Chapter 249: Iron and Bone
After Han Jian finished talking to Yang Li'er, he turned to look in the direction of the gate of the Yushitai, took out a list from his arms, and said: "There are a few relatives who are still in prison, I don't know if the prison country can take a look, which of them has no evidence of guilt, I am grateful." ”
Han Jian said, bowing down to offer the book. Yang Yu's face darkened, now it is not him who just let a few people go, but who is named and released, this kind of disrespectful behavior makes him very annoyed. However, he also knew the current affairs, and knew that it was not a good deed to force him at the moment, so he waved his hand and asked his entourage to step forward to take over Han Jian's list, and when he opened it, he saw that they were all officials he hated to the core, and the positions at the head were Gu Weipan and Cui Mingli.
These two people, one is the second auxiliary minister of the dynasty, and the future first auxiliary minister of the empress, this person does not support his accession to the throne as the emperor, and his attitude is tough, and he can be said to be ignorant. Gu Weipan used to be sleek and sophisticated, and originally he thought that among many officials, Gu Weipan was a breakthrough, but the result was that other high-level ministers either chose to support him to "conform to the mandate of heaven", or chose to turn a blind eye, but Gu Weipan became a representative of those who opposed him. Yang Yu didn't dare to attack a high-ranking official like Gu Weipan, because Gu Weipan represented a lot of people behind him after all, but if Gu Weipan didn't go to prison, his life would be very sad.
Let's talk about Cui Mingli. If Gu Weipan just made trouble with him, and Cui Mingli used his erudite status to gather scholars from all over the world to denounce him, it was simply to treat him as a chaotic minister and thief. Yang Yu was angry and sent a respected academic representative like Cui Mingli to prison in order to give a warning to the world's scholars: the world belongs to the Yang family's men. And not the surname Yang woman.
Now Han Jian asked him for these two people, which made him quite angry.
"This prison country will go back, find out the facts of the case, and send the person to the Dongwang Mansion." Yang Yu said coldly.
"In that case, thank you first." Han Jian thanked him and said, "If Jian Guo doesn't believe his words, he will really be disappointed." ”
Yang Yu glared at Han Jian, feeling annoyed in his heart. After all, he was also jealous of the power of the Eastern Wangfu represented by Han Jian, and the Jiangdu was one place, with hundreds of thousands of troops. Plus the soldiers and horses of the Southern Palace. It is enough to shake the trend of the world. And Yang Yu knew very well that he used the soldiers and horses of the Northern Palace, and without the support of the Southern Palace, and the East Palace, he would not be able to suppress the jackals of the Northern Palace. It can't compete with the West Palace.
"Prison State. Leave. ”
Although Yang Li'er didn't want to go. was still pulled away by Han Jian. Yang Li'er glanced at Yang Yu angrily, hating to take down this person, and then force the palace to find out what happened.
After leaving. Yang Li'er was silent all the way, she was still used as a gunman by Han Jian before she got angry, and she hated Han Jian for believing in a shameless villain so much, and she didn't wait to pick someone up, so she left so lightly.
"Please Miss Yang to the East Palace." Han Jian walked over and said to Yang Li'er.
"Hmm." Yang Li'er wanted to scold Han Jian, but she didn't expect Han Jian to be so acquainted and give her a chance to scold. So he nodded and led his men to the East Palace.
When they arrived at the Dongwang Mansion, Han Cui's family, Gu Xin'er and others were already waiting for the situation. Han Cuishi originally thought that Han Jian might enter the palace to see the empress, but after learning the details, he was a little afraid and said: "Jian'er, you went to the Yushitai to make trouble like this, aren't you afraid that the kid surnamed Yang will trouble you afterwards?" ”
Han Cuishi asked the question, and Yang Li'er also looked at Han Jian. At this time, they were in the main hall of the East Palace, in the entire main hall, except for Han Jian, there were only Han Cui's and Yang Li'er, Gu Xin'er was also a woman, she knew her identity very well, and chose to avoid it.
"Sanniang, I wasn't sure yet. But when I saw Yang Yu, I verified one thing. Han Jian said, "This time it is about rebellion, and Yang Yu is definitely not the mastermind." ”
Han Jian's words made Han Cuishi stunned. Han Cuishi hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" The kid surnamed Yang is not the mastermind? Who's that? ”
Han Jian sighed: "Yang Yu himself is fledgling, what he could rely on in the past was the Northern King Party, but now the Northern King Party has almost collapsed, and even the Northern King has fallen into the prisoner of the lower ranks, and the West King is also possible." If Yang Yu had no one behind him, he would not dare to rebel, and his majesty might still be safe until now. ”
Yang Li'er asked, "How can the East King determine this?" ”
Han Jian said: "It's very simple. Now that Yang Yu has taken control of the military and political defense of Luoyang City, why did he not ascend the throne as emperor? ”
Yang Li'er thought for a moment, her eyes refocused on Han Fitness, and said, "Why?" ”
"It's not that he doesn't want to ascend the throne, he's waiting for an opportunity." Han Jian said, "Although His Majesty has robbed him of the throne that originally belonged to him, but His Majesty is his sister after all, and he treats him as his own, and His Majesty's accession to the throne was determined by the first emperor, and in fact, His Majesty is indeed ready to return the throne to the Yang family's male lineage." If he wants to usurp the throne, he may not be ruthless to kill the king! ”
Han Cuishi said: "Jian'er, you are too merciful, how do you know the sinister nature of this royal struggle for power? In history, for the sake of the throne, is there less murder of father and brother? ”
Han Jian said: "Sanniang hasn't listened to me yet, why did you interrupt me first?" In fact, I guess that the main reason why His Majesty is safe now is because Yang Yu is not sure that after killing the monarch, he will be able to sit on the throne safely. ”
"Huh?" Han Cuishi said, "You mean, there may be some fans behind him?" ”
"It's not a supporter, it's an exchange of interests." Han Jian said, "Originally, I thought that whether it was the king of the north or the king of the west, except for these two, no one has such a strong strength to help Yang Yu ascend to the throne." Now that I think about it, the one who instigated Yang Yu to ascend the throne behind the scenes could only be the king of the north. ”
Yang Li'er was a little surprised: "Isn't the King of the North imprisoned?" ”
"The North King is imprisoned, but there is still the Little North King, and the North King Party has not been completely wiped out. If the King of the West supported Yang Yu behind the scenes, then Yang Yu should have killed the king and ascended the throne a long time ago, without waiting for more than a month. Yang Yu also knew that the ambition of the wolf son of the Northern King was also plotting the national politics of the Wei Dynasty, and if he could not create a situation and public opinion that was favorable to his ascension to the throne, he would only be subjected to the appeasement led by the Northern King. Han Jian said, "On the one hand, the king of the north pushed Yang Yu to ascend the throne, and then dismantled the throne after ascending the throne. ”
Han Cuishi thought for a while, nodded and said: "The Northern King pushed the boy surnamed Yang to ascend the throne, and then rebelled against him, so the one who rebelled was the kid surnamed Yang, and his Northern Wangjun became a righteous army." ”
Han Jian also nodded and said, "I think Yang Yu also saw this, after he took control of the situation in Luoyang, he did not immediately ascend the throne, but waited for the opportunity to first eradicate some factors that were unfavorable to him, such as the opposition of the DPRK and China." As long as he does not ascend the throne, the king of the north has no reason and excuse to oppose him, but temporarily makes peace with him, on the one hand, he says that he will help him ascend the throne, but on the other hand, he is secretly planning to seize Luoyang City. ”
When Yang Li'er heard this, she also understood, and said, "If you don't go south to Yang Yu, do you want to give the North King a chance?" ”
"Yes." Han Jian said, "If we detain Yang Yu, it may make some rebellious ministers and thieves take risks, which is not good for Your Majesty." ”
Yang Li'er said coldly: "But if you let Yang Yu go, it will be beneficial to us?" If he doesn't hand him over when he goes back, what can we do about him? ”
Han Jian said: "I don't think Yang Yu dares not to make friends." If he doesn't hand someone out, he will lose his trust with us and the world. Now those ministers are imprisoned by him, and even if they are handed over to us, these ministers will not be reinstated, and they have lost their threat to him. He wanted to kill these ministers only to vent his anger. Instead of killing some irrelevant people, it is better to be a favor and hand over people to us, and by the way, let the Northern King Party think that the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu received his Yang Yu's affection, so that the North King thinks that we stand on Yang Yu's position. This was beneficial to his ascension to the throne. ”
Yang Li'er frowned, these things are very complicated to think about, she doesn't want to think about it, although she is a heroine, she is not good at intrigue with others. She would rather lead her soldiers and horses into battle to kill the enemy than engage in these mental battles.
In the end, Han Cuishi sighed: "Even if we can rescue some loyal ministers of my Wei Dynasty, the situation is still irretrievable, and the safety of His Majesty is still on the front line." ”
Han Jian stood at the door, looking at the gloomy sky, in the past few days, the weather has been suddenly cold, seeing that the cold winter is coming, he also has a sense of powerlessness in Luoyang. After all, this is not Jiangdu, he has no power, in the past, with the support of the empress, he may still do something, but now that Luoyang City has been occupied by rebellious ministers and thieves, he seems to have no better choice than to leave Luoyang.
At dusk, there was movement at the gate of the East Palace, and Han Jian, Yang Li'er, and Han Cuishi personally welcomed them out of the mansion. I saw that one carriage after another stopped, and some people who looked like beggars in ragged clothes got out of the carriage, but they were all ministers named by Han Jian.
However, Han Jian ordered more than 20 ministers, but in the end, Yang Yu sent only twelve or thirteen people, plus their families, there were quite a few people.
The two people Han Jian cared about the most, Gu Weipan came back, after a lot of prison pain, Gu Weipan has aged a lot, no longer the iron-clad appearance of the past, but very vicissitudes, with whipped blood marks on his body, unkempt hair, he didn't let people support him when he got off the carriage, and he had to struggle down alone.
"Chief Gu is okay?" Han Jian stepped forward and looked at Gu Weipan's wrinkled face and gray hair, and he was a little choked up with this greeting.
If Gu Weipan obeyed Yang Yu, why did he end up like this, in the past, he always thought that Gu Weipan was the chief minister of the Shangting Department, and he had his own sleek worldliness, but when it came to the king's affairs and honor, Gu Weipan really achieved iron-clad.
"Don't come to the East King unharmed." Gu Weipan smiled when he saw Han Jian, this smile was no longer as stiff as before, with a bit of relief and a pleasant face.
Han Jian smiled and stepped forward to help Gu Weipan, but Gu Weipan waved his hand to signal him to come.
Gu Weipan had a wound on his leg, which should have been left after being severely tortured in the cell, and he was very unsteady when he walked. At this time, Gu Xin'er got the news and went out to the door, seeing her father like this, Gu Xin'er burst into tears.
"Alright. Just come back. Gu Weipan said, but his eyes were looking in the direction of the palace, and there was a lot of debt in his eyes, "It's a pity that Old Man Cui can't come back!" (To be continued......)
