Chapter 522: Military Mutiny (3)
The night in Luoyang in early spring is not very peaceful, and the sound of barking dogs can be heard everywhere. The temporary tranquility of Luoyang did not bring a stable life to the people of Luoyang City, and this night that should have been calm was also a little depressed and uneasy.
In the Dongwang Mansion, Han Jian did not go to bed early, he was reading the question about the detailed work in the army from Su Tingxia's report. Because of the closeness of the matter, Han Jian didn't have time to put off the matter until the next day, even at night, he had to solve the matter first.
"King Dong, that's the general situation. If there is any omission, I am afraid that it will need to be thoroughly investigated before it can be clarified. ”
Su Tingxia's whole person looks very shrewd, he belongs to a person with brains and courage. After Han Jian gave him the important task, he has been doing it day and night, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. It's not that Su Tingxia is the kind of person who is particularly keen on work, he just wants to show an attitude so that the East King can be reassured, and not so much as to wonder if he has other purposes.
"Brother Su is tired for so many days, let's go back and rest early. The matter is over for the time being, and if anything happens, someone will be sent to inform you. Han Jian said with a solemn expression.
Su Tingxia's face did not become relaxed because he let go of his burden, and even his gaze looked a little deeper.
Now that Han Jian has sent him to investigate the general situation, the remaining question is to do it, and he doesn't know what kind of movement will happen. But judging from his previous understanding of the East King, this time the rumor will not be small.
Su Tingxia left, and Han Jian took the copywriting to the inner courtyard. He was silent all the way, so that the maidservants in charge of lighting the lanterns were a little frightened.
Han Jian didn't have much in the Dongwang Mansion on weekdays, and he was also very friendly to ordinary people, which also made him get enough respect. If he is said to be silent, it will mean that there may be a bloody storm.
When she arrived at her room, Yang Li'er stood at the door and waited for a long time. Seeing Han Jian, he greeted Yang Rui inside and came out to greet him.
"Xianggong ......"
Yang Li'er called out, and found that Han Jian's attitude was not quite right, so she didn't continue.
Han Jian pointed to the inside of the door and motioned to speak inside.
in the room. The lights are not very bright, Yang Rui has visited the Dongwang Mansion a lot at night, and every time Yang Rui comes over, Han Jian will specially ask the Dongwang Mansion to be more low-key, and no one is allowed to come and disturb. This time was no exception, after Yang Rui arrived at the Dongwang Mansion, Han Jian asked the people in the mansion not to approach the inner courtyard, and the others only thought that Han Jian and Yang Li'er didn't like others to come and disturb.
At this time, Yang Rui was sitting on the bed. After freshening up, Yang Rui looked more quiet and virtuous, like an ordinary woman, sitting there without much of a king's shelf.
"Husband, is there something wrong?" Yang Rui saw Han Jian and Yang Li'er entering the room, so he asked sideways.
"Hmm."
Han Jian answered, walked to the table and sat down, poured a cup of tea, picked it up but didn't drink it. Instead, he handed over the copywriting in his hand to Yang Rui.
Han Jian had a lot of information on hand, and Yang Rui didn't feel anything wrong at a glance. After all, you have to look carefully to detect the clues. Yang Rui watched by himself for a long time, while Han Jian kept looking at her.
"What do you think?" When the time was about to begin, Han Jian asked.
Yang Rui shook his head slightly, his expression was slightly hesitant, and said, "If there is a problem in the army, the concubine believes it." But if there is such a big problem, the concubine thinks that it may be that the husband is making a big fuss. This kind of problem is almost to the point of no return, according to the concubine. Even if this is the case, it should not be rushed, and it should be waited and seen. ”
Han Jian nodded, he felt that Yang Rui's words made sense.
Nowadays, there are too many problems in the Luoyang military, and in the face of political interests, the problem of loyalty and betrayal is already very complicated. was investigated by Su Tingxia, and even Han Jian himself would wonder if it was because his imperial majesty had no way to lead the people below to have such a big problem. If he hadn't handed over the investigation to Su Tingxia, he would have suspected that Su Tingxia was deliberately making a fuss.
Han Jian finally had to admit that it was Su Tingxia who did have the ability to find out so many shocking questions. If he turned a blind eye to these problems, it would be terrible if they erupted. The fact that some people in the army have disappeared and been investigated for no reason has aroused the suspicion of many people, and it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not take risks in order to protect themselves.
Han Jian sighed: "Guard Zhang and I have been friends for many years, and I can be regarded as conscientious on weekdays. I didn't believe it when he said that there were so many problems around him. But some things, from the beginning, are aware that there is a problem, so they will investigate the problem, and the matter will gradually surface. Now it seems that even if the matter is not instigated by Zhang Guard, and the army is strict about the problem, he is also duty-bound. ”
Han Jian's words made Yang Rui silent for a while, and finally Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said, "Husband, don't be in a hurry." ”
Yang Rui has been persuading Han Jian, mainly because she understands Han Jian's character, and Han Jian is very decisive in doing things. Once it is said that Han Jian is from the side of the military, the impact will be very great, and it may shake the issue of Luoyang City. And now the entire defense of Luoyang is basically under the control of Zhang Xing's department, if there is a problem with bending the waist, will it not lead to a heavy political incident?
Han Jian looked at the sky, it was already the second watch, and the night was already very dark. Originally, it was the middle of the month, and the night would not be too dark, but because the weather in Luoyang has not been very good recently, this night in Luoyang is in a gloomy state.
Yang Rui said: "These things, the husband may as well deal with them slowly, it is difficult for the concubine to leave the palace once, and the husband should go to bed earlier." ”
Han Jian felt a little uneasy in his heart, the matter had been almost investigated, and many people in the army who had problems were also obvious, so if he could still sleep peacefully, he himself felt a little ridiculous. He is surrounded by jackals, how can he sleep peacefully?
"Rui'er, some things should be dealt with earlier." Han Jian suddenly got up from his chair and said, "If this matter is not resolved, it may only break out in a few days." After all, the withdrawal of troops is imminent, and General Lin's soldiers and horses will all be withdrawn to the south of the Yellow River, and Luoyang City is in danger and may collapse at any time. ”
Yang Rui saw that Han Jian intended to be born, so he got up and said, "Where is Husband, where are you going?" ”
Even Yang Li'er looked at Han Jian a little nervously, with reluctance in her eyes.
Although Han Jian was going to do the right thing, after all, Yang Li'er was reluctant to go out when her husband came back in the dead of night.
"It's better to settle things sooner." Han Jian said.
Yang Rui stepped forward and pulled Han Jian's sleeve and said, "What the husband said lightly, how can the matter be solved overnight?" If the husband is in a hurry, it will backfire, and at that time, I am afraid that the endgame will not be able to be contained. And now how many soldiers and horses can Luoyang Fujun trust? ”
"What do you mean, then?" Han Jian looked at Yang Rui, and he felt that Yang Rui should have an idea in his heart.
Yang Rui sighed lightly: "It's the husband who wants to go, get up and go together." I can't rest assured in my heart, my husband is gone, how can my concubine be at peace? ”
Han Jian saw that Yang Rui was full of sincerity, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”
Yang Li'er on the side said: "Don't leave the concubine behind." Although I am clumsy and can't take care of big things, I can still protect my husband and sister in front of me......"
As she spoke, Yang Li'er also took off the saber hanging on the wall and held it in her hand, looking resolute and unyielding.
"Okay, the three of us are of the same heart, let's do a big thing tonight." Han Jian smiled.
Yang Rui and Yang Li'er looked at each other and smiled, the two laughed with Han Jian between the beds on weekdays, and often said that they would do big things, but after all, it was just a joke between the boudoirs. Now that they really want to fight side by side like this, even the two daughters will feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially Yang Rui, the people she could trust around her in the past were either palace maids or eunuchs, and the most lacking thing was a confidant. Now that she has Han Jian, she seems to be more "lazy", and now when something happens in the army, Han Jian can also charge ahead, and she will feel much more at ease.
Han Jian asked Yang Rui and Yang Li'er to change into men's clothes, so that it was also convenient to move.
After that, the three of them went to the main hall of the East Palace, but Han Jian did not plan to mobilize the guards outside, because the guard system was basically Zhang Xing's people, and once he left the East Palace at night, it was impossible for the military not to notice it.
"Where are we going?" Yang Rui looked at Han Jian who was looking at the wall with some puzzlement and asked.
"Wu'an." Han Jian said, "But you should also be cautious and not be noticed." ”
Yang Rui sighed lightly: "In the Wu'an Institute, there are only a few generals on duty at most, what are you going to do when your husband goes?" ”
Han Jian said with a smile: "You have to be decisive in doing things, it is not advisable to thunder and rain a little, but it is even more undesirable to procrastinate." This time, Rui'er, don't be silent for now, as long as it's stable, let's see if you can suppress the scene. ”
Yang Rui frowned, listening to Han Jian's tone, even Han Jian, the king of the east, was a little unconfident in controlling the situation.
But thinking about it again, once Han Jian made a move, people with different intentions on the military side would inevitably notice that his evil deeds were exposed, and at that time, he would take a risk, if he couldn't suppress it, what would happen to her.
Originally, Yang Rui was in the deep palace, and he and Dongwang were not together, but now the two of them are out together, if there is really something, they really can't run away.
Yang Rui didn't say much, and left from the side gate of the East King Mansion with Han Jian, there were not many guards guarding the side gate, and Han Jian's troops were all transferred to his side. What Han Jian thought was that it was one to be able to have more than one helper, even if these guards and Zhang Xing's department were inextricably linked, as long as they all stayed by his side, it would not be enough to betray them.
For Zhang Xing, Han Jian still has some expectations in his heart after all. He hoped that the matter had nothing to do with Zhang Xing, after all, since Zhang Xing was transferred to his side as the captain of the guard, he was really reluctant to give up after a few years of friendship.
