In the middle of June, the city of Jiangdu was still a scene of singing and dancing, as if people had forgotten that there was still a war approaching.

The court didn't mention it, the people below didn't say it, the dispatch of soldiers and horses was almost in a state of stagnation, Han Jian only needed to see a few courtiers in the Dongwang Mansion every day, and there were not many people to see in a few days, but it seemed that Han Jian, the emperor, began to neglect government affairs after returning to Jiangdu. This is somewhat similar to the appearance of Han Jian when he first arrived in Beichuan a year ago.

The people did not feel the pressure of the war, but those who had a heart did not think so. In the eyes of Ning Yuan and the others, they were always staring at Han Jian's every move, and they were even afraid that Han Jian would make a noise in Beichuan City before, using himself as a pretense, in fact, he was brewing a war thousands of miles away. But at least Han Jian returned to Jiangdu for two months, without too many big moves, and even the rule of officials in the imperial court was very lenient, which did not cause much reaction from the ministers of the court.

On June 29, it was more than two months after Han Jian arrived in Jiangdu.

In the past few days, Gangneung, which is thousands of miles away, has suddenly received more war reports. Mainly Su Tingxia played the imperial court to ask for reinforcements, Su Tingxia's troops were stationed in Jiangling to prepare for an attack on the important military fortresses of the Southern Dynasty in Jiangbei, Su Tingxia's troops had arrived in Jiangling for some time, and even Su Tingxia was questioning the imperial court's policy of using troops, and repeatedly asked the imperial court to send troops from Yuzhou and Jiangdu to support, but they were all rejected by Han Jian.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the use of troops can no longer be delayed. If it goes on for a long time, it is better to withdraw the conscription horses, so that the two dynasties can be peaceful. ”

By this time, Ning Yuan had not only to ask about political affairs in the DPRK, but also had a lot of military affairs. Han Jian put down the notebook, asked Ning Yuan to finish the matter that should be played, and let him go back first, and then summoned a few generals who stayed in Jiangdu, and mainly asked them what they meant.

The generals and strategists who are now staying by Han Jian's side. They also believe that summer is not a good time to start a war against the south, and it is best to wait until the autumn harvest is approaching, and it is best to sweep the south once, so that the southern dynasty will lose a harvest. However, it is not possible to make the Southern Dynasty come to the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, otherwise it will be a little difficult for the Su Tingxia Division, which is the most suitable for the Northern Dynasty to fight this kind of tactics of fighting to support war.

Prevailing perception. It will take more than a month to wait, and by the beginning of August, the soldiers and horses will be able to move south. Han Jian also agreed to this strategy at this semi-public military meeting, which meant that the war would be delayed, and for Su Tingxia's request for reinforcements, Han Jian was also ready to recruit Han Zhao's troops stationed in Yuzhou to lead 20,000 troops to rescue, and at the same time, the grain and grass of the two armies also arrived one after another, and this war in Chu will not affect the big war situation for the time being.

Han Jian met with a lot of people that day. It was also the day he saw the most ministers and generals in one day after he arrived in Jiangdu.

In the evening, Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion, but it happened to be the family banquet at the end of the month of the Dongwang Mansion, and everyone in the family had to attend if they were free from illness and disaster, and only Han Jian's eleven mothers were in good health, in fact, Han Jian also knew that it was a woman's illness.

"Jian'er, now there is rumors outside about when this war will start. If we don't fight, it's better for our family to stay in Jiangdu. Han Xu also forgot what Han Jian told her before not to ask about political affairs, and began to gossip about it again.

Han Jian didn't have much formality. Not to the point where no one else could sit if he didn't sit, but even though the meal was ready. In fact, he will not be able to open the table until he arrives. Han Jian picked up the chopsticks and said indifferently: "Who can say the war, maybe tomorrow the soldiers and horses will cross the river and go south." ”

Han Xu touched his chest and said, "Don't scare Liuniang, if this really starts, then it won't make a fuss?" It's really not good to go back to Luoyang, in the end, Luoyang is far away from this eventful place in the south. The habit of living can also live. ”

Han Jian could hear it, but in fact, Han Xu said these words to test his tone. Or now Han Song, who is far away in Luoyang, and Han Cui and Han Zhao in Yuzhou, all want to know his intentions, and they can't write directly to inquire, so they have to send letters to his aunts. Let's ask Han Xu to knock on the side.

After that, Han Jian didn't say anything, and Han Xu was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Han Jian was very strict about his inner relatives now, mainly because he was afraid that someone would spread some news from the inside that shouldn't be passed out.

At the end of the family banquet in the evening, Han Jian asked the people in each room to go back first, and he left Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er to discuss things, and he also wanted them to stabilize the tone of these palace ladies.

"Xianggong, you don't know that not only are the people worried about the war, but even we are actually uneasy. Who asked Xiang Gong to say that he would lead the troops to fight in person, if Xiang Gong left, we would not see anyone for a long time, which is really worrying. ”

Yang Li'er was still a little pitiful when she said this, but let the dividend benefactor next to her smile.

Yang Li'er was slightly dissatisfied: "It made Sister Xin'er laugh at others." ”

"What's the matter, what my sister said is actually right, every day my sister comes to visit the door, in fact, I am also asking my husband if he said when he will lead the army. In fact, it can be seen that those sisters are also worried about their husbands. Gu Xin'er said in a very calm tone.

Han Jian nodded and said, "Then you also remember not to say anything." Maybe I don't remember to keep it a secret and tell you about it, but it's a family, and sometimes I don't want to hide it......"

Yang Li'er interrupted Han Jian's words and said: "I don't hide it, except for saying what I have and doesn't have every day, when did I say the right thing?" Sister Xin'er, did the husband say to you? ”

Gu Xin'er thought about it first, and then shook her head. Yang Li'er continued, "Look, I didn't say anything, and let us keep it a secret. What's the use of saying it? ”

"Not really." Han Jian said, "Some small details and leaves, it seems that they are unintentional words, you and Xin'er will not think about it now, maybe they will say it to others, these people will take the words out, and those who have a heart will figure out some meanings, and things are not so simple." It is still necessary to be cautious in words and deeds. ”

This time, Yang Li'er no longer stiffened her mouth with Han Jian, and she and Gu Xin'er got up and saluted.

"Okay, okay, in the end, it's a family, you don't have to be a king, just sit down and talk." Han Jian has never had a big deal with Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er, which is also the reason why the people around him have not had any major disputes so far, he just wants to treat the women around him with sincerity, so as not to cause jealousy and comparison in their hearts. But Han Jian also knows that some things are women's nature, and all he can do is to treat the women around him as equally as possible. But there are many things that he can't decide.

As soon as Yang Li'er told Gu Xin'er about the matter in the backyard of the palace, Yang Li'er suddenly said: "Xianggong, what Liu Niang said at the dinner table is not unreasonable. Since staying in Jiangdu feels more at home, why don't we stay in Jiangdu all the time? ”

Han Jian smiled: "Then you don't want the capital of Luoyang?" Should the capital be moved? That's a big deal for the court, and you can't make decisions by yourself. ”

Yang Li'er said: "That's not what I said, take Jiangdu as a companion." Why don't we stay and go back for a few years? ”

Han Jian stood up and sighed slightly: "When I came back to Jiangdu, although I had the intention of visiting, the more important thing was to use Jiangdu as the starting point for sending troops, and send troops south from here. If you can unify the rivers and mountains, it doesn't hurt to stay in Jiangdu, the world will be all over, and the people will be safe. It can also make the world surrender, where is not it all the same? But once the war goes badly, Luoyang is the king's spirit, and if you want to calm the people's hearts, I, who is the emperor, must go back. ”

Yang Li'er saluted and apologized: "Don't be surprised, when the concubine says the wrong thing, can't you?" ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, he didn't mean to blame Yang Li'er. In fact, he said that he didn't say anything unexpected about family affairs with the women around him, but the ancient kings can be said to be the unity of the family and the country. State affairs are also family affairs, and he has already made his determination to send troops out. It's just that he can't explain the detailed plan for the use of troops, in the end, there are some things that he is also planning, and the matter is so secret that only a few people know about the whole thing, and these people are the executors of the plan, and Han Jian trusts him enough.

"In two days, the East Palace's Mansion will be slightly repaired. If there is anything missing in each courtyard, you should write it down first and let the people in the inner library handle it. Han Jian finally said in a tone of gossip, "I'm tired, I'll send you back first." I also have to run some errands. I can't be with you tonight. ”

As for the question of who Han Jian accompanies is actually a taboo topic in the inner palace, Han Jian has not yet reached the point of being too ridiculous, and it has not yet reached the point of letting the women of each courtyard enter the service together. The chances that women in each courtyard can get their husbands are basically equal, and depending on the days, many times Han Jian will take care of Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er, mainly because they are concubines and the main masters of the six palaces, even if Han Jian is a little biased, others will not have any opinions.

Sending Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er back, the first thing Han Jian had to do was to issue his secret order to Han Cui's and Han Zhao's who were in Yuzhou.

Earlier in the day, Han Jian had already informed Han Zhao in an urgent official letter that he would lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Jiangling, and form a front line with Su Tingxia to prevent Zhu Tongjing's soldiers and horses from joining forces with the defenders of the Southern Dynasties in Jiangling City. But Han Jian's real purpose is not to make Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses more secure, but to play some tricks on reinforcements.

Han Jian's secret order to the two aunts was to let Han Zhao personally lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Su Tingxia at the same time, and at the same time, the troops were stationed in the west of the general's city, ready to wave troops into Shu at any time, but it was only to make such a posture, which made the Southern Dynasty panic.

Shu has always been the granary of the Southern Dynasty, the military food supplied by Shu accounted for more than fifty percent of the military food of the Southern Dynasty, if Shu was in danger, the Southern Dynasty had to send reinforcements to rescue. Now Han Jian is putting on a posture that any place can become the main battlefield, and he also wants the Southern Dynasty to feel that he has a plan to wave his troops into Shu.

The secret letter was issued, and Han Jian once again summoned several strategists who were to be sent to the front line to explain something to them. In addition to letting them give advice to the commander they serve on a daily basis, Han Jian also let them have the power to secretly write a letter, the strategists are not only military advisors, but also as the nature of supervising the army, in fact, this is also a semi-open secret in the army, in the end, these strategists can also be used as a kind of supervision by the emperor to the generals, so that they know that as emperors, they are also keeping an eye on them at any time.

After arranging everything, Han Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

I have seen a lot of people at the end of the day, and he himself feels a little tired, these days are also a little deserted, and he is also very idle every day in Jiangdu, and he will feel powerless if he is a little busy.

"Am I getting old?" Han Jian felt a little sorry for himself.

To say that his physical age is not very old, but his mental age is old enough, after being reincarnated, it was originally the age when the old man talked about juvenile madness, and he did things more in line with a young man, but then gradually became more radical, he wanted to accumulate his mentality after success, and be able to look at things in a more calm way.

Han Jian went to Fa Yi's courtyard, and it was his turn to accompany Fa Yi.

But when I arrived at Fa Yi's courtyard, I learned from the maid that Fa Ye was called by a nobleman, in fact, the title of "nobleman" is the title of Yang Rui in the East Wangfu and the palace people, in the end Yang Rui was the empress, and now although she is the emperor's concubine, she has no official title, and no one dares to call it indiscriminately, so she has to be called "noble".

Han Jian had no choice but to leave the palace and go to the office of the East Wangfu in the city, which was also Yang Rui's temporary palace, after coming to Jiangdu, Yang Rui did not need to move into the East Wangfu to live, but she and her daughter still lived in a familiar place.

When Han Jian arrived, Yang Rui was about to send Fa Yi out. It stands to reason that even if Yang Rui abdicates the position, her status is also above Fa Yi, every time Fa Ye sees her, she will be very nervous, Yang Rui will put up a shelf and even look at people a little incorrectly, this time she actually took the initiative to come out to send Fa Yi away.

Seeing Han Jian, Fa Yi bowed respectfully, but she didn't need to say anything, she was silent, and Han Jian was used to it. Yang Rui seemed to be a little resentful, and he didn't even have a number of courtesies, so he turned around and went inside.

"The concubine will retire first." Law is also the way.

"Why hurry up, since I'm here too, let's go inside and talk together." Han Jian held Fa Yi's hand, perhaps because Fa Yi often had to practice, her hands were always cold, which was also a good thing in summer, Han Jian held her hand for a while, and her mood could be calm, and at the same time, she could make her heart feel a little warm through the hand of Fa Yi.

"Hmm." Fa Yi nodded slightly, followed Han Fitness into the house, and when he saw Yang Rui inside, Fa Yi naturally withdrew his hand.

Yang Rui sat there and took care of his daughter, just like the coldness and disdain he had every time he saw Han Jian in the Luoyang Palace: "Knowing that I invited your beauty master, I can't even wait, and I have to come and pick people up in person, or are you afraid that I will be unfavorable to her?" ”

Han Jian sat down, he wanted Fa Yi to sit with him, but Fa Yi just stood behind him, as if the emperor was sitting and the ministers couldn't sit down.

"Whatever you think, Yi'er is of the same heart as me, I, who is the emperor, know how to choose between relatives and relatives in everything. If it's you, I'm afraid it's the same. (To be continued.) )
