Chapter 140: The Prince's Proposal

The corruption and deficit case has come to an end for Han Jian, and there is no need to go to the listening office, the only thing Han Jian needs to do is to go and tell Gu Weipan to give his concubine a naturalization. In Han Jian's view, this matter is more tricky than handling a case.

"If things don't work well, this face will be gone." Han Jian felt a little sorry for himself, the matter was not done, he was embarrassed to see Gu Xin'er, thinking of Gu Xin'er's aggrieved and touching appearance, he felt a little distressed, which would increase his sense of mission and prompt him to do his best to deal with this matter.

However, Han Jian delayed for two days, and on the morning of the third day after going to the palace of Yanning County, he tried to arrange a speech in the Qingxu Yashe, and was about to go to the listening office to find Gu Weipan. At this time, Huang Lie hurriedly came over with a smile on his face.

"Brother Han, what a coincidence, just you?" Huang Lie said hello and took a seat directly.

"Huang Gongzi, is there something?" Han Jian said casually, a lot of Huang Lie's appearance, and said in his heart that this kid's ass was good, and he began to run around again.

Before, Sima Yi and Ruan Ping went out to call Han Jian together, but Han Jian did not accompany him. And Yang Xi has been in the palace for the past few days and has no time to come out, and Han Jian is rarely quiet.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just to find a few people to get together, this time I'm in a big disaster, I always have to hold a banquet to celebrate." Huang Lie said with a smile, seeing that Han Jian didn't seem to have the heart to listen, he was a little stupid, "Brother Han thinks that this banquet will be held in the house, okay?" ”

Han Jian thought to himself: "Last time you held a banquet, you ended up drunk and patted your ass and ran to listen to the play, this time you want to hold a banquet here, and you are addicted to eating white food?" ”

Han Jian remembered that Lin Xiaoshu reluctantly transferred accounts to him last time, and Han Jian wanted to directly push the deal that was sent to the door, but he still didn't want to worry about it with Huang Lietai. This time, Huang Lie was able to get away with the crime. It is also considered that his life should not be extinguished, and eating a white meal should be used as an antidote to him.

"Okay. When? Han Jian asked.

"Just tonight, hehe. It is better to choose a day than to hit the day. Brother Han, what do you say? Huang Lie said with a smile on his face.

Han Jianxin said that you should choose a day to marry a daughter-in-law, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day? After a while, it was time for Zhang Xing to go back to the Dongwang Mansion to get some silver, lest Lin Xiaoshu think that he wanted to eat white food here every day and affect her performance. At this time, Lin Xiaoshu, the big shopkeeper, was still in the assessment period given to her by Han Jian, and Han Jian suddenly felt that this assessment period was purely asking for trouble for himself.

"If Huang Gongzi is fine, go back and prepare first, I will go out in a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you here." Han Jian's words have the meaning of "congratulations".

It's a pity that Huang Lie is thick-skinned and can't hear the meaning of his words. asked, "Where is Brother Han going?" Next...... Can you go with you? ”

Go and talk to Gu Weipan about accepting a concubine, with Huang Lie next to him with such an open-mouthed light bulb? Han Jian shook his head helplessly and said, "Private matters, you can't go with Huang Gongzi." ”

"That's a pity. By the way, Brother Han, when I came over today, I passed by the Gongyuan, and the Gongyuan was really lively today, I heard that His Majesty had a meeting with the academicians of the East Pavilion and the West Pavilion, and those academicians, plus the students of the Gongyuan. There are also some people who go to see the lively people, and it seems that there is a festival outside the tribute courtyard. Brother Han has time, why don't you go and see it together? Huang Lie looked at Han Jian eagerly.

"Gongyuan?" Han Jian was stunned, he hadn't received the news of this matter in advance.

East Pavilion and West Pavilion. It was the two yamen of the Wei Dynasty who worked as the chief editor of the study and the revision of historical classics. In the two pavilions, there are also many officials, which can be said to be a gathering of literati. That's why. The East and West Pavilions are now also the mouthpieces of the Wei Dynasty. Mrs. Luo's father was an official to the Eastern Pavilion Shangshu, in charge of the compilation and proofreading of classics.

"What's going on inside?" Han Jian asked casually.

"Oh. Maybe it's about the crown prince, I also heard from others outside. The courtyard was too crowded, and I couldn't squeeze in. Huang Lie said with some regret.

Hearing that it was the matter of establishing the crown prince, Han Jian was also relieved. In the past few days, the question of the selection of the new prince in Luoyang City has been widely discussed, and it is the first time that the imperial court has opened up so much to listen to the opinions of the scholar class on this matter. This time, all the academicians of the Eastern and Western Pavilions discussed openly together, which can be regarded as a precedent for the establishment of the crown prince of the Wei Dynasty.

However, Han Jian felt that this discussion was very nonsense, there were two candidates for the crown prince, one was the third prince and the other was the sixth prince, and the two princes had not done anything big on weekdays, and they had no experience in governing one side with a title. Not to mention the people, even the ministers of the DPRK and China know very little about the two princes, how to make a rational choice?

At most, it is just to make a show for others to see, showing that the Wei Dynasty has a wide range of words. It is said that at this time, the envoy of Southern Qi, the great eunuch Zhu Tongjing, is still stranded in Luoyang City, Han Jian thought, is it for Zhu Tongjing to see?

"Okay Huang Gongzi, I'm going out to run errands, and I'll have a drink with you in the evening." Han Jian calculated the time, the early dynasty should almost disperse, it was time to go to the listening office to find Gu Weipan.

"Then I'll go to the Gongyuan to listen, there are also a lot of official ladies from Luoyang who are going there today, maybe I can meet one again." Huang Lie looked expectant, and rushed downstairs excitedly. When Huang Lie arrived outside the Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian saw from the window that this kid also came out with his entourage, and before he killed Li Wei, he came out alone and was not so careful.

Han Jian cleaned up his mood and took the guards directly to the listening office, he hadn't been to the listening office for a few days, and he almost forgot where the yamen was. When I entered the courtyard of the headquarters of the Upper Listening Office, I saw that there was a commotion inside, and many ministers had gathered over, as if there was something important to discuss.

Han Jian poked at that, no matter whether he knew or not, none of them came to say hello, he looked like he was afraid to avoid it. Han Jian knew that this time he put his own Treasury Yamen in the pot, such a "brutal" behavior made these officials who were not very clean in the first place jealous. At the same time, Han Jian also understood that there was a reason why these people didn't come, because he was now close to Yang Xi, and it was a sensitive period for Prince Li, and they were afraid that a greeting would cut off their future.

Those who are officials are calculating others while also planning for themselves, and they are never sloppy on the issue of standing in line.

Han Jian looked at the Kusi Yamen with the door locked in the hall, sighed a little in his heart, and went directly into the meditation hall. At this time, the person in charge of the entire Upper Listening Office, Gu Weipan, the chief minister of the Upper Listening Office, was standing in the center of the hall, as if he was holding a mobilization meeting. Seeing Han Jian come in, Gu Weipan's expression, which was originally talking eloquently, suddenly sank, and Han Jian guessed that Gu Weipan was still angry at what he had said a few days ago to prevent him from reconciling with his wife.

Han Jian didn't go up directly to find Gu Weipan, but stood aside and listened for a while. What Gu Weipan said was also related to the establishment of the crown prince, mainly to warn the ministers who listened to the office not to gossip too much in front of people to criticize this matter.

Han Jian thought to himself that Gu Weipan was very cautious on this point, and now the empress clearly wanted to speak widely and listen to opinions widely, but Gu Weipan did the opposite and refused to say anything.

However, Gu Weipan's refusal to say that it was very reasonable, who knows what the empress is thinking. However, even if there is no need for Gu Weipan to remind him of this matter, the ministers in the upper listening department also have such a cold eye-watching consciousness. Only a fool would talk nonsense about the prince in front of people. But those arrogant literati in the East and West are such a group of "fools" who don't know the times.

Han Jian glanced at Gu Weipan again, and thought to himself, Old Man Gu was also from the Gongyuan, but he didn't enter the two pavilions and was not sent abroad, and he directly took the route of the confessor to enter the court. Why doesn't Old Man Gu have the "noble sentiments" of a literati? Probably because he has been immersed in officialdom for a long time, he has worn out the edge of the literati, although occasionally he will "not know his face" in front of the empress, but this lack of acquaintance is very measured.

"False Taoism." Han Jian had another definition of Gu Weipan in his heart.

Gu Weipan's speech ended in a short time, and the people from the various branches and yamen of the listening office also returned to you. Han Jian was finally able to get close to Gu Weipan and talk to him.

"Chief Gu, An?" Han Jian smiled and stepped forward to arch his hand.

"Are you okay to come here and ask the old man's Ann?" Gu Weipan glanced at Han Jian coldly, but he was sorting out the copywriting on the table. Han Jian was worried, it was still the matter of building the tower, could it be that the matter of building the tower for so many days had not been completely resolved?

"Actually, I came down to help Chief Gu. Build a tower...... It's for the building of towers. Han Jian said as he looked for words.

Han Jian thought to himself, since the plan and details for building the tower are all from my hand, now that I talk about building the tower, you won't leave me out, right?

"No need. The old man has already made plans for the construction of the tower, if there is nothing else, you can go back first. Gu Weipan said coldly.

"Actually, let's talk about corruption cases below...... Can Chief Gu take some time to report on the important facts of the case? Han Jian pretended to be mysterious.

"Embezzlement?" Gu Weipan glanced at Han Jian, and he didn't know if what Han Jian said was true or not. He could have refused it outright, but in this case, the Fengcha Division of the Shangting Office also has the responsibility of assisting in the investigation, and this is also a matter of whether he can be promoted to Taifu. Han Jian said that if he didn't listen, he wouldn't be able to afford to stab the empress.

"Get out and talk." Gu Weipan's tone softened slightly.

When Han Jian and Gu Weipan walked out together, the ministers who were still pretending to do their own things all came over to look at the backs of Han Jian and Gu Weipan. They heard what Han Jian said before, Han Jian said that it was about the corruption case, and whether they were involved or not, they also wanted to know what the latest progress of the case was. Everyone knows that Han Jian is the "chief judge" of the corruption case, although Han Jian is now out of the case, as long as he says who is guilty, he will not be able to escape.

Han Jian and Gu Weipan went to the pavilion in the courtyard together, the pavilion was already very deserted at this time, and there was no one else except for him.

"Can you say it now?" Gu Weipan said coldly.

"Oh, that's the case, I found out that there are actually many people involved in the corruption case, and I want Chief Gu to send someone to investigate carefully." Han Jian smiled.

"Check?" When Gu Weipan heard it, he felt that what Han Jian said was widespread, if he wanted to say that the people involved in this case might be related to everyone in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, should he let him check the people?

"Who exactly?" Gu Weipan's tone was a little impatient.

"Actually, I want to say that this person is Chief Gu...... Chief Gu, don't get excited, someone reported that Chief Gu has something to do with this case...... However, I believe that Chief Gu is a person. ”

Gu Weipan drank: "Nonsense." ”

With his roar, the entire courtyard of the General Office of the Upper Listening Office fell silent, but all the ministers in the Upper Listening Office couldn't help but watch from afar when they heard this roar. They wanted to know how strict Han Jian's case was, so that Gu Weipan had to rely on yelling to speak? (To be continued......)
