After searching the first Song Mansion and finding out the fugitives, Lu Fengning was shocked and felt that this might just be a coincidence. But after searching several mansions one after another, or finding out the fugitives who were hidden, or finding the bodies of the fugitives who had just been killed and not yet decomposing in the well, Lu Fengning knew that Dongwang did not take him out to visit the garden this time.

Lu Fengning didn't have time to think about why so many fugitives were so coincidentally investigated by the East King and hidden in the homes of these ministers, so he mobilized the entire Imperial Governor's Mansion to search from house to house according to the clues given by Han Jian.

At this time, Han Jian got the news that the empress sent someone to the annex of the East Wangfu to pass him on to the palace to talk.

Han Jian thought at that time, if it's broken, His Majesty will blame it. After all, he hadn't discussed this matter with the empress beforehand, and he didn't even know how to breathe, which can be said to be the result of his insistence. Han Jian doesn't regret it, in his opinion, as long as things turn out, it doesn't matter how the process is.

"Lu Shaofu, the rest will be left to Your Excellency." Before parting, Han Jian said to Lu Fengning, "This king is ordered by His Majesty to enter the palace. ”

Lu Fengning was originally searching for fugitives, but it was only at this time that he realized that he seemed to have stabbed Lou Zi. It is true that it is the duty of his court to arrest fugitives, but what he is searching is the minister's mansion, and this is not something that the court can do casually, generally speaking, even if the court is going to search the residence of a certain minister, there must be an order from the inspection department or even the emperor.

Originally, Lu Fengning could have stopped, no longer searched, and with the current result, he would first present the empress, and then the empress would decide. But Lu Fengning thought to himself that since he had done it, it was better to do it directly to the end. There is no turning back from the bow, and there is a prelude to the attack, so that other officials who harbor the fugitive will not transfer the fugitive.

"Keep searching!" Lu Fengning continued to order.

Han Jian led people directly to the direction of the palace, and when he arrived outside the palace Yingtian Gate, the great eunuch Lu Shaokun was already waiting a little anxious, and when he saw Han Jian, Lu Shaokun hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, where have you been, but you are in a hurry to die." Lu Shaokun said with a nervous expression.

"Father-in-law Lu forgive me. There is something to do outside. I don't know if Father-in-law Lu went to the house to summon him, please forgive me. Han Jian replied indifferently.

Lu Shaokun glanced at Han Jian, he knew very well what Han Jian had done, and now Luoyang City was being made full of storms by Han Jian and Lu Fengning. The Empress sent him to summon him, but he could not find anyone. He was worried that something would happen.

"Your Highness, hurry up with the old man to see His Majesty."

Lu Shaokun hurriedly took Han Jian into the palace. went directly to Ye'an Pavilion. In the Ye'an Pavilion, the empress sat behind the desk, and there was only one empress in the entire Ye'an Pavilion. The empress saw Lu Shaokun and Han Jian come in. Without waiting for Han Jian's salute, he directly waved his hand to let Lu Shaokun retreat.

When Lu Shaokun retreated, only Han Jian and the empress were left in Ye'an Pavilion, and the empress slapped the table and shouted: "King Dong, you are so bold!" ”

Han Jian bowed, but did not kneel. He could sense that the Empress was angry. As for whether it is real anger or feigned anger, it is difficult to judge.

"Your Majesty is angry." Han Jian said clichés on his lips, and there was no remorse in his heart, "Chen is doing this just to do his duty as a minister and help the court arrest important criminals." ”

"Arrest the criminals?" The Empress looked furious, stood up behind the case, and exclaimed, "Do you know what the consequences of your actions are? ”

"The minister knows." Han Jian said.

The Empress said angrily, "You don't know! How many of your courtiers will be ruined and driven to a dead end? ”

Han Jian's tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "But the ministers also know that these courtiers are not of my race. The so-called non-our race will have different hearts, even if they are not ruined, they will only be loyal ministers of the rebels, not loyal ministers of the court. ”

"How old are you, and how much do you know about government affairs? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? The empress's gaze was like a sharp blade, stabbing directly at Han Jian. However, Han Jian stood in place, unmoved.

Han Jian thought to himself, the consequences? The consequence is only to disintegrate the capital forces that the Northern King has painstakingly subordinate since the first emperor was alive, which makes the Northern King angry and embarrassed, and he will either be a man with his tail between his legs, or directly rebel. Isn't that what you're looking for as an emperor?

Han Jian didn't speak, and the empress suddenly fell silent.

The empress paced back and forth in the Ye'an Pavilion, as if she was wandering and embarrassed. Han Jian stood in place, not even raising his head, only listening to the light footsteps of the empress coming and going in front of him, and this awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time.

Finally, it was the empress who broke the silence with her mouth: "King Dong, you go back first." No matter how I treated you before, from now on, you are not allowed to interfere in any of the big and small affairs of Luoyang City, and in a few days, I will let you go back to Jiangdu. If you don't listen to me again, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian replied calmly.

"Stand down." The Queen's Road.

Han Jian didn't say anything and withdrew from Ye'an Pavilion. In front of Ye'an Pavilion, Lu Shaokun looked at Han Jian with a calm face in some surprise. Han Jian politely said goodbye to Lu Shaokun, and then left the palace alone.

At the gate of the palace, Han Jian happened to meet Lu Fengning, who had captured many fugitives and came to present to the empress. Lu Fengning didn't expect to meet Han Jian at the gate of the palace, Lu Fengning finally figured it out, he still couldn't search the mansions of some ministers without authorization, but just sent people to surround the mansions of those ministers, and then came to ask for orders.

Han Jian and Lu Fengning passed by, and they also didn't say anything.

After Han Jian left the palace, he didn't go back to the Dongwang Mansion Annex, and went directly to Qingxu Yashe. In the Qingxu Yashe, Sima Yi and Ruan Ping had already arrived one step earlier, in addition to the two of them, there was also Huang Lie, who didn't know what was going on in the city.

"Young boy, are you back? What do you say? When Sima saw Han Jian, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

At this time, because the city gate was closed, and there were people from the Tingwei's Mansion in the city searching the minister's mansion everywhere, so that the Qingxu Yashe was deserted, and no one even came to patronize the meal.

"Didn't say anything." Han Jian's tone was flat, and he sat down directly in the old seat in front of the window, and at this time Ruan Ping got up and poured a cup of tea for Han Jian.

Huang Lie on the side said: "I heard that the Tingwei Mansion is searching for fugitives in the city and has arrested a lot?" ”

"Yes." Han Jian smiled and looked at Huang Lie, "Huang Gongzi is quite well-informed. ”

"Well-informed, it's boiling outside, and you can hear it with ears. However, I heard that the fugitives were harbored by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and this matter ...... It's not a small thing, Brother Han, this thing ...... Did Brother Sima tell me yesterday? ”

Sima Yi on the side pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not the same thing. Young boy, is the corruption case completely over now? ”

"Hmm." Han Jian drank a cup of tea and nodded. If it is said that only half of the previous corruption cases were exposed, and the other half was suppressed, now the corruption and deficit cases are completely over.

It's just that the ending scene is a bit vigorous, and the price is a bit big.

"If what I expected is right, Xianbei people, it's time to go south." Han Jian said suddenly.

"Huh?" Huang Lie was taken aback and said, "Brother Han, where do you start with this?" The Xianbei people want to be killed to the south? Where? Will you cross the Yellow River? Shall we leave Luoyang together? ”

Sima Yu said disdainfully: "If you want to leave you, how can it be safer than the capital of the Wei Dynasty, those Xianbei barbarians, what they are good at is to fight immediately, the grass of the plain comes and goes without a trace, you let him attack Luoyang City to try, not a year and a half, he can't even attack the city gate." ”

Huang Lie smiled bitterly when he heard this: "A year and a half? ...... in that city Don't you want to starve to death? ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Han Jian glanced up at Sima Yi and said, "Even if the Xianbei people go south, they won't kill them to the south of the Yellow River. Moreover, it may not be Xianbei people who really came. ”

This time, even Sima Yi couldn't understand it. Sima Yi asked, "Young boy, what do you mean?" ”

"Hey!" Han Jian sighed, he suddenly felt a little tired.

In the case of quelling corruption and deficits, he can be said to have been a complete bad person, doing all the dirty work by him, and in the end he was reprimanded by the empress. As for whether the empress really reprimanded him or just made a show, he didn't want to think about it now, he knew that the next thing he would face was likely to be the North King's dog jumping over the wall and making trouble directly. In other words, the situation will still be a mess and will not ease him.

But the empress told him not to worry about anything.

Han Jian thought, this is fine, maybe when the Northern King soldiers came to the city, the empress would naturally think of me. Even if the North King can take advantage of the chaos to lead his troops south, he will not be able to enter Luoyang City, so the North King's power in Luoyang City has been almost pulled out after these few times Han Jian's tiger mouth tooth extraction. As long as it was a qiē shun lì, it was relatively easy for the empress to quell the rebellion of the king of the north.

Han Jian also knows that now is not the time to take it lightly. The king of the west is also ready to move, now the empress can be regarded as fighting alone, Yang Xi will not be able to come back for a while after going to Southern Qi, if the empress makes a mistake, then the Wei Dynasty is likely to be torn apart.

Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Sima Yi asked, "Young boy, what should we do next?" ”

Han Jian smiled and shook his head, "For the time being, you can put things down and relax for a few days." Didn't the bookstore have already got the equipment ready? Take advantage of these few days to print something out. ”

"Printing?" Sima Yi was a little puzzled, "The comic books are selling very well, but I just printed another batch, I'm afraid it's not so urgent, right?" There are many people reading books in Luoyang City, and in such a mess, few people will come out to buy books to read. ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a book print, it's something else, I won't say much now, I'll go back and talk to you." ”

Han Jian thought that since the empress would not allow him to show his face again, then he would retreat into the background first and lay some foundation for the public opinion war. In the next step, if the king of the north rebels, both sides will definitely try their best to win the hearts of the people and establish themselves as a righteous side. Han Jian is now making the bookstore bigger, which is to lay the foundation for the war of public opinion one day, ordinary people are usually the same as the clouds, and it is easy to be swayed by public opinion, and he is the one who wants to dominate public opinion.
