Yang Li'er was still hazy, and Hui'er went to serve Yang Li'er and get dressed after serving. As soon as it was dawn outside, Han Jian and Yang Li'er went out of the palace together, followed by the nurse specially sent by Yang Rui to carry Han Xi out of the palace.

Back in Dongwangfu, Yang Li'er simply couldn't afford to be sick. Yesterday she suffered a cold in the palace, and she was most worried about the child, but now she is sick herself.

Han Jian couldn't have much time to take care of her, and Han Jian was already busy just on business.

It is still the time of the New Year, but the entire Dongwang Mansion and the imperial court are shrouded in a haze, and the southward movement of the Xianbei people has disrupted the arrangements for the entire festival. The movements of the Xianbei cavalry outside the old land of Yangguan and Xiliang also affected the hearts of everyone in the court.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Han Jian was busy all day long about the military aircraft on the front line. Several meetings were held due to the shortage of materials on the front line, it was originally a time of spring famine, in order to reward the three armies, the imperial court's treasury had long been allocated, and now a large amount of money and grain was suddenly needed to maintain the dispatch of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to resist the Xianbei people, which really made Han Jian feel a headache. In the past, Lin Xiaoshu helped deal with these things, but Lin Xiaoshu was pregnant, and Song Suqing took over, Song Suqing had experience in building weapons, but managing accounts and money and food was really not her forte.

In the afternoon, Han Jian summoned several Jiang generals in Luoyang, because there was a group of Jiangdu soldiers and horses who had not yet been transferred back to Jiangdu, and it was necessary to arrange for the generals to bring this group of people back, and at the same time, he also had to recruit new soldiers to be transferred to Luoyang in case of emergency. Most of the soldiers and horses in Jiangdu are not professional soldiers, and many of them will inevitably want to return after being away from their hometowns for a long time, and Han Jian cannot force them to fight for the imperial court against the wishes of the soldiers in the army. Wartime replacement is also a must-do, fortunately, most of the soldiers and horses when Jiangdu originally conquered Luoyang were unarmored and returned to the field. Even if there is a need to hire people now, they can be recruited from the local government. Some soldiers have the heart of returning home when they are abroad, but they also have the heart of making meritorious contributions after returning for a long time, and some soldiers who are unwilling to return to their hometowns and are ready to continue to make meritorious contributions will also stay.

In the evening, it was a banquet in the East Palace, and all the generals and officials of the East King Mansion faction were invited. There are also some strategists who have no official status but are staff members in the army.

When Han Jian returned to the mansion, the mansion was very lively, even if Han Jian could avoid participating in the banquet of the East King Mansion in the past, but he had to be there in person at the banquet of the East King Mansion today. This is the time for him to communicate with the generals of the Dongwangfu faction, and he will also make some rewards at the banquet to commend these people for the capture of the Dongwangfu in the past year. Because the imperial court and the East Prince's Mansion really don't have much money, this kind of reward is more about adding officials to the knighthood, and there are not a few people who have been knighted in the East Prince's Mansion for their military exploits in the past two years, and they all have their own fiefs and salaries.

The banquet lasted until the evening, and the guests of the East Prince's Mansion also dispersed one after another. But at this time, someone came to report that Gu Weipan was here in person.

Han Jian knew that Gu Weipan had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and when he came in person when the banquet was held in the East Palace, it meant that it must be a big event and he had to come.

Han Jian met Gu Weipan in the side hall of the East Palace, Gu Weipan came over, looking a little anxious, and he didn't even care about etiquette, so he said to Han Jian: "I heard that it's on the ground." Lin Shilang secretly colluded with some people and became enemies of the imperial court. ”

For Lin Ke's matter. Han Jian specially "toasted him" in front of so many people at the palace banquet yesterday, but he didn't expect that the next day he would make a rebellion in the local area.

"Reliable information?" Han Jian was a little suspicious, and he had not received any news that Lin Ke had the intention of rebellion. There are very few people available to Lin Ke, and there are only a few hundred followers in total, Yang Rui gave him a certain amount of authority, but even if Lin Ke transferred the local soldiers and horses. At most, he can only mobilize one or two thousand people, most of these people are rabble, and it is difficult to be useful, and Lin Ke does not understand military affairs, how dare he rebel lightly?

Gu Weipan shook his head slightly and said, "I just learned from the Ministry of War that the Ministry of War has not yet made the matter public." On the contrary, it was the military department that advanced to the palace and reported to His Majesty. Now he is still in the palace and has not yet come out. ”

Han Jian was not going to enter the palace, but now that this kind of thing happened, Gu Weipan did not go to the palace to see Yang Rui, but came to inform him first, which shows that in Gu Weipan's opinion, if there is a military movement, even if it is a rebellion of the courtiers, he should first consult with Han Jian, who controls the military power. This is not to say that Gu Weipan's own heart is for the East Palace, but that he is not confined to red tape, and he knows that Yang Rui can't be of much use if he knows some things.

"Please come to the palace with me."

Han Jian temporarily explained to Han Song's family, Han Song's family just sneered after hearing Lin Ke's rebellion, she didn't care whether the matter was true or not, she couldn't look at Lin Ke in the first place, after all, it was Yang Rui's "loyal minister", and now Yang Rui's loyal ministers turned against her, which made Han Song's family have a feeling of schadenfreude.

After Han Jian went out, he immediately asked people to notify two people, one was Da Xiliu and the other was Yi Die, both of whom were responsible for intelligence collection, although Yi Die's power was basically hollowed out, but if there was any information on the imperial court, she should know it as soon as possible. This time, it was Gu Weipan who told him the news first, which made Han Jian feel that the things behind him were not so simple.

Han Jian and Gu Weipan hurriedly entered the palace gate, still accompanied by many guards. When I arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, it was still brightly lit, in addition to the people from the military department who came to report on local affairs, there were also generals from the imperial court faction that Yang Rui temporarily transferred to inquire about the specific situation. But the matter itself is transmitted from the locality, and the specific situation does not need to be clear, even if these generals provide opinions as a reference, they still don't know what happened on Lin Ke's side that can make him dare to resist the imperial court.

"King Dong, are you here?" Yang Rui was still a little dissatisfied when she saw Han Jian coming with Gu Weipan, and her face was slightly gloomy, after all, her first assistant minister did not come to the palace immediately to share her worries, but went to find Han Jian, which made her feel a little disgraced.

"Hui Majesty." Han Jian saluted, even if he was Yang Rui's husband in front of so many people, he had to take Yang Rui's face into account, "The minister sent someone to investigate, and there should be news soon." ”

Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said, "With my understanding of Lin Shilang, he doesn't dare to rebel!" ”

Han Jian didn't think so in his heart, in the palace before, someone wanted to assassinate Han Jian by means of a palace banquet, although there was no actual evidence that the matter was related to Lin Ke, but Lin Ke definitely couldn't escape. It's just that Han Jian also wanted to make a big deal small at that time, and didn't make a big deal out of it. Maybe Lin Ke went to the local area and saw that there were available soldiers, horses, money and food in the place, and there were so many magistrates and garrison generals who obeyed his orders, and suddenly had evil intentions to rebel? Or the purpose of Lin Ke's rebellion was not to overthrow the imperial court, but to erect a banner such as "Qing Jun's side". It is also aimed at Han Jian and Dongwangfu.

Disappreciating it in his heart, Han Jian said: "The minister also believes that Lin Shilang is definitely not a traitor, but everything cannot be decided prematurely. Don't be in a hurry, someone will soon come into the palace to report the truth. ”

Yang Rui looked at Han Jian with suspicion, although Han Jian didn't seem to know anything, it seemed that Han Jian was very sure to guess something. This made her very puzzling, maybe Han Jian knew some clues in advance, but he didn't tell her in advance.

"Then wait for now." Yang Rui gave an order, and everyone had to wait with her and Han Jian.

Half an hour passed. Only then did the little eunuch come in and say that Yi Die had arrived.

Yi Die has special permission to enter the palace, and her identity as a prudent punishment secretary is very special, which is equivalent to a pass token of the intelligence system, and she can basically enter the palace first and then pass it on. Because of Da Nishiliu's special identity, Han Jian did not let Da Nishiliu enter the palace directly this time, but Yi Die entered the palace as soon as possible after getting Han Jian's message.

"See Your Majesty." Yi Die entered Ye'an Pavilion and saluted Yang Rui like a male minister.

"Excuse me!" Yang Rui waved his hand. "Ibuku makes you speak." What happened to Lin Shilang? But Lin Shilang secretly colluded with local generals and made trouble in public? ”

Yi Die's face was inexplicable, she entered the palace at the behest of Han Jian, and she didn't know what was going on. Hearing Yang Rui's words, she realized that it was for Lin Ke to let her enter the palace, and she was questioned by Yang Rui at this time. There were so many pairs of eyes looking at her, and at the same time, she could only glance at Han Jian, wanting to get an answer from Han Jian.

"If Your Majesty asks you anything, the answer is." Han Jian said with an indifferent expression.

Yi Die saluted again. To tell the truth: "I don't know. ”

There was an uproar, and the ministers and generals present felt incredible, Han Jian said before that it seemed that as long as Yi Dielai came, he could know the details of the matter, but now Yi Dielai didn't know anything. What kind of medicine is sold in Han Jian's gourd, they are also completely confused.

Yang Rui was the emperor after all, but he was slightly sure of Han Jian's thoughts, and he glanced at Han Jian and said, "King Dong, what do you mean?" Let me summon the envoy of Ibuku, but the envoy of Ibuku knows nothing about it. ”

Han Jian said: "Yi Buku doesn't know about it, and I'm afraid that Nachen doesn't know either, I'm afraid I won't know until I go back to investigate in detail." ”

Only then did Yang Rui know that he had been "tricked" by Han Jian for so long, and he was even more angry in his heart. But she still hadn't figured out what Han Jian was going to do.

"In that case, let's all step aside, King Dong, you stay, I have something to say to you."

It was not the first time that Yang Rui wanted to talk to Han Jian alone. Since Han Jian was not the "imperial husband" at that time, Yang Rui often stayed to "talk" with Han Jian, and later she became pregnant, and there are many rumors about this, saying that Yang Rui and Han Jian had a "private meeting". But the real situation is that Han Jian and Yang Rui rarely have a private meeting in a formal place like Ye'an Pavilion, and if they want to have a private meeting, Han Jian will go directly to Yang Rui's bedroom, and it will be unimpeded anyway.

"What the hell do you mean?" Yang Rui saw that there was no one in Ye'an Pavilion, so he stood up directly, and his tone was not so gentle.

Han Jian said: "Your intelligence minister, you don't know anything, if you come to ask me, what do I know?" ”

Yang Rui frowned and said, "Are you blaming me for not handing over the investigation of intelligence to the Yi Buku envoy?" ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't mean that, originally I thought that the Yi Buku envoy would know something. It's just that she has been a little abnormal recently, or she has long known that Lin Ke has bad intentions, but she didn't report it to you and me. ”

Yang Rui thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure that Lin Ke really rebelled?" ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "After all, Lin Ke is just a civil official, and he doesn't dare to openly rebel with ten dares from him, but if someone directs him behind his back, things will not be so simple." If what I expected, Lin Ke's rebellion may be just the beginning, and soon there will be people in Luoyang City who will start to exert pressure, and there will be people who will use their brains against the city defense and the palace guards. ’

Yang Rui suddenly seemed to understand something, and said, "You mean, these people are related to Prince Yan Ning's people?" ”

"Perhaps." Han Jian said, "Many things will not be known until detailed investigation. Prince Yan Ning's power extends to Luoyang, but it would be unwise to say that they dare to be enemies of the imperial court now. Or maybe it's just another reason! ’

Yang Rui glared at Han Jian again and said, "It seems that it is difficult for us to talk well between husband and wife, if my husband thinks that this palace does not like to stay, he will go back early!" ”

After speaking, Yang Rui ignored Han Jian first, and walked out of Ye'an Pavilion on his own in the direction of the dormitory. Han Jian didn't chase after him, and after he came out, he also walked directly outside the palace.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, it happened to be Onishiliu riding over. Da Xiliu is different from Yi Die, now Yi Die's power is hollowed out, but Da Xiliu's power is thriving, in the East Wangfu system, Da Xiliu's power is getting higher and higher, and some generals in the army also have a lot of criticism about this, thinking that Han Jian reuses a woman from the old department of Xiliang so much, which is a distrust of the entire Dongwang Mansion general system.

"Lin Ke's matter, what's going on?" Han Jian asked.

From the very beginning, Han Jian learned some information, saying that Lin Ke was attacked by local armed forces in the local area, and many of Lin Ke's entourage were killed and wounded, and Lin Ke himself was also injured, and retreated to a county town with the remnants for temporary refuge. From the information previously known, the main members of this group of local armed forces were the Bohai people who spontaneously organized to resist the invasion of the northern imperial court garrison, and they were very backward in personnel and equipment. But because Lin Ke went to the place this time to pacify, there were not many guards around him, and he was defeated when he was attacked by a sneak attack.

"Go back to the young man." "According to the investigation of his subordinates, after Lin Shilang and his party were attacked, there were four or five hundred soldiers and horses in the local garrison, and they fought with the rebel army that attacked them, and both sides suffered casualties. But more information is not yet known. ”

Han Jian smiled, it turned out that Lin Ke and his entourage were secretly attacked, and they had no choice but to organize local people to resist this group of people, but they didn't expect that the intelligence investigation of the imperial court was lagging behind, and they actually thought that this was Lin Ke's rebellion. If Lin Ke knew, he would have to shout that he was wronged.

"It's nothing." Han Jian said, "You go back to rest first, if you have detailed information, you can come over tomorrow." ”

Han Jian sighed, without the help of Yi Die, the intelligence system of the entire imperial court would also be scattered. Or it is not a good thing for him to "occupy" Yi Die, which makes the contradiction between him and Yang Rui deeper, and also makes Yang Rui take the initiative to cut off his right-hand man.
