Hearing the news of Han Zhao's arrival, Han Jian glanced at Yang Rui first, and Yang Rui was fully focused on his daughter at this time, as if he was deaf to the guards' manners.

But Han Jian knew that Yang Rui knew the purpose of Han Zhao's visit, and he went straight to the palace instead of returning to the East Palace, and also stated his position, that is, he remembered Yang Rui's mother and daughter more in his heart, and even cared more about Han Song's grounding, or Gu Xin'er and Lin Xiaoshu's birth.

Han Jian also instructed Fa Yi: "Take care of Your Majesty, I will go back when I go." ”

Fa Yi originally didn't want to stay in front of Yang Rui, because Fa Yi always didn't dare to face Yang Rui, but even if Han Jian ordered her to be disobedient, she would stay with her, in fact, Yang Rui didn't pay attention to Han Jian's existence, let alone Fa Yi.

Han Jian directly Ye Ange, the first snow has fallen in winter, the weather is still very cold, Han Zhao is not from the palace, but in a military uniform, which represents her identity, is a female general who has just returned for the Eastern Palace, and even now the imperial court. When Han Jian arrived, Han Zhao saluted, Han Jian didn't say anything, and motioned to speak in Ye'an Pavilion, Han Zhao's then respectfully walked into Ye'an Pavilion, and saw that Han Jian didn't sit down, obviously not preparing to meet her but just wanted to know the purpose of her entering the palace.

"Concubines, see Your Majesty." Han Zhao saluted respectfully.

Han Jian looked at Han Zhao's family, to say that the closest person among those aunts since he was a child was Han Zhao's family, this is his mother's sword maid, and his feelings for him are extraordinary, but when he grows up, because of the relationship between the two generations, his relationship with Han Zhao's family is not very close, either he is busy with military affairs, or Han Zhao's family leads the troops to Guanzhong, Han Jian has only had a long talk with Han Zhao's family once since he left Jiangdu, and he is still talking about his father Han Qi. There is already some life between the two.

Han Jian said: "Why should Jiu Niang be polite? Even if I am now the emperor, I am only your adopted son. This love will not change. ”

Han Zhaoshi said: "The king is above, and the concubine is a minister, so she should abide by the etiquette law." The concubines did not dare to be presumptuous in front of His Majesty. It's just that Your Majesty, as a human monarch, is also the lord of a country, so you should distinguish between the main and the secondary. ”

Han Jian squinted at Han Zhao and said, "What does Jiu Niang mean by this?" Do you want to admonish me? ”

Han Zhao thought for a moment before he sighed and continued: "Your Majesty returns and does not return to the palace but enters the palace. Even the ministers of the DPRK and China did not meet, is it out of line? Your Majesty should put the stability of the country first, and should not worry too much about the personal affairs of your children. ”

Han Jian said: "I just want to take care of national affairs before I entered the palace, from the beginning of my succession, it is mainly to stabilize the smooth transition of the old ministers, and the battle with Xianbei in the north is also to lay the foundation of the new dynasty, but I don't know that Erniang is killing in Luoyang, shouldn't you discuss with me before doing these things?" ”

Han Jian had already heard what Han Zhao meant, and Han Zhao was purging the old ministers of the former dynasty. In the matter of suppressing Yang Rui, it is from the position of Han Song's family, Han Zhao's family was originally one of Han Jian's aunts with a very neutral attitude, and now they are also in Han Song's position, so don't talk about others. Han Jian's preservation of Yang Rui's mother and daughter is obviously no longer supported by his aunts, and even some old ministers of the East Prince's Mansion.

Han Zhao didn't say much, and she could also hear the annoyance in Han Jian's heart. In fact, she didn't mean to speak for Han Song's family, in fact, Han Song's family also cared about Han Jian. just moved Yang Rui's mother and daughter to the side hall of the palace instead of killing or driving them out of the palace, and even the crown prince Yang Xi of the previous dynasty did not kill him. Han Song's target was actually the old minister of Yang Rui's dynasty. In fact, it is also very targeted, that is, people who are close to the Dongwang Mansion, or people who have a close relationship with Ning Yuan, Han Song's family selectively ignores them, and Lin Ke's party has long been put to the end by Han Jian, and this time the old minister who was suppressed. They were all people who chose to take refuge when Han Jian ascended the throne, but they were not very safe.

Han Song's spirit is to rather kill the wrong person and not let it go, as long as the old ministers of Yang Rui and the dynasty do not sincerely surrender to the East Palace, or they are not from the Ning Yuan faction, they will basically be swept away. It was Han Jian who learned the news and sent the law back to set things right, so that the situation calmed down a little, some old ministers were imprisoned and died in vain, and some old ministers were acquitted, but even if they were alive, it was impossible to serve the court anymore. This is contrary to Han Jian's policy of smooth transition.

Han Zhao was silent for a long time before he said, "Then Your Majesty should also go back to the house to have a look." ”

Han Jian waved his hand and motioned for Han Zhao to return home, originally he was very grateful to Han Zhao for being able to lead the troops to guard Guanzhong for him, and even to recover the old land of Xiliang, but in this situation, if he wanted to save Yang Rui's heart, he had to pull down his face to his aunt at home.

Han Zhao didn't say much, he bowed and retired, and Han Jian looked at Han Zhao's departure from Ye'an Pavilion and sighed a little. In the past, when he was not the emperor, the contradiction between Han Song and Yang Rui was just like a personal contradiction, he thought that things would get better after he ascended the throne, but in fact, it was even worse, now that he is the emperor, even the original neutrals like Han Zhao have fallen to the side of Han Song, as if urging him to cut off the original Yang Rui's Shi Li, and even Yang Rui can't let go, but how to say that Yang Rui is also the mother of his daughter.

When Han Jian returned to Yang Rui's dormitory, the dormitory had been almost settled, but the original informal dormitory was renovated with a large hall, and the damage was really serious, and if it was to restore the sleeping palace that could stabilize the emperor and concubines, it must be repaired. Han Jian explained to the officials of the inner treasury and asked them to go back and repair the dormitory, and relocate the original dormitory of Yang Rui's father as Yang Rui's dormitory. Without informing Yang Rui, he asked people to go over to clean up, and strive to let Yang Rui and the little princess move in before the evening.

But when Han Jian told Yang Rui about the matter, Yang Rui said with a cold attitude: "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere!" ”

Yang Rui's attitude towards Han Jian was still very blunt, so that Han Jian couldn't find a breakthrough. Han Jian thought to himself, or maybe Han Song's purge of the old ministers of the Wei Dynasty had already made Yang Rui very disappointed in Yang Rui's cold treatment of his mother and daughter, and these things could only be made up for by time. Han Jian did not forcibly carry Yang Rui back to the dormitory as before and forced her to move to another place, although Yang Rui's dormitory was a little dilapidated, but after a simple repair, it finally looked like a home, and Yang Rui and the little princess were originally very accustomed to living here, Han Jian did not need to force change.

Han Jian didn't entangle Yang Rui too much inside, so as not to upset Yang Rui, but he didn't go far. After leaving the dormitory, he met with some of the leaders of the Wei Dynasty who had been forcibly removed from the palace around the dormitory, and a large part of them were to ensure the use of the original palace. Yang Rui lived a frugal life, and there were no concubines in the palace in the past twenty years, only two brothers, Yang Rui and Yang Xi, the life in the palace was not very extravagant, and the daily consumption was only reflected in the palace maids and eunuchs. But originally the number of palace maids and eunuchs was not very large, and this time most of the palace people were driven away, and the palace was already deserted except for the palace guards. Han Jian's meaning is very clear, that is, to treat Yang Rui well according to the specifications of the original emperor, so that these functional yamen cannot have any disadvantage to Yang Rui, and even the imperial dining room that has been abandoned for a long time must be reactivated, including the procurement of the palace, and the household department will also set up a special fund in the name of military supplies, so as not to make the inner treasury so empty that there is no money for Yang Rui's medical treatment.

By the time it was arranged, it was already a little dark. Unconsciously, Han Jian had been in the city for more than two hours. Seeing that it was getting late, Han Jian had no intention of leaving the palace, and looking back at the dimly lit dormitory, Han Jian was still a little reluctant in his heart. Although he knew that the women in Dongwang's Mansion were looking forward to him going back, Gu Xin'er and Lin Xiaoshu were not there to accompany him when they gave birth, and the family really wanted to see him safe and sound and say goodbye, but Han Jian still felt that staying in the palace made Yang Rui feel that he was not just perfunctory.

When the sky was almost dark, the little eunuch came over and said that the Yunhui Hall of the Emperor's Bedroom had been cleaned up. Han Jian entered inside. Fa Yi also followed Han Jian's instructions to accompany him, and the medicine boiled for Yang Rui and the little princess was also brought over. Yang Rui just fed her daughter with a spoon, and her own bowl of medicine was still on the table and didn't even move. Han Jian stepped forward and said, "Your body is not good in the first place, and now you need to recuperate even more when you are sick." ”

Yang Rui still ignored Han Jian, but no matter how tough she was in her heart, she knew that now she was no longer the emperor she used to be, and she needed Han Jian's man as her pillar even more. But she still couldn't forgive Han Jian's mistakes in her heart. Even if Han Jian came back and tried her best to make up for it, she had to be angry with Han Jian as if she had lost her temper.

Han Jian didn't say much, and continued to stay in the dormitory, and after turning on the lights, the Dongwang Mansion was already very anxious. First, let the guards come over and give a fare. After nightfall, Yang Li'er, who often enters the palace, entered the palace in person to persuade Han Jian to return home.

Han Jian learned that Yang Li'er had entered the palace, but he didn't know whether to see him. Yang Rui still ignored Han Jian, so Han Jian had no choice but to continue to stay, and let people spread the word that Yang Li'er would come to Yang Rui's bedroom. In the past, Yang Li'er often entered the palace, and was naturally familiar with the palace drapery, and not long after Yang Li'er came under the guidance of the little palace maid, and when she saw Han Jian, Yang Li'er walked over quickly, and her eyes did not leave Han Jian's face.

Han Jian stood at the door, waiting for Yang Li'er to come over, but he gently held her in his arms, Yang Li'er hugged Han Jian, and she hadn't seen her for more than half a year. After a long time, Yang Li'er came out of Han Jian's arms, Han Jian pointed in the direction inside, and whispered in her ear: "Go in and talk properly in a while." ”

Yang Li'er nodded very meekly to show that she understood. Han Jian and Yang Li'er entered Yang Rui's dormitory before and after, but Yang Rui focused on the little princess, but she could still detect Yang Li'er's arrival. Yang Li'er said: "The concubine has seen my sister. ”

Yang Rui seems to be deaf, Yang Li'er doesn't dare to disobey Yang Rui, after all, Yang Rui used to be the emperor, she is respectful and afraid of Yang Rui in her heart, even if Yang Rui is not the emperor now, but Yang Li'er still doesn't dare to have any rudeness. But seeing that Yang Rui didn't pay attention to her at all, she didn't respond for a long time, so she had to look at Han Jian as if asking for help.

Han Jian couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw that Yang Li'er was so pious and couldn't get a response from Yang Rui: "Family, how can you let go of your prejudices, don't you have to make trouble?" ”

Yang Rui turned his head and glared at Han Jian when he heard this, just like Han Jian helped Yang Li'er and didn't take into account her feelings. Yang Rui said: "Your Majesty wants to go back, who will force you to stay?" Since this is not my home, will I not even be allowed to live in this palace in the future, and where can I go to settle down? ”

Yang Rui was still a little excited, she had been losing her temper since she saw Han Jian at noon, even if she was carried to the dormitory by Han Jian, she never gave Han Jian a good look. Han Jian was also a little annoyed in his heart, although he didn't want to quarrel with Yang Rui, after all, it was his fault first, but now there were two women who were extremely respectful to Yang Rui, Yang Rui still wanted to be angry with him and even not be the emperor, which also made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.

"Yi'er, you send Li'er home." Han Jian also instructed Fa to boil.

Fa Yi still obeyed orders, and without saying anything, he retreated and left with Yang Li'er, which made Yang Rui snort even more. In the past, Fa Yi only obeyed her alone, but now Fa Ye is completely Han Jian's person, it can be said that Han Jian will do whatever she asks her to do, and she, the former emperor, no longer has any style and arrogance in front of Fa Yi.

Han Jian went out of the hall, just trying to calm down a little through the cold wind, but at this time, a guard came to report that Ning Yuan had entered the palace and asked to see him. Han Jian was annoyed by Ning Yuan's cooperation with Han Song's suppression of dissidents, and now he had some quarrels with Yang Rui, and he even wanted to reprimand Ning Yuan, the old horseman, and wanted to ask him what he was going to do.

Han Jian rushed to the outside of Ye'an Pavilion angrily, and Ning Yuan had already knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a sincere and fearful tone: "The old minister is guilty!" ”

Han Jian stepped forward with a sneer on his face and said, "Taishi Ning has the courage to admit his mistakes, but I don't know, what is wrong with Taishi Ning?" ”

Ning Yuan knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, as if he wanted to get Han Jian's forgiveness, as for what was wrong, how could he explain it, telling Han Jian that he wanted to use Han Song's hand to suppress dissidents, so that his power could gain a firm foothold in the court, and even monopolize power over one person and ten thousand people?

At present, Han Jian knew that Ning Yuan had put on a posture that the imperial court could not leave him, in the original imperial court system, the officials of the Eastern Prince's Mansion had begun to gain a firm foothold, and under the once military-dominated system, it was all controlled by the Eastern Prince's Mansion. But after the war with the Xianbei people ended, the connection between the local government and the imperial court was completely dependent on the imperial court, and now Ningyuan's power has spread all over the court and the opposition, and the other old factions of the Wei Dynasty have been eradicated.
