Yang Li'er is open-minded by nature, and she can't hide things in her heart, and she is also sincere to Han Jian. Han Jian just smiled, he didn't want to tell Yang Li'er a lot of things, but he really felt that these things would pollute Yang Li'er's pure heart. It's better to carry everything yourself.

He has too many things to do when he is away, and he prefers to relax when he gets home. However, as Yang Xi led the troops out of Guanzhong, it was difficult for him to find time if he wanted to really rest.

It was only one day after the army set out on the expedition, and Han Jian was still sorting out the battle reports from the north at the yamen of the military station, and he received an urgent letter from Yang Xi that was anxious to send to Luoyang. Originally, Han Jian thought that something big had happened, but after reading Yang Xi's letter, he realized what a fuss it was. Yang Xi was at a loss because the army could not supply fruits, so he asked Han Jian to give him a little from Luoyang.

He didn't know what Yang Xi thought, Yang Xi himself was also pampered, and he changed too much in two years in Southern Qi, and after returning to Luoyang, he lived a life of fine clothes and food again, and he was not used to it when he suddenly went out with the army. Originally, Han Jian didn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing, but he thought that if Yang Xi was embarrassed because of this, it would have a great impact on the morale of the army. Because of this, he also had to find Lin Xiaoshu and ask him to find some people to serve Yang Xi's meals. Since you want Yang Xi to be a "showman" in the barracks, you must make enough flowers, at least not let him spoil the morale of the army.

Originally, Han Jian suppressed the matter and didn't want to tell Yang Rui, lest Yang Rui have any ideas. But Yang Xi's letter was also sent to the imperial court, and the imperial court also presented it to Yang Rui.

Han Jian didn't know how Yang Rui reacted when he saw this letter, at least Yang Rui didn't summon Han Jian into the palace for two days, and Han Jian went to Yang Rui by himself to hide in the palace and never see him.

By the beginning of February, more war reports had come back from Su Tingxia's side in the north. At the same time, the internal relocation of the citizens of the Bohai State has begun to unfold, and Gu Weipan is busy with the selection of candidates for the imperial examination, and he is also responsible for dispatching this group of citizens of the Bohai State. But the basic steps have been planned by Han Jian. In the north, Lin Zhan's department will gradually accept most of the Bohai nationals, and as for some old and weak women and children, they may move south to make up for the population losses caused by the Xianbei people's plunder.

For a few days, Han Jian was very busy, and he didn't have time to enter the palace. Yang Rui didn't want to see him anyway. He didn't look for himself to be bored.

By the sixth day of the second month, the soldiers and horses led by Yang Xi had arrived in Yuecheng, which was very close to the prefectures and counties controlled by the Xiwangfu. Because Han Jian had instructed in advance that during the period of entering Guanzhong, he was not allowed to camp in the city at any time and not disturb the people, so that even before the possible war, the soldiers and horses could only be simply camped, and it was easy for the Xiwang army to sneak attack. Han Choi and Han Zhao have mentioned this several times in their letters to Han Jian. But Han Jian is still stubborn.

In the afternoon of the same day, Han Jian did not return to the house, but entered the palace to see Yang Rui. Originally, he wanted to ease the relationship with Yang Rui, but who knew that he still had a closed door. Originally, he could have forced his way into Yang Rui's bedroom, but he thought about it and still didn't do so, and by the time he left the palace, it was already dark. was about to go home, but someone came to talk to him, saying that Princess Yongdan Xiao Zhan invited him to go over to talk.

Xiao Zhan also lived in Luoyang for a year. In the past, Xiao Zhan thought that he was an envoy to the Wei Dynasty, but because of the change in the political power structure within the Southern Qi Dynasty. Xiao Zhan had to stay in Luoyang, which was regarded as a political refuge. Xiao Zhan had always been very low-key before, except for basically supplying some food, Han Jian didn't pay much attention to that side on weekdays. It's just that he established contact with Xiao Ling, the king of Southern Qi Hui, through Guò Sima, and Xiao Ling is very concerned about this little niece, and Han Jian takes good care of Xiao Zhan in terms of etiquette.

It stands to reason that Xiao Zhan was in the Northern Dynasty. You should no longer ask about the affairs of the Southern Dynasty, and you should not ask him to say anything. But now that he has taken the initiative to ask, it means that there is something very important that must be discussed with him.

Xiao Zhan has always lived in the National Post House, and it is a specially opened courtyard for her, so she can enter and exit freely on weekdays. However, the Eastern Prince's Mansion sent a lot of soldiers to protect her safety and prevent her from being assassinated by some people again. There are not many people left by Xiao Zhan's side, most of them are palace maids who came from the Southern Dynasty together, and a few are transferred from the Eastern Palace. Judging from Han Jian's previous understanding, Xiao Zhan has always lived in a simple house and rarely communicates with outsiders.

When Han Jian arrived at the National Post House, there was no one outside. When I entered the room, I saw a guard waiting for me. Han Jian had already asked people to come over to inform him in advance, so he could find out the situation first. When they arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Zhan was, it was already night, and Xiao Zhan personally stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet him.

After not seeing him for a few months, Xiao Zhan's expression was the same as before, and he seemed more peaceful. It's like a woman who has no quarrel with the world, but she is like a proton in the Wei Dynasty, although he is not like Yang Xi who was under house arrest in the Southern Dynasty, but after all, he is also a caged bird, except for the courtyard of the National Post House, she basically can't go anywhere else.

"Princess." Han Jian bowed.

Xiao Zhan returned the salute and invited Han Jian inside, but it was a small living room, and when the tea was served, Xiao Zhan asked the maids to go outside, so as not to disturb her conversation with Han Jian.

"The princess suddenly came to invite, but what happened to your dynasty?" Han Jian asked first.

"Has the East King heard of something?" Xiao Zhan said.

"Oh?" Han Jian thought about it, and didn't know what Xiao Zhan was talking about for a while, about the Qi Dynasty, Han Jian was still very careful, and it was also to prevent the Southern Dynasty from suddenly sending troops north. So much so that he probably knew about the situation in the Southern Dynasty, but there was a lot of news and chaos, and he suddenly couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Zhan saw Han Jian's hesitation, and said directly: "According to rumors, Xie Rumo held the imperial court hostage and intended to send troops north. And my queen mother has given permission to send troops in the near future. ”

Han Jian nodded and said, "There seems to be such a saying." It's just a folk rumor, and it's not accurate. ”

The reason why Han Jian said this is because this matter is too widely spread outside, but if the Southern Dynasty really wants to send troops, how can the news spread that everyone knows about the stormy city? But Han Jian also thought about whether this was a rumor deliberately released by the people of the Southern Dynasties, as if he had publicized the matter of sending troops to Guanzhong in advance, and what was the purpose behind it. But after all, the Eastern Prince's Mansion has arranged a lot of eyeliner in the Southern Dynasties, and from the perspective of the military and political circles of the Southern Dynasties, this news is only a rumor, and there is no empirical evidence.

Xiao Zhan said: "Maybe the king of the east is not interested, but as far as I know, now that there is no one in Jiangdu, it is the time to guard against emptiness, and now Yuzhou is slightly at odds with the imperial court, and the marquis of Zhennan is even more contrary to the yang and yin of the imperial court." Isn't the king of the east afraid that Xie Rumo will really send troops north? ”

Han Jian thought for a moment and said with a smile: "What does the princess mean?" ”

"What do I mean?" Xiao Zhan stood up. But he shook his head and said, "After all, I'm not used to living in Luoyang, and I want to go back to Jiangnan." Anyway, that's where I have roots. ”

Han Jian understood a little, could it be that Xiao Zhan wanted to leave, so he said about the Southern Dynasty sending troops?

As a member of the court. Like Xiao Zhan, he understands a truth, that is, many things can't be said too clearly even if they are obvious, and they need to beat around the bush. If Xiao Zhan really wants to go back to Southern Qi, she may not be able to leave if she wants to, although Han Jian gave her a certain amount of freedom, she is still a pawn in the hands of the people of the Northern Dynasty, and she must be in the same situation as Yang Xi when she was a proton in the Southern Dynasty. And the guards sent by Han Jian to protect him were also monitoring him, but Han Jian's methods were slightly gentle. It's not like Zhu Tongjing is as domineering as Yang Xi.

"When is the princess going to leave?" Han Jian asked directly.

Xiao Zhan said: "It's the best to do it." ”

Han Jian didn't say much, nodded and said, "If the princess wants to go back, she will send someone to escort her, and after the princess goes back, if there is anything, she can also speak." ”

Xiao Zhan almost thought that he had misheard, Han Jian actually let her go back so lightly?

"Is the East King really willing to send me away?" Xiao Zhan still asked the question.

Han Jian nodded slightly and said, "But I still hope that after the princess goes back, she won't publicize some things." Princesses are smart people. It should be understood. ”

Xiao Zhan thought about it, and knew that Han Jian was talking about the relationship between the Eastern Wangfu and the King Hui of the Southern Dynasty. Previously, King Hui sent a letter to the north, asking Han Jian to help protect and take care of her, and also let her know that her seemingly inactive imperial uncle was actually in Taoguang. But at the same time, it also exposed Xiao Ling's relationship with the Northern Dynasties. Xiao Zhan himself is a member of Zhu Tongjing's faction in the Southern Dynasty, and in terms of the current political pattern of the Southern Dynasty, he is the opposite of Xiao Ling. But after all, it was Zhu Tongjing who sent someone to kill her, and she would not stand in Zhu Tongjing's party again after she went back.

"If the princess has nothing else to do. I went back in the next. Han Jian got up and said, "The carriage and escort personnel will be ready in the next few days." In the future, King Hui will also be notified in advance, so that King Hui will send someone to greet and protect, in short, it will not cause anything to happen to the princess. ”

Xiao Zhan hesitated. Still nodding. From this moment, Han Jian saw that Xiao Zhan's eyes did not have the joy and relief of returning to his homeland, but it seemed to be the kind of determination to go back and die generously.

Suddenly, Han Jian also had a feeling of heartache. Although he had never been in love with Xiao Zhan, he had also learned from some sources that Sima Cheng had a good impression of Xiao Zhan, and even in Han Jian's eyes, there should be something between Xiao Zhan and Sima Zhan in the future. can think of such a woman who does not let the eldest princess of the Southern Dynasty return to China, but she is a victim of returning to power, how can he feel that this should not be the fate that Xiao Zhan should have.

But since Xiao Zhan stubbornly wants to go back, he is not Xiao Zhan's friend, or even an enemy, and persuasion is meaningless. It's better to escort her all the way.

Han Jian came out of the National Post House, and it was already time to be on duty. The curfew has begun on the street, and Han Jian has not yet arrived at the Dongwang Mansion, but he has seen a lot of cars coming and going, as if the cars and horses of the official eunuchs are coming and going more closely.

After the curfew, ordinary people can't come out of any major event, but the official family is different. As long as there is a meritorious person, no one will check it when walking on the street, and even if it does, nothing will happen. Han Jian seemed to sense a strange atmosphere, but he couldn't say it clearly.

When he returned to the mansion and told Han Song, he roughly understood what was going on.

It turned out that some of Luoyang's official eunuch families were preparing to move out of Luoyang and return to their hometowns.

"Erniang, why haven't I heard about this?" Han Jian felt strange, it stands to reason that any action of the Luoyang family will not hide his eyeliner. But it was as if he never knew about it.

Han Songshi said: "I also just heard that someone submitted the Son of Heaven and asked for his order to leave Luoyang. The Son of Heaven also agreed, didn't she tell you? ”

Han Jian heard the hostility in Han Song's words, and it was obvious that Han Song's blame was on Yang Rui. But how could Yang Rui agree to some families moving out of Luoyang City?

Could it be that these families are preparing to avoid the limelight, so as not to get involved in the power struggle between the imperial court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion that may occur in the future, and become victims?

"What are the details, it's better for you to go into the palace and ask the Son of Heaven." Han Song's tone was not good, "Erniang just told you what she knew, if you want to stop it, maybe it's too late." If you don't stop it, in the next two days, I'm afraid that more people will move away, and I'm afraid that it will be damaged in the Dongwang Mansion. ”

Han Jian didn't think so, even if some families moved, it was only a small part, and if it was really a large-scale migration, it would become a political problem in itself. As an emperor, Yang Rui is very sensitive to politics, and he will know this truth better than him.

But since this incident happened, if Han Jian didn't go into the palace to ask Yang Rui for an explanation, he wouldn't be able to do it.

When Han Jian entered the palace overnight, he was stopped by the eunuchs and palace maids guarding outside the palace without accident, Han Jian thought that Yang Rui was deliberately sending someone to block him, and Yang Rui also knew that he would enter the palace, otherwise how could someone deliberately stop him at night?

"Get out of the way!" Han Jian shouted angrily, and several palace maids and little eunuchs were silent. They naturally know that both sides can't afford to offend, but now they can't tell which side is more offended. The best thing is that Han Jian can take the initiative to leave, otherwise it will be a disaster for Han Jian to go in or be blocked out and not leave.

Han Jian saw that it was useless to shout, so he didn't say more, raised his hand and greeted, the guards had already come up to block the little eunuch and the palace maid aside, and Han Jian could go directly to Yang Rui's dormitory without hindrance.

When she arrived in the dormitory, she still kept breaking in, and when he opened the curtain, Yang Rui sat at the table and read the book, but she seemed to have known that he would break in.

"Coming?" Yang Rui said in a flat tone.

"You deliberately don't want to see me?" Han Jian was also a little angry, not only because Yang Rui deliberately sent someone out to stop him, but also because the matter of the family's relocation was not discussed with him at all.

Yang Rui put down the book, turned his face to the side, and said, "You don't have to say to the concubine when you do things, then the concubine needs to report everything to you?" Hmph, then who is the lord of the world? ”

"Now that you know that I will definitely come to see you when I hear the news, what does it mean to send someone out to stop you? Once or twice I can think you're still angry and really don't want to see me. So many times, what does it mean? Han Jian also asked with questioning in his tone.

Yang Rui sneered, "No matter what, I have already made a decision. It's useless to talk about moving the capital! (To be continued......)
