Chapter 762: One Step Ahead

Although Ning Xiuyan has been with Han Jian for a long time, she has not officially entered the door of the East Palace, and the only people who can communicate with her besides the maids are Yang Xiuxiu and Ning Shun'er in the past, and she has no experience in communicating with the women in the East Palace. And Fa Yi felt snubbed by Han Jian's aunts in the Dongwang Mansion, but after all, she was Han Jianyi's concubine who married into the mansion with formal etiquette, in terms of status, even if Ning Xiuyan could enter the Dongwang Mansion in the future, she could not compare with Fa Yi after all.

Ning Xiuyan was still very restrained when she saw Han Jian and Fa Yi, and she couldn't let go at all. Even if she is smart, I don't know why Han Jian chose to hide in the city this time and took her with her.

And Fa Yi himself also takes care of his identity and etiquette, so naturally there will be no such "ridiculous" thing as sleeping with Ning Xiuyan. These days, even if Han Jian asks them to accompany them, they will be separated, and there will be no contact.

Han Jian entered the room, while Fa Ye was still waiting outside. Han Jian still cherishes the women around him, if he changes someone else, he will never be willing to let them blow the cold wind outside, but the law is different, the law is also a person who practices martial arts, and he needs to breathe and breathe, Han Jian himself has learned those methods of pranayama, and knows that it is more suitable to practice martial arts outside. Han Jian was also not prepared to have too much lingering time with Ning Xiuyan and snubbed Fa Yi.

"Master......" Ning Xiuyan was still very restrained when she saw Han Jian coming in, and looked at the packed baggage and said, "The concubine has been packed up, and she can take it away at any time tomorrow." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry." Han Jian sat down with a smile, poured a cup of tea and drank it. These days, Ning Xiuyan not only has to help clean up, but also has to serve tea and water as a slave, and even boil water and make tea. She was also pampered, and according to her own words, these things were originally easy for her to sit up. It's just that I don't do it often lately, and it's a little tiring to do it all of a sudden.

Han Jian asked Ning Xiuyan to come over and hugged her into his arms. Ning Xiuyan was used to it, and as soon as she sat down, her face was already red. Han Jian was not too presumptuous, he just wanted to be closer to her. But before he could take any further action, there was a knock on the door, but it was not the door of the house. It's the courtyard gate.

Han Jian was alert, and Ning Xiuyan immediately stood up. Han Jian expected that the Fa outside should also be in the midst of a big war, waiting for Han Jian to go out. The knock on the door sounded again, but this time it was regular, and it should have been Onishiyanagi himself.

"Who?" Fa Yi was still very wary and stepped forward, with a long sword in her hand. Asked.

"Young boy. It's a subordinate. "It's indeed the voice of Onishiyanagi outside.

Fa Yi opened the door at this time, and Onishiliu came inside, but she only came alone without an entourage. Han Jian had specially explained before, if he had nothing to do, he couldn't come to him, and if there was anything, Han Jian would send a message to the past. Since Onishi Yanagi came, it means that something important must have happened.

Han Jian didn't speak, and when he arrived in the hall, Han Jian sat down and asked, "Didn't this king confess before." Even if you know where the king is, don't come. So as not to be stalked and noticed? ”

Daxi Liu hurriedly saluted and confessed, and Han Jian waved his hand and said, "Okay." Something to say quickly. ”

Daxi Liu said: "Back to the young prince, my subordinates have checked that the rebel party in the Ming Dynasty is about to steal the city defense tomorrow night, and the rebel army outside the city will take the opportunity to kill in the city and then seize the palace guards." There are rebels in the East Palace, and they will cooperate to attack the East Palace. ”

"Oh." Han Jian nodded, "Reliable news?" ”

Onishiyanagi affirmed, "Reliable. ”

Han Jian nodded at this time, and asked Onishiliu to report more details on the situation. It turned out that in the days since he disappeared, the people in the court who wanted to eradicate the Dongwang Mansion couldn't hold back, even if they knew that many things about Han Jian's disappearance might be variable, they still didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. Once Yang Rui ordered the refugees outside the city to be repatriated north of the Yellow River, the conspiracy would be over. This is clearly not what those people want to see.

"Have you found any Shangshutai officials, and which ones are related to this matter?" Han Jian asked suddenly.

Han Jian's question made Ning Xiuyan's expression change. Han Jian didn't ask anything else, and directly asked Shangshutai who was related to this matter, although her father Ning Yuan was a Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, but after all, he was also a minister of Shangshutai, equivalent to the second auxiliary minister of the Wei Dynasty. Once Onishiyanagi said that her father was involved, she really didn't know what to do.

"Back to the young son, his subordinates have not yet fully ascertained." Daxiliu's words made Ning Xiuyan breathe a sigh of relief, "Lin Ke, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has secretly contacted the ministers of the DPRK and China many times, and the mansions of these officials are now closely monitored. ”

Han Jian nodded slightly and said, "Remove the surveillance." In Lin Ke's eyes, these people are just puppets after the fact, and he can't use them for the time being. Instead of spending manpower on these people, it is better to deal with those who may change in the army of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. ”

"Yes." Onishiyanagi received another order.

Han Jian waved his hand and said, "You go back and make arrangements." Tomorrow you are in the city, and you have the authority to act cheaply, and if you do well, you and your sister will be able to retire sooner, and you won't have to be too busy. ”

Onishiyanagi's expression showed some confusion and embarrassment, and finally he received the order, and then left the small courtyard. When the others left, Fa Yili waited at the head of the wall for a long time, she was making sure if someone was following Da Xiliu. It wasn't until she was sure that there was nothing unusual that she got down from the wall and returned to Han Jian's side.

"Pack your things, it seems that you can't wait until tomorrow, you have to change your place of residence today." Han Jian said.

Fa Yi glanced at Ning Xiuyan and asked, "Is the young boy afraid that someone will come after him?" ”

Han Jian smiled, beside Ning Xiuyan, Fa Yi couldn't let go of herself, and a husband would make her feel awkward, so she simply called her the most basic title "Young Prince", but it was not as open as Ning Xiuyan.

"It's not." Han Jian said, "There are a lot of things that are inconvenient to do here. ”

"Where is the young boy going?" Fa also felt strange, she was hiding in the first place, it was the same everywhere, and she was all going to deliver the news, but there was a difference between distance and proximity, how could it be convenient or inconvenient?

Han Jian smiled: "Go to the military station." That's where you should be. ”

Fa Yi is still puzzled in his heart, does going to the military station mean that everything is exposed? But she still obeyed the order and walked out of the small courtyard with Han Jian and Ning Xiuyan. Follow the night to the direction of the military station's yamen.

Because there is no curfew on the road, although there are few people on the street, there is no official to patrol the military station. There was only a faint light coming from inside. But after all, it is the military hub of the entire Luoyang and even the Wei Dynasty, and there are many defenses inside and outside.

Seeing Han Jian, the soldiers and guards did not dare to slack off, and no one dared to stop Han Jian from entering in person. When they got inside, the generals and strategists on duty knew that it was Han Jian who had come, and Han Jian had not appeared in the military station for seven days before.

"Young boy." One of the strategists was startled when he saw Han Jian, and he almost fell.

"Nothing. This king has not come over for the past few days, but today he has come to see if there is any war to deal with. After Han Jian finished speaking, he went directly to the handsome desk and sat down. The generals who were on duty in the military station gathered in the hall.

"Young boy." The generals and strategists saluted Han Jian together.

Han Jian waved his hand, on the one hand, to let these people not be polite, and also to let Ning Xiuyan and Fa Yi, who were carrying the burden, stand on the side. These generals and strategists obviously didn't expect Han Jianshen to come in the middle of the night, and he also brought two female dependents with him. It looks like dragging the family and fleeing. Han Jian had supreme authority under the military system of the Eastern Palace. Even if they were suspicious, they didn't dare to say anything casually.

"What's going on these days?" Han Jian asked suddenly.

A general said: "The previous battle reports in the north and Guanzhong were all received by Wu'an on behalf of the young son, and they were circulated to the young master. I don't have the right to check a lot of confidential battle reports, whether they are ...... The young boy didn't see these battle reports? ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "I've seen it all." So that means nothing else? ”

These generals and strategists didn't know what Han Jian was asking, since Han Jian knew more things than them, and all they knew was that little bit of a star, what else was there to ask? But after all, there are still some people who know what Han Jian meant, and Han Jian is not asking about the battle report on the front line. It's what is happening in Luoyang City right now. To say that Luoyang City is also calm these days, the biggest thing is that the East King is "missing". Many people said that Han Jian secretly led the troops north, and the news gradually spread. The main reason is that Han Jian has never even appeared in the military station, and these generals in the military station also think that this rumor is true. They also felt strange when they saw Han Jian in Luoyang.

"Back to the young son, there is nothing else." A general replied on his behalf.

"Okay." Han Jian nodded and said with a smile, "You guys are doing a good job, this king is not in these days, you can maintain the city defense of Dongwangfu and Luoyang." However, this king came back this time to arrange a change of guard. ”

When Han Jian said "changing guards", some of them instinctively felt a crisis in their hearts. Han Jian knew very early on that some people in the Dongwang Mansion were plotting against him, which was the reason why he didn't even believe in the people in the Dongwang Mansion, as long as he leaked his secrets, or told his purpose at the military meeting, it was impossible for the Xianbei people and the Nanqi people to know, but the people of the imperial court faction must be able to know. This time, Han Jian had to deal with the suppression of the Dongwang Mansion by the imperial court faction, and he had to hide the entire Dongwang Mansion before doing anything, so as to ensure that the people of the imperial court faction thought that he was kept in the dark.

At this time, Han Jian suddenly came back and said that he was going to change his guard, which obviously exceeded some people's expectations. No matter what reason Han Jian changed his guard, it would disrupt the subordinates in the imperial court faction who wanted to rebel.

"Young boy, the matter of changing the guard is very important, and now that Luoyang is in full bloom, it should not be easily transferred."

Han Jian smiled: "There are some things that you don't have to worry about. From this point on, you are only allowed to enter and leave the yamen of the military station, and you can treat yourself as prisoners. Before tomorrow, if anyone wants to leave this place, they will be punished according to the crime of banditry, and the nine clans will be exterminated! ”

Han Jian said this, no matter whether the people present got the news in advance or not, they now knew that something big had happened.

"You are waiting here, don't even go out of the door, if someone is inconvenient, there will be a night pot and toilet next to you and you in an emergency." After Han Jian finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the guards to come in, but these guards were not the ones that Han Jian used to follow before, and these generals and strategists were surprised. After all, most of the guards around Han Jian knew each other, but right now, all of them were unsmiling and dusty, more like soldiers on the battlefield.

Han Jian wanted to change the defense of the entire Luoyang, so he first changed the defense of the yamen of the military station, and the soldiers of the original military yamen were also replaced, and at the same time a new batch of soldiers were replaced. When these soldiers entered the city, these people are not clear.

After all the arrangements were made, all the generals in the yamen of the military station were placed in the main hall, and if anyone came again, they would all be "invited" in, and they would not be allowed to leave until dawn.

Although there was still a day before the start of the rebellion investigated by the Onishiyanagi Institute, Han Jian had already started to act in advance. Han Jian will not wait for the rebellion to start before acting, nor will he start all the actions in advance, but first start the layout and disrupt the plans of the people in the imperial court faction to rebel, which makes them have to take risks in advance, and then they will act in a hurry, and Han Jian will secretly implement his own plan in an orderly manner, and capture all the rebellions. This will expose the person hiding in the shadows without causing too much damage. But more importantly, Han Jian wants to maintain the "incense" of the imperial court, even if Han Jian wants to attack the people of the imperial court faction, he still has to save some face for Yang Rui after all. After this incident, the imperial court still had to operate normally.

The front hall was arranged, and the generals and strategists felt that the matter was very important, and that it was only doubtful and did not dare to act if it was not their business, and that it was related to the rebellion itself, and they were thinking about how to get out and pass the news on. But in fact, they don't need to pass on anything, as long as the Luoyang City Defense Change starts, everyone will know that something is wrong. It's just that no one knows that Han Jian has returned to the military yamen, or that this person in the military yamen is the real Han Jian and not a stand-in.

Han Jian entered the inner hall, and in the inner hall, only Fa Yi and Ning Xiuyan accompanied her. After all, Fa Yi is a person who has done great things, and she is no longer surprised by the struggle for power, but Ning Xiuyan is the first time she has experienced it after all, and she still feels uneasy in her heart with such a direct contact. And when she followed Han Jian and Fa Yi into the quiet inner hall that was completely different from the outside atmosphere, she was even more at a loss in her heart.

"Don't worry, tomorrow, you can go back to reunite with Shun'er and the county lord." Han Jian sat down and smiled at Ning Xiuyan.

Ning Xiuyan looked at the smile on Han Jian's face, and her heart settled down a little. No matter what, she now regards Han Jian as the backbone, and what Han Jian says is what she is. Han Jian said that it was okay, and she really didn't doubt it in her heart.

Fa also seems very natural, and he is also unsmiling as when he was in the small courtyard before.

When Ning Xiuyan didn't know what to do, Han Jian picked up his pen and began to issue his order to change guards to all parts of the city defense.

"If you are tired, you can rest for a while. No one will disturb your rest tonight. Han Jian said.

Han Jian said so, but for Ning Xiuyan, who was worried, how could he sleep? (To be continued......)
