Yang Li'er sensed the boredom in Han Jian's heart, and as a pillow person, Yang Li'er was also very attentive to Han Jian's service, so as to use her own gentleness to melt Han Jian. Han Jian was also happy to see Yang Li'er's charming and moving side, and there was rarely love between the husband and wife along the way, so they didn't fall asleep until late.

By the next morning, Han Jian was still asleep, and Ning Yuan came back from the city in a carriage. There were also dozens of cavalry escorting him back, all of them were Jiangdu's disciples who fought bravely and skillfully in the north, Ning Yuan felt bad when he went out of the city, Han Jian actually sent someone to urge him to come back, as if he knew something, but he felt that Han Jian would not be so well-informed and even knew what was happening in the Taishou Mansion.

"Master Ning, you can count it back." Just when Ning Yuan wanted to go back to the tent to rest first, freshen up and change his clothes by the way, and cover up the fat powder on his body, suddenly a minister came out from behind the tent and startled Ning Yuan.

"Yun Langzhong, what are you doing?"

Ning Yuan took a look, but it was only a household Langzhong, he didn't pay too much attention to this kind of official, and he actually came to scare him. Even if Ning Yuan is not a person who must be compared, he is a little disgusted with this poor life surnamed Yun, and after thinking about it carefully, his brain is a little dizzy, since he can't think of what this Hubu Langzhong is called.

The man hurriedly said: "Taishi Ning can still be so calm and relaxed, but I don't know that after you entered the city last night, He Liang, the Taishou of Ningzhou, came to the camp in person and reported your royal state to Your Majesty." ”

Ning Yuan was really frightened, his hands were trembling slightly, and he grabbed Tobe Langzhong's hand and asked, "When did he say anything to His Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty was summoned alone, where do I know what is being said. If I hadn't listened to the guards talk about it occasionally, I'm afraid you would still be in the dark by now, Taishi Ning. After that, I listened to the guards. Your Majesty has been to Ning Guifei, as if he left something for the concubine, why don't you ask the concubine Niangniang first? ”

Ning Yuan suddenly panicked, he was still immersed in yesterday's gentle tent and couldn't extricate himself, and even when he came back, he was thinking about how to bring people to Luoyang so that he could enjoy that kind of warmth again, but he didn't expect to turn his head and put him with He Liang, who was still attached to him. This made him not know how to see Han Jian again.

"You go back first, don't tell anyone about this, otherwise you will never be spared!" Ning Yuan said in a somewhat threatening tone.

The man hurriedly saluted and left, and when the people left, Ning Yuan was also considering whether to go to his daughter to ask about the situation. Although he is also a national abbot and has relatives with Han Jian, he knows that Ning Xiuyan's path is not very safe, and Han Jian has never taken Ning Xiuyan into the palace is a good proof, but he doesn't know that it was Ning Xiuyan's insistence that he failed to make the trip.

Ning Yuan asked about the tent where Ning Xiuyan lived. I was about to inquire, but before I could get closer, I was stopped by the guards.

"Forgive me, this is the tent area of the palace ladies, and you are not allowed to approach it at will." The guards spoke very politely, they often saw Ning Yuan entering and leaving the palace gate, and they also knew that Ning Yuan was the identity of the first assistant, so they didn't dare to offend the head of this civil official.

Ning Yuan said: "I'm tired of going over, and the old minister wants to ask you to see the concubine." said that the old minister wanted to see his daughter. ”

"This ......," the guard was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Ning Yuan smiled and handed over an ingot of gold. This gold was given to him by the people who guarded the palace when he left in the morning, and he did not expect that this gold was poisoned at that time. Now that I think about it, He Liang is really insidious and vicious, even if he runs out of the city to sue him, he will actually find someone to send him gold to paralyze him.

The guards accepted the benefits, but they still followed Ning Yuan's wishes and went in to pass the ceremony. Ning Yuan watched from afar as the guard arrived outside his daughter's bedroom, and there was a palace maid to receive her, and the palace maid went in to pass the ceremony, and after a while, the palace maid came out and passed a word to the guard, and the guard came over.

"Can I get in?" Ning Yuan hurriedly asked.

The guard saluted and said, "Master Huining." The concubine has a life, she doesn't see Mrs. Ning, and asks Mrs. Ning to go back, and if there is something to tell Your Majesty clearly. These are the words from the palace people sent by the concubine Niangniang, and there is no concealment in the slightest. ”

Ning Yuan sighed, he was a little annoyed, and now he didn't even want to see his daughter, which meant that this matter was a big deal. He also knew that Han Jian had already had the intention of recalling him, this time he followed Han Jian, saying that he was an accompaniment, but in fact, he wanted to contain him and prevent him from becoming an unstable factor in Luoyang, in this case, he fell in love with He Liang, and he was even wondering if He Liang was bought by Han Jian and deliberately set up this game for him.

Just when Ning Yuan was thinking about where to go, a guard suddenly came over and saluted with his fists: "Master Ning, Your Majesty knows that you are coming back, please go to the big tent to talk about it." ”

Ning Yuan's face was ugly, which meant that Han Jian was going to ask the teacher for guilt, and it depended on what kind of way Han Jian was going to use. He went into the city to inspect on behalf of the Son of Heaven, not only did he fail to complete his duties, but he was also bitten by the local Taishou, and he did not enter the city this time It was unclean, and the beauty he gave him with He Liang last night didn't know how many Spring Festivals he had, and the matter was publicized, even if Han Jian didn't punish him, his old face would be gone.

"You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity." Ning Yuan felt as if he had suddenly collapsed, and his body was a little overturned, but he was supported by the guards next to him.

"Master Ning, are you okay?" The guards were very polite, and did not come to arrest him, but only to pass on the word.

Ning Yuan didn't answer, and pointed to the way ahead, realizing that he was letting the guards lead the way. No matter how he thought that Han Jian would not let him go this time, he had long wanted to depose him, how could Han Jian let him go now that he had the opportunity?

Ning Yuan's steps were very heavy to the outside of the big tent, thinking that there were courtiers coming over at Han Jian's behest, and Han Jian was ready to "judge" him in public, but when he arrived at the door of the big tent, it was deserted, and there were only a few guards stationed there, and he couldn't see the appearance of a minister inside.

"Master Ning is back?" Instead, Han Jian personally lifted the curtain of the tent, glanced at Ning Yuan with a very heavy look, and then turned around and went in, "Come in and talk." ”

Ning Yuan followed inside, but the guards didn't get inside, Ning Yuan stood still and looked around, only to realize that there were only two people in this big tent, he and Han Jian. He didn't quite understand Han Jian's intentions, he thought to himself, could Han Jian still spare him?

Han Jian said: "Last night, Taishi Ning went into the city to inspect, what did you gain?" ”

Ning Yuan was nervous, he didn't know how to answer, now that the matter was clear, Han Jian still came to ask. Is that trying to make him confess to himself? He simply gritted his teeth, swallowed the words he wanted to say back into his stomach, and saluted: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister entered the city, but there was no gain." ”

"Oh." Han Jian nodded indifferently and said. "I bowed to my body yesterday, so I ordered Taishi Ning to enter the city on my behalf, you are also tired, since there is nothing to do, go back to rest, don't be bothered by anything."

Ning Yuan muttered in his heart, what is going on, is it wrong as expected, Han Jian has no intention of punishing him. Or yes. Han Jian is ready to make a bigger move?

Ning Yuan asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that Ningzhou was too guarded by He Liang, and he went out of the city yesterday, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded slightly, "He came out and said some nonsense, and he was ashamed to report your mistakes to me, how could I allow him to commit the next crime?" Reprimanded him and let him go back to the city early. ”

"This ......" Ning Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's still very tangled. This is not Han Jian's intention to let him go, it may be another plan. That's all he can think.

Han Jian said again: "As for the chaos in various parts of my Wei Dynasty, we must wait for the world to calm down and then solve it together, and I will not consider other things." Master Ning should understand what I mean, right? ”

"Yes, yes, the old minister understands." Ning Yuan saluted.

"Then you step aside, and continue to set off for the south today. Seeing that it is not too early at this time, if you can't hurry up and get to Jiangdu. I am afraid that the use of troops against the south will be delayed until the summer, when it will be rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, which will not be conducive to our army's march and operation. ”

After saying that, Ning Yuan was kicked out of the camp, and Ning Yuan still had a feeling of immortality after he came out. This time it really scared him out of a cold sweat. When he came out, his whole body was still trembling when he was blown by the wind, and the things were so strange that he felt very strange.

He thought about the meaning of Han Jian's words carefully, it seemed that Han Jian didn't want to deal with him, everything was prioritized by the war against the south, and the same was true for dealing with local affairs, and the same was true for dealing with him. Ning Yuan showed a slight sneer on his face, he thought to himself, if you don't deal with me now, go back and wait for me to be full-fledged, I'm afraid I won't know who will deal with whom.

……

……

Han Jian in the north is still on the way south to Jiangdu, and in Yangzhou City, Sima Yi also wants to be with the other party's Tai Shou to be wrong. Sui Hua came to Sima every day for a few days to ask about the strategy of using soldiers, as if he was humbly taught, but in fact, he inquired about the truth.

Or that day Dousheng's words reminded Sui Hua, since Sima Yi was sitting in Yangzhou, it is likely that the emperor of the Northern Dynasty would avoid Yangzhou when he used troops, and chose to attack from other roads, as for fighting Jiang and Jiangxi, even Sui Hua did not believe it, but he still had to ask Sima Yi clearly where to use troops. It's a pity that Sima Yi didn't know about it, so he naturally couldn't explain it to Sui Hua.

As soon as Sui Hua left that night, Sima Yi was about to drink a cup of tea, but one of them came uninvited. It is the mysterious person who comes and goes, and it is also Li Shanye who made Sima unable to understand in the Southern Dynasty.

Li Shanye sat down directly with a letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm not talented, I'm here to ask Brother Sima for a cup of tea again." ”

"Huan'er, serve tea to Mr." Sima Yu didn't say hello, and directly called Huan'er to pour tea.

"Okay." Huan'er came out with hot tea, knelt down respectfully, poured a cup of tea for Li Shanye, and filled a cup for Sima Yi. Huan'er looked at Sima Yi's eyes full of tenderness, and even Li Shanye next to him noticed some clues. Then Huan'er got up with the teapot and left, and it was time to change the water again.

Li Shanye said with a smile: "I originally thought that the Sima brothers would not be very suitable for life in Yangzhou, but I didn't expect that you would be accompanied by a beautiful woman, with light tea and light rice, and it would be so suitable." This Huan'er girl is also a touching little master who can warm people's hearts. ”

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Could it be that Mr. Li covets the beautiful flowers around me, and I advise Mr. you not to think about it." ”

Li Shanye laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is the hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass, and after the careful care of Miss Huan'er, even the Sima brothers, who are not smiling, will actually make fun of me." ”

The conversation was also very pleasant, but Sima Yi actually didn't want to have too much nonsense with Li Shanye. Sima Yu asked, "Sir should have come for something, could it be to deliver a letter for His Majesty or King Hui?" ”

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the letter in Li Shanye's hand. Li Shanye shook his head with a smile and said: "This letter is not written by Your Majesty or King Hui, you think I am reckless, Your Majesty rarely asks about anything, not to mention that there are so many capable people around King Hui, they will find someone to pass on major matters, how can they pass through me?" ”

"Then this is ......"

Li Shanye took the letter into his arms and said, "This is a secret letter from the Northern Dynasty, which I inquired about from some northern friends. However, it is said that when Luan of the Northern Dynasty drove through Ningzhou Mansion, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty sent Ning Yuan, the minister of Shangshutai, to inspect the city on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Guess what, Brother Sima? ”

Sima Yi had never heard of this, and he had no way of guessing. He shook his head honestly.

"If Brother Sima is the Taishou of Ningzhou, what should he do?" Li Shanye asked as if he was taking an exam.

Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "The change of the royal family in the Northern Dynasty, the old ministers may not be trusted by the new emperor, if Ning Yuan is used to win over the magistrates, I am afraid that the magistrates will not be willing to give in easily." It's just that he is in a high position and power, and the place has to be perfunctory, and I think it's almost like this. How did the gentleman know about this? ”

"It seems that Brother Sima has seen it thoroughly, and it is true that this Ning Yuan is not a good wood and cannot be trusted. It is not easy to say that this Ning Yuan himself is also an ambitious person, an old minister who has gone through four dynasties, and when he arrives in the new emperor's first dynasty, he can still be a very popular minister. But the biggest problem is that he has encountered a stronger monarch, in front of a strong emperor, the more ambitious and capable the courtiers are, the more they will be suspicious, but unfortunately this Ning Yuan is still too eager for quick success, and will be used by the local guards. ”

"Oh?" Sima Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that Ning Yuan suffered a loss in the place?" ”

"Exactly. On the night that Ning Yuan entered the city, the local Taishou went out of the city to the emperor to complain to the emperor, denouncing Ning Yuan for leaving his post without permission, and even occupying the people's daughters in the name of the emperor, asking for money and making a statement, which were all taboos for the emperor. It can be said that if it is a peaceful year, Ning Yuan's guilt is not small. Brother Sima, what do you guess the emperor of the Northern Dynasty did? ”

Sima Yi didn't have to think about it this time, and said directly: "It should be that you don't ask." ”

"Did Brother Sima hear about this? Why is the guess so accurate? ”

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Mr. also said just now, if the crime of the peaceful year is not small, but is it a peaceful year now?" Even if Ning Yuan is not good, he is also the minister of Lingshang Shutai, a very good minister, who dares to say irresponsible things? As an emperor, he should be able to distinguish which is more important than the other, if he rashly attacks the first and auxiliary ministers in this stormy autumn, I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable, and how can we talk about using troops against the south?
