Chapter 312: Opening the Mansion (Part II)
Seeing Han Jian and Gu Weipan, these people stepped forward to mention their requests, and some of them wanted to put pressure on Han Jian. But they didn't dare to be too aggressive, lest they provoke Han Jian again and have the same situation as yesterday.
"Do you want to see Your Majesty?" Han Jian smiled coldly, "Now that Your Majesty is sick, you don't know it." I can't be the master of this. ”
As he spoke, Han Jian set his eyes on Gu Weipan, judging from Gu Weipan's expression, Gu Weipan should have known about this for a long time. And Gu Weipan should also be under a lot of pressure recently, the empress doesn't show up for a day, no matter how hard he works, the people below will also feel that this is a conspiracy of the East Palace.
Lin Ke said: "Now that the guards of His Majesty's dormitory have changed, this move by the East King is inevitably illegal. We don't want to interfere with His Majesty's recuperation, but we just want to verify His Majesty's physical condition. This is also convenient for the task entrusted by the king of the east, so as to administer medicine for His Majesty's symptoms. ”
When Han Jian saw the attitude of these people, he knew that they didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles. Now that Han Jian has summoned them over to discuss the matter, and has taken over the political affairs on behalf of Han Jian, these people are in danger, and they also want to hear the empress's meaning with their own ears, so that they can rest assured.
At this time, Han Song's voice suddenly came from behind Han Jian: "Since they want to see His Majesty, they might as well go to His Majesty's dormitory to ask for a meeting." Today, the concubine went to the palace to say hello, and her majesty's health improved. When visible people. ”
"Huh?" said that His Majesty could see people, but the people present were a little flustered and didn't know how to deal with it. Originally, they discussed in private, this matter must be a conspiracy of the Eastern Palace, and the Eastern Palace's palace imprisoned the empress, and then coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Now they say that they can see the Empress, which means that their previous speculation is out of nowhere.
Lin Ke said: "Then bother the princess of the county to lead the way." ”
Han Song will not personally lead the way, but let his subordinates beckon many people out of the house. When the people were almost out, Han Song nodded to Han Jian, meaning that everything was already under control.
Han Jian didn't ask in detail, but he could also see that after he returned to the city, the empress was indeed not in the city. Even so, the empress sincerely handed over power to him, and had no intention of seizing power with him.
Now think. Han Jian instead hoped that the empress would be there. Not seeing him for a while, Han Jian was also a little worried about the safety of the empress. In my heart, I also blamed myself for saying too much at the beginning, so that the empress could not come to the stage. Han Jian just wanted to see the empress and apologize in person.
Arrived at the Chengdong Mansion. Many ministers can't wait to break in.
Han Song got out of the carriage. shouted: "So unruly! ”
This one drinks. The ministers who were about to move were quiet. They just wanted to see the empress earlier, and some were even ready to cry in front of the empress, begging the empress to come back to power instead of leaving the political affairs to Han Jian to deal with. These people came to see the Empress. I didn't have a good heart, so as soon as I arrived at the mansion, I was a little swarmed, and when Han Song's voice was shouted, these people were also a little vigilant, remembering that this was the land of Jiangdu.
"Below the second grade, you are not allowed to enter." Han Songshi said, and the people entered the main gate first.
The rest of the ministers looked at each other, and there were many officials present, but there were not many officials above the second grade, and there were only a dozen in total. Most of these officials are just empty titles, but they are also a bottom line for seeing the empress.
"Didn't you hear what the princess said?" Gu Weipan came out with a straight face, said a word, ordered the people, and left those who were not of the second grade, and the rest of the people followed him into the door.
When I arrived at the mansion, I felt as if I was about to enter the palace. You can't walk slowly, and you also need people to guide you along the way, and you can't just look at the noise.
Han Jian walked calmly and leisurely, and arrived outside the courtyard of the empress's bedroom. Han Song had already come out of it, and she was the first person to see the "Empress".
"Your Majesty has a purpose, and you can only meet the two of you. I wonder who went in to meet me? Han Songshi looked at Gu Weipan and the others.
Originally, thirty or forty people picked a dozen, but now a dozen can only pick two. Although these officials all wanted to go in, they also knew how many catties and taels they had.
As the minister of state, Gu Weipan should go in to meet him, which is undisputed. Another candidate was originally from the cabinet, but some people still recommended Lin Ke, feeling that Lin Ke was "more weighty". It was clearly said that Lin Ke wanted to go in to see the empress's physical condition so that it was convenient to find a doctor, but in fact, these people felt that Lin Ke and Han Jian had a deep contradiction, and they should speak on their behalf when they went in.
"His Majesty also summoned the East King." Han Song looked at Han Jian and said.
Han Jian nodded and took a step ahead, and then Gu Weipan and Lin Ke followed Han Fitness and walked to the door of the empress's dormitory with the four of Han Song.
Then, the door opened gently, and Fa Yi stood by the door and saluted.
"There is labor." Han Songshi said a word and entered the door first, followed by Han Jian, Gu Weipan, and Lin Ke.
This is also the first time Han Jian has come to the empress's dormitory after returning to Jiangdu. When I entered the door, I saw a curtain of yarn. The light in the whole room was very low, the windows were closed, and there was not even a brazier inside, but the temperature was not low. As soon as I entered, I heard someone coughing behind the veil, and I really looked like the empress if I recognized it carefully.
Hearing this cough, Gu Weipan and Lin Ke glanced at each other.
On the outside, I can't even see the general situation inside, let alone be sure that it is the empress inside. This cough alone was not enough to deceive these two ministers who had been with the empress for more than ten years.
"Your Majesty is inconvenient to meet guests, please come inside, don't say much." Fa also reminded him.
Han Jian pondered the meaning of this, it should be to prevent Gu Weipan and Lin Ke from asking more questions, lest the "empress" not be able to answer and reveal flaws.
Gu Weipan and Lin Ke saluted and nodded, but they also followed Han Fitness with a cautious face, and several people entered the outer hall. The Empress was only separated by two veils and a screen.
"King Dong, but you're here? Ahem......" came from inside. With Han Jian's understanding of the empress, it was impossible to tell from this voice whether the empress was real or false.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is Your Majesty, the Minister has come to greet you." Han Jian hurriedly saluted.
"No, I'm not feeling well, but it's fine. After a few days of resting, he can be healed, and the king of the east has a heart. Voices continued to come from inside.
Han Jian saluted and glanced sideways at Lin Ke and Gu Weipan.
At this time, Gu Weipan was very polite, standing there without even saying a word, and his attitude was respectful. And Lin Ke turned his head sideways as if he was looking behind the screen, as if to confirm whether it was the empress who was speaking inside.
"Who's coming in?" Voices came from inside again.
"Back to Your Majesty, there are also Gu Taifu and Dongge Lin Shangshu." Fa Yi's voice came.
"Hmm. In the past few days, I have been in poor health and can't see the wind, Mrs. Gu, is there any major matter that can't be solved in the court? The Empress asked.
Gu Weipan said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the court is still stable." It's just that His Majesty instructed that the matter of entrusting the political affairs to the East King is still being handed over, and the ministers will do their best to assist the East King, and take care of the government in these days when His Majesty is not there. ”
"Hmm." The empress said again, "Mrs. Gu has lived up to my high hopes. ”
"Majesty." Gu Wei Pan Cheng saluted in fear.
"If it's okay, let's go out first. I'm going to rest. Voices came from inside again.
"Your Majesty, there are still ministers." Lin Ke said, moving forward step by step, as if he wanted to get closer to the front, remove the screen, and verify the authenticity of the empress, "Your Majesty, you are not in these days, but the ministers are suffering......"
Saying that, Lin Ke was still moving forward in small steps, as if he was wiping his tears, but Han Jian could detect that this person's acting skills were very high, and he was actually playing his conspiracy while expressing his sincerity in this situation.
However, Han Jian is not a vegetarian, although he does not have eyes behind his ears, he can clearly find out what this person is doing, just when Lin Ke figured out Gu ò Han Jian, he stepped forward quickly, Han Jian stumbled under his feet, and Lin Ke, who rushed forward excitedly, did not notice it at all, and was directly tripped by Han Jian and fell to the ground.
"Ahh Lin Ke directly faced the ground, this fall was not light, and the blood on his face flowed directly.
"Lin Shangshu, it's okay." Han Jian stepped forward to check with concern.
Lin Ke just had a stir under his feet just now, and he didn't know that it was Han Jian's "masterpiece", at this time, he was so stunned that he couldn't even speak, where did he still have the brain to think about whether Han Jian was true or false?
"What's going on?" The Empress's voice came from inside.
"Back to His Majesty, Lin Shangshu fell down because of his excitement." Fa Yi's voice came.
"Fulin Shangshu go out. I don't want people to disturb me. When I am healed, I will go out to meet your ministers. After saying that, the empress's voice seemed to be very lazy, and she wanted to rest.
"Lin Shangshu, if it's okay, let's go together?" Han Jian stepped forward and helped Lin Ke up. Gu Weipan also stepped forward to take a hand, and the two helped Lin Ke out of the door.
Outside the door, the dozen or so people waiting outside were already very impatient, and when they saw Lin Ke coming out with blood on his face, they naturally stepped forward to ask for clarification.
"Lin Shangshu, what are you...... What's wrong? ”
Han Jian sighed: "Lin Shangshu was too excited when he saw His Majesty, and he accidentally fell and injured himself. ”
"Huh?" The people present looked at each other, they naturally knew that Lin Ke was cautious, how could he accidentally throw himself into such a look? Xin said that there was something strange in it, but Lin Ke didn't deny it, and they didn't say anything.
"Chief Gu, what did Your Majesty say?" At this time, these people had no choice but to ask Gu Weipan.
Gu Weipan roughly repeated the empress's words, in fact, they were all inconsequential words, when the people present heard that the empress was indeed sick, they didn't say much, and they all looked very emotional, as if they accepted their fate, and they would accept the jurisdiction of the East Wangfu in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since you have seen Your Majesty, please go to the East Palace's Mansion to talk first, so as not to disturb Your Majesty's rest here." Han Jian said.
The officials said no more, and under the guidance of the guards, they walked towards the door.
Han Jian was also about to leave, when the door of the dormitory opened again, and Han Song and Fa also walked out together. Han Song said: "King Dong, Your Majesty has summoned you, and the concubine can return to the house with all the ministers." You go in first to see Your Majesty. ”
As he spoke, Fa Yi stood at the door, as if he was waiting for Han Jian. When Han Jian saw this, he said in his heart that it couldn't really be the empress inside, right?
Before, Han Jian couldn't judge from the sound alone, but now he asked Fa Yi to send him in, he really couldn't think of it, where was this? (To be continued......)
