Han Jian smiled, and didn't care about Ning Yuan's "pretending to be confused". He also knew that Ning Yuan wanted to protect himself now, but he also knew that if Ning Yuan was given the opportunity to make a comeback, Ning Yuan would naturally seize it. Ning Yuan's most basic political consciousness is still there, that is, once a son of heaven and a courtier, if he can't grasp the opportunity to be reused by the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the imperial court, even if Yang Yu comes back in the future, the Ning family may not be preserved.

Han Jian smiled: "Since this is the case, this king will also make it clear." This king is quite suspicious of Lin Shilang's ability to be in power, and has always wanted to find a suitable candidate to recommend to His Majesty to replace Lin Shilang. ”

Ning Yuan took a cool breath. Han Jian's words were very sensitive.

In the case that the situation of the court is not very stable, Lin Ke is no longer a simple servant or a minister, Lin Ke already represents a faction, the head of a faction, and many people obey Lin Ke's words. This is also the reason why Lin Ke can mix well in the court, that is, the court and the Dongwang Mansion have places that rely on him, mainly because of connections.

Now Han Jian directly said that he wanted to replace, in other words, Ning Yuan thought, is this a hint that I have a chance?

"Your Highness, ...... you"

Han Jian continued: "The impact of General Su's incident this time is really bad. However, because General Su wanted to pacify the traitors for the imperial court after all, and now he was not subject to the orders of the generals abroad, even if the imperial court disposed of it, it could not be the present. In such a situation, Lin Shilang couldn't come out to think about the court, but he repeatedly put pressure on the court, which made the king very dissatisfied. That's why this king recommended to His Majesty to let that Ning Shangshu come out to calm down this chaos. If Ning Shangshu can make the court unified, this king will recommend Ning Shangshu to His Majesty, replace Lin Shilang, and lead Shangshutai to assist the court. ”

When Ning Yuan heard Han Jian's words, he was still quite shocked in his heart, and at the same time, he also had an expectation. Although this expectation may seem a little slim to him.

Han Jian did give him a problem, but this problem didn't seem to be as difficult to cope as he imagined. It's just to calm down the situation, as long as Su Tingxia on the front line doesn't continue to disturb the people, the matter will gradually be forgotten after all. But since Han Jian said it, the meaning is somewhat obvious, that is, although Su Tingxia's actions were not instructed by the imperial court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion, it was also acquiesced by the Eastern Prince's Mansion. There is one and another such thing. In other words, Su Tingxia will still loot the place in the future, causing great unrest to the local area.

Once that happens, it will be difficult to calm things down.

Seeing that Ning Yuan didn't speak, Han Jian smiled and said, "If Ning Shangshu feels embarrassed, this king can find someone else." ”

Ning Yuan sighed: "Back to Your Highness, it's not that the old minister doesn't want to help His Majesty and His Highness share his worries, it's just that this matter is ...... It's a matter of weight. What Su Shen did was really not tolerated by the world. Even if the old minister has the heart to excuse him, I'm afraid it ......"

"Then if General Su will make military merits in the future. What about quelling the trouble of Beichuan? Han Jian asked with a smile.

Ning Yuan was stunned, but he didn't expect Han Jian to think things so well. But he also nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's naturally a different matter." ”

Han Jian said: "That king will leave his words here today, if General Su can't make any gains in sending troops this time, then there is no need for others to say irresponsible things, and this king will be the first to spare him." But this king can't make a move now, messing up the morale of the army. If General Su can really make a great contribution and come back, I am afraid that he can also make a difference. Does Ning Shangshu think so? ”

Ning Yuan knew that Han Jian was making a statement, that is, he must not interfere with Su Tingxia's war mode of raising war by war. Instead, let him persuade those people in the officialdom of Luoyang City to accept this model.

"What the King of the East said is very true."

"Exactly?" Han Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "It's a blessing not to be poked in the back." This king is also a general of the Soviet Union appointed under a lot of pressure. Now that the imperial court can't make ends meet, and even the soldiers and horses stationed in Jiangdu can't afford to support another war? In fact, in his heart, this king also wants peace in the world as soon as possible, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Ning Yuan heard Han Jian say this, and he also knew that Han Jian was just pretending to sigh. For a "hero" like Han Jian, in fact, achieving the goal is the most important thing. Now what the East Wangfu needs is the support of public opinion, but now the public opinion is on the side of the crusade against the East Palace, and Han Jian needs him to come out to save public opinion. And he promised a good reward, that is, let him lead the Shangshutai and replace Lin Ke as the first and auxiliary minister of the imperial court.

"The old minister knows what to do." Ning Yuan said, "Your Royal Highness the King of the East, please rest assured, the old minister should share his worries with His Highness and try his best to resolve the situation in front of him." But...... The old minister is now idle, and he really can't do it......"

Han Jian smiled, he understood that Ning Yuan was also an old fox, and some empty promises obviously couldn't get Ning Yuan to work for him. Ning Yuan wanted to ask for some benefits in advance.

Han Jian said with a smile: "This king thinks that some officials in the court are really unorthodox, and they originally wanted to rectify them after the world is calm, but now it seems that it is urgent to rectify the officialdom." This king will write a recital tonight, and it will be sent to His Majesty tomorrow, and ask Ning Shangshu to take over the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, I don't know what Ning Shangshu thinks? ”

Ning Yuan's current identity is the Ministry of Rites, but he knows how nominal this Ministry of Rites is, but it is the Ministry of Officials, and now it is the most important yamen of the imperial court. Today's official Shangshu Huaiqi is Lin Ke's person, but Lin Ke is the servant of the ministry. If he can take over as the secretary of the ministry, he will first be superior to Lin Ke in terms of official position, and more importantly, he can install some people from the old factions of the court into the court, so that he can cultivate his own power. It's a lot to kill.

"So...... I'm afraid the old minister can't afford it. Ning Yuan was extremely happy in his heart, but his face could not show it, but showed the meaning of resignation.

Han Jian said with a smile: "Now that the Shangting Office has existed in name only, and the supervision of the court officials also depends on the Ministry of Officials, who else is there in Shening Shangshu who has such prestige and ability in Luoyang City?" Ning Shangshu must not refuse, this king expects that His Majesty is also extremely sure of Ning Shangshu's ability, otherwise he will not let Ning Shangshu come out to help today, right? ”

Ning Yuan smiled awkwardly, yes.

Han Jian said again: "But this king has a word first, Ning Shangshu has to make some achievements in the ministry, otherwise it is His Majesty's side, and this king is not easy to explain, after all, Ning Shangshu is also a person recommended by this king, and His Majesty is ...... After all, there are still some estrangements, as for the reason, I'm afraid I don't need to be reminded by this king, right? ”

Ning Yuan smiled bitterly, if this is still a reminder, he doesn't have to mix in the imperial court. Everyone knows that he made great contributions to Yang Yu's ascension to the throne, and some people from the old factions in the imperial court saw this, so they would use him as the initiator to protect their respective families. Now that he has become Yang Rui's rebel minister, even if he "wakes up" now, he will not be reused.

Han Jian said: "Okay, after the business is over, Ning Shangshu doesn't need to be so restrained." The affairs of the imperial court, after all, must be approved by His Majesty, and the appointment of the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu is related to the stability of the court, although the king is the supervisor of His Majesty's order, but he cannot be appointed without authorization. Ning Shangshu waited for news first. ”

Ning Yuan knew that Han Jian was just a rhetoric, who didn't know that the Dongwang Mansion was now using it to contain the imperial court? Now that Han Jian is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he wants to recommend a secretary to the ministry, will Yang Rui still push it? This matter is basically settled.

Han Jian and Ning Yuan chatted for a while, and then they intended to leave, Ning Yuan saw that it was not early, so he hurriedly went in and invited Ning Xiuyan to come out.

When Ning Xiuyan arrived in the main hall, there were still tears in her eyes, obviously she had just seen her mother and daughter reunite and said a lot of words, and she couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

"Xiuyan, are you okay?" Han Jian asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Ning Xiuyan was still a little unable to wipe her face in front of her father, but her face turned red and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes a little.

"Then Ning Shangshu, this king will not bother, so he will go back with Xiuyan first." Han Jian saluted and said with a smile.

"Congratulations to the East King."

Ning Yuan personally sent Han Jian out of the house, so it was not grand. When Han Jian came out, a lot of people gathered at the gate of the entire Ning Mansion, Han Jian came over this time in a big battle, and many people were also speculating, and now is the time when the Ning Mansion is unlucky, who will come to the Ning Mansion with such fanfare, and when he sees the East King coming out of the mansion, it is still quite staggering. Of course, some people with ulterior motives also understand that this is clearly that Ning Yuan is going to be reused by the East Palace, which means that the Ning family may rise soon.

Waiting for Ning Xiuyan to get on the sedan chair, Han Jian got on the horse again and accompanied the sedan chair back to Ning Xiuyan's small courtyard. Entering the door together, Ning Xiuyan kept her head down, as if she had something on her mind, Han Jian didn't ask much, and when she arrived in the room, she couldn't help but take her into his arms, and asked softly: "Xiuyan has a lot of worries when she goes back this time, but what is on her mind that can't be solved?" ”

Ning Xiuyan looked at Han Jian, his eyes were clear, but he seemed to be a little grateful: "Xiuyan thanked the master." ”

"What is there to thank, that's your mother's house, go back with you and see what's there? But embroidered you, but you went back and saw your mother? Han Jian asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Ning Xiuyan nodded with some sadness.

"I'll be happier when I've seen it, and I'll go back to your house more often in the future, and I don't want you to be unhappy all day." Han Jian said with a smile.

After talking to Ning Xiuyan for a while, Han Jian went back to the house, and now that Yang Rui has just come back, he has made such a fuss, he knows that whether it is in the Dongwang Mansion or Yang Rui, he must explain Ning Xiuyan's problem clearly.

Sure enough, as soon as he returned home, Han Cui's momentum blocked him at the door of the main hall. When Han Cuishi saw Han Jian, he scolded angrily: "Come in." ”

Han Jian honestly entered the hall, and as soon as he entered the door, Han Cui's family said angrily: "What do you mean by taking the little girl of the Ning family to Ning Mansion today?" But say, the wife and children in the family, are you ready to ignore it?
