Chapter 826: The Way of a Servant (Part II)

Han Jian still cherishes the women around him, but his character will not be reflected in Mrs. Luo, who has always been a chess piece in his mind, and can give it up.

At this time, the value that Mrs. Luo can use is not much, she is no longer a rich man in the world, and she can no longer call on the people of the old department of Xiliang to be used by the imperial court, Han Jian could have abandoned it as if it were a shoe, but if so, it would be equivalent to hurting the hearts of those who do things for him, especially Da Xiliu. Although Da Nishiliu doesn't even show mother-daughter affection to Mrs. Luo at the moment, after all, Da Nishiliu can see his own shadow from Mrs. Luo, and Han Jian must treat Mrs. Luo well if he wants to rein in Da Nishiliu.

"Madame should tidy up her clothes and talk to me again." Han Jian noticed that Mrs. Luo was still trembling, so he said coldly.

Mrs. Lowe could not go outside to pick up her clothes in the cold wind, so she had to retire first, and go inside to arrange her clothes before coming out. When she came out again, her face was a little more bloody, because the room was very warm, and her body quickly eased.

"I wonder what else Your Majesty commands?" Lady Luo asked.

Han Jian nodded, and then explained the main intention of the reason, he wanted Mrs. Luo to take a group of people to leave Jinling in the name of doing business, and spy on the intelligence of the officials of the Southern Dynasty for him.

Mrs. Luo was obviously stunned when she first heard such a request, she felt that Han Jian had the intention of sending her away to exile her from now on, but after thinking about it, she was also alone in Luoyang City now, staying and waiting for the unreachable King Xiliang, it was better to go away and live a life of seclusion.

How could Han Jian not take this layer into account. Han Jian knows very well what Mrs. Luo is, this woman is very ambitious, and she will do whatever it takes to get power, even if she is given the opportunity to go to the Southern Dynasty to avoid the eyeliner and live a life without fighting with the world, she will not be willing to just leave.

"If the lady is unwilling to go, then the king will arrange someone else." Han Jian said.

Mrs. Luo hurriedly said: "The concubine can do things for His Majesty. How dare you push? It's just that...... There are very few people around the concubines, and if they go south alone, I'm afraid they will ......."

Han Jian smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, Madame, I will give you enough manpower, money, and goods, and there will be someone to pick you up after you arrive in the Southern Dynasty, among the officials of the Southern Dynasty." There are a lot of eyeliners that are my dynasty, and you can use their relationship to have contact with people in the officialdom of the Southern Dynasty, but there are some things that you have to do in moderation, and if your identity is exposed, you may ...... Life is not in danger. ”

Mrs. Luo's face was a little more restrained, she had already expected this when she heard Han Jian's request, and she was not afraid of death. It's just that I'm afraid of death and don't know how to die. Now, she was more concerned about what she would get when it was done, and whether she would still get an indefinite title as before, so that she would still be a loner as she was now.

Han Jian immediately said: "Madame is going to be dangerous, but I will send someone to protect Madame's safety, and I will not hide it from Madame, I have the intention of using troops against the Southern Dynasty." It can be as short as one and a half years, and as long as two or three years. I am ready to dominate the rivers and mountains, and when the time comes, I will be rewarded for my merits, and my wife will be the rightful king of Xiliang. I will give you an edict as a promise to Madame, and I will deliver it to Madame before she leaves. ”

Mrs. Love's mind was a little more settled. Since there is Han Jian's promise and the "edict" that named her the king of Xiliang, then she has a lot of motivation for this trip, at least there is hope, as long as Han Jian can pacify the Southern Dynasty. Then she can be canonized as the king of Xiliang as a hero, which is much more meaningful than Han Jian conferred her as the minister of Xiliang before, the minister of Xiliang is only a courtier of Xiliang after all, but the king of Xiliang is a vassal king, guarding one place, supporting troops and power.

Mrs. Luo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The concubine thanked Your Majesty." ”

Han Jian stepped forward, helped Mrs. Luo up, lifted her chin with his hand, and let her face him.

"Whatever Madame says, I will never treat people who do things seriously badly, not to mention that Madame is still my confidante." Han Jian said with a smile.

Mrs. Luo's face was a little ashamed, she was not a young man after all, how could she be Han Jian's confidante? It's just that she also knows that she has to rely on her charm and appearance to win Han Jian's trust in her, and as for some grievances and helplessness in her heart, she can only hide them from Han Jian.

"It's still early, I'm not in a hurry to go back to the palace, why don't you go inside and discuss it with Madame in detail?"

Mrs. Luo lowered her head, she knew that Han Jian didn't let her in to discuss things, but how could she dare to refuse in the face of Han Jian's request? If it was a blasphemy against her that Han Jian was outside before, then the request made by Han Jian now is to let her take the initiative to show the gentleness and meticulousness of a woman, more like a concubine who knows how to care, rather than a woman from a good family who has been occupied.

Mrs. Luo's face was slightly timid, and she said, "The concubine takes the order." ”

Han Jian smiled and nodded, and went inside with Mrs. Luo, but he didn't enter the bedroom, but only went to the simple study next to it, because the room was much warmer than the outside, and Han Jian was not too anxious in his heart, so he enjoyed his privileges as the emperor. It is indescribable to make Mrs. Love, who once tried all kinds of tricks in her heart and refused to sincerely belong to him, do everything she can to please him like now.

After more than an hour, Han Jian came out of the courtyard, and Da Xiliu also waited in the cold wind for more than an hour.

Han Jian was in good spirits after he came out, and he gave a few instructions to Da Nishiliu, and asked Da Nishiliu to arrange manpower and resources for Mrs. Luo, so that she could lead people to the south. Han Jian now wants to disintegrate not the military resistance of the Southern Dynasties, but the resistance of the officials of the Southern Dynasties, with the current number of soldiers and horses of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the combat effectiveness, it is not too difficult for the Northern Dynasties to unify the Southern Dynasties, but the key lies in how to govern after the pacification, and only by completing the smooth transition of the Southern Dynasties officialdom can the Southern Dynasties be truly pacified.

Han Jian left the small courtyard and did not hurry back to the palace, but first went to see Li Yun, the princess of Xiliang.

Han Jian gave Mrs. Luo the right to go south to spy on intelligence, naturally she would not let Mrs. Luo do something casually and come back to ask for credit, as in the past, the biggest constraint on Mrs. Luo is Li Yun, as long as Han Jian gives Li Yun the same conditions and tasks, the two will form a competition, then everyone must work hard to get the reward and canonization they deserve.

This time, Han Jian didn't bring Onishiyanagi. Because Han Jian knew that the relationship between Da Xiliu and Mrs. Luo was inextricably linked, if Da Xiliu was used to arrange Li Yunnan's affairs, there would inevitably be some obstacles.

Li Yun's situation in Luoyang is obviously better than that of Mrs. Luo, after all, Li Yun has a group of retainers who work for her, and these people don't have much left after a few years of traveling, but they all take her as the head of the horse. In Luoyang, Li Yun doesn't need the Dongwang Mansion or the imperial court to provide a residence, and her degree of freedom is much higher than that of Mrs. Luo, so it can be said that she can leave if she wants, of course, she doesn't get the power she wants now, and she won't leave if she is allowed to go.

Knowing that Han Jian had arrived in person, Li Yun greeted Mrs. Luo out of the door, and bowed down from afar, just like Mrs. Luo. The place where she lives is not very conspicuous, and in order to avoid suspicion, there is not even anyone left around her to protect her, not even the person who brings tea and water, but one person comes out to greet her.

Han Jian didn't say anything in front of her, just lightly pressed his hand on her head, and with a sweep, Li Yun stood up. This is also the etiquette of the Xiliang Dynasty, which is a way for people of high status to express courtesy to those who are vassals.

Li Yun stood up and followed Han Jian inside. Although Li Yun seemed very low-key after returning to Luoyang, after all, she had manpower, and she was not very lacking in money and materials, so the living conditions were naturally much better than that of Mrs. Luo.

When he went to the house, the furnishings inside were the same as the layout of the houses in the Central Plains, and Li Yun was a native of Xiliang. did not bring the habits of the Xiliang people over, mainly related to the fact that she was basically exiled in various parts of the Wei Dynasty after she was born.

Han Jian sat down on the main seat, and Li Yun personally served the tea, which was still hot.

Han Jian put down the teacup directly, and Li Yun remembered that Han Jian would not drink tea outside easily. This is also Han Jian's cautious habit.

"Is there someone waiting for the princess?" Han Jian suddenly asked.

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the reason why Han Jian asked this question was because of the tea. She replied honestly: "My subordinates live here alone, and someone will come on weekdays, but the food and daily life are all cooked by my subordinates, and the tea is also prepared by my subordinates on weekdays." ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, and when Mrs. Luo returned to Luoyang, she was placed in a living and diet, which was equivalent to pampering. Li Yun has a lot of people around him, but he does everything himself, which is related to the past experience of the two, Mrs. Luo has lived like a big lady since she came to Luoyang to join her father in her teens, and she doesn't have to do things at all with her net worth, and although Li Yun is young, she has been displaced since birth, and many things have to be done by herself.

"I came today to explain something to you." Han Jian didn't beat around the bush, he could still be a little gentle with Mrs. Luo, but he didn't have much interest in the old royal family of Xiliang like Li Yun.

How to say that Mrs. Luo is the blood of the Central Plains, and Li Yun is a native of Xiliang, Mrs. Luo's pursuit of power is to achieve her personal ambitions, Li Yun is to restore the Xiliang Kingdom, even if Han Jian has disdain for Mrs. Luo, he also treats Mrs. Luo as "his own person", and when Li Yun is a jackal who temporarily defects to him. Han Jian can still tell which is more important, which is why Li Yun seduced him with beauty and didn't pay attention to it, even if Mrs. Luo didn't take the initiative, she would be occupied by him.

"Your Majesty, please advise." Li Yun knelt on one knee and made a gesture of leadership.

Han Jian roughly repeated what he said to Mrs. Luo, but made a few changes to some details. Han Jian promised Mrs. Luo the edict of King Xiliang, but did not make such a promise to Li Yun, but in order to let Li Yun do his best for him, he first promised to restore the edict of Princess Xiliang of Li Yun, so that Li Yun could come out and do things in the name of Xiliang orthodoxy.

Li Yun's face showed joy when she heard this, what she was asking for now was not the King of Xiliang, it was mainly her identity. Her original identity was said to be the princess of Xiliang, but because the Xiliang Kingdom had perished when she was born, her identity was not recognized at all.

"Subordinates receive orders." Li Yun can also show the joy in his heart when he speaks.

Han Jian showed a slight sneer on his face, Han Jian has always been very cautious about Li Yun's use, because this woman is too dangerous, this woman once defected to the sworn enemy Xiwangfu, but she didn't get much help from the Xiwangfu before she defected to him through Mrs. Luo's relationship, this kind of person can be said to have no principles for the sake of power, when she took the initiative to offer beautiful women, plus her own beauty to attract herself, Han Jian already knew it clearly.

Now Han Jian is still using Li Yun's main purpose to contain Mrs. Luo, but for him, Xiliang's move has reached the stage of the beginning and the end, so he can ignore it for the time being, and at the same time send the two of them to the Southern Dynasty, which is also to dry this game of chess first, and then carefully place the beginning and end of this game of chess when he has the opportunity in the future.

"How many more men does the princess need?" Han Jian said, "If you need it, tell me about it, and I will send it to go south with you." ”

Li Yun almost blurted out, but obviously immediately worried, closed his open mouth, and finally lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need your majesty to send people again, your subordinates have enough manpower." ”

Han Jian knew that Li Yun had few people left, and the reason why she refused to ask for a helper was because she didn't want to be shared, and secondly, and most importantly, she didn't want to be monitored, which was to facilitate her to do things with some special means.

Han Jian said: "Even if you don't need the princess, I will send some people to escort the princess south, and after arriving in the Southern Dynasty, everything the princess does must be under my control, otherwise, ...... Isn't the princess a wild horse, wild and untamable? ”

Li Yun was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly saluted: "The subordinates have no rebellious intentions, and please ask Your Majesty to be aware of it." The subordinate is not a wild horse, but a foal raised by His Majesty, and in the future, he will work for His Majesty to saddle the horse before and after the horse. ”

Han Jian sneered: "Needless to say, I want to see what you do." I might as well tell you that I also sent Lady Luo to her, and I gave her a lot of manpower, and it is still the same as before, and any of you who does well can be rewarded, and if you still have nothing to achieve in the war against the Xianbei barbarians, then you don't have to come back to see me. Some things have to be fought for by yourself, don't always think that I will give them for no reason, this is the way of heaven, princess, you should also know very well. ”

"Yes." Li Yun was already sweating on his head.

Han Jian got up to leave, and Li Yun knelt down. When Han Jian arrived at the door, he suddenly turned sideways and glanced at Li Yun, and said, "I will leave in two days, you can prepare first, and when you leave, I will announce your identity as Princess Xiliang to the world, so that you can go with peace of mind." ”

Li Yun immediately thanked her, but after carefully pondering Han Jian's words, she seemed to be going to die and would never return. (To be continued......)
