When Han Jian heard Yang Rui's words, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully, while Yang Rui looked at Han Jian and then at Ning Yuan, his eyes seemed to say, you are in a group today.

"I don't know what His Majesty commands?" Han Jian saw that Yang Rui's expression was still not very good, so he asked.

Yang Rui said: "King Dong, didn't you say before that those who belong to the thieves and rebels should be severely punished if they don't think about the emperor's grace?" Now that I'm back in Luoyang, it's time to do the math, what do you think now? ”

Han Jian was silent for a moment. Before, he said the reason why he wanted to help Ning Yuan say something, and in general, it was for Luoyang to stabilize dìng. Judging from Yang Rui's previous attitude, Yang Rui seems to have accepted his words. Why is it that now how can he be "coerced" to make a statement?

said that it was coercion, because Yang Rui first stated a position, and also took the opportunity to say his position, first preset the tone and then let him say it, as if let Jean echo it, just need to agree with Yang Rui's statement.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the long-term peace and stability of Luoyang, the matter of vassal thieves and rebellion is not considered at present." Han Jian saluted.

Han Jian said this, and many people present breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, Yang Rui said this, thinking that Han Jian would maintain the same tone as Yang Rui, and make a big fuss about the problem of investigation, but now as long as Han Jian, who is the king of the East, does not speak, no one will say anything for several families in Luoyang.

"Oh?" Yang Rui's face turned obviously cold, and he said, "King Dong, why did you change your mind, but there are other factors?" ”

Saying that, Yang Rui also glanced at Ning Yuan, as if exposing Han Jian and Ning Yuan's political affairs.

Han Jian remained silent and said, "There are no other factors for the minister. It's just that Luoyang is stable dìng as a consideration. At this time, His Majesty is returning to the dynasty, and the people's hearts are in turmoil, so it is not appropriate to make a big move! ”

"Smack!" Yang Rui suddenly slapped the table, startling the people present.

Yang Rui's face was angry, and the people present could see it very clearly, because Han Jian was blatantly contradicting her. That is to say, Yang Rui, as the empress, has a dispute with Han Jian, who is the king of the East. When others quarrel, it doesn't matter to these courtiers, and it has nothing to do with them anyway. But now the East Palaces are different from the past. Now nominally. It was the empress who returned to the dynasty, but in fact, it was the East Wangfu who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the Luoyang occupied by the East Wangfu.

Administratively speaking, today's Luoyang is also a military commander. Military-oriented. As for the administration. A qiē is subordinate to the military. In other words, the Eastern Prince's Mansion was the dominant one in Luoyang City, and the empress was only the nominal lord of the Wei Dynasty. This is where the problem arises. The empress and the king of the east are in harmony, needless to say, how to decide, but once there is a dispute, whether to listen to the king of the east or to listen to Yang Rui, one of the two sides must compromise. But this also means that Luoyang City will be unstable.

"King Dong, I think that overcorrection is the fundamental. If we don't pursue the rebellion, and if there is such a situation in the future, no one in the world will think about the emperor's grace, and even ignore the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, how can I govern the people? After a long time, Yang Rui seemed to calm down his anger a little, and then asked a little calmly.

Although there were many people in the entire Ye'an Pavilion, it was still quiet, no one spoke, and they didn't dare to speak, waiting for Han Jian to talk back.

After a while, Han Jian said: "Then Your Majesty thinks, how to overkill?" ”

Yang Rui said: "Even if you can't care about everything, you can't ignore it." You can't care about everyone, and you can't ignore everyone......"

When Yang Rui said this, it basically coincided with the conjectures of some ministers, that is, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. For those who are very close to Yang Yu's party, they must be held accountable, and they may be exterminated, but they will not be killed to the end, there will always be some people who were still acquaintances at the beginning, who were Zhishi at the time, or courtiers who were not very close to Yang Yu, so they didn't care about it or symbolically punished it.

But no one knows how far they will go. In the end, how to calculate it is very close to Yang Yu, and a consideration standard is also needed, but there is no such consideration standard as a reference now.

But in any case, Ning Yuan made a "great contribution" to Yang Yu's ascension to the throne, and it seems that he must be the kind of person who has to care, so at this time, some people led by Ning Yuan are still extremely nervous.

Han Jian was also silent for a moment before he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you care, then everyone cares, if you don't care, you should treat everyone equally, and you shouldn't be narrow-minded." ”

Yang Rui smiled coldly and said, "What does the king of the east mean, is he not careful?" ”

Han Jian thought for a moment and finally nodded.

"Smack!" Yang Rui knocked over the inkstone next to him, stood up directly, and brushed his sleeves away.

When he arrived at the door of Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Ruicai dropped a sentence in a cold voice: "This matter is under discussion later!" ”

After that, Yang Ruitou didn't look back and left, and when the people walked away, the officials in the entire Ye'an Pavilion still didn't breathe a sigh of relief. Because it's only an intermission now, maybe after a while, Yang Rui will issue an order to punish those "thieves" who have attached themselves to Yang Yu. At that time, Luoyang City will be a bloody storm.

"King Nan, Your Majesty has gone back, it seems that we are going to leave the palace first." The empress left, and Han Jian seemed to have a relaxed face and said to Yang Luochuan, who had been sitting very leisurely on the side.

Yang Luochuan smiled and got up, the matter of liquidation had nothing to do with him. This time, he is considered to be the king of Qin, plus he still has a large number of soldiers and horses outside the city, no matter what Yang Rui says, he will not be counted on his head, and Han Jian will not do such a stupid thing.

"Virtuous son-in-law, if you have time to go to the Nanwang Mansion with the princess, this king will entertain you at any time." Yang Luochuan said with a smile, and his voice was not small, as if he was showing his relationship with Dongwangfu to the officials on the spot.

Han Jian brought Yang Li'er, who used to be the second lady of Nanwangfu and is now the princess of the East, to Luoyang, which is also a well-known thing, and the day before Han Jian and Yang Li'er attended the dinner of the empress's return to the dynasty together, and the officials present basically saw it.

"What King Nan said is that if you have time, you must come over to visit." Han Jian smiled and walked out of Ye'an Pavilion with Yang Luochuan one after the other.

At this time, other officials came out tremblingly, and many people were still worried about the future fate of their family.

And those who were waiting outside, but had not had time to be summoned by the empress, obviously did not know what was going on inside. So much so that the empress would go away in anger. When they saw the king of the east and the king of the south, as well as the court officials inside, they all wanted to come forward and ask what was going on, but no one dared to make a mistake in front of the king of the east and the king.

"His Royal Highness the East King, the old minister has something to discuss with you." Seeing that Han Jian was about to accompany Yang Luochuan out of the palace together, Ning Yuan on the side was a little anxious, so he had to say something stubbornly.

Yang Luochuan glanced at Han Jian and said with a smile: "Since the virtuous son-in-law has something to do, then the king will leave the palace first." If you have time, you must bring the princess over. ”

"Okay." Han Jian smiled and nodded. Congratulations to Yang Luochuan leaving.

Wait for Yang Luochuan to leave. Han Jian retracted his gaze, and the smile on his face faded, and at this time, Ning Yuan stood aside, and his attitude was no longer as arrogant as before. It's a little anxious to stand there. Keeping your head down is like thinking about something.

"Ning Shangshu. You can also see His Majesty's attitude, it's not that this king doesn't want to help, it's really difficult to help sometimes. Han Jian said with a grimace.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East. I don't know if we can go out of the palace together to talk? Ning Yuan's old face also pulled down, and said a little disregardful.

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, "Say as you walk." ”

Ning Yuan and Han Jian walked together, and it was obvious that some people were following from afar, as if they were waiting for the result of Ning Yuan's conversation with Han Jian.

Ning Yuan said: "Your Highness's willingness to speak for these families in Luoyang is really commendable. The old minister also knows that for more than a year, His Majesty has been displaced and suffered, which is really due to our lack of support. His Majesty wanted to pursue us, and he shouldn't have argued strongly, but he could ...... After all, we are also forced by the form, if it is not the puppet emperor who ascends the throne, if we do not support it, it will also be the end of today, it is really ...... It's hard to ride a tiger. ”

Han Jian nodded, this kind of thing, Ning Yuan was also making excuses for himself, as if he had to do it. But everyone knows that if you really don't want to support Yang Yu, it's not that there is no way, some gate valve families haven't moved to Jiangdu with their families? At that time, Yang Yu did not do too much to obstruct it, but let it go, mainly because Yang Yu did not want to cause some unnecessary trouble. Those who do not belong to him simply leave it alone and let them stay.

In Han Jian's opinion, the reason why Ning Yuan chose to help Yang Yu in the first place was that he felt that Yang Yu's ascension to the throne was logical, and it was even more justifiable than Yang Rui. That's why I helped Yang Yu to make suggestions, but I didn't know that the environment for Yang Yu to ascend the throne was really bad, and then the battle of Jiangdu was defeated, so that Yang Yu's foundation was completely destroyed, and then encountered the chaos of the party, and the whole Luoyang was not considered the imperial capital, Yang Yu fled north in a hurry, and was already doomed from the defeat in the battle of Jiangdu.

Ning Yuan continued: "If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, it's better to ...... When I went to the house, some people from the family wanted to make friends with the East King, so it was better to ......"

"This king doesn't have much time today." Han Jian's tone also became stiff, and he said, "Now in the land of Luoyang, there is still a war that has not subsided, and this king wants to go back to arrange arrangements, so he will not go to the house to bother." Ning Shangshu, farewell. ”

Seeing the palace gate, Han Jian put down a sentence and went straight to the palace gate.

The sudden change in Han Jian's attitude surprised Ning Yuan. I was at a loss for a while, but I couldn't leave Han Jian behind.

Han Jian walked out of the palace gate, got on the horse directly, and returned to the Dongwang Mansion with his entourage. Han Jian naturally didn't go to a military meeting, the reason why he said this to Ning Yuan was also to show an attitude, I don't have to help you.

Han Jian returned to the Dongwangfu Courtyard and went directly into the inner courtyard. At this time, Yang Li'er had already woken up, dressed in ordinary clothes, washing clothes herself, in addition to her own, there was also Han Jian's. There are a lot of clothes that are inconvenient to wash in the army, including her dirty clothes, and now that she has returned to her own place in Dongwangfu, she also feels like she is home, plus Han Jian comforts his wife, which makes her feel very good and drying her clothes.

"Xianggong is back?" Seeing Han Jian, Yang Li'er stepped forward with a smile, and saluted with a little shyness, so she was not shy.

"Qian'er, this kind of thing, let the maid do it, why do everything yourself?" Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Li'er said with a smile: "Xianggong also knows the temperament of the concubine, and there are some things that I still don't want to fake to others, let alone such a trivial matter as washing clothes." It's better not to be in the barracks, no matter what you do, no one will disturb you. ”

Han Jian knew that although Yang Li'er was very resolute in character, she was a little autistic, which may be related to the fact that she was born in a wealthy family like Nanwangfu. Her own independent personality, coupled with her incompatibility with the people around her, makes her want to frame herself in a small space and live her own life. It wasn't until he appeared and broke the defense line in Yang Li'er's heart that Yang Li'er shared this space with him.

Han Jian smiled and didn't speak. stepped forward to help Yang Li'er dry her clothes together.

Yang Li'er did not shirk it, because she also knew that Han Jian had an easy-going personality, had a great tolerance in her heart, and was never restrained about some small things, which was also what she first admired about Han Jian.

"Xianggong still wants to go to the palace tonight?" Yang Li'er blinked suddenly, looked at Han Jian a little playfully, and asked.

Han Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Qi'er, what you said, I'll help you hang up your clothes." Do you think that you can't be a thief for your husband? ”

"Hmph. Xianggong is not a thief, why did he come back early to accompany Li'er, but he felt that Li'er couldn't think about it, so he would eat it...... Vinegar of the Majesty? ”

Han Jian stopped what he was doing. I thought about it. Didn't speak.

His relationship with the Empress. In the end, it's a secret, even if it is discovered by his wife, he still won't say it. This can be regarded as an explanation to Yang Rui.

In fact, Yang Rui also found that Yang Li'er was aware of her and Han Jian's affairs. Yang Rui also wanted to avoid being jealous of Yang Li'er's friendship, and once took the initiative to show favor to Yang Ci'er, but in fact, the reason is the same, they all want to have a harmonious family.

Just when Han Jian didn't know how to answer, at this time, a messenger maid arrived, which made Han Jian "break the siege".

"Young boy, there are people outside the Dongwang Mansion who ask to see you."

"Oh? Who? Han Jian asked with a very solemn appearance.

In fact, Han Jian didn't need to ask, and he knew that it was probably those people from Ning Yuan who came to him to talk about the item, or the person who said the item on behalf of those people in Ning Yuan.

"The slave doesn't recognize it, it's a prayer." As she spoke, the maidservant handed over the prayer slip.

Han Jian waved his hand, the maid hurriedly retreated, Han Jian looked at it, it was Ning Yuan himself.

Yang Li'er was drying clothes, but when she saw Han Jian holding a greeting note in her hand, she leaned over to take a look and said, "Don't say it, I thought it was Xianggong, you asked this little girl to come over and stir it up." ”

Han Jian coughed and said, "What are you talking about, for your husband, you have something important to discuss, military affairs are always more important than children's love, right?" ”

"In Xianggong's heart, do you really think so?" Yang Li'er squinted her eyes and said in disbelief.

Han Jian also smiled, suddenly stepped forward, sneak attacked and kissed Yang Li'er on the cheek, Yang Li'er looked shy, and when Yang Li'er was a little overwhelmed, Han Jian left with a smile. Yang Li'er snorted lightly again and clenched her fists, as if to say, come back and teach you a lesson.

When Han Jian walked out of the inner courtyard, the smile on his face was about to be retracted, and his happy appearance with his wife could not be seen by those who had something to ask for, and he still had to maintain his prestige as the king of the east.

When he arrived at the main hall of the East Palace, Han Jian ordered someone to go out and bring Ning Yuan in, but he saw that Ning Yuan was alone, and his expression was a little obscene, and he looked around, as if he was looking to see if he had come one step ahead.

"Ning Shangshu, this is ......" Han Jian looked at Ning Yuan standing in front of the door with a cold face.

"The old minister came today to invite the East King to come over to the mansion." Ning Yuan saluted.

Han Jian said coldly: "Didn't this king say before, there are still important things today, so you can't go to the mansion to disturb them." ”

"Then the king of the east doesn't know if he can go out of the house with the old minister?"

"Oh?" Han Jian glanced at Ning Yuan, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Ning Yuan's gourd.

Han Jian got up from the chair and walked out of the main gate of the East Palace, under Ning Yuan's guidance. But in front of the East Palace, in addition to the sedan chair that Ning Yuan came over, there was also a small sedan chair, which at first glance was the kind that the woman was riding.

"King Dong, please do this."

Saying that, Ning Yuan led the way and let Han Jian go to the sedan chair, and Ning Yuan made a gesture of invitation to Han Jian, meaning to let Han Jian open the sedan door by himself.

At this time, the guards have already come, in order to prevent anyone from having any accidents to the East King, the guards of the East King's Mansion are also cautious, such a closed sedan chair, if the door is opened and an assassin comes out of it, it will be a threat to the safety of the East King.

Han Jian waved his hand, meaning that there was no need to worry too much. Han Jian expected that with Ning Yuan's current situation, he would definitely not dare to have any ill will towards him, everyone knew that no one could save the Ning family except him now.

The sedan door was not a wooden door, but a curtain, and Han Jian opened the curtain, only to see a timid woman sitting inside.

This woman, dressed in a women's sleeve skirt, was covered with fat and jade, and at the moment she saw the light, she was obviously a little evasive, and then lowered her head, looking a little afraid of life. Han Jian felt that he had never met, but at the moment when the woman lowered her head, she carefully distinguished, wasn't it the young lady of the Ning family who had gone to the Dongwang Mansion with Lin Ke to intercede before?

Miss Ning, who changed into women's clothes, lost the heroism of her previous men's clothes, but became more shy and charming, as if she also knew about the exchange between her father and Dongwang. Today, she is no longer just for intercession, but as a gift. She also seems to have such a "self-sacrificing" consciousness.

Han Jian immediately lowered the sedan curtain, looked at Ning Yuan and said, "What does Ning Shangshu mean by this?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of the East, didn't the old minister mention it to His Highness before, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to intercede for the Ning family and so many families in Luoyang, I dare not forget your great kindness and virtue King Dong. The little girl has long admired the majesty of the East King, and the little girl was from a humble background and did not dare to ask to enter the house. I just want to be able to be a cow and a horse by His Royal Highness the East King. Bring your little girl today. It is to send the little girl to the East King's Mansion to show sincerity. ”

Han Jian smiled in his heart, this is really here to "give gifts".

Please entrust you to do something, you can't do it without courtesy. In particular, it is a matter of life and death for a family. If a woman can exchange for the peace of a family. Then Miss Ning's "sacrifice" is worth it.

It would have been such a tempting gift. There was no reason for Han Jian not to accept it, but Ning Yuan was in too much of a hurry, which made Han Jian feel that this was Ning Yuan's end of the road. I don't care about any tactfulness anymore.

"Ning Shangshu, is this going to put this king in injustice?" Han Jian retorted with a smile on his face.

"Huh? His Royal Highness the East King, the old minister has no such intention...... The little girl has indeed admired His Royal Highness the East King for a long time...... "Ning Yuan, you are a little flustered, judging from what Han Jian said to him when he left the palace, Han Jian already deliberately did not want to come against the empress.

Now that the empress has just returned to the court, everyone can see that the Eastern Palace's attitude is in step with the imperial court. Han Jian came to oppose the empress at this time, and made the empress angry and left, and Ning Yuan felt that things were not good. It was he who felt that things could not be delayed any longer, so he sent his daughter directly to the Dongwangfu Courtyard.

Han Jian said with a smile: "This is my East Palace, Your Majesty will send someone to summon me at any time, so that Your Majesty's people can see this scene, and then spread it to Your Majesty's ears, do you think this king will still have the face to stand in the court in the future?" ”

Ning Yuan hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "It's all the old minister's carelessness, which makes His Royal Highness the East King embarrassed. The old minister will take the little girl back, and when His Royal Highness the East King wants it, just ......"

"Why don't you just go to your house and get it?" Han Jian said in a cold voice, "This king pleads with His Majesty for the Luoyang family, it is based on Luoyang's stability, who do you think this king is?" ”

"Yes, yes. Lao Chen...... The old minister ...... "Ning Yuan didn't know how to respond for a while, so he had to kneel on the ground and continue to confess.

At this time, the young lady of the Ning family in the sedan chair obviously heard the conversation between Han Jian and her father, at this time she had already come down from the sedan chair, and also knelt beside Ning Yuan, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "The king of the east is above, and the little woman asked her father to send the little girl over because she admired the king of the east, not that the father of the family intended to offend His Royal Highness the king of the east......"

Han Jian glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, and did not deny that Han Jian was moved by such a woman. A woman who is willing to sacrifice herself for the family can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and judging by her two words and deeds, she is not only talented and learned, but also able to experience big scenes. Such a woman is inherently valuable in this era, and if he is for the Ning family, there is no reason for such a woman to let go, and he deserves it.

This is different from his relationship with several wives, and even Yang Rui. Han Jian is to face his wife and Yang Rui with an emotional attitude, for this Miss Ning family, it is purely possession and conquest, Han Jian does not intend to treat this Miss Ning family with an attitude towards Yang Li'er and other daughters, in front of this woman, he never wants to damage his prestige.

"Get up." Han Jian said coldly.

"The little girl can't afford it, if the king of the east refuses to forgive her father's sins, the little girl will kneel here......" Miss Ning said resolutely.

This sentence sounds like it is for Han Jian to forgive Ning Yuan for the crime of offense before, but it can also be said to be Ning Yuan's sin of being a thief. You can say anything. If Han Jian said forgiveness, then Ning Yuan could even make a fuss about it later.

Han Jian said: "Your father's sin is too pampered with you. Talking to this king like this, but do you think that this king can't be cruel to women? ”

Hearing Han Jian's words, Miss Ning's body shook, and Ning Yuan on the side hurriedly pulled her daughter up and said, "Hurry up and accompany His Royal Highness the East King." ”

Ning Yuan obviously knew Han Jian's previous ruthless methods, and knew that Han Jian would do what he said, because he was afraid that Han Jian would really treat her daughter's crime together.

"Ning Shangshu, didn't you say that someone wanted to discuss things with this king, so he went to Qingxu Yashe in the afternoon, and this king met guests there. As for Ling Qianjin......" Han Jian looked at the young lady of the Ning family who was still standing on the side with her head down, stretched out his hand, and gently lifted her chin, "It's also a national color and heavenly fragrance, this gift, this king smiled and accepted it." (To be continued......)
