The air in the dungeon was humid and filled with a strange smell, and Han Jian felt a little depressed when he sat down. Han Jian pointed in the direction of the cell, which meant to open the prison door, and the guards who followed behind opened the prison door, but Yang Luochuan did not get up from the grass on the ground. His leg was injured in the process of escaping and being caught, and although he had been conditioned to a certain extent, his movement was already very inconvenient.

"His Majesty summons the King of the South and prepares for the King of the South."

Han Jian didn't say anything superfluous, this time he came to take Yang Luochuan out. The matter of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou has not been solved before, and Yang Luochuan must be hidden, and now that the problem is solved, it is reasonable to let Yang Luochuan go out to breathe the wind.

Han Jian left the dungeon, and when it was already completely dark outside, there were guards who gathered lanterns to light them. After that, Yang Luochuan sat on a door panel and was carried out by several guards. Han Jian pointed to the room next to him, meaning to clean up for Yang Luochuan before leaving.

It was half an hour to wait.

When everything was ready, Yang Luochuan was helped into the carriage and headed towards the palace under strict escort.

When he arrived at the palace, he was still supported by the guards, and went to Ye'an Pavilion with Han Jian. Yang Rui didn't know the specific whereabouts of Yang Luochuan before, but he learned from Han Jian that Yang Luochuan did not escape, and when he saw Yang Luochuan this time, Yang Rui just squinted and looked at it, as if he was surprised why Yang Luochuan became this scene.

"The old minister is unable to move, so he can't salute His Majesty." Yang Luochuan entered Ye'an Pavilion, and no one helped him, but he could only sit on the ground and say with a wry smile.

"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be polite." Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian, as if she was a little complaining, she thought that Yang Luochuan was tortured by Han Jian to this field. But in fact, Yang Luochuan's fate today was completely caused by himself, and the injuries he suffered were not caused by sharp weapons, but by falling off his horse when he fled in a hurry.

Han Jian said: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has been brought." I don't know if I need to speak alone? ”

"No need." Yang Rui said, "Since Uncle Huang is fine, I don't have to worry about it." Hurry up and find the imperial doctor to treat the emperor's injury, so as not to worsen the injury, and then send the emperor's uncle to a safe place to recuperate, so as not to disturb his injury again. ”

Yang Luochuan looked grateful. It was almost like crying: "Thank you for your Majesty's care for the old minister, the old minister has done his best to die, and he will never forget His Majesty's kindness." ”

said as if he really missed the emperor's grace, Han Jian and Yang Rui were very clear about the character of this old horseman, and they were clearly acting for people to see. Among the four kings of the southwest and north, it is he who is really courageous, knowledgeable and resourceful, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, coupled with the suppression of the East Palace, which is also the reason why Yang Luochuan has been depressed. There is no danger around the land of Yuzhou, which has also become the reason for the early decline of Yuzhou. But in itself, Yang Luochuan, the lord of Yuzhou, still has a good chance to get his hands on power, but unfortunately now that he is a prisoner, Han Jian will not let him have a chance to escape, and he has also changed from house arrest to imprisonment.

Han Jian ordered someone to come in and help Yang Luochuan leave, and Yang Luochuan would not be sent to the other courtyard of the Nanwang Mansion in the capital, but to go elsewhere. Wait for someone to go. Yang Rui sighed: "I didn't expect him to be like this." ”

"Rui'er, are you still worthy of feeling for him?" Han Jian squinted his eyes and said, "He has fallen to the realm of today. He is entirely to blame. ”

Yang Rui shook his head slightly and said: "But how can he say that he is also Li'er's father, you treat him like this, aren't you afraid that you will not be able to explain to Li'er when you go back?" ”

This time it was Han Jian's turn to sigh. Regarding Yang Luochuan, he didn't dare to say it to Yang Li'er. When Yang Luochuan fled, Yang Li'er was more anxious than anyone else, for a woman who married into the Dongwang Mansion. She has pinned her love on Han Jian wholeheartedly, saying that she is already the wife of the East Palace, but she still doesn't want there to be a gap between the South Mansion and the East Palace. After the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou entered Luoyang this time, Han Jian didn't even have time to go back to take a look, and it was difficult to hide this kind of thing from Yang Li'er. Yang Li'er will definitely be sad when she finds out, and if she tells her father about it now, I'm afraid Yang Li'er will feel even more embarrassed.

"Don't accompany the concubine in the palace, Sister Li'er can't see her husband, she must have something to worry about, so I'd better go back to accompany Sister Li'er earlier." Yang Rui seemed very generous, after all, she was now pregnant with Liujia and was physically inconvenient, although she was a newlywed, Yan'er was not so obsessed with Han Jian, so she had to persuade Han Jian to go home as soon as possible.

Han Jian originally wanted to have a good time with Yang Rui, but Yang Rui obviously couldn't resist it, so Han Jian had to stop leaving the palace earlier. When I returned to the Dongwang Mansion, I saw that the Dongwang Mansion was going in and out inside and outside, and some of the old ministers of the Dongwang Mansion faction who went to Luoyang with the army came to see Han Song's family, saying that they were reminiscing about the past, mainly asking about yesterday's events and future responses, and Han Song's family was equivalent to receiving these old courtiers for Han Jian.

"Jian'er, you came back just in time." Han Song's side did not have the help of Han Zhao and Han Cui's side, and he was a little tired, but when he saw Han Jian, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After a busy day, I want to call someone to inform you to come back, and I know that you are busy with military affairs." Has the things outside the city calmed down? ”

Han Jian nodded slightly.

Han Songshi said: "Jiangdu has allocated a batch of military supplies, which were originally intended to be sent to the west, but now that Luoyang has made such a fuss, first transfer this batch of military supplies to Luoyang for your use." There are also some old guys who ask you about the transfer of personnel, and Erniang also helps you deal with it. Do you see if it's appropriate? ”

Han Jian said: "Erniang can do whatever she wants." ”

"It seems to be very easy to say." Han Songshi was a little dissatisfied, "Such a big thing in the city yesterday, if it wasn't for the permission of the subordinates, I didn't know that the Yuzhou army had been killed in Luoyang City, and you still went to supervise the battle in person, did you think about the danger?" The battlefield is full of arrows, if there is a damage, who will take care of the foundation of Luoyang and Jiangdu? Do you still expect us orphans and widows to fail? ”

Han Jian smiled bitterly, yesterday's situation, he didn't go to guard the city gate to supervise the battle, I'm afraid that now the women in the courtyard have become widows. He is just doing his duty as the king of the east, of course, this kind of thing can't be said in front of Han Song, Han Songshi said that he actually cared about him, not complained.

Han Jian comforted him, and Han Song's face improved a little, and said, "You can go and see more over there." The news had come back in the morning, and she also knew the whole story, and then she went back to the room alone, Erniang was afraid that she would not be able to think about anything, so she kept looking for someone to take care of her. ”

Without saying anything, Han Jian came out of the main courtyard. Go directly to the direction of Yang Li'er's small courtyard. Inside, Yang Li'er wiped her tears while taking care of the child, and when she saw that there was nothing else in Han Jian's eyes, she came over directly and threw herself into Han Jian's arms and whimpered.

Han Jian sat in front of the bed with Yang Li'er's body in his arms, and waited for a long time, but Yang Li'er finally got better. But by this time, my eyes were already swollen from crying.

"Don't be sad, there are some things that have nothing to do with you. You don't have to blame yourself. Only then did Han Jian speak comfortingly.

Yang Li'er's lips were confined, but she moved twice, and said, "The concubine doesn't know ......."

Han Jian hugged Yang Li'er tighter, originally he wanted to talk about Yang Luochuan, but when he saw this situation, Yang Luochuan's matter couldn't be mentioned. After more than an hour with Yang Li'er, someone brought food over. At this time, it was already a little late, and Han Jian and Yang Li'er had dinner together, so they could accompany Yang Li'er for a while and let her sleep peacefully. Yang Li'er obviously hasn't rested well in the past few days, and she has been feeling guilty about the matter of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou outside the city, and now the matter of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou has been solved, but it is the result of the two sides fighting and each losing money, which makes her even more uneasy. Now there is Han Jian with him. She had just fallen asleep, but she had just fallen asleep and woken up several times. Every time, there was some horror on his face, and he didn't settle down a little when he saw Han Jian by his side clearly.

Seeing Yang Li'er's condition, Han Jian was distressed. To say that Yang Li'er has suffered a lot since she got married, the second lady who was once high in the Nanwang Mansion is also Yang Luochuan's right-hand man. She is different from other ordinary women, she was an important member of the Yuzhou military and political system, and she was also responsible for the training and command of Yuzhou's soldiers and horses, and it is precisely in this way that she is more concerned about the attack of Yuzhou's soldiers and horses.

Han Jian wanted to reassure Yang Li'er. I didn't get a good night's sleep.

By the next day, it was rare for the family to get together for breakfast, and the women in the courtyard basically came out to get together, including Song Suqing and Lin Xiaoshu, who did not often appear on weekdays. These two daughters have helped Dongwangfu to do some things on weekdays, especially Lin Xiaoshu, even after marrying Han Jian, she is still in charge of the military dispatch of Dongwangfu, but the work is not as tight as before, and after the accident, she will not leave Luoyang in a hurry like before.

After the family had breakfast, the maids in each house helped these hostesses go back, and Han Jian left Fa Yi to say a few words, he also knew that he couldn't accompany Yang Li'er every day, and Yang Li'er's current state was very bad, and someone around him needed someone to talk to him. If this person is the most suitable person to be Fa Yi, who has no quarrel with the world, although she doesn't talk much, she is very sincere, and letting Fa Yi move with Yang Li'er is also to let Yang Li'er get out of the shadow in her heart earlier.

"Xianggong said, the concubine knows." Fa Yi smiled slightly, she also knew about the affairs of Nanwangfu, although she had not had much communication with Yang Li'er before, she did not have any disgust and jealousy. As soon as Han Jian said it, she understood.

Only then did Han Jian put his mind at ease, and by the way, he told Han Song's family to arrange for Fa Yi to temporarily move over to accompany Yang Li'er.

After settling down, Han Jian specially went to see Yang Xin'er's reaction, and could see that Yang Xin'er also had no rejection of Fa Yi, although she and Gu Xin'er respected each other on the surface, but it was impossible to say that there was no gap in their hearts, as the two concubines of Dongwang Mansion, there was still some competition for favor in them, but for Fa Yi, who was an elder and is now a sister, Yang Li'er seemed more acceptable and easier to speak. Yang Li'er herself also felt a little lonely when Han Jian was not around, and now that there are sisters who can talk together, she also feels comforted in her heart.

……

……

Throughout the day, Han Jian was busy with the allocation of grain and grass. In the spring famine, it was another time to use troops everywhere, and the situation of the East Wangfu in the past two years was very bad. However, there is a little advantage that once the East Wangfu dispatched more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the farming was abandoned, although it is still in the war, but the East Wangfu has less than 60,000 men, and the basic farming can be maintained. But that's it, it can't stand the consumption of soldiers and horses in the northwest and two directions, and after the north was trampled by the Xianbei people, many areas are deserted, and there are still refugees in the local area who need the imperial court to help, which additionally increases the burden on the imperial court. The imperial court now exists in name only, and the pressure is transferred to the Eastern Palace.

In the afternoon, Han Jian met with people from the household department of the imperial court and asked the household department to send an official document to the locality. Now the only people who can still transfer grain are the big households in various places, that is, the landlords in this year. But it is very difficult to squeeze food out of these people themselves. It can't be said that it is for the rich or unkind, these big landlords themselves rely on hoarding to maintain the vitality of the family, and now to make them vomit blood is to move the root of these people, just like a game.

According to Han Jian's meaning, take out some practical benefits, so that the local big local households who donate grain can send their disciples to the capital as officials, although it is to start from the middle and lower level of petty officials, but the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of soldiers and horses. This is contrary to the previous proposition of the imperial court, which has become the mainstream of the Wei Dynasty, and now it is suddenly necessary to open a precedent for exchanging grain for officials, which is tantamount to violating the fairness of the scholars.

Gu Weipan has no opinion on this, as the first assistant of a dynasty, he is no longer as stubborn as before, he understands the affairs of the imperial court as well as Han Jian, and now the lack of food does not mean that it can be conjured out of thin air, if you don't give benefits to those rich households who have food, and want them to take out food, then you can only use force, but this will hurt the local support for the imperial court and the Eastern Palace. But if it is a precedent, it will make the world's scholars complain, and after studying hard, they will not be able to donate some food to others, and this kind of psychological gap is also difficult to accept. And the imperial court itself also needs the support of scholars and public opinion.

Han Jian didn't care about any public opinion, soldiers and horses need food and grass, and the most important thing now is to maintain the operation of the imperial court, anyway, after quelling the Yuzhou incident, the imperial court will also open the imperial examination to take scholars, and both sides should be carried out at the same time. Even if the scholar has an opinion, at least it won't be so fierce.

Han Jian told the household department what he meant, and then discussed it with Gu Weipan, who only said that the imperial examination would be held according to Yang Rui's original explanation, and the local scholars would also arrive in Luoyang in the near future. This is also the first large-scale imperial examination after the turmoil in the world, the local scholars are still relatively enthusiastic, and heroes are produced in troubled times, and many people have also figured out this way to enter the court and have a role.

However, before Han Jian left, Gu Weipan still expressed a certain amount of worry, what he was afraid of was not that the scholar came out to make trouble, but that someone would use this to provoke those students. Now Luoyang seems to be stable, but after experiencing the Yuzhou Soldiers and Horses Incident, people's hearts are a little sluggish, and the imperial court and the Dongwang Mansion can no longer make people's hearts completely stable, and there are too many unstable factors.
