When the empress heard Han Jian's answer, she glanced at Han Jian with a smile, and her gaze seemed to say, you kid is quite smart.

"I just want to hear what you mean." The empress said, "Which of my two younger brothers do you think is more suitable to be the crown prince?" ”

The empress didn't say whether she should appoint a prince or not, but directly said who she should appoint. It's like another leap forward. Han Jian's mind was spinning quickly, the empress had always been indifferent to the matter of the crown prince, and someone had mentioned the establishment of the prince before, and he was directly dismissed and held accountable by the empress. In this matter, the empress's attitude has always been very tough, so some ministers in the court did not dare to mention the matter of the crown prince.

This time, dozens of ministers jointly petitioned to establish the crown prince, could it be that these people feel that the law does not blame the public, so they should brush the dragon's beard? Or did something happen that gave the matter room to turn around and made the courtiers see signs that the empress was going to return to power?

Han Jian also knew that since the empress had asked about this, he couldn't avoid taboos anymore, and there were some things he should say or say.

"Back to His Majesty, the minister was friendly with the sixth prince, knew a little about him, and knew that he was a benevolent person. The minister didn't know much about the three princes, and the three princes were older, or they might be more capable of taking on the big role. Whether to establish a prince or not, who is the prince, the minister is subject to His Majesty. ”

Han Jian deliberately revealed some flaws in his words, so that the empress would think that he was not thinking enough about this matter. Or rather, he never thought about it. But in fact, Han Jian has thought about the matter of the prince more than once in his heart. Now that the empress is not married and has not given birth to children, sooner or later the throne will be returned to the male of the Yang family. Of course, the empress did not want to force the throne to be handed over to the king of the west and the king of the north, and she wanted to pass on the throne to her two younger brothers.

Perhaps the empress never mentioned the prince in the past, because Yang Xi was still young, and Yang Yu could only be appointed if she wanted to establish the prince. And in the matter of the prince, no competition is equivalent to no burden, even if the empress wants to make Yang Yu the crown prince, she also wants to observe Yang Xi when he grows up. may be in the empress's heart, she admires Yang Xi's little brother even more, and appreciates his honest and benevolent character.

When the empress heard Han Jian say this, she didn't say much, but calmed down as if she was thinking.

"I don't mention it." After a while, the empress changed the topic and said, "Now in my Wei Dynasty, chaos is rampant. Under the guise of punishing traitors and common people, these chaotic parties carry out so-called righteous deeds and carry out the acts of bandits. But these people are even supported by ordinary people, and I don't want to be bad with them...... King Dong, now that the Tingwei Mansion has imprisoned a few bandits, I will hand them over to you for disposal. ”

"Your Majesty did this...... The minister didn't quite understand...... "Han Jian was confused in his heart, why did the empress suddenly hand over the chaotic party to him to deal with?"

The empress smiled with a smile on her face: "Easing the relationship between the imperial court and the chaotic party is what I have always wanted. But the court can't come forward in this matter, it's better to hand it over to you, and the king of the east will come forward, can the king of the east share this worry for me? ”

Han Jianxin said that this was too coincidental, and there was just a female assassin at home who didn't know whether to live or die to ask him to find a way to release people, keeping in mind that His Majesty really handed over people to him and let them go. Could it be that the empress has installed spies by her side?

"It is the duty of the minister to share the worries for His Majesty." Han Jian bowed down to receive the order.

"Hmm. I will write an edict here, you can go to the Tingwei's Mansion at any time to raise people, as for whether to kill or release, a qiē will be handed over to you to deal with, and each department and yamen shall not interfere. Alright, you can step down first, and I'll come back to you to discuss something later. The empress smiled, "I heard that you have a relationship with Master Gu's daughter, but you want me to marry you?" ”

Han Jian is completely confused now, there must be spies around him! Otherwise, how could the Empress be so aware of his movements? When he went to see Gu Xin'er, he either walked alone or only brought a few guards with him, could it be that someone among the guards was a meticulous work of the imperial court?

Han Jian hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister just has admiration for Miss Gu Family, and he has not yet reached the point of talking about marriage. Chen just wants to use his own ability to get Miss Gu's sincerity. ”

The empress frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand Han Jian's mode of "developing feelings", in the eyes of people today, any free love is nonsense, the most important thing in marriage is the family, and then the words of the matchmaker of the parents. If you want to get to know each other, let's talk about it first. If you want to develop a relationship, you will talk about it when you have children.

However, the empress seemed to understand Han Jian, and she was not reluctant, nodding to let Han Jian leave the palace. Han Jiancai left the Imperial Garden with doubts.

Outside the water pavilion, Lu Shaokun was already waiting in order to lead him out of the palace. Han Jianxin said that he must find out the traitor, but which one is the traitor next to him? Sima Yu, Ruan Ping? These two knew each other in open crotch pants, and the relationship was iron enough, how could they betray him? Most likely, it was the guards around him, and it was hard to say who they were.

"Just be on guard." Han Jian reminded himself in his heart, "It's not all bad for the Empress to send a spy to my side. ”

……

……

In the imperial garden, the empress watched Han Jian leave and smiled slightly. There was a bit of lightness and joy in this smile, as if it had teased Han Jian for a while, which made her feel very relieved.

"This kid is getting more and more out of shape. If you don't mention carrying him, you may have to go to the house to uncover the tiles. The Empress muttered to herself.

And from the top of the water pavilion, a fluttering figure came from the sky, dressed in white, with a green jade sword in her hand, and the woman stopped walking.

"Senior Sister Fa Yi, I have you to find out the news by Jian'er's side, and come back to me." The empress said, "But I have doubts in his heart, so you should be careful around him in the future, so as not to be detected by him." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Law is also the way.

The empress's expression was originally very flat, but suddenly became a little cold, as if warning: "But Senior Sister Fa Yi, you must not let Jian'er be in danger again, if he acts recklessly, you must stop it earlier." If it happens again, I ...... I can't spare you! ”

Fa Yi didn't reply this time, but only bowed slightly to receive the order.

On the day in Yuhua Building, although Fa Ye was secretly observing Han Jian, he did not go to Yuhua Building because of his taboo identity. Originally, Fa Yi didn't think anything would happen, but he didn't expect an assassin to appear in Yuhua Building. Afterwards, the empress was furious, and while reprimanding the law, she also strictly ordered that the same thing should not happen again.

As for the female assassin's visit to Han Jian, Fa Yi came to inform him as soon as he learned of the situation, and the empress also knew what Han Jian had done for the first time, and by the way, she gave Han Jian a smooth enthusiasm, so that Han Jian could break off the relationship with the female assassin earlier.

When Fa also left, the empress sighed slightly: "He is still too young and vigorous, and he doesn't know how important things to do." But it's also a talent that can be made......"

……

……

Han Jian walked out of the inner palace gate and bypassed a section of the wall, but saw Yang Xi sitting there as if waiting for him.

"Brother Han, you're out." When Yang Xi saw Han Jian, he hurriedly stepped forward.

After the ceremony, Yang Xi explained to Lu Shaokun, meaning that he could send Han Jian out of the palace without Lu Shaokun accompanying him.

When Lu Shaokun left, Han Jian asked, "Something?" ”

"Hmm." Yang Xi said, "My sister seems to be about to make a prince." ”

Han Jian also learned about this just now, and seeing Yang Xi's somewhat lost look, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The crown prince, of course, is the third brother, the third brother, you are old and serious, and you will definitely be able to manage the court in the future. But what my sister means is that I am not sure whether to set up a third brother or me, I think it is not easy for my sister to set up a prince. Yang Xi said.

"Why did your sister make a prince?" Han Jian asked.

"It seems that it is the envoy of the Qi Dynasty, and they put forward a condition for their sister, saying that they want the two countries to never commit a crime again, and there must be a condition, that is, our Wei Dynasty wants the crown prince to send an envoy to the Qi Dynasty to show the friendship between the two countries." Yang Xi said, "So after that, my sister found me and the third brother and said that she wanted to establish a prince, but the matter has not yet been decided, and I don't know what the future will be."
