Chapter 491: New Year (Part I)

On the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Han Jian entered the palace with Yang Luochuan, the king of the south, this time Yang Rui did not summon the ministers, but only summoned the king of the east and the king of the south. As for the reason, people outside can't guess it, even Yang Luochuan is confused.

Han Jian and Yang Luochuan waited in Ye'an Pavilion for a while, and Yang Luochuan naturally wanted to hear some news from Han Jian, but Han Jian was secretive and didn't say anything. Seeing that at noon, the little eunuch came over to spread the word that Yang Rui had come, and at this time, Han Jian and Yang Luochuan got up together to greet him.

"Two Aiqing, don't be so restrained." Yang Rui entered Ye'an Pavilion and saw Han Jian and Yang Luochuan, with a relaxed expression, he walked to the desk and sat down, stretched out his hand and said, "I am looking for you two to come here today to discuss the matter of marching, it is a matter of great importance." ”

Yang Luochuan glanced up at Yang Rui slightly, and saluted: "I don't know what Your Majesty is discussing?" The matter of the march, the old minister has not been taken into account here for many days, and when he needs to invite the ministers of the Southern Wangfu to Luoyang? ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Rui said, "Actually, it's a march. But now that the New Year is approaching, I want to see if there is a shortage in the army. Furthermore, discuss the matter of moving out of Luoyang. ”

"Move away from Luoyang?"

Yang Luochuan glanced at Han Jian, there were many rumors about the relocation of the capital in the outside world, but after all, it was just gossip outside. Now it seems that even if the matter of moving the capital is not true, it is still eight or nine.

Yang Luochuan nodded and said: "Now that Luoyang is newly calm and people's hearts are unstable, your majesty wants to take this opportunity to leave Luoyang?" For the time being, take Jiangdu as the foundation? ”

When Yang Rui heard Yang Luochuan's words of "acquaintance", he also glanced at Han Jian first. The heart said that it was Han Jian who revealed the words to Yang Luochuan.

But in fact, Han Jian didn't say a word to Yang Luochuan about moving away from Luoyang, and Yang Luochuan also said such things based on rumors outside. The old treacherous and cunning person didn't know the specific situation before, and speaking out was as if he had already known the situation. Yang Luochuan can say this, obviously based on the rumors outside and his own understanding.

Yang Rui nodded and said, "What King Nan said is true, I do have this intention. Luoyang is not a safe place now, but Yuzhou and Jiangdu are more stable. ”

Yang Luochuan didn't speak, and he was more sure of the authenticity of the rumors outside. Han Jian just stood to the side. About moving the capital or moving away from Luoyang. He never commented, mainly because he discussed this matter with Yang Rui before returning to Luoyang, and now Yang Rui proposed it, as if to convey his opinion. Nor do these matters need to be discussed.

Yang Rui finally said: "Three days later." The soldiers and horses set off. At that time, some families in Luoyang will also go to Jiangdu with me. King of the East and King of the South, you two should also go back early to arrange the marching schedule. lest you be in a hurry and have no time to prepare. ”

"Yes." Han Jian and Yang Luochuan received the order together.

Yang Rui didn't say much, and asked Han Jian and Yang Luochuan to retire on their own on the grounds of physical fatigue.

Han Jian and Yang Luochuan came out of Ye'an Pavilion together, Yang Luochuan looked at Han Jian with a smile on his face and said, "The virtuous son-in-law should have known about what His Majesty mentioned today?" ”

"What King Nan said is true, how can I find out in advance?" Han Jian pretended not to know, so he said.

Yang Luochuan laughed and stopped asking a word about moving the capital. Han Jian knew that Yang Luochuan must have some secrets in his heart, after all, now Yang Luochuan was held hostage by the Eastern Palace, and the army was going to Jiangdu, and he would follow him nine times out of ten, and now he was more concerned about when he could return to Yuzhou. To his own realm, he can be regarded as a true mountain high emperor.

Han Jian returned to the Dongwang Mansion, and at this time, the official document of the imperial court had just arrived. Yang Rui in the name of the imperial court, officially issued the edict of moving away from Luoyang, although the edict did not mention the matter of moving the capital, but as the imperial court moved away from Luoyang to Jiangdu again, and many families also moved away, the status of the Luoyang political center was quietly changing.

"Xianggong, I'll leave in three days, I seem to be in a hurry. I thought I would be able to rest for a few more days. ”

When Yang Li'er saw the edict, she looked a little regretful, probably because she felt that she had left before she had rested, and the non-military life in Luoyang had just become accustomed to it and had to change.

"Wouldn't it be nice to go? Back in Jiangdu, that's our own place. Han Jian was in the main hall of the Dongwang Mansion Courtyard, looking indifferent. In fact, Han Jian wanted to leave Luoyang and return to Jiangdu earlier, and after leaving Jiangdu for a while, he still missed it a little.

Yang Li'er nodded and said, "It's okay to go back, but ...... Xianggong, my father's side...... But you want to go to Jiangdu with us? ”

Han Jian looked at Yang Li'er's eager gaze, obviously asking for something about Yang Luochuan.

For Yang Luochuan, who is the king of the south, the way to atone for his sins is to stay in the army of the East King, and the dispatch of troops and horses in Yuzhou is completely coordinated by the East Palace.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Li'er, in a few days, King Nan should return to Yuzhou." He will not come to Jiangdu with us. ”

"Oh." Yang Li'er's face was slightly relieved, and she said, "Father found someone to deliver the letter, and asked the concubine to help say it in front of the princess." The concubine thought it was very embarrassing, Xianggong, you still have to forgive the concubine for asking about the Nanwang Mansion. ”

Han Jian smiled and hugged Yang Li'er and said, "What did Li'er say, isn't the matter of Nanwangfu just about his own people?" ”

Saying this, Han Jian was also thinking about Yang Luochuan's intentions in his heart. In order to return to Yuzhou as soon as possible, he secretly sent someone to Yang Li'er to talk about it?

If it weren't for the fact that he and Yang Li'er had no suspicion of each other, and they almost didn't say anything, Yang Li'er would not have revealed such a "confidential" thing to him. Now that he knows that Yang Luochuan is leaving, he will not let Yang Luochuan succeed lightly.

On the afternoon of the 29th day of the lunar month, the entire Dongwangfu Courtyard was preparing for the New Year, because after the New Year, they had to migrate back to Jiangdu with the army, so this New Year was also a simple year.

Han Jian came out of the courtyard of the Dongwang Mansion and went to the Yamen of the Shangting Office, which at this time was also the temporary residence of the imperial court.

When Han Jian arrived, Lin Ke had just finished the meeting, and when he saw Han Jian, Lin Ke stepped forward, while the other ministers were very acquainted with each other, and vacated the general office of the listening office to let Han Jian and Lin Ke talk.

“…… Your Highness, this is some of the affairs in Luoyang recently, and I would like to ask Your Highness to take a look. ”

Lin Ke adhered and handed over some of the notebooks. There are a lot of things on the list, and most of them are administrative expenses that cost money.

During the time of the military command, the administrative aspects were all thrifty, and many expenses were saved if they could be saved. Now that Yang Rui has returned to the court, the people below naturally thought that they could be guaranteed in terms of expenses, so they reached out to ask the court for money. But Lin Ke was a cook without rice, and he didn't have any silver on hand, seeing that so many places in Luoyang needed to spend money, he could only come over to ask Han Jian for his meaning.

"Let's take a break." Han Jian looked at it, put down the notebook, and said, "Your Majesty's earlier imperial decree, but it was conveyed?" ”

"Yes. Xia Guan read it and said that after three days, the imperial court would move to Jiangdu. Lin Ke's face was a little embarrassed.

"What do you think of Lin Shangshu?" Han Jian asked.

Lin Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "It is naturally a good thing for the imperial court to move back to Jiangdu. Luoyang is not peaceful now, and it is not as safe as Jiangdu, so it is ...... to calm the north as soon as possible."

As soon as Han Jian heard this, he knew that he was insincere.

To move back to Jiangdu, it is said that it is considered from the aspect of stability, but in fact, the starting point is still politics. Because Jiangdu is the capital of the Eastern Palace, Luoyang is the capital of the imperial court. Now moving the political center to Jiangdu is also tantamount to telling outsiders that the imperial court is now also in charge of the Dongwang Mansion.

Han Jian didn't ask this question again, but instead asked: "In the Luoyang family, there are still some people who are far away from the Ning family and have not been listed in the imperial court, how do they react?" ”

"This ......," Lin Ke said, "Back to Your Highness, these families ...... They all intend to move south with His Majesty, but in some things, it is strange...... The lower officials don't know whether to talk about it or not......"

"Oh?" Han Jian looked at Lin Ke, who was evasive in his words, and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

Lin Ke said: "Ning Shangshu seems to have discussed with the king of Yanning County before, and now the king of Yanning County is going north with the thief...... Ning Shangshu seems to have a connection with the thief......"

When Han Jian heard this, he was stunned at first, and then smiled.

Regarding the issue of Ning Yuanzheng's position, he had sent someone to investigate it carefully. Speaking of which, Ning Yuan is a two-faced and three-sworded master, while operating in Luoyang, hoping to protect his family, but in fact, he still colludes with some remnants of Yang Yu behind his back. This is also the reason why he warned Ning Xiuyan.

Now that Ning Yuan has colluded with the king of Yanning County, Lin Ke has noticed that Lin Ke and Ning Yuan have a good relationship, but now Lin Ke has come out to "report", which shows that Lin Ke does not just want to repay the favor to the Ning family. It is said that Lin Ke is thinking about problems from the position of the imperial court, but it is better to say that Lin Ke is also pregnant with a ghost in his heart.

Han Jian took the initiative to let Ning Yuan and others go to the imperial court to migrate to Jiangdu with the army, which was considered a favor, and now Ning Yuan is very comfortable in the East Palace. In this case, Lin Ke would also put himself in danger, thinking that his position would be replaced by people from some old factions such as Ning Yuan. After all, he has been in Jiangdu for a long time and has not been reused, and it was only after Gu Weipan's assassination that he gradually became the home of the imperial court, but a word from the East King will make him lose the instant he got before.

Han Jian sighed: "King of Yanning County? Alas! What else does Lin Shangshu know? ”

Lin Ke smiled and said, "There are not many things that the lower officials know. It seems that His Royal Highness has long been aware of Ning Shangshu's affairs, and it is that the lower officials are talkative. The lower officials were also afraid that Ning Shangshu would pretend to reconcile with the imperial court, and secretly still conspired for the thief, which was not good for the imperial court. It seems that the lower officials are too worried. ”

"What Lin Shangshu said, you care about the court, if you don't say it if you know it, this king will mind in his heart." Han Jian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Lin Ke said, but cold sweat broke out on his head. He felt that he was going to lose too much this time. (To be continued......)
