Jiangdu, in the Dongwang Mansion, Han Jian looked at the information coming from Luoyang City, and couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart.

From the withdrawal of Yun Jin with 6,000 remnants, Han Jian felt that there was going to be chaos, and sure enough, in mid-June, Yun Jin led 6,000 remnants of troops to make the surroundings of Luoyang restless. Although Luoyang City was not captured, Yunjin's appeal in Luoyang's Jinggi defense was outstanding, and the outer city of Luoyang was lost, and from further intelligence, after Yunjin's rebels entered the city, they burned, killed and looted in the name of Jiangdu Dongwangfu, which was simply to the point of doing no evil.

Luoyang was in turmoil, and it had nothing to do with Jiangdu. But Yunjin had sinister intentions, he naturally didn't want to bear the infamy, so he put the responsibility on the Dongwangfu, and he himself said that he accepted the surrender of the Dongwangfu and was ready to "recover" Luoyang. As a result, there was such a scene, and the people of Luoyang not only hated those bandit-like rebels, but also transferred their anger to Dongwangfu and him Han Fitness.

When Han Jian heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly. In these years, in the face of strong public opinion, if you want to explain clearly, it will usually only get darker and darker.

"Is there any movement over there in the North Palace?" Seeing that Han Jian had been silent, Han Songshi couldn't help but ask.

After Han Songshi heard about the chaos in Luoyang, she also expressed her worries, mainly for the people in the capital. As for the matter of Yunjin's rebel guy Dongwangfu, in her opinion, it can be resolved through time, and some things can be explained clearly over time.

Han Jian heard this: "The Northern Wangfu has withdrawn its troops and crossed the Huai River, and the war has subsided. The rest is to restore the war-torn areas earlier, and it is time to start planting summer grain. If you don't plant again, you may not be able to harvest it before the end of the year. ”

"Xia Liang's affairs, I'll take care of you Sanniang, now that Luoyang is in a mess, are you ready to continue to march into the army? If the East Wangfu does not make any moves, I am afraid that the West Wangfu and the South Wangfu will make moves, and we will be caught off guard and will suffer a lot. Han Song was still very worried.

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "Erniang, Jiang Du has just experienced this war, it's time to rest." As for Luoyang. Let's leave it at ease. Even if the West Wangfu and the South Wangfu want to take Luoyang, they have to ask the North Wangfu first. Or even if they attack Luoyang, they have to consider the issue of justification. After all, His Majesty is still alive. ”

Han Song thought for a moment and nodded.

Now the main contradiction of the Wei Dynasty. Although it was the four feudal kings who supported the army and respected themselves. Contradictions with the imperial court. But it manifests. But it was Yang Yu's usurpation and rebellion, and the dispute with the empress's orthodoxy.

Originally, the Northern Palace's support for Yang Yu was also to remove the obstacle of the empress first. But this time the war was reversed by the East Palace, and Yang Yu's situation was very bad. The meaning of his existence is just to balance the orthodox status of the empress, everyone wants to capture Luoyang, but he doesn't want to be the one who kills Yang Yu, and if he retains a Yang Yu, he retains the orthodox name of the royal family and can command the world.

It's just that the outside world doesn't know that in fact, as the orthodox empress of the Wei Dynasty, she has disappeared, and now Jiangdu is just a name.

Han Cuishi said on the side: "But Your Majesty, I have never found it." ”

Han Jian sighed: "This is also what I am worried about. As soon as the war is over, those court officials in Jiangdu will inevitably mention His Majesty's rule again, and they will ask to see His Majesty again. His Majesty has been ill for half a year, and if he doesn't show up in public again, I'm afraid ...... Rumors from the outside world will also spread more and more, and the more they spread, the more unfavorable it will be for Dongwangfu. ”

Han Jian said that there is a basis for this, in the past six months, whether it is the public opinion war launched by Yang Yu to find someone in Jiangdu, or the word of mouth of the common people, they all believe that the empress has been "house arrested" by the Dongwang Mansion, not really ill. Jiangdu had been in the midst of war before, and even if there were rumors among the people, some people believed it to be true, but they could never break out, and they also knew that engaging in internal affairs during the war was tantamount to bringing disaster upon themselves. Now that the war is over, they no longer have any scruples, and the affairs of the empress's administration will be constantly mentioned, and it will not help to rely on the Dongwangfu and Gu Weipan to forcibly defend a few words.

Han Songshi said: "Jian'er, those officials in the imperial court may not be embarrassed by the East Palace. ”

Han Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Erniang, just look at it, these days, those people in the court will inevitably make trouble." ”

……

……

Two days after Han Jian finished speaking, on June 20, the officials of the Luoyang faction of the imperial court came to the Dongwang Mansion en masse and asked to see the empress.

These people deliberately avoided Gu Weipan, but came under the leadership of Lin Ke, as if they were asking for help, but they were menacing after all.

At present, Jiang Du has just won a great victory in the battle with the "rebels", and the Dongwang Mansion was also jubilant, but the atmosphere was very embarrassing by the arrival of these people.

Originally, Han Jian was inspecting the armaments outside the city, and after receiving the message from Han Song, he immediately returned to the Dongwang Mansion, and at this time, there were at least more than 100 officials in the Dongwang Mansion. And Gu Weipan came after inquiry, but he arrived with Han Jian in front of the Dongwang Mansion.

"Mrs. Gu, what happened?" Han Jian looked at Gu Weipan, and when he saw Gu Weipan's anxious appearance, he knew that Gu Weipan was also a little at a loss, and he probably didn't expect that the officials of the Luoyang faction of the imperial court would skip him and come to the East Palace.

"Your Majesty has been ill for a long time, and the court has long been criticized, and they came over, and they didn't know that they would meet the old man beforehand. How does the old man know? ”

What Gu Weipan said seemed to have nothing to do with him. However, Han Jian felt that Gu Weipan's ability to control the overall situation was not qualified.

It stands to reason that Gu Weipan, as the first assistant of the imperial court, was the minister of the Wei Dynasty. His existence is outstanding in the court, and his subordinates should also look forward to him. But in the matter of asking for help, he was isolated, in addition to Gu Weipan's close relationship with the East Palace, acting as the mediator of the East Palace and the imperial court, it was also related to his lack of courage.

To put it bluntly, many people in the court did not believe him.

"Mrs. Gu, please."

Han Jian didn't say anything to Gu Weipan, and after making the gesture of please, he and Gu Weipan entered the courtyard of the East Wangfu one after the other. At this time, there were already many officials waiting in the main courtyard of the East Palace. When Han Jian saw these people, these people were all looking in the direction of the main hall of the East King Mansion, and they should be waiting for news inside.

However, with the report of the guards and the return of the East King, these officials immediately put away their mentality of watching the excitement and bowed down.

Han Jian ignored it and went straight to the main hall of the East Palace. When they arrived in the main hall, several old ministers were talking loudly, not one, but a group, as if they wanted to use their aura to suppress the momentum of Han Song and Han Cui.

At this time, Han Song and Han Cui obviously had some inadequate responses, and they didn't expect these people in the imperial court to be so aggressive. They repeatedly tolerated it, feeling that they were victorious on the battlefield of the East Wangfu at the moment, and they should not cause internal contradictions, but a little forbearance made these officials of the court feel that they were at a loss.

"What?" Han Jian snorted with a dark face, and many people present who were originally talking suddenly quieted down.

At this time, the people present noticed that Han Jian and Gu Weipan were already standing at the door of the main hall, and Han Jian was also followed by a large group of guards, all of whom were equipped with swords, all of them stood tall and tall, and they were not easy to get along with at first glance.

"The East King is here, it's been a long time." Lin Ke walked over with a smile, and the smile on his old face made Han Jian feel very weird.

This smile seems to be relieved, not like a great enemy.

Since Lin Ke was tripped by him in the empress's dormitory, his nose was crooked, and it took a month to recover, although Lin Ke still acted as a "thorn" in many things, he never had a head-on conflict with him. Originally, Han Jian was worried that he would expose the matter after he noticed that the empress was a fake identity, but looking at him in the past few months, he didn't seem to be aware of it.

"Lin Shangshu, all the ministers, why did you suddenly come to visit my Dongwang Mansion? Not even to be notified in advance? ”

Han Jian strode forward and arrived in front of Han Song's family, and Han Song's family was also slightly relieved when he saw Han Jian.

After all, she had already handed over the Dongwang Mansion to Han Jian to take care of, and when she saw Han Jian, she also believed that Han Jian could handle things well, although sometimes Han Jian's approach could not be fully agreed upon by her and Han Cui's family.

"The king of the east asked knowingly, we are naturally here to see His Majesty." A middle-aged official in the crowd spoke.

Han Jian said: "Seeing Your Majesty, just go to the dormitory and ask for a meeting, and if you go to the East Palace, do you want to make a fuss and demonstrate with my East Palace?" ”

There were immediately hardliners among the officials who wanted to speak, but Lin Ke preemptively said: "The East King has misunderstood." I waited to come here, mainly to ask about His Majesty's condition, to see if it was appropriate, and to let His Majesty come out to meet with the hundred officials, so as to dispel the rumors outside? This is also for the stability of Jiangdu......"

Han Jian looked at Lin Ke and asked, "Is that what you mean?" ”

Lin Ke laughed and said, "Otherwise, what would it be?" This time, the King of the East Prince's Mansion Qin has a meritorious escort, and I am waiting for this time to come, or to congratulate the East Prince's Mansion, and by the way, I am ready to invite His Majesty to the throne and add an official to the East King...... As the king of the county, the king of the east is under the king of the south and other rebellious ministers, and he always can't talk about it......"

Lin Ke's meaning was to ask the empress to play, so that Han Jian's county king could be promoted to the prince. But in the ancestral system of the Wei Dynasty, the highest title of foreign surname is only the king of the county, and most of them are only posthumously named the king of the county after death. Han Jian, who is not a royal surname at such a young age, can be the king of the county, and it is already a special favor to lead a domain and subjects.

As for what kind of prince he wants to be, Han Jian is not interested. Let him be a prince, and the area under his jurisdiction is still so large, and the population and soldiers will not increase. but they will be burdened with the infamy of transgression.

"Lin Shangshu, as the Shangshu of the Eastern Pavilion, thinks that doing this will not violate the Wei Dynasty legal code?" Han Jian asked coldly.

Lin Ke smiled again: "Now the East King is the backbone of my Wei Dynasty, even if there is a small conflict with the Codex, as long as His Majesty makes temporary changes, I believe that the people of the world will not say anything." Dongwang, don't you say? ”

When Han Jian heard this, he suddenly felt that either Lin Ke had turned into a flattering villain, or he was preparing to set up a stumbling block to seize the power of the East Palace. (To be continued......)
