Chapter 317: The Master Comes to See
Onishiyanagi's sincerity made Han Jian more perfect in the intelligence system. To deal with the battle with Yang Yu and the Northern Wang Army, intelligence is an important part, and Han Jian also wants to know what is happening in Luoyang.
Although there was Mrs. Luo as Luoyang's eyeliner before, Han Jian couldn't be completely at ease with Mrs. Luo after all, and the purpose of Mrs. Luo's attachment to him was to restore the country for Xiliang after all.
Four days later, the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, is the wedding day of Han Jian and Gu Xin'er.
On this day, the Dongwang Mansion was lit up with lights, and from the previous two days, the officials and gentry from all over Jiangdu who came to congratulate were already in the city, and in the early morning of this day, the Dongwang Mansion opened its doors to welcome the guests.
This day started in the morning, Han Jian got up very early as usual, and after getting up, he didn't immediately prepare for the wedding, and the wedding was handled by the people of the East Palace, so he didn't need to be careful.
Han Jian has been mainly collecting news about Luoyang in the past few days, and in addition, Han Jian is also very concerned about the safety of the empress. Before that, Fa Ye had already left Jiangdu to find the empress, and maintained correspondence with Han Jian, using code words to indicate the progress of the search, so that Han Jian could know at any time.
Just after Han Jian finished reading Luoyang's information, he was about to come out, when Han Song came to find Han Jian.
"Jian'er, Qi Chao sent someone over there, saying that he was here to congratulate you on your wedding, and brought an entourage and gifts." Han Songshi came up and told Han Jiandao.
"People from the Qi Dynasty?" Han Jian thought for a moment and said, "Who is sent?" ”
"You also know, it's Zhu Tongjing, the master of the Qi Dynasty."
Han Jian sighed: "This person is cunning, but when he is in Qidi. He had helped me, and this time I couldn't be squeezy with him. Erniang, send someone to entertain first, I won't see him for the time being. ”
Han Songshi nodded and said, "The Qi Dynasty people came to congratulate Jian'er on your wedding, and it is also very likely that they came to hear the news of His Majesty." His Majesty has been avoiding people for several days, and Qi Chao must have been suspicious. This Zhu Tongjing, you must always be on guard, it's okay if you don't see the athletes. But we can't let the people of the Qi Dynasty think that we have lost the courtesy. After all, now our Jiangdu represents the court of the Wei Dynasty. ”
Han Jian also nodded. Han Songshi was roughly right. At this time, others thought that the empress was in Jiangdu, and the temporary court was also located in Jiangdu, and the Qi Dynasty did not go to the new court at this time to get in touch with the new court, but came to show goodwill with Jiangdu. There must be their own calculations in it. As for whether the Qi Dynasty wanted to take advantage of the chaos to pacify the north and complete the unification of the world. I was still ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watching the Wei Dynasty fall apart. These Han Jian are not easy to guess. If he chooses it himself, the Southern Qi people will not rush to send troops at this time, but will have to wait until the north fights first. The troops will only be sent after the vitality is seriously damaged.
After Han Song finished speaking, he left. Then Wen'er personally sent Han Jian's wedding dress over, and as Wen'er and Han Jian spent the Spring Festival together, she was already a little woman, and she seemed to be much more mature and intellectual overnight.
"Wen'er, I'm getting married, aren't you sad?" Han Jian is also happy to have Wen'er serve carefully, now his relationship with Wen'er is not ordinary, he is no longer a master and servant in the general sense, Wen'er is more careful in doing things, and is no longer as clumsy as before.
"The young master is getting married, and it's too late for Wen'er to be happy." Wen'er said with a smile, "Yesterday, the princess of the county praised Wen'er for her diligence...... Young master, are you putting ...... Our business, sue the princess of the county? ”
Han Jian smiled and said, "I haven't said it yet." Wait until today. ”
"Uh-huh." Wen'er nodded, and then untied Han Jian's clothes, in addition to helping Han Jian untie his clothes and put the new dress on Han Jian, the person was already kneeling in front of Han Jian, and his hand was already touching Han Jian.
"Stop being naughty." Han Jian grabbed Wen'er's hand and took it away, and Wen'er pouted a little sullenly.
Han Jian was going to marry Gu Xin'er that day, so naturally he didn't want to do something harmful with Wen'er in the room, and at noon, he had to go to the new Gu Mansion to pick up his relatives, and he had to be busy with a lot of things a day. This is very different from his previous marriage with Yang Li'er, this time he got married, which can be said to be known to everyone in the world, and the Gu Xin'er he married will also be the concubine of the East King, so there will be no less in the number of etiquette, and it is also very troublesome for the vassal king to marry.
"Young master, the princess of the county said, if there are still young maids around the young master in the future, let Wen'er help, young master, don't leave Wen'er." Wen'er said in a pleading tone with a bit of the anger of her little daughter's family.
Han Jian smiled and touched Wen'er's face and nodded.
Han Jian changed into a dress, and at this time he was going out to entertain some guests first. Although according to the formal wedding etiquette, the reception should start after welcoming relatives, but after all, he is the king of the east, and the vast majority of people outside are not relatives and friends, but officials of the east palace, and these people come to Jiangdu for another purpose, that is, to report on their work. The prince of the east, they happened to come to attend the wedding banquet of the king of the east, before and after the wedding banquet, it was also the time for them to report the matter of local governance and wait for the arrangement. At the same time, they also had to express their allegiance to the king of the east.
The wedding banquet of the East Prince's Mansion is still being prepared, the wine banquet has not yet begun, and most of the officials who come to the East Prince's Mansion are waiting in the wing, and the wing room can only entertain some local county guard-level officials, some minor officials or representatives sent by the local government, and they can only wait in the courtyard for the time being. But even so, these people are also interested, this time they came from afar, they are also making friends and talking about family life, and they are also coming to politics at this time to socialize.
As soon as Han Jian appeared in the West Chamber, the officials present heard the report and immediately stopped talking and saluted Han Jian.
Some of the higher official positions all stepped forward to greet Han Jian and reported to their homes. After Han Jian returned the salute, he and several of them went to a larger meeting room, and inside, a brief meeting was held, mainly to discuss the recruitment of sergeants and the collection of military rations.
As Jiangdu successively sent people to the local area to coordinate and collect grain, the local government also began to prepare for war.
The meeting was very brief and did not mention anything substantial, and Han Jian only expressed an attitude that no matter how much grain was lost in the local government before, the preparations for this war must be made up, otherwise the mistakes of local officials will be picketed, and these people may be disgraced, dismissed, or even brought to justice.
As the meeting was about to end, the guards came in and gave Han Jian a letter. Han Jian glanced at the guard, and the guard said, "It was sent by someone outside the Dongwang Mansion, it seems to be ...... Sima Gongzi's notes, so we dare not slack off. ”
Han Jian looked at the handwriting on the envelope, it was indeed Sima Yi's note. It is likely that the letter was written by Sima Qi.
Sima Yi can be regarded as Han Jian's friend who grew up together, although he is now in Jinling, Han Jian also sent people to look for him and try to save him back. But his whereabouts have never been found, and Han Jian was originally worried that something would happen to him, but at this time, he came to the letter, which meant that he was safe and sound.
However, Han Jian wanted to come, this letter may have been brought by Zhu Tongjing.
Sure enough, when Han Jian opened the envelope, it was not a letter from Sima Yi, but an invitation from Zhu Tongjing to ask him to come over.
Han Jian shook his head helplessly, this Zhu Tongjing was cunning and cunning, and he used Sima Yixin's envelope to send invitations, which made him unable to refuse. This is like saying to him, Sima Yi is now in my hands, if you don't come, the consequences will be handled by yourself!
"His Royal Highness the King of the East, I don't know what else to send?" The officials next to him were a little nervous when they saw Han Jian holding the letter and not speaking, afraid that it would be unfavorable to them. After all, there have been frequent local food shortages in recent years, and every official will worry about his future career.
"It's all right, you have come to attend the king's wedding ceremony, please wait a while. On the feast, if you are not drunk, you will not return. Han Jian got up and smiled.
The people present laughed and laughed, but their hearts were mixed, but they could breathe a sigh of relief if Han Jian wanted to leave.
Han Jian came out of the West Chamber, and happened to meet Jiuniang Han Zhao, who brought someone to bring refreshments. Han Zhaoshi saw Han Jian's solemn expression and hurriedly walked, and hurriedly asked, "Jian'er, what's the matter?" ”
"Jiuniang, I'll go out first, and I'll come back before picking up my relatives." Han Jian said.
Han Zhao said: "When you need to pick up your relatives, what is the urgency to go out at this time?" ”
Han Jian didn't answer, and had already taken his entourage to the back door of the East Palace. Because the direction of the front door is to entertain guests, he will meet many officials when he goes out, and he has to greet and salute on the way, so he can go to the back door to be quiet and fast.
Han Jian didn't take many people with him when he went out this time, after all, this is Jiangdu, his own land, and he can figure out the road with his eyes closed.
When I arrived at the place where Zhu Tongjing met, a restaurant called Atayal, I could see Zhu Tongjing standing in front of the window on the second floor and watching the scenery of Jiangdu City from a distance. There were several attendants standing in front of the restaurant, and the entire restaurant seemed to be under Zhu Tongjing's baggage.
Han Jian had also been to this restaurant before, but he only knew that it was a very ordinary restaurant, which was not a high-end restaurant in Jiangdu City, but it was located in a remote area and belonged to a very quiet one, Han Jian expected that perhaps because of this, Zhu Tongjing would choose to meet him in this kind of place.
"King Dong, it's been a long time." Han Jian went to the bottom of the restaurant, and before he could enter the door, Zhu Tongjing, who was standing on the second floor, bowed with a smile and saluted.
"Long time gone, long time gone." Han Jian said, letting his entourage wait outside, and he entered the restaurant alone.
The restaurant was empty, even the tables and chairs had been removed, and the same was true on the second floor, the entire hall was empty, except for Zhu Tongjing, the entire hall didn't even have a mouse, which made Han Jian feel weird.
"King Dong, is it strange that there are no decorations here?"
Zhu Tongjing was dressed in a turquoise shirt, still holding his iconic folding fan in his hand but not opening it, and he spoke with a calm and relaxed smile, so that people could not see his depth. Zhu Tongjing belongs to the type of handsome guy who is heroic and popular with thousands of girls, such a man is an embroidered pillow most of the time, but Zhu Tongjing not only has this miserable appearance, but also has unfathomable scheming, which is the one that Han Jian has seen, and the most means are the most unguardable.
"It's weird." Han Jian said, and said with a smile, "But what's the matter, anyway, Master Zhu also knows that I don't have the possibility of eating here." If you want to say anything, it's better to be straightforward, so as not to go around in circles and delay my marriage. (To be continued......)
