Chapter 811: The End of the Year (I)

The relationship between Han Jian and Yang Rui eased after the events of that day, although Yang Rui still seemed very angry with Han Jian, and would not take the initiative to say anything to Han Jian, and Han Jian did not deliberately disturb Yang Rui's life, but he could always appear when Yang Rui needed him the most.

As the wax moon is coming to an end and the new year is coming, Han Jian has begun to move the East Palace's mansion to the palace. For several days, there were constantly carriages entering and leaving the side gate of the palace in the Dongwang Mansion, sending the decorations of the various courtyards in the Dongwang Mansion into the palace, and Han Jian was also preparing to move all the female dependents to the palace before the end of the year.

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court once again issued an order to reward the soldiers in the north, and the materials transported to the north from all over the country would be used as a reward for the soldiers of the three armies, together with some of the original materials in the north, the soldiers would be withdrawn from outside the Beiguan before the end of the year, and they would also be transferred back to the south of the Yellow River before the beginning of spring. The soldiers have been fighting in the north for more than a year, and many people are eager to return to their hometowns, and Han Jian also wants the soldiers to return to their homeland and settle down as soon as possible. As for the original Jiang generals, they will also return to their hometowns one after another, and Han Jian's concern is that Su Tingxia's department is still outside Beiguan.

On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, Han Jian decreed the canonization of concubines, Ning Xiuyan, the daughter of Ning Yuan, the minister of Lingshutai, and Lin Zhan's sister Lin Xiaoshu were canonized as concubines at the same time, and the other female dependents also had their own rewards, but Han Jian did not make any arrangements for the queen's position, Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er, the two concubines of Han Jian in name, were not included in this award, and Yang Rui in the palace did not even mention half a word.

In addition to the fact that the queen did not give the title, there was no news about the position of the prince, originally Han Jian's eldest son Han Xi should be crowned as the crown prince, but Han Jian deliberately did not mention it, and he also wanted to show the world that he did not have the heart to establish a prince for the time being. Clear-eyed people know at a glance that it is Han Jian who gives Yang Rui face, although Yang Rui only has a daughter now, but it is uncertain whether he will give birth to a son in the future, and the son of Han Jian and Yang Rui is also very likely to be the crown prince of the new dynasty.

Around the twentieth day of the lunar month. There were already rumors in the imperial court about the issue of the country name and the year name of the new dynasty. Because Jiangdu is located in Jianghuai, some people in the court think that Han Jian will use "Huai" as the country name of the new dynasty, and the year name is "Gengchu". The rumors are becoming more and more true, and even the news has spread to the people, Han Jian, who is the party to the incident. When Han Jian learned about the rumors in the city, he could only sigh helplessly, because of his preservation of the old system of the Wei Dynasty, and the fact that he did not immediately replace the old things of the original Wei Dynasty, coupled with the great victory of the war between the north and Xianbei, made too many people feel that he already has the ability and prestige as the founding emperor, and paved the way for him to public opinion first.

As for who is behind as the initiator of public opinion, Han Jian is still unknown, but it is expected that there are only two types of people. One is the flatterer, who wants to reap the benefits in this way. The second group is those with bad intentions, who may want to make trouble by spreading rumors, so that the people and officials of the original Wei Dynasty will hate the new dynasty, thus causing contradictions in the court.

As the first assistant, Ning Yuan repeatedly made suggestions to Han Jian, but he did not get a clear answer from Han Jian, and it was at this time. The envoys of the Southern Dynasty secretly came to Luoyang. Xiao Zhan, the empress of the Southern Dynasty, personally sent an envoy Li Fangwei to the north, and he was also instructed by Sima Yi in the middle. This matter is confidential in the courts of the two dynasties, because it is difficult to guarantee that no one in the two dynasties will report the matter to publicize the matter, Han Jian only talked about this matter with a few cronies, and even Ning Yuan did not inform him.

Li Fangwei arrived before the end of the year, and what he talked about was nothing more than the matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries, which seemed simple but in fact had a bearing on the question of whether the two countries were at war or at peace. Now the north has been completely pacified. Han Jian is likely to raise troops to the south next, and even the people of the Wei Dynasty are talking about whether the new emperor will immediately raise troops to the south to dominate the mountains and rivers, in this case, Li Fangwei is also under great pressure, once the matter cannot be discussed, he may not have to go back to Jiangnan to see Xiao Zhan.

Han Jian didn't send anyone to receive Li Fangwei. After Li Fangwei arrived in Luoyang, he did not live in the National Post House, but was secretly placed in an official office in the city, and the matter of Li Fangwei's arrival was an absolute secret to the outside world.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, Han Jian met with the courtiers in Ye'an Pavilion, which was the third time Han Jian had discussed in Ye'an Pavilion after taking power. Although Han Jian's ascension to the throne has always been very low-key, it has become a fact that Han Jian has become the emperor, and Han Jian did not make a big deal about the court discussion, but also reserved face for the old ministers of the old dynasty.

In the recital, Ning Yuan directly raised the question of the country name and the year name, which was also what he had to do with Han Jian after repeatedly discussing privately without getting an answer.

“…… I have said many times that now that the war has not been eliminated, it is still impossible to achieve peace and security for the country and the people, and all the old systems should be preserved so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Leave this matter aside for the time being, if anyone talks about it in private, I will definitely hold them accountable! ”

Han Jian didn't get angry, but with a threatening tone. Originally, Ning Yuan seemed to be admonishing, but after Han Jian finished speaking, many courtiers felt that this was as if Han Jian and Ning Yuan were singing a duet. Ning Yuan could feel Han Jian's rejection of him, now that he was the first minister, and his daughter finally had the title of being named a concubine, his status in the court should be rising, but the suppression of him by the faction of the Eastern Wangfu was increasing day by day, he wanted to support his name as the first hero of the new emperor, and it was also for the sake of his own interests and his family in the future, but Han Jian did not give him such an opportunity.

Most of the matters discussed by the imperial court were related to the war in the north. The reward is still in progress for the time being, and after the local autumn grain requisition, there are also deficits and deficits in many places, which Han Jian can predict in advance.

Han Jian also hopes to reach a collegiate agreement with the Southern Dynasty temporarily, at least in the short term, it is not wise to fight with the Southern Dynasty, which will let the people of the north be dragged down, if the war can be won in one battle, it is fine, if the war is to drag on, the south is far above the north with its existing national strength, and the war is likely to be reversed. No matter how brave and good the northern soldiers are, they can't go to the battlefield hungry, and relying on Su Tingxia's set of fighting to feed the war is not suitable for the current war environment.

After the recital of Ye'an Pavilion ended, the courtiers left the palace one after another, and Han Jian did not leave any ministers to ask questions as usual. After leaving Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian went straight to the inner garden of the palace, after a period of repair and tidying, the palace courtyard has returned to normal, and Han Jian can be regarded as inspecting his new home. Although the women in the Dongwang Mansion are also a little reluctant to move into the palace, how to say that Han Jian is now the emperor, as the emperor's concubine, she is no longer a simple princess, but for the sake of the dignity of the whole country. Some pomp and rules that should have been there still have to be there. (To be continued......)
