Sima asked for peace by saluting, he naturally didn't know what the rules were, and the salute was also so-so, and he said long live with the singer.

The empress smiled and said: "Sima Gongzi is a talent, and he is indeed a tiger who will go out of the door, and your father is also a pillar of my Wei Dynasty." ”

Sima Yi knelt on the ground and grinned: "Your Majesty is too famous, Your Majesty is too famous." ”

The empress glanced at Han Jian with a smile again, and said, "The East King has such good friends and friends, and the ruling party will definitely do something in the future." ”

Han Jianxin said that Sima Yi is also a good helper, but unfortunately Sima Daxia wants to walk the rivers and lakes and stand with a sword, where is to assist him as the king of the east? When the empress said this, Han Jian could only reply with a calm expression: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”

But in my heart I didn't think so.

After the empress finished praising Sima Yi, she turned to look at the king of the north who was held on the ground, and said, "Uncle Huang, I saw him at the palace banquet back then, and I haven't seen Uncle Huang for more than ten years. ”

King Bei sneered: "Speaking of which, the old man hasn't seen the emperor's niece for more than ten years, how are you doing lately?" I heard that you are still Yunying unmarried, but waiting for the old man to be a matchmaker for you to match a marriage? ”

"Presumptuous!" When Yu Han next to him heard this, he had to stand up and shout. The king of the north said this can be said to be extremely arrogant, and he dared to talk about the queen's marriage, and said disrespectful words, which was not afraid of death at all.

"There is no need to make a fuss about the subordinates." The empress was very generous in this matter, and said with a smile, "After all, Uncle Huang is my elder, and it is normal for elders to care about the marriage of younger generations. But Uncle Huang. If you lead troops to rebel without authorization, you are an elder, and I can't spare it. What does Uncle Huang think about this? ”

"You ask the old man what he thinks? Haha, the king is defeated and defeated, the old man is just for the Wei Dynasty to prevent it from being lost in the hands of women and children like you, what's wrong? If you want to be convicted, just convict, and the old man will never frown. ”

The empress didn't say anything more, but instead looked at Sima Yi and asked Sima Yu about the details of capturing the Northern King alive.

Sima Yi was waiting to show off in front of the empress. Asked by the Empress. couldn't help but start talking, he was also very acquainted, and knew that there were some things that should not be said, so he started directly after the messenger who connected with the king of the north left Luoyang by boat.

“…… The Northern King's army was in turmoil. Our boat had just crossed the channel and entered the Yellow River. On the other side of the river, he saw a troop of cavalry fleeing in a hurry. I pretend I'm with them. Then the ship came to shore, and they came, and we were unprepared when they got on board. Take him down directly......"

What Sima Yi said was very exaggerated, and some details were not very detailed. Based on the previous battle report, Han Jian also roughly understood the details.

After the Beiwang crossed the river and was blocked, and ordered to withdraw the troops, the Beiwang army was like a plate of scattered sand and collapsed. At this time, the imperial army on the south bank of the Yellow River also crossed the river to counterattack at the right time, so as to completely disrupt the defensive formation of the Northern Wang Army.

The king of the north, who tried to murder a horse pistol, did not lead the troops to flee at the first time, but this time he stuck to the front line, but was scattered by his own soldiers and horses, so he had to flee downstream along the river, but he met Sima Yu, who crossed the Yellow River from the waterway, and was picked up by Sima Yu.

After this battle, most of the 30,000 cavalry who went south with the king of the north have been defeated and fled, and only a small number of them fled to Changdi with the king of Xiaobei, Yang Ke, with the imperial army crossing the Yellow River, the king of Xiaobei did not stay in Changdi City for a long time, but continued to flee with his department. That is to say, as long as the court does not take back the fief of the Northern King, there will still be a small Northern King in the fief of the Northern King to confront the imperial court, and now, the contradiction has been made public, and it is no longer possible to maintain peace as before.

Han Jian also knew that after this incident, the momentum of the Northern Wangjun would inevitably be damaged, and the Xianbei people would really take the opportunity to go south, and the Xiaobei King was desperate and was likely to cooperate with the Xianbei people, establish himself as a country or even a vassal of the Xianbei country, and give up a large area of land on the north bank of the Yellow River. It will still be troublesome for the imperial court to deal with it.

After listening to Sima Yi's story, the empress was silent for a long time, and said: "Uncle Huang is my own uncle, who has guarded the frontier for my Wei Dynasty for many years, and has no merit and hard work. He was escorted to his apartment in the capital by the Investigation Division and the Criminal Investigation Division, where he was guarded and lived, and was not allowed to have any contact with the outside world. The clothes and decorations are still ......"

After the empress finished speaking, Han Jian was slightly surprised. Is the empress ready to let go of the North King?

It took so much effort to solve the threat of the Northern King to the imperial court, but if he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he wouldn't be afraid of the resurgence of the Northern King in the future? Or does the empress feel that she can sit back and relax when she puts the Northern King in the custody circle?

"Your Majesty thinks twice." Han Jian was the first to express a different opinion and asked for his life.

"King Dong, I know your intentions, and it is also for the good of the court, but I don't want to live up to the emperor's entrustment to me, and I want to rule the world with leniency. Uncle Huang, if you can meditate on your body and meditate on your own mistakes, I believe you can turn back. ”

Han Jian was extremely depressed in his heart, and the empress of feelings actually wanted to return to the mountains for the sake of some so-called current situation and reputation. Han Jian remembered that after entering the capital, he was busy with fraud cases, thoroughly investigating corruption and deficit cases without evidence, and then risking being misunderstood by the empress or even being killed to quell the military mutiny in the guard station, but in the end it was such a result, which made Han Jian very unhappy. Now the empress said what "turning back is the shore", this is the "height" that the Buddhist family has, the empress is a cultivator, the Manchu Wei Dynasty is a cultivator, Han Jianxin said, does the empress want to be a nun who has no quarrel with the world?

Han Jian's heart was full of opinions, but he also knew that it was useless to say it. Now the empress is focusing on the Xiaobei King and the Xianbei people, and detaining the Beiwang in the capital, the empress must have other plans. This doesn't matter to Han Jian anymore.

Han Jian has felt physically and mentally exhausted by now, not only to quell the chaos, but also to face the empress's doubts and reprimands, he also feels very tired, it's time to calm down and take a good rest.

The empress said, "King Dong, you take your people back first, and I will reward them as appropriate." ”

"Thank you." Han Jian saluted and said, but he didn't care in his heart. If he was for a reward, he would not have such a big opinion about the empress letting go of the king of the north.

Han Jian took Sima Yi and the guards of the East Wangfu who escorted the Northern King into the palace out of Ye'an Pavilion, and at this time, Yang Yu, the third prince in military uniform, was returning with several generals to report to the empress.

Han Jian has learned that yesterday Yang Yu was ordered by the empress to quell the rebellion in the army, and then sniped the Beiwang army to cross the river to the south, and then launched a counteroffensive to completely break up the Beiwang army, which was a great achievement. In the face of such military feats, the credit that Yang Xi received before was not worth mentioning.

Seeing Yang Yu this time, Han Jian also felt that Yang Yu was a lot more arrogant, especially in front of him, Yang Yu deliberately straightened his body and looked at him with a sneer, as if he was demonstrating to him.

Waiting for the two parties to staggered by, Han Jian thought about things while leading people to the palace Yingtianmen to put down.

"Proud of what?" Sima Yu on the side said disdainfully, "If it weren't for the young son, you arranged it in a good way and cut off the back road of the North King, he could defeat the North King's army so lightly?" Now run in front of us to show off his might, hmph, no matter how proud he is, he is not a prince......"

Han Jian sighed and didn't say anything.

Although Yang Xi is now the crown prince, and the rebellion of the Northern King has come to an end for the time being, the empress does not seem to have the intention of summoning Yang Xi back, and will continue to send Yang Xi to Southern Qi as an envoy. Because the matter of the North King has not been completely resolved, there are also the Little North King and the Xianbei people, as well as the West King, who is also deeply hidden. The current situation has become even more tense as the North King was captured alive and the Little North King fled alone.

When he was in Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian didn't understand the empress's decision. But after coming out, after calming down and thinking clearly, Han Jian also felt that what the empress did was understandable.

The empress left King Bei alive to keep a "hostage" to make King Xiaobei fearful. Even if the little king of the north is ready to inherit the mantle of the king of the north and continue to embark on the road of rebellion against the court, he will be afraid of his father who is still alive in the capital. Although the Empress doesn't have to actually play this card. The biggest role of this card is still a threat to the little North King, kill the North King, Yang Ke will have no worries.

"Do you have any news about the situation over there?" Han Jian asked.

"Young boy, the Northern King's army is in turmoil in its own rear, it should be Mrs. Luo's people, right? Or is it someone else? Not to mention, since yesterday, Mrs. Love's people seem to have disappeared, and there is no news at all. Sima Yu's face changed slightly, "Young boy, do you think that Mrs. Luo will have two hearts, take advantage of the chaos in the capital, and run away again?" ”

"She won't." Han Jian sneered.

"Why?" Sima Yu looked puzzled, "Young boy, sometimes you also believe too much in a woman surnamed Luo. Young boy, don't forget, that woman has never been married until now, she doesn't even care about the reputation of being his father's mistress, how can she do things for you wholeheartedly, young boy? ”

Han Jian said: "Listen to what you mean, do you have an opinion on a woman who is not married?" ”

Sima Yi blinked, and immediately realized that Han Jian was talking about the empress among the people. Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, young man, I didn't mean that." I'm just talking about Mrs. Luo, after all, he is a person from Xiliang, and his heart will be different if he is not of my race. ”

"The reason I say she won't is because Mrs. Lowe is a wise woman, and she knows how to get the most out of her." Han Jian said, "She follows the people of the old department of Xiliang to make a career, she is at most just a chess piece, used by those old nobles of Xiliang, to the point that she has no value, she will be abandoned like a shoe." ”

Sima Yu said: "Then what can she get by following the young son?" Is she so ambitious? ”

Han Jian smiled: "You underestimate Mrs. Luo, her ambition may be greater than that of any person in the old department of Xiliang, and she even has the ambition to be the emperor." This is exactly what the people in the old department of Xiliang do not allow, but I don't care about this. (To be continued......)
