Ning Xiuyan asked the maid to make tea and she brought it personally, Han Jian picked up the teacup, and when he touched the hot tea, he didn't bother to eat it. He is now pouring Ning Yuan to drink some herbal tea to extinguish the fire, recently he has been busy with official affairs and some things around him have turned upside down, and his mood is a little irritable.

"Could it be that the master thinks that the tea here is not good for the concubine?" Ning Xiuyan's face sank slightly, as if annoyed, and said. But as he spoke, his body still leaned over, and Han Jian stretched out his hand and took him into his arms.

Han Jian said: "In a few days, I will prepare to pick you up and Shun'er, and Xiuxiu will enter the Dongwang Mansion." ”

Ning Xiuyan got up from Han Jian's arms again and said, "Don't you go." ”

"How?" Han Jian was a little surprised, in the past, Ning Xiuyan was most concerned about not having a name, but now he offered to take Ning Xiuyan into the mansion, Ning Xiuyan didn't look very happy, and it was not a disguise.

Ning Xiuyan sat on the chair on the side, looked at Han Jian and said with a smile: "It's good for the master to remember the concubine in his heart, isn't it the same everywhere?" It's good everywhere here, I'm used to living just now, if I enter the Dongwang Mansion, I will be constrained everywhere, and I can't live with Shun'er and the county lord like sisters, so it's really better to stay here and be free. ”

Han Jian nodded slightly, Ning Xiuyan only wanted a name, not to enter the Dongwang Mansion. But once he has a name, he has to enter the East Palace, Han Jian is not the emperor, and he can't divide his inner house into the East Palace and the West Palace, even if he can be the emperor in the future, but his women still have to live in the palace. Now Ning Xiuyan is in charge of himself, although this courtyard is smaller, but when he enters the deep mansion compound of the East Wangfu, Ning Xiuyan can get a smaller place, and he is even more uncomfortable.

"Let's get back to that." Han Jian sighed and said.

Ning Xiuyan said: "The master doesn't go to rest? Remembering the master's words, I didn't inform Shun'er's girl, the girl has been clingy recently, I'm afraid that if she knows that the master is coming, she will have to pester the master. I know that the master is not in the mood to come. ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "You will think about it for me." ”

Ning Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled: "The master just came from elsewhere to make trouble. But the concubine can see that the master is happy, if she doesn't even understand the master's heart, then the concubine is not worthy of staying here. ”

Ning Xiuyan was still a little sad when she said this, although she was now resigned to her fate and never resisted anything, she still had some nostalgia in her heart. Fortunately, Han Jian is also polite to her, and even if he comes over, he will not use the identity of the East King to pressure her. It made her feel like a husband and wife with Han Jian.

Han Jian didn't say anything more, watched Ning Xiuyan embroider for a while, and then entered the room with Ning Xiuyan. After entering the room, there is no joy in the bed, but simply put clothes together and go to bed.

When they got up the next day, Ning Shun'er and Yang Xiuxiu knew that Han Jian had spent the night here last night, and Yang Xiuxiu wouldn't say anything, but Ning Shun'er's face was not very good, and she looked at Ning Xiuyan with a little grievance, as if she was blaming Ning Xiuyan for not telling her to get up.

"My master was busy with business last night. Just come and sleep for the night, and deliberately ask me not to disturb you. Look at your appearance, let the master see what kind of system it has become? Ning Xiuyan said the words that she had thought of a long time ago.

Although it was a lie, she knew that Han Jian would definitely not expose her. Han Jian just smiled and didn't say anything on the side, but sat down together and had breakfast together before leaving.

Han Jian did not go back to the Dongwang Mansion, but asked people to go back and spread the word that he would go back in the evening, but in fact, he avoided seeing Han Song. In Han Jian's opinion, Han Song's posture is getting closer and closer to opposing Yang Rui, if it is allowed to develop. It won't be long before Han Songshi will really push him to the throne and oust Yang Rui. Han Jian was conflicted. One is Erniang, who raised herself, and the other is his woman, and it is difficult to choose between left and right. If you want to blame Han Song, Han Song's family did all this for him, and his loyalty to him was obviously higher than that of the empress who was angry with him all day long.

As soon as Han Jian arrived at the yamen of the military station, a pile of battle reports was handed over.

The intelligence system of the East Prince's Mansion is very complete. And there are three systems. One is the military system, where there are generals and local guards who transmit information to Luoyang, and most of this information will not only be known to the Eastern Palace, but most of them will also be submitted to the military department. The second system is the unique intelligence system of the Dongwangfu that Da Xiliu is responsible for, and this system has been built by Han Jian for three years. Nowadays, there are 20,000 or 30,000 people in the field, and if you add the eyeliner planted in some places, the number will be even more, and most of them are not professional in detail, they will just inform the person responsible for collecting the information in the way of "selling" the information they know in the locality, and if it is confirmed to be true, they will charge a commission according to the urgency of the information, which also saves the expenses of the Dongwang Mansion, and does not need to feed so many people to achieve the purpose of the world's eyeliner.

The third intelligence system Han Jian is still under construction, and the number of personnel is gradually increasing, although this intelligence system is independent of the second intelligence system, but in general, it is comparable to the second system, except that Han Jian is used as a defense. Han Jian didn't want to hang everything on a tree, and if the intelligence system was sabotage, he could also have a backup plan.

In addition to these three fixed intelligence systems, Han Jian can also use Li Yun and even Mrs. Luo to find out some special information, or ask them to verify. There are more intelligence systems, and the information obtained has increased, and Han Jian needs to sort out and make trade-offs, and some things are prone to two completely different kinds of information, some of which are poorly obtained, and more of which are misinterpreted because of timeliness. All of this has to be considered by him.

In the morning, Han Jian has a lot of things to sort out, and there is still a military meeting to be held before noon, and now the Xianbei people are in a short truce, because the imperial court of the old land of Xiliang has completely abandoned, and only the garrison soldiers and horses of Yangguan and the main passes have been retained, and now the Xianbei people will target these passes in the next step. That's the majority opinion.

And the Xianbei people do not necessarily have to knock on the pass, the real barrier in the pass is the pass, but there are still a lot of passages in itself, the Xianbei cavalry comes and goes without a trace, even if they spare the pass to kill into the pass, the defenders of the pass almost do not dare to fight head-on, the result is that the soldiers and horses can only be stationed in the city or the pass, and watching the Xianbei cavalry loot and kill the people all the way, if the front is low, with the majority of the defenders in the pass for the infantry lineup, I am afraid that it will not be able to compete.

At present, the focus of the military meeting is on how to defend the passes and the key points of the city. There is an example of the Xianbei people attacking Liangzhou before, and everyone thinks that the Xianbei people will take every step. Step by step, we will move steadily to Guanzhong. And Han Jian was more worried about the rebels in Guanzhong.

In the final analysis, the reason why the Xianbei people gave up invading the Central Plains from Beiguan and chose Guanzhong as a breakthrough was because the rebels in Guanzhong echoed their contact from afar. The number of rebels in Guanzhong is small, and now they are basically retreating to a corner, but if this rebel army cannot be completely eliminated. The defenders in the pass are two-sided, looking forward and not looking back.

After the military meeting, Han Jian briefly sorted it out, according to the past, he should enter the palace to explain the situation to Yang Rui, and then discuss with Yang Rui about the next military arrangements.

When Han Jian left the yamen of the military station, he found that the city was full of excitement. Now that there is still one day before the Shangyuan Festival, the city has begun to prepare for the festive celebration of the Shangyuan Festival. Han Jian could also feel a comfortable atmosphere of the people when he walked on the road.

Suddenly, something seemed to be happening in front of us, a group of people gathered together, and there were many people watching. The guard said, "Young boy, there are some people blocking the road ahead. I'm afraid that something will happen, do you send someone to disperse it? ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "No need. Let's take a detour! ”

The streets of Luoyang are also accessible in all directions, and Han Jian can walk a lot if he wants to enter the palace.

When Han Jian arrived at the gate of the palace, he was about to enter the palace, but he saw Ning Yuan coming over in a hurry and saw Han Jian giving a salute.

"Why is Ning Shangshu so alarmed?" Han Jian looked at Ning Yuan, who had a strange face, and asked.

Ning Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "The East King hasn't heard of it yet? Shangshutai Cheng Li Long was killed on the way to the palace. In front of so many people, thieves are also bold! ”

Han Jian thought about it, could it be that the reason why he blocked the road before was that Li Long was killed on the road?

This Li Long Han Jian is not very familiar. But the person who knew that it was Lin Ke's faction was when Lin Ke was the minister of Lingshang Shutai. was once one of Lin Ke's right and left hands. But now Li Long is just a Shangshutai Cheng, and this official position is like Shangshutai is responsible for sorting out the documents of the copy, and is responsible for copying and recording the emperor's recital notes, and does not have the power to participate in opinions.

Such a person should not be killed because of political struggle, but probably because of personal grudges. But after all, the courtiers were killed in broad daylight. Or in a densely populated place, things are a little special.

Han Jian and Ning Yuan arrived at Ye'an Pavilion before and after, and Yang Rui was reading the recitals from some places in Ye'an Pavilion at this time. Han Jian had also seen it before, and it was all some of the recitals for the New Year, as well as the gift lists of tributes presented by the localities. Han Jian also knew that some of the gift orders were withheld by Han Song's family.

"Husband, I came quite early today." Yang Rui said a word, but found that a very eye-catching guy followed Han Fitness. Her "husband" was also heard by Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan looked embarrassed and hurriedly bypassed Han Jian and stepped forward to salute. Yang Rui's attitude is very unfriendly, she has always had opinions on Ning Yuan, after all, this was pulled up by Han Jian, Ning Yuan was the one who assisted Yang Yu at the beginning, that is, a traitor, and now many of Yang Yu's old party at that time were the head of Ning Yuan, but Ning Yuan also sent his daughter and granddaughter to Han Jianjian, which Yang Rui could not tolerate.

"Why did Ning Shangshu come here in a hurry?" Yang Rui asked in an unkind tone.

"Back to Your Majesty, Shangshutai Cheng Li Long...... He was assassinated on his way to the palace. Ning Yuan said cautiously.

"Li Long?" Yang Rui thought about it, and then remembered who it was, although Li Long had a respected status when Lin Ke was in power, but at that time Yang Rui basically didn't ask about political affairs, she was still familiar with this name, but she really had to think about who it was.

"Why did he come to the palace?" Yang Rui asked, "I didn't summon him, and I didn't know that he had something to do. ”

"This ......" Ning Yuan glanced at Han Jian, "The old minister doesn't know. ”

Ning Yuan looked at Han Jian as if there was a special meaning in it, Yang Rui frowned and looked at Han Jian, and asked, "Do you know the East King?" ”

"I don't know." Han Jianxin said that this Ning Yuan probably had some secret hidden in his heart, and he probably knew what not to say to his face.

Yang Rui put down the notebook in his hand and said, "Then forget it." If he is dead, he is dead, and he went to the Tingwei Mansion to find out the cause of this matter and give an explanation to the people of the capital. If anyone is killed on the way, remember to come to the palace and inform me. ”

Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, listening to the meaning of Yang Rui's words, it would not be just Li Long who would die. He still received the order: "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "If Ning Shangshu has nothing else to do, he will step back, and I still have something to say to the East King." If there is something to do, go outside and wait. ”

Ning Yuan hurriedly said: "The old minister has nothing else to do, so he will leave the palace." After speaking, he hurriedly retreated, afraid that he would disturb Han Jian and Yang Rui to say something quiet.

When the people left, Yang Rui was a little dissatisfied and said: "People don't remind them when they come, is it good to let the concubine lose face in front of the courtiers?" ”

Han Jian knew that Yang Rui felt ashamed because of the "husband" just now, Han Jian sat down and said, "You and I are husband and wife, doesn't Ning Shangshu know?" ”

Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian, casually flipped through the book in front of him and said: "I have basically read the books that come from all over the country, and I have reported good news but not bad news, I heard that the locust plague in Shandong last year was serious, but there was no mention of it in the locality. ”

Han Jian said: "This kind of thing is well known, isn't it all deception?" ”

Yang Rui said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite insightful, when Concubine Yu was in power, you should have deceived your superiors and subordinates, right?" ”

Han Jian ignored this kind of words, Yang Rui was a little annoyed when he saw Han Jian ignoring him, and then asked, "What happened to Li Long?" He is a small Shangshutaicheng, who does he have to put him to death if he offends someone? ”

Han Jian said: "If the expectation is not bad, it should be related to the reason why he entered the palace." Let people find out who he has been getting close to recently, or find out the clues. ”

"Say it early." Yang Rui sighed, "Ning Lao'er is gone, if he is here, let him tell the Tingwei Mansion, the concubine seems that he knows a little about this and does not report it." After all, Shang Shutai Cheng is also obedient to him, if he has something inconvenient to enter the palace to communicate, he may find someone to come. ”

Han Jian listened to the meaning of Yang Rui's words, it was Li Long and Ning Yuan who colluded together. But as far as Han Jian knows, Li Long has always been Lin Ke's person.

Yang Rui felt that the matter was related to Ning Yuan, while Han Jian felt that it should be a continuation of Lin Ke's local attack.

Han Jian did not express his opinion, Li Long died very suddenly, a person who was originally inconspicuous in the court, no one would care about the life and death of a Shangshutaicheng, but now he is really dying in the streets of Luoyang, and he is seen by so many people, and the people are afraid of it.
