Chapter 545: Old Father-in-law

Fighting another battle against the wind is the most courageous decision Han Jian has made in the past few months. It was also a regret in Han Jian's heart that he had not been able to take advantage of the victory before, and this time he sent troops to make up for the regret. But in general, the prospects for sending troops are still not very rosy.

This time the dispatch of troops should be sudden, it is a blitzkrieg, and it must not be dragged into the mud and water, which is what Han Jian emphasized when he gave Lin Zhan and Su Tingxia military orders, because the imperial court is short of materials, and this war can only be carried out in the way of fighting and raising war. Plunder through the guΓ² war for supplies, and then the guΓ² war for consumption.

After Han Jian arranged this, he did not inform the imperial military department and their people in the military station, Lin Zhan led a cavalry team of about 2,000 people to the front line of the Yellow River in the name of patrolling. Lin Zhan acted as a backup in this battle, and the front line was not at a critical juncture, so he would not lead troops to appear on the battlefield.

"Jian'er, your decision is too reckless!"

When Han Jian told Han Cuishi about this, Han Cuishi reprimanded him unceremoniously.

Han Jian also listened honestly, and he also knew that his decision was very reckless. After being transferred back to most of the troops in Dongwangfu, in the case of extremely scarce military food and materials, he actually decided to take the initiative to send troops.

"Sanniang, now that I have decided, the military order cannot be taken back, if you feel angry, scold a few words, and then dissipate your anger." Han Jian said in a humble tone.

Han Cuishi sighed: "What's the use of scolding you? However, it is also a good thing to send troops, at least it can relieve some of the pressure. Your second mother asked me to come over this time, mainly to help you take care of the military and politics, but ...... You are still too stubborn sometimes, if only you could listen to the advice of others. You didn't discuss this matter in advance, if you Jiuniang is here, maybe it will be better. ”

Although Han Cuishi is very experienced in managing military and political affairs, she can't go into battle in armor after all. However, Han Jian's Jiuniang Han Zhao has the ability to lead troops into battle.

"How are you going to fight this battle?" Seeing that Han Jian didn't speak, Han Cuishi continued to ask.

Han Jian said with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to ask General Su, he will fight how he decides, I won't interfere too much." ”

Han Cuishi scolded: "Aren't you lacking in heart? The one surnamed Sue. It's just a nobody under the command of Nanwangfu, and your transfer of him out to lead the troops has already made the following complain, and now you are still letting him lead the troops to the battle, so isn't it going to turn against the sky below? It's okay to just complain a few words one by one, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will deviate from morality, and the people below will come out against you, see how you clean up the mess! ”

Han Jian looked humbly taught, and he didn't contradict it. This is not quite the same as Han Jian's usual personality. Originally, Han Cuishi wanted to continue scolding, but in the end he couldn't scold.

"You go and report to your majesty first, your majesty has not seen anyone behind closed doors these days, isn't it that you haven't even said anything about it?" Han Cui said.

"Sanniang is too worried, Majesty XiΓ  is actually ...... Now he is not in the palace. Han Jian said honestly.

"What did you say?" Han Cui's was shocked, she had already felt that something was not right in Luoyang City, she had been in Luoyang for less than half a month, and she hadn't even seen Yang Rui's face. Now that the Dongwang Mansion is the head of the imperial court, it stands to reason that Yang Rui should receive her as soon as possible. Now listen to Han Jian. Only then did she feel that the problem was unusual, "Where did Your Majesty go?" ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't know." ”

"Your Majesty is missing again?" After seeing Han Jian nodding, Han Cuishi was a little flustered and said nervously, "Tell me about you, you didn't even look at your majesty." Let His Majesty leave again. Now that there is another war, as soon as this rumor comes out, the court will be in chaos, do you think this is still in Jiangdu, your own place. How do you want to get it? These officials in Luoyang are different from those who go to Jiangdu, they are all arrogant, and if they make a little trouble, they may stab you in the back, you ...... I really can't even scold you. ”

Han Cuishi paused, and then asked, "Have you looked for it over there?" ”

"I found it, but I couldn't find it." Han Jian said.

"I don't think you're looking for it. I'm going to write to your Erniang, let your Erniang know, and see how to teach you! Han Cui said as if threatening.

Han Jian stopped Han Cuishi and said, "Sanniang, listen to me." You write to Erniang now, and it is uncertain when the news will be transmitted back to Jiangdu, and the news may be intercepted on the way. Now there is no chaos in Luoyang, does Sanniang want to watch Luoyang City in chaos? ”

Han Cuishi thought about it, but if such a big thing happened and even Han Songshi didn't tell him, she would feel that she had not done her duty.

Han Jian continued: "Sanniang thinks this will be successful? Why don't we find someone else to pretend to be His Majesty and sit in the palace for a while. Anyway, His Majesty said that he would come back in ten days and a half months, and he had been gone for ten days this time, and he could come back at a glance, as long as he survived these two days, as soon as His Majesty came back, it was not nothing? ”

"You can't figure it out!" Han Cuishi scolded angrily, "It's not messy enough to find a stand-in for His Majesty when you are in Jiangdu? Still want to play with it? Sue sΓΉ you, there is no door. You kid honestly take care of the military and politics, these things, Sanniang has her own measure! If you're talking nonsense, look at me...... How to teach you! ”

When Han Jian was young, Han Cui's could also threaten Han Jian with beating, but now it's different, Han Jian is already old, and now she even has an heir, and she can't say some threatening words. Now that I threaten a little, I feel that I am losing my proportion.

Han Jian honestly didn't say anything to Han Cui's anymore, and went directly to the military station to make some pre-war arrangements. In order to keep it secret, Han Jian didn't even tell some veterans of the Eastern Wangfu in the military yamen about the upcoming war.

In the afternoon, Han Jian was still busy working in the military station, and someone came to report that the second batch of convoys from Jiangdu to Luoyang had arrived.

Han Jian could only put down what he was doing to greet him, and the first team to come was led by Han Cui's and Han Zhao's, including Han Jian's relatives. In the second batch of convoys, as long as some old nobles in Luoyang came back to collect houses and land, many of them had nothing to do with Han Jian, and among these people, Han Jian had to greet him, and only Gu Xin'er's father, Gu Weipan, was alone.

Han Jian personally rode to the east gate of Luoyang with his entourage, and at this time the convoy had just arrived and was still going through the formalities of the city gate. After all, there are quite a few people in the convoy, and there are many soldiers and horses guarding Cining Palace, all of which need to be properly arranged. Han Jian came here in the name of arranging these accompanying escorts, but in fact, he came to greet Gu Weipan's family who came from afar.

Because Luoyang had lifted martial law earlier, the city gate would be open for more than an hour in the afternoon, and the city gate was also the most lively at this time.

At the east gate, Gu Weipan's carriage was very ordinary, Gu Weipan's family took two carriages, Gu Weipan not only brought Gu Song and Mrs. Xue over, but also only brought his son Gu Wen and a few maidservants. Among the many luxury carriages, it is not at all an eyesore. However, Han Jian still singled out Gu Weipan from many people at a glance, mainly because of Gu Weipan's temperament, and he knew that he was not a vegetarian at a glance.

"Mrs. Gu, it's been a long time." Han Jian smiled and stepped forward.

"I've seen the East King." Gu Weipan's body looked very clear, the injuries he suffered from the previous assassination had probably healed, and the whole person looked lonely and arrogant, and he was not angry and arrogant.

Seeing Han Jian, Gu Song's and Mrs. Xue, who were beside Gu Weipan, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"It's all a family, so why be polite." Han Jian said with a smile, "Xin'er has arrived in Luoyang safely earlier, and tonight we will go to the Dongwang Mansion together and have a family banquet together." As for the Gu Mansion, someone has already been asked to clean it up, and Mrs. Gu can go back at any time. ”

Gu Weipan smiled and nodded, he was still very satisfied with Han Jian's arrangement.

Although he seemed to have nothing to do when he returned to Jiangdu this time, after all, he was covered by the king of the east, and as soon as he came back, he could take back the mansion and the former farmhouse, which would save him a lot of trouble. As for the other big families, although they can return to Luoyang, they still have to deal with the imperial court and the Dongwang Mansion in handling the handover, and it is difficult to say when they will be able to recover the former farmhouse, but no matter what, it will not be able to restore the original glory.

Han Jian got on the horse and asked people to escort the Gu family's carriage to the door of the Dongwang Mansion, because someone had been sent back earlier to inform that Han Cui's had already brought Gu Xin'er and Wen'er out to greet her, and it was rare that Yang Li'er had also arrived at the door.

When Gu Weipan got off the carriage and saw Yang Li'er's belly, he probably knew what was going on. As an old courtier of the imperial court, he did not seem to have any regrets, although he also knew that it might be related to the problem of the prince of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. However, Gu Xin'er's mother, Gu Song, has been looking at Yang Li'er's stomach intentionally or unintentionally, as if she is holding grievances for her daughter.

A family banquet in the evening is also a pleasure. After the dinner, Han Jian first asked Gu Weipan's family to go back to the house, and left Gu Weipan alone to talk about things, and Gu Xin'er and Yang Li'er also returned to the room earlier. Han Cuishi seemed to realize that Han Jian was going to say something about the war and chose to stay.

"Mrs. Gu, when you return to Luoyang this time, you will recuperate for some time first. In the future, if Mrs. Gu cares about the court and can still serve the court, I hope that Mrs. Gu can also return to the court and contribute to the country. Han Jian said.

Gu Weipan sighed with emotion: "People are old, and they are a little powerless. This time, I still don't want to think about the affairs of the court, and the king of the east doesn't need to persuade the old man, so the old man will live at home for some time......"

"What Mrs. Gu said is a little wrong." Han Jian didn't say anything, but Han Cuishi on the side interjected first, "Now that there is no Taifu Gu in the imperial court, those ghosts, snakes, and gods in the imperial court will all come out to rebel." Whether there is a Gu Taifu in the imperial court, the difference is not small! (Want to know more exciting news about "The Best Little Princess"?)
