After a night of wind and snow, the temperature dropped a lot. Han Jian opened the door from the room and walked out of the room, and he couldn't help but feel this coldness.

"Husband, it's good to wear more clothes and go out." Gu Xin'er came forward from behind and helped Han Jian put on a big hat.

"It's fine." Han Jian looked at the sky, the snow had been falling since he left the palace yesterday, but he didn't expect it to fall overnight. I can't help but sigh in my heart, the winter of this era is really cold.

All the way to the door, the Dongwang Mansion was very lively, and the people came out to clear the snow, and even Han Song's family got up early.

"Jian'er, if you're not in a hurry, you can stay first, Jiang Du has some things for you to deal with."

Han Songshi greeted Han Jian and let Han Jian enter the main hall before motioning for Han Jian to sit down.

Looking at Han Song's appearance, it seems that the matter is not small, and it is not something that can be said in a few words.

"What?" Han Jian was in a hurry to go to the yamen of the military station, and now I don't know if it will snow in the northern part of Luoyang, once there is snow, it will mean that the dispatch of the front line will be more difficult, and it will also need to raise more winter clothes and grain and grass, which is a big test for war logistics.

Han Songshi took out a piece of things and said: "The assessment of local officials in Jiangdu should have been personally presided over by you, the king of the east, but now there is no one in Jiangdu to preside over the overall situation, so you can only report the local situation to Luoyang." Some things have been delayed too much, and the local people can't make up their minds......"

"Erniang might as well speak up if she has something to say." Han Jian listened to Han Song's words, which was obviously something to say.

"Since you say so, then Erniang won't go around in circles with you. Now Jiangdu is presided over by you Jiuniang, but she is only responsible for the garrison and has no right to be involved in politics. Now I need a letter of appointment from you to ask Jiu Niang to help take care of Jiangdu's affairs. It also saves you a lot of effort. What do you think? ”

After Han Songshi finished speaking, he looked at Han Jian, meaning to ask for Han Jian's meaning.

Originally, Han Jian didn't think so. Originally, now his Jiuniang Han Zhao clan is in Jiangdu, and the affairs of Jiangdu are basically handled by her. However, there is a basic problem, no matter what Han Zhao does, he has to report to Luoyang, although many things are just reported after the fact and let him know. Now give Han Zhao the power to "act cheaply". It seems to be said in the past.

But Han Jian also felt that something was wrong. This may also be the reason why Yang Rui often blows the wind in his ear.

Mainly because of Han Zhao's background identity, she was the maid of Concubine Dongwang, and her own origin is a mystery, and even Yang Rui's investigation has no results. In addition, Han Jian's father Han Qi may still be alive, and there is a possibility of supporting Prince Yan Ning, so Yang Rui naturally asked Han Jian to be more wary of Han Zhao's family, so as not to have any connection between Han Zhao's family and Han Qi.

At the beginning, Han Jian also felt that this logic was a bit nonsense, after all, Han Zhao was his mother's maidservant. What does it have to do with his father? But Yang Rui said that there were some things that he couldn't say that he didn't take precautions at all, if Han Zhao's clan really had something to do with Prince Yan Ning's remnants, so that Han Zhao's clan would control the military and political power of Jiangdu, the consequences might be unimaginable.

"Let me think about it." Han Jian said, "Some things are still very busy, I'll give you an answer for Erniang in the past two days." ”

When Han Song saw that Han Jian was leaving, he was dissatisfied: "That's your Jiuniang." Are you greedy for power now, and you won't even give up such power? ”

"What did Erniang say? I'm talking about things. Isn't it true that if you don't give Jiu Niang power now, Jiu Niang can't act cheaply? Han Jian's tone also said coldly.

"But at the local level, there is always supervision, which will make it impossible to issue orders, and it will take a lot of time to pass the examination level. You are the king of the east. Don't even know that? Do you still need Erniang to remind you? ”

Han Jian said lightly: "It's better to have supervision than no supervision, and I will send someone to be responsible for the assessment of local officials." Erniang can put her heart in her stomach for these things. ”

Han Song's anger stomped his feet, but now Han Jian is the king of the east. Without Han Jian's approval, she couldn't make decisions about many things privately.

Han Jian left the Dongwang Mansion and went to the yamen of the military station to think about this question, whether to give power to Han Zhao's family.

After thinking about it, the key point is still in the vein of Prince Yan Ning. Come to think of it, a person has been ignored by him for a long time, and in these days in Luoyang, he is so busy that he has very little time to take a break, so naturally he will not care about Yang Qingle, the granddaughter of the king of Yanning County.

"Tell me to go down, what is the situation on the front line, and send the news to the Wu'an Institute first. The king has to deal with it in advance and come back in an hour or two. ”

Han Jian confessed, and then took the guards out of the yamen of the military station.

The place where Yang Qingle is imprisoned is a big secret in Luoyang. And what Han Jian mainly wants to hide is Yang Rui.

After Yang Rui knew that Yang Qingle had a great relationship with Prince Yan Ning, he always remembered to kill this little niece to avoid future troubles. But Han Jian has been protecting her, not that Han Jian thinks Yang Qing is a good place to live, but that he wants to do it after investigating the truth of the matter.

"Young boy." The one in charge of guarding Yang Qingle is Xiao Xiliu.

Once Yang Qingle's grandfather, the king of Yanning County, was killed by Li Yun's people from the old royal family of Xiliang, but Li Yun has been snubbed by Han Jian for a long time since he wanted to charm Han Jian with his body, and the big and small Xiliu have gradually risen in Han Jian's intelligence system, but it is Mrs. Luo, who used to be the godmother of the big and small Xiliu, is also a little neglected.

"Take this king to see the granddaughter of the king of Yanning County." Han Jian said coldly.

In order to keep it secret, Han Jian's best way is to keep Yang Qingle where he is detained, he doesn't know it, but lets Xiao Xiliu decide for himself.

This was also decided after Han Jian put Yang Qingle under house arrest for less than half a month and encountered assassins several times. The person who sent someone to assassinate Yang Qingle may be related to Yang Rui, or it may be related to other forces, in general, someone doesn't want her to live. But Han Jian didn't want her to die, so Han Jian simply hid her so that people couldn't find her whereabouts.

Xiao Xiliu immediately gathered people and accompanied Han Jian to the place where Yang Qingle was imprisoned, it was just a private house, and it was very narrow inside, but unlike when Li Yun imprisoned Yang Qingle, although this place was narrow, it was very secluded and clean, and Xiao Xiliu was also very cautious in doing things, using maids to take care of Yang Qingle's daily life. In this way, Yang Qingle is no different from an ordinary county lord except that he has no freedom.

"Young son Qiyu, he was assassinated before the thief. I was a little frightened in my heart, and I was behaving strangely in the past few days, afraid that she would collide with the young man. Before entering the door, Konishiyanagi reminded.

"No, you stay outside, and you don't have to come in without the king's command." Han Jian said.

After speaking. Han Jian entered the house, and the furnishings inside were also very neat, like the flower hall of a large family, there was no miscellaneous smell, and it looked very clean.

This is true of the outhouse, and it is also true of the inner room. Inside, it was a very clean boudoir of her daughter's house, but Yang Qingle sat on the edge of the bed alone in a daze, as if she was crazy. His eyes were blank, and he didn't even move when he heard someone enter the house.

"The county lord is not harmed?" Han Jian took two steps inside, and took a general look, there were windows, but the windows were nailed, and only the skylight in the room was ventilated, and it was a little cold, but the bedding on the bed was very complete. This at least proves that Yang Qingle has not been mistreated since he came here.

Yang Qingle glanced at Han Jian when he heard this, and his face was still calm. Suddenly becoming very scared, the whole person jumped on the bed and shrank in the corner, the quilt covered his body and looked at Han Jian in horror.

"You...... Don't come here. Yang Qingle's voice was different from before, and he said nervously.

"Do you still know this king?" Han Jian sat down and asked.

"You...... You are the king of the east. It was you who sent someone to kill my grandfather. And send someone to kill me, you ...... Just kill me, why imprison me? I don't know anything......"

Yang Qingle retracted his head into the futon, as if out of sight and out of mind.

Han Jian didn't expect that such a face of his own could be so terrifying in the eyes of a young girl.

"I didn't come today to kill you. It's not to embarrass you. It's just that there are some things that you ask, and it doesn't matter if you can answer them or not. ”

Yang Qingle continued to shrink into the futon and didn't answer, as if he hadn't heard Han Jian's words.

"Your grandfather, the king of Yanning County, was indeed killed by someone sent by this king. But he's damned, this king has always only killed damned people! Han Jian said in a vicious tone.

"You!"

When Yang Qingle heard this this time, he stuck his head out and glared at Han Jian angrily.

"I know you don't want to hear it, but if you know what happened, maybe you will change your respect for him. Let's put it this way, the king of Yanning County is not your biological grandfather, and your parents are not your biological parents. Han Jian said.

"You...... Nonsense! Yang Qingle naturally wouldn't believe what Han Jian said.

Han Jian smiled and said, "You naturally don't believe it. Do you remember that the king of Yanning County once invited this king to the mansion for a banquet? I asked you to come out as a companion, and I also let you drink a few glasses of wine. ”

"So what?"

"Your grandfather was drugged in wine at the time. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Yang Qingle didn't answer this time, she didn't remember much about that banquet, mainly because she was already dizzy after two glasses of wine. It was only after listening to someone talk about it that she realized that she was drunk and was helped back to rest, and as for what was going on, she basically forgot about it afterwards.

"At the beginning, your grandfather only thought that you were the illegitimate daughter of His Majesty today, and he was the king of this and was the illegitimate son of His Majesty. You're also smart, you can probably guess what your grandfather has in mind, right? ”

This time, Yang Qingle looked at Han Jian, his face was a little anxious.

It's not that she doesn't believe Han Jian's words at all, it's just that what Han Jian said is too sensational, and it can be said that she is hitting the almost perfect grandfather in her mind.

"Your grandfather has always had ill intentions towards His Majesty, and he has always believed that your adoptive father and adoptive mother were killed by His Majesty and wanted to take revenge. But with his ability, he couldn't achieve it, so he tried every possible way to take revenge on His Majesty. So there was such a joke. The facts show that you are neither the illegitimate daughter of His Majesty, nor is this king the illegitimate son of His Majesty. A qiē is all a wild man's old memory, and he guessed it for no reason. ”

Yang Qingle continued to grit his teeth and did not speak.

"You can be a grandfather, after all, he gave birth to you for many years. But you must know that he does not have good intentions, and will even sacrifice you at any time, just to avenge the present majesty who once killed his children. Han Jian said, "Do you know your original identity?" ”

"You won't know, even if your grandfather found out later, he wouldn't tell you. Let's put it this way, your father is likely to be Prince Yan Ning, who once competed with the former emperor for the crown prince and was deposed, and was relegated to a place where his whereabouts are unknown, to make it clear, you are the blood of the royal family, and even closer to the orthodoxy of the royal family. Instead, your grandfather is just a side branch of the royal family. Han Jian sneered.

"That'...... So what? This time, Yang Qingle was not sure in his heart.

She is very aware of Han Jian's status now, and it can be said that the entire imperial court is controlled by Han Jian. If Han Jian wants to kill her, it is also easy, there is no need to make up a story in front of her to coax her, except for being the granddaughter of the king of Yanning County, she can be said to be worthless at all. Even she didn't know why she had provoked so many rights and wrongs.

"So what? Haha, that's a good question. If you are just the heir of a deposed prince, no one will care about your life or death, but your father is likely to be still alive, and some people are still running for the restoration of Prince Yan Ning, trying to overthrow the imperial court to support Prince Yan Ning, or his descendants to inherit the throne. ”

"Huh?"

After all, Yang Qingle has received a very orthodox education since she was a child, and she is not an unenlightened girl. The hardships she endured for more than a year also made her realize the warmth and coldness of the world, and she also thought about many things more than ordinary people.

Now what Han Jian said, she naturally understands it. The meaning of Han Jian's words is that she may become the emperor that those rebels want to promote.

"Someone wants to take advantage of you, and naturally someone will want to kill you. Your Majesty has asked the king for people many times, you don't have to guess, you should know the purpose of your majesty's people. Because not only does this king know the ins and outs of the matter, but even His Majesty is also very clear. Do you think His Majesty would allow the life of someone who might threaten her throne? Han Jian said coldly.

"I ...... I don't believe it. It's all your nonsense, how could the imperial aunt want to kill me? Yang Qingle said with tears on his face.

"You can't believe it." Han Jian said, "You probably wonder why this king would go to great lengths to bring you back from the north, instead of killing your grandfather with one stab." Let me tell you this, this king did not pity you when he saved you, but also wanted to take advantage of you. Because you are a chess piece, a chess piece that can make it difficult for your majesty to sleep today. As long as you are in my hands, His Majesty will be jealous when he does it to the descendants of Prince Yan Ning. ”

Han Jian paused and continued, "Now what I hold in my hands is the military and political power of the imperial court, and I am also the thorn in the side of the imperial court and His Majesty. Your Majesty will allow me to continue to call for wind and rain in this court, as long as the court calms down the troubles in the north in the future, the next person to be shot is the king who has made great contributions to the court, and the countless generals under the king. After all, you are the same as this king, both are a thorn in the eye of His Majesty! (To be continued......)
