At noon on the sixth day of October, Han Jian and his entourage arrived outside the Yongtong Gate in Luoyang East City.

Originally, Han Jian entered Luoyang City, and the nearest one was from the outer city in the south of the city. But Han Jian directly chose Yongtongmen this time, and arrived at the inner city of Luoyang when he entered the city. Han Jianshe sought near and far, but it was simplified, saving the trouble of entering the inner city gate. Han Jian guessed that if something happened in Luoyang City, someone would prevent him from entering the city, so it would be better to be simple and rude.

Outside the Yongtong Gate, Han Jian couldn't notice anything unusual in Luoyang City, the city gate was opened, and the people came in and out except for the basic inventory, there was nothing special. However, Han Jian and his entourage wanted to enter the city, but they ran into trouble, after all, Han Jian and his entourage had five or six hundred people, and they were all armed with blades, and the gatekeepers guarding the city gate stopped the entourage, and even set up a card, intending to stop it.

"Young boy, the captain of the city gate is in front, saying that he wants to talk to you face to face." Zhang Xing stepped forward to negotiate and came over to return to Han Jian.

"In person?" Han Jian smiled coldly, a captain at the city gate had the courage to dare to stop the people from the East King and the South King from entering the city?

Han Jian got out of the carriage directly, walked before the car, and went to the Yongtong Gate, the city gate soldiers were heavily guarded, but fortunately, they closed the city gate immediately, otherwise Han Jian really thought that he was regarded as a foreign enemy.

"Which is the Captain of the City Gate?" Han Jian stepped forward and said with a cold snort.

"Xia Guan is exactly." A man about thirty years old wearing a military uniform and a sword stepped forward and saluted, "Yu Liang, the captain of the city gate, has seen His Highness." ”

Han Jian looked at this person, he was quite handsome and chic, guessing that he might be from some family, so he was so bold that he dared to negotiate with him. Han Jian nodded and said, "This king is an envoy to the Qi Dynasty." Now that he has returned, why did Captain Yu stop him? ”

Yu Liang was a little embarrassed: "When His Royal Highness enters the city, it seems that he should not go through Yongtong Gate." ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "I came to Yongtongmen nearby, and I want to meet His Majesty earlier and present the envoy's experience one by one, isn't it all good?" ”

Yu Liang reluctantly laughed and said, "Even if His Highness wants to enter the city, he can't bring so many soldiers and horses, according to the rules, His Highness can only bring fifty followers into the city." No more than one. ”

"Whose rules?" Han Jian shouted. "According to the rules of the Wei Dynasty, when the vassal king enters the capital, he can bring two hundred relatives, but you say that he can only bring fifty?"

"This is also what the prison has just promulgated. Why is His Highness embarrassed? Yu Liang's face was full of embarrassment.

Han Jian saw Yu Liang's respectful attitude. It's not like the kind of person who deliberately stepped forward to make things difficult. It's that he is aggressive and puts a lot of pressure on this city gate captain.

Han Jian said coldly: "This world, is it the world of His Majesty, or the world of the prison country?" ”

His Highness smiled. The world is naturally the world of the Son of Heaven, and the people are also the subjects of the Son of Heaven. Yu Liang said respectfully.

"Then you won't give way?" Han Jian shouted.

Yu Liang still didn't give way, a little embarrassed: "Xiaguan and Lin Shaofu are old friends, if it is a weekday, His Royal Highness enters the city from my Yongtong Gate, bring a few more people and a few less, and the lower officials should be countless." But today the situation is different. The prison state decreed that all city gates must abide by the notice, and if they violated, they would be dismissed from their posts and brought to justice. Originally, the lower officer was only a deputy lieutenant, but because the original lieutenant made a small mistake and was dismissed, the lower officer came up. The lower officials did not want to be dismissed as soon as they took office, and asked His Royal Highness to be accommodating. ”

Han Jian looked at Yu Liang's appearance, and it really didn't seem that he intended to make things difficult. When Yu Liang mentioned Lin Zhan again, Han Jian felt that Yu Liang was not embarrassed, but seemed to remind him of something. Han Jian knows Lin Zhan's personality very well, with Lin Zhan's not very sociable character, the people who can make friends must also be the kind of people who are unwilling, just like Yu Liang in front of him, a stout man who looks like this, but he is so low-voiced. Han Jian could also guess that such a person was usually very principled, and if he broke through with his entourage, Yu Liang might really lead his troops to resist.

"You're skilled." Han Jian stepped forward and patted Yu Liang on the shoulder and sneered.

"Please forgive your Highness." Yu Liang naturally thought that Han Jian was angry, and what he said was not praise, but sarcastic about him.

"You'll see." Han Jian slapped Liang on the face, Yu Liang didn't dare to breathe, Han Jian brushed his sleeves away, and such a situation naturally fell in the eyes of others. When Han Jian arrived in front of the car, he turned his head to take a look, only to see Yu Liang touching his face, looking helpless, probably not expecting that the East King admired by Lin Zhan was so unreasonable.

"Guard Zhang, after entering the city in a while, you will find a way to inform Yu Liang, make amends for him, and find a way to let him meet with me by the way." Han Jian instructed Zhang Xing.

"Yes, young boy." Zhang Xing commanded.

Han Jian was about to order some of the guards to be left outside the city and bring fifty people into the city by himself, when Han Cui's and Yang Li'er came over to inquire about the situation.

Han Jian gave a general explanation of the situation, and Han Cuishi said angrily: "A prison country, just put yourself into the world? ”

Yang Li'er was silent.

"Sanniang, since the prison country has made such an order, that means that some people are already preparing for someone to suddenly enter the city. In that case, let's pretend to be obedient, and we might as well bring only fifty men into the city, for it would be useless to bring more people in anyway. ”

Han Cuishi said: "Jian'er, Luoyang is in danger now, you only bring fifty people in, how can you ensure your safety?" No, you wait for Sanniang to enter the city and see His Majesty, so you don't believe that the little prison can cover the sky with one hand. ”

Han Jian sighed: "I'm afraid that Sanniang, if you enter Luoyang, you won't be able to see Your Majesty." Just do as I say, Zhang Guard, you can arrange it. ”

After speaking, Han Jian turned to look at Yang Li'er and said, "Miss Yang, since you have been sent back to Luoyang next time, why don't you just leave?" ”

"Cousin, we're in Luoyang, don't go into the city, isn't it okay?" Huang Lie came out of nowhere, and looked at Yang Li'er eagerly, as if pleading.

"Into town." Yang Li'er said coldly, "The East Wangfu can bring fifty people in, and the South Wangfu can naturally bring fifty people." ”

Han Jian smiled, and at this time, Yang Li'er also went back and ordered the remaining guards below. Han Jian comforted Han Cui's two more words, and then entered the city with some good manpower.

After entering the city, Han Jian did not go directly to the palace or report to the Ministry of Rites, but went directly to the direction of the Dongwangfu Annex. Yang Li'er and his entourage went directly to the direction of the Nanwangfu Courtyard.

Back at the Dongwangfu Annex, Han Jian had a familiar feeling. It's a pity that Ruan Ping has returned to Jiangdu with Han Zhao's clan and the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, while Sima Yi was detained in Southern Qi, and Wen'er was sent back after following him to Southern Qi, and now Jiangdu. When he returned to the Dongwangfu Annex this time, Han Jian had a feeling that things were wrong.

When he came back, Han Jian saw that Han Cui's changed into a palace dress and wanted to go out, so he stepped forward to stop Han Cui's, he knew that Han Cui's was in such a hurry to go out, and he must have entered the palace to see the empress.

"Sanniang. It's all said that it's useless if you go. It's better to stay and think about it in the long run. Even if you want to go to see it, you have to wait for the matter to find out first, and if you go so rashly, you may be startled. Han Jian said.

"How can you let Sanniang bear it?" Han Cui's has always had a quick temper. Now there is chaos in the capital. She persuaded Han Jian to return to Jiangdu, but she couldn't persuade him. Now that she is in danger, she can't help but go into the palace to ask for an understanding.

Han Jian said: "Sanniang has to be patient this time no matter what. If we mess with ourselves first, won't it be easier for the little people to find a gap to kill us by surprise? ”

Han Cuishi sighed: "I'm afraid it's not time for others to pick a time to kill us by surprise. It's that our meat is on the chopping board, left to the disposal of others. Fifty people, plus how many people are there in the Dongwang Mansion? What can you do if that little overseer sends someone to get you? ”

Han Jian smiled: "Just come to get people like this, Yang Yu may not have that guts, right?" After taking me, how can he explain to the people of the world, and how can he explain to the people of my Jiangdu land? He thinks that if he takes me, he will be able to seal the news and prevent it from spreading to Jiangdu? ”

Han Cuishi thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "It's not like you didn't have the brains to break into Luoyang." Sanniang has already gone to Xinjiang yesterday, let your Erniang send troops to meet you, and it should not take a few days to approach Luoyang. In this way, if we have anything, we can also support it, and those people will have to weigh what they want to do with you! ”

Han Jian didn't expect Han Cui's temperament to be so anxious, and he hadn't even discussed such a big matter as the transfer of troops. Originally, without the permission of the Son of Heaven, it was a big deal to transfer troops privately, but now it is also an extraordinary period, and Han Jian doesn't know that he can't be restrained in everything, and it is okay to strike preemptively like Han Cui's.

Han Jian settled down first, especially Gu Xin'er and Xiaohe's two female dependents. Gu Xin'er's family was in prison, and they were extremely worried, while Xiaohe suddenly arrived in a strange environment, and in the face of a large group of people with swords, he was even more frightened and didn't dare to come out to see Han Jian for several days. If Han Jian wants to do something, he must settle the two of them first.

After settling down, Han Jian did not rest directly, but took advantage of the fact that it was not yet night, and took Zhang Xing and a few guards to go to Qingxu Yashe.

"Jian'er, you don't rest, you still have to go out?" Han Cuishi learned that Han Jian was going out, and this time it was her turn to block the drive.

"Sanniang, don't worry, I have something to do when I go out this time, so I will be careful."

Han Jian ignored Han Cui's dissuasion and insisted on going out. When Han Jian arrived at Qingxu Yashe, a hairy boy dressed in ordinary clothes was probing his brain at the door of Qingxu Yashe. It was Lin Xiaoyun.

"Hey, come to your aunt?" Han Jian greeted him.

"Yes." Lin Xiaoyun came over and smiled awkwardly, "You are the King of the East, I don't know what to call you." ”

Han Jian smiled: "You can call it whatever you want, why don't you go in?" ”

Lin Xiaoyun said: "It's the first time I've come to such a place. If my aunt isn't in it, it's troublesome. ”

"Let's go, let's go in together."

Han Jian said, and entered the Qingxu Yashe with his front foot. When I arrived at the house, the decoration was the same as before, because it was not a meal, and there were no guests in the house. There was only a new guy cleaning up the tables and chairs, and he didn't know Han Jian yet.

"The young boy is back!"

I don't know who shouted, for a while, Qingxu Yashe was like an earthquake, many people ran in from the upstairs and downstairs backyards to join in the fun, and when they saw Han Jian, they all stepped forward to salute as if they were seeing relatives, and Lin Xiaoshu, who was supposed to appear first, was the latest to appear, she was dressed in a cloth skirt, and she looked much more capable than before, and when she saw Han Jian, she was a little surprised at first, but immediately gathered her expression and walked forward to salute.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Lin, look who I brought!" ”

"Auntie!" As soon as Han Jian's words fell, Lin Xiaoyun rushed out of the crowd, startling Lin Xiaoshu. When Lin Xiaoshu saw clearly that it was his little nephew, he immediately hid his face and cried.

originally thought that Lin Xiaoyun would not be able to meet for a few years when he arrived in the south, but he didn't expect that it was only half a year, and Lin Xiaoyun returned to Luoyang City to see her safely.

"You've been doing a great job these days. In the near future, we will increase our salaries. Han Jian said in public, "But let's disperse first, do their own thing, disperse the night market in the evening, and let Shopkeeper Lin set up a banquet to entertain you!" ”

"Young Master Xie!" The guys of Qingxu Yashe were elated one by one. Not only did he see that Dongwang returned safely, but he also had a salary increase, and he could also have a good meal in Qingxu Yashe. With their salary level, they can't afford to spend such a luxurious thing as having a banquet in Qingxu Yashe, and Han Jian is tantamount to giving everyone a benefit in disguise.

And Han Jian's banquet this time was not simply to entertain his fellows, but to make the banquet bigger, seemingly to entertain his own people and attract the attention of some people, while he himself wanted to take the opportunity to meet with Lin Zhan and ask about the situation in the capital.

Han Jian didn't stay in the house for a long time, but first went to some places in the capital to walk, and even went outside the listening office, but he didn't go in. Because at this time, although he still has the official title of the listening office, after all, there is no need for him to go in and sit on duty.

It wasn't until after sunset and dusk that Han Jian returned to Qingxu Yashe, and he didn't come out as soon as he entered.

By the time of the second watch, the night market of Qingxu Yashe had dispersed, Han Jian took advantage of the fact that Qingxu Yashe was holding a banquet to entertain his friends, and when he was in a hurry, he left from the back door with the guards. Han Jian was about to go in, but was stopped outside by the shopkeeper who was about to close the door.

"The shopkeeper, the teahouse will extend its business for a while." Han Jian said with a smile.

"No, just a few of you guests, it's not worth it, the market will open tomorrow morning." The shopkeeper is a little embarrassed.

Han Jian asked Zhang Xing to offer the silver, and the shopkeeper immediately changed his attitude and beckoned Han Jian and the others to go in.

After a while, Lin Zhan came over.

At this time, Lin Zhan was already a young man in the Tingwei Mansion, and he was already a powerful figure in Luoyang City. And because Lin Zhan belongs to a person without party and faction, in the previous turmoil in the capital, his position was preserved, according to Han Jian's judgment, no matter who is ready to usurp power in the capital now, Lin Zhan is the object of being wooed, so Lin Zhan's background is simple, and few people know about his relationship with Han Jian, and others think that he is rising to the top by virtue of his own ability, because he is promoted by the Tingwei Mansion little by little, not airborne. Once there is any turmoil in the capital, with such a senior court lieutenant and young man, the security of the capital will easily return to normal.

As soon as Lin Zhan arrived, another person arrived, it was Yu Liang, who had been slapped by Han Jian earlier. (To be continued......)
