Chapter 503: New Year's Banquet

sent out Onishiyanagi, and Han Jian was still in a bad mood. He never thought about many things, thinking that he didn't have the family baggage of this life, but he didn't expect that he would still pop out today.

Even the biological father of this world is not sure. Prince Yan Ning, who originally had nothing to do with him, may have become his biological father?

"Xianggong, what are you thinking? Seeing you come back, you've been preoccupied. ”

At noon, Han Jian had dinner with Yang Li'er in the Dongwangfu Courtyard, and Yang Li'er couldn't help but ask with some concern when she saw Han Jian's appearance.

Han Jian smiled at Yang Li'er, this delicate wife has always been the most sensitive.

"I'm thinking about the palace banquet tonight." Han Jian pushed.

Yang Li'er didn't doubt it in her heart, and sighed slightly: "Also, the New Year used to be in Yuzhou, last year in Dongwangfu, and it's been another year in the blink of an eye." When I entered the palace this time, the relationship with His Majesty was not the same, and I couldn't believe it. ”

"You sent the letter to Xin'er?" Han Jian asked.

"Not yet. I haven't figured out how to write it yet. Between me and Xin'er's sister, although I am a husband together, I am not in the same yard on weekdays, and I don't know how to write when I talk. In fact, Sister Xin'er is most concerned about you, and it would be good to report your safety. Let's talk about the return date again. It should take more than a month for us to be able to return to Jiangdu. ”

"Hmm." Han Jian held the chopsticks, but he couldn't help but think of his biological father again.

He didn't feel so concerned about his life experience before, but when Yang Rui said this, he felt like something in his heart had been ignited.

After all, he is not a normal person, how did he come to this world. What the truth is, science can't explain, the only thing that can explain it is that he was reincarnated as a human being, with memories of his previous life. These memories are his baggage.

By the afternoon, Han Jian met with several generals who had come from the battlefield in the north of Luoyang, and not all of them were Lin Zhan's subordinates.

Lin Zhan's soldiers and horses had already crossed the Yellow River and were cleaning up some prefectures and counties along the northern banks of the Yellow River, and the battle situation was currently very favorable to the side of Dongwangfu.

The North Wangfu has shrunk the battle line to the north, on the one hand, to deal with the East Wangfu, and on the other hand, to deal with the West Wang's army. plus the previous loss of troops in the Northern Palace. At this time, the Northern King Army had fallen into the defensive. This is also the ability they have cultivated in the front-line battle of the Great Wall for decades, fighting Xianbei and Bohai people, they are also mainly on the defensive, about when to retreat. When it's time to take the initiative. Ben Wang Jun can be said to be familiar with this aspect. Neither the Eastern nor Western armies could make much progress for the time being.

By the afternoon, the palace had already sent someone out to deliver the invitation, which was equivalent to conveying Yang Rui's holy decree. On the issue of entering the palace to give a banquet, some old ministers naturally don't have to worry that they won't be invited, but some people are looking forward to seeing that they are not invited.

Han Jian was going to enter the palace with Yang Li'er, but earlier, Yang Rui sent someone out to invite Yang Li'er into the palace, saying that there was something to discuss. Yang Li'er left earlier.

Han Jian understood that this was Yang Rui's overture to Yang Cier, Yang Rui quarreled with him before, which made Yang Ci'er quite frightened, this time Yang Rui invited Yang Ci'er alone, just to show sisterhood, and talk to her privately or something by the way. Because some things have been clarified, Yang Rui does not need to hide in front of Yang Li'er, and the relationship is easy to sort out.

When Han Jian arrived at the gate of the palace, it was already sunset and dusk, and the sky was still very bright. Many officials were waiting to enter the palace, Han Jian arrived, and Ning Xiuyan's father, Ning Yuan, greeted him. Han Jian looked at Ning Yuan's appearance, he should have been waiting for him on purpose.

"Ning Shangshu." Seeing Ning Yuan, Han Jian bowed first.

"The old minister is terrified." Ning Yuan hurriedly returned the salute, took out something in the shape of a notebook from his arms, and handed it forward.

Han Jian didn't pick it up right away, and said in his heart, could it be that the list of celebrities sent by various families before was not successful?

"Lin Shangshu, this is ......"

Ning Yuan explained: "Your Highness, this is a gesture of gratitude to Your Highness for your help. Before, His Highness did not accept the kindness of the families, so he had to exchange gifts, and asked His Highness to accept it with a smile......"

Han Jian took it and opened it to see that it was no longer the name of a celebrity, but the title deeds of many farmhouses in the city.

Industry has always been the basis for each family to maintain its own power, and only with fields and houses can it be regarded as a large family. This time, these families are willing to vomit blood and send Tian Zhai to the house, then they must have something to ask for.

"This gift is too valuable, this king doesn't dare to accept it." Han Jian handed the list back.

"Your Highness, if you don't accept it, the old minister will not be able to go back and explain to the families." Ning Yuan said, "Moreover, the families actually want to ask His Highness to say Xiang in front of His Majesty, and they have arrived in Jiangdu...... If each family wants to maintain the fundamentals, don't they need Dongwang to take care of you? ”

Han Jian smiled, and sure enough, he still asked for something.

The "tragic situation" of those families who were snubbed by Yang Yu before migrating to Jiangdu is somewhat heard of for these old nobles in Luoyang. Although those families are now mixing well in Jiangdu, when they first arrived in Jiangdu, because they had no farmhouse and no money, they could not integrate into the local social groups, so they were constrained everywhere.

And this time, these families have migrated with the empress, and they will inevitably be revitalized, the original family system has been formed in Jiangdu, they used to buy land, or to communicate with the local family, if there is no help from the East Prince's Mansion, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.

"This king will not accept these gifts." Han Jian said, "This is the attitude of this king, Ning Shangshu just goes back and says to those people." When they go to Jiangdu, the king will also treat them equally, and they are the people of His Majesty, and His Majesty will also help them temporarily settle down in Jiangdu. Let them keep the farm house in Luoyang, and when they return to Luoyang, these will be their own after all. ”

Ning Yuan heard Han Jian say this, in addition to being a little relieved, he was more worried.

Han Jian's words are beautiful, and it is difficult to say what will happen when he arrives in Jiangdu. Even he himself was at a loss for the future. Now that he has a daughter with the king of the east, the situation is even better, if even he himself is unable to protect himself, let alone others?

Ning Yuan, as the initiator and organizer of this gift to the East King and the request for the East King's words, also felt some responsibility for the families behind him.

Han Jian and Ning Yuan entered the palace together, and many officials on the road saluted Han Jian, as if Han Jian was a prisoner.

Previously, Yang Rui appointed Han Jian as the supervisor of the country, but in this march and even after entering Luoyang, he was mainly on the march, and no one mentioned the matter of supervising the country. But everyone knows that the status of the empress may not be higher than that of the East King, and the East King now controls not only Luoyang City and Jiangdu, but half of the Wei Dynasty, including Yang Luochuan, the king of the South, who is now also controlled by the East Wangfu.

Han Jian and the others went directly to the place where the banquet was held, which was the Wenwu Palace. Han Jian has been to the Wenwu Hall many times, and he is quite familiar with the surrounding environment.

To the courtyard in front of the Wenwu Palace, Han Jian also saw his father-in-law Yang Luochuan, and Yang Luochuan was still followed by Yang Li'er's uncle Huang Yicheng.

Han Jian just casually exchanged a few words with Yang Luochuan, and at this time, there were already eunuchs and palace maids who came out to greet everyone to the table.

Because there is no clear explanation of the seats and seats in this era, many things are arranged on the spot, but some important officials and generals, including Yang Luochuan and Han Jian, have clear seats.

Han Jian and Yang Luochuan's seats are still next to the chairman. Everyone sat down, and after a while, Yang Rui came out with a few little eunuchs and palace maids, dressed in brocade clothes.

"See Majesty." Everyone stood up and bowed.

Yang Rui motioned for everyone to sit down without formality, Han Jian and Yang Rui sat very close, Han Jian sat down, and looked at Yang Rui in surprise, with the intention of asking.

Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian and smiled slightly, as if to say, are you still afraid that I will eat your East Princess?

Yang Rui said aloud to everyone present: "Today is the Spring Festival, I am here to feast all Aiqing, but also to use this new year and new situation, but also hope that my Great Wei will end the war and strife as soon as possible and restore peace." ”

Yang Rui's words ended, and he raised his glass, led by Han Jian and Yang Luochuan, and everyone present got up to drink together.

After three glasses of wine, Han Jian was still a little awkward sitting alone, originally Yang Li'er was also going to attend the meeting, the last time Yang Rui returned to the banquet, Yang Li'er also attended, but this time he was left by Yang Rui, I don't know what Yang Rui'an's heart is.

Yang Rui's wine was drunk, and some flattering ministers present began to come out to say New Year's greetings. It is all a set of old sayings praising Yang Rui and singing praises of virtue.

Han Jian felt irritated when he heard it, these people didn't feel red when they said this kind of scene, Han Jian felt very fake when he heard it. However, because the people of this era like such clichΓ©s very much, he just listens and does not speak.

As soon as the New Year's greetings passed, some of the ceremonial and music groups in the palace began to come out to perform to help the fun, and the entire Wenwu Hall was a little noisy, and everyone didn't have to be as restrained as before, they could drink happily. After all, it is the empress's banquet, and many middle- and lower-level officials may not be able to stand a few times in their lives, and there is no danger of liquidation, so they feel very happy here.

"King Dong, you will follow me to pick up Princess Dong in a while." Yang Rui suddenly smiled and said to Han Jian.

In front of people, Yang Rui spoke very formally, but his attitude was a little **.

After all, the two of them untied the knot before.

Han Jian leaned forward a little and asked, "Why did you leave Li'er behind?" ”

Originally, Han Jian and Yang Rui talked so privately, and others would definitely be suspicious, but because Han Jian is now a pillar of a country, no one will think that what Han Jian said to Yang Rui is not a business matter.

"Won't you know for a while?" Yang Rui smiled secretly, and then turned his head.

At this time, Han Jian frowned, glanced at Yang Luochuan who was sitting on Yang Rui's left, and saw that Yang Luochuan was also looking at this side, and wanted to ask in detail, but he could only do it first. (To be continued......)
