Yang Rui has an opinion on Han Jian, mainly from the fact that when she and the soldiers and horses of the Dongwangfu first returned to Luoyang, the major Luoyang families rushed to send the famous ladies to Han Jian. Now Yang Xi wants to choose a concubine, and the families in Luoyang are clearly loyal to the court, and they show loyalty in the court on weekdays, but now they are afraid and refuse to send out a few ladies for the court to choose.

What Han Jian said to Ning Yuan now was just to let Ning Yuan "get acquainted" and mobilize the Luoyang family to follow Yang Rui's wishes.

"Your Highness is like this, it will be difficult for some strong people." Ning Yuan not only did not receive the order, but knelt on the ground and said with a little embarrassment.

"Ning Shangshu, what does this mean?" Han Jian didn't help, but glanced at him coldly.

Ning Yuan sighed: "Now although Luoyang is based on the imperial court, it is occupied by the Eastern Wang's army, who dares to climb with the royal family now, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" Even if His Highness insists on it, I am afraid that it will only backfire. ”

Han Jian said coldly: "Backfired? ”

"Exactly, all families are now avoiding marriages with the imperial court, mainly because they don't want to be involved when the situation in Luoyang is in danger in the future. If His Royal Highness really wants to insist on this, it is better to make a promise that he will not blame the people in the royal family in the future. Or His Royal Highness directly asks people to go back, and then His Highness sends people into the palace, then the families have nothing to do with it. In this way, each family took the initiative to give it away, and I am afraid that no one would dare to respond. ”

Han Jianxin said that this was really interesting, he forcibly asked someone to send someone to the palace, but it was better than each family taking the initiative to send someone. Doesn't that mean that some families in Luoyang are afraid of marrying with the palace to such a point, even if their daughters are robbed, they will not have anything to do with the royal family?

Han Jian said: "As for robbing people, this king will never be like this. But it's okay to make a promise, Ning Shangshu just said it to his family. If she is chosen by the imperial court to be the crown princess, the king will promise to treat her well in the future. Don't be embarrassed. So Ning Shangshu can do it with confidence? ”

"This ...... I'm afraid that His Highness can't make a decision by words, and has to make some ...... Something that reassures everyone. ”

Han Jianxin said that Ning Yuan was also a little too much. Now he can't say anything well, and he needs to give a written guarantee? How can he bear this kind of idleness?

But not being angry with him now, it means that Yang Rui will continue to be angry with him. Anyway, it's either this anger or unpleasantness in Yang Rui's place, but it is better to take advantage of Ning Yuan's intentions, so that it will be easier for Ning Yuan to do things.

"Well, as for the reassuring things, you can't do them now. If any of the celebrities are selected by the court, the king should make a promise. Never break your word. Han Jian got up and said.

"Rus...... Very good. The old minister sent off the king of the east. ”

Ning Yuan personally sent Han Jian out of the house, but before he reached the door, he saw that behind the side door and the moon gate, someone seemed to be looking over. Han Jian instinctively was alert, and the head immediately retracted.

Han Jian stopped, and was a little cautious, saying in his heart, Could it be that there are assassins in Ningyuan Mansion?

Han Jianzheng frowned a little curiously, and his head stuck out again, but this time he saw it as a real one, but he was not an assassin. It's a pretty little girl in her teens, with big eyes, and a pair of eyes are staring at Han Jian. After touching Han Jian's gaze, his head did not shrink, but looked at Han Jian with some curiosity in his expression.

Han Jian couldn't help but smile, usually when a woman saw him, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide, but now there was a girl who seemed to be unenlightened looking at her, which made him feel funny.

"Your Highness." Ning Yuan reminded him.

Han Jian nodded before retracting his gaze. Sideways and continued to walk towards the door.

Ning Yuan smiled: "This is the little granddaughter, I don't know if it can enter the eyes of His Highness?" ”

As he spoke. The girl had already run all the way away, and Han Jian glanced at the girl's back. Only then did he look at Ning Yuan and said, "What does Ning Shangshu mean by this?" ”

A courtier like Ning Yuan, who has a family background and fame in Luoyang, has many wives and concubines, and many children. Although Ning Xiuyan is her daughter, she is not the eldest son and grandson of the Ning family, after all, Ning Yuan is nearly fifty years old, and it is not uncommon for him to have a granddaughter who has grown up in marriage at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Ning Yuan said with a smile: "The little granddaughter has always admired His Highness very much, if His Highness does not give up, let her follow His Highness and serve His Highness." ”

Han Jian smiled slightly, and said in his heart that this Ning Yuan was really considerate.

Maybe Ning Yuan knew that Han Jian was a little alienated from Ning Xiuyan these days, and felt his own crisis, so he would continue to send the daughter of the Ning family to him, Ning Yuan's position in the court was stable, and in the eyes of others and even Ning Yuan himself, it was because he had a way to encircle the East King, and the method he enveloped was to send his daughter to Han Jian.

These days, Han Jian didn't go to Ning Xiuyan because of Yang Xiuxiu's matter and Yang Rui's injury, not deliberately liking the new and hating the old. Now he would rather take the initiative to send his daughter, which made him feel Ning Yuan's ambition and unscrupulous means to stabilize his position in the imperial court.

Han Jian walked towards the door and said, "Ning Shangshu, Xiuyan is the king's woman and your daughter." Now you want to send your granddaughter to this king, not afraid that their aunts and nephews will not get along with each other? ”

Ning Yuan smiled: "Your Highness is too worried. It is precisely because they are a family that they take more care of each other. It is also her honor to be favored by His Royal Highness. ”

Han Jian sighed slightly, the girl just now looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she was innocent and carefree, saying that she had admiration for herself, it was just an excuse that Ning Yuan found, such a little girl didn't leave the house, I am afraid she didn't even know what love was. But even he himself has to admit that such a flower-like girl has her most attractive features.

Even if Han Jian has always felt that he is interceding rather than lustful, but in the little daughter of the Ning family, that is, Ning Xiuyan, he is unforgettable at first sight, and even does not hesitate to "occupy" it by his side, and now in the face of another budding flower bone of the Ning family, he is still tempted.

"We'll talk about it later." Han Jian almost couldn't help but agree, but he had to consider Ning Xiuyan's position.

For Ning Xiuyan, being sent to him by her father has been very weekdays, and now even her little niece has been sent over to grab a man with her, what will she think?

"The old minister understands." Ning Yuan didn't say much, but he also showed a very considerate look, and sent Han Jian off the horse to leave.

……

……

However, in two days, under Ning Yuan's came forward to make peace. There are also more lists of ladies sent by each family. At this time, the New Year is approaching, and Luoyang is also lively.

And the day before, the news of the withdrawal of the Xianbei people from the border pass reached Luoyang. A huge border battle ended with thunder and rain.

The Xianbei people grabbed enough resources and people and animals. When retreating, it can be said that it is also a lot of gains, as for the robbed Wei Dynasty cities are also let out, although it withdraws from the border pass, but when it evacuates, the city pass will be damaged and destroyed, and it is impossible to repair. This is clearly a preparation for a new southward invasion in the future.

Han Jian also sent the news of the Xianbei people's withdrawal and the progress of the prince's selection of concubines to Yang Rui at the same time, which was also two good news for Yang Rui.

“…… General Lin has made great contributions and will return to Luoyang in the future. There should be a special reward. After reading the battle report, Yang Rui couldn't help but smile and said.

Han Jian nodded, it is true that this time he was able to make the Xianbei people withdraw their troops, and Lin Zhan contributed a lot. If it weren't for Lin Zhan's steady and steady attack, the Xianbei people would definitely not withdraw their troops so early, but it would not be beneficial for the Xianbei people to hold on. After all, the Xianbei people are the soldiers of the whole country, and the longer the war drags on, the longer the Xianbei people will abandon agriculture and animal husbandry production, and the more Xianbei people are not the only ones on the grassland, and their own livestock, cattle and sheep are in the rear. Afraid of being plundered by other tribes, and there are enough people who go south to rob it, the cold winter is coming, and it is reasonable for the Xianbei people to decide to withdraw after comprehensive consideration.

Yang Rui looked at the list of celebrities sent by each family again. Slightly satisfied, he said: "This is like a little talk, the choice is left to Master Gu." In the end, I will check it myself. ”

"Your Majesty personally checks the gates?" Han Jian looked at Yang Ruidao.

"Can't you? Choose a concubine for Xi'er, that is, choose a brother-in-law for me, or do you say that you are not satisfied and want you to choose it yourself? Yang Rui glared at Han Jian and said.

"I didn't mean that."

"And said you didn't." Yang Rui said, "The little daughter of the Ning family has both virtue and ability, and she is already the best candidate for the crown princess, but now she has become your woman!" You don't want to fake it this time. Leave it up to you and keep the good to yourself. Leave the bad ones to Xi'er, right? ”

Han Jianxin said that it is better not to quarrel with a pregnant woman. Yang Rui now doesn't like anything about him, and arguing will only make the court think that they are not in harmony.

After all, it's not the time when the two of them closed the door and lived their lives. No one knows about their relationship. Now their relationship is known to everyone in the world, as long as he doesn't enter the palace to find Yang Rui to report the matter for a day, there will be rumors outside. What's even more important is that he and Yang Rui have not officially married. But now, judging from the preparations of the Ministry of Rites, the wedding of the Son of Heaven will be after the year, and it will be more fully prepared than the prince's wedding.

In other words, Yang Rui will officially get married before Yang Xi takes a concubine, which also means that her sister married earlier.

Pregnancy before marriage is an unforgivable thing among ordinary women, but it can happen to Yang Rui, who is the emperor, and it is not the same thing. But no matter how you say it, Yang Rui can't get married again with a big belly, which will make people all over the world laugh.

"It doesn't seem appropriate for you to let Mrs. Gu choose." Han Jian said directly.

"What's wrong? The local reports about filial piety in various places are very good, and now they are concubines for Xi'er, so they naturally have to have both ability and political integrity, as for their appearance, as long as they are not ugly. Do you think that if you choose a woman, as long as you look like you, you don't want anything else? Yang Ruibai Han Jian said with a glance.

Han Jianxin said, isn't it even you who are included? You just have a look and nothing else?

Yang Rui was very annoyed after speaking, only then did he realize that he was also involved, and changed his words: "In any case, let Master Gu select from the aspect of virtue and talent, and as for the appearance candidate, it is up to me to decide." At that time, you don't want to be the first to get there, and on the day of the real selection, you won't be allowed to enter the palace! ”

Han Jianxin said that you asked me to come and still come.

After saying this, Han Jian got up and left, because he was still busy with the end of the war in the north in the past two days, and he was still relatively busy. He's going to be busy taking care of the military.

Judging from the situation in the north, the Xianbei people withdrew their troops, and all that remained was to take over Beichuan City. The Beiwangfu has existed in name only under the onslaught of the Xianbei people, and the people of the Beiwangfu have long been scattered, although the Beiwangfu still occupies the lonely city of Beichuan, but there is no foreign aid, many people in the Beiwangfu army have prejudices against the little North King Yang Ke, and have been secretly contacting the Dongwang army to rebel at any time to "set things right". Before, the Dongwang army had been busy confronting the Xianbei people, and had no time to take care of Beichuan City, and now that the Xianbei people have withdrawn their troops, it should be to completely pacify the north, and then think about how to deal with the Xianbei people's southward movement in the coming year.

As for the other force in the north, that is, Su Tingxia's department, before the end of the year, there was still no official report submitted by Su Tingxia in person, but as the Xianbei people did not pay attention to the territory of the Bohai State, a lot of news also came back from the north, and now Su Tingxia's department has basically controlled the entire territory of the Bohai Sea, but because of the cold weather in the north in winter, and the north is very barren in this era, Su Tingxia's march has been hindered by some obstacles, and it is estimated that he is also reorganizing the army.

When he went to the yamen of the military station, he dealt with the general matter, and sent it to Lin Zhan's army together with how to deal with the Beichuan problem, Han Jian was about to go back to his house, but at this time, a guard called a letter over, and Han Jian saw that it was written to him by Ning Xiuyan.

After reading the letter, Han Jian went directly to Ning Xiuyan's place, because Ning Xiuyan and Yang Xiuxiu had "moved" and moved from the original narrow courtyard to the mansion, and Han Jian also felt a little strange after arriving. After the second daughter moved over, Han Jian only came over once or twice, but he didn't spend the night here.

"Master, you're here." Ning Xiuyan took the initiative to greet her, Yang Xiuxiu was still in the room, although after Han Jian took her back to the Anping County Mansion last time, her attitude was not as cold as before, but she still refused to "give in", Han Jian didn't want to make the relationship so stiff, and he wouldn't force her to do anything. Every time he is strong, even he feels that he is too domineering and unsatisfactory.

"What did Xiuyan do with me?" Han Jian entered the hall accompanied by Ning Xiuyan, sat down and asked.

Ning Xiuyan poured the tea herself, but she glanced at Bai Hanjian and said: "What the master said, the concubine misses the master, and wants the master to come over, isn't it okay?" ”

It was also Ning Xiuyan who was already familiar with his temper, and she didn't dare to say that at first.

Han Jian took her into his arms and kept her warm for a while, until Ning Xiuyan's face was red and he was a little disapproving: "The master will bully people." ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "I'm too busy these days, so I don't have time to come over to accompany you." ”

Ning Xiuyan pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "The master is busy entering the palace to take care of His Majesty?" ”

Han Jian sighed and said, "You dare to make fun of me even with Xiuyan?" But you want to be punished? ”

As he spoke, Han Jian raised his big hand, making Ning Xiuyan say forgiveness again and again.

"Master, is it a concubine, please let go of the concubine first. The concubine came to find the master, but it was actually mentioned by the father to take the little niece over. (To be continued)
