The empress was obviously a little impatient and perfunctory to the cries of those old ministers, but some people still didn't know what was going on, and they cried as if the empress was her own mother. At the back, Lin Ke realized that the situation was wrong, and quickly called a few people to go up and pull up a few particularly "lingering" ones. This round of "appeals" has just come to an end.

"Your Majesty, please ...... Return to the dynasty and preside over the overall situation. Lin Ke stepped forward and saluted, and asked.

At this time, Gu Weipan and Han Jian also stepped forward and made a request. But Han Jian also knew that the empress would definitely have a power conflict with him when she went back, which could only be regarded as a gesture of his.

The empress glanced at Han Jian, her expression slightly complicated. didn't say anything, but walked ahead, but he didn't take off the monk's robe and hat on his body, and walked out of the Taoist temple like this.

When the officials and people who had been waiting outside the Taoist temple for a long time saw the empress come out, some of the officials who recognized the empress first knelt down, and then more people knelt down. In front of the Taoist temple, there was a lot of noise, and most of them were saluting. Because there is no unified slogan, it also makes the scene very noisy.

"Your Majesty Xià Hui Dynasty!" I don't know who shouted, and the empress began to walk outside the dense forest, and the officials and onlookers consciously made way for the empress to pass.

Han Jian, Lin Ke and the others followed, the empress suddenly stopped, and Han Jian and the others also had to stop.

"I'm going to talk to the East King secretly, and the others will go away." The empress turned around and glanced at Han Jian and said.

Han Jian was worried about coming to pick up the empress, there was no emperor and crown at all, and it was very unceremonious for the empress to walk back or take an ordinary carriage like this. He informed Han Song, and Han Songshi nodded. Immediately arrange for the people from the East Wangfu to prepare.

At this time, Han Jian also stepped forward and stood behind the empress, and the rest of the officials and people hurriedly retreated until they were a hundred steps away, and the guards surrounded the surroundings again, not allowing anyone to approach the two.

Han Jian bowed and bowed his head for a long time, he was waiting for the empress's reprimand, but after a while, he found that the empress was just staring at the mountain bag in the distance. It's fascinating to watch.

"陛xià. I don't know what I want to ask my subordinates? Han Jian had no choice but to remind the empress.

The Empress let out a long sigh and suddenly asked, "King Dong, do you know my name?" ”

Han Jian was stunned, how could the empress suddenly ask such a personal question? Although the name of the empress is not a secret. But casually mention the name of the Empress. That is also a sin of great disrespect.

"Hui Majesty xià...... Know. Han Jian was panicked. I thought that the calmer the empress at this time, the more likely it was to indicate an unusually stormy storm. Who called him "trespassing" once half a year ago?

"You say that." The Empress said quietly.

Han Jian smiled bitterly and said, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The empress glanced at Han Jian with slanted eyes, and that gaze seemed to say. Is there anything else you don't dare to do?

"My surname is Yang Mingrui, I was named Princess Ningxi at the age of twelve, I was in the Shangqing Palace when I was practicing, the Taoist name was Faling, when I met your father, I was only seventeen years old, and I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and now it has been seventeen years."

Han Jian listened and pondered in his heart, the empress is already thirty-five, in terms of age, it is not too old, but he also knows that people in this year are talking about false years, in fact, the empress has not yet passed her thirty-fourth birthday.

"Dongwang, how old are you?" The Empress asked suddenly.

When Han Jian heard this, he seemed to understand that the empress was reminding him that the age gap between the two people was too big, and it was impossible to be a "good couple".

But the age is not considered by Han Jian at all. Han Jianxin said, I am a human being in two lives, and I am not older than you in terms of age?

"Hui Majesty xià, minister eighteen ......"

"Eighteen years old, not too young, married, right?" The Empress asked.

"Yes." Han Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "The minister has married Miss Gu and the second lady of Nanwangfu. ”

The empress nodded slightly and said, "Yes." I can see you get married and set up a house, I am also at ease, and I will have to take care of the military and politics of Jiangdu in the future, and I will have more time to cultivate Buddhism. ”

Han Jian listened to the feeling that it was not quite right, a woman in her prime, although she was the Ninth Five-Year Honor, but she knew what the suffering of the boudoir was, if she wanted to rely on believing in Buddhism to dilute the "magic barrier" in her heart, Han Jian thought to himself, isn't it that he can't get along with himself?

"His Majesty is a person in the world, and the world is tied to His Majesty's body, and if He wants to withdraw, he can withdraw?" Han Jian asked suddenly.

"Huh?" The empress glanced at Han Jian with a little puzzlement in her eyes.

Although Han Jian's words were a bit straightforward, there was also a bit of Buddhist Zen in his words, and the empress didn't expect Han Jian to say such Zen words.

Han Jian continued: "Your Majesty wants to worship the Buddha, it can be said that you are a Buddha on the ground, and in the world, as long as you have a Buddha heart, you don't have to be entangled in foreign affairs. Why do you need the ancient Buddha to stay away from the hustle and bustle? ”

The empress squinted at Han Jian and said, "King Dong, do you know how to cultivate Buddhism?" ”

Han Jian shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't understand. ”

"Then what you say is just your one-sided words after all! Put away your delusional heart and stop being obsessed. The Empress said with a grim expression.

Han Jian replied in a tough tone: "The minister thinks that it is His Majesty who is obsessed. ”

"You ......"

The empress was slightly angry, but sighed again, as if she sensed that she couldn't persuade Han Jian with just a few words. She wasn't ready to persuade again.

At this time, the emperor was ready and had stopped on the road outside the dense forest. Because the empress specifically proposed to talk to Han Jian, no one dared to come over and disturb her.

"Your Majesty, please go back to the palace." Han Jian said.

The Empress sighed and walked forward, followed by Han Jian. When the empress went to the emperor's throne, Han Jian got on the horse and followed the emperor's side.

The guards of the East Palace's Mansion opened the way in front, and the people came out to watch along the way, but they couldn't see the true face of the empress. However, seeing that the king of the east was with the empress, the people of Jiangdu still continued to cheer, which means that the rumors outside are untrue, and the king of the east is not a traitor.

As the emperor arrived at the Chengdong Mansion, there were more people watching from the periphery of the Mansion. When the empress stepped down from the palace, the people were shocked when they saw that the rumored empress was a Buddhist person. The ban on Buddha in the Wei Dynasty was not an overnight thing, and now even the emperor is doing this, doesn't that mean that the ban on Buddha in the Wei Dynasty will have no meaning?

After all, there are many followers of Buddhism in Jiangdu, and they also have a lot of comfort in their hearts, believing that this is a signal that the Wei Dynasty has lifted the ban on Buddhism.

Freedom of belief is at all times the highest spiritual level that people aspire to.

When the empress entered the palace, the ministers had already divided into factions and lined up outside according to the level of official quality to wait to see the empress. Originally, the temporary government office of the imperial court was also used as a place for the empress to meet with hundreds of officials.

In the more than half a year that the empress has been in Jiangdu, it is the first time that she has met with ministers publicly, and many ministers have prepared a lot of things to start, and the most acute of them is naturally the dispute over power between the officials of the Luoyang faction of the imperial court and the officials of the Eastern Palace.
