Han Jian glanced at Lin Ke, who looked a little unnatural on the side, and judging from his expression, Lin Ke didn't know what Ning Yuan was going to say. In other words, when it came to discussing this matter with him in private, Ning Yuan did not have any communication with Lin Ke in advance. That's improvisation.

"Ning Shangshu, I'm waiting to see the driver, talking in such private, won't it make people think that we have some plot? It's better to be careful and avoid taboos. Han Jian said coldly.

Ning Yuan's face was quite calm, but when he heard Han Jian say this, his face was also a little urgent, and he said: "His Royal Highness the East King, the old minister has some good strategies for pacifying the bandits, but I just want to say something, and I hope that His Royal Highness the East King is willing to give a face." ”

Han Jian smiled, the "bandits" that Ning Yuan said were undoubtedly the West Wangfu and the North Wangfu or Yang Yu who fled north, and Ning Yuan was a loyal military advisor of the "bandits" before, but now he came to speak to him?

Thinking about it, everyone knows that what Ning Yuan said is not true, this is an excuse for him to come and talk to him.

"Then Lin Shangshu will take the first step, and this king will go in after saying a few words to Ning Shangshu." Han Jian said to Lin Ke.

"Yes, yes." Lin Ke answered twice, and walked in the direction of Ye'an Pavilion first.

Ning Yuan looked at Lin Ke's departing back before retracting his gaze and said secretly: "I don't know if His Highness returned to Luoyang, but found that Luoyang City had changed?" ”

Han Jian said coldly: "Ning Shangshu has something to say, this king doesn't have much time to talk nonsense with you here." ”

Han Jian's unceremonious words made Ning Yuan feel pressured. If you want to say who can save these old nobles in Luoyang City now, except for Han Jian, there is only the empress. But when they went to the empress to cry, they could only resign themselves to fate. But once Han Jian's permission is obtained, dozens of families in Luoyang may be preserved because of this.

"His Royal Highness the East King, the old minister has a reluctant request." Ning Yuan suddenly said with emotion.

"Oh?" Han Jian squinted at Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan continued: "The old minister heard that now the Qinwang army, the Eastern Wangjun and the Southern Wang's army are short of food and grass, so they want to contribute some meager strength, hoping to help the Qinwang army sweep away the rebellion as soon as possible. ”

Han Jian smiled coldly, now Ning Yuan was ready to exchange his family wealth for the stability of the family.

But this is simply wishful thinking. After these families were raided, all their property was lost, and everything could be used as military expenses at that time. Still use Ning Yuan to pretend to be a good person here?

"No need." Han Jian said. "There are rules in the army, even if the soldiers are hungry, they must not harass the people's livelihood. Now that the Qin Wangjun is not to the point of starvation, Ning Shangshu will put away your kindness. Keep it for you! ”

Anyway. Han Jian was leaving.

Ning Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of Han Fitness. said: "Why is Your Highness in a hurry, old minister...... The old minister has one more thing to say. ”

"Speak quickly! Don't procrastinate, Ning Shangshu. You and I are wise men, and if you don't tell me what you have come here, won't this king find out? Now these things are not led by this king, and if you come to negotiate the conditions with me, it is better to go and tell your majesty directly. Maybe your majesty is looking at your past merits, and maybe you can't be spared. ”

Ning Yuan's face changed, it was precisely because they couldn't communicate with the empress now, so they were forced to beg Han Jian in a low voice. Although he represents the Ning family, he also represents other powerful families in Luoyang City. can talk to Han Jian, but now there is only Ning Yuan.

"Your Highness, the little girl once came to the house to offend." Ning Yuan said, "The little girl is young and ignorant, and she is abrupt to His Royal Highness, and she hopes that His Majesty will forgive her sins." ”

"This king thought it was Ling Gongzi. This kind of thing, this king will not take it to heart, Ning Shangshu can rest assured. Han Jian said in a flat tone.

Ning Yuan suddenly had some unspeakable concealment, and said: "If the little girl offends His Highness, His Highness will not punish him, and the old minister cannot condone it." The old minister wants to ...... Send the little girl to the mansion and let His Highness punish ......"

Han Jian was about to leave, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Ning Yuan and said, "Ning Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" If this king doesn't punish you, you still have to send it to the door to punish you? Do you mean something else? ”

Ning Yuan said with a helpless expression: "Your Highness is above." What the old minister thinks is that now that His Majesty is returning to the dynasty, he should take stability as the first, and the old minister is so empty and vernacular to ask His Highness, and His Royal Highness may not be able to believe the sincerity of the old minister. The old minister naturally can't climb the East Palace, but the little girl is also born delicate, and letting her make cattle and horses for the East King should also be a kind of sincerity for the old minister to feel the emperor's grace and the suffering of the East King Qinwang. ”

This is Ning Yuan's plan to send his daughter out as an exchange chip.

Han Jian did not deny that Ning Yuan's daughter was also a beauty, but after all, she deliberately put on makeup as a man when she met, so she didn't see it really. But now it involves the life and death of more than a dozen or even dozens of families, and Han Jian still doesn't bother to do this kind of political exchange by sacrificing women.

"Ning Shangshu put away your thoughts, in this palace, there is no shortage of people who are like Qianjin as cattle and horses." After Han Jian finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Ning Yuan stopped in front of Han Jian again and said, "How about Your Highness wait for the old minister to finish speaking?" Lao Chen has something here......" As he spoke, Ning Yuan took out something that looked like a book from his arms, opened it, and inside was a book fold, vaguely written with some names, but they were all just with the same clan genealogy, and there were no exact names, only surnames, "These are the ladies and ladies of Luoyang City, if His Royal Highness the East King does not dislike it, they can be included in the mansion, I am not demanding, the court officials should be dismissed, and the others ...... I want to protect it, and I will never ask about the affairs of the court in the future. I only ask for the great grace of His Highness! ”

Saying that, Ning Yuan, who looked very backbone, actually knelt down for Han Jian in front of the public.

Han Jian looked at the book fold handed over by Ning Yuan, there were marriageable ladies from major families in Luoyang City, some were from famous families, and some were concubines, from thirteen to eighteen or nineteen years old, adding up to seventy or eighty people, and the birthdays of these women were also listed, as if he was asked to choose a concubine.

Han Jian took a closer look at the families listed in the list, many of them were not within the scope of this liquidation, and some people were also thieves, thinking that the imperial court would investigate them, so they included the women of their own family in it, which can be regarded as a way for the Luoyang nobles to show favor to the Dongwang Mansion. Han Jian didn't care much about the political marriage, but in the face of such a list, it was impossible to say that he was not moved. There are so many celebrities and ladies, as long as he nods, all of them can be received, and they are not entering the East Palace's mansion as the princess of the East, but as a woman without a name.

There is no shortage of women on the side of Han Fitness, he wants it, and he will have as many as he wants. But celebrities and ladies are not as many as they want. This involves a lot of political affairs, and whoever he marries will have to make an exchange of interests for political affairs. There is also such an exchange of interests this time, if he accepts these women, it means that he will let go of many families in Luoyang City that should be liquidated.

"Ning Shangshu, get up." Han Jian said, "Your gift, this king will accept it for the time being." ”

"Huh?" Ning Yuan knelt on the ground, stunned slightly, and then he understood that the East King seemed to have accepted the exchange conditions this time, which means that this time the exchange of the East King's forgiveness with the celebrities of the major families has been successful?

Han Jian added: "This king wants to explain in advance, this king can only do his best, if His Majesty insists on refusing, then this king has no other way." ”

"That's, that's." Ning Yuan got up from the ground, but his head was also dripping with cold sweat, and now that he could get the help of the East King, he already felt that it was commendable, but he sacrificed many celebrities and ladies, including several women from the Ning family. However, these celebrities were originally married in the form of political marriages, but now they are accepted by the East King, and the benefits they get may not be less than those of political marriages.

Han Jian said again: "Ning Shangshu, this king wants to remind you." His Majesty returned to the dynasty, in order to make great efforts to calm down the two northwestern provinces as soon as possible, if you have the heart, you should make a statement to Your Majesty, some words, you don't need this king to teach you how to say it, right? ”

"Yes, yes." Ning Yuan said resignedly, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart, what Han Jian said was a little obscure, and he basically didn't understand it.

Han Jian didn't say anything, folded the book into his arms, and strode towards the direction of Ye An Pavilion, while Ning Yuan wiped his sweat and still stood in the distance. Only when the empress comes, can he be qualified to enter the Ye'an Pavilion.

Han Jian arrived at Ye'an Pavilion, and at this time, in addition to Lin Ke, there were only two palace maids standing respectfully on the side of Ye'an Pavilion. At this time, I suddenly heard the announcement of the eunuch outside: "Your Majesty is coming to ......"

As the voice started, the officials outside all knelt down and saluted, and Han Jian and Lin Ke got up and were about to go out, but they saw that the empress had already walked in, except for a few little eunuchs around the empress, there was only one personal palace maid, but it was the little palace maid Hui'er who was waiting in front of the bed yesterday.

In the sun, Hui'er also looks a little delicate, but because of her young age, she has never seen a big scene, and when she sees so many people, she shrinks her head nervously, like a little mouse.

"Lin Shangshu, you step back first, I have something to discuss with the East King." The empress said, and said to the two palace maids, "You also retreat first." ”

"Yes."

Lin Ke and the two palace maids went out at the same time, and only Empress Han Jian and Hui'er were left in the entire Ye'an Pavilion.

"The minister gives His Majesty Xià please be safe." Han Jian bowed and saluted.

Yang Rui glanced at Han Jian and said, "Hui'er, go and close the door." In winter, the house is windy and too cold. ”

"Yes." Hui'er hurriedly closed the door and stood aside.

At this time, the door was closed, and there was no longer anything going on inside, so Han Jian was a little presumptuous, and he stepped forward to hold Yang Rui's waist, but Yang Rui dodged away.

"What's in my husband's arms?" Yang Rui suddenly looked at the rectangular book fold printed on Han Jian's chest and asked.

"Oh, it's the Chancellor's Notebook. Nothing. Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Rui gritted his teeth and said, "King Dong, you are so bold, you dare to deceive Yu Zhen?" (To be continued......)
