Chapter 440: The Emperor's Man
"King Dong, what kind of intentions do you have? I want to go on a personal expedition, and I'm the last one to know? Are you going against the odds? You're going to keep me in the dark completely, aren't you? ”
In the small hall next to the empress's bedroom, the empress stood up and looked at Han Jian who was tilting his head in front of him and making an impatient look.
The empress found that when no one was around, even if she was furious, Han Jian could ignore it, completely go her own way, and not treat her as a ninety-five.
"King Dong, what do you have to say?" The empress asked in a tone that had not yet calmed down.
"Your Majesty wants to say, albeit first...... No, it's scolding. After the scolding is over, the minister will say a few words that are not listening, anyway, in the ears of His Majesty, the minister's words are equivalent to not saying them. ”
"What's your attitude? King Dong, you are becoming more and more presumptuous, and you don't know the severity! "The empress was still feeling sorry for Han Song's attitude before, and then Han Jian came to tell her what to say, she was angry with Han Jian, not really angry, but to show an attitude, that is, everything must be discussed with me first, and I will make a decision.
Han Jian continued to be silent and did not speak.
The empress calmed down and said, "What do you have to say, say!" ”
"Your Majesty insists on going back to Luoyang, dare to ask, is Your Majesty going back alone, or is it going to be escorted by the East Palace?" Han Jian asked directly.
"I don't need your Dongwang Mansion to be pretentious! I want to go back to Luoyang, and I don't need you to fight a single soldier. ”
"Since His Majesty wants to go back so much, why didn't He go back to Luoyang when His Majesty disappeared before? Isn't this more respectful of the people of the world. Have you forgotten the people of the world? Han Jian asked again in a strange tone.
The empress's face was a little dark, this kind of words, that is to say, she chose to go back to Luoyang, more because Luoyang has been recovered, in the hands of the East Palace, she said that there is no need for the East Palace, the East Palace will really let her go alone?
But now that Han Jian said this, it was tantamount to revealing her "disguise", which made her feel very annoyed.
"King of the East. If you have an opinion, just say it. Did your second mother inform you about my transfer to Xi'er? "The Empress said.
"Huh?" Han Jian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized why Han Song's previous attitude was so strange. It turned out that the empress said that the throne was passed on to Yang Xi. Han Song was so insistent on letting the empress return to Luoyang. also reminded him that sooner or later there would be contradictions and disputes between him and the empress, which was not clear enough to sue him, and the empress simply let him go back to Luoyang. Don't care about this matter?
Han Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Erniang, Erniang, you are also thinking about me, and you can even ignore Your Majesty's affection. What else does this say?
"Could it be...... Didn't you say it? Seeing Han Jian's attitude, the empress asked with some doubts.
"Why would your majesty think that my second mother would say this to me?" Han Jian asked rhetorically.
The empress was slightly silent, she naturally wouldn't say that she figured it out herself after Han Song's departure. After Han Song's left, she was also thinking about why Song Lan'er, who was respectful to her at the beginning, would still be cold to her today, which was not the case when she saw her before. On second thought, it may be that he said the wrong thing and said that he wanted to pass the prince back to Yang Xi.
But this is also what she feels indebted to the Yang family and wants to do for the Yang family. Because now she already feels that if the world continues to be in turmoil, she may come to the Wei Dynasty to be "martyred", or she may become a nun and never ask about earthly matters for life. But once the Wei Dynasty is pacified, and Han Jian is the leader, she will travel and promise to marry into the East Palace, and an emperor will enter the East Palace with the attitude of committing to marry, and the power will inevitably be occupied by the East Palace, then Han Jian will be the actual emperor in the future, which is equivalent to making her a sinner of the Yang family.
She didn't think about it so much, and when she thought about it again, saying for no reason that passing the throne back to Yang Xi, who was working as a proton, would naturally make Han Song's family feel sad, after all, Jiang Du had accepted her and those in the imperial court who were not treated well by several other forces.
"Didn't say it...... That's it. First of all, why did I want to go on the expedition? ”
When the empress said this, the anger in her heart before disappeared, after all, she had not mentioned it to Han Jian before on the issue of passing the throne back to Yang Xi. And what Han Jian told her at the beginning was that she could continue to be the lord of the world in the future, and their children would be the heirs of the royal family, and they would not break the incense of the Yang family.
"Since His Majesty wants to go back to Luoyang, it is naturally logical for him to drive in person. And it can also make the South Wangfu surrender by the way, and the West Wangfu withdraw its troops, why not? Han Jian said.
"Then why didn't you consult with me in advance?" The empress stared at Han Jian, and her tone was a little retracted, and said.
"The relationship between the minister and His Majesty has been rigid recently, and others don't know, do you still use the minister to remind you? Some things, the minister made a decision and then came to inform Yu Majesty, so as not to hurt the interests of His Majesty and the Wei Dynasty royal family, and His Majesty also came to reprimand Yu Chen, is it a little unfair? ”
The empress let out a long sigh and said, "Then you are preparing to accompany me to the royal expedition, right?" ”
"Yes." Han Jian replied directly.
"Then do you want me to make a promise that once I return to Luoyang, the soldiers and horses of the Eastern and Southern Palaces will enter Luoyang City and make the Western and Northern Palaces submit, and then let me fulfill my promise and marry the East Wangfu as your wife?" The empress said with a sad face.
Han Jian smiled coldly: "The minister is not so prepared. Didn't the minister say to His Majesty that between the minister and His Majesty, he didn't seek fame, and he didn't want His Majesty to fall into a dilemma? ”
"Then you're letting me ...... Secretly in contact with you? You are not afraid of the world, when you are my ......"
The Empress was halfway through her sentence and went on.
In fact, in the latter words, needless to say, Han Jian can also guess that the content behind "You are my ......" is definitely not a good word. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Han Jian is a young talent, the lord of Jiangdu, and the empress is already a "half-old", this marriage, if there is no "compulsion" of the empress, how can Han Jian, who is the king of the east, "comply"?
But the truth is that this matter is fundamentally led by Han Jian himself. It was the empress he actively pursued. And in the marital relationship, he also took the initiative. The identity of the empress is a woman in the East Palace.
"What the people of the world think, the minister doesn't want to pay attention. In short, the minister did not have so many worries in his heart, and if it was beneficial to our dynasty, the minister chose to do it, if His Majesty felt that it was not suitable, then the matter of the royal drive was canceled, and Jiang Du would ignore the matter of Luoyang! ”
The empress said angrily: "This is your attitude of indifference? What's the difference between you and forcing me? ”
Han Jian spread his hands, meaning, what did I force you to do?
If you want to go to the expedition, then you have to go, and if you don't want to go, you have to go. Who told you to appear in Jiangdu, is it my Jiangdu's bargaining chip to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes"? If you are not happy, then Jiangdu will not care about Luoyang's affairs, and it is a big deal to abolish your throne and support others.
The empress glared at Han Jian for a long time, and Han Jian stood there without explaining. Finally, the empress sighed and said, "King Dong, do you know that I can kill you now!" ”
"If Your Majesty kills me, the people of the Eastern Palace's Mansion will naturally not surrender to Your Majesty, and my aunts will also seek justice for me. When the time comes, the river capital will be in chaos, and it will definitely not be His Majesty who will benefit, but those who have a heart. Han Jian said in a calm tone.
The empress glanced at Han Jian again, and Han Jian's words were indeed about the hurdles. She just wanted to kill, but she couldn't, not to mention, she didn't want to kill yet.
"King Dong, go back. I will leave it to you to handle the affairs of the royal conquest. When I turn around, I will draft a holy decree and entrust you to appoint you as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. "The Empress said.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, what kind of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, ministers are not rare. As I said, I want someone from His Majesty, not a false name. As long as His Majesty and the minister are married now, even if only the two of us know, what His Majesty wants to do in the future, the minister will not object. Han Jian still said in an angry tone.
The empress frowned coldly, as if she had been forced to marry. And the conditions proposed by Han Jian are indeed a little "tempting", as long as she is committed to Han Jian, Han Jian will listen to her in everything. It's just that she feels a little unbelievable about this, after all, it's just Han Jian's words.
"Why do you think I will believe you?" The Empress asked coldly.
"If you don't try, how will you know? In fact, the minister's heart is very pure, but His Majesty thinks that the minister's heart is very dirty, and His Majesty don't forget, the minister is just a seventeen-year-old boy, how can he have those tricks? ”
As soon as Han Jian said this, the empress suddenly realized that she was talking to a seventeen-year-old boy.
A teenager can have such a city in his heart? But thinking about it again, Han Jian didn't seem to hide the secret in his heart, can this also be regarded as a city government?
"Alright, you go down. Anyway, I will personally announce to the people of the world that I will personally drive the conquest. The empress didn't want to talk nonsense with Han Jian, so she said directly.
"Then the minister went back first."
After Han Jian finished speaking, he turned around and left directly, ignoring even the basic etiquette of retreating.
In ancient times, retirement was the most basic etiquette for subordinates to their superiors. Because the action of turning around and giving people the back is disrespectful.
The empress looked at Han Jian's back, knowing that Han Jian was angry with her, she was still a little angry in her heart. Think again, why do you want to be angry with a teenage "child"? Is it because this teenager is the only man in her life who is likely to marry normally?
In this world, except for Han Jian, who dared to propose marriage so bluntly, and could show a reciprocal relationship in front of her, or even suppress her relationship. Others either don't have the courage or don't have the heart.
And Han Jian walked back to Dongwang's Mansion and went directly back to Yang Li'er's small courtyard.
When Yang Li'er saw Han Jian coming back, she stepped forward and said, "It seems that Xianggong is in a good mood today." ”
"Of course, the weather is good, and the mood is naturally good." Han Jian said with a smile.
"Could it be...... Is it you who is making progress with that woman outside? Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian and asked.
"Pretty much." Han Jian continued to laugh.
"Humph! Eating in the pot and looking at the pot, it's really like others say, men don't have a good thing. Hmph, hey...... Xianggong, don't scratch it...... All right...... The concubine is wrong......" (to be continued......)
