The killing of the Wenwu Hall of the Imperial Palace on the night of the Shangyuan Festival has not yet dissipated, and by the second day, martial law has begun everywhere in the city, although the imperial court has won the battle in the north, the news has reached the people, but it is not a jubilant scene, some people realize that a struggle for power in Luoyang has begun. ∈ ♀ from Han Jian, the king of the east, leading troops into the palace, to the civil and military ministers of the imperial court being placed under residential surveillance, and then to martial law in the city, it seems to be a step, and the eastern palace is going to take power. That would mean that a ritual of meditation seems to be on the horizon as well.

Han Jian went to the Yamen of the military station early in the morning, and the road was very deserted, which was in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the Shangyuan Festival in the city yesterday.

The military meeting lasted for two hours at a time, and the discussion was on the withdrawal of troops from the north and the question of staying behind, together with the deployment of troops and horses and the dispatch of grain and grass. When the military meeting was over, Han Jian didn't want to go into the palace to see Yang Rui, but he had to go to see Yang Rui's reaction. Since yesterday, he has not asked about Yang Rui, but he knows that this matter once again puts him and Yang Rui on the opposite side.

And after he entered the palace, the first person he saw was Yang Xi.

Yang Xi, who was originally nesting in the East Palace as a shrinking turtle, stood nervously in the corner and shadow of the corridor in the palace, as if he was afraid of being seen, but when he saw Han Jian, he ran over from afar, and he was still paying attention to whether anyone saw him along the way. Han Jian frowned when he saw Yang Xi, if he wanted to say that Yang Xi's expression seemed to be something big, but it was only relative to Yang Xi. After Yang Xi returned from Southern Qi, his worldview no longer seemed to be the same as ordinary people.

"Brother Han, you ...... It's coming. I've been waiting for you here all morning. Yang Xi ran over and panted, "I know that you have to pass through here to find my sister." Ahem, I ...... I've got something for you. ”

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, a good young man, who has been a proton for two years. When I came back, not only did I collapse mentally, but even my body was so bad.

"Tell me something." Han Jian was not in a hurry to find Yang Rui, anyway, he was going to touch the mold, and it was good to talk to Yang Xi. In his heart, he always felt a little guilty about Yang Xi's going to the Southern Dynasty, and he once said in front of Yang Rui that this was an experience for Yang Xi. But who knows that Yang Xi, who has been trained a lot, seems to have made no other progress except for becoming a little bit of a sunny boy.

Yang Xi calmed down for a moment before he said nervously: "My sister ...... Yesterday I sent many palace maids to me, it's terrible, I ...... I didn't even dare to spend the night in the palace last night. ”

Han Jian frowned, yesterday was the time when he led the troops into the palace, was Yang Rui angry after he went back, and he wanted to find a way to retaliate but to send a woman to Yang Xi? said that the list of the second batch of show girls had been submitted. It's just that the festival has been delayed, Yang Rui doesn't think he is perfunctory, so he just gives up the distance and asks for some palace maids in the palace to send them to Yang Xi, right?

"Why didn't you tell your sister personally?"

“…… I'm afraid. Yang Xi replied very shyly, and there seemed to be something jealous in his heart.

Han Jian sighed: "The prince is not young now, so why not have a few more women around him?" But didn't find the one you liked? ”

"No...... No, I didn't want to marry any concubines, I said it last time my sister went to see me, but my sister didn't listen. She insisted on sending the woman over whatever she said. Now Brother Han, you have a different relationship with my sister, you go and say. My sister will definitely listen to it. Yang Xi looked at Han Jian pitifully, as if pleading.

Han Jianxin said that it might be effective for others to say it, and he went to tell Yang Rui that it was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, Yang Rui didn't send a few palace maids, and even let those palace maids forcibly kill Yang Xi.

"After all, your sister wants you to cheer up sooner, if only you can pick yourself up again. Then your sister will change her mind. Han Jian said.

Yang Xi blinked and asked inexplicably, "How to cheer up?" ”

"It's very simple, don't nest in the palace every day, come out to help your sister share her worries, even if you can't do much. You can also learn slowly, as long as you come out, your sister will see your progress, and when the time comes, your sister will not object to anything. After Han Jian finished speaking, he found that what he said seemed to be a little evil, as if he was leading people to commit crimes.

"That'...... Then I'll listen to you. You go and say to my sister, I'm cheering up, let her take those palace maids, okay? Yang Xi looked at Han Jian with pleading again.

Han Jian no longer talked nonsense, but pulled Yang Xi's collar and said, "Didn't you say cheer up?" Go, come with me to your sister and prove it to her. ”

"Ah...... You let go, I'm ...... I'll just go, don't do that, I'm ...... It's not that I don't want to see my sister, it's that she's so fierce, and you let me ...... It's better to go back and get ready to see her again. ”

Yang Xi is like a wreck, and he feels like he can't grow up a child. Han Jian thought to himself, no wonder Yang Rui wanted to force Yang Xi to do something, how could he be worried about being a sister and a mother?

Han Jian still didn't let go, and said, "Listen, if you don't go together, I'll ask your sister to send a few more people over, and when the time comes, I will press you to the head of the bed, and let a bunch of people ravage you, and you can do it yourself." ”

"That'...... Then you also let go and hold on like this...... I, I can't go. ”

Han Jian let go of his hand at this time, but Yang Xi followed behind with a sad face, as if he was a dead father.

When they arrived at the courtyard of Ye'an Pavilion, the eunuch waiting outside was still a little surprised when they saw Han Jian and Yang Xi coming together, and now the people in the palace also knew about Han Jian bringing troops into the palace yesterday, and they were afraid that Han Jian came to force the palace this time, but this time Han Jian brought not many people, and he walked with Yang Xi, the prince, and it seemed that he did not have the intention of forcing the palace.

"Is it possible to be inside?" Han Jian didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

"Back to His Highness, His Majesty is still in the palace and has not yet come out."

Han Jian looked at the sky, it was already past noon, and Yang Rui had already come to Ye'an Pavilion at this time. Yang Rui is the kind of person who is very dedicated.

But after thinking about it, now that the court has been served by him, all the courtiers are ordered not to come out at home, and they are not even allowed to communicate with others, Yang Ruiming knows that he has nothing to do when he arrives at Ye'an Pavilion, and he has no government affairs to deal with, how can he still come over?

"When I went to pass the word to His Majesty, I said that the king and the prince came together to ask for peace, and there was something important to discuss." Han Jian said.

The little eunuch didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly entered the dormitory to spread the word.

Han Jian asked Yang Xi to wait outside, but Yang Xi looked left and right as if he was afraid of this place and was ready to slip away at any time.

"Brother Han...... I...... I'm in a hurry to urinate, and I'm going to be respectful. Yang Xi's legs were not only a little trembling. Even his body trembled a little, and occasionally strange palace maids and eunuchs passed by, and he didn't even dare to raise his head. It's like being a thief.

Han Jian sneered: "Do you want to escape and go back to face those women, or stay and talk to your sister and let your sister feel that you have improved." No more restraints imposed on you? ”

Yang Xi thought about it, and finally said dejectedly: "I'm ...... I don't want to be controlled by my sister all the time. ”

"That's good, wait honestly, your sister is coming over soon."

Sure enough, not long after Han Jian finished speaking, Yang Rui came out in a hurry, not only in a hurry, but also a little angry, and shouted as soon as he came over: "What are you doing?" What is happening to me, why are you embarrassed by Xi'er? And bring him over. But are you going to kidnap Xi'er? ”

Han Jianxin said that the fire in Yang Rui's heart was not old, and this must have been when he forcibly pulled Yang Xi over.

"Sister...... You misunderstood Brother Han, actually...... It's me who is wrong. Yang Xi said with a bitter face.

Yang Rui saw Yang Xi standing there in a good manner, and he didn't seem to be forced or abused, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and his complexion improved a little, but he also glanced at Han Jian and said, "Why don't you go in and wait?" ”

Han Jian said with an indifferent face: "It's winter, it's good to come out and bask in the sun." ”

Yang Rui glared at Han Jian. Entering the Ye'an Pavilion first, Han Jian walked inside. Seeing that Yang Xi was standing there and not moving, he also pulled him, and then he entered one after another.

"Say there's something important, what's the matter?" Yang Rui didn't sit down, but stood in front of the desk, looked at Han Jian and asked.

Han Jian pushed Yang Xi. said: "Let the prince do it." ”

"I ...... I say...... What am I talking about? Brother Han, don't you mean ......" Yang Xi looked anxious, and his whole body began to tremble, with an unnatural look.

"Forgot what I told you?" Han Jian glanced at him and said.

Yang Xi thought about it and was on the way over. Han Jian did explain to him and asked him to say something to Yang Rui to reassure Yang Rui, so that he could not be controlled too much.

"Sister...... I...... I want to come out and help you do things...... No, sister, you're too worried, my business...... I can ...... myself Can be disposed of. Yang Xi paused and repeated it many times before he finished speaking, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

Even so, Yang Rui was a little surprised, this was a lot of progress compared to the devastated brother in her mind.

"Xi'er, what you said is true?" Yang Ruiqing was also a little excited.

"Yes...... Be. Yang Xi said, but he still glanced at Han Jian, wanting to ask Han Jian's opinion, but at this time, Han Jian would definitely not help him say anything.

Yang Rui nodded slightly, but there was also a little comfort in his heart, and said: "Someone came to report yesterday, saying that you didn't go back all night, and thought that something happened to you, and people looked for you all night, where did you go?" ”

"I ...... I hid. Yang Xi said truthfully.

Han Jian interrupted: "The prince is hiding quietly and thinking things out." ”

Yang Rui glared at Han Jian angrily and said, "Did I ask you?" ”

Han Jian pursed his lips, but Yang Xi said, "Sister, Brother Han, what he said is right...... I...... I figured it out. I can do something for my sister, but my sister ...... To send those palace maids over...... I don't need them to serve, I'm used to being alone. ”

"That's good. My sister will pass the word over and let those palace maids go back. But...... It's useless for you to just talk, you have to look at your watch. Yang Rui frowned slightly, and seemed to notice that things seemed to have changed too suddenly, how could Yang Xi take the initiative to come over and ask her for instructions to do things? Is he still with Han Jian now, or was this qiē instigated by Han Jian?

"That sister...... I...... I want to go back to sleep. Shall we start tomorrow? Yang Xi had a bitter face, he hadn't slept since last night, his eyes were red at this time, and his whole person looked a little broken.

"Good. That's what makes it possible for someone to send you back. Yang Rui said again.

"No...... No, I can go back myself. I know the way myself, so I don't have to bother others. ”

After Yang Xi finished speaking, he didn't even salute, he simply turned around and went out, and trotted all the way out of the courtyard of Ye'an Pavilion, I love you during the winter vacation, although Yang Xi listened to his words and said what he should say, but there was still too much fear and resistance in his heart.

Yang Rui was also standing by the window, looking at Yang Xi's back, and couldn't help sighing. What Han Jian could see, why couldn't she see it?

"You taught him those words?" Yang Rui didn't look back and asked.

"I taught him what he said, but he also accepted it in his heart, otherwise it would not seem to be helpful to rely on what I said." Han Jian said.

"But he's a kid after all." Yang Rui sighed.

Han Jian smiled and said, "That's in your eyes." In fact, the prince is nineteen years old, and he has long been able to come out and take charge of himself, just because you have always treated him as a child, so even he himself has not come out of this position. Some things can be forced, but they can't be done too much, otherwise he will only be trapped in his own position and cannot be detached. ”

Yang Rui looked back at Han Jian, she felt very strange about Han Jian's preachy tone, after all, Han Jian was the same age as Yang Xi, but the tone of his speech was old-fashioned. There were some words that even she couldn't refute.

"So what are you going to do with it...... Yesterday's event? ”

Han Jian said: "I am here to discuss this matter with you. As on the previous occasion, all offenders will be prosecuted, and those who have no evidence will not be prosecuted. ”

Yang Rui sneered: "The imperial court has become your imperial court in the end, and you can say a word better than a hundred words for me, who is an emperor." ”

"Why do you say such angry things? Am I not doing this for the foundation of the Yang family? ”

"Yang's foundation? Hmph, I'm afraid that when you dominate the rivers and mountains, you will not take our Yang people in your eyes for a long time, and when the time comes, you will usurp the throne and become the emperor without being instigated by others, and you will still recognize our mother and son at that time...... Brother and sister? Yang Rui said, but he couldn't help wiping his tears.

These words were hidden in her heart, and she felt too wronged, but now she was pregnant with Han Jian's flesh and blood, but she was treated like Han Jian yesterday. She already felt that Han Jian was not far from the day when he would really ascend to the throne, even if she believed that Han Jian didn't have this heart now, but the world was impermanent, and when it really needed Han Jian to ascend the throne as the emperor in order to stabilize the situation in the world, she believed that with Han Jian's current courage and ambition, she would definitely be able to do it.

"You misunderstood me."

Han Jian stepped forward, but he hugged Yang Rui's body from behind, but his hand caressed her abdomen.

"It is precisely because I want to help you dominate the rivers and mountains that I can't be a rebel. In my heart, you are more important than that. Have you ever heard of someone who doesn't love the country and loves beauty? (To be continued.)
