Han Jian stayed in the barracks, and only Yang Li'er was by his side. These days, although Yang Li'er and Han Jian have not had a round house, Yang Li'er is as conscientious as a wife, although Yang Li'er is not suitable for a good wife and mother, and she can't do many things if she has the heart to do it. Because she was supposed to take an apology, not a needle and thread.

Han Jian didn't need Yang Li'er to make any changes for him, and he didn't marry Yang Li'er to marry a cooking wife. He didn't have any reluctance about what Yang Li'er did, although he knew that Yang Li'er was trying to change, he didn't stop it, in Han Jian's opinion, some things were just fine. If Yang Li'er doesn't change anything, he will be disappointed, because it will mean that Yang Li'er is not ready to be a wife.

On the third day after Han Cui and Han Zhao entered the city, Jiangdu City sent envoys over again. Han Jian originally thought that the empress would send Han Cui's and Han Zhao's back again, but no, this time it was Gu Weipan, who had just been promoted to Taifu, who led the envoys over.

The state minister personally brought the envoy over with him, and Han Jian guessed that this might be the empress deliberately putting pressure on him. But when Gu Weipan entered the barracks, saw him, and told the empress what he meant, Han Jian knew that he had too much heart.

Gu Weipan entered the barracks, and did not put pressure on Han Jian as an imperial envoy, but seemed to be an ordinary envoy. When Gu Weipan arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, he did not read the holy decree, but forwarded the official document to the empress.

Han Jian read the official document, and it turned out that the empress was ready to continue to hand over the military and political power to him. According to the empress's will, the administration and military affairs of Jiangdu in the future will be completely in charge of Han Jian. And there is the power to act cheaply.

The official document is also very vague, and after Han Jian read it, he didn't know how much authority Ao had to "act cheaply", did he do whatever he wanted without asking the empress for anything? Isn't it that the empress herself has set herself up in the air, and the empress will talk so well?

"Gu ...... Taifu, what does it mean? "After all, Han Jian and Gu Weipan are old acquaintances, and since some things are said in private, they don't need to be too formal.

"It's not clear what His Majesty said in the official letter?" Gu Weipan sighed. "Recently, His Majesty has not been in good health. I'm ready to leave things to you. Although you are not a prisoner now, it is like exercising the power of a prisoner. ”

It's the prison again. Han Jian is a little shy about the name of the prison country, unless the prison country is the emperor's son, some things can not be replaced by anyone who wants to replace the son of heaven. And the prison state should also have a time limit. Otherwise, it will be trespassing. Sooner or later it will be liquidated.

"What does Mrs. Gu think?" Han Jian asked.

"You ask the old man?" Gu Weipan shook his head helplessly. "This is the meaning of His Majesty, how can the old man casually make delusions? His Majesty has announced to the world, saying that it is the matter of King Qin in the future. It will be the sole responsibility of you, the king of the east. By the way, His Majesty also asked the old man to ask you, when will you enter the city? ”

Han Jian smiled, although Gu Weipan was also an honest person, but at this time, it was difficult to guarantee that he was not sent by the empress to lure him into the city. Now that the empress has seen through his intentions and knows that he is going to engage in a power struggle, she will not sit idly by and hand over power like this, in the end, Han Jian is not at ease.

"Chief Gu, please rest first, and let me think about it when I return to the city?" Han Jian asked tentatively.

"Still want to think?" Gu Weipan got up and said, "If you want to think about it earlier, Your Majesty will let the old man go back early, so that he will not stay in the barracks for a long time." ”

Han Jian nodded and said, "In that case, I will send Mrs. Gu out of the barracks." ”

"Hmm." Gu Weipan nodded, and Han Jian left the barracks before and after, and Han Jian personally sent him into the carriage back to Jiangdu.

From beginning to end, Gu Weipan didn't even mention his marriage to Gu Xin'er, Han Jian guessed that Gu Weipan couldn't have known that he had married Yang Li'er in Yuzhou first, but this time Gu Weipan's attitude was very peaceful, which was a little beyond his imagination.

The day after Gu Weipan returned to the city, the Jiangdu direction sent envoys over again. This time the envoy came in the afternoon, and Han Jian personally greeted him, but it was just a team of envoys led by a few officials who had been temporarily promoted to the Ministry of Rites. However, Han Jian noticed that there seemed to be someone in a carriage, and the people in the carriage never got down.

Han Jian greeted the envoy first, and then Zhang Xingcai came over to communicate, saying that someone was waiting for him in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Who?" Han Jian asked.

"Yes...... 陛xià. Zhang Xing's face was a little embarrassed.

Han Jian was really surprised, the empress actually came to the barracks in person? Just for the sake of him not returning to the city? Han Jian finally understood why the carriage was so mysterious, it turned out that the empress was inside.

"How many people did His Majesty bring here?" Han Jian asked again.

"There is only His Majesty, and there is also the young master." Zhang Xingdao.

Han Jian nodded, it turned out that his beautiful master Fa Yi also came.

Han Jian didn't think much about it, since the empress came in person, the meaning of the show of favor was already obvious, and he had no reason not to see it.

Han Jian walked out of the camp tent and went to the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he arrived at the gate of the big tent of the Chinese army, there was no guard from Jiangdu, which showed that the empress was very low-key this time, and she didn't even bring her entourage. Maybe even the people in the envoy team didn't know that the empress was traveling with them, because the number of attendants in this envoy team was very small, and there was no guard that the empress should have when traveling.

Han Jian arrived at the tent door and saw Fa Yi. Fa Ye saw Han Jian, nodded slightly, and motioned for Han Jian to go in.

"Master, aren't you together?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

"No need." Fa Yi smiled slightly and personally opened the curtain for Han Jian.

Han Jian walked into the big tent, and there was only one light lit in the big tent, and the huge space was a little dim in modern times. A man in a gray robe with his back to the door, looking at the things on the desk, didn't seem to hear Han Jian enter the door.

Han Jian wasn't sure if the person in front of him was the empress, and from his back, he couldn't tell the identity of this person, so he didn't salute, because he didn't know what he should say to the empress in such an embarrassing place.

"Jian'er, is that you?" As soon as the empress spoke, from the sound, Han Jian judged that it was the empress.

This is the first time Han Jian has heard the empress call him "Jian'er".

"The minister gives His Majesty Xià please be safe." Han Jian hurriedly bowed his hand.

The empress turned slightly, her body was elegant, and she took off her style by the way. The empress's face was a little pale, bloodless, and there was no makeup, even if it was carved by Qing Shui, it was also beautiful and refined, with a little majesty, accompanied by a gentle smile, which made Han Jian feel a little emotional. How can this be a stepmother?

"I'm fine." The Empress smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Come and sit." ”

The more intimate the empress became, the more unnatural Han Jian felt, and at this time the empress was "forced" to go out of the city to see him, because he refused to enter the city, and with 100,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, the empress went to the barracks alone. At this time, no matter what Han Jian said, he had to keep a certain distance from the empress, which could be regarded as his attitude.

"Your Majesty, but the minister is disrespectful, and please atone for your sins." Han Jian said in a calm tone.

The empress sighed slightly, and said, "Yesterday, I asked Mrs. Gu to come over and deliver a message for you, but you received it?" ”

"Yes." Han Jian replied.

"You should know what I mean. In the past ten years since I was in power, I have been tired, and now Luoyang is plotted by the rebels, and you are the only one I can rely on. The empress looked at Han Jian, her eyes were full of affection, but this affection was with family affection, and it didn't seem to be mixed with any male and female affection, "Jian'er, do you understand?" ”

"陛xià strict zhòng." Han Jian said, "There is no shortage of loyal and good generals in the Wei Dynasty, they will help His Majesty to clear up internal troubles, and the micro-ministers are shallow in their studies, and they are fledgling and reckless, how can they help His Majesty achieve great things?" ”

When the empress heard Han Jian say this, the smile on her face disappeared, and she said, "Jian'er, are you still holding a grudge against me for sending you to the Qi Dynasty?" ”

"I don't dare." Han Jian gave up.

The empress said with a bit of self-reproach on her face: "I was also too heavy that day, and after reprimanding you, I said something to make you an envoy in a fit of anger. I regretted it afterwards. When I was in the palace and saw you come to the rescue, I didn't know how relieved I was, and I thought you didn't mind this matter...... Alas! It seems that I have disappointed you too much. ”

Han Jian smiled reluctantly, what the empress said made him a little unbelievable.

When the empress saw him on a snowy night, she not only did not express her gratitude, but also insisted on staying in the palace. At this time, he said how happy he was at that time, although Han Jian did not hold a grudge against the empress, but at this time, in order to win him over, the empress said this, which made him a little upset.

In the final analysis, Han Jian didn't know that the empress cared about him, he just hated it, and the empress's concern for him was entirely because of his father, not because of him. This made Han Jian feel annoyed, Han Jian did not do this to help his stepmother, now he refuses to return to the city, in addition to preventing the empress from seizing power against him, more importantly, he wants to prove to the empress that there are some things he can do very well, and he does not need the empress to preach or guide him.

Han Jian said: "Your Majesty is serious. The minister did not dare to forget His Majesty's teachings. The minister will also fulfill his responsibilities and dare not slack off. ”

The empress sighed, "It seems that Jian'er still refuses to forgive me. ”

After speaking, the empress turned around and seemed to be a little emotional.

Han Jian didn't say much, and the two of them were silent for a long time before the empress turned her head, walked slowly to this side, and said, "Let me take a good look at you." ”

Han Jian took two steps back, deliberately drawing a line with the empress.

When the empress saw Han Jian's behavior, she didn't step forward and sighed, "What do you want me to do before you are willing to go back and become your king of the east?" ”

Han Jian smiled and said nothing. Even if the empress appeared in front of him and came to persuade him personally, his mind still did not change. Whether he goes back now or not, the main thing is not to look at the empress, nor to look at him, but to see when he can control the overall situation. Now he is just an empty king of the east, even if the empress gives him any promises, he returns to the city, and the empress still has a way to control him.

In the face of power, few people will speak of principles. (To be continued......)
