Chapter 747: Fighting in the Dark

Han Jian entered Yang Rui's dormitory, at this time Yang Rui had not yet gone to bed in loose clothes, she sat at the table holding Han Jian's book in her hand, with an angry look, because of Han Jian's arrival, her anger that had been calmed down also rose.

"Is there something wrong with calling me into the palace so late?" Han Jian didn't sit down, but stood there and asked.

Yang Rui sneered: "Look at what you're going to do!" A pariah, a woman who can even accept her as a concubine by her father, you actually asked me to make her the prime minister of Xiliang, and let her enjoy the privileges of a marquis. What are you going to do? Do you have to make her end up opposing the imperial court, and after setting up a small imperial court in the west, you know how vicious this kind of woman is? ”

Han Jian probably expected that Yang Rui did not have a good impression of Mrs. Luo, just like the peculiar jealousy of women and the hostility towards the women next to their men, Yang Rui persuaded Han Jian to stay away from Mrs. Luo from the very beginning. Mrs. Luo is a person from the old department of Xiliang, and she will not be loyal to Yunyun when she defects to the door of the East Palace, and Yang Rui has said a lot to Han Jian these words.

Han Jian looked calm, sat down and said, "Since you have used others, you must be rewarded now." Shouldn't there be clear rewards and punishments? If you always want to take and don't want to reward, then who will serve you? ”

"Then you shouldn't have named her the Minister of Xiliang! This is not clear to let me, who is the emperor, sue others, and I allow Xiliang to appear in the second court? Yang Rui said with no dissipation.

"I don't want to think about how much people have done for you." Han Jian poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Since a few years ago, she has been doing things for the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the imperial court, if it weren't for her." It may be that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Wangfu have already killed the Yellow River and occupied Luoyang. After that, she poured out all her wealth, so what's the harm in giving her a title that is almost imaginary? If it's like you. I always have the idea that these foreigners will have different hearts, and I am afraid that there are not many people under my command who can really drive and do things. ”

Yang Rui listened to Han Jian's words very easily, glared at Han Jian and said, "In this way, you have decided to play this matter?" ”

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded.

"Then what else do you ask me to do? What you want to do, I can't object to it, don't you say what the Xiliang State Minister is, even if the Xiliang Country Lord is sealed, it should have nothing to do with me? These things. I don't want to see it! Saying that, Yang Rui threw the book directly on the ground, looking at Han Jian with an annoyed expression, but he also seemed to be angry.

Han Jian sighed and said, "You don't need to be so angry. I just want to use her, and you and I will give back the old land of Xiliang to the people of Xiliang? At present, the Xianbei people have the intention of going south, if they can't use the Xiliang land as the first line of defense, once the Xiliang land falls into the hands of the Xianbei people. After that, even if the Xianbei people withdrew. I am afraid that this great territory will not be returned. Yangguan can only be used as the second line of the town guard, not as the main battlefield, which is completely different from the shape of Beiguan. ”

Yang Rui felt a little better when he heard this. What Han Jian said gave her an answer that was quite listening.

"Even so, she can't be given to the marquis, she's just a woman who can't be on the stage. She has no great achievements, let me tell the world that she is the marquis, how will the soldiers in the army look at the court? Yang Rui still insisted.

Han Jian smiled and said, "Shangshu Imperial Court is just a shape. You don't have to make a big deal about it, you just have to give her a title. As long as she gets the holy decree of the edict, even if there is no announcement from the imperial court. She will also be satisfied. When the face of the court is saved, she can also serve the court, isn't it killing two birds with one stone? ”

Yang Rui was relieved, but he was still a little resentful when he looked at Han Jian, but this resentment was closer to a small temper.

Han Jian hugged Yang Rui's body, Yang Rui still writhed a few times in Han Jian's arms, and finally let Han Jian go.

……

……

Seeing the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, because the imperial court pacified Guanzhong, even if there was no banquet in the palace in the schedule of the Spring Festival celebration, even the ordinary officials realized that there should be a lively banquet in the palace during this year's Spring Festival, and even Luoyang City should hold a grand celebration.

Yang Rui did not go to the Ministry of Rites to prepare, but the Ministry of Rites has been secretly already handling, in order to save expenses, the Ministry of Rites basically did not use the silver from the treasury this time, but adopted the method of donation, from the rich and large households around Luoyang to donate silver to organize, with the acquiescence of Shang Shutai and Yang Rui, the Ministry of Rites is also very diligent in doing things, as if to establish prestige for the court among the people. It's just that Han Jian hasn't been consulted about these things at all, and Han Jian shouldn't know if he knows about them.

It's just a small celebration, a faΓ§ade thing, as long as it doesn't involve gathering people to make trouble, Han Jian won't interfere lightly. The good thing that the whole world celebrates is actually to buy people's hearts.

Mrs. Luo's Xiliang Prime Minister was officially entitled by the imperial court, Mrs. Luo was grateful, and personally thanked Han Jian for his "cultivation", at this time Mrs. Luo was already radiant, and at the end of the year, she had begun to contact the people of the old department of Xiliang. Mrs. Luo officially became the minister of Xiliang, saying that she would not publicize it, but in order to facilitate her communication with the people in the old department of Xiliang, the imperial court still issued a decree. In this way, Li Yun's side was very disappointed, she was dedicated to doing things for the Dongwang Mansion, but she didn't expect that it was Mrs. Luo who got the title first in the end, she was naturally unwilling in her heart, but now that she was in Luoyang, she didn't dare to ask Han Jian anything in person, even when she came to do things and ask for peace, she lowered her head, for fear that Han Jian would think that she had a mind in her heart.

But since Han Jian has sealed Mrs. Luo, he is not afraid that Li Yun will have a mustard in his heart, on the contrary, Han Jian hopes that Li Yun will have a mustard in his heart.

On the afternoon of the 28th day of the lunar month, after Han Jian had arranged a meeting in Guanzhong to deploy the Xianbei people to the south, he met with Li Yun in the back hall of the yamen of the military station. Li Yun played all the things in Guanzhong, including the latest movements of the rebel party in Guanzhong, most of which had already been discovered by Daxiyanagi. The remnants of the rebel party in the Xiwangfu now only control a few cities, which is not as corresponding to the group situation at the beginning. After the people of Guanzhong saw that the imperial court had indeed ordered Guanzhong to recuperate and reduce taxes, even some soldiers who had originally rebelled with the party and rebelled returned to the fields and honestly went back to farming. The soil in Guanzhong is fertile, and because of this, it is also a place where soldiers must fight, and the people don't care about this. As long as you can live a stable life, it will be greater than one qiΔ“.

"Things are well done." Han Jian finally praised Li Yun.

Li Yun hurriedly saluted and said, "It is the honor of subordinates to do things for the young son. ”

"There is no need to say these words against your will." Han Jian said, "I guess you also know that Mrs. Luo was named the Minister of Xiliang by the imperial court. Princess Li, what do you think? ”

Li Yun lowered her head, don't say anything about this matter, she doesn't even want to hear it. Originally, the people in the old department of Xiliang saw that she had a close relationship with the Dongwang Mansion, and many of them came to join her, and even those who did not defect expressed their closeness and support. But only a few days after the imperial court named Mrs. Luo as the minister of Xiliang. The people from the old department of Xiliang turned the rudder and approached Mrs. Luo again, originally she thought that the people of the old department of Xiliang should hate Mrs. Luo to the bone. But in the field of power, there are no absolute friends and enemies. Even if Mrs. Luo is a traitor to the old department of Xiliang, after all, she was also the person in charge of money and grain in the eastern branch of the old department of Xiliang, and she is regarded as the "old subordinate" of the old department of Xiliang, and she still has the trust of some backbones of the old department of Xiliang.

"The subordinates don't dare to speak up." Li Yun lowered his head. But he gritted his teeth and said.

Han Jian sneered: "If you have any mind, just say it." Even this king knows that there must be a thorn in your heart. If it is the king in your position, you may not be able to accept Mrs. Luo as the minister of Xiliang. ”

Li Yun still lowered his head and did not answer.

Han Jian said again: "This king can only be assigned to help Mrs. Luo do things, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Li Yun was taken aback, looking up at Han Jian's eyes with a little trepidation, originally there was a disagreement between her and Mrs. Luo, but now in order to compete for Han Jian's trust, it can be said that she has completely torn her face, if Han Jian asks her to do things for Mrs. Luo, it is not equivalent to pushing her into the fire pit?

"Young boy, please take back your life." Li Yun knelt directly on the ground. "It's not that the subordinates don't want to do things for the young man, it's just ......"

Han Jian smiled: "Sure enough, I still have nostalgia in my heart. Hum. Think that if you don't say it, others won't know? This king made Mrs. Luo the minister of Xiliang, but now that the Xiliang country does not exist, what can be said about the minister? ”

Li Yun didn't respond, still kneeling on the ground, although Han Jian's words sounded reasonable to her, but when it came to Xiliang Kingdom, many people in the old department of Xiliang were still struggling for this. The small countries between the Western Regions and the Central Plains have all disappeared after the destruction of the country, but the people of Xiliang have a deep sense of family and country, and they still regard themselves as the people of Xiliang after the destruction of the country. She knew that if someone could really be crowned as the king of Xiliang, there would soon be a large number of supporters to do things for him, and the court of a Xiliang country would begin to take shape. Now that Mrs. Luo, in the name of a Xiliang minister, has completely reached the point where she can form the Xiliang court, it is not that Han Jian said that a Xiliang minister is not worth mentioning.

Li Yun didn't agree with Han Jian's words very much, but she didn't dare to bring it up in person.

Han Jian said: "The Xiliang Kingdom has been destroyed for more than 20 years, and now it no longer exists. Even if there will be a Xiliang feudal state in the future, it will only be a imperial court, and even the king of Xiliang will not sit on military and political power like the former lord of Xiliang, and he will still obey the orders of the imperial court. ”

"Yes." Li Yun responded respectfully.

"The reason why this king did not Feng Luo as the king of Xiliang is because this king feels that she is too ambitious in her heart, if she really stands in a high position one day, I am afraid that she will be the enemy of the court and the Dongwang Mansion when she turns around. That's what the king doesn't want to see. Han Jian said again.

Li Yun also heard some ways in his heart, although Han Jian had the intention of appeasing her, but at the same time, he was also conveying a voice to her: As long as you do well, you will be named the King of Xiliang.

"You can go to work for Mrs. Luo with peace of mind, although nominally she is the superior and you are the subordinate, but in fact you don't have to listen to her in everything. You just need to do your job well, show the surface of harmony with her, and make the people in the old Xiliang department think that you are dedicated to doing things for the Eastern Wangfu and also for the restoration of the Xiliang Kingdom. If you can contact the people in the old Xiliang department this time and make a contribution to the imperial court's defense against the Xianbei people, this king promises here that you are the king of Xiliang. ”

Li Yun knelt there and didn't say a word. Although Han Jian's mention was tempting, Han Jian's decision to make Mrs. Luo the prime minister of Xiliang had already hurt her once. She also didn't dare to fully believe that Han Jian would still judge impartially. She asked herself how short it was to defect to the East Palace, although she had done a lot of great things recently, compared to Mrs. Luo, she still couldn't get Han Jian's full trust.

"Alright, you stand down." Han Jian said, "The king of Ming Japan will send someone to show you the way to Guanzhong to meet Mrs. Luo." You also remember, if you are half-hearted and want to plan something secretly, don't blame this king for being ruthless! ”

Li Yun's body trembled, and she was also very afraid of Han Jian. She knew that the man in front of her was in charge of life and death, and it was too easy to kill her.

"Yes." Li Yun got up, respectfully retreated, and only turned around and walked towards the front yard of the military station's yamen when he got to the door.

When the others left, Han Jian sat down, sometimes he was not used to putting on a score and posing prestige, but in order to make Li Yun and the others obey him, he also had to show his prestige as the king of the east. As soon as he sat down, a graceful woman walked out from behind the curtain in the back hall and poured tea for Han Jian. Han Jian smiled and took her hand, how could he still have the awe-inspiring momentum before?

"The husband is too, he always cares about his body when he is busy, if it weren't for the concubine to deliver food, I don't know that the husband is so busy."

The person who came was Gu Xin'er, who had just become pregnant.

After Gu Xin'er became pregnant, in order to make her feel more at ease to raise the fetus, Han Songshi specially allowed her to come over to deliver food to Han Jian, in fact, he wanted her to see Han Jian more. As the concubine of the East Palace, Gu Xin'er's status in the East Palace, Yang Li'er gave birth to the eldest son of the East Palace, and now Gu Xin'er is pregnant, and there is Gu Weipan, the first assistant in the court, behind her father, her pregnancy naturally makes the government and the opposition pay attention.

Originally, the news of her pregnancy was only at the level of Dongwangfu, but the news still leaked out, and even Yang Rui was very concerned about Gu Xin'er's pregnancy. For Yang Rui, Gu Xin'er's pregnancy is not a good thing. On the one hand, it is because she gave birth to a daughter, and Gu Xin'er is the nominal concubine of Han Jian, and what is even more important is the relationship between Gu Weipan, Yang Rui still has to honor Gu Weipan, but once Gu Weipan has this grandson, the relationship between Gu Weipan and Dongwangfu will be closer, which Yang Rui does not want to see.

"It's a mess of you." Han Jian took Gu Xin'er's hand and smiled.

Gu Xin'er looked ashamed, but Han Jian took it with one hand, and took out the food in the food box with the other hand. After all, it was already past noon, and Han Jian didn't eat because he was so busy that the sun was setting in the west.

When she got to the back, Han Jian simply took her to sit in her arms and had a meal with Gu Xin'er. Gu Xin'er herself is not good at cooking, and she doesn't need to cook these in person as her, the meals are all prepared by Wen'er, after all, Wen'er has served Han Jian since she was a child, and she knows Han Jian's taste very well, and she is also ingenious and has good cooking skills. This time, Wen'er couldn't accompany Gu Xin'er over, and she completely pinned her thoughts about Han Jian on the meal. (To be continued......)
