When Han Jian returned to the palace, the palace was still preparing for the family banquet that night, but this time it was not the imperial dining room to prepare, but the women next to Han Jian did it together.

Although there are many women on Han Jian's side, there are not many people who really know how to cook, most of them are Han Jian's aunts, among which the sixth aunt Han Xu's craftsmanship is the best.

Originally, when the family was reunited and celebrated, Han Jian spent half of the past two years going out on expeditions, and he was going to expedition to the Xiwang Mansion, and he was at war with the Xianbei people, it was rare for them to get together without separation, and the family was also very happy, but Han Jian could feel that those aunts still had a thorn in their hearts after all, and this thorn came from Han Song's family, who had not eased relations with him and still lived in the East Prince's Mansion.

"Tomorrow Jiuniang will go back to Chang'an, and today is regarded as seeing off your old man." Han Jian took Han Zhao's hand and sat down, not letting her be busy, because the rebellion in Guanzhong and other places had not been completely quelled, and Han Cui's alone could not support it in Guanzhong, so he had to let Han Zhao's go to Chang'an again to cooperate, Han Zhao's was familiar with military affairs, and it was nothing to her.

Han Zhao smiled and didn't speak, but Han Xu came over and smiled: "Do you see that your Jiuniang is very old?" Actually called the old man, will it be buried in a few years? ”

Han Jian smiled helplessly, it was rare for these aunts to be so similar to him as a parent, picking on his speech. Because he had already made up his mind to go to the Qi Dynasty with Yang Rui, in fact, he would not have much time in Luoyang, and he would set off after the beginning of spring, and there was only one or two months left before and after the reunion.

Han Jian didn't say too much to his aunts, got up and took the opportunity to discuss things first, and discussed some things with Yang Li'er in the side hall, especially the Imperial Garden, because the Imperial Garden was abandoned a few years ago, and many of the strange flowers and plants in it had withered and withered. Han Jian thought that since there was popularity in the palace now, he would simply renovate the imperial garden, also to facilitate the women in the harem to have a place to relieve their boredom.

"What the minister says is what it is, the concubine doesn't know much, isn't it better for the people of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites to do these things?" Yang Li'er didn't have any good opinions on the renovation of the Imperial Garden, and she was able to talk to Han Jian so alone. She also kept looking back in the direction of the main hall, obviously afraid that the women inside would think too much.

"Don't look at it. In fact, there is another thing today, which is to go with you to visit Ling Zun, speaking of which, I haven't visited for a long time. ”

Han Jian's words made Yang Li'er feel relieved. Yang Li'er looked at Han Jian, her eyes were slightly confused, if it weren't for Han Jian to say it, she would never mention the matter of Nanwangfu in front of Han Jian. She knows very well that since she is married, she must be content with the status quo, not to mention that Han Jian is still polite to Nanwangfu after pacifying Yuzhou, and even the people of Yuzhou have not committed any crimes.

"That'...... So when to go? Yang Li'er was a little cramped, lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes as if her little daughter had no idea, and said, "Actually...... In fact, the concubine wants to meet her mother......"

Han Jian smiled: "When did my Qian'er lose her soul like this? Since you say you want to go, it's better to go sooner rather than later, you go and simply pack up. I'll have some gifts ready, and we'll pay a visit. ”

"Hmm." Yang Li'er nodded. But he immediately turned around and troted all the way in the direction of his palace. After walking a few steps, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and came back to respectfully salute Han Jian, Han Jian smiled and waved her hand, letting her go in a hurry, but this time she still only walked a few steps and ran back. It seems a little confusing, "Can you ...... Take Xi'er with you? This one...... Forget it. ”

Han Jian said with a smile: "Xi'er is also your flesh and blood, Ling Zun Lingtang has never seen it, so you can bring it with you, but it's still too cold outside." Keep warm and bring the person you should be carrying. ”

Yang Li'er looked at Han Jian with a little fascination in her eyes, and nodded very movingly, this time she walked back, and her steps were not so hurried.

When everything was ready, Han Jian also explained to the woman of Wencheng Palace, and went out of the palace with Yang Li'er, and the car was also prepared one step earlier, Han Jian personally helped Yang Li'er's mother and son to get into the carriage and go to the direction of Nanwangfu together.

After Yang Luochuan, the king of the south, escaped from Luoyang, Han Jian once imprisoned him in a secret prison, until the Yuzhou incident subsided, he got the due courtesy of the king of the south, and was placed under house arrest instead, as for the family members of the southern prince's mansion have also moved to Luoyang City, even the town of Nanhou Huang Shilang and his family members have also been moved to Luoyang City, but Han Jian still remembered that Huang Shilang had made contributions to the imperial court, and temporarily retained his title, but the military position has been removed.

When Luan Jia and his entourage arrived at the Nanwang Mansion, they could see a lot of soldiers waiting around, and Han Jian helped Yang Li'er get out of the carriage before someone entered the mansion to pass the ceremony, and no one came out. Han Jian expected that Yang Luochuan should still hold a grudge against him, among the remaining people in the Nanwang Mansion, only Yang Li'er and her brother Yang Yu were born in the lineage, and Yang Yu's whereabouts are still unknown, who dares to come out to make a mistake if the children of the other side branches are not allowed?

"It's okay, let's just go in." Han Jian said to Yang Li'er, who was holding the child beside him.

Han Jian helped Yang Li'er's mother and son into the Nanwang Mansion together, to say that this mansion is also a place that Yang Li'er used to be very familiar with, Yang Li'er followed her father and brother to Luoyang to pay tribute, and also lived in the courtyard of the Nanwang Mansion. Now that the people of the entire Nanwang Mansion have moved over, the original courtyard is not enough, and some houses have been built in the side courtyard, Yang Li'er looked around, it is not much different from the mansion before Han Jian first met four years ago, and every grass and tree seems very familiar.

Han Jian and Yang Li'er's mother and son went to the main hall together, but no one came out, Han Jian sighed in his heart, he probably knew that he would be treated coldly when he came here, but in order to let Yang Li'er meet his parents, this anger was nothing. In terms of political position, he is tantamount to trampling Yang Luochuan under his feet, but Yang Luochuan is also Yang Li'er's father after all, and his eldest son's grandfather, now the north is calm, and he has also ascended the throne, if he can make peace with Yang Luochuan, it will be of a lot of help to the stability of Yuzhou, after all, many of the military and government affairs in Yuzhou are still in charge of the old ministers of the Nanwangfu.

It wasn't until Han Jian and Yang Li'er came for a long time that the maid came out to serve tea, Han Jian said: "Go in and spread the word, and say that the second lady of your Nanwang Mansion is back." ”

The maid was a little frightened, as if she was afraid of causing trouble, but she obeyed the order.

Han Jian said: "Don't stand still, sit down and rest." Xi'er is not small, let the nurse take care of it. ”

"Xianggong, do you think my father won't come out to see each other?" Yang Li'er asked a little nervously.

Han Jian stepped forward to comfort him a little, in fact, he knew very well that Yang Luochuan would definitely meet, unless Yang Luochuan was ready to be a prisoner for the rest of his life. Han Jian is now just in the throne, although he has been purged by Han Song and Ning Yuan of the old ministers of the imperial court. But many old ministers still have mustard, just like Han Jian's father-in-law, Gu Weipan, who still hasn't had any contact with him. Han Jian's new court needs the princes and nobles of the old dynasty to come out and support him, and the best candidate is Yang Luochuan, the southern king of the former feudal princes, after all, the northern king and the western king have been ancient one after another, and only Yang Luochuan has saved himself, mainly because he married his daughter to Han Jian, otherwise Han Jian would not need to keep a dangerous person like him alive.

Now that Han Jian brought Yang Li'er to show his goodwill, he had already expressed an attitude to Yang Luochuan. If you can release your suspicions, at least you can pass on the incense of Nanwangfu, although it will not be sealed as before, but it is a great gift to be able to pass on the prince.

"Don't worry too much, even if Ling Zun doesn't come out to meet, you can take Xi'er to meet her mother in a while." Han Jian said with a smile.

Yang Li'er had a little grievance on her face, and she looked a little hesitant when she sat there. On the contrary, because Han Xi is still ignorant, he looks at his mother but doesn't know why his mother has such a painful look.

Han Jian also sat down. After a while, Yang Luochuan was late, and walked over as if he was strolling in a leisurely garden, standing at the door and arching his hand to Han Jian, Han Jian and Yang Li'er had already gotten up to greet each other.

"Your Majesty, Queen." Say yes and see. But it was still a hand, Yang Luochuan's tone was very arrogant, and Yang Luochuan, who was once in the dungeon, never gave in. In the past few years, he has been almost imprisoned, but the treatment is different. It was also Han Jian who didn't care too much about Yang Li'er's feelings, but Han Jian himself treated Nanwangfu quite preferentially.

"Father......" Yang Li'er lowered her head, not daring to raise her head and look at Yang Luochuan.

Han Jian said: "Li'er, you take Xi'er to meet your mother first, and I will discuss something with Ling Zun first." ”

Yang Li'er Tingting said: "The concubine retired. After speaking, let the nurse pick up Han Xi and go out the door together. When passing by Yang Luochuan, Yang Luochuan also looked sideways at his grandson, and his face seemed to be a little more sad, and when he returned his gaze to Han Jian's face, his sadness disappeared without a trace.

"King Nan, please." Han Jian arched his hand.

The corners of Yang Luochuan's mouth showed a slightly disdainful smile, and he arched his hand: "The old minister can't afford it." He didn't step forward, he still stood at the door, facing Han Jian from a distance, as if he didn't want to have too much contact with Han Jian.

Han Jian didn't expect Yang Luochuan to be so self-conscious, he could also figure out Yang Luochuan's mentality, now Yang Luochuan has lost his military and political power, he should have no proud capital, and his only barrier now is that he was once a feudal prince of the Wei Dynasty, which is of certain help to the stability of the new dynasty. Han Jian thought to himself, maybe Yang Luochuan deliberately made such a non-negotiable attitude, but in fact, he also wanted to use his only remaining identity to exchange for more convenience, in order to make a comeback in the future.

Guessing this meaning, Han Jian couldn't be too aggressive, just don't know, meet Yang Luochuan's requirements, and give face to this old man, anyway, everyone knows that it is impossible for him to return Yuzhou to Yang Luochuan.

Han Jian said: "King Nan, I came here today, not only to bring the queen to visit my family, but also to discuss some things with you. I sent troops to quell the rebellion of Huang Shilang, the Marquis of Zhennan, and brought Yuzhou under the rule of the imperial court. ”

Yang Luochuan's eyes suddenly became a little cold, when he was in Luoyang to remotely command the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, he used the rebellion of Huang Shilang, the Marquis of Zhennan, as an excuse, saying that Huang Shilang had not listened to his orders, and now Han Jian just followed his tone, saying that this was to pacify the rebellion of the Marquis of Zhennan, and also said that the rebellion was put down and Yuzhou would be returned. With his cunning, how could he believe such nonsense?

Yang Luochuan sighed lightly: "The old minister has lived in Luoyang for a long time, and he has long been used to it, and his former career as a horse is not worth mentioning. In the future, I don't want to do more troubles, I just want to live in my old age. ”

Yang Luochuan deliberately didn't say whether he accepted Han Jian's "kindness", he was also testing Han Jian's attitude.

Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "Nanwang is in good spirits, so why is he old?" Now I have the intention of leading the troops south and taking Jinling directly, I don't know what the king of the south wants? ”

"This ......"

Yang Luochuan thought that Han Jian would continue to talk about the matter of Yuzhou, but he didn't expect that during the winter vacation, An would divert the topic and talk about leading the troops south. After he learned that the Xianbei people were defeated, he already had a premonition that with Han Jian's current ambition, he would inevitably take advantage of the situation to wave his troops south and unify the world. But this kind of thing is his speculation after all, no one dares to guarantee the ticket, but now Han Jian is talking to him about it in a consultative tone, so that he can't guess Han Jian's intentions.

Yang Luochuan said: "The old minister doesn't understand what His Majesty said. ”

Han Jian smiled slightly: "If you talk about the world in this world, who knows the most about the strength of the Southern Dynasty and the combat ability of the defense cities, generals, and defense matters, I am afraid it must be the King of the South, the King of the South has been in charge of Yuzhou for many years, and the troops of the Southern Dynasty are constantly fighting, and now I intend to wave my troops to the south, so I naturally need the help of a powerful person, I wonder if the King of the South is willing to go out of the mountain and help me again?" ”

It seems to invite you to go out of the mountain, but it is not.

Yang Luochuan knows how valuable he is, if Han Jian really intends to recruit him to go south with the army, there are only two explanations, one is that Han Jian is not worried that he will stay in Luoyang City, for fear that he will be pulled back by him when he drives the expedition, after all, most of Zhennan Hou Huang Shilang and most of his old subordinates are still alive, but they have been removed from their military positions, and the people of Yuzhou are also more interested in Nanwangfu. The second explanation is that Han Jian wants to tie him up in this way, making people feel that there is still a very harmonious relationship between the East and South Princes' Mansions, so that Han Jian can entrap the old departments of the South Prince's Mansion and stabilize the government and the opposition.

Both explanations make sense, and there is another possibility, that is, Han Jian has both thoughts.

But there are also things that don't make sense, when Han Jian drove Xianbei in person, Yuzhou had not yet been pacified at that time, but he didn't let him, the king of the south, go with him. Even with Yang Luochuan's conceit, he still couldn't guess Han Jian's true intentions, he was there for a moment and didn't say a word.

Han Jian said first: "If King Nan shouldn't, then it's okay, I am mainly here to visit relatives today, and it is not too late to talk about other things in the future." (To be continued......)
