Chapter 185: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain

Sima used the ceremony to greet the emperor, so he naturally did not understand any rules. He was also careless in his manners. He said that he was accustomed to the opera singers.

The queen smiled and said, "Young Master Sima is a talented person. It turns out that he is a general. Your father is also a pillar of my Wei Dynasty."

Sima Yi knelt on the ground and grinned, "Your Majesty is too honored, Your Majesty is too honored."

The queen smiled and looked at Han Jian again and said, "The East King has such good friends, and in the future, he will definitely make a difference."

Han Jianxin said that Sima Yi was a good helper, but unfortunately, the hero Sima was thinking of walking in the world and standing with a sword, so where was he assisting him in the East? When the queen said this, Han Jian could only calmly reply: "What Your Majesty said is very true."

But I didn't agree with it.

After saying that, the queen praised Sima Jie and turned to the Northern King who was escorted to the ground and said, "Uncle Emperor, I saw him at the court banquet that year, and I have not seen him again for more than ten years."

The Northern King sneered: "Tell me, I haven't seen the emperor's niece for more than ten years. How are you doing well recently? I heard that you are still Yunying unmarried, but I am waiting for you to be a matchmaker to match a marriage?"

"Random!" Yu Han next to him had to stand up and shout when he heard such words. The King of Northern said this so arrogantly. He dared to discuss the Queen's marriage and said disrespectful words. He was not afraid of death at all.

"The leader of Yu Bu is not to make a fuss." The queen was generous in this matter, and smiled and said, "The emperor is my elder after all, and it is common for the elders to care about the marriage of the younger generation. However, the emperor, if you lead troops to rebel without authorization, I cannot spare you even if you are an elder. How should the emperor treat this matter?"

"What do you think about it? Haha, success, king, defeat, bandits, I am just for the Wei Dynasty, the country will not be ruined by women and children like you. What's wrong with it? If you want to convict, just be sure. I will never frown."

The queen didn't say anything else, but instead looked at Sima Jie and asked about the details of Sima Jie's capture of the Northern King alive.

Sima Yi was waiting to show off in front of the queen. When the queen asked her, she couldn't help but start talking. He was also very cognizable and knew that there were things that should not be said. So he started directly after the messenger who had joined the King of Northern left Luoyang by boat.

"...The Northern King's Army was in chaos. As soon as our ship passed the channel and entered the Yellow River, we saw a team of cavalrymen from the opposite bank of the river fleeing in a hurry. I pretended to be with them, so the ship was docked. As expected, we came over. We took him down while they were on board..."

Sima Yi said it very exaggeratedly, and some details are not very detailed. Based on the previous battle reports, Han Jian also learned the details.

After the Beiwang crossed the river and ordered the withdrawal of troops, the Beiwang army was like a mess and collapsed. At this time, the imperial army on the south bank of the Yellow River also crossed the river to counterattack in time, which completely disrupted the defensive formation of the Beiwang army.

In order to murder the Beiwang who was retaliating. He did not lead his troops to flee at the first time. This time he stayed on the front line, but was dispersed by his own troops. He had to escape downstream along the river. However, he met Sima Jie who passed the Yellow River from the waterway and was picked up by Sima Jie.

After this battle, most of the 30,000 cavalrymen who followed the North King to the south had been defeated and fled. Only a small number of them fled to Changdi with the Xiaobei King Yang Ke. As the court army crossed the Yellow River, Xiaobei King did not stay in Changdicheng for a long time, but continued to escape with his troops. In other words, as long as the court did not take back the North King's fief, there would still be Xiaobei King in the North King's fiefdom. And now, the contradictions have been made public, and it is impossible to maintain peace as before.

Han Jian also knew that after this, the Northern King's Army would inevitably suffer its momentum. The Xianbei people would really take the opportunity to go south. When Xiaobei was desperate, he would probably cooperate with the Xianbei people, establish himself as a country or even a vassal of the Xianbei country, and give up a large area of ​​land on the north bank of the Yellow River. It would still be very troublesome for the court to deal with it.

After listening to Sima Jie's story, the queen was silent for a long time and said, "The emperor is my uncle. She has been guarding the border for many years for my Wei Dynasty. She has no contribution and has worked hard. Now the emperor is just blinded for a while. I will understand for the time being. I will follow the investigation department and the judicial department to escort him to his residence in the capital city to take care of his residence and not have any contact with the outside world. The clothing salary is the same..."

After the queen said that, Han Jian was a little surprised. Is the queen planning to let the Northern King go?

Only by spending so much effort can the Northern King solve the threat to the court. If the root cause is not eliminated, will you not be afraid of the Northern King rekindled in the future? Or will the Queen feel that she will rest assured to put the Northern King in the circle?

"Your Majesty think twice." Han Jian was the first to express his disagreement and asked for his order.

"Dongwang, I know your intentions and it is for the good of the court, but I don't want to let down the emperor's instructions to me. I must govern the world with kindness. Uncle, if you can calm yourself and think about your own mistakes, I believe you can turn back."

Han Jian was extremely depressed. For some so-called current situation and reputation, the Queen of Love actually wanted to return to the mountain. After Han Jian remembered that after entering the capital, he was busy with fraud cases, and thoroughly investigated the corruption case without any evidence. He then risked being misunderstood by the Queen or even beheaded to calm the military transformation of the escort. In the end, this was such a result, which made Han Jian very unhappy. Now the Queen said what "turning back is the shore", which is the "height" that only Buddhists have. The Queen is a Taoist practitioner, and the Wei Dynasty practiced Taoism. Han Jianxin said, "Does the Queen want to be a nun who is indifferent to the world?"

Han Jian was full of opinions, but he knew that it was useless to say it. Now the empress focused on guard against Xiaobei and Xianbei people. She detained the king in the capital. The empress must have other plans. This is not important to Han Jian.

Han Jian has felt physically and mentally exhausted. He has to calm down the chaos and face the queen's doubts and reprimands. He also feels very tired. It is time to calm down and have a good rest.

The queen said, "King Dong, take your people back first, and I will give you some rewards as appropriate."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Jian said a tribute, but he didn't care. If he had given a reward, he would not have such a big opinion on the Queen's easy letting the Northern King go.

Han Jian brought Sima Jie and the guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion who escorted the Northern King into the palace to the Ye'an Pavilion. At this time, the third prince Yang Yu, dressed in military uniform, was returning with several military generals to report to the queen.

Han Jian has learned that yesterday, Yang Yu, under the order of the Queen, quelled the rebellion in the army, and then sniped the Beiwang Army across the river and headed south, and then launched a counterattack to completely dismantle the Beiwang Army, with great contributions. In the face of such military achievements, the contributions Yang Xi had received before were not worth mentioning.

When Han Jian saw Yang Yu this time, he felt that Yang Yu was much arrogant, especially in front of him. Yang Yu deliberately straightened his body and looked at him with a sneer, as if he was demonstrating to him.

When the two sides intersected, Han Jian thought about the matter and took the people down to Yingtianmen in the palace.

"What's the pride?" Sima on the side said disdainfully, "If it weren't for your well-arranged arrangements and cut off the Beiwang's retreat, could he defeat the Beiwang's army so easily? Now run to us to show off his power. Humph, no matter how proud he is, he is not the prince..."

Han Jian sighed and said nothing.

Although Yang Xi is the crown prince now, and the Northern King's rebellion has come to an end for the time being, the queen does not seem to intend to recall Yang Xi, and will continue to send Yang Xi to the Southern Qi as envoy. Because the Northern King's affairs have not been completely resolved, there are Xiao Bei Wang, Xianbei people, and the Western King who is also hidden. The current situation is that as the Northern King is captured alive and Xiao Bei Wang flees alone, it becomes even more nervous.

When he was in Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian didn't understand the queen's decision. But after he came out, he calmed down and thought it through, and Han Jian also felt that the empress had done nothing wrong.

The Empress keeps Beiwang alive, which means keeping a "hostage" to make Xiaobeiwang afraid. Even if Xiaobeiwang is ready to inherit the mantle of Beiwang and continue to rebel against the court, he will be afraid of his father who is still alive in the capital. The Empress holds the Beiwang card in her hand and plays it at any time, which will cause chaos within the Beiwang. Although the Empress does not necessarily have to really play this card, the biggest effect of this card is to threaten Xiaobeiwang. If he kills Beiwang, Yang Ke will have no worries.

"Do you have any news about the situation on Mrs. Luo?" Han Jian asked.

"Young Master, the chaos in the rear of the Beiwang army should be caused by Mrs. Luo's people? Or is it someone else? Not to mention it, since yesterday, Mrs. Luo's people seemed to have disappeared without any news." Sima Jie's face changed slightly, "Young Master, do you think Mrs. Luo will have a second thought and run away again while there is chaos in the capital?"

"She won't." Han Jian sneered.

"Why?" Sima Yi looked puzzled, "Young Master, sometimes you trust women with the surname Luo too much. Young Master, don't forget that the woman has never married yet. She doesn't even care about being his father's mistress. How could she wholeheartedly do things for you?"

Han Jian said: "Is it because you have any objections to an unmarried woman?"

Sima Yi blinked and immediately realized that the people Han Jian said included the queen. Sima Yi smiled and said, "Young Master, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that. I just said Mrs. Luo. After all, he is from Xiliang. If he is not my race, his heart will be different."

"The reason why I say she doesn't know is because Mrs. Luo is a smart woman. She knows how to get the greatest benefit." Han Jian said, "She follows the people of the old Xiliang subordinates. At most, she is just a chess piece and is used by the old Xiliang nobles. Until she has no value, she will be abandoned like a piece."

Sima Yi said: "Then what can she get by following the young master? She has such great ambitions?"

Han Jian smiled and said, "You underestimated Mrs. Luo. Her ambition may be greater than any other person from the old Xiliang subordinates. She even has the ambition to be an emperor. This is exactly what the old person from the old Xiliang subordinates do not allow, but I don't care about this."
