Chapter 311: Opening the House to Discuss (Part 1)
Although Wen'er was young, she was not uneasy and was very proactive between the beds. And as Han Jian said, she was like a tangled little fairy, obsessed with Han Jian all night.
By dawn the next day, Han Jian got up very early, while Wen'er stayed in bed and refused to get up. Han Jian knew that she had been pestering him all night and was very tired, so he let her continue to sleep. Han Jian put on his own clothes and came out to wash and meet a few concubines.
"Jian'er, are you getting up?" Han Song and Han Cui were talking in the main hall. When Han Song saw Han Jian coming in, he looked at Han Jian with a secret smile and asked.
This look told Han Jian that she seemed to know everything.
"Please treat me to Erniang and Sanniang." Han Jian said with a tribute.
"No, why did you get up so early?" Han Cui always felt straightforward and smiled. "I thought you would sleep until the sun was noon before getting up, and I told people not to disturb you."
Han Jian sat down and smiled and said, "What does Sanniang mean?"
"You boy is still pretending?" Han Cui smiled, "Last night, your second mother was afraid that you would drink too much, so she asked a few maids to send you hangover soup. You know everything. Jianer, don't worry, your second mother has already told the people below to not gossip."
Han Song also smiled and said, "Actually, this matter is nothing. Even if Miss Gu knows, she understands the truth. Jianer is the King of the East, and some things are different from ordinary men. Jianer, you have grown up."
Han Jian smiled awkwardly. It was not good to be criticized by two aunts.
Han Jian changed the topic and said, "Are Er Niang and San Niang the candidates to find His Majesty's substitute?"
"This time I'm going to ask you to discuss this matter." Han Song took out a list and said, "We have already found a few people. They are not locals. They just need to practice their tone of speaking. Several of them are very similar to His Majesty, but they are just similar in size, and they are afraid that they will notice clues."
Han Jian said: "It's okay. Anyway, Your Majesty is behind the curtains. No minister dares to do such a rash look."
"Yes." Han Song nodded, "If you have your master in the past two days, nothing will happen. I will send you over to deal with it after I teach you for two days."
Han Jian heard this. Fa was not going to stay in Jiangdu City for a long time.
"Er Niang, where is my master... going?" Han Jian asked.
Han Song replied: "Your master is going to find Your Majesty, but we can't dissuade her. She is not in Jiangdu. Some things are difficult to deal with after all. The main thing is the people below. They must send appropriate people to take care of Your Majesty's daily life. And they cannot be noticed by outsiders."
Han Jian nodded and said nothing more. Han Jian was reluctant to leave Fa Yi after all, but Fa Yixin always looked at the Queen. Now the Queen is missing without saying goodbye. Fa Yi has completed her mission and notified the matter back. Moreover, she helped the Dongwang Mansion hide it for so long that she should go to find the Queen. Now, perhaps only the Queen's junior sister, may know where the Queen has gone. After all, Fa Yi has been with the Queen for many years and knows the Queen's temperament very well.
"Jian'er, you have breakfast first." Han Song said, "I took you to see some military generals in the morning. They are all famous generals in my Jiangdu City. They will help you guard the whole world in the future."
"good."
Han Jian got up, Han Song and Han Cui got up and went back to prepare first. Han Jian directly had a meal in the main hall. At his own house, he didn't have to be too polite, and he could do many things as he pleased.
In the morning, Han Jian, accompanied by two aunts, met with several generals left in Jiangdu City in the Eastern Prince's Mansion, including Sima Jie's father, Sima Jiangdu. Han Jian thought of Sima Jie and Yang Xi who were far away in the Southern Qi Dynasty, and couldn't help but feel a little moved. These two old friends are still alive and have no idea how to face Sima Jie's father.
Having seen the Jiangdu general, Han Jian wanted to return to the Dongwang Mansion. Because he had already greeted the people from the court a day before, he asked them to go to the Dongwang Mansion to discuss matters again.
In addition to preparing to retract power and the entire Jiangdu was under his jurisdiction during this discussion, Han Jian's discussion was more important to assign tasks to the court ministers so that they could settle down. After all, these people are the strong ministers of the court. Even if Han Jian looked down on them, he had to treat him well for the sake of the empress's face, so that more "loyal ministers" could join Jiangdu.
When he returned to the Eastern Prince's Mansion, some ministers had arrived and were waiting in the main hall of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. This time, there were obviously not as many ministers as yesterday, because Han Jian had just returned to the city yesterday, and Gu Weipan initiated it. Most of the ministers came to see the Eastern Prince and asked for the Queen's condition. This time, Han Jian convened someone to discuss the matter. Some people who looked down on Han Jian were disdainful of this invitation. Some were not required to send many people to each department because of their low official position.
As soon as Han Jian entered the gate of the East Prince's Mansion, he met Jiuniang Han Zhao. Han Zhao went to the military camp outside the city yesterday to inspect and explained many things to the temporary commander Zhang Xing. It mainly involved the resettlement of the 100,000 troops outside the city.
Now that the 100,000 troops from Jiangdu who went to the expedition returned to Jiangdu city, it was always a problem to gather. When it was time to unload the armor and return to the fields, it would save the expenses of the Dongwang Mansion. But now, due to the uncertainty of the current situation, the Dongwang Mansion did not plan to do this. After all, it is winter and it is also the slack season. Even if the soldiers go home, there is nothing to do. It is better to gather and deal with emergencies at any time. The Dongwang Mansion has sufficient grain reserves, which is completely enough to deal with the expenses of the troops. This is also the basis left by Han Song to Han Jian.
"...In Luoyang, there is a rumor that the rebel minister Yang Yu is preparing to ascend the throne, and it will not be later than the end of the year. Once Yang Yu ascends the throne, he will definitely raise his troops to my Eastern Prince's Mansion. This matter must be prepared early." After Han Zhaoshi talked about the resettlement of the military camp outside the city, he told Han Jian some other things, "Also, you should also go to entertain people from the Southern Prince's Mansion earlier to avoid making them suspicious."
"Jiu Niang, I understand." Han Jian thought for a while, and the most important thing now is to stabilize the rear. After all, these ministers who followed the Queen were unstable factors in Jiangdu City. Even if Luoyang would send troops to put pressure on him, Han Jian didn't feel anything. After all, Luoyang couldn't help but covet it now. The Western Prince's Mansion coveted him even more. The Northern King just wanted to support Yang Yulai as a puppet. Even if Yang Yu had some troops as a backing and the Northern King Army suffered heavy damage before, it is undeniable that the Northern King Army is still the biggest threat to Luoyang City. It depends on when Yang Yu and Northern King broke up.
Han Jian and Han Zhaoshi talked and arrived at the main hall. At this time, some ministers were already waiting. These people knew that the visitor was not good at first sight. They were also a little annoyed. Few sat there waiting for Han Jian and the people of the Dongwang Mansion to arrive. They either stood up and talked or whispered close to them, and did not treat the Dongwang Mansion as a small court at all.
"Jian'er, are you back?" Han Cui went out. She had come back long ago to accommodate these officials. When Han Jian saw Han Cui's expression, he knew that Han Cui was impatient with these people and was too lazy to treat them, so he just let these people be in the main hall and didn't even care about them.
Then, Gu Weipan, who should have arrived early, came late. He also came with several important officials from the small court in Jiangdu today, including Lin Ke, the left minister of the East Pavilion who talked back to Han Jian yesterday.
"Dongwang." When they saw Han Jian, these people still had to perform rituals, which was considered a ritual. Their attitude towards Han Jian changed, mainly because Han Jian "expressed his power" at the Dongwang Mansion yesterday, and almost "reformed the Dharma on the spot".
"Teacher Gu, please, everyone." Han Jian returned the favor, and he was like a master in his work, without the attitude of a superior.
In the eyes of most court officials, Han Jian's people were just pretending to be hypocritical. They also saw Han Jian's unreasonable attitude yesterday. At this time, they all greeted him politely and went straight to the main hall.
Gu Weipan stayed, and he also knew that Han Jian had something to say to him.
"Teacher Gu, yesterday I had asked Your Majesty to ask His Majesty for instructions. Your Majesty has no new intention to deal with my marriage with the daughter of Ling. I think the marriage should be completed as soon as possible. It is most important to stabilize the rear." Han Jian said with a smile.
"Yeah." Gu Weipan nodded, his face still had some concern, because these days, as the general head of the court, he had not even seen the queen's face. And in the past few days, the queen had no other intention except the decree given to Han Jian. However, Han Jian said that he could send someone to ask the queen for instructions casually, and he felt a little unhappy.
"When are you going to marry Xin'er?" Gu Weipan asked.
"How about the twenty-sixth month this month?" Han Jian asked.
"Twenty-six? No... Only seven or eight days to prepare? Can the Dongwang Mansion prepare for it?" Gu Weipan obviously felt that getting married was too hasty. "Besides, as the end of the year approaches, will your wedding with Xin'er not affect the people of Jiangdu?"
"Don't worry, this time I got married to Ling Qianjin. Although it will be grand, it will not interfere with the daily life of the people of Jiangdu. On holidays, it should be more happy. Now that Jiangdu is in a depressed state, it should be happy with these things." Han Jian said.
"Yes." Gu Weipan nodded slightly, but did not comment.
"Did Taifu Gu agree?" Han Jian said, "If I agree, I will ask someone to formally propose marriage to you today. By the way, I will announce this matter to the world."
"Okay, this matter will be handled by the East Prince's Mansion, and I will worry too." Gu Weipan said, "But then, you will find a way to let me meet Your Majesty. I have accumulated a lot of official business these days, and I can't ask Your Majesty for instructions."
Han Jian smiled and said nothing. The business that Gu Weipan said was originally to be handed over to him. But now even his future father-in-law did not regard him as a prisoner. However, this may be just Gu Weipan's excuse. Gu Weipan just wanted to know the Queen's physical condition.
Han Jian and Gu Weipan walked into the main hall of the East Prince's Mansion together. The twenty or thirty court ministers who were already waiting in the main hall stood up to welcome them.
"Original King, we are going to see Your Majesty." As soon as they came up, these people made a very ignorant request. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
