Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh gift to the door(1/2)
When Han Jian heard Yang Rui's words, he walked forward and saluted respectfully. Yang Rui looked at Han Jian and then looked at Ning Yuan, and his eyes seemed to say, you are in the same group today.
"I wonder what Your Majesty has to give?" Han Jian asked when Yang Rui's expression was still not very good.
Yang Rui said: "Dongwang, didn't you say before that those who surrender to the thief and rebel should not think of the emperor's kindness and should be punished severely? Now that I have returned to Luoyang, it's time to calculate, what do you think now?"
Han Jian was a little silent. He had previously stated the reason why he wanted to help Ning Yuan talk about Xiang. Generally speaking, it was for Luoyang to stabilize. Judging from Yang Rui's previous attitude, Yang Rui seemed to have accepted his remarks. Why did he "coerce" him to express his opinion now?
It was said to be a coercion because Yang Rui first made a position and took the opportunity to say his position. He first set up the argument and then asked him to say it, as if he had to let the follower agree with Yang Rui's statement.
"When you come back to your Majesty, I think that for Luoyang's long-term stability and vassals and traitors, I will not be able to deal with the matter at present." Han Jian said with politeness.
Many people present were relieved when Han Jian said this. Originally, Yang Rui said this, they thought Han Jian would keep the same tone as Yang Rui and made a big fuss about the issue of investigation. Now, as long as Han Jian, as the King of the East, does not speak, no one will talk about the several aristocratic families in Luoyang.
"Oh?" Yang Rui's face became obviously cold and said, "Dongwang, why did you change your mind? But are there other factors?"
As he said that, Yang Rui also glanced at Ning Yuan, as if he had exposed the political relationship between Han Jian and Ning Yuan.
Han Jian remained calm and said, "I have no other factors. I just consider the stability of Luoyang. At this time, Your Majesty returns to the court and the people's hearts are in a turbulent time, so it is not advisable to make a big move!"
"Bang!" Yang Rui suddenly slapped the table, which scared everyone present.
Yang Rui looked angry, and the people present saw it clearly, because Han Jian was so openly contradicting her. That is to say, Yang Rui, as the queen, had a dispute with Han Jian, as the Eastern King. In other people's disputes, it doesn't matter to these court officials, and it has nothing to do with them anyway. But now the Eastern Prince's Mansion is different from the past. Now, in name, it is the Queen who returns to the court, but in fact it is Luoyang occupied by the Eastern Prince's Mansion with the emperor to command the princes and the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
In terms of administration, Luoyang is also the military commander. As for administration, everything is subject to military. In other words, the Eastern Prince Mansion is the dominant position in Luoyang City, while the Queen is only the nominal ruler of the Wei Dynasty. This is a problem. The Queen and the Eastern Prince are in harmony, needless to say, then they can do whatever they decide. But once there is a dispute, whether they are from the Eastern Prince or Yang Rui, one of the two sides must compromise. But this also means that Luoyang City will be uneasy.
"Dongwang, I think that overcorrecting the wrong is the fundamental reason. If you don't pursue the rebellion, if you do not pursue the situation in the future, people in the world will not think about the emperor's kindness and even ignore the etiquette of the king and his subjects. How can I govern the people?" After a long time, Yang Rui seemed to calm down his anger and asked a little calmly.
Although there were many people in the entire Ye'an Pavilion, it was still quiet. No one spoke, nor did he dare to speak, and they were waiting for Han Jian to talk back and forth.
After a while, Han Jian said, "Why should your Majesty be overcorrected?"
Yang Rui said: "Even if you can't care about everything, you can't ignore it. Everyone can't care about it, and everyone can't ignore it..."
When Yang Rui said this, it basically matched the speculations of some ministers, that is, killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Those who are closely related to Yang Yu must be held accountable, and their families may be confiscated and their clans will be killed, but they will not say that they will kill them to the end. There will always be some officials who were still quite sensible at the time, who retired at that time, or those who were not very close to Yang Yu, so they would not care about it or punish them symbolically.
But no one knows what level he will grasp. How to calculate is very close to Yang Yu, and there is also a consideration standard, but there is no such consideration standard for reference now.
But no matter what, Ning Yuan made great contributions to Yang Yu's ascension to the throne, and it seemed that the kind of people who had to care about it were the ones who were in charge of it. Therefore, some people led by Ning Yuan were still extremely nervous at this time.
Han Jian was also silent for a moment before saying, "Reply to Your Majesty, I think that if you care, then everyone will care. If you don't care, you should treat everyone equally and not be narrow-minded."
Yang Rui smiled coldly and said, "What the Eastern King means is to ignore it?"
Han Jian thought for a while and finally nodded.
"Bang!" Yang Rui knocked over the inkstone beside him, stood up and left with his sleeves.
When he arrived in front of Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Rui said coldly: "This matter is discussed later!"
After saying that, Yang Rui left without looking back. When the people walked away, the officials in the Ye'an Pavilion did not breathe a sigh of relief. Because it was just a half-time break now, maybe in a while, Yang Rui issued an order to punish those "thieves" who surrendered to Yang Yu. By then, Luoyang City will be a bloody storm.
"King Nan, Your Majesty is back. It seems that we are going to leave the palace first." After the queen left, Han Jian said with a relaxed expression to Yang Luochuan, who had been sitting on the side very leisurely.
Yang Luochuan smiled and stood up. The liquidation matter had nothing to do with him. This time he was considered a contribution to the king. In addition, he had a large number of troops outside the city. No matter how Yang Rui said, he would not care about him, and Han Jian would not do such a stupid thing.
"Son-in-law, if you have time to go to the Southern Prince's Mansion with the princess, I will be entertained at any time." Yang Luochuan said with a smile, his voice not small, as if he was showing his relationship with the Eastern Prince's Mansion like an official on the spot.
Han Jian came to Luoyang with Yang Ronger, who was once the second lady of the Southern Prince's Mansion and now the Eastern Princess, which is well-known. The day before, Han Jian attended the Empress's return dinner with Yang Ronger, and the officials present basically saw it.
"What the King of Southern said is that if you have time, you will definitely come and visit." Han Jian smiled and left Ye'an Pavilion with Yang Luochuan one by one.
At this time, other officials came out tremblingly, and many people were still worried about the future fate of their family.
Those who were waiting outside but had not had time to be summoned by the queen obviously didn't know what was happening inside. So the queen would leave in anger. When she saw the Eastern King and the Southern King, and the officials inside came out, she wanted to come forward to ask what was going on, but no one dared to make a mistake in front of the Eastern King and the Southern King.
"Your Highness, the old minister has something to discuss with you." Seeing that Han Jian was about to accompany Yang Luochuan out of the palace, Ning Yuan, who was on the side, was a little anxious, so he had to bite the bullet and say.
Yang Luochuan glanced at Han Jian and smiled and said, "Since the son-in-law has something to do, then the king will leave the palace first. If you have time, you must bring the princess here."
"Okay." Han Jian nodded with a smile and respectfully sent Yang Luochuan away.
When Yang Luochuan left, Han Jian withdrew his gaze and the smile on his face faded. At this time, Ning Yuan stood aside, and his attitude was no longer as arrogant as before. He stood there in a hurry. He lowered his avatar and was thinking about something.
"You have also seen Your Majesty's attitude. It's not that I don't want to help, but it's really hard to help sometimes." Han Jian said with a look on his face.
"Your Highness the Eastern King, I wonder if I can go out of the palace to talk together?" Ning Yuan also pulled down his face and said without regard for his face.
"Yes." Han Jian nodded, "talking as he walked."
Ning Yuan and Han Jian were walking together, and it was obvious that some people followed him from afar, as if they were waiting for the result of Ning Yuan and Han Jian’s conversation.
Ning Yuan said: "It is really rare for Your Highness to speak for these aristocratic families in Luoyang. The old minister also knows that over the past year, your Majesty has been displaced and endured hardships, which is because we are not in support. Your Majesty wants to pursue us, and we should not have argued, but... in the end we are also forced by the situation. If we were not a pseudo-emperor ascended the throne, if we do not support us, it would be the end of today. It is really... it is difficult to get rid of the tiger."
Han Jian nodded. Ning Yuan was also making excuses for himself in this kind of thing, and he seemed to be forced to do so. But everyone knew that if he really didn't want to support Yang Yu, it was not impossible. Some aristocratic families had moved to Jiangdu together. At that time, Yang Yu did not make too many obstacles, but instead let them go, mainly because Yang Yu did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. If he did not submit to him, he would just leave it alone and let them stay.
In Han Jian's opinion, the reason why Ning Yuan chose to help Yang Yu was that he thought that Yang Yu ascended the throne was that he might be more legitimate than Yang Rui. That was why he helped Yang Yu offer advice. He didn't know that the environment for Yang Yu ascended the throne was really bad. Then the Battle of Jiangdu was defeated, causing Yang Yu's foundation to be completely disintegrated. Later, he encountered rebellious parties and the entire Luoyang was not the imperial capital. Yang Yu fled north in a hurry and was destined to be defeated in the Battle of Jiangdu.
Ning Yuanxu said: "If Your Highness does not dislike it, it is better to... go to the mansion. Some people from aristocratic families want to make friends with the Eastern King, it is better..."
"I don't have much time today." Han Jian's tone became stiff and said, "There is still war in Luoyang. I want to go back to make arrangements, so I will not disturb you from the mansion. Shangshu Ning, say goodbye."
Seeing the palace gate, Han Jian said something and headed straight towards the palace gate.
Ning Yuan was also surprised by the sudden change in Han Jian's attitude. He was at a loss for a moment, but he could not keep Han Jian.
Han Jian left the palace gate, got on the horse directly, and took his entourage back to the Dongwang Mansion Villa villa. Han Jian was naturally not going to hold a military meeting. The reason why he said this to Ning Yuan was to show an attitude, and I didn't have to help you.
Han Jian returned to the villa of Dongwang Mansion and went directly to the inner courtyard. At this time, Yang Ronger had woken up and was wearing ordinary clothes. She was washing clothes himself. In addition to her own clothes, there were also Han Jian's. Many clothes were inconvenient to wash in the army, including her underwear. Now when she returned to her own place in Dongwang Mansion, she felt like she was going home. In addition, Han Jian comforted her wife and made her feel good about drying clothes.
"Honey husband is back?" Seeing Han Jian, Yang Ronger smiled and greeted him, and saluted with a little shyness. She was so shy.
"Xin'er, let the maid do this kind of thing, why do you have to experience everything yourself?" Han Jian said with a smile.
Yang Ronger smiled and said, "My husband also knows my temperament. He still doesn't want to deal with others in some things, let alone small things like washing clothes. It's better not to be in the military camp. No matter what he does, no one will disturb him."
Han Jian knew that although Yang Xuner was very determined in character, she was a little autistic, which may be related to her wealthy family like the Nanwang Mansion. Her independent personality and incompatible with the people around her made her want to frame herself in a small space and live her own life. It was not until he appeared and broke Yang Xuner's defense line that Yang Xuner shared this space with him.
Han Jian smiled and said nothing. He stepped forward to help Yang Xinger dry clothes together.
Yang Ronger was not shirkable because she also knew that Han Jian was easy-going and had a great tolerance in her heart. She was never restrained in some small things, which was also what she first admired Han Jian.
"My husband still has to go to the palace tonight?" Yang Ronger suddenly blinked, looked at Han Jian with a bit of playfulness and asked.
Han Jian smiled awkwardly and said, "Xin'er, what you said, I'll help you hang out your clothes. Do you think you are guilty of being a thief?"
"Hmph. My husband is not guilty. Why did he come back to accompany Jille early? But he thinks Jille can't think so and will eat... Your Majesty's jealousy?"
Han Jian stopped what he was doing, thought about it, and didn't say anything.
His relationship with the queen is a secret after all. Even if he was discovered by his beautiful wife, he would not say it explicitly. This is an explanation to Yang Rui.
In fact, Yang Rui also found that Yang Xun'er was aware of her and Han Jian's affairs. Yang Rui also wanted to avoid Yang Xun'er's evil relationship, and once took the initiative to show kindness to Yang Xun'er. In fact, the truth is the same, they all want to be harmonious with the whole family.
When Han Jian didn't know how to answer, the arrival of a maid who passed the message made Han Jian "rescue".
"Young Master, someone outside the Eastern Prince's Mansion asked for a visit."
"Oh? Who?" Han Jian asked with a serious look.
In fact, Han Jian didn't need to ask, and he knew that it was probably the ones who came to him to talk to Xiang, or those who spoke to Ning Yuan.
"I don't recognize it, this is a prayer." As he said that, the maid handed over the prayer.
Han Jian waved his hand, and the maid hurriedly stepped back. Han Jian looked at it and it was Ning Yuan himself.
Yang Ronger was drying clothes, but when she saw Han Jian holding a prayer letter in her hand, she turned her head and looked at it, saying, "If you don't say it, you thought it was your husband, you asked this little girl to come over and mess with her."
Han Jian coughed and said, "What are you saying? For your husband, you have important things to discuss. Military and national affairs are always more important than the love between children, right?"
"In my husband's mind, do you really think so?" Yang Rong'er narrowed her eyes and said disbelief.
Han Jian also smiled, suddenly stepped forward, sneaked and kissed Yang Xinger on the cheek. Yang Xinger looked shy and when Yang Xinger was a little at a loss, Han Jian left with a smile. Yang Xinger snorted again, clenched his fists, as if saying, "I will teach you a lesson when I come back."
Han Jian left the inner courtyard and his smile had to calm down. He could not be seen by those who had something to ask for. He also maintained his dignity as the Eastern King.
When he arrived at the main hall of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Han Jian ordered someone to go out and bring Ning Yuan in, but saw Ning Yuan alone, with a little divine appearance. He looked around, as if he was looking at whether anyone had come one step ahead.
"Shangshu Ning is..." Han Jian looked cold and looked at Ning Yuan standing in front of the door.
"The old minister came today to invite the King of Eastern Palace to visit the mansion." Ning Yuan said.
Han Jian said coldly: "I didn't say that I had something important today, so I can't go to the mansion to disturb you."
"Why don't the King of East leave the mansion with the old minister to see?"
"Oh?" Han Jian looked at Ning Yuan, wondering what the Ning Yuan was selling.
Han Jian stood up from the chair and led the way out of the main gate of the East Prince's Mansion together. However, in front of the East Prince's Mansion, in addition to the sedan chair Ning Yuan came, there was also a sedan chair, which was the kind that the woman was riding in.
"Dongwang, please do this."
As he said that, Ning Yuan led Han Jian to the front of the sedan chair, Ning Yuan made a gesture of invitation to Han Jian, meaning that Han Jian would open the door of the sedan chair by himself.
At this time, the guards had already come over. In order to prevent anyone from having any accidents against the Eastern King, the guards of the Eastern King's Mansion were also cautious. If such a closed sedan opened the door and an assassin rushed out of it, it would pose a threat to the Eastern King's safety.
Han Jian waved his hand, meaning that he didn't have to worry too much. Han Jian thought that with Ning Yuan's current situation, he would definitely not dare to have any malice against him. Everyone knew that no one could save the Ning family except him.
The sedan door was not a wooden door, but a cloth curtain. Han Jian lifted the curtain, but saw a timid woman sitting inside.
The woman was wearing a woman's sleeved skirt and covered with a clean and fat jade. When she saw the light, she was obviously a little avoided. She then lowered her head, looking a little scared. Han Jianben felt that she had never met, but when the woman lowered her head, she carefully identified it. Isn't it the lady Ning family dressed as a man who had accompanied Lin Ke to plead with the East Prince's Mansion before?
Miss Ning's family, who changed into women's clothing, was less heroic than the men's clothing before, but more shy and charming, as if she also knew the exchange between her father and the King of the East. Today, her arrival is no longer just for pleading for mercy, but as a gift. She also seems to have the awareness of "sacrificing oneself for justice".
Han Jian then lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at Ning Yuan and said, "What does Ning Shangshu mean?"
To be continued...
