Han Jian heard Yang Rui's meaning, because he forced his head to press his body without drinking water. He also understood Yang Xi's personality, and the result of doing so would only be counterproductive. But now what can she explain to Yang Rui to listen to?

"If you are ready, send it to the palace." Yang Rui finally added.

Han Jian felt that nothing he wanted to say was futile. When he left the palace to discuss this matter with Ning Yuan, he could also find the bitterness on Ning Yuan's face. As a court official, he often had no choice but to take the crown princess for Yang Xi. Now there are twists and turns. Yang Rui has not yet said how to deal with the families where the ladies hang themselves. Now he wants to send the ladies and ladies to the palace. It is a bit like paying attention to the future.

"Your Highness, look... the old minister should follow the Luoyang everyone to send people to the palace as His Majesty said this time?" Ning Yuan asked in embarrassment.

Previously, various families sent famous ladies to the palace, but as the second-in-command civil servant, he did not respond to the call. This is also the reason why Yang Rui was angry. Ning Yuan sent a daughter to the Dongwang Mansion in Luoyang, but the prince wanted to accept a concubine and he was indifferent while calling others to send her. This did not let Yang Rui know that he gave Ning Shun'er to Han Jian. If he knew about this, he might still be able to stay in the official position.

"Why do you have to ask me about Ning Shangshu's own affairs?" Han Jian's tone seemed a little stiff, meaning that Ning Yuan would think about it himself.

Ning Yuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If he could make up his mind, he wouldn't ask Han Jian. He wanted Han Jian to give him an accurate answer so that he could have a clear understanding. What he most hoped for was naturally Han Jian to say "not give away", so that even if Yang Rui pursued him in the future, the East Prince's Mansion would support him.

Before leaving, Han Jian said again: "Shangshu Ning has compiled another list and sent it to the palace in the past two days. Your Majesty is also anxious."

"But this..." Ning originally wanted to say that this was the Spring Festival. The court had already had a turnover. If the news was to be conveyed, he would need to talk to him one by one. But thinking that the palace was pressing him tightly now, it was not that Han Jian intended to make things difficult for him, so he could only sigh and make accusation.

Han Jian returned to the Eastern Palace. At this time, Han Song was sorting out the New Year's welfare issued to the civil servants and generals below, but to mobilize the money and treasury. After the autumn harvest of Jiangdu, the money and treasury were tight, and they could not rely on these benefits to win people's hearts as usual. However, compared to last year, the war has been relatively stable this year. In terms of raising troops, the grain warehouse has not been completely empty, and there has been a little money and treasury.

Han Song is responsible for these matters, so Han Jian doesn't need to ask too much about it.

"Jianer. There are also gift lists sent by some people this time. Look, if it is appropriate, I will give you some gifts back. If you have no objection, I will help you with it." Han Songshi said when she saw Han Jian's uneasy appearance.

Han Jian nodded and took the gift list and saw that it was a gift list sent by some wealthy merchants in Luoyang.

The Eastern Prince's Mansion was in power. Even the gentry in Luoyang dared not neglect. This time, the gentry and merchants in Luoyang joined forces to give gifts to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. They also strive to avoid offending the Eastern Prince's Mansion and gain some political and policy conveniences. Originally, Han Jian didn't want to take too much care of these things, but it was obvious in the gift list that was the money sent by Mrs. Luo's business. Judging from the quantity, Mrs. Luo also invested a lot this time.

Before, Han Jian had deliberately been cold to Mrs. Luo, mainly because he was afraid that she would continue to get entangled with the old subordinates of Xiliang. After Xiliu was completely bought by him and left Mrs. Luo's system, Mrs. Luo felt in danger. Now the old subordinates of Xiliang have realized that she had a second thought, but they were afraid of her men and the financial system she had mastered, so she did not dare to touch her. She also knew that if she could not obtain the complete protection of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, she would be abandoned by both and become an abandoned son.

Han Jian put down the gift list and explained it to Han Song for a few words. He left and sent someone to invite Mrs. Luo to a secret residence to meet.

This time, Mrs. Luo came alone. In the past, she had to be surrounded by her travels, or she might have felt her own crisis. This time she came out, she was much more low-key and walked very quickly, unlike the owner of a pampered business owner.

When he arrived at the yard of the residence, Han Jian was drinking himself in the pavilion, holding a list in his hand, and was watching.

"Young Master An." When Mrs. Luo saw Han Jian, she greeted him with great gifts this time, and knelt on the ground and bowed to him.

Han Jian glanced at Mrs. Luo, but did not reach out to help her, and said coldly: "What is Madam?"

"The young master is the master and the servant is the follower. This kind of courtesy should be like this." Mrs. Luo still knelt on the ground and said.

"Get up."

Han Jian put down the roster and said something.

Then Mrs. Luo slowly stood up and stood respectfully on the side without looking sideways. Naturally, she didn't dare to look up and see what the list was in Han Jian's hand, but she could only take a look at it at a rough look, as there seemed to be some names on it.

"My wife has already seen the gift list to the East Prince's Mansion. I have already seen it. There are quite a few gifts, but I don't know why Mrs. openly made this move. Are you not afraid that you Xiliang people will know?" Han Jian asked.

Mrs. Luo said respectfully: "Since I am a subordinate of the young master, I should not have any more entanglements with the people of Xiliang, not to mention that I am a Han person, and I am not a person from Xiliang."

"Oh? Are you a Han Chinese?" Han Jian pretended not to know.

Mrs. Luo explained: "My father is a Han person. Although my mother is from Xiliang, her mother's ancestors moved westward as people from Guanzhong, so... I am undoubtedly a Han person. It was because my family did not investigate before that I would conspire with the people of Xiliang. Now I only hope to stay with the prince to serve my life and dare not have two intentions."

Han Jian nodded slightly. Mrs. Luo also has a way of speaking and doing things. Merchants know how to be sophisticated and sophisticated. She thought she had no real identity since she was born. First, she didn't even know who her father was. After she became an adult, she could only move to the officialdom of Luoyang as her father's concubine. Who else would such a person believe in besides herself? Now she is just trying to protect herself. She said that she was here to join her wholeheartedly, and Han Jian would not believe it.

However, since Mrs. Luo is already at a desperate situation, it is worth it to take advantage of the situation.

"What did the lady say? I am here today. I'm just here to meet guests. If the lady has nothing to do, please come back!" Han Jian said in a cold tone.

Mrs. Luo felt a great sense of crisis. She originally thought that things had turned around. After all, this time it was the Dongwang Mansion who took the initiative to invite her, not her. Now Han Jian just met her and asked her to go back without saying a few words, making her feel whether she had touched the Dongwang and that the Dongwang was angry and did not intend to continue talking.

"Young Master, my family has brought the accounts of shops and the general accounts of money and grain that I have operated in Luoyang over the years and handed them over to your friends for review."

As he said that, Mrs. Luo took off the bag behind her back and handed it to the guards standing beside Han Jian. The guards checked that there was no problem before putting it on the table. Han Jian just lifted a little corner of the bag and looked in. He was not very interested in these money and grain books. Before, Han Jian thought that Mrs. Luo's materials should be included in the financial system of the Dongwang Mansion, but now the war in the north has basically been settled and no longer needs to worry about this thing. Maybe Mrs. Luo also realized that he had no great value in the Dongwang Mansion, so he had to be so sincere and even the oldest things had to be submitted.

"Mrs. This move has made me a little puzzled," said Han Jian. "Mrs. is a merchant. Even if she earns more money and grain, what does it have to do with the Eastern Prince's Mansion?"

Mrs. Luo said: "Everything in my family is planned by the King of the East, and what I gain is available to the King of the East at any time."

"Oh?" Han Jian smiled coldly. In his eyes, Mrs. Luo's cunning and ambition were incalculable to ordinary people. How deep is this woman's scheming? No one knows, even Han Jian can't control her. Since she can't control her completely, it will be a bit dangerous to stay by her. I don't know when she will bite her back.

But sometimes, controlling venomous snakes is just a man's specialty. Even if he knows that this woman is a vicious and scorpion-hearted person, Han Jian is interested in exploring the truth.

"The lady was waiting aside, and the lady should recognize the person I saw," said Han Jian.

Mrs. Luo stood aside with no words, and Han Jian continued to look at the list.

After half an hour, someone outside came into the yard under the guidance of the guards and saw the visitor. Mrs. Luo was still a little nervous. Not only did she recognize this person, she was also very close before, because she recommended this person to Han Jian, but she was not valued. She even Li Yun, the princess of Xiliang who was under house arrest by Han Jian for a long time.

At this time, Li Yun's situation was obviously much worse than Mrs. Luo.

After all, Mrs. Luo has her own connection system and business shop. Even if the surrounding area of ​​Luoyang is not stable now, it will not affect the operation of her entire connection system. Li Yun is different. Li Yun is not as capable as Mrs. Luo, and she is all those who eat idle food and cannot make money for her, so she needs to support her. Before, she had people from the Xiwang Mansion to provide her with financial funds, later, Mrs. Luo's support, and later, there was funding from the Dongwang Mansion. But after she used her body to charm Han Jian but was unable to get it, the Dongwang Mansion also cut off the supply to her. The people around her were fleeing and fleeing. Now those who could stay by her were loyal subordinates, and they were also loyal ministers of the Li Dynasty. But these people are now facing a dilemma, which is how to continue to make a living. Some even had to work in Luoyang to support themselves, after all, they had many families behind them.

When Li Yun saw Han Jian, he knelt down and bowed like Mrs. Luo, and worshiped him more sincerely than Mrs. Luo. He completely regarded Han Jian as the supreme monarch, and did not look like a second-minded slave at all. Even when Mrs. Luo looked at him, he felt that this woman would be more likely to flatter Han Jian than her.

Mrs. Luo has long heard of Li Yun giving a woman to Han Jian and trying to seduce Han Jian with her own body. She had long parted ways, mainly because Li Yun had been in love with the West Prince's Mansion. Mrs. Luo naturally felt that this woman was "being blamed", but now seeing Han Jian still receiving her, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. It is obvious that the East Prince's Mansion only needs one person to come out to take charge of the chess move in Xiliang. This person, Mrs. Luo, naturally, hoped that it was her, but the situation went against her wishes. It was she who recommended Li Yun to the East Prince's Mansion, which was also Li Yun's current irreconcilableness, and at the same time, she became the biggest enemy to compete for the chess piece around the East Prince's Mansion.

"So it's a princess." Han Jian smiled, put down the list again, and said, "I haven't seen each other for many days, and I've seen you much more. Is it true that Luoyang has a good soil and water, and how can the princess live a comfortable life?"

Li Yun smiled bitterly in her heart. If she lived a comfortable life, she would not have to worry about the matter of food, rice, oil and salt every day. She had not had many people, and now she had a group of people, and those people even became bandits. Originally, she had a connection system, and it was a good way to find a mountain to occupy the mountain and become the king, at least not to worry about starving to death. But she was not determined to be here, and she was arrogant and wanted to restore the country for Xiliang and then become the master of Xiliang. This was what she wanted throughout her life. Now the only one who could help her was the man in front of her, so she would curry favor with her at all costs. She also knew that she was not as powerful as Mrs. Luo's manpower and material resources, so she thought of using her body as the capital for exchange, but she didn't know that Han Jian had no good feelings for her, which made her counterproductive and not being valued by the King of the East.

Li Yun's head was lying on the ground, still saying nothing.

Mrs. Luo looked at Li Yun with a slightly vicious look, as if she was her old enemy, whether she had me or not.

"Get up. I don't like to talk to people with my head down." Han Jian said.

Li Yun's body shook, thinking that his unintentional offended the King of the East again? He quickly stood up from the ground and noticed that Mrs. Luo was also there. She had come in quickly and lowered her head, so she had no time to pay attention to the situation of the people around Han Jian. Li Yun did not have such a big prejudice against Mrs. Luo, mainly because she did not hate Mrs. Luo. It was her deliberate concealment that made Mrs. Luo lose power in front of the King of the East.

Han Jian poured a glass of wine, but did not drink it, but picked up another cup and poured another cup, saying, "The situation in the north is stable now. I expect that before spring and summer, the Xianbei people will not raise troops to go south again. I intend to take this opportunity to pacify the north and clear away internal troubles. Do you two know what I mean?"

Li Yun and Mrs. Luo subconsciously looked at each other, trying to guess from each other that they understood Han Jian's words.

But they obviously couldn't understand Han Jian's intention in their hearts.

Han Jian said that he wanted to pacify the north, but now the only city of Beichuan is left in the Northern Palace, which can no longer pose a great threat. After all, Beichuan resisted the Xianbei people and shared the same hatred for the enemy, but when he resisted the imperial army, even Xiaobei Wang Yang Ke himself did not have the confidence, let alone the generals under Yang Ke who had close ties with the court. Now the biggest obstacle to pacifying the north comes from the Western Palace. Han Jian's meaning of this is probably that the Eastern Palace will send troops to attack Guanzhong soon.

Although it is a bit horrible, it is reasonable after all. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
