Lin Xiaosu seemed very embarrassed, obviously not ready, and suddenly Han Jian told her about the marriage, she seemed a little at a loss. In the Dongwang Mansion system, she was already an indispensable person. After missing her, Han Jian also felt that she was a lot busy. If Lin Xiaosu was by his side to help, he could at least save too much worry. Even if Lin Xiaosu was no longer the girl who made a living by selling tea on the street, she could make those evil officials frightened in front of others, but in front of Han Jian, she was still just a girl who liked to make trouble with others as she was at the beginning.

There was no need for any answer from her at this time. In fact, she didn't know how to answer, so she simply let Han Jian hold her hand and walked through the yard together.

When Han Jian told Han Song about what happened to Lin Xiaosu, Han Song immediately smiled. She really admired Lin Xiaosu too much. In her opinion, the best way to subdue a woman like Lin Xiaosu is to make her a member of the Eastern Palace. Only in this way can she work for the Eastern Palace wholeheartedly.

"Jian'er, when are you going to organize a marriage? Or wait for General Lin to come back from the north?" Han Songshi was still talking directly in front of Lin Xiaoshu, "You can settle the matter first and take a few days before doing it. In short, it depends on what you mean."

Han Jian glanced at Lin Xiaosu and asked with a smile: "What do you think Xiaosu?"

Lin Xiaosu was naturally unintentional, but he lowered his head and shook his head slightly. The general meaning was that he had heard everything and did not make any comments at all.

Han Jian said: "As soon as possible, even if Xiao Su has no relatives, he can still make up for it after the marriage. At that time, the soldiers will be happy with their triumphant success and the marriage will be considered a double happiness."

Han Song smiled and said, "Whether or not, then the second mother will handle it for you first. This time the marriage will be lively."

As she said that, Han Song walked away and wanted to go to the inner courtyard to discuss with Han Cui and others. She couldn't make up her mind for such a big deal. Her enthusiasm still had a little bit of "benefiting one and the other". Compared to Fa Yi and even Song Suqing, she was more eager to Han Jian marry Lin Xiaosu.

"Xiao Su, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so you should take more rest. There are not many things that are tight at the moment, so you don't have to worry about it." Han Jian said, holding Lin Xiaosu's shoulder.

Lin Xiaosu shook his head firmly and said, "I haven't done anything for many days. Many things are unfamiliar. It's not a solution to last for a long time. I want to... do more."

Han Jian nodded with a smile. He still appreciated Lin Xiaosu's enthusiasm for work. When Lin Xiaosu completely manages the logistics supplies of the Dongwang Mansion, the couple will be together.

...

...

After a few days, Han Song basically finished the marriage. The marriage was also in an orderly manner. Three books and six rituals, Lin Xiaosu seemed to be the official concubine, and did not neglect at all.

However, Yang Rui didn't feel very happy. She knew something about Lin Xiaosu, knowing that this was the most critical part of the logistics system of the Dongwang Mansion. Now Lin Xiaosu was about to enter the Dongwang Mansion. Han Jian had not even discussed it with her before, which made her angry for a few days.

After Han Jian and Yang Rui announced the marriage of the world, he kept talking about the wedding, but it was still a long way off. Now Han Jian wants to marry Lin Xiaosu in advance, which makes the world feel that the Eastern Prince's Mansion does not take the emperor seriously. Han Jian doesn't care about the rumors from the outside world, and it is extremely difficult to completely erase people and speak out. Since his enlightened thoughts are done, he is not afraid of others' words, and he will not erase public opinion.

During the few days, Han Jian was most concerned about the progress of the war in the north. The war report was almost several times a day.

Lin Zhan's troops besieged Beichuan City this time. The troops were mainly Lin Zhan's old subordinates, with more than 30,000 troops, plus the surrendered troops and scattered soldiers in some places. The total number of soldiers was between 50,000 and 60,000. The defenders in Beichuan City were only as many as 10,000, and the morale of the army was disintegrated. This battle was said to be a success on paper. But in fact, it was not that easy to conquer Beichuan City.

Originally, Han Jian's plan was to open a breakthrough from some guards and officials in Beichuan City, and it would be best to win the city without fighting. Moreover, Han Jian had asked Lin Zhan to send envoys to the city to send a letter of persuasion to Yang Ke, the king of Xiaobei. However, the effect was not great, and Yang Ke ignored the court's persuasion to surrender. A war began immediately.

In the first few days, the siege was only tentative. What's more important was that the court cut off the grain route and supply line of Beichuan City, making Beichuan City an isolated city. I don't know how long the food and grass in Beichuan City can last, but Han Jian didn't want to drag it down. If he really waited for no soldiers or food in the city to capture the city, it might take how long. I'm afraid that the war in the north would drag down the Eastern Palace. Han Jian wanted only a quick battle.

The meetings in Luoyang City are also held every day, mainly discussing the allocation of food, grass and troops. Before the north launched a large-scale siege, there were many food, grass and supplies that were lacking, and it was unlikely to raise them for a while. Back then, there was also a huge expense, and these needed to be prepared in advance.

The Spring Festival is a time for family happiness, but Han Jian was so busy that he was a little dizzy. Fortunately, Lin Xiaosu assisted him, so he didn't get tired of him. However, for a few days, he only had two or three hours of sleep every day, and he had to keep an eye on the battle report and make some arrangements at any time. But after all, the front line was a bit too far, and he felt like he was out of reach.

After the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion stepped out of Jiangdu, Han Jian basically only commanded behind the scenes and did not go to the front line. The front line war command was basically handled by Zhang Xing, Lin Zhan and others. Han Jian was also considering whether to lead the troops personally in the battle to enter the palace and Guanzhong. Perhaps only in this way can he not be anxious when the war occurs. After all, the decision he made would take two or three days to pass to the front line. Many things were delayed, and even did not match the situation on the front line.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the latest progress was finally made on the front line. Gu Nantong, the southern defender of Beichuan City, and others jointly proposed to Xiaobei Wang Yang Ke to surrender to the court, but was beheaded by Yang Ke for public acts of disturbing the king, which inspired a mutiny. Then Lin Zhan's troops attacked the outer city of Beichuan South City.

Originally, the defenders in the city just wanted to persuade them to surrender rather than to advise them, but after Yang Ke made a killer, the defenders in the city began to become disinterested. Many people had already begun to secretly send letters to Lin Zhan's army, in addition to protecting themselves after the war was over, they also meant to inform them.

After the capture of Beichuan City in the south, a large amount of food and grass were seized, and the supplies in Beichuan City were in short supply. However, Lin Zhan's troops deliberately slowed down and did not continue to attack the inner city immediately. However, Yang Ke had already felt that the situation was hopeless and even killed several generals whom he suspected.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, after a few days of stalemate, Yang Ke finally couldn't help but decide to surrender. That night, before Yang Ke personally left the city to welcome the imperial army into the city, the people were killed by the riots, and a mutiny occurred in the city. The result was still gone on the 14th, but someone opened the gate of the inner city. Surprisingly, Lin Zhan's troops did not enter the inner city, but just watched the fire across the river and waited for the end of the civil strife in the city.

By the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the riots in the city had basically subsided, and some guards and local generals went out of the city to surrender. At the same time, Yang Ke's head was handed out.

The battle of Beichuan City, which had been stalemate for more than half a year, came to an end. The news that Beichuan City was captured reached Luoyang in the afternoon of the same day. For a moment, people in the court and the country were encouraged. Many people took advantage of the fact that it was the Lantern Festival and congratulated Yang Rui, and there were also many people coming to congratulate him on the East Prince's Mansion.

Under Beichuan City, it means that the north from the south of Beiguan has been owned by the court except Guanzhong. Most of the territory in the north has been belonged to the court, but after all, the military power is under the control of the Dongwang Mansion. In other words, the Dongwang Mansion has now become half of the master of the world.

...

...

The banquet for the palace during the Spring Festival was cancelled, but it was the Spring Festival. Because of the victory of the war in the north, Yang Rui specially prepared a banquet to entertain the ministers that night, and also announced the news of the victory in the north.

Because the banquet was very hurrying, there were not many wines and dishes prepared in the palace, and some of them needed to be served on the East Prince's Mansion. After Han Jian received the people who came to the East Prince's Mansion to congratulate him, he realized that the banquet had begun and did not wait for him to arrive.

"Your Highness, the old minister is here to welcome him." As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, a man came up in a dark and dark place, but it was Ning Yuan who should have entered the palace early to the banquet.

At this time, Ning Yuan seemed to have deliberately left out his relationship with the court. As a minister of the court, he was already a vassal of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and even did not enter the palace gate. Instead, he waited for Han Jian to come and go in with him at the palace gate.

"Why didn't Shangshu Ning go in?" Han Jian asked while walking.

"The old minister learned that the troubles in the Northern Prince's Mansion have been lifted, so he is here to wait for the Eastern Prince to celebrate." Ning Yuan followed behind and said.

Han Jian smiled and said, "No need to congratulate you, you should congratulate Your Majesty. If you are the Minister of Personnel, you are not here, and your Majesty's banquet is missing an important guest."

Ning Yuan showed inexplicable nervousness on his face. He had already learned that the banquet in the palace had begun. This time, Yang Rui invited all the generals of the imperial faction. He was naturally among the invitations. But he also knew that Han Jian, as the Eastern King, had not entered the palace, and the banquet had already begun. This made him feel that something was wrong. If there was a conflict, he obviously wanted to stand on the side of the Eastern King's Mansion.

"Your Highness, don't rush to the Wenwu Palace." Ning Yuan suddenly reminded.

"Oh? What does Ning Shangshu mean?" Han Jian stopped and looked at Ning Yuan.

"I'm afraid someone will be unfavorable to Your Highness."

Ning Yuan's words were a little vague, and he didn't say who it was, but the meaning was already very obvious. Someone wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Han Jian. After thinking a little, Han Jian knew the general meaning of Ning Yuan's words. These people who were not good for him should be people from the imperial faction. As the initiator of today's banquet, Yang Rui was naturally the most suspicious.

"Before Shangshu Ning speaks, it is best to have evidence, otherwise others will not be convinced."

Han Jian said this, but he was still confused. It is indeed a festive and victorious battle that makes him slack. Assassination is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He would not bring too many people to enter the palace. Although the palace guards were all under his control, the crowd was very chaotic at the banquet today, and all the people invited were from the court factions. If these people join forces to kill him, it would be very dangerous for him to fight with four hands.

Ning Yuan said: "I have heard a little bit that some people with evil thoughts have always wanted to be unfavorable to you. This time, Your Majesty invited the court officials but did not wait for Your Highness to go. Can't you explain the problem?"

"You mean, Your Majesty also knows that this is the case?" Han Jian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Yuan.

"The old minister dare not say that, but according to the old minister's opinion, Your Majesty intends to protect Your Highness, otherwise why wouldn't you wait for Your Highness to go before the banquet? But the old minister couldn't say it well... Who can understand the situation now?"

No matter how he said that Han Jian didn't want to believe that Yang Rui was going to kill him, but in fact, he deserved to be damned, at least he thought that's the case from Yang Rui's standpoint.

If he died and the Eastern Prince's Mansion was merged by the court, Yang Rui's internal worries would be gone and he could regain the military and political power of the court, even more stable than when she was at the peak of her rule.

But doing so will also cause civil strife. It depends entirely on whether she can pacify the mutiny caused by the loss of Han Jian in the East Prince's Mansion in a short period of time, especially facing the revenge of Han Song and others on her.

"Do you know who it is?" Han Jian didn't continue to walk. The things he thought about were too complicated. He didn't want to continue thinking about many things, so he asked directly.

"The old minister has not yet found out, so... he can only persuade His Highness Dong Wang not to go to the Wenwu Palace here."

Han Jian nodded slightly, turned to the palace gate, and told the guards a few words. The guards hurried away. When Ning Yuan felt that Han Jian was going to do something, the guards who were sending the order came back soon, but this time they transferred more than 200 fully armed soldiers wearing armor and armor.

"Transfer the three guards' palace guards and go to the Wenwu Palace with me." Han Jian also said to the court guards' official position.

Ning Yuan said nervously: "Why is Your Highness like this... I'm afraid... it's inappropriate."

He had already realized what Han Jian was going to do. Since it was his report that someone was not good for Han Jian, Han Jian simply led his troops in, but doing so would be a mutiny. It would be a very difficult ending next. I am afraid that Yang Rui would abdicate until Han Jian ascends the throne and becomes emperor.

"What's wrong with Shangshu Ning?" Han Jian asked back.

"This...this..."

Ning Yuan couldn't answer at all. Logically speaking, Han Jian now has military power and has full control of Luoyang. The north has driven away the Xianbei people to pacify the Northern Prince's Mansion. It is not an exaggeration to ascend the throne to the emperor. He himself chose to stand on the position of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. But when Han Jian was about to usurp the throne, he was a little frightened. He didn't want to be a sinner, although he was already a sinner in theory.

"Shangshu Ning is so careless." Han Jian smiled and patted Ning Yuan's shoulder and said, "I am calling some people to enter the palace together, but I don't mean to force the palace. I just want to protect Jingquan. If someone really dares to be ill-treated against me, it's better to have a response. If the meal is safe and sound, will I still expel my child's mother from the throne?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
