Chapter 708: Enlightenment
At this time, Lu Shaokun was much older than that of the past, and he did not have the proud energy he had ever seen. He walked out of his very old look and knelt down to salute Han Jian and Yang Rui, but he called him "master".
Han Jian witnessed Lu Shaokun's death that day, just before Ye'an Pavilion, but he could not walk casually in the palace at that time, so he only heard about how Lu Shaokun's body was dealt with in the end. The collusion between Lu Shaokun and the Western Prince's Mansion was a sensation in the court at that time, and later somehow it was settled. Now it seems that it was Yang Rui's conspiracy behind him.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Han Jian looked at Yang Rui and said coldly.
Yang Rui's expression was calm, and raised his hand first, let Lu Shaokun get up, then looked at Han Jian and said, "It was a real relationship between the Lu Qing family and the Hope Mansion at that time, but it was my intentional arrangement, in order to paralyze the people in the Xiwang Mansion and find out the people behind the scenes controlled by the Xiwang Mansion in the capital. It was only when the people in the Xiwang Mansion were noticed in advance that I had to use this move to let him pretend to die and hide the world."
Han Jian's face was a little gloomy. He didn't know about this from beginning to end. Only today did he know that Lu Shaokun, the old eunuch, was still alive in the world. He had no way to investigate what Lu Shaokun had done behind the scenes in the past three years.
Yang Rui seemed to notice what Han Jian was thinking and sighed: "You don't need to be too concerned. I'm afraid that the people in the Xiwang Mansion will be detrimental to Lu Qing's family. Over the years, he has been placed in the counties and counties around Luoyang. It was not until the New Year that he asked him to return to Luoyang to see if he could help you in the moment of advancing Guanzhong."
Han Jian sneered: "Anyway, your Majesty is kind?"
Yang Rui could see Han Jian's anger. She had never mentioned such a secret matter, but she could not blame her entirely. Lu Shaokun was just a "fine work" she arranged outside. It was equivalent to a double-sided spy. On the one hand, he made the people of the Western Prince's Mansion believe that he was greedy and betrayed the court, but on the other hand, he was infiltrated into the Western Prince's Mansion camp to find out the news. Even if Lu Shaokun was not dead, it would not have much impact on the overall situation. Moreover, Han Jian never doubted Lu Shaokun's death, let alone mentioned it.
"Lu Qing's family. You retreat first. I have something to say to the East King." Yang Rui felt that Han Jian was not good at his attitude, and she didn't want to argue with Han Jian in front of a loyal old minister, so she asked Lu Shaokun to retreat first.
Lu Shaokun was timid and Han Jian looked at the side. He didn't care much about Lu Shaokun's life or death, but once Yang Rui concealed anything, she would have hidden a lot of things. The gap between the two of them was not something that could be solved by formal marriage. An emperor of the Nine Five, a powerful minister holding military power, was on the opposite side. Perhaps feelings were just an appearance. How could he guess what Yang Rui thought was in his heart?
"If you want to hate me, just hate me." Yang Rui suddenly sighed, "After today, I am afraid that there will be many things that will be difficult to explain clearly. I just want to say it. I am tired of being an emperor and have no intention of caring about those things anymore. It is better to be a woman and save some troubles in the government affairs. Today's court meeting will be dispersed, and the wedding date will be possible at any time. If you think you are not a good person, you don't want to marry me. In the future, I will not ask more about the affairs of the court."
Originally, Han Jian was still angry, but after hearing Yang Rui's words, why did he feel like he was explaining his funeral?
Yang Rui had already realized everything in one day. Or did Yang Rui be ready to leave without saying goodbye and throw the entire court to him, and then his whereabouts were unknown and could not even find it? In his eyes, Yang Rui was still sufficient and capable of independentness. This is a personality trait that women of this era did not have. Perhaps because she is the lord of the nineteenth century, the way of thinking about problems may be more direct and absolute than a man's family.
Han Jian said in a deep voice: "You can even refuse military power?"
Yang Rui smiled and shook his head helplessly and said, "What's the use of coming? I'm just a woman. Even if I have been an emperor for several years, what if I've been a emperor for a few years? Now that Wei Chao is already in my hands, it's better to let someone with a capable person live there. If it were someone else, I would never agree, but that person is the closest person to me and my support. What else can I worry about you, my husband?"
Han Jian suddenly sneered. Yang Rui's attitude changed so incredible. A few days ago, he was still tit-for-tat with him, and even quarreled with him over the affairs of the government. Now he has such a great enlightenment as if he has seen through everything. He doesn't even accept him if he wants to return the government? Or is it that Yang Rui sees the current situation in the court clearly, and she is not enough to control the overall situation, so she simply takes retreat as advance and hands over the major matters to him first, which can be considered as paralyzing him. After the north is pacified or even the world is pacified, we will take it back together?
Standing in the original place, Han Jian also looked at the open space behind the forest and silently without saying a word. The court meeting was held, and the marriage date between him and Yang Rui was announced, and the military power was returned to Yang Rui according to etiquette. He also wanted to let go, but now Yang Rui seemed to be more thorough than he did.
"Husband, if you are angry, say it out, so I can know it. But now I don't know what to do now, even I am. Shouldn't you give me some advice?" Yang Rui felt a little nervous when he saw Han Jian not speaking for a long time. This was not Han Jian's personality. With Han Jianfeng's hot personality, he dared to love and hate. If Han Jian was really angry, he should have burst out long ago. But now Han Jian chose to remain silent, and this silence also gave her an unknown premonition. There is no greater sorrow than death in his heart. Has Han Jian seen through some things?
Han Jian sighed, "Then I'll send someone to call the prince back and preside over the government!"
As he said that, Han Jian moved his foot and was about to leave.
Yang Rui walked up to stop Han Jian and said anxiously: "Xi'er is now, and he can't even take good care of himself. How can he lead the subjects in the world? Now that he is out, he is also giving him the opportunity to experience. What does it mean to recall him?"
Han Jian frowned and said, "What are you trying to do these things? You are worried about the prince, I will take it back for you. You are worried that Prince Yan Ning will cause trouble, so I am also looking for someone to help you solve it. Your brother rebelled, I will take Luoyang back, and the Northern Palace will take your brother in. I will pacify you, expel foreign barbarians, and now I will help you pacify Jiangbei. What else do you want me?"
Han Jian was also a little angry, and he was very annoyed.
It was because Yang Rui was too busy to understand that he could not understand many things, but when he arrived at Yang Rui, he could cause trouble. First, Yi Die and others openly fought against the Eastern Prince's Mansion. He was captured in one fell swoop. Later, in order to protect these people, Yang Rui even tried to commit suicide when he was pregnant. Now he wanted to return the military power, but he did not want to make the stitches in front of foreign enemies. Now Yang Rui is still asking him questions, making him unable to feel what chess Yang Rui is going to take next.
Yang Rui stared at Han Jian, with tears falling from the corner of his eyes, but he was relieved: "My husband does everything for me, and I understand it. So I should be here to apologize for my husband. Isn't it okay?"
As he said that, Yang Rui actually bowed in front of Han Jian, just like a minister worshiping the king.
Han Jian didn't even help him, and he didn't even look at Yang Rui. Yang Rui suddenly understood so thoroughly, but he felt that this was not what Yang Rui should do.
Originally, he was unsuspecting to Yang Rui and even gave up his heart, but after Yang Rui did a lot of things, he had to be careful of Yang Rui's actions without scolding Rui. His suspicious personality was almost the same as Yang Rui trained for him. Now that he can't understand what Yang Rui does, he will naturally be suspicious.
"You are the emperor, why should you kneel down as a minister?" Han Jian looked into the distance and said coldly.
"But you are my husband, just as my husband said yesterday, my wife is the husband's leader. Is it wrong for me to kneel down to my husband?" Yang Rui was a little excited, and tears continued to flow.
Han Jian turned around and looked at Yang Rui's face. He really didn't want to doubt Yang Rui anymore. This was the woman he loved deeply. But reason told him that this should not be the reaction Yang Rui should have. Because Yang Rui was also the lord of the world, she also carries the mission of the Yang royal family. Things that were no longer confused, but because of Yang Rui's sudden change in personality, he was extremely entangled.
Han Jian did not go to help each other and said in a deep voice: "Today's court meeting can be cancelled. As for the marriage, the marriage can be postponed. But after the war is over, the prince can also slow down. But when Su Tingxia's troops enter Guanzhong, the prince will come back to preside over the overall situation. Don't worry, I won't fight with you anymore, and it doesn't make any sense for you to do these."
As he said that Han Jian was about to leave, Yang Rui suddenly leaned on the ground and grabbed his ankle with his hands, making him unable to move steadily. He could break away from Yang Rui with force, but he also knew that Yang Rui was pregnant with his flesh and blood, and it was still very cold in spring. How could he not catch a cold if his belly was leaning against the ground like this?
"What are you doing?" Han Jian had to stretch out his hand to support him.
Yang Rui held Han Jian's ankle tightly and did not loosen, almost crying, "Just think that I was wrong? What I did before was wrong. If my husband doesn't forgive me, I will not be able to afford it."
This scene that made Han Jian feel distressed was in front of him, and he couldn't be tough in his heart. He had no resistance to the women around him, especially the women he loved deeply.
Yang Rui's character, her identity, and her arrogance in being unyielding in front of others were all appreciated by him, and even Yang Rui's rejection of others thousands of miles away did not allow him to avoid it at all. Perhaps because of this, Yang Rui chose to be with him. Although some of the things that happened later were unwilling to be, they happened in the end. Now Yang Rui lacked the airs of an emperor, and looked at him with a woman's attitude of persuading her husband to change his mind, which made him feel self-blame in his heart.
"stand up."
Han Jian supported each other, but Yang Rui still couldn't afford it.
Han Jian said: "I can't forgive you yet? Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your stomach."
Yang Rui was already crying like a tearful person. This was the first time Han Jian saw such a loss of composure. No matter what, he couldn't stand the woman around him crying so heart-wrenchingly in front of him. Even if Yang Rui had hidden many things in the past, he would have entrusted his life to him after all, and he could only resist all the mistakes himself.
Yang Rui's body was a little soft, as if he couldn't even stand upright. Seeing that there was no place around him, Han Jian had to untied the cloak outside the court suit and spread it on the ground, and temporarily let Yang Rui sit on it. After Yang Rui sat down, he cried even more. It made Han Jian feel that there was a change in his eyes. How could this be the queen who was arrogant?
Han Jian also sat down and comforted her. After a long time, Yang Rui improved slightly. Yang Rui leaned in Han Jian's arms, his eyes were a little confused, as if there were other things in his eyes except Han Jian. Han Jian sighed, but he also felt that the time he had been in the palace this time was a bit long, and civil and military officials outside were still waiting to enter the palace to hold a court meeting. I am afraid that this would not be a solution.
"It would be better for the court to discuss matters as scheduled." Han Jian said.
Yang Rui didn't say anything, but instead hugged Han Jian tighter.
Han Jian said in confusion: "What happened? Why... I feel that today's you are different from the past?"
Yang Rui moved his body a little and said, "It was my fault before. I have been thinking that my husband might be planning for the country and country of Wei Dynasty."
Han Jian was silent for a moment. It would be a lie to say that he had no slight covetousness for the country. As a man, he maintained the thinking of postmodern people. He did not have the clichéd theories of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism to shackle him. How could he say that he did not want to accomplish the emperor's affairs? But now Yang Rui knew that he did not have such ambition?
"Where did you know?" Han Jian said, "I can't even be sure of myself."
Yang Rui said: "I was confused in the past, but I didn't want my husband to be tired of me anymore. In the future, I would be just a little woman around me, and I would ignore the affairs of the court. As for Xier, after he comes back, I will be named a vassal king and will no longer inherit the orthodox emperor."
"ah?"
Han Jian was still surprised. Didn’t Yang Rui always want to train Yang Xi to be the emperor? Why is his attitude very different today?
"Xi'er is cowardly and has no emperor's style. Her husband is both virtuous and talented. If his husband is determined to be the emperor, I will abdicate himself. I only hope that his husband can pass the throne to your children in the future." Yang Rui suddenly seemed to be begging.
Han Jian smiled bitterly. Why did Yang Rui say this seem to have understood everything? But in fact, she understands it?
Since he was ready to return the military power, he was ready to let go of his obsession and was not so enthusiastic about becoming an emperor. So what he did in the past two years is different from an emperor? Everyone thinks that being an emperor is such a noble profession, but in fact, as long as the people in the world are peaceful and peaceful, is there any difference between having emperors and courts? Being an emperor is just a mediator from it. So what if you have power? What is the difference between three meals and one night a day before your lifetime, and one tomb after your death? (To be continued...)
