When Han Jian first ascended the throne, the entire court affair revolved around the battle with Xianbei, and many things could be postponed, so that Han Jian's accession to the throne basically followed the system and officials of the original Wei Dynasty, and even the country name and year name were not considered to be changed. But now that the war is over, he has returned victoriously, and many things have been put on the table, including one of his more difficult problems, that is, the canonization of the queen.

Among the women of Han Jianbian, Yang Rui's status is noble, as the empress of the previous dynasty, her status is not comparable to Yang Li'er and other women. But since Yang Rui is the lord of the Wei Dynasty, he will not be willing to be the empress of his new emperor, this is the bottom line of Yang Rui's Zen throne, and Han Jian can't touch it. Even if Han Jian didn't canonize Yang Rui as the queen, Han Jian couldn't treat Yang Rui badly, and regarded her as a woman who was beyond the inner palace system, just like the emperor, even if someone else became the queen, he couldn't be disrespectful to her.

As for the candidates for other queens, Han Jian actually only has two people to consider, Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er are nominally his concubines, and the second daughter is from the daughter of the first assistant, and she is a beautiful girl and studied in the Shangqing Palace when she was a girl, and Han Jian is the princess of the East who married back with three books and six rites, it can be said that Gu Xin'er is the first woman Han Jian loves with his heart in this world. Although Han Jian has enough love and respect for Gu Xin'er, the problem is that Yang Qian'er's status in his heart is not comparable to Gu Xin'er's, Yang Li'er gave up the family and "eloped" with him, so that Han Jian still feels that he owes Yang Xin'er a lot, which makes her suffer in the gap between the East Wangfu and the South Wangfu, Yang Li'er has another layer of identity is the mother of his eldest son, Han Xi, as the prince of the East Wangfu, may also become the prince in the future, and it is reasonable for Yang Li'er's mother to be the queen.

As for the other women, if you talk about everyone's beauty, Ning Xiuyan is not far behind. Ning Xiuyan is still the daughter of Ning Yuan, the first of the dynasties, but Ning Xiuyan's identity is too embarrassing, and she was originally nameless and shareless, which was Ning Yuan's "gift" to Han Jian. Han Jian once insisted on taking Ning Xiuyan into the Dongwang Mansion, but in the end he was also rejected by Ning Xiuyan, Han Jian felt that although Ning Xiuyan was gentle and virtuous enough. But she still has an inferiority complex psychologically, and this shadow often accompanies Ning Xiuyan's side, making Han Jian unable to choose. In any case, even if Ning Xiuyan could not be made the queen, Han Jian was ready to move Ning Xiuyan, Ning Shun'er and Yang Xiuxiu to the palace at the same time as welcoming all the women into the palace immediately.

Han Jian left the Dongwang Mansion and first went to the Yamen of the Military Station, which was the place that Han Jian went to most often during his two years in Luoyang. Although Han Jian returned to the dynasty with his own soldiers and horses, the war between the north and Xianbei had not yet completely ended. Lin Zhan's department is still continuing to clean up the mess, as for Su Tingxia's department, he has not returned to the grassland, but the war has reached the stage of the beginning and end, and there are still a lot of military and political matters waiting for Han Jian to deal with.

It was almost noon before Han Jian arrived at the Yamen of the Shangting Office, which is now the office of Shangshutai and the core of the civil administration system of the entire Wei Dynasty. Although Han Jian was the emperor, he did not work in the palace. It really startled the officials of Shangshutai, but it was not the first time Han Jian had been to the listening office. After these officials were shocked, they still had to salute Han Jian in accordance with the etiquette of the monarch and ministers, and report to Han Jian one by one the major events of the imperial court that had accumulated in the past six months.

Ning Yuan, as the minister of Lingshang Shutai, can be regarded as the first assistant of a dynasty, and the things he has played are many and complicated, and many things are not very complicated originally, after being handled by his hands. made Han Jian feel that Ning Yuan was deliberately turning small things into big things. After Han Jian removed Gongsun Shu, the entire Shangshutai was basically headed by Ning Yuan alone, and even the middle and lower-level scribes were arranged by Ning Yuan. After Ning Yuan played the big and small things, he still played the major events about the orthodox succession of Han Jian's throne and the change of dynasty, the country name, the change of the yuan, the establishment of the queen, and the establishment of the prince.

“…… Your Majesty. These matters involve the prosperity of the country, and now that the foreign country has been eliminated, the people's hearts are still stable, and the people urgently need the new emperor to preside over the government and order the world to return to the heart, and His Majesty should not delay it, or should make a decision earlier. Ning Yuan finally admonished.

The minister next to him also seconded the proposal, these things are related to the stability of the country, and the official can only say to Han Jian that these people don't want to be ministers but want to be heroes of the founding of the country. But Han Jian's mind is not here, in Han Jian's mind, the relationship between the country name and the year name is not very big, at the moment he has not thought about some things, the problem of Yang Rui in the palace has not been solved, and he has not figured out the problem of Lihou and Lichu.

Han Jian got up and said, "Taishi Ning is worried too much, you still have to think about how to make the situation stable, that is your duty Taishi Ning." ”

Without staying too long, Han Jian shook off his sentence and got up to leave the listening office. Ning Yuan also felt Han Jian's distrust of him, starting from Han Jian's veto of many of his proposals before the expedition, and then he cooperated with Han Song's purge of the old bureaucratic system in Luoyang, and was reprimanded by Han Jian and removed from office. If it is an ordinary emperor, he doesn't have to worry so much, any emperor will not easily remove the first auxiliary minister for the stability of the court situation below, and there is no too much opinion on the other parties to balance the relationship between the court and the situation. Now that he is a man of words in the civil official system of the imperial court, no one can take his place, even if he recalls Gu Weipan, who has retired, it is impossible to call for wind and rain in the court as before.

But the problem is that Han Jian himself governs the country by force, and he does not particularly trust the civilian system, and the changes of the first assistant in the DPRK and China have not been very frequent in the past two years, mainly in Gu Weipan, Lin Ke and Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan knows that his status in Han Jian's mind is not as good as Gu Weipan, but he is obviously higher than Lin Ke in terms of ability, with Lin Ke being imprisoned, his life and death are now uncertain, and Gu Weipan completely no longer pays attention to the affairs of the court because of the change of dynasty, although Ning Yuan feels that he is the best candidate for the first assistant, But he still didn't dare to guarantee whether Han Jian would replace him immediately in the future.

Han Jian left Shangshutai and did not return to the East Palace, but walked around the familiar streets of Luoyang, looking for some of the feelings he had when he first came to Luoyang. He is mainly to inspect people's livelihood.

The war in the north is very far away for the people of Luoyang, but the people's lives have a great impact, because the whole country is fighting, and the people even the most basic rations are controlled by the imperial court. It has been almost three years since Han Jianbing sent Jiangdu, and too many changes have taken place in Luoyang in these three years, and with the arrival of the change of dynasty, Han Jian even has the idea of moving the capital.

"Your Majesty, there is a message from the house, please go back." Just when Han Jian was standing on the second floor of the Qingxu Elegant House, which was not open for business, facing the scene of Luoyang Street outside. The guards came forward to report.

Han Jian looked sideways at the guards and asked, "Did the princess of the county send someone to inform you?" ”

The guard saluted, 'Yes.' ”

Han Jian probably thought that it was for Han Song's business again, and the women in the mansion thought that he would make peace with Han Song's family after returning to the house, but Han Jian didn't go to visit Han Song's family at all, and continued to ground Han Song's family. Now the two helpers of the Han Song clan in the house, the Han Xu clan and the Han Zhao clan, are trying their best to make the family harmonious. But because of Han Song's purge, Han Jian no longer has many people available in the court, which is what Han Jian is angry about, and Han Jian is also blaming Han Song's in his heart, and he doesn't want to make peace so quickly.

"Go back and say that I still have something to do, and I can't go back until I'm done!" Han Jian instructed the guards.

The guards didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly went back to the East Palace. And Han Jian continued to stay in Qingxu Yashe and looked at the situation outside, with noon. There are finally some pedestrians on the streets of Luoyang, but they are all coming and going in a hurry, which cannot be compared with the bustling pedestrians in the city when Han Jian first arrived in Luoyang a few years ago. How many years did this war set back the lives of the people in the Central Plains, Han Jian didn't dare to imagine that in ancient times, when the living conditions were backward, in the absence of high-yield crops, the people mainly only relied on corn to live, and in the past few years. The people have basically reached the point of not having enough to eat. He, the new emperor, is also too depressed.

"Go to the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and by the way, let the officials of the Ministry of War and above two divisions. Come along! ”

With Han Jian's order, someone immediately went to spread the word. Han Jian sat in Qingxu Yasha drinking tea, in fact, he also wanted to be alone, whether it was in the court, in the palace or in the East Palace, there were many things waiting for him to do, and he could feel tired after returning from the north. I don't want to pay too much attention to anything.

Just when Han Jian and other officials arrived, the two small sedan chairs downstairs stopped, but a woman walked down from each of the two sedan chairs, Han Jian glanced upstairs, it was the two women who fought each other in the Dongwangfu system. Princess Li Yun of Xiliang and Mrs. Luo. The news of Han Jian's return to North Korea was made public, but Han Jian did not summon the two to come to the meeting, which means that the two of them came uninvited.

The second daughter wanted to come in but was stopped by the guards, Han Jian asked people to go down to pass the word before letting them go, Mrs. Luo and Li Yun went upstairs almost side by side, from the perspective of relationship, the two seemed to be peaceful, but they still remained vigilant.

Xiliang has been sacked by the Xianbei people after tossing, but nearly a year after the loss of Xiliang, the Wei Dynasty soldiers and horses dispatched by Han Cui's clan recaptured the old land of Xiliang from the hands of the Xianbei people, and occupied all the main roads between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty!" The second daughter came up and saw Han Jian drinking tea, and without too much movement, she knelt down and kowtowed head-on to show her respect for the king.

Han Jian put down the teacup and said leisurely: "Madam and princess actually know that I have returned to the dynasty?" Flatten, get up and talk! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mrs. Luo got up first, while Li Yun was still kneeling on the ground, and Han Jian was not reluctant. Mrs. Luo went to Xiliang, originally to mobilize the people of the old department of Xiliang to resist the Xianbei people to complete her duties as the minister of Xiliang, but she herself did not expect that the people and horses of the old department of Xiliang, who were very powerful in her eyes, were actually vulnerable in front of the Xianbei people. This frustrated her, and she returned to Guanzhong in hiding in the caravan, simply avoiding trouble in Guanzhong and not daring to show her face.

Even Han Jian didn't know that she would return to Luoyang and still appear in front of him alive.

As for Li Yun, during this year, she went to Xiliang as an assistant to Mrs. Luo, but Li Yun knew more about current affairs, and she fled before the Xianbei cavalry occupied Liangzhou. This made her feel faceless to come back to see Han Jian, if there were no soldiers and horses of the Wei Dynasty, Xiliang would have been completely occupied by the Xianbei people, and it was the kind of occupation that she would never want to recapture.

Han Jian glanced at Li Yun, who continued to kneel on the ground, and said, "What is the princess doing, didn't you hear what I said?" ”

Li Yun choked up a little and said: "The minister feels that he has no face to see His Majesty again, and he came here today to ask for sin, and His Majesty asks the minister to be sentenced to death!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground, as if he really wanted to die.

Han Jian knew very well that Li Yun's tricks were the same as Ning Yuan's, and when he came up, he asked for the guilt to make a repentant appearance, but in fact, he also took retreat as advance, wanting to continue to gain political convenience. In the past, there were various princes in the north and the Xianbei tribe of the grassland as foreign enemies, even if Han Jian gave Xiliang to them, they would not be able to govern it themselves, but now it is different, even if Han Jian follows the previous instructions and let Mrs. Luo continue to be the minister of Xiliang, their status after returning to Xiliang is not the same as before.

But the problem is that Han Jian used to think that he could use them and let them be the mouthpiece of the imperial court to contact, but now, it has come to the time when the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking, and Li Yun and Mrs. Luo have no merit in the battle with Xianbei, so how can they be rewarded?

Han Jian was a little impatient and said, "Get up!" Do you really want to die, and you still use it to see me? When I was far away in the north, I wanted to know that you could contribute to the foundation of the imperial court, so that I could be impressed by you, but in the end, I ...... Hmph, I'm still here to clean up the mess for you. You're really capable! ”

Although Li Yun was still kneeling on the ground, she had also stopped crying, and she had already felt the anger in Han Jian's heart. But Mrs. Luo looked indifferent, standing beside her as if nothing happened, Han Jian knew that she didn't care, but knew that there was no merit, Han Jian had appointed her as the prime minister of Xiliang to use her, but now she has no value in using it, and she took the initiative to ask to see Han Jian, in fact, she also wanted to get a verdict, which would also mean that her planning for more than ten years would come to an end.

Compared with Li Yun's heart desperately wanting to get power, Mrs. Luo's heart was more sad, she first defected to Han Jian to get some convenience, and at that time she didn't even dare to ask that the East Wangfu could finally help her restore the country. But now, Xiliang has been completely occupied by the Dongwang Mansion, as long as Han Jian's words, the land of Xiliang can even be given to her, but she doesn't have any luxury to get what she craves.

Who knew that Han Jian suddenly changed his words and said: "But I am not a person who does not remember kindness, you two stay in Luoyang, and after the New Year, I will make arrangements, and the stability of the Xiliang Land will still require you to contribute!" ”

Hearing Han Jian's words, Mrs. Luo's already dim eyes suddenly became a little eager again. (To be continued......)
