The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, Han Jian stood on the tower of Luoyang City, looking at the bells and drums below, as well as the stable and peaceful life of the people in the city, and he felt a little sad.

The Central Plains has been peaceful for a long time, and even the Wei Dynasty has not experienced much war and chaos between these generations, but now it is constantly bloody and bloody. Maybe in the near future, Luoyang will still fall into the flames of war, and even disappear because of a war.

"Young boy, it's time to go back. The envoys of the Northern Palace's peace have arrived at the Ministry of Rites and can be seen at any time. The guard said respectfully after Han Fitness.

"Hmm."

Han Jian didn't stand on the city tower for too long, and now that he chose to negotiate peace, he gave up the opportunity to pacify the Northern Palace. Yang Rui will complain about him, and maybe the people of the world will hate him in the future, but Li Shishi in this era will not blame him. Because he is thinking about the well-being of the entire Central Plains people.

Back at the yamen of the military station, many officials from the Ministry of Rites had already come in advance. Before meeting with the envoys of the Northern Palace, people from the Imperial Court Rites Department came over to ask Han Jian for advice. Yang Rui had already ordered that all the peace matters should be handed over to Han Jian to deal with, and Han Jian could be fully responsible.

"His Royal Highness the East King, this is the agenda, please take a look."

The official of the Ministry of Rites submitted the copy of the peace proposal, and Han Jian only looked at it roughly, and there was a lot of content listed on it. However, most of them were made to the Northern Palace. The people in the imperial court know how to see the wind and steer the rudder, and the peace made under the circumstances of the enemy before and after the Northern Palace's palace is also regarded as an alliance under the city, and it seems unreasonable not to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Han Jian didn't know who gave these people the confidence, and before the imperial court had any explanation, he arbitrarily listed the conditions for peace. Han Jian thought, either it was instructed by Yang Rui or Lin Ke. Among the conditions, there are many conditions that are unacceptable to the Northern Palace. For example, King Xiaobei wants to come to Luoyang to "worship", these are just "talk on paper", which is simply nonsense. With Yang Rui's insight and talent, he would not have put forward such a stupid peace condition.

"Take it down, this king won't look at it." Han Jian handed the agenda copy back to the officials of the Ministry of Rites and said, "Envoy of the Northern Palace." Unlike the envoys of the Southern Dynasties, many things should not be rushed. However, the war in the north is still imminent, so it has to be faster. Send someone to inform which side of the post house has passed, and after noon, the king will personally go to the Ministry of Rites, and the matter of peace will also be presided over by the king himself. ”

After Han Jian said this, the people in the Ministry of Rites were a little embarrassed. Originally, they thought that as long as Han Jian didn't interfere, they would leave the matter of opening up the conditions to them. Take advantage of this opportunity to not let the Northern Wangfu collapse from now on?

But Han Jian knew that the Beiwang Mansion still had a foundation, but he just arranged the strategy as defense, which meant to show weakness, not because it looked so vulnerable on the outside. After all, there are many elite soldiers and fierce generals under the command of the North Wangfu, and there are many years of grain and grass reserves, which are more abundant than the East Wangfu, and the soldiers are used for a thousand days. The Beiwangfu has been accumulating troops for a long time, and it is a battle with Xianbei. Although it was a hasty response, it was not unprepared. In this situation, the Luoyang Imperial Court has issued some more untimely conditions, which will only make the Northern Wangfu more determined to fight on both sides. Beichuan is occupied by the Xianbei people, and it has no benefit to the imperial court at all.

Just as Han Jian was about to return to the Dongwang Mansion to prepare for a noon peace, at this time, a little eunuch in the palace came to pass the word. Invite Han Jian into the palace.

"Youlao, the father-in-law, went back to His Majesty, and the king could not leave immediately, and he might have to deal with some military affairs a little. There is Lao Tong Chuan. ”

Originally, the emperor summoned Han Jian, as a courtier, had to rush to the palace non-stop. But now Han Jian is different, he is a prisoner. There is a "proper" reason to refuse, and he naturally has to prepare for it before entering the palace.

Yang Rui didn't know his situation, and he didn't want to give up the great opportunity to negotiate peace with the Northern Prince's Mansion, but there are some things that can not be arbitrarily done. A war in the Central Plains will also have a long-term impact on a thriving civilization. The mentality of being rich and safe is unacceptable.

Han Jian roughly arranged the military affairs, mainly the defense around Luoyang. This time, Su Tingxia brought soldiers and horses to the north, and when he went, there were only more than 10,000 but less than 20,000 people, and when he came back, plus those people who accompanied the army, it might exceed 100,000. With such a large team, how to feed it after arriving in Luoyang is also a problem. Han Jian simply didn't want Su Tingxia to come back so easily, so it was better to keep him in the north and continue to be responsible for leading the troops, but this time the target was not Beichuan City, Beiwang Mansion, but Xianbei people.

But in terms of results, it's still the same. Even to pacify the Northern Palace, but also to drive away the invasion of the Xianbei people. This is a big test for Su Tingxia.

When he arrived at the palace, Han Jian went directly to Ye'an Pavilion. Yang Rui sat behind the desk, and the whole person didn't look very good, and he was a little atrophied.

In the past few days, Han Jian has been busy arranging peace negotiations, alienating her and making her a little bored.

"Why did the East King come so late? But the people I sent didn't get the word on? Yang Rui looked at Han Jian coldly, as if he was a little resentful, but in fact, he was also having a woman's unique temper.

Han Jian knew that it was not a matter of being reasonable or unreasonable at this time, Yang Rui, as an emperor, had the right to question him like this. But as his woman, it was a bit too much to talk like that.

"Back to His Majesty, the ministers made proper arrangements for military affairs, and only came to see His Majesty, not intentionally delaying." Han Jian said respectfully.

"That's it." Yang Rui glanced at the door and said to the little eunuch standing at the door, "Go out." Close the door, I don't want anyone to disturb me. ”

The little eunuch took the order to go out and closed the door, Yang Rui got up, but he just sighed and sat down again. Glancing at Han Jian complainingly, Yang Rui said, "Don't send someone to inform your husband, but your husband has forgotten about his concubine?" ”

"Don't dare." Han Jian's expression was still very solemn.

"Your second mother has come to the palace again, and this time she agrees to you marrying your master. However, there are also words in advance, you can't make a big deal of it, you have to follow the rules and regulations, although your master is your elder, but when you enter the door of the East Palace, you are a concubine after all. Concubines are not allowed to enter the palace through the main entrance, which is also a rule. You have to understand that your second mother didn't mean to embarrass you. Yang Rui said.

Han Jian sensed that Yang Rui was deliberately avoiding the matter of this peace talks. Because in Yang Rui's heart, she never accepted the peace talks, and she felt that if she was hungry, she should use force to completely solve the trouble of the Beiwang Mansion, not to the negotiation table.

Speaking of Fa Yi, Yang Rui also looked a little helpless. Although the things that Han Song asked her to play were reasonable, there was one biggest problem, and that was her Yang Rui's identity in the East Palace. Between her and Han Jian, after all, they can't be so nameless forever. But just like Fa Yi, she will enter the gate of the East Wangfu in the future, and I am afraid that she will not be able to use the identity of the main room.

Although she also knew that she could use her imperial authority to change this qiē, she also knew that this kind of authority would usually take things to extremes. What the monarch's power cannot change is the social law that has been formed over thousands of years.

"I have to worry about the matter with my master." Han Jian said.

"When you say this kind of thing, it seems that you still have a thorn in your heart. But it's nothing, your master is indifferent, he doesn't care about anything, and he can't walk with a freak like you, which feels a little unbelievable. Yang Rui said, but asked again, "When are you going to marry your master?" ”

"As much as possible. Late will change, and I don't want things to drag on. Han Jian said, "There is also the time given by His Majesty to get married." ”

When the emperor gives marriage, he always has to explain the time, place and person, needless to say, the time is actually set by Yang Rui. Yang Rui, as a "matchmaker", seems to be Fa Yi's maiden family, although her maiden family is in name only, because she herself is also trapped in it.

"Let's be on the second day of next month. There are still seven or eight days, enough for you to prepare. Yang Rui said calmly, "But you also have to be considerate of your master's feelings, maybe she will encounter some pressure recently, you have to accompany her more." ”

"Hmm."

Han Jian nodded, feeling that Yang Rui seemed to be very caring, but at the same time, he was also suspicious of Yang Rui's intentions. Would Yang Rui really mind telling him this without feeling jealous?

"But if you have time, you will also enter the palace to accompany me." Yang Rui finally added.

Han Jian smiled faintly and nodded in response.

Yang Rui seemed to be very happy, and then he got down to business, that is, some details of the peace with the Beiwang Mansion.

“…… I didn't agree to make peace with the Northern Palace. But you insisted, and I knew that you were not for your own selfish gain, so I agreed to you. But there are some things that I have said beforehand, no matter when, you can't betray the Wei Dynasty clan, which can be regarded as my explanation to my ancestors and ancestors. ”

Yang Rui said very seriously.

Han Jian knew the contradictions and entanglements in Yang Rui's heart. Yang Rui has now become his woman, but in terms of identity, she is also the ruler of the Yang royal family. What Yang Rui is most afraid of is actually his usurpation, which will make Yang Rui very conflicted. On the one hand, he is his husband, and on the other hand, he is his own family, and the girl is outgoing, but in this matter, he still prefers the Yang clan more. She didn't want to be a sinner of the Yang family.

"Your Majesty is too worried." Han Jian said, "The minister just wants to save the Central Plains from the suffering of war, and he puts the interests of the people first. ”

"I don't feel sour when I say these righteous words, okay, it's good to know that you are sincere." Yang Rui said, "Several of the envoys from the Beiwang Mansion this time are people who used to be officials in Luoyang, do you know all these people?" ”

Han Jian shook his head.

"It's okay if you don't know each other, I'll introduce you to someone today, and let her talk about it for you. Don't worry too much, after all, she knows a little bit about the people and things in the court, so don't think anything crooked. ”

"Who?" Han Jian frowned and asked.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Just wait and see." ”

After less than a cup of tea, the little eunuch shouted outside the door to see him, meaning that someone had been summoned.

Waiting for people to come in, Han Jian paused his eyes slightly, it was actually Yang Xiuxiu, the county lord of Anping. (To be continued......)
