Chapter 809: Monarch and Minister's Position

When he was with Ning Xiuyan, Han Jian tried not to think about anything else, so as not to make Ning Xiuyan feel that he was absent-minded. Ning Xiuyan is gentle and virtuous enough, sometimes she doesn't say it clearly when she sees it, but hides it in her heart, the more this is the case, the more Han Jian feels that she can't see through her heart, but it is easy to think about it.

When night fell, Han Jian left the courtyard, but when he was about to return to the Dongwang Mansion, he remembered to ask Da Xiliu to invite Mrs. Luo, and he couldn't go over now, so he had to let people go over and inform Da Xiliu to escort Mrs. Luo to the place where she was settled, and this meeting would also be postponed. The day after Han Jian returned as the new emperor, the mansion set up a banquet for his return, but it did not invite outsiders, but a banquet for his own people in the mansion.

Because Han Song's family was grounded, the affairs of the house were all managed by Yang Li'er, Yang Li'er didn't like to do scene kung fu very much, she would rather let everyone settle down and live a peaceful life, but she still couldn't screw the urging and instigation of Han Xu and others, so she had to feast the people in the house with a simple banquet, and at the same time, it was also for Han Jian to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

"Xianggong doesn't like it?" Yang Li'er's face was very solemn when she saw Han Jian coming back, and she couldn't help but think that it might be that Han Jian didn't like it, and she was a little annoyed, and she didn't like to do such a scene thing.

Han Jian reluctantly smiled and said, "It's just that you're too tired, you don't need to worry about it." I'll have to go into the palace when I come back. ”

Yang Li'er showed a little bit of her youngest daughter's look and said: "Xianggong wants to accompany his sister and come back, so that the concubine feels that Xianggong doesn't like it...... Alas! Don't think too much about it. ”

Yang Li'er is not a woman who likes to be coquettish, she couldn't adapt to it just after saying a little shy and resentful, and began to apologize to Han Jian again. Han Jian finally smiled, he went to the palace to accompany him, and Yang Rui didn't necessarily appreciate it, but the women in the family were obedient to him. But no matter how Han Jian wants to comfort Yang Rui's injured heart. He knew he was going to touch the nail anyway.

He didn't stay at home for a long time, but he still ate a meal, and although Han Jian had already used it in Ning Xiuyan, he still barely ate some. When it was almost the second watch, the women from each courtyard returned to the room one after another, while Han Jian stayed behind to explain to Yang Li'er. I went to the palace overnight. Han Jian was not ready to discuss too much with Yang Rui, he decided to transport the belongings in the palace to the palace first, since he ascended the throne as the emperor, some things must be implemented as soon as possible, and it was time for him to move his family to the palace, always staying in the Dongwang Mansion, and even he himself could not tell who was the emperor of the Wei Dynasty.

Han Jian rode on the way to the palace, the weather in Luoyang was very cold at night, and there were no people on the street for only two hours at night. In the past, even in the cold winter, there were many streets in Luoyang City to be lively until the second half of the night, but now after all, it is not the usual peaceful year, the shops on the street have closed one after another without dark, and there are no pedestrians on the road except for a few husbands.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, as soon as Han Jian dismounted, he saw a person standing in front of the palace gate, as if he was deliberately waiting for him. Han Jian stepped forward and saw clearly that it was Ning Yuan, as the first assistant of the first dynasty. Ning Yuan didn't have the posture of the head of the civil official, perhaps because he was frozen for half a night in the cold wind. Seeing Han Jian's body, he was still a little trembling.

Han Jian said: "If Taishi Ning has something, why don't you go to the East Palace, you have to stay here and wait, or wait until you understand that you are coming to play?" ”

Ning Yuan trembled and said, "The old minister doesn't dare to disturb the East Palace, the old minister ...... I just want to wait for Your Majesty's arrival here in the palace, if Your Majesty doesn't come, the old minister won't return! ”

It's playing the favor card. Ning Yuan was also a scheming person, knowing that Han Jian still recognized his ability, but he had prejudices about his way of doing things and loyalty, so he simply chose this way to show his loyalty. There was another reason why he didn't go to the Dongwang Mansion, he joined forces with Han Song to purge the old officialdom in Luoyang. Han Jian was worried about this, and if he still went to the East Palace, it would inevitably make Han Jian think more.

"Talk inside!"

Han Jian said casually and entered the palace gate first. Along the way, Ning Yuan followed Han Jian, Han Jian didn't dare to talk without asking, until Ye'an Pavilion didn't have two little eunuchs come to take charge of the lamp, Han Jian pushed open the door of Ye'an Pavilion and entered, but Ning Yuan stood at the door and didn't dare to move. Han Jian said: "Come in!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ning Yuan followed in.

Inside, before Han Jian could sit down, Ning Yuan had already knelt down and saluted again, so disrespectful. Han Jian said: "I don't need you to do the work on these scenes, and you don't need to do it, you can just explain your intentions in the future, I don't have much time to say more to you." ”

Ning Yuan didn't expect Han Jian to be so unkind, this was tantamount to the emperor issuing an order to expel guests, how could he, as a courtier, not even have this kind of awareness? In fact, when he came to wait for Han Jian at the gate of the palace, he expected that Han Jian's purpose in entering the palace was to accompany Yang Rui, and he didn't know about the cold war between Han Jian and Yang Rui, but he knew that his arrival would definitely destroy Han Jian's "good thing", which was tantamount to being boring. Ning Yuan hurriedly got up, took out the notebook in his arms, and stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister feels that he is old and frail, and he can no longer take care of the major affairs of the court, and the old minister is here to resign from His Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he handed over his resignation, and the little eunuch next to him took it and handed it to Han Jian. Han Jian sat in the original seat of Yang Rui, took it and took a look, sure enough, it was Ning Yuan's resignation, although Ning Yuan said that he was here to resign, but in the resignation, it was a completely different tone, as if he was not doing anything else, and did many things that Han Jian, the new emperor, did not like. Han Jianxin said that Ning Yuan was still a little self-aware, but the resignation in front of him was completely based on retreat, and he wanted to keep him, the emperor, because there was still no one in the court who could replace Ning Yuan as the first assistant of the dynasty.

"Master Ning, why bother?" Han Jian's tone was not retained, in fact, Han Jian also had a plan to go by, Han Jian had a plan to directly remove Ning Yuan, in Han Jian's opinion, it was not impossible, and the officials of the Ning Yuan faction would also be replaced, and they would be replaced by officials from the Dongwangfu faction. Although it has always been a practice for a son of heaven and a courtier, but until now, Han Jian has not even changed the name of the country and the name of the year, and what is taken is to make a smooth transition.

Ning Yuan was simply pouring bitter water, and said all the grievances he had suffered in the past two years, and Han Jian didn't interrupt him, listening to him talk about Gu Weipan and Lin Ke. Speaking of being wronged by Han Jian, in fact, the purging of the officials of the old dynasty was completely done by Han Song's fake edict of the Son of Heaven, and it had little to do with him. After he finished speaking, Han Jian realized that this old horseman's language organization ability was very average, and some things had no language logic at all, but he thought of Ning Yuan's decisiveness in doing things in the past few years. This was simply deliberately shown by Ning Yuan.

Han Jian got up and said, "Master Ning, I want you to know who Shu is going to lead this Chinese martial arts, not because of his will. Even if Taishi Ning is not satisfied, he should know that there is no one who can replace you when the court is up. If you continue to talk about it, I will feel that you are trying to coerce me so that I will not be able to come down! ”

Ning Yuan didn't expect Han Jian to say it so directly, he rushed in and knelt down to plead guilty. Han Jian said: "Master Ning, go back." As long as you do your best, I will never treat me badly, but if you want to continue to deceive me...... I'm afraid that even if you don't resign yourself, I will dismiss you. ”

Ning Yuan still knelt on the ground to apologize, but he was already a little incoherent. Han Jian said again: "You get up, I am ready to issue an edict tomorrow and make Lingyuan a noble concubine, and you will be regarded as the ruler of the country from now on." In the future, I will give you enough face in the court. You hope that Taishi Ning will not lose face! ”

After speaking, Han Jian walked to the door. Ning Yuan continued to kneel, and neither did he get up and follow Han Jian away. Han Jian sealed Ning Xiuyan as a concubine was something he didn't expect, and Han Jian's current favor was not entirely good for him, which showed that Han Jian's use of him might be coming to an end, but let Ning Xiuyan be a concubine, at least name him as the country's abbot. It also proves that even if Han Jian will stop his phase in the future, he will leave a few thin noodles and will not attack the Ning family, and the Ning family can still be preserved. At this point, Ning Yuan knew that it was Han Jian who gave him special preferential treatment, and he also gave him a reassuring pill to eat.

"Get up. Go out of the palace! Han Jian said, "If Taishi Ning insists on resigning tomorrow, he can just propose it at the court meeting." If not, the Taishi Ning I hope to see tomorrow will still be the Minister of Lingshang Shutai who can do things for me, and can be a model for hundreds of officials! ”

"Yes, yes." Ning Yuan didn't say anything more, got up and followed Han Jian out of the hospital, and then walked alone in the direction of the palace gate.

Han Jian was also considering Ning Yuan's intentions on the way into the inner garden of the palace, with Ning Yuan's old adult should know the current situation in Luoyang, although he is the first assistant minister is high and powerful, but because the current imperial court is a military and political state, everything is based on the military, and he, the first assistant, is actually dispensable, Ning Yuan has no reason to think that he can resign in exchange for political interests. If Ning Yuan took a risk, he would continue to be suspicious, and he would be eliminated along with the faction behind him when Han Jian didn't need to use him, and Ning Yuan's resignation from the palace made Han Jian feel a little strange.

Just thinking about things, Han Jianren had already arrived in the inner garden of the palace, and at this time, after two days of recruitment, many palace people came back, but not all of the palace people who left the palace could come back, and some were not ready to return to the dark palace courtyard at all. But even in the middle of the night, there were still a lot of palace maids and little eunuchs walking around inside and outside Yang Rui's dormitory, and they were taking care of Yang Rui as a former emperor, Yang Rui did not move to the palace prepared for her by Han Jian after all, but continued to stay in the original dormitory.

Han Jian entered inside, and Hui'er was sitting on a small bench on the ground grinding medicine, and she didn't even notice Han Jian entering the door. Han Jian squatted down and looked at the medicinal herbs, Hui'er was startled, and rushed in to kneel and salute. Han Jian signaled that she didn't need to be polite, and it was not unusual to see the medicinal materials, so he couldn't help asking, "It's not someone else, why do you need to do it yourself?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty...... Slaves...... The slave didn't know...... "Hui'er's whole person is unnatural, she seems to be a little aggrieved and helpless, but more of a mouthful."

Han Jian knew that Yang Rui was making a fool of himself again, maybe he felt that Hui'er's existence was hindering her, or Yang Rui already had some signs of menopause, but he couldn't even look at Hui'er, who was closest to him, and obviously recalled so many palace maids and little eunuchs for her, and she still had to let Hui'er do this kind of thing, or in the middle of the night.

Han Jian grabbed Hui'er's wrist and saw her pull her up, and then asked the little eunuch next to him to come over and take over Hui'er's work. Waiting for Han Jian to pull Hui'er inside, Yang Rui, who was sitting in front of the cradle and continued to take care of his daughter, couldn't help but turn his head sideways, showing a slight sneer on his face, as if to say, you can protect her for a while, can you protect her for a lifetime?

Han Jian let go of his hand, and Hui'er naturally stood aside. Han Jian stepped forward, and even the two little palace maids serving next to him were very interested in withdrawing, Han Jian said, "What do you want?" ”

Yang Rui said: "You are the emperor, the concubine is just your concubine, it should be what the concubine wants to do for Your Majesty." ”

Han Jian was a little annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't show his temper in front of Yang Rui. Although the two often had quarrels before, Yang Rui didn't give him much of a good face even when he was the emperor, but Han Jian seems to have gotten used to this kind of stumbling husband and wife life, this seems to be the same as in a previous life, although the husband and wife are harmonious, there are still some quarrels, Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er and other daughters are obedient to him, but he doesn't feel the shadow of an ordinary husband and wife.

But sometimes Yang Rui was completely angry with him, knowing that Han Song's purge of the officials of the old faction in the DPRK and China was not his instruction, and when the situation in Luoyang was chaotic, Yang Rui also knew that he communicated to Han Jian through secret channels to let Han Jian know, which was tantamount to asking Han Jian for help, even if Han Jian immediately sent Fa Yi back to preside over the overall situation and quell Han Song's purge, Yang Rui still did not forgive him.

Han Jian said: "You said that you are a concubine, so do you have a concubine's respect for the emperor now?" In the middle of the night, even the palace courtyard is not peaceful, but you want the people who are full of the palace to stay awake with you? ”

Yang Rui heard Han Jian's rebuke, she was still very strong, she sneered: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, once when the concubine was Your Majesty, did you have the respect you should have for the concubine?" ”

Han Jianden felt a little speechless, Yang Rui was returning the favor with the other, thinking that in the past two years, although the two were husband and wife, they had constant quarrels and cold wars, and even the two of them ignored each other more than when they were harmonious. This also reflects that the husband and wife were enemies in their previous lives, and they came back to seek revenge against each other.

Seeing that Han Jian was silent, Yang Rui seemed to have the upper hand, and continued: "Have you ever been concerned about your daughter's illness? What if the concubine asked Hui'er to research medicine? She was the one who replaced the concubine as a wife when the concubine was about to give birth, and she still had to be the master of this palace, but let the concubine's mother and daughter live on the streets? ”

Han Jian didn't say anything, but Hui'er next to him rushed in in and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to plead guilty, the most innocent person from beginning to end, but became Yang Rui's punching bag. (To be continued......)
