Han Jian said: "If the soldiers and horses can return to have enough grain and grass, it is unknown to dominate the world." However, at present, even if the army withdraws, the weight of grain and grass is still a top priority, and the expedition can be fed by the war, and when it returns to Luoyang, it can only rely on the imperial court to provide support. ”

Yang Rui was still thinking about what Han Jian said about returning to government, and when she heard this, she immediately felt the worry of being the commander of the three armies. There are no soldiers to transfer troops, there are soldiers to raise soldiers, she is the emperor, these things don't have to worry too much about her, as long as she gives an order, someone will help her complete it. But now there is no one in the court, even if the Eastern Prince's Mansion returns the military power, someone still has to be responsible for these things, and now it seems that there is only one candidate for Han Jian.

"When will the soldiers and horses arrive in Luoyang?" Yang Rui asked in a deep voice.

Han Jian stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "This road of soldiers and horses does not plan to retreat to Luoyang, but is going to let them go directly to Guanzhong, and they still don't need too much support from the imperial court." I wonder what your opinion is? ”

Yang Rui was a little annoyed at first when he heard it, since he transferred Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses back to Guannan, but instead of returning to Luoyang, he went to fight Guanzhong, didn't he change his hand and the military power was still not in her hands?

But after thinking about it again, Han Jian said, even if this road of soldiers and horses comes back, they can't afford to raise it, so it's better to continue to let them go to Guanzhong and complete the war with war, so how much expense can be saved for the imperial court? But this also means that it will be difficult for the imperial court to rein in the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and after Su Tingxia's tossing, even if it wins and pacifies Guanzhong in the end, it will be trampled on miserably. If Lin Zhan is a Confucian general, the soldiers under him are also strictly disciplined, and Su Tingxia is a bandit leader through and through, fighting by robbery, whoever grabs is whom.

"It seems like there's only going to be a deal for now." Yang Rui finally made a compromise, not that she didn't want to transfer the soldiers and horses back. Now she can't really make the decision, "Tomorrow's court meeting, can I not go?" ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly and said, "If Rui'er doesn't go, then how can you explain to the people of the world?" ”

Yang Rui thought about it for a while, and finally just nodded. It seems that he acquiesced in the fact that Han Jian was going to hold a court meeting. After she returned to Luoyang, although meeting with courtiers was almost routine, there had never been a large-scale court meeting, and some of the imperial palaces had been abandoned for a long time. This court meeting still announced her marriage date with Han Jian, but in fact, she was not ready to marry into the Dongwang Mansion.

Han Jian didn't stay in the palace for too long before he came out, and when he went outside, Gu Weipan still didn't leave. The two went out of the palace together, and Han Jian also asked Gu Weipan to convey the matter of the court meeting on the way, and asked Gu Weipan to convene the ministers. Gu Weipan was a little worried: "Luoyang is in danger right now. Should the matter be delayed? ”

Han Jian knew that Gu Weipan was talking about his marriage to Yang Rui.

"Mrs. Gu, if the marriage is not completed, then the people of the world will always be unjustified between the court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and many courtiers will treat me as a rebel. On the contrary, it would not be good to settle the matter earlier, and then His Majesty would preside over the government and have the prince to assist? ”

Gu Weipan thought for a while before nodding, although he was a loyal minister of the imperial court. But he could see that now was not the best time for Han Jian to return military power. Now that the chaos in the imperial court is very deep, Yang Rui no longer has much available manpower. Because the soldiers and horses of the Southern Wangfu are approaching Luoyang, even the matter of taking the imperial examination has to be delayed, and the Eastern Wangfu wants to return the military power at this time, who will Yang Rui send to take charge of the military power? And who will be sent to supervise the soldiers and horses? Now there are two generals under the account of the East Prince's Mansion who are leading the troops outside, one Lin Zhan and the other Su Tingxia. None of them can be controlled by the imperial court, if people's hearts are unstable, who will come out to deal with these people waiting for an opportunity to rebel against the imperial court?

Originally, Gu Weipan also wanted to persuade Han Jian to think about it more, it was easy to return the military power, if something went wrong in the imperial court. It will be difficult to regain military power. And Luoyang, which is still stable at the moment, may fall back into chaos because of Han Jian's return of military power. But if you think about it, he introduced the ministers of the court, and he spoke to persuade the courtiers to continue to support the army and respect themselves, which was naturally not his duty, so he didn't speak in the back, but just said goodbye to Han Jian with worries, and went to Shangshutai to arrange the meeting with the Japanese court.

Han Jian was about to announce his marriage to Yang Rui, and he had not discussed it with Han Song, so Han Song didn't know anything about it.

After Han Jian returned home in the evening, Han Song rushed out of the door to greet him, and actually questioned the matter. She had already learned about the upcoming meeting from the imperial court, and by the way, she heard what Han Jian said about returning the government to Yunyun, which she couldn't bear.

"If Erniang wants to be angry, let's do it another day. I'm not in a good mood these days, on the one hand, I have to be busy with military and political affairs, and I have to deal with the threat of Su Tingxia's troops and horses to Luoyang, if he really has a different heart, Luoyang is afraid that it will be difficult to hold! Han Jian said to Han Song with a tired face.

When Han Songshi learned that Su Tingxia was coming back, she naturally thought that this road of soldiers and horses was transferred back by Han Jian to guard Luoyang, but listening to Han Jian's words, Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses were not under his control at all, and she was also aware of how big the risk was. Su Tingxia is not only an alternative in the eyes of Yang Rui, but also an untrustworthy person in the eyes of Han Song, but Han Jian promoted him, and Su Tingxia's rise is entirely because of Su Tingxia's personal ability, Han Jian only played a role in fueling the flames on his enterprising road, who would have thought that Su Tingxia only brought more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the expedition, but when he turned around, he brought back more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he was a soldier general? If the north is mixed up by Su Tingxia, then the whole thing will be messed up.

"Then you still don't transfer General Lin's soldiers and horses back?" Han Song also forgot to ask about Han Jian's marriage to Yang Rui and the return of the military and government, and said directly.

Han Jian shook his head helplessly, if there was no Lin Zhan in the north to defend it, it would be equivalent to saying that the territory he had just taken back from Xianbei and the Northern Wangfu would fall into another family, how could he not use the soldiers and horses of Lin Zhan's department, and the soldiers and horses of Lin Zhan's department were not as large as Su Tingxia, and he would have to rely on Lin Zhan to guard the north and resist the Xianbei people. Now that the North Prince's Mansion no longer exists, the heavy responsibility of guarding the North Pass naturally falls on the East Prince's Mansion.

……

……

On the morning of the second day, Han Jian got up very early to prepare for the court.

He was already familiar with the way into the palace, but he had never met Yang Rui as a courtier, and he only had one chance to go to the palace, but he was still pulled by Yang Rui to question about the case. I think about it when he first came to Luoyang three years ago.

It is also rare for Han Jian to wear his dress as the king of the east, because he is used to being casual on weekdays, and even if he occasionally wears a military uniform, he will not touch those heavy and flashy court clothes. Han Jian was very unaccustomed to wearing it on his body. When he came out, the whole family was there, including Lin Xiaoshu, who had just entered the inner house, but there were many people protecting him in front of and behind the main hall, and it should be that Han Song's family was guarding against Master Zuo Gu and Ke Qu'er's master and apprentice who lived in the mansion.

"Jian'er, the meaning of your entry into the palace this time is different. 'M afraid...... Will you be in danger, do you want to be accompanied? Han Song's face was worried.

In the past, Han Jian has been remembered by many people, and the people in the court have long wanted to get rid of Han Jian, and this time Han Jian first convened the ministers to convene a court meeting, although it was to announce the marriage date with Yang Rui and return to the government, but this is also the best time to get rid of Han Jian. Because from today onwards, the guards of the palace will also change personnel, and the only remaining team of the imperial court in Luoyang, which is also the part of the new army that Su Tingxia brought to the north to complete the defense of the palace. When Han Jian enters the palace again, he will no longer be able to swagger and follow his own back garden as before.

"Erniang, don't worry, I understand these things. I am not alone in the palace today, and there are many staff members and officials of the Dongwang Mansion, so there will be no problems. Han Jian pressed his hand on Han Song's shoulder and said.

Han Songshi nodded, and the family sat down to have breakfast, but there was a feeling of seeing off Han Jian.

The breakfast didn't last long, and according to the palace etiquette, the palace had already sent someone to send a message to let Han Jian enter the palace. Although the initiator of the court meeting was Han Jian, it was in the name of Yang Rui. Since Yang Rui agreed, he had to follow the rules of the previous court meeting. Although Han Jian was in charge of the country, Yang Rui was only a verbal appointment and had never been officially canonized, and Han Jian, as the king of the foreign domain, could not participate in the court without the emperor's summons, which involved the issue of great gifts.

Han Jian personally met with the eunuch who came to deliver the message. In fact, he was also visiting the Son of Heaven, but this was not the last time he came to visit the emperor's envoys as a courtier. Even if he marries Yang Rui, Yang Rui is still a king, he is still a minister, and his status will not change.

I have seen the messenger of the Son of Heaven. Han Jian cleaned up his mood, went out to the door, and saw that the officials and generals who had already come to the Dongwang Mansion to accompany them into the palace were not many, and there were twenty or thirty people, and these were also the number one people in the Dongwang Mansion in Luoyang.

Han Jian did not ride a horse or sit in a sedan chair, but walked in the direction of the palace gate with the officials and staff of the Eastern Royal Mansion behind him. At the south gate of the palace, the civil and military officials who came to participate in the court deliberations at the behest of the Son of Heaven also arrived, waiting for Yang Rui's summons. Although the palace gate is open, everyone can't take a step beyond Lei Chi, the palace gate has not yet changed guards, but from what Han Jian knew before, the guards who participated in the change of defense today are also being prepared. From the moment he leaves the palace, the palace will change its guard from the main gate, and within two days, all the soldiers originally stationed in the East Palace's palace to guard the palace will be withdrawn and replaced by the people of the imperial court system. Although these people lack the proper training, they are also the children of the surrounding Luoyang, and they have always been concerned about the imperial court. And the training of soldiers and horses on this road has not passed through the hands of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and it can be said that it was completely trained by the officials and generals of the imperial court faction.

As soon as the hour arrived, a eunuch came out in the palace to spread the word, first summoning Han Jian into the palace, but not all the people in the Eastern Palace, but only Han Jian alone.

Han Jian didn't know what the hell Yang Rui was doing, but now that the palace was still under the control of the East Palace, even if he entered the palace alone, there would be no danger.

Under the eyes of the generals, Han Jian entered the palace alone, but was told that Yang Rui was not in the Ye'an Pavilion, but in the Wenying Palace. After all, the palace is very large, although Han Jian is familiar with the environment in the palace, it is limited to more than half of the area, and there are many palaces that he has never set foot in at all, although he has seen the drawings of the palace and knows the general location of all the palaces, but after all, the drawings are dead, and they are not three-dimensional palace drawings, and he does not know what it looks like.

There are many corridors in the palace, and after passing the gate of the main hall, there is a corridor leading to the inside, Han Jian recognized that one side is going to Ye'an Pavilion, and the other side is leading to the Wenwu Palace. But on the road directly to the north, Han Jian probably remembered the direction of the palace hall, and he couldn't tell how many forks there were.

"Your Highness, please come with the villain." The little eunuch trembled, as if he was afraid that Han Jian would get angry and punish them.

Yang Rui only sent a little eunuch out to pass the word, and there were originally a few palace maids, but after passing the gate of the main hall, the palace maids did not dare to venture in casually, because it had already involved the forbidden area of the palace.

Han Jian didn't know why, so he crossed the corridor with the little eunuch, turned a few corners, but saw a forest, but it was not the imperial garden of the palace. There were no pavilions in the bushes, but it seemed to be a temple, after all, Han Jian had also been to the Zongmiao of the Imperial Palace, and knew that this was not the road to the Zongmiao.

Yang Ruili seemed to be looking up at something in the woods, different from Han Jian's court clothes, Yang Rui was wearing a very light costume, probably because her stomach had stood up, and the original clothes couldn't be worn, and she temporarily learned from Han Jian that there was going to be a court meeting today, and she couldn't hurry up to ask the tailor in the palace to make it. I just came out in maternity clothes that I had prepared a long time ago. It's just that her outfit looks too plain, and there is no similar piping on her body, but even the clothes of ordinary noble women are not as good.

"Coming?" Yang Rui was still looking up at the sky, and when he heard footsteps, he turned his head, but he just said lightly.

Han Jian stepped forward, and there was no one else serving Yang Rui, but there was only one person standing, who was Yang Rui's personal palace maid Hui'er. In the entire palace, only Hui'er can be regarded as Yang Rui's henchman.

Seeing Han Jian step forward, even the little eunuch who led the way hurriedly retreated, and Hui'er took a few steps back to the outside of the forest, not wanting to disturb Han Jian and Yang Rui talking.

"Why don't you come here if you don't go to the main hall?" Han Jian asked with some surprise.

Yang Rui stroked his bulging abdomen with both hands, and sighed softly: "There are some things that I don't want to do to you, and at the moment, it's not good not to say it." I asked you to come here today to let you see someone. ”

"Who?" Han Jian became cautious.

If you want to talk about the people in the palace, he may know better than Yang Rui. Han Jian was also afraid that someone in the palace would be unfavorable to him or Yang Rui, Han Jian was very strict with internal scrutiny, after all, there was Yang Yu's escape from the north, and there was also a baptism in the palace, and the rest of the people basically had no big problems.

Han Jianzheng was surprised, and he also heard the sound of subtle footsteps coming from behind the forest, and saw a person in a eunuch suit, hunched over, with his hands in front of him as if he was very respectful, and slowly came with a muslin cloth. When he got closer, Han Jian's brows couldn't help frowning.

The great eunuch Lu Shaokun, who had already died, actually reappeared in front of him alive like this. (To be continued......)
