Han Jian went out at dusk, and his travel seemed very low-key, dressed in civilian clothes, and even the attendants came out in batches, and he walked through the back door, as if he deliberately did not let people know his whereabouts. But in fact, his whereabouts can't hide the eyeliner that is ambushed outside the Dongwang Mansion.

When Han Jian learned that there was really eyeliner outside the Dongwang Mansion, he knew some things in his heart.

It is not clear which faction is staring at him. There are also several factions in the court, and party strife is unavoidable in all dynasties, and the court without party strife is not a thriving, but a stalemate. In fact, party struggle is also a link to balance the interests of the imperial court. Since there is party strife, there are groups of people with different minds who seek things for different positions.

Among the parties, there are those who are interested in the imperial court, and those who are not oriented to the imperial court. People are jealous of people such as the Northern King Party, the West King Party, and then the South King Party, but he, the East King, has no party and no faction, which is unpredictable. However, he, the king of the East, was involved in Feng Qing's case.

Feng Qing's beating was an incident in which the balance in the court was broken, and in Han Jian's view, it was also a prelude to a political incident. Before some political turmoil was about to take place in the imperial court, the guard post responsible for the most important part of the capital's defense was the absolutely vital yamen. Anyone in the court can be the murderer behind the scenes, and the empress is no exception, although nominally Feng Qing is a figure of the royalist faction.

The purpose of others to commit murder may be to remove an assistant from the empress's side, and the empress will do it, the situation may be much more complicated, but in the end, it is also related to Feng Qing's position, and taking Feng Qing under the knife is not aimed at his person, but his position.

On the way to Qingxu Yashe, Han Jian was thinking about this question. Anyway, now that the clouds and mist have not been lifted, he must know how to get out of the matter, which makes people think that he wants to protect himself, but he has actually stood in the position of the empress from the beginning. It's not that he believes in politics, it's because he knows that if he wants to settle down, he must learn to stand in line, and he, the king of the east, is now fledgling, and it's too late for others to pull him off the horse, and no one will help him. But only the empress, in order to balance the interests of the court, will support him, but he also knows that he can't make his family dominant, and then there will be irreconcilable contradictions between him and the empress.

When he arrived at Qingxu Yashe, Yang Xi sat there listlessly and looked at the account books, in fact, according to his own words, he couldn't read those account books at all. If he couldn't understand it, Han Jian could feel that Yang Xi's curiosity was very strong, and he also wanted to figure out Guò's efforts to help his sister share his worries, Han Jian thought, if Yang Xi was so open, it would be better to go directly to Qi Dynasty as his hostage, but this was not in Han Jian's interests, because he would be alone in the capital at that time. Han Jian needed someone around him who could talk to the empress, and at the same time make others think that he was with Yang Xi, although he himself might not see it that way.

"Brother Han, why are you here? I've been waiting here for a long time, didn't I say go to Yuhualou? It's very lively over there today, and I specially asked people to go over and ask, and even the Tingwei Mansion sent someone over today, saying that they were afraid that something like the last time would happen again. Yang Xi saw Han Jian coming, got up and greeted him.

Yuhualou did not suspend business for rectification because of the last kidnapping case, but still came to solicit guests in such a high-profile manner, which shows that Li Wei, the waiter of the criminal department, is a tough backstage. Li Wei can easily get out of the fraud case and the kidnapping case in two cases related to him, Han Jian also felt that this person is not simple, on the one hand, he is the king of the north, and on the other hand, he is the three princes of the upstarts, and he can be a two-faced person and not offend on both sides, there is only one possibility, that is, the party of the north king has the intention of winning over the third prince Yang Yu.

Even if the North King wants to plot the throne, it is impossible for the time being to come out to grab it, he must first support a puppet, Yang Xi Xiaohua is the best candidate, but unfortunately Yang Xi and Han Jian are too close, and the North King and the East King have never had any contact, and the North King does not want to win over Han Jian. Moreover, Yang Xi himself does not have a wide range of contacts, and if the king of the north wants to send someone to win over Yang Xi, it will be easy to expose his intentions and make the people in the court alert, but Yang Yu is older, and there are still many people in the court who scold him, so that Li Wei and Yang Yu are close, and no one will suspect that Li Wei actually has another purpose.

"You also brought an entourage with you today?" Han Jian sat down and asked Yang Xi.

"Hmm." Yang Xi nodded and said, "My sister knew that I was coming out, so I asked me to bring some guards, saying that I was afraid of danger." Originally, I didn't allow it, but my sister insisted, so I agreed, like Brother Han, you have to let my sister rest assured. ”

Han Jian smiled, the empress seemed to deliberately let Yang Xi get closer to him, and even Yang Xi didn't stop him from going out to visit the brothel at night, the empress's thoughts were really hard to guess. In the end, whether the empress values Yang Xi, or just out of love for her younger brother, Han Jian is not easy to guess and doesn't want to guess.

"Where's Huang Gongzi?" Han Jian asked casually.

"I haven't seen anyone else, did he say it? He should be very familiar with the bustard girl in Yuhualou, and it is indeed more convenient for him to go. Yang Xi said, and suddenly said with some embarrassment, "Brother Han, my sister mentioned the family matter to me today, saying that she was going to choose a favorite person for me among the official ladies in Luoyang......

Han Jian smiled and said, "This is a good thing. ”

"Yes...... But I'm still too young, I don't want to get married, but my sister is very insistent, I ...... I couldn't say no. Originally, I wanted Brother Han to tell your sister about it, I ...... It's not easy to speak...... "Yang Xi was a little embarrassed.

Han Jian looked at Yang Xi in front of him, he really didn't look like a man who could start a family, he was more like a big boy, and he spoke very childishly. Yang Xi was going to get married, and Han Jian wouldn't have thought much about it, but it happened that the prince was about to be established, and the prince was sending such a critical moment, so Han Jian couldn't pay more attention.

Han Jian thought to himself: "Could it be that the empress is preparing to make Yang Xi the crown prince and send him as an envoy to Southern Qi, and she is afraid that he will not be able to return if she stays in Southern Qi, so she hurriedly promised him a marriage and left him a queen?" ”

Han Jian smiled on his face, and this thought narrowed a little. But I can't help but say that the empress should have this consideration, and more importantly, if Yang Xi is really set up as the crown prince and let Yang Xi marry first, it will be more convincing to the public, starting a family is a necessary process for the transformation from a boy to a man, and an eldest child who doesn't even have a family can indeed convince the courtiers and the world.

A prince who has lived in the palace for a long time and doesn't even have his own mansion looks like a fledgling.

Han Jian said: "Success or not, you must first follow your sister's wishes, she is also good for you, after all, you have also reached the age of starting a family." ”

Han Jian persuaded him, a little irrelevant, after all, the marriage that the empress promised him was pushed by him. And the empress said that she wanted to marry him and Gu Xin'er again, but he refused.

Yang Xi hesitated a little and said, "That'...... I'll go back and talk to my sister. ”

Han Jian's words seemed to be very effective, but Yang Xi didn't agree with it, but this statement seemed to accept the fact that he was going to get married.

As he was talking, a hurried figure downstairs came upstairs, the footsteps were hurried, and Han Jian and the others couldn't help but look at the staircase, but it was Huang Lie, who was sweating profusely.

"You're all here, big ...... It's not ...... big thing," Huang Lie said in a panic as soon as he came up.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it after I even breathe." Han Jian frowned slightly.

Huang Lie swallowed and said, "I just heard that as soon as that Miss He arrived at Yuhua Tower, Li Shilang sent someone to pick her up, saying that he was going to send it to the third prince. What is this? Last time, the third prince said very clearly, if he won the wine fight, Li Shilang would spend money to ransom people and give it to whom, didn't he know that he was repaying the debt? Let's hurry up and snatch people, we can't swallow this breath! ”

Han Jian originally saw Huang Lie's appearance, and thought that something was wrong with the imperial court. couldn't help but glance at Huang Lie at the moment, as for who "Miss He" was with, he didn't care, he didn't go to Yuhualou today to pick up girls.
