Chapter 158: There is a gap between the ruler and the minister
In Han Jian's opinion, the Xianbei people did not invade early or late, but they invaded when the Queen and the Northern King were about to showdown, as if they had been negotiated. There was obviously a fraud among them.
But the queen seemed to not believe what Han Jian said.
The queen said: "You have reasons for your doubts, but the Xianbei people and our dynasty have a deep grudge and will never be involved in the Northern King."
Han Jian asked, "That is your Majesty's intention to send troops and money and food according to the permission of the King of Northern?"
The queen said: "The Northern King did not ask for an order to dispatch troops, but I am not willing to ignore the matter of money and food. After all, this matter concerns the safety of the people in the Central Plains, and I cannot neglect it."
Han Jian saw that persuasion was useless, so he did not force himself to persuade him. Since the queen had believed that there was no problem with the invasion of the Xianbei people, what he said would seem like a villain.
"Why don't you know what your Majesty summons me to discuss?" Han Jian asked.
The queen glanced at Han Jian, and her expression seemed to be saying, "You guy seems to have a big opinion?"
"It's okay." The queen also said a little unkindly, "I called you here, but I just inform you in advance. I am going to make my sixth brother the crown prince at your request. I will use him as an envoy to Qi. In addition, I am going to use the Prince of Yanning as an envoy to escort money and grain to the north."
When Han Jian heard what the queen said, he knew that the queen had already made a decision on everything. No matter what he said, it was useless.
"Your Majesty is wise." Han Jianyan said insincerely. He still wondered why he had not seen Yanning Prince and Tang Sheng. It turned out that the queen's method of dealing with Tang Sheng coldly was to ask Tang Sheng and Yanning Prince to escort money and grain. In this way, even if Tang Sheng really had problems in the corruption case, sending him out would not affect the subsequent team formed by the Ministry of Revenue. Tang Sheng would not be exposed to real power again after he came back.
The queen seemed to have heard that Han Jian's words were not intentional.
Although it seems that everything between the king and the ministers did not hide, they already had some sense of separation between them. Han Jian was in conflict with the Queen of the invasion of the Xianbei people, which was also the root cause of the rift.
"What I said today is that the King of the East will not tell others first. I will draft an order to announce it in the future. You go down." The Queen said at last as if she was following the tone of the following order to expel the guest.
Han Jian sighed in his heart that everyone said that the imperial family was indifferent. He didn't believe it before, but now it seems that the queen's turn against him faster than reading a book. He said that he trusted him and was about to establish a prince was informed in advance of the news that such an important thing was to be a prince, but he did not accept his opinion, which seemed to be very verbal.
Fortunately, Han Jian was prepared for what he was today. He saluted respectfully and then withdrew from the Han Li Palace. At the gate of Han Li Palace, Yang Xi and Yang Yu were waiting. When he saw Han Jian coming out, Yang Xi came forward and asked, "Brother Han, what did you say to you?"
Han Jian looked at the two brothers. Even Yang Yu was looking at her, as if he wanted to know what the Queen said to him in secret. Han Jian really wanted to say that you are going to be the prince and you are going to be a mission to Southern Qi. Since the Queen had an order not to let him say it, he would not go to trouble and smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty just asked me some opinions. What can I have on the war? Alas!"
After saying that, Han Jian sighed and left the palace in the direction of his origin.
...
...
Han Jian was in a depressed mood for two days. He felt as if he had been put on by the queen.
Originally, Yang Xi and Yang Yu were named kings. He went to the palace to watch the ceremony, but he didn't expect that the Xianbei invasion would be involved. He just said to be careful of fraud, so he was pushed back by the queen. Han Jian felt that his suspicion would not be wrong.
Fortunately, Han Jian was open-minded and knew that some things were worrying about in vain. Even if the invasion of the Xianbei people was a conspiracy between the Northern King and the Xianbei people, it would be as he had guessed before. The Xianbei people's wolves' hearts were easy to invite gods and difficult to send gods. In the end, fake invasion will become real invasion. Now the Xianbei has quelled the rebellion on the northern grasslands and is ready to go to the Central Plains. The Xianbei people are fully prepared for this battle. The Northern King was too busy for a while. It may take a long time to prepare for the rebellion. The Queen is not in a hurry to settle the final settlement with the Northern King. She can wait for the Xianbei people to retreat to the north and then use political means to settle the final settlement with the Northern King.
Han Jian suddenly felt that whether he stayed in Luoyang City or not had a big impact on the current situation. The queen kept him in Luoyang mainly to prevent the sudden rebellion of the Northern King. Now the Northern King will be at peace for a while, and his stay in Luoyang will be a burden to the court.
Han Jian thought, does this mean that he will go back to Jiangdu soon to be his leisurely little prince?
Two days later, on May 12th, the palace suddenly took action. In the morning court, the queen announced the news of the war in the north in public, and public opinion was in an uproar. Only then did the ministers of Luoyang City realize that the Xianbei people had attacked their doorsteps and would invade south at any time. Soon, the news spread throughout Luoyang City like spring breeze, and then gradually spread to the south, making everyone in the world know that the Xianbei people were going to war with the Wei Dynasty.
It was just noon on May 12th, Han Jian had just had a tour with Gu Xiner in the morning and took Gu Xiner to Qingxu Yashe for the first time at noon. He saw Yang Xi hurriedly coming to ask for his opinion. At this time, the queen still had not made any statement against the prince.
"Young Master Yang... No, Kang... Prince, you are not in the palace for nothing, why do you have time to come out and walk around?" Han Jian looked at Yang Xi with a cold attitude.
There are two King Kang of the court at present, King Kang of Lao Kang and Yang Xi, the new King Kang of the two. One is a prince and the other is a prince. In order to distinguish it, Han Jian also knew that in the future, King Kang could not be called one of them, and the title of Prince or Prince must be added.
"Brother Han, why do you have to be so disgusted?" Yang Xi said a little aggrievedly, "It's better to call me the same as before. I, King Kang, are actually very fragile."
Han Jian smiled, and Yang Xi told the truth. Even if Yang Xi was granted the title of king, his fiefdom was not implemented for a while. He was just given a mansion and had not moved there yet. He should be a prince or a prince, and he did not grow any piece of meat because of his title of king.
Han Jian glanced at Gu Xin'er and knew that when he was talking to Yang Xi, Gu Xin'er should have avoided it. But Han Jian was not so reserved, and just signaled Yang Xi to go aside to speak. In this way, Han Jian also conveyed a meaning to Yang Xi, saying what you want to say, and I have to go back to have a meal after I finish speaking.
When the two of them got aside, Yang Xi said, "Brother Han, you talk about the Xianbei people, but have any good suggestions? You said, I will go back and tell my sister? You don't know, my sister is a little restless about the Xianbei people these days, and I really want to share my worries."
Han Jian shook his head helplessly. If the queen was willing to listen to his opinions, why would she let him go? He would not have to go to the palace to discuss major events with the queen if he asked him to come out and date Gu Xiner.
"Young Master Yang, you should be calm about some things. No matter how serious the Xianbei people are, it is what the Northern King should deal with. It is not related to the court for the time being." Han Jianyu said earnestly.
"Northern King? Court?" Yang Xi was a little confused. He had always believed that the North King was also a minister of the Wei Dynasty. Now the Xianbei people invaded the Wei Dynasty instead of the Beiwang territory. Now Han Jian directly separated the North King and the court, just like the two were two countries.
"Relax, don't worry, you are the greatest support for Your Majesty." Han Jian patted Yang Xi on the shoulder and said something Yang Xi didn't understand very well.
Yang Xi wanted to ask something else, but Han Jian said that he was "very busy" and had no time to entertain him. Yang Xi followed Han Jian's gaze and looked at Gu Xiner who was still sitting at the table, as if he understood something. Han Jian was polite and not planning to have a long talk with him.
"Then I won't disturb Brother Han, I'll say goodbye first." Yang Xi was helpless and was about to leave. He couldn't help but remind him, "If Brother Han has any good suggestions, I will definitely ask someone to notify me."
"Okay, you go first. If I think of a good idea, I will tell you." Han Jian said with a smile.
After Yang Xi left, Han Jian's smile sank and felt a little unhappy. Tell you to let you go to the queen again to get into trouble? Do you think I'm a slut?
Han Jian was now holding anger. He had been thinking about helping the Queen to calm the Northern King Party before. Now he was really at the point where the rabbit was about to cook before he died. He was just suspicious of the Xianbei invasion, so the Queen did not believe him, which made him feel that what he had done before seemed meaningless.
When she returned to the table, Han Jian explained to Gu Xiner. Gu Xiner was also very polite and she didn't ask too much about what she shouldn't ask.
The two had lunch alone for the first time. After dinner, Han Jian went out to play with Gu Xiner. When it was almost dusk, Han Jian sent Gu Xiner back to the mansion and returned to the Dongwang Mansion villa. He received an order. In the afternoon, the empress had issued an order to grant Yang Xi the crown prince. Compared to the fact that he was crowned two days ago, the imperial court was much more low-key. It was originally a case of the invasion of the Central Plains by the Xianbei invasion of the Central Plains, and it was a bit of a sense of foreign enemies to be forced to establish a crown prince, so it was a bit of a hasty and the whole court could understand it. On the contrary, at such a time, the imperial court opposed the imperial opposition, even if it was Yang Xi rather than Yang Yu. It was usually the consensus of the people of the country to have a long ruler. Even if the old man had to hand over the baton at ordinary people, he would not let his young son be in charge when the eldest son was not at fault. The empress himself established Yang Xi, which also had the intention of deposing the eldest son.
Immediately the next day, the empress issued an order to ask the new crown prince to serve as an envoy to Qi. This order was a little restless and wanted to write a letter to the empress to take back the matter of the empress against the crown prince, and some ministers who had completely calmed down.
When these ministers knew that the empress appointed the crown prince to ask the new crown prince to serve as a mission to Southern Qi, they seemed to understand why the empress wanted to "destroy the eldest and establish the youngest". This was consistent with Su Tingxia's speculation when Han Jian first talked about this matter with Su Tingxia. Anyone, including the empress, could think that a prince with only a name is not as important as a prince in China.
The ministers thought that the empress did this to abandon the car and protect the general, and threw Yang Xi to the Southern Qi, in exchange for the stable external environment of the Wei Dynasty when it went to war with the Xianbei.
Only Han Jian knew that the empress made Yang Xi the crown prince was not just to sacrifice Yang Xi, but it was true that the empress had to exchange for a stable external environment, but the empress was targeting the Northern King, not the Xianbei people.
