Chapter 671: Sister and Brother Reunion (Part 2)

Yang Xi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the curtains, feeling very excited. ↑

Han Jian wanted to help him get up, but Yang Xi refused. Han Jian had to lift the curtain first and put it inside. At this time, Yang Rui had already heard Yang Xi's voice outside and struggled to sit down. Han Jian helped her sit up, and Yang Rui had already shed tears.

"Is it Xi'er?" Yang Rui asked obscurely, still having a difficult pronunciation.

"Yes, the prince is back." Han Jian said.

Yang Rui wanted to say something else, but after all, he was unable to reach it. He pointed to the direction of the door. Han Jian naturally understood that it was Yang Rui who wanted to see Yang Xi soon.

Han Jian first placed Yang Rui and asked her to sit against the window edge, then went out to urge Yang Xi to go in quickly. Who knew that Yang Xi was still stubborn and knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"Where is this prince? Why don't you go in and meet Your Majesty?" Han Jian said.

Yang Xi sobbed and said, "I...I have no shame to see my sister."

"If you have no face, you are your sister." Han Jian almost shouted, which scared Yang Xi. Yang Xi's body trembled for a moment and even cried. It seemed that he was still afraid of Han Jian's shouting, perhaps because of the shadow left in the Southern Qi Dynasty before.

"Let's go." Han Jian didn't care about that much, helped him up and walked inside.

After lifting the curtain and getting inside, Yang Xi immediately began to kowtow again before he took two steps.

"Xi'er..." Yang Rui shouted. Although she was her younger brother, she regarded her as her own. This younger brother was the one she felt most distressed on weekdays. In addition, Yang Xi suffered too much in Southern Qi, and she always thought it was her own responsibility, so she felt guilty and felt sorry for this good brother.

Yang Xi raised his head and realized that Yang Rui seemed to be different from before. He was very haggard. His body was fixed by splints, as if he was injured.

"Sister, you..."

Even if Yang Xi was no longer ashamed to see people, she didn't care too much at this time. She climbed to the edge of the bed and looked at Yang Rui. It seemed that she was wondering why Yang Rui, who had always been healthy, turned into this.

But Yang Rui obviously couldn't answer him now, so Yang Xi had to turn his head to look at Han Jian, with a search for inquiries in his eyes.

"Your sister was injured accidentally, don't worry too much, it's not a big deal. Now that you come back, your sister will be happy and the injury will definitely heal soon."

Han Jian smiled and said, but he saluted: "If you don't disturb Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, I will leave."

At this time, Han Jian also knew that he was staying like a light bulb, so he might as well wait outside first. For the Yang family, he is considered an outsider.

Han Jian left the palace gate and did not walk far away. At this time, the palace maids and eunuchs had dispersed, and only Hui'er was waiting at the entire palace gate. Seeing Han Jian coming out, Hui'er didn't dare to walk away. After all, she had to take care of Yang Rui's daily life. Now Yang Rui is injured, and all food, drink, defecation and urination need someone to take care of her. She has been very tired these two days.

"well!"

Han Jian couldn't help but sigh and sat down directly on the low steps of the flower bed. Hui'er walked over, extremely respectful and wanted to listen to the orders.

"Your Majesty is fine these two days?" Han Jian asked.

Hui'er nodded first, then hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"Thank you too," Han Jian said casually.

Hui'er was obviously a little flattered, and she was a little uneasy and didn't know how to respond. Even though she had a high status in the palace, she was just a little palace maid after all. She didn't understand many things, but for Han Jian and Yang Rui, she was just a servant, and she couldn't even complain if she killed her. Now Han Jian turned around and thanked her, which made her feel uneasy.

Han Jian stopped talking, but looked sideways in the direction of Yang Rui's bedroom. After half an hour, Yang Xi walked out of the palace while wiping tears. Seeing Han Jian, Yang Xi felt a little guilty and came to Han Jian step by step. At this time, Han Jian had already stood up to greet him.

"How is it?" Han Jian said, waved his hand, and Huier immediately went in to serve. In this way, Han Jian could also talk to Yang Xi alone.

"Sister...she can't speak, but she loves me very much, I can tell." Yang Xi said, feeling a little sad again.

"Since you are back, it's better than anything else. Stay calm for a few days and help your sister take care of the government and help her share her worries in the future. This is the best way to repay her." Han Jian said.

Yang Xi nodded, but looked at Han Jian with gratitude and said, "Brother Han, thank you... for saving me back. My sister has told me about you and my sister."

"Have your sister told you?" Han Jian was a little surprised. Logically speaking, Yang Rui couldn't speak now. It would be nice to see Yang Xi able to say a few words. Will he be honest about the matter between the two?

Yang Xi said: "Sister said, she is pregnant with your flesh and blood. Then I can't call you Brother Han in the future. It's time to call you brother-in-law."

Even though Han Jian was prepared, he was still a little uncomfortable when he heard this title. No one ever called his brother-in-law. This title made him feel strange. Yang Xi used to be his friend, but now he suddenly became a brother-in-law.

"It doesn't matter if you call it." Han Jian said, "It's just that in public, it's better not to call it that."

Yang Xi nodded again and said, "I understand."

As he said that, Han Jian found that Yang Xi's beard was particularly annoying. A young man in his prime was tortured to such a look. Han Jian felt a little guilty.

"After these days, you can live in your old residence in the palace. I'll find someone to help you clean up. After you finish cleaning up, come to see your sister and let your sister rest assured." Han Jian said.

"Well." Although Yang Xi had experienced the trip to the Southern Dynasty and suffered, he still had no idea in Luoyang. Now he is "unfamiliar with the place". Many things have changed a lot when he just came back. The harmonious royal relationship in Luoyang City, which was once harmonious, has disappeared. He can only adapt, and everything still needs Han Jian's help.

Han Jian and Yang Xi left the inner garden of the palace together, but did not walk the Ye'an Pavilion. On the road, Yang Xi would stop to see the scene in the palace from time to time. After all, it was the place where he had grown up. Even if time passed, he still felt familiar with every flower and a tree in the palace.

When I walked to a hall gate, there were already palace maids and eunuchs who had taken care of Yang Xi's daily life.

"Carry it out for the prince. If the prince is tired, you might as well take a break first. Someone will bring the food here soon. Let's talk about the past tomorrow." Han Jian said.

After saying this, Han Jian left and headed towards Ye'an Pavilion after watching Yang Xi enter the hall.

When we arrived at the gate of Ye'an Pavilion, the noisy yard calmed down instantly, and everyone's eyes fell on Han Jian, who looked gloomy.

"Your Highness." Ning Yuan and Lin Ke came first, but Gu Weipan, who had just entered the palace, was not seen.

"Where is Taifu Gu?" Han Jian asked.

"Teacher Gu is in good health. Go back and rest first." Ning Yuan said.

Han Jian nodded slightly. Will Gu Weipan leave the palace like this? Or is it that something happened here during his departure?

Walking into Ye'an Pavilion, Han Jian then summoned several important ministers in the court, including some generals from the Eastern Prince's Mansion. This time it was his last time to hold such a meeting as a state supervisor.

When everyone came in, they all lowered their heads, obviously they were guessing that there would be such a change in Luoyang next. When the prince came back, the Eastern King could have two choices. One was to ignore it and treat it as a puppet. Or simply treat it as transparency. What should the Eastern King do or what should the Eastern King do? The big and small affairs of the imperial court still came from the Eastern King's Mansion. The second type, which is what they most hoped to see, is that the Eastern King let the Emperor give power to the Prince and let the Prince come out to manage the government affairs. But they thought this was not realistic. Even if the Eastern King could do this, with Yang Xi's current ability, obviously lacked the experience of managing the government affairs.

"Everyone, I don't say much. This time the prince's return is also a blessing for my Great Wei." Han Jian said, "From today, Shangshu Ning will no longer be the Shangshutai, and will be the position of Shangshutai with Taifu Gu."

"Abide by the order." Ning Yuan had no objection. After all, Gu Weipan had more qualifications and prestige than him, and even he had to convince himself. He would not accept it if he had changed to others.

Now it is not to say that Han Jian has removed his post, but to ask him to attack the more experienced Gu Weipan. Gu Weipan obviously came out to take charge of the overall situation when the prince just returned to the court. Now Gu Weipan's health is not as good as before, so he retreats as soon as he says he wants to retreat. When Gu Weipan retreats, isn't he still led by him?

However, he suddenly changed from the main position to the deputy position. After several months of training, he still felt a little uncomfortable. Now he has to start from scratch. What he wants to keep is the status of those people behind him, at least some of the key positions, and he still wants to take control of his own people. After all, Gu Weipan is just here alone, without his "team", which is equivalent to being a commander alone, and everything depends on them to complete.

Han Jian added: "As for other personnel, there will be no changes. However, Minister Lin will be transferred to the Shangshutai."

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, then bowed to accept the order.

He was also very nervous. He had been smart before, and had already noticed that he had angered Han Jian. Now Han Jian transferred him to the Shangshutai, but he did not give him the identity of a secondary assistant. At most, he was just a errand. Now his identity is not as good as before. Many of the people following him were transferred outside and some were dismissed from office. Now he can be said to be isolated and helpless. After going to the Shangshutai, he was only suppressed by Ning Yuan. Before, he had gone to persuade Gu Weipan to not leave the mountain, and obviously he could not rely on Gu Weipan to support him. Now he is still worried about the future.

Imagine that Han Jian transferred him to Shangshutai to balance the relationship between Shangshutai at most, and did not intend to give him special power.

"I will ask Your Majesty for the report to use the prince as the governor and to preside over the government affairs. As for me, I will concentrate on military affairs." Han Jian looked around at the people present, "If anyone else makes trouble with the relationship between the court and the Eastern Prince's Mansion, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't be lucky!"

Han Jian finished speaking coldly and said, "People, please come back."

Several officials were a little hesitant and only left the door one after another after confirming that they had heard it wrong.

When he went outside, the eunuch who was passing the message had already explained that all officials could leave the palace and return to the house.

Han Jian did not leave in a hurry, but sat quietly in Ye'an Pavilion for a while. Now that Yang Xi is back, he also needs to digest many things by himself to set a position for the future.

The conflict between him and the people in the court was unresolved for the time being, and this was the conflict between the two camps. The only good thing now is that Yang Xi has come back, so that Yang Xi can be used as a lever for the balance between the middle, and Gu Weipan comes out again as the chief assistant, which can also play a role in balancing the relationship. But this is not a long-term solution.

After all, he didn't understand many things, whether to continue to suppress the people of the imperial factions, or to temporarily withdraw the troops.

Once the Mingjin withdraws the troops, the court may be the first to deal with himself after being strong under Yang Xi's leadership in the future. In the cracks of power, he also understood that this must be taken precautions. Letting Yang Xi come out to manage the government is now his promise to Yang Rui and can also be regarded as fulfilling a friend's moral heart. But after all, some things need to be considered more. Don't wait until you get eaten in the future, you will think that others are just gentle sheep.

It was getting late after leaving the palace. It was already early. Yang Xi should have been happy to come back, but Han Jian was also a little unhappy.

Yang Xi is his friend, but from a political perspective, he is likely to become his enemy in the future. He doesn't want to be as fratricidal as his brothers and sisters, but some things are so easy to resolve? Now Yang Rui is pregnant again. Should Yang Rui be at ease to be his wife of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and let Yang Xi be the future emperor, or does Han Jian feel unsure of it now. In the past, Han Jian could support Yang Xi unconditionally, but now Yang Rui is pregnant, and many things are different.

After all, people still have selfish intentions. Han Jian is not a saint and cannot avoid the vulgarity.

Thinking about the matter, the party returned to the East Prince's Mansion. Han Jian dismounted directly, but saw Han Song and others waiting at the door.

Han Jian was a little surprised. Han Song was still angry with him before. Now that he came out, it means that Han Song was coming for the return of Prince Yang Xi. Han Jian had not been angry with his family before, so that the whole family only knew about this after Yang Xi arrived at the palace gate.

"Jian, you did a good thing!"

When Han Song saw Han Jian, he scolded him directly, regardless of the guards and servants around him.

"Speak inside." Han Jian didn't want to make a noise with Han Song at the door. After all, there were Yang Rui's eyeliners among the people around Han Jian. The reason why Han Jian ignored Yang Rui was to give Yang Rui face.

When he arrived in the hall, Han Jiangang took off his cloak. Han Song then followed in and continued shouting: "Did you welcome the prince back? Are you crazy or crazy?"

"What the second lady means is that the prince should have died in the Southern Dynasty. Let's not worry about it?" Han Jian said.

"What does he have to do with you if he is still alive? Leave him in the Southern Dynasty, at least you can rest assured. Now that he is back, how can you deal with yourself in the future?" Han Song said angrily.
