Chapter 86 The Situation

"Young Master, we cannot save people. How can you agree to the Xiliang woman for this unknown thing?"

After Mrs. Luo and Daxiliu left, only Han Jian and Sima Jie were left on the second floor of Qingxu Yashe. Sima Jie looked at Han Jian excitedly, and he felt that it was incomprehensible that Han Jian wanted to save Yang Yu.

Han Jian was in a very dull mood, and he did not directly agree to save the person. He just agreed to Mrs. Luo’s conditions for surrender.

"Let me ask you, what is the interest in saving people or not saving them?" Han Jian asked back.

This is a bit difficult for Sima Jie. Although Sima Jie has a lot of fun, he always does things casually. The main reason why he doesn't help Yang Yu is not liked. As for who is the emperor, it's not his turn to worry about it.

Sima Yi said, "Just talk about that man, you did yesterday to the young master, it was obviously a grudge. If you rescue him, if you let him become the emperor in the future, won't you make things difficult for you everywhere?"

Han Jian smiled and shook his head, meaning that this was not the answer he wanted.

"The emperor is not yet ready to pass the throne?" Han Jian said calmly, "Are these things too far?"

Sima Yi said again: "That would be bad for you if you make him the crown prince."

"I'm in the capital for a maximum of one or two years. Even if he can be the crown prince, we have already returned to Jiangdu by then. We want soldiers and people, and we are worried that he will make things difficult for us?" Han Jian looked at Sima Jie with a smile, and his smile became increasingly difficult for Sima Jie to understand.

"Will it be better to let him die? Although Mr. Yang met us for the first time, fortunately he is a real person and is humble and polite to us. Isn't he better to be the prince than who?"

Han Jian sighed and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. The kidnappers are not trying to kill people to silence them, nor are they for money. It is probably for bandits arrested by the court. Within three moments, they will propose conditions for a replacement to the court. Do you think the court will refuse?"

"Your Majesty is being held captive, can you easily replace someone?" Sima Jiezi muttered.

Han Jian said, "Your Majesty is kind, let alone the one who is tied up is Your Majesty's younger brother, and perhaps it is the candidate for the crown prince in the future. In such a situation, it is difficult for the court to not let go. Then, why don't we just push the boat and rescue the person first to fulfill Mr. Yang? Mr. Yang has made contributions to saving people, and he might be appreciated by His Majesty for this?"

Sima Yi frowned and said, "Even if we know where people are hiding, people will be so easy to save? What if they can't be saved..."

Han Jian smiled and said, "I can't save it, I'll startle the snake. The kidnappers kept tearing the tickets? Uh... are you worried about this?"

Sima Yi finally realized it in his heart and smiled bitterly: "Forgive me, young master. I haven't figured it out before. Are you a little cruel?"

"Isn't your claim that you don't save people also for this purpose?" Han Jian asked back.

Sima Yi smiled and said nothing.

Han Jian sighed: "The biggest crisis in the court today did not come from the Xianbei and Qi dynasties, but the forces of the Western King and the Northern King to suppress Luoyang. The forces of both sides are too strong and are eyeing Luoyang. Now the Southern King has no intention of competing with the Western King and the Northern King, but is more focused on developing his own territory and stabilizing the defense line of Qi dynasties. Your Majesty keeps me in Luoyang, in the name of training, but in fact there is a consideration for me to take charge."

Sima Yi looked disagreeable and said, "If Your Majesty really wants you to take charge of the young master, will it be better to let you go back to Jiang?"

"This is the cleverness of Your Majesty. As soon as I stepped out of the cage, I had power but no appeal. My greatest capital was me. Even if the Western King and the Northern King wanted to send troops to Luoyang and seize the throne, they would be afraid."

Sima Yi asked in confusion: "What are you afraid of?"

"Of course it's not me, but Jiangdu's soldiers. I'm in Luoyang, so when they start a fight, it's hard for Jiangdu's soldiers to not serve the king. Do you think my concubines will let me stay in Luoyang City and take risks without regard for it? But if I go back, Jiangdu's soldiers may really not care about Luoyang City."

Sima Yi frowned and said, "Isn't your Majesty a bit despicable to do this?"

"You can't talk nonsense. There is no despicable or not in your political position, only gains and losses. In fact, I think it's good to stay in Luoyang. At least in political position, I stand on Your Majesty's side. This is due to my own considerations. Because no matter who seizes the government, the King of the North and King of the West will not allow me, the East King. And I'm trying to win over the old Xiliang subordinates who are hostile to the King of the West for the purpose of forming a strategic alliance."

Sima thought about it and said that although he still had many things he didn't understand, he also understood the general meaning from Han Jian's words. Han Jian wanted to stand on the same front with the Queen to fight against the Western King and the Northern King, and even went to win over the old subordinates of Xiliang who had always had some grudges with the court.

Han Jian said: "Although the old subordinates of Xiliang have always been enemies with the court, after all, their purpose is to restore the country, not to plot the authority of the Wei Dynasty. The court is naturally not suitable to come out to join forces with these people in Xiliang. If this is the same as a public declaration of war on the King of Xiwang. But I am different from the Eastern King. I am a fledgling man. I don't know anything to outsiders. I can do anything at will and do anything without regard for the consequences. Then, if I join forces with the old subordinates of Xiliang, even if I was discovered by the King of Xiliang later, then Your Majesty has a complete reason to put aside the relationship and not to worsen the situation. If Your Majesty understands my painstaking efforts, it will never make things difficult for me, but will support me. Do you think so, do we win multiple goals in one fell swoop?"

Sima Yi sighed, "Young Master, you have a far-sighted vision. I'd better be a hero. You're a hero and do good deeds, so you don't have to think about so many things."

"Now, it's just a prince who has some rift from us. Whether to save it or not is not a big difference for us. Rescue makes His Majesty trust us more. If you can't save someone, you will be torn to death, and no one can blame us. So, put your heart back in your stomach. If you don't understand something in the future, we can spread it out and talk, don't be too impulsive, especially in front of outsiders. I'm afraid that your temper will cause trouble."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Okay. Actually, I think posing in front of the Xiliang woman will help you improve your dignity."

Han Jian also smiled. He didn't say anything to stop Sima Jie just now, because of this. If Sima Jie hadn't stood beside him with a dark face, Mrs. Luo wouldn't have felt such great pressure. After all, he was still young and had some pressure to shock an old woman like Mrs. Luo who had been through a long battle formation.

After saying that, it was almost dusk. The two occupied Qingxu Yashe so that Qingxu Yashe did not even do business for the evening meal. Han Jian and Sima Yi first called the shopkeeper to explain, and then they left Qingxu Yashe together.

When we arrived at the door, a hurried figure came over, but it was Lin Zhan again.

"Brother Lin is here in such a hurry, is there anything wrong?" Han Jian looked at Lin Zhan. Lin Zhan usually went to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. He had been running for Lin Xiaoyun's affairs before, and came over in the morning to tell him that Su Tingxia would surrender.

"Young Master, I have two things to tell you when I am here." Lin Zhan said gasping.

"Speak slowly, it's not too late to go up and rest." Han Jian said.

"No need. Things are a little urgent." Lin Zhan said, "The first thing is that there is news from the kidnappers. They asked someone to shoot a letter to our Tingwei Mansion half an hour ago, saying that they would exchange the lives of all the rebellious parties that have been arrested by the court over the years."

Han Jianxin said that the kidnappers were quite fast. They had just got the kidnappers' hiding point, and the kidnappers had already started to act.

"Reported?" Han Jianwen.

"Yes. The young mansion of Lu went to the palace to meet the emperor in person. The young mansion has not returned yet, and I don't know how the court decided." Lin Zhan said, "There is another second thing. It is Mr. Su's business. This matter was nothing, but you have been pursuing the fraud case. I think you still have to tell the young man that you are. After Mr. Su surrendered to the government today, he was first taken away by the people from the Shenzheng Department, but he was released in the afternoon and sentenced to death."

"Cut off?" Han Jian asked with a frown.

"No, it's exile, just like Xiaoyun, they are all Nanliu."

Han Jian nodded slightly. "Nanliu" had a special meaning in the Wei Dynasty, which was to exile to the south, which was to exile to the southern kingdom. Han Jianxin said that Su Tingxia should be a person that no one can tolerate in all parties. After surrendering, he did not die, but was sentenced to exile?

Why did the imperial court not kill Su Tingxia and ease the situation?
