After dawn, Han Jian entered the palace by an order. Outside the Yingtian Gate of the Imperial Palace, a group of ministers had already gathered outside. It was originally the day of the morning court, but the empress did not summon the ministers. Although the ministers were in Luoyang City, they did not keep their eyes closed. The news of the war between the court army and the Northern King's Army along the Yellow River had reached the ears of the ministers, and when Han Jian arrived, they were also talking.

"Come?" Han Jian knocked down Gu Weipan outside Yingtian Gate. Gu Weipan seemed to have not had a good sleep all night, with bloodshot eyes, and he was quite friendly to Han Jian.

"Chief Gu, morning." Han Jian greeted with a smile. He had not been asleep all night. Compared to Gu Weipan, he was much more busy last night. By dawn, Han Jian thought he could be relaxed, so he was summoned from the palace.

Gu Weipan asked: "What's the situation outside the city now?"

"Chief Gu asked the wrong person. How do you know the situation outside when you are in the city? But it seems that the imperial army won, at least the rebels of the Northern King did not kill the city of Luoyang, right? Chief Gu, I am issuing an edict to enter the palace and cannot stay for a long time. I am sorry."

After Han Jian finished speaking, he used the excuse of the Queen summoning him to enter the palace first.

When other ministers saw Han Jian, the originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet, and all the ministers looked at Han Jian.

Last night, the Dongwang led his troops to kidnap Lu Fengning, the Tingwei Shaofu, and then steal the military power of the escort office to take over the defense of Beijingmen. The news has been spread to these ministers. Although the news outside the city is not well-versed, the news in the city is not blocked. Now the ministers do not know that there are other people who killed Zhou Che, and they think it is the work of the Dongwang, so they looked at Han Jian with a bit of awe and taboo. If the Dongwang was not standing on the side of the rebellion and killing Zhou Che, they would collude with the rebel party on behalf of Zhou Che. Now the Northern King is planning rebellion, and there are still many ministers in the court who will be implicated, so everyone is in danger.

Han Jian was also a little nervous at this time. Although the matter last night was handled properly, he was acting without permission after all. If the queen turned back to settle the accounts and settled the scores on him, he would still suffer. Fortunately, the queen seemed to trust the Eastern Palace, and she was ready to mobilize the Eastern Palace to enter the city, which also shows that the Queen relied heavily on the Eastern Palace. It was just that the animal army had no idea about the entry of the city, which made him very depressed. He was the master of Jiangdu prefectures and counties.

After Han Jian entered the palace, a graceful woman was waiting for the summons at the palace gate. It was Princess Anping, Yang Xiuxiu.

Yang Xiuxiu seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled so hard when she saw Han Jian. According to the etiquette, the two of them greeted each other. Yang Xiuxiu said: "Eunuch Lu died suddenly last night. Can the King of Dong know?"

"Is Eunuch Lu dead? If it weren't for the princess's words, I really don't know." Han Jian pretended to be surprised. In fact, he probably guessed that the Queen had intentionally pretended to deteriorate her relationship with him before, so she should be an insider around her. Han Jian suspected that Lu Shaokun had a problem at that time. Now Lu Shaokun's death also confirms this.

"Yeah." Yang Xiuxiu nodded, as if she wasn't surprised that Han Jian didn't know about Lu Shaokun's death, and said. "You were in the city all night and it wasn't strange that things in the palace were not strange. You did a good thing last night, it depends on whether you can do good things to the end."

"What does the princess mean?" Han Jian looked at Yang Xiuxiu and asked.

"Hmph, King Dong thinks about it yourself. Your Majesty summoned him closely. King Dong is the first minister to meet the saint today. Please, King Dong."

Han Jian thought, was Yang Xiuxiu entrusting him to do things or "coercing" him to do things? What did she say "do a good thing". It should be that he arrested Lu Fengning and "doing good things to the end". Could it be that he said in front of the queen that Lu Fengning had colluded with the rebel minister and punished him for his death?

If Yang Xiuxiu really means this, Han Jianxin said that the most poisonous thing is the woman's heart. If you don't want to marry, you don't want to marry. You have to kill him quickly. Could it be that the two of them have any grudges?

Since Yang Xiuxiu didn't say it clearly, Han Jian naturally wouldn't ask. The queen was summoned so she had to go to Ye'an Pavilion to meet immediately.

Before Ye'an Pavilion, the number of palace guards increased significantly. The security level of the palace was strengthened. Han Jian arrived, so he could go directly to the yard without waiting for the summons, but was stopped at this time. It was not until someone went in to report to the queen, and the queen sent a little eunuch out to pass the message that Han Jian was allowed to enter. The little eunuch took Han Jian directly into Ye'an Pavilion.

The queen sat upright in the old seat, alone closing her eyes as if she was resting. There was only the little eunuch who brought Han Jian in in the entire Ye'an Pavilion, and after leading Han Jian in, the little eunuch also retreated. In this way, only Han Jian and the queen were left in the entire Ye'an Pavilion.

Han Jian looked up at the queen, and the queen closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. He didn't know if he should ask him to wake the queen, or if the queen closed her eyes and rested, and she didn't sleep at all.

"Dongwang, do you know where you were wrong last night?" Han Jian was thinking about the matter, but the queen suddenly asked.

This sound broke the silence.

"Return to Your Majesty, I made the decision without authorization last night and did not ask for a report to Your Majesty." Han Jian bowed honestly and said.

Han Jian thought a lot before coming. No matter whether what he did last night was right or wrong, he would be held accountable by the queen afterwards. This involves the authority of imperial power. Although he is the Eastern King and some things can be done cheaply, what he did last night was almost a rebellion, and the queen said nothing afterwards, which was unreasonable.

"Yes." What surprised Han Jian was that the queen was not too angry, but her face was calm and nodded, "No more examples."

Han Jian was even more surprised. Even if the matter was revealed with just a sentence like "Not taking an example", did he encourage him to continue to be so "lawless" in the future?

Or is the Queen not very much trying to hold him accountable because the Northern King has not been eliminated, and she is especially afraid of his current army in the capital?

"If you have any guilt, you should be punished. Please give up the crime." Han Jian apologized himself.

The queen looked up slightly, glared at Han Jian, and said, "You are quite conscious. Why didn't you know this before doing things? Every time I have to wait to do things, and then come to me to act like a good person. What do I say? If you punish you, the court will naturally know that you are acting unauthorized. How can you convince the public if you are a small punishment? Are you clearly trying to force me to force you to lift you up?"

Han Jian could hear that although the Queen said lightly before and only said "Not to be an example", she still had a lot of opinions about him acting without authorization.

Han Jian thought, it would be good to have opinions, not to hide them, it would be worth savoring. Maybe he was waiting for the final account to be settled later. Now that I explained the words, although it would make the monarch and ministers a little embarrassed, it was just heart-to-heart.

"I learned that there was a rebellion in the city and it was going to be unfavorable to Your Majesty, and I didn't have time to report to Your Majesty, so I... made my decision..."

The queen glanced at him and said, "You are not honest. You didn't have time to report to me? You have planned yesterday for a long time, right? And you have to deliberately hide it from me, King Dong, let me tell you what you are good about, sometimes don't be too smart."

The queen had just scolded her and Han Jian had not had time to avenge her, so a little eunuch asked her to meet at the door.

"What's the matter?" The queen turned evil. Perhaps she had given orders before that no matter who came to see her, she would have to wait for her to summon her. The little eunuch didn't understand the rules and dared to disturb her.

"Return to Your Majesty, it is news outside the palace that it is the leader of the rebel party and is being escorted to the palace gate..."

"The leader?" Han Jian and the queen both thought to themselves, "Isn't it that King Bei? King Bei was captured alive?"

"The successor comes in." When the queen heard such important news, she didn't bother to be angry with the little eunuch and immediately summoned someone to talk. When the person came in, it was Yu Han, the head of the Shenzheng Department.

As soon as Yu Han entered Ye'an Pavilion, he looked at Han Jian and saluted the queen but did not saluted Han Jian.

Han Jian was not surprised. This was an attitude. The Shenzheng Department was only responsible to the queen. He could turn a blind eye to him when he saw him. It was also said in extraordinary times.

"What's the matter?" the queen asked again.

"Go back to Your Majesty, the rebel minister Yang Ru, was taken down by... Master Sima of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and has been escorted outside the palace." Yu Han said.

Han Jian was stunned. Sima Yi captured the Northern King alive? This is really a strange thing. No wonder Yu Han looked at him as soon as he came in. It turned out that the matter was related to him.

Han Jian's instructions last night were to ask Sima Yi to join the Northern King to leave Luoyang and ask the Northern King messenger to spread the news, so that he could directly do these people. Even if the task was completed, Han Jian never thought that Sima Yi would capture the Northern King alive. Han Jian didn't understand what he did?

"Chief." The queen looked grim and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Han withdrew from Ye'an Pavilion and immediately went to the palace gate to pass on the message.

Just as Yu Han went out, the queen looked up at Han Jian and said, "Your person is quite capable."

It was originally a praising sentence, but Han Jian felt something was wrong. The queen's tone seemed to be a little sarcastic. Does the queen think the Northern King should not be arrested?

Because of the sudden arrest of King Bei, Han Jian and the Queen did not speak, and the king and his minister lived in the same room silently. After more than a stick of incense, there was a sound outside Ye'an Pavilion, and Sima's shouting sound could be heard from a distance.

Then, Yu Han appeared in Ye'an Pavilion again.

"Your Majesty, I will bring you here." Yu Han said.

"Bring in." said the queen.

Yu Han withdrew, and soon Sima Yi and several guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the palace guards jointly pushed a middle-aged man with fluffy hair tied with his hands. The man was very strong, and although he looked nearly fifty years old, he looked like a general. When the queen saw this person, she carefully identified the man. She wanted to struggle, but Sima Yi stepped on the ground.

"I'm still moving around. Do you believe me and I stab you with a knife?" Sima Yi shouted coldly.

"No rashness is allowed!" Han Jian shouted, "I won't salute to Your Majesty."

Sima Yi then remembered that this was the palace and quickly paid tribute to him. Sima Yi had long wanted to go to the palace to see the queen, but he never fulfilled his wish. Unexpectedly, this time his dream came true and he saw the queen with his own eyes.
