Chapter 533 Lifting the ban
"What kind of wind is this? Is it blowing here?" Han Jian said in a semi-sarcastic tone.
"Your Highness is joking, and the lower official is no longer the Minister of the Shang Dynasty. Now the lower official is the Minister of Personnel." Lin Ke said with a wry smile.
Han Jian smiled and said, "I forgot even if I don't say it. Is there an urgent matter between Mr. Lin?"
"It's not an urgent matter." Lin Ke said, "Shangshutai just received an order from the military headquarters, saying that the guards in the city were lifted first. The subordinates came here to ask His Highness Dongwang for verification."
Han Jian waved his hand and asked Lin Ke to follow him into the hall. Han Jian said as he walked: "It is indeed the king's order to arrange things. This is also what His Majesty meant. Mr. Lin wouldn't think that this king was abusing his power, right?"
"Your Highness is joking. It is a good thing to lift the guard in this city. The official had already advised Your Majesty before, but Your Majesty did not agree immediately on the grounds that the current situation has not yet been settled. Now that the guard is lifted, the people can live a more peaceful life."
Han Jian sat back after the commander's case, looked at Lin Ke standing and said, "Mr. Lin has nothing else to do, so please come back. The ban was lifted this time, but the curfew has not been removed. There are many things that need to be transferred by the Secretary of the State Council, and Mr. Lin is also busy."
Lin Ke suddenly hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I heard... Grand Tutor Gu is coming to Luoyang. I wonder if this is the case?"
Only then did Han Jian know why Lin Ke looked strange today. It turned out that he knew that Gu Weipan was healed and was coming to Luoyang. He felt wary that someone was coming to steal his position as the chief minister for the first time.
"Teacher Gu returned to Luoyang just because he wanted to return to his roots. Taughter Gu is from Luoyang. Do you still need to inform Mr. Lin?" Han Jian said coldly.
"The officials did not have this intention." Lin Ke sighed, "It's just... Gu Taifu is old and in a state of strength. I don't know if he can come out to preside over the court. Your Highness, see, if Gu Taifu returns to Luoyang, will he still... still..."
"What else?" Han Jian asked along the way.
Lin Ke didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly. Han Jian naturally knew that he wanted to ask Gu Weipan to do anything after coming over.
"Let's talk about it when you arrive." Han Jian said, "This time, Grand Tutor Gu came back purely for the family. If Grand Tutor Gu is in good health, it is possible to come out to preside over the court. It depends on whether Mr. Lin is doing things in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. If His Majesty is unhappy, I'm afraid you don't have to take charge of your errand, just concentrate on being your Minister of Personnel."
Lin Ke looked sad, and naturally he knew that a minister of the Ministry of Personnel had no privileges in the court. He was respected now mainly because he was the Shangshutai. The court's government orders, decisions and even personnel arrangements had to go through him, and others would not be able to neglect him. If there was no responsibilities from Shangshutai, he would just be an ordinary minister of the Ministry of Rites and would be trampled very much.
When he is in power, many people offend him. When he loses power, he will be in trouble.
Lin Ke also understood what Han Jian meant to be in line with His Majesty’s wishes. It was not the Empress’s meaning at all. It was clearly talking about the Emperor’s Mansion. After all, now that the Empress once again handed over the court to the Emperor’s Mansion, it was equivalent to saying that the Emperor’s Mansion covered the sky with only one hand. What arrangement would the court make and who would come out to be the chief minister for the dynasty was completely decided by the King of the East.
Han Jian didn't want to talk to Lin Ke, so he directly issued an order to expel guests, and Lin Ke had to leave.
Han Jian looked at the sky and it was almost sunset. He returned to the East Prince Mansion. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a person standing at the entrance of the hall, which was Fayi.
"Master?" Han Jian felt a little relieved when he saw Fa Yi. After all, Fa Yi has been doing things for Yang Rui. Fa Yi's own dragon is not seen, and it is rare to see it once. In addition to being closer to taking advantage of the situation, he just asked about Yang Rui's situation.
"Please to Your Highness."
Because Han Cui and others were present, Fa had to ceremonially ritual. Before, because she showed some disrespectful attitude in front of Han Jian, she was criticized by Han Song and was directly taught by Yang Rui.
"Jian'er, your master came to find you something, saying that you were in the military office and you were back just as you were about to leave." Han Cui came up and said with a smile.
Han Jian nodded and expressed his understanding, "Sanniang, I will talk to the master inside and I will not accompany you."
Han Cui smiled and said, "Then go, let your master have a family dinner together tonight."
Han Jian agreed and arrived at the east wing with Fa Yi, which was also a place where Fa Yi and other relatives lived in the East Prince's Mansion.
When he got into the room, Han Jian was not polite, and went forward and hugged Fa Yi. Fa Yi was obviously not very adapted to Han Jian's enthusiasm for a while. He was very cramped, but lacked the experience of coping. He left his whole body to Han Jian to mercy, and he didn't even seem to move.
"Master, I'm just about to find you." Han Jian hugged Fa Yi and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile, "Why is the master here this time? Is it for Your Majesty's business?"
"Well." Fa Yi's cheeks were also a little flushed. Although she was nearly thirty years old, she didn't understand many things and no one would come to teach her. She looked more like a young girl in front of Han Jian, and even Wen'er could be called her master. "Today I went to the palace to find Your Majesty, and found that Your Majesty was not in the palace, so I came out to ask you."
"Your Majesty goes to the Taimiao to think about his mistakes, but the master doesn't know?" Han Jian didn't want to say it clearly, so he had to pretend to be confused.
"Taimiao is not here either." Fa Yi said, "It may be that His Majesty is in danger."
Han Jian sighed softly, "Your Majesty wants to leave, he will also leave by himself. The palace is full of guards. How could Your Majesty say that it is dangerous if there is danger? Since Your Majesty is not in the palace, does the master know where Your Majesty may be going?"
Fa Yi shook his head, looking at a loss.
Han Jian couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Yang Rui knew very well about his relationship with Fa Yi. He knew that Fa Yi could not hide things in front of him. If he said to Fa Yi, it was equivalent to telling him. Therefore, Yang Rui had not passed the qi of Fa Yi at all, so that Fa Yi still did not know about it when the incident happened.
"Master, why not find someone to investigate. Your Majesty is missing, and it is not a small matter. If Your Majesty is not in the palace for a long time, it will cause many things like last time. I may not be able to hold on to the court anymore." Han Jian said as if complaining.
Fa Yi nodded and said, "Okay."
With Fayi's help, Han Jian's heart was much more at ease. This time he saw Fayi, he felt a little more pity. After all, Fayi was wandering outside and had to run around, but he never settled down.
"Master, don't leave tonight. Sanniang also said she would keep you for a family dinner, not to mention that we haven't seen each other for a long time. My disciple misses you very much and wants to tell the master the pain of missing you."
Han Jian said as he leaned his head forward, but before he could meet Fa Yi, Fa Yi gently pushed him.
"Master..." Han Jian frowned like a child.
Fa Yi smiled lightly, but he also said as if he was angrily saying: "There is no positive shape." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
