The Child Emperor

Han Ruzi chose two messengers.

The first was Jin Chunzhong, who showed obvious interest in joining the Rebel Army. The most important thing was that the Jin family had nothing to do with the hopefuls, and it was a complete accident that they were involved in this matter.

"Xiaochunfang Zuixianlou, there is a cook there, who is called 'don't die', if you go to see him, say that I let you go. If he doesn't ask anything, you don't need to say anything, go back immediately, if he Ask me, please tell him the truth?"

"You don't need to hide anything?" Jin Chunzhong was very happy to receive this mission and was eager to try it, as if he was about to run to the capital.

"No, you can answer whatever he asks."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Wait, be careful with everything, Chai Yun's body may have been found in the city, you..."

"Change your clothes, change your name...I'll be careful."

"You have to keep it a secret, don't tell others your purpose for entering the city."

Jin Chunzhong left as soon as he said it, and went out to find a righteous soldier who recognized his way and asked him to take him to the official road.

The second messenger is Donkey Xiaoer, a simple and reckless little man who is less likely to be suspected than Jin Chunzhong, and more likely to have bad things. Han Ruzi hesitated before choosing him.

Among the rebels, Chao's father and son were greatly influenced by the hopeful people, and the contact time with others was too short. After much deliberation, only Donkey was available.

"What's your name?"

"Donkey boy."

"You must have a real name, a real name?"

"It's the donkey boy."

Before assigning the task, Han Ruzi regretted it a little, but he really had no more choice, "What's your surname?"

"Well... the last name is Ma."

"Yes, this is your real surname. What's your first name? How did your parents call you when you were young?"

"Donkey boy."

"I give you a name, will you accept it?"

Donkey Xiao'er was overjoyed, "It's good to dare to be affectionate, and you need to be a little more majestic."

"Your surname is Ma. If you succeed in Ma, you can call Ma Chenggong."

Donkey boy shook his head, "Not majestic enough."

He was ruthlessly rejected when he was given a name for the first time, and Han Ruzi scratched his head, "One Ma Pingchuan, Ma Pingchuan? I don't like it either... Ma Ta Company, you should call Ma Ta..."

"Okay, I'll call Ma Da, I'm much more majestic than Donkey, haha."

"As long as...you like it." Han Ruzi said sternly: "Ma Da, I want to give you a task."

"Who is 'I'?"

"I am me, this is the emperor's self-proclaimed."

"Oh, then you might as well just say 'Emperor', I'll understand right away."

"Okay, the emperor has a task for you."

"Tell me, who to beat? Those robbers? I've seen them disgusting."

"No no, I'll let you go into the city to find someone."

"Find someone... that's fine."

"You go to the Marquis Mansion in Beicheng..." Han Ruzi explained the location of Marquis Mansion in detail, and it took a lot of time for Ma Da to remember how to go after entering the city, "At the back door of Marquis Mansion, remember, It must be the back door, if you knock on the door, if someone opens the door, you say look for Du Chuanyun, if no one opens the door, just come back immediately."

"Okay, then what? Du Chuanyun, I remember, beat him or bring him back."

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You don't have to do anything, just meet him. Du Chuanyun is a young man, about the same age as me."

Han Ruzi believed that with the experience of Du's grandfather and grandson, he could inquire about everything from Martha, without his special instructions.

After everything was explained, Martha didn't set off immediately, but stretched out a hand, "Give it to me."

"Give you what?"

"Command Arrow."

"I ordered in person, no arrows needed."

"No, that's not what you said then."

Han Ruzi couldn't, so he had to give an arrow to Ma Da and reminded: "Return immediately after completing the task, and don't delay on the road, and the arrow must be handed back when it arrives."

"Can I not know about this kind of thing?" Ma Da also set off. It was already dark at this time. He and Jin Chunzhong were on the road overnight. If everything goes well, they will enter the city in the morning.

What happened next is unpredictable for Han Ruzi. The chef of Zuixianlou and Du Motian can find Yang Feng, but it is difficult to say whether they can bring back the news in time.

Han Ruzi didn't want to wait like this. Soon after night, he ordered the entire army to transfer to the riverside village with relatively better defenses, leaving only a few people in the fishing village.

Compared with the fishing village, the riverside village only has a circle of wooden fences, and Han Ruzi moved to the camp mainly to train the rebels.

He appointed Jin Chueduo's eldest brother Jin Chunbao as the left general, and changed Chao Hua to the right general, and each led twenty hundred troops.

Jin Chunbao used to be a member of the Yulin Guards, and he mastered the art of governing the army. Together with Chao Hua, he made three orders and five declarations of the marching rules, especially not allowing anyone to leave the team at will.

Marquis Guiyi and his three wives and concubines got on the only mule cart, groaning and sighing all the way, complaining about their children, and even more complaining that the death of Prince Du of the Huns was not the right time.

The fishing village is not far from the riverside village, and it is even closer by land. The entire army arrived at the destination before midnight. To Han Ruzi's surprise, there were not many people, but there were more than a dozen people.

Chao Yongsi, the chief bookkeeper, ordered someone to carry the nameplate, holding torches, and verifying team by team. It took more than half an hour to figure out that there were two groups of latecomers on the way. , just followed into the riverside village.

At the same time, there were some people running along the way.

Most of the volunteers were nearby villagers and were very familiar with the terrain. The sentinels were of no use, and two sentries also ran away.

After some inquiries, it was finally confirmed that the intruders were not spies, they were just too honest and didn't like to talk.

This was Han Ruzi's first army. The number was small, but the problems and loopholes were more messy than an army of 100,000 people. Even so, when the rebels entered the Hebian Village, they surprised a few people in the village.

Zhang Yanghao did not dare to return to Beijing, and stayed in the stockade to guard the three noble children. He was hesitant to kill or stay.

He has heard that a group of people ran to support the abolition of the emperor. This is one of the strategies of the hopeful. He doesn't care much, and concentrates on waiting for the action of the Cui family. In his opinion, that is the power that can decide the outcome.

But these rabble—they were indeed rabble, with worn-out clothes, no armor on their bodies, and no more than a hundred pieces of iron weapons—entered the village one after another in a neat line, with generals and orders, although there were some incidents on the way. Surprisingly, such a military appearance is still unimaginable.

After counting the number of people, Han Ruzi chose an open space to serve as a temporary "central army tent" and arranged for guards. .

The riverside stop can no longer be guarded as loosely as before. Sentinels and scouts must be stationed on land and water, and teams take turns to rest and be on duty.

Zhang Yanghao saw all this from a distance, and couldn't help but tremble with fear. When he returned to the house, he tiptoed. He no longer dared to treat Marquis Juan as a prisoner, let alone go to see him.

After such a tossing, it was not long before dawn, Han Ruzi slept for a while, and was awakened just after falling asleep.

Lin Kunshan came back and brought back a team of more than 30 people. This team was not robbers, not ordinary people. They all wore the exact same Tsing Yi robes, rode horses, carried bows and knives, and escorted a carriage. No one was allowed. near.

Lin Kunshan was even more surprised than Zhang Yanghao. When he left in the daytime, he saw a pile of loose sand. When he came back, he had to pass through numerous checkpoints. Not long ago, people who looked at Qi were regarded as immortals, but they suddenly turned into soldiers who did not recognize six relatives. No matter what. The "Emperor" must be notified before they can enter the village.

Han Ruzi ordered the release, and Lin Kunshan first sent the people in the carriage to an empty room, and then came to see the "emperor" alone.

"Grassman Lin Kunshan pays homage to His Majesty." Lin Kunshan is very observant, doubtful in his heart, but his outward attitude is more and more respectful.

This small army of several hundred people is actually far from being formed, and Han Ruzi is well aware of this, but it is good to surprise bystanders.

"Did someone bring it?"

"coming."

"Why don't you come see me?"

"Uh, the situation is special, I hope Your Majesty can move to see him."

Han Ruzi looked at the dozen guards on both sides and said, "Tell him that everything is back to normal now."

Lin Kunshan smiled, got up and retire, and only brought people back after a full quarter of an hour.

The King of the East Sea came, very reluctantly. This was very different from what he had expected before. He thought that a group of bewitched people gathered here and volunteered to work for the "emperor". The meaning of their existence is to go to the north of Beijing to provoke riots. , it doesn't matter whether he has combat power or not, as long as he can lead away part of the northern army, what he sees is a similar army.

He regretted it before he entered the village, but it was too late to change his mind. The thirty guards he brought were too few.

As soon as Lin Kunshan entered the room, he knelt down and gently pulled the corner of Donghai King's shirt. Donghai King glanced at the ragged guards on the left and right. He felt uneasy, but also felt that these people were vulnerable, and he was unsure in his heart. Finally, he Still kneeling.

Without waiting for King Donghai to speak, Han Ruzi stood up, strode up in front of him, raised him with a smile, and said to the guards, "This is my younger brother, King Donghai. From now on, seeing him will be like seeing me."

The guards immediately wiped the seriousness from their faces, greeted them enthusiastically, and even patted Donghai Wang on the shoulders affectionately, as if it was an ordinary gathering this time.

Donghai Wang squeezed out a smile and tried to avoid touching.

Han Ruzi asked the guards to step back, leaving only the East Sea King and Lin Kunshan.

"You really have some ability." The East Sea King praised, looking at the empty thatched house again, "You have tamed a group of servants in the palace, and you have tamed a group of desperadoes here."

"You are also very capable. You have devised such a complicated scheme. After a circle, I still can't escape."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then put away their smiles at the same time. The King of the East Sea said: "I've already come, let's start acting, there are many dreams in the night, and the longer you wait, the more prepared the Queen Mother will be."

"Don't worry, we have too few people now. Tell me about the situation in the capital for the past two days."

"There's nothing to say. Chai Yun and a few friends are missing. There are no dead or dead. They are looking for people all over the city. But there is no news about you, so I guess the queen mother is already alert. If you If you still want to take back the throne, don't hesitate any longer."
