The Child Emperor

Han Ruzi recognized Cui Xiaojun's handwriting and understood the meaning of the letter

The frontier is chaotic, and the palace is prepared. It is advisable for your husband to submit a letter to ask for war, and you must not take risks.

"There is preparation in the palace", what is prepared is not "war on the frontier", but a conspiracy planned by the Cui family, so she advises Hou Juan to "do not take risks".

A letter handed over by a stranger could not be written too clearly. Han Ruzi held the letter in his hand and asked Ma Da, "No one came back with you?"

Ma laughed and said: "There is a kid who insists on coming with me, but I don't agree, he is still quietly following me, who am I? I was a little dizzy in the city, went out of the city into the wild, and got rid of him after a few circles. already."

Ma Da was elated, but Han Ruzi couldn't help laughing and laughing. It turned out that Ma Da came back so late in order to get rid of the stalking.

Han Ruzi had no choice but to blame himself for not uttering the original order clearly. He turned to look, Chao Hua and the others had already entered within a hundred paces, and there was a man beside him wearing a tattered monk's robe, the mad monk Guangding.

Han Ruzi walked towards the boat by the water, and the King of the East Sea ran to the front to stop him, "What are you going to do? This is the end of the matter, you can't change your mind."

"The queen mother has been prepared, and there is absolutely no hope of success in this uprising."

"Ha, the empress dowager is prepared, so the Cui family doesn't? You don't have to worry."

Han Ruzi was even more worried, and said coldly, "Get out of the way."

The King of the East Sea shook his head and refused to give way, "You need courage at this time. You think too much and do too little, and someone else has to make the decision for you."

The King of the East Sea beckoned, and more than a dozen nominal soldiers gathered over, with their swords in their hands.

The King of the East Sea sent away thirty guards, and secretly summoned some helpers. The number of people who came to Hebianzhai in the past two days was so many and mixed that even Chao Yongsi, an old fisherman who lived by the lake for a long time, could not tell the origin of each person.

Han Ruzi took a few steps back, and he also beckoned people. The real volunteers came running, Ma Da was not afraid at all, and roared at the person on the opposite side.

There were still some volunteer soldiers on the beach, twenty-seven or eight people, all looking at Lin Kunshan.

Lin Kunshan had previously claimed that there were twenty martial arts masters in the stockade, but he deliberately said less.

Among the three parties, Han Ruzi had the largest number of righteous soldiers, but the weakest fighting power. Many people didn't even understand what happened and whispered to each other.

Donghai Wang said: "Mr. Lin, you can't stand on the side and watch the play, you must choose to support one side."

Lin Kunshan said with a smile: "Everyone is on the same boat, and you should work together. If you want me to say, don't worry about the King of the East Sea, and His Majesty don't shrink back. At least give a reason. Master Guangding is here, just to make it clear."

The mad monk was wearing a tattered top, but his face did not show any madness. He stood outside the circle and glanced left and right. Instead, he had an air of arrogance, "What's going on? Before anything happened, should we kill each other first?"

Han Ruzi believed in Cui Xiaojun, even more than in Yang Feng. Once he confirmed that the Queen Mother had taken precautions, he immediately felt that there were signs of many things, and the situation was urgent. He couldn't help thinking carefully, and he pointed to the team of crazy monks and said loudly: "You guys There are traitors among them!"

Han Ruzi's eyes swept over quickly. He once cheated out a spy among a group of defectors, but this trick is useless at the moment. There are not many people brought by Guangding, and he has a total of thirteen people, all of whom are powerful inside and outside the capital. People in the rivers and lakes looked at each other, all showing surprise, but no one showed panic.

Chao Hua and more than a dozen people were real volunteers. As soon as they found out that something was wrong, they immediately ran back to Han Ruzi's side and added some strength to him.

A person beside Guangding sneered: "We put our heads in our allegiance to the emperor, but the emperor suspects that we have two hearts. This deal is really worth it."

Guangding raised his hand to signal everyone to stay where he was. He strode forward, nodded to Lin Kunshan, stood a few steps away from Han Ruzi, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, remember me."

"certainly."

"Am I a traitor?"

Han Ruzi was silent, he didn't believe anyone now.

Those people in the rivers and lakes are fried. Guangding has a high status in the rivers and lakes. Doubting him is tantamount to doubting everyone. They originally came with the idea of ​​helping the emperor, and they are arrogant and arrogant. He sneered and spat on the ground.

The most anxious person is the King of the East Sea. Offending these Jianghu people, Beijing North can’t make trouble, and can’t lead the North Army. It’s even more difficult for the South Army to quickly capture the capital. He raised his arms and said loudly: “Everyone calm down. , listen to me."

The top of the light didn't make a sound, and the others were quiet.

The East Sea King stared at Han Ruzi angrily, and had to speak for him: "Your Majesty thanks all the righteous people for coming, you are taking risks, Your Majesty is taking even more risks, and it is inevitable that I will be a little nervous..."

Han Ruzi was indeed a little nervous, but the reason was different from what the King of the East Sea said, and asked Guangding: "Have the rivers and lakes been calm this year?"

This sentence was inexplicable, and the King of the East Sea shut up and quietly signaled the guards to get closer.

Guangding was also stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Fortunately, some people are rich, some are broke, some are alive, some are dead, and there are a group of people who are beyond their own capabilities, want to share the worries of the court, and want to do something for the people of the world. , Jianghu, it has always been like this, you say calm is not calm, but you say storms are still those before."

Han Ruzi pretended not to understand the sarcasm in the mad monk's words. In normal times, if there were not so many people around, he might be able to calm down, but now he just thinks about how to convince the mad monk and others as soon as possible.

"King Qi's rebellion was defeated, how many people were arrested by the court? How many people were killed?" Han Ruzi asked loudly. Less from the Jianghu people."

Han Ruzi looked at Lin Kunshan, and most of the arrested Jianghu people were related to those who watched Qi.

"In the palace change last year, people from Jianghu participated in it. Bu Hengru is still in prison, and the whereabouts of Gui Yuehua, the ghost hand, are unknown."

Han Ruzi closed his mouth and looked at everyone. A few people understood what he wanted to say, but they didn't necessarily agree with the conclusion hidden behind him. Han Ruzi's eyes fell on the mad monk again, and he realized that he only needed to convince this person.

Han Ruzi folded his fists and cupped his hands, "Master, please forgive me for my rudeness just now. Master has been away from the world for many years, and he will never betray his comrades. I also ask Master to think again. Has the imperial court ever had such magnanimity and forgiveness for those who rebelled? "

Guangding did not speak, and a Jianghu person he brought loudly said from the back: "This is wrong, we didn't participate in the palace change last year, why did the court arrest us? As for the ghost hand Gui Yuehua, the court is not Have you been chasing him?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, Han Ruzi shook his head, still staring at the mad monk Guangding, "It's not like this, for the court, the rivers and lakes are a whole, and dozens of people from the rivers and lakes participate in the palace change, then the whole rivers and lakes have problems. It seems... as if you were oppressed by the officials, do you hate all the officials?"

More people nod.

Han Ruzi felt that he was about to succeed, "The imperial court's idea is the same as yours, and it has not been a long time to start with the Jianghu people. There may only be one reason. I am figuring out the details and want to catch you all."

Han Ruzi paused, "Are you still impressed by Emperor Wu's execution of the world's heroes?"

That was a few decades ago. Guangding and others were still teenagers at the time, but their memories were extremely deep, and their expressions changed.

The King of the East Sea stepped forward and said: "So this uprising must be successful. If this opportunity is lost, the entire river and lake will wither for another ten years."

Han Ruzi explained for a long time, but was used by the King of the East Sea. He hurriedly said: "To find out the details, there must be someone in the know. The imperial court has either planted spies in the rivers and lakes, or bought a traitor."

Han Ruzi glanced at the people around Donghai King and Lin Kunshan. There were impostors in such a makeshift army, not to mention the Jianghu people who wanted to rise up in northern Beijing.

The King of Donghai only cares about one thing.

The mad monk Guangding laughed and cursed all his life, and it was rare for him to fall into contemplation. At least ten times as many people..."

"That's enough." The King of the East Sea said first, "Beijing North and Jingnan rise at the same time, within three days, the major event has been decided, the court is... Your Majesty, you are all great heroes, even if the Queen Mother finds out about you What about the details?"

When the king of Donghai was in a hurry, even the queen mother said it.

Han Ruzi was about to speak, when Guangding laughed suddenly, raised his hand and rubbed his bald head, "It's really troublesome, it makes sense for the monk not to ask about the world."

Guangding turned and walked towards Lin Kunshan, "Let's talk to the two brothers. You are the smarter when it comes to this kind of thing."

The two walked a few dozen steps away and chatted in a low voice, while the others stayed where they were.

The King of Donghai asked: "Who gave you the letter? Yang Feng? He is the Queen Mother's person, don't you understand? The Queen Mother had a premonition that something was going to happen, and she knew she couldn't resist it, so she asked Yang Feng to cast doubt on it. , so delaying time. I can't let you be fooled, the Cui family, Jianghu, these volunteer soldiers, but they are all betting on you."

At first, Han Ruzi just wanted to convince Guangding to say those words, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he swept his eyes, and suddenly saw a slightly impressed face among the Jianghu people brought by Guangding, " Are you Kuang Taiyi from Sanliuxiang?"

The man was startled, "It's me... Does Your Majesty remember me?"

When Han Ruzi first moved into the Marquis Mansion, he was besieged. Kuang Taiyi was one of the heroes of Luxiang hired by Yang Feng. It was dark and Han Ruzi only had a vague impression, so he just recognized it.

"Of course I remember." Han Ruzi smiled.

"I wasn't bought by the imperial court." Kuang Taiyi defended himself, now is not a good time to get along with the emperor.

"Of course you are not." Han Ruzi just hoped to win over one more person at a critical moment, and did not doubt him.

The crazy monk Guangding and Lin Kunshan came back, and the monk was still rubbing the top of his head, but his mind was made, "Everyone is here, we can't die without a problem, then we won't be able to walk on the rivers and lakes in the future. The uprising will be at midnight tonight. , please prepare the emperor to be enthroned again, it doesn't matter if you remember our credit, I just hope that your majesty can think of the people of the world in the future."

Han Ruzi couldn't think of anything to persuade, Donghai Wang heaved a sigh of relief, Lin Kunshan nodded to Han Ruzi, they had agreed before that they would hand over the Donghai King to Guangding, and he would keep his promise.

Things had to go according to the original plan, but Han Ruzi became more and more uneasy. He was about to raise an objection desperately, and a person walked out behind him, "Wait, let's find the traitor first."

"Who are you?" Donghai King asked angrily.

The one who took off the hat on his head, bowed his hands to the mad monk, "Does the monk recognize me?"

"Hey, cook with two knives, even if I don't recognize you, the scar on my body recognizes you."

The two seemed to have grudges, but they didn't care, shouting loudly: "I know who the traitor is, stand up for yourself!"

Han Ruzi felt dizzy.
