The Child Emperor

Lin Kunshan was locked in a small courtyard and was calculating how long he could live. A group of people dragged him out and hurriedly brought him to the East Sea King, forcing him to kneel down and calling him "Your Majesty".

The King of the East Sea was hiding among the guards, and when he saw Lin Kunshan, he only asked, "Are there any of you in the palace?"

Lin Kunshan once hinted to the King of the East China Sea that those who hoped for qi could control some affairs in the palace. The King of the East China Sea still remembered that now the battle was stalemate, and the Southern Army had not been able to break through the imperial city, so he remembered this matter again.

Lin Kunshan knelt on the ground, looked up at the "Emperor", and shook his head blankly, as if he was convinced by the emperor's prestige, so excited that he was speechless.

The King of the East Sea kicked the watcher away with one foot, and he ignored him and did not kill him until Han Ruzi requested that the King of the East China Sea negotiate in person, and he called Lin Kunshan again.

King Donghai would never go to see Han Ruzi in the military camp. In his opinion, it was a self-inflicted trap, and he had to find someone to replace him. "Isn't the person looking for qi the best at lobbying? You go to see Han Ruzi and persuade him to join forces with him. I join forces, and I am willing to give up the throne to him."

Lin Kunshan accepted the task with only one requirement, he had to go out of the city alone, without any guards or monitors. He successfully met Marquis Juan, and in one sentence he conveyed the meaning of the King of the East Sea, and then mentioned the Emperor's Seal and the Emperor's Sword.

Cai Xinghai didn't sleep for long, and came out to supervise the intersection again. Han Ruzi took Lin Kunshan to the tent to ask questions, with two guards beside him.

Han Ruzi didn't rush to speak. After sitting for a while, he said to Lin Kunshan, who was standing opposite: "Those two things are in your hands?"

"Of course not."

"Then you are here to play with me?"

Lin Kunshan laughed dryly, "How can I have the guts? Did the Hou Tireless notice that Shangguan Sheng made King Ying emperor in the palace, but he never issued an imperial edict, which is a bit strange, right?"

Han Ruzi remained silent.

"The battle in the city has reached the point where everything is used to the extreme. Shangguan Sheng did not issue the imperial decree, and there was only one reason why he could not issue it: the palace was not short of ink, ink, ink, ink, and ink, the emperor's eunuchs, and there was only one thing missing, the treasure seal. "

"This is all your speculation, Lin Kunshan, what I need now is not speculation."

Lin Kunshan thought for a while, and stopped talking about his guess when he said, "I can go to the palace to find the whereabouts of the treasure seal, and the sword of Taizu. This sword is not of much use to others, but it has some meaning to Hou Juan?"

"How did you enter the palace? How did you find the treasure seal?" Han Ruzi believed that Shangguan Sheng must have searched the palace.

"I have my own way." Lin Kunshan found that Hou Juan was a little interested, and began to play tricks again, "I just want to know if Hou Juan wants these two things?"

Han Ruzi closed his lips tightly. He knew very well that this was definitely not what Lin Kunshan "just wanted to know".

"When things are extreme, things turn against each other. The Great Chu has been in chaos for so long, and it is time to stabilize. The battle has only been going on for two days, and the city is already in a tragic situation. There is a shortage of water and food, especially no vegetables. Many people's houses are occupied by soldiers, even by Destroyed, the west of the palace to the west city has almost become an open space. Is Marquis Tien sure that this will end?"

Han Ruzi stood up, "Everyone is sure, the key is who you choose to believe, and what do you want to gain from it?"

Lin Kunshan laughed, "Marquis Tien, I choose Marquis Tien, as for what I want to get out of it... Hopeful people are still too fragile to withstand strong winds and waves, I hope Marquis Tien will be able to pardon our crimes after returning to the throne. From then on, they will only go to rivers and lakes, not to go to temples.”

Wang Qi was considered to be the instigator of King Qi's rebellion. Although he could also make public appearances, it was a trouble after all to carry such a charge. The government said that he would be arrested without reporting it to the court.

But Lin Kunshan's request was so low that Han Ruzi couldn't believe it, and said, "Bring these two things, and I'll give you your innocence."

"Is this the emperor's promise?"

"Yes."

Lin Kunshan said goodbye, and before leaving, he said a few words of emotion: "Those who look for qi will also lose their eyes. It's okay to make mistakes in ordinary people, but it's unforgivable to see the wrong Hou Juan..."

Not long after Lin Kunshan left, Cai Xinghai asked to see him, "A group of spies came out of the north gate of the capital, and they went back after observation, and the Su Guards did not send anyone out again."

Han Ruzi snorted, but his mind was not on this, he stared at Cai Xinghai and weighed left and right in his heart.

Cai Xinghai didn't know why, so he looked down at the armor on his body, as if nothing was wrong.

"Brother Cai..."

Cai Xinghai thumped and knelt down, "Please take back this title, I can't bear it."

Han Ruzi smiled, "Cai Governor, please get up."

Cai Xinghai got up just now, "What is the order of Hou Tien?"

"I have a very important task for you." Han Ruzi couldn't find any other helpers, and Cai Xinghai was the only trusted person around him.

Cai Xinghai showed a happy expression, "Let's talk about it, Marquis Tien, whether to attack the north gate or block the west gate, although the number of the northern army is small, if it is used properly, it can also achieve miraculous results."

Han Ruzi shook his head, there was an army coming behind him, there was no need to pursue "miracle effects", "None of them, I want you to go to the city and be alone."

"Entering the city?" Cai Xinghai didn't understand.

"The Southern Army and the Su Wei Army faced off in the city, and there is no threat to the outside of the city. There are a group of people who support me, most of them are scholars, unarmed, trapped in the city and unable to get out. I am worried that they will be hurt and need someone to go. protect them."

"I'm willing to go, but..." Cai Xinghai patted his stomach, he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of delaying the major event of Hou Juan.

"The loach should all be in Nancheng. There can be hundreds of people. You can go to the Shengrong Inn and find the loach, and you can find them."

"The old Shengrong store? I know where it is. No problem. I will set off at dawn and borrow a set of clothes from the Northern Army. It is easy to sneak into the city."

Han Ruzi wanted to explain more, but he didn't want to put more pressure on Cai Xinghai, "Self-protection is the most important thing. If you see Yang Feng, follow his orders."

Han Ruzi believed that Yang Feng must have something in his hands, and the most urgent task now is to get in touch with Yang Feng, but he did not specifically emphasize this point to Cai Xinghai, not because he doubted the loyalty of the fat eunuch, but because he did not want to let the other party take too much risk.

It was soon dawn, the Su Wei army did not make a sneak attack, and Mrs. Cui did not lead the army to attack in person.

When Cai Xinghai set off wearing the armor of the Confederate army, Lin Kunshan, the watcher, had just passed around the northwest corner of the capital.

The western city was turned into a large military camp, the people were driven away, some houses were torn down, and wood, stone and soil were used to block the streets and city walls.

The King of the East Sea lives within the west gate, and if something changes, he will be able to leave the city on horseback.

The original owner of the house was a businessman, and there were copper coins and scattered gold and silver piled up on the ground. He was going to escape with these things, but before he could pack them up, he was taken out and thrown on the street.

The King of the East Sea didn't care about this amount of money, and Mrs. Cui didn't even care about it, so he didn't even send someone to clean it up.

As soon as Lin Kunshan came in, the East Sea King left his chair and asked, "How is it? Does Han Ruzi believe you?"

Lin Kunshan shook his head, "Marquis Tien doesn't believe me, but he thinks he's safe, so he's always right."

"I knew he would be fooled." King Donghai turned to Cui Hong who was sitting on the side, "Uncle, it's time to make a decision."

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Cui Hong's expression was gloomy. At first, he just wanted to carry the corpse to inquire about the crime and find out what happened in the city. Unexpectedly, the East Sea King actually occupied the west gate. He even burned down the camp in the rear. He thought he could win in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly fell into a stalemate.

The longer the stalemate lasted, the more detrimental it would be to the Confederate army. Even if there were no Tien Hou eyes outside the city, reinforcements from all over the country would come to overwhelm the Confederate army.

"I don't have time to think about it." The King of Donghai suppressed the anger in his heart, "I think back then, when the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Qi were fighting for the world, Chu and Zhao fought fiercely, and Qi was watching on the sidelines, coveting the benefits of the fisherman, what did the Taizu and the then King of Zhao do? of?"

Cui Hong was silent, and the King of the East Sea raised his voice: "Taizu and King Zhao temporarily stopped, attacked from the north and south, and defeated the state of Qi. If there was no such battle, Taizu would have to resign for at least three or five years. Han Ruzi thought he could sit down. Watching tigers fight in the mountains, come out with two tigers, see if he can still sit still?"

The King of the East Sea thought this was a coup, so he seemed very excited.

Cui Hong thought for a while, "In the beginning, Chu and Zhao Zhengfeng retreated a hundred miles each, and then sent troops at the same time to attack Guqi, so you don't have to worry too much about the opponent's sneak attack. But the southern army and the Su Wei army confronted each other in the city, and it was impossible for either of them. If I withdraw from the city, if I send troops to attack Marquis Juan, and Shangguan Sheng raises his troops to attack me, it will not be Marquis Juan, but the Southern Army."

Shangguan Sheng will definitely have the same worries, the two sides who doubt each other can't work together.

"But if it goes on like this, neither I nor the King of England will be able to be the emperor." The King of Donghai was a little impatient, "There is still a Northern Army behind Han Ruzi. Once the Northern Army arrives, even if we join forces with the Su Wei Army, we will not be able to fight. "

Lin Kunshan stepped forward and said, "Let me persuade Shangguan Sheng. The situation is pressing, and both sides have to make concessions."

Cui Hong pondered for a while, "Then trouble Mr. Lin to take a trip. If we want to attack the Marquis of Juan, we will have to send our troops by noon tomorrow at the latest. Marquis Tien claims that the Northern Army will arrive in three days, and I am worried that it will arrive sooner. Some."

Mrs. Cui wrote a text message and sent a general to take Mr. Lin to find the two censors. Through Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi, they tried to enter the palace to negotiate with Shangguan Sheng.

When there were only two uncles and nephews left, the King of the East Sea was not so confident, "Can Lin Kunshan persuade Shangguan Sheng?"

"As long as he wants to, Lin Kunshan still has the ability." Taifu Cui is more optimistic about the hopeful, "Is Hua Bin's subordinates available? Last time, he sent three so-called masters to assassinate Juan Hou, but they didn't succeed."

"Don't worry, I've seen the skills of those people, no problem. I climbed into the palace tonight, and when Shangguan Sheng sent troops out of the city, they took the key to open the palace gate. When the time comes to destroy Han Ruzi outside and capture King Ying inside, the throne will be mine alone, um, also belong to the Cui family."

The uncle and nephew smiled at each other.

"Is there any news about your mother?" Cui Hong asked.

Donghai Wang looked cold, "It's useless to worry, so I think she has been murdered by the queen mother, and no one can stop me from taking the palace."

Although this was his nephew, Cui Hong was still thinking that he had to be careful when dealing with the new emperor in the future.

Cai Xinghai sneaked into the west gate and was trying to find a way to go to Nancheng when Lin Kunshan had already been allowed to enter the palace.

Lin Kunshan mentioned Baoxi to Juan Hou, but did not reveal the real plan of the East Sea King, volunteered to be a lobbyist for Mrs. Cui, but did not point out that the Baoxi was probably lost.

For him, the general trend is like water, no matter how it flows, as long as he gets the treasure seal, those who look for qi can be invincible.
