The Child Emperor

The palace guards are a short name. They belong to the Sword and Halberd Battalion, one of the eight battalions of the Suwei, along with a large number of ceremonial guards in the palace, but they are not under the command of the general of the Suwei.

Guard Wang He's official official position is Jianji Camp Zuomen Colonel, a sixth-grade, not very high-ranking, when his guards are full, they can reach 200 people, and they are directly ordered by the officials in the palace, usually the Zhongsi Supervisor, or Imperial Majian, Zhongchang Attendant.

Like other bodyguards, Wang He has an innocent family background, and after many trials, he was qualified to protect the emperor and became one of the five guard leaders.

Yang Feng trusted this person and recommended it to the emperor very seriously. Han Ruzi also had great expectations for him, so after the second watch, Zhang Youcai asked Wang He to call and bypassed Liu Jie, the supervisor of the Central Division.

"Nine times out of ten, the treasure seal has already fallen into Wang Jianhuo's hands. You go and get it back. Bring as many people as you need. The deadline I give you is before midnight." Han Ruzi couldn't put all his hopes on the criminals. .

"Yes." Wang He was a taciturn person, kneeling on the ground to take orders.

"Keep it a secret."

"Yes."

"Bao Xi was in the hands of a female bodyguard before. You may recognize her as Meng E. If possible, find her whereabouts." Han Ruzi still didn't understand why Meng E absconded with the seal, "I want to live. ' he added.

"Yes." Wang He exited the tent without asking a word or mentioning how many people he would bring.

Zhang Youcai served the emperor to change his clothes, "This ugly king is too daring. He refuses to return the treasure seal, and dares to bet with His Majesty that even if he wins, His Majesty can still kill him, right?"

"Some people don't want their name or their lives. I have to win against them." Not long after Han Ruzi regained the throne, it was the time when he was most sensitive to imperial power. What are the things.

Without a word, Han Ruzi didn't sleep very well. He got up early and read the copy of the memorial sent from the capital for a while. Yang Feng's approval was in good order, basically in line with the emperor's wishes.

The previous unfortunate puppet emperor was buried together with Taifei Cui and the champion Hou, and his identity was Xiaoyaohou.

At first, officials suggested that the emperor's biological mother be the second empress dowager. The approval did not agree. Han Ruzi knew that this was also what his mother meant, so he was not in a hurry. It will be more real by then.

There is a copy Yang Feng specially marked "Yu Lan" with a red pen. The memorial was from the Ministry of Rites. The matter was not a big deal. The Hun envoys had been stranded for a long time and asked to leave Beijing and return to the grassland several times. The Ministry of Rites felt that they could agree. Back, leaving four people sent to the emperor's camp.

The Huns are going to war again.

Da Chanyu seems to be sincerely wanting to form an alliance with Da Chu, but the Huns have been used to bullying the soft and fearing the hard for many years. Once Da Chu shows any signs of weakness, the Huns cavalry can't help but want to go south to loot. The Ugly King is right. The Xiongnu had to be defeated and the border peaceful for three to five years before they could continue the peace talks.

Han Ruzi intends to make this an issue of the court meeting this morning, and will discuss it with Chai Yue and others in the afternoon.

Time was pressing and there were so many things to do. Han Ruzi couldn't be busy even if he didn't eat or sleep. When he met the accompanying officials, he asked Liu Zeqin, the minister of households, to preside over the daily morning court. This was not an appointment. There is no official title, but it means a great future. When Liu Zeqin thanked her, she tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart.

Han Ruzi hopes that this will make Liu Shilang more active when supervising the opening of the warehouse.

However, the officials accompanying them were of relatively low rank and did not dare to express their opinions on major events, and could not make any useful suggestions regarding the threat of the Huns.

At the end of the court meeting, the criminal officer Zhang Jinglai reported the situation. He had dug up a lot of clues and swore to ensure that the treasure seal would be recovered before noon tomorrow.

There were too many copies of the memorial sent from the capital. Han Ruzi continued to browse. The King of the East Sea was sent in by the eunuch Liu Jie and approached slowly, waiting for the emperor to make time to talk to him.

"How is it?" Han Ruzi asked without raising his head. These memorials are too trivial. Supervisor Yuan Lin wanted to dig a pond, but the Ministry of Rites thought it was of little use. , why don't you take the opportunity to dredge the river...

You come and go from all sides, and there are more than 30 memorials accumulated. Han Ruzi is very impressed.

"It was Tan Diao's idea to ask the ugly king for help. He wrote a letter, no, he sent a letter without a word in the letter, and asked someone to hand it over to the ugly king. Bar."

Han Ruzi couldn't help but looked up and smiled.

"What's wrong?" Donghai King asked inexplicably.

"It's nothing, this is the second letter without a word I've heard. It seems that Jianghu people like this kind of thing." Han Ruzi heard similar things from Yang Feng last time. A hero wrote a letter without words and entrusted it to his wife.

"Well, no matter what, the Tan family bowed their heads to the ugly king, and they didn't hide it. The world knows it. From this point of view, the ugly king really can't kill the Tan family." The King of Donghai stared at the emperor, "The whole Luoyang city is full of uproar. , It is said that His Majesty made a bet with the Ugly King to see who can find Baoxi first, isn't it true?"

"The ugly king suggested a bet, but I didn't accept it."

The East Sea King still stared at the emperor, "Can the game still exist?"

Only the King of the East Sea can understand the emperor's thoughts. Han Ruzi waited for a while and said, "If it were you, would you refuse?"

"It's impossible to replace it with me." King Donghai cautiously avoided, but he did have some thoughts in his heart, "But I can make a little suggestion, His Majesty should not have summoned the Ugly King in the first place. Although he is close to the royal family, after all It's just a grass-roots citizen who can lift him to the sky in one meeting. As long as he opens his mouth, His Majesty will accept it or reject it, and it will be a dilemma. Chai Yue can give His Majesty a problem."

"It's better to be in a dilemma than a clear and a dark one." Han Ruzi didn't regret summoning the ugly king, nor would he take out his anger at Chai Yue, "That holy soldier has been hiding in the dark, I hope he can stand up and bet with me. "

"Your Majesty is full of energy, and when you meet an enemy to kill an enemy, no one can match it." There is always a bit of sourness in the praise of the King of the East Sea. "What will you do after your Majesty wins? Kill the ugly king's family, or exile?"

The King of the East Sea was actually inquiring about the Tan family, and the fate of the ugly king was the fate of the Tan family.

Han Ruzi knew this clearly, and smiled: "The heroes of the rivers and lakes live by their names, and if they don't take their names, they just kill them, and they can't solve many problems. One after another, it has only been a few years, and the heroes have spread all over the world."

"That's true. I think at the beginning, the Tan family was only a big family of horse herders and businessmen. Apart from being scary ugly, the ugly king didn't have many chivalrous names. As a result, Emperor Wu took power to eradicate the old heroes, but they came out."

"Didn't the original name of the Tan family come from taking care of the family members of the slain heroes? The ugly king is probably the same."

Donghai Wang nodded, "It's a pity that these people are too obsessed with chivalrous names, or they are too stupid to listen to my advice and ask for help from the other heroic heroes, sigh, the Tan family is really... But the princess is very open to her. Saying that we would like to admit defeat, the Tan family and I will lose if we lose, and we should abide by the duty of our subjects from now on..."

It was not the Tan family that the King of Donghai wanted to save, but the princess alone.

Han Ruzi didn't answer, and suddenly said, "Do you like Donghai Kingdom?"

East Sea King's expression changed, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm thinking about whether to move you to the frontier, and the Huns are making a move again. Now the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Dai are guarding the frontier. The two kings are old and one king is young. ."

The King of the East Sea was stunned, his mind was spinning, thinking about the impact of this incident on himself, "It is a great honor to have the trust of Your Majesty, of course I have no opinion, I can go anywhere, I am afraid that my ability is insufficient and I will humiliate the saint. meaning."

Han Ruzi just said casually, he hadn't made a decision yet, and he didn't feel relieved that the important frontier town was handed over to the King of the East Sea, and he sighed, "The Huns in the north, the thieves in the south, and the refugees everywhere, everything is not difficult to solve. , but bumping into each other is a big problem."

"Southern pirates? Your Majesty wants to eradicate Yunmengze?"

"Yunmengze has become a place of refuge for heroes. The imperial court sees it loosely. Heroes invade Luxiang. The court has tightened their grip. Heroes who enter the lake are thieves. Only by cutting off the back path can heros be restrained."

The King of the East Sea laughed twice, "Your Majesty is really ambitious. I heard that when Emperor Wu sent troops to clear Yunmengze several times, they were unsuccessful because of the dangerous terrain."

Han Ruzi sighed, "I have no generals in my hands, King of the East Sea, I didn't expect that after becoming a real emperor, there are still not many people available for civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty. Is it because I am not sure about people? Or am I not good at using people?"

The King of the East Sea only laughed dryly. The emperor's topic was too sensitive, and he did not dare to answer.

Han Ruzi didn't expect to get an answer, "First of all, you have to hire people, and then you can pick them up. After these three major troubles are resolved, some talents will always be revealed."

"Great plan." The King of the East Sea praised, but he was thinking in his heart, what the emperor's intention was when he revealed these words to himself.

Shortly after noon, Han Ruzi called Cui Hong, Chai Yue, Fang Daye and more than ten generals to discuss the matter of resisting the Huns.

Cui Hong knew that he had not yet been fully trusted, so he seldom spoke. Fang Daye's temper was even less talk and more actions, and he even said it when he did it. Only Chai Yue talked freely, "Last year's battle of Iron Broken City, the Huns lost. If you are not convinced, you do need to fight again. But the southern and northern armies have been fighting for a long time, and it is not appropriate to move. Your Majesty has already ordered the recruitment of refugees from various places.

"They are all civilians, can they fight so quickly?" Han Ruzi knew very well that no matter how many rabble people there were, they were not as good as a few elite divisions.

"If you go deep into the grasslands to pursue the Huns, these people will not be able to do so. If you are defending the city and waiting for the battle, you only need to use veterans to lead new recruits, and you can still fight." Chai Yue had a plan for how many troops were stationed in the frontier cities and how much they could absorb. Recruits, the calculations are clear.

The others could only nod their heads while listening.

Liu Jie, the supervisor of the Central Division, suddenly broke in. Han Ruzi had already instructed him not to disturb him if he had to do something important. He looked up at Liu Jie and hoped that he did not bring trivial matters such as digging ponds in the gardens of the capital.

Liu Jie walked quickly to the table and gave an urgent document to the emperor, with a serious expression, obviously it was really important.

Han Ruzi opened the document and glanced at it, then stood up and looked at the confused generals, "King Ying declared himself emperor in the East China Sea, and Shangguan Sheng called himself a general and is marching towards Qi."

Everyone was surprised. Shangguan Sheng was already dead. They all saw the head. How could another one suddenly appear in the East China Sea?
