The Child Emperor

Han Ruzi had been hungry for a whole day and night, but he had no appetite at all. He put down his chopsticks after eating something, eagerly hoping to have a few words with his mother, but the only people around him were King Donghai and two eunuchs.

After the trial of the imperial concubine, the emperor was sent to the warm pavilion to rest. The empress dowager and the ministers continued to discuss matters. Where did he escape to? Gui Yuehua's whereabouts are unknown after jumping out of the duty building...

All of this has nothing to do with Han Ruzi, and he returned to the original point and became the emperor in name.

"I sent the Taizu's sword away." He murmured, not knowing whether it was Liu Kunsheng or the Prime Minister Yin Wuhai who was hiding the truth.

"Father wants to make me the crown prince, father wants to make me the crown prince..." Not far away, the King of Donghai had repeated this sentence for countless times, and suddenly raised his head, wanting to rush towards the emperor, but was stopped by two eunuchs , he has not been punished, the only reason is that the power of the Cui family has not been destroyed.

"You heard what the imperial concubine said!" Donghai King said loudly, not caring about being cautious, "I should be the emperor!"

Han Ruzi suddenly felt that the king of the East China Sea was a bit pitiful, "Emperor Dowager's words are not trustworthy. Even if the father makes you the crown prince, it is only a stopgap measure. Wait until he subdues the ministers and eradicates the power of the Cui family..."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" The King of the East China Sea was furious, and the two eunuchs shook their heads slightly at him, signaling that he should not be disrespectful to the emperor. I stay by Father's side, no one can shake my crown prince's position, no one... Ah, it's not without warning that Father wants to make me the crown prince, Father was the King of the East China Sea before, and I am also the King of the East China Sea!"

Emperor Huan has passed away, and no one can guess his true thoughts. Before him, Emperor Wu had established three princes, and the first two princes were not only deposed, but also executed afterward. The lucky one who drums and passes flowers.

There is also the queen mother outside. She has lost her husband, son and sister, and she is holding power tighter and tighter. Is she the winner?

"I am a loner." Han Ruzi thought of the words his grandfather said again, and suddenly felt shuddering.

The King of the East China Sea snorted, he never regarded Han Ruzi as the emperor, let alone now.

There was a sudden commotion outside, and the King of Donghai rushed to the door and listened attentively, "Shangguanxu has entered the palace, it seems... not a good thing."

The two eunuchs went to hold Donghai King, and the emperor also left his chair, and ran to the door to listen with Donghai King, but the eunuch had no choice but to stand behind the emperor and Donghai King, guarding carefully to prevent them from breaking out of the door.

What Shangguanxu brought was not good news. As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, with panic and anger in his voice, "Cui Hong... Cui Hong took the Southern Army away..."

The King of the East China Sea cheered softly.

Yesterday morning, several officials entered the southern army and presented an imperial decree to take back Shangguanxu's seal. Of course Shangguanxu didn't believe it. He tried to keep these people and sent people into the city to inquire about the news, but they were stopped outside the palace and could not see the queen mother .

The two sides were in a stalemate, and both lost valuable opportunities. The news quickly spread in the military camp. The previous earthquake had caused countless rumors, and the rumor of the seizure of the seal made the soldiers at a loss.Shangguanxu is a new rich man, he has only been in office for a short time, and he has no military experience, so he is not very popular.

When the palace change in the city was at a critical juncture, a mutiny was brewing in the southern army camp.

At the critical moment, Cui Hong came, alone, and sent away the guards and the entourage left to him by Yang Feng.The timing of his appearance couldn't be more appropriate. A few hours earlier, the soldiers of the southern army might not dare to accept an officer without a seal, and later, when the mutiny broke out, he would not be able to suppress it.

He came just when the Confederates were at their most emotionally unstable, giving them a hope.

Cui Hong has been in charge of the Southern Army for many years, and he is not deeply loved, but he is also quite trusted. A large number of officers who were humiliated by Shangguan immediately turned to their old bosses, and all the soldiers shouted "General Cui".

The seal-taker sent by Chunyuxiao and others became a prisoner. Cui Hong was relentless and ordered to beheaded. Shangguanxu and a few supporters took advantage of the chaos to escape and ran all the way to report to the queen mother, just in time for the end of the palace change.

"Shangguanxu's mud can't support the wall, and the queen mother believed in the wrong person." The king of Donghai blushed with excitement, and his confidence rose sharply, and he dared to glare at the eunuch behind him.

Through the door, the Empress Dowager's expression could not be seen, and she kept silent, but Shangguan Xu's trembling voice became more and more serious, indicating that the Empress Dowager was very angry.

"Yang Feng! It was Yang Feng who helped Cui Hong seize military power." Shangguanxu was eager to shirk his responsibility, thinking of what to say, "Shortly after Cui Hong entered the camp, Yang Feng also went. He saw me without saying a word, and went directly to see Cui Hong , this... must be fraudulent."

To the people in Cishun Palace, Cui Hong's appearance was rather sudden, and it disrupted the victory that had just been won. The ministers were filled with righteous indignation and rushed to go to the Southern Army to capture Cui Hong alive.Everyone felt that if the emperor and the queen mother were killed, Cui Hong, who had regained control of the southern army, would be a terrifying force, but the two supreme figures of Great Chu were safe and sound, so it should be easy to defeat Cui Hong.

The emperor and the king of the East China Sea who were listening from the door were also nervous. Han Ruzi was curious about how the queen mother would solve this crisis. The king of the East China Sea was much more nervous than him, and his uncle's success or failure was directly related to his fate.

The statements of the ministers continued, and it was reported that Yang Feng asked to see the Queen Mother.

"He still dares to come back? How courageous." Donghai King was taken aback, and immediately came up with an explanation, "Oh, Yang Feng was a lobbyist for my uncle, hey, eunuchs are duplicitous, I must We must advise uncle to get rid of this Yang Feng as soon as possible."

Han Ruzi believed that Yang Feng was not that kind of person, and he was even more confused by another eunuch, "Why did Jing Yao fall for the Queen Mother again?"

"Hush." ​​The king of the East China Sea is only concerned about one thing now, what conditions will the uncle put forward to the queen mother.

When Yang Feng's voice came, the ministers were angered as soon as he opened his mouth, "Nu Yang Feng kowtowed to the Queen Mother, please ask the Queen Mother to retreat from everyone, I have something to report to the Queen Mother alone."

The palace change had just ended, and Yang Feng was accused of treason again. He actually made such an excessive request. The ministers scolded him clearly, and the King of Donghai frowned, "These old guys have a lot of tricks to swear, wait I... hum."

Contrary to the expectations of the ministers, the Empress Dowager agreed to Yang Feng's request and ordered the ministers, eunuchs and court ladies to retreat, leaving only a few guards.

The two eunuchs in the warm pavilion also consciously obeyed the order. First, they begged the emperor and the king of Donghai to retreat in a low voice, but it didn't work, so they had to do it.

Han Ruzi walked back by himself and sat down on the chair. The noise outside was not loud, so he couldn't hear what Yang Feng was saying.

"It's impossible for Yang Feng to seek refuge with Cui Hong." Han Ruzi couldn't think of any reason for Yang Feng to do such a thing.

The king of the East China Sea laughed a few times, "Who cares about Yang Feng, you should think about what conditions my uncle will ask the Queen Mother."

Han Ruzi looked at the King of the East China Sea, "So many things have happened, do you still want to be emperor?"

The King of Donghai glanced at the two eunuchs and said, "Even if I am beheaded immediately after becoming an emperor, I still want to be one. Some people are born to be emperors, such as me. Don't you like the feeling of being an emperor?"

"I'm just a puppet." Han Ruzi didn't care about eunuchs, anyway, this was a well-known fact.

The two eunuchs were extremely embarrassed, coughed a few times, and simply stood at the door, pretending that they couldn't hear anything.

The King of Donghai leaned forward and said seriously: "Yes, you are just a puppet. Even so, there are still people who offer their allegiance to you. Door order..."

"Hey, do you know that I brought out the sword?"

"Hey, everyone knows, but no one is a fool. Unless the Queen Mother tells it herself, no one will recognize your contribution. The ministers will only thank you silently in their hearts. Hehe, you have done them a big favor. From now on, the Queen Mother will Relying more on ministers, what my father tried to avoid, the Queen Mother has realized."

The King of Donghai impatiently tapped his fingers on the window sill, and suddenly walked towards the door, "No, I must see the queen mother, uncle..."

The two eunuchs took a step forward and shook their heads at King Donghai.

The King of the East China Sea had no choice but to retreat to the original place, looking even more anxious, and whispered to himself: "If uncle is smart, he should immediately lead troops into the palace under the banner of rescue. It happened to be Shangguanxu who did it once before. It is not an exception. Uncle asked Yang Fenglai Why? That eunuch is not trustworthy, even if you want to negotiate with the Queen Mother, you should bring troops in and talk directly face to face..."

The king of the East China Sea no longer needs to be stupid, and when analyzing the situation in front of him, Han Ruzi couldn't help but nod for him, "The elder brother of the queen mother has lost his military power, but she has the support of the ministers, so your uncle doesn't dare to act rashly."

"What kind of ministers do you care about at this time? If it weren't for Luo Huanzhang and Bu Hengru..." The King of Donghai snorted angrily, "Except for the Cui family, there is no one trustworthy in the world. I understand why the emperor always trusts his relatives and eunuchs." gone."

"It's really strange. Your uncle handed over the official seal at the beginning, and now he has taken back the official seal. If I knew this, I wouldn't have to go around in this circle."

"It's not surprising at all. Back then, the imperial court was in the hands of the Cui family, the queen mother was an adventurer, and the king of Qi was stalking outside, so my uncle chose to retreat instead of just watching the building collapse and putting his own family under pressure. How about next? Feng Shui turns, and now the Empress Dowager is in a stable position, desperately trying to keep the court, but the Cui family is in turmoil and has to take a risky move. Do you understand?"

Of course Han Ruzi understood, "Everyone is using Da Chu Jiangshan as a threat, so no one has thought about doing something practical? On the contrary, it is Luo Huanzhang, who is plotting rebellion, thinking about the people of the world."

"Ha, why do the Cui family and the queen mother think about the people of the world? They are not the emperor, you are the emperor, and what they squandered is your country. If it were me..." Donghai King's palace was completely defeated, and he was deceived by Luo Huanzhang. I was disheartened for a while, and even the mood of talking big was lightened.

The door opened, and it was Wang Meiren who walked in. She said to the two eunuchs: "I want to speak to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother ordered you to take the King of the East China Sea out."

"What conditions did my uncle ask Yang Feng to bring?" Donghai King asked, but he didn't get an answer, so he had to go out with the two eunuchs, feeling uneasy.

Since leaving home a few months ago, this was the first time that the mother and son met alone. Han Ruzi stood up, not knowing what to say.

Wang Meiren walked up to her son and smiled, "Young son, we are no longer emperors."
