The Child Emperor

(Thank you readers for "kicking to the rock" and "heathers" for their rewards.)

The Cui family's female army has the confidence to dare to go straight to the mansion of the abandoned emperor. The confidence comes from the king of the East China Sea who was brought up by the Cui family. He is almost certain to become the new emperor. Suddenly, the bad news comes that the successor is someone else , his confidence was instantly wiped out.

The old gentleman of the Cui family was pampered and pampered all his life, and he had never been hit so hard. He stared at his grandson Cui Sheng for a long time, "Say it again."

"I heard that the Empress Dowager has chosen a new emperor, who is very popular with the ministers."

The old man got angry when he said he was angry, and he raised his palm and slapped Cui Sheng hard, "Nonsense, disturbing the morale of the army, just heard, have you confirmed it? If the Queen Mother doesn't choose the son of Emperor Huan, who else does she want to establish?"

Cui Sheng covered his face, "Okay, I'll inquire again, but it is rumored that the king of the East China Sea has been sent out of the palace..."

Laojun suddenly turned around and glared at Juanhou, "You robbed my granddaughter on the way..."

"Your granddaughter is Mrs. Juanhou, and this is also her home." Han Ruzi glanced at Yang Feng and added, "That's right, the King of Donghai is in the mansion."

As soon as this remark came out, the Cui family was in an uproar. Since the king of the East China Sea is not in the palace, then the new emperor must not be him.

Laojun stood blankly for a while, then suddenly fell back, Cui Sheng and a group of women helped him up in time, Cui Sheng had just been beaten, but he was very filial to his grandmother, and shouted at Han Ruzi: "If something happens to Laojun , the Cui family will never end with you!"

Han Ruzi didn't understand what this had to do with him, but this old woman was also Xiaojun's grandmother, so he couldn't just leave her alone, so he said, "Help me to the back."

Han Ruzi led the way, the eunuchs stepped aside, and the women helped Laojun to the main hall of the second courtyard. Cui Sheng wanted to follow in, but was held back by his mother, suddenly remembered that there were more important things to do, and turned to run outside the mansion. He had to find out the situation as soon as possible.

The front yard was quiet, and the officers and soldiers looked at each other, deeply impressed by the Cui family's detachment of women. Fu Wei came out of the room, secretly glad that he had escaped, but soon became even more worried: Da Chu had a new emperor , Juanhou's future is uncertain, so don't get involved.

In the main hall, the women were busy taking care of the old gentleman, and none of the male servants who followed him dared to come in, and they all lingered outside the door.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Han Ruzi dragged Yang Feng aside, pointed at Laojun and said in a low voice, "I know I have to learn a lot, but even this?"

"The sapouring old woman is as fierce as the three armies. The Marquis of Juan has lived in the inner house for a long time, and she finally came out. She should see everything."

Han Ruzi was speechless, but he always felt that something was wrong. Yang Feng smiled and said, "When Juanhou was studying national history, did you hear the records of Emperor He and the Empress Dowager?"

"How many uncles were made marquises by Emperor He before the Empress Dowager's sick bed? I heard."

Yang Feng hummed and said nothing.

Han Ruzi understood what he meant, but felt that his mother was gentle and smart, and would never act like the old gentleman of the Cui family, not to mention that he didn't have an uncle.

Laojun woke up leisurely, forgot where he was, and also forgot his granddaughter, tremblingly said: "Where is my good grandson? Has he become the emperor?"

No one dared to answer, Laojun glanced over, and finally landed on Han Ruzi in the distance, and said viciously: "It's you again, since birth, you have been destroying the fortune of the King of the East China Sea, until now, why? Why? Are you still alive?"

Han Ruzi was furious, but when he thought of Yang Feng's words, he took this experience as a test, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "If the sky wants to send a great mission to the people, you must first suffer from it... In short, let it go He suffers first, the king of the East China Sea is in bad luck, probably because he has not suffered enough."

Laojun stood up and wanted to stand up, but just got off the chair and sat down again, covering his heart and saying: "This kid is going to piss me off, hit him, hit him hard."

The women hummed a few times, but no one moved, only one woman reminded in a low voice: "Old gentleman, this is not the Cui Mansion..."

Laojun was so angry that he had nowhere to vent, so he raised his hand and slapped the woman, "I'm not confused, so tell me!"

The woman covered her face and stepped back, Laojun stared at Han Ruzi again, and spoke softly, "So my grandson is also in your house, tell me, how do you release him?"

"Release? I would like to know how the king of the East China Sea is willing to come out."

Laojun raised his eyebrows again, and a person ran in from outside the door, threw himself on Laojun's knees, hugged her legs, crying and making noise, Laojun was also darling and darling.

Donghai King's carriage was parked outside, he was terrified, and he didn't dare to come out when he heard that the Cui family was coming, and he didn't run out to see his grandmother until he was sure that there was no danger.

Han Ruzi had to admit that in just a short while, his knowledge really increased a lot. He also acted like a baby in front of his mother, but he was very restrained. He had never wailed like the king of the East China Sea. It's really a match, I don't understand why the king of Donghai never mentioned this grandmother before.

What surprised him even more was that those women, who had been silent just now, were all wiping away their tears, crying sincerely, even Cui Xiaojun's mother was no exception.

There are court halls everywhere, and the scene in front of you is so similar to the Imperial Palace and Qinzheng Hall.

Han Ruzi nodded to Yang Fengwei, expressing that he really learned something.

Yang Feng didn't seem to notice Juanhou's movements, he was still thinking, Han Ruzi asked in a low voice, "Have you guessed who the new emperor is?"

"I have a little guess, but I don't know how the Queen Mother did it."

Han Ruzi was about to ask again, when the King of the East Sea over there finally stopped crying, got up and wiped away his tears, turned around and said, "Han Ruzi, we were all deceived by the Queen Mother, who abandoned Emperor Huan's two sons and set up a new king, you and I We have to deal with her hand in hand."

The old gentleman hadn't wiped away his tears yet, and he was holding his grandson's wrist with one hand, with a smile that was almost adoring, looking up, obviously very proud of his grandson.

Han Ruzi shook his head, "Thank you. No matter who becomes the emperor, I will be here honestly as a marquis. It was not my wish to be the emperor, and I don't have this idea now. I haven't settled down here yet, and I can't entertain guests. Please Everyone go slowly."

His grandson Yuzun condescended, but the other party bowed without accepting his head. The old gentleman couldn't help being furious, and was about to speak when the King of Donghai sneered: "You are really hopeless, and you don't even want the opportunity to come to your door. Well, you just go It’s better to be a turtle here, Laojun, let’s go.”

Han Ruzi made a posture of seeing off the guests sideways, and refused to give in, "I wish you a smooth stretching of your head, the more you stretch, the better."

In the past, the king of the East China Sea would have an attack on the spot, but today he was tired and scared, and he was in no mood to quarrel, and there was a more urgent crisis to deal with, so he just snorted coldly, took his grandmother's hand and walked out.

Laojun listened to this grandson very much, and when he reached the door, he remembered that there was another granddaughter, "Xiaojun is here..."

The King of Donghai snorted angrily, "My cousin betrayed the Cui family. She came here voluntarily. Why are you still thinking about her? Anyway, the Cui family has several daughters, so let's just pretend that she doesn't exist."

"Xiaojun was brought up by me, she won't..."

"What's wrong? You've been here for so long, has she come out to see you?"

Laojun still wanted to talk, but the King of Donghai pushed her out, "The throne has been taken away by someone, and you still care about a ruthless granddaughter? Hurry back to the house and find a way to get in touch with your uncle. Army, I don't believe that the Empress Dowager really dares to offend uncle."

Laojun came to his senses and quickened his pace, "That's right, my grandson is too smart, I'm looking for your uncle, right now..."

The women followed, Cui Xiaojun's mother pretended to look for the dropped things, stayed at the back, and when she passed by Han Ruzi, she asked in a low voice, "Are you really not fighting for the throne?"

"Without root or foundation, I don't have delusions."

Cui's mother nodded, and put a hairpin into Han Ruzi's hand, "Treat Xiaojun well." After saying that, she hurriedly chased after Laojun.

The master and servant of the Cui family came and went quickly, and after a while they disappeared without a trace.

Han Ruzi held the hairpin in a daze, and after a while he said, "How could Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan allow the Cui family to be domineering for so long?"

"Emperor Wu was suspicious, and Emperor Huan was worried. For them, arrogant relatives are more credible than silent princes and ministers."

Han Ruzi has never experienced the real feeling of imperial power, so it is difficult to understand the actions of Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan. Then he thought of himself, "For example, the more I resemble a foolish emperor, the safer I am, because no one will support a foolish emperor?"

Yang Feng smiled and nodded, "You are still far from the standard of a 'faint monarch'. We will talk about this matter later. The queen mother's selection of a new monarch is a real threat to you."

"Ah, don't be fooled, even if it's just a guess, tell me, who is the queen mother going to make emperor?" Han Ruzi couldn't hide his concern about this matter, although the news would come out in a short time, he still wanted to hurry up Know.

"If I'm not mistaken—" Yang Feng turned his head and glanced at Zhang Youcai who sneaked in, but didn't push him away, "The empress dowager chose the descendant of the former prince to succeed her."

"The former prince?"

"Emperor Wu established three princes. The first two were Prince Ju and Prince Yong. They were executed successively. You should have heard of it, right?"

Han Ruzi nodded, and Zhang Youcai stood behind him, whispering: "The two princes died in the East Palace, so there are ghosts there, no one dares to go."

Yang Feng snorted disdainfully, and continued: "The family members of Prince Ju and Prince Yong were also implicated, but it is said that each of them had a son who was less than three years old at the time and survived, one should be sixteen or seventeen years old, one It should be six or seven years old, the latter one is very suitable for the Queen Mother's requirements, but the ministers may support the first one more, I don't know how the Queen Mother chose it."

"In this way, won't the queen mother offend Mrs. Cui?" Han Ruzi couldn't understand the queen mother's intention.

Yang Feng thought for a while, "It can only be the first one. When Prince Ju was the most trusted during his lifetime, he was in charge of the Southern Army. His descendants proclaiming emperor may disintegrate the Southern Army's support for Cui Taifu. The crown prince has lasted more than ten years, and is most supported by the court ministers, but—"

However, the eldest prince's orphan is already sixteen or seventeen years old, close to adulthood, and it will be very difficult for the queen mother to control the government.

Yang Feng said to himself, almost forgetting that there were outsiders by his side, "This is not enough, the Queen Mother must have a stronger guarantee before she dares to do this..."

Fucheng, who ran away during the day, came in in a panic and said to Juanhou: "The palace has passed an order, requiring all the sons and daughters of the clan with titles in the city to go to the Taimiao to pay homage to the new emperor immediately."

Han Ruzi and Yang Feng no longer have to guess.
