The Child Emperor

In Juanhou's Mansion, the surname of the Fucheng is Zeng, and the surname of the Fuwei is Zheng. They are brothers in need. They often drink together. Although the dishes are not rich, they can complain to each other.

"Brother, it's hard work. I worked hard for half my life, and finally became a seventh-rank petty official, but I was sent here. I didn't recruit anyone, and I was worried every day. I was really afraid that I would lose my head with that one day for no reason. Sigh. Well, if I have a backer in the court, or can take out a few hundred taels of silver, I won't be so unlucky."

"My lord, please be content. At any rate, you still have a chance to be promoted. I, a little mansion captain, is one level lower than you. My salary is so small that it is difficult to support my family. I work hard to get a few compliments. Want to be promoted? Don't even think about it." think!"

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Apart from being angry, they also felt much more at ease in their hearts.

There was a knock on the door, and then an old slave came in, who didn't know how to say hello, walked over silently, put down the food box in his hand, took out all the wine and vegetables inside, and put them on the table.

Zeng Fucheng and Zheng Fuwei were baffled, both thought it was the other's credit, glanced at each other, and knew that something was wrong.

"Old Liu, who asked you to bring the food and drinks? Did you make a mistake?" Zheng Fuwei asked.

"Kitchen." Lao Liu said vaguely, put away the empty food box, and left with it.

"Who sent someone to deliver it?" Fu Wei guessed, the kitchen only listens to the orders of the two masters, and the person who delivers the food will not always be the wife. In private, they call Juanhou "that one".

Seeing the fish on the table, Zeng Fucheng swallowed, but didn't dare to move his chopsticks, "What does that mean? It's never happened before... It won't cause trouble again, so seal our mouths in advance, shall we?"

Lieutenant Zheng Fu was more courageous, tore off a whole chicken leg, and took a bite, "Whatever he is, even if that guy causes trouble, we can't stop him, why don't we be a full-fledged ghost."

Zeng Fucheng felt uneasy, but the food and drink were too attractive, and if it was a little later, another chicken leg might fall into the Fuwei's stomach, so he waved his hand, grabbed more than half of the chicken, and opened his mouth to eat it.

One Cheng and one lieutenant exchange cups, just hoping to be drunk today.

For Han Ruzi, this is not just a matter of the "present day". He sent people to deliver food and wine, and there will be every day in the future. , directly appointed by the Zongzheng Mansion, they have no ability to help, but they have the ability to destroy the prince.

For Du's grandfather and grandson, a table of wine and food is not enough.

Ten taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver were just the beginning, and Zhang Youcai presented the rewards to Du Motian with a smile.

The grandfather and grandson stayed outside for two days and two nights before returning home. Du Chuanyun was really drunk this time, staggered, picked up a piece of gold, and said with his tongue out, "What is this? It's fried very yellow. I don't know if it's crisp or not."

Du Chuanyun wanted to put the gold in his mouth, but was slapped away by his grandfather.Du Motian was still awake, clasped his fists to Juanhou and said, "What does Juanhou mean?"

"The boy has no virtue, disturbing the two Qingxiu, it is not respectful to prepare such a small gift. There is also a copy for Hu Sange, please pass it on to old coach Du."

Du Motian showed a trace of suspicion, but Du Chuanyun didn't think too much about it. He recognized the gold and silver, took it with both hands, and said loudly: "Jianhou gave it, let's accept it, grandpa, actually it's not too much , we can save..."

Du Motian tapped his finger on his grandson's head, and said sharply, "Don't be complacent, you want to save people with your ability?"

"Isn't it?" Du Chuanyun asked unconvinced.

Du Motian knew best that it was neither Du Chuanyun nor he who stunned the two subordinates of the Fifth Monkey King. Juanhou secretly had another protector, and he didn't say anything. He cupped his hands and smiled: "Since Juanhou is generous, we two You're welcome."

After all, Du Motian is an old Jianghu, and he already understands Juanhou's unwillingness to owe favors.

Han Ruzi returned the salute respectfully, and from then on he treated Du's grandfather and grandson even more favorably.

On the third day after Hua Shaoqing came to question him, the Zongzheng Mansion sent another official to read out an admonition, blaming Juanhou for going out without a reason, and the words were mild.Afterwards, Fu Cheng, who enjoyed good wine and meat every day, whispered to Juanhou, "Congratulations to Juanhou, with this admonition, you are now an ordinary person."

For Emperor Fei, becoming an ordinary person is a kind of "rise".

Two days later, Juanhou was finally allowed to go to the Imperial College to study. Yang Feng originally planned to let him go to Taixue, but failed.

The night before he was going to study, Han Ruzi stayed in the study overnight on the pretext of reviewing his homework. This day was April 23, the date he had agreed with Meng E.

What rules should be followed with this mysterious court lady?palace?court?Rivers and lakes?Han Ruzi was hesitant. Yang Feng seemed to know Meng E better, but he refused to give advice. Since that visit, he never appeared again, and Han Ruzi didn't even have a chance to talk to him about the general situation of the court.

Nearly three o'clock, Han Ruzi blew out the candles, sat on the bed, and breathed counter-breathing silently. He could feel a warm breath flowing in his body, but he didn't know what it was useful for.

"You can learn the next stage of exercises." A voice from the opposite side said.

Han Ruzi forgot that he was in the dark, shook his head and said, "No, let's talk first."

"What are you talking about?"

"You are the minister's daughter, and you want to avenge your family's crimes?" Han Ruzi said the first conjecture.

There was no answer on the other side.

"Or you are the daughter of a royal family of a certain country, and you want to use the power of Great Chu to restore the country?"

"Don't make random guesses." Meng E finally said, "I won't make it difficult for you. Internal strength is free. When you are eligible to compete for the throne, I will tell you everything. Whether you are willing to accept the deal or not, you can decide when the time comes. I don't force it."

"You haven't shown up in the past few months, do you think I don't want to fight for the position?"

"Well, that's right." Meng E didn't deny it either.

"Just because I'm taking risks doesn't mean I'm going to fight for the throne. You should know that I have nothing now. Even if I develop your internal skills, I can't break into the palace and become emperor again."

"You don't have to tell me the truth. Anyway, I'm the one betting on me. If you don't have the intention to win the position, or if you fail to win the position, I won't lose much. It's just a set of internal skills."

Meng E was still so straightforward, Han Ruzi laughed, "Does your brother know your choice?"

"He knows, and the Queen Mother also knows, that I have been kicked out of the palace and I am no longer a guard."

"Why don't you come to Juanhou's Mansion?" Han Ruzi was surprised and delighted.

"Secret is more suitable for me."

Han Ruzi immediately felt uneasy again, "In this way, the Queen Mother actually knows me...why didn't she just get rid of me, so as to avoid future troubles forever?"

"Don't ask me this kind of thing. Do you still want to learn internal skills?"

"Of course." Han Ruzi stood up, "I still want to learn your martial arts, those people in the Jianghu are not as good as you."

Meng E fell silent again, and Han Ruzi said, "It's fine if you don't want to, I just want to learn some... useful martial arts, the kind where one fights many."

"I can teach you."

"Great."

"But you can't fight many with one. There is no such martial arts in the world."

"Two days ago, you stunned two people at once. Didn't you defeat more than ten swordsmen alone in the alley of the palace?"

"Where do you think I am?" Meng E asked a weird question.

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You are at the door."

"now what?"

"Under the window, no, on the bookshelf...nor, on the beam?"

"do you understand?"

Meng E's voice was right next to his ears, Han Ruzi stretched out his hand and swiped half a circle, but there was nothing within reach of his arm, "What do you understand?"

"How many people do you think are in the room?" Meng E changed the question.

"Two, me and you."

"really?"

Han Ruzi felt something passing behind him, so he immediately turned around to check, he was struck by something on his back, and he turned around again... The attacks came from all directions, books, paperweights, brushes and other objects became hidden weapons, as if four or five people were attacking at the same time siege.

"I see." Han Ruzi exclaimed, these blows were not serious, but very irritating.

The attack stopped.

"You are in the dark, and I am in the light. If I didn't know you, I would think that there are several people in the room. This is your technique of using one enemy as many: bluffing in the dark, making the other party think that they are under siege, so they flee in a hurry. "

"Ah."

"Fighting against each other openly, you can't beat ten people?"

"I don't have three heads and six arms, how could I beat ten people? I think three are too many, unless they don't know martial arts, or they are willing to come up one by one to fight me alone."

If Han Ruzi realized something, he sat down slowly and said, "If you are empty, you will be real, if you are real, you will be empty. Your way of defeating the enemy is very consistent with the art of war."

"I don't know the art of war. I only know not to stand up when I can be in the dark."

This is indeed Meng E's code of conduct all along. Han Ruzi smiled and said, "You are completely against the people in the Jianghu. They all hope that their fame will be bigger and better, but you don't want it at all. Those swordsmen don't even know that they are famous. defeated by whom."

"So I don't have any influence in the Jianghu. If I want to achieve great things, I can only turn to the queen mother or the emperor for help."

Han Ruzi nodded, "In the palace, how did you make the court lady fall asleep?"

"A little medicinal powder, you'd better not use this kind of thing, especially not for Jianghu people, it's a taboo for them."

"But you stunned those two people in the vegetable garden in Nancheng. It must be real martial arts, right?"

"Well, if you want to learn, this can be taught to you."

"Want to learn. Do we have to talk in the dark? I can hardly remember what you look like."

"It's always going to change, it's no use remembering, you just know it's me. Are you done talking? I can't stay here all night."

"The chat is over. Wait, there is one last question, have you been around to protect me?"

Meng E didn't answer right away. After waiting for a while, she said, "Of course not. I have my own work to do, so I may not come here once every five days."

"Then why did you follow to Nancheng?"

"It's half a coincidence, and half a guess. You seem restless when you come back from Baoen Temple. I guess you must be doing something, so you have to observe more frequently in the past half month, about once every two days."

"This is also the benefit of hiding in the dark. I thought you had been hiding in the mansion."

"At least three people are needed to protect you at all times. You said it was the last question, why are you talking more and more?"

"No more, please teach me how to practice." Han Ruzi felt that he had benefited a lot. He not only learned more about martial arts, but also came up with a way to get close to the king of the East China Sea.

The extreme use of bluff is a real force, which is exactly the "weapon" Han Ruzi needs right now.
