Chapter 16 The Emperor Always Knows Nothing

Han Ruzi sat straight on the chair, his eyes followed the sunlight on the floor, from morning to afternoon, he was never tired of it, and even when eating, he was often distracted to glance at it.

It's been five days, and he's only had a handful of things to say, and there's basically nothing to do except observe the changes in light and shadow.

The Meng E siblings did not appear again, and they may have left the palace that they did not like at all. The king of the East China Sea followed the emperor every morning to greet the queen mother, with a cold face along the way, and he was even more silent than the emperor. Yang Feng was as elusive as before, as if he had forgotten the duty of taking care of the emperor for a long time, and occasionally appeared, but he was also in a hurry, at most asking about daily life, never talking about other things.

What happened to the assassination case? Are more people involved? Is Liu Jie alive or dead? Did Taifu Cui Hong go on the expedition? What's the news from Qi State? What does it mean to marry a queen? All these things were closely related to the emperor, but he did not even get a word of news.

The eunuchs and palace maids came and went, most of the time they stayed in other rooms, trying not to touch the emperor as much as possible, and Han Ruzi also lost his enthusiasm for talking to them, preferring to sit there in a daze, or pacing back and forth in the room, silently counting the steps in his heart.

How long can I endure this life? On the afternoon of the fifth day, Han Ruzi began to ask himself, but he couldn't answer himself, and even fantasized about what happened after he went crazy: The king of the East China Sea will be very happy, the queen mother will not be sad, and his mother will not know about the affairs in the palace at all, what about Yang Feng? He said he was going to open the way, but now there are no people.

The door was pushed open silently, Yang Feng stepped in, and the position where he was standing just blocked the sunlight that was obliquely coming in, Han Ruzi shook his head and tried to get back the sunlight, only to find that Nakatsu was staring at him after a while.

"Hey! I didn't expect you to come. There was a dish of celery for lunch that was delicious, I ate a few more bites, and now it is rare to be able to eat fresh vegetables in this season, and it is still a little good to be an emperor. Han Ruzi smiled.

Yang Feng took a few steps forward and got closer to the emperor, "Your Majesty, are you complaining?" ”

"Me? Grumble? How can it be. Cough...... There are so many courtiers who share my worries, and I am very relieved. Han Ruzi said seriously.

Such a lie can't deceive anyone, Yang Feng bent down slightly, and said, "I thought you were worth cultivating, it seems that I have to reconsider." ”

"Is your so-called cultivation just to leave it alone?" The anger in Han Ruzi's heart jumped up, what he cared about was not loneliness, but the news was closed, so many things were happening, but he couldn't even find anyone who could inquire.

"I'll have to watch and see if you can stand up on your own, otherwise, even an immortal won't be able to help." Yang Feng's tone gradually became stern, and he didn't even call him "Your Majesty".

Han Ruzi stared at Yang Feng, and suddenly found that he was not familiar with this eunuch at all, the contact between the two was actually very small, and the number of conversations with him was not as many as that of the East China Sea King, but this person unceremoniously claimed to be observing him, and asked him to offer complete trust.

Mother said, don't trust anyone, Han Ruzi sighed lightly, "I disappointed you." ”

"Everyone will slack off once in a while, as long as His Majesty can still cheer up."

Han Ruzi stood up, stretched out his arms, and kicked his legs, "I've cheered up." ”

"Hmm." Yang Feng nodded, "Your Majesty, please tell me your opinion." ”

Han Ruzi was inexplicable, "What do you think?" In the whole palace, I know the least number of things. ”

"The emperor always knows nothing."

"The previous emperor could not have been like me."

"When Taizu was chasing the world, he was trapped several times, life and death were often in an instant, and when he looked around, he saw that the enemy army was overlapping, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him. At this time, Taizu was worse than ignorance, but did he give up thinking and opinions? No, he still firmly believes that Da Chu will win. ”

Han Ruzi pondered for a moment, "What about Emperor Wu?" It's not like you're ignorant. ”

"Emperor Wu knows a lot, it should be said that it is too much, from the inner palace to the court and the opposition, from the prince to the concubine, from within ten steps to thousands of miles away, everyone hopes to convey news to Emperor Wu, these messages are conflicting with each other, inconsistent, good and bad, victory and defeat, good and evil...... A few words can change, and with this news, Emperor Wu is almost as ignorant as if he doesn't know anything. Guessing, deducing, and having a whim...... Every emperor has to learn to judge in the worst of circumstances. ”

Han Ruzi couldn't argue with Yang Feng, so he had to think about it for a while, in fact, he had thought a lot about it these days, but he didn't want to say it too quickly, "Cui Taifu has already led the army to Qi State." ”

"Well, I left three days ago." Yang Feng is not strict about details, only listens to the general trend.

"Liu Jie and the assassin's accomplices were taken to the Kingdom of Qi."

"No, they were imprisoned in Dali Temple and interrogated by various legal departments."

"Liu Jie wasn't taken away?" Han Ruzi was very disappointed, and immediately understood, "Mrs. Cui just took the opportunity to figure out the Queen Mother's true thoughts, and after achieving his goal, he still had to win the trust of the Queen Mother, so he left Liu Jie and others in the capital." ”

"Hmm."

"Is Liu Jie in danger?"

"Don't waste your energy guessing the unguessable."

"So...... Cui Taifu's daughter is really going to enter the palace to be a queen. ”

"Isn't Your Majesty pleased?"

"The queen is the daughter of the Cui family, I ...... How old is she? ”

"One year younger than His Majesty, twelve years old."

"She's not going to enter the palace anytime soon, is she? We're all too young. ”

"Three days later, if there is no accident, after the crusade against the Qi State, Cui Taifu's class will return to Beijing, and His Majesty will get married."

"But...... But ......" Han Ruzi still found it hard to believe.

"There used to be an eight-year-old queen in the previous dynasty, and it is not strange to be twelve years old."

Han Ruzi sighed helplessly, "What is the purpose of the Queen Mother?" I thought...... When things settle down, she'll ...... She will get rid of me and make me a new emperor. ”

"Where did the new emperor come from?"

"There are many descendants of Emperor Wu, any one of them can be, such as the King of the East China Sea."

"The king of the East China Sea can't do it, the Cui family's power is big enough, and they can't give them another emperor. The descendants of the branch have their own foundations, and the more people there are, the more fierce the competition, which is not good for Da Chu, nor is it good for the Queen Mother, and she now wants the court to be stable more than anyone else. ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "This stumped me, the Queen Mother won't let me be the emperor forever, right?" ”

"Your Majesty is getting older, and it will be difficult for the Queen Mother to continue to hold the treasure seal and listen to the government after the crown." Yang Feng wanted the emperor to think about it a little longer, but suddenly found that he had made a mistake, the emperor was only thirteen years old, no matter how smart he was, there were some things he couldn't think of, "The Queen Mother needs Her Majesty to give birth to a crown prince, and only the future crown prince can succeed to the throne without dispute, and let the Queen Mother continue to listen to the government justifiably." ”

"How can I give birth to ......" Han Ruzi felt that this was a joke, and then suddenly realized, "So the queen mother wants to be crowned queen, but ...... I'm in a hurry, I'm ...... with the queen."

Han Ruzi thought about many things, but he didn't expect that his biggest role was to give birth to a son, and this son would kill him.

"The crown prince doesn't have to be the queen's son, but with the queen, things are easy to do."

"It's not easy at all." Han Ruzi shook his head desperately, "I won't ...... anyway How can I have a son? I should have prevented it in advance. ”

A smile appeared on Yang Feng's always stern face, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be nervous, it will be two or three years later, that is to say, Your Majesty will be safe during this time." ”

Han Ruzi didn't know whether to cry or rejoice, "What can I do?" Two or three years didn't last long. ”

"Wait."

"Just waiting, doing nothing? I'm afraid I'll go crazy if I don't wait two or three years. ”

"The emperor will not be idle, if you don't do things, things will find you."

Han Ruzi's eyes lit up, it turned out that Yang Feng didn't just come to teach the emperor a lesson.

"In the past few days, at least five ministers have written to suggest that the Queen Mother choose a master for Her Majesty as soon as possible, this can be regarded as a start, Your Majesty will be able to contact more ministers, and you can also learn many skills necessary for being an emperor."

"Yang Gong made this happen, right?" Han Ruzi's eyes brightened, and the thought of being able to walk out of this room and contact people other than eunuchs and palace maids made her heart beat faster with excitement.

"No, I don't know any of the ministers who wrote to me." Yang Feng refused to take the credit, "The emperor is the supreme of the United States, no matter whether he is mediocre or wise, whether he is independent or not, even if he is just a puppet, the heroes of the world will try their best to surround him and strive for fame and fortune." Emperor Wu was too much, so he had to sharpen the axe and cut it to remove the turnips; Your Majesty is too little, but it is not nothing, how to take advantage of these opportunities, it depends on the ability of Your Majesty and me. ”

Han Ruzi's heart was beating faster, and although he hadn't done anything yet, his enthusiasm had almost broken through the top of his head.

He calmed himself down, thought about it and thought about it, and decided to ask the biggest doubt in his mind: "What the hell is the matter with the assassin?" ”

"I said, please don't ask me the truth, I have no way of knowing."

"I don't want the truth, just Yang Gong's conjecture."

Yang Feng was vague on this issue, unlike a simple emperor, he hid too many secrets, and it was far from the time to reveal them together, "The assassin is real, but everyone has their own opinions on the details of the assassin. ”

"What is Yang Gong's opinion?" Han Ruzi had to ask the question to the end, and the Queen Mother's opinion was already very clear: to lead the assassins to the King of Qi, use this opportunity to eliminate external troubles, and reconcile with the Cui family, so as to consolidate the power of the Shangguan family.

"It's likely that the assassin was really sent by the King of Qi." Yang Feng decided to reveal a little bit of his true thoughts, "But I won't stop there, and I will continue to investigate." ”

This is exactly what Han Ruzi expected, "Yang Gong also thinks that the death of the imperial brother has another inside story, right?" ”

Yang Feng made an impolite gesture, raised his hand and patted the emperor lightly on the shoulder twice, "Don't let too much news interfere with Your Majesty's train of thought, sometimes ignorance is a blessing, Your Majesty should only care about those most important things." ”

"The most important thing is definitely not to give birth to a prince." Han Ruzi felt disgusted by this matter.
