The name of the new emperor was changed from Han Shot to Han Wei, and he officially ascended the throne on the first day of the first month of the first month, granted amnesty to the world, and used the new year name "Daochong".

In the newspaper of the copy, the change of the year name was not alarming, the minister submitted the chapter, and the queen mother said yes, and there was no sign that there had been twists and turns during the period, and it was not even worth remembering this in the history books, and there was no open and secret struggle between the queen mother and the minister when Han Ruzi was in power.

Of course, the truth can't be so simple, a few days ago, in the study of the Hou Mansion, Yang Feng threw this matter to the tired Hou as a problem, Han Ruzi didn't have to think about it this time, he already had some clues, enough to conclude: "The palace change half a year ago failed, and the biggest beneficiary was not the Queen Mother, let alone Cui Hong, who regained the position of the Great Sima of the Southern Army, but the minister of the court." When the two powers compete, they have to win the support of the minister, and everything that the queen mother gave up was to curry favor with them. ”

Yang Feng nodded in agreement.

Han Ruzi continued to think, and a little doubt arose in his heart, "It is said that the Cui family is in power and opposition, and all officials are out of the Cui family, why haven't I seen it?" ”

Han Ruzi remembered that during his reign, Cui Hong was defeated in the Kwantung region, the Manchu Dynasty was shaken, and the ministers disputed whether the Taifu colluded with the King of Qi in the Qinzheng Palace, and both sides had their own reasons, even in that case, it was impossible to see who definitely belonged to the Cui family's forces.

As for the palace change, the participants were more Jianghu figures, there were very few officials in the court, and the high-ranking person was a Junyang Hou Huabin, and he also had other selfish motives.

"Power leans towards the government and the opposition, forms a court for personal gain, brings disaster to the country and the people, and rebels...... These are all ministers' words, and you have to learn to discern the meaning behind these words. ”

"Are you saying that the 'Cui family's forces' were made up by the ministers?" Han Ruzi couldn't believe it.

Yang Feng laughed a few times, "You're still too young. It's a pity that Guo Cong left Beijing. You ought to have studied under him for a while. ”

Han Ruzi was even more confused. Guo Cong once taught him the "Book of Songs", if you talk about the ability to make people drowsy, Guo Cong can definitely rank first among several old gentlemen, Han Ruzi can't think of what he can learn.

Yang Feng didn't explain, and continued: "When he first entered the palace, the Tired Marquis regarded the Queen Mother as his enemy, but when the palace changed, the Tired Marquis chose to stand on the side of the Queen Mother. Why? ”

"Because the threat of the imperial concubine and the king of the East China Sea is greater, they forced me to the side of the queen mother." Han Ruzi felt that there was no need to explain this, and he had no other choice at that time, but as soon as the words came out, he began to understand what Yang Feng wanted to say.

Yang Feng said with a smile: "Many people are forced to defect to a certain side like the tired marquis, this kind of surrender has no loyalty, only the wind makes the rudder, of course the Cui family has its own forces, but those are all relatives and friends of the Cui family." There aren't many, and more ministers are following the crowd. The Queen Mother pressed tighter, they took refuge in the Cui family, the Queen Mother let go slightly, they preferred to remain neutral, if the Queen Mother beckoned, they were likely to betray the Cui family easily. ”

"But if the Cui family supports the king of the East China Sea to become the emperor, the situation will be reversed."

Yang Feng nodded, the smart tired Hou always reminded him of another student from before, they had been together longer and had a more harmonious relationship, but it was a pity that ...... Yang Bong didn't want to think about it anymore.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of Daochong, the whole world celebrates, the smell of firecrackers last night has not yet dissipated, Han Ruzi and many nobles entered the palace to worship the new emperor, and the princes from all over the country also came, several of them also have the privilege of entering the palace without worshipping, Han Ruzi stood in the first row with them, and bowed to the new emperor on the throne under the instructions of the ceremonial officer.

Han Ruzi remembered his conversation with Yang Feng at this moment, and his heart was full of emotion, when he sat on it, he had fantasized about the ministers below, thinking that there would be some upright minister who would come forward to help him get rid of his puppet status, but the final result was his abdication.

Now he stood below, looking up at the new emperor above, and finally understood why the ministers had been indifferent in the first place.

After the enthronement ceremony, after Han Ruzi returned to the Hou Mansion, he immediately found Yang Feng and told him about his feelings.

In the following view, the emperor is like a part of the throne, no one knows what the chubby child is thinking, but his every movement, every look will attract infinite reverie: the little emperor glanced to the side, which shows that he is absent-minded and has no clear understanding of the throne; The little emperor twisted his ass slightly, which showed that he was not strong-willed and probably could not survive the brutal struggle; When the eunuch next to him spoke, the little emperor listened slightly sideways, which showed that he relied on the eunuchs and did not trust the ministers......

Han Ruzi knows how ridiculous these speculations are, and he also knows how powerful they are, no one wants to help those who may lose, everyone wants to be on the side of the winner, even he himself is no exception, the risk of helping the little emperor is too great, and throwing himself to the queen mother, or just standing by is a safer choice.

The ministers at the beginning probably thought the same thing about Han Ruzi.

But when the palace changed, was his performance not good enough? Han Ruzi understood ******** after a little recollection, everything he did at that time happened in the deep palace, except for a few eunuchs, no one could see it, and when the ministers outside suddenly got the Taizu sword, they could draw all kinds of conclusions, not all of which were attributed to the emperor.

Among them, the key figures are Liu Kunsheng and Guo Cong, these two people took the sword, and whatever they said to the minister, the minister naturally believed it.

Han Ruzi said dryly, still unfinished, "Liu Kunsheng is just a palace gatekeeper, and he doesn't have much contact with the ministers of the court, Guo Cong is different, he himself has been an official in the court, and there are many disciples who are officials, even if Zhishi is at home, he is still a member of the officialdom, he doesn't like me, so he deliberately conceals my credit." ”

Han Ruzi let out a sigh, "It seems that I really can't easily offend anyone, who would have thought that my fate would be in his hands for a while?" ”

Yang Feng listened with a smile, occasionally hummed, and never said anything, and when the tired Hou sat down tiredly, he said: "It seems that changing your identity is very good for the tired Hou." ”

"There are benefits." Han Ruzi muttered, his mind was chaotic, and his eyes were full of doubts, "I was affected by you." ”

"Huh?"

"You said that there is a mysterious gang among the heroes, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and as a result - I now think that there is also a mysterious gang among the ministers."

"Haha." Yang Bong laughed, "It seems that you still don't fully believe me. ”

"If there is a gang between Haojie and the ministers, wouldn't the leader be equivalent to the other two emperors?"

"There is only one emperor, but the emperor is not omnipotent." Yang Feng felt that it was not appropriate to say too much to the Tired Hou today, so he got up and said, "Before I leave the Hou Mansion, I will find a way to arrange for the Tired Hou to go to Taixue to study, where you will know more about the imperial court." ”

"Too learned? Why not Guozijian? ”

Taixue usually admits students who are both good at taste, while Guozijian is biased towards the children of nobles, and Han Ruzi's identity is more suitable for the latter.

"Guo Cong used to be the Guozi Priest Wine, but he served as a professor in Taixue for a longer time, and most of the disciples who are now officials are from Taixue, where you will know more about Guo Cong. And there are too many gentlemen in the Guozi Prison, and they can't learn real skills. ”

"Is there a gang among the ministers, why don't you just tell me the answer?"

"Because I don't have an answer, I used to be a petty official, and then I became a eunuch, and I am getting farther and farther away from officialdom, and I can only watch the ministers from a distance, and I have no way to understand their secrets." Yang Feng thought for a while, "The imperial court is not a river and lake, and the ministers are different from Haojie, maybe you can give me an answer in the future." ”

Yang Feng assigned more and more homework, Han Ruzi was under a lot of pressure, and hurriedly said: "I have been going to the city every time I go out these days, there are not many fortune tellers there, and they all say that the imperial court is investigating tightly, and many fortune tellers are either arrested or left far away, especially those who look at qi, and now they can't see any of them." ”

"Don't worry, the more you try, the farther away they will be from you, and when they feel the need, they will come to you." Yang Feng suddenly became serious, "Remember, if you suspect someone, don't act rashly and notify me immediately." ”

"You're in the Northern Army, how should I inform you?"

There was no one else in the study, Yang Feng still lowered his voice, "There is a drunken immortal building in Xiaochunfang, if necessary, you go there to find a cook called 'Don't Die', he can contact me." ”

"Don't die? Is his name? Han Ruzi was surprised and amused.

"He cooks with a lot of salt, and people say that he 'salty people don't pay for their lives', and he loves to fight, so everyone simply calls him 'don't die', in short, you go to him. Don't usually go, only when you can't contact me for a while, and you need help, he's the ...... It's okay, you can handle it. ”

Han Ruzi nodded, his heart was more steady, Yang Feng at least didn't leave, arranging for him to go to Taixue and leaving an emergency contact showed that he was sincerely helping.

"I saw Taifu Cui Hong today." Han Ruzi was anxious to tell Yang Feng everything he knew, like a favored student eager to say the answer.

"He's finally in town."

Taifu Cui Hong showed that he bowed his head to the Queen Mother, but he stayed in the southern military camp and never took a step, let alone enter the city.

"Does this mean that Cui Hong wants to make the first move?" Han Ruzi must care about this matter, the struggle between the Queen Mother and the Cui family will not only bring danger to him, but also may be a godsend.

"This means that Cui Hong has already made a move." Yang Feng said.

Han Ruzi was taken aback, Cui Hong made a move, and he didn't see it at all.

Yang Feng still refused to explain more, "Rest, tomorrow you have to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship your ancestors." ”

Han Ruzi returned to the bedroom of the back house with doubts, Cui Xiaojun prepared a small table of wine and food, and said with a smile: "People ascended the throne as emperors, why are you so excited?" ”

"I'm glad I escaped it." Han Ruzi also smiled, he was not strong enough to drink, but he still poured a glass for his wife and himself.

The two chatted while eating, and Han Ruzi saw that Cui Xiaojun had something on his mind, and asked, "What gadgets did Madam think of again?" Tomorrow...... Not tomorrow, I'll buy it from you in a few days. ”

Cui Xiaojun smiled and shook his head, "There are still a lot of things I bought before that have not been opened, I am thinking about the New Year...... Should I go back to my parents' home? ”

"Back!" Han Ruzi almost blurted out, realizing that he had promised too quickly, and added: "As long as the Cui family is willing to let you back." ”

Han Ruzi thought that he didn't find any signs of Cui Hong's move, Cui Xiaojun might be able to, and then he suddenly realized that his wife was the biological daughter of Taifu Cui Hong.
