The general of the cavalry, Deng Cui, disappeared inexplicably, the general defending the city was suddenly replaced, the emperor's guards went in and out of the palace, and the soldiers in the city received orders to wait for battle overnight...... Tension was felt throughout the city, and rumors spread that hundreds of people had fled the city to surrender to the Xiongnu, and that the emperor was seriously ill and would die.

Han Ruzi was also very nervous, and he intended to do something, not wanting to be idle.

He does have a few things to deal with.

Master Qin and her daughter moved out of the emperor's temporary bedroom, and like ordinary artists, they came with the rumors.

The reason why Han Ruzi opened the net was because this matter involved his mother, and Master Qin's daughter had no other skills except for touching the qin and beauty.

"Cui Teng, if I hear that you approached the piano master without permission, and you will be sent thousands of miles away to filthy the court." Han Ruzi reminded.

Master Qin and his daughter had already been taken away by the eunuchs, Cui Teng was still looking at the door, hearing the emperor's words, he was first shocked, then stunned, sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "If I really can't control myself - Your Majesty doesn't have to send me out, give me a knife, let me be a eunuch, anyway, the eldest brother has a son, and the Cui family doesn't have to worry about cutting off children and grandchildren." ”

Others said such things as if they were expressing dissatisfaction, but Cui Teng was sincere, looked at Liu Jie, Zhang Youcai and others, and sighed again.

Han Ruzi could only shake his head and ordered someone to bring the Flower Tiger King, and he wanted to interrogate him again.

The siege of Jincheng has not been solved, and Han Ruzi has already begun to think about how to eradicate the bandits of Yunmengze.

The Flower Tiger King was still young, and he wanted both face and life, so he stood up and did not kneel in front of the emperor, but his expression could not remain calm, and his eyes did not dare to look at the emperor.

The guards wanted to force the Flower Tiger King to kneel, and Han Ruzi raised his hand to signal that it was not necessary.

"I still remember that you once delivered a message for me in the palace."

The expression of the Flower Tiger King changed again, he was still a noble entourage in the palace at that time, and now that he thinks about it, it is like a lifetime away, "That's ...... That was the idea of the King of the East Sea. ”

"Why did you kill the King of the East Sea? Isn't he your friend? ”

The Flower Tiger King was silent for a while, and then spoke: "The King of the East China Sea humiliated our Hua family, how could I treat him as a friend?" ”

Han Ruzi was a little surprised.

The Flower Tiger King finally met the emperor's gaze, "Not only the King of the East China Sea, but Your Majesty too, completely does not take the Hua family in his eyes, humiliates us, belittles us, supports us, and the Hua family ...... The flower family is not affected by this kind of anger! ”

Han Ruzi understood, he had long heard that the Hua family was once a very powerful relative, and it had declined during the period of Emperor Wu, and he was frequently rejected when he interceded for Haojie, and when Emperor Wu died, the family relationship between the Hua family and the emperor was even weaker, and they were not even considered relatives, and they were not even qualified to enter the palace, so they could only deliver the chapter according to the rules like ordinary ministers.

This is the so-called "humiliation" of the Tiger King.

"So you father and son would rather abandon their family and become thieves than become courtiers?" Han Ruzi asked.

The Flower Tiger King nodded, a little bolder, not only could he look at the emperor, but there was also a little more challenge in his eyes.

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, "In Yunmengze, the Hua family must be admired by the stars and the moon?" ”

"The Hua family is quite famous in the rivers and lakes." The Flower Tiger King said proudly.

"Well, Ke Luan Banxiong first sent your father to the capital to participate in the rebellion, and then asked you to save your father, but he himself hid in Yunmengze, is the Hua family's reputation so big?"

King Huahu's face was slightly red, "My father volunteered to go to the capital, it has nothing to do with General Luan, and the matter of the capital is not a rebellion, the so-called winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, Your Majesty is just lucky." As for saving my father, it was my own volition, and God Luan would have stopped me. ”

Luan Banxiong called himself a "God-given general", and the King of Huahu obviously had great respect for him.

Han Ruzi nodded, "Will Luan Banxiong come to save your father and son?" ”

"Our father and son...... It will not affect the heroes of the rivers and lakes. ”

Cui Teng couldn't help it, and said: "There have been more than a dozen good 'heroes' who have died because of you, and you still say that you won't be involved?" If no one really came to the rescue, would you think that Yun Mengze looked down on the Hua family and humiliated the Hua family, right? The Hua family is really difficult to get along with, you have to be held by everyone? ”

The Flower Tiger King glared at Cui Teng angrily, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Cui Er, less proud, the Hua family's today is your Cui family's tomorrow, accompany the king like a tiger, don't think that you can be worry-free for the rest of your life if you are favored now, why don't you call well, the emperor still abandons the Cui family." ”

Cui Teng thought for a while and asked Zhang Youcai next to him: "He's talking about our Cui family...... Is it a dog? ”

Zhang Youcai nodded solemnly.

Cui Teng was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up, but was dragged by two eunuchs.

"Let's see if the rivers and lakes will abandon the Hua family." Han Ruzi didn't get angry, the Flower Tiger King was very inward-looking, and he was easily frightened, "After returning to Beijing, your father and son will be beheaded on the street." ”

Cui Teng was very satisfied when he heard this, but the Flower Tiger King's expression changed drastically, "You...... Your Majesty has clearly promised ......"

"I promised to forgive the Hua family's capital crimes before today, but if Yun Mengze sends someone to rob the prison, the Hua family will have new crimes, and I haven't promised to forgive even future sins."

The Flower Tiger King was stunned.

"So Yun Mengze's saving the Hua family is harming the Hua family, and if he doesn't save it, he will abandon you." Han Ruzi waved his hand, and the guards dragged the Flower Tiger King away.

was already out of the room, and the Flower Tiger King reacted and shouted: "You can't go back to the capital!" Can't go back to the capital! ”

The voice gradually disappeared, and Cui Teng said: "Your Majesty is more than to see him in person, it is enough to send someone to torture him, I dare to guarantee that this kid can't hold out twice, let me interrogate him." ”

"Nothing to ask." Han Ruzi said to the door: "Gong Liu! ”

Liu Jie immediately stepped into the house.

Han Ruzi had already seen him probe twice, so he ordered someone to take the Flower Tiger King away, "What's the matter?" ”

"General Fan sent someone to deliver the news, saying that a few civilians had stormed the city gate and it had been pacified."

"Huh?" Han Ruzi immediately stood up, "Such a big thing, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"It's just...... Your Majesty forgives your sins. "Liu Jie will not defend himself in front of the emperor.

"Liu Gong is not guilty." Han Ruzi reassured that there were not many credible and usable people around him, and each of them was worth cherishing, "Whoever quells the chaos will be summoned immediately." ”

Liu Jie was ordered to leave, and Cui Teng said, "He's right, right?" It's just a few people rushing into the city gate, it's really not a big deal, why should Your Majesty care about it? ”

At this time, even if only one person rushed into the city gate in broad daylight, Han Ruzi didn't think it was a trivial matter, looked at Cui Teng, and asked, "Why did the Flower Tiger King dare to bring a dozen people to Jincheng to save his father's assassination?" ”

Cui Teng was asked, "He...... Stupid, I don't think I can do it. ”

"He is not stupid at all, he dares to come, it must be because Yun Mengze takes the matter of his son saving his father very seriously, he has to come, and he comes voluntarily, otherwise he will be an unfilial person who everyone spurns in Yunmengze."

Cui Teng snorted, not understanding what this had to do with the ramming of the city gate.

Han Ruzi is explaining to himself, "There must be a group of brave companions behind the warriors, there must be a group of profit-seekers around the merchants, and the people dare to storm the city gate in broad daylight, it must be because the people in the city are panicking, many people want to go out of the city to surrender to the Huns, but there are a few people who dare to do it." ”

Cui Teng pondered for a long time, and vaguely felt that the emperor's words made sense, but he didn't understand them very much.

Han Ruzi looked at Meng E in the corner, she obviously understood what the emperor meant.

The general who quelled the rebellion at the city gate soon arrived, it was a young man, who looked younger than the emperor and was wearing armor, so he saluted the emperor with his fists in his fist, "Xie Cun, the captain of the city gate, greets Your Majesty." ”

"Flat. You're the son of Zanhou, aren't you? ”

The emperor actually recognized himself, Xie Cun was very surprised, "Yes, Your Majesty, Zanhou is the father of the family." ”

Han Ruzi nodded, on the way to Jincheng, the children of the powerful once took turns commanding the honor guard camp, Han Ruzi took the opportunity to observe, and had a good impression of several people, including this Xie Cun.

Xie Cun is not very old, but the march is arranged in an orderly manner, and the law enforcement is quite strict, the Zanhou family has been out of power for many years, but no powerful child dares to bully this young man of the Xie family.

"Well, tell me about the city gates."

"Yes, Your Majesty. About half an hour ago, the people of the city gathered at the southeast gate, about 300 people, and when I saw it at the gate, I led ten soldiers down the city, and did not allow the people to come near the gate. A quarter of an hour later, the five men were seduced and rushed to the city gates, and I spared them and blocked the people behind them with the soldiers. The five men ran some distance, found no one behind them, and turned back to their original places. We rushed into the crowd and the people scattered. ”

Han Ruzi nodded, feeling that Xie Cun had handled it well, and seeing that he seemed to have something to say, he raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"I sent soldiers to follow the two and found that they were servants of the Acting Palace."

Han Ruzi raised his eyebrows slightly, unexpectedly it wasn't that there was a servant in the Acting Palace's Mansion who wanted to surrender to the Xiongnu, "Why do you recognize that there is a problem with those two?" ”

"The other people were more excited and scared, and they stood with acquaintances as much as possible, but the two of them walked around the crowd and could talk to anyone, but they didn't seem to know everyone, so I suspected that they were instigators."

"Okay."

At Liu Jie's signal, Xie Cun bowed and retired.

When the others left, Cui Teng said: "This kid is good, won't Your Majesty give him a promotion?" ”

"There's no hurry." Han Ruzi summoned Zhang Jing, the head of the Criminal Department, and ordered him to work with the Jincheng Yamen to investigate the family and servants of the acting king.

The acting king died of fright, and his belongings were thrown out of the city by Deng Cui, and the whole family seemed to be very dissatisfied.

The people in the city were unstable, and the emperor should have personally come forward to appease him, but he couldn't show up in public now, in case the news spread that the emperor had no signs of poisoning at all, Hua Bin and others would lose the trust of the Huns, and Deng Cui would be in danger.

Han Ruzi must wait.

Until nightfall, the Huns did not prepare to attack the city, which was a good sign, and Han Ruzi's heart was a little more steady.

But Hua Bin and Gui Yuehua did not return to the city as promised, and in the next two days, they seemed to be missing, there was no movement in the tunnel, and Deng Cui's life and death were unknown.

On the third day of Deng Cui's exit from the city, the Huns defeated another Great Chu reinforcement, and this time the battle took place ten miles outside the city, which can be clearly seen from the head of the city.

At the end of the battle, the Xiongnu showed off their might as usual, and set up several pillars on the bank of the moat, on which the head was hung, and the Huahu King was escorted to the head of the city, and recognized one of them as belonging to Gui Yuehua. (To be continued.) )
