In order to tell the ancestors of the Taimiao and announce the return of the emperor, the Ministry of Rites and the Zongzheng Mansion have made full preparations to tell the ancestors, worship the heavens, worship the earth, summon the ministers, and amnesty the world...... The whole set of procedures had to last from morning to night, Han Ruzi cut off more than half of the links, and announced the end of the ceremony in only one hour, and he was the emperor of Great Chu again.

The Right Inspector Shi Shen Mingzhi was designated as the leader of the ministers, which meant that he would succeed him as prime minister.

But the emperor wanted to drive the expedition in person, but encountered a lot of resistance, in the palace of Qinzheng, dozens of ministers took turns to persuade the emperor to think twice, the reason is very sufficient: the court is not stable, the emperor leaves Beijing at this time, it will bring greater instability, even if the smooth elimination of Shangguan Sheng, it is more than worth the loss.

The ministers seemed to be very concerned about the emperor's safety, and some even wept bitterly, and asked for war one after another, willing to replace the emperor to exterminate the traitors.

Han Ruzi has seen similar records in the history books, and there are many, every time the emperor wants to do something out of the ordinary, the ministers will oppose it with all their might, not only to go on expeditions, but also to patrol hunting, build new palaces, change the old law, etc., it is difficult to say what the ministers really think, loyalty may also have calculations: it can not only show care for the emperor, but also establish a reputation, and the cost is very low, just kowtow and cry.

Only Emperor Wu is an exception, after he is middle-aged, there are fewer and fewer voices of public opposition, until there is none, after Emperor Huan ascended the throne, this practice resumed, no matter how much the ministers did not care about the emperor, they still had to be persuaded.

Han Ruzi sat on the throne this time and listened to the ministers talk about the many inappropriateness of the imperial car.

It took more than an hour, and after noon, the minister's stomach began to growl, and Han Ruzi announced: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade Aiqing again." ”

The persuasion continued for a short while, and finally stopped, and the actions of the ministers will be recorded in the annals of history, and posterity cannot accuse them of disloyalty, and that is enough.

But persuasion is not a waste of time, Han Ruzi listened to every reason for opposition, and some of them were indeed something he did not expect in advance, and the loopholes could be plugged in time.

He didn't intend to wait for the ministers to make up their minds, and directly issued the holy decree, and it took less than a quarter of an hour before and after, and the ministers were caught off guard, and before they could raise objections, the "political discussion" was over.

The first decree: In the name of the Empress Dowager, a decree was issued, announcing that the Great Chu Treasure Seal would be temporarily changed and replaced by another emperor's seal. But that unique treasure seal still has to be recovered, which is not only related to the face of the Great Chu court, but also indicates in the eyes of many people whether the position of the current emperor can last long.

The second will: The right patrol of the imperial history affirms that he will keep the post of prime minister, stay in the capital, and consult the queen mother in the palace for major and minor matters. This is a temporary appointment, and it is also a test of Shen Mingzhi, and only after passing it can he change from "keeping" to "appointing".

The third will: Liu Jie, the middle seal, was promoted to the middle supervisor, and Yang Feng, the middle servant, took over as the middle seal, but a little change was made in his duties, Yang Feng was not only in charge of the emperor's seal, but also in charge of the queen mother's seal.

Many ministers reacted, which means that after the emperor left Beijing, the real power was not the prime minister Shen Mingzhi, nor the queen mother, but a eunuch!

Some people wanted to kowtow against, but Han Ruzi didn't give them a chance, and immediately issued the fourth order: the southern and northern armies each sent 5,000 people, and he only brought 10,000 soldiers to conquer Shangguan Sheng.

The ministers blew up all of a sudden, temporarily forgetting the eunuch in power, and once again opposing the new expedition of the imperial driver, although Shangguan Sheng said that there were only a few thousand people, but he defeated tens of thousands of soldiers of the general Han Xing, and the emperor only took 10,000 people to the expedition, which was too child's play.

The voices were boiling, and the eunuch had to ring the small gong and ask everyone to shut up.

The emperor did not explain, and continued to issue the fifth decree: Zuocha Yushi Xiaosheng and Hongnong County Shouzhuo Ruhe jointly served as Qincha, patrolling all counties in the world, one responsible for supervising the administration of officials, and the other responsible for supervising disaster relief, for a period of half a year.

This is also a test, if Xiao Sheng does well, it is still possible to succeed as prime minister, what makes the ministers wonder is that Hongnong County Shouzhuo Ruhe, although this person is Emperor Wu's concubine, but his reputation is not obvious, and he is not even in the capital, and he will be selected by the emperor, which is really a strange thing.

Han Ruzi saw Zhuo Ruhe in Shang County, and remembered the sentence "The government seems to have food but it seems to have no food", so he decided to send him to disaster relief.

Letting the displaced people return to their hometowns is not the most urgent trouble for Da Chu, but it is the most fundamental problem, Han Ruzi can't free up his hands, so he has to choose Zhuo Ruhe, who is on the same side, instead.

When the ministers in the palace were pondering what was going on with Zhuo Ruhe, the emperor issued the sixth decree: appoint Zhang Yin, Marquis of Piyuan, as the general of the Su Guard, and immediately lead the Su Guard army to the frontier to garrison, and the first stop is the Broken Iron City.

The emperor made one more explanation: "This is a rotational guard, the southern army and the northern army guarded the frontier last year, and this year it is the turn of the Su guards." ”

The ministers were very supportive of this holy decree, and the Su Guards caused such a big mess and should be punished, and since the emperor had to personally conquer, the Su Guards could not stay in the capital.

Zhang Yin himself was not in the palace, and several ministers understood another intention of the emperor, and the Marquis of Biyuan could release his grandson Zhang Yanghao when he arrived in the Broken Iron City, but if he wanted to bring his grandson back to Beijing in the name of justice, he had to make a great contribution.

Han Ruzi didn't want to send Zhang Yin to the Western Regions immediately, and he was now more worried about the invasion of the Huns. It is a bit risky to appoint Zhang Yin to guard the northern frontier, although this old general has made a lot of military achievements, but he rarely has the experience of standing alone, Han Ruzi wants to take the opportunity to test the ability of the Marquis of Biyuan.

Another minister wanted to persuade the emperor to bring more troops and horses, and cancel the power of the eunuch Yang Feng, but Han Ruzi did not give them a chance to speak, and issued the seventh and eighth holy decrees one after another.

The seventh decree was simple: the king of the East China Sea was ordered to take his family to the country and set off with the emperor.

The ministers praised this holy decree in their hearts, the emperor personally recruited the courtiers, it was really a loss of face, and all dynasties would find a public excuse, such as patrolling, sealing Zen, etc., and the current emperor's excuse is more perfect, which can not only destroy Shangguan Sheng by the way, but also send the competitor Donghai King out of the capital, killing two birds with one stone.

The eighth and final decree is to allow the clan, nobles, and ministers to voluntarily join the army and protect the emperor who is personally on the march.

The ministers were overwhelmed by the emperor's several decrees, and were pondering the meaning of this last decree, the emperor announced the dissolution of the dynasty, before dark, the eight decrees must be officially promulgated, prepare tomorrow, and set out the day after tomorrow.

Prime Minister Shen Mingzhi began to get busy, he didn't want to upset the emperor on the first day of his appointment, for him, it was more important than anything else to remove the word "Shou" in front of "Prime Minister" as soon as possible.

Han Ruzi had lunch at Lingyun Pavilion, and then summoned a few real cronies.

He has nothing to say to Yang Feng, but he has to ask: "This expedition, can Yang Gong have a reminder?" ”

"Take a long detour and guard against assassins."

Han Ruzi smiled, Yang Feng really knew his heart best, this expedition, exterminate Shangguan Sheng Shang in the second, obtain the approval of the southern and northern armies, and announce the arrival of the emperor to all counties in the world, is the most important purpose, so Yang Feng suggested that the emperor take a long detour.

This is also the reason why Han Ruzi only brought 10,000 soldiers, and now the people's livelihood is withering, and too many people are afraid that they can't afford to support them.

Cai Xinghai and Chao Hua stayed in the capital to guard the palace, one inside the main and the other outside, all of whom accepted Yang Feng's moderation.

Liu Kunsheng, the commander of the Northern Army, also stayed, and took charge of the Northern Army and a part of the Southern Army that had supported Tihou outside the city, as long as there were no major mistakes, it was enough to suppress Cui Taifu's Southern Army.

The only generals who followed the emperor on the expedition were Chai Yue and Fang Daye.

Chai Yue also received a task to find an axe-wielding general among the Su Guards, and when Han Ruzi led his troops to attack the North City Gate, he almost died under this person's axe.

It was already evening when everything was arranged, Shen Mingzhi moved quickly, and all the eight holy decrees were officially promulgated, and at the same time, a large number of concerts poured into the prime minister's mansion and were sent to the palace through Zhongshu Province.

Everyone understands that the emperor said that he wanted everyone to join the army "voluntarily", but if they did not volunteer, their future would be ruined.

Han Ruzi approved all the applications, and in the last batch of applications, he saw the names of Cui Hong and Cui Teng, father and son.

Cui Hong's recital is very long, reviewing the contribution of the Cui family to Da Chu, secretly reflecting on the mistakes he had made, and persuading His Majesty to stay in the capital and voluntarily go to crusade against Shangguan Sheng.

It's already very late, Han Ruzi still went to see his mother, the queen mother had already rested, but Wang Meiren had been waiting for the emperor, and she didn't invite him into the palace, so she withdrew everyone at the gate and said solemnly: "Do you know how dangerous it is for the imperial driver?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded, he didn't consult anyone before making a decision, and guessed that his mother would not particularly agree, "It must be so, there are too many involved in the capital, I want to take Cui Taifu and others out of the capital, and act in military law, which is faster and more convenient, and can make the support of the southern and northern armies for me a little stronger, and when I return to the capital, it will be easier to deal with the minister." ”

Wang Meiren sighed, her son was right, bringing the hidden dangers out of the capital is indeed better to solve than in the capital, but it is also more dangerous, "the road is difficult and dangerous......

"That's better than being stuck in the same place and having no way out." Han Ruzi smiled, not particularly worried about the future.

Wang Meiren pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty, this is betting all your bets on Yang Feng." ”

The emperor drove the expedition in person, and Yang Feng would become the most powerful person in the capital, which was what Han Ruzi decided when he made the plan, "There must be a few credible people, otherwise I will really be alone." ”

Wang Meiren smiled and didn't say anything more.

Han Ruzi returned to his bedroom, and Queen Cui Xiaojun didn't sleep, and smiled when she saw the emperor.

"Your father and second brother have already taken the initiative to ask for war, as long as they are serious about fighting, I promise to return to Beijing with them, what else do you have to worry about?" Han Ruzi could see at a glance that the queen still had something on her mind.

Cui Xiaojun smiled reluctantly, "My father asked someone to look for me three times, and I also made a guarantee three times, what I was worried about was not this matter." ”

"What else? Don't worry, I can defeat Shangguan Sheng in a month at most, walk around the road, and I will definitely be back within three months. ”

Seeing the emperor's confident appearance, Cui Xiaojun's smile naturally became much more, and he quickly put away his smile and pointed to a sword on the table, "Do you recognize it?" ”

Han Ruzi had already noticed this sword, "Taizu Sword? ”

"Well, I heard that you're going to take it with you, I think you should bring it and ask for some luck, but ......"

"Taizu has been defeated in consecutive battles, does it make you worried? But Taizu won in the end. Han Ruzi walked to the table with a smile, picked up the sword, took out half of it and glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly.

Cui Xiaojun said: "Someone has transferred the Taizu Sword. (To be continued.) )
