As usual, Han Ruzi got up early, browsed the large number of pieces sent from the capital, and found a little way out of them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The king of the East Sea was right, the emperor could do as he pleased in some places, but in others he could not move an inch.

The emperor didn't ask for it at all, not even hinted, from the palace to the court has begun to take the initiative to meet his various needs, digging a pond here, building a summer palace there, suggesting that the emperor's biological mother be the second queen mother more and more, and the palace even began to choose concubines for the emperor, and the relevant ministries not only agreed, but also fully cooperated, without the slightest prevarication.

Yang Feng's reply on the concubine selection chapter was "without further ado".

If Han Ruzi is willing to live in the palace and indulge in all kinds of enjoyments, then he will live very comfortably, the only problem is that the throne may be unstable.

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, and was suddenly shocked, how long had he regained the throne, and he was already tired?

He went on to read the rest of the copies, which were more boring, but they showed the true workings of the imperial court, most of which were related to the appointment and dismissal of officials, as well as a large number of rewards, which had happened in the past period of time, and indeed needed to be rewarded for meritorious deeds.

The more he looked at it, the more angry he became, the capricious two imperial histories actually made first-class merits, and in the chapter, they were the initiators and executors who supported the emperor's reinstatement, and it may be recorded in the history books in the future.

The soldiers of the southern and northern armies who were born and died with the emperor received a large number of rewards, mainly gold and silver, cloth and silk, and land, but there were few promotions.

Chai Yue's previous position as a military official was not justified, but now it has been officially recognized, which is a step to the sky for a young general with little experience in the army.

As for Lin Kunsheng, Fang Daye and others, who led the main force of the Northern Army back to Beijing, their merits were even lower, and they were even inferior to many ministers who hid on both sides of their homes and watched.

Yang Feng all agreed, and even suggested adding some more rewards to the two imperial historians.

Han Ruzi really wanted to pull Yang Feng from the capital and ask him what was going on, obviously it was a "reward for meritorious deeds", but in the end, how did it become a "reward according to official position"? Taifu Cui Hong because of the highest grade, so the crime of disturbing the capital was written off, but the support of the Tongxuan Palace was written off, not only was he named a general, but even his son Cui Teng was made a marquis.

Cui Teng's meritorious service is not small, but it is not to the point of being a marquis, and this time the marquis has nothing to do with him, and he is completely inheriting his father's kindness.

Han Ruzi pushed away the chapter, angry and unsettled, he understood Yang Feng's intention: the world is not peaceful at the moment, it is not appropriate to build more strong enemies, but to appease the ministers of the DPRK and China, so that they have no resentment and fear.

After sitting quietly for a while, Han Ruzi became calm, thinking about it, Yang Feng's approach was actually the only choice at the moment, in this case, why bother to act unwillingly? It's better to greet each other with a smile, and it can also make the effect of soothing better.

He picked up the rest of the cantata, there was a piece of the cantata that was not a copy, and it was not approved, from the accompanying household servant Liu Zeqin, his actions were fast, and he had already formulated a plan on how to repay the wealthy merchants in Luoyang, and the emperor could promulgate it according to this decree after reviewing it.

This is the first time that Han Ruzi has reviewed the chapter by himself, and he is very concerned, and he is about to read it carefully, when Liu Jie, the central supervisor, came in to report that Wang Jianhuo had arrived.

Only then did Han Ruzi realize that noon was approaching, and he didn't go to the routine court meeting, and the court meeting presided over by Cui Hong and Liu Zeqin should have ended.

Zhang Youcai, Loach, and the four guards had been by the emperor's side, but they had been silent all morning, except for the occasional glass of water, as if they were not there.

Time passed like this, Han Ruzi watched a bunch of concerts, got angry for a while, and then the fire went out again, basically nothing was done.

Han Ruzi felt a trace of horror in his heart, and was even a little grateful for the arrival of the ugly king, at least this was one thing he could do at this moment.

The king of the East China Sea had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, and when he heard that the emperor was idle, he immediately slipped into the tent, and after saluting, he stood beside the emperor.

Wang Jianhuo walked into the tent and bowed respectfully, "The grass people heard that His Majesty had recovered the treasure seal, and they are very happy. ”

"Just heard?"

Wang Jianhuo did not answer.

"I heard that the whole of Luoyang is rumored that you are making a bet with me to see who can get back the treasure seal first, and some people have even opened a gambling game, and there are more people who are optimistic about you."

"It's just a rumor from a few people, it's not worth mentioning, the grass people did make a bet, but His Majesty didn't accept it, no matter who asked, this was the answer given to them by the grass people."

"If I accept the bet at this time, will I be considered a scoundrel?"

Wang Jianhuo's normal half of his face smiled slightly, even more terrifying, "Your Majesty accepts it at any time, it is the winning side, and it cannot be regarded as a scoundrel." ”

"In this case, if I win, you lose, not only do you lose everything, but dozens of people in the Wang family are also at my disposal."

"Whether to kill or release, it is up to His Majesty to decide." Wang Jianhuo was obedient like an old dog with loose claws.

Han Ruzi looked at the East Sea King, "Which punishment do you think is better?" ”

"Huh? I...... I think...... Exile, it's not a big sin either. ”

"No, this is a big crime of arrogance and humility, if the grass people in Luoyang can make me lose face, why should I sweep away the universe?"

The king of the East China Sea didn't care about the life and death of the ugly king, he came over to hear how the emperor was going to deal with the Tan family, but he opened his mouth at this time, not knowing how to answer.

"Wang Jianhuo, you are known for being heroic, you promise a thousand gold, you respond to every call, whether intentionally or unintentionally, you are competing with the court for the hearts of the people, this alone is a capital crime, do you plead guilty?"

"The grass people admit their guilt, the grass people are arrogant, as a man of cloth, but they make friends with heroes from all over the world, they are obsessed with welcoming and sending them off, they are proud of their chivalrous name, and they are not beneficial to the country at all, which is a great crime."

The King of the East Sea blinked, vaguely feeling that the two of them seemed to be acting, but he didn't understand what the intention was.

"Well, just confess. Let me think about it, the exile is too light, the death penalty is too painful - Wang Jianhuo, do you have a wife and children? ”

"The grass people know that they are ugly, and they have no intention of disturbing the women of good families, so far they have never been married, let alone children, their father died early, and there are still two siblings and seven brothers in the clan......"

"You don't plan to marry and have children in the future?"

Wang Jianhuo shook his head, "I don't have this plan." ”

"Very well, then I will sentence you to accept the punishment of corruption."

Wang Jianhuo was stunned, he thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this.

The King of the East China Sea was even more surprised, "Your Majesty wants him to be a eunuch?" ”

"Only those who enter the palace to do things are called eunuchs, but they are only corrupted, not eunuchs."

The king of the East China Sea still opened his mouth wide, the ugly king is a famous hero in the world, and a knife in the crotch is a great shame for him, and life is better than death.

"What about the Tan family?" The King of the East Sea asked in a low voice.

"The Tan family has nothing to do with this matter, Da Chu does not punish the innocent, as long as the Tan family is honest, it will naturally be fine, and there is no need for anyone to intercede, if it violates the criminal law, it is useless to intercede."

The king of Donghai understood that the emperor was transferring all his grievances to the ugly king and humiliating the ugly king with rotten punishment, but he let go of the Tan family and proved to the world that the ugly king's plea was meaningless.

The king of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Tan family was safe for a while, as for how long it could last, it was another matter, thinking of this, he began to feel that the emperor's move was poisonous enough, ruthless enough, and smart enough, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with the Tan family, it is the ugly king who is beyond his strength, and he has to challenge the majesty of His Majesty." ”

Han Ruzi kept staring at Wang Jianhuo, his extremely ugly face was frightened for a moment, and the warts trembled slightly, but they quickly returned to normal, and his eyes were as calm as ever.

"Grass people, thank you for your great kindness."

Han Ruzi didn't speak, and the king of the East China Sea said: "Wang Jianhuo, Your Majesty wants to use rotten punishment on you, and you are still grateful?" I can't help it. ”

The ugly king shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty specially asked the grass people if they were interested in marrying a wife and having children before the punishment, and the grass people replied 'unintentionally', which shows Your Majesty's benevolent heart." Since the things under the crotch of the grass people are useless, it doesn't matter if they are stabbed, it is said that there is a knife Liu in Luoyang Houfu, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the knife edge is very small, the tortured person can get out of bed in three days, and he can move freely in half a month, and he can appreciate this person's knife skills, and the grass people have no regrets. ”

The King of the East Sea couldn't believe his ears.

Han Ruzi also secretly admired this ugly king in his heart, and said to the others in the account: "Stand down, I want to talk to Wang Jianhuo alone." ”

No one moved, Wang Jianhuo was tall, his arms were slender and powerful, even if he was average, he could easily subdue the emperor, he had just received the corrupt punishment, and it was more possible to do it, and everyone did not dare to leave the two alone.

"Stand down." Han Ruzi repeated.

Zhang Youcai took a step forward and was about to speak, but was forced back by the emperor's gaze, did not dare to say a word, took the lead in exiting the tent, and the four guards retreated the slowest, and when they arrived at the door of the tent, they were still looking back frequently.

"Flat." Han Ruzi said.

Wang Jianhuo, who had been kneeling on the ground, stood up and looked at the emperor calmly.

"Where did the Treasure Seal come from?"

"Entrusted by someone, but I don't know who this person is, the grass people only saw the treasure seal and a note, which said, 'The things return to the original owner', the grass people are not the original owners, Your Majesty is." Wang Jianhuo paused for a moment, "So Your Majesty has won the gamble at the beginning, and the grass people are bold and reckless, delaying the return of the treasure seal for a few days, deliberately causing trouble, and deserving of the crime, and being willing to be punished." ”

Meng E must have had a last resort, so she took Baoxi all the way east, and finally entrusted Baoxi to the ugly king in Luoyang.

Han Ruzi became more and more confused.

"How did you get the Treasure Seal to the guard's tent?"

"The grass people know that their crimes are serious, and they are willing to suffer any punishment, but they dare not betray their friends."

Han Ruzi laughed, "Your sin is indeed very serious, so heavy that just a corrupt punishment is not enough to atone for your sin - do you want to be an official?" ”

Wang Jianhuo was stunned.

"There is a kind of official who is more painful than rotten punishment and more decisive than the death penalty, and that is the official who breaks the rules and dares to do things." Han Ruzi looked at Wang Jianhuo, he didn't know if he was doing the right thing, "Your Excellency prides yourself on being a chivalrous person, and the nameless person entrusts Baoxi, you must return to the original owner, the former enemy asks for help, you have to come forward to help at the cost of your own life, if there is chaos today, the people are not happy, and the people are looking forward to a promising official like begging for timely rain in a long dry land, can Your Excellency dare to take on this heavy responsibility?"
