In a fit of rage, Han Ruzi took the case and almost went to the camp of the "Children's Army" in person, immediately found out all the impostors, brought them back to the capital, and asked their parents for their crimes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But after all, he has been an emperor for a period of time, and he understands a truth, it is not appropriate for the emperor to solve many things personally, but it will complicate the problem.

He sat down again.

In Cui Teng's imagination, when the emperor asked for guilt, he was the one who stood by his side to protect the emperor, and glared angrily at the group of ugliness, showing that he was not only a close minister, but also an important minister and a loyal minister.

Seeing the emperor's hesitation, Cui Teng was greatly disappointed and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty has seen the most of your own family, so you can't bear to deal with it, right?" ”

"What?" Han Ruzi glanced at the list again, there were indeed the most children surnamed Han on it, shook his head and smiled: "It must be disposed of, but it is not up to me to do it myself, I am thinking about which yamen should manage this kind of thing, the Ministry of War?" Zongzheng Mansion? The General's Palace? Or just to the Prime Minister? ”

Cui Teng blinked, "Why do you need to be so troublesome?" Your Majesty used to be clean and neat, and now he ...... If Your Majesty does not trust the imperial court, why should he rely on the imperial court? If Your Majesty thinks it's not good to do it yourself, let me go, I can be a wicked person, so that none of those impostors can escape. ”

Han Ruzi was shocked in his heart, even Cui Teng knew that he didn't trust the court, so he could say it casually, in the long run, the court would lose power, and the most important weapon in the emperor's hands would become a blunt weapon and a rusty weapon.

"Call the King of the East China Sea."

"Ah, why did you call him? It's a clue I've worked so hard to find, and it has nothing to do with him. Cui Teng was not only disappointed, but also felt unfair.

Cui Teng made a mistake, and even the emperor had to be appeased, Han Ruzi said flatly: "You have to learn to use people, instead of fighting every day." ”

Han Ruzi pointed to his side, Cui Teng immediately ran over with a smile, the eunuch took two steps back, and gave him a place, although he was still standing, Cui Teng felt that he had become more important.

The eunuch went to spread the word to the king of the East China Sea and soon brought people back.

The King of the East Sea glanced at Cui Teng and saluted slightly to the side to avoid Cui Teng's direction.

Han Ruzi asked the eunuch to transfer the list to the king of the East China Sea.

"This is ......" the King of the East Sea did not understand.

Cui Teng said proudly: "There are impostors in the 'Zidi Army', this is the list, and it is only a small part. ”

"Oh." The King of the East Sea smiled and returned the list to the eunuch.

"What are you?" Cui Teng's face was serious, "As if you know this, since you know, why didn't you tell Your Majesty earlier?" ”

The king of the East China Sea ignored Cui Teng and said to the emperor: "If my guess is correct, this is the so-called 'substitute soldier', there should be, and there are many, I had one before, and Cui Teng also has it." ”

Cui Teng was furious, "What substitutes? I've never even heard of it! ”

The king of the East China Sea still ignored him, and only spoke to the emperor, "According to the rules, all the sons of the clan or family, when they reach the age, must be paid and teachers by the imperial court, just like literature or martial arts." It's okay to learn literature, it's too hard to learn martial arts, and many families feel sorry for their sons, so they raise a 'substitute soldier', who is about the same age as his son, and specializes in entering the military camp for his son. ”

Cui Teng said again: "That's you, pampered, I don't have it, our family has never used 'substitute soldiers'." ”

The East Sea King's gaze finally turned to Cui Teng and asked, "From childhood to adulthood, you have entered the military camp several times. ”

"Countless."

"It's not about going in to have fun, it's about practicing with the soldiers, how many times have you had?"

Cui Teng was speechless for a while, in his memory, the military camp seemed to be a place for games, drinking, fighting, and women...... It's a lot.

"So you also have a 'substitute soldier', but the Cui family is powerful, so you don't need to raise a living 'substitute soldier', just use a pen to tick it, and it's all solved. If you don't believe it, if you look at the records of the Ministry of War, under Cui Teng's name, there must be no shortage of more than ten years of military career. ”

Cui Teng was stunned for a while, "Aren't you the same?" ”

The King of the East China Sea nodded, "I have lived in Cui Mansion since I was a child, and I use my uncle to handle everything, and of course there is a 'substitute soldier' on paper. Alas, I prefer a living person, like a stand-in for myself, which is quite interesting. ”

Cui Teng hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't know...... It was all in the past, but now I am really standing in front of His Majesty, and there is no falsehood at all. ”

Han Ruzi snorted, becoming more and more interested in this matter, and said to the king of the East China Sea: "Could it be that there are also soldiers on paper in this 'child army'?" ”

The King of the East China Sea thought for a while, "That's not necessarily, those who can have 'substitutes' on paper are all great clans, Your Majesty may have seen it a long time ago, and on the occasion of Your Majesty's personal appearance, they don't dare not come, and they don't dare to use stand-ins." He pointed to the list on the table, "On the contrary, those small and medium-sized families that His Majesty usually does not see, dare to use substitute soldiers." ”

Han Ruzi sneered, Zhao Ruosu stayed in the city, and had to ask the King of the East China Sea for many things, "Which yamen should be in charge of this kind of thing?" ”

"It depends on what Your Majesty plans to do with it."

"Be more detailed."

"If you want to kill chickens and monkeys and make an example, you will hand it over to Zongzheng Mansion and only investigate the clan and the children of relatives. The Zongzheng Mansion will severely reprimand these people, and let their fathers and brothers write a letter to ask for guilt, and it is up to His Majesty to decide how magnanimous he will be. ”

"Generous? All the hair went to fill the army...... "Cui Teng hurriedly shut up, the courtiers must not make decisions for the emperor, and they are relatives, so it is better to be careful when speaking.

The King of the East Sea continued: "If you want to carry out a comprehensive purge of the 'Disciple Army', then hand it over to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will definitely be able to find out all the 'substitute soldiers', all of them will be retired, and they will be ordered to return to the army and severely punished by military law, but only themselves, and they will have nothing to do with their father and brother. ”

"It's the father and brother who raise the 'substitute soldiers', how can they let it go easily?" Cui Teng couldn't help but interject again.

The king of the East China Sea continued: "If you want to be more widely implicated, then the Ministry of Etiquette has to come forward, once it involves violating etiquette, it is a big matter, there is a suspicion of bullying the king, a large number of officials will be imprisoned for this, even the Ministry of War will be investigated, and the officials over there must at least be responsible for negligence." ”

"That's pretty much it." Cui Teng nodded.

The king of the East China Sea only looked at the emperor, "If you really want to dig it up, you have to unite all the ministries, the prime minister will personally interrogate, and the entire court will be thoroughly investigated." So this matter can be big or small, and everything depends on His Majesty's choice. ”

Cui Teng looked at the emperor expectantly, hoping that the matter would be as big as possible, in that case, the credit he had made would be big enough, and muttered: "Cui Fu must know these things, but he didn't tell me, wait for me to go back and clean him up." ”

The king of the East China Sea smiled, Cui Fu was only a poor relative of the Cui family, how could he know so many ways?

Han Ruzi has not expressed his position, and he already understands the intention of the King of the East China Sea, and the King of the East China Sea deliberately said that the situation is becoming more and more serious, in fact, he is persuading the emperor to make a big deal small, and there is no need to make a big move.

"Let's ...... these people first Find it. Han Ruzi considered the words and didn't say "arrested".

Cui Teng couldn't distinguish these detailed differences, and immediately took the order, "Yes, Your Majesty, I'll arrest people, and if I find that there are other 'substitutes', I will arrest them all." ”

Han Ruzi raised his hand to stop Cui Teng, and said to the king of the East China Sea: "You go, you don't need a will, send a message to the generals of the army, and let them bring people over." ”

The king of the East China Sea understood in his heart, knowing that His Majesty didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

As soon as the King of the East China Sea left, Cui Teng said eagerly: "How can Your Majesty let him arrest people?" The King of the East China Sea will definitely let go of all the 'substitutes'. ”

"Don't worry." Han Ruzi actually didn't want to startle the snake, at least he had to find out how many ministers were involved, and then decide which yamen would handle the matter.

Cui Teng didn't trust the King of the East China Sea, and kept whispering in his mouth: "I think it's going to be bad......"

really made him right, the king of the East China Sea came back soon, and he did not bring the generals of the "Zidi Army" and the "substitute soldiers", but Cai Xinghai.

Both of them looked serious.

Cai Xinghai said: "There has been a sudden epidemic in the camp of the 'Zidi Army', and dozens of people have been infected, please Your Majesty immediately drive back to the city." ”

Cui Teng pointed at the King of the East China Sea and was about to speak, but the emperor glanced at him and shut up.

There must be fraud in the epidemic, but this has nothing to do with the king of the East China Sea, the time is too short, and he has no time to deceive.

"How did the plague happen?" Han Ruzi asked.

"It may be that I am not adapted, and I had a seizure last night." Cai Xinghai didn't know about the "substitute soldiers", he had just received news that he met the king of the East China Sea who was going out of the camp, and came to see the emperor together, "After all, there are more sons and brothers in that camp." ”

"Well, I know, dozens of people are not too seriously ill, and they are sent to the imperial doctor with the army to treat them. This kind of thing will inevitably happen during the march, so it is better to train the troops. ”

"But Your Majesty ......"

"Needless to say, I won't go back to the capital because of this little thing."

Cai Xinghai had no choice but to retreat and go to find the imperial doctor of the army, and at the same time strengthen the defense, and did not allow the men and horses of the "children's army" to leave the camp.

The king of the East China Sea said: "It seems that the news has been leaked, and preparations have been made over there." ”

"King of the East Sea, are you talking about me?" Cui Teng asked loudly.

Han Ruzi said: "It's indeed leaked, Cui Teng, tell me how you got the news?" ”

Cui Teng was helpless and told his cousin Cui Fu and informant Yang Keyi.

Han Ruzi and Donghai glanced at each other, and they both understood what was going on: Yang Keyi reported to Cui Teng, and Cui Fu told the "Zidi Army" again, I don't know whose idea was to pretend to be an epidemic.

"It seems that there are smart people in the 'children's army'." Han Ruzi said with a smile.

"To be clever in front of His Majesty is the greatest stupidity." The East China Sea King Road.

Cui Teng glared at the King of the East China Sea, feeling that the King of the East China Sea was a smart person.

"What now?" Han Ruzi asked.

"It's up to Your Majesty." The king of the East China Sea understood that the emperor had already made up his mind, and there was no need to talk too much.

Han Ruzi still thought for a while, "Pretending to be sick is just an expedient measure, I can't stay, the 'Zidi Army' will have to come to see me sooner or later, and the 'smart people' in the camp must be delaying time - the king of the East China Sea, Cui Teng, you two lead five hundred soldiers, wait on the official road, and the people from the capital will see one and catch one by one." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The king of the East China Sea answered.

Cui Teng was inexplicable, "The 'substitute soldiers' are all in the barracks, why are you arresting people from the capital?" ”

The king of the East China Sea explained for the emperor: "The 'substitute soldiers' are all in the barracks, but the original owner is in the city. It is just a day's journey to the capital here, and if the horse is fast, it will take less, and tonight, we will have a harvest. ”

Cui Teng realized that he was excited again, gearing up, and preparing to arrest people. (To be continued.) )
