Being the emperor is very easy, Han Ruzi does nothing, and it does not affect the operation of the imperial court and the stability of the world, being the emperor is also very cumbersome, every move can directly affect a few people and tens of thousands of people, ascending the throne is a rare event, the impact is especially significant, thousands of people are busy for this, and the Ministry of Rites is the most important executor.

The Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites will personally explain to the emperor the etiquette system when he ascends the throne, and the adventure plan of the King of the East Sea will be used on this person.

"The minister has always supported the emperor and opposed the inner palace to interfere in politics, what is the name of the Ministry of Rites...... Yuan Jiuding, tomorrow you secretly give him a royal decree, and let him call on the Manchu Dynasty ministers to save him. ”

Han Ruzi shook his head with a smile, "No, the ministers surrounded the Queen Mother's dormitory and Taimiao last time, and it didn't seem to have much effect." ”

"That's different, last time the ministers acted spontaneously, and without the imperial decree, no one took the lead, so hundreds of people only dared to move, not to move, with your will, the action against the Queen Mother was justified."

"How...... Get the Imperial Decree? Do you want to talk to the Ministry of Rites directly? Han Ruzi was a little moved.

"Of course not, there must be someone next to you who is watching, and you have to issue a secret edict."

"Secret edict?"

"yes, that's the kind of ...... I have seen it in the book, it is called the edict of the clothes belt, you write the will on the belt and quietly hand it to Yuan Jiuding, and he will understand it at once. ”

"Has an emperor done this before?" Han Ruzi was very surprised, and became more interested in this idea.

"Do you only learn to write, not to read?"

"My mother told me a lot of stories."

The King of the East China Sea couldn't help laughing, sneered, glanced back at the door, and whispered: "This is the story of the previous dynasty, it is recorded in the history books, and the first edict of this dynasty is written by you." ”

"Write what?"

"I don't have to teach you everything, just write that you are under house arrest, and ask the ministers to abolish the Queen Mother and rescue you from the palace immediately."

"Want to abolish the Queen Mother?"

"Shhhhh There was another sound of footsteps outside, and the king of the East China Sea returned to his futon and hissed: "Tonight, you write the edict of the clothes and belts, and hand it over to Yuan Jiuding tomorrow, at most three days, the ministers will be able to do things, and then you will give me the throne, if you dare to repent, I will let the Cui family kill you." Also, it had to be written on the emperor's special clothes to gain trust, not paper. ”

Han Ruzi still had a lot of doubts, but when the door opened, Jing Yao walked in, kneeling at the door, with nothing under his knees, and no squeak, it seemed that he wanted to accompany the two of them to the end.

For the rest of the day, Han Ruzi and the King of the East China Sea had no chance to communicate, they could only exchange glances occasionally, the King of the East China Sea became more and more determined, but Han Ruzi's confidence became less and less, but he wanted to leave the palace and return to his mother, so he was willing to take any risk.

It is not easy to write an edict, except for the fasting period, there are never a few people around Han Ruzi, and even when he sleeps at night, there are people who sleep on chairs and couches in the same room, sometimes eunuchs, sometimes palace maids, and they will wake up at the slightest sound.

Until he got up in the early morning of the next day, Han Ruzi didn't find a chance to write on the belt.

On the eleventh day of fasting, Han Ruzi's daily life had an extra procedure, and after getting up, he had to go to the queen mother to say goodbye.

The waiter Zuo Ji came to pick up the emperor in person, and after the standard bow, the young eunuch began to show his difference, other eunuchs and palace maids always tried to avoid communicating with the emperor, not even a look, but Zuo Ji was smiling, like a kind uncle or big brother, and his tone also carried the easy-going and teaching of the elders.

"Filial piety comes first, as an emperor, you want to set an example for the people of the world, is Your Majesty willing to do filial piety for your mother?"

"Yes." Han Ruzi misses her biological mother who was isolated outside the palace all the time.

"Who is Your Majesty's mother?"

Han Ruzi did not answer.

Zuo Ji waited for a while and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's mother is the current Empress Dowager, and her surname is Shangguan, Your Majesty can call her 'Queen Mother' or 'Queen Mother'." ”

"My mother is...... Dowager. Han Ruzi really couldn't say the word "queen mother".

Zuo Ji did not force it, and continued: "The Queen Mother is Your Majesty's only mother, except for the gods and ancestors, only the Queen Mother in the whole world can accept Your Majesty's bowing, not because the Queen Mother's status is higher, but because Your Majesty wants to show filial piety to the world." ”

"Hmm." Han Ruzi responded.

"Anyone other than the Queen Mother, no matter how old or qualified they are, is a subject of His Majesty, and must not be on an equal footing with His Majesty, even the Imperial Concubine Shangguan and the King of the East China Sea."

"Hmm."

"Does Your Majesty have any other mother?"

Han Ruzi nodded, immediately shook his head again, and whispered: "I only have one mother, who is the current queen mother. "I still think about my biological mother outside the palace.

Zuo Ji was satisfied, "Filial piety must be sincere, and outsiders can be deceived by inconsistencies on the outside, but they can't deceive themselves, and they can't deceive the gods of the underworld." ”

Han Ruzi thought that he could finally see the queen mother herself, but he just kowtowed outside the bedroom door, and said according to Zuo Ji's instructions, "The child asks the queen mother to say goodbye", a palace maid walked out of the house, and said a few words politely, and the ceremony ended.

On the way back to the emperor's residence, Zuo Ji explained: "The Queen Mother has been overworked and unwell these days, and Her Majesty is about to officially ascend the throne, and the Queen Mother does not want to affect Your Majesty's mood at this time. ”

No matter what Zuo Ji said, Han Ruzi just thought yes, he had nothing to say, and he didn't want to lie.

The Empress Dowager's residence is called Cishun Palace, and the emperor should have lived in Tai'an Palace, but in view of the fact that the new emperor has not yet married, he was placed in a small courtyard not far from Cishun Palace.

The East Sea King lives next door, but neither of them can move around at will, and they can only meet on formal occasions.

The official occasion this morning was a ceremony by the Ministry of Rites.

Yuan Jiuding, a man in his sixties, was a majestic man with a slightly obese figure, so he was more dignified, and he brought two deputies and ten doctors of Taixue to explain and demonstrate the different stages of the enthronement ceremony.

In less than four years, there have been two emperors on the throne of Great Chu, Han Ruzi will be the third, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are very experienced in this area, as much as possible to reduce the burden of the new emperor, what Han Ruzi has to do is basically to put on a heavy court robe, set off from the Taimiao, pass through two palaces, and finally sit on the dragon chair to accept the worship of civil and military officials.

After only one time, Han Ruzi remembered it, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not at ease, and asked to demonstrate it every morning for the next few days, striving to be accurate, and even calculating how many steps to take, and it is said that these details are all profound and indicate the future of the emperor.

Han Ruzi really wanted to ask his father and brother what went wrong when they ascended the throne.

Probably in order to compete with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the palace sent a large number of attendants, twice as many as the ministers, Jing Yao and Zuo Ji guarded the new emperor on the left and right, and the old ministers who performed the ceremony could only speak through people.

Even if Han Ruzi wrote an edict, he couldn't pass it on to any official.

The king of the East China Sea followed the team of eunuchs and attendants, full of jealousy and expectation, and from time to time he made a look, and when he saw that Han Ruzi did not react, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

In the afternoon, the two continued to fast in the ashram, Jing Yao and Zuo Ji took turns kneeling at the door to accompany them, and Yang Bong still did not appear.

Another day passed, Zuo Ji's surveillance relaxed a little, and he didn't know what to do when he quit the quiet room for a while, and the King of the East China Sea seized the opportunity, pounced on Han Ruzi's side, and stretched out his hand, "What's the matter?" What about the edict? Why the delay? ”

"I can't do it."

"What can't be done? You're so stupid that you can't pretend to fall or something? ”

"I can't write, there's always someone in the room."

"Oh my God!" The King of the East Sea slapped himself twice on the head, "Haven't you ever had a servant by your side?" Thou art the master, and give them orders to go down to the river to catch fish in the winter, to catch fireflies in the summer, and to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to find food...... That's what they do, so could it be that the servants have to sleep until dawn? You ......"

The eunuch Zuo Ji walked in quietly and said with a smile: "King of the East China Sea, there is a crown of Taizu enshrined here, it is not appropriate for you to look like this." ”

The King of the East Sea returned to the futon in embarrassment, "Maybe it's because I didn't eat in the morning, I was a little dizzy just now, so I knelt down, I heard that Taizu is very kind to the descendants of his clan, will he forgive me?" ”

Zuo Ji knelt at the door and didn't ask, and the king of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, and he was honest all afternoon.

The problem was left to Han Ruzi, of course he had servants, not many, Mother Wang Meiren has always been polite to these servants, and has never made strange requests, therefore, it is a very easy thing for the King of the East China Sea, but it is a little difficult to get to Han Ruzi.

Han Ruzi thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with an idea after dinner.

He first claimed that he wanted to practice calligraphy, but the two eunuchs in the room were very obedient, and immediately laid out the paper and ink, Han Ruzi's handwriting was not very neat, writing one and losing the other, and the particularly dissatisfied ones were simply torn to pieces, and the two eunuchs were picked up one by one.

There wasn't so much paper to squander in the room, and seeing that the paper was about to run out, one eunuch withdrew to get the paper, and Han Ruzi pretended to be casual and said to the other eunuch, "Get me a cup of tea." ”

"Your Majesty should be resting......" The eunuch hesitated.

"A glass of white water is fine, I'm thirsty." Han Ruzi tried his best to imitate the tone of the East China Sea King.

The other eunuch also bowed out, and Han Ruzi brushed a little bit on the paper, then quickly tore off a small piece of the paper and folded it and held it in the palm of his left hand.

Every piece of clothing in the room is guarded by a special person, and Han Ruzi really can't write any "clothes and ribbon edicts" with it.

Things went more smoothly than he expected, the two eunuchs quickly returned, and found nothing, Han Ruzi went to bed after drinking water, and barely closed his eyes for the rest of the night.

The next morning's dressing and subsequent bathing were the most troublesome, for he had to be served naked by a group of eunuchs and court maids, with small paper packets that were not easy to hide, palms, necklines, belts, and cuffs...... Han Ruzi kept transferring this little secret, and finally it was not discovered.

Then it was handed over to Shangshu Yuan Jiuding of the Ministry of Rites, this step was even more difficult, there were always at least two eunuchs between Han Ruzi and the minister, and there was no chance of contact.

The king of the East China Sea was still following the attendant team, and guessed through eye contact that the "edict of clothes and belts" had been written, and his heart was more anxious than Han Ruzi, and when the morning ceremony was about to end, the king of the East China Sea tripped over the threshold and pounced forward, pushing the whole team to pieces.

Han Ruzi finally had a chance to fall on the body of the Ministry of Rites.

The king of the East China Sea apologized vigorously after getting up, but for the officials and many eunuchs who performed the ceremony, this was a big accident, no one dared to blame the king of the East China Sea, a group of people knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and then discussed a solution, so as not to regenerate when he officially ascended the throne.

Fasting in the afternoon, the king of the East China Sea couldn't wait to ask as soon as he had the opportunity, "Did you succeed?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded, he had already stuffed the paper bag into the belt of the Ministry of Rites, Yuan Jiuding must have noticed it at that time, but he didn't show anything, which seemed to be a good sign.

"The big thing has been accomplished, wait, we will soon be able to escape the control of the Queen Mother." The King of the East Sea confidently prophesied.
