After Zhang Yanghao left, no one came to harass him, and the first night of the abolished emperor was finally spent safely, Han Ruzi lay on the cold and hard bed, tossing and turning, and the appearance of the first time he saw Cui Xiaojun always appeared in his mind: a few strands of wet hair on his thin face, and his big eyes were both panicked and calm.
No matter whose daughter she is, she is her own wife, and she must be brought to her side, Han Ruzi made up her mind again.
Yang Bong said that he came up with an idea, but he refused to reveal it at the time, but asked the tired Hou to wait patiently.
It was very cold at night, there was not even a pot of charcoal in the Hou Mansion, Han Ruzi couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up, wrapped himself in a quilt and looked at the study, his eyes slowly adapted to the night, and according to the impression during the day, he could roughly see the furnishings in the room.
The bookshelf should be filled with books first, the table should be placed with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there is no need to keep the smoker in the corner, so there should be another weapon rack and a few swords...... Will Meng E come to teach herself internal skills again? After picking up Cui Xiaojun, what will the Cui family react to? There is also the King of the East China Sea, if he really succeeds to the throne, even if he is just a puppet, he is a great threat to himself......
When Han Ruzi woke up, it was already dawn, and he was lying on his side on the bed wrapped in a quilt, his body curled up.
Zhang Youcai knocked on the door and came in, rubbing his hands and sighing, "It's so cold, it's so cold that I'm not hungry, no." It's hungrier. I just can't feel it. My stomach was frozen. The host hasn't eaten for a day, so he's hungry, right? ”
Han Ruzi got up and stomped his feet, "Like you, I don't feel hungry." ”
"You should find a fat palace maid to warm the quilt for the master......"
Han Ruzi shook his head again and again, he drove away all the servants last night, this study belonged to him alone, and he didn't want outsiders to set foot at will.
Cai Xinghai shouted outside the house: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat." Come out, everyone, fresh, hot meal! ”
"Even Brother Cai doesn't follow the rules, are we beggars?" Zhang Youcai ran to the door, "I'll go and bring it to the master." ”
As soon as he pushed the door open, Cai Xinghai had already brought it, Zhang Youcai received it in his hand, stopped after just a glance, and said in surprise: "Hey, why is it just rice porridge and pickles?" I guess I got it from the street. ”
"I bought it with money, and there are no shops in Baiwang Lane. I bought it after running a long way, so please deal with it first. Yang Gong has already sent someone to buy rice, flour, and firewood. ”
"That's too basic." Zhang Youcai looked at the hot rice, his throat squirmed, and he kept swallowing saliva.
"Come on, I'm already feeling hungry." Han Ruzi shouted.
Zhang Youcai put the tray on the bookcase, his eyes still staring at the rice porridge.
"Go out to dinner, you're making me feel uncomfortable staring at me here." Han Ruzi said with a smile, his heart beat happily at the thought of not having to visit the Queen Mother or sitting all day long.
The rice porridge is sweet, the pickles are crisp and salty, it is a perfect match, Han Ruzi couldn't stop after tasting it, and soon finished eating a bowl, and praised Cai Xinghai who was standing at the door: "I didn't expect that there was such a delicacy outside the palace, and it was rare that the method was simple, just broken rice and radish." ”
Cai Xinghai said with a smile: "Tired Hou, this is really hungry, and I don't feel good after eating it." ”
Yang Feng walked in and said to Han Ruzi, "Have you eaten well?" Let's go. ”
"Where are you going?" Han Ruzi stood up, thinking that Yang Feng was going to pick up Cui Xiaojun.
Yang Feng glanced at the simple study, "No matter what, you are also a liehou, go and come with me to bring everything that the marquis mansion should have." ”
"What should the Hou Mansion have?" Han Ruzi didn't know anything about this.
"Come with me." Yang Feng turned around, and Han Ruzi followed.
After all, Cai Xinghai already has a position, it is not appropriate to go out with the tired marquis, the little eunuch Zhang Youcai ate three bowls of porridge in the wing, and when he saw the tired marquis and Yang Feng were leaving, he put down the bowl and chased out of the room, "Wait for me!" ”
Another little eunuch came out of the opposite room, frowning, and constantly tugging at his clothes, as if he was very upset, but he also followed behind the tired marquis.
"Who are you?" Zhang Youcai asked in surprise.
"My name is Du Chuanyun, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Flying Dragon Man, what is your name?"
"My name is Zhang Youcai, oh, you're the kid from last night, you're from the rivers and lakes, what's the ...... How can you also be a eunuch? ”
"Phew, I'm not a eunuch, I'm hiding my identity and protecting your master."
"That can't take my place." Zhang Youcai felt threatened, and took a few steps first, getting closer to the master, "Since you are hiding your identity, why are you telling me your name and nickname?" Isn't that a leak? ”
"Hey, you guy doesn't know what to do......"
The two teenagers quarreled as they walked, and when they reached the gate, Yang Feng shouted: "Shut up from now on, and you can't speak until you return home, understand?" ”
"If he doesn't speak, I won't speak." Zhang Youcai said.
"Just don't provoke." Du Chuanyun was even more unconvinced, he was older, but his body was thin and small, and there was not much difference from Zhang Youcai.
There were two horses tied outside the door, one for Yang Feng and one for Tired Hou, and the other two could only follow on foot, Zhang Youcai didn't feel anything, but Du Chuanyun felt that it was unfair, and he opened his mouth just to speak, but when he saw Zhang Youcai's eyes, he closed his mouth again.
Han Ruzi had only learned riding skills in the palace for a few days, and he could barely control his mount, and the road was covered with snow, so he didn't dare to go too fast.
Yang Feng didn't urge, he drove side by side with him, and said as he walked: "The Lord of the Returning Rites Department of the Tired Marquis Mansion is in charge, and if you lack something, you will ask them for it; You are a tired marquis, and you have no fiefdom, but you have a salary in the household department, and you have 8,000 households for food and rent, which is quite a lot, and you can compare with some small princes; You are a child of the clan, and you still have an income in the Zongzheng Mansion. Since they won't take the initiative to send it, let's ask for it. ”
"Can you come?" Han Ruzi had never asked anyone for anything, so he wasn't very confident.
"We'll find out later. There are also Jingzhao Yin Yamen and the City Patrol Division, there is such a big movement in Baiwang Lane, they don't even come to check it, it's really a dereliction of duty. Finally, go to the camp again. Sue Yu Lin Wei and Hu Benwei. ”
"But we have already promised Zhang Yanghao ......"
"Don't mention his name."
Yang Feng arranged the day's events quite full. Han Ruzi had no bottom in his heart. Secretly thinking to myself, since those yamen were unwilling to do their duty at the beginning, I am afraid that there will be no result if they rush to find it, they were puppets when they were emperors, and now they have become abolished emperors, and no one cares.
But he didn't say anything, wanting to see what means Yang Feng would use.
After leaving Baiwang Lane, the streets began to be lively. The snow on the road was trampled on, people came and went, no one recognized the abolished emperor, and they only glanced at the three eunuchs twice.
Han Ruzi had never seen so many people, and there were quite a few people when he ascended the throne, but those honor guards, ministers, and eunuchs were all like puppets, either standing still, or walking in unison, unlike the people on the street, walking under their feet. No one cares about anyone else.
Han Ruzi likes the atmosphere on the street very much. I just feel that it is too noisy, which makes the ears that are used to being quiet a little unbearable.
Zhang Youcai became excited again, his mouth never closed, his eyes were straight, and Du Chuanyun, who was walking side by side with him, laughed from time to time.
The Tired Marquis Mansion is in the north city, and the Ministry of Rites is located outside the south gate of the palace.
There are a lot of ministries and yamen in this area, the doors are all tall and solemn, looking to the north, you can see the towering Tai'an Hall through the city wall. There are soldiers guarding the entrance of the ya, ordinary people dare not approach, Yang Feng, Zhang Youcai, and Du Chuanyun are all dressed as eunuchs, and as soon as they stop, some doormen come up to ask An for questions.
Yang Feng didn't get off the horse either, and said: "Lord Shangshuyuan of the Ministry of Rites is discussing politics in the Qinzheng Palace, who is the adult who stays here to sit in the hall?" ”
The doorman was startled, knowing that this eunuch was unusual, "Father-in-law, it is Ning Shilang who is sitting in the hall today." ”
"Call him out, and the lord Langzhong, call out together."
The doorman was startled again, "May I ask who is this?" ”
Han Ruzi was young and didn't dress like an official, so the doorman guessed that he was a nobleman.
Yang Feng frowned, "Let your adults come out, they will recognize you." ”
The doorman was also a man who had seen the world, and the more he looked at the noble man on horseback beside the old eunuch, the more strange he became, and as he looked at it, the old eunuch's horsewhip flicked over, and there was a crisp sound above his head, followed by an angry shout: "Don't go quickly!" ”
The doorman ran into the yamen with his head in his hands, as if he had really been whipped.
Han Ruzi asked in a low voice, "Is it necessary...... Is that so? ”
Yang Fengdao: "According to the normal procedure, we will not be able to see the person in charge for at least three days, can we wait?" ”
Han Ruzi stuck out his tongue, "I'll watch more and talk less." ”
The soldiers and doormen at the entrance of the yamen were all pointing fingers, Yang Feng didn't care, a person in official uniform walked out of it, standing in the door and looking, Yang Feng recognized that this was a low-grade petty official, and ignored it, but he stood in front of the tired marquis, not letting the other party see it.
The petty officer looked left and right, and went back with a puzzled expression, and after a while, an official in his fifties walked out, and the soldiers and doorkeepers at the door immediately bowed and saluted.
The official's expression was cold, like a person who was sleeping soundly was woken up by force, very impatient, and he was also standing inside the door, and the junior official who came out for the first time ran out and said to Yang Feng: "Which father-in-law is Your Excellency, why don't you even hand over the poster?" ”
Yang Feng ignored him, patted the horse and took two steps forward, letting the tired Hou behind him.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites inside the door finally saw the appearance of the person who came, no one else recognized it, but he could recognize it, when the emperor ascended the throne and abdicated, he was present and secretly glanced at it a few times.
But he couldn't believe it, rubbed his eyes, suddenly screamed, turned around and ran, startling everyone at the door, in their impression, adults had never been so out of shape.
The petty officer who was left behind didn't understand what was going on, but his attitude became more and more respectful, and he clenched his fists and retreated, "Please wait, wait a while, I'll ...... it"
The petty official turned around and ran into the yamen.
Han Ruzi couldn't help but whisper again, "Shall we just wait?" ”
Yang Feng snorted coldly, "Tired Hou is now the number one evil star in the world, standing at the door of which ministry and department, the officials will be scared away, wait, we will have what we want later." ”
Han Ruzi was surprised and amused, he didn't expect that the abolished emperor would have such a big impact.
Du Chuanyun, who was standing on the ground, heard the two of them talking, and couldn't help but interject: "Isn't this a scoundrel?" This is often used by local gangsters. ”
Yang Feng said coldly: "It is the gangsters who blackmail the people, and it is the heroes who blackmail the royal family." ”
Han Ruzi was dumbfounded, he was still besieged by gangsters and officers and soldiers last night, but now he is blackmailing the government by means of gangsters, between dark and bright, the difference is too big, and he can't understand it for a while
