For nine days, Han Ruzi's life remained the same: he got up before sunrise, and a team of palace maids and eunuchs lined up to dress him and put on a hat, and then went to another room, where several other eunuchs and palace maids took off their clothes, bathed in a bucket, and after a quarter of an hour, they changed into a new set of clothes and hats, transferred to a small room with bright windows, knelt on the futon, stared at the clothes left by the founding ancestor, and could not eat the first meal until the afternoon.

Such a life is called fasting.

Strictly speaking, Han Ruzi is not the emperor of Great Chu, he has been introduced to the ancestors in the Taimiao, but he still has to go through a series of ceremonies to meet the Manchu civil and military, and the whole process is greatly streamlined, it still takes half a month to complete.

Inside and outside the palace, the whole court was busy with the enthronement, only Han Ruzi was idle, kneeling in the quiet room every day, rumbling in his stomach, checking over and over again how many insect eyes there were on Taizu's clothes, or admiring the murals on the wall, no one explained the content of the painting to him, he guessed that this was the previous battle when Taizu fought for the world.

The thick and colorful picture does not look tragic, Taizu's army can always achieve a one-sided victory, the enemy is either full of corpses, or bow down, Taizu is riding on a white horse, much larger than the others, a heroic spirit.

The bored Han Ruzi began to make up stories about these murals, and gradually he actually tasted some tastes, so much so that the most longed thing every day was to go to the ashram and fast, and he would rather sit alone here than face strangers who came and went.

Since leaving the Taimiao, he has never seen Yang Feng, the King of the East China Sea, and the imperial concubine, different eunuchs and palace maids have changed and changed, but they all do the same thing, except for a few necessary words, they always bow their eyebrows and deliberately ignore the new emperor, as if they are serving a puppet who can move.

Han Ruzi is indeed not much different from a puppet, and only in his heart can he follow the founding ancestor to gallop on the battlefield.

On the tenth day, Han Ruzi in the quiet room finally welcomed a companion.

Accompanied by two eunuchs, the king of the East Sea walked into the quiet room, his face sank like water, he knelt stiffly, bowed his head, and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Han Ruzi was just about to get up, and the eunuch Jing Yao, who was following the King of the East China Sea, stepped forward half a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't move, this is the Taizu Clothes Room, and the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be saved." ”

Han Ruzi didn't move, these days he has become accustomed to everything being handled by others, so he didn't speak, and after a while, Jing Yao said for the emperor: "The king of the East China Sea is flat." ”

The King of the East Sea stood up, his head hanging lower.

Another eunuch bowed forward, placed a futon behind the emperor's right, and walked out of the quiet room in small steps, Jing Yao said: "The empress dowager decrees, the king of the East China Sea will serve His Majesty from now on." Please concentrate on fasting, watch the ritual performance tomorrow morning, and fast in the afternoon. With that, he also stepped back.

Han Ruzi adjusted his posture on the futon, and continued to meditate in front of Taizu's clothes, but this time he couldn't make up stories about the mural anymore, and there was one more person around him, and he always felt that his thoughts might be stolen. The king of the East Sea was diagonally behind him, and he was not honest when he knelt there, his clothes rubbed against the futon, making a rustling sound, and his mouth coughed lightly for a while, and sighed for a while.

Han Ruzi turned his head and smiled at his brother.

The king of the East China Sea was stunned for a moment, leaned forward, and supported the ground with both hands, this was not kneeling, but to get close to the other party and convey the voice coming from his throat and eyes, "Don't be complacent, you are not a real emperor, just a fake emperor." ”

"I know." Han Ruzi said the first sentence in ten days.

The East Sea King was stunned again, and then a trace of disdain appeared on his face, "What do you know?" Do you think the real and false emperors are joking? That's ......" he didn't say any more.

Han Ruzi turned around and looked at Taizu's clothes, he knew that he was a puppet, and he was a puppet who could not last long, but this matter was not for outsiders, except for Yang Feng.

Yang Feng hadn't appeared for ten days, he seemed to have given up on the new emperor, and even deliberately avoided him, Han Ruzi felt that his truth in the Taimiao Temple might have scared the eunuch.

"Everyone thinks you're honest, only I know you're pretending, but it's useless, even if you're a hundred times smarter, you're trapped in the palace...... A turtle in an urn. The King of the East Sea grinned, there were many people in the palace who scared him, and that was by no means including the new emperor who was about to officially ascend the throne.

"Look at Taizu's crown." Han Ruzi said that he finally had a companion, and he hoped to talk more.

"What is there to see, I have seen it a long time ago, and I still know its origin: everyone says that the crown was handed down from ancient times, after five dynasties, it has been more than a thousand years now, in fact, only a few orbs may have such a long history, and the other parts have long been renewed, as far as I know, at least seven orbs have been replaced when Emperor Wu was in his time."

"You know so much." Han Ruzi said sincerely.

"Hey, this is all common sense that the prince must know. You can only wear the Taizu crown once when you officially ascend the throne, and then you can only wear it a few more times when you are crowned, married, and canonized as the crown prince, nothing fun, that thing is a burden. The King of the East Sea looked at the crown intently, and even wanted to stand up and touch it.

There are a lot of relics left by Taizu, in addition to the crown, there are also dragon robes, boots, swords, ruyi, horse whips, jade pendants and other things, these things are too old to withstand tossing, only the crown can occasionally be taken out and used.

"The Emperor, like this crown, is highly revered, but useless." Han Ruzi has been in the quiet room for a long time, and she has a little affection for these old clothes.

"Hah!" The king of the East China Sea laughed presumptuously, and the coughing sound of the eunuch sounded outside, he hurriedly knelt down, and waited for a long time before whispering: "That's right, you are only occasionally useful, and you can be sent back to the quiet room after the crown is used, you don't have such a good treatment." If I were the emperor, I would never have fallen into such a situation. Tell me the truth, aren't you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid, but what's the use of being afraid?" Han Ruzi's gaze turned to the sword on the shelf, Taizu had used it to kill many enemies, but now it could only remain in the scabbard, spotless and useless.

The King of the East Sea stood up, glanced back at the door, and quietly walked behind Han Ruzi, "In that case, just let me send you on the road in advance, you don't have to be afraid, I can get my wish earlier." ”

The voice of the East Sea King didn't sound like a joke, but Han Ruzi was not afraid of him, nor did he look back, still staring at the sword, "I thought we should be in a group." ”

"So you left me in the palace to be your attendant?" The King of the East Sea gritted his teeth.

"It's your idea."

"My idea?"

"You said that when you became emperor, you would kill me, or stay with me. I didn't want to kill you, so I left you behind. ”

The King of the East China Sea was stunned for the third time, he did say something similar, but he didn't expect Han Ruzi to remember it in his heart, and used it on him in turn, "Don't be stinky and beautiful, do you think you are the real emperor?" No one listened to your words at all, and I stayed because the Queen Mother wanted to use me to blackmail the Cui family. ”

The voice of the king of the East China Sea was full of hatred, compared to Han Ruzi, he hated the queen mother who manipulated everything behind her back.

"So we're supposed to be in this group."

"Hey, your Wang family has no power or power, so if you want to use our Cui family as a backer, I won't be fooled...... Unless you're willing to give me the throne. ”

"I didn't want to be this emperor in the first place, I can give it to you at any time."

"No, it's 'back' to me."

"Okay, I'll give it back to you."

There was the sound of footsteps outside, and the king of the East China Sea immediately retreated to his original place, and after the silence returned outside, Han Ruzi said, "Do you have any contact with the Cui family?" ”

"No, they're watching very closely, Jing Yao, this old bastard, he tricked me into the palace, and now he's my guard. But this is only temporary, and my mother and uncle will certainly find a way to send me a letter. ”

"You...... Have you seen Yang Bong? Han Ruzi asked.

"Zhongchang serves Yang Feng? I saw it once, and I ran in front of me, but I didn't say goodbye...... You wouldn't expect anything from him, would you? I have heard some news in the palace, that is, he negotiated with the minister, put you on the throne, sent to the fire pit, he is now the queen mother's confidant and favorite minister, and the person who will kill you in the future must be him, really, he has a face of killing the king, if I become the emperor, the first thing is to get rid of him. ”

Han Ruzi couldn't guess the details of Yang Feng, but the impression left on him by that eunuch was too deep, if he could only choose one person to be an "accomplice", he would rather be Yang Feng.

The last bit of reverence of the king of the East China Sea for the emperor disappeared, and he began to talk about the plan endlessly, "You return the throne to me, this is called Chan Rang, there has been such a thing before, and when the time comes, it will be said that you are suffering from a vicious disease and cannot carry out the responsibilities of the emperor, this is very simple, the difficult thing is how to bring down the queen mother...... It's really strange, there is one thing I have never figured out, why did my uncle agree to hand over the seal of the Great Sima of the Southern Army to the people of the Shangguan family? That's half of the capital's army. And after making such a big concession, he didn't let me become the emperor, how can it be reasonable, how can it be unreasonable! ”

His voice was a little louder, the door opened, and Jing Yao's white face like dough poked in, "Taizu is watching." The old eunuch's posture and expression were respectful, but his tone was unquestionable.

The door slowly closed, and the king of the East China Sea squeezed out a voice from his throat, "Jing Yao is also a traitor, and the master is right, eunuchs are traitors." ”

Han Ruzi didn't know who was a traitor and who was a loyal minister, he only knew that he was in danger, and if there was no miracle, he would never see his mother.

He turned his head and glanced at the King of the East China Sea again, and knew very well in his heart that with the two of them, who had just passed the age of thirteen, they could not do anything else except complain to each other about their troubles and difficulties in the palace.

The King of the East China Sea was much more confident, and suddenly crawled over from behind, he was so excited that he almost knocked Han Ruzi down, "I have a way to deal with the Queen Mother!" And very quickly, tomorrow it will happen! ”
