Chapter 43: Unharmed

Han Ruzi enjoyed meticulous care, lying on the bed all day long, stretching out his hand for clothes, opening his mouth for food, and shaking his head for medicine - but it was useless, the room was full of the strong smell of medicine, and every other hour there would be new medicine, if you didn't drink it, the eunuchs knelt on the ground and begged, the imperial concubine persuaded her with kind words, and the queen wept clinically......

The imperial concubine came at least three times a day, and each time she had to inquire about the emperor's situation in detail and make sure that there was nothing unusual before leaving.

The king of the East China Sea came early the next morning, with a reluctant face, but there was no way, he had to do his brotherly friendship, not only to visit, but also to taste the medicine and taste the dishes himself.

Although the decoction is bitter, it can be endured after tasting a small bite, what the king of the East China Sea can't stand is to try the rice, he is never polite when he usually eats together, he always rushes to eat, and when he has to take a bite in advance, he feels humiliated, "You are not poisoned, and the stomach ache has nothing to do with the Cui family, why let me try it?" This is the work of a slave. ”

Every time there were only two brothers left in the house, the king of the East Sea would ask in a low voice, "The stomachache is fake, right?" How did you do that? Tell me. ”

Han Ruzi could only smile and shake his head, "How can I have this ability?" The Imperial Doctor has already seen it. ”

The imperial doctor couldn't solve the doubts of the King of the East Sea.

Another day passed, and the queen hurried from the Qiuxin Palace, and as soon as she entered the house, she burst into tears, because she was actually the last to know about such a big matter.

As soon as he heard the announcement outside the door, the king of the East China Sea immediately retreated from the side of the bed, knelt down obediently, and performed the courtier's courtesy, but the queen ignored the cousin and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the emperor with teary eyes.

The king of the East China Sea retreated softly, but the queen still did not look back, and the king of the East China Sea withdrew from the room in a sneer, no longer having to taste medicine and taste food for the emperor.

Han Ruzi was a little sympathetic to the King of the East China Sea, just a little.

Among the many people who came to visit the emperor, there was one of the strangest, who neither had the sight and hearing of the imperial doctor, nor did he do all the chores of the attendants, but only occasionally went into the house and stood for a while, and then went out quickly. Whenever he was there, the imperial concubine would inevitably mention the queen mother, and the king of the East China Sea did not dare to show the slightest disrespect, and even the queen's tears were more.

This person is the Inner Living Order, which specifically records the emperor's every move in the inner palace.

Han Ruzi didn't understand the rules of the palace, but he felt that the internal living order seemed to come too often, and in his writing, the emperor didn't know what kind of mediocre person he would be.

It was under the surveillance of the internal living order that everyone's concerns were a little false, he left again, the queen was still sobbing, maybe her grief was a little real, but Han Ruzi didn't understand why, he had very little contact with the queen, except for having dealt with Zuo Ji side by side, he had no other experience.

The most important thing is that the queen's surname is Cui, if it weren't for that, Han Ruzi would really want to draw her to his side.

Regardless of whether the living order is in the house or not, there are only two people who sincerely serve the emperor.

Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e had suffered a lot from Zuo Ji before, but the two really didn't know anything, so they were released again, and the news came the next day: Zuo Ji was slapped in the Qinzheng Palace, bleeding all over his face, and was bedridden after returning to the palace, which was worse than the two of them.

It was the emperor who caused all this, although Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e didn't understand how the emperor's abdominal pain could be so coincidental, but they believed in one thing: the emperor avenged them. Since they were not at the Qinzheng Palace, they had only heard about the scene at that time, and their thoughts were even stronger.

The two of them were right, the emperor was indeed avenging them, but not for no reason.

Taifu Cui Hong is on her way back to Beijing, although the imperial concubine has never mentioned it again, but looking at her appearance, the four holy decrees must have been confused, stamped with the treasure seal, and handed over to Luo Huanzhang.

The decisive battle with the Queen Mother is coming, and Han Ruzi can't do more, he just hopes that when things happen, there will be two more credible people around him, so that he will not completely rely on the protection of the Imperial Concubine and Luo Huanzhang.

Tong Qing'e is a weak palace maid, Zhang Youcai is less than fifteen years old, and he doesn't know martial arts, and the protection he can provide in a critical moment is minimal, Han Ruzi just wants to show that he is not sitting still.

On the fifth day of abdominal pain, the imperial doctor announced with full certainty that His Majesty was safe and everything was back to normal, and everyone was relieved, even Han Ruzi, who knew that he was not sick, he was tired of lying in bed and being served by others, and desperately wanted to go outside the house to breathe.

He could only walk around the courtyard of the Tai'an Palace a few times, followed by a large group of people, each with their hands outstretched, as if the emperor was a child learning to walk, and needed their support at any time.

At dusk, the superfluous people left, and after eating, Han Ruzi went to bed early, tossed and turned, and found that he couldn't sleep, Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e were tired these days, and they snored as soon as they touched the pillow.

Han Ruzi silently calculated, at most, in five days, Taifu Cui Hong will be able to return to Beijing, and hundreds of officials will go out of the city to greet him, and the Southern Army Grand Sima Shangguanxu must also be among them, and the ministers who have obtained the holy decree will get up at that moment and announce that they will be deprived of their seals. At the same time, another team of ministers would come to the palace, remove the lieutenant general, take over the palace guards, and then divide the troops into two routes, one to protect the emperor and the other to imprison the empress dowager......

This was a plan imagined by Han Ruzi himself, and he guessed that Luo Huanzhang's real plan was more ingenious.

He suddenly thought of the Meng brothers and sisters, these two people are strong in martial arts, and they are only loyal to the Queen Mother, it will be a trouble, if there are more masters like the Meng brothers and sisters under the Queen Mother, the trouble will be even greater, is Luo Huanzhang prepared for this? He must have learned something from the imperial concubine......

The more Han Ruzi thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he couldn't sleep anymore, he turned over irritably, and saw something shaking not far away, and after a while, Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e's snoring became slight.

"You?" Han Ruzi sat up suddenly.

"Hmm." It's still that cold voice.

"Where have you been, haven't been here for so long?" Han Ruzi unconsciously brought a complaining tone.

"The Queen Mother sent me out of the palace." There was no emotion in Meng E's voice, "Fortunately, I came back in time to let you take the second pill." ”

"In time? What happens if it's not timely? ”

"It's nothing, the first pill is in vain, and the previous efforts are just wasted. Mouth. ”

Han Ruzi wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a pill was popped in, and he had to swallow it.

"I heard that you did a little bit of a show in the Qinzheng Palace?" Of course, Meng E knew what the truth was.

"When did you come back? Where did it go? Will you go out again? Han Ruzi asked about something else.

"Don't do this kind of thing again in the future, it may arouse my brother's suspicions."

"Are you killing people for the Queen Mother? Killed ...... Who is it? Han Ruzi thought of her mother, and she couldn't help but worry.

The two answered the question, and were silent for a while, Meng E spoke first: "You need to concentrate on practicing internal skills, don't meddle in things, there are many things in the palace that bullied the weak, you don't have to avenge these two people, you don't do it like the emperor." ”

"Should the emperor be ruthless and unjust, and sit back and watch the people around him be bullied?"

Meng E was silent for a while, "Anyway, don't meddle anymore. ”

"Internal strength can't keep me alive, and it can't help me become a true emperor. Meng E, you are meddling in your own affairs, why do you have to help me? I have more chances of being in power than being a ...... The number one master in the world is even lower. ”

Meng E's answer was to poke and pat the emperor, and then she left, leaving a sentence, "I pass on your internal strength, to give you a little more chance, but also to give myself a little chance, maybe ...... It's sympathy. I will come back in ten days. ”

Freemasonry? Han Ruzi couldn't think of any difficulties encountered by the Meng brothers and sisters, and they had to need the help of the Empress Dowager of Great Chu and the emperor.

Meng E has secrets to hide from him, and he also has secrets to hide from Meng E. She said they would come back in ten days, but within five days they might be enemies.

I don't know what technique Meng E used, Han Ruzi felt that the breath in his body was much smoother than before, but it couldn't last, it suddenly appeared somewhere, flowed for a while, and suddenly disappeared somewhere.

Is this internal strength? He didn't notice any benefit, but his mind was much quieter, and he soon fell asleep.

The next day, the emperor's life returned to normal, but instead of going to Lingyun Pavilion to listen to the lectures, he went to the Qinzheng Hall early and stayed for a whole morning.

There were also more ministers called to discuss politics in the Qinzheng Hall than usual, nearly twenty people.

The Empress Dowager wanted to show her ministers that the emperor was safe and sound.

Han Ruzi saw the figure of Shen Mingzhi of the right patrol imperial history, he was one of the ministers who took care of his life, a few days ago he went to the vassal states of Kwantung, and he had just returned to Beijing, and Yang Feng, who went out of Beijing with him, was still nowhere to be seen.

Shen Mingzhi introduced the experience of the envoy, the Kwantung princes were still holding a wait-and-see attitude at the beginning, after the arrival of the imperial court envoys, most of them changed their positions and sent troops to help the war, Taifu Cui Hong was able to defeat the Qi army in Luoyang, there was a credit to the princes, but there were also a few princes who disobeyed the yin and disobeyed, and received the order on the surface, but postponed the dispatch of troops under various excuses, until the Qi army collapsed, and then hurriedly sent the army.

How to deal with these half-hearted princes, the ministers had different opinions, and after arguing for more than half an hour, the queen mother chose the idea of one of them: not to pursue it for the time being, and to concentrate on killing all the rebels of Qi first.

Shen Mingzhi mentioned Yang Feng, and Zhongchang stayed in the Qi State to hunt down the Qi Seeker Chun Yuxiao.

Chun Yuxiao is considered to be the first offender who bewitched the rebellion of the King of Qi, and the King of Qi has been subdued, but this person has disappeared without a trace.

Han Ruzi felt strange, Yang Feng had great ambitions, why was he so interested in hunting down a charlatan?

Shen Mingzhi didn't say much about this matter, and soon turned to the most important topic this morning: he hurried back to the capital from the north, bringing definite news, although the king of Qi was defeated, the Xiongnu tribes refused to retreat, and frequently sent scouts into the fortress to observe, and the border generals who were familiar with the situation agreed that this autumn, the Xiongnu would definitely invade in a big way.

Great Chu and the Xiongnu have maintained peace for more than ten years, and it seems that it is about to be broken again.

The practice of the imperial court came into play, and many ministers had experienced the wars of Emperor Wu and knew how to deal with such things, so they put forward various proposals, which were decided by the empress dowager.

It was almost noon, the imperial concubine came out of the listening cabinet, ready to announce the decision of the queen mother, in the eyes of others, she was normal, but Han Ruzi saw a trace of panic.

He quickly understood why.

"The Queen Mother thought that instead of defending the city and waiting for battle, it was better to take advantage of the victory to attack. Taifu Cui Hong was in chaos in the new Ding, and the army was not dispersed, so he immediately went to the north to garrison troops, and chose the opportunity to go out of the fortress and fight with the Huns. ”

The ministers were a little surprised, but Han Ruzi sighed in her heart, at this juncture, the Queen Mother did not allow Cui Hong to return to Beijing, which was not a good sign, maybe she sensed the danger.
