After confirming that being robbed halfway was really just an accident and that his life was not in danger, the king of the East China Sea was angry, but the person he hated the most was not Han Ruzi, but the queen mother, "After locking me up for so long, I changed my tricks every day to please her, and actually kicked me out, without even a word of explanation, the two eunuchs threw me into the car, I thought it was ......"
The king of the East China Sea shuddered, he thought that his life was short, so he didn't dare to squeak all the way.
"Then who did the Queen Mother choose to be the emperor?" Han Ruzi only cares about this one thing.
"Who else? We were both kicked out, she must be the emperor herself! ”
"Impossible, right?" Han Ruzi felt that this statement was incredible, and said to Yang Feng, who was walking over: "Is there an empress in the history books?" ”
"It's only been in primeval legends." Yang Feng stopped in front of the car, glanced at the King of the East China Sea inside, and frowned, he was not interested in who the Queen Mother would make the emperor, he only felt that this second car was a trouble, "I have to send him back." ”
"Where?" The king of the East China Sea refused to get out of the car, and clung to the car window, "I won't go back to the palace, I mean I won't go back to the palace with you, I'm going to go to the southern army to find my uncle and ask him to send me back to the palace......"
Yang Feng unceremoniously lowered the sedan curtain and said to Han Ruzi, "You have to send him back to Cui's house." ”
Fu Cheng went to Zongzheng Mansion to report the situation to his superiors, and only the Fu Wei was left alone in the Hou Mansion, completely at a loss. Anxious. That's when I came over. grabbed Yang Feng's arm: "Manager Yang, you have to be responsible for this matter, I'm just a small official, old and young, I can't stand the toss......"
Yang Feng patted the carriage, "The person in the car picked up the wrong person, you can send him back to Taifu Cui Hong's mansion." ”
The lieutenant shook his head vigorously, "I won't send it." It's none of my business. ”
"The mansion communicates with the Hou Mansion and the relevant yamen, what is the governor in charge of?"
The lieutenant was speechless, nominally the lieutenant was responsible for the safety of the Hou Mansion, but this was the kind of thing he didn't want to get involved in at the moment.
"It's not the family of the tired marquis in the car, please watch it from the captain." Yang Feng pushed Han Ruzi towards the backyard.
The king of the East China Sea lifted the corner of the sedan curtain, but still refused to come out, and said loudly: "Han Ruzi, don't leave me here, send me back to Cui's house!" You send it personally, don't want this guy. ”
Han Ruzi wanted to speak. was pushed forward by Yang Feng and couldn't stop. After walking not far away, a eunuch caught up behind him, panting and said, "The Cui family is here, and there are quite a few." ”
Yang Feng stopped, "Come quickly, tired marquis, you block for a while, don't let them pass through this door, and don't talk too much." ”
"Me?" Han Ruzi had no confidence in his heart, "I'm afraid I can't ......"
"You have to go through everything." Yang Feng patted the tired marquis on the shoulder, turned around and walked back to the carriage, called the coachman, and ordered him to drive into the backyard, and follow him himself, regardless of what the king of the East China Sea inside shouted.
Han Ruzi is in a hurry, this is different from facing the rebels in the palace, there are likely to be Cui Xiaojun's relatives among the trespassers, and the scene will be very embarrassing.
Yang Feng shook his hand and left, Han Ruzi could only think of a way by himself, and ordered Zhang Youcai to call all the eunuchs who came out of the palace and lined up to block the second gate.
Han Ruzi called the lieutenant to him, "Do you want to greet the Cui family?" ”
The lieutenant shook his head desperately.
"Then take your people to the side, don't get involved and don't squeak."
The lieutenant agreed to the pardon, ran to give orders to the soldiers sent by the various ministries, and then ran into a house to hide first, and the others stood in the corner of the front yard and huddled in a pile, their eyes scanning back and forth between the gate and the second gate, both nervous and curious, all wanting to see how the abolished emperor dealt with the Cui family.
The front yard was not large, crowded with dozens of soldiers, and there was not much open space left.
A large group of people entered through the gate in a menacing manner, and at a glance they saw the eunuchs and the tired marquis blocking the second gate.
Han Ruzi's heart sank, most of the people who came were female dependents, which was the most embarrassing scene he expected.
An old woman with an angry face walked at the front, followed by a large group of women, and several male servants guarding the perimeter.
There were at least twice as many people on this side as there were eunuchs in the Tired Marquis Mansion.
The intruders did not encounter any obstruction at the gate, and their momentum was even greater, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they shouted and screamed, and the soldiers who watched the bustle felt unsafe, and many people turned around and went into the house, only listening to the sound and not showing their faces.
The old woman stopped in front of the Tired Hou, about the same height as him, and gained a circle, looked the Tired Hou up and down a few times, raised her arm, and everyone behind her shut up.
Han Ruzi was even more nervous than facing the Queen Mother, coughed twice, and was about to speak, when the other party made the first move.
"The stinky boy who can't raise much, doesn't live long, has no skin and no beads, you are so bold, dare to rob the daughter of the Cui family......"
Saliva came to his face, blown by the cold wind of the winter night, like a mixture of snow flakes and broken ice, Han Ruzi had nowhere to hide, so he could only lean back and slowly retreat.
Zhang Youcai was not convinced, and ran out to support his master, but he was defeated as soon as he opened his mouth, and the old woman pointed at him and scolded: "What do you want to do when the little monkey cub jumps up and down?" Don't you have a handle down there, and don't you have eyes on top? Who are you, you don't have the qualifications to pour urine buckets for the Cui family......"
Zhang Youcai patronized and raised his hand to protect his face, and there was no chance to return the mouth, Han Ruzi's pressure on his side was slightly reduced, he took a towel from another eunuch to wipe his face, and took a step forward and said, "Mother-in-law......"
The old woman suddenly half-mouthed, and stared at the tired marquis with an angry gaze.
Han Ruzi knew that he had recognized the wrong person, this was not Cui Xiaojun's mother, but he didn't look like the mother of the King of the East China Sea, he knew very little about the Cui family's daughters, and he really couldn't guess the identity of this person, so he opened his mouth for a while, and he couldn't continue to say what he was ready to say.
The old woman turned to a woman and said, "He called you, and he didn't come to see your good son-in-law." ”
The woman was forty or fifty years old, not short, but she kept her head bowed. It appears to be half a head shorter than the old woman. At this time, it was only a matter of saying yes. Neither dare to look at the old woman, nor dare to look at the tired marquis.
It turned out that she was Cui Xiaojun's mother.
Han Ruzi suddenly remembered that Cui Xiaojun had told him that the two brothers fought and made his mother cry angrily, and the old woman's tears probably turned into saliva, and she would never be angry with anyone.
The embarrassment was not resolved at all, and Han Ruzi guessed that the old woman must be the elder of the Cui family. It is likely to be Taifu Cui Hong's mother and Cui Xiaojun's grandmother, but he still doesn't know what to call it, so he can only secretly complain about Yang Feng in his heart, and the cunning eunuch must have deliberately hidden.
"The old lady came, but the grandson-in-law couldn't welcome ...... far away"
Han Ruzi finally came up with a few words, but was interrupted by the old woman before he finished speaking, "Whose grandson-in-law are you?" The daughter of the Cui family is either an emperor or a prince, you are a deposed emperor who was thrown out of the palace, how can you be embarrassed to marry the Cui family? I've heard that yesterday you went to the ministries like a beggar to ask for money. You don't even want face, why are you still pestering my granddaughter? Hand over Jun quickly. ”
Han Ruzi was angry. His face was a little red, he bowed down first, and then said, "The daughter who got married is going to snatch it back, is this the face of the Cui family?" ”
The old woman was not used to being confronted, and her heart became more and more annoyed, her eyebrows were raised, and her fighting spirit was high, "My granddaughter is married to the emperor, are you the emperor?" ”
"Xiaojun is married to Han Ruzi, and I am still Han Ruzi."
"Ha, listen to your own name, you are also a descendant of the Han family and a person who has been an emperor, what is the name of 'Ruzi'. Xiaojun can't be bad in your hands, don't say that you only have the name of husband and wife, even if you have the reality of husband and wife, the Cui family can still marry her better. ”
Han Ruzi was even more angry, he shared the bed with Cui Xiaojun and did not round the room, it was a secret matter in the palace, the old woman didn't know how to know, she opened her mouth and said, it was so vulgar that it was hard to imagine that he was the mother of the most powerful minister in the court.
Angry to this extent, Han Ruzi calmed down and smiled, "Xiaojun used to be the queen, and now she is Mrs. Tired Hou, the old lady wants to marry her better, don't you want her to be the queen?" ”
The young man's smile made the old woman stunned, and she looked at him again, and the old woman said, "What, do you think the Cui family doesn't have this ability?" ”
It was already dark, since the Queen Mother had sent the King of the East China Sea out, she must have already performed Yang Feng's so-called "strange trick", no matter what the result was, it would not be good for the Cui family, and the old woman obviously didn't know anything about it, Han Ruzi smiled again and said, "Is Concubine Cui here?" ”
Han Ruzi looked behind the old woman, and there were many women who followed, none of them looked like the mother of the king of the East China Sea.
Although Cui Guifei is also the concubine of Emperor Huan, she has not been canonized after Emperor Huan's death, so she cannot be called the imperial concubine.
The old woman took a step back, "My daughter didn't come...... and took a step forward before she finished speaking, and said with a raised eyebrow: "Don't come around the bush, after tonight, your life will not be guaranteed, don't think about affecting my granddaughter." ”
The old woman insisted on breaking the door, shouting "Xiaojun" in her mouth, and more than a dozen eunuchs blocked the door, refusing to give an inch.
Han Ruzi didn't want to fight with women, so he stepped aside under the protection of Zhang Youcai, and Zhang Youcai looked hot, "I'll help." "Rush into the warband.
A woman was squeezed out and staggered, Han Ruzi stepped forward to hold her up, and whispered, "Mother-in-law." ”
Cui Xiaojun's mother smiled embarrassedly, and immediately pushed away her son-in-law and hid behind the crowd.
A group of women and eunuchs were fighting each other, and a young man hurried in from outside the gate, looking around in the crowd and shouting, "Old man! Laojun! ”
It turned out that "Lao Jun" was the correct title for Mrs. Cui, and Han Ruzi thought to herself that Xiao Jun must be very favored by the old woman, so she would have such a word.
The man shouted a few times, the chaos finally stopped, the old woman was on the rise, spitting stars, scolding the eunuchs, after a while before turning around, for a while I couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe, and I was also angry with my own family, "Sheng'er, you came just in time, quickly drive away these dog eunuchs who are blocking the way for me." By the way, there's news from the palace? ”
The man's name is Cui Sheng, a son of Taifu Cui Hong, who came for this matter, and stepped forward and said: "It's not good, I heard that the king of the East China Sea was also sent out of the palace, and he came out with his sister." ”
The king of the East China Sea got into the car in the palace, the escort didn't know who was in the car, the Cui family didn't know anything in advance, and the old woman was stunned, "The king of the East China Sea is about to become the emperor, how can he be sent out?" ”
Cui Sheng was angry, "The old ...... of the Queen Mother Old...... She has made someone else the emperor, and the officials are rushing to the palace, and the city gates are closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, and I can't go out to inform my father. ”
The old woman didn't believe it, and shook her head again and again, "Impossible, Emperor Huan has two sons, one is here, the abolished emperor, and the other is the king of the East China Sea, who else can the queen mother make the emperor?" ”
Cui Sheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "I haven't found out the exact news yet, but I heard that several important ministers are very supportive of the new emperor, and I thought it was him." ”
Han Ruzi was just as confused as everyone else, and suddenly found that Yang Feng had come out of it at some point, standing in the middle of a group of eunuchs, his face sinking like water.
