The palace maid Tong Qing'e stayed in the Dongnuan Pavilion to serve the emperor, and quickly laid out the futon and helped the emperor change into the clothes he was sleeping.

Han Ruzi has long been accustomed to being at the mercy of the waiter, cooperating with him indifferently, thinking wildly in his mind, the Queen Mother, the King of the East China Sea, Meng E, Yang Feng and others took turns to appear, and did not give him a little free, so that it took a while to realize that Tong Qing'e was still standing by the bed, but he had already changed into his clothes, just waiting to lie down and sleep, and he didn't need others to be comfortable.

"Is there anything else?" Han Ruzi asked politely, but thought in her heart, there must be a lot of palace maids with "E" in their names, and Meng E and Meng Che may be pseudonyms.

Tong Qing'e blushed a little inexplicably, and said softly: "The slave maid serves His Majesty to sleep." ”

Han Ruzi had never seen a palace maid as shy as her, and said with a smile: "You have already served." ”

"Hmm." Tong Qing'e didn't move.

"Are you serving someone for the first time?" Han Ruzi was very willing to chat with people, but he couldn't ask for it before, those eunuchs and palace maids ran faster than one another, and no one wanted to stay with the emperor, this was the first time that someone refused to leave after finishing their work.

Tong Qing'e nodded and shook her head, "This is a slave...... First ...... Serve Your Majesty. ”

"I don't have any special requirements, that's fine, other waiters usually sleep on the couch over there, if you're too small, you can go to another room to sleep, I sleep heavily at night, never call people." Han Ruzi wished there were no outsiders in his bedroom.

Tong Qing'e's face turned redder, and her voice became lower, "I can ...... OK...... Sleep in His Majesty's bed. ”

Han Ruzi turned his head and glanced at his bed, this was a very large shelf bed, almost a small room, but it seemed a bit too much for a palace maid to make such a request, Han Ruzi thought for a while, and asked, "Are you not used to sleeping on a chair?" ”

Tong Qing'e bowed her head and was silent.

"Also, that chair is so small that I have to curl up when I lie down, and even smaller when you fall asleep."

Tong Qing'e was five or six years older than the thirteen-year-old emperor, half a head taller, slightly plump, and indeed more bed-occupied.

"Okay, you sleep in my bed." Han Ruzi agreed, he had never dictated to any servant since he was a child, and he would not be after entering the palace, "But don't tell others, you know, the palace is strictly controlled, and if someone finds out that you don't follow the rules, you will likely be punished." ”

Han Ruzi still remembered the two eunuchs who were beaten up just because they didn't see the emperor secretly write a letter.

Tong Qing'e nodded lightly and slowly sat down beside the emperor, so close to him that she could almost hear each other's breathing.

"Then rest and get a good night's sleep." Han Ruzi stood up, smiled at Tong Qing'e, walked to the table, blew out the candles, came to the chair in the dark, and lay on it, where there was a small pillow and thin quilt that the palace maid had prepared a long time ago, and it was not too cold, and it was just right to cover it.

"Your Majesty......" Tong Qing'e's surprised and confused voice came from the side of the big bed.

"You sleep on my bed, I sleep on the couch. It doesn't matter, the bed I used to sleep in wasn't much bigger than the chair, and I wasn't used to sleeping in a big bed. Oh, remember to wake me up early tomorrow so we can change it so we don't get discovered. Han Ruzi turned over and fell asleep, thinking that this was really a strange palace maid, but it was a good thing to be willing to speak and even dare to ask the emperor.

Soon, he began to think about other things, whether it was "retiring after success", or "not going to live after success"? Is there a precedent for using the era name of the former emperor? After thinking about it too much, he always felt that the word "success" seemed to have some ominous connotations.

Then he fell asleep, thinking that he would be woken up by Meng E in the middle of the night, but he slept until the early morning of the next day. The palace maid Tong Qing'e woke up the emperor, served him to dress, and then notified the little eunuch outside, and the little eunuch called more eunuchs and palace maids who were already waiting outside the house, and began to groom the emperor, ready to go to the queen mother to say goodbye.

Han Ruzi found a strange thing, Tong Qing'e's expression seemed to be a little depressed, not only was she not grateful for the emperor's move to let the bed go, but she seemed to be very disappointed.

There were too many people around her, and Han Ruzi couldn't ask, but she felt that this palace maid was even stranger and more difficult to please than Meng E, if she wasn't afraid of affecting her, she should really ask Yang Feng what was going on.

Yang Feng didn't show up at all today, usually he first escorted the emperor to the queen mother to ask for peace, and sometimes he would send the emperor to Lingyun Pavilion to listen to lectures, and then he went to do other things, but today he disappeared, completely leaving the emperor to the concubine of Shangguan Emperor.

After breakfast, when he went to Lingyun Pavilion, Yang Feng still did not appear, and in the imperial garden, the number of noble attendants who met with the emperor suddenly increased from fifteen or sixteen to nearly fifty, lined up in several rows, and under the guidance of the ceremonial officials, they respectfully bowed to the emperor.

The emperor's noble attendants are as many as four or five hundred, most of them can't see the emperor himself, before the queen mother chose fifteen or sixteen young people of the same age as the emperor to enter the imperial garden, this time the number of places has been tripled, the oldest is in his thirties, several of them have noses and deep eyes, very much like the prince who has entered the service in a distant country.

The strange feeling became deeper and deeper in Han Ruzi's heart, and he could clearly feel that these attendants were more in awe than usual, although there were many of them, they were silent when they knelt down.

Correspondingly, the number of eunuchs and guards escorting the emperor has also increased to more than 100, and the roads in the imperial garden are a little crowded.

"Where did Yang Gong go?" Han Ruzi couldn't help but ask Zuo Ji beside him.

Zuo Ji didn't always smile like usual, and replied in a low voice: "Yang Gong was entrusted with a heavy task by the Queen Mother and went out of Beijing. ”

Han Ruzi was taken aback, stopped, and the long line behind him also hurriedly stopped, and the people behind him couldn't catch up and crashed together, but fortunately, no one fell.

"Out of Beijing? Where did it go? Han Ruzi felt like he had been abandoned, and without Yang Feng, he was a little overwhelmed.

Zuo Ji was also taken aback, regretting that he was talking too much, but he couldn't take back his words, so he had to say: "The Queen Mother recruited envoys and went to the vassal states in Kanto to preach the holy decree. ”

Han Ruzi was even more surprised, turned around and glanced at the King of the East China Sea, and found that he was just as surprised as himself, Yang Feng had obviously decided later yesterday, as for whether he took the initiative to ask for help or was forced to accept the order, it is unknown.

"What decree?" Han Ruzi asked.

Zuo Ji became more and more embarrassed, the emperor didn't know about the decree he promulgated, which was a bit unorthodox, so he had to say in a lower voice: "Your Majesty was angry in the Qinzheng Palace, and made the prince of Qi bow his head and beg for mercy, and His Majesty sent an edict to the world, ordering all vassal states to immediately send troops to fight against Qi ......"

"I see." Han Ruzi stepped forward, he did the Queen Mother a great favor, if he could defeat the King of Qi because of this, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages, but he really hoped that Yang Feng could be by his side at this moment and give some more guidance.

Today's lecture was Luo Huanzhang, and even he was a little polite, but he didn't ask the emperor to point out the topic, and started the lecture directly: "The war in the Kwantung region is not over, and the grass people will tell Your Majesty about the last rebellion of the princes." ”

During the reign of Emperor Lie, there was a rebellion of the princes in Dachu, which was larger than this time, with a total of 17 counties participating in the five major vassal states.

Emperor Lie was terrified for a while, and even planned to move the capital to the south, but the war only lasted less than four months, and the seemingly menacing princes' coalition army was blocked outside Hangu Pass, and only a few small battles were fought without a victory, and the princes' army fell apart. The Chu army took advantage of the situation to launch a decisive battle and won in one fell swoop.

After the war, Emperor Lie took the opportunity to cut the domain, and the territory of the vassal states was reduced from then on, and today's Qi State is only half the size of the original.

Han Ruzi restrained his thoughts, listened carefully, and asked: "Is it because the princes' army was defeated in one blow because the princes and kings did not practice the way of benevolence and righteousness?" ”

The King of the East China Sea snickered, Luo Huanzhang glanced at him sternly, and the King of the East China Sea immediately lowered his head and concentrated on reading.

"At that time, the five princes Wang Lixian, corporal, reduced people's rents, respected the old and supported the young, which can be regarded as the way of benevolence and righteousness."

"Then why is there nowhere to run after the defeat?"

"For example, if there is a knife, a strong man wields a knife, and one enemy is ten, and a childish child wields a knife and injures himself. Benevolence and righteousness are the world's sharp weapons, the husband does it, it is beneficial to the township, the princes do it, it benefits a country, the son of heaven does it, and Ze is born. The benevolence and righteousness of the five princes are not as good as the benevolence and righteousness of the martyrs, and it is inevitable that they will be defeated and die. Your Majesty is in the supreme position, and benevolence and righteousness are to Your Majesty, just like a sharp sword is to a martyr, and a good saddle is to a BMW. ”

Han Ruzi felt that Luo Huanzhang was also a little pedantic, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming, and turned his head to see that the King of the East China Sea had already bowed his head. Han Ruzi understood something, and then looked at the two eunuchs at the door, they didn't understand anything, and they were standing there in a daze.

Luo Huanzhang was the first minister to take the initiative to contact the emperor, although the words were quite subtle, Han Ruzi still understood.

He didn't know how to respond.

Luo Huanzhang didn't make any further temptations, and what he told next was the past of Emperor Lie's removal of the five kings.

The morning class was shorter than usual, and there was still more than half an hour before noon, when Zuo Ji came in and asked the emperor to move.

Han Ruzi came to the Qinzheng Hall again, and from this day on, he had to take time out every morning to sit in the Qinzheng Hall for a while and watch the ministers handle government affairs. He knew his status, and the abnormally large number of eunuchs around him reminded him of this all the time, so he never talked much, just watched and listened.

At least this is much better than being trapped in the palace and ignorant of it, he can learn a little about the progress of the war in the Kanto region, the deployment of troops throughout the country, and the customs and customs of the county.

But on this day, he couldn't figure out Yang Feng's specific whereabouts and when he would be able to return.

In the afternoon, the martial arts were as usual, and Meng Che became more and more like an old pedant, saying more and doing less, occasionally striking a punch and a sword, which was enough to surprise the emperor and his attendants.

For the first time, Han Ruzi felt that the emperor's life was busy, but unfortunately this busyness was only an illusion, and he gained very little from it, until this night, there was one thing that he needed to do himself, and he could not let outsiders do it for him.

At that time, he was already very tired, washed up, changed his clothes, and just wanted to go to bed quickly, as for whether it was a bed or a couch, he didn't care.

The palace maid who served him was still Tong Qing'e, her face was still very red, but her smile was different from last night, and the words she said were even more incredible, "Your Majesty is about to get married, aren't you interested in the way of husband and wife?" ”

Han Ruzi's first thought was to think of Luo Huanzhang's "The Way of Benevolence and Righteousness".
