Zhao Ruosu has been missing for three days, and his family has reported to the authorities and sent someone to check several times, but no clues have been found. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Two days before his disappearance, Zhao Ruosu had just resigned from his position as a scholar in the middle school, and he was idle at home, and his identity changed from an official to a commoner, so his disappearance was not included in the court case, and the relevant documents would not be sent to the emperor.

Looking around, most of Han Ruzi's trusted people were sent to the capital, and there were not many left, Cai Xinghai had the important task of escorting him, and could only occasionally leave the Tihou Mansion, so Han Ruzi called Jin Chunzhong, gave him the task of secretly finding out the news, and allowed him to call the guards from Chaojia Fishing Village.

It's Zhao Ruosu, but at this time, Han Ruzi can't be careless about this, and always feels that someone is preventing Zhao Ruosu from being "open and honest" to the emperor, and the people who can do this kind of thing can only be officials in the court.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and Han Ruzi is becoming more and more anxious in his heart, there are enough internal and external troubles, he doesn't want there to be any more loopholes in the court, at least not now.

But he had to face reality eventually.

Han Ruzi sent a eunuch to call the guards Meng E.

Since the emperor married Jin Guifei, there are more private matters, Meng E is no longer by the emperor's side as before, but is included in the ordinary guards, the head of the guards, Wang He understands the special nature of this guard, so that she lives not far from the emperor and does not have to participate in regular shifts.

Meng E soon arrived, saluted the emperor, and stood in a corner, thinking that the emperor needed his protection.

Han Ruzi didn't mean that, "Meng E, are you still learning the art of ** king?" ”

"Hmm." Meng E has not changed much, and she is still as indifferent as before.

"But I don't think I've seen you in a long time."

"I'm reading."

"Oh."

Neither of them spoke, Meng E never felt embarrassed to be silent, and after waiting for a while, Han Ruzi could only speak first, "Can you ......?"

"What can it be? Your Majesty. ”

"Forget it." Han Ruzi originally wanted Meng E to participate in the investigation of Zhao Ruosu's whereabouts, but changed her mind again, Meng E is a martial arts master, let her follow or monitor a person, it is easy, let her find an official who has disappeared, it is a bit difficult for a strong person.

Han Ruzi suddenly didn't understand what she called Meng E for, "You stay tonight." ”

"Won't Your Majesty go back to the bedroom to rest?"

Han Ruzi shook his head, since Concubine Deng Yun came, he no longer refused to have sex with the concubine, after all, he was at the age of blood and strength, and he would not be disgusted with this kind of thing, but he had never indulged in it, once he noticed that things were different in the court, he had no heart to meet the strange concubine, and preferred to stay in the study.

Meng E took this as an order, went out to find a eunuch, and set up sleeping utensils in the study.

Han Ruzi was lying on the chair, Meng E blew out the candles, and slept on the small bed at the door, knowing that the other party had not closed his eyes yet, but he did not speak, nearly two quarters of an hour later, it was Han Ruzi who spoke first, "I am still practicing." ”

"Okay."

"Stick with it, can I become a master?"

Meng E thought for a while, "It is impossible to become a master only by practicing internal skills, you have to learn all kinds of kung fu with fists, feet, knives and guns, and most importantly, you have to often compete and fight with others, Your Majesty does not have this time, and there is no need, internal functions make Your Majesty full of energy, this is enough." ”

"Indeed." Han Ruzi can always insist more than others at critical moments, relying not only on will and belief, but also on the help of internal strength, "I just need to practice like this, I don't need a new method?" ”

"No, if Your Majesty wants to make the effect more obvious, you can let Zhang Zhuhe continue to stroke the piano for Your Majesty, or it may be of some help."

"This person is not very credible."

"Your Majesty, all he needs is the sound of his piano."

"But even the sound of the piano can deceive, can it?"

"That's just a little trick of the rivers and lakes, Your Majesty can resist it, and the sound of the piano is no more powerful than the eloquence of the Qi Seeker."

"Well, you go ahead and arrange it - not now, tomorrow night."

"Okay." Meng E, who had just sat up, lay down again.

Silence again, between Han Ruzi and Meng E, this is a common thing.

Han Ruzi still couldn't sleep, "Since you are also reading books to learn the art of ** kings, I will give you a debut title." ”

"Hmm."

"For example...... Something happened on the island of Yishi, if you don't solve it, you will lose a good helper, solve it immediately, it may split the island of Yishi, what should you do? What do you think the emperor should do? ”

Han Ruzi didn't just ask Meng E for help, after finishing speaking, he also fell into deep thought and considered countermeasures.

After a while, Meng E spoke, "Does Your Majesty want to listen to my answer?" ”

"Huh? Of course, you say. Han Ruzi woke up like a dream, almost forgetting that there was another person in the room.

"A righteous island with hidden dangers of splitting is not worth my nostalgia, I would rather solve the problem and rescue that helper."

Han Ruzi chuckled, this is the difference between him and Meng E, Meng E can leave Yishi Island, but he can't leave the imperial court, "This is indeed a way." ”

"Your Majesty's solution?" Meng E could hear that the emperor had other ideas.

"In this world, there are big things that turn small, and there are small things that turn big things."

"What do you mean by that?"

"After Taizu settled down, he noticed that some heroes were not very satisfied with him, so he used several cases that aroused public anger to track down to the end, and even a large number of officials, including some of the most threatening heroes, this is a small matter to make a big one, and the emperor's favorite trick."

"Emperor Wu killed the heroes of the world, is it also a trivial matter to make a big one?"

"That's right. There are also big things that are small, ordinary people use more, and the emperor actually often uses them, such as only killing the first evil and letting go of the rest, when Emperor Lie, the brother of one of his favorite concubines was involved in the case of buying and selling officials, and Emperor Lie in order to keep him, put the most direct officials in prison, so far, no longer investigated, and there is no connection. ”

"Sounds like a cover-up."

"Hehe, this is indeed a cover-up, but what I'm talking about is a means, a case, whether it is a gang or an individual, whether it has been planned for a long time or improvised, it is difficult to say before the investigation, it all depends on the emperor's feelings. The emperor said, 'This case is by no means ordinary', and the officials below have to dig up a group of accomplices, and the emperor said, 'Do not implicate the innocent', and the officials understand that this is to release people, except for those who have already been arrested, do not investigate further. ”

"In this way, the problem is the emperor, and the people often complain about the local officials, but they are actually looking for the wrong person."

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "It's not that simple, the emperor has everything he says, everyone has to listen to his words, and they have to think about it carefully, but after using too much of this method, the minister can find out the doorway, and then form his own means, and even be able to hide from the emperor on his own, and the people of the world still think that this is the emperor's will." The sword has no eyes, and those who can hurt others will be able to hurt themselves, and the same is true of the art of the emperor. ”

"Does Your Majesty know what the ministers do?"

"Alas, they have found out my way, but I know nothing but why I know them." Han Ruzi originally expected to get help from Zhao Ruosu, but there was an accident.

"Your Majesty is very clever, and sooner or later he will be able to figure out all the ways of the minister."

"Well, I'm going to make a big deal out of them first and see the effect."

The emperor didn't say anything, Meng E didn't ask in detail, but only replied: "Your Majesty really likes it...... Be an emperor. ”

"What about you? Haven't you been working hard to learn the art of ** king, hoping to recover Chen Qi one day? ”

"I'm trying...... But I have never been so fond of such things as Your Majesty. ”

"Like?" Han Ruzi asked himself, he couldn't tell if he really liked it, but he would never give up the throne.

The study was quiet again, there was a slight breathing sound on Meng E's side, she seemed to be asleep, and Han Ruzi called in a very low voice: "Meng E? ”

There was no answer from the door.

"Would you like to ......" Han Ruzi stopped, silently ran the exercises for a while, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Han Ruzi listened to the government normally in the Qinzheng Palace, the Zhongshu Sheren was a petty official, and Zhao Ruosu had resigned, and his disappearance was not enough to alarm the prime minister.

Han Ruzi assumed that Shen Mingzhi and the others did not know.

Returning to the Tihou Mansion at noon, Jin Chunzhong had already brought the first batch of news.

For the local government in the capital, Zhao Ruosu's disappearance is a big deal, and Lian Danchen, a judicial officer, personally investigated the matter, thinking that this was not a kidnapping, Zhao Ruosu was not a big official, and his family was not very rich, so he asked around in the direction of vendetta, and there were no clear clues for the time being.

There is only one point, it is said that Zhao Ruosu went out alone in the evening a few days ago, and said to his family that he was going to meet a friend, and disappeared.

Han Ruzi's face-to-face teaching is appropriate, he can't just do it and wait, let alone ignore it.

In the afternoon of this day, the Ministry of Chinese Books sent a new piece of music as usual, or the old official who replaced Zhao Ruosu, step by step, more cautious than Zhao Ruosu, put a stack of pieces on the desk, and gently tidied it up, be sure to put it right and steady, even if no one ever notices, it must be impeccable.

The emperor also buried his head in reading, as before, and the old official bowed deeply, and then quietly retreated to the door.

He stepped back with his back to the door, which required a little skill, but he had long been accustomed to this way of walking, even in an unfamiliar room, he would not take a wrong step or bump into something, and he had been to the study of the Tired Hou Mansion several times, and he would not make a mistake.

But he was silent, and there were people who were even more silent than him, and the old official glanced at it when he stepped back, making sure that there was no one behind him, and when he was almost at the door, he collided with a person.

The old official was caught off guard, and involuntarily ran forward a few steps, holding on to the desk with both hands before barely standing, and met the emperor's eyes as he looked up.

The old official was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down, his ears buzzed, and he was about to plead guilty, when he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a breaking sound when they collided, and he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and glance at the door.

The ground was full of vase fragments, and a eunuch sat there with a pale face, "Oh my God, the crystal vase left by Taizu...... Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life, I didn't mean to......"

The old official's eyes were dark, and he sat on the ground, his mouth open but unable to speak.

"What's your name?" The Emperor asked calmly.

"I ...... I...... Weichen Zhongshu Sheren Nan Zhijin, Your Majesty ......"

"Well, he didn't mean it, you did, right?" The Emperor remained calm. (To be continued.) )
