Dozens of people from the Wang family received a lot of gifts on the way to the west, they were a group of rural farmers, and they couldn't tell which ones were private gifts and which ones were rewarded by the imperial court, in short, they happily accepted it, Yuan Jiuding, Zhang Youcai and others all saw it in their eyes, and no one particularly cared, let alone thought of telling the emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Similar things are too ordinary, too ordinary, if the Queen Mother's family is snubbed all the way, it is an inconceivable strange thing, and those businessmen who give the most generous gifts are very smart, they will not carry large boxes and small boxes directly to the Wang family, but visit the accommodation, send some small gifts, and then quietly hand over a gift list, and the gifts on it are all stored in the capital, waiting for the new master.

When he arrived at Hangu Pass, the gift-giving businessmen began to mention Zong Zhengqing Han Chou intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Youcai had been with the Wang family, and when he heard a few mouths, he saw that the emperor and Han Chou were dissatisfied, and suddenly remembered this matter.

Relatives are often able to gain great power, and it is normal to make friends in advance, but these gift-giving businessmen have other plans, but they are not what Yuan Jiuding and Zhang Youcai could guess at that time.

Han Ruzi laughed angrily, everyone in the room had their own strengths, but none of them were the people he needed now, so he said: "Anyway, the problem in front of me is solved, Yuan Shangshu, you go and get busy, I will keep in mind the work of welcoming relatives; Jowanfu, continue to keep an eye on the merchants of the city, to see what else they can do; Jin Chunzhong, continue to examine the Holy Army Division, and if there is any news, come and inform me at any time. ”

Several people received the order and retreated one after another, Zhang Youcai had just come back, and he was still a little uncomfortable, and when there were not many people, he asked with a confused face: "Your Majesty, did I do something wrong?" I should have written to tell Your Majesty what I had seen and heard on the road earlier. ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with you, today is the day of the Queen Mother's provincial relatives, everyone should be happy, you should also go to the Queen Mother's side, she may need you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Youcai hurriedly withdrew.

Han Ruzi said to Wang He again: "It seems that there will be no more assassins, you don't have to stay here, just guard outside." ”

Wang He wanted to stay a little longer, but Han Ruzi didn't give him a chance to argue, and waved him to retreat, Wang He had no choice but to retreat with another guard.

Only the emperor and Meng E were left in the room, neither of them squeaked, Han Ruzi thought silently when she didn't exist, and Meng E didn't do any comfort.

I don't know how long it has been, Zhang Youcai came in quietly and said softly: "Your Majesty, the banquet has begun, is Your Majesty going over now?" ”

"Okay." Han Ruzi got up and walked out of the room.

The eunuchs, palace maids, and guards outside had already lined up neatly, hugging the emperor to the hall.

The hall was full of the joy of reunion, under the prompting of the family bit by bit, the Empress Dowager Cining remembered many past events, mentioned the death of her mother, and couldn't help but burst into tears again.

Zong Zhengqing Han Chou also participated in the banquet as a "family member", like a fish in water, when no one spoke, he told jokes, someone spoke, he deliberately guided, in short, to satisfy the Queen Mother.

The arrival of the emperor made the atmosphere a little colder, Han Ruzi personally held the cup, first congratulated his mother, then celebrated his grandfather's birthday, and finally wished all his relatives, pinched the cheeks of the two children, praised them for their cuteness, handed the wine glass to the eunuch beside him, and said goodbye to the Empress Dowager Cining.

Han Ruzi glanced deeply at the queen when she left, and the queen smiled slightly, saying that everything was fine, and she liked these relatives of the emperor very much.

It was already evening when Han Ruzi returned to the Tihou Mansion, Zhongshu Province did not send a chapter today, and he did not urge it, Jin Chunzhong and Qiao Wanfu both sent people to leave a message, there was no important content, and the last assassin refused to be captured, and he was already killed by Tolerance.

Yun Mengze's assassination operation was thunderous and rainy, and it seemed to be over.

Han Ruzi didn't eat, sat in the study for a while, and sent someone to summon Zhao Ruosu.

"What about the rules and conventions of the imperial court?" Han Ruzi roughly said about Han Chou, "Does the imperial court have a way to deal with this kind of official?" ”

"You must get evidence of Han Chou's ill-intentioned intentions."

Han Ruzi smiled: "Don't you still understand? Han Chou had thought of this a long time ago, so he made arrangements in advance, and he had been secretly currying favor with my uncle's family for several months, and it was slowly revealed when he was close to the capital, for the queen mother, how could such a dedicated minister really collude with the robbers? If I had any case, wouldn't Han Chou's efforts have been in vain? But this is exactly Han Chou's cleverness, except for himself, no one can tell whether what he is doing is to wait and see, or as he himself said, just to lure the snake out of the hole. ”

Han Ruzi couldn't come up with direct evidence to prove Han Chou's guilt, so he didn't want to make a meaningless argument with his mother.

Zhao Ruosu was silent for a moment and said, "Is it possible that Han Chou's plan to 'lure the snake out of the hole' is sincere?" After all, colluding with robbers to assassinate is a bit weird, whether it succeeds or not, Han Chou doesn't seem to get much benefit. ”

Han Ruzi had been thinking about it for a long time, then he thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Han Chou is definitely not 'luring the snake out of the hole', if the assassin has a chance of success, he will never hand over the Holy Army Division." ”

Han Ruzi really can't come up with evidence, and he doesn't need evidence, he knows Han Chou, and knows that this is definitely not a loyal minister, and even lacks loyalty to Da Chu, Han Chou is only loyal to Luoyang and his own luxurious life.

"If that's the case, there's a loophole in Han Chou's plan." Zhao Ruosu said.

"Hmm." Han Ruzi summoned Zhao Ruosu, what he needed was this sentence, and so far, he has not seen the loophole.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Great Chu, those who Your Majesty doesn't like will be difficult to come out in the end, and those who Your Majesty hates will be eliminated sooner or later."

Han Ruzi just wanted to say that he was not this kind of emperor, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again, he at least had this power.

Zhao Ruosu continued: "Han Chou tried his best to please the Empress Dowager Cining and the Wang family, after all, he could not win the trust of His Majesty, it was definitely not a long-term solution, I believe he himself knew this, so, what is his long-term plan?" ”

Han Ruzi was suddenly, he was silent on the surface, but he was actually angry in his heart, he was trapped in the game, which affected his judgment, and he had to be reminded by Zhao Ruosu to see the truth, "You are right, Han Chou still has tricks, there will definitely be ...... Do you have a solution? ”

"Han Chou is not using the formal means of the imperial court, and Weichen can see a little flaw, but he is unable to deal with it." Zhao Ruosu told the truth, he was thoughtful, and if he was surprised to win, it was not his forte.

"Before me, was there an emperor who was bullied like this by a minister?"

Zhao Ruosu bowed to the ground, got up and said: "From Taizu to Emperor Wu, almost every dynasty has a minister who has been killed for rebellion, Weichen has not only read the history books, but also read many official documents at that time, to tell the truth, the reasons for these people's rebellion are very puzzling, and the means are full of loopholes. Weichen didn't know why, so he could only say that they 'bullied' the emperor. ”

"But the emperor always wins."

"It has to be a winner."

Han Ruzi laughed, sent Zhao Ruosu away, called the eunuch outside, and asked, "Is the King of the East China Sea still there?" ”

"The King of the East Sea has returned home."

Han Ruzi pondered for a moment, "Go and summon him." ”

The eunuch was ordered to retreat, Zhang Youcai and Meng E came in to clean up the room, and Han Ruzi said, "Youcai, you just came back, go and rest." ”

"Your Majesty, I rested outside the city for three days, and I was not tired at all." Zhang Youcai rushed to do all the work, and almost didn't leave any for Meng E.

"Where's Jing Yao?" Han Ruzi suddenly remembered this eunuch.

Zhang Youcai put down the rag in his hand, "I've already returned to Beijing, didn't Your Majesty see him?" ”

Jing Yao is no longer the original eunuch, his current status is too low, and he has caught up with the Tihou Mansion to strengthen the guards, he can't come to see the emperor directly like Zhang Youcai.

"You go and get Jing Yao." Han Ruzi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Youcai left in a hurry.

Meng E finished the rest of the work, and even the chairs against the wall were covered with futons.

Han Ruzi had a thought that he had to say something to the outside world, so he said: "Wang Jianhuo of Luoyang has something that inspires me a lot. ”

"Hmm."

"He said that he was a man in the quagmire, if I wanted to find something in the quagmire, he could do it for me, if I wanted to get rid of the quagmire completely, he couldn't do it, I had to choose someone else."

Meng E's reaction was as slow as before, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I understand what he means, and he is right." ”

"I did choose another person, this person has almost nothing to do with the quagmire, worthy of trust, but I made a mistake, only choose the general, not the general, occasionally I still need someone in the quagmire."

Meng E didn't understand well this time, "Your Majesty is recalling Wang Jianhuo?" ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "There is more than one quagmire, and Wang Jianhuo is not the only one in the quagmire. ”

"Hmm." Meng E couldn't understand it anymore.

"You went out at night to look for your brother the other day." Han Ruzi suddenly changed the subject.

"Yes."

"The capital is so big, you must have chosen the target first and then went out to look for it, right?"

"Well, there is a Qilu club in Nancheng, my brother occasionally shows an accent on the sea, and it is relatively unnoticed to hide there, and there are a few Goolan, which is also a place where Kanto people often go."

"Tick bar?" Han Ruzi was taken aback.

"There is nothing surprising, if outsiders want to hide from the government in the capital, they can only go to temples, chambers of commerce, Goolan, casinos and other places to live."

"The Holy Army Master is hiding in Zong Zhengqing's house."

"He's a special case, not everyone can get the minister's help, and he ended up being betrayed."

Han Ruzi still felt incredible, Meng E had actually been to a place like Goolan and hesitated again and again without asking for details.

Jing Yao arrived first, although he was an old eunuch, he couldn't suppress the excitement of being summoned by the emperor, Han Ruzi chatted with him for a few words, but did not ask about specific things.

It didn't take long for the king of the East Sea to come, and he was already ready to rest at home, and as soon as he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he immediately came in his clothes, and ran a little hurriedly on horseback, and his face was still a little flushed when he walked into the study.

To deal with Han Chou, you can't just rely on the rules of the court, Han Ruzi needs someone who is as treacherous as him, that is, what Wang Jianhuo called "people in the quagmire".

Meng E quietly withdrew from the study, and Han Ruzi said, "Do your best to help me deal with one person." (To be continued.) )
