The palace should be the emperor's home, away from the "home" for many days, the returning Han Ruzi did not feel home, before entering the city, just thinking of the high walls of the palace, he felt a slight disgust, and suddenly woke up to his reluctance to return to Beijing, one reason is that he does not want to return to the palace.

He quickly adjusted his mood, and in any case, he was now the master of the palace.

The emperor had many things to do when he returned to Beijing, but the first thing was not a national event, let alone a reunion with the empress, but to meet the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan was still the emperor's nominal mother, and the rules of Dachu required the emperor to show enough filial piety, and the empress dowager had to show enough kindness.

Han Ruzi and the Empress Dowager Shangguan couldn't do it, but fortunately, the Ministry of Etiquette and the internal officials, who were experienced, made up for all the shortcomings and covered up all the embarrassments with perfect and complicated ceremonies: a group of eunuchs gave the emperor gifts from all over the world that he had never wanted, and a female official comforted the emperor who had returned from afar for the empress dowager.

The emperor is already in power, so there is no need to kneel down anymore and say "The emperor visits the queen mother, you will always be outside, and the queen mother is in suspense", and the task is completed.

The Queen Mother just needs to keep smiling.

It wasn't until she moved to another room and met her biological mother Wang Meiren alone that Han Ruzi felt comfortable and called "Mother" with emotion.

Wang Meiren has her own dormitory, but she usually lives with the queen mother and performs the gift of concubines, which has won her a lot of fame.

Wang Meiren looked at her son carefully, reached out and touched his cheek, so as to make sure that he was not missing a single hair, and only exhaled a long breath, "Your Majesty is finally back." ”

"I'm fine." Han Ruzi spun around in place, "The body is still a lot stronger." ”

Wang Meiren shook her head with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "If you want to call me 'I', even for me, even in private, you can't just call yourself up, the emperor is the emperor, even if there is no one around, he is still the emperor." ”

"Yes, I ...... Got it. Han Ruzi can understand his mother's caution, he is not easy to be the emperor, and he should hold it firmly.

Wang Meiren softened her tone, took her son's hand, and asked a lot of trivial things on the road, how many meals do you eat every day? Is it hot or cold? Is it punctual? Is there any soup? Are the eunuchs obedient? Do you get used to changing beds every day? These are all questions that can only be asked by mothers.

Han Ruzi answered them one by one, not bored at all.

Wang Meiren was finally satisfied, let go of her hand, let her son sit down, and became serious again, "There is one person, Your Majesty should bring it back, but I haven't seen it, and another person, Your Majesty shouldn't bring it back, but I heard that he followed the team, proud, what's going on?" ”

Han Ruzi knew who her mother was talking about, and said with a smile: "Jin Guifei is a Hun and does not want to return to Beijing, so she chooses to live in the grassland. ”

"The choice yourself? When did the Great Chu Emperor allow the concubines to choose their own residences? Who was such a large palace built for? Besides, after all, it is the concubine of Da Chu, and there is no reliable person to watch it, so let it be left outside, or a barbarian land that does not pay attention to etiquette, isn't Your Majesty afraid of the shame of the world? Jincheng, where Shangshu Yuan Jiuding of the Ministry of Rites went to in person, never objected to a word? ”

Han Ruzi's face was slightly red, as if he had returned to his childhood, when he occasionally did something wrong, his loving mother would become strict.

But after all, he had grown up, and replied: "Yuan Shangshu is against it, and he once led the accompanying officials to admonish him. ”

"But Your Majesty doesn't listen, and you still want to go your own way?"

"The situation is a bit special, when I married Jin Guifei in Jincheng, I only had the seal of the treasure seal around me, and there was no seal of canonization, so ...... The canonization document is incomplete, strictly speaking, Jin Guifei is not yet an official concubine, and will not be included in the clan genealogy. ”

The emperor has twelve seals, each with its own purpose, and the treasure seal is the most important, but it is not omnipotent.

Wang Meiren frowned slightly, "Is this okay?" Can't Jin Guifei and the Huns see the flaws? ”

"Concubine Jin knows the truth, she doesn't care, the Huns probably know what's going on, but pretend to be confused."

Da Shan Yu was in a hurry to return to the grassland, convinced that it was enough for the emperor to like Jin Zhuiduo, and he didn't care about anything else.

Wang Meiren was thinking about the concubine, "She doesn't care?" How could she not care...... Forget it, what about the other person? ”

"King of the East Sea? He has changed a lot, and I can vouch for that he will never have another dissent. ”

"The king of the East China Sea doesn't have different hearts, what about the others? Sometimes it's not who wants to rebel, but a group of ambitious fanatics, such as the King of England. ”

The king's whereabouts are still unknown, and it is said that he was taken to sea by a group of thieves.

"If that's the case, I'll keep the King of the East China Sea by my side and keep an eye on it at all times."

Han Ruzi's tone was flat, but Wang Meiren heard the tough meaning, this is her son, she can't understand it anymore, Ruzi has rarely made a lot of noise since he was a child, but even if he admits his mistakes on the surface of what he insists on, he will still insist on it later.

He is now the emperor, and he doesn't even need to admit his mistakes on the surface.

Wang Meiren softened her tone again, "Okay, Your Majesty thinks that if you can watch the King of the East China Sea, then it should be no problem, but you must be careful, the King of the East China Sea, like his mother, is very good at covering up." ”

"Yes, I'll be careful."

Wang Meiren thought for a while, "Why did Your Majesty terminate the draft?" ”

"The rebellion of the Qi State, the invasion of the Huns, the frequent military disasters of Great Chu, I was besieged in Jincheng, and I was lucky to get out, at this time, the draft is out of time, it only increases the burden of the people, and makes the people of the world think that I am a faint king."

"Alas, Your Majesty is right, it's all my fault, living in the palace for a long time has made me forget the suffering of the people."

"Mother is also a good intention, what's wrong?"

"But Your Majesty's decree came a little later, and I have already summoned ten good show girls into the palace, what should I do, do you want to send them out?"

Terminating the draft, it is the Ministry of Rites and the corresponding officials who are responsible for sending the show girl out of the palace, but it is tantamount to highlighting the mistake of the emperor's biological mother, Han Ruzi can only say: "Those who have entered the palace should stay, just serve the mother and the queen mother." ”

"Heh, we two old women, how many more people do we need to serve? Stay by Your Majesty's side, it doesn't matter to others, two of them are from noble backgrounds, and they can't even have a name after entering the palace...... Forget it, Your Majesty has just returned, and these things will be discussed later. ”

"Yes, Mother." Han Ruzi didn't want to worry about the harem now.

Wang Meiren still didn't mean to let her son go, and took a sip of half-cold tea, "How did Henan Yin Hanchou offend His Majesty and actually want to remove him from his post?" ”

"Dismissal? My mother misunderstood, he was promoted, and he was promoted from Henan Yin to Zong Zhengqing. He is an elder of the clan, he is capable of doing things, and he is suitable for this position, the original Zongzheng Qing is old, and he has been asking for Zhishi for several years, and it is time to replace him. ”

"As soon as Your Majesty said this, I understood." Wang Meiren smiled, and she didn't want to have a dispute with the emperor now, not to mention that she had been reunited after a long absence, and her son had encountered a great disaster in Jincheng, she only cared about her son's safety now, and she didn't care much about other things.

"Your Majesty has really grown up." Wang Meiren said sincerely, stretched out her hand, wanted to pinch her son's face as before, immediately put down her arm, and repeated: "Your Majesty has really grown up." ”

Han Ruzi held her mother's hand, "No matter how big it is, it's your son." ”

The mother and son chatted for a while, it was getting dark outside, and Wang Meiren finally let her son go, "Go, Your Majesty is a person with a wife, you can't always stay with your mother, the queen is still waiting for you, she is not easy these days, Your Majesty should comfort her well." ”

"Yes, Mother." Han Ruzi was a little surprised, she didn't expect her mother to say good things about the queen, she got up and was about to say goodbye, and remembered one more thing, "Deng Cui, the acting captain of the country, has a meritorious role in saving the driver, and hopes to send my sister to the palace." ”

"Your Majesty is in charge of this kind of thing, just discuss it with the queen." Wang Meiren is a little tired, in the past few days, she is more tired than the emperor walking on the road, calculating the itinerary all the time, and now the heart that is hanging finally let go, and she feels that the whole person seems to be hollowed out.

"Mother has a good rest." Han Ruzi retreated, feeling much more steady, went out to meet Zhang Youcai and other eunuchs, and hurriedly walked to his bedroom.

The queen dressed up and waited for more than half a day, knowing that the emperor would be busy, so she didn't send someone to urge, and sat upright alone, thinking about every bit in the tired marquis's mansion, her heart was warm, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty returns to the palace!" Someone shouted outside.

Cui Xiaojun stood up and found that his heartbeat was a little faster.

The reunion between the emperor and the empress does not have so many etiquettes, but they also have to abide by certain rules, and they have their own female officials to guide them, and the two of them do it.

The ceremony was soon over, the female officer withdrew, and the lady-in-waiting, who had helped the queen remove her heavy tiara, also withdrew, leaving only two people in the room.

Han Ruzi stood ten steps away, looking at the queen intently.

Cui Xiaojun pursed his lips and smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't recognize me?" ”

"Why has the queen changed so much?"

"Change?" Cui Xiaojun looked down at himself in surprise, "What's the change?" Even the clothes are old. ”

"No, there are changes." Han Ruzi stepped forward and approached slowly, "More beautiful than before." ”

Cui Xiaojun's face turned red and said with a smile: "Where did Your Majesty learn the rhetoric?" ”

Han Ruzi hugged the queen's waist, "Rhetoric is not learned, when you meet the right person, it will naturally pop out of your mouth." ”

The queen prepared wine and food, and the two of them had no appetite, so they went to bed hand in hand, complaining to each other, all gossip, not a word of importance.

On the first day of returning to the palace, Han Ruzi felt very good, the contradiction between his mother and the queen did not seem to be as big as he imagined, and he didn't need to worry about it, and then, he could concentrate on dealing with national affairs.

The emperor didn't have to go to court in the first two days of his return to Beijing, so Han Ruzi still got up early, went to Lingyun Pavilion, summoned Yang Feng, the middle palm seal, and wanted to take advantage of these two days to hand over to Yang Feng.

Yang Feng had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time, still looking lukewarm, as if this was just the end of a holiday, and the students might be a little excited, but the teacher felt that he was going to face the stubborn disciples again.

The two nodded to each other, without even saying a word of greeting, Yang Feng began to introduce the situation in detail in the court, there are some important passages, others cannot approve on their behalf, they must be seen by the emperor himself, and they need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Han Ruzi quickly entered the state and was ready to officially take over the entire imperial court.

After a morning, Yang Feng finished his introduction and talked about his own affairs: "Since Your Majesty has returned safely, please allow me to step down from the post of Seal Keeper." ”

Han Ruzi was stunned, he didn't expect to hear this sentence at all, "What does Yang Gong mean?" ”

"During Your Majesty's time trapped in Jincheng, I made some decisions that made me unsuitable for another office."

"I understand Yang Gong's intentions, and I have never blamed you."

"Even so, please let me out of the palace and let me continue to track down the whereabouts of Chun Yuxiao, the one who wants to be angry."

Han Ruzi didn't understand how a smart person like Yang Feng could be trapped in front of such a hurdle and couldn't get over it. (To be continued.) )
