There was a sound of music outside the military tent, like a piano and not a piano, ethereal and smart, and the slightest was in the ears, Han Ruzi listened to it for a while, and felt an indescribable comfort, so he held his breath and tried to capture the beautiful sound that was as thin as a gossamer.

Zhang Youcai and Loach were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when they saw the emperor raise a hand, it seemed to signal them not to make a sound, so one of them held a plate, and the other leaned over to take chopsticks, and they all stopped there motionless, glancing at each other, inexplicably.

Suddenly there was a quarrel outside, like a black bear suddenly breaking into the woods, and frightened the beautiful and shy birds away—the song stopped abruptly, and the listener sighed, like a sweet dream interrupted.

Zhang Youcai and Loach were still inexplicable, but they knew that they could move, and continued to clean up the table.

Cui Teng broke into the tent, he looked drunk, his face was flushed, his eyes were fierce, but he wanted to make a grin, and said vaguely: "The emperor is me...... Brother-in-law, we are...... Family, hehe, brother-in-law, I know you haven't slept yet. ”

Liu Jie, the central supervisor, followed behind, dragging one of Cui Teng's arms, very dissatisfied with his rude behavior, but unfortunately this is a military camp, and there are not so many portals to stop such people.

Han Ruzi nodded to Liu Jie and motioned for him to let go, Liu Jie hesitated for a while before complying with the order and bowed down.

Cui Teng thought that the "imperial brother-in-law" was nodding to him, so he replied a few times, staggered over, and looked at the leftovers on the table, "Your Majesty will eat this?" ”

Four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice, are the emperor's dinner.

"You're drinking again." Han Ruzi said sternly.

"Hey, hey." Cui Teng lowered his voice unnecessarily, "Your Majesty forgot, I'm ...... But he was ordered to drink. ”

"That was a few days ago."

"But Your Majesty has not withdrawn his will, so I have to ...... Keep drinking, right? Cui Teng was triumphant, he found a loophole and has been using it until now.

Han Ruzi laughed angrily, Cui Teng was one of the very few people who were loyal to him, but there were too many problems, and Han Ruzi didn't even dare to give a serious official position.

Zhang Youcai and Loach didn't like Cui Teng, so they squeezed their eyebrows at his back, and walked away with chopsticks.

The two guards quietly entered the tent and stood at the door, obviously sent by Liu Jie.

Cui Teng didn't feel hated at all, pulled a stool, and sat opposite the emperor, "I got them all drunk......"

"From now on, you are not allowed to drink until I give me permission." Han Ruzi said it clearly.

Cui Teng raised his head and thought for a while, found that there were no loopholes, and said with a smile: "Then don't drink it, you are the emperor or my brother-in-law, you say." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Han Ruzi saw that Cui Teng came prepared, and his heart was eager to try, and his face showed it all.

Cui Teng smiled even more happily, "Your Majesty is really smart, no wonder my sister was so ...... before she got married" Cui Teng raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"Go on." Han Ruzi ordered.

Cui Teng slowly moved his palm, "Don't blame my sister, at that time, everyone thought that His Majesty was ...... is a fool elected by the Queen Mother, who can't even speak, and will bite and beat people. ”

Han Ruzi shook his head with a smile, "So your sister didn't want to marry into the palace at that time?" ”

"Of course! My sister cried with her mother and Lao Jun, but it was useless, my father just wanted a queen in the family, and he didn't care about anything else. ”

Cui Hong had already seen the emperor, so he didn't think he was a fool, probably disdainful of explaining it to the ladies in the family.

Thinking of Cui Xiaojun's appearance on the wedding night, Han Ruzi could understand her panic at that time.

"What's the talk of my sister?" Cui Teng scratched his head, "Anyway, my sister was really happy later, I laughed at her for what happened in the past, and she was still angry...... Forget it, don't talk about this, I'll bring a few good things to Your Majesty. ”

Cui Teng made a mysterious expression.

Han Ruzi was still thinking about Xiaojun, and said for a while: "What did you bring?" ”

Cui Teng's brewing emotions were not responded, and he suddenly became excited, "Your Majesty is really ...... I brought a few good things, but His Majesty had to let me in, and the eunuchs outside stopped me. ”

"Don't mess around."

"How is this nonsense? Your Majesty is the emperor, and if you don't give the best thing to the emperor, it's called nonsense. Cui Teng stood up, strode to the door, lifted the curtain and shouted, "You can come in." ”

Liu Jieke would not obey his orders, went into the tent to look at the emperor, and only after getting permission did he leave the tent and let go of the "good things" brought by Cui Teng.

Four women walked in, each holding a different musical instrument in their arms, Ying Ying knelt down, all of them were beautiful women who looked like fairies, they had not yet spoken, they were already shy, their eyes were lowered, but they were gorgeous.

Cui Teng ran back to the emperor in a few steps, "The country is beautiful and fragrant, there is no one in the world, the whole Luoyang, no, the whole world, can't find the fifth, Your Majesty is really lucky, they come from different places, and they happen to meet in Luoyang......"

Han Ruzi was furious and slapped it heavily on the table, "Cui Teng, who gave you the guts?" ”

Cui Teng knelt down, his eyes just above the table, showing a stunned expression, and muttered, "Your Majesty, no one ...... Nobody gave me the guts. ”

"The queen is your own sister, my trip is to stabilize the world, even if you don't help, you even sacrifice women to confuse the king's heart, can you be worthy of the queen and my trust in you?"

Cui Teng opened his mouth and stammered, and there was a sudden bang behind him, and it turned out that the woman holding the pipa was so frightened that she was at a loss, and the instrument fell to the ground.

Cui Teng said in a very low voice: "My sister is not here, no one will talk nonsense." Emperor, how can you call the emperor if you don't enjoy it? Ordinary people have three wives and four concubines, and besides, people are different, and women have their own merits......"

Han Ruzi remembered that Cui Teng used to be a good friend of the prodigal Chai Yun, and he must have the same smell, but Cui Teng just didn't show it.

Han Ruzi smiled, "Henan Yin asked you to send it?" ”

Seeing that the emperor was smiling, Cui Teng became proud again, still kneeling there, revealing a pair of eyes, "How can Han Chou have this eyesight?" He found a bunch of vulgar powder, and even I can't look at it, how can he give it to His Majesty? So I asked him to find more beauties, and I carefully selected them. I've heard of the names of these four beauties, but I didn't expect them to be in Luoyang, if it weren't for me, Han Chou would have hidden them...... Hey, what are you doing? Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Listen to me......"

Two guards carried Cui Teng and unceremoniously dragged him out of the tent.

The four women lay on the ground and trembled, no longer wanting to speak and be ashamed and looking forward to the beauty of their posture.

Liu Jie and several eunuchs came in and ordered the four women to go out, but the four women retreated on their knees, not even the musical instruments that fell on the ground.

"Wait." Han Ruzi stopped the four of them, "Who was playing the music outside just now?" ”

A woman seemed to answer, her voice was too small for Han Ruzi to hear clearly, Liu Jie leaned over, listened for a while, got up and said, "It's this woman's master, I plucked a few times when I was adjusting the strings outside, I don't want to disturb the holy hearing." ”

Han Ruzi didn't feel disturbed, but it was a pity that such a quiet and unrefined song actually came from the hand of a dusty woman, and she was about to wave her hand, but she didn't give up and hesitated for a while.

Zhang Youcai bent down, asked a few words in a low voice, looked up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this person's master is a pianist named Zhang Zhuhe, and he is seventy out of forty this year. ”

It was Zhang Youcai who understood the emperor's thoughts.

Han Ruzi nodded, and waved his hand to let the eunuch take the four girls to retreat.

Henan Yin Han Chou was anxious to curry favor with the emperor, this may be an opportunity to encourage the wealthy merchants of Luoyang to participate in the opening of the warehouse and release grain, and Han Ruzi planned to summon the Luoyang officials again tomorrow.

The sound of the song came again, this time it was played by order, it was more and more beautiful, but it lacked a little aura, Han Ruzi didn't know much about the rhythm, and after listening to it for a while, he felt bored, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: Some things can only be obtained by chance, and the more you go up and down, the farther away you are.

The emperor was ready to rest, and the music stopped.

Zhang Youcai and the others all withdrew, and Han Ruzi lay on the bed, silently running the internal skills taught to him by Meng E, and slowly entered a half-asleep state.

I don't know when the music came again, as if it were two people and two pianos, with completely different tones, responding to each other in a special way.

Han Ruzi was infected, and he only felt as if two people were holding his arm and sending him straight up to the clouds, flying freely in the ethereal clouds......

When he woke up, Han Ruzi felt unprecedentedly energetic, and the tiredness of the past few days was swept away, and he was full of energy, and Zhang Youcai and Loach, who came to serve the emperor, saw it and were surprised.

Han Ruzi cleaned up and asked, "Is the pianist named Zhang Zhuhe still there?" ”

"I sent it away last night, and if Your Majesty likes it, you can recall it at any time." Zhang Youcai replied.

"Don't worry, I have to inquire about this person first, who will ...... it"

"I'll go!" The loach immediately stood up, changing from a fishing village boy to the emperor's personal follower, he was suffocated and wanted to go out for a walk.

"You are not familiar with the place in Luoyang, how can you inquire?"

"If you have money, go everywhere to listen to music, ask other pianists, if everyone has heard of Zhang Zhuhe, then it will be, if you haven't heard of it, it means that there must be something wrong with this person, and then let the people from the criminal department investigate."

Han Ruzi looked at the loach in surprise, "Go ahead, see what you can find out." ”

"I changed my clothes, I have silver in my baggage......," Zhang Youcai admonished, and the loach strode out, waving his hand without looking back, indicating that he knew all this.

The first thing I did when I got up was to meet with the ministers who accompanied him, and the capital sent many of them, all of which had been approved, and sent copies, so that the emperor could know that the court was functioning properly.

Liu Zeqin, the head of the household department, has made a detailed inquiry to the Henan County government, and as he expected, the grain stored in the official warehouse is far from satisfying the displaced people near Luoyang, and the military department also gives detailed figures, unless there is nothing to do in the north and no longer increase the defenders, otherwise there is not much surplus grain in Aocang to be released to the displaced people.

After the court meeting, Han Ruzi wanted to summon Henan Yin immediately, but Chai Yue came over to remind him that he had to see someone in the morning.

Wang Jianhuo, the ugly king of Luoyang, came early in the morning and had been waiting outside the camp for a long time, first undergoing a full body examination, and then a brief introduction to etiquette by an official of the Ministry of Rites, requiring him to practice correctly before he could go to see the emperor.

Wang Jianhuo did as he could, not caring about the whispers of the people around him, and after entering the account, he did not kneel, but clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty has three difficult things in your heart, and the grass people recommend themselves, which may help Your Majesty solve your worries." ”

What surprised Han Ruzi the most was Wang Jianhuo's ugly appearance. (To be continued.) )
