The king of the East China Sea was on call, trying to make an indifferent appearance, but he couldn't hide the gloom and resentment in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The princess has taught you a lesson again?" Han Ruzi asked.

The King of the East China Sea glanced at the two guards in the tent and Liu Jie, the central supervisor, "Your Majesty is also too ...... Let's go on it resolutely, don't give any time to prepare, the Tan family has dozens of people, the oldest is seventy or eighty years old, and the youngest is only three or four years old. ”

Han Ruzi turned his head and asked Liu Jie: "Is that so?" ”

Liu Jie bowed and said: "The Tan family has a total of forty-seven people, plus ten servants, the oldest is sixty-three years old, the youngest is eight years old, in good health, and has no headache and brain fever, this morning at the end of the hour, the hour and the hour to leave the house, before and after an hour, a total of fifty gold ingots, silver ingots, ......."

Han Ruzi raised his hand and said that it was enough, "It is said that the Tan family practices martial arts, and what they said is really true, plus the Tan family's financial resources, it is not difficult to go out temporarily, right?" ”

The king of the East China Sea had a blue and red face, and he snorted: "It's all the princess who said it...... What has Your Majesty called me? ”

Han Ruzi winked, and Liu Jie and the two guards bowed and withdrew.

Han Ruzi stood up, circled around the East China Sea King, and said, "You're not convinced, are you?" ”

The East Sea King's face was already bad, but at this time, his expression changed suddenly, "You, you...... If Your Majesty wants to get rid of me, you will say that the king wants his ministers to die, that ...... That one...... There is no need to make up charges, just give death, hang, kill yourself, and suffocate to death...... Give me some poison, the kind that seals your throat with blood, anyway...... That's how my mother died anyway, and our mother and son ......."

The King of the East China Sea couldn't go on, and Han Ruzi smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't start so quickly." ”

"Your Majesty...... Well? Do you still want to start? ”

"Tell me, what's going on with the Tan family, they won't just sit back, right?" Han Ruzi straightened the color.

"I, I...... Does Your Majesty want me to betray the Tan family? ”

"I want you to save their lives, I won't forgive the Tan family again." Han Ruzi said coldly that during the amnesty, he couldn't single out the Tan family for punishment, but he had been paying attention to "Buyi Tan" and believed that they would not become honest.

"I, I really don't know, I just heard a sentence or two of small talk, and the Tan family seems to be writing to someone for help."

"To whom?"

"I really don't know this, and they don't treat me as a Tan family." The King of the East China Sea sighed, since the failure of the battle for the throne, his status in the Tan family has plummeted.

Han Ruzi felt that he couldn't ask anything more, so he retreated to his chair, sat silently for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Or—you can run away." ”

The King of the East Sea was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "You just said that you wouldn't do it too quickly, why did you change your mind now?" ”

"This army is going too slowly, and if I want to go out of the camp to join Chai Yue, there must be a suitable excuse for me to bypass those conformist 'habits'."

"You're the emperor, don't you just give an order? Who would dare not listen? ”

"Everyone listened, and afterwards in the name of safety, they discounted my will. I don't want to waste time fighting them at this time, so ......"

The King of the East China Sea stared at the emperor, "How do I know that Your Majesty doesn't have ulterior motives, or that you are really doing a fake show, and really give me a charge of fleeing?" ”

"If I did, you wouldn't have a choice." Han Ruzi said with a smile, it is impossible and unnecessary to gain the trust of the King of the East China Sea.

"I—I'll go back and get ready."

"You can't always let the princess make up your mind for you, this matter has to be avoided by the Tan family, you stay here, and we will set off later."

The King of the East China Sea felt that it was dangerous no matter how he thought about it, but he didn't dare to object, "Since that's the case...... Well, I agree, my life is in your hands anyway, but there is something I have to say. ”

"Say."

"Your Majesty leaves the camp without permission, and if someone, such as that one, takes the opportunity to make trouble, Your Majesty cannot blame me, let alone say that I planned it, because you made the idea."

Han Ruzi knows who "who" is, "Cui Hong?" Without you, he would have no banner, and with his prudence he would never have made trouble at this time, but on the contrary, he would have immediately caught up with him to show his loyalty. ”

"Your Majesty really believes in Cui Hong so much? He's my uncle, but I don't believe in him at all. ”

"I have a way." Han Ruzi blinked.

The King of the East China Sea was stunned for a moment, and always felt that the person in front of him did not look like the emperor, and couldn't help but say: "This is not a joke, Your Majesty's foundation is unstable, in case...... In case of an eventuality, there are few people in the entire court thinking about Your Majesty. ”

"It's like a war, the court has a lot of people and good armor, but there are no horses, and it moves slowly, and our side has a lot less people and no better weapons, but on horseback, it moves quickly. If it is a head-to-head confrontation, our side will definitely lose, and at this time we must ride a horse and run at the same time, not too close, not too far, let the court follow me, not me follow the court. ”

The King of the East China Sea was stunned for a while, "This is the way the Huns play." ”

"It doesn't matter who plays the game, it's the ability to win."

"Your Majesty will clear my name afterwards, right?"

"Your escape is just a rumor, and if I don't pursue it in the end, who will mention it?"

The King of the East China Sea thought seriously for a while, and decided to find a reliable witness, "Call Cui Teng." ”

Cui Teng arrived as soon as he called, he had met a small number of northern troops and a large number of banners led by Chai Yue in Baiqiao Town, and he admired his brother-in-law so much, he didn't expect it to be just a coincidence - Chai Yue didn't have time to lead the army south, so he used this trick to bluff and coincide with the tired marquis.

Hearing that he was going to sneak out of the camp, Cui Teng agreed without saying a word, and was eager to set off immediately.

It was the fourth watch of the night, and the emperor suddenly led a thousand elite soldiers out of the camp, with only thirty guards with him, not even the eunuchs who served him personally, and left a pile of unprocessed pieces and half-written letters in the sleeping tent......

By the time the entire military camp reacted, it was already half an hour later, and rumors spread that the king of the East China Sea fled at night, and the emperor personally went to chase him, leaving a will before leaving, so that the general Cui Hong was in charge of the whole army.

Cui Hong was shocked, but he saw half a letter in the emperor's bedchamber, which made him feel a lot more relieved, and the letter vaguely indicated that the queen was pregnant.

Cui Hong immediately sent people to chase after the emperor, and then reorganized the whole army, leaving the rear army and a large number of nobles to set off normally, and he led the main army to set off immediately.

Han Ruzi was finally able to gallop unfettered again.

It's early spring, the snow is melting, the road is softening slightly, and it's a good time to gallop.

Soon after dawn, this army of 1,000 people arrived in Shang County, and a camp had been arranged outside the city, if the army marched normally, this would be the place where the emperor would be stationed the next day, only a few dozen miles away from the previous camp.

The emperor suddenly arrived, startling the officials in the camp, Han Ruzi didn't say much, only asked a few ambiguous words, so that the other party mistakenly thought that he was chasing someone, and then ordered the soldiers to take food on the spot, replace the weak horses, and go on the road again, and the county magistrate and other officials who arrived in a hurry only had time to hear the sound of horses' hooves.

This army of 1,000 people is still half of the northern army and half of the southern army, and they have all participated in the battle of the North Gate with the Marquis, and they obey the emperor's orders.

The veteran Fang Daye did not follow, he was too old, and staying in the Chinese army was also a supervision of Cui Hong.

The next camp is still thirty or fifty miles, according to this arrangement, it will take ten days to reach Hangu Pass, Cui Hong is indeed extremely cautious.

Because it was the emperor's personal expedition, after receiving the order from all over the country, he had made preparations early, so this section of the road was very easy, and he could move forward quickly and lightly, and he only rested for three hours at night, and the resident officials stayed outside all night, all confused by the emperor's behavior, but he was a lowly position, and he was not qualified to face the saint, let alone ask questions.

The king of the East China Sea was so tired that he chose a tent at random, and when he went in and fell down, he slept without even eating.

Cui Teng was more energetic, and chatted with the officials outside the camp for a while, he was the queen's brother, and the emperor's cronies brought by him, although he did not have any specific official positions, but he was very respected, after returning to the camp, he was very happy, and said to the emperor: "Yes, yes, this trip is too right." ”

Han Ruzi only slept for more than two hours, first the messenger sent by Cui Hong caught up, not just one, but three in succession, the first in the name of the general begged the emperor to stay in place and wait for the army, the last two signed more and more officials, even Fang Daye was among them.

Han Ruzi knew what would be written in the letter, so he just glanced at it and put it aside, instead, he asked the messenger carefully about the situation and distance of the army, and confirmed that Cui Hong led the army behind him, and he was more relieved.

He's playing a dangerous game, but that's the only way to get a quick fix.

Before dawn, the messenger of the former general Chai Yue also arrived, and after reading the letter, Han Ruzi ordered the whole army to set off.

As the Queen Mother expected, Shangguan Sheng did not stick to Hangu Pass, set a fire, and led the army to escape.

Chai Yue had already led his army into the pass, extinguished the flames, and summoned the remnants of the great general Han Xing while waiting for the emperor's will.

In the original plan, if Shangguan Sheng fled, Chai Yue should stay at Hangu Pass for a while until the number of soldiers gathered reached 10,000.

It was another non-stop journey, and in the afternoon of the same day, Han Ruzi arrived at Hangu Pass, a little faster than he had planned.

Shangguan Sheng fled in a hurry, the fire was not sufficient, and it was quickly extinguished, and the remnants of Han Xing gathered by Chai Yue, plus the people he brought, were close to 10,000, and he was ready to set off early the next morning to catch the arrival of the emperor, and he was also startled.

In Hangu Pass, Han Ruzi got bad news, Shangguan Sheng really gathered a group of displaced people, claiming to capture Luoyang, open a warehouse to release grain, and relieve the world.

"Shangguan Sheng has the guidance of a master." Han Ruzi can only come to such a conclusion.

"It's definitely not Lin Kunshan, he doesn't have the ability." The king of the East Sea said.

Chai Yue also found Han Xing's guards, and the information they provided confirmed Han Ruzi's previous suspicion, that someone had indeed sent a sword, and after Han Xing saw it, he immediately summoned this person, but he was assassinated, and the assassin and the sword disappeared afterwards.

"Luoyang City is thick and deep, Shangguan Sheng can't attack it, he only needs to stay for three days, and the army can surround him." Chai Yue is full of confidence in defeating Shangguan Sheng.

Han Ruzi was worried that Shangguan Sheng's plan was not so simple, and ordered Chai Yue not to wait any longer, and immediately led the army to set off, bringing as many people as he could, and leaving the rest in Hangu Pass to be rectified by the emperor.

Chai Yue led 6,000 people to set off overnight.

The king of the East China Sea has been staying by the emperor's side, and while he is idle, he said: "I said I don't know, because I also just remembered that the Tan family seems to have mentioned Luoyang, and their helper may be there." (To be continued.) )
