(Thanks to readers for their "kick to the stone" and "heathers" for their red tips.) )
The Cui family's women's army dared to go straight to the mansion of the abolished emperor with confidence, and the confidence came from the king of the East China Sea who was raised by the Cui family, and he was almost sure that he was about to become the new emperor, and suddenly the bad news came, and the successor turned out to be someone else, and the confidence was instantly wiped out.
The old gentleman of the Cui family has been pampered all his life, and he has never suffered such a big blow, and he stared at his grandson Cui Sheng for a long time, "You say it again." ”
"I heard that the Queen Mother has elected a new emperor, and she is very popular with the ministers."
Lao Jun said that he would be angry when he was angry, and he picked up his palm and slapped Cui Sheng hard, "Nonsense, disturbing the morale of the army, just hearing about it, have you confirmed it?" If the Queen Mother doesn't set up the son of Emperor Huan, who else does she want to set up? ”
Cui Sheng covered his face, "Okay, I'll inquire again, but it is rumored that the King of the East China Sea has been sent out of the palace......"
Lao Jun turned around abruptly and glared at the tired marquis, "You robbed my granddaughter halfway......"
"Your granddaughter is Madame Tired, and this is her home." Han Ruzi glanced at Yang Feng and added, "That's right, the King of the East China Sea is in the mansion. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Cui family was in an uproar, since the king of the East China Sea was not in the palace, the new emperor was definitely not him.
Lao Jun stood stunned for a while, and suddenly fell backwards, Cui Sheng and a group of women supported him in time, Cui Sheng had just been beaten, but he was very filial to his grandmother, and yelled at Han Ruzi: "If something happens to Lao Jun, the Cui family will not be finished with you!" ”
Han Ruzi didn't understand what this had to do with him, but this old woman was also Xiaojun's grandmother, and he couldn't see death without help, so he said, "Help me to the back." ”
Han Ruzi led the way, the eunuchs got out of the way, and the women helped Lao Jun to the main hall in the second courtyard. Cui Sheng wanted to follow in, but was pulled by his mother, and suddenly remembered that there was something more important, turned around and ran outside the house, he had to find out the situation as soon as possible.
The front yard was quiet, and the officers and men looked at each other. Impressed by the Cui family's women's army, the lieutenant came out of the room and secretly congratulated himself that he had escaped, but soon became more worried: there is a new emperor in Dachu, and the future of the tired marquis is uncertain, so he must not be affected.
In the main hall, the women took care of Lao Jun with all hands and feet, and none of the male servants who came with him dared to come in, and they all patrolled outside the door.
Han Ruzi took advantage of the chaos to drag Yang Feng aside. Pointing at Lao Jun and whispering, "I know I have to learn a lot of things, but even this one has to be learned?" ”
"The old woman is as fierce as the three armies, and she has been living in the inner house for a long time, and she finally came out, so she should see everything."
Han Ruzi was speechless, but he always felt that something was wrong, Yang Feng smiled and said: "When you are tired of studying the history of the country, have you heard the records of Emperor He and the Queen Mother?" ”
"Emperor He made several uncles marquis in front of the Queen Mother's sickbed? Heard. ”
Yang Feng snorted. Didn't say anything more.
Han Ruzi understood what he meant, but felt that his mother was both gentle and intelligent. He will never be like the old gentleman of the Cui family, not to mention that he has no uncle.
Lao Jun woke up slowly, forgot where he was, and forgot his granddaughter, and said in a trembling voice: "Where is my good grandson?" Is he an emperor? ”
No one dared to answer, Lao Jun's eyes swept over. finally landed on Han Ruzi in the distance, and said viciously: "It's you again, since you were born, you have been destroying the fortune of the East China Sea King, until now." Why? Why aren't you dead yet? ”
Han Ruzi was furious in his heart, but when he thought of Yang Feng's words, he took this experience as a test, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "If the heavens want to descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds...... In short, let him suffer first, the East Sea King's luck is not good, because he has not suffered enough. ”
Lao Jun stood up to stand up, just left the chair and sat down again, covering his heart and saying, "This kid is going to be angry with me, beat him, beat him hard." ”
The women hummed a few times, but no one moved, only one woman reminded in a low voice: "Laojun, this is not the Cui Mansion ......."
Lao Jun had nowhere to vent his anger, raised his hand and slapped the woman, "I'm not confused, tell me with you!" ”
The woman covered her face and retreated, Lao Jun stared at Han Ruzi again, and said in a softer tone, "So my grandson is also in your mansion, let's say, how do you want to release him?" ”
"Let it out? I wonder how the King of the East Sea will come out. ”
Lao Jun raised his eyebrows again, and a person ran in outside the door at this time, threw himself on Lao Jun's knees, hugged her legs, and cried and made trouble.
The carriage of the King of the East Sea was parked outside, and he was frightened, and he did not dare to come out when he heard that the Cui family was coming, and he did not run out to see his grandmother until he was sure that there was really no danger.
Han Ruzi had to admit that after a while, his knowledge really increased a lot, and he was also coquettish in front of his mother, but he was very restrained, and he had never cried like the King of the East China Sea, but he felt that the temper of the King of the East China Sea was really a match for Lao Jun, and he didn't understand why the King of the East China Sea had never mentioned this grandmother before.
What surprised him even more was that those women were silent just now, but now they were all wiped their tears, crying sincerely alone, even Cui Xiaojun's mother was no exception.
There are courts everywhere, and the scene in front of me is very similar to the Imperial Palace and the Qinzheng Palace.
Han Ruzi nodded to Yang Fengwei, indicating that he had really learned something.
Yang Feng didn't seem to notice the movements of the tired marquis, and pondered to himself, Han Ruzi asked in a low voice, "Have you guessed who the new emperor is?" ”
"I have a little guess, but I don't know how the Queen Mother did it."
Han Ruzi was about to ask again, but the king of the East China Sea over there finally stopped crying, got up to wipe away his tears, turned around and said: "Han Ruzi, we have all been deceived by the Queen Mother, she abandoned Emperor Huan's two sons and set up a new monarch, you and I have to work together to deal with her." ”
Lao Jun hadn't wiped away his tears yet, he grabbed his grandson's wrist with one hand, and with an almost adoring smile on his face, he looked up, obviously very proud of his grandson.
Han Ruzi shook his head, "Thank you, no matter who becomes the emperor, I will honestly be a tired marquis here, it was not my wish to be an emperor in the first place, and now I don't have this idea." I haven't settled in here yet, and I can't entertain guests, so please walk slowly. ”
The grandson of his grandson was respectful, and the other party didn't bow his head and bowed, Lao Jun couldn't help but be furious, and was about to speak, when the king of the East China Sea sneered: "You are really hopeless, don't send the opportunity to the door, okay, you can be a turtle with a shrunken head here, Lao Jun, let's go." ”
Han Ruzi turned sideways to make a gesture of sending off guests, refusing to give in, "I wish you a smooth stretch of your head, the more you stretch the better." ”
If it was in the past, the king of the East China Sea would have had a seizure on the spot, but today he was tired and afraid, and he was really in no mood to quarrel, and there was a more urgent crisis to deal with, so he just snorted coldly, took his grandmother's hand and walked out.
Lao Jun listened to this grandson very much, and when he arrived at the door, he remembered that there was a granddaughter, "Xiao Jun is here......"
The King of the East China Sea snorted again in annoyance, "My cousin betrayed the Cui family, she came here voluntarily, why are you still thinking about her?" Anyway, the Cui family has several daughters, so it's better to have her without her. ”
"Xiaojun was brought up by me, she won't ......"
"What's not going to be? You've been here for so long, did she come out to see you? ”
Lao Jun still wanted to speak, but the king of the East China Sea pushed her out, "The throne has been snatched away, and you still care about a ruthless and unrighteous granddaughter?" Hurry back to the house and find a way to contact my uncle, he controls the southern army outside the city, I don't believe that the queen mother really dares to offend my uncle. ”
Lao Jun woke up and quickened his pace, "Yes, yes, my grandson is too smart, look for your uncle, let's go ......"
The women followed, Cui Xiaojun's mother pretended to look for the fallen things, stayed at the back, and when she passed by Han Ruzi, she asked in a low voice, "You really don't fight for the throne?" ”
"Without roots and foundations, I don't do delusions."
Cui Mu nodded, and stuffed a hairpin into Han Ruzi's hand, "Treat Xiaojun well." "Let's hurry after Lao Jun.
The master and servant of the Cui family came and went quickly, and after a while, they were gone without a trace.
Han Ruzi was stunned with the hairpin, and said for a while: "Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan can actually allow the Cui family to fly and dominate for so long?" ”
"Emperor Wu is suspicious, Emperor Huan is worried, for them, arrogant relatives are more credible than silent princes and ministers."
Han Ruzi had never experienced the true feeling of imperial power, so it was difficult to understand the approach of Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan, and then he thought to himself, "For example, the more I look like the faint monarch, the safer it is, because the faint monarch will not have anyone to support it?" ”
Yang Feng smiled and nodded, "You are still too far from the standard of 'faint monarch', this matter will be talked about later, the queen mother's election of a new monarch is a real threat to you." ”
"Ah, don't sell it, even if it's just a guess, tell me, who does the Queen Mother want to make the emperor?" Han Ruzi couldn't hide his concern about this matter, although it wouldn't be long before the news came out, he still wanted to know as soon as possible.
"If I'm not mistaken-" Yang Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Youcai, who had sneaked in, and didn't push him, "The Queen Mother chose the descendants of the former prince to succeed to the throne. ”
"Former prince?"
"Emperor Wu has set up three princes, the first two are Prince Ju and Prince Yong, who have been sentenced one after another, you should have heard of it, right?"
Han Ruzi nodded, Zhang Youcai stood behind him, and whispered: "The two princes died in the East Palace, so it is haunted there, and no one dares to go." ”
Yang Feng snorted disdainfully and continued: "The families of Prince Ju and Prince Yong were also affected, but it is said that they each had a son who was less than three years old at the time who survived, and one should be sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other should be six or seven years old, the latter one is very much in line with the requirements of the Queen Mother, but the ministers may be more supportive of the first, I don't know how the Queen Mother was chosen." ”
"In this way, won't the Queen Mother offend Mrs. Cui?" Han Ruzi couldn't understand the Queen Mother's intentions.
Yang Feng thought for a while, "It can only be the first, when Prince Ju was the most trusted during his lifetime, he was in charge of the Southern Army, his descendants were called emperors, and he was able to break up the support of the Southern Army for Cui Taifu, and he was the prince for more than ten years, and he was the most popular among the ministers of the court, but-"
However, the orphan of the eldest prince is sixteen or seventeen years old, close to adulthood, and it will be difficult for the queen mother to control the government again.
Yang Feng muttered to himself, almost forgetting that there were outsiders around, "This is not enough, the Queen Mother must have a stronger guarantee before she dares to do this......"
The Fu Cheng, who ran away during the day, came in in a panic and said to the tired marquis: "There is a decree in the palace, asking all the children of the clan who have titles in the city to go to the Taimiao Temple to meet the new emperor immediately. ”
Han Ruzi and Yang Feng don't have to guess anymore.
