How big of a deal is an emperor's stomach ache? Han Ruzi knew it.

As soon as the two eunuchs guarding the door heard the emperor's wail, they immediately opened their eyes from half-asleep and raised their heads, like watchdogs hearing footsteps, alert and dazed.

Their reactions were not as fast as the others, Luo Huanzhang walked to the seat in two steps, knelt down on one leg, picked up the emperor, and stared into his eyes.

Han Ruzi only understood afterwards that Luo Huanzhang was checking whether the emperor's pain was true or false, and it was no wonder that the master of the East China Sea King was suspicious, as soon as he told the crucial secret, the emperor fell on the seat and rolled, which was too coincidental.

At that time, Han Ruzi didn't think about it so much, he only felt pain, and the pain was so painful that he didn't dare to straighten his waist, so he could only curl up in a ball, large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his mouth moaned.

With just one glance, Luo Huanzhang was convinced that the emperor was not pretending, and said to the eunuch: "Go and pass the imperial doctor." ”

The two eunuchs panicked, hurriedly stopped, circled each other for half a circle, and then one stayed and the other ran outside. The eunuch who was left behind was relatively young, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and he didn't know what to think, and suddenly pounced on the emperor, as if he was going to die together.

Although Luo Huanzhang is a scholar, his body is not weak, he freed his left hand, pushed the eunuch away, and said sharply: "What are you panicking, go and inform the Queen Mother." ”

The eunuch whimpered, and even ran out of the door.

"What's the matter, has anyone assassinated Your Majesty?" Luo Huanzhang's expression was grim, like a mighty general, not a scholar full of benevolence and righteousness.

Han Ruzi knew what was going on, the pill that Meng E let him take took effect, the symptoms were more violent than expected, and the pain in his abdomen was twisting, "No, maybe...... It may be that the food is not right, it's okay, it will be fine in a while. ”

"This matter is by no means simple, Your Majesty ......" Luo Huanzhang was halfway through his words, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, he lowered his voice and quickened his speed, "The ministers of the DPRK and China all support Your Majesty's pro-government, and someone will contact Your Majesty soon, please don't be suspicious." ”

As soon as Han Ruzi wanted to ask who had secretly stuffed the note yesterday, Zuo Ji and several eunuchs ran in, knelt on the ground and formed a half-circle.

"Your Majesty...... His Majesty ...... "Zuo Ji has never been a calm man, and he has maintained a cold attitude in the morning, but now he has become a poor insect who is overly frightened, sweating like rain, and seems to faint before the emperor."

If the emperor really has three longs and two shorts, the queen mother's favor can't keep him.

The pain in the abdomen was not so obvious, turned into a ball of heat, looking for a way out, it felt like eating too many chili peppers, Han Ruzi reluctantly sat up, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a towel took the initiative to send it to his hand, he wiped his sweat, felt better, and said: "It's okay, I feel much better, maybe I have eaten a bad stomach." ”

"The Imperial Chef is responsible for this!" Zuo Ji almost shouted this sentence.

Luo Huanzhang knelt and retreated, "It may also be that he used too much force when practicing martial arts, so that his breath was not smooth." ”

"Ahh That's right, Your Majesty practices every afternoon, and I have long said that this will not work. Zuo Ji was anxious to shirk the responsibility, and he could pass it on to anyone.

Han Ruzi didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he squeezed out a smile: "It's just a small accident, it's not worth making a fuss, especially don't alarm the Queen Mother." ”

"Don't you need to inform the Queen Mother?" Zuo Ji said blankly.

Han Ruzi shook his head, "There are so many major events in the world, it is enough for the Queen Mother to worry about, even if I can't share the worries of the Queen Mother, I shouldn't make any more trouble." ”

Zuo Ji suddenly understood, the Queen Mother was quite suspicious, the matter was really troublesome, a large number of people in the palace were going to be unlucky, and their responsibilities were not small, so he hurriedly turned around and said to a eunuch: "Go and chase those two guys back, don't talk nonsense everywhere." ”

The eunuch was ordered to go downstairs, and Zuo Ji said to the other eunuchs: "Everyone is responsible for this matter, and no one is allowed to talk nonsense, understand?" ”

No one wanted to take this responsibility, and all the eunuchs nodded together.

Zuo Ji was still not at ease, and came to the emperor on his knees, "Is Your Majesty really okay?" In case of...... In case ......"

Han Ruzi stood up and took a deep breath, "Look, I've recovered. You all go down and ask Master Luo to continue to teach the history of the country. ”

Most of the eunuchs left, Zuo Ji stayed, looking at the emperor with a good eye, the emperor frowned, and he would also hold his breath and be nervous for a while.

The rest of the lesson, Luo Huanzhang, spoke decently, looked out the window, immersed in the perfect prosperity of Emperor Cheng.

It's time to go to the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor got up and said goodbye to the master, the two finally made eye contact, Han Ruzi blinked, and Luo Huanzhang nodded very lightly.

Luo Huanzhang said that someone will contact the emperor soon, who will this person be? Han Ruzi's heart was full of curiosity and excitement, he expected it right, the ministers supported the emperor, but the choice of Luo Huanzhang as the messenger was a bit unexpected, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable.

Luo Huanzhang is a commoner, the master of the King of the East China Sea and the Xixi seat of the Cui family, and may be the person who is least suspected by the Queen Mother, except for him, there is really no one else who can send a message to the emperor.

But who was the person who stuffed the note yesterday?

Han Ruzi had a lot of doubts in his heart, but he couldn't think about it, the hot qi in his body was swimming more and more rapidly, and he had to concentrate on running the reverse breathing method in order to barely suppress it, so that he no longer had the energy to think about complex problems.

As soon as the emperor entered the Qinzheng Palace, he was congratulated by the ministers, and the good news had just come from the Kanto region, and the Taifu Cui Hong, who had reunited the remnants of the army and received support from the counties, fought a victory outside Luoyang City, and the Qi army was defeated.

It is still uncertain whether this victory will be able to completely defeat the Qi army, but everyone believes that this will be a turning point, and from then on, the Qi State is no longer an urgent threat, and the next thing to consider is to ensure that one does not catch all the rebels, especially the King of Qi, if he is allowed to escape justice for more than a month, it will be a great shame for the imperial court.

There are also barbarians from all over the world who take advantage of the fire to rob, bandits who do not measure their strength, and princes from all sides who vacillate, and it is time to prepare to settle accounts with them one by one.

Han Ruzi just listened, and gradually found that his previous views on the ministers were a little biased, including Prime Minister Yin Harmless, none of these ministers were really incompetent, and they could casually say the names and advantages and disadvantages of a certain county governor or even a certain county magistrate, as for the local specialties, customs and terrain, not to mention, the general trend of the world is in the minds of these ministers.

He once thought that Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry, was a guy who had no ideas, but the facts proved that Feng Ju had the most ideas, he knew where the bandits were not to be feared, where good generals were needed, and where elite soldiers were needed, and basically his suggestions could always be unanimously passed.

The imperial court already had an absolute advantage, and there was no reason for them to hide their abilities any longer.

Han Ruzi began to understand why Emperor Cheng gave up revenge on the opponents of the crown prince's period, without the assistance of these ministers, it would be extremely difficult to govern the world, just remembering countless place names and personal names, it would consume a lot of energy for the emperor.

If he can get the support of these people, he will definitely be able to fight the queen mother, Han Ruzi's confidence gradually increased, and he desperately hoped that the contact person Luo Huanzhang said would appear soon.

After proving his ability to govern the country, the official Shangshu once again showed his flattering talent, dancing in the palace, shouting long live, and then said: "This is the protection of the heavens, Your Majesty's wedding is imminent, and the rebels are crushed for thousands of miles. ”

These words are for the Queen Mother, Han Ruzi is expressionless, he may have to marry the queen against his will, but he will never give birth to a prince under the control of the queen mother, no matter who is the queen, it is useless.

The afternoon martial arts were canceled on the grounds that the emperor needed to rest and prepare for the big wedding.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, it is different from ascending the throne, this time the protagonist is the queen, and the daughter of the Cui family has long been trained by the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and female officials in the palace to ensure that every step does not make a mistake when marrying into the palace.

Han Ruzi returned to Cining Palace, anxiously waiting for the contact, seeing that everyone was suspicious, even Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e, who served him, occasionally seemed to have some secrets hidden in their eyes.

It is also good not to practice martial arts, Han Ruzi's stomach hurt again in the afternoon, this time he was prepared, he didn't show too obvious pain, and he ran the reverse breathing method silently, and he didn't dare to have any distracting thoughts.

In the evening, the imperial concubine brought the king of the East China Sea to dinner.

The imperial concubine sat opposite, smiling and watching the two eat, and did not move her chopsticks.

The king of the East China Sea looked depressed, and as soon as he came in, he kowtowed to the emperor to admit his mistakes, and said that he would change his ways.

What could the emperor do? This is his younger brother, the closest relative, will not turn against each other for a trivial matter, Han Ruzi forgave the king of the East China Sea and invited him to dine at the same table, under the gaze of the imperial concubine, the two brothers were reconciled as before.

The king of the East China Sea had just made a fool of himself in front of many noble children, and his appetite was greatly reduced, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks after only a few bites, and served dishes to the emperor instead of the waiter, so that everyone was confused, and seeing that the imperial concubine did not stop it, but nodded slightly, the eunuchs and palace maids were relieved.

"This dish is stir-fried lotus root, which is said to be able to ventilate and reduce heat, nourish the stomach and calm the nerves, Your Majesty should eat more." The King of the East Sea was full of enthusiasm, and he was a little coquettish, but when he put the dishes on several tables and turned his back to everyone, his face sank, and he showed a threatening look to the emperor, and as soon as he turned around, he happily went to serve another dish.

Han Ruzi didn't feel terrible, he only felt ridiculous, and his heart was not on the king of the East China Sea, so he didn't see it, he ate normally, and then put down the chopsticks, indicating that the meal was over.

The eunuchs and palace maids were busy, and Han Ruzi saw the shadow of "convention" again, but this routine had many benefits, and no emperor wanted to change it.

Thinking of "convention", Han Ruzi looked at the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine was also looking at him with a smile.

The emperor smiled back, he was not afraid of the imperial concubine, the king of the East China Sea was ambitious, backed by the powerful Cui family, this was his advantage, but also his weakness, it was easy to be coerced by the queen mother and the imperial concubine, and he had to do things against his will, Han Ruzi had nothing, but there were very few places to be coerced.

The attendants retreated, the king of the East China Sea also retired, the imperial concubine stood up, did not leave immediately, walked slowly, seemed to check whether the emperor was comfortable, and when there were no outsiders at all, she stopped, turned her head and said to the emperor: "Is it true that Luo Huanzhang claimed that His Majesty is ready?" ”

Han Ruzi was taken aback, stood up suddenly, his breath was not smooth, and his abdomen began to ache again, "You...... How could it be you? ”

The smile on the imperial concubine's face slowly disappeared, "If you understand what kind of person the queen mother is, you will understand my choice." ”
