Chapter 37: Turning the Window

It took another two days for Han Ruzi to find a chance to talk to the imperial concubine alone.

Nominally, the head of the inner palace is the queen, but Cui Xiaojun is also as nominal as the emperor, all power is in the hands of the queen mother, when the queen mother is busy competing with the ministers for power, the inner palace will be handed over to the imperial concubine management.

The imperial concubine came to the Tai'an Palace where the emperor lived every day to inspect it, but it was not easy to retreat from many entourages, so there had to be a reason.

The Queen Mother is the only reason.

"The little queen is angry, the queen mother is a little worried that you will fall to the Cui family." In the evening of that day, the imperial concubine was finally able to retire the eunuchs and palace maids without suspicion.

"With the King of the East China Sea here, how could I ...... Oh, this is also one of the reasons why the Queen Mother left the King of the East China Sea behind. Han Ruzi understood that the King of the East China Sea was almost the natural barrier of the Cui family, and always reminded Han Ruzi that it was impossible for the Cui family to accept other emperors.

"The Queen Mother is just a little worried, I believe that Your Majesty will not fall to the Cui family, the Cui family is too powerful, the government and the opposition are watching, and it is also the piece that the Queen Mother is watching the most."

"I didn't even think about it. Even if I were willing, the Cui family would not be willing. "Han Ruzi really didn't want to seek the support of the Cui family, "What's the matter with Luo Huanzhang, he is the master of the King of the East China Sea, he should be regarded as a member of the Cui family, right?" ”

"Mr. Luo is not only a member of the Cui Mansion, but also a famous Confucian in the East China Sea, and has taught many disciples, including the Queen Mother and me."

When Emperor Huan was still the king of the East China Sea, he vigorously promoted benevolence and righteousness to govern the country, in order to set an example, he invited well-known Confucian students in the country to enter the palace to educate the harem, the time was not long, the curtain was taught, and the gentleman and the disciples only heard their voices and did not see each other, among the many famous teachers, Luo Huanzhang left the deepest impression on the people in the house.

Luo Huanzhang doesn't want to be an official, but he likes to teach, basically he doesn't refuse to come, from the princely generals to the peddlers and pawns, there are his disciples, and he travels all over the world, many friends and even enemies of the Cui family, he never shy away from it, but openly communicates, the Cui family fights for fame, but has to be careful to wait for this teaching gentleman.

There are many former disciples of Mr. Luo, and most of them are orthodox royalists - no matter who the emperor is, as long as he officially ascends the throne, it is the target of their protection, and when they want to get in touch with the emperor in the deep palace, they naturally think of Luo Huanzhang, who is teaching national history.

Luo Huanzhang thought of the concubine of Shangguan Huang.

When the imperial concubine was still a good person in the palace of the East China Sea, she was responsible for raising the prince, and she devoted herself to it.

Luo Huanzhang is a busy man, he was traveling in other places at the time, and when he returned to the East China Sea, the palace had invited a master for the prince, but he was willing to change people for Luo Shi at any time.

Even so, Duanliang and the princess of the East China Sea still regarded Luo Huanzhang as the prince's teacher, and the prince wrote to Luo Huanzhang since he was eight years old to ask for advice, no matter where Luo Huanzhang was, he would reply to the letter until the king of the East China Sea was named the crown prince and the prince became the emperor's grandson, Luo Huanzhang broke off contact and no longer replied.

The prince's letter must have revealed some details, Luo Huanzhang guessed the hidden contradictions between the Shangguan sisters very early, probably earlier than the parties noticed, he regarded it as a secret that he should not know, and never revealed it to outsiders, but when he wanted to find a contact in the palace, he immediately thought of the imperial concubine.

Soldiers are dangerous, Luo Huanzhang risked his life with this move, if he guessed wrong before, or the imperial concubine and the queen mother were already in harmony, his temptation was to put a knife on his neck.

He guessed right.

"Master Luo and I don't seek to be prominent, he is benevolent and righteous, I am revenge, Your Majesty can reward those ministers who secretly support you afterwards, as for Master Luo, don't even mention your name."

Recalling Luo Huanzhang's image, Han Ruzi said sincerely: "The king of the East China Sea is really lucky. ”

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "It's the Cui family's luck, at that time Luo Shi was visiting friends in the capital, this friend happened to offend the Cui family, Luo Shi agreed to enter the palace to serve as the West Seat in order to save talents, but he is not from the Cui family, not in the past, and not now, Luo Shi and the disciples he taught have always opposed the interference of relatives in politics." ”

Han Ruzi's trust in his heart increased a little more, and he finally asked the most important thing: "How can I subdue Zuo Ji?" ”

The imperial concubine was silent for a while, "Zuo Ji's matter is too ugly, I don't want to say it, I can only tell Your Majesty: Every morning after sending Your Majesty to Lingyun Pavilion, Zuo Ji will go to the nearby Xianyin Pavilion to rest, if Your Majesty can break in unprepared, there is a chance that he will catch him, just threaten to stab the matter to the Queen Mother, Zuo Ji will be honest and obedient." ”

Han Ruzi scratched his head, there were always things in the palace that "can be done and can't be said", which made him confused, "Zuo Ji's handle doesn't even know the queen mother, how can the imperial concubine know?" ”

The imperial concubine smiled: "Climb high and look far away, but you can't see the scenery under the mountain." The Queen Mother stared at the Cui family, the court, and the King of Qi thousands of miles away, but ignored Zuo Ji beside her. There are a few people who know Zuo Ji's handle besides me, but no one will tell the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother will clean up the informant when she is angry. ”

The smile on the imperial concubine's face disappeared, and as her own sister and the most trusted person, she didn't have much security in front of the queen mother.

The emperor doesn't have to worry about the anger of the Queen Mother, because he is the puppet that the Queen Mother will get rid of sooner or later.

Han Ruzi thought for a moment, "Xianyin Pavilion, as long as I suddenly break in, I can catch the handle?" ”

"I don't guarantee that it will be nine times out of ten, Your Majesty will enter the Lingyun Pavilion for two quarters of an hour and then go to the Xianyin Pavilion, which is most likely to bump into Zuo Ji's ugly thing."

"Ugly thing...... How ugly is it? ”

The imperial concubine smiled and shook her head, there were some things she couldn't say.

The two couldn't talk for too long, and the imperial concubine got up, "I will tell the queen mother that Your Majesty is grateful for the little queen's help, but still has no good impression of the Cui family." ”

"Okay." Han Ruzi began to think about how to break into the Xianyin Pavilion in the middle of the class, although the two places were not far apart, for the emperor, it was tantamount to a thousand-mile attack, the imperial concubine had already walked to the door, and he suddenly remembered that he still had a word to ask: "How do you want to take revenge in the end?" What should the minister do with the Queen Mother? ”

The imperial concubine bowed slightly, "Taking away the power of the Queen Mother is the revenge I want, as for how to deal with it-when Your Majesty is in charge, it will be up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Ten steps away, within a thousand miles is where the imperial power lies, thirteen-year-old Han Ruzi can't help but feel excited, he knows what the first thing he has to do is not to dispose of the Queen Mother, nor to hunt down King Qi, but to take his mother to his side, and also, to release Liu Jie, let him continue to be in charge of the treasure seal, if he is still alive in prison.

When he was sleeping at night, Han Ruzi woke up from his dream several times, thinking that he could hear Meng E's cold voice, but it turned out to be an illusion. He really hoped that Meng E could appear, so that he could learn a few light skills from her, and he imagined that he could fly the eaves and walk the wall in broad daylight and go straight to the Xianyin Pavilion.

I'm afraid that Meng E herself can't do this, she and her brother Meng Che haven't shown up for several days, maybe they were sent by the Queen Mother to carry out a mission.

The imperial concubine pointed out a way, but did not indicate how to bypass the checkpoint, and the emperor had to figure it out himself.

The way will not be said to have it, the next day Han Ruzi was thinking about it all day, but he got nothing, he even wanted the East Sea King to help, and soon gave up this plan, his deal with the East China Sea King was limited to one time, and there must not be a second time.

The emperor's biological mother has not replied yet, and the Huahu King has already found out the address of Wang Meiren, but there is no suitable excuse to visit, so he can only wait for a while.

That night, when the palace maid Tong Qing'e was helping the emperor change his clothes, her palms always couldn't stay, as if she was caressing, no matter how young Han Ruzi was, she understood what this meant, so the little eunuch Zhang Youcai came over to help, and at the same time made up her mind to do it as soon as possible.

He didn't reprimand Tong Qing'e, every movement of the palace maid was so clumsy and blunt, obviously forced to do this kind of thing.

Zuo Ji not only does ugly things himself, but also forces others to be as ugly as him, Han Ruzi vaguely understands what the so-called "ugly things" of the imperial concubine are, and he is disgusted in his heart, but he is more and more determined to clean up Zuo Ji.

The method is like an accidentally lost belonging, thousands of miles to find, eyes swept at random, found that it was just a stone's throw away, Han Ruzi thought for two days and did not come up with a perfect plan, and on the morning of the third day, when he listened to the class, he had an idea and found a way.

The lecture was an old gentleman with profound skills, and it only took a quarter of an hour to talk to the king of the East China Sea and the two eunuchs to a drowsy, Han Ruzi suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, the old gentleman looked at the emperor blankly, and his mouth was still reciting a fragment of the "Book of Music".

Han Ruzi nodded at the old gentleman, pointed to his stomach, and signaled to go to Gong.

The old gentleman did not object, the king of the East China Sea was about to fall asleep lying on the bookcase, but the two eunuchs at the door immediately woke up, Han Ruzi walked straight out, and rubbed his right hand twice on his stomach.

The old eunuch motioned for the young eunuch to follow the emperor, and he stayed behind to continue his nap.

In the next room, the young eunuch brought the bucket, and the emperor untied his little hand, and the method suddenly popped out of his heart, "Hasn't the bucket been emptied?" Why does it taste so big? ”

"Huh?" The young eunuch usually tries not to talk to the emperor, but at this time he is quite frightened, but it is not the emperor who is afraid, "the slave will go to ......"

The eunuch hurried downstairs with the bucket, and the emperor was the only one left in the room.

The rear window is open.

After thinking about it for a while, Han Ruzi might have given up on this idea, but the eunuch would be back soon, and he needed to act immediately.

Lingyun Pavilion has two floors, the lecture is held upstairs, after going out of the window, you can step on the eaves of the first floor, it is quite high from the ground, but there are a few big trees nearby, one of the branches just stretches out to the window, Han Ruzi still didn't think about it, jumped on the branch, grabbed the higher branch, ran close to the trunk of the tree in a few steps, and slowly climbed down, the fallen leaves were scattered, he didn't care, if he was found by the eunuch, it would be a nonsense.

Not far from the ground, Han Ruzi jumped down, his heart was a little relieved, and when he turned around, he found several attendants looking at him with incredulous eyes.

The emperor who climbed the tree through the window, they had never even heard of it, but today they saw it with their own eyes.

No one spoke, no one dared to speak, only the fallen leaves were still falling gently.

"Come with me." Han Ruzi said that if these people did not listen to orders, he could only admit that he had lost miserably.
