The emperor suddenly spoke, which surprised everyone more than Liu Jie, who was dragged away by the soldiers, and Yang Feng turned around suddenly, it was too late to stop it.

Han Ruzi didn't want to sit on the sidelines anymore, he knew that he was just a puppet, powerless and powerless, and no one would listen to what he said, but he still had to say something for Liu Jie, because this eunuch had publicly given him a treasure seal, even if it was a play, it should have a beginning and an end.

"I ...... I want to know who the assassin is and why he committed the assassination, Liu Zhangxi is a minister in the palace, so let's interrogate him here, ministers...... Also qualified to know the truth. ”

There was a dark tide in the room for a while, with dodgy eyes, rippling clothes, and mouths that wanted to speak...... Han Ruzi was both nervous and funny, and after waiting for a while and no one responded, he sat down and lowered his gaze, "Of course, it's just me...... It's just my shallow opinion......"

Zuo Ji, who was guarding the door of the warm pavilion, listened to the door for a while, and said loudly: "The queen mother has a will, what the emperor said is very true, so I will interrogate Liu Jie here immediately, and be sure to find out the facts." ”

As soon as the Empress Dowager spoke, no one objected, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Shangguan called in a scribe to read the confessions of the assassin's accomplices.

The scribe from the Southern Army, who had never expected to speak in front of the emperor and many ministers one day, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, his voice trembling all the time, as if he were his accomplice to the assassins, a "rebel...... Shen Sanhua, 40 ...... Forty-three years old, a person from Linzi in Qi State, with a height of ......"

Shangguan Xuan was impatient, "Omit these, and directly say the content of the confession." ”

"Yes, yes." The scribe swiped his fingers across a few lines and continued: "The rebel Shen Sanhua said, 'In the summer of the thirty-fifth year of Emperor Wu's reign, Qiu Jizu entered the palace and gave me five taels of silver, begging me to take care of it'-Your Majesty, my lords, Qiu Jizu is the name of the assassin-' Since then, Qiu Jizu has given gifts from time to time, and in ten years, he has accumulated more than 340 taels of silver. On the fifteenth day of this month, Qiu Jizu said to me, said to me, ......'"

"Don't be vague, what to say." Shangguan Xuan encouraged.

"Huh? My lord, it was the rebel Shen Sanhua who said 'say 'say to me' twice. The scribe was too nervous, and indeed "what to say".

Shangguan blushed, saluted the emperor and the imperial concubine, and said, "The confession is cumbersome, please choose a brief one." ”

The imperial concubine agreed, "Please ask Prime Minister Yin to read the confession." ”

Yin Wuwu trembled and took the confession, flipped through it one by one in front of him, his movements were stiff, but he saw it quickly, and it didn't take long to read more than ten pages of confessions, his face changed greatly, he raised his head, looked around, and finally looked at the imperial concubine, and said in a straight voice: "The assassin Qiu Jizu claimed to Shen Sanhua that he was lurking in the palace on the order of the King of Qi, and for ten years now, the bribes of gold and silver were all funded by the King of Qi, and he received the order a month ago, intending to assassinate the new emperor and disturb the court, so that the King of Qi could take the opportunity to make trouble!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the room was full of alarm, ignoring etiquette, discussing with each other, not leaving the "King of Qi", except for Han Ruzi, and when everyone was a little quieter, he asked: "What does this have to do with Liu Jie, the middle palm seal?" Did he benefit from the Assassins? ”

Prime Minister Yin harmlessly bowed to the emperor, then looked at the eunuch Liu Jie, and said coldly: "Whether Liu Jie has received benefits, there is no confession to corroborate, but Liu Jie made trouble in the Qinzheng Palace yesterday afternoon, and provoked the mother-son relationship between His Majesty and the Queen Mother in front of the minister, and then Qiu Jizu assassinated the second watch at night. ”

Liu Jie's face was pale, he didn't say a word, and many years of experience told him that he could not escape this time, and he raised his head and said: "Qiu Jizu is a miscellaneous servant of the seal Fu Prison, if he is really an assassin, Liu is guilty of not noticing, and he is willing to die." But I have no intention of rebellion, I am loyal and courageous, the sun and the moon can be seen, Your Majesty ......"

Han Ruzi was thinking about how to use his extremely limited power to keep Liu Jie, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and a voice shouted "assassin", the assassin actually appeared in broad daylight, and the ministers were shocked, Shangguan strode out of the door, and issued orders loudly.

The imperial concubine said to Yang Feng: "Take the emperor away." ”

Yang Feng bowed and said yes, grabbed the emperor's wrist, and dragged him into the Xinuan Pavilion, the king of the East China Sea followed and took two steps, stopped again, and found that this was a godsend, and took advantage of the chaos to walk towards his uncle Cui Hong.

There are already two people in the Xinuan Pavilion, one is Meng E, guarding in front of the window, and the other is the ugly palace maid who once protected the imperial concubine in the Taimiao, standing quietly in the corner, like a statue forgotten by the master, the two of them did not bow down when they saw the emperor, and they turned a blind eye to Yang Feng.

"Will Liu Zhangxi be killed?" Han Ruzi asked, when the two palace maids did not exist.

"If Your Majesty comes forward for him again, Liu Jie will definitely die." Yang Feng said solemnly, and he didn't care about the two of them.

The noise outside continued, but Han Ruzi was not worried about the assassin, "I don't think Liu Jie is a bad person, he ......"

Yang Feng interrupted the emperor's words, and his voice became more severe, "I said that people who need Your Majesty's protection are not worthy of protection, if Your Majesty wants to be rash and act recklessly, you don't need to ask my opinion, if Your Majesty has a long-term plan, you need to use long-term people." Liu Jie is alone to protect the seal, he can be described as a warrior, but he is not the person His Majesty needs at the moment. ”

Han Ruzi was speechless for a while, and only after a while did he say, "Do I still have a chance to use a warrior like Liu Jie?" ”

"Don't ask anyone for promises." Yang Feng's tone softened slightly, "What Your Majesty has to do is to wait quietly, if the opportunity does not come, no one can help Your Majesty, when the opportunity comes, Your Majesty must be able to seize it." ”

Han Ruzi turned his head to look at Meng E, "Same as her?" ”

Meng E is good at waiting, indifferent to all the disturbances around her.

Yang Feng nodded, and was about to turn around and go out, when Han Ruzi stopped him, "Wait, tell me the truth." ”

"Your Majesty, may I ask."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, every word he said here would definitely reach the ears of the Queen Mother, but he had to ask, "Is there really an assassin?" Is King Qi really going to rebel? ”

"If Your Majesty wants the truth, it is useless to ask me, I know no more than anyone else, Your Majesty might as well think more about other things. If there is a fire in the neighborhood, if you have the ability, you can carry a bucket to save it, and if you don't have the ability, you can take care of your own home, or fish in troubled waters, which is also a choice. Yang Feng paused, "It is precisely because of King Qi that Your Majesty can successfully ascend the throne." ”

Han Ruzi's eyes widened, not understanding what Yang Feng meant.

"When the first emperor died, His Majesty and the king of the East China Sea are likely to succeed to the throne, and there was no conclusion for several days, I went to see the then Southern Army Grand Sima Cui Hong, and told him that it was rumored that the King of Qi was recruiting troops and horses, and he wanted to start an incident in the name of Kuangfu clan and cutting off foreign relatives. Cui Hong was therefore willing to hand over the seal ribbon and give up the position of the Great Sima of the Southern Army to Shangguan Xu, and the Queen Mother had the help of her brother before deciding to elect His Majesty as the emperor. ”

The transaction between the Cui family and the Queen Mother must be more than this, Han Ruzi didn't ask any more, he understood one thing, Yang Feng is a fisher in troubled waters, and now it's time for muddy waters, "Yang Changshi, forgive me, I won't be confused anymore." ”

The emperor showed a rare self-knowledge of a teenager of the same age, and it was this that Yang Feng appreciated, "Now is not the time for Your Majesty to show your strength, let me open the way for Your Majesty first." ”

Han Ruzi snorted, vaguely feeling that the two had reached a deal.

Yang Feng is like a busy broker, swimming between different forces to help all parties reach a compromise, Han Ruzi is a little puzzled, Yang Feng spares no effort to wade through troubled waters, what kind of fish do you want to touch?

The door opened, and the King of the East China Sea walked in with a reluctant face, "The assassin committed suicide, it's really good, there is no proof of death...... Seeing Meng E and another palace maid, he hurriedly shut up.

"Your Majesty, please listen more and talk less." After saying this, Yang Feng returned to the noisy crowd, the emperor needed to wait for the opportunity, but he had to plunge headlong into the whirlpool.

"Yang Feng is so bold, he actually dares to speak to the emperor in a tone of lesson, and you are not angry?" In contrast, the tone of the King of the East China Sea was even more disrespectful, "There is nothing good to hear, anyway, the King of Qi is not a good person, and it is definitely not unjust to put the charge of assassination and rebellion on his head, now it depends on whether he dares to send troops to make trouble." There was really chaos in the palace, the assassin was very powerful, he killed seven guards and passed through three palace gates before committing suicide, and he lurked in the palace for a whole ten years! During this period, three emperors died...... Hey, good luck. ”

found that the Queen Mother did not specifically target the Cui family, and the King of the East China Sea was much more relaxed.

Han Ruzi didn't squeak, he was really listening, listening to the voice outside, he understood the meaning of Yang Feng's last instruction: the time may never come, if it really comes, he has to ensure that he is a qualified emperor, from now on, he has to use every opportunity to learn the art of the emperor.

Assassination, rebellion, clan, relatives, ministers...... Da Chu is facing a huge crisis, and the chaos in the outside world is an excellent material for him to study.

Several ministers were acting, Han Ruzi heard it, their panic and righteous indignation were all evading responsibility, waiting for others to make decisions, and acting on their own, while Jing Yao and other eunuchs were bluffing, never leaving the Queen Mother, desperately trying to prove that they were the most trustworthy people, and had nothing to do with the assassin and Liu Jie.

Han Ruzi suddenly realized that the people he needed to pay attention to the most were not the ministers and eunuchs, but the empress dowager in the warm pavilion opposite...... There wasn't much she could do.

What would you do if you were to do it yourself? Han Ruzi listened and thought about it, and found that it was really difficult.

The king of the East China Sea has already found a place to sit down, in his opinion, things are very simple, "I really don't understand what they are fighting for, sending a general to lead an army of 100,000 is enough to pacify the Qi country, the king of Qi's assassination plan failed, I guess he didn't dare to make trouble at all, and it was almost the same to commit suicide and apologize." ”

"How do you know if the general sent is going to attack the Qi State or join forces with the King of Qi?" Han Ruzi said what was in his heart.

The King of the East China Sea frowned, "Then send a few more generals to supervise each other, or send an official to Xu, he is the queen mother's own brother, he should always be trustworthy, but it's a pity that he is a fake general and can't fight at all." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, the Queen Mother would not send her brother, let alone send a group of suspicious generals casually.

The room suddenly fell silent, and a strange woman's voice said, "Just based on one-sided words, it is not certain that King Qi is rebelling." Cui Taifu has ruled the army for many years, and he is a good general of the country, so he asked Cui Taifu to lead the army and go to Qi to find out the truth. ”

The King of the East China Sea jumped up from his chair and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother actually sent my uncle to fight Qi, what did she, what did she think?" ”

Han Ruzi suddenly understood the queen mother's intentions.
