Han Ruzi had been prepared, but he was still taken aback by Wang Jianhuo's ugliness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ugly king is very tall, with broad shoulders, two long arms, almost no neck, and a huge head directly on top of it, and that face is especially terrifying, half of it is normal, it is not ugly, it is not handsome, no one will notice it anyway, and the other half of the face has a large wart, which falls to the shoulders, and half of the face is tilted because of this, as if it is melting.

Han Ruzi has seen many vicious-looking people, and Wang Jianhuo in front of him is simply ugly and does not look like a human, like a ghost who jumped out of a shoddy picture album.

Wang Jianhuo was accustomed to this kind of gaze, and said again, "Your Majesty has three difficult things in his heart, but there is a solution?" ”

Liu Jie, the central supervisor, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who followed up kept coughing and motioned for the ugly king to kneel, but Wang Jianhuo stood more straight.

Han Ruzi came back to his senses, did not force Wang Jianhuo to kneel, and said, "Then please take a moment and guess what three difficult things I have in my heart?" ”

"The first thing, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the fly in the ointment is that the whereabouts of the treasure seal are unknown, if it falls into the hands of traitors, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Hmm." Han Ruzi didn't think it was strange, the disappearance of Baoxi had already been spread, and even ordinary people could guess that this was a "difficult thing".

"The second thing is that the displaced people are all over the world, and they will pass away this spring, if they cannot persuade them to return to farming in time, the harvest will be insufficient this autumn, and the number of displaced people will multiply, and it will eventually become a big disaster."

This second "difficult thing" is not difficult to guess, Han Ruzi nodded.

"Third, hundreds of thousands of Huns are eyeing the north, and they may invade at any time."

Soon after Han Ruzi regained the throne, he sent Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan, to the Broken Iron City, and Wang Jianhuo guessed that the emperor was worried about the northern frontier, which was also reasonable.

There are not only these three "difficult things" in Han Ruzi's heart, but Wang Jianhuo did guess the three biggest ones.

The ugly king came to intercede for the Tan family, but he didn't mention half a word about the Tan family, and Han Ruzi didn't mention it, and said along with the other party's words: "These three difficult things, there is a solution to them now?" ”

Wang Jianhuo was not polite, nodded, and spread his arms, like a giant ape making a threatening gesture, and the guards in the tent all reached for the hilt of their knives.

"It's not that hard." Wang Jianhuo slowly lowered his arms, he just used it to accentuate his tone and show his pride.

Han Ruzi didn't squeak, he was used to seeing all kinds of tricks and Confucian arrogance of Qi Seekers, and Wang Jianhuo's ability couldn't impress him.

"The first thing, if the rumors are correct, the treasure seal fell into the hands of the Jianghu people, and it is in Luoyang City. Although the lion and tiger are fierce, they can't catch birds in the air, although the eagle falcon is sharp, but they can't catch the rats in the ground, Your Majesty sits in the world, there is still something beyond their strength, the grass people are not talented, they can be regarded as the best in the 'gopher', just a word from Your Majesty, within three days, I can personally hold the treasure seal in front of Your Majesty. ”

There was more arrogance than humility in his words, and the people in the tent no longer paid attention to his ugliness, but felt that this person was too bold to even want his life.

Han Ruzi was still not angry, he knew that "Long Yan was angry" was in the hands of these heroes, so he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and showed that he didn't care about Bao Xi, "continued. ”

"The second thing, the displaced people are all over the world, and relying only on the grain in the official warehouse is far from enough to provide relief, and the grass people have more friends, and they are willing to call on their friends to open private warehouses to release grain to make up for the lack of the government."

Han Ruzi sighed in his heart, if he even had to help the heroes of the rivers and lakes to open his private warehouse, then he, the emperor, would be no different from the puppet in the past.

"Go on." Han Ruzi still held back.

"The third thing, the Huns are looking at the north, it is easier to solve, Your Majesty only needs to send 100,000 troops, and the grass people recommend ten generals to ensure victory in a hundred battles, while the Huns are still hesitant, they will be repelled for thousands of miles first, so that they will not dare to peep into the border in three or five years."

The general of Da Chu asked a grass man to recommend him, which was not only arrogant, but also publicly ridiculed the court for not knowing people and not knowing how to use people.

Chai Yue, as the introducer in the center, also followed, and kept standing at the door, hanging his head silently, occasionally glancing at Wang Jianhuo, looking very surprised.

"Hey." Han Ruzi couldn't help but sneer.

Wang Jianhuo gave his hand again, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, would you like to make a bet with the grass people?" ”

"How to bet? What to bet on? ”

"Just bet on who can find the treasure seal within three days, if Your Majesty finds it first, or no one finds it, it will be regarded as a loss for the grass people, and the grass people are willing to gamble on a cheap life, three courtyards, and thirty-one family members, or kill or flow, and let Your Majesty distribute it."

"What if you win?"

Wang Jianhuo suddenly knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, "If the grass people win by luck, there is only one wish, I hope Your Majesty will give the Tan family a way to live." ”

Finally speaking of this, Han Ruzi said coldly: "The Tan family has been pardoned, but they are relatives of the king of the East China Sea, so naturally they want to follow the king of the East China Sea to the country, Da Chu does not kill the innocent people, if the Tan family can keep to themselves, no one can kill them." ”

This is both a truth and a lie, the more extensive the Tan family's connections, the more Han Ruzi wants to cut them down, and even Wang Jianhuo has been listed as a person who must be eliminated, and what is missing is just a crime.

Han Ruzi believes that these heroes will not endure for too long, and will soon break the law again.

Wang Jianhuo kowtowed again, got up and said: "Since this is the case, please forgive the grass people for being reckless, and the grass people will retire and edict at any time." ”

Liu Jie and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were very angry when they sent the ugly king out, and kept reprimanding and counting down, how could a person who was obviously very obedient before entering the account change his appearance in front of the emperor? Knowing this, I couldn't let him face the saint no matter what.

Chai Yue was even more ashamed, the ugly king was introduced to the emperor by him, and he must be responsible for it, as soon as Wang Jianhuo left, Chai Yue took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty begs for forgiveness, Wang Jianhuo ......"

"He's not usually that kind of person." Han Ruzi continued to speak for Chai Yue, and then motioned for him to get up.

Chai Yue stood up, his expression even more surprised, "Your Majesty has inquired about the ugly king's personality?" ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, except for Chai Yue, the people around him didn't know much about this ugly king of Luoyang, "I just guessed, Wang Jianhuo has a special appearance, he is not as rich as the Tan family, and he is no more expensive than the Marquis of Junyang. What he is doing here is nothing more than exaggeration. ”

Chai Yue was stunned for a while, "Your Majesty Shengming, if it is not within the reach of the ministers, the Ugly King's agitation method is useless after all." ”

Han Ruzi smiled, even Chai Yue would flatter, it is not surprising, in order to get ahead, Chai Yue has been in the circle of powerful people for many years, and he is familiar with this kind of thing, Han Ruzi is just regretful, if it goes on like this, probably only Yang Feng dares to tell the truth in front of him without scruples.

"Useless? Didn't you hear him make a bet with me? ”

Chai Yue was stunned again, "But Your Majesty...... Not accepted. ”

"Of course, you can't bet directly with the people." Han Ruzi had already given him a lot of face when he met Wang Jianhuo, and if he accepted the bet on the spot, the reputation of the ugly king of Luoyang would be even greater.

"Within three days, the treasure seal must be recovered." Han Ruzi waved his hand to let Chai Yue retreat.

Chai Yue left in a daze, before that, he was loyal to the emperor because only the emperor appreciated him, this is more like a gamble, he won the bet, the future is immeasurable, if it comes to talent, Chai Yue still has a little pride in his heart, but the emperor and the ugly king's "bet" made him completely confused, and then gave birth to a real admiration.

Han Ruzi summoned several people one after another, especially the torturer Zhang Jing, to arrange the search for Baoxi, "Baoxi must be in Luoyang City, there is no need to investigate whether there is anything or not." Give you two days, send the treasure seal to me before noon the day after tomorrow, add an official to the knight, you Zhang Jing is the first criminal officer of Dachu, if you can't find it, your Excellency will be called one of the 'Guanghua Tigers' in vain, go back to your hometown to farm. ”

The rivers and lakes preach morality, there are officials in the imperial court, Zhang Jing kowtows more than once, and he is excited and nervous when he exits the tent, "the first torturer of Da Chu" means too much, and there may be more than the good things he brought about when he participated in the competition for the throne.

There was still a while before noon, Han Ruzi summoned the officials of Henan County, who had been waiting for a long time, and talked about letting the wealthy households in Luoyang open their private warehouses, Han Chou and the others immediately agreed, and they all said that it was not a problem, as if it had been discussed a long time ago, and there was no superfluous nonsense.

In this way, Han Ruzi was uneasy, the local officials' promises were too untrustworthy, but they could not be angry because they agreed too quickly, so they had to set a deadline and ensure that all displaced people could receive relief.

After lunch, Han Ruzi called Liu Zeqin, the head of the household department, to hear his opinion, but what he got was vague, Liu Shilang's only opinion was to observe, thinking that under the personal supervision of the emperor, Henan County did not dare to be perfunctory, and it was likely to successfully complete the task, but ......

Han Ruzi sent Liu Zeqin away, he was already the emperor, but he could not guarantee that his will could be fully implemented.

He summoned Qu Zixi and ten advisers, although the scholar was a little stubborn, after all, he dared to tell a few words of truth.

"The official of Luoyang, arrogance has become a habit, and Emperor He allowed the hereditary throne of Henan Yin, originally to appease the king of Henan, who humbly gave up the throne, but also wanted to use the clan to stabilize the Kanto, which resulted in today's troubles. If Your Majesty wants to eliminate Luoyang's maladministration, you need to use heavy codes. ”

Qu Zixi is honest, does not speak for the officials, and can see clearly, but the suggestions put forward are too intense, among the many problems that Han Ruzi is most eager to solve, Luoyang is not in the forefront, Han Ruzi just wants to find the treasure seal as soon as possible, and settle the displaced people, once he wants to use the "heavy ceremony" in Luoyang, he will delay here not for three or five days, but at least three or five months.

Can we only endure for a while? Han Ruzi was unwilling.

The loach, who had gone out to inquire about the luthier, returned, and waited until the evening when the emperor had served his meal, and then he was given a chance to report the situation.

"Zhang Zhuhe is really a famous luthier in Luoyang, his ancestral home is here, and he has also walked the rivers and lakes to perform everywhere, he returned to his hometown three years ago, and he has never left again, and now he is serving in the Hou Mansion of Heyang, teaching many famous disciples, and it is said that his piano sound can cure diseases."

"Is it so powerful?" Zhang Youcai didn't believe it.

"Everyone says so, I asked four violinists in different shops, and when Zhang Zhuhe was mentioned, they were all full of praise, but unfortunately, he rarely goes out of the Hou Mansion to pluck the piano for people now."

After a busy day, Han Ruzi's interest in the sound of the piano had faded a lot, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The loach finally went out of the door, was very excited, and asked, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to make a bet with the ugly king of Luoyang, is it true?" ”

Han Ruzi raised his eyebrows, and as he expected, Wang Jianhuo also thought that there was a "gamble" between them, "I didn't accept it." What do you say? ”

"I didn't accept it." Loach was disappointed, "I also bet ten taels of silver on Your Majesty, and I have to come back tomorrow." ”

"Bet me ten taels of silver?"

"That's right, they all say that Your Majesty bets on the ugly king, and everyone bets on who wins and who loses, to tell the truth, there are more people in Luoyang City who are optimistic about the ugly king, I bet on Your Majesty to win, and they all laugh at me."

Han Ruzi snorted, knowing that this was still the Ugly King's agitation method, but he was still angry, "Even if the treasure seal is in the hands of the Ugly King at the moment, I will use my own methods to take it back within three days." (To be continued.) )
