For three days, the emperor feasted hundreds of clan children, and he entrusted the king to the king of the East China Sea, which was shown as a gesture of goodwill, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more warm day by day, and the descendants of the Han family finally had a sense of closeness to the emperor, and felt that the Great Chu country belonged to the Han family again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the banquet on the last day, Han Ruzi went to see the Queen Mother, he drank a few glasses of real wine this time, his face was flushed, his smile was more casual than usual, and he even greeted several eunuchs and palace maids who were not very familiar with him, asking for names, which surprised and delighted them.

After asking for peace, the Empress Dowager Cining took her son to her palace, asked the maid to prepare sobering tea, watched him drink it, and then retired from the palace and said to the emperor: "Drinking should be in moderation, so as not to hurt your body." ”

Han Ruzi was not drunk, but he was just happier, I really wanted to ask, his mother asked him to temper his drinking, but asked him to "work hard" on the concubine in the palace, isn't he worried that the latter will be more "hurt"?

But he couldn't help it, and just smiled, proving that he did stay awake, "Mother rest assured, with Liu Jie by his side, he won't let me drink too much." ”

Zhang Youcai is now concentrating on serving Tong Qing'e, and Liu Jie, the central eunuch, is not at ease with other eunuchs, so he personally serves the emperor, he is a strict person who abides by the rules, and will never indulge the emperor in doing things excessively.

Empress Dowager Cining nodded, "That's good." ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother was still not particularly happy, Han Ruzi understood what was going on, "Mother, I have passed the decree, the day after tomorrow in Lingyun Pavilion to feast my grandfather and several uncles, does my mother want to feast my uncle's daughters in the palace?" ”

Empress Dowager Cining finally smiled, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, I don't think Your Majesty is biased, Your Majesty is a descendant of the Han family, of course you have to value the clan, it's just ...... It's just that...... The clan had never valued His Majesty before, whether it was our two sons living together, or in the first two years after His Majesty ascended the throne, and even during the regaining of the throne, they did not show up. ”

Han Ruzi said softly: "I understand that revenge cannot be used to govern the world, the clan directly controls the three divisions of the Great Chu, although I have not spoken out, but keeping silent is also a kind of support, I need more support." ”

Empress Dowager Cining looked at her son and sighed: "Your Majesty has really grown up, thinks far-reaching, and is much stronger than me, an old woman, Your Majesty knows what you are doing, but you must beware of the second Han Chou." ”

"I'll be careful."

Han Ruzi said goodbye, took a look at Tong Qing'e, and then went back to the dormitory to rest.

Seeing the emperor's slightly drunk face, the empress smiled slightly, "Has Your Majesty discovered another talent?" ”

Han Ruzi couldn't help laughing, or the queen knew him better, "The people I saw two days ago were all nobles of the clan, and they were old-fashioned, and today's banquet was for the young children of the clan, either literary or martial, all of whom were good at it, I chatted with them for a while, and I felt that several of them were really good, and they could be ministers of the humerus." ”

Cui Xiaojun didn't need a palace maid, he personally helped the emperor change his clothes, and said with a smile: "There are so many descendants of the Han family, how can there not be a few available people?" I'm just wondering, both from the clan and talented, why didn't it show up before? ”

Han Ruzi sat on the edge of the bed, held the queen's hand, and said: "That's true, whenever the imperial court needs to employ people, the military department and the official department rarely recommend the children of the clan. ”

"The emperor's surname is Han, and the children of the clan are also surnamed Han, what trouble can there be?"

"Just because they have the same surname, they are very good at fighting, and most of the ministers in the DPRK and China are foreign surnames, and they don't want to participate in it, anyway, the children of the clan have already occupied many official positions by hereditary inheritance, so there is no need to recommend them again. So there is such a situation: there are many officials in the clan, but most of them inherit Zu'en, and they only want to keep this grace, and they have no intention of making progress, and those who are really talented and capable have no way to rise. ”

"It's so hard to choose people." Cui Xiaojun said with emotion.

"Here's the difficulty, but so is the fun." Han Ruzi was in a good mood and quickly kissed the queen on the face.

Cui Xiaojun blushed with shame, "Old husband and wife, Your Majesty is not stable." ”

"Old husband and wife? Haha, we're old husbands and wives. "Han Ruzi is even more interesting.

Two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor and Empress Dowager Cining hosted a banquet for the foreign relatives of the royal family, although Han Xiaozi had the intention to raise the uncle's family, but some rules could not be broken, the main hall could only be used to entertain the children of the clan, and no matter how noble the foreign relatives were, they could only be entertained in the form of private banquets.

Lingyun Pavilion is the place where the emperor usually deals with government affairs, and the banquet of the Wang family here is considered to be a very high standard, the Empress Dowager Cining is very satisfied, and she gathers with the daughters of the Wang family in another uninhabited dormitory, the queen and the concubines participate, and the Empress Dowager Shangguan calls herself sick as usual, and does not disturb the excitement of others.

Because it was a family banquet for relatives, the emperor specially asked the officials of Zongzheng Mansion and the Ministry of Rites not to be present, the Wang family were all rural farmers, and there were too many officials, and they were even more uncomfortable.

The Wang family has been in Beijing for a while, and they are still in the clouds, and the old man often wakes up in the middle of the night, calls several sons in, and asks: "I dreamed that your sister became the queen mother and your grandson became the emperor, is it true?" ”

The children and grandchildren took turns to confirm that they would show him a new house, a new bed, and a new cupboard, but in fact, they couldn't believe that this happy event had fallen from the sky, and they often asked each other for verification.

In front of the emperor and the queen mother, this is all a joke.

Compared with the clan, the population of the Wang family is not large, and the grandfather, three uncles, five cousins, two young nephews, plus a few relatives who are a little farther away, are also quite lively in the Lingyun Pavilion.

There are many people in the clan, it is possible to hide the dragon and crouching tiger, the men of the Wang family are clear at a glance, most of them are honest, there are no people who learn literature and martial arts, Han Ruzi does not need to observe and figure out one by one, so he is more relaxed, personally toasted his grandfather, and also drank a few glasses of wine toasted by others, and listened to everyone talk about some small things in the township, which is also quite interesting.

The atmosphere was harmonious, until an uncle had drunk a little too much, and there was no official supervision on the scene, he became bold, regardless of the obstruction of others, stood up, held the wine glass in one hand, and carried the wine jug in the other, and staggered to the emperor.

The ceremonial official is not there, the eunuch is still there, Liu Jie gave a look, and immediately two eunuchs stopped the toaster ten steps away, this is the rule, except for the grandfather of the Wang family, no one else can cross this line.

The uncle fought for a while, but failed to break through the line, so he had to stay where he was, raised his glass and said loudly: "I'll give your majesty a drink!" ”

Han Ruzi smiled and raised his glass, and put it to his lips for a while.

Liu Jie personally poured wine for the emperor, and he was just making a show a few glasses before, and nothing was poured out, and everyone was far away, and they couldn't see it clearly, and they didn't dare to look at it more.

The uncle craned his neck to stare at the emperor, "Is there wine in Your Majesty's cup?" Don't fool us. ”

A eunuch whispered: "Don't be presumptuous. ”

"It's all really relatives,...... uncle said with his tongue open, but without dwelling, he drank all the wine in his cup and poured himself another glass, "Your Majesty has one cup, and I have three glasses." ”

After three glasses of wine, my uncle was even more drunk, and the two eunuchs wanted to push him back, but he didn't move, and said louder: "Your Majesty, we have been in Beijing for many days, when will we be officials?" Sitting in the house every day, my hands and feet are weak and my heart is panicked. Your Majesty, don't think that we can only take pickaxes, we can also guard the country for Your Majesty......"

Several uncles of the Wang family couldn't stand it, so they stepped forward and dragged him back, he was not convinced, and the grandfather of the Wang family was angry and asked his children and grandchildren to drag him out, and then came to apologize to the emperor in person.

Han Ruzi got up to greet him and said with a smile: "My own family, even if there is rudeness, it doesn't matter, outsiders are safe." ”

Han Ruzi ushered in a new round of flattery, in the eyes of the Wang family, he is the only benevolent emperor in the past, I really don't understand how anyone would want to assassinate?

The eunuch in the palace sent a message, saying that the Empress Dowager Cining had finished the banquet and was playing around in the palace, so Han Ruzi excused himself from the banquet under the pretext that he was too strong to drink, and asked his grandfather and others not to be formal, they must have fun, and they can go to the imperial garden after drinking.

There was still a period of time after leaving the black, Han Ruzi didn't need to criticize the chapter, didn't need to go to the Qinzheng Palace, didn't need to see the Queen Mother, and suddenly became idle, the queen and others were accompanying the Queen Mother, and there were not many people in the palace, he lay down for a while, couldn't sleep, sat up and felt bored, and said to himself: "You are really working hard." ”

But he likes to toil, he likes to have something to do, and he prefers to see things go according to plan.

Han Ruzi walked out of the room and found that Liu Jie was not there, and the central eunuch thought that the emperor had rested and was busy with other things, and near the end of the year, there were a lot of chores in the palace.

This is an opportunity and a foreshadowing, Han Ruzi made up his mind and said to a eunuch: "Go and pass on the deputy commander Wang He, and ask him to bring some guards to ride horses in Penglai Gate to wait for the order, you go now, run, you are not allowed to stop half a step on the road, and you are not allowed to speak to others." ”

The eunuch nodded vigorously, turned around and ran.

There were seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids in the room, and Han Ruzi only looked at one person, "Go." ”

Meng E followed.

The emperor seemed to be going to travel, but he didn't say where to go, the palace people panicked, and several eunuchs also followed, and the palace maids were stunned for a while, and finally remembered to go to the Empress Dowager Cining.

Han Ruzi knew that her mother would soon learn the news, so her steps were extremely fast, except for Meng E, the other eunuchs were panting and could barely keep up.

Inside the Penglai Gate, Wang He was already guarding there, and in his hurry, he still recruited dozens of guards and hundreds of guards.

"Open the door." Han Ruzi ordered.

"Where is Your Majesty going?" Wang He was not as obedient as usual.

"Let's talk about it when we get out of the palace."

"But...... But the grooming is not complete, and the streets are not yet quiet......"

"It's enough to have you, Wang He, Hugh asks more questions, and does what you do."

Wang He didn't dare to say any more, so he had to order the door to be opened, Han Ruzi had already mounted his horse, and looked back, a large group of eunuchs were running under the leadership of Liu Jie, shouting loudly, at this time the palace door was only halfway open, he patted the horse, and rushed out first, and the guards and guards hurriedly followed, and after running out of a street, the team became neat.

"Your Majesty has to point me in the right direction." Wang He caught up and had to ask.

You are the emperor and have the great Chu rivers and mountains, but Han Ruzi found that he actually had nowhere to go.

"Furi." He said that this is just the beginning, and he doesn't need to be too aggressive, he wants to explore the world little by little. (To be continued.) )
