Zuo Ji looked at the emperor, smiling, full of confidence, sure that the emperor would definitely give in, he didn't even want to take more measures, just looked at the emperor, as if he was persuading the ignorant child to eat the last few bites of food and not to waste his hard-earned food.

After entering the palace for more than two months, as a puppet, Han Ruzi felt the most loneliness and not being taken seriously, but at this moment, he felt humiliation, which was expected, and the reason why he came a little late was simply because it was not the Queen Mother's top priority.

There were no ministers around, not even eunuchs, and the last veil of the emperor's majesty was torn off, revealing falsehood and powerlessness.

Han Ruzi's heart was turbulent, but he held back, and he didn't even forget to quietly run the reverse breathing method, he remained silent, patiently savoring the bitterness in it, looking for all available means of self-preservation, and finally found that the only "weapon" he could use was Zuo Ji himself.

"Is Zuo Gong going to teach me the way of husband and wife in person?"

The smile on Zuo Ji's face disappeared a little, "Of course it's not me, the way of husband and wife is not difficult to learn, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, just let it be." The Queen Mother chose three beauties in the palace ......"

"Three?" The sense of humiliation in Han Ruzi's heart deepened.

Zuo Ji did not pause, and continued to say: "The phase and the doctor have all seen it, these three people have gentle personalities and rich bodies, and they will be able to give birth to noble sons in the future. ”

"You and the Queen Mother don't have to worry about it."

The last smile on Zuo Ji's face also disappeared, "It's useless to talk more, please go to bed Your Majesty and enjoy the boundless pleasure, Your Majesty will eat the marrow tonight, I'm afraid that in the future, I will think that the three beauties are too few." Please rest assured, Your Majesty, that I will be outside the door with the living order, recording the events of tonight, and keeping evidence for the future. ”

Han Ruzi didn't understand the eunuch's words too much, but the disgust in his heart arose spontaneously, and he took two steps forward and said, "How old is Zuo Gong?" Less than thirty. ”

Zuo Ji was slightly stunned, "Twenty-five." ”

"Has Zuo Gong been cleansing since he was a child?"

"Your Majesty is asking what this is for?" Zuo Ji's face was a little ugly.

"I heard that eunuchs can't do the way of husband and wife, Zuo Gong said it so well, I want to know if it's the feelings of the people who came over, or hearsay?"

Zuo Ji's face flushed, and he took a step forward, walking close to the emperor, "Is Your Majesty playing tricks on me?" ”

Zuo Ji couldn't hold his breath, he was easily provoked, Han Ruzi planned to take advantage of his weakness, as for the consequences, he didn't expect it, and he didn't want to think about it, anyway, he would rather make a big fuss than surrender.

"How dare you, I still rely on Zuo Gong's care, but I can't help but be a little nervous, so I want to ask a little clearly."

Zuo Ji was confused, he couldn't figure out whether the emperor's attitude towards knowledge was true or false, and his face softened slightly, "I was purified at the age of sixteen, and I have never heard of some things, Your Majesty don't be nervous, I'll call the palace maid in." ”

"Wait." Han Ruzi was thinking about how to make Zuo Ji immediately furious, "There is one more thing, one last thing. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The wound on the hand of the Queen Mother...... Did you get it? Han Ruzi really didn't have anything to say, so he threw this sentence out without thinking about it.

The effect was immediate, Zuo Ji's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "How do you know...... Who do you listen to......"

Zuo Ji turned around and ran outside, so flustered that he almost fell at the door.

The room was quiet, Han Ruzi returned to the bed and sat down, thinking that he had really caused a big disaster this time, but this is what will happen sooner or later, the Queen Mother has never regarded him as a real emperor, once there is a new puppet, he will be abandoned, rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to make a scene.

But he was still a little frightened, his heart fluctuated, he forgot the method of reverse breathing, remembered his mother who he hadn't seen for a long time, remembered Yang Feng who was thousands of miles away, and even remembered the elusive Meng E...... He needed someone to help him so badly.

A figure stepped in softly, standing quietly beside the bed.

Han Ruzi looked up at the little eunuch Zhang Youcai, "Zuo Ji asked you to come and see me?" ”

Zhang Youcai shook his head blankly, "The slave is here to serve His Majesty." ”

Han Ruzi smiled reluctantly, "You shouldn't come in, it will cause you trouble." ”

"Slaves are not afraid, since they have been sent to serve His Majesty, they must do their best."

Is this another loyal eunuch Liu Jie, or a tempter with ulterior motives? Han Ruzi was so tired that he didn't want to think about it anymore, "You go...... Please come to the imperial concubine. ”

Han Ruzi said casually, but Zhang Youcai really took it as a holy decree, said "yes", turned around and left.

The little eunuch probably can't even see the face of the imperial concubine, Han Ruzi doesn't even know what the point of finding the imperial concubine is, she is the sister of the queen mother, and she is in the same group as the queen mother, which is more difficult to deal with than Zuo Ji.

But he did not withdraw the order, and was determined to use all means, so far, what he is fighting for is not whether he can do the way of husband and wife, whether he can give birth to a prince, but whether he can keep the bottom line.

There was a clanging sound outside, and the Imperial Concubine Shangguan really came.

The two palace maids sent the imperial concubine to the chair, and then retreated, and Zhang Youcai did not appear.

"Why is Your Majesty depressed?" The imperial concubine asked.

The two are far apart, the candlelight is dim, and the imperial concubine and the queen mother are more similar.

"Why do you have to choose me as emperor?"

"Your Majesty should know why."

"Because my mother is weak and has no roots, am I better to manipulate?"

"That's part of the reason." The imperial concubine paused, "No matter what outsiders say, the Queen Mother elected Her Majesty for the sake of the Great Chu country, the Cui family has already tilted the power of the government and the opposition, and there is another emperor, and the Han clan is in danger." When Emperor Huan was alive, he wanted to eliminate the Cui family, but unfortunately he never had his hands free. Emperor Si inherited his father's will and had already made a plan, who knows...... So the heavy responsibility fell on the shoulders of the Queen Mother, she had to use some means, and she had to reconcile with the Cui family first, which was all to prepare for the future. ”

"Since the Queen Mother's goal is Cui's, why ...... Why are you in a hurry to let me go the way of husband and wife and give birth to a prince? ”

The imperial concubine showed a hint of a smile, and immediately became serious again, "Your Majesty has no children for a day, and the King of the East China Sea is qualified to succeed Your Majesty, and the ambition of the Cui family will not disappear." Your Majesty is worried about your own safety, although Your Majesty can rest assured, after having the crown prince, Your Majesty's position will only be more stable. ”

The imperial concubine's words were more convincing than Zuo Ji, but Han Ruzi still felt that something was wrong, and she didn't speak for a long time.

"But the Queen Mother is also a little anxious, Your Majesty is still young after all, how can this kind of thing be forced? I will talk to the Queen Mother and persuade her not to be too anxious, the coming day will be long, the King of the East China Sea is in the palace, the Cui family does not dare to be arrogant for a while, and it is not too late to deal with the Cui family when His Majesty can personally handle government affairs. ”

The matter was actually negotiated, and while Han Ruzi was relaxed, he also felt puzzled, could it be that he misunderstood the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine? Could it be that Yang Feng has been exaggerating all along?

"You won't push me ...... again"

"The Queen Mother is reasonable, she will listen to my persuasion, and the palace maid will stay, but she will not have any rudeness to Your Majesty." The imperial concubine smiled, obviously thinking that such a thing was a bit ridiculous.

Han Ruzi was finally relieved, "I asked Zuo Ji about the injury on the Queen Mother's hand, which may have offended the Queen Mother." ”

"The emperor will not offend anyone, and the queen mother is not so easy to offend." The imperial concubine got up and was ready to leave, "Your Majesty will work hard, and there will be a day when you will be pro-government." ”

Han Ruzi didn't know what to say, "Thank you......"

The imperial concubine smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't have to thank me, everything the Queen Mother does is for the sake of the Great Chu Jiangshan, and sooner or later this country will be handed over to Your Majesty." ”

The imperial concubine is gone, leaving Han Ruzi alone and at a loss, this difficulty seems to be too easy, in this case, why did the queen mother send Zuo Ji before?

Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e came in to serve the emperor and rest, and the night was peaceful.

Han Ruzi fell asleep late, had many strange dreams, and when she got up in the morning, her mind was full of sauce, but she suddenly figured out one thing: the imperial concubine answered many questions, but she just passed by the issue of the queen mother's hand injury, no, she didn't even mention it.

That morning, in the Qinzheng Palace, Han Ruzi understood why the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine made concessions to him.

The war in the Kwantung region was undecided, and most of the imperial court's energy was spent on dispatching troops, but there were some people who were not affected by the general situation, kept their duty, and kept an eye on the smallest details like a watchdog.

Prime Minister Yin Wuwu deliberately waited until the emperor arrived, then picked up a piece of music, sighed, ordered someone to send it to the Tingzheng Pavilion to hand it over to the Queen Mother, and then said to his colleagues: "The ninth seal, the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Taixue, and Guozijian have all written books, and now even the Yushitai has sent a chapter." ”

"What does this have to do with the Imperial Tower? Whoever is so bold will first be guilty of dereliction of duty. An official said.

Yin Wuwu shook his head, "There are a lot of madmen in Yushitai, if you participate in one, there will be ten of them, so it's better to be cautious." ”

Han Ruzi sat there quietly as usual, not understanding what the ministers were saying, and soon, the concubine of the Shangguan Emperor came out of the warm pavilion and spoke on behalf of the queen mother, solving the doubts in the emperor's heart.

"It's just that the name of the first emperor is continued, why are so many ministers opposed?" The imperial concubine shook the chapter in her hand, "According to what is said here, not changing the era name will cause yin and yang to be out of balance and shake up and down, which is even greater than the threat of King Qi's rebellion." ”

Several ministers involved in politics looked at the prime minister.

Yin was helpless, so he had to step forward and say: "The rules set by the ancestors, as a courtier, dare not change them at will, the new emperor's new year name has always been like this, the old era name will be extended for a year at most, and it will not be suitable for a long time." If one rule is changed today, other rules can be changed in the future, and the foundation of the imperial court ......"

The imperial concubine shook her head, "There are so many rules, what if you change one or two?" Could it be that Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan have never changed the rules? I won't argue with you, the era name belongs to the emperor, so let Your Majesty decide for yourself. ”

Yin Wuwu showed an obvious expression of surprise on his face, and it was originally one of his strategies to propose the era name in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect the imperial concubine to take the initiative to ask the emperor to decide.

Han Ruzi was not surprised at all, and finally understood why the Queen Mother would let herself go, the only thing she didn't understand was: Is it so important to change the year name or not, so that the minister and the Queen Mother are opposed?

Either way, he knew his answer was important, important enough to be traded.
