Prime Minister Yin Harmless will "enforce the law impartially" to Han Chou, give an explanation to the emperor, and later resign on the grounds of serious illness, in return, the emperor will give him all the preferential treatment that the minister should have, and even establish him in the history books as a virtuous minister against traitorous ministers.

The Empress Dowager Cining didn't particularly understand this, "Shen Mingzhi colluded with the ministers, and Han Chou is the same thing, even if Your Majesty doesn't determine his capital crime, there is no need to compromise, right?" ”

Han Ruzi was sitting precariously, in front of his mother, he couldn't be too casual, and replied: "Shen Mingzhi, as the prime minister, protects the interests of the court, so I give him a chance to keep the rules of the court." The emperor has no selfish enmity, because he is selfless, he can use public weapons. The imperial court is a public instrument, and I appoint the prime minister to deal with the rebels, which is a trust in the public instrument, and the Affirmation will understand. ”

"What if he doesn't understand, but colludes with Han Chou even more?" Empress Dowager Cining asked coldly, feeling that her son was too merciful.

"In that case, I have no choice but to break the rules and eradicate the rebels along with the imperial court, it is difficult to make a public weapon, but it can also be torn down and rebuilt, and Emperor Wu did this." Han Ruzi paused, and added, "I have a northern army." ”

A part of the northern army entered the city, not only guarding the palace, but also supervising the imperial court, Shen Mingzhi saw it with his own eyes, but as long as there was a trace of reason, he would not choose to oppose the emperor again.

Empress Dowager Cining was relieved, but she was still not angry, she hated all those who threatened the emperor's safety, she didn't say anything more, after all, her son has grown up and is a smart emperor, so she doesn't need to dictate everything, so she sighed, "Your Majesty won't go out of the palace at will, right?" ”

"I still have a lot of things to deal with in the Tired Marquis Mansion." Han Ruzi wanted to leave the palace a long time ago, but was blocked in the dormitory by his mother.

"Since Your Majesty wants to act according to the rules of the imperial court, there should be nothing that cannot be handled in the palace." The Empress Dowager Cining approached the emperor and saw that her son's face was still pale and his body was still weak, and she couldn't help but feel heartache, but her tone remained serious, "How many more dangers will Your Majesty experience?" Even if Your Majesty doesn't care for your body, doesn't you take into account the feelings of an old woman like me? There is also a concubine in the palace, so ...... I finally saw the birth of the prince. ”

Han Ruzi smiled helplessly, he had a way to deal with the prime minister, but he couldn't use the same method to deal with his mother, "Okay, since the queen mother insists, I will discuss the matter of leaving the palace after I have fully recovered." ”

The Empress Dowager Cining hoped that the emperor would always live in the palace, but she didn't want to bring it up now, so she nodded, "Even if it was the original Taizu, it was not the Great Chu Jiangshan that was laid down in a day or two, I hope Your Majesty will guard against impatience and concentrate on recuperation." ”

In this way, Han Ruzi failed to leave the palace in time to go to the Tihou Mansion to see Huang Pugong.

But he couldn't be idle, so he still came to Lingyun Pavilion to deal with affairs, summoned Zhao Ruosu, and temporarily appointed him as a special envoy to run between Lingyun Pavilion, Qinzheng Palace, and Zhongshu Province, passing on news and sending a symphony.

The news from outside kept coming, Shen Mingzhi accurately understood the emperor's intentions, and took out the style of being the right patrol of the imperial history, acted resolutely, and immediately sent someone to arrest Han Chou, and asked Jing Yao, who had just been released, to participate in the whole process, so that the emperor could rest assured.

Jin Chunzhong's side was also arresting people, collecting direct evidence of Han Chou's involvement in the assassination in the name of Jingzhao Yinfu and the Criminal Department, and the Holy Army Division and others were all re-interrogated.

The news of the emperor's recovery must be delivered to all parts of the world in time to appease the hearts of the people, and Han Ruzi also wrote several letters in person, respectively to Yang Feng of Yunmengze, Chai Yue outside the Saiwai, Deng Cui of the Western Regions and others, these people were personally selected by the emperor, and they naturally cared more about the emperor's safety than others.

was busy until it was almost dark, and the matter was over, and the Empress Dowager Cining and the Empress kept sending people to visit, euphemistically urging the emperor to rest early.

Han Ruzi decided to see someone again.

Huang Pugong had already arrived in the palace from the Tired Marquis's Mansion, waited for a long time, and was subjected to at least three full-body searches, Rao was so, when he entered the Lingyun Pavilion, he was still accompanied by four guards, and it was stipulated that he was not allowed to enter within ten steps of the emperor.

The whole palace didn't want to risk it again.

In order to keep his distance, Huang Pugong could only kneel at the door to worship the emperor.

Han Ruzi was looking at the information sent by Jing Yao, which had Huang Pugong's resume on it, which was much more true than the previous statement.

Huang Pugong's original name was Huang Ren, born in South Vietnam, and he was also a good citizen in his early years, and he was successful in learning literature and martial arts.

When he was in his twenties, in order to buy medicine for his seriously ill mother, he took risks and ganged up with a group of rogue teenagers in the city to steal.

Because this case happened in the city, it was a sensation back then.

Life at sea is hard, Huang Pugong, who is young and strong, can fight and fight, can be at ease, but Huang Mu, who is old and frail, is extremely difficult.

Huang Pugong is a filial son, in order to make his mother's life more comfortable, he plundered everywhere, not only robbing merchant ships and fishing boats, but also other pirates.

He set the rule that if he met ordinary people, he would only rob money, and even leave some behind, so that the robbed person would not have nothing after docking, and if he bumped into a colleague, he would rob the property and destroy the ship, and the people on the boat would be thrown into the sea, and life and death would be up to heaven.

Huang Pugong's reputation was famous, he had his own gang, but it also attracted a large number of enemies, and the two sides fought frequently, and Huang Pugong's command talent was revealed during this period, and he quickly changed from weak to strong, becoming a hegemon on the sea.

Huang Pugong has been dominating for more than ten years, but there are too many enemies, and the pirates can't beat him, so he secretly joins forces with the government.

In a pursuit battle, Huang Pugong's fleet was led into an ambush circle, more than ten ships were surrounded by hundreds of official ships and pirate ships, the number of disparities was so great, Huang Pugong still held on for seven days and seven nights, several times to break through the siege, not long after being surrounded again, and finally the ship sank into the water and was captured by a group of pirates.

At that time, the general on the government side was Yan Pengshi's father, Yan Kang, who threatened to go to war against the allied pirates, and took Huang Pugong back from them, saving his life.

Yan Kang admired Huang Pugong's ability, brought him back to the East China Sea, and picked up his mother from the island, trying his best to recruit him.

For the safety of his mother, Huang Pugong accepted Zhao'an, but he was the leader of the robbers, a felony wanted by the imperial court, and there were a large number of pirates outside who hated him to the bone and couldn't join the army, so he abandoned the old name of Huang Ren and changed his name to Huang Pugong, and since then he has been a slave in Yanfu and hidden for several years, until the government cancels the case and the pirates forget him, he gradually appears in public.

At this time, he was no longer a thief who dominated the sea, but just a servant in the Yan Mansion.

But he is not an ordinary servant, he often follows Yan Kang, gives him advice, and even goes to the battlefield with him to arrange troops, every time he is sure to win, Yan Kang has accumulated merit all the way to the Prime Minister of the East China Sea, Huang Pugong is still a servant, and when the old master half retreats, he begins to serve the little master Yan Pengshi again.

Half a year ago, the Qi country was in turmoil, a large number of traitors retreated to the sea, Huang Pugong and Yan Pengshi led a warship to the sea to pursue, and made great contributions, of course, the credit belongs to the master, as a servant, he only received a few more months of wages.

Jing Yao found several soldiers on the ship who participated in the war in the East China Sea Kingdom, and they praised Huang Pugong in unison, but only to the nominal main general, Yan Pengshi, and after drinking too much, one soldier revealed more details, claiming that Yan Pengshi was actually forced to board the ship, and was half scared to death on the ship, and threatened to behead Huang Pugong several times.

Han Ruzi put down the paper in his hand, looked at Huang Pugong at the door, "Raise your head." ”

Huang Pugong raised his head, his eyes still lowered, and he didn't dare to look directly at the emperor.

Huang Pugong, who has passed the age of not being confused, does not have much general demeanor left, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like an honest servant, but kneeling in front of the emperor, he does not tremble, nor does he show panic, kneeling and lowering his eyes just to implement the rules, and there is a rare calmness hidden under the surface of respect.

He was like a rock under the sea.

"Huang Pugong, is your mother still there?" Han Ruzi asked.

Huang Pugong raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, showing a little surprise, and immediately lowered his gaze again, "Back to Your Majesty, Caomin's mother died seven years ago. ”

"The son wants to raise but doesn't wait, it's pitiful."

Huang Pugong just kowtowed and didn't say anything.

Han Ruzi picked up the paper on the table again, looked at a line of words, and asked: "You also studied literature and martial arts when you were young, why didn't you want to take the test to serve the country, not only to support your mother, but also to glorify the court, but you are willing to be a thief?" ”

The emperor actually knew about the events of more than 20 years ago, and Huang Pugong was even more surprised, "The grass people have participated in civil and military affairs, but they have not passed the examination. Then...... At that time, the grass people were reckless and ignorant, and they were in urgent need of money, and they sent charcoal in the snow, so I regarded them as confidants and felt that I wanted to repay them with my life, so I joined the gang. ”

"But then you killed all your accomplices."

"When they dragged me into the gang, they were friends, and when they committed a crime, they were accomplices, but after the distribution of the spoils, they had to talk about dignity and humility, and it was not the grass people who did it first, they themselves fought first, scolding while beating, and revealing all the ugly things about each other, and the grass people were anxious and felt that they had seen the wrong person...... The grass people were reckless and ignorant at that time. ”

When he was young, Huang Pugong was indeed reckless, and it was very normal for him to draw a knife without saying a word.

Han Ruzi vaguely saw the image of a Jianghu person, and asked: "Fleeing to the sea, why are you fighting against pirates?" ”

Huang Pugong was silent for a moment, "When the grass people first arrived at sea, they visited several famous thieves, they saw me with my mother, and they heard that I had killed my companions, and they didn't want to accept me into the gang, I ...... The grass people were reckless and ignorant at that time. ”

Han Ruzi felt even more strange because of this, "Since when have you stopped being reckless and ignorant, but are willing to be slaves in Yan Mansion?" ”

Huang Pugong, who had been calm, finally trembled, "The mother of the grass people suffered a lot in this life, and she almost couldn't get out of bed in the last few years, and said before she died: 'My life is all on you, if you feel that you are still dutiful for your mother, don't toss anymore, even if you are a slave, as long as you can live a peaceful life, you will live a long time, and you will not be sad to know for your mother." ’”

Huang Pugong burst into tears, because of his mother's words, he was willing to be a slave in Yanfu, and turned all the pride and ambition in his heart into gambling, only occasionally showing it, when he would rush to the warship and rush to the enemy desperately.

Han Ruzi was silent for a long time, and then remembered his mother, and suddenly felt that he should stay in the palace for a while longer.

"If you are asked to exterminate the Yunmengze group of thieves, how many soldiers will be needed?" Han Ruzi cut off his private thoughts and asked about the matter.

"The group of thieves is very strong, in fact, they are fighting for themselves, and the grass people only need 3,000 elite soldiers, but the soldiers will be chosen by the grass people."

"When can there be war?"

"If you don't have time, you will fight when you arrive, retreat after the fight, wait for the opportunity to fight again, if you do it three or five times, the group of thieves can be broken."

Huang Pugong stepped forward and replied, he already had five or six points of generalism. (To be continued.) )
