Han Ruzi is not the first person to appreciate Chai Yue, as an unfavored concubine, Chai Yue has been trying his best to sell his talent to all kinds of people, such as the great general Han Xing and other powerful people, they are very optimistic about the future of this young general, but they are unwilling to help, so as not to be considered as having ulterior motives.

Before Han Ruzi, there was only one person who gave Chai Yue some practical help in distress, or some gold and silver, or a few sets of clothes, or a few words of introduction, so that Chai Yue could gracefully maneuver among the powerful in the capital.

This person is not a native of the capital.

"Luoyang hero Wang Jianhuo, his grandmother is the daughter of the princes, but he has no intention of being an official, and he loves to help the needy, because his appearance is somewhat special, he is known as the 'ugly king', and he often travels between the capital and Luoyang." Chai Yue introduced.

"'Junhou Ugly King Buyi Tan', hey." Han Ruzi has already seen the other two, and his impression is not very good.

"Why haven't I heard that the Ugly King has such a good relationship with the Tan family?" The king of the East China Sea was a little jealous, he heard that the Tan family was going to find someone to intercede, but no one told him that it would be Wang Jianhuo.

Chai Yue smiled awkwardly, "The two are both famous heroes in the world, there should always be some connection, I don't know much about it." Then he said to the emperor: "Chai Yue has been favored by others and has to report it, but the country is a big matter, if Your Majesty is ......"

"It's okay, I can meet the ugly king, and bring him tomorrow morning."

Chai Yue thanked him, and the king of the East China Sea smiled: "I saw the ugly king once, Your Majesty is a little prepared, he is really ugly, so ugly that it can be frightening, with his family background, but he refuses to come out to be an official, probably because of his appearance." ”

"The face is ugly and kind-hearted, Junyang Hou relied on power at the beginning, the Tan family has a lot of money, and only Wang Jianhuo has a chivalrous reputation for benevolence." Chai Yue argued.

The king of the East China Sea pursed his lips, "The ugly king gave you money and clothes. ”

"That's not the same ......"

Chai Yue still wanted to argue again, but Han Ruzi raised his hand to say that he didn't want to hear it anymore, "Luoyang City has been closed?" ”

Chai Yue said: "The eight gates have been closed, as long as the Holy Army Master and Baoxi are still in the city, they will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Han Ruzi came back too late, and no one could guarantee that the Holy Army Division was still in Luoyang.

The king of the East China Sea said: "Maybe Lin Kunshan is deceiving people, in order to let His Majesty stay in Luoyang for a long time." If that Holy Army Master is really hiding here, Henan Yin and the Ugly King will not be able to get rid of it. ”

Of course, Han Ruzi understood that there must be an inextricable connection between these people, but without the slightest evidence, the emperor could not arrest people casually.

He asked Chai Yue to step down, called Liu Jie, the supervisor of the Central Division, and ordered him to go to Zhang Jing, the head of the Criminal Department.

Taking advantage of the fact that only the guards were there, the king of the East China Sea said: "Your Majesty, you have to believe me, I have been following Your Majesty these days, and I don't know anything about the Tan family, and they don't treat me as my own family and keep my mouth shut." ”

"The Tan family really thinks someone can convince me?" Han Ruzi was a little puzzled, the reason why he didn't summon the ugly king immediately was because he didn't want the other party to be proud, "They are looking for it, and they will only push themselves to death." ”

Han Ruzi was telling the truth, what he was most afraid of was the Tan family's ubiquitous network, but they wanted to show this, which made the emperor even more jealous.

If it weren't for the interference of the Holy Army Division, Han Ruzi would even want to do something to the Tan family in Luoyang.

Yang Feng said that the emperor has matured twice, the first time he knows what he can do, and the second time he knows what he can't do, this is a bit early, Han Ruzi now wants to do a lot of things, and the biggest obstacle is the lack of time and manpower.

"The Tan family...... They are all stupid and ignorant of current affairs. The king of the East Sea didn't know what to say, so he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It's those men and women who are in trouble...... There's no need for punishment, right? ”

Han Ruzi laughed, he understood clearly, the champion Hou died at the hands of the Tan family's women, and the princess of the East China Sea, the Tan family, was even more worthy of being a heroine among women.

When the criminal officer Zhang Jing arrived, as an accompanying official of the Criminal Department, he had repeated in the battle for the throne, Zhang Jing was anxious about his situation and was eager to make meritorious contributions to protect himself, so as soon as he received the order, he worked with his colleagues in Luoyang to lay a net to secretly find out the whereabouts of the Holy Army Division and Baoxi.

"There are no clues yet." Zhang Jing knelt on the ground, he felt nervous every time he came to see the emperor, even if he stood in the crowd, he couldn't raise his head, let alone come alone.

"Don't trust the officials in Luoyang too much." Han Ruzi reminded.

"Yes, Wechen just asked Luoyang Mansion to cooperate, Wechen knows some people here and can help."

Luoyang is a famous city in the world, closely connected with the capital, as an official of the Criminal Department, Zhang Jing has some special channels.

"Well, how much do you know about Wang Jianhuo?"

Zhang Jing was stunned, "The ugly king of Luoyang? Learn a little, he is a hero on the same level as Junyang Hou and the Tan family. ”

"What is the relationship between Wang Jianhuo and the Tan family?"

Zhang Jing was stunned again, and glanced at the King of the East China Sea, every word he said here would inevitably reach the ears of the Tan family, the more so, the more he had to tell the truth, in order to show that he was loyal to the court and not to the Tan family.

"There are rumors among the people that the ugly king has a deep grudge against the Tan family."

It was Han Ruzi's turn to be slightly stunned, "Why are the two families grudging?" ”

According to Weichen, the Tan family has always wanted to open an inn in Luoyang to turn over people, property and goods, but without the permission of the ugly king, the inn could not be run, and the two families had a grudge."

Han Ruzi couldn't help but sneer, "Listen, this is the so-called hero, the name of the chivalry is the table, the word is in the middle, there is no official and no position, but he can fight for the city and land, and he is more powerful than the princes of one side." ”

The King of the East Sea and Zhang Jing did not dare to squeak.

"Let's go down, come over twice a day in the morning and evening to report the situation, and come to see you at any time if there is news."

Zhang Jing kowtowed and retreated, feeling a lot more relaxed, as long as there was something to do, he could win the emperor's favor.

The king of the East China Sea said cautiously: "The so-called heroes are just like that, they are mercenary, just a group of rabble. ”

Han Ruzi smiled and said nothing.

Liu Jie, the central supervisor, came in, "Your Majesty, Dr. Qu Zixi, the national superintendent, asks to see you." ”

"Please come in." Han Ruzi intended to train this Confucian student to become the future prime minister, so he was more polite.

Qu Zixi's courtesy this time is the courtier's courtesy, he knows what kind of etiquette should be performed on what occasion, the etiquette department just acts according to the rules, but he can say a set of reasons.

After receiving the pardon, Qu Zixi said: "I heard that Your Majesty sent an edict to amnesty the displaced people in Luoyang, and opened the warehouse again to release grain, and the minister came to celebrate. ”

The King of the East China Sea smiled: "You are not from Luoyang...... Hey, no, you're here to celebrate Your Majesty? ”

"Of course."

The king of the East China Sea snorted lightly, knowing that these Confucian scholars were very proud and liked to say strange things, so he simply didn't open his mouth to answer.

"I have just issued a decree to open a warehouse, and the displaced people have not yet received food to return to their hometowns, what is there to celebrate?" Han Ruzi mustered up his spirits and had to be very careful in talking to these Confucian students, so as not to fall behind in words.

"The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water is quiet, the boat is stable, the water is smooth, the boat is fast, the water is chaotic, the boat is overturned, His Majesty returned to the throne at the beginning, the courtiers were not stable, but His Majesty first thought about the people of the world, this is the foundation of water control, so it is worth celebrating."

The King of the East China Sea looked at Qu Zixi in surprise, thinking that he was ridiculing the emperor for not discriminating about the severity, thinking that the scholars were really bold, and they should have won over a group of them if they knew this.

Han Ruzi didn't care, and said with a smile: "I accept the congratulations, what else does Mr. Qu have to say?" ”

"Controlling the water is not a day's work, the holy decree, the people are happy, if there is no food to put, or the food is too little, not enough to wrap the stomach, it is inevitable to return in defeat, in this way, the water control is not successful, but to cause disaster."

Han Ruzi frowned slightly, "Luoyang is a famous city in the Kanto region, rich in the world, how can there be no food to put it?" ”

"Luoyang is rich by the people, not officials. No matter how big Luoyang is, it is not as big as the capital, and the grain in the official treasury has its own fixed number, which is not more than that of other counties, but the displaced people attracted are several times that of other places, so the grain storage must be insufficient. ”

"Why didn't Henan County explain the situation earlier?"

"Tianwei is shocking, how dare the little official say that it is difficult?"

Recalling the situation of issuing an edict in the Luoyang Marquis's Mansion, Han Ruzi had to admit that as the emperor, he was indeed very majestic at that time, and because of this, no official below Yin in Henan dared to say half a word.

Han Ruzi pondered for a moment, "There is a lot of grain in Aocang, it should be enough, right?" ”

Qu Zixi kowtowed to the ground, once again expressed his congratulations, and then got up to leave.

"He's got to brag about it this time." The King of the East China Sea still doesn't like Confucianism very much, "What's the difference between them and Haoxia?" They are all fame-seekers. ”

Han Ruzi didn't squeak, he was thinking that he lacked a prime minister-like figure around him, who could act according to his orders, and would not scare the officials into telling the truth.

Among his cronies, there is just a lack of such a person, Chai Yue and others are military generals, Qu Zixi's position is too low, and he doesn't seem to be a person who is easy to deal with, thinking about it, it is really the most suitable old slippery head like Yin Harmless.

Han Ruzi glanced at the East China Sea King.

"What does Your Majesty command?"

The king of the East China Sea is smart and sleek enough, and over time, he can always mature, but unfortunately he is too untrustworthy, Han Ruzi shook his head, "Go tell Liu Jie, let him pass on the household servant Liu Zeqin." ”

Liu Shilang was also one of the accompanying officials, and he was more enthusiastic than other ministers about opening a warehouse and releasing grain, and Han Ruzi hoped that this person could be used for a while.

The king of the East China Sea went out to deliver the decree, and Liu Jie came in to confirm it, and then sent someone to summon Liu Zeqin.

"The top priority is to find the Holy Army Master and Baoxi, it's really not worth bothering about releasing food, people like Qu Zixi love empty talk, and then throw their hands away and throw the trouble to Your Majesty." The King of the East China Sea only thought about one thing in his heart, "It's better to let the Tan family help, they know more people in the rivers and lakes after all." ”

"The Tan family's power in Luoyang will be greater than Wang Jianhuo?"

"Uh...... It's different, the ugly king can choose to help or not to help, and the Tan family will definitely do their best to atone for their sins. And I very much doubt that the ugly king will come to intercede tomorrow, not to save people, but to harm people: knowing that His Majesty doesn't like the methods of the rivers and lakes, he has to use this to anger Long Yan, he is famous, and the Tan family suffers. Your Majesty, you must be careful. ”

"Alas, you are 'dedicated' to the Tan family."

The king of the East China Sea hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to speak again.

The accompanying officials all lived in the barracks, and Liu Zeqin, the head of the household department, soon arrived, proving that he was indeed a responsible official, and that he had come to Luoyang's population and grain stocks, as Qu Zixi expected, the food was indeed insufficient.

"Luoyang's wealth is famous all over the world, and displaced people from all over the world flock to it, and some of them walked a few days ago, and there are still a lot of left, and no one knows the specific number." Liu Zeqin said.

"What if the grain of Aocang is opened?"

Liu Zeqin glanced up at the emperor, "I have to ask the opinion of the Ministry of War on this." ”

"Why the Soldiers?"

"All the major grain cities in the world are owned by the Ministry of War, in order to support the Chu army in various places. As far as the minister knows, Ao Cang is of great importance to the northern city of Mayi......"

"I see." Han Ruzi had been in Mayi City and knew how much the border army consumed grain and grass.

"The minister has a strategy, I don't know if it can be used?" Liu Zeqin said.

"Say it."

"The official warehouse is insufficient, and there are private warehouses, there are many rich households in Luoyang, and every family has grain in stock, although no one counts, but it is roughly estimated that it is at least five times more than the grain stored in the official warehouse."

Han Ruzi nodded and went around in a circle, he still had to ask Henan Yin and other local officials for help. (To be continued.) )
