(Congratulations to the reader "Hailanzhu" for becoming the leader of this book, thank you for your support.) ）

"Thank you." Han Ruzi said to the palace maid that he had no other extravagant hopes for the time being, but just hoped that someone could talk to him and create a friendly environment within ten steps, so that the palace life would be a little more comfortable.

"No need...... If you really want to thank me, don't always run out of words, you're freaking everybody. ”

Meng E's tone was stiff, not only to the emperor, but also when talking to other eunuchs or palace maids, in a group of submissive people, she was like an ignorant woman from the countryside who had broken in by mistake, but she became the emperor's personal maid, living in the same room, and there was no replacement.

She must be the confidant of the Queen Mother, Han Ruzi guessed, she was not disgusted in her heart, but felt much more down-to-earth, "So I talk to everyone so that I won't cause trouble for someone alone, right?" And always without talking, I will ...... Crazy. ”

"Many people in the palace don't like to talk, and I haven't seen anyone go crazy."

"Then they must have someone to talk to, as we do now."

Meng E refused to talk any further.

Han Ruzi closed his eyes, fell asleep peacefully, and dreamed of his mother.

The next few days were uneventful, except for the ceremony and fasting, Han Ruzi still tried to talk to the people around him, and did not make much progress. The new emperor is about to officially ascend the throne, even if this is only a recognized puppet emperor, there can be no negligence in serving, and the attitude of the eunuchs and palace maids is becoming more and more respectful.

On March 18 of the first year of the Succession - as is customary, the name of the first emperor is still used for the rest of the year - Han Ruzi officially ascended the throne, and he was the most talked about figure on this day, but he still could not shake the feeling that everything had nothing to do with him.

He wore the crown left by Taizu, wearing a dragon robe specially made for him, walked from the dormitory to the Taimiao, and then walked from the Taimiao to the Tongxuan Temple, during which he stopped three times and changed his clothes three times, and the road was full of people on both sides, they knelt, they shouted long live, and then they returned to everyone, and decided that the world would be peaceful from now on.

Han Ruzi couldn't see the eyes that really cared about him, there was not much difference between the civil and military officials in the court and the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, they were respectful, but no one really wanted to approach the emperor within ten steps.

He tried not to think about anything, and was an obedient puppet in peace, even if he saw the unconvinced gaze of the king of the East Sea among the hordes of noble attendants, he was indifferent.

The ministers worshipped the new emperor in batches according to the rank and official position, and when the celebrant loudly summoned a group of generals to the palace, Han Ruzi had an impulse to shout for help, he didn't know these generals, but in the story, the generals were always more loyal and upright than the ministers.

The impulse flashed, Han Ruzi was still sitting on the uncomfortable dragon chair like a puppet, the military general was no different from Wenchen, he didn't even wear real armor on his body, he was prostrate on the ground and made the same movements, saying the same words in his mouth, and no one looked up at the new emperor.

The enthronement ceremony was long and boring, and it was not over until noon, when the new emperor moved to the Qinzheng Palace, where he would discuss the state with a few privy ministers for the first time as the emperor, and Han Ruzi did not expect anything about this, because he was still surrounded by many eunuchs, and there was no communication with the ministers, and because the queen mother was sitting in the warm pavilion next to her, everything was still up to her.

It has been nearly twenty days since he entered the palace, and he still has not seen the true face of the "Queen Mother".

Contrary to his expectations, and to everyone's expectations, the first imperial council should have been peaceful, but it turned out to be the first "situation" of the new emperor.

Han Ruzi's grandfather, Emperor Wu, became suspicious in his later years, and even distrustful of his loved ones, deposed two princes in ten years, and did not choose Emperor Lihuan as the crown prince until the year before his death.

In any case, the ordinary prince became the new crown prince and did not have time to receive sufficient training in governance, so before his death, Emperor Wu appointed five ministers to assist the inexperienced new emperor, the five people were Prime Minister Yin Wuwu, Governor Han Xing, Right Patrol Imperial Shi Shen Mingzhi, Southern Army Grand Sima Cui Hong, and Ministry Shangshu Feng Ju.

During Emperor Huan's short three-year reign, many major changes occurred, and the five ministers rose and fell, but they were not eliminated, and they remained in the Qinzheng Palace, holding the core power of Great Chu.

After Han Ruzi ascended the throne, there was a little change in the Qinzheng Palace, and the five important ministers became six, and the new joiner was the empress dowager's own brother Shangguan Xu, who replaced Cui Hong as the Great Sima of the Southern Army, and Cui Hong participated in politics as a Taifu. At the same time, after the renovation of the Dongnuan Pavilion that was originally for the minister to rest, it became the place where the queen mother listened to the government, saying that it was to listen to the government, and all the pieces had to be sent to the queen mother to see, and it was the new emperor Han Ruzi who sat on the side and became an ornament.

This is the first day of the new emperor's official accession to the throne, and there are many things that he needs to deal with: building a mausoleum for the early death of the emperor's brother, agreeing on a name, selecting a usable new year name from the Tao Te Ching, the new emperor will routinely grant amnesty to the world, issue a holy decree on the selection of talents, and the appointment and dismissal of a large number of officials need to be officially confirmed, and many things must be completed as soon as possible.

But these things have little to do with Han Ruzi, he just came over to symbolically show his face, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, and before he even had time to memorize the appearance of the five important ministers, Jing Yao, the central supervisor, announced for him: "Your Majesty is tired and wants to go back to the palace to rest, all the ministers are hardworking, and the big and small matters are decided by the Queen Mother." ”

Han Ruzi left the soft chair that had not yet been hot, and under the escort of Yang Feng and a team of eunuchs, he left the Qinzheng Hall and walked to the deep inner palace, thinking that he would never have a chance to leave the place of captivity, but the opportunity came faster than his pace.

The group had just walked through the two portals, and when they turned around, they could still see the cornices of the Tongxuan Palace, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind them, and the eunuch Jing Yao ran out of breath and said something that surprised everyone, "Please go back to the Qinzheng Palace, there is something to ...... There is something to deal with for Your Majesty. ”

Han Ruzi was unprepared for this, standing there at a loss, his eyes couldn't help but look at Yang Feng beside him, and soon found that almost everyone was staring at Yang Feng, as if such a scene was arranged by him in advance, especially Jing Yao, whose eyes were aggressive, and he almost announced the crime directly.

Yang Feng looked very calm, which deepened everyone's suspicions, and he asked, "Is this the Empress Dowager's decree?" ”

"Of course." Jing Yao was stunned.

Yang Feng stretched out his hand, "Please show it to Yang Gong." ”

Jing Yao was even more surprised, "You, you ......"

"Gong Jing forgive me, the rules are like this." Yang Feng said.

Jing Yao's face was flushed, he stomped his feet, turned around and was about to return to the Qinzheng Palace, when another eunuch came panting, Zuo Ji held a piece of paper in both hands and handed it directly to Yang Feng, "The Empress Dowager Yi aims for this." ”

Yang Feng took it with both hands, opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "That's right, please Your Majesty drive back to the Qinzheng Palace." ”

Han Ruzi's "driving" is his legs, he has walked a lot in the past half a day, his legs are slightly sore, and he hasn't even eaten a bite of food so far, but he is still a little excited in his heart, and he walked along the original road to the Qinzheng Palace, and saw the suspicious eyes of the King of the East China Sea in the attendant team, and secretly felt funny.

Zuo Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a casual tone: "It's still the Queen Mother who understands Yang Gong, and the Queen Mother said that Yang Gong is strict and doesn't follow the nameless order, and that's the case, hehe." ”

Jing Yao glanced at Yang Feng, and the hatred in his heart deepened.

There was silence in the Qinzheng Palace, the five important ministers stood scattered, for fear of being misunderstood as discussing something, all of them looked embarrassed, all the scribes in the hall were nowhere to be seen, and the Queen Mother heard that there were two eunuchs standing in front of the government cabinet, with a look of facing a great enemy.

Next to the pillar of the temple stood a man, dressed as obviously a eunuch, about forty years old, who was not good-looking, but had an untimely anger, and held an open brocade box in his arms, one leg in front and the other in the back, as if he was going to be killed by a head-on.

Such a scene is too weird, Han Ruzi thought about all kinds of possibilities on the way back, but he didn't expect this to be the case.

Yang Feng was also stunned.

The five important ministers all have the privileges given by Emperor Wu, and there is no need to bow down in the Qinzheng Palace, only Shangguan Xuan is an exception, he is an upstart, the first time to participate in the discussion of politics, very careful, as soon as he saw the emperor come back, he immediately knelt down, and the other five people glanced at each other, so they had to kneel down one after another, so that Yang Feng and others also knelt down, leaving only the emperor and the eunuch who was ready to hit the pillar.

The thirteen-year-old boy emperor suddenly became one of the tallest people in the room, and his heart was at a loss, and the etiquette taught to him by the officials of the Ministry of Rites was useless at this time, so he had to stand there and wait for others to speak.

Yang Feng straightened up and said, "Liu Jie, how can you be presumptuous in the Qinzheng Palace, and still kneel?" ”

The eunuch named Liu Jie knelt down on one leg, still holding the brocade box with both hands, and said loudly in a posture of looking at death as home: "Please take the seal from Your Majesty!" ”

Han Ruzi cast a look at Yang Feng for help, he had a little impression of Liu Jie, every time he performed the ceremony, this eunuch was present, he was one of the emperor's many attendants, he had never spoken, and no one had introduced him, Han Ruzi never knew what this person's position was.

Yang Feng's gaze swept half a circle, and finally fell on Prime Minister Yin Wuwu, "Lord Yin, what is going on?" ”

Yin Wuwu smiled bitterly, coughed a few times, as if he couldn't speak, and the eunuch Liu Jie rushed and said: "Yang Gong doesn't need to ask the Prime Minister, this is all done by me Liu." Liu Jie's eyes were full of rebuke, "Liu Mou, as the middle palm seal, is only in charge of the treasure seal for the emperor alone, even if the Jade Emperor descends to earth, don't want me to hand it over by myself." Liu is going to offend the Queen Mother and all the adults today, the so-called would rather be broken than broken, if there is no imperial order, Liu would rather die in this Qinzheng Palace, stained with blood! ”

No one dared to answer, but Han Ruzi's heart was hot, it turned out that the emperor was not just a puppet that no one cared about, and there were people who were willing to die to protect the emperor's dignity.

But he still didn't speak, out of instinct, he knew that the current situation was very delicate and dangerous, and his casual words might kill this loyal and courageous Liu Jie.

Among all the people, Shu Jingyao was the most embarrassed, as the central supervisor, he was the direct boss of Liu Jie, the middle seal, but he made such a big deal in front of the queen mother, but he didn't have anything to do, "Liu Jie, Your Majesty has arrived, you still don't hand over the treasure seal?" Today is the day of His Majesty's accession to the throne, you are so nonsense, but it is a crime to exterminate the clan! ”

"The rest of the prisoner has no family and no clan, Liu's life is a treasure seal, and it is not a pity to die." Liu Jie looked at the emperor, nodded slightly, and lowered his voice, "Please Your Majesty accept the seal, in the whole world, you are the only one who can take the treasure seal from me." ”

"Please...... Your Majesty...... Seals. "Prime Minister Yin is harmless and the head of the officials, I have to say the last sentence, the voice should be more vague and ambiguous.

Han Ruzi still didn't move, first glanced at the direction of the Queen Mother's Tingzheng Pavilion, and then looked at Yang Feng beside her.

Yang Feng bent down and gently supported the emperor's left elbow, and whispered, "Please Your Majesty accept the seal." There was some meaning in Yang Feng's eyes, on this occasion, some words could not be said even if they were killed.

Han Ruzi took a step, and Yang Feng stayed where he was, kneeling down again, and did not follow.
