The king of the East China Sea got married, moved out of the Cui family, and lived in the East China Sea Palace, which had been prepared for him a long time ago, it was a big mansion, but it couldn't be compared with the Cui house, and there were not many people, he said to Han Ruzi who came to congratulate: "The Cui family thinks that I can't do without them, I want them to see, I can still live a good life alone." ”

There was a sourness in the words, and with the hot and spicy wine, the stomach of the king of the East China Sea turned upside down.

There are not many people who come to congratulate, the marriage of the king of the East China Sea is prepared in a hurry, and it is an extraordinary period, many people are pretending to be confused, and they refuse to be present, so the banquet seems very deserted, and most of the dozens of guests are from the long-declining noble family, scattered around a dozen tables, guarding a large table of wine and delicacies, not daring to move, the scene is very different from the lively wedding of the champion Hou a few days ago.

Even so, the king of the East China Sea refused to invite low-status guests to sit with him, and he only sat at the table with Han Ruzi.

"The Cui family is preparing gifts for the bride, and they are too busy to take care of me." The king of the East Sea looked at the deserted hall and drank another glass of wine, he had already driven the servant away and poured himself a drink.

The "bride" he said was not his wife, but the daughter of the Cui family who married the champion Hou, "Hehe, do you know, the Cui family is so proud, but Shujun hasn't even gotten the title of Mrs. Liehou, she is ...... now It's just a civilian woman, haha. ”

The palace refused to approve the chapter, and the Ministry of Rites and Zongzheng Mansion had a large backlog of canonization documents, not only the wife of the champion Hou, but also the daughter of the Tan family who had just married the king of the East China Sea, and she would not get the title of "princess" for a while.

"Champion Hou must have been **** premeditated, I just knew that Champion Hou has been sealed for more than a year, and he has not applied for canonization for his ex-wife, and he felt that the daughter of the Tan family was not worthy of him at that time." The King of the East China Sea burped, and his eyes were slightly red, "This kid is ambitious, even if he can be the emperor, the Cui family will be empty in the end." ”

Several guests came over to say goodbye in groups, and the king of the East Sea waved his hand impatiently, not even daring to say more polite words.

Han Ruzi gently turned the wine glass in his hand, never drank it, and asked, "Mrs. Cui will still borrow your official seal, right?" ”

The king of the East China Sea nodded, "I will send it tomorrow, this is the tradition of the Cui family, bet on many parties, even if there is only a little chance of winning, do not give up, Cui Hong borrowed my official seal here, and explained it to the champion Hou a long time ago." The Cui family said that they were preparing gifts for the bride, but in the end, didn't they all send them to the champion Hou? Hey, the Cui family is so direct to please the new master. ”

The king of the East China Sea drank a little too much, and Han Ruzi didn't know how to persuade him, so he hummed perfunctorily twice, he had already sent Du Chuanyun to write a letter to the general Han Xing, and there should be a reply the day after tomorrow.

There was a sudden burst of laughter from the back house, which sounded like it was all women, and there were quite a few of them.

The face of the king of the East China Sea became even more ugly, and when the laughter disappeared, he said: "There are many female guests who congratulate the Tan family's daughter, but their fathers, husbands, and brothers don't have time to come, haha, the world is just cold!" Come, have a big drink! ”

The king of the East Sea drank it all, looked ahead, and didn't know what he was looking at, and the remaining guests began to sneak away, hiding some food in their sleeves, although the wedding banquet was deserted, the dishes were good.

"Fuck off! Don't stay here as an eyesore! The King of the East Sea shouted, scaring the last few guests away.

Only two brothers were left in the huge hall, and several servants poked their heads at the door, and when they saw that the master was not good, they did not dare to come in.

The King of the East China Sea lay on the table, looked at Han Ruzi obliquely, and said in a voice that he thought was lowed: "What bullshit is fighting for the throne and electing the emperor, to hell with it, contact the children of the clan, kill the champion Hou, the hopeful, and those ministers, you become the emperor, I will help you...... I'll help you ......."

The king of the East China Sea fell asleep, and Han Ruzi picked up the wine glass and took a sip, so it's okay, there is no need to say goodbye.

The plan of the king of the East China Sea and Han Xing did not work at all, there were many children of the clan who were officials, most of them were idle officials, lacking real power, and they were not even qualified to elect the emperor, only a few princes and Han Xing had some troops in their hands, but they were too scattered, Han Xing was known as a general, and the army under his direct command at Hangu Pass did not exceed 20,000 people, which had little impact on the general situation of the capital.

Han Ruzi and Yang Feng have other plans.

Han Ruzi was about to get up and leave, when there was the sound of rings and footsteps outside, and several maids hugged a noble lady uninvited.

The noblewoman was in her twenties, very beautiful and stern, as if she was the master of the palace, looked around, and walked to the main table.

Han Ruzi stood up, he didn't recognize this woman, and he didn't know whether to say hello or how to say hello, he had learned etiquette, but now it was this noble lady who didn't abide by etiquette.

"Help the East Sea King to go to the cave room." The lady commanded.

Several maids took the order, half-supported and half-supported, and took the king of the East China Sea away, Han Ruzi felt that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, nodded slightly, and was about to leave, but the noble lady was already sitting opposite and said, "Sit." ”

Han Ruzi glanced at the only remaining maid behind the noblewoman, and without getting any hint, he sat down slowly, vaguely guessing the identity of this woman.

"My surname is Cui, and I am Xiaojun's eldest sister."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Pingenhou, it's rude, I'm ......"

"I said I was Xiaojun's eldest sister, but I don't know who you are?" Mrs. Pingchou was a little spicy, and looked at Han Ruzi a few times, "Xiaojun mentioned me to you, right?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded, Xiaojun's eldest sister came from Cui Hong's first wife, she was irritable, she was not favored at home, she married Pingenhou Miao Shuang early, Pingenhou's family road has fallen, and it was a complete surprise to be able to marry the daughter of the Cui family, but I didn't expect that the day of marriage was also the time when the relationship was broken, the two families had very little contact, and Xiaojun had never seen this sister much since he grew up.

"The king of the East China Sea is still as unproductive as when he was a child, and on the day of the big day, he was actually drunk like mud, isn't it that the guests come less, and the big husband can't bear the anger of the moment, what else is there to do?"

Han Ruzi agreed with her words, so she just smiled and didn't speak.

"I'm here to see you two, and since he's drunk, so is you."

"Mrs. Pingenhou is looking for us?" Han Ruzi's first reaction was that the other party wanted to borrow money, and the noble family was not all rich, and a large number of ceremonies every year consumed most of their property, if there was no one in the family as an official, and there was no other income, life was also very tight, the previous generation of Ping Enhou had no official position, and Miao Shuang achieved nothing.

Mrs. Ping Enhou didn't answer immediately, stared at Han Ruzi for a while, and the only maid behind her bowed down and actually left.

"I'll speak for the general."

Han Ruzi was taken aback.

"There is no need to be so surprised, Ping Enhou and the concubine Zhuo Ruhe are world friends, I have known the princess for many years, she trusts me, and I am willing to do things for her."

"I see." Han Ruzi was still very surprised, Han Xing said that someone in the capital would contact him, but he never imagined that the contact person would be a woman, and it was Xiaojun's sister.

"There are many people in the capital, and men should be cautious, so they have to let the female dependents come forward." Seeing the look of surprise on Han Ruzi's face, Mrs. Ping Enhou smiled, "You are also a descendant of the Han family, a person who has been an emperor, and you have seen such a shallow knowledge, have you never heard of a female family in charge of half of the court?" ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, if he wanted to talk about the strength of the queen mother, he knew it, but as for other female dependents, he didn't know anything.

Mrs. Ping Enhou sneered, "You are really a good husband who is dedicated to the outside world, your wife, my sister Cui Xiaojun, has been in the circle of ladies in the capital for more than half a year, how many noble ladies have been made in the Cui Mansion, and how many benefits have you won for you, you actually don't know anything?" ”

Han Ruzi was even more surprised, and said after a while: "Xiaojun...... Never told me these things. ”

"I don't blame you, you have been fighting on the border, Xiaojun naturally won't bother you with these things, as soon as you returned to Beijing, she was admitted to the palace, alas, ......"

"Can you enter the palace to see Xiaojun?" Han Ruzi's eyes lit up.

Mrs. Pingenhou did not speak coldly.

Han Ruzi got up and arched his hand: "Ask my sister to help me, by mistake, after I returned to Beijing, I was separated from Xiaojun before I saw him." ”

"It seems that you still have some affection for Xiaojun, she finally didn't work for you in vain, okay, I'll help you with this, do you have any tokens and love words to bring her?"

Han Ruzi was on a whim just now, but he immediately became cautious again, and sat down slowly, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Hehe, you're doubting me, don't guess, brother-in-law, I did these things for a purpose."

Han Ruzi looked at her.

"Pingenhou is a county marquis, can only be inherited for three generations, if it is meritorious, it can be extended for several more generations, the third generation of Pingenhou has been on the battlefield and kept the throne for his children and grandchildren. The fourth and fifth generations, that is, my father-in-law and husband, are all incompetent, seeing that the throne is about to end, my son can only receive an idle job for this life, look at his appearance, and the Miao family is in the same line, and when he grows up, he is also a person who can't do great things, my grandson will be reduced to a commoner, and can only climb up by his own efforts, alas. ”

The Cui family has different personalities, but they have one thing in common, they are arrogant, and Mrs. Ping Enhou can't count on her husband, so she has to come forward herself, willing to take risks, and also win the throne for her children and grandchildren.

"To tell you the truth, I am not qualified to please the champion Hou, there are too many people who pat him on the back, and others have no future, so I choose you and the king of the East China Sea. The princess believes in me, and the general Han Xing also believes in me, if you have any doubts, just say now, let's not waste time guessing. ”

"I believe you, I really didn't think about bringing anything to Jun...... How can I contact you in the future? ”

"Looking for the King of the East China Sea, his wife is the daughter of the Tan family, and the champion Hou is a fool, I don't know how deep the potential of the Tan family is, and the Tan family is low-key, so he thinks that the Tan family is incompetent. Anyway, the king of the East Sea has married a good wife, and she can contact me at any time. However, it is better to find a trusted lady who is more convenient and less noticeable. ”

"Okay." Han Ruzi immediately had a candidate in his heart.

"I've been chatting for a long time, but I haven't talked about business yet. I came to see you and only said two things: first, the clan is very dissatisfied with the champion and the queen mother, and if everyone doesn't squeak, it doesn't mean that they don't want to resist; Second, don't take the support of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee for the champion Hou too seriously, they all have ghosts in their hearts, and there are few people who support the champion Hou as emperor with all their hearts. ”

Mrs. Pingenhou paused for a moment and asked, "Are you confident?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded, in fact, he was a little disappointed, the support promised by the general Han Xing from the children of the clan turned out to be just a group of female dependents, the only thing that made him happy was that he was able to get in touch with Xiaojun and his mother in the palace.

If he wants to do something, he must first keep these two people safe. (To be continued.) )
