"What does it mean to 'I want to eat meat'?" The king of the East China Sea was puzzled, looked at the people in the room one by one, and finally looked at the emperor, and suddenly understood, the widow changed the content of the "edict with clothes" behind his back, and his anger instantly kicked caution out of his heart, pounced over, and shouted: "You dare to play with me!" ”

Although Jing Yao was old, his hands and feet were very sharp, and he hurriedly stopped his waist and hugged the King of the East China Sea, and reprimanded sharply: "The King of the East China Sea is self-respecting, this is the palace!" ”

The king of the East China Sea was shocked, knowing that he had made a big mistake, and his attitude immediately softened, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... for a while I beg your Majesty's pardon......"

Han Ruzi nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care.

"Is this really the note?" Jing Yao still had doubts.

"Your Majesty left a lot of ink treasures yesterday, and you can know whether it is true or false with a pair of handwriting." Yang Feng carefully put away the note, the Queen Mother already believed that other people's opinions did not matter.

"How did you get there?"

"Lord Yuan took the initiative to give it to me." Yang Feng said calmly.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was more "smart" than expected, Jing Yao was annoyed but didn't dare to be angry, and said with a red face: "The fast will end soon, Your Majesty has many days to eat meat, why should you tell the ministers about this little thing?" ”

"It's hard for me to find someone to talk to in the palace." Han Ruzi walked back to the bed.

Jing Yao and Zuo Ji glanced at each other, they didn't know how to answer this sentence, they each muttered a few words, and retreated in unison, and the king of the East China Sea stared at the emperor until he heard Jing Yao's urging, and then he said goodbye stiffly.

Yang Feng stayed where he was and didn't move, and the three people who had already retreated to the door all stopped, not wanting to leave the emperor alone with the treacherous Zhongchang servant.

"By the will of the Queen Mother, from today onwards, I will serve Your Majesty." Yang Feng said.

The three of them did not stay any longer and left in a hurry.

Yang Feng walked to the bed, "You are very smart, you didn't really write any secret edicts, you are also lucky, the Queen Mother is magnanimous, I think this is just a child's nonsense, I don't want to pursue it too much." ”

Han Ruzi looked up and asked, "I almost hurt a lot of people, didn't I?" ”

"Your Majesty is too worried, inside and outside the palace, up and down the court, everyone has a way to protect themselves, and those who need Your Majesty's protection are also people who are not worthy of protection."

Han Ruzi thought of the two eunuchs who were beaten, and their way to protect themselves was to scream.

finally met Yang Feng, and there were some things he wanted to ask clearly: "What are the benefits of being an emperor?" The king of the East China Sea wants to be the emperor so much, you don't agree, I have never had this kind of thought, but you have to push me up, I heard that when my grandfather Emperor Wu was on the throne, he was angry and bled for thousands of miles, and when it came to me, he didn't even dare to admit his biological mother. ”

Yang Feng took a step forward, there were some words that should not have been said, but some characteristics of the emperor moved him, and Yang Feng was willing to take a risk, "You want to know what the emperor is?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded hesitantly.

"Emperor Wu was angry and bled for thousands of miles, but there are thousands of miles away, the army of Da Chu has never been able to exhaust the world, and Emperor Wu also has troubles around him, the three Yi princes, the seven heavy ministers, the inner palace is innumerable, Emperor Wu has encountered at least five crises in his life, three times on the way to the microservice, once in the court, and once in the palace."

Han Ruzi's eyes lit up, "Mother has never ...... I've never heard of these stories. ”

"It's not a bedtime story." Yang Feng's tone became stern, "I'm telling you a truth. ”

"No matter how powerful the emperor is, there are times when things don't go well?" Han Ruzi guessed.

Yang Feng said coldly: "I'm telling you what the real emperor looks like, the most real appearance, not the so-called full study of Confucianism claims. ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while and muttered: "Thousands of miles away, the emperor can't control it, within ten steps, the emperor is no different from ordinary people, so the emperor's power is only ten steps away, within a thousand miles...... And I, on the other hand, was trapped within ten steps. ”

This kid is very smart, if the situation is a little better, Yang Feng is sure to train him to be a generation of Ming Jun, but the current situation only allows him to talk on paper.

"How can we break the dilemma?" Han Ruzi looked up and asked.

Yang Feng shook his head, "There is no way, the time is also, the momentum is also, how many heroes and heroes have been unknown throughout the ages, just because they were born at the wrong time and have been unknown all their lives, Your Majesty should rest in peace." ”

Yang Feng retreated, he didn't need to serve the emperor at night, and he didn't need to teach the emperor everything.

Han Ruzi was lying on the bed, someone entered the house, blew out the lights, and fell on the couch by the window.

"Ten paces away, within a thousand miles." Han Ruzi pondered Yang Feng's words, thinking that his "current situation" didn't know if and when it would arrive, and suddenly his heart moved, Yang Feng didn't say something clearly, since they were ordinary people within ten steps, why couldn't they do something within ten steps?

He looked sideways at the vague figure on the chair, and found that he had only been looking at the Queen Mother and the eunuch from afar these days, ignoring too many details around him, "cough...... What is your name? ”

There was silence in the darkness, and the new attendant seemed to have learned the lesson of the first two eunuchs, and was reluctant to talk to the emperor, and after a long while, finally a woman spoke: "My name is Meng E, is there something wrong?" ”

This voice is cold, neither calling himself a "slave" nor respecting "Your Majesty", which is even more rude than Jing Yao and Zuo Ji, who came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Han Ruzi met a tough opponent on his first attempt "within ten steps", he tried hard to recall the appearance of this palace maid, but he couldn't remember anything, there were too many people coming and going these days, and they all had the same expression, it was really difficult to recognize.

"What happened to those two?"

"Which two?"

"The two men who were beaten because of me."

Meng E, who was in the dark, was silent for a while, "They deserve it." ”

"If I am guilty, my sin is greater."

"There is a difference between the high and the low, and since the master and the slave are separated, there will be no sin of the same."

Han Ruzi wanted to win the favor of the palace maids around her, but she was speechless by the other party, and Meng E remained motionless, as if she was falling asleep immediately.

Early the next morning, Han Ruzi finally saw Meng Mo's true face, she looked about twenty years old, not much taller than the thirteen-year-old emperor, her appearance was not ugly, and she was definitely not beautiful, her expression was dull, no different from other people in the palace, Han Ruzi didn't remember when she started serving herself.

The young emperor was not frustrated by this defeat, but made up his mind to pay attention to everyone "within ten steps", but to avoid the mistakes made when writing the "secret edict", and never to involve others again.

Soon he found that the eunuchs and palace maids around him were not the same person, and behind the dull expressions, everyone's cautions were hidden: the old eunuch holding the crown peeked at the palace maid holding the dress from time to time, and the palace maid holding the dress quietly paid attention to the companion who held the ornament box...... Meng E is also in this chain of mutual surveillance, but her status is slightly higher, and no one dares to look at her.

Yang Feng did not participate in these small games, he waited outside the door, no one watched, and when the time came, he escorted the emperor to meet the queen mother and participate in the ceremony, almost not leaving an inch.

At first, Han Ruzi thought that these people were full of contradictions with each other, and on the way to meet the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he suddenly realized that the eunuchs and palace maids were actually their own masters and were afraid of each other.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu did not come today, and a squire took his place, he kept a distance from the emperor at all times, and tried not to open his mouth as much as he could.

The fast in the afternoon was normal, Yang Feng did not kneel at the door, he stayed outside the door according to the rules, and never came in to disturb the emperor and the king of the East China Sea.

The King of the East Sea was very surprised by this, and waited for more than an hour before speaking, "It's really strange that no one is watching the two of us. ”

Han Ruzi didn't squeak and didn't look back.

The King of the East China Sea coughed twice, and finally couldn't help but say what was in his heart, "It's not that I told the secret, it's that you yourself were too careless and showed your feet." But your trick is bad enough, 'I want to eat meat', you want to test whether the Ministry of Rites is trustworthy, right? Well, it's really cautious, a little too cautious. ”

Han Ruzi's last bit of trust in the East China Sea King had long since disappeared, but this person was within ten steps, and he didn't want to have an argument, so he said, "Anyway, this thing can't be done anyway." ”

"If you were a little bolder, maybe the Ministry of Rites Shangshu would have taken action yesterday, but you wrote 'I want to eat meat,' and the ministers certainly wouldn't take it seriously. Dare to take risks to gain results, like you, you will never survive. ”

"I didn't want to 'come out' in the first place, and now it's no worse than before."

"Now you're going to lose your head at any moment!" The King of the East Sea was incredulous at the emperor's calmness, but when he thought that his earlier threats had not had any effect on the imperial brother, he was relieved, "I understand what you mean, your mother and son have really lived in the past...... It's too miserable, there is no king, no master, and it is inferior to ordinary clan children. If you want me to say, the Queen Mother must hate your mother and son very much, and she doesn't even want to see your face. ”

"Have you seen the Queen Mother?"

"I've seen her before, she's not a simple person...... "The King of the East Sea lowered his voice, "As long as she's there, my father's eyes will never look at anyone, and it is said that she can - witchcraft." ”

At the mention of the word "witchcraft", the king of the East China Sea himself was frightened first, knelt down honestly, and muttered: "Maybe she can hear us when we talk here, otherwise she is injured by her own witchcraft, so she hides and doesn't dare to see people." ”

Han Ruzi didn't believe in witchcraft very much, turned sideways slightly, looked at the King of the East China Sea, and wondered, "Why did the Queen Mother let you be my attendant and allow us to be alone?" ”

"To humiliate me and Cui Jiabei." The king of the East China Sea said indignantly, undisguised his anger at the Queen Mother and his covetousness for the throne.

Han Ruzi didn't think so, and even suspected that the king of the East China Sea was pretending to be stupid, anyway, if he was the king of the East China Sea, he would not be in a hurry at all, since the Cui family was a big family, he would never give in lightly to the queen mother, and the king of the East China Sea still had a chance.

"We still have to find a way to deal with the Queen Mother, and this time send a message to our Cui family." The king of the East Sea could not guess the emperor's thoughts, and made a new proposal with great interest.

"Nope." Han Ruzi simply refused, "I don't want to deal with anyone, especially the Queen Mother, if I stay on the throne for a short time, it will also be my life." ”

Han Ruzi turned around, and the King of the East China Sea looked at him with a surprised expression, and after a moment, he showed an extremely resentful expression.

There was one more dish for dinner, and it tasted quite meaty after the entrance, Han Ruzi was very surprised, he was still in the fasting period, and he must not touch the meat, and after chewing a few bites, he found out that it was a shiitake mushroom, and it seemed that his complaint was still a little useful.

After the meal, Han Ruzi took every opportunity to talk to the eunuchs or palace maids around him, but they gained little, they were puzzled by the emperor's change in personality, and soon became vigilant, as much as possible not to answer, when they had to speak, they had to think twice, those words did not seem to be addressed to the emperor, but as if they wanted to convey to someone who was not present.

What everyone felt from the emperor was not cordial, but pressure.

Yang Feng went in and out, heard some conversations, did not object, did not take the opportunity to make suggestions, he was like a half-hearted herdsman, occasionally came over to see if the cattle and sheep were still grazing in the same place, and then went about his own business.

At the end of the day, Han Ruzi was exhausted, all he got was a few answers, and he was still a barren land within ten steps.

When lying in bed at night, Han Ruzi recalled the experience of the day and found that he had not gained nothing, at least he understood one thing: the power of the Queen Mother was not only in the palace, there was an undercurrent surging around him.

But this is not helpful to the current emperor, he can't control it within ten steps, and he hasn't found the "current situation" in his favor, until when he is about to sleep at night, a small thing gives Han Ruzi some confidence.

At that time, he was about to fall asleep, and suddenly the voice of the palace maid Meng E came from under the window, "I asked, those two people were sent for healing and couldn't die." ”

Han Ruzi's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, he cared about the life and death of the two eunuchs, but it was not to the extent that he lingered all the time, he was happy, because someone finally answered his question head-on, and a pool of stagnant water within ten steps finally moved slightly.
