Yuan Jiuding, who traveled thousands of miles to the East China Sea Kingdom to investigate the truth and escort the Wang family to Beijing, only received a hard work, but Han Chou, who had been staying in the capital and doing nothing on the surface, successfully won the favor of the Queen Mother, and was even regarded as a family member, which really surprised the entire imperial court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing that the person the emperor was going to deal with was him, the king of the East China Sea and Jing Yao were both surprised and relieved, and at the same time they answered the order, glanced at each other, the old and the young did not have a good impression of each other, and turned around, Jing Yao stood still and bowed his head in contemplation, and the king of the East China Sea slowly stepped forward, thinking about good strategies.

The king of the East China Sea stopped and spoke first: "Han Chou has done a lot of evil in Luoyang, arrested a group of businessmen, tortured and tortured, someone must confess him, and if he touches the melon, he will naturally be able to take down Han Chou." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "First, the merchants of Luoyang have just burned the IOUs of the homeless, and it is known all over the city, and arresting them at this time will confuse the people of the world." Second, Han Chou is scheming, if he senses that something is wrong, he will inevitably announce to the outside world that what he has gained over the years has either been given to me or to my uncle's family, and now that he has nothing, I will unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”

"Look at him fat like that, I really can't tell that he is still an old fox!" The King of the East China Sea inexplicably admired Han Chou.

He began to pace again, and after a few steps, he stopped again, "It is indeed not easy for a high-ranking official like Han Chou to be brought down, as far as I know, it is usually necessary to transfer him out of the capital first, and then find a way to collect evidence." ”

"This is a solution, but Han Chou's foundation is in Luoyang, I have already transferred him, and he is Zong Zhengqing, and there is no official position worthy of him outside Beijing."

The king of the East China Sea said with a smile: "Sealing the official again will make him suspicious, Your Majesty only needs to let him be a messenger and go out temporarily, but he lacks a suitable excuse...... There are more than a dozen vassal states in the world, and it would be nice if someone's family could cause something at this time. ”

Not long after the rebellion of the Qi Kingdom was pacified, the king of the East China Sea came up with such a sentence, and as soon as he said it, he reacted, and hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that, the vassal states can't, shouldn't, don't dare to have a big incident, I mean that whoever has something in the family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, father and son are not harmonious, brothers are fighting for power, wives and concubines are jealous, etc., these things are under the jurisdiction of Zongzheng Mansion." ”

Han Ruzi smiled, "How can it be so coincidental?" ”

The King of the East China Sea also smiled, and Jing Yao, who had not spoken all this time, spoke: "It's really possible that it's such a coincidence." ”

"Huh?"

Jing Yao saluted the emperor first, "There are few records in the history books, so Your Majesty may not know much about it, the things that the King of the East China Sea just said often happen in the vassal states, and it is actually easy to find one." ”

"There are few records in the history books, but what about the chapters? I've never seen a concerto, so if something happens in the princes' homes, no one will report it to the court? ”

The king of the East China Sea preemptively said: "I know this, as long as the princes' family affairs are not too big, the local officials usually will not report to the imperial court, and if they are reported, they will be handed over to the Zongzheng Mansion first, and the Zongzheng Mansion will only transfer it to the palace if it is necessary, and there is no need to go through the Prime Minister's Mansion." This is a rule set by Emperor Wu, it is said that he was tired of the trivial matters in the princes' families, and he did not want the ugliness of the clan family to be publicized, so the regulations did not need to be sent to the palace if it was not a major matter. ”

"What's a big deal?" Han Ruzi asked.

The King of the East China Sea let out a long snort, "Dead man, right?" ”

Jing Yao added: "It is only worth reporting if the children on the genealogy of the clan were killed, or more than three people died, or there was a storm in the local city. ”

Han Ruzi was incredulous, "This is the rule set by Emperor Wu?" ”

The King of the East China Sea just heard about it, but Jing Yao was a witness, and nodded, "There are too many similar things, if you check everything, all the princes will be wiped ......out."

"Hey, it's not as serious as you say, and the princes aren't all bad people." The East Sea King corrected.

Jing Yao said with a smile: "The old slave made a mistake, please forgive Your Majesty, the King of the East China Sea forgive me, the princes, even if they only deal with one, it will make the world know, Emperor Wu is mainly unwilling to publicize the ugliness of the family." ”

The King of the East Sea turned his head and pouted.

The clan is not only declining, but also decaying, the children of the clan who should be the foundation of the Great Chu have become moths in the foundation, and even Emperor Wu has taken their methods, preferring to turn a blind eye.

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, Han Chou's problem alone has not been solved, and a few words of gossip will lead to a bigger problem, "Han Chou is Zong Zhengqing, and the princes have to report through him if they have something, it is estimated that he will not cause trouble for himself, unless the affairs of the princes happen in front of my eyes......"

Han Ruzi looked at the King of the East China Sea, and there was indeed a prince in front of him.

The king of the East China Sea was taken aback, "Your Majesty, don't be kidding, I am an honest prince, I don't mess with anything at all, there is only a good wife in the family, there are no concubines, no children, and even servants are much less than other princes." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm thinking about Han Chou."

The king of the East China Sea breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to prevent the emperor from turning his thoughts to himself again, he suggested: "There will be a big festival next spring, according to the rules, all the princes will enter Beijing to participate, and Your Majesty can clean up whoever he wants." ”

"It's not the princes, it's Han Chou." Han Ruzi didn't have the energy to clean up the clan, "And as soon as possible, Han Chou knew that he would anger me, and he dared to do anything wrong, there must be another trick, and I had to strike first this time." ”

Jing Yao said: "When Han Chou first came to the capital, it was difficult to cover all of his plans, and the old slave was not talented, so there might be a way to find out what he wanted." ”

This is exactly what Han Ruzi intended when he summoned Jing Yao, "Don't alarm him." ”

"Yes, the old slave understands."

Han Ruzi was still not very relieved about Jing Yao, and asked, "How are you going to investigate?" ”

Jing Yao hesitated for a moment, not that he wanted to keep it secret, but that there were some things that were not suitable for the emperor, but the current emperor was unusual, he still replied: "Han Hou is lustful, and he may accidentally leak some words to the person next to him." ”

"Can Jing Gong investigate Han Chou's pillow person?" Han Ruzi was really a little surprised.

Jing Yao had no choice but to continue to explain: "Han Chou's pillow people are actually just some slaves, not even concubines, they are favored for a while, and then they are abandoned, and some are even given to others, you can't have no resentment in your heart, just find the right person, with a little persuasion, maybe you can find some news." ”

Han Ruzi nodded and stopped asking.

The King of the East China Sea smiled: "Duke Jing knows Han Hou very well, you knew that you would be summoned by His Majesty, so you did your homework in advance, right?" ”

Jing Yao said: "How can the old slave guess His Majesty's thoughts in advance? The old slave has only been in the palace for a long time, and he heard a little about it, Han Chou has been in charge of Luoyang and has a great reputation, so the old slave naturally heard more rumors. ”

"I see." The King of the East Sea said flatly.

Before they could come up with a plan to deal with Han Chou, the two of them fought openly and secretly.

After chatting for a while, Han Ruzi asked the two to step down, think of countermeasures, and discuss them tomorrow.

The study has been cleaned up, but Han Ruzi doesn't want to sleep here tonight, he has too many things to think about this day, and he needs to take a good rest, so he moved to the bedroom.

Tonight's attendant is Tong Qing'e, she was named a concubine by the palace maid because of her meritorious service, a few years older than the emperor, but she did not have the corresponding calmness, every time she saw the emperor, she was nervous and shy, and a little afraid.

Han Ruzi didn't have anything to say to her, lying on the comfortable bed, her heart was still full of thoughts, and she fell asleep after a while.

Early the next morning, the first snow of this winter came unexpectedly, not big, spread a thin layer on the ground, all those who can talk to the emperor, all congratulate, thinking that Ruixue is a good year, and those who can talk are associated with yesterday's Queen Mother's provincial relatives, claiming that this is the induction of heaven.

Han Ruzi was going to the Qinzheng Palace, and he set off relatively early, and the genius was bright. He prefers to ride a horse, but Cai Xinghai and others prefer the emperor to take a sedan chair for safety reasons, and Han Ruzi did not insist on his opinion.

As soon as Han Ruzi entered the sedan chair and sat down, Zhang Youcai came over and said, "The king of the East China Sea is guarding the door and wants to see Your Majesty." ”

Han Ruzi snorted, and Zhang Youcai went to call the King of the East China Sea.

The king of the East China Sea lifted the sedan curtain with one hand, probed in, and saluted the emperor, "I thought about it for a night, and I felt that Your Majesty wanted to fight quickly, and I am afraid there was only one way." ”

"Say."

The King of the East China Sea pondered for a moment, "Forget it, I thought it was good, if you think about it carefully, it's not appropriate, please forgive your majesty, let me think about it again." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's up to me to decide whether it's suitable or not, whatever you think, just say it."

The King of the East China Sea laughed twice, and then put away his smile, "I only remembered it when I saw Jing Yao, Jing Gong has been in the palace for a long time and knows a lot of things about Han Chou, in fact, there is another person who not only understands Han Chou, but also is very likely to have direct contact with him, maybe he has some handle, if Your Majesty can ...... it"

"Don't say it, your method is really not suitable, think about it again."

"Yes, Your Majesty. It's really cold today, but this snow is really good, covered in silver, indicating the prosperity of Dachu. The king of the East Sea smiled and lowered the sedan curtain.

Han Ruzi understood who the King of the East China Sea was talking about.

Han Jie is an official in Luoyang, and he must have a backer in the capital, but ministers like Shen Mingzhi and other ministers just don't speak ill of him, and it is impossible to really protect him with all their might.

Han Chou's backer is bigger, he is skillful in trying to please the Empress Dowager Cining, obviously not the first time he has done this kind of thing, and it is very likely that he has also curried favor with another Empress Dowager before.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan has long faded out of Han Ruzi's sight, although according to the rules, he has to enter the palace at least once every five days to greet the two queen mothers, but the queen mother in his eyes is only his mother, and the other is no different from the statue.

The King of the East China Sea dragged the "statue" back to the emperor's eyes.

Her mother has always maintained a humble attitude towards the Empress Dowager Shangguan, but Han Ruzi is unwilling to bow to her former enemies, let alone ask her for help.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Shen Mingzhi and others first congratulated the Empress Dowager on the grand event, and then also praised Ruixue this morning, Han Ruzi cheered up and raised the appointment of the imperial history, he didn't say the candidate, let the prime minister draw up a list, he knew that Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry, would be among them.

Then he said that he was young, had not yet completed his studies, and still needed the teachings of the saints, so he had to find a qualified emperor. Similarly, he did not propose a candidate, and with Qu Zixi's qualifications and status, he must also be on the candidate list.

As Zhao Ruosu said, if you follow the rules, many things will be very simple, the monarch and the ministers have no dispute, the only drawback is that it is slow, it is obviously an inevitable thing, but the ministers of parliament are unwilling to say it immediately, but have to discuss it many times, and it will take three or five days to draw up the list.

Han Ruzi was not in a hurry, but he left earlier than usual, and he was going to visit the injured general Cui Hong in Cui Mansion with the queen.

Wang He, the deputy lieutenant of the army, insisted on staying with the emperor, although all the assassins had been caught, he still could not feel at ease, and still remembered the "people around the emperor", he did not believe that the previous captives were just bragging, and always felt that there was still a remnant to hide.
