Han Ruzi opened his eyes and looked at the familiar Cui Xiaojun, in the haze, it was a slightly undulating silhouette, only the tip of his nose was slightly clear, Han Ruzi stretched out his arm, wanting to touch it gently, but in the end, he smiled, quietly got out of bed, and prepared for the day's work. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has a lot to do.

The imperial court has accumulated a large number of chapters, which must be approved one by one, like a mountain, waiting for the emperor to be leveled alone, because the throne has not been officially restored, and there is no treasure seal in his hand, Han Ruzi cannot officially approve the chapters, but it can be reviewed in advance.

Lingyun Pavilion has almost become a warehouse, full of boxes and stacks of papers, each of which has a copy in the corresponding ministry yamen, and it is well documented, if the emperor wants to be lazy to hide a few, he will soon be discovered.

One of the responsibilities of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Qinzheng Palace is to help the emperor deal with the chapters, and Han Ruzi hopes to understand the situation in various places before the imperial court resumes operation, so he has not resumed the Qinzheng Palace, and as for the Prime Minister's Mansion, it has been paralyzed for a long time and cannot play its due role.

Han Ruzi did not look aimlessly, and ordered the Zhongshu Province to gather together the pieces about the disaster situation in various places, and he should read them first.

The situation was not too good, and the more Han Ruzi looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

When it was dawn outside, Zhang Youcai extinguished the candles, and after the emperor put down a piece of music, he said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast." ”

Han Ruzi nodded, indicating that he was dining in Lingyun Pavilion, raising his eyes and looking out the window, there was already a bit of spring in the garden, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was forced to study, a smile appeared on his face, and then said to Zhang Youcai: "The grandson of the Du family has left the capital, have you heard?" ”

"Well, Du Chuanyun asked Brother Cai to send me a letter and said...... said when he was bored in the palace, he went to play with him, as long as the word 'Du Chuanyun' was mentioned in the rivers and lakes, no one would know that he would definitely be able to find him. ”

Han Ruzi laughed, and when he heard this, this was Du Chuanyun's arrogant tone, "It's a pity that they refuse to stay, I just want to reuse them." ”

The food had already been prepared, Han Ruzi went to the next room to eat, and when he had eaten about the same, Zhang Youcai continued what he said just now: "The Du family's grandsons, especially Du Chuanyun, are really hard to use. ”

Han Ruzi's thoughts had already turned to other things, and he was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Why?" ”

"Both of them are unruly, once or twice, and every time they do this, Your Majesty will be embarrassed and let them go, and the others will not follow the rules and will not let them go - so it is better for them to walk the rivers and lakes."

Han Ruzi was stunned, there are really people in this world who he wants to use but can't, Yang Feng may be right, the emperor must understand what things he can't do, but instead of giving up, he bypasses "can't" and uses "can" to achieve his goals.

A eunuch hurriedly ran up, knelt on the ground, and presented a document with both hands, interrupting the emperor's thoughts, "The military department is in a hurry." ”

The document had been opened, and the military department had obviously read it, and felt that the hundred thousand was urgent, so it was stamped and sent directly to the palace, instead of being handed in step by step according to the normal procedure.

Han Ruzi glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly, "Go to the Qinzheng Palace." ”

Although the emperor did not come, the ministers of the Qinzheng Palace could not be absent from work, and they had to come over every morning to say hello and say a few kind words to each other, and then go back to the office of the government.

Yin Wuwu has been seriously ill, Han Xing and Cui Hong are outside, so the Qinzheng Hall has become deserted, only the right patrol Yu Shi Shen Mingzhi, the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Feng Ju and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yuan Jiuding are three, Yuan Jiuding is particularly embarrassed, he is the Queen Mother elected to the Qinzheng Palace, now the Queen Mother has lost power, his position has become very dangerous, he can't help but come to the Qinzheng Palace, and he doesn't dare to act as he should be, every time he guards the door like a punished station, and anyone can blow him out in one breath.

Han Ruzi issued several orders on the road, summoning Jiang Juying, the secretary of the military department, Cui Hong, the great Sima of the Southern Army, and Chai Yue and Liu Kunsheng, the generals of the Northern Army, to come to the Qinzheng Hall together.

The large camps of the southern and northern armies were outside the city, the generals came slowly, and the military department was closer, earlier than the emperor arrived.

The news has spread, the general Han Xing has been defeated, and Hangu Pass has been taken by Shangguan Sheng.

Han Ruzi couldn't understand how this kind of thing could happen, Han Xing had tens of thousands of troops, and he had the strength of the city and the advantages of the terrain, and in the face of Shangguan Sheng, who only had thousands of remnants, there was no reason for a big defeat.

As soon as he walked into the Qinzheng Palace, the four ministers present and several officials of Zhongshu Province immediately knelt down, and Han Ruzi waved his hand to signal them to get up, strode forward, and did not sit on the throne on the side, but stood in front of the table and said to Jiang Juying: "Give me an explanation." ”

The four ministers looked at each other, the position of the emperor usually belonged to the prime minister, he stood there is a little unusual, but no one dared to squeak, Jiang Juying, the secretary of the military department, especially did not dare, he was once instructed by the champion Hou to openly confront the tired Hou at that time, and reaped a fiasco.

When the champion Hou finally got into trouble, Jiang Juying didn't follow, but after all, there was a stain on his body, and he was very scared, as soon as he heard the emperor's question, he immediately knelt down, "...... minister"

"Get up and speak." Han Ruzi said.

Jiang Juying got up, didn't do anything, he was already sweating profusely, and glanced at the right patrol imperial Shi Shen Mingzhi, and felt a little relieved, "The front line is chaotic, the first letter was sent by Shang County, it may be a mistake, wait a little longer, there will be more accurate news......"

"Well, you can wait, but you can't wait, no matter what the reason, if the general is defeated and Hangu Pass is lost, how should the imperial court respond?"

Several ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and they all hope that the other party will speak first.

Yang Feng walked in and stood behind the emperor, he was not a minister of parliament, so he didn't need to be reported.

Jiang Juying is the secretary of the Ministry of War, so he can only speak first, "According to the minister's humble opinion, even if Shangguan Sheng wins, it is a fluke, there is no need for the court to make a big move, and after a little vacation, the general will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory." ”

Shen Mingzhi and Feng Ju both supported the views of the military department Shangshu, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yuan Jiuding snorted a few times, and he was not even sure that he was qualified to stand here, until the emperor's eyes looked at him, he said, "General...... Will be able to ...... Turn the table. ”

Han Ruzi didn't listen very carefully, he knew that the intelligence of these ministers was not in the war, and he would definitely not be able to come up with good ideas, he just used the time of the four of them to talk and recall the pieces he had read.

Chai Yue and Liu Kunsheng, the captain of the Northern Army, arrived, and on the way they had heard the news of the defeat of Hangu Pass, and after paying homage, Chai Yue immediately said: "There must be something abnormal in Hangu Pass, either the news is false, or there is something wrong with the general himself." ”

In the ears of the ministers, "something went wrong" had another meaning, and Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry, said in surprise: "No, the general is an important minister of the clan, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court......

Chai Yue explained: "I mean that the general may die unexpectedly, giving Shangguan Sheng an opportunity to take advantage of. ”

Han Xing is not young, and there is indeed a possibility of sudden death, but the timing is too coincidental.

Chai Yue continued: "Without further ado, the imperial court should immediately send a general to the east, and there is still a chance to gather defeated troops and recapture Hangu Pass." ”

Han Ruzi had already made a choice, it was Chai Yue himself, and he was about to speak, when Yang Feng behind him gently kicked the emperor's heel.

Han Ruzi immediately understood Yang Feng's intentions, Chai Yue was just a "general" in the emperor's mind, for the people of the world, Chai Yue's position, reputation and prestige were not high enough, and it was difficult for him to gather Han Xing's old department by going east.

He retracted the appointment on his lips and said: "If Shangguan Sheng really captures Hangu Pass and holds it, it will not be a big problem, and if he takes it back, I am only worried about one thing: the disaster in Kanto is serious, the grain relief is too late, and the implementation is not effective, since the beginning of spring, the number of displaced people will inevitably increase, and if Shangguan Sheng is in the same stream with thieves from all over the country, it will be a big trouble." ”

Han Ruzi once tried every means to let various places open warehouses and release grain, but the music he saw in the past few days showed that his efforts were only partially successful.

The more serious the disaster, the more reluctant the officials are to open the warehouse, fearing that there will be not enough food, which will eventually lead to greater chaos.

Han Ruzi had long wanted to reissue the holy decree, but without the "holy decree" of the treasure seal, the officials in the capital could admit it, and if it was sent outside the capital, the effect would be weakened, and whether to believe or not to believe it would become the choice of local officials.

Shen Mingzhi suggested that the Hubu Shangshu and Zuocha Yushi Xiaosheng should also be called.

The two arrived quickly, especially Xiao Sheng, who seemed to be waiting outside the gate, arriving as soon as he called, and his attitude was much more positive than the others.

Facts show that ministers are not stupid, and when they think hard, they can still come up with good ideas, "The top priority is to announce to the world: Great Chu has set things right, His Majesty has returned to the supreme, the court is stable, and the army and the people are united." Shangguan was rebellious and hijacked the children of the clan, and everyone was punished, he had no way to escape, and he would inevitably be scattered. ”

The head of the household arrived a little later, did not put forward any opinions, but confirmed the emperor's speculation, the situation in the Kanto region is not optimistic, the number of displaced people is indeed decreasing, but it is extremely unstable, these people have no land to plant, once the spring ploughing season has passed, it is found that it is still difficult to have a harvest this year, and it is likely to turn into displaced people again.

Cui Taifu came the latest, changed his mind several times on the way, and finally came, and made up his mind that if the emperor wanted to send himself to quell the chaos again, he would refuse no matter what, unless his daughter Cui Xiaojun gave birth to a prince, Cui Hong would not feel safe.

Cui Hong even thought of the reason, but the emperor did not send him troops.

It was almost noon, not long after Cui Taifu arrived, the news of Hangu Pass came one after another, and it was directly sent to the Qinzheng Palace, and the military department opened the book and read it out in front of the emperor.

Chai Yue guessed correctly, General Han Xing did have an accident, but it was not a death, his health has always been good, and there is no illness or disaster.

Han Xing was assassinated, the timing was just right, it was when the two armies were about to start a war, the Chu army had no owner, so it was in chaos, giving Shangguan Sheng the opportunity to win more with less, and now he has occupied Hangu Pass, and his next move is unknown.

Han Ruzi couldn't help but turn around and glance at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng just got the news yesterday that the Meng brothers and sisters and a dozen guards ran all the way east and disappeared near Hangu Pass. (To be continued.) )
