Meng E habitually stood in the corner, and Han Ruzi asked, "Where is the book?" ”

Meng E didn't ask what the book was, and thought for a while, "Well, do you want it now?" ”

"Tomorrow. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "Han Ruzi is not interested in reading again, with Zhao Ruosu's rigor, he will never be mistaken, let alone make up such an easy story to be debunked in front of the emperor, "You went out of the house two nights?" ”

Meng E thought for a while, "Yes." It turned out that because of this, why didn't they just ask me? ”

"Because they don't believe in you as much as I do."

Meng E was silent for a little longer, "I'll go find my brother." ”

"He's coming to the capital too?"

"That's what I guessed."

"Found it?"

"Nope."

"What if you find it?"

"Persuade him to leave."

"What if he refuses?"

"I haven't thought that far ahead."

"Next year, the imperial court will attack Yunmengze, and in three years at the latest, it will start a war against the bandits in the East China Sea, not far at all."

Meng E was silent and refused to answer any further.

Han Ruzi sighed lightly, "You can't be a guard anymore." ”

Meng E nodded, "I understand." ”

"Give you two choices: either stay by my side and not be allowed to leave at will without permission, or go to Yunmengze to be Yang Feng's subordinate, and come back after making meritorious contributions."

There is another choice that Han Ruzi didn't say, and that is to leave forever.

"Let me think about it." Meng E said flatly.

Han Ruzi nodded, knowing that she wouldn't make a decision soon, so she said, "You stay tonight and rest." ”

There are a lot of things tomorrow, Han Ruzi fell asleep quickly, but he didn't sleep steadily, I don't know how long it was, he suddenly woke up, but he didn't open his eyes, he could detect that someone was standing on the edge of the couch.

He breathed normally, and was very sure that there was a hand under his nostrils, and slowly, that hand moved under his face, caressing it very lightly, like a gust of wind that rolled up inexplicably in summer, without a reason, without a destination, suddenly and fleetingly.

He felt the urge to open his mouth and bite the hand.

But the hand was withdrawn, and the man departed.

Han Ruzi didn't move, he didn't speak, for such a short moment, he felt that he was not the emperor, just Han Ruzi, and he wanted to ask Meng E, did he understand what the phrase "stay by his side" meant? He didn't just want her to stay as a personal guard.

Slowly, he fell asleep again, and the scene became part of the dream, and when he woke up the next day, he still remembered every feeling, but he couldn't tell whether it was a real illusion.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Han Ruzi told the prime minister and others that he would send Xuanyi envoys to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to hunt down the Yunmengze assassins who had infiltrated the capital.

The ministers certainly had no opinion on the safety of the emperor, but they showed a little surprise, surprised that the emperor was getting closer and closer to the court, and at the same time they were happy.

Han Ruzi also asked the prime minister to send a letter to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, asking why the yamen did not find out the circumstances of the arrest of the Rongbao Inn and report it to the next level.

Zhao Ruosu is right, you can't let the local officials think that the people around the emperor can't be touched, as soon as this wind opens, it is the emperor himself who will be damaged in the end.

The Wang family is getting closer and closer to the capital, and Shen Mingzhi has already sent officials to greet him, so there is no need for the emperor to worry.

Back at the Tired Hou Mansion, Jin Chunzhong had already received the appointment of the Xuanyi envoy and came to thank him, and at the same time he also wanted to report the situation in the past two days, "Ma Mu has no more confessions, he has entered Beijing this time to be on standby, and he has not yet received instructions from Yun Mengze." The 'Yunxiong' who connected with him has not yet been found, and many merchants have seen him, but he disappeared five or six days ago without greeting anyone, and I guess he has probably found a safer place to hide. ”

After becoming the Xuanyi Emissary, Jin Chunzhong will be able to use the power of the entire Jingzhao Yin Mansion to track down the assassin's whereabouts, and Han Ruzi believes that he will not disappoint his expectations, and asks, "When did you learn the method of interrogation?" ”

"When I was a child, I used to learn from an old official in the Criminal Department, and it was just for fun at that time, but I didn't expect to be able to use it in the future."

There is one thing that Han Ruzi must ask in advance: "After this matter, are you willing to be an official?" ”

Officials usually specialize in one position, and there will be very few changes, so the road to promotion will soon reach the top, generally the head of the department, such as the grace of God, may be a squire, a higher-grade official, need to be a scholar, but also need to have the experience of taking turns as an official in each department, it is difficult for officials to meet the conditions.

Therefore, the sons and daughters of the nobles are reluctant to be officials, preferring to take idle positions.

There was once a noble son who refused the emperor's kindness, so Han Ruzi had to ask first.

Jin Chunzhong is not so picky, "As long as you serve Your Majesty, Weichen has no regrets." ”

Han Ruzi smiled and asked Jin Chunzhong to step down, for him, being the crown prince and the emperor should be done at the same time, although it is a little late, he also has to train his ministers, for any emperor who wants to achieve something, this is the top priority.

Feng Ju, the secretary of the ministry, came to listen to the emperor's "small council", there are still not many people who came today, and the discussion is still about suppressing bandits and bandits, Feng Ju cautiously spoke less, and only said a few ambiguous words when the emperor called his name, here he is an outsider and needs more observation.

But the emperor paid special attention to him that afternoon, and asked him for advice several times, "Da Chu fought a lot of battles when he was Emperor Wu, and the gap was less than ten years, where are all the generals who can fight?" Why is it always these people who are recommended by the Ministry of War? ”

Feng Ju became more and more cautious, and replied: "The minister doesn't know about military affairs, Jiang Shangshu of the military department should know more, do you want to pass him on?" ”

"No, it's just small talk. Lord Feng, this is not the Qinzheng Palace, don't be too restrained, no one will record what you say here, and it won't become a holy decree. Han Ruzi said with a smile.

"Yes, the minister has just arrived, and he hasn't kept up with everyone's train of thought." Feng Ju also replied with a smile, looking like he didn't plan to relax.

The king of the East China Sea had received the emperor's prompt beforehand, and then said with a smile: "Isn't the ministry in charge of all the officials in the world?" The general is also an official, Feng Shangshu should know a little about it, right? ”

Feng Ju didn't expect that he would be so valued, and Zhengse said: "The officials are mainly civilian officials, and the military generals are appointed by the Ministry of War, and they are only filed in the Ministry of Officials. ”

"That's okay, Your Majesty said, we're just chatting, Master Feng can say something if he understands." The King of the East Sea continued.

The emperor also seemed very interested, Feng Ju had no choice but to say: "Or Lord Jiang of the military department knows the situation better...... Let it be difficult for you. As far as the minister knows, there were indeed many famous generals during Emperor Wu's time, some of them unfortunately died early, such as General Deng Liao and Deng, some of them were too old and returned to their hometowns normally, and some ...... Belch...... And some ......"

Feng Ju swallowed, and the King of the East China Sea smiled: "Lord Feng bullied His Majesty and us people who are young and careless, so we have to check the official documents in the past?" ”

Feng Ju laughed embarrassedly, "Emperor Wu got rid of some generals in his later years, and the first emperor ...... Get rid of some too. ”

"Even if Emperor Wu is gone, why does the first emperor have to do this?" The king of the East China Sea was a little surprised, he had been preparing to succeed to the throne in the early years, but he didn't live in the palace, and he didn't know much about his father Emperor Huan's deeds.

"This ...... When the first emperor was there, Dachu did not have so many worries, especially the Huns, it seemed that they would not cause trouble for a while, the first emperor probably thought that the military generals were easy to make trouble, so he put some people in prison, and persuaded many people to return to their hometowns, but this is just the words of the minister's family, and these things still have to be said by the military department. ”

Emperor Huan could not have imagined that Da Chu would suddenly become crumbling, and he did not leave behind a military general who could help his son defend the country.

"Lord Feng served as the secretary of the Ministry when Emperor Wu was the emperor, right?" Han Ruzi asked in person.

"The thirty-eighth year of Emperor Wu." Feng Ju breathed a sigh of relief, in the imperial court, answering questions for other ministers was always a difficulty, full of pitfalls.

"Among the six Shangshu, who else served when Emperor Wu served?"

Feng Ju thought for a moment, "They all served when Emperor Wu served. ”

Han Ruzi was a little surprised, according to Zhao Ruosu, in the first few years of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he should start arranging the new prime minister, and the first step is to send this person to the household department as a waiter, could it be that Emperor Huan didn't promote his own people to Shangshu for four years? Patience is too good.

"Heh, it's been long enough." The East Sea King interjected.

Feng Ju's face changed slightly, thinking that there was a deep meaning in his words, and the King of the East China Sea hurriedly smiled: "The longer the better, the court is stable, and the Great Chu can also be stable, I understand the intention of the first emperor, I must think that Emperor Wu has arranged everything, and the children and grandchildren of future generations will sit back and enjoy his achievements." ”

Feng Ju was even more embarrassed, "Not really, the first emperor once changed two Shangshu, and then probably felt that it was inappropriate, and changed back to the original person." ”

"Which two?" The King of the East China Sea pretended not to see Feng Ju's embarrassment.

"It should be the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, I don't remember very clearly, let me go back and check......"

"No need, but those generals who were idle at home during the first emperor should compile a list, and maybe there are people available." Han Ruzi didn't want to ask too closely.

"The order of the first emperor, it's not easy to disobey, right?" Feng Ju reminded carefully.

"The times are changing, and on the occasion of employing people, if the first emperor is here, he will also re-enable the old generals. Lord Feng, help me remember this matter and discuss it with Jiang Bingbu tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At the end of the discussion, Feng Ju said goodbye, and sent someone to inform Jiang Juying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, that night, that he had already prepared, and His Majesty was still more interested in military generals.

Han Ruzi didn't let the King of the East China Sea continue to ask, because he had other ideas, and after Jiang Juying left, he said to the King of the East China Sea: "The Hanlin Academy is compiling the records of Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan, the former has a first draft, and the latter should be about the same, you go and borrow a copy of it, or copy a few pages, and the appointment and dismissal of each book will be known at a glance." ”

"No problem, but Your Majesty has to give me a holy decree, at least a handwritten decree, or someone will be blamed for me."

The King of the East Sea had made a contribution to the capture of the assassins, but Jing Zhaoyin, who had not reported the matter afterwards, was questioned, and he did not dare to act at will now.

Han Ruzi smiled and wrote an edict and asked a eunuch to follow the king of the East China Sea to borrow the first draft of the Huan Emperor Ji.

Cui Teng found all kinds of excuses to stay for a while, and when the King of the East China Sea and the others were gone, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have to say one more thing, although the assassin was brought into Beijing by Yan Pengshi, and although Yan Pengshi lives in my house, the Cui family has nothing to do with the assassin at all. ”

"If I don't believe in the Cui family, I won't let you enter the mansion." Han Ruzi said flatly.

Cui Teng laughed a few times, "Yes, Yes, Your Majesty has no reason not to trust the Cui family." But Your Majesty can't be too gullible, such as the King of the East China Sea, how could he catch the assassin so coincidentally? The mad monk who provided the information said that he disappeared and disappeared, and there was not even a witness. ”

"If you have evidence, I'm willing to hear it, and if it's just speculation, you'd better be cautious and don't let me be distracted by this kind of thing."

Cui Teng's face turned red, he muttered a few words, and had already said his farewell, and suddenly asked again: "Your Majesty doesn't plan to use Yan Pengshi anymore?" ”

"How do you say such a thing?"

"If Your Majesty is satisfied with Yan Pengshi, why do you have to find a veteran who the first emperor persuaded to retire?"

"Go, nosy!" Han Ruzi reprimanded, and Cui Teng retreated in disagreement.

After dinner, Han Ruzi came to the study, Meng E was already waiting here, changed out of the guard's men's clothes, put on the clothes of an ordinary palace maid, and said, "I am willing to stay by Your Majesty's side." After a pause, he added: "Just be a palace maid, and when I want to leave one day, please don't obstruct it." ”

"Hmm." (To be continued.) )
