The controversy between the outside world is still ongoing, and the Taifu Cui Hong, who was entrusted with the important task, resigned in every possible way, and the other ministers recommended it with all their might, as if there is no second person in the whole world who can compare with Cui Taifu.

The King of the East China Sea leaned sideways against the door, listened for a while, took a few steps back, touched his chin with his hand, frowned and pondered, "The Queen Mother's move is really insidious, on the surface, she is dealing with the King of Qi, but in fact, she wants to take the opportunity to squeeze my uncle out of the capital, so that the rest of the Cui family will become hostages at once, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "It's not killing two birds with one stone, I guess the Queen Mother is showing favor to Mrs. Cui and hoping to reconcile with him." ”

"Huh?" The King of the East China Sea squinted at Han Ruzi dissatisfiedly, "What do you know, the struggle for power is more fierce than the battlefield of real swords and real guns, the Cui family and the Shangguan family...... Forget it, you can't understand it, you don't even know what the Queen Mother looks like, but it's ridiculous to guess her thoughts here. ”

There was only a hidden door apart, and Han Ruzi really wanted to go out to see what the Queen Mother who decided his fate looked like, but he didn't move, he obeyed Yang Feng's instructions, listened more and said less, even if he was ridiculed by the king of the East China Sea, he didn't reply.

The controversy outside continued, the Queen Mother gave many favorable conditions, more troops, greater power, and even allowed Cui Hong to act arbitrarily in the Qi State, Cui Hong couldn't refrain anymore, but he could hear that he agreed very reluctantly, and he had a lot of doubts in his heart.

"How can my uncle agree?" The King of the East China Sea was anxious in the warm pavilion, pacing back and forth, "As soon as he leaves, the Queen Mother will attack the entire Cui clan, and it is useless to have more troops outside." No, I'll have to go out and warn him. ”

The king of the East China Sea pushed open a crack in the door, slipped out sideways, and closed the door casually, Han Ruzi only saw a crowd of people, but could not see the queen mother.

The crusade against Qi is not just as simple as appointing a general, is it a salute before the soldiers? Or do you drive straight into the palace city of King Qi? The ministers disagreed, and there were many details, such as which places to recruit troops, which of the local princes should be co-opted, which should be guarded, and so on.

Unfamiliar place names, official names, personal names and many past events came out one after another, Han Ruzi didn't have time to memorize it at all, and after listening to it for a while, he slowly sorted out his clue and had a superficial understanding of the Great Chu River.

It seems that the disaster was caused by Emperor Wu, he was very suspicious in his later years, unwilling to set up a prince, and at the same time gave almost every son a little hope, after Emperor Huan succeeded to the throne, this hope became the fire of rebellion, Emperor Huan has long wanted to solve this big trouble, but unfortunately there are too many things that need to be dealt with in just three years, and he has not been able to free his hands.

The content of the ministers' discussion became more and more trivial, Han Ruzi found a chair to sit down, thought for a while, and still felt that the Queen Mother was showing goodwill, rather than designing to frame the Cui family.

He felt a little dizzy, the task assigned by Yang Feng was too difficult, far beyond the limit of a thirteen-year-old boy. Han Ruzi closed his eyes and rested for a while, opened his eyes and looked at Meng E by the window, and smiled: "Are your injuries okay?" ”

Perhaps because of the presence of other people, Meng E was even more indifferent than usual, and waited for a while before reluctantly spitting out two words: "It's okay." ”

Han Ruzi took out a paper bag from his arms, spread it out on several cases, and inside was the osmanthus cake he specially left during dinner, picked up a piece himself, and said to Meng E and another palace maid: "You are also hungry." ”

Meng E looked away.

"You have to eat, too, the people outside are very busy, and they won't be able to think of it for a while, so it's okay to eat something to fill your stomach." Han Ruzi smiled at the palace maid in the corner.

Meng E was just about to open her mouth to speak, but another palace maid spoke first, her voice was heavy, it was really a man, it was probably a man who had not been purified, "Sister, don't listen to him, we are not from the palace, so we don't need to please the emperor." ”

"So you are brother and sister, what is your name?" Han Ruzi made up his mind to continue the conversation, and he had something to ask.

The man took half a step forward, his eyes cold, "Use your set on others, we don't get involved in the affairs of the palace." ”

"Aren't you protecting me?"

"We're just doing what we're told."

"On whose orders?"

The man took another half step forward, and Meng E by the window said, "He's still a child." ”

The man didn't think so, "Did you hear what the eunuch Yang Feng said, this is an ambitious child, a wolf who has not grown up, no different from other people in the palace, if he is in power, he will still be a faint king." ”

Meng E didn't speak again, Han Ruzi was very surprised, the Meng family brothers and sisters hated the palace so much, why did they enter the palace to serve as guards?

"I'm just a 'faint king' who wants to live." Han Ruzi was not angry, but admired Brother Meng E's straightforwardness, "Like you, I don't like the palace either, I would rather live in a poor street with my mother, if you can give me a choice, I will not hesitate to refuse to be the emperor." ”

Han Ruzi's words are not entirely sincere, he likes to be an emperor a little, but he has to be a real emperor, like now, he is in name only, and his life is in danger all the time, he is indeed more willing to go out of the palace to be a commoner.

"I was still learning the art of the emperor a moment ago, and I don't want to be an emperor now?" Brother Meng E looked at his sister, "The people in the palace are so treacherous, you must always be careful and never ......"

Someone pushed the door in, and Brother Meng E retreated to the wall and returned to the state of a living statue.

The king of the East China Sea saw the pastries on several cases at a glance, strode over, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "I'm starving to death, everyone is patronizing the crusade against the king of Qi, and forgetting about me, a serious prince." ”

"Did you talk to Mrs. Cui?" Han Ruzi asked.

The king of the East China Sea shook his head and swallowed the food in his mouth, "No need, I have a good relationship with my uncle, and he understands it with a look, and now he is proposing conditions to the Queen Mother, and wants my uncle to take risks, it's okay, but don't think about any 'diverting the tiger from the mountain', even if the tiger leaves the mountain, the mountain is also the tiger's territory." ”

The voice outside was much quieter, and it was no longer clear to hear, Han Ruzi imagined the situation outside, and said to the king of the East China Sea: "You should let your uncle take Liu Jie away." ”

"Liu Jie? He's dead, what to take him for? You don't understand this kind of thing, don't mess around. The king of the East China Sea shook the teapot on the case, found that it was empty, and said to the two silent palace maids: "It seems that it is impossible to let you do some work, tsk, where did the queen mother find the people?" Is...... Independent specialty. ”

Han Ruzi approached the King of the East China Sea, "You go outside to ask for a pot of tea, just say it's for me, and then tell your uncle with your eyes, and ask the Queen Mother for Liu Jie and the assassin accomplices, and take them to the Kingdom of Qi to confront the King of Qi." ”

The King of the East China Sea looked the emperor up and down, "You are crazy, I really want me to do such a thing when I am an entourage?" The Cui family will not lose ground, and it will definitely be us who will win in the end. ”

"The Queen Mother and Mrs. Cui are suspicious of each other, and the longer the stalemate continues, the more unfavorable it will be to both parties......"

"It is the Queen Mother who should give in!" The King of the East China Sea said angrily, regardless of the presence of the two palace maids, "She is threatening the whole world, if my uncle didn't give in at the beginning, the Queen Mother would kill both of us, giving the King of Qi a reason to rebel." She's already succeeded once, and wants to do it again? No, absolutely not this time. ”

"The Queen Mother will give in, the Queen Mother was empty before, so she used the whole world as a threat, and now she has the world in her hands and will not take any more risks. As long as she agreed to hand over Liu Jie and his assassin accomplices to Cui Taifu, it showed that she was giving in. ”

The East Sea King's brows furrowed more and more, and he looked at the emperor again, "What did someone say to you?" ”

"Nope." Having said that, Han Ruzi glanced at Brother Meng E in the corner, "The assassination is full of suspicions, and now that the assassin has committed suicide, only a few accomplices and Liu Jie, the middle palm seal, are still there, who is in control of them......"

"Whoever is free to explain the stabbing incident." The King of the East China Sea finally came to his senses, "If the Queen Mother refuses to hand over her fellow assassins, it means that she really wants to put my uncle and the King of Qi to death, then she will simply break the net, if she hands it over, my uncle has a handle in his hand, well......"

The king of the East Sea stared at the emperor, as if he wanted to pull out his heart with his gaze, suddenly turned around and walked to the door, slipped out sideways, and a eunuch glanced through the crack in the door into the warm pavilion and closed the door.

Taifu Cui Hong's voice happened to come from outside, "The country of Qi has a large number of troops, and with only the garrisons of the counties in the eastern part of the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win, and it will bring shame to the imperial court......"

Cui Hong still refuses to take office immediately, looking for all kinds of reasons to delay time, as the two major relatives of the family, the Cui family and the Shangguan family are too jealous of each other, and it is difficult to gain mutual trust, but Han Ruzi, who stayed in the warm pavilion to listen, can see it more clearly: the Shangguan family and the Cui family have maintained a balance, although they are fragile, they will not break for a while, and the uncontrolled Qi country, which is thousands of miles away, is the biggest threat facing both sides.

After all, Han Ruzi didn't know the Queen Mother's personality, maybe she just wanted to solve the internal worries Cui and the external troubles King Qi at the same time, but Han Ruzi had to make this assumption, because he still wanted to save the life of Liu Jie, the middle palm seal.

"Sometimes treacherous is to save people." Han Ruzi said to Brother Meng E.

If Liu Jie goes to prison normally, he will definitely die, and if he is transferred to Cui Hong to become a handle, he may be able to live for a while, Han Ruzi can only do this, Yang Feng warned him not to interfere, but he felt that if he didn't do something for Liu Jie, he would not only be uneasy, but also more trapped within ten steps.

Brother Meng E shook his head, "I've seen a lot of ways to buy people's hearts, you are still too tender, even if Liu Jie escapes, it is not you who are thanked." ”

"I don't expect to be grateful, it's just ...... My mother once said to me, 'Life is never good, and if you accept your fate, it will be even worse.' Even though I lived in a very small house, my mother wouldn't let me be idle, and I think I got used to it, and I had to do something anyway. ”

Brother Meng E looked at his sister and reminded: "Be careful, it is not Liu Jie who the emperor wants to buy, it is you and me." ”

Han Ruzi smiled, the frankness and straightforwardness here contrasted sharply with the suspicion and temptation outside.

The King of the East China Sea came back, his face sank like water, and Han Ruzi was shocked, "Can't you talk to Mrs. Cui?" Or does the Queen Mother disagree? ”

"My uncle knew what I wanted to say as soon as he saw the shape of my mouth, and the Queen Mother agreed." The expression of the East Sea King became more and more gloomy.

The King of the East China Sea was moody, and Han Ruzi didn't care, but this time it was different, the King of the East China Sea approached and whispered, "You want to have a queen." ”

"What?" Han Ruzi was really taken aback.

"My uncle's daughter is going to enter the palace to be the queen." The East Sea King's face became redder and redder, "She was supposed to marry me, you bastard!" ”
