"The emperor is always alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although Han Ruzi often recited this sentence, it was the first time that he said it to outsiders.

Meng E on the other side hummed softly and nodded again.

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, knowing that Meng E didn't fully understand, "Yang Feng once said to me that there is too much information, it is better to know nothing. ”

"It's kind of weird, like he said it."

"But the vast majority of people in the world suffer from too little information, and only a very small number of people, especially the emperor, can appreciate the harm of too much information." Han Ruzi glanced at the recitals stacked on the table, which was the emperor's main source of information, and it was also the minister's main means of "deceiving" the emperor.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan has not participated in government affairs for a long time, but after all, she has been in charge of the imperial court, and she has fought openly and secretly with the ministers, there have been successes and failures, and when Han Ruzi was still in the dark, she had already seen that the ministers were winning.

If it weren't for the threat herself, the Empress Dowager Shangguan would prefer to stand by coldly, yesterday, she said it all: "Your Majesty thinks that the prime minister is his cronies, but in fact, the prime minister is a minister's person, Zhuo Ruhe can successfully become the prime minister, there is only one reason, he has won the recognition and support of other ministers." ”

Han Ruzi was once again encircled, and this time the enemy was not the Hun cavalry, but his own people.

"When Taizu was fighting for the world, he was brave and fearless, and he escaped every time he was at a critical moment, and the history books said that Taizu was protected by the gods, and he was the emperor of the Mandate of Heaven. Yang Feng said that the reason why Taizu was brave was only because he knew nothing, and he could only act on his whims, and the reason why he succeeded was by luck. ”

Meng E waited for a while and said, "According to me, it's not all luck, if another person is in the critical situation of Taizu, he may have panicked a long time ago, where did he get the inspiration?" ”

Han Ruzi said with a smile: "That's right, you must not panic, no matter how much information you have, no matter how contradictory you are, you must be calm, and most importantly, you have to do something, you would rather do something wrong than not do it." ”

"Shouldn't the emperor rule by doing nothing?" Meng E herself didn't believe in this kind of thing, she just wanted to bring it up and listen to the emperor's thoughts, after all, this was the ancestral training of the emperors of the Great Chu dynasties.

"Wu Wei...... Inaction, of course. ”

There was a knock on the door outside, and the eunuch Zhang Youcai walked in, since Tong Qing'e gave birth to the prince, he returned to the emperor's side, "Your Majesty, Jing Yao is here." ”

Han Ruzi straightened his face and nodded, indicating that he could bring it in.

Jing Yao entered the house and knocked on it, and noticed that there were outsiders in the corner, so he didn't dare to turn his head to look.

"Jing Gong has worked hard." Han Ruzi said.

"To be able to serve His Majesty, no matter how hard it is, it is worth it." Jing Yao was overjoyed.

"Jing Gong has done a lot of things for me, and he deserves to be rewarded for his hard work."

Jing Yao kowtowed, "The old slave doesn't ask for rewards, but only for His Majesty's well-being." ”

Jing Yao was face down, and he couldn't see the smile that flashed on the emperor's face.

"There are vacancies in the palace, but I don't think that Jinggong may be willing to go back to the old place."

Jing Yao immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's words, Liu Jie did a good job in the position of the central eunuch, it was impossible to change people, and Jing Yao could only be placed under the emperor when he returned to the palace.

"Old slave...... It's really reluctant, but everything is up to His Majesty, and the old slave is not picky. ”

"Well, well, I need someone like you. Shaofu lacks a visiting envoy, can Jing Gong be interested? ”

Jing Yao was stunned, the Shaofu visiting envoy was not a big official, he was specifically responsible for going to various places to supervise the royal industry, but he was short of fat and had a lot of oil and water, but staying away from the emperor meant staying away from power.

"Your Majesty......" Jing Yao's voice trembled, thinking that he had been expelled.

Han Ruzi leaned forward slightly, and said, "The visiting envoy is just to facilitate Jing Gong's departure from Beijing, and I have other responsibilities for you." ”

Jing Yao was overjoyed, the emperor sat on the world, and the entire court served him, but he handed over "other duties" to himself, which was a great trust, and also showed that his accusation against the Empress Dowager Shangguan was recognized, and he immediately kowtowed and thanked him, "The old slave is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

"Flat."

Jing Yao kowtowed again and got up to look at the emperor.

Han Ruzi beckoned and asked Jing Yao to take a few steps closer, "The first task, ask Jing Gong to find Yang Feng's family." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave has not given up searching, but there are not many clues, if Shangguan ......"

Han Ruzi shook his head and said that he didn't want to mention the Empress Dowager Shangguan, "I'm thinking, Yang Feng must have written a letter to his wife, and there is no one, since this is the case, there must be someone to deliver the letter, you can find it." ”

"Your Majesty." Jing Yao had actually thought of it a long time ago, but he never found the messenger.

"The second mission is to get the king back."

Jing Yao had to kneel down again, looking for Yang Feng's family was just the emperor's private matter, but finding Emperor Wu's youngest son was a serious matter.

Han Ruzi raised his hand to stop Jing Yao from kneeling, "How can the children of the clan be exiled in the rivers and lakes and make the world laugh?" Jing Gong, please take this matter to heart, ask someone to give people, ask for money to give money, and be sure to find the king. ”

"After all, the King of England has been away for a long time, in case of ......" Jing Yao stared at the emperor, seeking a hint, whether the King of England is dead or alive depends on the emperor's words.

"Whatever, your mission is to bring the King back alive, understand?" Han Ruzi was a little stern.

Jing Yao understood, "Yes, the old slave will start to do it immediately. ”

"Well, step down, tomorrow you will receive the order, and you will be able to go to Shaofu on the same day."

Jing Yao exited the room, half sad and half happy in his heart, thinking that he had seen the emperor through, but then he felt that his previous guess was all wrong.

In the room, Han Ruzi said to Meng E: "Jing Yao, who has a ghost in his heart, works harder, so let him always be pregnant." ”

Meng E's eyes widened slightly, and she quickly nodded her head to show that she had come to her senses.

The Empress Dowager Shangguan guessed that it was Jing Yao who accused herself, and in turn accused Jing Yao of using the emperor to avenge her personal revenge, and Han Ruzi, who was caught in the middle, did not want to become a tool of either party.

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You can declare the East Sea King and Cui Teng." ”

Meng E walked to the door and passed the emperor's will to the eunuchs outside, who soon brought the two of them.

The King of the East China Sea, Cui Teng and a group of noble attendants were guarding under the Lingyun attic, and they came with the rumors.

In front of the emperor, these two people were much more comfortable than Jing Yao, and the king of the East China Sea glanced at Meng E, a little surprised, because Meng E did not often appear in Lingyun Pavilion, but Cui Teng didn't care, and saluted the emperor with a smile.

Han Ruzi looked at the King of the East China Sea and did not speak.

The King of the East China Sea smiled: "What did Your Majesty forget? ”

Han Ruzi said: "I am thinking, one of you is a prince, my brother, the other is the son of the Taifu and the younger brother of the queen, it is really inappropriate to be a close servant, what officials do you want to be?" ”

The two said in unison: "I don't want to be an official, I just want to stay by Your Majesty's side." ”

"Rules are rules, and with the two of you, it is not suitable to be a close servant for a long time. King of the East China Sea, if you don't want to be an official, you can only go back to the East China Sea, Cui Teng, you are the same, if you are not an official, you will be an idle marquis, and live your life of spending all day and wine. ”

The two froze, and Cui Teng spoke first: "That...... I have no choice but to be an official, do I really have the choice? I don't deserve to be a petty official. ”

The king of the East China Sea said: "I don't want to go to the East China Sea Kingdom, as long as I can stay in the capital and follow His Majesty's arrangement, the official position doesn't matter how big or small." ”

"I don't care." Cui Teng hurriedly added.

"The Great Sima of the Su Guard Army has been vacant for a long time, can the King of the East China Sea be interested?"

The rank of the Great Sima of the Suwei Army is higher than that of the Great Sima of the Southern and Northern Armies, and he is second only to the general of the Zhengyi rank in the military rank, and it is far worse when it comes to actual power.

The King of the East China Sea was not surprised, with his identity and past experience, he could only hold a high-ranking position, so he knelt down to thank him.

Cui Teng also knelt down, saying that he didn't want to be an official, but at this time, he looked at the emperor expectantly.

"You go and be the deputy of the King of the East China Sea, General Long Xiang of the Su Guard."

"Huh?" Cui Teng was disappointed, he didn't want to live directly under the King of the East China Sea, "I don't care about the big and small officials, please ask Your Majesty to change places for me." ”

"What I have given you is a holy decree, not a consultation." Han Ruzi has always been unkind to Cui Teng.

Cui Teng didn't dare to say anything more, and thanked him very reluctantly, "When you become General Long Xiang, can you still come to see Your Majesty from time to time?" ”

"Since you are the official of the guard, of course you can."

Cui Teng was finally a little happier.

The two of them retreated together, and when they went downstairs, Cui Teng whispered to the King of the East China Sea: "Don't be complacent, if you bully others and press down from above, I won't bear it." ”

The King of the East China Sea smiled bitterly: "Bullying? It is you, not me. Don't you understand? Your Majesty, this is asking you to spy on me. ”

Cui Teng was stunned, and immediately didn't feel aggrieved, "Then I have to watch it closely, you kid don't want to escape my eyes." ”

The King of the East China Sea shook his head with a smile, but he was uneasy in his heart, thinking that the emperor had seen something.

In the room, Han Ruzi explained to Meng E again: "Cui Teng is staring at the King of the East China Sea, and the King of the East Sea is staring at the Empress Dowager Shangguan, maybe there will be less right and wrong." ”

"Your Majesty is not going to punish anyone?" Meng E became more and more surprised, what the Empress Dowager Shangguan did was the crime of exterminating the clan, and the King of the East China Sea and Jing Yao also had the intention of bullying the king, and the emperor actually let them go.

"Wait." Han Ruzi said coldly, the Empress Dowager Shangguan has no clan to destroy, and the crimes of the King of the East China Sea and Jing Yao are not big or small, and if they are really discussed, they cannot be punished multiple times.

The Emperor had to close one eye and at the same time open the other wider.

The next person who was summoned was Zhao Ruosu, who was as respectful as usual.

Meng E was a little curious, Zhao Ruosu was the one who leaked the emperor's thoughts to the minister, anyone would hate this practice, could the emperor still be tolerant?

Han Ruzi pushed the piece on the table over, "I have completed the approval, please take a look, there is no problem, you can return the book to the province." ”

This is Zhao Ruosu's daily duty, he walked to the table, stood sideways, and quickly flipped through it, "No problem." ”

"There is labor." Han Ruzi said politely.

Zhao Ruosu held the piece and retired.

Meng E looked at the emperor in surprise.

Han Ruzi said: "Can you stand in the water and scoop up the water?" ”

Meng E shook her head.

"I can't, I have to leave the pool to solve the pool's problems."

Meng E noticed that the emperor had called herself "I" to her, "There is another person that His Majesty has not dealt with." ”

Of course, Han Ruzi remembered this person, "When Concubine Hui was pregnant, the Queen Mother sent Zhang Youcai to serve, and now that the Queen is pregnant, I hope you will serve her and protect her." ”

Meng E understood that she was still trusted by the emperor, but from then on she would be farther and farther away from the emperor.

The emperor is a loner after all.
