Chapter 56
"Just like us, you are also a prisoner." Han Ruzi couldn't see what conspiracy the hopeless man had, but he could see that Bu Hengru and the concubine didn't take the East Sea King seriously.
Even if there is only a small chance to become the emperor, countless people will come to flatter him. Han Ruzi has a deep understanding of this. From the position of a bystander, he can see it more clearly.
The King of the East Sea was stunned for a moment, then laughed a few times, leaned his body and said to Bu Hengru at the door: "Emperor Da Chu is a puppet, so he thinks everyone is a puppet, don't blame him, he has lived by his mother's side since he was a child, and even No master."
Bu Hengru smiled and nodded, still not obeying the order of the East Sea King to go to the Palace of Qinzheng.
The laughter of King Donghai became a little embarrassing, but he did not continue to ask, nor did he force the other party to obey, but shrank smaller and smaller on the chair.
The empress dowager looked at Han Ruzi more, as if surprised that he could say such a thing, then looked at Bu Hengru, "I didn't expect that I was so dignified that I was defeated by a few famous people."
Bu Hengru still just smiled, not wanting to say a single extra word.
The room was quiet for a while, except for the only sound of the palace maid's teeth fighting up and down. The queen mother waved gently, "Go out."
The palace maid threw herself down on her knees, not grateful, but overly frightened, barely spit out a "yes", struggled to stand up, and ran to the door, but couldn't pass the four eunuchs.
Bu Hengru stared at the palace maid for a while, then turned sideways to let the door open, and the palace maid came out with the help of the door.
The King of Donghai looked at Bu Hengru again, "You said that I have the qi of the emperor, and you also said that if I can't be the emperor, and the qi of the emperor is not as high as the sky, it will cause chaos in the world."
Bu Hengru nodded, indicating that he did say something like that.
"My master Luo Huanzhang will soon enter the palace, he, he will protect me, you better... understand this."
Bu Heng laughed out loud, but still didn't speak.
King Donghai was finally provoked, jumped off his chair, strode in front of Buhenru, and said sternly, "You are just a warlock, without the Cui family, you would probably still be in a poor street, even with a decent reputation. can't even wear robes."
"The Cui family is really kind to me like a mountain." Bu Heng said with a smile, habitually raising his hand to touch the beard under his chin, and after a moment's effort, he remembered that he was disguised as a eunuch and shaved his beard cleanly, "But I also Repaying the Cui family, not only helped the Cui family to find many strange people from the rivers and lakes, but also gave the Cui family a lot of ideas."
"I came up with those ideas!" Donghai Wang said angrily, raising his fist, but he didn't fight it, and the other party was not afraid.
"Even if you came up with it, it doesn't matter." Bu Hengru said lazily.
Wang Qi's attitude made Donghai Wang more and more annoyed, "I want to go out, I want to find a master."
Bu Hengru didn't step aside, "He'll be here soon, and have you forgotten? It was Luo Huanzhang who introduced me to Taifu at the beginning."
The King of the East Sea took a step forward and wanted to force his way in. The other three eunuchs unceremoniously showed their short knives. He took a few steps back and stopped, "What do you, what do you mean? Master Luo won't lie to me, he won't lie. The Choi family..."
Buheng smiled and said nothing.
About half an hour later, Luo Huanzhang came, stepped forward, and saluted the Empress Dowager and the Emperor successively. Although he did not kneel, the ceremony was thoughtful. To the King of the East Sea, he just nodded.
"Master Luo, Luo Huanzhang, what the hell is going on?" Donghai Wang was furious. The half hour that had just passed was more difficult than the months he had endured humiliation in the palace. "This guy...this guy..." Donghai Wang first pointed at Bu Hengru, then suddenly turned to Han Ruzi, "He said I was a prisoner too!"
Luo Huanzhang saluted the emperor again, "Your Majesty is wise, but it's a pity that he was born at an untimely time."
Han Ruzi didn't say a word. He had been sitting on a round stool under the window, watching all this with a bystander attitude. Instead, he was not nervous. He just glanced at his mother occasionally, and didn't understand why she had been staying by the Queen Mother's side.
"He's not smart! He's talking nonsense, Master Luo, tell me, is he talking nonsense?"
Luo Huanzhang sighed, "I'll talk about your affairs later, let me have a few words with the Queen Mother."
Donghai King heard the ominous omen, sat on a chair, covered his face with his hands, and muttered in his mouth. No one could hear what he was saying, and no one cared.
Luo Huanzhang looked at the empress dowager and said, "The ministers refused the imperial concubine to be in power and stopped her outside the Palace of Diligence."
As soon as these words came out, the East Sea King stopped muttering, raised his head, and looked at the Queen Mother in surprise.
"Well." The queen mother also learned to ask questions without answering.
Bu Hengru, who had been smiling the whole time, changed his face, "Why did the ministers stop the imperial concubine? Is there something wrong with the empress dowager's decree?"
Luo Huanzhang shook his head, "The ministers don't look at the decree at all, they just want to see the queen mother. They ask: either the queen mother goes to the Qinzheng Palace, or the prime minister Yin Wuxian enters the palace to visit the queen mother, and the decree received from the queen mother counts."
Bu Hengru was stunned, and the King of the East Sea couldn't close his mouth. Only then did he understand the true meaning of the Queen Mother's words: "If the twists and turns happen here, my Queen Mother will be in vain."
Luo Huanzhang saluted the queen mother, "It seems that we underestimated the queen mother, how did you win over those ministers? They are united today, even Prime Minister Yin and Governor Han stood up to speak for the queen mother, these two adults have not been for many years. So excited."
The queen mother didn't seem to want to answer, and after a while she said: "It was my mistake to entrust the entire inner palace to the queen concubine, but I also freed up my energy and concentrated on dealing with ministers. The court has its customs, and I am part of this convention, and the ministers dare not make any decisions without my hands, because they know that whoever dares to break the new convention will be punished by death."
"It's really admirable that the Queen Mother has made such an achievement in less than half a year." Luo Huanzhang said sincerely.
"And during the four years when Emperor Huan and Emperor Si were in power, I learned a lot at that time, and it should be said that I learned a lot of lessons."
Luo Huanzhang folded his hands again, "I didn't expect that I would miss out."
"Master Luo is a famous Confucian in the world, but unfortunately he has never been an official. Those who look for qi are good at deceiving people. It is a pity that the imperial court is not the same thing as the princes and small countries.
The king of Donghai thought that the queen mother would talk about herself next, and opened her mouth as if to wait, but the queen mother paused for a while and said someone else, "Only the master of the Cui family is familiar with the way of being an official, and it is in the palace of diligence and administration. One of the ministers, so I had to let him leave the capital."
"So it is." Luo Huanzhang nodded in admiration, "What the Queen Mother said is very true, alas, I think I have read the book of sages and sages, but after all, it is still only on paper."
"Master Luo's high-rise building is not comparable to that of a little girl like me who drills into power. I just wonder why Master Luo abandoned benevolence and righteousness and invested in wisdom. This is not the famous scholar Luo Huanzhang in my memory, and the only people who say I am wrong are Two, one is the Empress Dowager and the other is Your Excellency."
Luo Huanzhang did not answer this question immediately, but asked, "If I invite the Queen Mother to the Palace of Qinzheng..."
"Then you will all be executed before dark." The Queen Mother didn't even bother to cover up.
The ignored Donghai King couldn't help sneering: "Hey, I'm afraid it's you who will die first."
The Queen Mother ignored him, and Luo Huanzhang did not appreciate the disciple. Instead, he raised his hand and signaled the King of the East Sea to shut up. After thinking for a while, he said, "It seems that I have to convince the Queen Mother first."
"I believe Master Luo's eloquence, please say it."
"Well, there are so many things, I can't talk about it for a while, why don't you ask the queen mother."
"I really have a few questions." The Queen Mother took a cup of tea from Wang Meiren's hand, took a sip, handed it back, and continued: "With the talent of Master Luo, I don't want to be an official in the court. It really amazes me to be in the company of warlocks."
"Because 'Jianghu Warlock' persuaded me that Chunyu Xiao—let's use that name for the time being—is a great person, and he made me understand that the benevolence and righteousness that he has been teaching is actually only a small technique, and there is a bigger way. I won't say much about the secrets, but Chunyu Xiao convinced me. I have nothing else to ask for to participate in this matter, except to save the world and practice the Dao."
The Empress Dowager was obviously not interested in the so-called "dao", and raised her finger to the emperor and the King of the East Sea, "The two brothers are the only descendants of Emperor Huan, you both want to abolish the emperor, but you don't want to establish the King of the East Sea, who are you working for? "
Han Ruzi didn't respond, but the East Sea King shook involuntarily and said in a trembling voice, "Master Luo, really... won't you stand me up?"
Luo Huanzhang still ignored him and said to the queen mother, "The Han family is exhausted. We want to establish Chunyu Xiao as the national teacher and slowly transfer the state affairs to him. Therefore, we do not intend to abolish the emperor for the time being."
Everyone's eyes turned to the emperor by the window, Han Ruzi was startled, and then said, "It turns out that I not only want to be the deposed emperor, but also the emperor of the end of the Great Chu Dynasty."
"Your Majesty... very smart, and sometimes it may be too smart." Luo Huanzhang stared at the emperor for a while, then turned to the East Sea King, "I'm sorry, so you can't be the emperor, and the Cui family can't continue to be in power, Da Chu is terminally ill, Without the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, he cannot save himself, the Cui family is the most seriously ill part and must be removed."
"But my son of the sky..." The King of the East Sea was so badly hit that he could barely stand up from his chair.
"If there really is an emperor in this world, it is also in the national teacher Chunyu Xiao." Luo Huanzhang's eyes turned to the queen mother again, "It will take three to five years for the national teacher to transfer power and eliminate the Kanto princes, which may take more time. Longer, your queen mother will be retained for life, even after the last emperor abdicates."
Luo Huanzhang is putting forward conditions in exchange for the cooperation of the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager seemed to be thinking seriously and took a slow breath, "I have already tasted the most delicious food, how can I bear the stench of Bao Si? Master Luo, you and Chunyu Xiao see it too easy to seize power."
Luo Huanzhang was about to speak when the King of the East Sea suddenly jumped up and rushed towards his master, shouting, "You lied to me!"
Buhenru next to him stepped forward to block it, and as soon as he raised his arm, he heard a commotion outside, and someone shouted: "Help me!"
No one understood the meaning of this sentence, except Han Ruzi.
