Chapter 67 Feng Shui takes turns

Han Ruzi was hungry all day and night, but he had no appetite at all. He put down his chopsticks after eating a little something, eagerly hoping to have a few words with his mother, but the only people around were the East Sea King and two eunuchs.

After the trial of the concubine, the emperor was sent to the warm pavilion to rest, the queen mother continued to discuss matters with the ministers, the palace change has been foiled, but all the conspirators have not been arrested: the hopeful Chunyu Xiao has never appeared, and Junyang Hou Huabin does not know. Where did he escape to? Gui Yuehua's whereabouts are unknown after jumping out of the duty building...

All this has nothing to do with Han Ruzi, he returned to the original point and became the emperor in name.

"It was I who sent the Emperor Taizu's sword out." He muttered, not knowing whether it was Liu Kunsheng or the prime minister Yin Wuxian who hid the truth.

"My father wants to make me a prince, my father wants to make me a prince..." Not far from the distance, the King of the East Sea had repeated this sentence many times, suddenly raised his head and wanted to rush towards the emperor, but was stopped by two eunuchs , he has not been punished, the only reason is that the power of the Cui family has not been destroyed.

"You heard what the imperial concubine said!" said the king of the East Sea, not to be cautious, "I should be the emperor!"

Han Ruzi suddenly felt a little pitiful for King Donghai, "The words of the imperial concubine are not credible. Even if your father makes you a prince, it is only an expedient measure. Wait for him to subdue the ministers and eradicate the power of the Cui family..."

"Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" The King of the East Sea was furious, and the two eunuchs shook his head gently at him, indicating that he should not be disrespectful to the emperor. I stay by my father's side, no one can shake my crown, no one... Ah, it's not without warning that my father wants to make me the crown prince, my father used to be the king of the East Sea, and I am also the King of the East Sea!"

Emperor Huan has passed away, and no one can speculate about his true thoughts. Before him, Emperor Wu once established three princes, and the first two princes were not only deposed, but also executed afterward. Rumors of haunting were left in the East Palace. The lucky man who beats the drums to pass the flowers.

And the queen mother outside, who lost her husband, son, and sister, holding power more and more tightly, is she the winner?

"I am a lonely man." Han Ruzi thought of what his grandfather said again, and suddenly felt shivering.

King Donghai snorted, he has never been the emperor of Han Ruzi, and he doesn't even admit it now.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and the King of the East Sea rushed to the door and listened, "Shangguan Xu has entered the palace, it seems...not a good thing."

The two eunuchs went to pull the King of the East Sea, and the emperor also left the chair and ran to the door to listen with the King of the East Sea.

Shangguan Xu didn't bring good news. As soon as he came in, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, with panic and anger in his voice, "Cui Hong... Cui Hong took the Southern Army..."

The King of the East Sea gave a soft cheer.

Yesterday morning, several officials entered the Southern Army and presented the imperial decree to take back Shangguan Xu's seal. Of course Shangguan Xu did not believe it. .

The stalemate between the two sides has lost valuable opportunities. News quickly spread in the military camp. The previous earthquake has caused countless rumors, and the rumors of seizing the seal have made the soldiers at a loss. Shangguan Xu was a newcomer. He had only been in office for a short time and had no experience in the military. He was not very popular. The officials who won the seal were not of high rank. One of them was from the Northern Army, and he was even more unpopular.

When the palace change in the city was at a critical juncture, a mutiny was brewing in the southern military camp.

At a critical moment, Cui Hong came, alone, and took away the guards and the entourage left to him by Yang Feng. The timing of his appearance couldn't be more appropriate. A few hours earlier, the soldiers of the Southern Army might not have dared to accept an official without a seal. If a mutiny happened a little later, he would not be able to hold back.

He happened to arrive at a time when the Confederates were at their most emotionally unstable, and gave them hope.

Cui Hong had been in charge of the Southern Army for many years. He was not well-loved, but he was quite trusted. A large number of officers who were falsely reprimanded by Shangguan immediately turned to their old bosses, leading all the soldiers to shout "General Cui".

The seal grabber sent by Chunyu Xiao and others became prisoners. Cui Hong did not hesitate and ordered to be executed. Shangguan Xu and a small number of supporters fled in the chaos and ran all the way to report to the Queen Mother, just in time for the end of the palace change.

"Shangguan can't support the wall, and the queen mother believes in the wrong person again." King Donghai blushed with excitement, his confidence rose sharply, and he dared to glare at the eunuch behind him.

Across the door, she couldn't see the Queen Mother's expression, and she didn't speak, but Shangguan Xu's voice trembled more and more seriously, indicating that the Queen Mother was very angry.

"Yang Feng! It was Yang Feng who helped Cui Hong seize military power." Shangguan Xu was eager to shirk his responsibility, thinking of what to say, "Not long after Cui Hong entered the camp, Yang Feng also went, he saw me without saying a word, and went to see Cui Hong directly. , this... must be a fraud."

To the people in Cishun Palace, Cui Hong appeared quite suddenly, and disturbed a victory that had just been won. Everyone felt that if the emperor and the empress dowager were killed, Cui Hong, who regained control of the Southern Army, would be a terrifying force, but the two Supremes of Great Chu were safe and sound, and it should be easy to defeat Cui Hong.

The emperor and Donghai King who were listening to each other were also nervous. Han Ruzi wondered how the Queen Mother would solve this crisis. The Donghai King was much more anxious than him, and his uncle's success or failure was directly related to his fate.

The statements of the ministers continued, and it was reported that Yang Feng begged to see the Queen Mother.

"He dares to come back? He's really courageous." Donghai Wang was taken aback, and immediately came up with an explanation, "Oh, Yang Feng is a lobbyist for my uncle, hey, eunuchs are duplicitous, I will definitely I have to advise my uncle to get rid of this Yang Feng as soon as possible."

Han Ruzi believed that Yang Feng was not that kind of person, and he was even more confused by the other eunuch, "Why did Jing Yao fall to the queen mother again?"

"Shh." King Donghai only cares about one thing now, what conditions will his uncle make to the queen mother.

When Yang Feng's voice came, he angered the ministers as soon as he opened his mouth, "Slave Yang Feng knocked on the queen mother, please ask the queen mother to withdraw from everyone. I have something to report to the queen mother alone."

The palace change just ended, and Yang Feng was accused of treason again. He actually made such an excessive request. The scolding from the ministers came clearly, and the King of the East Sea frowned, "These old guys have a lot of scolding tricks, wait a minute. I... hum."

Contrary to the expectations of the ministers, the queen mother agreed to Yang Feng's request and ordered the ministers, eunuchs and palace maids to retire, leaving only a few guards.

The two eunuchs in the warm pavilion also consciously obeyed the order. First, they whispered to the emperor and the East Sea King to step back, but it didn't work, so they had to do it. The two set up the East Sea King, sent him back to his original place, and then turned to look at the emperor.

Han Ruzi walked back by himself and sat on the chair. There was not much noise outside, and he couldn't hear what Yang Feng was saying.

"It's impossible for Yang Feng to join Cui Hong." Han Ruzi couldn't think of any reason for Yang Feng to do such a thing.

The King of Donghai laughed a few times, "Who cares about Yang Feng, you should think about what conditions my uncle will make to the queen mother."

Han Ruzi looked at the Donghai King opposite, "After so many things happened, do you still want to be the emperor?"

The King of Donghai glanced at the two eunuchs and said, "Even if I am beheaded immediately after becoming emperor, I will still be the one. Some people are born to be emperors, such as me. Don't you like the feeling of being an emperor?"

"I'm just a puppet." Han Ruzi didn't care about the eunuch, anyway, this is a well-known fact.

The two eunuchs were so embarrassed that they even coughed a few times and simply stood at the door, pretending they couldn't hear anything.

The East Sea King leaned forward and said seriously: "Yes, you are just a puppet, even so, there are still people who voluntarily pledge their allegiance to you, Liu Jie, the eunuchs and palace maids, and the palace who helped you deliver the sword. door order..."

"Hey, did you know that the sword was brought out by me?"

"Hey, everyone knows, but no one is a fool. Unless the queen mother says it herself, no one will admit your credit. The ministers will only thank you silently in their hearts, hehe, you have helped them a lot, and the queen mother will be from now on. Relying more on ministers, what the father and emperor tried to avoid, the queen mother realized."

King Donghai tapped his fingers on the windowsill impatiently, and suddenly walked towards the door, "No, I have to see the queen mother, uncle..."

The two eunuchs took a step forward and shook their heads at the East Sea King.

The King of the East Sea had to return to his original place, looking even more restless, and whispered to himself: "If my uncle is smart, he should immediately lead his troops into the palace under the banner of rescue. It happened to be done once before Shangguan Xu, which is not an exception. My uncle asked Yang Feng to come. Why? That eunuch is not credible, even if he wants to negotiate with the queen mother, he should bring troops in and talk directly face to face..."

The King of Donghai didn't need to play stupid anymore. When analyzing the situation in front of him, Han Ruzi couldn't help but nodded for him, "The queen mother's elder brother lost his military power, but she has the support of the minister, so your uncle doesn't dare to act rashly."

"What kind of ministers do you care about at this time? If it weren't for Luo Huanzhang and Bu Hengru..." The King of Donghai snorted angrily, "Except the Cui family, there is no one to trust in the world, I can understand why the emperor always trusts foreign relatives and eunuchs. already."

"It's really strange. Your uncle handed over the official seal at the beginning, and now he has taken it back. If he knew this, he wouldn't have to go around this circle."

"It's not surprising at all. Back then, the imperial court was in the hands of the Cui family, the queen mother was an adventurer, and there was King Qi who was eyeing him outside, so my uncle chose to retreat instead of advancing. Next? Feng shui turns, and now the queen mother is in a stable position and desperately wants to keep the court, but the Cui family is in a precarious situation and has to take a risky move. Do you understand?"

Of course Han Ruzi understood, "Everyone is threatening Chu Jiangshan, but no one has ever thought of doing something practical? Instead, Luo Huanzhang, who is a traitor, thinks about the people of the world."

"Ha, why do the Cui family and the empress dowager think about the people of the world? They are not the emperor, you are the emperor, they squandered your country, if it were me..." The palace of the King of Donghai was completely defeated, and he was deceived by Luo Huanzhang. Feeling disheartened for a while, even the mood to talk big has faded.

The door opened, and Wang Meiren walked in. She said to the two eunuchs, "I want to have a few words with Your Majesty. The Queen Mother ordered you to take the King of the East Sea out."

"What conditions did my uncle ask Yang Feng to bring?" The King of the East Sea asked, but he didn't get an answer, so he had to go out with the two eunuchs, feeling uneasy.

Since leaving home a few months ago, this is the first time the mother and son have met alone. Han Ruzi stood up, not knowing what to say.

Wang Meiren walked up to her son and smiled, "Ruzi, we are no longer emperors."
