After confirming that he was robbed halfway, it was really just an accident. After his own life was not in danger, the King of the East Sea became angry, but the person he hated the most was not Han Ruzi, but the Queen Mother, "After locking me up for so long, I change my ways every day to please her. , actually kicked me out without even a word of explanation, the two eunuchs threw me into the car, I thought..."
The King of the East Sea shuddered. He thought that his life was not long, so he didn't dare to make a sound along the way.
"Who did the Queen Mother choose to be the emperor?" Han Ruzi only cared about this matter.
"Who else? We were both kicked out, she must want to be the emperor herself!"
"Isn't it impossible?" Han Ruzi thought this statement was bizarre, and said to Yang Feng, who was walking over, "Is there a female emperor in the history books?"
"It's only in the ancient legends." Yang Feng stopped in front of the car, glanced at the East Sea King inside, frowned, he was not interested in who the queen mother should be the emperor, he just thought this second car was a trouble, " Gotta send him back."
"Where to send it?" King Donghai refused to get out of the car, clutching the sedan window tightly, "I won't go back to the palace, I mean I won't go back to the palace with you, I'm going to the Southern Army to find my uncle and ask him to take me back to the palace …”
Yang Feng put down the sedan curtain rudely and said to Han Ruzi, "We have to send him back to Cui's house."
The prefect went to Zongzheng's mansion to report the situation to the superior. Only the prefect was left in the mansion. He was completely overwhelmed and anxious. He came over and grabbed Yang Feng's arm: "Director Yang, you have to be responsible for this. , I'm just a small official, there are old and young, I can't stand the toss..."
Yang Feng patted the carriage, "The person in the carriage picked up the wrong one. Send him back to Taifu Cui Hong's house."
Fu Wei shook his head vigorously, "I won't send it, this has nothing to do with me."
"The prefect communicates with the Hou residence and the relevant yamen, what is the prefect in charge of?"
The Fuwei was speechless. In name, the Fuwei was responsible for the security of the Hou residence, but the last thing he wanted was this kind of thing.
"It's not Juan Hou's family in the car, please let the prefect take care of it." Yang Feng pushed Han Ruzi towards the backyard.
The King of the East Sea opened the corner of the sedan chair, but still refused to come out. He said loudly, "Han Ruzi, don't leave me here, take me back to Cui's house! You do it yourself, don't want this guy."
Han Ruzi wanted to speak, but was pushed forward by Yang Feng. He couldn't stop, and he didn't go very far. A eunuch caught up behind him and panted, "There are a lot of people coming from the Cui family."
Yang Feng stopped, "It's coming sooner, Hou Juan, you block for a while, don't let them pass this door, and don't talk too much."
"Me?" Han Ruzi had no confidence in his heart, "I'm afraid I can't..."
"Everything has to be experienced." Yang Feng patted Hou Juan on the shoulder, turned around and walked back to the carriage, called the driver and ordered him to drive into the backyard, followed by himself, regardless of what the King of the East Sea shouted.
Han Ruzi was in a hurry, which was different from facing the rebels in the palace. Among the people who invaded the palace, it was very likely that there were relatives of Cui Xiaojun, and the scene would be very embarrassing.
Yang Feng threw his hand away, and Han Ruzi could only find a way by himself, ordering Zhang Youcai to call all the eunuchs who came out of the palace, and lined up to block the second gate. At this time, the shouts from outside the gate had come, and the prefect was in a hurry. With a pat on the head, he can't offend Hou Juan, and he can't offend the Cui family.
Han Ruzi called the Fuwei to him, "Do you want to welcome the Cui family?"
The lieutenant shook his head desperately.
"Then take your people to the side, don't participate and don't make a sound."
The commander of the prefecture, as if receiving a heavy amnesty, agreed, and ran to give orders to the soldiers sent by the various ministries, and then ran into a house to hide himself. He glanced back and forth, both nervous and curious, all wanting to see how the Emperor Abolition dealt with the Cui family.
The front yard was not big, crowded with dozens of soldiers, and there was not much space left.
A large group of people came in through the gate menacingly, and at a glance they saw the eunuch and Marquis Tien who blocked the second gate.
Han Ruzi's heart sank. Most of the visitors were female relatives, which was the most embarrassing scene he expected.
An old woman with a face full of anger walked at the front, followed by a large group of women, and several male servants guarded the periphery.
There are at least twice as many people on this side as the eunuchs in the Juanhou Mansion.
The intruders were not blocked at the gate, and their momentum was even more vigorous. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they shouted and shouted. The soldiers watching the lively felt unsafe. Many people turned around and got into the house, only listening to the sound and not showing their faces.
The old woman stopped in front of Hou Juan, who was about the same height as him, gaining a little weight, looked at Hou Wan up and down a few times, raised her arms, and everyone behind her shut up.
Han Ruzi was even more nervous than facing the Queen Mother, coughed twice, and was about to speak when the other party made a move first.
"You're a stinky boy who doesn't raise much, doesn't live long, has a skinless face, and has no eyes. You are so bold, you dare to steal the daughter of the Cui family..."
The saliva rushed to his face, and was blown by the cold wind of the winter night, like a mixture of snow flakes and crushed ice, Han Ruzi had nowhere to hide, so he could only lean back and slowly back up.
Zhang Youcai was unconvinced and ran out to support his master, but he was defeated as soon as he opened his mouth, and the old woman pointed at him and cursed: "What are you doing jumping up and down, little monkey? Who are you, you are not qualified to pour the urinal for the Cui family..."
Zhang Youcai patronized and raised his hands to protect his face, but there was no chance to return his mouth at all. Han Ruzi's pressure was slightly reduced, he took the towel from another eunuch and wiped his face, daringly stepped forward and said, "Mother-in-law... …”
The old woman suddenly shut her mouth and stared at Hou Hou with angry eyes.
Han Ruzi knew that he had identified the wrong person. This was not Cui Xiaojun's mother, but he didn't look like the mother of the King of the East Sea because of his age. He knew very little about the Cui family's daughters, so he couldn't guess the identity of this person. Can't speak anymore.
The old woman turned her head to a woman and said, "He called you, and he hasn't come to meet your good son-in-law."
The woman was in her 40s and 50s, and she was not short, but she kept bending over and bowing her head, making her look half a head shorter than the old woman. At this time, she was only submissive, not daring to look at the old woman, nor the tired marquis.
It turned out that she was Cui Xiaojun's mother.
Han Ruzi suddenly remembered that Cui Xiaojun once told him that the two brothers fought and made their mother cry in anger, and the old woman's tears were probably turned into saliva, and she would never be cried by anyone.
The embarrassment was not resolved at all. Han Ruzi guessed that the old woman must be the elder of the Cui family, most likely the mother of Taifu Cui Hong and the grandmother of Cui Xiaojun, but he still didn't know what to call him, so he could only secretly complain about Yang Feng in his heart. The cunning eunuch must have been hiding on purpose.
"The old lady is here, but the grandson-in-law can't welcome it far..."
Han Ruzi finally came up with a few words, but he was interrupted by the old woman before he finished, "Whose grandson-in-law are you? The daughter of the Cui family is married to either the emperor or a prince. You are a deposed emperor who was thrown out of the palace, why? Are you embarrassed to marry the Cui family? I have heard that you went to various ministries to ask for property like a beggar yesterday, and you don’t even want face, so why are you pestering my granddaughter? Hand over Xiaojun quickly.”
Han Ruzi was angry, his face was a little red, he first bowed and saluted, and then said, "The married daughter has to go back to grab it. Is this the face of the Cui family?"
The old woman was not used to being contradicted, and became more and more annoyed in her heart, her eyebrows were raised, and she was full of fighting spirit, "My granddaughter is married to the emperor, are you the emperor?"
"Xiaojun married Han Ruzi, and I am still Han Ruzi."
"Ha, listen to your own name. After all, you are also a descendant of the Han family and a person who was an emperor. What is the name of a 'ruzi'. Xiaojun can't be bad in your hands, not to mention that you only have the name of husband and wife, even if you have a husband and wife The truth is, the Cui family can still marry her better."
Han Ruzi was even more angry. He shared the bed with Cui Xiaojun instead of consummating the marriage. It was a secret matter in the palace. The old woman didn't know how to know it.
When he was so angry, Han Ruzi calmed down and smiled, "Xiaojun used to be the queen, but now she is Mrs. Juanhou. If the old lady wants to marry her better, do you want her to be the queen?"
The young man's smile made the old woman stunned for a moment, and after looking at him again, the old woman said, "Why, do you think the Cui family has no such ability?"
It was already dark. Since the Queen Mother sent the East Sea King out, she must have performed what Yang Feng called a "strange trick". No matter what the result was, it would not be good for the Cui family, and the old woman obviously didn't know anything about it. Han Ruzi smiled again and said, "Is Concubine Cui here?"
Han Ruzi looked behind the old woman, and there were many women who followed, none of whom looked like the mother of the King of the East Sea.
Although Concubine Cui was also the concubine of Emperor Huan, she had not been canonized after Emperor Huan's death, so she could not be called the imperial concubine.
The old woman took a step back, "My daughter didn't come..." Before she finished speaking, she took a step forward, and said with a frown, "Don't be around the corner, after tonight, your life will be in danger, and you can't even implicate my granddaughter."
The old woman led her people to force her way through the door, shouting "Little Jun", and a dozen eunuchs stood in the door, not giving an inch.
Han Ruzi didn't want to fight with the woman, so he stepped aside under the protection of Zhang Youcai, Zhang Youcai looked hot, "I'm going to help." After saying that, he rushed into the battle group.
A woman was squeezed out and staggered. Han Ruzi stepped forward to support her and whispered, "Mother-in-law."
Cui Xiaojun's mother smiled embarrassedly, and immediately pushed her son-in-law away and hid behind the crowd.
A group of women and eunuchs were vying for equals. A young man hurried in from outside the gate, looked around in the crowd, and shouted, "Lao Jun! Lao Jun!"
It turns out that "Lao Jun" is the correct name for Mrs. Cui Tai, Han Ruzi thought to himself, Xiaojun must be very favored by the old woman, so he would use such a word.
The man shouted several times, and the chaos finally stopped. The old woman was in a hurry, spitting stars flying, and berating the eunuchs. , quickly drive away these dog eunuchs who are blocking the way. By the way, is there news from the palace?"
The man's name is Cui Sheng, a son of Taifu Cui Hong, who came for this very reason. He stepped forward and said, "The big thing is not good. I heard that the King of the East Sea was also sent out of the palace, along with his sister."
King Donghai got into the car in the palace, and the escorts didn't know who was in the car. The Cui family had no idea beforehand, and the old woman was stunned, "King Donghai is about to become emperor, how could he be sent out?"
Cui Sheng was furious, "The queen mother is an old... old... She has made someone else the emperor. The officials are rushing to the palace, and the city gates are closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave. I can't go out and inform my father."
The old woman didn't believe it, and shook her head again and again, "Impossible, Emperor Huan has only two sons, one is here, the abolished emperor, and the other is the king of the East Sea. Who else can the queen mother make emperor?"
Cui Sheng stomped his feet in a hurry, "I haven't found out the exact information yet, but I heard that several important officials are very supportive of the new emperor, so I thought he was the only one."
Han Ruzi was as confused as the others, and suddenly found that Yang Feng had come out from the inside at some point, standing in the middle of a group of eunuchs, his face sinking like water.
