(Thanks to the readers for their "Kick to the Stone" and "heathers" for their red tips.)
The Cui family's women's army has the confidence to dare to go straight to the ruined emperor's mansion. The confidence comes from the East Sea King who was raised and raised by the Cui family. He is almost certain to become the new emperor. Suddenly, bad news came that the successor was someone else , the confidence was instantly drained.
The old man of the Cui family has been pampered all his life. He has never suffered such a big blow. He stared at his grandson Cui Sheng for a while, "You say it again."
"I heard that the Queen Mother has elected a new emperor, which is very popular with the ministers."
When Lao Jun said he was angry, he became angry, and he raised his palm and slapped Cui Sheng savagely, "Nonsense, disturbing the military's heart, just heard, have you confirmed it? The empress dowager didn't establish Emperor Huan's son, who else would you want to establish?"
Cui Sheng covered his face, "Okay, I'll ask again, but there are rumors that the East Sea King has been sent out of the palace..."
Lao Jun turned around suddenly and glared angrily at Hou Juan, "You stole my granddaughter on the way..."
"Your granddaughter is Mrs. Tien Hou, and this is also her home." Han Ruzi glanced at Yang Feng and added, "Yes, the East Sea King is in the mansion."
As soon as this statement came out, the Cui family was outraged, since King Donghai was not in the palace, the new emperor was definitely not him.
Lao Jun stood dumbfounded for a while, then suddenly fell back, Cui Sheng and a group of women supported him in time, Cui Sheng had just been beaten, but he was very filial to his grandmother, and shouted at Han Ruzi: "If something happens to Lao Jun , the Cui family is not finished with you!"
Han Ruzi didn't understand what this had to do with him, but the old woman was also Xiaojun's grandmother, so he couldn't help him, so he said, "Go to the back."
Han Ruzi led the way, the eunuchs got out of the way, and the women supported Lao Jun to the main hall of the second entrance courtyard. Cui Sheng wanted to follow him, but was pulled by his mother. Suddenly remembering that there were more important things, he turned and ran outside the mansion. He had to find out the situation as soon as possible.
The front yard became quiet, the officers and soldiers looked at each other, and they were deeply impressed by the Cui Family Women's Army. The commander came out of the room, secretly glad that he had escaped the disaster, but soon a bigger worry arose: there is a new emperor in Da Chu. , Hou Juan's future is uncertain, and you must not be implicated.
In the main hall, the women took care of Lao Jun in every possible way, and none of the servants who followed him dared to come in, and they all patrolled outside the door.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Han Ruzi dragged Yang Feng aside, pointed at Lao Jun, and whispered, "I know I have to learn a lot, but even this one?"
"The old woman Sapo is as fierce as the three armies, and the tired marquis has lived in the inner house for a long time. She finally came out, and she should see everything."
Han Ruzi was speechless, but he always felt that something was wrong. Yang Feng smiled and said, "When Marquis Tien was studying the history of the country, did you hear the records of Emperor He and the Empress Dowager?"
"He Di named several uncles as marquis before the Queen Mother's sick bed? I heard it."
Yang Feng snorted and said nothing.
Han Ruzi understood what he meant, but felt that his mother was gentle and smart, and would never be like the old master of the Cui family, not to mention that he had no uncle.
When Lao Jun woke up, he forgot where he was and his granddaughter, and said in a trembling voice, "Where is my good grandson? Has he become an emperor?"
No one dared to answer, Lao Jun glanced over, and finally landed on Han Ruzi in the distance, and said viciously: "It's you again, since you were born, you have been destroying the fortune of the King of the East Sea, until now, why? Why? You are not dead yet?"
Han Ruzi was furious in his heart, but when he thought of Yang Feng's words, he regarded this experience as a test, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "If the heaven wants to give a great responsibility to the people, he must first suffer his will... In short, let He suffers first, Donghai King's fortune is not good, because he has not suffered enough."
Lao Jun stepped forward to stand up, just left the chair and sat down again, clutching his heart and saying, "This kid is going to piss me off, hit him, hit him hard."
The women hummed a few times, but no one moved. Only one woman reminded in a low voice, "Lao Jun, this is not the Cui Mansion..."
The old man had nowhere to vent his fire, raised his hand and slapped the woman, "I'm not confused, tell me with you!"
The woman covered her face and stepped back. Lao Jun stared at Han Ruzi again, and said in a softer tone, "So my grandson is also in your house, tell me, how do you get him out?"
"Let it go? I want to know how the King of the East Sea is willing to come out."
Lao Jun raised his eyebrows again. At this moment, someone ran in from outside the door, pounced on Lao Jun's knees, hugged her leg, and cried and made trouble. Lao Jun was also screaming heartily and darling.
King Donghai's carriage was parked outside. He was terrified. He heard that no one from the Cui family dared to come out. He didn't run out to meet his grandmother until he was sure that there was no danger.
Han Ruzi had to admit that in just a while, his knowledge really increased a lot. He also acted like a spoiled child in front of his mother, but he was very restrained. He had never cried like the King of the East Sea, but he felt that the King of the East Sea had the same temper as Lao Jun. It really matches, I don't understand why Donghai King never mentioned this grandmother before.
What surprised him even more was that those women were silent just now, but now they are all wiping their tears with them, crying with sincerity, even Cui Xiaojun's mother.
There are court halls everywhere, and this scene is very similar to the imperial palace and Qinzheng Hall.
Han Ruzi nodded to Yang Fengwei, saying that he really learned something.
Yang Feng didn't seem to notice Marquis Juan's movements, he pondered, and Han Ruzi asked in a low voice, "Can you guess who the new emperor is?"
"I have a little guess, but I don't know how the Queen Mother did it."
Han Ruzi was about to ask again, when the King of the East Sea over there finally stopped crying, stood up to dry his tears, turned around and said, "Han Ruzi, we were all deceived by the queen mother, she abandoned the two sons of Emperor Huan and established a new king, you and I We have to deal with her together."
Lao Jun hasn't wiped away his tears yet, grabbing his grandson's wrist with one hand, with an almost adoring smile on his face, looking up, obviously very proud of his grandson.
Han Ruzi shook his head, "Thank you, no matter who is the emperor, I will honestly be a tired marquis here. It was not my desire to be an emperor, and now I have no such idea. I haven't settled down here yet, so I can't entertain guests, please. Slow down, everyone."
His own grandson, Sun Xun, bowed down to honor, but the other party did not pay his head and bowed. Lao Jun couldn't help but get angry, and was about to speak, when the King of the East Sea sneered: "You are really hopeless, you don't want the opportunity to come to the door, well, you just It's good to be a tortoise here, Laojun, let's go."
Han Ruzi turned sideways in a gesture of seeing off the guest, refusing to give in, "I wish you a smooth extension of your head, the more you stretch the better."
In the past, the King of the East Sea would have a seizure on the spot, but today he was tired and frightened, so he was not in the mood to quarrel, and there were more urgent crises to deal with, so he just snorted and took his grandmother's hand and walked out.
Lao Jun listened to this grandson very much, and when he arrived at the door, he remembered that there was another granddaughter, "Little Jun is here..."
The King of Donghai snorted again angrily, "My cousin betrayed the Cui family. She came here voluntarily. Why are you still thinking about her? Anyway, there are several daughters in the Cui family, so it's better not to have her."
"Xiaojun was brought up by me, she won't..."
"What's wrong? You've been here for so long, has she come out to see you?"
Lao Jun still wanted to speak, but the King of East Sea pushed her out, "The throne has been taken away, you still care about a ruthless granddaughter? Hurry back to the house and find a way to get in touch with my uncle, he is in control of the south outside the city. Jun, I don't believe that the queen mother really dares to offend my uncle."
The old man woke up and quickened his pace, "Yes, my grandson is too smart, I'll find your uncle, I'll go..."
The women followed. Cui Xiaojun's mother pretended to look for the things that had fallen and stayed behind. When passing by Han Ruzi, she asked in a low voice, "You really don't want to fight for the throne?"
"Without root and no foundation, I don't do delusions."
Mother Cui nodded and put a hairpin into Han Ruzi's hand, "Take care of Xiaojun." After that, she hurriedly chased after Laojun.
The master and servant of the Cui family came and went quickly, and they disappeared without a trace after a while.
Han Ruzi held the hairpin in a daze, and after a while he said, "How could Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan allow the Cui family to be domineering for so long?"
"Emperor Wu is suspicious and Emperor Huan is more concerned. For them, arrogant relatives are more credible than silent princes and ministers."
Han Ruzi had never experienced the real feeling of imperial power, so it was difficult for him to understand what Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan did. Then he thought to himself, "For example, the more I look like Jun Jun, the safer it is, because Jun Jun won't be supported by anyone?"
Yang Feng nodded with a smile, "You're still too far from the standard of being a 'dumb prince'. We'll talk about this later. The Queen Mother's election of a new prince is a real threat to you."
"Ah, don't be fooled, even if it's just a guess, tell me who the queen mother wants to be the emperor?" Han Ruzi couldn't hide his concern about this matter, although the news would come out soon, he still wanted to hurry up. Know.
"If I'm not mistaken—" Yang Feng turned his head and glanced at Zhang Youcai, who was sneaking in, but did not push him, "The queen mother chose the descendant of the former prince to succeed him on the throne."
"Ex-Prince?"
"Emperor Wu established three princes. The first two were Prince Ju and Prince Yong. They were executed successively. You should have heard of it, right?"
Han Ruzi nodded, Zhang Youcai stood behind him and whispered, "The two princes died in the East Palace, so there is a haunted place there, and no one dares to go."
Yang Feng snorted disdainfully and continued: "Prince Ju and Prince Yong's families were also implicated, but it is said that each of them had a son who was less than three years old at the time. It should be six or seven years old, the latter one is very much in line with the Queen Mother's requirements, but the ministers may be more supportive of the first one, I don't know how the Queen Mother was chosen."
"Doesn't the empress dowager offend Mrs. Cui?" Han Ruzi couldn't understand the empress dowager's intention.
Yang Feng thought for a while, "It can only be the first one, when Prince Ju was most trusted in his lifetime, he used to be in charge of the Southern Army, and his descendants were proclaimed emperors, which might disintegrate the Southern Army's support for Taifu Cui. The crown prince has been around for more than ten years, and is most favored by ministers in the DPRK, but—"
However, the orphan of the eldest prince is already sixteen or seventeen years old and is approaching adulthood. It will be difficult for the queen mother to control the government.
Yang Feng muttered to himself, almost forgetting that there were outsiders around, "This is not enough, the queen mother must have stronger protection before she dares to do this..."
The mansion chief who ran away in the daytime hurried in and said to Marquis Juan, "There is an order in the palace, requesting all the clan children in the city with titles to go to the imperial temple to meet the new emperor immediately."
Han Ruzi and Yang Feng don't need to guess anymore.
