The Child Emperor

Zuo Ji has a weakness that can be used as a threat. The concubine did not say the specific content, but asked the emperor to prepare. Only when he was willing to take action, the concubine would reveal the details.

Han Ruzi didn't plan to do it right away, he had to make another plan first and get in touch with his mother first.

On the seventh day after the marriage, the emperor's life had returned to normal. When he was having lunch in Lingyun Pavilion, while the eunuch was not there, Han Ruzi handed the King of the East Sea a pearl.

The pearls are not big and the color is dull. The King of the East Sea held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, "This is something thrown away by my family. Did you pick it up?"

"This is a pearl that I put on my hat when I entered the palace. My mother sewed it on by herself. I will definitely recognize it and use it as a token." Han Ruzi smiled, not wanting to show sadness in front of the East Sea King.

The King of the East Sea put the pearl away, "You used to be... a poor man, I feel pity for you."

"I'd rather go back to the past." Han Ruzi pointed to the dishes on the table, and then looked at the garden outside the window, "The pearls belong to me at least, what kind of things in the palace really belong to me?"

King Donghai was speechless. His situation was even worse than that of the emperor. He didn't even have a name on the surface. After a while, he asked, "You really didn't touch the queen, did you?"

"You can ask her." Han Ruzi had a clear conscience. For several nights in a row, he had been sleeping on the couch. Queen Cui Xiaojun began to be a little confused, but then accepted it without asking any more questions. Others share the same bed. Four days ago, she moved to the Queen's exclusive Qiuxin Palace, and the two never saw each other again.

"She lives in Qiuxin Palace, and there are a large group of people around her. There must be many ears and eyes of the Queen Mother. I can't get close to her now. Your guarantee is enough."

"I promise, you have to act quickly too?"

"Hurry up and see the queen?"

"No, hurry up and find someone to give the pearl to my mother."

"Oh. It's just a bead, and there are no other letters, oral messages, etc.?"

"No, I don't have anything to say." Han Ruzi acted cautiously. If the plan was revealed, it would not cause too much trouble for his mother. Then he remembered a word he heard in the Qinzheng Hall before and asked. : "What does a man of hope do?"

"You haven't even heard of Wangqi?" Donghai Wang's eyes widened in surprise, "Wangqi is to see what kind of spirit is on the top of your head, auspicious, extravagant, and murderous, choose a house or a tomb It can also be used. It is said that the powerful hopeful can see things in a few years or even decades. When I was born, the hopeful said that one day I will be indescribably precious..."

The King of the East Sea shut up, there is only one person in the world who is indescribably precious, and that is the emperor.

Han Ruzi didn't think about it so much, and finally understood who King Qi was bewitched by, but he still had doubts, is a person of prestige really so convincing?

In the afternoon of martial arts, the Meng brothers and sisters did not come, and a new teacher, surnamed Liu, was said to be a knife and gun teacher of the Southern Army. , please call your majesty the humble 'teacher Liu', or just 'old Liu' or 'liu black bear'."

The emperor laughed, and so did the attendants. Although they had not seen the true skills of Liu instructor, everyone thought that he was more lovable and lovable than Meng Che.

Different from the Jianghu Kungfu of the Meng brothers and sisters, Instructor Liu taught infantry skills. On the first day, he only learned one movement. He held a small shield in his left hand to block upward, and then held a short knife in his right hand to slash downwards.

The sword and shield were all made of wood and were relatively light. At first, everyone thought it was a child's play, but when the emperor was present, no one could say anything. After two quarters of an hour, no one dared to say that the sword and shield were light and the wood chips in their hands. It's getting heavier and harder to swing.

"Learn this... why?" Donghai Wang couldn't help complaining.

Liu’s weather-beaten face always had a smile on his face, never impatient, but he didn’t relax his supervision of the disciples, “Yeah, what is the use of a sword and a shield? There are bows and crossbows in the distance, spears and halberds in the distance, chasing the dead and defeating them. , You don't need a sword and a shield when you pull out a city and seize a stronghold, but there are always contingency. There are many accidents in battle. Maybe when the two armies meet on a narrow road, the bow and crossbow cannot be used for a while, and the spear and halberd cannot be used. At this time You have to rely on the sword and shield around you.”

"It's better to learn Qinggong, turn around and run, and then use the bow and crossbow." Donghai Wang was the only one who dared to speak under the gaze of the eunuchs.

Coach Liu was still smiling, not angry at all, "If you are a hero in the rivers and lakes, you will run away, turn back and fight again, and you will be a hero if you win. You are all children of aristocratic families. In the future, you will command thousands of troops and horses. A little bit of cowardice may cause the army to lose heart, turn around and retreat? Without waiting for the distance, the soldiers under him will all run away first."

"If you dare to run faster than me, it will be handled by military law." King Donghai was just not convinced. He practiced for a while, but his back was sore and his legs were sore. He whispered to the emperor: "Since you want to lead thousands of troops, you might as well Learn the art of war, what's the use of practicing this? Can we really fight against the enemy on the battlefield?"

Han Ruzi was also very tired, but he was taught by his mother to have a bad temper since he was a child. He would never stop when others didn't speak, and he was serious in every move, not lazy at all, and panted, "Practicing these... It's to let us... know the hard work of ordinary soldiers."

Instructor Liu respectfully saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty can have such an idea, it is really a blessing for the millions of soldiers in my great Chu, and it is not in vain for me to wait for a loyal heart."

"Little sycophant." Donghai King whispered, he couldn't bear it anymore, he dropped his sword and shield, and shouted, "I won't be a general in the future, so I don't need to practice these things, right?"

Coach Liu just smiled and didn't stop it.

The King of the East Sea took the lead, and the other attendants also stopped, thinking the same thing in their hearts: Why do you have to join the army based on your own background? Wouldn't it be better to be a civil servant with peace and stability?

Only a few people still sweat like rain with the emperor. Most of them are from the family of military generals and must show the spirit of martial arts.

Zhang Yanghao, the grandson of Marquis Piyuan, is one of them. He is older and has been practicing martial arts all the time. He is very strong and can wield a sword and a shield.

Han Ruzi also noticed a squire, who said that he did not look very strong, but his movements were extremely flexible. He was more relaxed than Zhang Yanghao when wielding swords and shields. This person usually stayed with several protons sent by foreign countries. , probably also the prince of a certain country.

He guessed right, the King of the East Sea was standing with a group of servants who had given up practicing swords when he shouted loudly: "Zhang Yanghao, don't just practice on your own, fight with the Xiongnu boy!"

Zhang Yanghao and the Hun Prince stopped at the same time and looked at each other, not intending to do anything.

Coach Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "This is only the first day, you don't need to practice, there will be opportunities in the future."

The King of the East Sea was reluctant, "We are practicing on the first day, but the Huns are not. Seeing how proud he is, if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he thinks that there is no one in Dachu."

The Xiongnu prince was not proud, but among the pale-faced attendants, he was indeed a bit special when his face was not red and he was not breathing.

Coach Liu stood between the two, still shaking his head, "I can't fight, I can't fight..."

Han Ruzi wondered why the King of the East Sea was making trouble for nothing, looked at him, and immediately understood that the King of the East China Sea used the old trick again, and wanted to execute the plan while the chaos.

The young attendant standing next to the King of the East Sea is probably the King Huahu. He has fair skin and delicate eyebrows. He is not at all like the stalwart Jun Yanghou, nor does he have the spirit of a "Tiger King". Han Ruzi didn't pay much attention to him before. .

"I'm a little tired, why don't I let them compete, wooden swords and wooden shields, it will be all right." Han Ruzi knew that without the permission of the emperor, Liu instructor would never allow the competition.

Instructor Liu was very embarrassed, and he was pondering and undecided, but Zhang Yanghao felt that he had received the emperor's order.

The Xiongnu prince did not show weakness, and raised his sword and shield to fight.

The Xiongnu prince was younger, and he was good at wielding his sword and shield in the air. When he encountered a head-to-head fight, he couldn't take it any longer. He retreated step by step.

After a few rounds, Han Ruzi finally understood that the King of the East Sea did not arbitrarily appoint two people to fight. Zhang Yanghao and the Hun Prince obviously had a feud.

"Okay, stop." Han Ruzi stopped in time.

Instructor Liu had been waiting for this sentence, and immediately rushed into the battle group to separate the two. He was beaten twice on the body for this, with a smile on his face, and praised: "As expected of a famous family."

Bystanders were not very satisfied, especially Zhang Yanghao and Prince Xiongnu, who glared at each other, obviously suppressing their anger.

Until the end, no one introduced the name of the Hun prince to the emperor.

When they returned to the inner palace together, Han Ruzi whispered to the King of the East China Sea: "You shouldn't instigate the two of them to fight, the Xiongnu prince is a foreigner..."

"You can't be weak towards foreigners. Your Majesty knows how bad the Huns are? The King Qi rebelled, and the Huns have been rushing around the border. If my uncle hadn't defeated the rebels in time, the Huns would have already overwhelmed the territory at this time. Don't worry, the Huns. The brat doesn't dare to cause trouble, Zhang Yanghao and King Huahu will take care of him after he leaves the palace."

Han Ruzi was once again aware of his ignorance. On the surface, the courteous and noble servants also had open and secret struggles with each other. He had lived in a deep house since he was a child, and he had no way of understanding.

The King of the East Sea lightly bumped the emperor, and blinked his eyes, indicating that the matter was done, and the King Huahu had accepted the pearl.

Han Ruzi's worries have only just begun. After all, King Huahu is only a teenage child. If he tells his family about this, the Marquis of Junyang is likely to make the same choice as Yuan Jiuding, the Minister of Rites, and hand the pearl over to him. A certain eunuch in the palace.

How can Houmen be a hero? Han Ruzi couldn't trust Junyanghou's family very much.

But things have already been done, and it is hard to get over the water, so he can only wait for the result silently.

The eunuch who led the team today was Zuo Ji, who came up from behind and smiled at the emperor: "Your Majesty should come to Xingxing Qiuxin Palace tonight, why don't you just eat there."

Here again, Han Ruzi was very annoyed, but he couldn't show it. He quickly glanced at the King of the East Sea. The King of the East Sea was well concealed, and his face was expressionless.

Zuo Ji stepped back with a smile, and Han Ruzi held back his curiosity. He was alone in the palace, and he must not be reckless. He had to get a hint from his mother before deciding whether to take action against this eunuch.
