Han Ruzi opened her eyes and looked at the familiar Cui Xiaojun. In the hazy, it was a slightly undulating silhouette, only the tip of her nose was slightly clear. Han Ruzi stretched out her arm and wanted to touch it lightly. At the end, he smiled and quietly got out of bed, preparing to do the work of this day.???]

He has a lot to do.

The court has accumulated a large number of memorials and must be reviewed one by one, like a mountain, waiting for the emperor to level it alone. Since the throne has not been officially restored and there is no seal in his hand, Han Ruzi cannot formally approve the memorials, but can be reviewed in advance.

Lingyun Pavilion has almost become a warehouse, with boxes and piles of papers, each of which has a copy in the corresponding department and department yamen. It is well documented that if the emperor wants to be lazy and hide a few, it will be revealed soon.

One of the responsibilities of the Prime Minister's Office is to help the emperor handle memorials. Han Ruzi hopes to understand the situation in various places before the court resumes operation, so he has not resumed the ruling of the government. As for the Prime Minister's Office, it has been paralyzed for a long time and cannot play its due role.

Han Ruzi did not read aimlessly, and ordered the Secretariat to gather memorials on disaster situations in various places, and he should give priority to reviewing them.

The situation was not very good, and the more Han Ruzi looked at her, the tighter her brows became.

It was dawn outside, and Zhang Youcai put out the candles. After the emperor put down a memorial, he whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time to have breakfast."

Han Ruzi nodded and said that she was having a meal in Lingyun Pavilion. She looked out the window. There was already a bit of spring in the garden. He couldn't help but remember the scene when he was forced to study. A smile appeared on his face. Then he said to Zhang Youcai: "The grandson of Du has left the capital. Have you heard of it?"

"Well, Du Chuanyun asked Brother Cai to send me a letter, saying... Whenever I was bored in the palace, I would go to play with him. As long as I mentioned the word "Du Chuanyun" in the world, no one would know, and I would definitely find him."

Han Ruzi laughed loudly, and when he heard this, it was Du Chuanyun's arrogant tone, "It's a pity that they refused to stay. I was just trying to reuse them."

The food was ready, and Han Ruzi went to the next room for meals. When he had almost the same food, Zhang Youcai continued to say just now: "The grandson of Du, especially Du Chuanyun, is really worth it."

Han Ruzi's thoughts had turned to something else. When she heard this, she was slightly stunned, "Why?"

"They are not following the rules, they do it once or twice, and this will make it difficult for His Majesty to let them go, and the others will not follow the rules. So it is better for them to walk around the world."

Han Ruzi felt lost. There are really people in this world who he wants to use but cannot use. Yang Feng said that the emperor must understand what he cannot do, but he does not give up, but bypasses the "can" and uses "can" to achieve his goals.

An eunuch hurriedly ran up, knelt on the ground, presented a document with both hands, interrupting the emperor's thoughts, "The Ministry of War has stepped up."

The documents had been taken apart, and the Ministry of War had obviously read them and felt that 100,000 yuan was urgent, so they stamped the seal and sent it directly to the palace, rather than handing it over step by step according to normal procedures.

Han Ruzi glanced at him and his face suddenly changed, "Go to Qinzheng Palace."

Although the emperor did not come, the ministers of the government affairs office in Qinzheng Hall could not absent from work. They would come over to say hello every morning, say a few polite words to each other, and then go back to our office to work.

Yin Wuhe has been seriously ill. Han Xing and Cui Hong were away. Qinzheng Hall became deserted, leaving only the right censor Shen Mingzhi. The Minister of Personnel Feng Ju and the Minister of Rites Yuan Jiuding. Yuan Jiuding was particularly embarrassed. He was selected by the Queen Mother to be in the Qinzheng Hall. Now that the Queen Mother has lost power, his position has become very dangerous. He has to come to Qinzheng Hall, but he dare not act as a matter of course. Every time he guards the door like he was punished to stand, and anybody can blow him out in one breath.

Han Ruzi issued several orders on the road, convening Jiang Juying, Minister of War, Cui Hong, Grand Marshal of the Southern Army, Chai Yue and Liu Kunsheng to come to Qinzheng Hall together.

The camps of the southern and northern military camps were outside the city, and the generals came slowly, and the Minister of War was close to each other, earlier than the emperor.

The news has spread, General Han Xing was defeated, and Hangu Pass has been taken away by Shangguan Sheng.

Han Ruzi couldn't understand how such a thing would have happened. Han Xing had tens of thousands of soldiers, the city was as strong as a city and the terrain was beneficial. Facing Shangguan Sheng, who had only thousands of remaining soldiers, there was no reason to be defeated.

As soon as he walked into the Qinzheng Hall, the four ministers present and several officials from the Secretariat immediately knelt down. Han Ruzi waved his hand to signal them to get up and strode forward. Instead of sitting on the throne aside, he stood at the table and said to Jiang Juying: "Give me an explanation."

The four ministers looked at each other. The emperor's position usually belongs to the prime minister. It was a bit unusual for him to stand there, but no one dared to say anything. Jiang Juying, the Minister of War, dared not. He was instructed by the champion Hou to openly confront the Jue Hou at that time and suffered a crushing defeat.

When the champion Hou finally got up, Jiang Juying did not follow him, but after all, there were stains on her body and was very scared. When she heard the emperor's questioning, she immediately knelt down and said, "My minister..."

"Get up and talk." Han Ruzi said.

Jiang Juying stood up, did nothing, was already sweating profusely. She glanced at the right-supervisor Censor Shen Mingzhi, and felt relieved, "The front line is in chaos, the first letter was sent by Shang County. It may be a mistake. Wait a little longer to get more accurate news..."

"Well, you can wait, but you can't wait. No matter what the reason, if the general is defeated and Hangu Pass is lost, how should the court respond?"

Several ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all hoped that the other party would speak first.

Yang Feng walked in and stood behind the emperor. He was not a minister of political affairs, so there was no need to inform him.

Jiang Juying was the Minister of War, so he could only speak first, "In my foolish opinion, even if Shangguan Sheng wins, it would be a lucky person. There is no need for the court to make a big move. In a short time, the general will be able to turn defeat into victory."

To declare his sentence, Feng Ju supported the view of the Minister of War. Yuan Jiuding, the Minister of Rites, umbrella a few times, and was not even sure that he was qualified to stand here. It was not until the emperor's eyes that he said: "The general... will surely be able to... turn defeat into victory."

Han Ruzi didn't listen very seriously. He knew that the talents of these ministers were not in the war and would definitely not come up with good ideas. He just used the time when the four of them spoke to recall the memorials he had read.

The Northern Army Chief Chai Yue and the Northern Army Commander Liu Kunsheng arrived. On the way, he had heard the news of the defeat of Hangu Pass. After visiting the court, Chai Yue immediately said: "There must be abnormal in Hangu Pass, either the news is false, or the general himself has a problem."

When the ministers heard that "there was a problem" had other meanings. Feng Ju, the Minister of Personnel, said in surprise: "It's not that. The general is an important minister of the royal family and has always been loyal to the court..."

Chai Yue explained: "I mean the general may die unexpectedly, and gave Shangguan Shengke the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Korean stars are not young and may die suddenly, but the timing is too coincidental.

Chai Yue continued: "No matter how late, the court should immediately send generals to the east, and there is still a chance to recruit defeated troops and seize Hangu Pass."

Han Ruzi had a choice, and it was Chai Yue himself. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Feng, behind him, gently kicked the emperor's heel.

Han Ruzi immediately understood Yang Feng's intention. Chai Yue was just a "general" in the emperor's mind. For the people of the world, Chai Yue's position, reputation and prestige were not high enough. It was difficult for him to gather the old subordinates of Korean stars when he traveled eastward.

He took back his appointment and said, "If Shangguan Sheng really seizes Hangu Pass and sticks to it, the problem will not be big. If you take it back, I am only worried about one thing: the disaster in Guandong is serious, the food and relief is too late, and the implementation is not effective. Since the beginning of spring, the number of refugees will inevitably increase. If Shangguan Sheng joins the thieves from all over the country, it will be a big trouble."

Han Ruzi once tried every means to open warehouses and release grain in various places, but the memorials he saw in the past few days showed that his efforts were only successful.

Without an imperial edict, it is a dead end. Officials from all over the world have different attitudes towards opening warehouses. The more serious the disaster is, the less willing the officials are to open warehouses, fearing that there will be insufficient food and eventually lead to greater chaos.

Han Ruzi had long wanted to make up for the imperial edict, but the "immunity" without the seal could be recognized by the officials in the capital. If they were sent outside the capital, their effectiveness would be weakened. Believe it or not, and local officials would choose by themselves.

Shen Mingzhi suggested that the Minister of Revenue and the Zuo Cha Censor Xiao Sheng also called him.

The two arrived quickly, especially Xiao Sheng, who seemed to be waiting outside the gate and arrived as soon as they called, and their attitude was much more positive than others.

Facts show that ministers are not stupid. When they think hard, they can still come up with good ideas. "The most urgent task is to tell the world that the Great Chu will rectify the chaos, Your Majesty will return to the supreme, the court will be stable, and the military and civilians will be united. Shangguan Sheng is ruthless and hijacks the children of the royal family. Everyone can kill him. He has no way to escape, and his soldiers will inevitably be dispersed."

The Minister of Revenue arrived a little later and did not make any comments. Instead, it proved the emperor's speculation that the situation in Kanto is not optimistic. The number of refugees is indeed decreasing, but it is extremely unstable. These people have no land to plant. Once the spring plowing season is over, it is still difficult to have a harvest this year and it is likely that they will become refugees again.

The Grand Tutor Cui came the latest. He changed his mind several times on the way, but finally came. He made up his mind that if the emperor wanted to send him to quell the rebellion again, he would refuse anyway. Unless his daughter Cui Xiaojun gave birth to a prince, Cui Hong would not feel safe.

Cui Hong even thought of the reason, but the emperor did not send him troops.

Nearly noon, when Taifu Cui arrived, news from Hangu Pass came one after another, and sent it directly to Qinzheng Hall. The Minister of War opened the seal and read it in front of the emperor.

Chai Yue guessed correctly. General Han Xing did have an accident, but he did not die of illness. His health has always been good, without illness or disaster.

The time was just right. It was just when the two armies were about to go to war. The Chu army was unprisoned, and thus the chaos was caused, giving Shangguan Sheng the opportunity to win with less. Now he has occupied Hangu Pass and his next move is unknown.

Han Ruzi couldn't help but turn around and look at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng just got the news yesterday that the Meng brothers and sisters and more than a dozen guards ran eastward and disappeared near Hangu Pass. (To be continued.)8
