The imperial concubine and the ministers looked at the emperor with anticipation. He had performed amazingly in front of the prince of Qi. Both sides believed that the emperor would still make the right choice this time.

"My minister Rong dared to ask, Your Majesty knows what the year name is, right?" a minister stepped forward and said.

This man is short and inconspicuous among a group of officials. Han Ruzi remembers him. This is Xiao Sheng, the censor of the Zuo Cha. The King of Donghai once said that Xiao Sheng was from the Cui family, but during the last court discussion, he and other ministers rebuked the defeat of Grand Tutor Cui.

Xiao Sheng was not a minister of his resignation, but was called to participate in politics because the right censor stated his will to go to the vassal states to announce the edict.

"I know a little bit, can Lord Xiao introduce it?"

Xiao Sheng glanced at the imperial concubine and knelt down, "Emperors of all dynasties have year names, and the emperors of the previous dynasties often had multiple year names. Every time there were so-called auspicious auspiciousness from heaven, they would change the year names. The Great Chu decided to set the tripod, and Taizu set the rules to select the year names from the Tao Te Ching. Each emperor only established one in his life. People often call the emperor by year names, such as Wu Emperor was called "Zhongmiao Emperor", Emperor Huan was "Xianghe Emperor", and Emperor Si was "Huangsheng Emperor". The two emperors shared the same year names, which not only violated the rules set by Taizu, but also confused the people of the world and were confused and confused."

"But the new emperor usually extends the old age number for a period of time, right?" Han Ruzi said.

The imperial concubine watched while watching, her face remained unchanged.

"At most, it will be used until the first month of the following year, and sometimes it can be changed in the middle of the year." Xiao Sheng said these words in front of the imperial concubine, and he was very brave. The other ministers did not say anything, but their expressions were more supportive of the Censor Zuo Cha's statement.

Han Ruzi nodded to the ministers, saying that he understood, and nodded to the imperial concubine, indicating that everything was relieved.

Since he didn't know that such a scene would happen in advance, Han Ruzi could not think carefully about what he wanted to say next, so he had to slow down his speech and make as much consideration as possible. "Emperor Si is my emperor brother. Unfortunately, he died young and sad. The year name of heaven and man is sad. It should be used until the first month of next year. It is just May now, and the empress dowager's sorrow has not yet disappeared, and the rebellion of Guandong has not been put down, and everything is complicated, so it is not advisable to cause trouble again. The year name will be discussed again in December."

The imperial concubine's face looked slightly stiff, and the left censor Xiao Sheng was not satisfied and wanted to fight again. Prime Minister Yin Wuhe said first: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. The year name is not an urgent matter. Qi rebelled, and the world was shocked. The Huns in the north, Baiyue in the south, Qiang tribes in the west, and the princes in the east all had chaos, and they had to be pacified as soon as possible."

The topic then turned back to the war, and the Imperial Concubine did not stubbornly and retreated to the Tingzheng Pavilion, but did not come out again.

In the evening, the imperial concubine came to the emperor's residence, held everyone away, stared at the emperor for a long time, and smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager and I both misread Your Majesty. Your Majesty is not an ordinary child."

"The Empress Dowager doesn't seem to treat me as a child." Han Ruzi was ready to have a debate with the Imperial Concubine. He felt a little confident. The Empress Dowager had not completely subdued the ministers in the court, and would never dare to get rid of the emperor who had just ascended the throne for no reason.

"Well, that's the Queen Mother's fault." The Imperial Concubine was not angry, "The ministers outside regarded Your Majesty as an adult, and wished that Your Majesty would take power immediately."

In order not to cause trouble for any minister, Han Ruzi refused to answer the conversation.

"The minister is not simple. Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager hold power, but the minister has the ability to make power distorted, especially the pen they hold. What kind of person Your Majesty is is not important, and what kind of person the Empress Dowager is, let alone what kind of person you are, and once the reputation is spread, it will be difficult to change it."

Han Ruzi still didn't speak.

"Sometimes I think, do ministers really need a living emperor? In the past few years, the three emperors have passed away, but the court's structure has not changed much. When Emperor Huan was alive, he tried hard to make some changes, promoted some people and demoted some people. But before he knew it, those who were demoted returned, but the promoted people disappeared. They did not die, but it was difficult to appear in the memorial. Once occasionally asked, he learned that they had been sent to the outside of the capital to be officials. As for the reason, two words - convention."

The imperial concubine seemed to have forgotten the existence of the emperor, her eyes narrowed and her brows frowned slightly, "There are too many conventions. It is said that the entire court relies on conventions. Without conventions, the entire Great Chu would collapse. So as long as the emperor did not keep an eye on it, conventions would work and quietly change the emperor's original meaning."

"The emperor is not always correct, so it needs to be adjusted." Han Ruzi knew very well that the so-called emperor is actually the empress dowager, not him.

"It's okay to think so, but in this way, who belongs to Jiangshan? So I always doubt that ministers do not need a living emperor. They want a tablet and an idol, who can't speak or have no mind. Everything is decided by conventions, and the one who operates conventions is ministers."

The imperial concubine stood up. She was not here to teach the emperor a lesson. She had no intention of swearing, "Your Majesty, rest. May 18th is a good day, and the queen will enter the palace on that day."

Han Ruzi stood up in surprise, "But the Qi State Rebellion is not over yet."

"The Empress Dowager feels that the enthronement of the Empress should not be related to the victory or defeat of Grand Tutor Cui. Since the engagement has been issued, the sooner the wedding, the better. Moreover, this is not all the Queen Mother's idea. The Ministry of Rites has been advancing this matter and is ready. This is also a convention. As long as no one stops it, it will proceed smoothly. No need for Your Majesty to worry, everything will come naturally."

The imperial concubine left, Han Ruzi went back to her room to rest, lay on the bed for a while, and made an adventurous decision: I cannot surrender like this, the empress dowager will definitely gain a better future, so she must contact the ministers and seek their help.

This is not the same as the "Lab Edict" that King Donghai once suggested. At that time, he knew nothing about the ministers and the ministers did not know the new emperor. Requesting help would only cause trouble. The facts proved that his judgment was correct at that time. Not only did King Donghai report the news, but the Minister of Rites Yuan Jiuding, who received the "secret edict", also took the initiative to hand over the note to the eunuch Yang Feng.

But now it is different. The emperor and ministers have some understanding of each other. Although they are not deep, they are enough to convince the ministers that the emperor's behavior is serious.

What did Yang Fenghui think? Han Ruzi shook his head in his heart. Yang Feng would definitely not agree with the emperor's actions, but Yang Feng was far away in Guandong, and this eunuch hid too many secrets. Who can guarantee that his actions are for the emperor?

That's how he decided. Han Ruzi fell asleep calmly and practiced the method of reverse breathing silently.

It is easy to make a decision, but it is even more difficult to implement it. Things like "robes and decrees" are absolutely not feasible. Han Ruzi hopes to have a face-to-face conversation with the ministers. The first difficulty is which minister to choose.

From the next day, Han Ruzi made full use of the time he stayed in the Qinzheng Hall every morning to carefully observe the words and deeds of each minister.

Prime Minister Yin Wuhe was first ruled out. He was too old and too sleek. He occasionally acted incompatible with the empress dowager, but he never stuck to the end and was not worthy of relying on.

The Grand Governor of the Military and Horses, Han Xing was also excluded. As a royal elder, Han Xing was not interested in safeguarding the interests of the emperor. The so-called Grand Governor of the Military and Horses was also a false title, with no soldiers or generals under his command.

The Zuo Cha Censor Xiao Sheng and the Minister of Personnel Feng Ju were successively excluded. The former had a unclear relationship with the Cui family, while the latter was an unintentional guy and could not even do his job well.

Some ministers took turns to the Qinzheng Hall to attend the senator. Two of them acted quite straightforwardly, but did not show up often and had no possibility of contact with the emperor.

A few days later, Han Ruzi's eyes turned to the attendants.

The emperor's attendants were all noble children and future pillars of the court. They had no official positions yet, but their fathers and grandparents were both high-ranking officials and important officials.

After several days of observation, Han Ruzi chose Zhang Yanghao.

Zhang Yanghao's grandfather, Piyuan Hou, had just returned to Beijing to recuperate with his injuries. Many officials went to visit him. All signs showed that Piyuan Hou was arrogant and had little contact with Cui and Shangguan. He had a high reputation in the court and had a certain appeal.

Han Ruzi took roundabout means to contact Zhang Yanghao, and asked his servants to practice 100-step fist every afternoon, and it was not until the fifth day that he changed to Zhang Yanghao.

Zhang Yanghao's mood was much better than before. His fists were dancing wildly, but he did not dare to be arrogant in front of the emperor, and he had spare hands everywhere.

The two of them had only passed three moves, and before the emperor could show his good smile, Zhang Yanghao was squeezed away.

The King of Donghai had a gloomy face. When Zhang Yanghao stepped back awkwardly, he whispered: "Congratulations, I'm going to marry the queen in three days."

The emperor's wedding is about to come, and King Donghai's temper is getting worse and worse. Han Ruzi has long been used to it and doesn't care. While blocking King Donghai's soft arms, he said, "You know what I think."

King Tokai's fist danced more urgently, "What ideas do you have? When you encounter such a good thing, just follow the flow."

Han Ruzi felt that King Donghai was simply unreasonable.

Meng Feng came over and stared at the Emperor and the King of East China Sea. The two of them shut their mouths and pretended to punch and kick them.

On the other side, two servants made the fake come true and wrestled into a group. Meng Feng went over to fight. The King of Donghai approached the emperor and said, "Why don't you show your enthusiasm to reject the palace maids? You firmly disagree. The Queen Mother has no choice but to do anything to you."

"So you know!"

"No one in the Cining Palace knows that everyone is pretending to be confused. To be honest, have you tried it on the palace maid... just waiting to use it on my cousin!" The King of Donghai's eyes were almost spitting out of fire. He had never endured it for so long in his life, and he was finally about to explode.

"What are you talking about?" Han Ruzi was glad that he didn't ask for help from Donghai King. This guy was so impatient.

"I'm talking nonsense? You're doing something wrong, so don't I'm talking nonsense?" King Donghai rushed forward. Han Ruzi was wary of it. He punched King Donghai in the stomach. He used the moves correctly. His strength was far worse than Meng Feng. King Donghai shouted, but he was not repelled. He grabbed the emperor's neck with both hands and entangled them.

At first, everyone thought that the emperor and King Donghai were playing tricks. After a while, they found something was wrong and were all shocked. Meng Che jumped over in two steps and did not dare to exert too much force. The other eunuchs and servants also ran over in panic and separated the two of them.

More people pulled Donghai King, which made him feel unfair and shouted angrily: "You are all treacherous ministers, all treacherous ministers! Wait for me..."

Someone blocked his mouth.

The martial arts of the afternoon ended quickly, and the emperor was sent back to Cining Palace, and the King of Donghai was taken to unknown where he was taken.

Han Ruzi felt angry and couldn't calm down after returning to the room for a long time. She went around in circles. Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e followed behind, wanting to change clothes for the emperor, but they couldn't find any opportunity.

Finally, Han Ruzi calmed down a little and planned to take off her clothes when practicing martial arts. She didn't want the eunuchs and palace maids to help her, so she untied her belt and reached out to touch a small paper bag from it.

Someone actually used the "secret edict" trick on the emperor.
