Three hundred and seventieth chapters favorite concubine
Han Ruzi slept late and got up early, leaving a few orders for King Donghai, and went directly to Qinzheng Hall to deal with the government affairs with the Prime Minister and others, and made a statement that he arranged two officials according to his own wishes. Both of them agreed.
The emperor's only requirement for the prime minister is to stabilize the court officials and local officials, and they don't have to do anything for the time being, just don't cause trouble.
Han Ruzi went back to Juanhou's mansion for lunch. After the meal, Zhang Youcai stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to send Concubine Shu back to the palace in the afternoon?"
The concubines in the palace took turns to serve the emperor in Juanhou's mansion, each of whom had three days, and the deadline for Concubine Shu Deng Yun was here.
Han Ruzi hesitated for a moment, "Stay more than one more day."
"Yes." Zhang Youcai agreed respectfully, but he couldn't help but look a little dissatisfied on his face.
Han Ruzi raised his hand and knocked the eunuch's forehead, and smiled and said, "Do your own business."
Zhang Youcai sighed and covered his head, and his courage became even stronger. "Your Majesty, why... why... don't you favor Concubine Shu? She will kill the chickens and ducks in the mansion and will she be impunished?"
"You really want to know what I think?"
Zhang Youcai almost wanted to reply "yes", but suddenly realized that this was a trap. As a close minister, he deliberately inquired about the emperor's intention to cause big trouble. He has been a eunuch since he was a child and understood this truth. He hurriedly shook his head, "I'm very stupid. I can't understand what Your Majesty said. I will inform Concubine Shu and the palace..."
In the afternoon, Han Ruzi summoned several people, and King Donghai had already brought them and introduced them to the emperor in order.
The first one is Zhuo Ruhe. When the emperor was trapped in Jincheng, he led his troops to rescue the siege and became a prisoner of the Huns. During this period, he showed great rewards and received heavy rewards after returning to Beijing, but he has not yet been granted official positions.
Han Ruzi originally wanted Zhuo Ruhe to manage Luoyang, but now she has changed her mind.
"Yunmengze?" Zhuo Ruhe was very surprised. "Of course I am willing to go, but I don't understand military laws, I am afraid that it will delay the imperial court's plan to suppress bandits."
"It's okay, others will be responsible for suppressing bandits. Mr. Zhuo is dedicated to governing the people. I only have two requirements: get rid of corrupt officials and calm the people."
Zhuo Ruhe kowtowed and thanked him. As long as he did not lead the troops to fight, he was still very confident.
Yunmengze has a vast area and spans several counties. Zhuo Ruhe was named Jiangnan Censor and was appointed as an imperial envoy to supervise the administration of these counties as an imperial envoy. He can act cheaply against officials below the county magistrate, punish first and then report, and impeachment of the county magistrate can also be delivered directly to the emperor.
In addition to civil and political affairs, Han Ruzi summoned the person next to him was a general named Shao Kejian. He was selected by the Ministry of War and was good at water and infantry warfare. Han Ruzi personally inspected it and felt that there was something extraordinary. This was the third summoning and giving him the opportunity in person.
"There is no success in suppressing bandits. The general went to Yunmengze to explore military information. I will give you a year to find out the terrain of the zee, the number of bandit camps and bandit soldiers, and calculate how many troops the court needs. After a year, I will try my best to meet your requirements."
Shao Kejian also kowtowed and thanked him. He had already made a preliminary plan in his mind. He had explained it in detail to the emperor before. It really took time to inquire about the enemy situation, and one year was enough.
Han Ruzi called three noble children and entrusted them to Shao Kejian, and took them to Yunmengze to participate in the bandit suppression.
These three people were all suddenly manifested during the tour. One was Xie Cun, the son of Marquis of Zan. Han Ruzi once wanted him to be a criminal, but this person would rather be a general. The other was Miao Yuan, the son of Marquis of Ping'en. In any case, he did show a strong sense of enterprising spirit. The emperor wanted to give him a chance.
Next, the person Han Ruzi met was Hua Bin.
Hua Bin and his son were both in prison, so no one came to save them. When they arrived in front of the emperor, Hua Bin lost the arrogance and loss of the past, and was unable to stand up and was extremely humble.
Hua Bin stayed in Yunmengze for a while and was a VIP of the great bandit Luan Banxiong. She was familiar with the various forces in the Ze. She was interested in the current emperor and immediately started talking nonsense without any concealment.
Han Ruzi did not immediately apply Hua Bin, and after hearing this, he was sent back to prison.
Cui Teng has been with the emperor forever and can't help with other things, but he has a view of Hua Bin, "Your Majesty is not going to use Hua Bin to suppress the bandits, right? This old boy is not upright in his mind, and once he goes to Yunmengze, he will inevitably betrayal."
"So there must be someone who can take him seriously." Since he wants to use bandits to control bandits, Han Ruzi has to be unconventional.
"I can." Cui Teng patted his chest and recommended himself, "Even if he doesn't sleep, I will look at him tightly."
"No, can you be a messenger for me?"
"Of course, will you go to see the Great Chanyu? I will definitely live up to my mission."
Han Ruzi smiled and shook her head, asked the eunuch to lay paper and grind the ink, and wrote a letter in person, handing it to Cui Teng, "This letter is not stamped with any seal, and is not a formal official document of the court, so it must be handed over by the people around me to make the other party believe it."
Cui Teng was happy all of a sudden and grinned, "It turns out that Your Majesty asked me to be a temporary seal. My seal is so good. I can leave and come back by myself. Haha. Who will I send the letter to?"
"Yang Feng."
Cui Tengshen nodded with conscientiousness, as if he had understood something, but in fact he didn't think of anything.
If you want to use the power of the Jianghu people to disagree or even break through the bandits in Yunmengze, no one is more suitable for the "general" who leads the overall situation than Yang Feng. However, Han Ruzi cannot directly issue an imperial edict to Yang Feng, but instead solicit opinions in his personal capacity.
Han Ruzi figured out the tricks of the people in the martial arts world, and sometimes this was more effective than the rules of the court.
Everyone who should see has seen it. The rest is to draw up an imperial edict and form a formal document for the decision made this afternoon. King Donghai took the opportunity to step forward and said, "There is another person, will your Majesty meet?"
Until now, King Donghai has long understood the emperor's strategy, so he feels that he can recommend someone.
Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You go and talk to him first."
"Yes, your Majesty."
Cui Teng was puzzled, "Who is this talking about? He doesn't even have a name."
Han Ruzi didn't write well, so he called a bachelor's degree in Hanlin Academy to teach him orally. He had no time to pay attention to Cui Teng, so Cui Teng had to walk to Donghai King and asked again in a low voice.
This is no secret, but Donghai King pretended to be mysterious and said, "A man who looks at the air."
Cui Teng still didn't remember it.
"His name is Lin Kunshan, and he is also imprisoned in prison, which is quite related to Yunmengze."
"Tsk, I thought it was someone." Cui Teng didn't take Lin Kunshan seriously.
The plan to suppress the bandits has finally taken shape and can be implemented one by one. Although it will take a year to see the results, Han Ruzi did not have to think about countermeasures day and night, and was able to do something else when he was free.
At dusk, he returned to the palace to pay tribute to the two empress dowagers. The biological mother, Empress Dowager Cining, was very happy to hear that the emperor kept Concubine Shu for one more day, "This Concubine Shu looks a bit strange, but as long as His Majesty likes it. His Majesty is still young, so don't hurry, take care of yourself, don't sleep too late, do not overdo the matter in the room, there are more than one concubine in the palace..."
Han Ruzi understood her mother's painstaking efforts, but she really didn't want to have such a conversation. She said goodbye in a hurry on the excuse that the palace was about to close the door and used this as an excuse that she did not go to see the queen.
Of course, the emperor could call the palace gate at any time, but he didn't want to break the rules easily.
In Juanhou’s mansion, Shufei Deng Yun had already prepared a table of wine and food. This time, they were all made in the kitchen, and they were useless from the chickens and ducks in the mansion.
Deng Yun was quite familiar with cooking skills, personally guided her, and even started her hands. The dishes she made were very different from the usual taste. Han Ruzi praised her. Deng Yun became more proud and advised the emperor to eat more, but she did not dare to eat more, especially not to drink.
After going to bed, Deng Yun snuggled beside the emperor. She was not the kind of shy woman. She dared to say anything: "I have already had the same bed with Your Majesty first. I would have been able to give birth to a son for Your Majesty first."
Han Ruzi nodded perfunctorily.
Deng Yun asked again: "Why has the queen never given birth? Have you ever seen an imperial physician?"
"That's not your business."
Deng Yun heard the coldness in the emperor's tone, and was not angry or retreating, and leaned tighter, "If I give birth to my eldest son, can I be the prince?"
"That depends on the situation."
"It depends on whether the queen can give birth to a legitimate son?"
"Um."
"What if it's just that the queen never gave birth?"
"It depends on whether other concubines have given birth to sons."
"But I gave birth to the first one. Isn't it that the eldest son is respected?"
"If there is no legitimate son, those who can do it are respected. The great Chu country cannot be handed over to one of my sons casually. Therefore, if you really give birth to a son, educate him well."
"The children I raised will never be mediocre." Deng Yun was full of confidence.
"If your son becomes the crown prince, wouldn't the Deng family want to be powerful?"
"It's Your Majesty's son." Deng Yun corrected, "All of them are relatives. If the Cui family can be 'shen', the Deng family can't do it?" Deng Yun gently stroked the emperor, "I think I will definitely get pregnant. Your Majesty... Do you want to try again?"
Concubine Shu Deng Yun stayed in the Juanhou Mansion for more than one day, but three days. The next time was a normal rotation. When it was her turn, it was still three days and it was not extended. However, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Concubine Shu was favored and her status was close to that of the queen.
Han Ruzi occasionally went back to the palace to spend the night, and always lived in the Queen's Qiuxin Palace. The relationship between the two has not changed, but they never talked about other concubines, especially Shufei Deng Yun.
Deng Yun is brave and ambitious, and does not hide her from the emperor. This does increase her attraction, but also reduces Han Ruzi's guilt: he needs to establish a favorite concubine to block potential offensives for the queen. Deng Yun's family background and personality are the most suitable.
Han Ruzi hopes that the palace can be peaceful, but if there is a real conflict, he has to ensure that the queen is not affected.
Yang Feng replied that it coincided with the emperor's plan. He had already summoned a group of people from the martial arts world to challenge the Yunmengze thieves. The reason for publication was that Luan Banxiong colluded with a foreign race and betrayed the Chu people. This trick worked very well. Although the people from the martial arts world were unable to save the emperor when the emperor was surrounded, the attack on the scum of the martial arts world later could arouse the righteous indignation of many people. The grandson of Du went to meet with Yang Feng early in the morning.
Yang Feng was going to Hua Bin and Lin Kunshan.
Han Ruzi began to turn his energy to the East China Sea, where ships were being built, which took longer, at least three years, but he had to select qualified generals in advance.
At this moment, the Donghai Kingdom rushed to send a document, disrupting Han Ruzi's plan.
Official documents have nothing to do with pirates, but they can no longer keep the court and the harem calm.
The family of the Wang family of Empress Dowager Cining was found by local officials. (To be continued.)8
