The transfer of the Central Secretariat as the Chief of Juanhou's Mansion almost meant that he withdrew from the court and became a minor official in the border area. The low official position required by Zhao Ruosu surprised the emperor very much.

Zhao Ruosu explained: "Since I am in the court, I will not talk about my secrets. I will not be able to make it open to Your Majesty after I have been freed from my official position. Although the Chief of the Prefecture is also an official in the court, he belongs to the Zongzheng Mansion, half an internal minister and half an external minister, and there is no need to abide by so many rules."

Han Ruzi really didn't feel that it was necessary to be so troublesome, but he respected Zhao Ruosu and smiled and said, "Okay, it's just... I'll talk about the future, and I will transfer you as soon as possible."

Zhao Ruosu bowed and said, "The Secretariat and the Chief of the Hou Mansion are not professions. You do not need to be transferred by Your Majesty personally. The relevant documents will not even be sent to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will wait a moment and let Weichen adjust himself."

"Waiting for the good news." Han Ruzi felt more and more that Zhao Ruosu was a weirdo, but she was hidden and might be the help she needed the most.

Zhao Ruosu retired, and Han Ruzi turned his mind to the search for his relatives, called King Donghai, and asked him to help draft a letter to ask Zongzheng's mansion about the situation of the two marquises of the Wu family.

"The Wu family is not even a relative of the foreigners, and it is indeed not qualified to retain the title. His Majesty is generous and has never asked for any inquiries. The Wu family is really shameless. After so long, he has not taken the initiative to ask for instructions to reduce the title." King Donghai finished writing quickly, "In fact, His Majesty does not need to be so formal, but instead makes a statement. It is better to find someone to vent the swearing to the Wu family and ensure that they take the initiative to give way."

Han Ruzi shook his head and it was a trivial matter to recover the title of Wu family. He wanted to use this to convey his intentions to the prime minister. It seemed that even King Donghai didn't understand the tricks very well.

King Donghai had no feelings for the Wu family. When he saw the emperor shook his head, he naturally would not meddle in other people's business, so he sent the question letter like this.

Zong Zheng’s mansion replied quickly and sent it to Qinzheng Hall the next morning. The Prime Minister Shi Mingzhi specially picked it out and presented it to the emperor, without saying a word.

Han Ruzi wrote a reply in his own hand, which meant that the throne of marquis is now rampant, and those who have no merits will receive a generous salary, and those who have merits will stay at the bottom for a long time, which makes the heroes in the world feel disappointed. For example, the two Wu clans, who are affiliated with the horse, are called marquis without any benefit to the country. I am very worried and ordered the rank of Youshi to remove him as soon as possible. From now on, be careful when he is granted a marquis and do not make similar mistakes again.

The Wu family had no power at all, and now they were completely abandoned. No one was willing to speak for them. Shi Mingzhi received a reply letter, and after reading it, he passed it to other ministers of the government and included it in the to-do matters.

Everything is calm, and there is no debate in the Hall of Qinzheng.

Han Ruzi knew that Shen Mingzhi and others had already understood his intentions.

The king and his subjects should have the same heart and virtue, but they can only communicate with each other through tactful and hidden means. Han Ruzi felt it was incredible and thought it was natural. There were differences between the king and his subjects, but the balance between the same and the same is extremely difficult to grasp. Even Yang Feng could not explain it clearly, so he could only do it for others.

Han Ruzi had high hopes for Zhao Ruosu, and as for official positions, they could be promoted sooner or later.

That afternoon, another Zhongshusband came to Juanhou's mansion to deliver the memorial. He was equally cautious and put down the memorial and bowed to leave. Han Ruzi did not reveal any abnormalities.

But after waiting for a few days, Zhao Ruosu was like missing, with no figure and no news. The emperor had the right to inquire about all the officials' transfers, but Han Ruzi held back and did not want the ministers to notice his urgency and attention.

Yuan Jiuding, the Minister of Rites, had already gone out to the Donghai Kingdom to check the truth. Han Ruzi sent two eunuchs with him, one was Zhang Youcai, the person around the emperor trusted the most, and the other was Jing Yao, who had been pardoned for a while. The emperor wanted to try how much he had left to collect intelligence.

Queen Mother Cining only had one impression of what happened when she was a child, that is, someone called her "sister". Zhang Youcai's duty was to find out if there was such a person.

This kind of thing cannot be urgent, and it will take at least twenty or thirty days to get the result. After Han Ruzi made the arrangements, he began to concentrate on handling the affairs of Yunmengze and Donghai.

The cold winter is approaching, and there is no new progress on both sides. Ships are still being built in the East China Sea. Only one of the Yunmengze strongholds has been built. Yang Feng has recruited many people from the martial arts world and has had several conflicts with the bandits in Ze. However, the scale is too small. Yang Feng did not explain in detail in the official document. When Cui Teng comes back, he may be able to say more.

Yunmeng Zewen has Zhuo Ruhe, Wu has Shao Kejian, and Yang Feng has secretly controlled it. Han Ruzi is not very worried, but there is no general in the East China Sea, which makes him feel at ease.

All the coastal counties and states recommended different generals according to regulations. The Ministry of War first conducted a round of screening, and more than 30 qualified people were rushing to the capital one after another, and the emperor personally selected them.

The Great Wall was relatively calm. When the Xiongnu sent people to protest against Deng Cui's sneak attack, but did not retaliate. Instead, they fled far away before the winter came. Chai Yue disbanded most of the Chu army, leaving only a few stationed in Mayi City and Shattered Iron City. He established a shogunate in Jincheng, and Fang Daye was sent to Liaodong. In name, it was to supervise the repair of the old city, but actually to investigate the terrain and prepare to launch an attack on the Fuyu Kingdom in early next summer.

The Great Chu must punish the Fuyu Kingdom and eradicate a threat from Liaodong.

The Fuyu Kingdom had sent several envoys to confess their guilt and beg for surrender. The court received them normally, but they were not allowed to see the emperor.

Deng Cui and Zhang Yin in the Western Regions had the least news. They first wanted to stabilize the countries in the Western Regions, unify their strength, and then build cities outside the Kunlun Mountains.

The Great Chu is like a chessboard, and Han Ruzi is a chess player. He holds a chess piece in his hand, puts a piece in the east and falls in the west. Some are a place to compete for, and some are long-term plans. There are more than one opponent, but he is not afraid at all, but he is excited about it.

Of course, internal and external troubles are not a good thing. Han Ruzi was obsessed with the process of solving problems. She could feel more deeply what the real imperial power is than ever. Although the court was running slowly, as long as it was properly operated, the emperor's will and orders could always be executed thousands of miles away.

There are people everywhere in the world serving the emperor. Han Ruzi only regretted that the news came too slowly and often took ten days and half a month to deliver it to his desk. When he replied, the matter there was over and the emperor didn't need to give any advice.

This is also one of the important reasons why Han Ruzi was willing to reconcile with the prime minister and court officials. The further away he was, the more distorted his power was. He had to rely on the rules and practices passed down by the ministers for many years to ensure that the imperial power would not be forgotten.

Ten days later, there was no movement on Zhao Ruosu's side, but an accident happened when something that had been forgotten by the emperor.

The unexpected news was brought by Kim Chun-jung.

Jin Chunzhong was unwilling to be a Hun. He would rather have no official or title than go back to Beijing with the emperor. Because he had never made any contributions to the Great Chu, he was arranged to be in the mansion of Juanhou and stand by with Chao Jing and others.

Han Ruzi was not in a hurry to appoint this person, and Jin Chunzhong didn't feel wronged. He stayed in the mansion and waited for an opportunity, but he always saw the emperor every few days, which was a privilege.

Jin Chunzhong usually has nothing to do. If the emperor is too busy, he will not even talk and leave after a while, but he will stay here.

Han Ruzi finally noticed Jin Chunzhong's abnormality and looked up and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"A small thing, your majesty."

"Wait." Han Ruzi finished reading a commentary on his hand. This was a strategy to suppress pirates written by a general from Nanyue County. It was well organized and quite unique.

"Okay." Han Ruzi looked up again, drew a circle on the paper with a pen, and kept the name of the general in his heart, intending to make a decision after seeing him.

Jin Chunzhong took two steps forward, "I risked my life to speak, and I dared to ask Your Majesty to forgive me."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "Since you dare to 'risk', don't be afraid of being convicted, just say it."

Jin Chunzhong's face turned slightly red, and he looked up and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to get rid of the Wu family?"

Han Ruzi was stunned, "Brother Wu Xiu?"

"right."

"How could it be? They are in vain to occupy the throne, but they are actually powerless and have no foundation in the court. I just want to regain the throne. They are not qualified to be a marquis. The marquis of Da Chu cannot be all mediocre."

Speaking of these things, Han Ruzi was a little angry. Logically speaking, only those with high military merits should be granted titles to marquis. During the reign of Emperor Wu, wars were frequent, and many people had military merits. However, when Han Ruzi needed a general, he searched among the hundreds of marquises and could not find a few available people. Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan, was already outstanding. Others either inherited the merits of their ancestors or royal relatives. There were very few people who really got the titles through military merits, and most of them were old and could no longer serve the country.

"Of course, the Wu brothers should not be held as marquis, but they will not be punished to death, right?" Jin Chunzhong said.

"Until death? What did you hear about?" Han Ruzi was really curious.

"Since His Majesty issued an order to seize the marquis, the Wu family thought they would be exterminated, and they were in panic all day long. The yamen, which was unknown, sent soldiers to the Wu family to guard the gate, and did not allow the Wu family to travel at will, saying that they were waiting for His Majesty's imperial edict."

Han Ruzi was shocked and then wondered, "How could the Wu family ask you for it?"

Jin Chunzhong shook his head, "The Wu Mansion is not far from here. I met by chance when I was passing by, and I heard people on the street discussing it, and then I realized that the matter was probably. Originally, this had nothing to do with me, but I think this approach was definitely not Your Majesty's original intention, so I think Your Majesty needs to know."

"Well, you did it right, I should know." Han Ruzi was angry. He could allow his orders to be deviated to a certain extent during the execution of the order, but he could not allow anyone to distort his original intention.

"You retreat first, don't mention this to outsiders."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Chun advised to retreat.

Han Ruzi thought for a while and asked the eunuch to summon Cai Xinghai.

Cai Xinghai took over a guard army, and he followed him wherever the emperor went. He was one of the most trusted close ministers. He arrived soon after hearing the order.

"Do you know Zhao Ruosu, the son of the Central Secretariat?"

"I recognize that I have never seen anyone who often delivers memorials to His Majesty in the past few days."

"Go and find him."

Cai Xinghai was ordering to leave, and Han Ruzi was worried that his order would be misunderstood again, so she added, "Please come."

Although "please" and "find" are only one word different, the consequences are completely different. Cai Xinghai immediately understood and took the order and returned.

It was Zhao Ruosu's idea to seize the marquis, and Han Ruzi wanted to listen to his explanation.
