Chapter 37 Turning the Window
Two more days later, Han Ruzi found the opportunity to talk to the Imperial Concubine alone.
In name, the chief steward of the inner palace was the empress, but Cui Xiaojun was as famous as the emperor, and all power was in the hands of the empress dowager. When the empress dowager was busy fighting for power with the ministers, the inner palace was handed over to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine came to Tai'an Palace where the emperor lives every day to inspect, but it was not easy to stop many followers from being dismissed, so there must be a reason.
The Empress Dowager is the only reason.
"The little queen is angry, the queen mother is a little worried that you will fall to the Cui family." In the evening of that day, the imperial concubine finally could finally retreat from the eunuchs and palace maids without any doubt.
"With King Donghai here, how could I...oh, this is one of the reasons why the Empress Dowager left Donghai." Han Ruzi understood that Donghai was almost the natural barrier of the Cui family, and always reminded Han Ruzi that the Cui family could not accept other emperors.
"The Queen Mother is just a little worried. I believe Your Majesty will not turn to the Cui family. The Cui family is too powerful and the government is paying attention to it, and it is also the part that the Queen Mother is watching the most."
"I never thought about it. Even if I want to, the Cui family doesn't want to." Han Ruzi did not want to seek the support of the Cui family. "What's going on with Luo Huanzhang? He is the master of Donghai King, so he should be considered a member of the Cui family, right?"
"Mr. Luo is not only a famous scholar in the Cui Mansion, but also a famous scholar in the East China Sea. He has taught many disciples, including the Queen Mother and me."
When Emperor Huan was the King of Donghai, he vigorously promoted the rule of the country by benevolence and righteousness. To set an example, he invited well-known Confucian scholars from the country to educate the harem. It took not long and taught the study through the curtain. The teacher and his disciples only heard the sounds but did not see the person. Among the many famous teachers, Luo Huanzhang left the deepest impression on the people in the mansion.
Luo Huanzhang was unwilling to be an official, but he liked to teach. He basically refused everyone. From kings, princes, generals, ministers, and peddlers to peddlers, he had his disciples, and he traveled all over the world. Many friends and even enemies of the Cui family, he never shy away from them, but had a public relationship. In order to gain fame, the Cui family had to be careful to serve the teacher.
There were many ministers in the court who had former disciples from Mr. Luo, most of whom were orthodox royalists. No matter who the emperor was, as long as they officially ascend the throne, they were the target of their protection. When they wanted to contact the emperor in the deep palace, they naturally thought of Luo Huanzhang, who was teaching the history of the country.
Luo Huanzhang thought of Emperor Shangguan.
When the Imperial Concubine was still Duanliang in the Donghai Prince's Mansion, she was responsible for raising the prince and devoted all her efforts to this. When the prince needed a good teacher, she was the first to think of Luo Huanzhang and sent someone to delay the invitation with a large sum of money.
Luo Huanzhang was a busy man. He was traveling abroad at that time. When he returned to the East China Kingdom, the royal family had already invited a master for the prince, but he was willing to replace him for Master Luo at any time. After hearing this, Luo Huanzhang left immediately, and did not even spend the night at home, so he would never want to seize the beauty of others.
Even so, Duan Liangren and Princess of Donghai still regarded Luo Huanzhang as the prince's teacher. The prince wrote letters to Luo Huanzhang for advice from the age of eight. No matter where Luo Huanzhang was, he would reply to the letter. Until the King of Donghai was named the crown prince and the prince became the crown prince, Luo Huanzhang interrupted contact and no longer replied.
The prince must have revealed some details. Luo Huanzhang guessed early that the conflicts between the Shangguan sisters may have been earlier than the parties involved thought. He regarded it as a secret that he shouldn't have known and never revealed it to outsiders, but when he was about to find a contact in the palace, he immediately thought of the imperial concubine.
The military move was a dangerous move, and Luo Huanzhang risked his life. If he had guessed wrongly before, or if the imperial concubine and the queen mother had already been together as before, his temptation was to put a knife on his neck.
He guessed it right.
"Mr. Luo and I don't ask for enlightenment. He is for benevolence and righteousness. I am for revenge. Your Majesty can reward those ministers who secretly support you afterwards. As for Mr. Luo, don't even mention his name."
Recalling Luo Huanzhang's image, Han Ruzi said sincerely: "The King of East China Sea is so lucky."
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "It was the luck of the Cui family. At that time, Mr. Luo was visiting a friend in the capital. This friend happened to offend the Cui family. In order to save the people, Mr. Luo agreed to join the mansion to serve as a Western leader. But he was not from the Cui family. He used to be, and now he is not. Mr. Luo and his disciples have always opposed foreign relatives' interference in politics."
Han Ruzi had a little more trust in her heart, and finally asked the most important thing: "How can I suppress Zuo Ji?"
The Imperial Concubine was silent for a while, "Zuo Ji's affairs are so ugly. I don't want to say it. I can only tell Your Majesty: after sending Your Majesty to Lingyun Pavilion every morning, Zuo Ji will go to the nearby Xianyin Pavilion to rest. If Your Majesty can break in without any preparation, he will most likely catch his handle. Just threaten to steal the matter to the Queen Mother, Zuo Ji will be honest and obedient."
Han Ruzi scratched his head. There were always things in the palace that "can do or not" that were "can be done or not", which confused him. "Even the Empress Dowager doesn't know Zuo Ji's handle, how could the Imperial Concubine know?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Climbing up to look far, but she couldn't see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. The Queen Mother was staring at the Cui family, the court, the King of Qi thousands of miles away, but ignored Zuo Ji around her. There were a few people who knew Zuo Ji's handle, but no one would tell the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother would clean up the whistleblower in anger."
The smile on the imperial concubine's face disappeared. As her own sister and the most trusted person, she did not feel much security in front of the Queen Mother.
The emperor does not have to worry about the queen mother's anger, because he was the puppet that the queen mother would get rid of sooner or later.
Han Ruzi thought for a while, "Xianyin Pavilion, can I catch the handle as long as I suddenly break in?"
"I don't guarantee that I will definitely win. Your Majesty will go to the Xianyin Pavilion for two quarters of an hour before entering Lingyun Pavilion. The most likely thing to hit Zuo Ji's scandal."
"How ugly is it...?"
The imperial concubine smiled and shook her head, and she couldn't say anything.
The two couldn't chat for too long, and the imperial concubine stood up, "I will tell the Queen Mother that His Majesty was grateful for the help of the little queen, but she still had no good feelings for the Cui family."
"Okay." Han Ruzi began to think about how to break into Xianyin Pavilion while listening to the class. Although the two places were not far apart, it was like a thousand-mile raid for the emperor. The imperial concubine had already walked to the door. He suddenly remembered that he had said nothing, "How do you take revenge in the end? How do the ministers deal with the empress dowager?"
The imperial concubine bowed slightly, "Snatching away the power of the Queen Mother is what I want to take revenge. As for how to deal with it, it will be up to Your Majesty to take power."
Ten steps away, within a thousand miles was the place where the imperial power was. The thirteen-year-old Han Ruzi couldn't help but be moved. He knew what the first thing he wanted to do was not to deal with the empress dowager or pursue the King of Qi, but to take his mother to his side. He also wanted to release Liu Jie and let him continue to take charge of the seal if he was still alive in prison.
While sleeping at night, Han Ruzi woke up from her dream several times, thinking that she could hear Meng E's cold voice, but it turned out to be an illusion. He really hoped that Meng E could appear so that she could learn a few light skills from her. He fantasized that he could fly over the eaves and walk straight into Xianyin Pavilion in broad daylight.
I'm afraid Meng E herself can't do this. She and her brother Meng Che haven't appeared for several days, perhaps because they were sent by the Queen Mother to perform the mission.
The imperial concubine pointed out a way, but did not indicate how to bypass the level. The emperor had to find a way.
The solution would not be said to have it. Han Ruzi was thinking all day the next day, but he got nothing. He even wanted to ask King Donghai for help, and soon gave up this plan. His transaction with King Donghai was limited to only once, and there would never be a second time.
The emperor's biological mother had not replied to her. The King of Huahu had already found the address of Wang Meiren, but there was no suitable excuse to visit her. She could only wait for a while before talking.
That night, when the palace maid Tong Qing'e was helping the emperor change clothes, her palms were always stuck, as if she was stroking her. No matter how young Han Ruzi knew what this meant, so she changed the eunuch Zhang Youcai to help, and at the same time she made up her mind to do it as soon as possible.
He did not scold Tong Qing'e. Every move of the palace maid was so clumsy and stiff, and he was obviously forced to do such a thing.
Zuo Ji not only did ugly things himself, but also forced others to be as ugly as him. Han Ruzi vaguely understood what the so-called "ugly" of the Imperial Concubine was. She was disgusted in her heart, but she became more and more determined to deal with Zuo Ji.
The solution was like a lost personal belonging that was accidentally lost. He could not see it. He glanced at it casually and found that it was just a short distance away. Han Ruzi thought about it for two days but did not make a perfect plan. When he was listening to the class on the third morning, he had an idea and found a solution.
The lecturer was an old man with profound skills. He only took a quarter of an hour to talk about King Donghai and two eunuchs and was drowsy. Han Ruzi suddenly stood up and walked towards the door. The old man looked at the emperor blankly, and was still reciting the clip of the "Music Sutra".
Han Ruzi nodded to the old man, pointed at his stomach, and signaled to go out.
The old man did not object. King Donghai was about to fall asleep while lying on the desk. The two eunuchs at the door woke up immediately. Han Ruzi kept walking straight out and rubbed his right hand on his stomach twice.
The old eunuch signaled the young eunuch to follow the emperor, and he stayed and continued to take a nap.
In the next room, the young eunuch brought the bucket clean. The emperor took off his hands and suddenly the solution came out of his heart, "Has the bucket been turned upside down? Why does it smell so big?"
"Ah?" The young eunuch tried not to talk to the emperor. At this time, he was quite frightened, but he was not afraid of the emperor. "Sister will go now..."
The eunuch hurried downstairs with a clean bucket in his arms, and the emperor was the only one left in the room.
The rear window is open.
If you think about it for a while, Han Ruzi might give up this idea, but the eunuch will come back soon and he needs to act immediately.
Lingyun Pavilion has two floors, and the lectures are held upstairs. After climbing out the window, you can step on the eaves on the first floor, which is quite high from the ground. However, there are several big trees nearby, and one of the branches just reached the window. Han Ruzi still didn't think about it. He jumped onto the branches, grabbed the taller branches, ran closer to the trunk for a few steps, and climbed down slowly. The fallen leaves rustled, and he didn't care. If the eunuch discovered it, it would be a mess.
Not far from the ground, Han Ruzi jumped down and felt relieved. When he turned around, he found several servants looking at him with incredible eyes.
The emperor who climbed the window and climbed the trees, they had never even heard of it, but today they saw it with their own eyes.
No one speaks, no one dares to speak, only the fallen leaves are still falling gently.
"Come with me." Han Ruzi said that if these people don't obey the orders, he can only admit that they have suffered a crushing defeat.
