Wang Meiren was taken away by the Queen Mother and her whereabouts were unknown. Even after learning the news, Han Ruzi did not decide to act immediately. Instead, she became more cautious, worried that it would hurt her mother's life.

But the imperial concubine was right. The situation waited for no one, and she was even more impatient with the emperor. What happened in the next two days finally made Han Ruzi decide to take a gamble.

The first thing was that the little eunuch Liang An suddenly disappeared. He was one of the many eunuchs around the emperor, and he followed the crowd to Lingyun Pavilion every day. Since the emperor caught him with Zuo Ji, he became much more honest and never left the team. But he didn't come with him that morning. When Han Ruzi entered Lingyun Pavilion, he turned around and took a look. He did not see the little eunuch at the specified position. Looking at the entire team, there was no figure of him.

Since then, Liang An has never appeared again, and no one has mentioned his name.

In the evening of that day, when Han Ruzi returned to Tai'an Palace to rest, he found that even his personal waiters Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e were gone, and replaced them with two completely unfamiliar people.

He asked casually, but after receiving the perfunctory answer, he had already understood one thing: care without guarantee is even more harmful, and it is still difficult for him to protect himself. The more he cares about whom, the more unlucky he is.

From this he learned that Zuo Ji had taken action.

Zuo Ji's allegiance was not reliable at all. After being honest for a few days, he found that the emperor did not seem to be as prepared as he imagined, so he began to take action, first removing the "evidence" Liang An, and then tracking down the person who reported to the emperor. He did not suspect the imperial concubine for the time being, but captured the waiter beside the emperor.

Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e knew nothing about the emperor's affairs, and Zuo Ji would sooner or later take more intense measures.

After Han Ruzi made these inferences, she felt that she could not wait any longer and would rather replace the known danger with unknown danger.

The Imperial Concubine and Luo Huanzhang are unknown dangers.

On June 20, the third day of Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e being taken away, it was drizzling, from morning to night, the emperor rested for a day. At around the afternoon, he picked up his pen to prepare for drafting the imperial edict, and the imperial concubine stood aside and dictated.

The Imperial Concubine is the Empress Dowager's sister. When she takes away the waiters, she will not be suspicious.

"I am a young man and flattering the great deeds..." The imperial concubine slowly recited, first humbled herself for the emperor, then recalled the great achievements of the three ancestors of Taizu, Lie and Wu. Then she sighed at Emperor Huan, Emperor Si's successive collapse, and turned her pen to point out that the Great Chu court was controlled by traitors and was in danger. The emperor ordered all his ministers to protect the emperor in the name of the ancestors of the Han family.

When Han Ruzi heard this, she guessed that this was Luo Huanzhang's writing style. She felt it was too long and she still wrote it in a stroke.

Finally entering the substantive stage, the imperial concubine said absurdly: "The Grand Marshal of the Southern Army, Shangguan Xu, acted rebelliously and had ill-behaved. He should not be in charge of the imperial guards. He had seals and ribbons on him and was dismissed for the people." She stopped and pointed to the emperor's pen, "Please leave a blank of four or five words here, and then write 'The important minister of the bones, which the late emperor believed, I will be the Grand Marshal of the Southern Army, and act cheaply'."

Han Ruzi wrote, put down his pen, looked up and asked, "In other words, the person who received this imperial edict can make anyone the Grand Sima of the Southern Army?"

The Imperial Concubine nodded and said no.

"Don't I need to know who it is?" Han Ruzi didn't hold a pen.

The Imperial Concubine sighed and said, "Does Your Majesty understand the dangers of his situation?"

"Of course, once the Queen Mother has a more suitable puppet, she will replace me and even kill me."

"But does Your Majesty understand what step the Queen Mother has already taken?"

Han Ruzi shook his head. He knew his ending, but he knew nothing about the Queen Mother's specific plan.

"The Queen Mother needs a younger puppet. It would be best if His Majesty could give birth to the prince, but otherwise, there would be King Donghai."

"Tonghai Neptune?"

"The King of Donghai is also the son of Emperor Huan, so his son is naturally qualified to succeed the throne."

Han Ruzi was speechless. It turned out that he was not even the only one who was a puppet.

The Imperial Concubine continued: "Your Majesty knows that there is a position of internal living order in the palace."

"Yes." Han Ruzi certainly knew that the Living Order was a eunuch who had come to record the emperor's husband and wife's way, but he returned disappointed.

"If your Majesty has the opportunity to see the inner daily notes he wrote, he will see bad deeds, and any of them is enough to prove that Your Majesty is not suitable to be emperor."

Han Ruzi widened his eyes and said, "Good deeds? I did nothing..." He did do something that was inconsistent, but calling it "Good deeds" was really a false accusation.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "What Your Majesty has done is not important. The pen is in the hands of the Neiyu's daily order, and he only accepts the order of the Queen Mother. The Neiyu's daily notes are usually secret and unannounced, but they will be transferred to the historian regularly. This part will be recorded in the history of the country. When future generations look at it, they only know that Your Majesty is a false emperor and has no choice but to abolish it by the Queen Mother."

"Hey, I wish I could be abolished." If I could not take the emperor seriously, Han Ruzi hoped to return to her former life.

The imperial concubine smiled more clearly, "Being abolished is just a saying, and none of the deposed emperors of all dynasties can live long."

This is a convention. Just like the imperial edict drawn up by the empress dowager, it appears to be generous but actually observing it. Naturally, someone will act as a ruthless act on behalf of the empress dowager.

"I understand all these, but I still want to know who the ministers who support me outside are."

The smile on the imperial concubine's face slowly disappeared, "Your Majesty was killed and had to save herself, but the ministers in the court took the initiative to go through fire and water. Once exposed, the crime and the nine tribes would bear greater risks. They were willing to take risks for Your Majesty, but they did not want to take meaningless risks. Mr. Luo must do everything possible to protect them. He did not tell me which ministers were involved."

"In other words, whether this matter is successful or not depends on Luo Huanzhang alone, and I can only believe him."

"I believe in Master Luo." The Imperial Concubine took a step back. "This pen is in His Majesty's hand. Whether to write or not is decided by His Majesty. If His Majesty doubts everyone, then he will not need any help."

Han Ruzi picked up the pen again. The imperial concubine was right. He had no more choice, but he still said: "I know that the person who passed the note was not Zhang Yanghao."

The Imperial Concubine was slightly stunned, "Zhang Yanghao... said to His Majesty himself?"

Han Ruzi shook her head, "There are some things that needless to say. Luo Huanzhang will not appoint people like Zhang Yanghao, that's all."

"As it said, this matter is very important and there is no need to be sure. The less you know in the inner palace, the better."

Han Ruzi continued to write, but she was very disgusted with the sentence "The less you know, the better". If they don't believe in the emperor's ability, why should they take the risk of saving the emperor?

The seal and the unknown person were deprived of Shangguan Xu of his seal and given it to an unknown person in just a few short lines. Then the imperial concubine asked the emperor to write a large paragraph of high-sounding words. In this way, the truly useful content only occupies a small paragraph in the middle of the imperial edict.

"You want to use this imperial edict to deceive Jing Yao?" Han Ruzi immediately understood the purpose of it after writing it.

The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so smart. It is impossible to steal the seal from Jingyao. I often help the Empress Dowager handle government affairs in Qinzheng Hall. I will give Jingyao a seal with the draft order. I hope that I can catch up with the times when the orders are many, and put His Majesty's imperial edict in it."

"Will Jing Yao not find out?" Han Ruzi was a little surprised. The imperial concubine's idea was very simple, but the risk was also very high.

"Jing Yao's eyes only stared at the seal, never looked at the content of the decree. If he really looked, I would be the first martyr to be loyal to His Majesty."

Han Ruzi had nothing to say. He was taking risks, and the imperial concubine took even greater danger.

Maybe I was too suspicious, maybe there were people in this world who devoted themselves to benevolence and righteousness without seeking rewards, and Han Ruzi remembered Liu Jie, who protected the seal with death, and had more confidence.

The same imperial edict was written again, and the imperial concubine explained: "Just in case, Shangguan Xu was very alert. If the secret edict is discovered, there will be a backup."

Then the imperial concubine dictated the third imperial edict, with almost no change in the beginning and end. However, the most critical middle paragraph was to exempt Cui Hong from his position as a tutor and general, and ordered him to obey his orders, and it was still blank for whom he had his seal and ribbon to be transferred to.

There is also the fourth imperial edict, this time the position of General of the Inner Court was exempted from the position of General of the Central Court. General of the Central Court was responsible for commanding the guards of the palace. The replacement was to protect the emperor's safety in a timely manner.

This is enough. There is no need to seize all the forces of the capital city, including the Northern Army, the patrol city patrols, and other forces. As for the Chinese officials in the court, as long as the emperor controls the army, they will come to visit.

After the imperial edict was written, the imperial concubine folded it and carefully put it in place, preparing to say goodbye, "The Grand Tutor Cui Hong is about to return to the capital. Please wait for the good news."

Han Ruzi sat down by the bed, listening to the drizzle outside, and felt empty. He really did it, and he did not turn around, and the next thing was no longer controlled by him: he was the real emperor and could bring his mother to his side; he was defeated, and he would be the "bad emperor" with a "bad record" and recorded in the history of the country.

"Emperor..." Han Ruzi murmured to himself, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind: the hall was gloomy, red pillars were so high that they could hardly be seen. The sunlight that was accidentally shining in lost its sharpness and was only submissive, afraid of destroying the solemn atmosphere here. The blurred old emperor sat on the high throne, thinking that there was no one nearby, and said in a lonely voice: "I am a lonely man."

The emperor is always lonely, and puppets are like this, and the wise king is no exception. He is as great as Emperor Wu, and he cannot escape the cover of loneliness.

Han Ruzi could no longer tell whether this picture was his own imagination or whether it was true. He sat there, and his heart was gradually filled with something. He thought that he could not just wait. The queen mother was taking risks, the imperial concubine was taking risks, Luo Huanzhang was taking risks, and those ministers who didn't know who were also taking risks. How could the emperor "wait for good news" here?

The door opened, and the eunuch Zhang Youcai and palace maid Tong Qing'e came in. They were standing in front of the emperor with wounds and tears on their faces.

Zuo Ji changed his mind again and he was demonstrating to the emperor.
