Chapter 433 Arrogant guests
The emperor invited his uncle's family in the palace, and there was also a "family banquet" in Juanhou's mansion. Chao Jing and more than a dozen young men from fishing villages gathered together to drink. They didn't have to pay attention to rules, ate and drank in a sea of mortals, and made piles of bold words. They all had the spirit of commanding thousands of troops, and vowed to defeat the thieves in the future and attacked the Huns outside the border, but they were indifferent to the confusion in front of them, and no one was willing to get up and clean up. % Chinese % novel
They knew that it was New Year's Eve two days later, and they knew that the emperor was hosting a banquet for relatives in the palace. The mature and steady adults were all taking turns in the palace, and they were the ones who were in charge of the entire Juehou Mansion, so there was no need to worry at all.
"When we capture the Great Shanyu alive, I will make him kneel down and say to him, 'Did you move the Emperor of Great Chu? Do you think it's okay to pat your butt and leave? I'm immortal. Come back to the capital with me and kowtow to the emperor to confess my guilt, and then return the dragonfly to me."
Chao Jing was drunk too much, his face turned red, holding a cup in one hand, and pointed at the companion opposite him with the other hand, and angrily scolded him, as if it was the Great Shanyu himself. Half of the people on both sides were sleeping, and half of them echoed loudly: "Kowtow, kowtow quickly."
My companion was even more drunk and looked at Chao Jing blankly, "I, I haven't snatched your dragonfly. It's him, Lao Qi, remember? When I was a child, the big dragonfly you caught by the river was snatched away by Lao Qi. Please ask him for it, don't look for me, I did nothing." As he said that, he cried for no reason.
Others didn't notice that he was talking at all, especially Chao Jing, who was still angrily scolding the "Da Shanyu".
Han Ruzi came to Juanhou's mansion and saw this scene in his other home. He stood at the door, followed by a row of stunned guards.
The drunk boys were immersed in their own world, with only one pointing at the door and giggling: "I saw the emperor, haha, I saw the emperor."
Han Ruzi shook her head helplessly, holding the emperor on her back, wondering what the others looked like, probably not much better than those like Chao Jing.
When he came to the study, it was spotless and neatly tidy. There was no charcoal basin installed, and it was not too cold. The traces of Zhao Ruosu could be seen from the way the books were placed. The classification was very detailed, including classics, history, and collections, and then sorted by time to facilitate search.
Before he could do anything, the door was knocked open. Liu Jie, the chief supervisor, rushed in and knelt on the ground, with a look of horror on his face, "Your Majesty..."
Han Ruzi raised his hand and signaled Liu Jie not to speak, and then took a listening attitude.
Liu Jie was confused, hurriedly shut up and listened carefully. Apart from his heavy breathing, he had no special sound, and he was even more confused.
"Everyone in the world is preparing for the New Year, and that cheerful sound can be heard no matter how far away it is." Han Ruzi said softly, closing his eyes slightly, as if he really heard some kind of sound.
"Yes, the Chinese New Year is coming. Please let us have a stable New Year. Your Majesty will leave the palace privately. The Queen Mother and the Queen are worried. We cannot bear this responsibility."
Han Ruzi smiled and said, "What kind of emperor do you think I am?"
Liu Jie was stunned and did not dare to answer the conversation.
"I have read some historical books and think that the emperors are different. There are emperors in the palace, emperors in the city and emperors in the world. Taizu is the emperor in the world. He has built the great Chu country and has traveled all over the world. After Taizu, the emperor's scope has become smaller and smaller. Emperor Lie and Emperor Wu are the emperors in the city. They often leave the palace or even go out of the city and occasionally go to the distance. It is not a common practice. Other ancestors are emperors in the palace."
Liu Jie was speechless and said after a while: "The foundation laid by Taizu makes it less difficult for future generations to do so. The ancestors and ancestors can govern the world in the palace and in the city, which shows the benefits of rules. The so-called governance with hunches is probably what it means."
"How long can the foundation laid by Taizu last?"
"Forever and forever."
"Mr. Liu also speaks flattery. From ancient times to the present, where did the 'forever' come from'?"
"For thousands of years, it is the hope of the people in the world, and it must be the hope of His Majesty."
Han Ruzi signaled Liu Jie to get up, and after watching him stand up, he said, "Of course, I hope so too, so I can't sit in the palace and enjoy the benefits left by Taizu. I'll sit in the empty house and eat nothing. No matter how much family business is, I can't stand everyone's 'hangover'. I have to leave something for future generations."
"Then, there's no need to leave the palace." Liu Jie felt that the emperor was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and he was a little overwhelmed.
Han Ruzi came to Juanhou's Mansion not to argue with the eunuch, and said, "Go outside and take a look. When I entered the mansion, I saw someone stumble around. If it was a guest, bring him in."
Liu Jie opened his eyes wide, "The stabbing incident has just passed..."
"Ask him clearly about his identity and origin, and bring him in without any questions. I guess if there were any assassins, they wouldn't be so stupid that they would peek outside the mansion in broad daylight. Moreover, no one knew about my trip, and the assassin wouldn't expect that it would be the safest thing to see people at this time."
Liu Jie thought about it and thought, but he was speechless, so he had to withdraw according to the order.
Han Ruzi sat in the study and read a book. Not long after, people from the palace arrived. Cai Xinghai and others wanted to strengthen defense for Juanhou's mansion, while others were ordered by the empress dowager and the queen to urge the emperor to return to the palace.
"I will not go back if I have met the people I should meet," Han Ruzi said to the third group of envoys.
After that, Liu Jie, who had been delaying outside for a long time, finally brought in a guest.
Han Ruzi never expected that there would be a guest outside before, and the guest would not expect that the emperor would come today, and he also saw and summoned him. Both sides were surprised, and the guests had more surprises.
It was a young man in his thirties, wearing an old robe, looking neat, but after staying outside for a long time, his face turned blue and his nose turned red. When he entered the house, he still couldn't control his trembling body.
The young man knelt down and jumped in from outside without waiting to speak.
Chao Jing finally heard that the emperor was coming, so scared that he woke up seven minutes. He immediately ran over, but the eunuchs couldn't stop him, "Your Majesty, please spare your life. We don't drink normally, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Then... Woo, let Your Majesty catch him and show his presence."
"I promise you drink before the tenth day of the first lunar month and leave." Han Ruzi was a little embarrassed. Meeting a stranger was the most interesting thing in recent days. He was about to show his emperor's majesty, but he was completely destroyed by Chao Jing.
Chao Jing was stunned for a while, and then he found that there were outsiders in the study. So he stepped down awkwardly, returned to the back hall, and said generously to his panicked companions: "It's okay, I'm going to come from His Majesty. You can drink before the tenth day of the lunar month, and you can stop drunk!"
There was a lot of cheers in the hall.
In the study, Han Ruzi continued to look at the guests, and four eunuchs including Liu Jie were accompanying each other, and no guards followed him, which means that there was no problem with this person.
"I Han Xi bowed to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live." The guest reported to his home, and the rules began to work again.
The surname of this person, coupled with Liu Jie's slackness, Han Ruzi understood, "Are you a clan's family?"
"Yes, I am the descendant of Emperor An and the great-grandson of the Marquis of Anyang."
Emperor An was the third emperor of the Great Chu. He had not been in power for a long time. By the time of Han Ruzi's generation, family affection had long faded, but it was still a bit strange that a clan was dressed so worn.
"Did you come to see me specifically?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have been waiting for Your Majesty outside the Marquis' Mansion for at least three months."
Han Ruzi was even more surprised. A month ago, he came to Juehou's Mansion almost every day, but he had never seen this person before. He immediately realized that coming here was a routine matter at that time. The Guards cleared the streets early, and Han Xi had no chance to let the emperor see them.
"Since you are a clan, why don't you ask for a visit through Zongzheng's mansion?"
Han Xi kowtowed and replied: "The Marquis of Anyang was demoted to the marquis for his crimes. When the grandfather of his superior minister was pardoned, he was not restored to the marquis. He was named Hu Ben Camp and had no power or power. He once sent a memorial to Zongzheng Mansion. I believe they did not send it to His Majesty."
Liu Jie, the chief supervisor of the Central Office, coughed gently and shook his head slightly to the emperor to express his dissatisfaction.
Han Ruzi understood what Liu Jie meant. As soon as Han Xi saw the emperor, he said that the Zongzheng Mansion was not good and his behavior was not good. No wonder no one informed him after staying outside the door for three months.
"Now you see me, what do you have to say?"
Han Xi kowtowed again, "I beg your Majesty to give your kindness and restore the title of Marquis of Anyang."
It turned out that he was seeking a throne, and Han Ruzi was quite disappointed. If he thought about it carefully, he still achieved nothing in his life in his nearly thirty years old, and he didn't look like an outstanding talent.
"I invited the children of the royal family who were successful in civil and military affairs a few days ago. You are not among them, right?"
"If the ministers fail to achieve their civil service, they will not succeed, and they will not be able to enter the eyes of the Zongzheng Mansion."
Han Ruzi felt even more bored, smiled at Liu Jie, and said to Han Xi: "The court has its own rules to restore the throne, so you should apply according to the normal procedures. I cannot go beyond the level."
If a normal person is at this time, it should be understood that the emperor is refusing, but Han Xi is a bit as energetic as an uncle of the Wang family. He does not distinguish between occasions and does not distinguish between relatives and distances. He kneels down and says, "Zongzheng Mansion is the 'power house'. I have no power or power, and I cannot ask for it, so I come to beg Your Majesty."
Liu Jie was about to scold Han Xi, drive him out, and then take the opportunity to advise the emperor, hoping that the emperor would not be able to see outsiders at will and should believe in the choices of the various departments of the court.
However, Han Ruzi did not let Liu Jie speak, and insisted on explaining it clearly to this ignorant clan's clan.
"What achievements have you made?"
"I haven't made any contributions?"
"What's so outstanding?"
"I have nothing more than braver than others."
"Is there any precedent for restoring the throne after several generations?" Han Ruzi asked Liu Jie.
Liu Jie was actually not very clear, but replied immediately: "No, at least he must make a contribution, and it is a great contribution to be a marquis."
Han Ruzi turned to Han Xi: "Why should I restore Anyang Marquis?"
Han Xi kowtowed again, then raised his head and said: "I have not made any contribution because the court refuses to use it; I have no excuses because I am in a mediocre place and have no way to reveal it. I ask Your Majesty to try it out and I will make a great contribution."
This person is indeed brave enough and arrogant.
Liu Jie and others frowned, but Han Ruzi smiled, "Let me tell me what you can do first?"
"I would like to go out to the west to find out the enemy's end for Your Majesty. I will never regret death. If I can survive by chance, I would like to ask Your Majesty to be a marquis."
Han Ruzi himself didn't think so far, but a down-and-out clan's son thought of it. (To be continued.)
