Chapter 445 Prime Minister Candidates

It took a day before Donghai Wang to report the situation to the emperor to show that he was not very familiar with Mrs. Ping'en.

"There are many people who come to the palace to plead with mercy. Mrs. Ping'en also came, but she said that she was just following the crowd. The other person in charge was the wife of Feng Ju, the Minister of Personnel. Finally, her words worked. His Majesty's children of the labor nobles today, and they must treat the prince in the future, right?"

The prince has not been born yet and has received more attention than his father has received in the past decade.

Han Ruzi asked, "Who do they plead with?"

Tokai Neptune answered with a wry smile, and there were some things he could not say.

Han Ruzi understood the meaning of a wry smile. In fact, he had guessed it, but he just needed to confirm it.

There was no one around, and the King of Donghai stepped forward and whispered: "What will Your Majesty do?"

"Military orders are like mountains, and I cannot let the 'child army' return to Beijing early."

"Of course, but dozens of imperial wives came to plead for mercy, and the palace did not react at all. It seemed... too ruthless, right?"

Han Ruzi was in a very difficult situation. He did not want his mother to interfere in politics, but he did not want outsiders to think that Empress Dowager Cining had no power. Her mother was suffering most of her life and should enjoy the stars.

"What's your idea?" Han Ruzi even made a decision in his heart, he had to ask others what he thought first. This was the imperial technique he learned from the book and had developed a habit.

[ m.qulu.m

But King Donghai wanted to try his best to understand the emperor's true thoughts, "Except for not being able to return to Beijing early, what concessions can His Majesty make?"

"Rewards? They are just marching, not fighting, and have no military achievements."

King Donghai smiled and said, "What those destiny women care about is not military achievements, but whether their descendants can bear it, well..."

King Donghai glanced at the emperor, gave up speculation, and said directly: "Your Majesty may allow the 'Son Army' to carry the servants to make the march a little more comfortable."

"It is the power of the general to carry servants."

"If Your Majesty does not make any concessions at all, it will be simple. I will issue an imperial edict to ask the nobles and ministers to take good care of their own women."

Han Ruzi smiled, "Let me think about it."

The Tokai Neptune stopped at the right time and didn't say anything more.

At noon that day, Han Ruzi returned to her bedroom and had a meal with the queen.

The queen seemed a little restless these two days. After dinner, Han Ruzi said casually: "The Queen mentioned the 'Son Army' the night before. I kept thinking that I might have done a bit too much."

There was an eunuch and a palace maid present, Han Ruzi called him "I". Cui Xiaojun also had to abide by the rules, stood up and retreated, and replied: "I just mentioned it casually, Your Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart."

"The father and brother of the 'Children's Army' are both pillars of the court. I should indeed consider their feelings more. The military order is like a mountain and cannot be changed. Moreover, the 'Children's Army' has set out for five days, and it is too late to recover it. However, it is possible to allow all families to send servants. Many of the children are still young and need someone to take care of them for the first time."

Cui Xiaojun showed joy on his face, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, "Your Majesty is kind, and everyone will be grateful."

"There are at most two servants, two thousand people. Don't turn into tens of thousands when you return to Beijing."

Cui Xiaojun smiled and said, "There should be a limit. Does Your Majesty need someone to write a letter to express his feelings and then issue an order?"

“That’s best.”

The emperor rarely takes the initiative to add or change his decree, which will not appear to be steady enough. In terms of procedure, the emperor always faces many opinions.

The court's reaction was unexpectedly quick. Some memorials were sent in the afternoon that day. The Prime Minister Shen Mingzhi specially picked them out and sent them to Lingyun Pavilion.

The emperor's reply was soon back, and Kaien allowed all families to send servants to the army.

A large number of servants actually followed not far behind the "Son Army" and were afraid to enter the military camp.

The decree arrived at the Ministry of War and sent it with an urgent message overnight to chase the "Son Army" on the way.

The matter came to an end, but Han Ruzi was dissatisfied with Feng Ju. A minister who might become the prime minister, his wife actually went to the palace to tell the Empress Dowager. If Feng Ju knew about it, he would be suspected of indulging him. If he didn't know about it, he would not be strict in his family. In either case, he was not suitable to rule the ruling court.

Han Ruzi also wanted to have an open and honest conversation with her mother. Empress Dowager Cining still loved her son as always, but some of her actions were helping her.

Neither of these two things was in a hurry, and Han Ruzi was held by another news.

After seeing the Holy Military Advisor, Jin Chunzhong found that he was unable to make a living: he did not take the words of those who look at the qi seriously, and if something really happens in the future, he will not be able to take responsibility; if he takes it seriously, he may take the bait and become a tool of those who look at the qi.

After some thought, Jin Chunzhong decided to report to the emperor truthfully.

When the memorial of pleading was delivered, Han Ruzi was listening to Jin Chunzhong telling about his meeting with the Holy Military Advisor. He wrote down a long-awaited reply and handed it to the eunuch.

Jin Chunzhong had already said it almost, "That's how it happened. The Weishi suspected that the Holy Military Advisor was lying and deliberately set up a suspicion array with the purpose of dividing Your Majesty and Mr. Yang."

Han Ruzi watched the eunuch leave with the memorial and said, "Those who look up at the breath never lie."

Jin Chunzhong was stunned and did not understand the emperor's meaning. As far as he knew, all the methods of those who look at the qi were related to lies.

"Pure lying is not called "going with the flow". Those who look at the air always change the truth."

Jin Chunzhong still didn't understand. The only one who had truly come into contact with was the Holy Military Advisor, who had heard more and less knowledge of their methods.

"For example, the 'child army' that went to the Broken Iron City will have completely opposite statements under the mouth of the qi-seeker. He can say to the dissatisfied minister, 'The emperor is afraid of aristocratic families and intends to eliminate the roots. The children army will have a lot of danger in this trip."

Jin Chunzhong understood a little, "At most one month, the 'Children's Army' can return to Beijing safely. How can those who look up at the time explain?"

Han Ruzi narrowed his eyes slightly and imagined that he was the one who looked at the qi. "People who were first bewitched by the qi will usually neither believe it all nor do they believe it at all, but are worried about gains and losses. The qi will go further and propose several preventive measures. As long as the other party accepts it, the qi will be invincible: the 'Child Army' returns safely, which is the credit of his prevention plan; if the 'Child Army' occurs, it proves that his initial statement is correct, and the other party does not accept it all, which leads to the current bad consequences."

Jin Chunzhong was stunned and finally got to know her, "The same is true for Mr. Yang. When Mr. Yang is outside, he will inevitably have something that is not in line with His Majesty's wishes. His Majesty only needs to have a thought, and he will feel more and more that what those who look at him say is very true."

Han Ruzi nodded, "It's not just that, there are many ways for those who look at the air. This is just one move. It's also the 'child army', those who look at the air can also say to the flustered minister, 'This is an opportunity. Others plead for mercy, for fear of their children suffering, but your family faces difficulties, indicating that the child will be able to make a name for himself in front of His Holiness."

Jin Chunzhong shook his head, not because he disagreed, but because he admired both those who look down on his head and the emperor.

Han Ruzi smiled, and he really hoped that someone could say something similar to the minister.

Jin Chunzhong felt relieved, "I have nothing to worry about in this way. The purpose of the Holy Military Advisor is to arouse suspicion. Your Majesty can hold on, and I have no problem."

Jin Chun advised him to leave and didn't think about this anymore.

In Lingyun Pavilion, Han Ruzi sighed. Jin Chunzhong was indeed loyal and good at doing things, but he was not smart enough and still couldn't understand the full meaning of "going with the flow".

No matter how those who look for energy follow the trend, take advantage of the trend, and measure the trend, the "momentum" is always real.

Han Ruzi knew all those who looked at the Qi so well, thanks to Yang Feng. Where did Yang Feng learn it? Yang Feng claimed that he had been pursuing the mysterious organization for many years, but it was not until the rebellion of the Qi King a few years ago that he paid attention to the figure of the Qi He looked at the Qi He, just like others. Before that, he paid more attention to local heroes.

Yang Feng is the most mysterious person.

Han Ruzi was impulsive and wanted to summon the Holy Military Advisor, so he changed his mind immediately. It was a mistake to meet Luan Banxiong, and it was useless to meet the Holy Military Advisor.

No matter what, he still believed in Yang Feng, and that was enough.

Han Ruzi eliminated distracting thoughts, and in the next few days, he had extremely important things to deal with.

On his table was the fifth book of begging for bones that the prime minister made his wishes.

"Begging for bones" is a euphemism for requesting retirement. He hopes to get his body back from the emperor, return home and wait for death, and finally bury it under his hometown.

I have expressed my will and wrote a memorial almost a day, and I am very eager to hand over the seal.

If he proved that he was not having an affair with Han Chou, Han Ruzi would probably sincerely try to keep him. After all, the candidate for prime minister he wanted was still very short and it would take some time to overestimate him.

There are three people who can succeed to the prime minister. Feng Ju is the most qualified, but the emperor does not appreciate it. Qu Zixi and Zhuo Ruhe are talented enough, but each has its own flaws.

I often make mistakes when I express my will to treat myself, but I look at others very accurately.

Qu Zixi has many disciples and is highly prestigious among scholars. If he is the prime minister, his voice will definitely be high. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The prime minister is not a teacher. How to deal with his relationship with his disciples will be a great test for Qu Zixi.

Zhuo Ruhe was a Jinshi, served as an official for many years, assisted the prince, served in the six ministries, and worked as a county magistrate for several years. What is rare is that he understands the sufferings of the people, is familiar with various means in the officialdom, governs officials, and manages the people. Unfortunately, he lacks the style of a general and will be at a loss in the face of sudden changes.

Han Ruzi took three pieces of paper and wrote down the names of the three people. He looked at them for a long time and thought about them repeatedly in his heart.

What the prime minister wants is stability, why not be as a general? Deng Cui is good at adapting to circumstances, but no emperor will let him be the prime minister.

Han Ruzi finally made a decision that Zhuo Ruhe would be the next prime minister, and Qu Zixi was in his prime and could wait.

Then his eyes fell on the word "Feng Ju", which was the challenge he was about to face. The new Zuo Cha Censor must retreat in a difficult situation in order to stabilize the ministers.

"I am a lonely man." Thinking of this sentence again, Han Ruzi's heart was filled with fighting spirit, not loneliness and aging.

There was still a blank piece of paper on the table. Han Ruzi looked at it for a while and could not get rid of a thought. So she picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Yang Feng. (To be continued.)
