Chapter 45: Mother's Words

(I just discovered that I recommended it to Shangsanjiang this week. I hope everyone can vote. Sanjiang is on the top of the page. Thank you.)

Luo Huanzhang slowly walked into the room, walking majestic steps, wearing a cloth clothes, but with the aura of a general holding a sword and carrying a bow. When he saluted the emperor, he never bowed to the ground, but instead stepped forward and behind, bowed slightly, and bowed in front of his eyes with both hands. It was both simple and solemn, and had a hint of ancient meaning.

There were many eunuchs coming today, and eight people stood in two rows at the door, not polite or whispering, and they seemed quite arrogant. King Donghai was surprised and swept around with vigilance.

Jing Yao, the chief supervisor of the Central Secretariat, walked in, walked to the King of Donghai, and whispered: "Your Highness, come with me."

"Where do you go?" Donghai King clenched his fists and pressed them on the desk.

"Please follow me." Jing Yao emphasized.

King Donghai stood up reluctantly, glanced at the emperor, curled his lips, and followed Jing Yao.

Han Ruzi knelt down and looked directly at Luo Huanzhang. It was obvious that the spare imperial edict had been handed over.

"Today, Caomin tells His Majesty a story about Emperor He." Luo Huanzhang said.

Emperor He was the son of Emperor Lie, the father of Emperor Wu, and an emperor who inherited the past and the future. During his reign, the world was in trouble, the treasury was full, and the people were happy. Although there were minor troubles on the border, Emperor He just ordered the local government to stick to it and never took the initiative to challenge it.

Hedi was a wise monarch, but he had a regret throughout his life.

Emperor He was not the crown prince designated by Emperor Lie during his lifetime, but the successor selected by the ministers from all sides after Emperor Lie's death. When he ascended the throne, he upheld humility and rarely had any disputes with the ministers. He also kept the will of Emperor Lie and deliberately suppressed the power of the relatives. No matter how the empress dowager begged, no one in the uncle's family was granted a marquis and was only rewarded with a large amount of money.

In the seventh year of Emperor He's reign, the Empress Dowager passed away. During his lifetime, he sighed: "Every relatives are noble because of their concubines. The Hua family is in a humble position because of me. After I die, I will mask my face with cloth and have no face to see my parents underground."

Emperor He was so heartbroken that he appointed three Hua clans as marquis and five as marquis in front of the bed.

Empress Dowager Hua passed away with a smile, but Emperor He always felt regretful and treated his uncle's family throughout his life. After Emperor Wu, Emperor Huan, Emperor Si, and to this day, the Hua family still has a branch of Junyang Hou.

"A filial son cherishes time. Don't wait until his parents leave forever before regretting it. Your Majesty thinks about it again and again." Luo Huanzhang bowed, and the morning class came to an end.

Han Ruzi heard it more seriously than usual and asked: "Those who have meritoriousness will be rewarded, those who have the ability will be promoted, and those who have the virtue will be praised. If not these three, how can we be an official to help the emperor govern the country? Emperor He appointed his uncle in front of the bed, and made the queen mother smile and set up the great Chu country. Where did the ancestors of the Han family belong to him?"

The faces of the two rows of eunuchs at the door changed slightly.

Luo Huanzhang's eyes drooped slightly, and immediately raised his eyes again, saying seriously: "Filial piety comes from the heart. Only those who are filial can discuss the great righteousness. The filial piety of the emperor reaches the world..."

Han Ruzi knew what Luo Huanzhang was going to say, and interrupted him bluntly: "In this way, I am the most unfilial person in the world as the emperor and abandoning my biological mother."

The eunuchs' faces changed drastically. Luo Huanzhang was the emperor's teacher. He could not kneel down according to etiquette. At this time, he knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and stood up and said, "Filial piety is the heart and keeping the etiquette. In etiquette, the Empress Dowager is Your Majesty's mother."

Han Ruzi grabbed a book on the case and threw it at Luo Huanzhang, and shouted: "Luo Huanzhang, what are you looking at your disciples and relatives again?"

The eunuchs stopped watching, and four people rushed up in the front row and held the emperor down.

Luo Huanzhang remained motionless, letting the book hit his chest, and said coldly: "There are countless disciples of Luo, but there is no one who is as unworthy as Your Majesty. Marquis Piyuan has admitted his crime. Your Majesty reflects that this move is worthy of the Empress Dowager and the people of the world?"

Han Ruzi shouted in the hands of the eunuchs, and performed a good show, and no one asked him to do this. He just felt that this was more real, and he needed a vent.

It turned out that the minister who was sacrificed was Marquis of Piyuan. He had not been back from the battlefield in Kanto for long. He was recuperating at home and had few friends in his daily life. Perhaps fewer people were implicated because of him.

The emperor did not go to Qinzheng Hall and was sent back to Tai'an Palace. At least four eunuchs were guarding the room at all times. Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e could only come in occasionally and had to withdraw immediately after finishing their work.

Han Ruzi stopped tossing and lay on the bed, curious about what other measures the Empress Dowager would take next.

The lunch was cancelled, which was considered a small punishment for the emperor.

In the evening, Tong Qing'e brought in a plate of food. The eunuchs checked and allowed her to deliver it to the emperor. Han Ruzi finished her meal quickly and said to Tong Qing'e angrily: "Bitch, is it your big deal to ruin me?"

Tong Qing'e retreated in panic, but looked up and glanced quickly to show that she understood the emperor's intention. Under the current circumstances, the emperor would be safer to whoever he was vicious.

Han Ruzi had a full meal and shouted at the eunuchs of the guards: "Do you dare to report your names? I remember your appearance, in the future... in the future..."

He was recalling the tone and words of Tokai Neptune, and then someone came in outside the door.

Zuo Ji's face was still bruised and he couldn't show his likable smile. He didn't want to laugh when facing the emperor.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Han Ruzi felt a little worried. If you want to say who hates the emperor the most in the palace, this person is the one who belongs to him.

"Your Majesty is very brave."

"Not as good as Zuo Gong."

"Aren't Your Majesty afraid of the laws of the ancestors?"

"Aren't Zuo Gong afraid of Liang's dreams on An night?"

Zuo Ji snorted, "Your Majesty, please save yourself eloquently, I will take Your Majesty to see someone."

Han Ruzi's heart moved, "Who?"

Zuo Ji did not answer, turned around and led the way. Several eunuchs came and protected both sides of the emperor like escorting prisoners.

Han Ruzi followed. Outside the house, more than ten people including Zhang Youcai and others knelt on the ground, all of whom were silent.

There was also a team of eunuchs and guards outside the Tai'an Palace, who surrounded the emperor in the middle, making him look more like a prisoner.

A group of people walked around the bush, passing one gate after another, getting farther and farther away from Tai'an Palace, but did not go to Cishun Palace where the Empress Dowager lived.

Han Ruzi's heart was pounding, and she vaguely guessed who she was going to meet.

At the end of a deep alley, the emperor was sent into a small room. The decorations inside were simple and the candlelight was dim and simpler than ordinary families. A woman was sitting in the candlelight and staring in a daze.

Han Ruzi didn't care much, so she rushed to the woman and knelt down, hugging her legs and sobbing.

"Don't cry with your majesty." This is the mother's voice, but it's a bit cold.

Zuo Ji stood at the door and watched the mother and son meet coldly.

"Mother." Han Ruzi raised her head, and unexpectedly, she would meet again in such a place after parting that day.

"Your Majesty has grown up a little more." The voice of Madam Wang was still a little cold, but she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her son's face. She shrank back when she touched her and smiled, "Your Majesty is an adult, why do you still cry like a child?"

Han Ruzi wiped away her tears, "The child has made her mother suffer."

"Your Majesty must not say such words. Your Majesty's supreme body should be thought of the world. The Empress Dowager is kind..."

Han Ruzi took his hand back from his mother's knee, "The Queen Mother... Have you seen the Queen Mother?"

Meiren Wang nodded, "I've seen it, it was the Queen Mother who brought me into the palace."

"Let you live in such a place?" Han Ruzi looked around. The decorations in the house were too simple, and there was not even a bed.

Beauty Wang smiled, "I moved here just today. Your Majesty... If Your Majesty really cares about my life, you should be a good emperor."

"What is a good emperor?" Han Ruzi felt more and more strange about his mother's words.

"A good emperor will listen to the Queen Mother and will not do anything behind the Queen Mother's back."

"Then what? Wait for the Empress Dowager to bring us mother and son..." Han Ruzi couldn't continue.

Wang Meiren shook her head, "The Empress Dowager is not the kind of person His Majesty imagined. She is very kind and she does everything for His Majesty. After a few years, His Majesty will take power. Then the Empress Dowager will retreat to the inner palace, and I can...I will see His Majesty often."

Han Ruzi didn't believe the Queen Mother's promise at all, but in front of Zuo Ji, he couldn't refute, "Mother, what should I do?"

"Don't call me mother again, the Queen Mother is Your Majesty's mother." Wang Meiren's voice was trembling, she paused for a while, and then returned to normal when she spoke. "From now on, Your Majesty will listen to the Queen Mother's words, and Great Chu needs a successor. Your Majesty... Although Your Majesty is young, you should try your best to do it."

Zuo Ji, who was standing at the door, said coldly, "My beauty in Wang asked His Majesty to go back and do a good job of husband and wife early to give birth to the prince for Da Chu."

Han Ruzi turned her head and looked at Zuo Ji angrily, and said to her mother: "Baby... do your best."

"It's not that you can do your best, you must do it. Only in this way can your Majesty and I have a day to reunite."

Zuo Ji urged: "The words have been made clear. Your Majesty, please get on."

Han Ruzi was still kneeling on the ground, and two eunuchs came in from outside and supported the emperor's arms.

"Mother, I will definitely pick you up."

Beauty Wang smiled and watched her son be taken away, and said loudly: "Remember Wei Niang's words, you must remember them."

Han Ruzi nodded solemnly, pushed the eunuch away, and walked out by himself.

There is no difference between late night in the palace and outside, but there are more people carrying lanterns. There is an unknown fragrance of flowers floating in the alley, as if there is nothing. Han Ruzi sucked in a deep air and secretly swore that even if he dies, he would give a try with the Queen Mother and become the real master here.

Only he can understand the implicit meaning of Wang Meiren. "Wei Niang's words" do not refer to everything he said today, but the words his mother told him when Han Ruzi was taken away by Yang Feng: Don't believe anyone in the palace, and don't offend anyone.

At this moment, the previous sentence is more important than the next sentence. My mother entered the palace, so she could not believe her words. The Empress Dowager would not let them go, and he had to resist, and he had to do so as soon as possible.

Zuo Ji followed the emperor and whispered: "Are Your Majesty satisfied?"

Han Ruzi bit her lip and walked out for a while, turned her head and said to Zuo Ji, "Take me to Qiuxin Palace to meet the queen."

An ugly smile appeared on Zuo Ji's face, which had not healed.
