Zhuo Ruhe is the left-behind prime minister, and King Donghai is the envoy sent back by the emperor. The two should meet each other, but King Donghai did not make a request, and Zhuo Ruhe did not send an invitation. Both of them were willing to pretend to be confused.

King Donghai couldn't hold on anymore, and he didn't have much time left, so he had to convince Queen Mother Cining as soon as possible.

Zhuo Ruhe was surprised after receiving the reply. He showed obvious hesitation in front of the servant. In the end, he agreed to meet with King Donghai and made an appointment the next morning, Zhuo Ruhe would return to the Prime Minister's Mansion after the political discussion was concluded in the Qinzheng Hall.

This is not a formal meeting, and Zhuo Ruhe did not intend to invite King Donghai to the Qinzheng Hall.

This is not a private meeting. There are ministers, guards and others outside the Qinzheng Hall, and they can see them talking.

The emperor was not here and the political discussion was over soon. When Zhuo Ruhe and other ministers walked out, King Donghai was standing outside the door waiting, with a smile on his face and nodding to the ministers.

The ministers returned the gift and did not leave immediately. They stood outside the door and whispered. Only Zhuo Ruhe came over and bowed and said, "Did the Queen Mother give me news?"

King Donghai shook his head, "It seems that I will return empty-handed this time. I can't explain it to His Majesty when I go back."

"As long as it is the Queen Mother's decision, His Majesty will definitely understand it. Do you need any help from me?"

King Donghai looked at Zhuo Ruhe with a smile, "I want the Prime Minister to do me a big favor."

"It's easy to say anything else, but it's not okay to persuade the Empress Dowager. As a foreign minister, it's hard to participate in the affairs of the palace. And..." Zhuo Ruhe sighed, "I'm just a corpse now. As long as the words of Your Majesty, I will hand over the seal to the wise."

"Prime Minister must not say that. Your Majesty is relying on you now. Every time you see the Prime Minister's resignation memorial, you will sigh. It will be dull for several days, and even the life of us is not easy."

Zhuo Ruhe shook his head and said he didn't believe it, "Tell me, what's the matter? I'm busy today."

King Donghai turned sideways and signaled Zhuo Ruhe to take a few steps to the side. After a little further away from the minister, he said, "If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have looked for the prime minister."

"I said, what the Queen Mother is doing..."

"It is hard to be a foreign minister, what about the princess?"

Zhuo Ruhe was stunned, "Which princess?"

"Of course he is the princess in the prime minister's family and my aunt." King Donghai smiled.

Zhuo Ruhe's face turned cold, "The princess has nothing to do with this matter." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Master Prime Minister, please go home and ask." King Donghai raised his voice a little.

Zhuo Ruhe left with great strides and never looked back.

The ministers quickly dispersed. The King of Donghai stood in his original place, looked up at the Qinzheng Hall, turned his head and looked at the halberd guards not far away, sighed in his heart, and walked outside, without looking at the nearby Tongxuan Hall.

King Donghai didn't want to wait for the reply. After leaving Qinzheng Hall, he went to Zongzheng's mansion to pay homage to Han Xun.

Han Xun was an old minister of the royal family. He was ordered to take charge of the Zongzheng Mansion in the face of danger. His original intention was to go too far, but things happened one by one, which made him very embarrassed.

"What did Your Majesty think?" Han Zhi was much more polite than Zhuo Ruhe. He invited King Donghai to the main hall of Zongzheng's mansion. After serving tea, he shut down his servants and officials.

"No one can guess what Your Majesty is. Your Majesty is now more cautious."

Han Xun sighed again, "No wonder, the ministers have done a little too much and sent someone to figure out His Majesty's thoughts. I really don't know what they were thinking. What are the abilities of the two minor officials of Nanzhijin and Zhao Ruosu, who have the ability to upset the court? It's incredible that Your Majesty let them go."

"This is what I said. No one can guess what your Majesty is now."

Han Xu smiled twice, "Yes, is it something you are wrong to see me?"

"The Empress Dowager refused to go to Luoyang."

"I want to say that this is indeed unruly. The first month is the busiest time in the palace. Everyone has left. Who will sacrifice to heaven and ancestors? Who will judge the Lantern Festival? Who will pay tribute to the descendants of the royal family? A bunch of things cannot be solved. I am completely at a loss now. I really regret taking over the official residence of the sect."

Han Zhi was more cunning than Zhuo Ruhe, and he refused before he could speak.

King Donghai smiled and said, "The boat will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. The old man doesn't have to worry. The Queen Mother refuses to accept His Majesty's invitation. This is a big trouble."

"Yes, big trouble, Tokai Neptune, you have to be careful. If you take a wrong step, you will suffer."

The King of Donghai laughed several times, "I am not afraid of being in trouble, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager and His Majesty and His Majesty will be incompatible with the stability of the court."

"Then you have to find a way." Han Xu said seriously, showing concern, but the hint was also very obvious, and he would never interfere in this matter.

"The eldest grandson is engaged to one of Prime Minister Zhuo's nieces?"

Han Xun waved, signaling King Donghai to get closer, and whispered: "After all the time, everyone is a relative. The Prime Minister's wife is your aunt. She even called me "Uncle". You want to find help from here, you can't be wrong anymore."

Donghai King laughed dryly, "It's all relatives, but not many people are willing to kiss you. The old man said I was wrong, but what else can I do besides making mistakes? You can't go back empty-handed to see Your Majesty, right? Please understand, my identity is different from yours. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are walking on thin ice and are ashamed to death. If you take a wrong step, you can't resign. I can't do it, so I have to bite the bullet and walk down, and don't touch the south wall or turn back. If you touch the south wall, you will have to talk about it."

Han Xu looked at Donghai King coldly and suddenly smiled. It was a smile from the inside out, not perfunctory. "You go back to the house first, wait for my news. Maybe I can really help you. They are all descendants of the royal family. As an elder, you have to take care of the younger generation."

"Of course, I should respect my elders too." King Donghai said with a smile.

When he returned home, Donghai King scolded Zhuo Ruhe and Han Xu in front of Tan, "Do these two old fools think that leaving the Empress Dowager can defeat Your Majesty? I know your Majesty's methods best. Don't look at the fact that you are tolerant now, when you really take action, the minister will definitely be defeated."

Tan sat there and listened, and finally said, "Your Majesty really wants to replace the entire court?"

"It's not all, but if the ministers still refuse to give in, His Majesty will really take ruthless measures to remove half of it."

"Um."

"Don't think about it all, the army is under the control of His Majesty."

"Bah, what am I thinking about? I'm scaring you like this? I mean, many newcomers are about to rise, I wonder who will be the final winner?"

"Don't think about it. Your Majesty is most taboo now. No one knows who the Majesty appreciates the most. There is a Kang Zijiao who has been favored recently, but I think this is the trick that Your Majesty uses. The person you really want to use is probably sent to somewhere to be an inconspicuous little official, and maybe one day you will be able to reach the sky."

"Where is Chai Yue? He is now commanding the south and north armies, and the limelight is in full swing."

"Needless to say, he is one of the people His Majesty trusts the most, why are you asking this?"

"Of course it is to pave the way for the future. Can we just live humbly?"

Donghai King was startled, "I didn't just tell you, don't think about it..."

"Oh, you're just thinking about it. What we're talking about is not the same thing. Chai Yue has a brother of the same mother. Wouldn't it be nice if the Tan family can marry the Chai family?"

Donghai King breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, "It's too late to do something. How long has Chai Yue been in power? Someone has long been thinking about his younger brother. As far as I know, the Cui family and the Deng family are fighting, but others have no chance."

Tan thought for a while, "Then you have to work hard."

"What are you working on?"

"There must be a future prime minister among the new officials appointed by Your Majesty recently. If you can guess and let the Tan family marry him in advance, it will pave a bright road for the future."

Donghai King smiled and shook his head, "You haven't understood yet. First, I can't guess it. Second, whether it is the Tan family or a certain aristocratic family, marrying this person will immediately ruin the future of this person."

Tan thought for a while, "The emperor is so difficult to deal with."

"Shh." King Donghai walked to the door and took a look, "Of course it's hard to deal with. It's already a skill for me to persevere until now."

"So, if the Tan family wants to revive, they can only launch a talented person from their own family."

"What are you doing? Don't you think about me?" Donghai asked with a smile.

"Unless the sun comes out from the west, how could the emperor reuse you?"

Donghai King knew it was impossible, but he couldn't help but think, "Forget it, I'll go to bed first. If someone comes to find me and wake me up immediately, I don't believe Zhuo Ruhe and Han Xu can survive tonight."

Donghai King is right. Someone came to visit before dark, not Zhuo Ruhe or Han Zu, but Nan Zhijin.

Nan Zhijin was still the censor, but his former position was completely lost. Although the emperor could not trust him, the ministers also had many doubts about him. They only remembered him when they wanted to pass a message to the emperor.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Nan Zhijin looked even thinner, and she seemed to be left with only a pair of skin wrapped around the skeleton. She never forgot the etiquette and did not sit down. She stood and said, "Empress Dowager Cining and the Queen left the palace in three days to go to Luoyang. Empress Dowager Cishun may not go."

King Donghai felt relieved, but his face did not show, and he smiled and said, "I'll tell me if I'm sorry, Lord Nan."

"How will the King of East China Sea tell His Majesty to his Majesty when he returns to Luoyang?"

"Everything goes well. Your Majesty misses the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother misses His Majesty. The relationship between mother and son is there. Any act of sowing discord will not succeed. I will never be the one who talks nonsense."

Nan Zhijin nodded expressionlessly, "It is indeed not a time to talk nonsense. Da Chu needs stability, and the court also needs stability."

"Isn't that the reason? If everyone thinks like Master Nan, the world will be peaceful."

Nan Zhijin's eyes were cold, "Have you heard of Donghai Neptune yet?"

"What did you hear?" Donghai Neptune was a little confused.

"The news just came today that General Deng was defeated in the West and the Huns also participated in the war, but they were not Da Chu, but the gods and ghosts and great Shanyu. His Majesty's worries are correct. Da Chu is indeed facing a strong enemy, and this powerful enemy has conquered the Huns."

King Donghai was stunned, "This is so fast?"

"Your Majesty hopes to restore national strength in five to ten years, but I'm afraid there is no chance." (To be continued.)
