Chapter 56: The Wrath of Reading History
As the sky passed by, the palace change that was smooth at the beginning also took a sharp turn for the worse, and the prospects became increasingly unpredictable. Bu Hengru held the knife and shouted to the six swordsmen: "Get ready, I say I'll do it, you'll kill me!"
The six swordsmen looked at each other, and one of them asked, "The Immortal Master really has such a secret order?"
Before Bu Hengru could speak, Luo Huanzhang shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. Chunyu Xiao is a sage of the world. How could this be the worst? Once the empress dowager and the emperor die, the ministers outside will immediately welcome the princes and kings to Beijing to succeed the throne. Where will the chaos in the world come from?"
Bu Hengru put his knife into the sheath, and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve in a hurry. After opening it, he showed Luo Huanzhang, "You should recognize Mr. Chunyu's handwriting and fingerprints, and see what is written on it."
Luo Huanzhang took the paper, looked at it for a while, frowned, "This is not his handwriting, it's too clumsy to imitate." As he spoke, he kept tearing his hands, and finally threw it away casually, and pieces of paper fell to the ground one after another.
Bu Hengru didn't expect this scene at all. He watched the "secret order" turn into waste paper. He couldn't help but be furious, pulled out his short knife, and said angrily: "Luo Huanzhang, what do you mean?"
"I'm saving this plan and saving your lives."
The six swordsmen nodded frequently, obviously supporting Luo Huanzhang more. Bu Hengru's face was blue and red, and finally said hatefully: "Look at how you explain to Master Chunyu in the future."
"If there is any future, you will have made extraordinary achievements. There is no need to explain it. If there is no future, what else can you explain?" Luo Huanzhang took two steps back and took a look at the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, "I only need one of you, who would like to make Chunyu Xiao the national teacher?"
The Queen Mother and the Emperor did not say anything, and the King of Donghai on the other end said, "I am willing, just the national teacher. You have already said that I have agreed long ago."
Luo Huanzhang raised an index finger at the King of East China Sea and signaled him not to speak, his eyes still sweeping around the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
The Queen Mother spoke first, and the answer was very simple: "I won't be a puppet."
Luo Huanzhang's eyes stopped on the emperor.
Han Ruzi was a little moved. He had always been a puppet. He would not lose any losses in the present situation. He could save the lives of many people, especially the lives of himself and his mother. When he looked at his mother, beautiful Wang shook his head very slightly.
"Even benevolence and righteousness are small tricks. What is the so-called 'Big Way' in Chunyu Xiao?" Han Ruzi did not immediately refuse.
Bu Hengru was still very anxious, "Don't talk nonsense to him..."
Luo Huanzhang stretched out his other hand and signaled Bu Hengru not to speak, and stared at the emperor more seriously, "Benevolence and righteousness are the great way, but when it comes to the hands of the emperor, it has become a small trick, used to deceive the world and control the subjects. The great way is to return to simplicity and truth, and return to the initial state of benevolence and righteousness. Everyone talks about benevolence and righteousness, but benevolence and righteousness are not exclusive to anyone."
After all, Han Ruzi was still young and didn't understand it very much. He asked in confusion: "Is there an emperor?"
"The emperor is the thief in the world." Luo Huanzhang was sensational as soon as he said, but he didn't care at all and continued to talk, "The emperor lives above all sentient beings, but has no moral character above all sentient beings. At the beginning, he was governing the country, and gradually became a family. Look at the vast history books. It was either a fight for power or a family matter, such as concubines, princes, eunuchs, relatives, flatterers, favored ministers... They turned the court into their own houses, and the emperor enjoyed himself in it, and had long forgotten that there were still people in the world."
Han Ruzi was fine, but the more he heard it, the more shocked he became, and murmured, "You didn't teach me this way before."
"Once upon a time? In the past, Taizu was a founding wise king, but indulged in his later years, he almost deposed the prince. In the past, Emperor Cheng was a good emperor who was benevolent and righteous, but indulged in his uncle's family, and the disaster of his relatives in the dynasty began; in the past, the harsh emperor cut off the princes and expelled the relatives in the foreign country, but in the later period, he was suspicious of killing and even letting go of his own sons; in the past, he had the qualities of revival, but because of the empress dowager's plea before his death, he supported his relatives again. In the past..."
Luo Huanzhang's chest was undulating, and his depression that had been depressed for many years finally made people feel relieved. His eyes first stared at the King of Donghai, slowly turned to the Queen Mother, and finally looked at the emperor, "The more the emperor became the later emperor, the more he was addicted to housework, but Emperor Wu had ruined the family's family. If no one interfered, the Han family might be able to toss for another seventy or eighty years, but the people in the world were unlucky. Do you think you are a puppet emperor because you are very unfair? No, in the history books of the previous dynasty, one emperor like you will appear every few generations, and sometimes it will appear continuously. This is the inevitable result of the incompetence of family affairs and a symbol of the decline of the dynasty."
No one refuted, Luo Huanzhang's eyes became more and more severe, as if the people in the room were all disciples who came to ask for advice on their own initiative, and he was not satisfied with any of these disciples. "It is better to cut the mess quickly than wait for the Great Chu to rot slowly."
The Empress Dowager suddenly laughed, "This is Master Luo, but the statement has changed. Well, the Great Chu has declined and rotten, it is all the fault of us women and relatives, but why do you believe that Chunyu Xiao can avoid all this?"
"Because he has no home, there will be no housework. From him, every emperor of the new dynasty will not get married."
"Will the emperors in the future be eunuchs?" The empress dowager didn't believe this statement.
"It's not a eunuch, but the emperor has to cast his power before he ascended the throne. Chunyu Xiao has already done this."
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a while, laughed again, shook her head, and was even reluctant to refute.
Luo Huanzhang said to Han Ruzi with a gentle tone: "You are not only the last emperor of the Great Chu, but also the last secular emperor. After you, the emperor must abandon worldly desires and take the initiative to abandon them, showing that his character is higher than that of everyone, so that he is qualified to govern the country and the people."
King Donghai sneered on the other side, "Oh my God, I actually admit that you have been a master. You are just a madman and you are talking crazy. If you let the eunuch be the emperor, the ministers can't agree."
"This is just a matter of habit. After two or three generations, everyone will think that the emperor who does not castrate is the bad emperor." Luo Huanzhang was still staring at Han Ruzi, his eyes flashing with the fierce light of trying to convince the other party. "You are very smart, smarter than I expected, and have a little kindness and righteousness. If you are willing to castrate on your own, you will have a chance to become a real emperor again after Chunyu Xiao's death."
King Donghai reminded: "Your Majesty, you understand the meaning of castration. It means that you can only deal with it like a eunuch in the future, and you can't marry and have children."
Han Ruzi didn't care about this. He took a deep breath and felt that he had recovered some strength. So he slowly stood up and said, "'A person can be selfish, but he can't be so selfish that he thinks others are not.' I was wondering, what is the selfishness of Mr. Luo and Chunyu Xiao?"
Luo Huanzhang was stunned. This emperor always surprised him and annoyed him. "Who is your Majesty affected by? Or is it born like this? He doesn't believe that there will be selfless people in this world."
A head was revealed at the door, and everyone was attracted by Luo Huanzhang. They didn't notice it for a moment. Bu Hengru was the first to find out, was startled, and swung his knife in a hurry and shouted: "Beware!"
Everyone turned around, especially the six swordsmen, who were eager to try the short sword in their hands, but instead shocked the people at the door again.
"Don't do anything randomly, I'm here to report it." Zhang Youcai shouted hurriedly. Seeing that the swordsman did not take action, he slowly knelt down and kowtowed to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor separately, and then said, "Zuo Ji is back and shouts outside the door to see the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager said coldly and did not think that these words were for her to listen to.
Han Ruzi asked: "He's the only one?"
"I looked through the crack in the door, he was the only one."
"Then... let him in."
"Abide by the order." The little eunuch stood up and left, looked at the emperor, and Han Ruzi was slightly stunned, vaguely feeling that Zhang Youcai seemed to be hinting at something.
The others did not notice the little eunuch's eyes, and waited for Zuo Ji to come in. He went to Qinzheng Hall with the Imperial Concubine, and should be able to get the latest news.
Zuo Ji ran over in a panic, stopped outside the threshold, looked into the room, and confirmed that Luo Huanzhang and others were in control of the situation, he stepped into the room and habitually knelt down to the Queen Mother, "Good Queen Mother, okay."
"Yes, you still have some courage, which makes me look at you with admiration." The Queen Mother has always been very calm, but at this time she showed obvious resentment in her tone.
"Empress Dowager, you can't blame me for this. You are different now than before. You are too cruel to do so. My face can't stand the beating. And you have devoted all your energy to the minister. How long will we..."
The empress dowager's face turned cold, Zuo Ji shut up, Luo Huanzhang snorted coldly, this was the emperor's "household affairs" he hated the most, and shouted: "Zuo Ji, how is the Qinzheng Palace going?"
Zuo Ji looked at Luo Huanzhang up and down, "Tell me first what happened to the eunuchs and palace maids outside? I promised that you should keep the inner side, and I and the Imperial Concubine should be the outer side. If one side fails, we will lose all of them."
"The emperor and the queen mother are here, what are you worried about?"
Zuo Ji got up, looked at the empress dowager and the emperor, and said, "The Imperial Concubine has entered the Qinzheng Hall."
The swordsmen all breathed a sigh of relief, Bu Hengru felt even more relieved, looking at the fragments of paper on the ground, secretly thanking Luo Huanzhang. Without him, he would have to ruin a big deal.
Luo Huanzhang was not relieved and asked, "Are the ministers willing to obey the order?"
Zuo Ji shook his head, "Marty Hua took the seal of General of the Central Army and led the soldiers to break through the obstruction of the minister."
"Where are the ministers, are they arrested?"
"Catch some of them, and some of them ran away."
Luo Huanzhang frowned, "Is anyone in Gushi's minister running away?"
"I almost caught it, only the old guy Yin Wuhui ran away. The scene was chaotic at that time. Who would have thought that he was ten years old and could run so fast!" Zuo Ji was quite dissatisfied. He came to report the good news, but he was questioned like he used to be a slave. "Yin Wuhui couldn't cause any storm."
"Not necessarily." Luo Huanzhang is no longer as confident as he was at the beginning. "Wait for news from the Southern Army. If everything goes well there, you don't have to worry about Yin Wuhe. Also, keep an eye on Guanghua Pavilion, the criminals there may cause trouble..."
Before he finished speaking, two windows were suddenly pushed open, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty bowed!"
Han Ruzi rushed to the window and several bamboo poles stretched in. The two bamboo poles were connected into one, two or three meters long, forming a barrier.
"Your Majesty is coming out quickly." Another voice shouted.
Han Ruzi looked back and saw Bu Hengru and others reacting from panic and were slashing around. The Empress Dowager and her mother were shocked and did not make any signs.
When he made a quick decision, Han Ruzi stood up, stretched out his hands out of the window, and was immediately caught.
