After confirming that being robbed halfway is really just an accident. After being in danger of his life, King Donghai got angry, but the person he hated the most was not Han Ruzi, but the empress dowager. "I have been locked up for so long. I have tried to please her every day and drove me out. I didn't even have an explanation. Two eunuchs threw me into the car, and I thought..."
King Donghai shivered. He thought his life was not long before, so he didn't dare to say anything along the way.
"Who did the Empress Dowager choose to be the emperor?" Han Ruzi only cared about this matter.
"Who else? We were both driven out, she must be the emperor by herself!"
"Impossible?" Han Ruzi felt that this statement was incredible. He said to Yang Feng who was walking over: "Is there an empress in history books?"
"It only happened in ancient legends." Yang Feng stopped in front of the car, looked at the King of Donghai inside, and frowned. He was not interested in who the Empress Dowager would make the emperor, but only felt that the second car was a trouble, "I have to send him back."
"Where to send it?" Donghai King refused to get out of the car and grabbed the window of the sedan chair tightly, "I won't go back to the palace, I mean I won't go back to the palace with you, I'm going to the Nanjun to find my uncle and ask him to send me back to the palace..."
Yang Feng put down the curtains without hesitation and said to Han Ruzi: "I have to send him back to Cui's house."
The minister went to Zongzheng's mansion to report the situation to his superiors, and only the magistrate stayed in the marquis' mansion, and was completely at a loss. He was so anxious that he walked over and grabbed Yang Feng's arm: "General Yang, you have to be responsible for this matter. I am just a minor official, with old people and young people, and I can't stand the trouble..."
Yang Feng patted the carriage, "The person in the carriage picked it up wrong. You can send him back to the mansion of the Grand Tutor Cui Hong."
The magistrate shook his head vigorously, "I won't send it to you. This has nothing to do with me."
"The chief of the government communicates with the marquis's office and the relevant yamen. What is the official lieutenant in charge?"
The lieutenant was speechless. In name, the lieutenant was responsible for the safety of the ferminister's mansion, but this was the thing he didn't want to get involved at the moment.
"There is not a family member of Jue Hou in the car, please let the lieutenant take care of it." Yang Feng pushed Han Ruzi to the backyard.
King Donghai lifted a corner of the curtain, but refused to come out, and shouted: "Han Ruzi, don't leave me here, send me back to Cui's house! You send it to him personally, don't want this guy."
Han Ruzi wanted to speak. Yang Feng pushed forward and couldn't stop. Not far away, he caught up with an eunuch behind him and said breathlessly: "There are many people coming to the Cui family."
Yang Feng stopped, "Come quickly, Juehou, you can block it for a while, don't let them pass this door, and don't talk much."
"Me?" Han Ruzi had no confidence in her heart, "I'm afraid I can't..."
"You have to experience everything." Yang Feng patted Jue Hou's shoulder, turned around and walked back to the carriage, called the driver, and ordered him to drive into the backyard and follow him, regardless of what the Donghai King inside was shouting.
Han Ruzi was in a hurry, which was different from facing the traitors in the palace. Among the people who broke into the palace, there were probably Cui Xiaojun's relatives, and the scene would be very awkward.
Yang Feng left with his hands, and Han Ruzi could only find a way by himself, and ordered Zhang Youcai to call all the eunuchs who came out of the palace and lined up to block the second door. At this time, the shouting outside the gate had already come, and the lieutenant was so anxious that he could not afford to offend the Jue Hou, nor the Cui family.
Han Ruzi called the lieutenant in front of him, "Do you want to welcome the Cui family?"
The lieutenant shook his head desperately.
"Then take your people aside, don't participate or make a noise."
The palace lieutenant was reissued and agreed, and ran to send orders to the soldiers sent by the various departments. Then he ran into a house to hide. The others stood in the corner of the front yard and squeezed into a pile, looking back and forth between the gate and the second gate. He was both nervous and curious, and wanted to see how the deposed emperor dealt with the Cui family.
The front yard is not big, with dozens of soldiers crowded, and there is not much left in the open space.
A large group of people came in from the gate in a fierce manner and saw the eunuchs and Juanhou who blocked the second gate at a glance.
Han Ruzi's heart sank, most of the visitors were female relatives, which was the most embarrassing scene he had expected.
An old woman with an angry face walked in front, with a large group of women following behind, and several male servants guarding the surrounding area.
There are at least twice as many people on this side than the eunuchs in Juanhou’s Mansion.
The intruders did not encounter any obstacles at the gate and became more imposing. As soon as they entered the yard, they shouted loudly. The soldiers watching the fun felt unsafe. Many people turned around and crawled into the house, only listening to the sound and not showing up.
The old woman stopped in front of Juanhou, about the same height as him, gained a lot, looked Juanhou up and down a few times, raised her arm, and everyone behind her shut up.
Han Ruzi was even more nervous than facing the empress dowager. She coughed twice and was about to speak when the other party made a move first.
"You can't raise a lot, you won't live long, you have no skin and no eyes. You are so bold. You dare to steal the daughter of the Cui family..."
Drooling overwhelmed her face, and when the cold wind on the winter night was blown, it was like a mixture of snowflakes and broken ice. Han Ruzi had nowhere to hide, so she could only lean back and slowly retreat.
Zhang Youcai was not convinced and ran out to support his master. He was defeated as soon as he opened his mouth. The old woman pointed at him and cursed: "What do you want to do if the little monkey jumped up and down? You didn't have any eyes on you? Who are you? You don't have the qualification to pour pee buckets for the Cui family..."
Zhang Youcai was just raising his hands to protect his face, and he had no chance to say anything. Han Ruzi's pressure was slightly reduced. He took a scarf from another eunuch and wiped his face. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward and said, "My mother-in-law..."
The old woman suddenly half-mouthed and stared at Juehou with an angry look.
Han Ruzi knew that he had recognized the wrong person. This was not Cui Xiaojun's mother, but he didn't look like the mother of Donghai. He knew very little about the female family of the Cui family and could not guess the identity of this person. He was speechless for a moment and could not continue the prepared words.
The old woman turned her head and said to a woman, "He is calling you, but she is not here to meet your good son-in-law."
The woman was forty or fifty years old, not short, but she kept bent down and looked half a head shorter than the old woman. At this time, she just said timidly. She did not dare to look at the old woman nor the old man.
It turns out that she is Cui Xiaojun's mother.
Han Ruzi suddenly remembered that Cui Xiaojun once told him that the two brothers fought and made their mother cry, and the old woman's tears probably turned into saliva, and she would never be cryed by anyone.
The embarrassment was not resolved at all. Han Ruzi guessed that the old woman must be the elder of the Cui family. It was likely that she was the mother of the Grand Tutor Cui Hong and Cui Xiaojun's grandmother, but he still didn't know what to call her, so he could only secretly blame Yang Feng in his heart. The cunning eunuch must have been hiding on purpose.
"The old lady is here, but her grandson-in-law has not been welcomed..."
Han Ruzi finally thought of a few words, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old woman, "Whose grandson-in-law are you? The daughter of the Cui family married either the emperor or the princes. You, an deposed emperor who was thrown out of the palace, are you embarrassed to marry the Cui family? I have heard that you went to various tribes like a beggar yesterday to ask for property. You don't even want to face, why are you pestering my granddaughter? Hand over Xiaojun quickly."
Han Ruzi got angry. Her face turned a little red. She bowed to salute her first, and then said, "The married daughter has to snatch it back. Is this the face of the Cui family?"
The old woman was not used to being contradicted, and she became more and more angry, her eyebrows were raised, and she was full of fighting spirit, "My granddaughter married the emperor, are you the emperor?"
"Xiaojun married Han Ruzi, and I am still Han Ruzi now."
"Ha, listen to your own name. After all, you are descendants of the Han family. Those who have been emperors are actually called "ruzi". Xiaojun cannot be ruined in your hands. Don't say that you only have the name of a husband and wife. Even if you have the reality of a husband and wife, the Cui family can still marry her better."
Han Ruzi became even more angry. He had the same bed with Cui Xiaojun but did not fulfill his family, which was a secret matter in the palace. The old woman didn't know how to find out, so she said it was so vulgar that it was hard to imagine that he was the mother of the most powerful minister of the dynasty.
When he was so angry, Han Ruzi calmed down and smiled, "Xiaojun used to be the queen, but now she is the wife of Juehou. The old lady wants to marry her better. Could she still want her to be the queen?"
The young man's smile made the old woman stunned, and he looked at him again. The old woman said, "Why, do you think the Cui family doesn't have the ability?"
It was already dark. Since the Empress Dowager sent the King of East China, she must have used what Yang Feng called a "strange move". No matter what the result is, it will be unfavorable to the Cui family. The old woman obviously knows nothing about it. Han Ruzi smiled again and said, "Is Concubine Cui here?"
Han Ruzi looked behind the old woman and there were many women following her, none of whom looked like the mother of Donghai.
Although Concubine Cui was also the concubine of Emperor Huan, she had never been granted the title after Emperor Huan's death, so she could not be called the Imperial Concubine.
The old woman took a step back, "My daughter didn't come..." Before she finished speaking, she took a step forward, and said with her eyebrows straight: "Stop coming around the bush. After tonight, you will be in danger of your life, so don't even think about implicating my granddaughter."
The old woman led someone to break through the door, shouting "Xiaojun" and more than a dozen eunuchs blocked the door, not giving in.
Han Ruzi was unwilling to fight with women, so she retreated aside under Zhang Youcai's protection. Zhang Youcai was jealous and said, "I'll help." After that, he rushed into the battle group.
A woman was squeezed out and staggered. Han Ruzi stepped forward and held her in a low voice, "My mother-in-law."
Cui Xiaojun's mother smiled embarrassedly, immediately pushed her son-in-law away and hid behind the crowd.
A group of women and eunuchs were fighting each other. A young man hurried in from outside the gate, looked around in the crowd, shouting: "Laojun!Laojun!"
It turns out that "Laojun" is the correct name for Mrs. Cui. Han Ruzi thought to himself that Xiaojun must be very favored by the old woman, so she would have such a word.
The man shouted a few times, and the chaos finally stopped. The old woman was in high spirits, spitting stars and scolding the eunuchs. After a while, she turned around, unable to tell the enemy of me for a while, and she also had a bad voice to her family, "Sheng'er, you're here just right. You'll drive away these dog eunuchs who are blocking the way. By the way, news came from the palace?"
The man's name is Cui Sheng, a son of the Grand Tutor Cui Hong. He came for this matter and went forward and said, "The big thing is not good. I heard that King Donghai was also sent out of the palace and came out with his sister."
King Donghai got on the car in the palace, and the escort didn't know who was in the car. The Cui family had no idea about it in advance. The old woman was stunned, "King King Donghai was about to become the emperor, how could he be sent out?"
Cui Sheng was furious, "The old empress dowager... she made others the emperor, and all the officials were rushing to the palace, and the city gates were closed, and no one was allowed to enter and exit. I couldn't go out and notify my father."
The old woman didn't believe it and shook her head repeatedly, "It's impossible. Emperor Huan only has two sons, one here, the deposed emperor, and the other is the King of Donghai. Who else can the Empress Dowager make the emperor?"
Cui Sheng was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "I haven't found the exact news yet, but I heard that several important officials supported the new emperor very much, and thought he was the only one."
Han Ruzi was as confused as everyone else, and suddenly found that Yang Feng had come out of it at some point, standing among a group of eunuchs, his face as deep as water.
