Chapter 77 Grandmother and Grandson

(Thanks to readers for "kicking the stone with one kick" and "heathers"'s red reward.)

The Cui family's wife army dared to break into the deposed emperor's mansion. The confidence came from the King of Donghai, who was raised by the Cui family. He was almost certain that he was about to become the new emperor. Suddenly, bad news came that the successor had someone else, and his confidence was instantly exhausted.

Laojun of the Cui family has been living a pampered life and has never suffered such a big blow. He stared at his grandson Cui Sheng for a long time, "You say it again."

"I heard that the Queen Mother has chosen a new emperor and is very popular with ministers."

Laojun got angry when he said he was angry. He swung his palm and slapped Cui Sheng with a hard palm. "A nonsense is disturbing the morale of the army. Just heard that, have you confirmed it? Who else do the Queen Mother wants to establish if she doesn't establish Emperor Huan's son?"

Cui Sheng covered his face, "Okay, I'll go and inquire again, but rumors say that Donghai King has been sent out of the palace..."

Laojun suddenly turned around and glared at Juehou, "You kidnapped my granddaughter halfway..."

"Your granddaughter is Mrs. Juanhou, and this is also her home." Han Ruzi glanced at Yang Feng and added: "That's right, Donghai King is in the mansion."

As soon as this statement came out, the Cui family was in a big uproar. Since King Donghai was not in the palace, the new emperor must not be him.

Laojun stood blankly for a while, suddenly leaned back, Cui Sheng and a group of women supported him in time. Cui Sheng had just been beaten, but was very filial to his grandmother. He shouted to Han Ruzi: "If something happens to Laojun, the Cui family will never end with you!"

Han Ruzi didn't understand what it had to do with him, but the old woman was also Xiaojun's grandmother. He couldn't stand it and refused to help him, so he said, "Help it to the back."

Han Ruzi led the way, and the eunuchs moved aside. The women helped Laojun to the main hall in the second yard. Cui Sheng wanted to follow him, but was pulled by his mother. Suddenly he remembered that there were more important things, so he turned around and ran outside the mansion. He had to find out the situation as soon as possible.

The front yard was quiet, and the officers and soldiers looked at each other. They were impressed by the Cui family's wife's army from then on. The lieutenant came out of the room and secretly glad that he had escaped the disaster, but soon became even more worried: there was a new emperor in the Great Chu, and the future of the lord was uncertain, so you must not be implicated.

In the main hall, the women took care of Laojun with all their hands. None of the male servants who followed him dared to come in and were all patrolling outside the door.

Han Ruzi took advantage of the chaos to pull Yang Feng aside. He pointed at Laojun and whispered: "I know I have to learn a lot, but I have to learn this?"

"The old woman is as fierce as a three-army army. The old man lives in the inner house for a long time and finally comes out. He should see everything."

Han Ruzi was speechless, but always felt something was wrong. Yang Feng smiled and said, "When Juehou studied the history of the country, have he heard of the records of Emperor He and the Empress Dowager?"

"Emperor He appointed a few uncles as marquis in front of the empress dowager's sickbed? I've heard of it."

Yang Feng nodded and said nothing.

Han Ruzi understood what he meant, but felt that his mother was gentle and smart. She would never make a fuss like Laojun of the Cui family, let alone he had no uncle.

Laojun woke up slowly, forgot where he was and his granddaughter, and said in a trembling voice: "Where is my good grandson? Has he become the emperor?"

No one dared to answer, Laojun's eyes swept over. Finally, he fell on Han Ruzi in the distance and said viciously: "It's you again. Since you were born, you have been destroying the fortune of King Donghai, until now. Why? Why are you not dead yet?"

Han Ruzi was furious, but when he thought of Yang Feng's words, he took this experience as a test, took a few steps forward, and said with a smile: "If God wants to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his will... In short, let him suffer first. The fortune of the East Sea King is not good because he has not suffered enough."

Laojun stood up and was about to stand up. He just left the chair and sat down again. He covered his heart and said, "This kid is going to get angry. Beat him, beat him hard."

The women ummed a few times, and no one moved. Only one woman whispered: "Laojun, this is not Cui's mansion..."

Laojun had nowhere to vent his fire, so he raised his hand and slapped the woman, "I'm not confused yet, tell me with you!"

The woman covered her face and stepped back embarrassedly. Laojun stared at Han Ruzi again, and his tone became softer, "So my grandson is also in your mansion. Tell me, how do you release him?"

"Let it go? I want to know how Donghai King is willing to come out."

Laojun raised his eyebrows again, and at this time, someone ran in outside the door, threw himself under Laojun's knees, hugged her legs, cried and made a fuss. Laojun was also heartbroken and kept shouting.

The carriage of Donghai was parked outside. He was frightened. He heard that people from the Cui family dared not come out until they were sure that there was no danger. They ran out to see their grandmother.

Han Ruzi had to admit that in just a moment, his knowledge really increased a lot. He also acted coquettishly in front of his mother, but he was very restrained and had never cried like King Donghai. However, he felt that King Donghai's temper was really matched with Laojun, and he didn't understand why King Donghai had never mentioned this grandmother before.

What surprised him even more was that those women were still silent just now, but now they were wiping their tears. They cried alone with them, even Cui Xiaojun's mother was no exception.

There are courts everywhere, and the scene in front of you is very similar to the imperial palace and the Qinzheng Hall.

Han Ruzi nodded slightly to Yang Feng, indicating that he had really learned something.

Yang Feng seemed not to notice Juehou's actions, and he was still pondering. Han Ruzi asked in a low voice: "Do you guess who the new emperor is?"

"I have some guesses, but I don't know how the Queen Mother did it."

Han Ruzi was about to ask again, but the King of Donghai there finally stopped crying, got up and wiped away his tears, turned around and said, "Han Ruzi, we have all been deceived by the Queen Mother. She abandoned Emperor Huan's two sons and established a new king. You and I have to work together to deal with her."

Laojun had not wiped his tears yet, and he grabbed his grandson's wrist with one hand, with a nearly admiring smile on his face. He looked up and looked up, obviously very proud of his grandson.

Han Ruzi shook her head, "Thank you, no matter who becomes the emperor, I will be a lord here honestly. Being an emperor was not my wish, and now I don't have this idea. I haven't settled here yet and can't entertain guests. Please go slowly."

The grandson was condescending to the nobles, but the other party bowed without taking his head. Laojun couldn't help but be furious. Just as he was about to speak, King Donghai sneered: "You are really hopeless. You don't even need to send the opportunity to your door. Okay, you'll be here to be a turtle. Laojun, let's go."

Han Ruzi turned sideways and made a gesture of seeing off guests, refusing to give in, "I wish you a smooth stretch of your head and the better you stretch."

If it were in the past, Neptune would have had an attack on the spot, but today I was tired and scared, and I was really in the mood to quarrel, and there were more urgent crises to deal with. I just snorted coldly and took my grandmother's hand and walked out.

Laojun listened to this grandson very much, and when he arrived at the door, he remembered that he had a granddaughter, "Xiaojun is here..."

Donghai King snorted again angrily, "My cousin betrayed the Cui family. She came here voluntarily. Why are you still thinking about her? Anyway, there are several daughters in the Cui family, so I'll just pretend that she doesn't have her."

"I raised Xiaojun, she won't..."

"What can't be done with it? Have she come out to see you for so long?"

Laojun still wanted to speak, and King Donghai pushed her out, "The throne has been taken away. Do you still care about a ruthless granddaughter? Go back to the house quickly and find a way to contact my uncle. He is controlling the Southern Army outside the city. I don't believe that the Queen Mother really dares to offend her uncle."

Laojun woke up and speeded up his pace, "Yes, my grandson is too smart. I'll look for your uncle, go now..."

The women followed, Cui Xiaojun's mother pretended to look for the falling things and stayed at the end. When she passed by Han Ruzi, she whispered: "You really don't fight for the throne?"

"I don't have any roots and no foundation, and I don't have delusions."

Cui's mother nodded and stuffed a hairpin into Han Ruzi's hand, "Treat Xiaojun well." After that, she hurriedly chased Laojun.

The master and servant of the Cui family came and went quickly, and in a short while there was no trace.

Han Ruzi was stunned with her hairpin, and after a while, she said, "Can Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan allow the Cui family to be domineering for so long?"

"Emperor Wu is suspicious and Emperor Huan is worried. For them, the arrogant relatives of the foreigners are more trustworthy than the silent princes and ministers."

Han Ruzi had never experienced the true feelings of imperial power, so it was difficult to understand what Emperor Wu and Emperor Huan did. Then he thought of himself, "For example, the more I am like a fool, the safer it is, because no one will support him?"

Yang Feng nodded with a smile, "You are still far from the standard of a 'straitor'. Let's talk about this later. The Queen Mother's choice of a new king is a real threat to you."

"Ah, don't keep it a secret. Even if it's just a guess, tell me, who will the Empress Dowager be the emperor?" Han Ruzi could not hide his concern for this matter. Although the news would be heard soon, he still wanted to know earlier.

"If I guess correctly-" Yang Feng turned his head and looked at Zhang Youcai who had sneaked in, and did not chase him away. "The Empress Dowager chose the descendants of the former crown prince to ascend the throne."

"Former Prince?"

"Emperor Wu has appointed three princes, the first two are Prince Ju and Prince Yong, who have been executed one after another. You should have heard of it?"

Han Ruzi nodded, Zhang Youcai stood behind him and whispered: "The two princes died in the East Palace, so there was a haunted place, and no one dared to go."

Yang Feng snorted disdainfully and continued: "Captain Ju and Prince Yong's family were also implicated, but it is said that they each had a son who was less than three years old at the time to survive. One should be sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other should be six or seven years old. The latter meets the requirements of the queen mother, but the ministers may support the first one more, and I don't know how the queen mother chose."

"Will the Empress Dowager offend Mr. Cui in this way?" Han Ruzi couldn't understand the Empress Dowager's intention.

Yang Feng thought for a while, "It can only be the first one. When Prince Ju was most trusted during his lifetime, he once took charge of the Southern Army. His descendants became emperor and could disrupt the Southern Army's support for Taifu Cui. Moreover, he served as the prince for more than ten years and was the most popular among the ministers in the court, but-"

However, the eldest prince's orphan was already sixteen or seventeen years old and was almost adult. It would be difficult for the empress dowager to control the government.

Yang Feng said to himself, almost forgot that there were outsiders around him, "This is not enough. The empress dowager must have stronger guarantees before she dares to do this..."

The minister who ran away during the day came in panic and said to Juanhou: "The palace issued an order, requiring all the children of the royal family in the city to go to Taimiao to pay homage to the new emperor immediately."

There is no need to guess Han Ruzi and Yang Feng anymore.
