The Child Emperor - Chapter 564

[Chapter 558 The best teacher]

Han Ruzi suddenly thought of Lin Kunshan, and felt that he had seen the usual trick of the watcher again.

Hearing these three words, the East Sea King burst into tears.

Han Ruzi retracted his arms, sat down behind the table, looked at his younger brother, and gradually understood everything, “Lin Kunshan can’t go to the West alone, so he has to use my strength, um, this is indeed ‘following the trend’, he wants to Going to the gods and ghosts is a big deal, but what are you going to do? Are you staying and waiting to die?”

The King of the East Sea stopped crying, still holding the letter in both hands, “According to the original plan, the poison on the letter will not attack immediately, and everyone will not suspect me for a while. Lord, let alone who is the poisoner.”

“You haven’t given up yet?” Han Ruzi was both angry and heartbroken.

“I’ve already given up my heart, there’s no poison in this letter.” Fearing that the emperor would not believe it, the East Sea King stretched out his tongue and licked the envelope a few times.

Han Ruzi was stunned for a moment, and the things he just wanted to understand became vague again, “What the hell is going on?”

The King of the East Sea told another story.

When boarding the ship in the western port, the East Sea King was not alone. There were also several servants, one of whom was a close associate of the god and ghost Da Chanyu. He took the antidote and let the East Sea King take it every three months to delay the toxicity. , and only after the death of the Great Chu Emperor will he hand over the cure for the root cause.

The King of the East Sea had already returned to Da Chu, but he didn’t want to attack the emperor, so he pretended to find a better opportunity and hid in the Tan family of the East China Sea. He claimed to his wife and brother that he was afraid of seeing the emperor and wanted to hide for a while. Trying to deceive the antidote was unsuccessful.

A year ago, the Tan family accidentally leaked their tongue. Within a few days, Lin Kunshan, who was also living in seclusion in Donghai Kingdom, came to the door and saw Donghai King and the servant, and within a few days, they figured out the cause and effect.

After gaining the servant’s trust, Lin Kunshan came up with an idea.

It is an old method to apply poison on the letter, but it is very troublesome to find the right poison. Lin Kunshan took the responsibility and created a poison letter. Then he first set off to meet the god and ghost Da Shanyu, report the news, and prepare to take advantage of the civil unrest in Chu Re-launch the Eastern Expedition.

But the East Sea King repackaged the letter, leaving the poisoned letter at home. At this time, he was holding an ordinary letter in both hands.

“I would rather die than murder Your Majesty, I just…just…”

“Want to deceive the servant’s antidote?”

East Sea King nodded.

“Where’s the servant?”

“in my house.”

“Does he really have an antidote?”

“He only has an antidote once every three months, and the antidote for the root cause needs to be reconstituted.” King Donghai collapsed on his knees and couldn’t stand up on his knees.

Han Ruzi thought for a while, “You haven’t met Meng E, have you?”

“I have seen it, otherwise I would never have thought of using her to deceive Your Majesty. Although this letter is not the original, the content is exactly the same. I copied it down.”

Han Ruzi hesitated for a while, “Bring it to me.”

Donghai King walked forward on his knees, opened the envelope, took out the letter, licked it a few times to show that it was non-toxic, and then spread the letter on the table.

The content of the letter is simple: Your Majesty is safe. Hearing that the Chu army was victorious, he was very happy. Since then, Your Majesty should have no major worries, and I have nothing to do, so I went overseas to find my brother. After following His Majesty for many years, I have benefited a lot, and I am grateful, but I have realized something in my heart. The art of the emperor is beneficial to learn, and it is okay to not learn it. It is always a small way. His Majesty can defeat strong enemies and protect the great Chu, the emperor’s position is stable, and he can govern the country and the world without the need of the emperor. Thinking over it again and again, I am not the talent of the emperor, and I will end up hurting others and myself. It is better to go boating on the sea and cultivate my heart. Your Majesty take care. Moth hand book, a certain year month day.

Han Ruzi read it carefully and asked, “If this is a poison letter, how could it poison me?”

“Lin Kunshan said that His Majesty is attentive. After getting this letter, he must read it again and again. Poison is on his hands…”

“Hey, he’s still as smart as ever. Leave the letter and go home after lunch.”

The East Sea King was stunned, “Your Majesty… don’t blame me?”

“I blame you, I blame you for not coming back. When you go home, stabilize the servant—when does this poison strike?”

“It depends on the length of contact. It is said that it is ten to twenty days. If it is longer, the poison will be ineffective.”

“When the time comes, I will recuperate, and you will act according to your own plan.”

The East Sea King couldn’t believe it, “Your Majesty really doesn’t blame me?”

“The Chu army’s expedition has cost the people and money, but the gains are not much. The gods and ghosts Yu Ken once again marched eastward, that is, he sent them to his door. I can’t ask for it, and of course I have to take advantage of it. Take advantage of the situation.” Blink your eyes.

The King of the East Sea breathed a sigh of relief, “I swear, although I thought about deceiving Your Majesty, I have no intention of murder.”

“I believe you, get up.”

King Donghai got up and picked up the letter on the table, “I’ll burn it. Neither the original nor this letter should be kept.”

“No, just stay.”

The King of the East Sea put down the letter, and Han Ruzi held it down with a paperweight, got up and said, “Let’s go, go shopping first, then eat.”

When they got downstairs, Cui Teng came up again, looked at the East Sea King and mocked: “You actually cried? Haha.”

After dinner, King Donghai said goodbye and went home. Han Ruzi went back upstairs, removed the paperweight on the table, read the letter again, walked to the door, and asked the eunuch to take the letter from the table and find a place to burn it. .

If this is really Meng E’s letter, then she must have left very decisively, not revealing anything in the text.

“Rafting at sea.” Han Ruzi couldn’t help laughing.

The next afternoon, the King of the East Sea came to see the car again. When there were no outsiders, he said, “The servant should have believed it, but he will not prepare an antidote until His Majesty has a seizure.”

“Well, don’t worry, he wants to use you to manipulate the court, and he will definitely give you the antidote.”

“I really wish I had died on the battlefield.” Donghai King said angrily.

“I sent you as an envoy, no wonder you.”

“There is one more thing, I was going to say it yesterday, but I forgot it for a while.”

“what’s up?”

“When the Chu army was at war with the enemy army, someone once entered the camp at night to assassinate the god and ghost Da Chanyu, but it was unsuccessful. The assassin came to see me and asked me to send a message to His Majesty, saying ‘the book is still there’.”

Han Ruzi was taken aback, “Who is the assassin? Don’t you want to die? He did say that he was going to assassinate him, but there was no news, and he disappeared after the war.”

“I don’t know who it is, but it must be a man.”

“‘That book is still there’—it means “Chun Yu Zi”.”

“Presumably, he didn’t explain and left soon. I guess he was playing tricks and said that I would be let go, so I waited so long. In fact, what if the book is still there?”

“Perhaps he wasn’t talking about books, but someone who looked out for breath. Isn’t Lin Kunshan re-emerging?”

“Qi Wang is almost dead, what else does Lin Kunshan want?”

“Chunyuzi is a book of rebellion and a book of emperors, so ‘following the trend’ is not only a means of looking forward to qi, but also a technique of emperors.” Han Ruzi sighed very lightly, and hoped to tell Meng E these words. Listening, he quickly threw her out of his heart, “Isn’t this also used?”

The East Sea King looked surprised, “Your Majesty said that he is also a hopeful?”

Han Ruzi smiled and shook his head, “You go back first, you don’t have to come again these few days, the news of my recuperation will spread out, you can find a way to get the antidote, this is more important than anything else.”

The King of the East Sea was about to cry again, so he forcibly held it back and left.

Han Ruzi returned to the harem earlier. Today should be the day to greet the queen mother.

Empress Dowager Cining was coaxing a few grandchildren. The Northern Prince stood the furthest, with a reluctant expression on his face, while Prince Qing and Prince Deng stayed in their grandmother’s arms and refused to leave.

Seeing the emperor, Empress Dowager Cining ordered the maid to take the child away. After accepting the greeting, she said, “The King of the East Sea is back?”

“Yes.”

“He shouldn’t come back.”

“The King of the East Sea serves the country, and it is a good thing to be able to come back alive.”

“Your Majesty’s heart is too kind, but I don’t believe him. After wandering outside for several years, who knows if he has become worse and more insidious.”

Han Ruzi smiled, “The Queen Mother don’t have to worry, in a few months, I will send him back to the East China Sea.”

“Really?” Empress Dowager Cining was a little surprised.

“The princes should go to the country. This is the rule of the ancestors. The king of the East Sea is not too young, and he cannot always stay in the capital.”

“Your Majesty finally figured it out.” Empress Dowager Cining smiled.

Han Ruzi will no longer keep the East Sea King by his side.

“I also heard that the King of England is going to be independent overseas, but His Majesty agreed. Why is that?”

“We are far apart, and the Great Chu is unable to restrain the King of England. It is better to follow his will and defeat the god and ghost Da Chanyu together first. I will send envoys to the King of England’s army. In addition to the canonization, I will also promise to the countries at sea to make contributions in wartime and fight against the enemy. Later, those who pay tribute to the Great Chu will be rewarded heavily. At that time, I will personally seal several important princes and use them to restrain the British king, which is more effective than empty threats.”

Empress Dowager Cining looked at the emperor and found that she couldn’t make any suggestions. She sighed softly, “The affairs of the state have been settled, and family affairs must also be considered.”

“The queen is happy again.”

“Of course, if the queen gives birth to a direct son, I have nothing to say. What if it is still a daughter? Is your majesty ready?”

“I will choose a master for each of the three princes. Prince Bei is impatient, and I will assign him a mature and serious person named Luo Shifu. Prince Qing is weak, so I will assign a strong-willed person named Nan Guanmei. Prince Deng is smart. , I arranged for a person who speaks cautiously, called Shen Daxing. Five years later, I will choose the best and stand.”

The Empress Dowager Cining was silent for a while, “Your Majesty is letting your son fight since childhood.”

“You have to fight for the throne before you know how to cherish it. Even if the queen gives birth to a direct son, I will not immediately become the crown prince, but will have to observe it for a few years.”

Dowager Ci Ning sighed again, “Your Majesty is the emperor, and everything is up to His Majesty. While the princes are still young, I will enjoy the joy of grandparents and grandchildren for a few more years.”

“Is the queen mother satisfied?”

“Everyone must be satisfied with the emperor. However, I don’t think it matters who the three masters are. The best master of the princes is His Majesty himself.”

Han Ruzi smiled, resigned and left, walking halfway, and suddenly stopped. The eunuchs didn’t know why, so they all stopped.

Han Ruzi suddenly realized something, his mother was right, he was the best teacher, he always wanted to find another person like Yang Feng, but he never thought that he was Yang Feng’s successor. Become a gentleman and teach the next generation.

Those who hope for qi are revived, why can’t Yang Feng?

Han Ruzi did not go to Qiuxin Palace, but returned to Tai’an Palace and sent someone to bring the three princes.

The three sons stood in a row, and Han Ruzi sat on the couch, ten paces away from them.

“Remember this sentence, the emperor is a loner, you don’t need to understand, just remember it.” Han Ruzi said, no longer caring about those who disappeared, no longer caring about the restless King of the East Sea in the mansion, no longer caring about thousands of miles away The gods and ghosts of Da Shan Yu and the King of England.

The three princes nodded at the same time.

“The emperor is the strongest and most vulnerable. I want to tell you about the weakness of the emperor.”

Han Ruzi thought of Yang Feng, the three-page book left by Yang Feng, and the message sent by the King of the East Sea. The first lesson he wanted to teach his sons was to be in awe.

“There is a mysterious organization in this world that secretly manipulates the government and even plans to assassinate them. I have been searching for their whereabouts. When you grow up, you must continue to search.”

The three princes widened their eyes, both frightened and excited.
