Little emperor

Chapter 53

The next day, King Wen was woken up by Zhou Shangshu before dawn.

"It's too early..."

King Wen yawned and let his followers comb his hair.

The entourage said seriously: "Your Highness, this is your first time going to court! It's very meaningful!"

King Wen's eyelids were bleary, and he said sarcastically: "It is indeed of great significance. This king is risking his life to help the court deal with King Zhao."

"Your Highness, you can't think like this. You have to think, now that you have helped the court, you have helped His Majesty. As long as you cultivate a good relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely use you in the future!" The attendant looked down at King Wen, and continued to support He combs his hair.

King Wen waved his hand: "Don't be like this. I don't want to be reused by Your Majesty. As long as I can stay in the capital and live well, I will be satisfied."

"Then you have to cultivate your relationship with His Majesty! After you have cultivated your relationship with Your Majesty, you can ask His Majesty to arrange for you to manage the affairs of the clan. Even if I haven't read a few books, I know that only those who are trusted by His Majesty can Manage the affairs of the clan." The attendant carefully handed the leather strap to King Wen to put it on.

King Wen was thoughtful, and his heart moved.

After getting dressed, he walked out of the house.Seeing Zhou Shangshu in the yard, he smiled and said, "Zhou Shangshu and this king have dinner together?"

Zhou Shangshu responded anxiously to King Wen: "Let's go to court first!"

What food do you use!If you don't go out again, you will be late!This King Wen is really dawdling.

King Wen was a little embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, and went out with Zhou Shangshu.

"My lord, today I will go to court by myself."

Gu Yang woke up today, very energetic.The watery eyes are clear and clear.

Manager Wang was stunned for a moment, seeing that the little emperor was in a good mood today, he smiled and nodded: "Okay."

After Gu Yang washed up and finished his breakfast, he changed into the little dragon robe and the Yishan crown.The whole person looks like a bright pearl, shining brightly.

Qi Erniang was standing outside waiting, seeing the little emperor dressed like this, she suddenly became nervous.Although the little emperor's attire was very good-looking, he was so noble that people dared not approach him, and subconsciously felt awe.This is the awe of power.

Subconsciously, Erniang Qi lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the little emperor.I feel that if I just look at the little emperor more, it is a kind of blasphemy.

It was not the first time Ye Dalang had seen the little emperor look like this, but this was the first time he had seen the little emperor wearing the Yishan Crown.After wearing the Yishan crown, the little emperor had an extra sense of majesty.

Not knowing what was going on, Ye Dalang blurted out and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, how heavy is this crown?"

Qi Erniang stomped on her son vigorously and gave him a glare.

Director Wang, the small table and others stared at Ye Dalang with cold eyes.

Only now did Ye Dalang realize that he was in a daze, and he would ask such a question!

Is this what he should ask!

"Your Majesty, I was just talking nonsense! Please punish me!" Ye Dalang was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Gu Yang smiled and responded softly: "Well, it's very heavy."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yang took small steps and passed by Ye Dalang.

When Mr. Wang and the little table passed by Ye Dalang, the two of them stared at Ye Dalang coldly and said nothing, but cold sweat broke out on Ye Dalang's forehead.

Qi Erniang kicked her son's ass and cursed in a low voice: "Did you get caught by a ghost just now! What nonsense! If you dare to talk such nonsense in front of His Majesty in the future, you will resign yourself!"

Really, the little emperor was so sad yesterday, everyone saw it, and felt very distressed.It was a good thing that the little emperor recovered his mood today, but Ye Dalang suddenly asked a disappointing question.I don't know if the little emperor understands...

Ye Dalang patted his mouth twice, and said angrily, "It's my fault! Mom, I won't talk nonsense in the future!"

Qi Erniang didn't say anything about him, and the mother and son hurried out to protect the little emperor.

After King Wen followed Zhou Shangshu into the imperial city, he was taken away by the palace servants.Stay and wait on the way the little emperor passes by.

Seeing a group of people appearing, King Wen touched his leather hat, straightened his clothes, and after making sure that his appearance was fine, he stood upright and greeted the little emperor.

"See Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Enduring the pain in his back, King Wen wanted to salute the little emperor.Stopped by Manager Wang, he quickly supported King Wen, and said aloud, "His Royal Highness King Wen is injured, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

Gu Yang's voice came from the dragon's chariot: "Well, King Wen is free."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" King Wen relaxed.

To be honest, he was quite nervous the first time he went to court.

Manager Wang also saw King Wen's nervousness, and comforted him as he walked, "Your Highness, King Wen, don't worry. In the court hall, the ministers will ask His Majesty after raising political matters. At that time, His Majesty will look at you. You just follow the above nodding, or shaking his head."

As he said that, Director Wang stuffed a piece of paper to King Wen.

King Wen hurriedly scanned the words on the paper.This is the content of the proceedings in the court, which clearly states everything and his response.King Wen hurriedly memorized it, fearing that he might make a mistake, he repeated it all the way.

The drums sounded, and the officials in the hall who were discussing in groups suddenly stopped talking and returned to their positions to stand still.Wait until the little emperor comes to court.

"His Majesty is here!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the officials saluted.

Gu Yang took a step forward, with no emotion on his small face, and walked into the hall calmly, stepping up the steps step by step.Because of the short legs, it was a bit difficult to sit on the dragon chair.Director Wang wanted to reach out to help the little emperor, but the little emperor quickly climbed up.

After sitting down, Gu Yang glanced at everyone.Fortunately, they were all saluting, and no one was staring at him except Mr. Wang.

"Everyone is in peace." Gu Yang spoke with a soft voice.There is no majesty at all.

"Thank you, my emperor!" The officials raised their heads.

When they found that King Wen was standing next to the dragon chair, the officials were dumbfounded and stared at King Wen in disbelief.

All of a sudden, everyone thought that King Wen controlled the little emperor and wanted to control the government!

Some older pure ministers couldn't bear it, and asked King Wen angrily, "This is the court! Why is King Wen here!"

Only with the approval of the emperor, the vassal kings who have received errands are eligible to appear in the court and participate in the government.King Wen has no right to stand here!

King Wen pretended to be calm, he wanted to force a smile and respond to the other party calmly.But I really can't laugh.He was also afraid that his timidity would be revealed by his facial expression, so he simply faced the little emperor and gave everyone a profile.Taking a deep breath, biting the sound and smacking the words, he said seriously: "Naturally, His Majesty has allowed this king to go to court."

The officials naturally did not believe it.They were sure that King Wen must have controlled the little emperor!So the little emperor had to obey King Wen's words.King Wen will appear here!

The veteran asked Gu Yang loudly with disbelief on his face, "Is that so, Your Majesty?"

Gu Yang looked puzzled, tilted his head, and looked at King Wen.

With the appearance of the little emperor, he obviously didn't know anything, and was tricked by King Wen!Now just listen to King Wen's words!Seeing this, the officials were even more worried.King Qin's rebellion has just ended, and now King Wen is ambitious, trying to control the little emperor and control the court.The little emperor's throne is really at stake!The big week may change at any time!

The officials all looked at Li Taifu and others.I hope Li Taifu and others will speak out to clean up King Wen and drive King Wen away.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li spoke out calmly and reported the recent work content.

He Zuoxiang also ignored King Wen, and after Li Taifu finished the two things, he followed up to report the next thing.

Only Zhao Youxiang looked gloomy and dissatisfied.

After He Zuoxiang finished speaking, Zhao Youxiang pointed to King Wen, and asked Li Taifu and He Zuoxiang angrily: "Can you really not see King Wen standing on top! Even if the vassal prince goes to court, he must stand below! Your Majesty Hajj ceremony!"

Song Shangshu took the lead and echoed: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is very true! King Wen's move is against the rules! Can't the Tai Tuo and Prime Minister Right see it? Or, King Wen's presence here is supported by the two of you?"

With the voice of the right faction, even pure ministers who do not usually participate in the confrontation between the left and the right faction can't help but echo the right faction, accuse King Wen of ulterior motives, and question Li Taifu and He Zuo. King Wen colluded.

All of a sudden, there was a quarrel in the hall.

King Wen: ...

He swallowed, couldn't help turning his head around, and secretly glanced down.

What a mess!These officials were all arguing red-faced and grim-faced. They fought through the air, spraying their saliva on each other vigorously.Where is Sven?Where is the manners?

Manager Wang stared at King Wen with deep eyes, and coughed in a low voice.

King Wen hurriedly looked away.Alas, this development is completely different from what they expected before!Then the ones he memorized before going up to the court, can he still use it?

Inadvertently looking at the little emperor, he saw the little emperor with a smile on his face, watching the crowd quarreling with interest, watching with relish.

King Wen: ...

It seems that the little emperor loves to watch this.Yes, life in this palace is really boring.It is rare for such a lively event to happen, and the little emperor will definitely be very curious.

Unable to look at the people below, King Wen simply looked at the little emperor.After the little emperor put on the Yishan crown today, he exuded a sense of majesty.Even sitting on the dragon chair at this moment, with a smiling appearance, is very majestic.

The time-telling drum sounded again and again, and the whole morning passed like this.This large group of officials is still arguing, and when they get tired of arguing, they stop and replace others to continue arguing.

King Wen listened all morning, and his ears were numb.These officials are really ruthless when they scold people.One hat buttoned bigger than the other!Even the sinners in the history books, who have nothing to do with this dynasty or today's events, have to be mentioned by them to scold their colleagues.Anyway, this group of people will scold them no matter how ruthless they are!

The funniest one is He Zuoxiang, arguing with Zhao Youxiang, at first it was acting.It got really noisy in the back.He Zuoxiang directly attacked Zhao Youxiang's appearance.Zhao Youxiang suddenly became angry, and scolded He Zuoxiang with a distorted expression, and scolded him even harder.Scolding He Zuoxiang's tone and remarks is the same as accusing He Zuoxiang of colluding with King Wen and attempting to murder the little emperor.

Several times, King Wen couldn't hold back, and secretly looked down.Zhao Youxiang's face is really ugly!He looked fierce, like a deadly ghost.You can draw it and stick it on the door to ward off evil spirits.A real ghost is here, and seeing the vicious portrait of Zhao Youxiang, one has to be afraid, maybe even scared out of his wits!

And He Zuoxiang's expression was not good.Cursing and cursing, he directly scolded Zhao Youxiang for being shameless, not knowing what shame is.Loudly told everyone how Zhao Youxiang coaxed the little emperor to praise his appearance in the Long Live Hall last time.

After hearing this, the Zuoxiang faction took advantage of this matter to further ridicule Zhao Youxiang not only for being ugly, but also for being shameless!

Zhao Youxiang was so angry that his face turned black.I almost couldn't hold back several times and wanted to hit this group of people with something.

Anyway, the quarrel that lasted for several hours became more and more fierce.

Compared with Zhao Youxiang and He Zuoxiang who were fighting so fiercely, Taifu Li was quieter.Even if he was surrounded by a group of people who questioned his loyalty and questioned his relationship with King Wen.Taifu Li was still able to calmly ignore the voices around him, he looked at the people around him expressionlessly, and did not intend to respond to them.The more you respond, the more excited these people are.Taifu Li is getting old, so he doesn't want to waste his tongue arguing so much with these people.

Even if Li Taifu kept his mouth shut and pretended to be dead, the officials around him still didn't let him go, especially those pure ministers.They surrounded Mrs. Li, told him long stories and righteousness, and told him two emperors ahead of him.Anyway, surround Taifu Li closely, and you will do ideological work for Taifu Li.

Mrs. Li felt hungry and didn't know what time it was.The hall was too noisy, and the drums outside could not be heard at all.

Opening his eyes, he looked up.

Looking at them, they found that the little emperor was looking at them cheerfully.

Taifu Li: ...

This look is so familiar.

For some reason, Taifu Li suddenly remembered that they had quarreled in the main hall after the morning court.But Manager Wang didn't immediately take the little emperor back to the palace.Just hold the little emperor and watch them argue.The way the little emperor looked at them back then was exactly the same as the way he looked at them now!

It seems that the little emperor likes to watch them quarrel!

It's time to end today's morning.

Mrs. Li thought about this, then took two steps forward, walked up to a strong official, rolled his eyes suddenly, and passed out.

"Teacher!"

After the opponent caught Mrs. Li, he panicked immediately.After the other officials froze for a moment, they quickly stopped arguing.

"It's not good! The Taifu has fainted! Send it to the Taifu!"

The leftist faction and the rightist faction had been arguing fiercely, but when they heard that Mrs. Li had an accident, the two factions had to stop and pay attention to Mrs. Li's situation first.

He Zuoxiang and Zhao Youxiang came to Taifu Li's side in a gloomy manner, and they spoke at the same time, asking indifferently, "What's wrong with Taifu?"

"The lower official didn't know, so he passed out suddenly. This matter has nothing to do with the lower official! The lower official didn't do anything! The Taifu himself fainted!" The official was so panicked that he was afraid that everyone would suspect that Taifu Li's accident had something to do with him .He can't afford this responsibility!

He Zuoxiang squinted at Zhao Youxiang, and turned his head to look up.

Manager Wang calmly watched the group of people quarrel all morning.Seeing Taifu Li pretending to be dizzy on purpose, he thought it was funny.He announced his withdrawal from the court aloud, ending today's morning court.

Gu Yang naturally saw that Taifu Li was pretending to be dizzy on purpose.Just after the two looked at each other, Mrs. Li walked up to an official and then passed out. This was too deliberate!Tsk tsk, all the people in the hall have some acting skills!Don't underestimate it!

Only King Wen, when he heard that Mrs. Li had an accident, thought that the other party was really unwell, and looked down worriedly.

After most of the officials had exited the main hall, Director Wang smiled lightly and said to Taifu Li: "Teacher, do you still need to teach the imperial physician?"

Taifu Li was supported by Zhou Shangshu at this time, and the official who supported Taifu Li just now had left.

When He Zuoxiang and Zhao Youxiang heard Mr. Wang's words, they understood that Taifu Li had pretended to be dizzy on purpose.

Only Zhou Shangshu asked Director Wang in doubt: "The Taifu is fainted, how can he answer?"

Director Wang looked at the people below with a half-smile, and said slowly: "It seems that the Tai Tuo really wants to teach the Tai Physician."

Taifu Li coughed suddenly, opened his eyes full, looked at Zhou Shangshu blankly, and asked aloud: "Old man, what's wrong with old man?"

Zhou Shangshu didn't think too much, and immediately replied: "Teacher, you fainted just now, how are you doing now? Why don't you let the doctor take a look?"

He Zuoxiang and Zhao Youxiang stared at Li Taifu speechlessly.

Zhao Youxiang turned his head to look up, revealing a smile that he thought was kind but actually was naughty.He said, "Your Majesty, what is your appearance like?"

Hearing this, He Zuoxiang glared at Zhao Youxiang.This old slut is really shameless!

Gu Yang nodded with a smile, stretched out his finger and pointed to his small nose, and responded to Zhao Youxiang: "Your Prime Minister is beautiful!"

Zhao Youxiang suddenly felt happy, glanced proudly at He Zuoxiang, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Your Majesty still has vision! Unlike some people who don't understand aesthetics!"

He Zuoxiang's face darkened slightly, feeling aggrieved.I feel that the little emperor's aesthetic must be corrected as soon as possible!

Director Wang was too lazy to listen to their quarrel, and asked the little emperor softly: "Your Majesty has worked hard today, shall we go back to the palace for dinner?"

King Wen: ...

He didn't see where the little emperor had worked so hard.Go out and sit on the dragon chariot, come to the main hall, and sit there all the time.This morning, watching everyone as a show, what a joy to watch!

And he got up before dawn, hungry, and rushed to court.Standing here, I was scolded by everyone all morning.Even the father who took him to death was scolded for a long time.

King Wen felt that he had worked hard!

But he didn't dare to say this.

"Well, does your majesty want to listen to the minister tell a story?" King Wen had been hungry for so long and hadn't eaten yet, he felt that he would not be able to go out of the palace.Maybe you will faint from hunger on the way.He could only have the cheek to take the initiative to find an opportunity to have a meal with the little emperor.

Gu Yang glanced at King Wen and nodded to him.

King Wen laughed happily, and left here with the little emperor and Director Wang.

When Mr. Wang accompanied the little emperor to court, the small table was not idle, he went to Yilie Changle Palace himself.

Compared with before, the living environment in Changle Palace is much better now.Plants, trees and flowers are all repaired.The path is clean, not even a leaf.

When the maid saw the small table, she bowed to him respectfully: "Eunuch Zhuo."

The little table nodded, and indifferently asked about Queen Mother Ning's activities in recent days.

After listening to the maid's report, the little table nodded and walked towards the apse.

Empress Dowager Ning hadn't woken up yet.Director Wang said that as long as she doesn't leave Changle Palace and doesn't abuse the palace people, she can do whatever she wants.So, Empress Dowager Ning found an interesting thing - making clothes by herself!

I stayed up late last night to sew and didn't go to bed until late.So the sun was up and she wasn't awake yet.

The little table stood at the door and told the maid: "Serve the Empress Dowager and get up!"

"Yes!" The maid nodded, immediately went to fetch water, brought it into the room, woke up Empress Dowager Ning, and waited for her to wash.

Hearing that the small table was coming, Empress Dowager Ning was a little nervous, she didn't dare to keep the small table waiting, and kept urging the maid to move faster.

After washing and dressing neatly, Empress Dowager Ning came out of the room, showed a smile, and asked flatteringly, "Eunuch Zhuo is here this time, is there any order from the prince?"

The little table nodded, looked up and down at Empress Dowager Ning, and said: "There are indeed orders. After a while, Emperor Hui will be buried, and the Empress Dowager will appear on the stage. You have to be prepared."

Empress Dowager Ning froze for a moment, then nodded obediently: "The Ai family must be obedient!"

"Our family remembers that the empress dowager gave birth to two princes before. I wonder if we can talk about this?" The small table asked empress dowager Ning with a light smile.

Empress Dowager Ning's eyes suddenly changed, her eyes dodged, she didn't dare to look directly at the small table, and said in a low voice: "It is true that the Ai family gave birth to two princes. But, but they all..."

Seeing her unnaturalness, the little table narrowed its eyes, feeling that there was something wrong with the other party, deliberately lowered its voice, and said in a sullen tone: "The empress dowager, let's carefully recall what happened to the two princes back then!"

Feeling the other party's displeasure, Empress Dowager Ning panicked.Could it be that they discovered what happened back then?So Director Wang sent a small desk to interrogate her?

But things have passed for many years, why did Director Wang suddenly investigate this matter?Are you dissatisfied with her performance, so you look for an opportunity to clean her up?

Empress Dowager Ning was so frightened that she knelt down, hugged the legs of the small table, and begged: "Eunuch Zhuo! I know I was wrong! I will really obey your words! Please, let me die!"

The little table bent down, stretched out his hand and grabbed Empress Dowager Ning's hair, and said in a very rough voice, "Quickly tell me!"

Empress Dowager Ning looked fearful, trembling her hands, and said with a stiff face, "Yes, it was my fault... I wanted to live back then, and was afraid that one of these two princes would be crowned prince. Then, then I intentionally Don't cover them with quilts, let them catch cold and get sick, and don't cover them with quilts during their illness... So, so they... Zhuo Gonggong! I really know my mistake! I was forced to do it back then! I don't want to die Ah! I beg you, don't punish me! I have confessed to you, and if you don't mind the matter, no one else will know. . . . Please!"

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Ning kowtowed to the small table with a blank face.

The little table was thoughtful, and asked: "Did someone talk to you about something back then?"

Empress Dowager Ning was stunned and raised her head, not knowing what the small table asked.

Seeing her stupid look, the little table asked more bluntly: "Before you decided to murder the two princes, did anyone talk to you about the princes. For example, hinted at you and asked you to attack the two princes?"

"This..." Empress Dowager Ning was stunned.Start thinking about the past seriously.

Back then, the palace killed two princes one after another, which was a big deal!Anyway, during that time, because Emperor Hui was in a bad mood, the atmosphere in the harem was very depressing.The concubines who had princes in their names were worried, for fear that Emperor Hui would choose their children to be crowned princes.In this way, as the biological mother, she must be given death.So during that time, the concubines taught their children to pretend to be stupid, pretend to be stupid, pretend to be sick.

Originally, Empress Dowager Ning did not know these things.It was a Zhaoyi who came to the palace where they lived. When visiting other sisters, he passed by her house. After seeing her two sons, he stopped suddenly, praised her two sons for their good looks, and then mentioned What happened in the palace recently.The other party also kindly told her that if she didn't want her son to be established as the prince, then she had to keep a low profile.

At that time, the other party said a lot, and after listening to it, Empress Dowager Ning felt anxious and began to worry.

At night, other concubines in the palace would gather in the courtyard to chat.

Empress Dowager Ning has to take care of two children on weekdays, so she has no time to join in the fun.But this day she was anxious and anxious, and she didn't want to talk to the two children at all.Then go out to chat with those sisters.

I forgot who mentioned it first, anyway, it is said that children before the age of ten are relatively fragile and easy to get sick.Some even died young because of persistent high fever after catching cold.

I don't know what happened to myself at the time.After listening to those words, it was like being obsessed with ghosts. When I returned to the house, the eyes staring at the two children became strange.

After that, Queen Mother Ning killed the two princes...

After listening to the small table, with a sullen face, he asked the identities of those concubines and left Changle Palace directly.

"Eunuch Zhuo!" Seeing him leaving without saying anything, Empress Dowager Ning was terrified.Quickly got up and chased out.When Naihe chased to the gate, the man had already left.

Empress Dowager Ning knelt at the door, covered her face with her hands, and cried, "It's my fault! I'm so stupid!"

In the past, she listened to other people's words and killed her own child by being obsessed with ghosts.Before, she obeyed her elder brother's words, used the little emperor to threaten powerful officials in a foolish way, and then killed the Ning family.Now I have the identity of a queen mother for nothing, and my husband, children, and relatives are gone!At this time, Queen Mother Ning really regretted it!

Although the little emperor is so young, he doesn't remember much.But those ministers will remember that.I will eventually mention it to the little emperor in the future.When the little emperor grows up and knows these things, maybe even the queen mother won't recognize her!

Tears flowed more and more, and Empress Dowager Ning beat her head hard.If even the identity of the queen mother is lost, without the life of rich clothes and fine food, what's the point of her being alive?

Seeing Empress Dowager Ning treating her like this, the court lady looked hesitant, wondering if she should step forward to stop her.

After beating for a while, Queen Mother Ning put down her hand and smiled wryly.All the bad results are her own fault!

After wiping away her tears, Empress Dowager Ning got up, went back to the apse, and locked herself in the room.

"The queen mother is like this, do you want to tell Eunuch Zhuo?"

"Let's just say it!"

The two maids discussed in low voices.
