Little emperor

Chapter 54

After the small table surveyed, he frowned and returned to the Long Live Hall.Waiting until noon, seeing that Manager Wang and the little emperor hadn't come back, he planned to pick them up.

Halfway down the road, we met them.The little table trotted over quickly.

When he got close and saw that King Wen was there, the small table suddenly stopped and stared at King Wen with displeasure.

King Wen was chatting with Manager Wang when he noticed the small table was coming, so he stopped the topic.Seeing that the other party still looked at him with unfriendly eyes, King Wen was puzzled. After thinking about it, he decided to find an opportunity to chat with the small table to find out why he was not pleasing to the eye.

Before the small table could speak, Manager Wang asked directly, "Is lunch ready?"

The little table nodded: "Lunch has been prepared, and when His Majesty returns to the palace, the meal will be delivered."

Director Wang knew that the little table came to him, so he must have found out something.He looked calm and didn't rush to ask.Instead, they chatted about the little emperor's lunch today in a casual tone.

When the little table answered Mr. Wang, he spoke to Long Nian and told the little emperor what to have for lunch with a smile.

Gu Yang's voice came from the dragon chariot: "Well, it's all what I like to eat."

When Director Wang heard this, his face paused, and he glanced at the palace guards and guards.It seems that I have to teach the little emperor, so that I will not be able to show my preferences in front of others in the future.Although these palace servants and guards who are serving the little emperor are loyal, no one knows if something will happen in the future.

Back at the Long Live Hall, Gu Yang took off Yishan's crown and replaced it with the dragon robe.

The palace servants have already delivered the lunch, all of which have been tested and there is no problem.

Gu Yang invited Wen Wang and others to have dinner together, Ye Dalang was not polite at all, and sat at the table with Wen Wang directly.Qi Erniang glared at her son.

Ye Dalang said with a smile: "Mother, sit down! His Royal Highness King Wen won't mind."

King Wen nodded quickly: "Miss Qi, let's have dinner together!"

To be honest, he admired Qi Erniang a lot.A middle-aged woman entered the palace as a guard with such great courage.Able to ignore everyone's comments, don't care about other people's eyes, and do what you want to do.Such a person has perseverance, a strong spirit, and cannot be messed with.

Now that King Wen had spoken, Qi Erniang had no choice but to sit down and eat with them.

Gu Yang washed his little hands and prepared to eat.Seeing Director Wang and the little table walking out of the Long Live Hall, he looked at them and shouted: "Come back quickly to eat!"

Director Wang stopped in his tracks, turned around with a smile and responded, "Yes."

After going outside, he found a remote corner, and then the small table opened his mouth to tell Manager Wang what he had investigated today.

"Your Majesty is wise! The two princes of the Empress Dowager were not accidental, but murdered by humans. After the death of Prince Huaiming and Prince Huaide, everyone in the palace who had princes in their names was in fear. Their child is the prince, so someone took advantage of this to create panic. The empress dowager was bewitched by others, so they attacked the two princes."

Speaking of this, the small table paused for a moment, frowned, and said in a low voice: "According to the queen mother's account, I investigated the concubines who bewitched her back then, and none of them had children, and they were buried a year ago."

One year ago, Emperor Hui passed away. Although his imperial mausoleum has not been completed, the place where he will be buried has already been built.So those concubines who were buried have been sent to the imperial tomb for burial.The people who participated in this incident back then are all dead, and the investigation of the matter has reached this point, and the clues have been cut off.

Director Wang's eyes were cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Those concubines are gone, but the maids who served them are still there. Check it out for our family!"

Director Wang was just suspicious at first, but now that these things have been investigated, it is enough to prove that there is a black hand in the palace murdering the emperor's heir!And the mastermind behind all this is King Zhao!

King Zhao must be eliminated!Whether it's conspiracy, conspiracy, or despicable means, it must be eliminated!

The small table praised: "The prince is smart!"

Why can't he think of this!

"Let's go. Have dinner with us." Manager Wang changed his tone, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated.

The little table nodded, remembered something, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why is King Wen here?"

"Your Majesty wants to hear him tell stories. You, be kind to King Wen. King Wen is still useful to the court, and useful to His Majesty." Director Wang reminded him in a low voice.

"Yes..." The small table nodded awkwardly.

Back at the Long Live Hall, Manager Wang looked at the little emperor with a smile, and seeing that the little emperor had eaten half a bowl, he nodded with satisfaction, went to another table and sat down to eat.

The small table also sat down, glanced at King Wen's table, and saw that the other party was eating so happily, he shook his head in disgust.After all, he is a vassal king, and he looks like he has never eaten delicious food.

In the afternoon, I received news from Changle Palace that the small table did not pass by.They sent someone to bring a message to Empress Dowager Ning, as long as the other party is obedient, they will naturally treat her well.Let this palace man teach Empress Dowager Ning what to do on the day of Emperor Huidi's burial.

Empress Dowager Ning breathed a sigh of relief after learning about the attitude of the small table.Seriously follow this palace man to learn the rules.

King Wen's going to court had a great influence.Many officials even became suspicious of the Ye family.The little emperor is young and the easiest to be controlled by others.Before giving Ye Erlang the military power, and letting Qi Erniang enter the palace as a bodyguard, some people associated these two events with King Wen.It is suspected that King Wen taught the little emperor to do these things.

After persuading Grand Tutor Li not to move, some older pure ministers went straight into the palace and ran to the Long Live Hall to see the little emperor.I want to personally teach the little emperor that the human heart is sinister.

Manager Wang knew that a group of pure officials were coming outside, so he didn't stop them.Just let them in.

King Wen is telling the little emperor about his life experience.Seeing such a group of people coming, these people looked at him with hostility, obviously coming for him.

These pure ministers did not expect that King Wen would be in the Long Live Palace!They turned their heads and glared at Director Wang, suspecting that Director Wang had been won over by King Wen, that's why King Wen could control the little emperor so easily!

Manager Wang couldn't see what they were thinking, and explained to them in a low voice with helplessness: "Our family can't help it. Your Majesty is very close to His Highness King Wen. No matter what our family persuades, His Majesty will not listen. You must listen to His Highness King Wen. Story. Let King Wen come and accompany him."

Chunchen stared at Director Wang suspiciously.The older pure minister asked Manager Wang in a low voice: "If you stop, how can King Wen see His Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is crying, and our family can't bear it. After all, he is His Majesty, the master, and our family is just a slave. How dare you disobey His Majesty's order? You don't know, now His Majesty has learned to give orders. If anyone refuses to obey, say Who are you going to hack to death!" Manager Wang poured out bitterness to them with a sad face.

Someone asked Manager Wang with a sullen face: "Your Majesty gave Ye Erlang the military power and let Mrs. Ye enter the palace as a guard, can it be related to King Wen?"

"This..." Mr. Wang was in a deep embarrassment, with a look of embarrassment.

"What is this! Did King Wen persuade His Majesty to give the order?" Some irritable pure ministers glared at Manager Wang, urging him to tell the truth.

Manager Wang pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "It is indeed His Majesty's order. For the specific situation, you should ask the Taifu and them! They are also clear about this matter."

Now, the pure ministers are very disappointed with Li Taifu.It turned out that they were headed by Li Taifu.They neither support He Zuoxiang nor Zhao Youxiang. Whatever attitude Li Taifu has, they will have that attitude.Now, Taifu Li has been disloyal to the little emperor, and they will never trust this person again in the future!

But I have come here, this trip can't be in vain.

Then, the older pure minister suddenly started crying, knelt down towards the little emperor, and said bitterly, "I beg your majesty to be a good minister, you are a villain!"

King Wen: ...

Gu Yang looked at the veteran with a puzzled look, and asked aloud, "What do you mean?"

The older pure minister wiped away his tears and began to teach the little emperor seriously.

"A virtuous minister is a virtuous courtier, that is, a courtier and others. A villain is an ambitious chaotic courtier like King Wen! Your Majesty, please be close to us wise courtiers and stay away from chaotic courtiers like King Wen!"

King Wen: ...

He looked at these people blankly.

Scold it. Scold it.The harder you scold him now, the more embarrassing these people will be when he recovers his reputation in the future!

Thinking of this, King Wen was in a good mood.There was a smile on his face.

Seeing King Wen suddenly laugh, the pure ministers glared at him with fire in their eyes.I feel that the other party is laughing at them!

Seeing these people getting more and more angry, King Wen smiled more happily.And he said proudly: "Who is the virtuous minister, you will definitely understand in the future."

"Bah!" The irritable Chunchen couldn't hold back, and spat at King Wen.

King Wen: ...

It doesn't have to be.These people were too presumptuous, and the little emperor was sitting beside him.Not afraid of spit on the little emperor!

Gu Yang shook his body, shrank his body with a look of fear, and hid behind King Wen.

Seeing this, the pure ministers were stunned.Some people stared at the irritable pure minister just now.The little emperor was frightened. If the little emperor thought they were the bad guys and lost his trust in them, how could they persuade the little emperor.

The irritable pure minister looked embarrassing and explained: "Your Majesty, the minister lost his composure just now."

As soon as he finished explaining, he was pulled behind and hid by other pure ministers.

With this example in front of them, all the pure ministers calmed down and faced the little emperor with kind smiles.I'm afraid it will scare the little emperor again.

The older pure minister spoke to the little emperor in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers are also for your majesty's benefit. I beg your majesty to listen to the faithful advice of the ministers and stay away from villains!"

Gu Yang revealed half of his face, secretly looking at them.

This appearance made the pure ministers feel complicated.

King Wen laughed lightly and told them: "If you all want to persuade Your Majesty, why don't you choose a time when the King is not around, and then come to persuade him. Now I want to tell Your Majesty a story. Don't you all have something to do?"

"Wolf ambition! Don't be complacent!" The older Chunchen, with a kind smile on his face, scolded King Wen in the most gentle voice.

Gu Yang thought the other party's appearance was quite funny.I couldn't help laughing, half of my face was exposed, and my eyes were crooked.

Seeing the little emperor smiling happily, Manager Wang also became happier.

These pure ministers are indeed very busy.When they left the Long Live Hall, they called Manager Wang out.

"If the king's palm seal is loyal to His Majesty, you should help to persuade Your Majesty to keep His Majesty away from King Wen! Come closer to us!"

Manager Wang nodded and replied: "Our family understands. We must do so! However, the stories that King Wen told are interesting, and His Majesty likes them very much. Even if our family asks to persuade, His Majesty may not be willing to listen!"

The pure ministers were silent for a while.

Isn't it just telling stories!They also tell stories to the little emperor!If you rely on storytelling, you can get the Sacred Heart and successfully persuade the little emperor.Then this thing is worth doing!

"After King Wen left the palace, Wang Zhanyin immediately sent someone to pass the news to me." Even if they don't go home tonight, they still have to tell a story that the little emperor likes!Persuade the little emperor to listen to them and stay away from King Wen!

Taifu Li knew that the group of pure officials had entered the palace, so he didn't care.Until Director Wang sent someone to tell him that after King Wen left the palace, the group of officials ran into the palace again and took turns telling stories to the little emperor.From the looks of it, I don't plan to go home today.

Carelessly stroking his beard, Li Taifu thought for a moment.It just so happened that he could use this group of people to teach the little emperor to know people's hearts!Let the little emperor get in touch with these people first, and after the little emperor has some understanding of these people, he will tell the life style of this group of people, let the little emperor understand them deeply, and have a judgment on the character and quality of these people.

The drum sounded, and there were only two quarters of an hour left before the palace gate was closed.Director Wang felt that Taifu Li would not come over, so he had to persuade these officials to leave.

"Everyone, it's getting late. After a hard day, everyone, go home and rest as soon as possible!"

No one paid attention to Mr. Wang.

These pure ministers told stories to the little emperor one by one.

Gu Yang pretended to be absent-minded, as if he was not interested in the stories they told.This made the pure ministers anxious.What kind of story can attract the little emperor?Let the little emperor like it?

Qi Erniang and Ye Dalang have already paid off.The guards of the Long Live Hall have changed.

I don't know whose stomach is hungry and makes the sound of 'gurgling'.

Gu Yang raised his hand, opened his mouth, yawned lazily, and said to Manager Wang, "I'm sleepy."

Director Wang had a reason to drive these officials away.He said to them: "Your Majesty is going to rest, and you all should go back to your residence to rest!"

The pure ministers left the Long Live Hall unwillingly.After I plan to go home, I must rummage through the study to find interesting stories and tell the little emperor tomorrow!

After they left the Long Live Hall, Gu Yang pointed to the uneaten melon and fruit snacks on the food table, and ordered the palace staff: "Give these to them."

The palace man froze for a moment.

Director Wang said: "Hurry up and do things. Pack up the things on the table and give them to the officials who just left."

Only then did the palace man quickly pack the melon and fruit snacks on the food table.

Manager Wang ordered: "This melon has to be cut up, and let the officials share it. There is also tea, and bring three or four pots. Teacups must be brought."

These pure ministers are not easy either.Knowing nothing, in order to persuade the little emperor, he took great pains.After I finished my work, I ran to tell stories, and I didn't leave until now.

On the way out of the palace, all the pure ministers were very puzzled.

"Lin's story is obviously good, why isn't His Majesty interested?"

"The story Li tells is also very good, but His Majesty doesn't like it. I don't know what stories King Wen told His Majesty."

"It's a mistake, we should check with the palm of the king first!"

"Let's inquire with the king's palm tomorrow!"

Everyone was saying this when they heard shouts behind them.

"My lords, please stay!"

Turning his head, he saw several palace men chasing them with things.The pure ministers were puzzled.

"The servants and others are ordered to give these to the adults to taste."

The pure ministers were surprised.Is this the little emperor's order?Or is it Mr. Wang's order?They think it should be the latter.If the little emperor meant it, when the little emperor was in the Long Live Hall, he would directly ask them to taste the dim sum and tea in the hall.Why do you have to wait for them to leave before letting the palace servants deliver things for them to taste?

So this must be what Manager Wang meant!In front of the little emperor, Manager Wang couldn't make the decision.So after the little emperor went to rest, he ordered the palace staff to pack the snacks and tea in the palace for them to taste!

Several people have developed a good impression of Manager Wang, and it can be seen from this incident that although Manager Wang has a certain amount of power in the harem.But he didn't dare to make random decisions in front of the little emperor, he was a person who knew how to respect and obey the rules.It seems that what Mr. Wang said is true.He did persuade the little emperor to stay away from King Wen, but the little emperor didn't listen to the advice.

Some of the pure ministers were eating melons, some were drinking tea, and some were having snacks, chatting and walking out of the palace.

From the second day on, King Wen would enter the palace every day to tell stories to the little emperor.He only left when those officials were off duty.After he left the Long Live Hall, the group of pure officials came off work and just rushed to the Long Live Hall to tell stories to the little emperor.After telling the story, when they left the Long Live Hall, they always received a pile of food.

In northern Xinjiang in September, there is a lot of wind and sand.

King Zhao stood on the tower, looking at the boundless yellow sand with unfathomable eyes.His hands were clenched into fists, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and he exuded a sinister and hostile aura, which made the people around him afraid and dare not look directly at him.

After a long time, King Zhao opened his mouth, his voice low and hoarse.

"What is the use of this king raising you trash!"

Turning around, he raised his foot and kicked the man in black.With one kick, the man in black fell to the ground.

The man in black got up, knelt and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare me! I am investigating this matter thoroughly! Someone must have betrayed His Highness and betrayed information! Otherwise, how would the Imperial Army know how to use water to put out explosives..."

The man in black is not clear about the situation in the palace.He is only responsible for defending the city.If the situation is not right, we will withdraw first.The group of imperial guards followed them with dogs and fled to the back. They had to abandon the explosives they were carrying and abandon a group of people to distract the imperial guards. Then they managed to escape and returned to northern Xinjiang to plead guilty.

King Zhao drew out his long sword and was about to kill this person.

A man appeared with a panicked expression, knelt down and proclaimed: "Your Highness, there is news from the capital that King Wen has come to court! It is said that King Wen goes to the palace every day to tell stories to the little emperor, and the little emperor obeys what King Wen says!"

The black clothes were frightened by the long sword and trembled all over, his face was pale.A lot of cold sweat broke out on my body.With a stiff face, he said: "Your Highness, Your Highness... Why, why don't we use the name of the Qing emperor to raise troops to eradicate King Wen..."

Zhao Wang's face was full of gloom, very gloomy, and he directly pierced the man's heart with his sword.

This subordinate is really stupid!Zhao Wang felt that it was such a fool who ruined his dream!His plan is flawless, as long as it is implemented according to his plan, it will definitely succeed, and there will be no failure at all!But these people still failed!Say there is a spy, if someone really betrayed him, the court has obtained evidence, and there is a reason to punish him!Already started to attack him.

But it has been a month since it happened.On the other side of the court, there was no movement at all!Everyone surrounded King Wen, and the people in the court had long forgotten that there was a King Zhao in northern Xinjiang!

Seeing this scene, the people around swallowed their saliva, and their eyes showed fear and fear.

"What's the situation in the court? There are always people who are against King Wen, right?" Zhao Wang swept away the haze, his face returned to calm, and he was completely different from the one who killed people just now without blinking an eye.

He threw the blood-stained sword on the ground and wiped his hands with a towel.

The complainant took a deep breath and replied calmly: "In the court, the Right Prime Minister is the leader, and some officials strongly oppose King Wen's coming to the court. The left and other people support King Wen's coming to the court. King Wen's opinion from the court."

"It's still reliable."

King Zhao remembered that when the late emperor was assassinated that day, several powerful ministers discussed which vassal king to choose to succeed him before his death.Zhao Youxiang proposed aloud that he should succeed him.Song Shangshu has always stood on the right side of Zhao, so he also seconded the proposal and supported King Zhao's succession.

Although King Zhao was not there at the time, his eyes and ears had inquired about what happened at that time.

Because of this matter, Zhao Wang admired Zhao Youxiang very much.

Now He Zuoxiang supports King Wen. Although King Wen did not directly usurp the throne, his ambitions are vigorous, and everyone knows it.First control the court, take an overview of the power, and coax the little emperor to give him the status of regent, so that he can hold the little emperor aboveboard in the future.On the surface, there is no usurpation of power, but in fact, the supreme power has been obtained!

Haha, that's a good calculation!

King Zhao's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently: "Those who pass the news to the capital, continue to watch King Wen and the court, and look for opportunities to remind Prime Minister You to think of me."

"Your Highness means to ask Prime Minister Right to take the initiative to invite you to Beijing?" Is this possible?

Zhao Wang looked at his subordinates coldly and told him: "Wen Wang has the support of the left faction now. As long as Wen Wang succeeds in taking power, the right faction will not be able to compete with the left faction in the future. The right minister must be very anxious at this time."

As long as this time, someone mentioned him in Zhao Youxiang's ear.Zhao Youxiang will be enlightened and write a letter to invite him to Beijing.Use him as King Zhao to fight against King Wen.

"If His Highness enters Beijing, what will happen to Northern Xinjiang?"

"This king has been here for more than ten years, it's enough!"

So what if he got the military power?Staying in northern Xinjiang, away from the political center, everyone has ignored him.King Zhao is over 40 years old. He has been planning painstakingly for more than ten years, but finally failed.How many more than ten years in his life can he make another plan?

The failure this time made King Zhao feel manic and anxious.He must seize this opportunity, Zhao Youxiang invited him to the capital to defeat King Wen!

Seeing that King Zhao had made up his mind, no one dared to persuade him.He can only obey the orders of King Zhao.
