Little emperor

Chapter 8

After taking Manager Wang's words to heart, Queen Mother Ning made a change and tried to get closer to Gu Yang.But this little evil star didn't give her any face.She cried as soon as she hugged her, which made the nannies nervous and terrified, thinking that she had done something to the little evil star.

Empress Dowager Ning simply drove those nannies out.

"Give Aijia out!"

Seeing the little emperor crying non-stop, the nurses were really worried, so they sent a message to the little table to inform Manager Wang.

Gu Yang didn't know why Empress Dowager Ning suddenly became enlightened, and only now remembered to cultivate a mother-child relationship with him.He really dislikes the other party and doesn't want to get close to the other party.

"Don't cry! I'm your mother, you have to listen to me in the future!" Empress Dowager Ning was extremely irritable and wanted to throw away the child in her arms.But Manager Wang's words are really reasonable, she must develop a relationship with the little evil star.

Little Fiend is three months old.Not at all close to her.Wouldn't it be more difficult for him to cultivate feelings when he gradually became a governor?Fortunately, it's not too late now, she has to change Little Fiend's attitude towards her!Let him start getting close to her!

Although the emperor chose six Ministers Gu Ming, but these six people are not of one mind.Liu Shangshu of the household department obeyed He Zuoxiang's words and belonged to the Zuoxiang faction.Song Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials obeyed Zhao Youxiang's words and belonged to the right-handed sect.Li Taifu and Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of War belonged to the same faction.

Director Wang is thinking about which faction to start with and arrange for people to enter the court.

The little table ran in anxiously and told him: "Godfather! Go to Changle Palace! The empress dowager drove everyone out, and there were only her and His Majesty in the room. I don't know what to do to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been crying all the time!"

Hearing this, Manager Wang frowned.He stood up and walked out.

When I came to Changle Palace, I saw a group of palace people standing in the courtyard, and there was constant crying in the room.Director Wang walked up the steps and pushed the door open.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Dowager Ning was taken aback, she quickly straightened her clothes and put Gu Yang down.

Director Wang ignored her, first checked the little emperor's dragon body, and he was relieved to make sure that the little emperor was fine.He coaxed softly: "Your Majesty, the old slave is here."

Seeing Mr. Wang was like seeing a relative, Gu Yang immediately felt safe.He stopped crying, and looked at Manager Wang with aggrieved eyes.

Manager Wang was very distressed, and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe his tears.

After tidying up her clothes with her back facing them, Queen Mother Ning turned around and explained to Director Wang: "The Ai family is cultivating a mother-child relationship with His Majesty."

Manager Wang raised his eyes to look at her, and said indifferently: "I understand. It's just that the Empress Dowager's move scared His Majesty to tears, and made the palace people talk about it. This matter must be carried out step by step, and there is no rush. Your Majesty is still young, and the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have nothing to do with each other. Your Majesty has many opportunities to cultivate feelings. Take your time, there is no rush."

Empress Dowager Ning pulled her handkerchief and looked outside the door, there were indeed many palace people watching the fun outside.Knowing that Mr. Wang said these words for her consideration, she nodded and said in a low voice: "The Ai family knows. It will take its time."

Today, because of Xiao Xixing's urgency, she will forcibly cultivate a mother-child relationship with him.What Director Wang said was that the little villain is still young, so there are many opportunities to develop a relationship with him!Really can't worry.

Director Wang carried the little emperor out of the house, and said to the palace people outside: "Don't you all need to do anything?"

Seeing this, the palace people dispersed one after another.

Manager Wang winked at the small table and asked him to stand guard at the door.He carried the little emperor back to the house.He opened his mouth and said to Empress Dowager Ning: "Your Majesty, this old slave has caught nine people with problems recently. These people either tampered with the clothes of Qian Momo and others, or tampered with their diet. It looks calm, but it is actually dangerous. Please pay attention to the empress dowager."

After hearing this, Queen Mother Ning was taken aback and felt terrified.Asked with a stiff face: "You mean, someone wants to murder His Majesty?"

Director Wang nodded solemnly: "Nurse Qian and others are responsible for taking care of His Majesty, and those thieves will use them to murder His Majesty. The Empress Dowager is so close to Her Majesty suddenly, it will definitely attract attention, and let the thieves set their sights on the Empress Dowager. If the thief smears poisonous powder on the clothes of the empress dowager, the empress dowager will get close to her majesty without knowing it. If something happens to your majesty, the empress dowager will have nothing to do with it."

This little evil star really beats the people around him, whoever gets close to him will be unlucky!

Empress Dowager Ning's face turned pale, and the fingers holding the handkerchief trembled slightly.She asked Manager Wang in a panic: "Then, does the Ai family still want to get close to His Majesty?"

Manager Wang replied: "The empress dowager naturally wants to get close to your majesty, but don't touch your majesty directly, just stay by his side and let your majesty know you well."

"The Ai family understands." This is exactly what Empress Dowager Ning wanted.She didn't want to touch Gu Yang anyway.

Gu Yang smiled brightly at Manager Wang.Seeing this innocent and lovely smiling face, Director Wang really wanted to kiss the little emperor's cheek.Due to the presence of Queen Mother Ning, he restrained himself.

Although he was reluctant to be separated from the little emperor, but he really had too many things to be busy with. Director Wang said to Queen Mother Ning: "This old slave still has a lot of things to deal with, so I won't bother the Queen Mother and Your Majesty."

Empress Dowager Ning nodded and reminded him: "Don't forget about that!"

"Old slave understands." Manager Wang nodded.

Then he called Mother Qian and the others in, handed over the little emperor to them, and emphasized again: "Take good care of Your Majesty!"

Qian Momo and the others nodded heavily.

After Manager Wang left, Empress Dowager Ning was really worried, so she called the imperial physician over and asked the imperial physician to check her clothes.After confirming that her clothes have not been poisoned by someone, she is relieved.But this incident gave her too much shock, and she felt that she should be more careful in the future.In order to avoid being used by others, I don't know what's going on.

Half a month later, Director Wang took time out to meet Ning Daquan in the palace.

Ning Daquan was excited all night and did not sleep.I thought that after dawn, I could see people.

Unexpectedly, after waiting all morning, the other party still hadn't appeared.Ning Daquan became irritable and lost his patience.He began to scold his wife: "Did you hear me wrong? You unlucky woman missed my important event!"

He picked up the broom and was about to beat his wife.A person appeared at the door.

"Excuse me, is the owner here?"

Ning Daquan threw down the broom and hurried over to answer the other party: "I am the head of the Ning family! Did the Queen Mother send you here?"

Fang Yao replied: "Someone asked you to meet at the small restaurant in Shisan Alley, east of the city."

Ning Daquan felt that it must be the arrangement of Queen Mother Ning, so he went out immediately.

After running for half an hour, they finally came to Shisan Alley in the east of the city.

After finding the small restaurant, Ning Daquan walked in.

"Sister, here I come!" He shouted happily.

The owner of the restaurant led him into the backyard.

Ning Daquan didn't see Queen Mother Ning, only Director Wang frowned and asked, "Who are you? Where is my sister?"

Director Wang smiled and bowed to him: "Uncle Guo. This old slave is in the hands of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. It is inconvenient for the Empress Dowager to leave the palace, so she sent this old slave to meet Uncle Guo."

Hearing that this was a eunuch, Ning Daquan immediately looked contemptuously, and asked unhappily, "Why didn't the empress dowager let me directly into the palace?"

Manager Wang explained: "Because there are so many eyeliners in the palace. Several ministers who are in charge of life do not want the uncle to contact the empress dowager. Therefore, the empress dowager can only contact the uncle secretly. The empress dowager has a lot of things to tell the old slave to Uncle Guo, please sit down, this old slave will speak slowly."

Ning Daquan sat down, and Mr. Wang bent down to pour wine for him.Start to paraphrase Empress Dowager Ning's words.

After listening, Ning Daquan said displeasedly: "So she is the queen mother now, but she still has to act according to other people's faces? So what if she doesn't listen to those ministers who care about life? What can they do to her?"

Director Wang's eyes were deep, and he didn't expect that Ning Daquan knew a lot.It seems that during the national funeral, those counselors taught Ning Daquan a lot.

Director Wang lowered his head and silently poured wine for Ning Daquan without replying.

Ning Daquan stared at him, and suddenly asked, "Where are the things?"

Director Wang was puzzled, looked up at him, and asked in puzzlement, "I don't know what Uncle Guo wants?"

"Stop pretending not to understand! The Empress Dowager sent you out of the palace to meet me, she must have given you something good to bring to me! Did you take it for yourself!" Ning Daquan patted the table hard.

Director Wang paused, shook his head and said, "It's true that the Empress Dowager didn't give the old slave anything."

"How dare you lie to me! When I see the queen mother, she will punish you severely!" Ning Daquan didn't believe it.Empress Dowager Ning was able to spend thousands of taels of silver to repay her natal family's debts, so she must have given the money to the eunuch to take it out of the palace and hand it over to him.Ning Daquan thinks that Manager Wang embezzled the money and refused to give it to him!

I haven't seen such a scoundrel for many years. Mr. Wang laughed angrily, stood up and told Ning Daquan: "Although the Empress Dowager has a salary, the salary is paid on a yearly basis. You will only get it in the next year. Last month, I worked for the Ning family. The one who pays the debt is the old slave. The old slave is loyal to the Empress Dowager and knows that the Ning family is in trouble, so he will take out the money from his own pocket to pay off the debt for the Ning family. Unexpectedly, he was misunderstood by the uncle."

Ning Daquan couldn't believe it.This eunuch is so rich?He suddenly asked: "Just now you said that you are the supervisor of ceremonies?"

"The palm seal of the supervisor of ceremonies." Director Wang looked down at him condescendingly.

Ning Daquan was astonished, and the supervisor of ceremonies signed it!This is the eunuch in charge of keeping the Jade Seal of Chuanguo!With the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, you can promulgate any imperial edict you want!

Changing his previous attitude, Ning Daquan quickly poured a glass of wine, stood up and handed it to Director Wang, and said flatteringly with a smile: "It turns out that it is the handprint of the Supervisor of Ceremonies! I have offended you so much just now, I am really sorry! Please don't take it to heart, Eunuch! "

Director Wang smiled faintly, took the wine glass, and said to him: "Uncle Guo is the elder brother of the Empress Dowager, and this old slave is loyal to the Empress Dowager. We are our own people, so why should we see outsiders?"

Seeing that the eunuch was not angry, Ning Daquan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Since the prince has the jade seal of the Chuan Kingdom in his hand, why not write an imperial decree and let me be the commander of the imperial army."

What a big face!Such a greedy person is not afraid of being full!

Director Wang said with a half-hearted smile, "I want to help Uncle Guo, but I can't help you with this matter."

Ning Daquan said dissatisfiedly: "You have the jade seal of Chuanguo in your hand. As long as I stamp the imperial decree, I can become the commander of the imperial army! Why can't you help? Don't you want to help?"

Shaking his head, Manager Wang told him: "When it comes to military power, you need to take out the tiger talisman before you can give orders. The old slave doesn't have a tiger talisman in his hand."

Ning Daquan was stunned, but the staff had never told him about it.He asked: "Who has the tiger talisman?"

Manager Wang shook his head again: "When the late emperor was around, the tiger talisman was always in the hands of the late emperor. The late emperor was assassinated and died in a hurry, without explaining about the tiger talisman. Therefore, this old slave does not know where the tiger talisman is."

Manager Wang has served the late emperor for so many years, so of course he knows where the tiger talisman is.But he won't tell anyone about it.He will keep those tiger charms for the little emperor.After the little emperor takes power in the future, hand over the tiger amulet to him.

"How is it possible!" Ning Daquan was amazed, he couldn't believe that such a big matter would not be explained clearly when the first emperor died.

Manager Wang sighed, and said seriously: "When the first emperor was escorted back to the palace, his five internal organs were already poisoned, and even the successor was selected by the six ministers who took care of his life. If His Majesty hadn't been born in time, this country would not know how to deal with it." It was in the hands of which vassal king. Afterwards, several ministers discussed which concubine to choose to raise His Majesty. After deciding who to raise, the former emperor died without clearly naming His Majesty. Indeed, there was no explanation. About the Tiger Talisman."

General Ning Daquan was skeptical, and asked irritably: "Then how can I become the commander of the Imperial Army?"

Director Wang asked curiously, "Why does Uncle Guo insist on being the commander of the imperial army? Although the commander of the imperial army has a high position, his political power is not as good as that of civil servants."

Of course it is because being the commander of the imperial army can control the 30 imperial troops in the capital.This is real military power!Much better than those civil servants!Otherwise, why did the emperors of all dynasties always hold the military power in their hands, and did not allow civil servants to touch the military power?

After he is in charge of 30 forbidden troops, with such great military power, will those civil servants still dare to despise the Ning family?At that time, Empress Dowager Ning will be able to speak and discuss politics in the court!And as the elder brother of Empress Dowager Ning, he can advise her behind the scenes!

These thoughts, Ning Daquan will not tell Manager Wang.Even if this eunuch is willing to serve Queen Mother Ning, he is an outsider after all.It can be used, but you can't trust it completely, you still have to be on guard.

Ning Daquan laughed awkwardly, and responded: "I thought that if I became the commander of the imperial army, I would be able to meet the queen mother often. That's why I want this official position."

Why don't you castrate yourself and send yourself to the palace, so that you brothers and sisters can stay together in the palace.

Director Wang chuckled, not believing Ning Daquan's words at all.He said slowly: "The Forbidden Army only obeys His Majesty's orders. And the commander of the Forbidden Army is directly appointed by His Majesty. This old slave really can't help."

Ning Daquan changed his words and asked, "When can I see the Queen Mother?"

Knowing that this person doesn't trust him, he wants to skip him and meet Queen Mother Ning.Director Wang told Ning Daquan: "Uncle Guo insists on meeting the Queen Mother, but there is a way. It's just that Uncle Guo needs to be wronged."

"Hurry up! What method?" Ning Daquan asked excitedly.

Manager Wang said: "Pretend as an eunuch and follow this old slave into the palace."

Ning Daquan doesn't trust Director Wang, but Queen Mother Ning does.After the two brothers and sisters finished talking, Empress Dowager Ning would definitely ask him for his opinion.At that time, Director Wang will naturally know what Ning Daquan said to Queen Mother Ning.It doesn't hurt to let these two meet.

Ning Daquan felt a little humiliated, and his face darkened.He asked: "Is there no other way? I can't enter the palace openly?"

Director Wang shook his head and explained: "I'm telling the truth. Several Gu Ming ministers told the old slave not to let the uncle enter the palace to meet the queen mother. The old slave can't offend them, and he wants to be loyal to the queen mother, so he can only secretly Let me inform you. Uncle Guo has no official position now, and he has no power in his hands. It is easy for those ministers to deal with Uncle Guo. It is better to keep a low profile, and don’t let them find out.”

Ning Daquan sneered, and cursed in a low voice: "Those old guys are so guarded against our Ning family, afraid that our Ning family will interfere in politics. When I take power in the future, I must drive them out of the court! Let them regret it!"

"How do uncle Guo think about it? Do you want to pretend to be an eunuch and accompany the old slave into the palace to meet the queen mother?" Manager Wang asked him.

For the sake of big things, Ning Daquan felt that he could bear to be wronged for a while.He nodded and said, "Okay! I will pretend to be an eunuch and follow you into the palace!"

Director Wang asked the accompanying eunuch to change clothes with Ning Daquan and took him into the palace.

Today, the little table was in the palace to help Director Wang to keep an eye on the affairs of the palace. Hearing that Director Wang was back, he ran to Changle Palace to meet him.

Gu Yang was turning over, and Empress Dowager Ning sat aside and looked at him absent-mindedly.I don't know if Director Wang has seen her elder brother, and how the conversation with her elder brother is going.

"The Empress Dowager."

Suddenly, Director Wang's voice came from the door.Empress Dowager Ning regained her senses and turned her head to look over.

"Grandpa Wang is back!" She happily stood up and walked over, eager to ask about the situation.

When Ning Daquan heard her voice, he couldn't help raising his head.

Seeing him, Empress Dowager Ning was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help calling in a low voice: "Brother!"

Director Wang coughed, glanced at Nanny Qian and the others, and reminded Empress Dowager Ning that someone else was present.

Empress Dowager Ning was in a happy mood, and said to Manager Wang and Ning Daquan: "Come with Ai's family!"

Manager Wang said: "Let Xiao Quanzi go over and talk to the Empress Dowager, and the old servant will stay here with His Majesty."

Empress Dowager Ning and Ning Daquan are very satisfied with his knowledge.The siblings went to the main hall to talk.

Director Wang walked into the room and asked Nanny Qian and others to leave. He smiled and hugged the little emperor.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. Does Your Majesty miss this old slave?"

Gu Yang smiled and waved to him.

Manager Wang kissed him on the cheek, and gently chatted with the little emperor about what he did today.

When alone with the little emperor, Manager Wang will take off his disguise.It doesn't matter whether the little emperor can understand what he said.Tell the little emperor carefully everything he did.

Gu Yang didn't expect that this Ning Daquan lion would open his mouth and want the position of the commander of the imperial army.This man is ambitious!

After scolding Ning Daquan with a 'babble', Gu Yang grabbed Manager Wang's hand.Eunuch Wang, you can't help Ning Daquan!Let him be the commander of the imperial army!Foreign relatives got military power,

Every time he stays with the little emperor, Manager Wang feels very at ease.Seeing the little emperor grabbing his hand, Manager Wang said with a smile: "Don't worry. This old slave will definitely not allow the Ning family to gain military power. The old slave will keep the tiger amulet left by the former emperor to His Majesty. When His Majesty is in charge in the future, Leave it to His Majesty."

Gu Yang was happy, it was still Wang Gonggong who treated him well!

On the other side, Empress Dowager Ning brought Ning Daquan to the back of the main hall, ordered the palace people to retreat, closed the door, and the two brothers and sisters embraced excitedly.

"Sister! I've seen you! I haven't seen you for a few years, how are you doing in the palace?" Ning Daquan pinched himself secretly, forcing himself to cry.

"Brother! How is the family doing now? Is father okay?" Queen Mother Ning let him go, and seeing Ning Daquan crying, her emotions rose for a while, and her eyes turned red.

Ning Daquan choked up and said: "Three years ago, my father died... I asked someone to send a message to enter the palace. Didn't you receive the news?"

Empress Dowager Ning shook her head, tears burst into tears, and she began to sob.

"Since you entered the palace, I have been entrusting the maids who have been out of the palace to help you send news. Have you never received any news?" Ning Daquan asked her.In fact, in the past few years, he didn't care about this sister at all.If this sister hadn't suddenly become the queen mother, he wouldn't have valued her so much.

"No... I have never heard from my family... Brother, how are you doing recently? I heard that you were locked up before? Did they beat you?" Empress Dowager Ning wiped her tears and let Ning Daquan sat down and talked.

After the brothers and sisters sat down, Ning Daquan said angrily, "They didn't beat me. But they scared away the staff I hired! Now there is no one around me who is willing to give me advice. Sister, I must be Commander of the Forbidden Army! Only in this way can we protect you!"

Empress Dowager Ning was stunned, and asked in a low voice: "But those bad old men won't listen to me, they don't allow me to discuss political affairs in court. How can I help you?"

Ning Daquan told her: "Sister, you are the empress dowager now! You are the most honorable woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty! You are the empress dowager conferred by the previous emperor, even the emperor can't touch you! No matter what you do, it's not your turn." A few ministers who care about you are in charge of you! You raised the little emperor, and now you are listening to the government behind the curtain. You can participate in the government and discuss political affairs. This is the power given to you by the previous emperor! They bully you for not knowing these things, so you are not allowed in the court Open your mouth. It's too deceiving!"

I really suffered from being uneducated!That's why he was bullied like this!

The hand that wiped the tears paused for a moment, Empress Dowager Ning suddenly burst into anger, gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Those bad old men are really too much! They treat Aijia like this! Bullying Aijia has never been educated! They don't understand these things matter!"

Ning Daquan continued to give her popular science, telling her how much power the queen mother has and what she can do with the little emperor.

Empress Dowager Ning listened so earnestly that she forgot to wipe away her tears.

Manager Wang played with the little emperor for half an hour, seeing that the little emperor was tired from playing, he gently hugged the little emperor to the couch and coaxed him to sleep.

After the little emperor fell asleep, he stood up and straightened his hat, intending to go and take Ning Daquan away.
