Little emperor

Chapter 87

"My lord, there's news from Changning Palace. The Empress Dowager wants to celebrate the festival with Her Majesty."

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the imperial court is already on holiday.People are also preparing for the festival.

Empress Dowager Ning no longer has any relatives, and she only has the child of the little emperor under her name.In the festival of reunion of thousands of families, she doesn't want to be alone and unaccompanied.

Since she was a child, she has been asking people to contact the small table, hoping that the small table will convey her thoughts to Manager Wang.The small table dragged on until this day before mentioning this matter to Mr. Wang.

Manager Wang was accompanying the little emperor to draw a picture. Since the little emperor came back from the palace to watch the paper-cutting, he suddenly picked up a pen and paper and started to learn how to draw.This surprised everyone, thinking that the little emperor is a genius!The little emperor is not used to ordinary writing brushes, so Mr. Wang specially asked people to make a lot of brushes according to the little emperor's little hands!

Hearing this, Manager Wang glanced at the small table.Then he looked at the little emperor.

The movement of painting paused for a moment, Gu Yang looked up at the small table, and said aloud: "If the queen mother is in good health, then let her come and celebrate the festival with me!"

For some reason, the little emperor seemed to have no intention of getting close to Queen Mother Ning by nature.Whether it was when he was a baby, or when he escaped from the palace last time, he knew that the woman was the queen mother and his mother in name, but the little emperor didn't want to understand the meaning of getting close at all.

This made the little table curious.He guessed whether it was because Manager Wang had told the little emperor about the stupid things Empress Dowager Ning had done before.Tell the little emperor to stay away from Queen Mother Ning and not to approach her.That's why the little emperor didn't like Queen Mother Ning very much.

"Since Your Majesty wants to celebrate the festival with the Empress Dowager, the old slave will ask the imperial physician to heal the Empress Dowager." Director Wang responded to the little emperor with a smile, his face as gentle as ever.

Turning his head, Director Wang stared at the small table indifferently, and said: "Let the imperial doctor go and treat the empress dowager with all his heart, and he must heal the empress dowager well. We must not delay the reunion of the empress dowager with Her Majesty's mother and son for the holiday."

The little table's expression froze slightly, knowing that Director Wang was dissatisfied with him mentioning this matter in front of the little emperor.He nodded embarrassingly and replied: "Xiao Nu understands."

Ye Silang and the others are expecting Qi Erniang to return home.

Ye Wulang asked Commander Ye curiously: "Tomorrow will be a holiday, father, mother should be back?"

Ye Dalang, Ye Erlang, and Ye Sanlang were silent.They already knew about Qi Erniang guarding northern Xinjiang.Presumably, after the Chinese New Year, news from Northern Xinjiang will reach the capital.At that time, the imperial court and the people will definitely meet and discuss.At that time, not only Qi Erniang herself, but also the Qi family and Ye family, as well as the little emperor and Chief Manager Wang all had to face a lot of pressure!

Commander Ye reached out and touched his youngest son's head, and replied with a light smile: "Your mother is working outside, so she won't come back to celebrate the New Year with us this year."

Hearing this, Ye Silang and Ye Wulang's faces suddenly collapsed.The eyes that were originally shining suddenly became very dim.

Ye Erlang put his arms around his two younger brothers and took them to play.

Ye Dalang sighed, and asked his father: "If the news about mother spreads, what should I do?"

"Those ministers can only advise on your mother's matter. As long as His Majesty does not change his will, what can they do?" Commander Ye was already mentally prepared.

Seeing his father's reaction, Ye Dalang stopped talking about it.

On New Year's Eve, Empress Dowager Ning finally stepped out of Changle Palace.

Seeing Gu Yang again, she stared at him closely, and wanted to get close to this child, but she was afraid of displeasing Mr. Wang, so she was more reserved.

"The queen mother's clothes are very beautiful."

Gu Yang suddenly praised, which flattered Queen Mother Ning.She hurriedly said: "This is made by the Ai family. The Ai family also made some clothes for His Majesty. If Your Majesty does not dislike it, someone from the Ai family can bring it over. Your Majesty will try it?"

When she said this, Queen Mother Ning looked at Director Wang cautiously.

As soon as Empress Dowager Ning appeared, Manager Wang and others had already discovered that the clothes she was wearing were quite special.Just too lazy to talk about her clothes.Now that the little emperor's attention was on Empress Dowager Ning, Director Wang naturally wanted to say a few words.

"Since the Empress Dowager has made clothes for His Majesty, let someone send them to the Long Live Palace. Our family will let His Majesty try them later."

Empress Dowager Ning looked happy.This is a sense of accomplishment recognized by others, which makes her feel satisfied and joyful.

The palace people took turns performing the show until the drums of Zishi sounded.

The dark night sky suddenly lit up with colorful lights.There is only the sound of music in the palace, but the sound of orbs resounds in front of every house outside the palace.

"Ouch! Look quickly! There is a colorful light in the direction of the palace!"

"This is auspicious!"

"I heard that colored light appeared in Mozhou some time ago! The colored light is in the shape of a few words—a change of heaven and earth!"

"I've heard about this too! Now there are colorful lights in the palace. Could it be that the heavens are telling the world that His Majesty is the one who changed the world? In the future, His Majesty's achievements may surpass that of Emperor Wen?"

"It must be so! Hurry up and worship! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

I don't know who took the lead, but someone saluted in the direction of the palace.Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Gu Yang didn't know these things.Seeing the colorful lights appear, he specifically asked Director Wang: "Is this arranged by the Ministry of Industry?"

Director Wang smiled and nodded: "Exactly."

This was specially arranged by Director Wang for the officials of the Ministry of Industry!In order to increase the prestige of the little emperor and make the people love the little emperor even more!

Gu Yang also guessed what Manager Wang was thinking, and was moved by his loyalty again.Everything Manager Wang did was for his consideration as the emperor.

This was the first time Empress Dowager Ning saw such a brilliant color light, she was fascinated by it.After being locked up in Changle Palace for so long, everything I saw was new and interesting.

Director Wang made a gesture to make the palace people back down. He coughed and stared at Queen Mother Ning.

Empress Dowager Ning suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Director Wang in a panic, and found that everyone had left.She asked uncomfortably, "The Ai family also retreated?"

Director Wang reminded her lightly: "At the beginning of the new year, Your Majesty is one year older."

Only then did Queen Mother Ning realize that she quickly took out her gift and gave it to Gu Yang.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family has nothing good to offer. This is the jade that the Ai family picked up when they left the palace last time. It can be carved into a jade pendant. The color is good. The Ai family wishes your Majesty good health and a long life, long live long live long live!"

After returning to the palace, although Empress Dowager Ning had good food and clothing, Manager Wang did not give her any money.She really doesn't have much private money, and she accidentally picked up this piece of jade when Gong Bian escaped last time.At that time, she thought that if Mr. Wang and the little emperor were unreliable, then she would sneak away and live on this piece of jade in exchange for some money.Isn't this a safe passage through the catastrophe!After returning to the palace, she resumed her life of rich clothes and jade food. It is useless for Empress Dowager Ning to keep this piece of jade. It is better to give it to the little emperor, sell it for a good price, and increase the bond between mother and child!

Frowning, Manager Wang stared at the jade with disgust.

After staying in the palace for so long, Manager Wang has seen many rare treasures.Empress Dowager Ning had the nerve to give this piece of unpolished jade to the little emperor.

If I had known earlier, it would be better to prepare a gift in advance and let Empress Dowager Ning give it to the little emperor!

Gu Yang felt that this stone was very special.He stood up and walked over to pick up the jade.

As soon as the jade was in his hand, Gu Yang trembled all over.

"His Majesty!"

Director Wang didn't like it, so he quickly hugged the little emperor, and slashed the eyes of Queen Ning.

Seeing Gu Yang's pale face and abnormal appearance, Empress Dowager Ning also panicked, and quickly explained: "This... Aijia doesn't know! Aijia didn't murder His Majesty!"

"Eunuch Wang, I... I feel so hot..." Gu Yang felt a surge of heat all over his body, which made him almost unbearable.

"Prince Physician! Send it to the Physician!" Manager Wang's face changed drastically, and he shouted in a sharp voice.

The people in the Long Live Hall panicked and hurried to call the imperial physician over.

Gu Yang felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, but Mr. Wang touched his body and felt that his body temperature was normal.

Being hugged by Manager Wang like this made Gu Yang very uncomfortable.He stretched out his hand and pushed Manager Wang away.

Usually, with his little strength, he couldn't push people away at all.But this time, he easily pushed Manager Wang away.

Manager Wang fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment.The small table and the others looked shocked.

"Your Majesty actually has such power to overthrow the prince..."

Seeing Manager Wang being pushed down by himself, Gu Yang felt guilty, and stretched out his hand to pull Manager Wang up.This pull directly pulled Manager Wang up.Shocked everyone again.

Even Gu Yang noticed something was wrong.How could his strength suddenly become so great?

Gu Yang tried to lift the food table, but he immediately lifted the food table above his head.

"My lord, I..."

Manager Wang stared at the little emperor with piercing eyes, suspecting that the piece of jade had some kind of supernatural power, which was absorbed by the little emperor, and now the little emperor has become extremely powerful!

Gu Yang felt incredible. He tried to lift many things, and every heavy object could be lifted easily.

The heat in the body gradually disappeared.Gu Yang felt less uncomfortable.He put down his things, walked up to Mr. Wang, looked down at his little hands, and whispered, "My strength has grown stronger..."

Manager Wang asked with concern: "Is Your Majesty still feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Yang shook his head and looked up at him.

Director Wang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining divine power!"

Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Ma and the others said winkingly, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for obtaining divine power!"

Gu Yang felt that this matter was too mysterious.But when he thought that he had come to this world with the memories of his previous life, and that such a strange thing happened to him, it didn't seem so unbelievable.

When the imperial physician came to check on Gu Yang and made sure that he had no problems, Director Wang was relieved.

Manager Wang was very excited, and ordered the small table: "Go out of the palace immediately and spread the news, and spread the news about His Majesty's acquisition of divine power, so that everyone in the world will know."

This will definitely become a good story, and let the people treat the little emperor like a god!

"Yes!" The little table was also very excited.After all, having witnessed what happened tonight with his own eyes, his attitude towards the little emperor became even more respectful.Looking at the eyes of the little emperor, it was like looking at a fairy.

"Eunuch Wang, Aijia..." After confirming that Gu Yang was fine, Empress Dowager Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately moved to Mr. Wang's side, hoping that Mr. Wang would give her some rewards.After all, this piece of jade was given to the little emperor by her.The little emperor touched the jade and gained divine power. This is due to her!

Director Wang saw through Empress Dowager Ning's thoughts at a glance, and reminded in a low voice: "Man is doing what God is doing, and God is watching. What did the Empress Dowager do to Her Majesty, do you need our family to recall it?"

Empress Dowager Ning's face froze.She really hated Gu Yang before, after all, this child killed his biological parents as soon as he was born.Before, she thought it was an evil star.But I didn't expect that this child's life was really tough, and he survived so many storms, like the darling of heaven, sitting firmly on the throne.

Director Wang went on to say: "This jade was discovered outside the palace. It is obviously a treasure bestowed by God to His Majesty. The Empress Dowager hid it privately and gave it to Your Majesty now. What is the intention?"

Empress Dowager Ning turned pale with fright, and explained in a panic: "Aijia... Aijia thought it was an ordinary jade, who knew it was a piece of jade with divine power."

Empress Dowager Ning didn't feel the jade stone in her hands for so long.But as soon as Gu Yang touched the jade, he got a magical power.It seems that this jade was indeed given to Gu Yang by heaven.

Manager Wang said indifferently: "It's the Spring Festival, our family doesn't care about the crime of empress dowager's hiding. The empress dowager can do it for herself."

Empress Dowager Ning thanked gratefully: "Thank you, Eunuch Wang!"

Worried about the little emperor's strange reaction at night, Director Wang personally guarded the bedroom.

Luo San searched for more than a month, but he found the prefect of Qingzhou.After some interrogation, the other party was secretly escorted back to the capital.Go back to the palace through the secret road and secretly meet the little emperor.

In the Long Live Hall, there is also a secret way.It's in the bedroom.

Luo San didn't know that Director Wang was resting in the dormitory and when he opened the secret passage, there was a commotion.Director Wang was awakened directly.

"Who!"

Hearing Mr. Wang's voice, Luo San immediately raised his heart, and quickly thought about how to deal with Mr. Wang.

"Wang Gonggong, it's a humble job..."

"Guard Luo?" Recognizing Luo San's voice, Director Wang was both happy and annoyed.

Entering the inner room with Ye Mingzhu, Director Wang saw the other party.The small eyes stared coldly at Luo San, and asked in a low voice, "Where have you been these days?"

Luo San glanced at the dragon's couch, and replied to Manager Wang: "The humble officer went to arrest the prefect of Qingzhou. He has already captured him and brought him back to the capital. This is his confession."

With that said, Luo San took out a statement and handed it to Manager Wang.

Director Wang made a gesture to ask Luo San to speak outside.

Luo San had no choice but to go out with Manager Wang.Tell Manager Wang what he did during this period of time.

"According to the instructions of the gods, I caught Zhao Wang Shizi. But when he arrived in the capital, he died of poisoning, and I can only do the next thing. Track down the whereabouts of the prefect of Qingzhou."

Chief Manager Wang was skeptical and asked, "How do you know the secret way in the palace?"

Except for the emperor and the palm print eunuch, no one else would know the secret way in this palace so clearly.

"It was the gods who told me..." Luo San replied calmly to Manager Wang.

Manager Wang had no doubts, and continued to ask: "What else did the god tell you to do? Did he mention His Majesty?"

Luo San shook his head: "It's been a long time since the gods have dreamed of humble jobs..."

Manager Wang: ...

After collecting this confession, Manager Wang told Luo San: "Bring the prefect of Qingzhou here, and our family will send another person to protect him."

"Yes."

Thinking of something, Manager Wang asked again: "Why did you come directly to His Majesty's bedroom?"

Luo San explained: "Because I have a confession from the prefect of Qingzhou on my body, if I enter the palace through the gate, I will be searched. Therefore, I can only come here through secret passages. But there are many secret passages in this palace, and I don't know where I have come. Wow, I came to His Majesty's bedroom unintentionally, and please forgive me, Chief Wang!"

Director Wang waved to him thoughtfully, telling him to rest.

After Luo San left, Director Wang called a few guards and asked them to watch Luo San secretly.

Back in the bedroom, Manager Wang didn't continue to rest, he kept thinking about the situation in the court.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the capital was extremely lively.Three things are hotly debated among the public.The colorful light from the palace last night, and the matter of the little emperor getting divine power, and the matter of Qi Erniang becoming a general to manage the army in northern Xinjiang.

Regarding the first two matters, Taifu Li and the others could still sit still and did not rush into the palace to find out the situation.But after hearing about Qi Erniang's affairs, the few assistant ministers could not sit still.He ran directly into the palace and questioned why a woman was allowed to lead the army!

Manager Wang thought it was really bad luck. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, these ministers ran into the palace to question the military power.With a cold face, he directly took out the confession of Qingzhou prefect, and questioned Song Shangshu: "I don't know how Song Shangshu explained it?"

Song Shangshu, who was upright and confident, followed into the palace to question the military power, suddenly panicked and turned to look at Zhao Youxiang.

Zhao Youxiang's face was sullen, expressionless.

He Zuoxiang and Liu Shangshu were overjoyed. The two talked to each other, their lips were like knives, and they forced Zhao Youxiang and Song Shangshu to plead guilty.

Zhou Shangshu and Li Taifu stood aside and watched the play silently.

"Song Shangshu doesn't know? What a joke! Wang Zhangyin said that Zhu Youde not only has a statement, but also evidence of correspondence with you!"

Song Shang responded blankly in writing: "Song doesn't know about this! Maybe someone imitated Song's handwriting and deliberately framed Song!"

Gu Yang was fully dressed, and when he came to the front hall, he saw these ministers coming and arguing.

He asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

Director Wang came to his side and told Gu Yang about the matter in a few words.

Gu Yang was surprised, Luo San came back?The prefect of Qingzhou was also arrested and the evidence was obtained.Qingzhou prefect's thigh in the court is Song Shangshu, Zhao Youxiang?

Gu Yang thought about it carefully.Zhao Youxiang seems to have always been relatively rich.In terms of gifts, Zhao Youxiang and Song Shangshu gave him more valuable gifts.Compared with them, He Zuoxiang, Li Taifu and others gave much simpler gifts, especially He Zuoxiang, every time they gave gifts, they were worthless, and they were very perfunctory at first glance.

Seeing the little emperor staring at him suspiciously, Zhao Youxiang felt uneasy, and immediately knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty! I don't know about this! Although Song Shangshu is close to me, what he did , I don’t know! Your Majesty, please trust me!”

Zhao Youxiang also planned to make a marriage proposal with the little emperor when he was a few years older.The little emperor is so beautiful, if his granddaughter marries the little emperor, the child born will definitely inherit the little emperor's looks!Now he can't fall down!You can't be suspected by the little emperor!

Song Shangshu also knelt down and said to Gu Yang: "Your Majesty! I have been wronged! I don't know Zhu Youde at all! This Zhu Youde must have been used by others! He intentionally bit me! I beg your majesty to investigate clearly! Return my innocence." !"

He Zuoxiang sneered and said: "Song Shangshu has always been the right-hand man of the right minister. He is more loyal to the right minister than to his majesty. Now that Song Shangshu has something to do with Zhu Youde's case, the right minister began to abandon the car to protect the commander-in-chief. Do you think I am a fool? How can you be fooled!"

Liu Shangshu followed suit and said: "Yes! Zhu Youde has produced evidence to prove that the minister who secretly dealt with him is Song Shangshu. If Song Shangshu is innocent, why don't you ask the imperial army to search your house and check the property in your house Is the income legitimate!"

Song Shangshu glared at Liu Shangshu resentfully.

Liu Shangshu snorted coldly, and continued: "I beg Your Majesty to order the imperial army to search Song's house!"

Gu Yang looked at Zhao Youxiang with complicated eyes, sighed, and looked up at Director Wang.

Director Wang stared at Li Taifu and Zhou Shangshu and asked, "What do you think of Taifu Li and Zhou Shangshu?"

Taifu Li glanced deeply at Zhao Youxiang and Song Shangshu. To be honest, if something happened to Zhao Youxiang, the leftist faction in the court would rise rapidly. faction.

But this matter, the palace has long been secretly investigated by people.It shows that Director Wang must have expected the consequences, as well as the development of the court situation.

No wonder Mr. Wang and Zhou Shangshu were eager to support the relatives of the Lu family to take power.Taifu Li stared at Mr. Wang with unpredictable eyes, and responded calmly: "This old man thinks that this matter should be investigated. It is also possible to restore Song Shangshu's innocence."

Seeing Li Taifu's statement, Zhou Shangshu followed up and said: "It's time to find out!"

Song Shangshu turned to look at Zhao Youxiang with a pale face.

Zhao Youxiang stared at him quietly.

Understanding what Zhao Youxiang meant, Song Shangshu swallowed, his hands trembling.

When the matter was found here, Gu Yang also guessed that Zhao Youxiang might give up Song Shangshu, and he said aloud: "Today is the first day of the new year, why don't you accompany me to have the first meal of this year!"

"Follow orders..." Zhao Youxiang responded to the little emperor in a low voice.

Manager Wang had already walked out of the Long Live Hall, and ordered Commander Ye to personally lead the imperial army to search the Song family and interrogate the Song family.

Leader Ye did not expect things to develop like this.Seeing these ministers come to the palace because of his wife leading the army, I thought they would embarrass the little emperor and the general manager.Unexpectedly, something more influential than his wife becoming a general happened!Qingzhou prefect accused Song Shangshu of embezzlement and bribery!

Originally, many officials in the DPRK would accept some gifts for corruption.But it depends on whether there is anyone to impeach, and whether the court will conduct a thorough investigation.If this matter comes to the imperial court, it must be thoroughly investigated!

Song Shangshu is Zhao Youxiang's first assistant, if Zhao Youxiang is implicated, and the leader of the Youxiang faction has an accident, the situation in the court will definitely change drastically!This matter is much more serious than his wife leading the army abroad!
