Live up to the Tathagata and fail the Qing

From Yuan to ten years, the current sage became ill due to overwork, and his body became weaker and weaker day by day.There is another problem left to the ministers. The Holy Majesty has no heirs so far. If there are no heirs, who will inherit the great rule?

On November [-]th, the current Holy Majesty suffered from a cold and couldn't hold on to his body. When he was dying, he gave a verbal order to solve the minister's problem and let his younger brother's son Qi Sheng ascend the throne.

The Holy Majesty has always had a very good relationship with his younger brother, King Jing, but just like the Holy Majesty, King Jing had poor health since he was a child. King Jing passed away at twenty-seven before he gave birth to an heir. Seven months and eight days pregnant, the child was born.Like his father, Qi Cheng suffered from the root cause of the disease, and he has been taking medicine to recuperate his body.

Some people are happy and some are sad, Qi Cheng has just turned eight years old, and his health is not good.The joy is the general who holds a heavy army, he will not put eight-year-old children in his eyes, and he can control it when he is young, but the worry is that the current regent King Ning and the prime minister who married his daughter to King Ning have always thought that After the emperor dies, King Ning will succeed him. No one in the world knows that King Ning is both talented and beautiful. He is a rare talent in the world. Unexpectedly, his brother would rather let an eight-year-old child take the throne than give him the throne.

This is all adults' business. Eight-year-old Qi Sheng is now messing around with Chu Rui, the ten-year-old son of the Huai'an Hou family. King Jing and Hou Huai'an have always been friends. Before King Jing passed away, the two often went to the theater to listen Because of this, the relationship between the two families is very good, and Qi Sheng and Chu Rui have also cultivated their relationship since childhood.

However, King Ning's 12-year-old son Qi Chao loves to tease Qi Cheng, and often scares Qi Cheng with pranks. Qi Cheng doesn't like to play with Qi Chao even more. Qi Chao dodged.

"I don't want to play with you, you are a bad guy."

Qi Chao continued to tease Qi Cheng: "Where is your brother Chu? Does he not want you? Forget it, he doesn't want you, I want you."

"Brother Chu went to help me buy candied haws. He wanted me. He said he would marry me when he grows up. I don't care if you want me." Qi Cheng stood in the corner with his hands crossed and his back facing Qi. Chao.

"Look, your brother Chu won't marry you when he grows up."

"Yes, yes, you scoundrel." Qi Cheng turned around and shouted at Qi Chao, almost crying.

"Cheng'er, what's the matter with you?" Chu Rui, who was far away, heard Qi Cheng shouting, and quickly ran over with candied haws, hugged Qi Cheng and asked.

Qi Cheng hugged Chu Rui tightly, and quickly asked, "Brother Chu, you will definitely marry me when you grow up, right? Tell me quickly, won't you?"

"Yes, I will definitely marry Sheng'er." Chu Rui gave Qi Cheng the candied haws, stroked Qi Cheng's back with his hands, and gently comforted Qi Cheng.

Hearing Chu Rui's affirmative answer, Qi Cheng laughed until his eyes were lost. He wanted to eat the candied haws in his hand, but before he could reach his mouth, Qi Chao patted him on the ground.Qi Sheng cried on the spot.

"I really didn't, so I cried." Qi Chao looked at Qi Cheng in Chu Rui's arms, and said mockingly.

While coaxing Qi Cheng, Chu Rui said, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll buy it later." Holding back his anger, he said to Qi Chao, "Prince Ning, your joke is too much, Cheng'er is still young, please, Prince Ning Don't make jokes, son." There is no way, the other party is King Ning's son, what can Chu Rui do if he can't take Qi Chao?

Qi Chao wanted to pull Qi Cheng out of Chu Rui's arms, but before he touched Qi Cheng's hand, Qi Cheng cried louder and moved further away from Qi Chao.

"I'll just pay you a candied haws, crybaby." Qi Chao said angrily without holding Qi Cheng's hand.

"No, I want Brother Chu's." Qi Cheng yelled back.

"Cheng'er, don't cry, let's go buy it now." Chu Rui wiped Qi Cheng's tears with distress, and dragged Qi Cheng into the downtown area.

Before taking two steps, Prince Jing's Mansion sent someone to take Qi Cheng back. Even if Qi Cheng was unwilling, he could only go back sadly with his slaves. Before leaving, he told Chu Rui that he would bring two bunches of candied haws to Jing tomorrow. The palace asked him to play.

Before Qi Cheng could go far, Qi Chao came to his senses and said, "That's bad." He hurried back home and asked his father, King Ning. Sure enough, he guessed right, Qi Cheng was going to pick him up now. The palace is the new emperor.Throughout the ages, how many of the little emperor's fates were good?Qi Cheng frowned.

"Father, I will accompany the new emperor to read." Qi Chao said to King Ning.

King Ning took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "I also have the same intention. You must let the new emperor be ignorant. It is best to be addicted to wine and sex, and not to study."

"Yes." Qi Chao said respectfully.

That night, Qi Cheng was brought into the palace and became the new emperor from then on.

Although the Marquis of Huai'an has a good relationship with Jing'an, the old Marquis has long ignored the government and stayed at home wholeheartedly as an idle Marquis. He has no real power in his hands and cannot help the new emperor.

The old Hou Ye could only sigh at home, complaining in his heart that he had failed King Jing's dying entrustment. Those ministers were not vegetarians, and the little emperor was helpless in the palace, so they were not allowed to eat them alive.

Seeing that his father was helpless, Chu Rui said politely: "Father, Sheng'er is still young, so he must accompany him to study, and I will accompany Sheng'er when the time comes."

"Confused, remember not to call the Holy One by his name from now on, otherwise how will you accompany the new emperor?" Old Hou wiped his beard and thought for a while, "However, being a companion is a way."

Hearing that Lord Hou had heard his idea, he was relieved, and reminded himself in his heart not to call Qi Sheng by his name directly, and to be more careful in everything in the palace, not to be sloppy, otherwise he would not only harm himself, but also Can't protect Qi Sheng.

It is very simple to get the quota of companions. Chu Rui has the ability of photographic memory since he was a child, and he is praised as a child prodigy, and Qi Cheng personally calls for Chu Rui to enter the palace. of.

In this way, Qi Cheng's companions were Chu Rui and Qi Chao, and the prime minister's child.The son of the prime minister's family really wanted to spoil Qi Cheng, and he would bring Qi Cheng to play with anything.

The four of them got together and played well on the surface, but each had their own ideas. Qi Cheng inevitably played well with Chu Rui. The prime minister's son often brought him things, and he didn't hate the prime minister's son, but Chu Rui Rui might not get close to the prime minister's son, and he doesn't like to play with him. As for Qi Chao, he obviously hates it.The prime minister's son also knew that Qi Chao was with him, and got close to Qi Chao in private.

However, when the prime minister's young master left, Chu Rui would confiscate the things he brought, or when Chu Rui couldn't confiscate them, Qi Chao pretended to accidentally break them, and intentionally made Qi Cheng cry.

After a long time, Chu Rui understood that Qi Chao was also for Qi Cheng's good, but he didn't intentionally associate with Qi Chao, fearing that it was Qi Chao's blindfold, and if he didn't pay attention, he would harm Qi Cheng.

When Chu Rui first started, he didn't trust Taifu, but when Chu Rui went home to visit relatives in the first month, Taifu gave Chu Rui a list and handed it over to the Marquis of Huai'an.The list was written by the deceased emperor himself, and the names on the list were those who were buried by the former emperor in the early days, so that the Marquis of Huai'an would secretly protect Qi Cheng, and when Qi Cheng came to power, these people would assist the new emperor.

Looking at the list, the Marquis of Huai'an couldn't help crying: "I knew that the first emperor would not be so cruel and let the emperor go deep into Hutan."

Afterwards, Chu Rui protected Qi Cheng with peace of mind. In order to prevent others from knowing that Qi Cheng was studying hard, he begged Qi Chao to bet that Qi Chao would still be good to Qi Cheng, or that Qi Chao would show his feet early because he wanted to harm Qi Cheng. of.Let Qi Chao act as a cover, and try his best not to let the Prime Minister's son know that Qi Cheng is studying hard.Qi Chao sneered at Chu Rui, and tried his best to divert the prime minister's son's attention from the next day.

As for the eunuchs and maids who were with them, they were all selected by the first emperor himself. The people who were arranged by the general, the regent and the prime minister were put in an unimportant position by the people who were arranged by the first emperor intentionally or unintentionally, or they were given some false information. news to their master.

After all, he is only eight years old. Seeing people around him who he doesn't know, he will inevitably be afraid. It will be better when Chu Rui enters the palace. Unexpectedly, Qi Chao, who always bullies him, also enters the palace.But that's good too, it's Qi Chao's prank, which made him forget his fear. Apart from reading every day, he just thinks about how to avoid Qi Chao and forgets his fear.

The son of the prime minister's family is a person who knows how to play, and he takes Qi Cheng to play with all kinds of things, and Qi Cheng likes it at first.Chu Rui disagreed, saying that if Qi Cheng liked the son of the prime minister so much, and asked the son of the prime minister to marry him when he grew up, he would not want Qi Cheng.Qi Cheng who was threatened did not dare to like the prime minister's son, but Chu Rui said that he wanted to pretend to have a good time with the prime minister's son, so he could only listen to Chu Rui.

Qi Cheng doesn't know how to pretend to play, so he can only play while everyone is playing. Only at this time, Chu Rui will not scold him, and play with him. If there is no Qi Chao who bullies him It's even more perfect.

Qi Cheng, who was sleeping in the lotus pond, dreamed about his childhood again. He was really happy at that time, even though there were crises around him and there was an annoying Qi Chao, but at that time, Brother Chu could accompany him every day.
