Little emperor

"What! Your Majesty wants to choose a companion? Does Your Majesty not want us?"

Ye Silang and Ye Wulang didn't know this until they got home, and they became anxious.

Commander Ye stared at the two younger sons, and told them: "It was because your elder brother and second brother were not with His Majesty, that's why Wang Gonggong let you enter the palace to play with His Majesty. Your Majesty has reached the age of enlightenment, and you will be here soon." To start literacy and reading, you need to choose a companion. I let you learn those talents before, so that you have the opportunity to be your majesty's companion and protect your majesty. But you are only thinking about playing! Your majesty is drawing , you went to play skiing, how can you be a courtier!"

Ye Silang and Ye Wulang lowered their heads sadly.

Ye Sanlang comforted: "You don't have to be so depressed. As long as you study hard from now on and compete with others, you will be able to become a companion and stay with Your Majesty in the future!"

These words let Ye Silang and Ye Wulang find the goal of struggle. The two cheered up and ran to study without even eating dinner.

Ye Sanlang asked his father in a low voice: "There must be a lot of people competing for the position of companion. Dad, do you think the fourth and fifth brothers can win against others?"

Commander Ye shook his head, but did not speak.

Although the little emperor is not in charge now, when the little emperor is in charge in the future, companions will definitely become the first batch of people who will be reused!Including the accompanying family, all of them may be reused by the little emperor.Therefore, each family will definitely select the most intelligent and sensible children to send to the palace, and the children who participate in the companion selection must be better than his two youngest sons.

The little emperor is about to start choosing companions to study with. When the news spread, each family began to select children of the right age for cultivation and education.The people in the palace received a lot of benefits because of this.

Manager Wang specially beat the palace servants who served in the Long Live Palace, and if they dared to reveal the little emperor's preferences, they would make their lives worse than death.

"Did Ye Si and Ye Wu sleep in again today?" Gu Yang asked Ye Sanlang casually after breakfast and did not see Ye Silang and Ye Wulang.

Ye Sanlang replied: "My two younger brothers heard that His Majesty is going to start choosing companions, and they plan to stay in the mansion to study hard during this period of time, and strive to become His Majesty's companions!"

Gu Yang turned his head in surprise and asked Mr. Wang: "Is it time to start choosing a companion?"

He really didn't know about it.

Manager Wang said with a smile: "This is what the Taifu means. The Taifu intends to enlighten His Majesty next year, but the selection of companions needs to go through a series of competitions. After the candidates are determined, they must be educated. The selection starts now, and it will be the end of the year." Almost selected."

Gu Yang nodded: "So that's the case. Then Ye Si and Ye Wu won't enter the palace to accompany me during this period?"

Without Ye Silang and Ye Wulang, it would be embarrassing for Gu Yang to pretend to be a child.

Ye Sanlang said: "If Your Majesty wants them to accompany them in the palace, the minister's two younger brothers can enter the palace at any time."

Gu Yang rubbed the flesh on his face, and said helplessly, "Forget it, let me paint by myself! My lord, I want to paint the spring scenery in the imperial garden today."

"Okay!" Manager Wang nodded lovingly.He ordered people to move away, and even brought the documents that needed his seal to move to the Imperial Garden, and personally accompanied the little emperor.

Gu Yang is drawing, and he is dealing with paperwork.

Empress Dowager Ning hasn't seen Gu Yang for nearly two months since New Year's Eve.Maybe it was meritorious service in offering the jade, or maybe it was her good performance, so Director Wang now allows her to step out of Changle Palace to move freely.

The spring is beautiful today, and she plans to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers.Before approaching the imperial garden, he was stopped by the guards.

Hearing that the little emperor was painting in the imperial garden, Empress Dowager Ning wanted to get close to him.

"Aijia wants to go and see His Majesty."

The guard looked hesitant, wondering if he should stop her.After all, this is the Queen Mother.

Director Wang also didn't explain that Queen Mother Ning was not allowed to come and disturb the little emperor.The guard thought about it, and let Queen Ning come in.

Gu Yang was concentrating on drawing, while Manager Wang sat aside to process the paperwork.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Director Wang immediately raised his head and narrowed his eyes when he saw Empress Dowager Ning appearing.

After a distance, Empress Dowager Ning saw that Mr. Wang was also there, and immediately didn't want to go there.I thought that only the little emperor and his playmates came to play in the imperial garden, but I didn't expect that Manager Wang was also there!

"Aijia thought of something, so I won't bother His Majesty." After finishing speaking, she left in despair.

Manager Wang raised his eyebrows and continued to stamp his seal with his head down.

When Taifu Li came to look for the little emperor, he happened to meet Empress Dowager Ning who had left.Seeing her, he frowned slightly, and without saluting, he said coldly: "It's windy outside, and the empress dowager is weak, so don't come out to blow the wind."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Ning froze her face, pursed her lips, and replied slowly: "Ai's body has recovered, and he can come out for activities."

Mrs. Li said with a fake smile: "The empress dowager is in good health, so I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Taifu Li did not talk to Queen Mother Ning again.In the past year, this woman has been honest.As long as she doesn't hurt the little emperor and take advantage of the little emperor, Taifu Li is too lazy to care about him.

Empress Dowager Ning breathed out, and the two passed by.

Hearing footsteps again, Manager Wang raised his head displeased.Seeing that it was Taifu Li, he put down his pen.

Taifu Li saw the little emperor sitting in the pavilion with a small pen, drawing with concentration, his appearance is really cute.He couldn't help showing a shallow smile, and looked at the villain in the pavilion softly.Taifu Li slowed down and approached softly.

Director Wang got up and walked towards Taifu Li, not wanting Taifu Li to disturb the little emperor.

The two looked at each other, and both of them understood each other's meaning.Turning a corner, the two went to the corner to talk.

"Your Majesty proposed that the imperial court set up a medical school. Both Prime Minister on the left and the Prime Minister on the right agree to the establishment of a medical school. This matter will be announced in the early court. As for the Prime Minister on the Right, I have already obtained those letters. Some people did embezzle from them when Liangzhou was aided by the disaster. The old man will continue to investigate this matter. The establishment of a secret monitoring agency has been opposed by both the right and the left, and Director Wang knows what to do."

Taifu Li quickly told Mr. Wang about the matter.

Manager Wang understood it, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, Taifu, for telling our family these things. Our family will definitely live up to Taifu's trust. To investigate the case of corruption in Liangzhou's disaster relief, Taifu Lao will be more troublesome."

"How often has the Empress Dowager seen with Your Majesty recently?" Taifu Li asked about Empress Dowager Ning.

Manager Wang replied: "The Empress Dowager understands the rules now better than before. She has realized her mistakes and repented. Now she treats His Majesty very well."

These words seem to have answered Li Taifu's question, but in fact they did not answer whether Queen Mother Ning and Gu Yang often met.

However, Li Taifu got the information that Empress Dowager Ning had a good relationship with the little emperor from these words.He said displeasedly: "How did she treat His Majesty before? Have you forgotten the king's palm seal? This old man doesn't want her to get too close to His Majesty."

"Our family understands the meaning of Taifu." Manager Wang bowed his head in response.

Mrs. Li had a lot of things to deal with, so she couldn't stay here for too long, so she left after chatting.

Gu Yang was so engrossed in painting that he didn't even notice that Mrs. Li had come and gone.

After he finished a masterpiece and put down his pen happily, Director Wang told him about Taifu Li's visit.

"They don't agree to the establishment of a secret surveillance agency, so what should we do?"

Gu Yang stood up, twisted his waist, and moved his body.The little people are so cute when they do these actions, which made Director Wang smile and said with a smile: "The Taifu means to let the old slave directly issue an order to establish this institution in the name of the Queen Mother."

Announcing the matter directly in the court hall is to be caught off guard, leaving He Zuoxiang and Zhao Youxiang unprepared.

The case of Qingzhou prefect and Song Shangshu and Wenzhou prefect is the best reason to point out Yushitai's failure of responsibility confidently.Make it impossible for the officials of Yushitai to oppose the establishment of a secret surveillance agency in the court.Coupled with the support of Li Taifu and Zhou Shangshu, this matter can be passed easily!

"I'm so happy to have Eunuch Wang and Taifu assisting me! Eunuch Wang, let's go back!" Gu Yang wanted to chat with Manager Wang about Zhao Youxiang.It's not convenient to talk in the imperial garden.

Manager Wang ordered everyone to drive back to the Long Live Hall.

Gu Yang dragged Manager Wang into the bedroom, and blocked Ye Sanlang from outside.

Director Wang guessed that the little emperor must want to chat with him about the investigation of Zhao Youxiang, and he took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, if the Taifu finds evidence, there are officials who testify that you are quite young in corruption. Your Majesty will punish Youxiang and demote him." , or dismiss him directly?"

The latter directly affected the court situation.Must be prepared early.Even though the Lu family has already entered the court to fight for power, with the support of Director Wang behind them, the Lu family is not comparable to the officials of the leftist faction, and may be defeated at any time.Zhou Shangshu or Li Taifu must be the leaders in order to compete with the leftists.

Gu Yang asked Mr. Wang: "Would he do something stupid if he directly dismissed the right minister?"

Whenever thinking about Song Shangshu, Gu Yang still felt a little uncomfortable.Is it worth giving up your life for power?Gu Yang worried that Zhao Youxiang was the same.Zhao You is good to Gu Yang. From a personal emotional point of view, Gu Yang hopes that he can cherish life and enjoy good life after retirement.

Manager Wang shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Prime Minister on the Right will not do stupid things. He will wait for the opportunity, and when the Prime Minister on the Left falls, His Majesty will ask him to return to the court in the future."

The ups and downs of the officialdom, to be able to stay in this temple for so long.Zhao Youxiang has enough scheming and patience.His deadly enemy didn't fall, how could he die in front.If he died, wouldn't it make He Zuoxiang proud?

Gu Yang was relieved, and said to Mr. Wang: "The right minister is getting old, and he should enjoy the family happiness."

Even if Zhao Youxiang withdrew from the temple, the Rightist faction seemed to have no backbone, but in fact there were always some people who continued to be loyal to Zhao Youxiang.With these people staring at the officials of the leftist faction for Zhao Youxiang, the officials of the leftist faction must be restrained in their actions.

Manager Wang already understood the young emperor's grand tutor, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, this old slave thinks that one should be selected from Zhou Shangshu and the grand tutor to accept the officials sent by the right minister, and lead the Lu family and the former right minister Officials compete with leftists at court."

But Gu Yang said: "Isn't it okay to let King Wen, King Yu, and King Liang enter the court to do things?"

Manager Wang was surprised, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, they are vassal kings! If they get power, they will breed ambition in the future, and they will definitely become the next King Qin and King Zhao..."

"Then let them fight each other! According to the story, the three monks had no water to drink." Gu Yang responded to Director Wang in a casual tone.

Manager Wang was stunned, then laughed happily, patted the little emperor's head, and praised: "Your Majesty is still smart!"

As long as the three kings enter the court to do things, the situation in the court will definitely become chaotic.Manager Wang intends to let King Wen and the others go dig He Zuoxiang's wall, so as to weaken He Zuoxiang's power in the court!

Ever since the feeling of yin entanglement appeared that time, King Wen was worried about being used for calculations, so he stayed behind closed doors.The fall has healed a long time ago, but it is said that the injury is still not healed.

Like King Wen, Liang Wang stayed behind closed doors.Wait until the court releases him back to the fief.

King Yu went to find King Wen many times, but he couldn't see anyone, so he had to run to find King Liang.However, King Liang had a cold temper and was unwilling to talk to him.

It was really boring for King Yu to stay alone in the capital, so he remembered the role-playing game that the little emperor had mentioned.He started to play the role of a salesman, wandering around in the noisy market, but made many folk friends and heard many stories.

On this day, the palace summoned them.The three met at the palace gate.

Seeing that King Wen was walking normally, King Yu pointed to him and said, "Is the injury healed?"

King Wen twitched the corners of his mouth, and nodded perfunctorily, "It's all over, but I've caught a cold recently, so I haven't seen any guests."

King Liang ignored them, went through the security check, and entered the palace at the front.

Walking together with King Wen, King Yu couldn't help sharing what he had been doing recently.

"The role-playing Your Majesty said, this game is really interesting! I have experienced it myself! During this period of time, I have played the role of a coachman, a restaurant guy, and a salesman. Among them, the salesman is the most fun! I also met Many friends, all of them are ordinary people, told me many stories, which are very interesting! After I meet with His Majesty later, I will tell these stories to Your Majesty!"

King Wen: ...

When he closed the door to thank guests, he kept reading and listening to stories.The purpose is to tell the little emperor a story the next time he sees the little emperor.Unexpectedly, Yu Wang had mastered the secret to please the little emperor!Knowing that the little emperor likes folk things, he specially blends in with the people to understand the most detailed and true folk stories!It's so scheming!

Seeing that King Wen's complexion was not very good, King Yu asked with concern: "Is it because the typhoid fever has not completely recovered? Why don't you go back and rest? Your Majesty, I will explain it for you."

King Wen replied with a smirk, "No need."

After passing the security check, King Wen accelerated his walking speed to throw off King Yu.

Seeing that he was walking fast, Wang Yu asked him to be careful while chasing him, don't run so fast, the wind is bad for his health.

The two quickly caught up with King Liang.

Seeing that these two men were chasing after him, King Liang quickened his pace, trying to leave them behind again.

Soon, the three came to the Long Live Hall.Commander Ye did not stand guard at the door.The guard let them in directly.

King Liang looked suspicious, and followed the guards into the Long Live Hall.

Gu Yang is not in the Long Live Hall, only Manager Wang is there.

When Director Wang saw them, he asked them to sit down and drink tea, and the palace servants in the palace retreated after pouring the tea.

This move made the three vassals feel uneasy.Especially King Wen, who was quite familiar with Manager Wang, asked directly, "My lord, what is your majesty asking us to enter the palace for?"

Director Wang smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty's secret order, let the three Highnesses prepare to enter the court."

Hearing this, King Wen, King Liang, and King Yu looked surprised.

Especially King Wen, whose face turned pale with fright.In order to lure King Zhao to the capital, he played the image of an ambitious vassal king before. If he really entered the court to participate in political affairs, those powerful officials would definitely attack him, kill chickens and monkeys, and warn King Yu and King Liang!

"Wang, Eunuch Wang... What, why is this?" King Wen's hand holding the teacup was trembling, and he couldn't hold the cup steady at all, so he put the teacup down directly.

Liang Wang was only surprised for a moment just now, and soon his face returned to normal.He lowered his eyebrows and thought about why the little emperor would use these feudal lords.Could it be that they want to use their hands to deal with powerful officials?

King Yu swallowed his saliva, with a disturbed expression on his face, he looked at King Liang to the left and King Wen to the right.

"Your Highnesses will know about it after a while. This is a secret order and must not be leaked." Director Wang did not explain the details.

When King Wen and King Yu were flustered, King Liang said calmly, "Your Majesty obeys the order! I wonder if Your Majesty has anything else to say?"

Manager Wang shook his head and said to them: "If you guys have any interesting stories to tell Your Majesty, you can wait here."

Liang Wang nodded to Manager Wang, got up and left the Long Live Hall.

King Wen and King Yu, you look at me, and I look at you.

Relying on the long time spent with Director Wang, King Wen boldly asked: "My lord, did you arrange for some of us to enter the court to deal with those ministers?"

Manager Wang smiled, but did not speak.

This made King Wen sure that he was right!His complexion became even worse, and he said with a stiff face, "Are you kidding... let us young people enter the court to fight those old foxes who have been in the temple for decades, how can we beat them!"

Manager Wang narrowed his eyes and responded to King Wen with a smile: "Does King Wen think this is a joke?"

The small eyes are unpredictable, and there is no trace of a smile.The upturned corner of the mouth was obviously a smile, but it made people panic.

King Yu didn't dare to speak, he lowered his head and stared at his hands.

"Our family still has matters to deal with, so we won't accompany the two Highnesses." After saying that, Manager Wang got up and left.

Gu Yang was very happy after seeing the fields Mr. Wang had selected for him.I plan to let Director Wang find an expert in farming and teach him to grow vegetables!

"Eunuch Wang! I'm back! That piece of land is really nice! It's huge! I heard it can grow a lot of things! I like it very much!"

King Wen and King Yu were sitting in the Long Live Hall with a slumped look. When they heard the little emperor's voice, they seemed to be alive again. They immediately became refreshed and rushed to the door to greet him.

"His Majesty!"

King Wen saluted King Yu.

When Gu Yang saw them, he greeted them happily: "King Wen, King Yu, you are here! Where is King Liang?"

King Wen hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, King Liang has already left after his arrival. I have collected a lot of good stories recently, and I want to tell your Majesty!"

"That's great! Go! Go in and sit down!" Gu Yang walked into the back of the Long Live Hall and asked them to follow.

After sitting down, he did not see Ye Silang and Ye Wulang. King Wen asked curiously, "Where are Ye Silang and Ye Silang? Didn't they enter the palace?"

Gu Yang shook his head: "They are studying at home! Eunuch Wang has started to choose a reading companion for me, and they are going to run for a reading companion. Leave them alone, which of you two will start telling stories first?"

King Yu opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, King Wen took the lead and said, "Your servant comes first!"

The stories that King Wen collected during this period are all strange folk tales.He felt that the little emperor must be interested in supernatural stories after hearing so many stories about the elders and the younger ones!

King Yu could only shut up, picked up the teacup, concealed his embarrassment just now, and drank tea slowly.

King Wen told Gu Yang two short stories. Gu Yang felt bored and asked King Yu out loud, "What is King Yu doing these days?"

Gu Yang is actually very clear about Wang Yu's recent movements.Beggars in the city, in addition to staring at key officials, will also monitor the movements of these three vassal kings.Liang Wang and Wen Wang stayed in the house and did not go out, but Yu Wang went out every day, and he would dress up in disguise. One day he would dress up as a coachman and the next day as a waiter, which naturally attracted the attention of the beggars.Because King Yu behaved strangely, the small table would report his movements every day.

Having the opportunity to speak, King Yu immediately told the little emperor what he had done.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have been playing role-playing these days. I have played the role of a driver, I have played the role of a restaurant boy, and I like to play the role of a salesman! After letting go of the status of a vassal king, I have integrated into the people and learned about the lives of ordinary people. Your Majesty In Baixin's mind, he is now a fairy-like figure! The common people love His Majesty very much!"

"Oh? Really? It's really interesting! You start from the first day of acting, and I want to know everything." Gu Yang smiled, looking surprised, and couldn't wait to hear Yu Wang's story.

Yu Wang began to tell the story of himself playing a folk role.Gu Yang listened very carefully, his eyes looked straight at King Yu.

King Wen sat aside, staring at them quietly, feeling sour in his heart.The little emperor used to like listening to him tell stories the most!Even a trivial matter, the little emperor could listen to it with gusto.

Now it seems that the little emperor actually likes things outside the palace.No matter how boring things are, as long as they happen outside the palace, the little emperor can listen to them.The strange folk tales he specially collected were not as attractive to the little emperor as the trivial folk stories collected by King Yu.

"Flower season cakes have been famous in the capital for many years, but since King Zhao entered the capital, that shop has been closed. Your Majesty, I think this matter has something to do with King Zhao. I have inquired specifically. On the day King Zhao entered Beijing, there was indeed a good-looking A man with characteristics similar to Zhao Wang has been to Huaji Pastry to buy things."

Listening to King Yu talking about this matter, King Wen said in a strange voice: "It's been so long, what's the point of bringing this up?"

King Yu was stunned for a moment, and explained: "It doesn't make sense. I just found out and told His Majesty. It was His Majesty who asked me to start from the beginning..."

Gu Yang said to King Wen, "Listen to what King Yu is saying, and don't interrupt."

Turning his head, Gu Yang said to Yu Wang: "Continue!"

Yu Wang continued to talk.

King Wen felt unhappy, so he picked up a teacup and drank bored tea.
