Chapter 48
The little emperor left the National Teacher Tower, feeling both depressed and happy.
Depressed is that Yinhe still puts the world first, not him; happy is that before leaving, Yinhe asked him to wait for him in the bedroom tonight, saying that there was a small gift.
The little emperor believed the words of the national teacher, not Hua Ziyao.
Yinhe told him to be careful with Hua Ziyao's words, not to be caught in it, but to be led by the nose by Hua Ziyao.The little emperor nodded repeatedly, silently thinking about what he should do.
But before he walked down the steps in front of the National Teacher Tower, he saw a servant beside the Queen Mother trotting over and waiting on the steps.
The little emperor frowned slightly, but quickly turned expressionless, and walked down the steps, as expected, the servant said yes, the empress dowager had not seen the emperor for a long time, and she missed her very much, and now she wanted to invite the emperor to come over and talk.
The little emperor was impatient in his heart, but on his face he said: "It's true that I haven't talked to the queen mother for a long time, I'll go back to the bedroom to tidy up, and then I'll go visit the queen mother!"
The little emperor returned to his bedroom and was waited on for a change of clothes, black and dark red dragon pattern, wide-sleeved long gown, the childishness of the youth was somewhat concealed by the deep color, showing a little more the maturity of an emperor.
After thinking about it, the little emperor guessed how long he would have to talk today, so he left a note under his pillow, saying that if he came back late, he would ask the national teacher to wait.
The dragon bed is usually changed in the morning, and after noon, the little emperor does not allow anyone to enter and leave the palace at will, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
What's more, he believes that no one can understand this note except Yinhe.
The little emperor greeted the queen mother respectfully. The former emperor and the empress had passed away and slept together in the royal tomb.The little emperor's mother and concubine passed away due to illness and weakness long before the little emperor ascended the throne.
The current empress dowager was the original concubine Chen, and the little emperor still called concubine Chen the queen mother in terms of etiquette, even though she hardly paid him any attention.
"The emperor is here today," the queen mother said softly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the Ai family misses me very much."
The little emperor said: "This is not a few days ago, when the queen mother was not feeling well, it was inconvenient for the son to come to pay her respects."
"Right now, seeing my mother's complexion is ruddy, I think she has taken care of herself recently." The little emperor turned his eyes and looked at the crowd beside him, "I deserve a reward for serving my mother wholeheartedly."
The servants knelt on the ground to thank the lord Long En, and the queen mother pursed her lips and smiled, "The emperor is thinking more and more decently now, and finally he has grown up."
The little emperor smiled, "Mother, this person will grow up one day, so there is no need for others to watch everything."
There was something in these words, the Empress Dowager heard that her complexion was a bit uneasy, but she said nothing after all, she took a sip of tea and said: "This new tea is not bad, this year's morning tribute tea."
The little emperor didn't speak, but also sipped a little, "The queen mother is really lucky."
This year's early tribute tea has not been used by an emperor, but the queen mother has used it.There is nothing wrong with dedicating rare things to the queen mother, but the little emperor knew in his heart that he had the tribute tea this morning, but he hadn't brought it out yet to say that he would carry out the routine distribution of rewards.
The queen mother is naturally difficult to distinguish.
But he got the first sip of early tribute tea this year from the queen mother. It can only be said that either the queen mother is powerful or someone deliberately pleases him.
The Empress Dowager brought out these two cups of early tribute tea, just to show her prestige.
The little emperor knew that his performance made all of them very dissatisfied, including Yinhe, but the most dissatisfied should be the Queen Mother and Prince Qi who was allied with her.
They have nothing in common, the only thing is that they are all eyeing their own throne.
If it is possible, he really wants to just give up the throne and fly away with Yin He.
But Yinhe couldn't, he assumed the order and responsibility of the national teacher.
"I heard that the emperor went to the National Teacher Tower again today." The two had nothing to say. After chatting for a while, the Queen Mother finally asked what she wanted to ask, "The National Teacher Tower has always been a holy place for the people of the country. , the emperor always runs like this, it seems not very good."
The little emperor lowered his eyes, "What the queen mother said is that the national teacher avoided seeing me today, and that's what she said."
The queen mother was a little surprised when she heard that the national teacher avoided seeing the little emperor, but after all, the two had not met, and the queen mother couldn't say anything else, "The national teacher is getting old, and his mental strength can't keep up. When I took you, you liked to play around." , It cost him a lot of thought. You are right to think about him all the time, but don't be so direct in the future. "
The little emperor nodded in agreement.
Except for him, no one in the palace has seen the real face of the national teacher, and the national teacher has assisted three generations of emperors, so everyone thinks that the national teacher is a gray-haired old man.
The little emperor was both happy and unhappy.
He knew that the empress dowager used this method to prevent the little emperor from seeking help or advice from the national teacher.
But the queen mother's ultimate goal is far from this.
"Besides, Ai's family also heard that people entered the womb a few days ago, and the emperor ordered them to live in Huanzhu Palace. Is there such a thing?" The queen mother said slowly.
It may be that Hua Ziyao's movements were too big, and Prince Qi noticed it, so he asked the queen mother to ask later.The queen mother took it for granted that the person entering the palace was likely to be the emperor's counselor.
The little emperor replied: "Yes, he is an eminent monk practicing Buddhism."
The little emperor babbled nonsense, "The state teacher has been getting worse and worse recently, I can't do anything, so I invited an eminent monk to pray for him, I hope the state teacher can get better soon."
For such a reason, the Empress Dowager was a little skeptical, "Live in Huanzhu Palace?"
"Yes," the little emperor glanced at the Empress Dowager's face, "A few years ago, something happened to the Huanzhu Palace, and it has been unusable. I thought about inviting an eminent monk to come, and maybe the bad things in the Huanzhu Palace can be dispersed."
The Empress Dowager's complexion changed, her eyes were sad, "Don't mention what happened back then."
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes slowly, the little emperor naturally did not miss the complicated resentment and hatred in the Empress Dowager's eyes.He knew that the Queen Mother had never stopped looking for Yan Yi in those years.
"Mother, don't be sad." The little emperor comforted.
The queen mother waved her hand, "I'm tired of mourning my family."
The little emperor understood, "Mother, take care of your body, it will warm up in spring, you can go for a walk."
"The spring breeze is strong and there is a lot of pollen, but it is not good for the Ai family." The Queen Mother said.
"The queen mother should also pay more attention to rest."
"Okay, okay, Ai's family is very tired, the emperor's political affairs are important."
The little emperor bowed politely and took his leave.
After leaving the Empress Dowager's Shou'an Palace, the little emperor was never so excited as at this moment. He seemed to suddenly understand what Yinhe meant when he said that he protected the world, he meant to protect him.
The world is protected by the national teacher. If the world is in trouble, the national teacher cannot escape its responsibility.
But this world belongs to the emperor after all.
Hua Ziyao was not surprised by the little emperor's visit again. He was trying the glutinous rice and pear flower cake prepared in the palace. At first, he thought the taste was refreshing, but eating a few more pieces made it a bit sweet and greasy, but it was very suitable for children's taste.
"Perhaps you should have a piece to calm down." Hua Ziyao picked up a piece and handed it to the little emperor.
The little emperor didn't appreciate it, and sat in the place where Hua Ziyao usually wrote notes to plan strategies, "Second brother, I call you second brother here, I think second brother won't mind."
"I don't mind."
"Then the owner of the old man's pavilion, Hua Ziyao," the little emperor said after a pause, "I entrust the old man's pavilion to do things for me as a client, is it possible?"
"Yes," Hua Ziyao nodded, "I wonder what the emperor wants?"
"I want a good policy to govern the world."
"Then I don't know how the emperor will exchange it?"
"I exchange the world's seas, rivers, and rivers."
Hua Ziyao was at a loss for words for a moment, before saying after a long time: "I thought you were really frivolous, with more than arrogance and lack of character."
The little emperor looked at him quietly.
Hua Ziyao stood up, "But now it seems that the national teacher has taught you very well, and it took a lot of effort."
"Then, does the Pavilion of the Old Man accept the entrustment?" the little emperor asked.
But Hua Ziyao turned around, "But what does the world have to do with me, it's not my world."
"I am sorry for the old man's pavilion to accept this matter."
The little emperor lowered his eyes and changed the conditions, "Then how about I exchange the world with the world?"
Hua Ziyao raised a little interest, "That's great, it's not the deity who robbed you."
"However," the little emperor continued, "with a period of 15 years, if the world is peaceful within 15 years, I will surrender this country."
"15 years!" Hua Ziyao sighed, "15 years is rare in life."
"My old friend's pavilion doesn't need to waste these 15 years," Hua Ziyao said again, "However, if you entrust Xiao Jiu to the deity, the old friend's pavilion will be entrusted by you."
"Leave it to you?" The little emperor was a little reluctant.
"Why?" Hua Ziyao laughed, "The youngest son died early?"
The little emperor was silent.
Hua Ziyao turned around and looked at the little emperor, "Then it depends on whether Xiao Jiu's life is hard or not. If it is hard, the deity will be the emperor's teacher, and if it is weak, it will obey the deity's life."
"I have to ask Xiao Jiu."
Hua Ziyao shook her head, "Now, tell me everything you know."
The little emperor was silent for a while, and said: "Prince Qi in the court is the only prince with a foreign surname conferred by the previous emperor. Because he is good at fighting, he has made great contributions in protecting the country. But he is arrogant and domineering, and recently he has impure thoughts. Most officials in the court voted for him. I, in order to ask for protection, all the political memorials I have seen are submitted by him after he has seen them."
"The queen mother of the harem, the concubine Chen of the year, when I first ascended the throne, there was a short period of time when I listened to the government behind the curtain. It was probably at that time that I was fascinated by power and tried to overthrow me. But as a woman, her strength is weak, so she has Form an alliance with Prince Qi."
"Outside the court, there are my third uncle and fifth uncle who are eyeing my throne covetously, and they are secretly kings in their own fiefdoms, and they don't recognize the emperor in Beijing."
After the emperor finished speaking, he was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled, "I always knew it, but I just didn't want to pay attention to it. Now that I say it, I know that my role as emperor is such a failure."
Hua Ziyao nodded, "It's good that you know."
"But you still missed it," Hua Ziyao added, "Prince Qi and the Queen Mother are indeed detrimental to the throne, and they are ready to move, but no matter which of them sits on this seat, everyone is unwilling, even among allies. There will be resentment."
"In order to preserve the relationship between the allies and avoid foreign enemies," Hua Ziyao paused, "They need a legitimate and obedient successor."
The little emperor was taken aback, and immediately said: "Xiao Jiu!"
"Xiao Jiu is the son of the nobleman of Quan, unfortunately he is a posthumous child," Hua Ziyao said, "but fortunately, the nobleman of Quan has no power or influence, so he will take care of it later."
Seeing the little emperor frowning and unwilling to believe, Hua Ziyao felt bored, "Xiao Jiu is your only younger brother, if there is a more suitable one, they will naturally not support Xiao Jiu. It can't be called close. When Xiao Jiu is a little older, he will naturally be sensible, and he will never obey obediently again."
"If so, Xiao Jiu..." The little emperor closed his eyes, "I will never let this happen."
The corners of Hua Ziyao's lips curled up, knowing that the little emperor had agreed to her conditions, she said, "Try to come to Huanzhu Palace as little as possible in the future, and if there is something, I will tell you."
The little emperor thought for a while, and there were many eyes and ears in the palace, since he told the queen mother that there is an eminent monk in the Huanzhu Palace, and he came to get rid of some dirty things in the Huanzhu Palace, as an emperor, he should naturally come less often.
"I hope you abide by the agreement." The little emperor said.
