thank you + extra

"It's all due to the ministers." Liu Zao replied.

The Empress Dowager looked at her again, feeling once again in her heart that people are not as good as God, she really chose the wrong person, but these words can no longer be said.

She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, have you thought about it? Is it in Changle Palace or Weiyang Palace?"

Liu Zao said: "I would like to live in Weiyang."

This was expected, but the Empress Dowager did not expect the emperor to be so direct, without even thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty trusts Prime Minister Xie so much?"

Liu Zao shook her head, she hadn't figured out Xie Yi's selfishness yet, so naturally she didn't completely trust her, but relatively speaking, she was more willing to hand herself over to Xie Yi.

"At the palace that day, the king of Changyi questioned me in the court, and the chariot general Liang Ji was eager to establish me, regardless of how the ministers looked at me, but Prime Minister Xie cut off the doubts of the ministers from the beginning, so that I would never have to be questioned again. " Liu Zao said, she is still not used to being an emperor, and sometimes forgets to call herself "Zhen".

The Empress Dowager smiled again: "Your Majesty has been subdued by such a small favor?"

Liu Zao still shook her head, but there was a little shyness on the face of a young man: "I am very curious about Mr. Xie." Young people can't help but argue, she has seen Mr. Xie three times, and she said a lot, but She still couldn't understand her, and she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

"If you can let His Majesty see through it a few times, how can you be thankful?" The queen mother laughed.

Liu Zao was keenly aware that the Empress Dowager had softened her a lot.

"Then how can I know Mr. Xie well?" Liu Zao asked along the way.

The queen mother was surprised, never thought that the emperor would ask her for advice.She thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, if you want to know a person, you need to know where she came from and where she wants to go. Everyone has a place of origin and a place of return. Knowing where they come from, you can know their temperament and past, and know their past." Where he returns, we can know his ambition and state of mind.”

Liu Zao repeated the empress dowager's words in her heart, thinking about the deep meaning, she felt that she had gained something, and asked again: "So, where did the empress dowager come from, and where does she want to go?"

She is very bold, dare to spy on her past and aspirations face to face, she is also very smart, see through what she can do for her now.The queen mother watched the emperor's counting breath, and said softly, "I am the empress of Emperor Zhao, and he is where I come from. As for where to go, Your Majesty is where I go." The late emperor was posthumously named Zhao, and called Emperor Zhao.

Liu Zao lowered her head and shook her head, she didn't believe it in her heart, but she didn't say it out, and asked again: "Does the Empress Dowager know where Prime Minister Xie came from?"

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "I only know that Prime Minister Xie has passed by a little bit." She paused, and continued, "Speaking of which, Your Majesty should thank the Prime Minister's aunt."

Chapter 13

The enthronement of a new emperor is a grand event for a country.

From Liu Zaomao's time, he changed his clothes and left the palace.It was still daylight, and the front of the palace was full of palace guards and ritual officials.Every step of the emperor has a meaning. When to set off and where to stay, there are clear regulations.Liu Zao has practiced many times, and she is smart, so she can't make mistakes.

The ministers waited in front of Changle Palace, all dressed in solemn court clothes.

The new emperor led them to the Ming Hall to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and then to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the ancestors.Liu Zao was not at the forefront. Before her, there were officials of etiquette, officials of music, guards of honor, and Habayashi guards who opened the way.All the officials behind him, no matter how old or young they are, hold wat boards in their hands, their faces are solemn, and their every move is in order.

Worshiping the heaven and the earth, paying homage to the former king, is the enthronement ceremony.The little emperor changed his clothes three times. The ceremonial officer told her the different meanings of each of the clothes. The last time, she changed into a gown, and the ceremonial officer held the Pingtian crown. Take a walk towards the Emperor's Seat, pass it to Prime Minister Xie, who holds it in both hands, and arrives in front of the Emperor.

Liu Zao sat on the throne without looking sideways, Xie Yi bent over and put the Ping Tian Crown on her.Her little finger accidentally touched Liu Zao's ear, which felt a little cold.Liu Zao involuntarily raised her eyes to look at her, but unfortunately her sight was blocked by Mian Yan, so she couldn't see the expression on Xie Xiang's face clearly.

Just thinking about it, I know that Xie Xiang is mostly expressionless, and won't even meet her eyes.

Liu Zao couldn't help but bend the corner of his lower lip, and relaxed for a while in this solemn hall.

The crown was completed, and Prime Minister Xie returned to the original place, indicating that the emperor had officially enthroned.

The emperor issued three imperial edicts in succession.The first way is to pardon the world, bestow honor on the people, and celebrate with the whole country.The second way called the princes and kings to the capital to see them.The third way declares the barbarians, don't start provocations.

The three edicts were all drafted earlier, Liu Zao had a look at them, and ordered them to be sealed without changing a single word.She didn't understand anything, and the imperial edict was presented to her, but it was just a scene.

After that, the ministers had an audience with the new emperor.

Liu Zao was still sitting on the throne, watching the ministers in front of the palace bow down to her.Her sight was blocked by Mian Yan, she couldn't see the looks and faces of the ministers clearly, but she could clearly see their saluting gestures, which was extremely respectful.

She suddenly liked being an emperor a little bit.

The ceremony will last until sunset.Liu Zao did not go back to Changle Palace, but directly entered Weiyang and lived in Chengming Palace.

This time she was served by an old eunuch named Chunhe, who was in the position of Huangmen Ling.Liu Zao has learned about the official system of the big man for more than a month. The order of the Huangmen is six hundred stones, and all the eunuchs in the palace are under his control.

Liu Zao sat on the couch, took off his crown and changed into a soft toga.Lamps have been lit in the hall. The copper lamps are three feet high and cast in various styles. There are standing cows with lamps on their heads;The god guī is a symbol of longevity and is very auspicious. The guī body is cast so vividly that it looks like it is alive.

But what attracted Liu Zao was not the divine guī, but another bronze lamp.This cave lantern looks like a woman half-kneeling, with one hand on her knees and the other holding the lantern.What Liu Zao was concerned about was that the woman seemed to have taken off half of her clothes, leaving half of her body exposed.

Liu Zao was amazed how there was such a woman's half-luǒ copper lamp in the palace, and was a little curious, wanting to see it more clearly, so she couldn't help but stood up and walked a little closer.

Chun He was taken aback. This copper lamp was specially brought from the Kingdom of Changyi by the king of Changyi because he liked it very much.It's okay, it's okay for the emperor to be a little more wanton in the palace.But now the throne has changed.The palace people who cleaned up the palace actually forgot to replace the lamp.

Chun He hurriedly stepped forward, thinking of persuading His Majesty, that His Majesty is young and should not be greedy for women.But as soon as he arrived at the emperor's side, he thought again that His Majesty is not very young, he is fourteen years old.After Emperor Wudi married Chen Fei on the [-]th, and Emperor Zhao [-]th chose Empress Liliang, His Majesty the [-]th should indeed know some personnel affairs, and the bronze lamp with a half-luǒ beauty is just romantic.

Chunhe relaxed a little bit, but before he could completely let go, he realized again that the new emperor is not Erlang! Chunhe broke into a cold sweat again, for the bright and beautiful young lady, this copper lamp can be called filthy.

The spring and bright little emperor stared at the copper lamp, but she still wanted to hold the lamp up and hold it in front of her eyes for a closer look.It's a pity that the copper lamp was so tall and heavy that it was hard to lift it, so the little emperor had to bend slightly.

"Your Majesty." With ups and downs in his mood, Chun He approached cautiously and called out.

Liu Zao turned his head, his face full of surprise: "Why is there such a thing in the palace?"

"This is Xie Xiang..."

Liu Zao opened his eyes wide. Is Xie Xiang so dishonest?

"...On the day when the King of Changyi was sent to the palace, the King of Changyi personally placed it here."

Liu Zao breathed a sigh of relief, and almost thanked the prime minister wrongly.

Although King Changyi was supported by General Sun Ciqing, Xie Yi was the prime minister, and it was obviously more appropriate for the prime minister to succeed the princes and kings to enter the palace.Liu Zao had studied etiquette officials for more than a month, and he knew the etiquette and law quite clearly.

Only then did she think of the King of Changyi, and asked, "Is the King of Changyi still in Beijing?"

In her heart, the king of Changyi lost the world, so he would naturally return to be the king of Changyi. It is time to return to the country, but the new king ascended the throne, and the princes and kings will meet in court as usual. In order to avoid running back and forth, he may come back after the meeting.

Chunhe replied: "The king of Changyi is still in Beijing, waiting for the court to punish him."

"A crime?" Liu Zao asked back.

Chunhe Zhengse said: "If the king of Changyi cannot keep the world, it is a crime."

Liu Zao was stunned, and wrote down this sentence again, it is a sin not to keep the world.

"Since it is the beloved thing of King Changyi, return this lamp to him." Liu Zao said, and couldn't help but look at the beauty again.The clothes are half-faded, hanging on the crook of the arms, the chest is half-luǒ, the skin is as thick as fat, the beauty slightly hangs her head, her face is shy and timid.Cast of bronze, it can have such a graceful posture.

Young people are thin-skinned after all, Liu Zao couldn't help blushing, looked away, and returned to the couch as if nothing had happened and sat down.

Liu Zao was tired all day, and after feeding, he was sleepy.

After the bed was prepared, the palace people served the new emperor to take a bath, and then sent the emperor to the bed.As soon as Liu Zao touched the couch, he fell into a deep sleep.In the dream, when she didn't pay attention, she saw Xiang Xie.

All in all, before today, she hadn't seen Mr. Xie for more than a month, and Mr. Xie would look for her in the future.Today, hundreds of officials gathered together, and the hall was crowded, and Liu Zao didn't take a closer look at Xie Xiang.But in the dream, there were only two of them in the hall, Xie Xiang stood in front of the hall, and she got up from the throne and walked in front of her.

The words that the Empress Dowager said to her yesterday resounded in her dream.
