On the stage, the troupe performed the first climax of their tricks. After the little emperor said a word of praise, the Empress Dowager Zhang followed up with two words of praise, and then turned her face away, in front of all civil and military officials. In front of him, he inadvertently mentioned the matter of the little emperor's pro-government.

This was not the first time for her, but in the past, the female family members of the harem could not see the courtiers, and the mention of marriage and government affairs was also a private matter. This was the first time she talked about it publicly.

"The emperor's son is now over eleven years old, and he should be sensible. Both the Ai family and the emperor are very grateful to the emperor for his personal efforts, but since the emperor is the emperor of the Lan Kingdom, the emperor has mentioned to the Ai family before that the emperor should be in charge. When can I give an explanation?"

The young empress dowager covered half of the hibiscus face with a veil, and continued to smile: "Today is a happy day, and I don't have to ask for an explanation. After all, it will be the twelfth birthday of the emperor in a few days. Back then The late emperor was only fourteen years old when he ascended the throne, twelve is not too young, what does the Supreme Emperor think?"

The former emperor here refers to Emperor Jianlong, the father of Emperor Yuanrui and Tai Shulan. Emperor Yuanrui had a gentle personality. The old minister didn't know what it would be like to be messed up by the queen's Zhang family.

Tai Shulan is as ruthless as that Emperor Jianlong. Ever since Emperor Yuanrui passed away and ascended the throne, the originally flamboyant Zhang family has restrained her temper. Even the Zhang family, the Empress Dowager's natal family, behaved with their tails tucked in the court, and their attitudes were completely different from those when Emperor Yuan Rui was in power.

Before Pei Qinghong entered the court as an official, Pei Yan had warned the three of them to associate with Zhang's family.The Zhang family has always been very ambitious, and this young queen mother has the blood of the Zhang family. It is really hard for her to hold back for so long in the past few years.

As soon as the woman's thin and soft voice fell, the whispers of the surrounding courtiers chatting and greeting suddenly disappeared.Most people can hardly believe that the young Queen Mother has such courage.The timid one shifted his gaze to the stage where he was still performing hard, pretending that he didn't hear anything.

Those who were daring and curious looked directly at the high platform to see how the Supreme Emperor was going to respond to this topic.It is a fact that the emperor must face the fact that he is in charge, but no one has ever mentioned it in front of the emperor, and the little emperor's uncle is at this age, whether he is old or young, the empress dowager, mother and son have been aggrieved for six years. In the past year, I must have been unable to bear it anymore. The attitude of the Supreme Emperor today will also determine the situation of the noble mother and son in the next few years.

"Father, what's going on?" Pei Qinghong took a nap earlier and didn't hear the Queen Mother's remarks. He didn't wake up until the surroundings suddenly quieted down. Naturally, he lowered his voice and asked Pei Yan for help immediately.

Pei Yan's position was carefully arranged next to Pei Qinghong by the palace servants. When the Queen Mother said that, he sighed imperceptibly, and unconsciously rubbed the handle with his fingers resting on the teacup.

When Pei Qinghong asked in a low voice, he just made a silent gesture: "The Zhang family can't help it. Pei Qinghong is young and doesn't have as many scruples in this position as Pei Yan, but his personality is extremely stable. Curiosity was not strong, so he ate the melons and fruits on the table while watching the play, no longer paying attention to the movement over there.

The man whose face was covered by a mask showed no joy or anger on his face, and his voice didn't fluctuate much as if it had been polished on sandpaper. It didn't sound like he was irritated by Queen Mother Zhang's ignorance. Instead, there was a sense of laziness: "What the emperor said is that Yue'er is indeed not young, but it's too early to talk about taking charge of the government, don't you think?"

When the Empress Dowager Zhang spoke, the little emperor's ruddy face instantly turned pale, and his long and slender fingers tightly held the dragon chair under him in a place where the courtiers could not see. All glowing with a faint bone white.

Xue Cheng, who was standing behind the emperor, put his palm on the little emperor's back on the hollow part of the chair to show comfort.When the Supreme Emperor spoke, Taishu Yuefang calmed down, but his voice still trembled a little: "The emperor is right, I still have a lot to learn from you teachers, it's too early to be in charge. "

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor did not speak, he settled down again: "It's the emperor's uncle's birthday today, and the emperor's nephew has nothing to give. Instead, I want to ask the emperor about two things here. I hope the emperor can promise me."

It is rare for an emperor to be as humble as he is and beg others in the past dynasties. It is a pity that the other party is the real person with real power. No matter how inappropriate his words are, no one will risk their lives to speak out against the Supreme Emperor It's not right.

Sitting next to the little emperor, the tall and slender emperor directly overwhelmed the latter with his aura. He was wearing a white jade wrench and placed his fingers on the purple gold chair. They naturally clasped together. After a moment's pause, the man's casual voice came There was a sound from the high platform: "The emperor's nephew is too polite, just say what you want, Gu is not an elder who is harsh on his nephew."

When he said the last word, Tai Shulan's tone suddenly rose, and no one dared to speak before he said the next sentence: "Also, I, I call myself like this, just call it in private, it's obvious You can't be so willful on the surface, the word "Zhen" should be more eloquent, Yue'er is my son of Dalan, there is no need to wrong yourself like this, Huangsao, you think it is the same reason?"

This is clearly insinuation plus reprimand.However, no matter whether you are the emperor or the queen mother, it is impossible to have an attack on this stand. The more the uncle looked at the livid face, the more he looked at the empress dowager who smiled, and said: "The emperor is indeed a generous elder to his nephew, yes I'm too nervous. It's just a matter of marriage, which requires the orders of my parents and the words of a matchmaker. Regardless of whether the emperor is still there, I can't do it alone. The first thing is that I want to marry the daughter of General Huaihua as the queen. The second thing is that Taifu Zhang is old, so he will inevitably feel powerless when teaching me, so I want Uncle Huang to find a younger teacher for me."

There is only one general named Huaihua in this dynasty, General Wang Ziyang.Although he is a little emperor with no real power, Grand Uncle Yue still knows the basic situation of the courtiers very well. Wang Ziyang has a nine-year-old only daughter under his knees, and he dotes on this little daughter like an eyeball. If he can marry the daughter of the Wang family, That Wang Ziyang must be devoted to him.

Moreover, Wang Ziyang's daughter is still young, so he doesn't need to worry that a royal heir will soon be born in the harem to replace him when he marries into the palace.A baby who doesn't understand anything is definitely more worry-free than a 12-year-old boy, and it is most suitable to be a puppet.

That Wang Ziyang is a reckless man with no background, his military achievements are earned on the battlefield with his own hands, and there is no messy clan behind him.Because of this, the only daughter of the royal family was not among the harem candidates selected by the queen mother for him.He didn't want to choose any of the best candidates at the top of Zhang's list.

As for Zhang Taifu, the other party is too close to the Zhang family behind the empress dowager. If he obeys the empress dowager's wishes in every way, even if he comes out of the tiger's den, he will enter the wolf's den again.It is better to be suppressed by someone surnamed Taishu than to be suppressed by someone surnamed Zhang.

Before Tai Shulan opened his mouth, the Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly reprimanded her: "How can such a marriage be trifling? The daughter of Wang Ziyang is only nine years old now, and she is still a baby. How can she take on the important task of being the mother of a country! Besides! Although Zhang Taifu is over sixty years old, he is not better than young people in any way, that kind of yellow-haired boy, he still needs to ask his master for everything, how can he teach a generation of emperors?"

"Queen mother, you also said that the minister is the emperor of Dalan! Is it impossible to marry the woman you like? As for age, it is not the criterion for judging a person's virtue. Neither you nor the emperor's uncle are only [-] years old. Don't you think Uncle Huang is not qualified to be my teacher?"

Of course the queen mother dared not say that Tai Shulan was not qualified enough, her beautiful face was distorted in an instant, but she recovered quickly.

The little emperor's great uncle, Yue, had a somewhat vicious temper, but he also inherited the gentleness and cowardice of his biological father, Emperor Yuan Rui.He was ignorant when he was young, if it wasn't for his big companion Xue Cheng who would explain the truth and the relationship to him clearly, he might really be fooled into doing stupid things by the other party.

Empress Dowager Zhang belongs to the Zhang family, and the blood of the uncle's family is shed on his body. This world is also the world of the uncle's family. He will never let the Zhang family get involved in the country of the uncle's family.What's more, Queen Mother Zhang talked about Tai Shulan's sinister intentions every day, but his uncle treated him better than Queen Mother Zhang in a certain way.

Besides, it's not that he hasn't heard the rumor that he wasn't born to the Empress Dowager Zhang at all, but a child that the latter snatched from the maid.After the death of the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Zhang was even more unlikely to have children, so she disposed of his biological mother and relied on him to become a pampered empress dowager.

Although the palace man who spread the rumor was quickly dealt with, but contacting the Queen Mother Zhang's deeds, Tai Shu Yue felt a estrangement with the other party unconsciously.Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhang was devastated today, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.

"Okay, marriage is really not a joke, but since Yue'er likes it, it's okay to marry a royal daughter as a concubine, and the queen can be chosen slowly. As for the second thing you said, the emperor doesn't have the time to be you Yue'er has other candidates in mind, just tell Gu to listen to him."

Here, the two requests made by the little emperor have been granted. The empress dowager's nails painted with flame color Kou Hong were all broken by her abruptly, but the maid standing next to the empress dowager screamed in this atmosphere. He didn't dare to say anything, but silently took the medicine box and came up to apply medicine to the queen mother's bloody nails.

In the past two years, the mother and child have been very separated, but the queen mother only thinks that her son is too rebellious. Although the emperor is already eleven, she also hopes that the other party can take charge of the government, but in fact, she thinks that the uncle is more ineffective than the emperor, and she does not treat the little one The emperor's change is in his eyes.It is also because of this that when the great uncle made his request, the Queen Mother Zhang was even more angry than before. She never thought that one day the great uncle would betray her like this!

When the Taishanghuang said that he gave Wang's daughter to the emperor as a concubine, all the officials below congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor for the concubine, and congratulations to the general Wang!"

The little emperor raised his mouth and waved his hands, and everyone sat back quietly.The performance on the stage had long since stopped, and the whole place was so quiet that the sound of embroidery needles falling could be clearly heard: "I think Pei Shangshu is quick in writing and has excellent talent, and he is the best candidate for the Taifu. What do you love?"

He originally wanted Pei Yan to be his tutor, but thinking that this action was too obvious, he changed his name when he caught sight of the gentle and jade-like young man beside Pei Yan.

Pei Qinghong was watching a play there peacefully, holding a round purple jade grape in his hand and preparing to give it to his mouth, but when the emperor made a sound, everyone's eyes focused on him, he was taken aback for a moment, The round grape fell from the slender white fingers and landed on the clean floor.

Then everyone heard the person sitting above chuckle lightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "For the second request, Your Majesty will do as he pleases."
