Surrounded by strong ministers

Xiao Zong showed his power, and for the first time people felt the aura of being an emperor, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty only regarded it as Han Su's instigation behind his back, and he was still the mediocre and lustful emperor in the hearts of everyone.

Xiao Zong is lecherous, this is the imprint he himself branded on the people who are prostrate at his feet, this imprint is too deep, it is like pressing a branding iron on the heart of a criminal in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. difficult.

At 14 he did two things to earn his reputation.

First, molesting the Taifu.

Second, attack the woman who might want to call her a mother in the future.

Ten years ago, Xiao Zong saw the young Taifu for the first time in the cabinet study, his eyes were straightened, and he blurted out: "Han Su, you are so handsome."

At that time, he had just suffered a catastrophe, and he came back after struggling around the ghost gate, and he had been raised in Xinyang Palace for several months before he recovered his body.His royal brothers and brothers only thought that he had not recovered from his illness, but he stared at Taifu Han who was teaching for the first time with a serious face and fiery eyes.Han Su was 20 years old at that time, a great talent who was well-known in the capital.

Taifu Han was red-faced and held back for a long time, "You, you..." and expelled him from the cabinet.

Afterwards, the cabinet naturally staged the scene of Xiao Zong being blasted out time and time again. Emperor Renming saw that he did not repent, so he was furiously isolated in a side hall far away from the cabinet, and assigned a bad boy with a beard half a foot long The old man is his wife.The old master was teaching conscientiously in the side hall. Xiao Zong was either dreaming of Duke Zhou, or swaggering out of the hall. The master pointed at his back and shouted: "You can't teach a child! You can't teach a child!"

Emperor Renming left Xiao Zong to the side hall, thinking that he could finally stop losing face to the royal family, but he didn't know that he was wrong.

The Piandian is close to the Chuxiu Palace, and there are many beautiful women in the Chuxiu Palace, Xiao Zong often goes there when he has nothing to do.As a prince, he has an air of superiority, and his appearance is already showing a hint of elegance.Several young girls aged thirteen or fourteen were completely fascinated by him.

Rumors of this incident got quite a bit of momentum, Emperor Renming was furious, and called his son who had suffered from an illness and his temperament changed drastically, and scolded him. You are not allowed to take a step.

Since then, he has been under house arrest.

This is the result of Xiao Zong's lust.He doesn't like the reputation of being lecherous, but he needs this result, so he has to do it.

The princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all promising since they were young, and all the younger ones had a way to impress the courtiers and the emperor.At the age of [-] or [-], those with better aptitude can study the emperor's strategy, those who are less qualified can read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, and those who are even worse can read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly.

There is no owner in the East Palace, and Emperor Renming said that he would choose the best to be the reserve, and everyone wanted to step on each other to climb up the reserve.

Xiao Zong's mother and concubine died early, and his grandfather's family still had some real power at that time, and they were very greedy for the vacant position in the East Palace, but since Xiao Zong won his life in the hands of the king of hell, he has seen it more clearly. He couldn't afford the muddy water, and he didn't want to suffer innocent people, so he could only make a bad plan to discredit him, whatever he could.

Because of this, Xiao Zong was able to spend ten years in peace and stability in Xinyang Palace, until one day the throne fell from the sky, and Prime Minister Wen Ting led all the officials to respectfully invite him to ascend the throne.

Because of this, after Xiao Zonggui became the emperor, even though he tried his best to restrain his words and deeds, as far as possible from the word "color", no one bought his account. As a matter of fact, the people who are trying to gain money even appear on the table from time to time, begging him to draft to enrich the harem.

Xiao Zong has become numb to this, he thinks he will be a womanizer in this life.

At the end of the day, Xiao Zong was working diligently in the imperial study, piles of memorials were piled up on the imperial case, among which he was not surprised to have approved the memorials urging him to set up a concubine as soon as possible, there were quite a few of them .

He could pretend that he hadn't seen the notes of other people, but he had to give an answer to the notes of Prime Minister Wen Ting.Wen Ting wrote in the memorial that the Great Zhou Dynasty had been established for hundreds of years. Since the emperor Taizu, the dragon veins have flourished and the country's fortune has been prosperous. The prosperity of the dynasty will be passed on to future generations. Xiao Zong should pass it on to his heirs as soon as possible.

Xiao Zong's harem is really shabby right now, with only a few beauties.

He looked at Wen Ting's papers, and thought that Xiangye's eldest granddaughter seemed to be fourteen years old this year. She had performed at the imperial banquet after the enthronement ceremony half a year ago. She played the piano well. She had good looks and temperament. The good thing is that the surname is Wen.

Xiao Zong took the pen and dipped it in the ink, ticked out the words "pass on to the descendants", and gave instructions beside him: The fourth son of my emperor's nephew is extremely intelligent, and the fortune of the great Zhou Dynasty is not bad.After thinking about it, I added another sentence: If the heirs are too prosperous, it will be a disaster for the country. The matter of concubines should be discussed after pressure.

Putting down his pen, he was thinking about whether Wen Ting would blame Han Su again after seeing this instruction.At this time, the servant came to report: "Teacher Han please see me."

Xiao Zong let out a "hmm", followed the servant to lead Han Su to the imperial garden to wait, then got up and turned behind the screen.The eunuchs who accompanied him saw the emperor's outfit, hanging on the screen from the inside to the outside, and they were about to go to serve, when a low voice came from behind the screen: "Stand down!"

It was early summer at this time, the blue waves of the Jinghu Lake in the Imperial Garden were slightly swaying, the lotus leaves were floating in the water, and the little lotus just dewed.

Han Su stood in the corridor, looking at the lake, frowning slightly.He had an important matter to meet today, but he was sent here to wait. This place is full of birds and flowers, no matter how you look at it, it is not suitable for discussing state affairs.

After a while, Xiao Zong's figure floated along the floating corridor from the other side of the lake, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his long hair fluttering lightly, against the blue lotus all over the lake, he was gentle and elegant.

Han Su was a little dazed. He didn't expect to wait for such a light-clothes, plain gown, untied hair, and full of Confucianism, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Ever since Xiao Zong got angry in the main hall that day, he has been looking forward to the emperor making more progress, preferably with a thunderous wrist, full of turbid air.But this good wish of his didn't last long in his heart, it was extinguished by Xiao Zong's outfit at this time.

"Your majesty is here." Han Su bowed with a wooden face.

"Teacher doesn't need to be too polite." Xiao Zong stretched out his hand, and gave him a friendly hand. Han Su stiffened his face, took a step back, and said respectfully, "I dare not."

With his hands stuck in mid-air, Xiao Zong chuckled: "Teacher is still cautious, you are my wife... Although I didn't teach me how long, there is a way to be a teacher for a day and a teacher for life. Today I changed the dragon robe I chose to meet you in such a beautiful place, because I hope that you can put aside the rules of the monarch and ministers, and share with me the friendship between teachers and students." Regardless of Han Su's darkened face, he went to hold his hand again, "You are in front of me, come here There are those few stereotyped words that come and go, and it sounds boring to me."

Han Su raised his eyelids, looked at the joyful Xiao Zong blankly for a moment, lowered his head and unhurriedly took out his wide sleeves, took out a golden object, and waved it in front of Xiao Zong's eyes. Looking at the emperor with satisfaction, his face froze for a moment, and finally he stopped holding on to him.

That golden light dazzled the eyes, and the thing that made the emperor extremely depressed was a whip.Ice silk is twisted into gold wire, twisted into nine strands, extremely tough.

It was the token that Xiao Zong personally gave him to knock out the emperor and punish the ministers.

At the end of last year, Han Su looked up at the Daming Hall and saw the new emperor wearing a dragon robe. He couldn't help but think about all the frivolous words and deeds of the fourteenth prince to him ten years ago.He was very torn, 14 years old was still so absurd, ten years later, he was the emperor, he didn't know what kind of virtue he would have, and what he would do to make him angry.

He decided at the moment - to resign.

Back at Taifu's mansion, he wrote a note to resign that night, halfway through, the new emperor came in person late at night.The scene at that time is still fresh in Han Su's memory. The new emperor Xiao Zong put his hands behind his back in front of him. The kings are arrogant, and the hearts of the people in the world are uneasy. Han Su, you have read the books of sages for more than [-] years, and you don't think about being loyal to the king and serving the country to benefit the people. What are you thinking about!"

He was reprimanded to the point of embarrassment, he only felt that he was not only a villain, but also a dirty mind, and even more ignorant of justice.He even felt that the new emperor had lofty aspirations, not something in the pool.

So he did not resign.

The next day, the first thing the new emperor did when he came to the court was to give him a golden whip in the hall, to beat the emperor unconscious, and to punish the ministers.He was overwhelmed with emotion, meeting a virtuous minister with the Lord is like rain at the end of a long drought, and he, Han Su, can finally show his ambitions.

But the reality was not as good as he expected. The emperor's subsequent performance was really disappointing. He was both meek and lacking in assertiveness. Not to mention rectifying the court, he had never dismissed even a corrupt official. The turbid atmosphere in the court made him breathless .

He didn't know whether the majestic and inoffensive Kyogami in his study that night really existed or he was delusional.

In fact, there was another thing that Han Su didn't know, or it should be said that he didn't want to know.Back then, when Xiao Zong bestowed great favor on him, most of the officials were very jealous in their eyes when the King of the Golden Palace was so gracious. When they were jealous, they all wanted to go to the same place——

Visiting in the middle of the night, the next day's favor is supreme, the long-cherished wish of the emperor ten years ago has finally come true.

Therefore, Taifu Han always puts on the face of the emperor, and there is something inside.

Putting away the golden whip, Han Sulue took a step back, and bowed to Xiao Zong. He wanted to report to the business... After the report was over, he left the palace early. No matter whether the king was a dragon or a worm, he, Han Su, must seek his own government in his place. "Your Majesty, I have something to announce..."

"The Grand Tutor came to see me for King Qin's birthday?"

Before he could say anything, he was cut off by the emperor, who raised his eyes to see Xiao Zong smiling: "Do you think my handling is inappropriate?"

Han Su was silent for a while, and said: "I think it's not right, please make a decision again, Your Majesty."

Xiao Zong sighed: "I have explained the reason clearly in the hall, why? Isn't King Qin's disrespect enough to avoid a congratulatory gift?"

Han Su condensed his face slightly: "According to the etiquette, when His Majesty ascends the throne, the kings must go to Beijing to congratulate him. King Qin is absent, and it is not an exaggeration to punish him for being disrespectful. However, the current situation..." He frowned, as if he was inaudible Sighed, "Wen Ting has some good words. The King of Qin is powerful, he holds a large army, his fief is adjacent to a foreign country, and he has outstanding achievements. For such a person, the emperor certainly cannot obey Wen Ting's words and give him Changying Mansion, but For the sake of the overall situation and reason, it is not appropriate to give nothing.”

"Are you worried that the King of Qin will be dissatisfied and rebel?" Xiao Zong squinted at Han Su, pursed his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "If I don't give him a birthday gift, he will rebel. If this reason is spread, the world will laugh out loud. of."

Han Su's mood was far less relaxed than that of the emperor, and he had no time to listen to cold jokes. He said anxiously, "King Qin will not rebel immediately, but there is no guarantee that he will not hold grudges in his heart. It will take a long time..."

"Teacher is worrying too much. The king of Qin wants to rebel, and the time is far from ripe."

Han Su was slightly taken aback, seeing Xiao Zong lightly fiddle with a lotus bud, turned his head and smiled at him, "There is not only one king of Qin in Dazhou, my uncles and other kings with different surnames can't stand shoulder to shoulder with him , Leaving aside, the Sima family, king of Chu, holds 20 troops, which is not a soft persimmon."

Han Su's brows frowned even deeper, and he said gloomily, "Your Majesty, the King of Chu is not a kind person, so he may not be well-intentioned."

Xiao Zong turned his head and looked at the blue color of the lake, the lotus leaf and the lotus swaying in the breeze, and said leisurely: "I don't care what kind of mind he has, I only care about the result. If the King of Qin really wants to make trouble, if the King of Chu just sits and watches, The final beneficiary is the king of Chu. If the king of Chu helps me fight against rebellion, both the kings of Qin and Chu will suffer, and the one who benefits will be me, and it will not be the king of Qin. Han Su, you say that the king of Chu has no good intentions. If he rebels, the result will be It can't be better than King Qin. When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. Everyone wants to be a fisherman, and the one who strikes first is doomed not to have the last laugh."

Han Su stared blankly at Tianzi's calm side face, which was as gentle and indifferent as always, with only a faint light that he was not familiar with from his slightly raised eyes, which was calm but sharp.

He was just thinking that Xiao Zong really wasn't something in the pool, and just as the corners of his lips were about to rise, he saw the emperor suddenly turned his head and murmured slightly: "Han Su, when the situation of check and balance is broken, what should I do? Or, Qin Wang Chu The king is in collusion, what should I do? Is it wise to surrender first?"

Hearing the word surrender, Han Su suddenly lost his temper.
