How did the Michong Emperor succeed in eating chicken?

Immediately there will be results.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the others have already escorted the magistrate of Gansu Erzhou on the way back to Beijing. I am still worried that I have no time to sort out related matters. It just so happens that His Majesty skipped the lecture this afternoon and left this king with extra time. "

The eldest lady listened and stopped persuading, opened the door and let the regent in: "Please, Your Highness."

The regent originally wanted to go to the inner room to see the little emperor, but since the chief eunuch was still there, he resisted the urge to go to the inner room and sat back in his seat.

"Your Highness." The eunuch came over and asked, "Your Majesty asked your servants to order the imperial dining room to prepare lunch. Your Majesty said that if His Highness gets up first, he will eat lunch first. The servants came over and asked His Highness if you want to deliver lunch?"

The regent glanced at the direction of the inner room: "No need, I'm not very hungry, let's pass it on when His Majesty gets up."

The chief eunuch answered "Yes", then stood aside and made no sound.

The little emperor came out of the inner room and saw the regent sitting on a chair dealing with government affairs, thinking that he was dazzled.He rubbed his eyes and looked again, and found that the person sitting on the chair was indeed the regent himself, not his own hallucination.

"Didn't I skip the lecture in the afternoon? Why didn't the regent return to the manor to rest?"

The regent raised his head when he heard the sound: "I thought that there were still some related matters in the northwest, so I didn't go back to the mansion." Northwest and Northwest were all excuses, he just wanted to stay with the little emperor for a while.

The regent himself had to work overtime, and the little emperor didn't care about him, so he turned to the chief eunuch and said, "Brother, pass on lunch, I'm a little hungry."

Then he asked the regent while picking up the memorial: "Can the regent have lunch?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I haven't had lunch yet."

The little emperor looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't I tell you to have lunch immediately after getting up?"

"The subject is not very hungry, so I thought about waiting for His Majesty to get up before using it." The Regent replied.

The little emperor didn't say anything after hearing this, but just ordered the eunuch to ask the imperial dining room to boil another pot of red bean and barley porridge.

When having lunch, the little emperor always felt that there was a vague gaze staring at him around him, and when he looked for the source of that gaze, that gaze disappeared.

The little emperor looked around but didn't find that line of sight again. He shook his head and continued to eat happily as if he felt wrong.

After the little emperor stopped paying attention, the regent glanced at the side face of the little emperor quietly, and put a spoonful of red bean barley porridge into his mouth.

Just now, the little emperor put a bowl of red bean barley porridge in front of him, and then put a piece of braised pork in his own bowl.

The regent looked at the shiny braised pork, and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece, but the little emperor stopped him immediately, and asked the eunuch to put the plate of stir-fried vegetables in front of him, and told him not to eat these greasy things because of the cold.

Regent: ...Although, I want to eat meat!

The eunuch felt secretly refreshed when he saw that the regent was deflated.

"Prince Regent." The little emperor put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth and asked, "There is already evidence of a connection in the Northwest of the same person on the right, why not deal with him immediately?"

"I also want to talk to your Majesty about this matter." The regent said: "On the day when the crimes of the Northwest officials were announced in the court, the Prime Minister left the city and went to the suburbs of Beijing after the court. The minister sent people from the spy department to follow him and found the right Evidence that the Prime Minister is raising private soldiers in the suburbs of Beijing."

The little emperor looked at the regent with wide eyes: "Private soldiers???"

The regent nodded.

"Then... how many private soldiers does he have?"

In fact, what the little emperor wanted to ask was, if he led these soldiers to attack the palace, would the forbidden army in the palace be able to beat them?He had heard more than once from Zuodu Yushi that the imperial guards in the palace were just putting on airs.

The regent saw what the little emperor was thinking, and smiled: "Don't worry, your majesty, there are only a few hundred people. It just so happened that your majesty gave the minister the badge of the five army camps a few days ago, and the minister has already ordered Teng Xiang, the left and right guards, and the dragon and tiger guards together, I've been lurking around the outskirts of Beijing, and I just wait for the right minister to make a move."

"Your Majesty don't have to worry, there is a minister here, and he will be able to protect His Majesty."

The little emperor was taken aback when he heard his words, touched his burning earlobe, pursed his lips and nodded.

Ten days later, the left and right deputy capital censors went south to continue their inspections, and the minister of the Ministry of officials escorted the governors of the two prefectures of Gansu back to the capital.

As soon as Zhizhou of Erzhou in Gansu was sent to prison, news came from the suburbs of Beijing that Prime Minister You was captured alive, and even the group of private soldiers he raised were also captured alive.

Little Emperor: ...I thought that with the regent's defense, this matter would definitely be resolved smoothly, but I never expected it to be so smooth.

In fact, the regent didn't expect it to be so smooth. After learning the result, he felt that he had sent three soldiers from the guards to kill chickens with a sledgehammer.

The commander of Tengxiang Zuowei came back and told the regent: "I thought I could fight, but who knew that as soon as I showed up, the leader of the group of private soldiers led them to surrender."

"He gave too much." The private soldier said to the regent with the resentful eyes on his head.

These private soldiers are bandits from Hebei.Since the head of the family, that is, the head of the private soldiers, wants to be recruited by the court to eat the imperial rations, and does not allow other bandits to go down the mountain to rob, they have been unable to make ends meet for a long time.The day before they met Prime Minister Right, they had just gone down the mountain and bought two catties of meat, minced it and put it in porridge to taste the meat.

Seeing the right minister who was named passing by, but actually came here on purpose, the head of the family was as happy as if he saw a big fat pig.Once he heard that Prime Minister Right would provide food and shelter for them, the head of the family was so happy that he kept saying that brothers, we have a bright future!

As a result, the group was deceived to the suburbs of Beijing to find out that the Prime Minister wanted to raise them as private soldiers to fight against the court.

The eldest master and the second master discussed it, but in the end they were still reluctant to part with the favorable conditions offered by the right minister, and decided to live here first and play by ear.

In the first few days of living in the suburbs of Beijing, the head of the family led the brothers to practice every day to prevent anyone from watching.Later, I found out that the right minister just occasionally sent people to see how they were doing, and they didn't care about them, so they relaxed, stopped practicing, lived for free and didn't have to work. Excited?

Until a few days ago, Prime Minister Right suddenly came here in person.At that time, the head of the family was sitting in the yard eating a chicken leg. When he opened his eyes and saw the right minister, the chicken leg in his hand fell to the ground in fright.

The head of the family comforted himself that this was nothing more than a worker who caught fish at work and was discovered by the boss. May I ask which worker does not fish when he goes to work?

Prime Minister on the right glanced at him, but said nothing.Just let them practice more frequently in the past few days and get ready.

Master:? ? ?what to prepare?Change the patron?

Then there was the scene described by the commander of Tengxiang Zuowei.

In the whole incident, the only ambitious right minister was just an idiot who could play with people's hearts but knew nothing about how to fight.

At that time, he had heard that the bandit group of the head of the family was the most vicious bandit in the vicinity, so he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy them, and served them with delicious food and drink.I didn't expect the rumors to be harmful, the most vicious bandits are all fake!

The head of the family was the first to disagree, saying that the rumors were definitely not false, but it happened when his father was still alive.His father has two tattoos on his chest, one on the left is "evil" and the other is "fierce". His nickname is the most vicious. Is it wrong to say that they are the most vicious bandits?

The right minister immediately retorted, your father is gone, why are you still called the most vicious bandit? !

What's wrong with the boss?I have inherited my father's nickname, can you control me?

The right minister was too angry to speak.

The regent, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly regretted why he hadn't called the little emperor. It is not easy to watch a monkey show in the palace.

When the two finally got tired of arguing and were willing to shut up, the regent coughed and ordered the right-hand officials to be imprisoned, and then sent the gangsters to the Fifth Army Battalion.

The little emperor looked at the stack of confessions from the right minister and the head of the family presented in front of him, turned his head and asked the regent with his eyes whether the confession was true or not because he couldn't find anything to write to fill it up?

The regent suppressed a smile, and nodded with a calm expression on his face.

The little emperor: ...these two people shouldn't rebel, they should come to the palace to talk about cross talk.

However, the charges of colluding with foreign ethnic groups cannot be washed away by the right minister and the magistrate of the two prefectures of Gansu. The right minister is suspected of treason and offended.Faced with a mountain of ironclad evidence, the three had to plead guilty.

In the end, the three of them were imprisoned in the sky prison, and they were asked to be executed in the autumn.The family was exiled to the frontier, and the three generations of children in the family were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.

The little emperor leaned his head and sighed, not understanding what the Right Prime Minister and the others were trying to do by doing these thankless things?

"Everyone yearns for power." The regent said, "Especially now that he has reached the position of right minister, he naturally wants to try what it feels like to sit on the throne."

After hearing this, the little emperor looked at the regent expectantly, his tone a little excited: "Then do you want to try?"

The regent smiled: "I just want to guard Your Majesty."

The little emperor didn't understand why the regent, who originally wanted to usurp the throne, had no such idea recently.He sighed in disappointment, and then began to think again about the possibility of passing the throne to Xie Shoufu.

Just when the little emperor thought that the incident in the northwest was over and the court could finally calm down for a while, the Ministry of Rites suddenly announced that the envoys from the Western Regions who had come to pay tribute had already left, and the envoys from Loulan would arrive in Beijing in less than half a month.

The author has something to say:

Regent: I don't want to usurp the throne, I want the queen's position

Thanks for reading!

11. Chapter 11

The little prince Loulan was sitting in the car leaning on the window sill, staring intently at the dazzling array of snacks and gadgets on the streets of the capital.If it wasn't for the deputy envoy who was accompanying him for fear that he would sneak out and embarrass Lou Lan, a circle of waiters would be set up around the carriage.
