They all say I'm a puppet

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, a whole month after the death of Emperor Yuankang Fu Tan, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor finally came as scheduled, but the person to be enthroned was no longer the original one.But it seems that no one cares about this, or, those who care about this have already ended up in the same fate as Queen Mother Xiao's mother and son.

In the past few days, there should have been a lot of changes in both the palace and the court, but Fu Yu has been staying in Changle Palace, so he can't feel it intuitively.He was left here as if he had been forgotten, and he was not allowed to step out of the palace gate.Three meals a day were delivered on time, and apart from that, there was no one to talk to, not even the guard named Xun Cheng from before.

Fuyu could only eat and drink enough to sleep and wake up, day after day, until the early morning of the eighth day, the tranquility of Changle Palace for many days was completely broken.

At that time Fu Yu was still asleep, someone lifted his quilt and woke him up rudely, Fu Yu opened his sleepy eyes and saw Chen Yuan standing in front of the bed, saw him open his eyes , showing a slight smile: "I'm really sorry to disturb His Highness's dream, but today is an important day after all, and all the ministers are waiting for you."

Fu Yu's drowsiness disappeared without a trace, he hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "What should I do?"

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, oh, it's Your Majesty. From today onwards, you must learn to call yourself 'Zhen'." He waved his hand behind him, "Change your majesty's clothes."

Xuanyi and yellow clothes, embroidered with twelve chapter patterns, the gold crown was fixed with an exquisite jade hairpin, and twelve white jade beads hung down, just covering the eyes, Fuyu couldn't help but raised his hand and gently moved it. After a while, the jade beads touched each other and made a crisp sound. Before Fu Yu could recover, he heard Chen Yuan, who had been standing by the side, speak lightly: "Your Majesty, please pay attention to your manners."

Fu Yu's hands paused for a moment, then slowly fell down, hanging on both sides of his body.Chen Yuan nodded approvingly, walked in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you have to remember that all you have to do is to be obedient."

Fu Yu couldn't help but think of how this person leaned into his ear in the Zhaoyang Palace a few days ago, and said in a calm tone: "This is the only end for disobedient children." Fu Yu couldn't help but flinch For a moment, he subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but Chen Yuan firmly pressed his shoulders and smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, "Although your majesty is the king of a country, it's nothing to keep your servants waiting for too long. Good thing. Let's go, drive to the Hall of Martial Arts."

Fu Yu didn't dare to raise any objections, and stepped out of the gate of Changle Palace for the first time in days.

Hundreds of officials in the Hall of Martial Heroes are already waiting, and guards with swords are guarding the gate of the hall.Fu Yu got off the imperial chariot, stood at the foot of the stone steps and looked up at the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts. Chen Yuan got off another chariot, went around Fu Yu, grabbed his wrist, and said lightly: " Come on, Your Majesty."

Fu Yu gave a soft "hmm", subconsciously straightened her waist, and followed Chen Yuan up the first stone steps.

Fu Yu has never seen such a scene in his life, let alone this time, he is the focus of everyone's attention.He walked into the hall without squinting, set his eyes on the high dragon chair, and strode forward, but he could still feel the gazes from all directions, with suspicion, curiosity, pity, and sympathy in those gazes , but none of them should give the newly enthroned emperor the respect he deserves.

Everyone present, including Fu Yu herself, knew that he was just a puppet chosen by the Chen brothers and sisters.

Thinking of this, Fu Yu couldn't help but quietly looked at Chen Yuan from the corner of his eyes. Chen Yuan still had a slight smile on his face, and he let go of the hand that had been holding Fu Yu's wrist tightly in front of the imperial steps, and looked at him. Looking at the dragon chair above, he made a gesture: "Your Majesty, please."

Fu Yu swallowed her saliva, nodded her head lightly, clenched her hands hidden under the loose robe, then slowly loosened them, and walked to the dragon chair step by step.

From ancient times to the present, many people have planned and used all means for this dragon chair, but today, it happened that he, Fu Yu, sat here.Although, this doesn't make much sense.

The young man's body is still thin, and the dragon chair is more spacious.Fu Yu sat on it but couldn't touch the back of the chair behind him. He wanted to adjust his sitting posture, but he remembered Chen Yuan's words for no reason. He could only forcefully straighten his back, not wanting to annoy the unchanging Master Chen with any of his actions. .

All the subsequent procedures were pre-arranged, including the edict of the first emperor who came out of nowhere, including the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty who all knelt down to pay respects to the new emperor, including the first decree issued in the name of the new emperor : Zhuoyuan Shangshu ordered Chen Yuan to be a Taiwei to assist in the government affairs.

Everything went extremely smoothly, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were so obedient, and no one raised any objections.Fu Yu couldn't help looking at Chen Yuan, that man probably had everything firmly in his hands, maybe since the first emperor was seriously ill, he was planning how to get rid of Empress Dowager Xiao's mother and son and all the people standing in the court. The power on their side, how to control the court situation, can cover the sky with one hand.

And Fuyu is just the best pawn in all his plans.

According to the usual practice, after the enthronement ceremony, the new emperor will host a banquet in the Hall of Martial Arts to reward the officials. In addition to the courtiers, their family members will also be present at the banquet.Fu Yu didn't know when this practice started, and he couldn't tell who the courtiers sitting below toasting and shouting long live were, just like those people might not care who he was at all.

For this banquet, the imperial chef probably devoted all his life's knowledge, serving all kinds of delicacies one by one makes people dizzy, but except for Fuyu, no one in the whole hall will pay any attention.Fu Yu cautiously raised his head and glanced in Chen Yuan's direction, and found that he was surrounded by several courtiers, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he had no time to take care of himself, so he was relieved, and took a piece of paper from the case. I don't know what kind of meat is fragrant. I stuffed it into my mouth, chewed it whole twice, and swallowed it hastily.

Fu Yu always thought that the food he ate in Changle Palace a few days ago was delicious enough, but today he knew what delicacies are. While being wary of Chen Yuan, he stuffed things into his mouth carefully, and couldn't help but sigh, no wonder So many people want to be an emperor, and the food from all over the world is in front of them, who can't be tempted?

But even if I sit in this position, I don't have that fate, and I am satisfied to be able to eat such a meal.

After eating a lot in one breath, Fu Yu felt his stomach was distended and uncomfortable. He raised one hand to support his chin, and stretched the other hand under the table to rub his stomach.He hasn't slept very well since he moved into Changle Palace. Today he was woken up before dawn, and he sat tense for a long time. Now he is full of wine and food, sleepiness is gradually coming, and his eyelids are getting heavier and heavier. .

While he was drowsy, a hand suddenly patted Fu Yu's shoulder lightly. He woke up suddenly and found that Chen Yuan was standing behind him at some point, probably because he had been drinking. There was a thin layer of red, and a pair of phoenix eyes, just like the Queen Mother Chen, were raised, with a genuine smile in their eyes.

All of Fu Yu's drowsiness disappeared after she met Chen Yuan's eyes, subconsciously straightened her back, and whispered: "Master Chen."

"From today onwards, I am your uncle. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?" Chen Yuan smiled, stretched out his hand to lift Fuyu's chin, stared at his face for a long time, and then sighed softly, "Your face Ah, I really like and hate it at the same time. Obviously..." He paused here, his eyes flickered, as if he remembered something, and then continued, "It is always inevitable to remind people of you, father Emperor."

Fu Yu was forced to raise his head, not daring to make a sound, until Chen Yuan put down his fingers and looked back at the royal case in front of him: "Your Majesty, have you eaten?"

"Okay, uncle, uncle." Fu Yu replied.

Chen Yuan reached out and touched the top of his head: "He is a good and obedient boy. In this case, Xun Cheng, send His Majesty back to Changle Palace."

It is not far from Wuying Hall to Changle Palace, and there will be no more imperial chariots on the return journey.From suffering to adulthood, Fu Yu didn't feel any discomfort, but when the cold wind blew on her body, she tugged at the front of her clothes, dragging her long hem and walking forward slowly.

Xun Cheng walked a step behind him, staring at his profile thoughtfully.He has to say that this is a miraculous child. He was obviously terrified and bewildered that day, but now although he is afraid of Chen Yuan, he is no longer at a loss as he was a few days ago. I have adapted to everything, and I have found the law of how to live in this situation.

The two continued to walk forward with their own thoughts, and suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the front before they had gone far. Fu Yu glanced at the sound and found that there were several fourteen five-year-olds under the wall of the side hall not far away. [-]-year-old teenagers are getting together and don't know what they are doing.Fu Yu looked around, and couldn't help but be a little curious, when did there be so many half-grown teenagers in this palace?

Xun Cheng noticed his hesitation, glanced along, and replied indifferently: "Your Majesty hosted a banquet before the court, and the Empress Dowager also hosted a banquet in the harem, and invited some family members of the courtiers. I don't know which family these few belong to. Young Master. However, it doesn’t interfere with our business, let’s go, Your Majesty.”

Fu Yu blinked: "I... I want to go and have a look."

Chen Yuan only ordered Xun Cheng to escort Fuyu back to Changle Palace, but there was no time limit, nor did he ask to restrict the little emperor's actions. Xun Cheng shrugged his shoulders: "Your Majesty, do as you please."

Fu Yu has been in the palace for a long time, and until today, he rarely gets in touch with people of the same age, let alone these princes from families outside the palace.He was very interested in everything outside the palace, so on a whim, he stepped lightly and wanted to go over to see what these young people from outside the palace were playing.

When he got closer, he realized that there was actually a person among those teenagers, who was curling up with his head in his arms to avoid the punches and kicks of those teenagers.

The smile on Fu Yu's face slowly dissipated. He stared at the figure covered in mud and couldn't see his face for a while, and couldn't help but think of the time when he was bullied by the powerful little eunuch in the palace. In the picture, he closed his eyes slightly, opened them again and couldn't help but let out a soft shout: "What are you doing? Stop me!"

The sudden voice startled the teenagers, and when they turned around, they realized that it was just a kid about his own age. The leader stood in front of Fuyu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who are you, meddling in your business here?" ? My son, I will teach my family a lesson, so it's your turn to talk too much?"

My family?Fu Yu couldn't help but glanced at the man on the ground again, only to realize that he seemed to be wearing the clothes of a servant, which was nothing compared to the luxuriously dressed youths in front of him.It seems that this person on the ground should be the attendant of the young man in front of him, following his master into the palace for the banquet.But he didn't know what he did wrong, and was taught by his master.

This matter may have long been a routine in their mansion, but today he bumped into it after all.

Fu Yu coughed lightly to calm himself down. He turned around and saw Xun Cheng standing not far away with his arms folded, neither intending to help nor obstructing him, so he boldly asked, "Is it possible that the whole world is Wang Tu, what's more, you, you are now in my imperial city. Today, I am enthroned, and it is a great gift for you to enter the palace and have a banquet. Something happened?"

After all, these young men came from aristocratic families. If they hadn't noticed just now, after listening to Fu Yu's words and carefully looking at his clothes, they were convinced that this was the newly enthroned emperor today.They were all brought into the palace to participate in the palace banquet for various purposes of their families, and they were repeatedly warned to be careful about their words and deeds before they left. Now they were bumped into by the new emperor. You look at me, I look at you, and finally the leader of the youth took the lead and saluted Fuyu, you pushed and ran away, leaving Fuyu standing in place and letting out a long sigh of relief .

He was always bullied when he was a child, but he learned to protect himself when he grew up, but he has never been as bluffing as he is today.Fortunately, those few people just now were not very old, and they retreated after a few casual words, leaving only the dirty figures still lying on the ground.

Fuyu squatted down, pushed aside the jade string blocking his forehead with one hand, poked the man with the other hand, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, they're gone, you can get up. But first It's settled, I can only protect you this time, when you return home, that son of yours will definitely bully you, then I have nothing to do."

Hearing Fu Yu's voice, the figure on the ground raised his head slowly, following Fu Yu, he met a pair of dark eyes and a face that had become dirty from rolling on the ground for too long.His eyes were full of vigilance, he stared at Fuyu for a while, then got up on the ground with his hands on his hands, and when he stood up straight, Fuyu realized that he was only a half-grown boy, thin and small, That small face didn't look as big as a palm.

Fu Yu stared at that small face for a while, couldn't help feeling a little compassionate, and asked, "Which family are you from? Why did they beat you just now?"

The young man bit his lower lip, looked back at Fu Yu defensively, but kept silent to answer his question.

Fu Yu was helpless, and couldn't help frowning, and his voice became softer: "Look, after all, I saved you just now, and I will never hurt you after saving you. Not big, I think you may not be ten years old, I can never bully such a young child."

"I didn't ask you to save me." As if he had confirmed that Fuyu was not a threat to him, the boy put his arm on his chest down, but the expression on his face did not soften at all, "Also, I Already 12 years old."

Fu Yu couldn't help laughing because of the serious look of the young man. His brows and eyes were crooked, and his undisguised smile made the young man's complexion even uglier. He stared at Fu Yu for a while, and finally shook his arm: "I want to go gone."

Only then did Fu Yu restrain the smile on his face: "Aren't you afraid that they will beat you again when you go back?"

The young man lowered his eyes: "I'm used to it." He turned around and ran forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Fuyu, "You just said that you are the emperor?"

Fu Yu went in without knowing, but still nodded: "Yes."

The boy took a deep look at him, turned around, and ran away without looking back, leaving Fuyu standing alone, looking at the boy's back with a dazed expression.

He turned around in confusion, and saw Xun Cheng looking thoughtfully at the direction the boy left just now.Sensing Fu Yu's gaze, he looked back at Fu Yu, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's rare for His Majesty to act bravely, but it seems that the other party doesn't appreciate His Majesty's kindness at all."

Fuyu didn't care either, she shook her head and didn't care that the pearls and jade strings on her head would make noise when they collided together: "It's just a child, and it grew up in that kind of environment, maybe it will be beaten again when I go back."

Xun Cheng stared at Fu Yu, and found that there was genuine worry on his face. He couldn't help but find it funny. He was obviously not very old, yet he was in this situation, and he still had time to worry about others.He twitched the corner of his mouth and turned around: "Your Majesty has been away for a while, and the banquet in the Hall of Martial Heroes is about to end. I wonder if Master Chen will come to Changle Palace to see His Majesty on a whim."

The expression on Fu Yu's face suddenly collapsed, he looked around subconsciously, his eyes were still in a certain direction, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "If you take a shortcut and go back now, you should rush back to the front Changle Palace, right?"

Xun Cheng looked at him expressionlessly: "Your Majesty can do whatever you want."

With a bitter face, Fu Yu flicked the hem of his clothes: "Forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Xun Cheng, and walked straight towards a small road.
