I thought it was just the past and the present

041

There was another burst of jingling rings, but it was completely gone from the sweetness and ease when it came, but flustered and messy, Sun Hou staggered and was supported by the maid, and retreated from the bead curtain.This can definitely be called the word "escape", it really has no prestige at all.

Xiao Qi, however, knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times in a regular manner, then stood up, dressed his clothes in a decent manner, and sat securely on the dragon chair.

Empress Sun left, and the courtiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly straightened their clothes, and stood in line again.Then they stood below and stared at the little emperor. The little emperor sat on the top and looked at them, looking at each other. For a moment, he didn't know what to say or what to do: "..."

It turned out that the eunuch who sent the message at the door broke the calm. The eunuch also knew that the word that popped out of his mouth just now was not at the right time.Now that the emperor sat down, he knew it was time to behave properly, so he quickly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Kneel—!"

This voice is much louder than the one just now, and the eunuch who sent the message outside is unclear, so, didn't you kneel just now?Why are you still kneeling?Isn't that what the previous order was like?But at this time, no one dared to stand up and ask what was going on. They were the eunuchs who passed on the message, so... if you have something to say, just pass it on.

The ministers inside were refreshed—this is good, it really should be like this!As a result, even Sun Liangyu, whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen and unconscious, was helped up, caught in the middle of the team, and was carried to kneel down.

The courtiers outside look at me, I look at you, everyone with a pig's brain knows that there may be something wrong in Fengtian Temple, but the same pig's brain knows that at this time they have no reason to go inside to ask, then kneel down chant.

The mountains inside and outside the hall call long live.

Xiao Qi closed his eyes. For the first time, the first time in his life, he sat upright in the main hall without the curtains drawn by his mother...

Wen Yougong stood aside, the development of this matter was too fast, which made his mind a mess, his knees trembled slightly, and felt that something was wrong, so he boldly shouted: "There is a book to play, but there is no book... "

"Slow down!" Xiao Qi suddenly raised his hand to stop.

Wen Yougong almost bit his own tongue, and the courtiers were also inexplicable. When everyone looked at the emperor suspiciously, they saw the five-year-old emperor stretching out his chubby hand, pointing directly at Wen Yougong: "This slave just now It's disrespectful to caress me Liumian! You should be killed! Where is the general in front of the palace?!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!" Wen Yougong was so frightened that he lay on the ground on the spot!The head didn't kowtow, it was smashed directly to the ground, but blood came out after two blows, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I didn't mean it! I didn't intend to! I..."

He regretted it, regretted that he should not have been obsessed with ghosts for a while.His master told him that from the day he became a eunuch, a eunuch is no longer a person, but a ghost, and he has to rely on his master to live.Facing the emperor who had just reached his waist height, in just a few days, he forgot his master's instructions...

Of course Xiao Qi did not spare Wen Yougong, the warrior in front of the palace held him down, stuffed his mouth with numb numbness to block it, and dragged him down like a chicken - if Xiao Qi asked these generals in front of the palace to arrest a minister What, it will definitely not be so smooth, after all, he is young and his majesty has not yet been established, but when the Fengtian Palace is in full swing, arrest a young eunuch?Of course they have no scruples and are not soft at all.

"Today is a day of great joy, and it is not appropriate to see blood. Cut off his limbs, sew his mouth, and let him die without blood."

Wen Yougong was overjoyed at the beginning, but after listening to it, he rolled his eyes in fright, passed out, and there was a stench coming, the eunuch lost his meat, it was not easy to hold his urine, he was so frightened that he urinates together Incontinence.

Wen Yougong was dragged down due to the stench. The ministers didn't look down on eunuchs, so naturally they wouldn't intercede for this disrespectful eunuch at this time, but seeing the little emperor being so ruthless and decisive, he felt a little strange.

"You, the voice transmitter at the door." Wen Yougong took it with him, Xiao Qi still had to have a supervisor by his side, he thought for a while, then raised his hand to the voice transmitter eunuch who had made a mistake.

The eunuch pointed at himself in disbelief, saw Xiao Qiqi nodded, and then ran all the way to the bottom of the jade steps, as if he had fallen on a big horse, throwing himself on the ground.

"You will be called Wen Yougong from now on, come up and work for me."

"Slave obeys the order!" The eunuch who just tried to save his life, not only saved his life, but also got promoted, naturally he was so happy that he wanted to crawl over to kiss Xiao Qi's feet!

Wen Yougong stood in the previous Wen Yougong's position, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced secretly from the corner of the eye, saw the little emperor's ecology was awe-inspiring, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face, and immediately shouted: "All ministers have a book to play! No book! low tide!"

The ministers who felt that something was not right: "..."

"Your Majesty has his own principles." Although he felt weird, but things finally returned to the correct process, Wu Ge took his place on duty, "Your Majesty's first boarding of the Great Treasure, the world is rejoicing, it's time..."

What Wu Ge said was to ask Xiao Qi to issue three imperial decrees, the first is to amnesty the world, the second is to reward the world, and the third is to reduce or exempt taxes.

These three imperial decrees were naturally written by the cabinet long ago.

After Wu Ge finished speaking, Xiao Qi signaled Wen Yougong to go down and bring up the memorial.Wen Yougong stood at the gate of Fengtian Hall to speak on this day, the rules are not a problem, he brought up the memorial and presented it to Xiao Qi.Xiao Qi raised his hand to take it, browsed the two pages casually, folded the memorial together, faced the courtiers, and said: "Quite the memorial."

All the ministers bowed and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise! Long live Your Majesty!"

"Too!" A few people couldn't control their mouths for a while, because they had agreed to call the Queen Mother after calling His Majesty.Fortunately, there were people pulling back and forth, making them swallow the words behind them.

But in Fengtian Palace, at least [-]% of the courtiers were looking at the bead curtain.

Today's series of events seem to be for show, but in fact, this represents the succession of the new king of Daxia and the establishment of a new legal system.

Today the queen mother fled in embarrassment, even if she comes at the next court meeting, she will sit behind the bead curtain.But when the time comes, not only will she feel guilty, but the courtiers will not recognize her authority enough.On the contrary, this little emperor who is nearly five years old...

"Amazing!" Wu Gelao sighed to his children and grandchildren.

"I'm afraid that there is an expert behind His Majesty?" His eldest son doubted.

"What kind of expert can your majesty have? The eunuchs and maids who served the late emperor either went to the cold palace or went to guard the spirit. It is uncertain whether they are alive or not. The original masters of the majesty have also been withdrawn. Your Majesty's is either the Queen Mother or that Sun Liangyu, how could they..."

"Speak carefully!" Wu Ge glared at his youngest son, "You are just talking to us, but don't go outside and talk nonsense. No matter whether this Majesty is a natural child prodigy, or there is an expert behind him, Anyway, the court is going to be quiet for three to five years, and if I find a way to send you all outside, I will be able to retire."

Wu Ge's old three dynasties are naturally not fools. The emperor at this age already has his own way, but he is too young to make big waves. But after three to five years, he will not make trouble. Ambitious ministers, The clan and nobles are about to quarrel, especially with an ambitious queen mother.The court will not be stable for too long, he is too old and doesn't have the energy to make troubles, so it's better for their family to avoid it early.

Empress Sun went all the way back to Ci'an Palace, sat on the bed, and began to cry.

I thought that today would be a very glorious day for her, but who knew that she was in such a mess. After retiring from the court, I don't know how many people would laugh at her behind her back!

The maids in the palace did not dare to persuade her. Although some of the people who followed her understood the fact that the queen mother came back in a hurry.At this time, isn't it just to catch up with the boss to find bad luck?

Empress Sun always didn't like eunuchs to be close to her. At this time, all the eunuchs were outside, and no one who didn't have eyesight dared to come in.

Empress Sun whimpered and cried for a little half a stick of incense, then stood up, while taking care of herself to remove the phoenix crown from her head, while throwing and beating, the maids and maids did not dare to hide, allowing Empress Sun to throw things on them , even though he was bloody from the broken porcelain, he kept his head down and remained motionless.

Just as the place was in a mess, a voice was suddenly heard outside: "Your Majesty is here!"

Empress Sun withdrew her hand from throwing things, and looked at the things on the ground showing a trace of panic, but soon, the panic turned into anger-now this majesty is not her husband who has great authority over her, but her son!

"not see!"

Her order got out, and Sun had a smile on his face, refusing the emperor's son's request, which brought her a sense of satisfaction.

But after a while, there was a short-lived commotion outside. It was obvious that some court ladies and eunuchs wanted to scream, but they were muffled as soon as they uttered.

"Who?!" Empress Sun was shocked, and rushed out regardless of the disheveled bun.

Once outside, a small bright yellow figure stood out.

"I have seen the queen mother." Xiao Qi arched his hands. Behind him, a group of powerful eunuchs were dragging out the eunuchs and maids in Ci'an Palace. The gate of Ci'an Palace was open, and those who were dragged out were being pressed. Hit the board on the ground.The people who followed Xiao Qi were all eunuchs that Empress Sun didn't know, and the eunuchs who were supposed to follow, now they don't know where to send him away.

"You, you are bold!"

"Mother, don't be deceived by these slaves, they prevent children from meeting with mother, mother and son, I don't know what their intentions are!" Xiao Qi's voice was steady, but the clear childish voice sounded sinister.

According to so many people playing the board, it is not Xiao Qi's selfish revenge, it is also a helpless move.As a young emperor, he has no one, no authority, and no trust. These are all things he needs to fight for himself. The only thing he can rely on is the supreme status of the emperor.

It is true that there is another one who rules the world with filial piety, but...the royal family is the one who is the most ignorant of the rule of law.In his previous life, he was really cheap!He is not cheap in this life, and the queen mother still wants to step on his head in a fledgling state?Then wait for these ministers to tear her apart.

What happened in the early court made him affirmed his authority in the hearts of some people, and now he is leading this group of people to establish his prestige in the palace as soon as possible.

Yes, this prestige is that he can kill people, simple and violent, it will ruin his reputation, and make the veterans cry in the scriptures, telling him to be benevolent and righteous.But... isn't the tyrant bad?

Thinking of "being a tyrant" in his mind, Xiao Qi's eyes were strangely bright.Standing beside him, Wen Yougong lowered his waist even lower.

"It's the Ai family who doesn't want to see you!" Xiao Qi was too short, and Empress Sun was too confused today, so she didn't notice the abnormal expression on Xiao Qi's face at this time.Empress Sun only thought that Xiao Qi should not be allowed to carry out his words, otherwise the lives of those palace people outside would be lost.Although not all the palace servants in Ci'an Palace are the confidantes of the empress grandson, they are all hers. What kind of empress dowager can she be if she can't keep her own?

"Mother, there were a lot of accidents in court today, and even uncle was beaten. How could you not want to see Erchen at such a time?" This was a blatant threat.

Empress Sun, who was blushing from anger just a second ago, took a look at Xiao Qi and suddenly calmed down: "You... the emperor, come in."

The main hall is impossible to enter, from the inside to the outside, there is no place for Empress Sun to smash into it, and Empress Sun herself doesn't want to go in.The mother and son went to the side hall, waved away the crowd and left them alone, the grandson suddenly stood in front of Xiao Qi: "Where did you come from? You are so courageous, you dare to impersonate the emperor! Do you know that this is to The meat was scraped off with one knife!"

Xiao Qi picked up the tea bowl, blew on it, and then raised his head to look at Empress Sun: "Empress Mother, I am the only one in this huge palace, it is really lonely, there are so many good masters in Shangshufang, it is not easy to teach me only one. It's a pity. I was thinking... Let Xungui's family send a child who is about my age into the palace to be my companion."

Empress Sun's expression changed, it was the emperor who wanted to pull Xungui to his side, which was good for the emperor, and also good for the empress dowager who was hanging down the curtain.To strengthen the imperial power now is to strengthen her power.But she still didn't believe it was the emperor: "If you tell me where the emperor is, Aijia can save your life, but if you don't tell me..."

Xiao Qi took a sip of tea, he said a lot today, his throat is really dry now: "Queen Mother, you really don't believe that Emperor Father taught me so well, right?"

"Impossible! You are not the son of the Ai family!"

"Mother...you have never looked at Erchen several times, and you have never even hugged Erchen, so what do you think your son should be like? Ignorant and innocent, stupid and stupid? You only know how to listen to you?" Xiao Qi smiles wryly, closes his eyes, knowing son is like mother, isn't he like this before?Which family's five-year-old baby is not like that, "Mother, you have killed all my palace maids and eunuchs. Before, there were always people around you who were not you. Who else do you think can come and kill me?" Changed?"

A pair of clear black eyes stared at Empress Sun, Empress Sun squinted her eyes and sat down: "You are really a good son of Aijia." No matter how unwilling to believe it, this child can only be her Son.

"Queen mother, I will be filial to you from now on. Your bead curtains will be safe and secure next time."

"Ah!"

"Mother, let me be clear. Before your sons and ministers get married, you are the one who wants your bead curtains to be safe. Tomorrow, I will release the news of the selection of Xungui's children into the palace. If any wives come to ask, The queen mother can say that I want to choose two people in the family. People are going to live in the palace. They will study literature and martial arts with me. The servants are all eunuchs. If there are no maids, the sons of each family should not bring their servants. something like that came in."

Looking at the history books, basically the power of the monarchy, the power of the ministers (power ministers), and the relatives, these three kinds of power struggles accounted for [-]% of all political struggles.

Xiao Qi is too young, he can establish a certain authority in the palace by killing people, but he can't do the same when dealing with his subjects.No matter how much Xiao Qi wants to kill his own mother and grandson, before he is of age, the existence of grandson is necessary, and vice versa.Otherwise, why did Xiao Qi fall down in the previous life, and the empress grandson also finished playing?Empress Sun takes herself too seriously.The newly appointed little emperor finally gave the Zen throne to Zhao Song, also because of the lack of support from his descendants and relatives.

"Mother, it's already this hour, and I won't bother you anymore, you can rest." Xiao Qi stood up and left directly.

Empress Sun looked at Xiao Qi's small back, and really wanted to go up and strangle this rotten flesh to death!But in the end she gritted her teeth and held back.

Xiao Qi rode the imperial chariot back to his bedroom, Qianyuan Palace, and when he reached the gate of the palace, he yelled to stop.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wen Yougong nodded and came over.

Xiao Qi stretched out a hand, motioning for him to help himself down.As long as this Wen Yougong No. [-] remains strong, he can be trusted.

"You take people, pull out all the eunuchs and maids in Qianyuan Palace, and strangle them to death at the gate. To count the heads according to the roster, there must be no one missing."

Wen Yougong shivered for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Qi.Xiao Qi was also looking at him with a smile, the corners of his lips curled up, his eyes narrowed: "What, is there a problem?"

"No, no! The servant obeys the order!" Wen Yougong's waist suddenly bent even lower.

When Xiao Qi went to court, he drove back all the people around him.As I told the empress grandson, the real nanny and eunuch beside Xiao Qi, during the funeral of his father, the empress grandson found all kinds of excuses to get rid of them.Anyone who dared to talk about the matter with the grandson was killed by Wen Yougong and the eunuch who sent the message.Later, he also watched the palace people at the gate of Ci'an Palace and let them beat them to death.

Wen Yougong has seen blood on his hands for a long time, and his conscience has long since disappeared.But those few people can't compare with now.

Wen Yougong also understood that he could only hug the emperor's thigh tightly. If he went back to be the eunuch who sent the message, he would surely die.So even though he was trembling with fear, he still gritted his teeth and accepted the order!

Xiao Qi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, only those who don't do human affairs, I will let them not be human."

The emperor's small hands didn't have much strength at all, but Wen Yougong felt that his shoulders weighed more than a thousand pieces of gold, and his head was about to hit the ground: "Your Majesty is right."

Xiao Qi who had already sat back on the imperial chariot suddenly said: "By the way, there is a maid named Lu Zhaoying, don't hurt her life, and bring her to see me properly. Get up and drive to Chengli Hall."

Chengli Hall is the place where Emperor Xia handled government affairs, and Xiao Qi also went to court from Chengli Hall before.

Xiao Qi closed his eyes, and the imperial chariot walked steadily and quietly, but his mind was in a mess—he was taking personal revenge now.He is still too restless, but he can't forget it!I can't forget... I was lying on the dragon bed crying because of hunger, but the court ladies and eunuchs outside were laughing, and they even opened the windows on purpose to let the smell of food waft in from outside...

Those people are also forced by the situation, forced?He Xiao Qi is now also in order to survive, he is forced to do so.

The news that he killed all the people in Qianyuan Palace has not been spread yet, but what happened in the early court and just now in Ci'an Palace is already known from top to bottom.On the way to the Chengli Hall, the other palace people hid whenever they could, and those who couldn't hide knelt on the side of the road in an orderly manner, with their heads pressed tightly to the ground, without making a sound.

Xiao Qi looked at those kneeling palace servants with complicated expressions: in his previous life he was in his teens, even if the imperial chariot came in front of these people, some would dare to laugh and play.At that time, courtiers praised him, saying that it was because his generosity was well known.

Humans are assholes...

Xiao Qi muttered in his heart and closed his eyes.

Xiao Qi left, Sun Empress still didn't allow anyone to enter the side hall, she leaned on the couch, regretting her gaffe today.

I thought that the sea and the sky would be brighter from now on, but who knew it would be a bolt from the blue? !

The big one left, and the young one was left behind, but at the age of five, his stomach was full of bad water, so calling him rotten meat is really right!

Empress Sun gritted her teeth, but she also knew that Xiao Qi could not be sent to see his father for a while. When her son was the emperor, she was the empress dowager, and her son was not the emperor. Who was she?

I can only bear it, endure it until... the emperor's grandson is born?

Empress Sun thought, even if an eleven or twelve-year-old boy has reached his age, if he adds some ingredients to his daily diet, it will be no problem for a woman to have a baby seven or eight years later.A baby wouldn't suddenly open its mouth to fight against her, would it?

"Empress Dowager! It's not good!"

"Come in! How inappropriate is it to make such a noise!" Although there were many unseemly things for Empress Sun today, she still had to yell.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." Biyun, the aunt of the court lady who has been following the empress, ran in from outside in panic, "Your Majesty...kill all the maids and eunuchs of Qianyuan Palace...all of them!"

After finishing speaking, Biyun sat down on the ground.The identity of the emperor is there, and there are nearly a hundred people serving in the Qianyuan Palace, inside and outside, and this is all gone.Biyun knew very well what Empress Sun had done, so she wasn't a coward, but how ruthless Empress Sun was, so far she didn't dare to kill so many people at once.This is blatant strangulation!There were timid little maids in the palace who were frightened and went crazy.

What's more, how old is the emperor?Five years old.

Biyun sat on the ground, her face pale and trembling uncontrollably.

Empress Sun was also taken aback, but she suddenly smiled: "What are you afraid of? Let him make trouble and ruin his own reputation."
