Rong Shang smiled inexplicably, and asked: "Yesterday, the Duke of Hui'an asked the minister to return the government to his superiors. Today, His Majesty went to see the Duke of Ang after finally leaving the palace. What do you think of the minister?"

Listening to his questioning, Ming Chuan said in a calm manner: "Since my mother and concubine left, I have no contact with An Guogong's mansion. When I saw him today, I hurriedly called my daughter up before the chair was warmed up. I'm too anxious. Even if the national teacher doesn't come to pick me up, I will have to leave.

Hearing that Rongshang finally softened his face a little, he pulled him to his side, rubbed his knuckles against Ming Chuan's side face, and said casually: "It's so easy for you to go back to the palace, and there is no one around you, such good opportunities are not many , of course he is impatient."

Ming Chuan sighed slightly: "This blood relationship is really shallow."

Rong Shang embraced him, stroked his temples, and said in a very cold tone, "These things are useless."

Rong Shang sent Ming Chuan back to the Zichen Hall, stretched out his hand to straighten Li Ming Chuan's messy collar, and said, "I've been running for a day today, go to rest early, and you don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Ming Chuan nodded obediently, and watched Rong Shang leave.Yan Ke followed him and asked aloud, "Does Your Majesty want to take a bath first?"

Ming Chuan nodded, squinted his eyes and yawned like a sleepy cat.The palace staff quickly prepared the hot water. Behind the screen, Ming Chuan sank into the hot water, with fresh hickey marks on his neck and chest.

Yan Ke moved his eyes away, raised his hand to part his hair, and scooped up hot water to wet it.

"What kind of person do you think Zhang Xinyuan is?" Ming Chuan asked suddenly.

Yan Ke paused, and replied: "Mr. Zhang has a pure heart and a clear mind."

Ming Chuan smiled lightly, and Yan Ke asked, "Your Majesty thinks something is wrong?"

Ming Chuan didn't answer, but instead said: "You know, I'm very accurate in judging people, just like you, the first time I saw you, I thought you were a person with a story."

Yan Ke didn't speak, and Ming Chuan didn't get annoyed. He said to himself, "It's been ten years since I ascended the throne at the age of eight. Every court meeting, I have nothing to do, either catch up on sleep or be in a daze. The ministers stand below, and I sit on the throne. Above. They can't see me, but I can see them. I see them day by day, year by year, and see through them all."

Yan Ke opened his mouth and asked, "Does Master Guo know?" As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. At this time, he always felt a little disappointed when he mentioned Master Guo.

Fortunately, Ming Chuan didn't care about it, he just smiled and said: "He doesn't care."

After returning from outside the palace, Ming Chuan had a new place to go, and often went to the palace wall.

When the weather is fine, Ming Chuan lies on the couch basking in the sun, Yan Ke stands aside, and behind him are a few little eunuchs carrying chairs.The wind in March is very gentle, blowing on people, making people feel a lot lighter.

"I didn't think so before, but now I go out and come back again, I always feel that the palace is boring and the sky is lower than outside." Ming Chuan leaned on his arm, squinted at the sky, and complained leisurely.

Yan Ke lowered his eyes, and now the court is falling out, but this one is still thinking about these things.

At today's court meeting, the national teacher took the lead in launching an attack, accusing An Guogong of spying on the holy car and harboring evil intentions. If it weren't for the protection of several clans, An Guogong would have to be imprisoned immediately.

Several clans also joined forces to ask His Majesty to choose a concubine to enrich the harem, and the national teacher pushed her away on the grounds that Chunxi was coming soon.Few people in the cabinet and the six ministries opposed the national teacher. They had nothing to ask for from the little emperor, and they were even less willing to let their own daughter enter the palace as a puppet concubine.

But it is obvious that this matter will not stop there, and this controversy finally spread to the little emperor.

The person who came was Rong Huo, an attendant of the national teacher, and he came to invite Mingchuan Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters.

Ming Chuan showed surprise, and said: "If there is something to do, the national teacher should be the master."

Rong Huo said: "My lord, please your Majesty the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters."

Ming Chuan and Yan Ke looked at each other and said, "Then go and have a look."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there is not only the national teacher alone, but also Mingchuan's emperor Zhao Wang, An Guogong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Xu, and the Minister of Rites, Mr. Sun.

Seeing Ming Chuan coming, everyone saluted one after another. Ming Chuan sat on the throne and said, "Excuse me, everyone."

Zhao Wang took the lead in attacking: "The national teacher repeatedly obstructed the selection of the concubine, and his heart can be punished. I ask your majesty to take the side of the king!"

Rong Shang didn't seem to hear Zhao Wang's words, so he stood beside Ming Chuan and said, "Zhao Wang and An Guogong have some objections to the selection of the concubine, what does your majesty think?"

Ming Chuan said: "Didn't the Highness talk about this matter, we will discuss it later."

Zhao Wangqi's face was blue and purple, "Your Majesty knows that the selection of concubines and successors is the foundation of the Jin Dynasty, and it is a matter that can be discussed later!"

Ming Chuan was a little funny: "Uncle Huang thinks that the foundation of the Jin Dynasty depends on a woman?"

Zhao Wang immediately knelt down when he heard the words: "I don't have that intention."

An Guogong watched anxiously, and said: "The sooner your Majesty stands up, the sooner you can take charge of the government!"

Ming Chuan asked: "Why does Mr. An have to let me be in charge?"

An Guogong was stunned: "This, isn't this justified?"

Ming Chuan smiled: "Does An Guogong really think that the country under my rule will be better than the country under the State Teacher's rule?"

An Guogong was speechless for a moment.But Xu Shoufu raised his head and glanced at Ming Chuan with complicated eyes.

Rong Shang did not speak from the beginning to the end, and looked at Ming Chuan shallowly. Ming Chuan glanced at the people under his highness, and said: "If there is nothing else, everyone should step down."

The adults saluted and retreated.

Ming Chuan got up and asked, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Does Your Majesty hate the minister?" Rong Shang suddenly said.

Ming Chuan gave him a surprised look and shook his head.Rong Shang held his hands behind his back and said, "Is it not hatred, or resentment?"

This time Ming Chuan was silent, and Rong Shang smiled lightly: "My Ming'er has also tasted resentment."

Ming Chuan asked him, "Why?"

Why do you do that to me.

Rong Shang lowered his eyes and looked at him: "You were raised by my side, and I taught you every word and deed. I taught a caring person according to my own will. If I don't use it, will it be cheaper for others?"

Ming Chuan frowned: "Where did someone else come from?"

Rong Shang said: "Even if there is no one else, why don't you think about going out of the palace every day?"

These words made Ming Chuan feel a little guilty, he turned his eyes away and didn't look at Rong Shang, but fortunately Rong Shang didn't mean to argue with him, he just said: "Stay in peace in the palace, if you don't obey, I will give you a discount on your legs."

This sentence is clearly familiar, he touched his nose, answered the sentence, and led Yan Ke out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Mr. Xu returned home with a lot of worries, the first thing he did was to order someone to invite his friends.Not long after his friend arrived, Mr. Xu closed the door and stayed with him in the study, and told the story of what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The friend also had a complicated expression after hearing this. After a long time, he sighed: "Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch. If there is no national teacher, I will definitely devote all my life's learning to assist Your Majesty to become a wise monarch. What a pity!"

Back at the Zichen Palace, Ming Chuan tossed and turned and didn't think of where the "others" came from. He followed the national teacher since he was a child, and had a few companions when he was a child. Later, the national teacher held great power, and standing on the emperor's side was really not flattering. Several companions were taken back by the family one after another.

His last companion at the time also left, saying that he had been released to become an official.He has no impression of these people. When he was a child, he asked the national teacher what a companion is, and the national teacher told him that a companion is similar to a eunuch, just treat the companion as an eunuch.

After thinking about it, Ming Chuan didn't think there was anything wrong, so he called Shang Yan Ke to go out for a walk, and when he went out, he found two paper kites in the southwest sky.

Ming Chuan suddenly became interested, turned around and asked Yan Ke: "Let's go play too."

Yan Ke reminded him: "It's against the rules."

Ming Chuan smiled: "There are too many things that do not comply with the rules."

Yan Ke had no choice but to ask someone to find Zhi Yuan.Looking for an open space in front of the court, Yan Ke held a kite in his hand, turned his head, and found that the little eunuch had already set up a chair, Ming Chuan was lying on it, and there was a plate of small oranges by his hand.

Yan Ke was puzzled: "Didn't Your Majesty want to release paper kites?"

Ming Chuan nodded: "I'll wait for it to fly before releasing it, and one is too monotonous, you all go." He waved to the palace people in the yard and told them all to play.

For a while, there were laughter and laughter in the yard, and the sky was colorful. Yan Ke came over holding the string of the kite: "Your Majesty, be careful."

Ming Chuan took it, but didn't get up, still half lying down, looking up at the sky with squinted eyes.The kite is flying very high, if the string is broken now, I am afraid it will fall outside the palace.

Ming Chuan looked at it for a while, then returned the string to Yan Ke, and Yan Ke tied the kite string to the side of the chair.After finishing it, he stood beside Ming Chuan and watched the eunuchs and maids laughing.

Such good weather didn't last long, and within a few days, it began to rain.Ming Chuan still wanted to go to the palace wall to bask in the sun, but he never thought that when he opened the door, it would be raining continuously.

Yan Ke was afraid that he would be unhappy—he would not have many things to do in this palace, so he persuaded: "I don't think it will take long, Your Majesty can sit in the room."

Ming Chuan didn't mean to be unhappy at all, and said: "Rain is also a good thing. Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the people can have a good harvest." He ordered: "The Nanbei Hall is next to the Imperial Garden, and there is running water under the corridor. There are many Koi, let's feed the fish."

Yan Ke immediately asked someone to take the cloak, and followed Ming Chuan to the South Side Hall.The weather outside was gloomy, with layers of dark clouds, and the drizzle fell into the lake, causing circle after circle of ripples.

Ming Chuan stood on the porch, holding fish food in his hand, and sprinkled it a little, attracting koi to swarm over, and some of them even jumped out of the water, with glistening water on their bodies.

Behind Ming Chuan, Yan Ke and a young eunuch didn't know what to say, Yan Ke waved his hand, while the little eunuch was waiting, he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. An is asking to see you."

Ming Chuan said: "Look for the national teacher if you have something to do."

Yan Ke said: "Mr. An said that he would greet His Majesty in person."

Ming Chuan thought for a while and asked, "Does the national teacher know?"

Yan Ke said: "The national teacher said, you can see if you want."

Ming Chuan held the fish food and thought for a while and said, "I don't want to change my clothes anymore, let someone come here directly."

"Yes."

Yan Ke went down, and not long after, An Guogong in court uniform came over, stood far outside the corridor and began to salute: "I respectfully invite Sheng An."

Ming Chuan waited for him to finish the salute, and then said: "Mr. An, you don't need to be too polite, it's raining outside, come in and talk." He turned his head to the little eunuch and raised his chin: "Bring me a chair."

An Guogong came in, his body was still damp, Ming Chuan said: "Sit."

An Guogong hurriedly said: "The old minister dare not."

Ming Chuan smiled: "Mr. An is also my elder. A chair is not in the way."

An Guogong sat down tremblingly.

Ming Chuan exchanged greetings with him: "Is grandma okay?"

"Okay, since my mother met His Majesty, her spirit has improved a lot. When I went to pay my respects today, I heard my mother say that I want to enjoy the rain with some girls."

"It's a good thing." Mingchuan told Yan Ke: "Go to the warehouse and find a century-old ginseng, and bring it back to An Guogong later."

"Yes."

An Guogong got up again: "The old minister thanked His Majesty for the reward on behalf of the mother."

Ming Chuan asked people to sit down, and Fang asked, "What's the matter with Mr. An seeing me?"

An Guogong looked at the eunuchs and maids on the left and right, he hesitated to speak, Ming Chuan glanced at Yan Ke, Yan Ke understood, and told everyone to go down.

Yan Ke was the only one around to wait on him. During this time, Duke An got up from his chair, raised his clothes and knelt down: "I know that your majesty is currently being constrained, and I am willing to do my best for your majesty. I just ask your majesty to see clearly the traitor. Face the face of the people, take charge of the government as soon as possible, and rectify the foundation of the country!"

These words are sonorous and powerful, which really makes people's blood boil.It's a pity that it's cold today, Ming Chuan can't boil, he said with a smile: "I thought Mr. An was going to say something new."

An Guogong looked at Ming Chuan: "Your Majesty, you have learned a lesson. The traitors of the merchants have dominated the government for many years, causing the imperial power to fall aside. Your Majesty lives with grievances. Seeing this, the old minister really feels like a knife!"

He probably thought that Ming Chuan's evasion in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was due to Rong Shang's threat.

Ming Chuan smiled lightly, and said: "I asked you this sentence once, and now I ask you again, why do you insist on letting me govern?"

An Guogong obviously came prepared, he said: "Your Majesty's destiny will definitely be more prosperous than that under Rong Shang's rule, so don't underestimate yourself."

Hearing this, Ming Chuan felt it was amused: "Rong Shang is a direct descendant of Jiuyi Mountain, the late emperor once praised him as the unparalleled national scholar. An Guogong thinks highly of me."

Anguo Gongdao: "Old minister..."

"You don't want to say it, let me tell you." Ming Chuan interrupted him: "National teachers manage politics, and people with lofty ideals from poor families who come from the imperial examination are reused. The power of the aristocratic family and the clan has been weakened repeatedly. I have no real power. The mother clan and the clan are just one Decoration. Only when I govern personally, you, the relatives of the emperor and the country, can have both face and sympathy."

An Guogong had already knelt on the ground, feeling that he had underestimated the puppet emperor: "I have no such intention!"

Ming Chuan didn't cry out, and his tone was calm, as if chatting: "Instead of finding a way out of me, An Guogong, it's better to train your children and grandchildren, three generations and two generations, why worry about the day of recovery? Or, An Guogong forgot The means of the national teacher? I was young at that time, and I only heard rumors that the blood at Caishikou in Dongshi was thickened, and it was not true or false."

Yan Ke watched An Guogong leave with a pale face, and looked back at Mingchuan, only to see him sitting by the porch holding fish food in a daze.

"His Majesty?"

Ming Chuan came back to his senses: "Go back."

"Your Majesty won't feed the fish?"

"If you feed them any more, they will be exhausted." Ming Chuan lowered his eyes, "Remember what you eat or not."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Rong Huo stood in the hall and recounted what happened here, what the little emperor and An Guogong said one by one.Seeing Rong Shang twirling the ring on his index finger, he said after a long time, "I only rewarded one ginseng, how stingy."
