Chapter 507

The emperor suddenly died, and the whole country lamented. Princes from all over the country went to Beijing to mourn. The crown prince Yan Xiaoming temporarily took charge of the power, and the officials were in chaos. The empress Chu Yunhan was in charge of 30000 Imperial troops, which spread all over the palace. Yan Shengrui, the prince of Sheng, sent 100000 troops to protect the imperial city. The succession of monarchy was always accompanied by bloodshed and killing. Yan Xiaoming's accession to the throne was no exception Under the protection of the emperor, on the second day of the emperor's funeral, the only 11 year old prince Yan Xiaoming ascended the treasure, and the king came to the world!

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed the country name to Wu. He wanted to pacify the world with martial arts. He respected empress dowager Chu Yun Han, Empress Dowager Ye Guifei, and imperial concubine Ye. All the concubines left by the former Emperor were demobilized. All the women who had served in the East Palace, whether they had a title or not, would all move into the xinei palace. Those who did not want to move to the xinnei palace, and those who did not want to move out of the palace to remarry It is the benevolent government of the new emperor.

At the same time, the new empress dowager issued a decree to the Empress Dowager that the maids would no longer serve the master for life, and they could go out of the palace to marry when they were 20 years old. If they did not want to, they had to comb their hair as mothers and stay in the harem forever. When they got old, they went to the Royal temples to provide for the elderly. Under the rectification of the Empress Dowager and the new emperor, the frightened empress dowager gradually became stable.

In the court, Yan Xiaoming respected Prince Sheng as the Regent prince. His imperial concubine honored him as the emperor's father and conferred the title of emperor Shang to Ling family in Cangzhou. The change of imperial power was also the alternation of courtiers. In addition, the elimination of the same party of the Qian family in the Bai family and the removal of the left Prime Minister Sun Liang, most of the ministers changed positions and injected a large amount of new blood In the dynasty, he was granted the title of servant of Sanpin Hubu, in charge of the Treasury, money and silver, and the new imperial power gradually took shape.

Under the leadership of the new emperor, the imperial court reduced taxes for one year, vigorously promoted agricultural reform and promoted trade and business. The sorghum distillery of Lingjia quickly spread all over the areas with a lot of saline alkali land. The free Hanling college, based on the capital general school, was densely distributed in all the major prefectures. At the same time, the cheap drugstores run by Princess Sheng and the Emperor himself opened all over the country in a short period of two years all places.

Three years later, the Qing state gradually became rich and strong, and all the people praised the new emperor's benevolent policy. At this time, Ling Jinghan, who was originally only the Minister of the Ministry of the Ministry of public affairs, had been the youngest right-wing Prime Minister of the Qing state at the age of 20. Under the leadership of him and the left Prime Minister Sun Liang, the Qing Dynasty became more and more prosperous. On the other hand, the Regent prince also led a large number of people Under the support of strong national strength, the soldiers are equipped with a fine steel knife, and everyone is good at riding and shooting. It can be said that the soldiers are really strong.

In the past three years, there was a big event that no one would dare to think about. Because the production method of the refined steel knife has been leaked to the East, Ling Jingxuan, the imperial concubine of Shengqin, simply joined Xue Wuyang, the new queen of the western country. Two years later, the new emperor of the eastern Kingdom, Qilian City, became the emperor, and announced the refining technology of the refined steel knife. The folk can also refine the refined steel and cast household agricultural appliances If you don't know anything about refining refined steel in a small country, you can send someone to study and exchange with the Qing or the western countries. This is undoubtedly an indirect slap in the face of the East and ridicule what they want at the expense of the two princesses. In the eyes of the West and the Qing States, they are worthless. The new emperor of the East almost vomited blood, and Ling Jingxuan and others also gave a vicious breath!

Three years later, in the court, civil and military officials did not dare to cry, let alone to bully the emperor. Although the new emperor was young, he had the ability to be a overlord. He cared for the people, but he was also domineering. At first, when he first ascended the throne, the courtiers bullied his young, wanton and insolent. But now, the graves of those people are all covered with grass.

Long live my emperor

Surrounded by Sanhu Wansui, the 14-year-old Emperor Yan Xiaoming, dressed in a Golden Dragon Robe, sat down on the Dragon chair and gave a domineering swipe of his right hand: "all of you love your body

"Long live thanks!"

The Minister of civil and military affairs did not dare to intrude. He stood up obediently, which was different from the situation three years ago. Today's ministers are led by Sun Liang and Ling Jinghan, while the military general is still Regent Yan Shengrui. However, there are several new people behind him. In order to catch up with Ling Jinghan, Yuan Shaoqi not only crossed his father to inherit the title of Duke yuan, but also entered Under Yan Shengrui's command, they can be appointed general and marry the right minister as his wife only after they have made military achievements in the future. This is the condition that the old duke promised him to be with Ling Jinghan. He is also working hard for this condition.

"Your Majesty has an order. If you have something to play, you should leave the court if you have nothing to do with it."

Now, Duke Zhao, who is already in charge of the grand internal affairs, goes two steps forward with the whisk. As early as a year ago, the empress Chu Yunhan no longer accompanied the imperial court, and all the matters were left to the new emperor himself.

"Your Majesty, I will play."

The Minister of rites, Mr. Wan, stepped out of the ranks. He was an old minister left by the late emperor. He was related to Gong Shangshu's family in the official department by marriage. He was a courtier who was reserved for his career.

"Come on

Yan Xiaoming, who sits high on the Dragon chair, is dazzling and majestic. At the age of 14, he has taken off his childish innocence and become more and more mature and handsome. He gradually looks like an adult. In addition, he has been practicing martial arts all the year round, and his figure is very slender and even. If he doesn't know his age, many people may think he is an adult.

"Yes

Mr. Wan raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, now that my country is rich and the people are strong and the world is prosperous, your majesty has reached the age of 14. Can we consider the selection of Princess na?"Royal families get married early. In fact, it should have been mentioned for a long time. However, because the first emperor left in a hurry, the new emperor ascended the throne and widely implemented benevolent policies, so it was urgent to make some achievements. Now the court structure is stable, and the people are living a good life. Most importantly, the emperor has grown up, and it is time to consider accepting imperial concubines.

"I seconded it!"

"I'll give you a second opinion."

After thinking about it, Sun Liang of the left Prime Minister stood out one after another to support the memorials of Lord Wan. However, Ling Jinghan and Yan Shengrui, Prince Regent, did not move. They did not move, nor did other people. Yan Xiaoming, who was sitting on the Dragon chair, gave a cold look and a cold smile on his mouth: "is the country rich and the people strong? peace in the world? Where did Wan Aiqing see it? When do I need you to chatter when I get married and have children? "

Now that the Treasury is abundant, it is not wrong, but it still can not afford to consume. Otherwise, they would think that he would not have launched a war against the East until now? What Dongguo did at that time was enough for him to send troops for a crusade, not to mention?? Yan Xiaoming couldn't help but flash his eyes. He had already decided that he would not let the harem drag down the former dynasty like his father. He would marry, but not now, he would only marry his beloved, and he would have only one queen in his life.

"The emperor's descendants are related to the future of our Daqing Dynasty. As soon as possible, we should accept the imperial concubine as soon as possible and open branches and leaves for the royal family, so as to make the people more stable. Please think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

He was aware that he didn't mean to accept the imperial concubine, but Sun Liang and others did not give up easily. The emperor's talent selection is a major event. We should not be careless. "Sun Aiqing means that if I have no children, the world will not be stable?"

It seems that he thought of something. Yan Xiaoming waved to Duke Zhao and whispered a few words. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked down at Sun Liang and others kneeling on the ground. Don't think he doesn't know their intention. I'm afraid their family has already prepared women. Are you ready to send them to the back palace?

"I'm upset, I'm scared!"

"Touch!"

On hearing this, Sun Liang was so scared that he crawled down. Yan Xiaoming suddenly jumped to his feet. The unique peach blossom eyes of Yan's family burst into sharp light: "what do you dare not do? What's your fear? Sun Liang, as well as you, remember clearly to me that you are important officials of the imperial court. The focus of attention should be on the country and the people, not on my harem! peace in the world? Thanks to what you can say, the problems in the southern part of China have not been solved. No news has come back from the new chief secretary sent last month. It is estimated that the situation will be more and more ominous. Outside the country, the east country is covetous, and has long had the ambition to annex our youth. After four years of cultivation and recuperation, the northern barbarians are also ready to move. This is what you call "the rise of the four seas"? I am here today to tell you that if the southern Xinjiang problem is not solved, the eastern country and the north will not be eliminated, and I will never set up the rear! If anyone dares to say one more word, all of them will be beheaded! "

They thought that he was like a father and would be obeyed by any of them? Hum, really think he is a soft persimmon, pinch it casually?

Yan Shengrui and Ling Jinghan, who are also standing in the court hall, look at each other. Both of them see the irony in each other's eyes. Apart from other things, the new emperor has only been on the throne for three years. It's just the time for them to make great plans, but they mention some kind of talent show at this time. Are they not looking for abuse? Moreover, the new emperor was only 14 years old and grew up under the influence of Ling Jingxuan. He did not advocate late marriage and late childbirth in the whole country. Would you like him to marry early? It's impossible for the next life.

"I'm afraid

A group of people crawl lower, even if the heart is still a little dissatisfied with the oath he made, but in this case, no one dare to continue brain pumping.

"Come on, don't be afraid. I don't like to hear you say this. I remember it clearly. Don't take such things to me in the court. I'm not comfortable. Don't try to live a better life for you."

Yan Xiaoming swept away his previous domineering power and waved his hand in disgust. Under the influence of Ling Jingxuan all the year round, he can be regarded as inheriting his mantle. When he should be cruel, he would never be soft hearted and benevolent when he should be kind. As long as they don't come to provoke him, he is still a good emperor.

"Yes"

Sun Liang and others retreated back to the train. After leaving for a while, Zhao an came back with a wooden box in his hand. Yan Xiaoming's eyes flashed a little warm, and his eyes slowly swept over all the people below: "do you have any memorials?"

When all the ministers heard this, they all clamped their tails. He just made a pass. Who dares to stand out and die at this time?

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoming took the wooden box from Zhao'an's hand with a smile, and then continued: "since the Aiqing are all right, I have a big event here. It's an imperial edict. It's witnessed by the old emperor and the Regent prince. Zhao an, read it to Aiqing."

Just now, when Wan Shangshu mentioned his marriage, he remembered that he still owed his sixth uncle and his father a wedding. Now that he has grown up to be in charge of politics, it is time to let his father go and pursue his own happiness.

On hearing that it was the last emperor's edict, all the people raised their heads strangely. Since the former Emperor's edict, why did it appear now? Of course, they did not doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict, it was just a simple doubt. Three years after the death of the former Emperor, the imperial edict appeared too late."It was carried by heaven. The emperor ordered him to marry Zeng Shaoqing, the sixth son of Weiyuan Marquis, three years later, when I was dying, I felt deeply ashamed of Yunhan, the empress of Chu, and was afraid to leave him alone. Three years later, when the crown prince was in charge, he allowed Yunhan to remarry to Zeng Shaoqing, the sixth son of Weiyuan marquis

What?!

The civil and military officials all stare at the big eyes, the Empress Dowager remarried? Was the late emperor mad? If this is passed on, what will the people and other countries think of the royal family in the future? How will future generations evaluate this? Although the great disrespect, almost all people can not help but complain, was the first emperor ill confused?

"You Aiqing also heard that this is the only imperial edict left by my father."

Ignoring their shock, Yan Xiaoming swept his eyes and finally fixed himself on the Minister of rites, Mr. Wan: "Wan Aiqing, I see that you are quite free. You will be responsible for the matter of the Empress Dowager's marriage to the Marquis of Weiyuan. It was decided by the emperor first. The Empress Dowager will marry the emperor's palace, and the stage will be done according to the standard of Li Hou. I will see my father off in person."

After three years, he owes his father and six uncles finally can repay.

"But the emperor?? Is it inappropriate for the Empress Dowager to get married? This is a precedent that has never happened before

Wan Shangshu raised his head and looked at him with a bitter face. The problem is that the Ministry of rites is really responsible for these things. The problem is that he has never been responsible for it, and he has never heard of the Empress Dowager's marriage. Moreover, he has to do it according to the standards of the Empress Dowager?? It's ridiculous.

"What? Do you want to disobey the imperial edict of the late emperor? "

His eyes narrowed dangerously, and Yan Xiaoming's momentum suddenly changed. Wan Shangshu got scared and knelt down: "I dare not!"

Today, he is scared to death. He was reprimanded by the emperor before, but now he is charged with disobeying the imperial edict of the late emperor. No more ministers can be found than him. Even if others are dissatisfied, they dare not stand out and look for death. Emperor Wanyi, like when he first ascended the throne, could not easily be pulled out and beheaded by the imperial army Who do you want to cry for?

"Precedents were made by people. They did not exist before, which does not mean that they can not have them now and in the future. This edict was made under the witness of the old patriarch and Regent of Yan's royal family. As the emperor's intention, I had to act according to the orders. This was settled. Zhao an then went to Weiyuan marquis to make an order and let them start to prepare for everything after they married their father, The Ministry of rites chose the most recent auspicious day to announce the dowry of the Empress Dowager

At the end of the speech, Yan Xiaoming leaves, leaving behind a room of Ministers who are shocked and unable to return to their senses for a long time.

"Brother Rui returns to the palace or Jingyun villa today?"

Other people can't react. It doesn't mean that Ling Jinghan and others who have already known about it can't react. The villas outside the city have already been built. Ling Jingxuan himself named Jingyun villa. Now they basically live outside the city. In Lingjia village, except the old song dynasty and song genniu couple, they all moved to the capital. At first, they were afraid that they would not be used to living in Jingyun mountain After Zhuang, they slowly found that no matter how their identity changed, they or they had not changed at all.

"Jingyun villa!"

Isn't the answer obvious? His wife and children are outside the city. How could he stay in the empty palace alone?

"Well, I'll go back to yamen later. The local exam is about to start. I have to go back to cheer Xiaowen and give them encouragement. If I'm less than ten years old, I'll be a scholar. I'm really ashamed to be a second uncle!"

As they walked, they said that Xiaobao would be ten years old by the end of this year. Last year, the teacher of the college suggested that Xiaowen should take an examination of Tongsheng. Even if he failed, it would be regarded as accumulated experience. Who knows, Xiaowu and all of them are enthusiastic to join in the fun. Moreover, everyone has passed the examination. Ling Wen, who vowed to be a senior official when he was a child, was admitted with a good result of the first place This is not, they a happy, and want to go to the examination of scholar, that group of children, more and more wonderful.
