Chapter 206
The next day, early morning.

"kneel!"

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, the crown on his head covered his eyebrows and eyes, and the courtiers who were prostrate at their feet, who dared to face the face of the sky.

Eunuch Liu didn't cry out, and the kneeling courtiers didn't dare to get up until the emperor's gentle voice came from next to his ear: "Read it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Liu took out the imperial decree that had been prepared and shouted in a voice that everyone could hear: "By God, the Emperor Zhao said: Since I came to the throne, I have been diligent in participating in politics and dare not slack in the slightest. However, I am exhausted physically and mentally recently. Therefore, I set up a cabinet, appointed the Minister of the Ministry of Officials as the head and assistant, the Minister of the Ministry of War as the Grand Scholars of the Cabinet, and the Wise King as the Grand Scholars of the Palace Pavilion. They have the right to discuss politics, but not the power to make decisions. This is my honor.”

After reading, Eunuch Liu asked all the ministers to stand up. The news of the establishment of the cabinet undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the hearts of the ministers, and they discussed it regardless of the order of the court.

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do...!"

Eunuch Liu ignored the ministers who were whispering to each other below, his heart was like an ant on a hot pot, but his face did not show the slightest anxiety.

Who would have known that the emperor, who was fine yesterday, has changed his personality today, acting like a child, and kept silently saying in his heart: nothing, nothing, must be nothing!

When you are afraid of something, something will come again.

The virtuous king stood up in the team: "Your Majesty, the ministers are dissatisfied. The matter of setting up a cabinet is of great importance. Don't act so recklessly. Besides, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the head and assistant, and the minister is the first to refuse to accept. The Minister of the Ministry of War is also the same."

King Xian turned his head to look at the Minister of the Ministry of War in the crowd. He believed that as long as an ambitious person would not agree, the Minister of the Ministry of War was in charge of military affairs. He did not believe that the Minister of the Ministry of War would be subservient to others.

The Minister of the Ministry of War stood up, with a smile on his ravine face: "Submission, the emperor's arrangement, there must be the emperor's reason, minister, cabinet scholar, willing to serve my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War knelt down, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also knelt down and shouted. Both of them knelt, and they belonged to their respective forces. There was no reason not to kneel.

Just this time, those who judged the situation in the court also knelt down a lot, and those who stood there became the target of public criticism, and the virtuous king had no choice but to succumb.

"Your servants would like to abide by the holy order, long live my emperor, long live long live long live!"

As the morning came to an end, everything was dusted.

The anger of the virtuous king was buried under the aspirations of the people, and he could never stand up again.

The matter of conquering Japan is just like this...

In June, the emperor's true eldest prince was born, and the eldest prince's biological mother died because of dystocia for the remaining prince.

Gu Nian raised it under her feet and regarded it as her descendant.

In July, the heavens celebrated together, and the eldest prince was registered as the crown prince. In December of the same year, the emperor died of illness, the crown prince ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the queen mother supervised the country.

The chief assistant of the cabinet abdicated, and was succeeded by a cabinet scholar and former Minister of the Ministry of War. For the other cabinet members, Gu Nian selected officials with outstanding abilities and belonged to his own side.

The era created by the first emperor was completely hidden in the torrent.

"My mother, the Tai Tuo punished me again today, and ordered the Tai Concubine to say that I am the lord of the world, and no one can hurt me, but the Tai Tuo, the Tai Tuo beat me with a ruler. Look, my son's palms are swollen .”

The four-year-old emperor nestled in Gu Nian's arms, with a mournful face and a look of resentment, as if he didn't understand what the concubine said, he was the master and the grand master was a minister, no one dared to do anything to him.

But why, why was he still beaten...

Gu Nian is watching the court memorial, the emptiness of the treasury is still a headache.

She rubbed her swollen eyes, then smiled, took the emperor's little hand, and blew on it: "Okay, okay, it won't hurt if the mother blows."

He hugged the emperor and let him sit on his lap: "Why did the Taifu beat the emperor today? Is there any reason?"

The emperor's immature childish voice said: "The Tai Tuo said that women are not allowed to participate in politics. He said that from ancient times to the present, no woman dared to criticize the affairs of the government. He also said, said..."

Seeing that the emperor couldn't remember, Gu Nian turned to look at the little eunuch who was serving the emperor: "What else did the Taifu say? The Ai family wants to hear."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Gu Nianmei stared, and the maids and eunuchs who were serving in the room all knelt on the ground in fright.

Since the first emperor died of illness, the queen was promoted to the empress dowager, the coercion on her body is like the appearance of an emperor, no wonder it will arouse the admonition of the Taifu.

The Taifu didn't punish the emperor, but he just used the emperor's mouth to accuse the queen mother of not being able to interfere in politics.

"Say it! The Ai family wants to hear what else the master said."

The little eunuch trembled all over and said tremblingly: "He also said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also learned the lesson of Lu Zhi's meddling in politics in the Gaozu era, and once again proposed that the harem should not be involved in politics. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: Since ancient times, the country has had turmoil because the monarch was young. Because of the young mother, the heroine is arbitrary, arrogant and wanton, no one can control her."

"Oh, is that so?" The light words were like a heavy hammer hitting the servant's heart.

Gu Nian lowered her head, stroked the emperor's little face, and asked softly, "The Taifu has already said so, how did you answer the emperor? Do you think the queen mother cares too much?"

The young prince shook his head: "I went back to the Grand Tutor and said that women cannot participate in politics because men are incompetent and unable to subdue women. Although I am young, I know what is good and what is wrong. I only do this arbitrarily, and you are impossible, my mother. I also said , and said..."

The emperor thought for a while before saying: "I also said that I am young now, and my mother and queen are not allowed to do politics. Do you want ministers to do politics, like Liu Xie, who was forced by powerful ministers to control the emperor to order the princes? Therefore, the Taifu was so angry that he didn't dare You scolded me angrily, and you said it was your mother's fault behind your back, and I argued with him a few words, but he slapped me on the palm of my hand."

Gu Nian felt sympathetic, as if she could empathize with the anger and fear that the young emperor felt when he refuted the Taifu.

There are mixed feelings in my heart, but joy is always accounted for. Thank you.It seems that in the past four years, her painstaking efforts were not in vain.

"Well said! The empress's good son." She hugged the emperor even tighter. After a long time, she squatted on the ground and looked at the emperor at the same level. She looked into the emperor's eyes and said word by word: "Your majesty, you must grow up quickly. When you are 14 years old and you can take charge of the government, the Ai family will definitely delegate power, you believe in the Ai family!"

"Elder Chen Xin!"

In the 14th year of the new calendar, the emperor's 14th birthday had just passed, and Gu Nian announced that the power belonged to the emperor.

In September of the same year, the Empress Dowager died of illness in Yongshou Palace.

……

Gu Nian stood in the Hu Tianxue, stroking the pale hair on his temples, smiling at An Shaoyu, his pupils cut by Qiushui, still the same as before.

"Love the green shirt, still dyed with withered fragrance, and sigh the snow on the temples."

"I'm old now, am I ugly?"

An Shaoyu will pull out the hairpin that Gu Nian wears, and pull out a newly carved one from his sleeve: "You have always been beautiful, An Shaoyu has loved you the most in his life."

The two of them stood side by side, and after so many years of being trapped in the deep palace, they could finally stop thinking about other things.

Their faltering steps could not stop them from moving forward.

One day, Gu Nian was thinking of having fun on the way to the water village in the south of the Yangtze River. When he was crossing the winding stream, a woman behind him shouted: "Wang'er, Wang'er... Mom can't keep up with you, walk slowly!" .”

"understood!"

When Gu Nian approached, he saw a familiar face.

"The emperor..."

Chen Yuying just uttered a word, but was stopped by Gu Nian's eyes: "Ma'am, you are polite, my husband and I are traveling around, and I want to ask Madam how far we have to go to Jiangnan?"

Chen Yuying was a little dazed, thinking that she was hallucinating, but looking at Gu Nian's face that she would never forget for the rest of her life, she said in horror, "Ma'am, go eastward and walk another 120 miles and you will be there."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and said: "Madam, if you are not in a hurry, my son-in-law is going to Jiangnan for business in a few days. Why don't we go together, so we can have a companion."

Gu Nian shook his head, and said briskly: "Madam, you and I have never met before, so I won't bother you this time. But seeing Madam's face is radiant, I think it means that the children are filial, safe and happy."

Chen Yuying smiled knowingly: "Yes, children are filial, and they will be happy in this life."

Some people just know they are doing well.

They met two women in the water village in the south of the Yangtze River again. They had a son and a daughter in their knees. They were shrouded in rain and fog in the water village in the south of the Yangtze River, and they couldn't hide the smiles at the corners of their mouths.

"That's Yu Zhaoyi and Zhao Jieyu, right?"

"Maybe, who knows?"

Gu Nian took An Shaoyu's hand and walked on the simple stone road.
