Chongzheng Hall is located in the depths of the Great Interior, close to the northernmost back garden of the imperial city, is the place where the emperor stays most often, and the activities of Zhufan Palace, prisoners, official summoning and introduction, and selecting and eliminating forbidden soldiers are all carried out here. Of course, there are also military leaders who present martial arts trials and martial arts performances, which are also here.

For the current emperor, the Chongzheng Hall has another meaning. Since ascending the throne at the age of thirteen, the Queen Mother has always listened to the government, and she didn't feel it at a young age, but now ten years have passed, and she is already in her twenties.

The Queen Mother hangs the curtain and listens to the government in the Duanming Hall next to it, and this Chongzheng Hall is the private place of the Son of Heaven, and there is relatively no restraint in doing anything, and the little emperor likes to stay here when he has nothing to do.

Today's Chongzheng Hall is particularly lively, Shi Quanbin, who came back from Yongzhou, brought Xu Ping's good news of Jiaozhi's victory, and also brought back a variety of novelties, to demonstrate the victory in the hall to the little emperor.

Near the palace gate, Liu Yongnian led a group of teenagers, holding wooden knives and swords, eager to try.

Liu Yongnian is the son of Liu Congde, his father died early, he was raised in the palace since he was a child, and he was only allowed to live outside the palace at the age of twelve.

Liu Congde has no talent and no virtue, but he relies on the favor of the Empress Dowager Liu, and he has been prosperous and rich all his life, but he has nothing to do with others. This son is completely different from his father, he has been painting and calligraphy since he was a child, and he is full of courage, and he is not under the ordinary generals in dancing and swords, and he can be described as both civil and military.

The little emperor loved him very much, and he often took him with him since he was a child, so much so that he caused the ministers to discuss and forcibly let him move out of the palace.

Speaking of Liu Yongnian, we can't help but talk about the little emperor's lace news.

It is said that when the queen was elected, the little emperor took a fancy to a girl surnamed Wang in the queen mother's hometown. But the Queen Mother thought that this girl was too beautiful and not suitable. Don't choose the current Empress Guo. Turn your head. married the unsuccessful girl to her ex-husband's son Liu Congde, who is also Liu Yongnian's mother. Liu Congde died early, and the young widowed Mrs. Liu often went in and out of the palace in the name of visiting the queen mother, and the little emperor raised Liu Yongnian by his side since he was a child. All these things add up, and there are rumors in the capital that the little emperor has an affair with Mrs. Liu, and Liu Yongnian is actually the illegitimate son of the little emperor.

This kind of thing is true or false. The people of the capital have always been big-mouthed, and there are too many rumors, and the ministers of the foreign dynasty can't really check the truth of this matter, and the little emperor has always given people a handle in his private life, especially in the affairs of men and women, so he worked together to expel Liu Yongnian from the palace.

Although he can no longer live in the palace, Liu Yongnian can still enter and leave the palace freely, and in a lively scene like today, he will lead a group of young people from outside the clan to play the attacking Jiaozhi army.

Shi Quanbin took a few small yellow doors and played the defensive Song army. I carefully fiddled with all kinds of utensils and checked them to be correct. Shi Quanbin said to the little emperor: "Official, everything is ready. Listen to you! ”

The little emperor waved his hand excitedly and said, "It's ready, let's start!" ”

Liu Yongnian, who was next to the palace gate, made a military salute in a similar manner: "Obey the edict!" ”

After speaking, with a wave of the wooden knife in his hand, he led people to rush towards the small yellow doors in the hall.

This young man has grown up in the palace since he was a child, a prince-like figure, Xiao Huangmen has always been used to being respectful, and when he suddenly saw him rushing towards him, he couldn't help but panic.

Shi Quanbin knocked on the head of the little yellow door next to him, and scolded in his mouth: "I, the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I be caught off guard!" Don't fire the cannon yet! ”

Xiao Huangmen came to his senses and ordered the miniature cannon in front of him in a panic.

With a bang, a pea flew out of the muzzle, and it was in the lower abdomen of Liu Yongnian, who rushed in.

Seeing that Liu Yongnian didn't care, Shi Quanbin hurriedly shouted: "Da Lang, you have been shot, why don't you fall?" I can't go on this way! ”

Liu Yongnian picked up the peas that fell to the ground, and said disdainfully: "I am a battlefield general who is stubborn and sharp, how can a pea defeat me?" ”

Shi Quanbin said helplessly: "When we perform martial arts in front of the official family in our palace, we naturally use peas. If it is on the battle array, what is hit in the cannon is a boulder as big as a head, not to mention Dalang, and he is also defeated in his prime! ”

Liu Yongnian was still unconvinced, looked at the little emperor sitting upright, and asked loudly: "Official, am I going to fall like this?" It's child's play! ”

"Poured, poured!" The little emperor smiled and waved his hand, "You are now playing a Jiaozhi general, and you have been hit by my Great Song Dynasty's cannon, how can you not fall!" ”

Liu Yongnian was helpless, and slowly fell to the ground with a knife with a bitter face, shaking his hands and feet on the ground unwillingly.

Seeing that the leader fell to the ground with a shot, the other teenagers were stunned, looking left and right in place, hesitating whether to continue the attack.

When Liu Yongnian saw it, he was so angry that he lay on the ground and slammed his fist on the ground: "On the battle array, how can you look left and right!" The two armies intersect, and they should move forward bravely, but you should not hurry forward and kill! ”

The little yellow men won the first battle, and immediately came to the courage, fiddling with mini crossbow arrows, re-stuffing gunpowder into the artillery to fill peas, and were busy for a while.

At that time, there were more than 10,000 troops in Jiaozhi, but after a few rounds of shelling, they collapsed under the rain of arrows.

Seeing that a group of teenagers fell to the ground one after another, the little emperor was overjoyed, and asked Shi Quanbin on the side: "You are playing martial arts, it is difficult for you to win so easily?" ”

"The official family is a clear jian, the battle in the valley that day, the small one witnessed with his own eyes, in just half a day, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were annihilated, and there were no casualties in my Great Song Dynasty. I used my life up and down in the Great Song Dynasty, and Xu Ping commanded properly, which was much easier to win than what was shown in the palace today. ”

Liu Yongnian jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Pavilion Chief, you are exaggerating too much, swords and guns meet each other on the battle formation, arrows are flying, how can you win a battle without getting close?" Just now, we haven't gone through the battle formation, and the formation is chaotic, why don't we try again? ”

Ma Jiliang is Liu Yongnian's uncle, although he himself has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has only heard a little about the dispute between the Ma family and the Xu family, he is still prejudiced against Xu Ping in his heart, how can he be willing to grow Xu Ping's face easily?

The little emperor was on the rise, and was just about to promise Liu Yongnian's words, when a small yellow door standing at the door came in and said, "Official." The imperial medicine is offered to Luo Chongxun and asks to see! ”

This is the red and purple character next to the Queen Mother. The little emperor did not dare to slack off. Hurry up to him and enter the temple.

Chongzheng Hall is the emperor's daily handling of government affairs, the place to meet the ministers, since Emperor Zhenzong, in order to prevent the leakage of court secrets, there are internal servants and soldiers inside and outside the guard, doors and windows are covered, not a place where you can enter if you want to. With Luo Chongxun's status, he can't enter just as he wants.

Got the will. Luo Chongxun saluted the little emperor, and said with a calm face: "The queen mother's decree, the little one came to ask the official, why did you stop the feast today?" ”

In the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, they were diligent in government affairs, set the rules of the Japanese dynasty, and went to the court before dawn, and then summoned the ministers to deal with political affairs, often until late at night. The body of the late stage of the True Sect does not allow it. It was changed to two days and has continued until now. There are fewer days for the little emperor to go to court. But there are rules for the daily routine, in the morning to the court to see things, with the queen mother in the palace with the minister to deal with political affairs, in the afternoon is a feast, with a few famous Confucian ministers to study, in the evening often with the queen mother to hang the curtain council.

Today, I want to see Shi Quanbin's martial arts performance in the palace, so I will stop the feast. Because the Queen Mother has been unwell these days, the little emperor took matters into his own hands and did not ask the Queen Mother for leave, but he didn't expect the Queen Mother to send someone to ask for the guilt after she found out.

Empress Dowager Liu has always been strict, and she has been extremely strict with the little emperor, not only controlling the country's major policies, but also asking about the little emperor's diet and daily life, and even Yang Guifei, who has taken the little emperor since childhood, has to be carefully followed. A habit developed since childhood, the little emperor has always been a little afraid of the queen mother.

Hearing Luo Chongxun ask himself on behalf of the Empress Dowager, the little emperor hurriedly got up and said: "Shi Tingbin came back from Yongzhou, and today he will demonstrate the battle of Yongzhou in the palace, so he will temporarily stop the feast for one day." The eldest lady has been in poor health recently, and she didn't want to distract him, but she didn't tell him. ”

Luo Chongxun said: "For the affairs of Yongzhou, the Queen Mother is very worried, but I didn't expect the official family to still watch these children's tricks here!" Just now, Lu Xianggong took the minister to the palace to ask for the right, and he was talking about Yongzhou! The Queen Mother has asked them to go to Duanming Hall for a while, and the official family has also passed quickly! ”

This little emperor, that is, Emperor Renzong in the history of Xu Ping's previous life, has always been known for his generosity and no temper, and these inner servants under him, especially the inner servants who are just red in front of the Queen Mother, have always had no rules in front of him. Since I was a child, I have been used to it, and today I am also accustomed to Luo Chongxun's face.

Of course, whether the little emperor has a temper or not, outsiders will not know. But judging from his various deeds, he is afraid that he still has a temper, but it is just covered up by his shocking restraint.

Empress Dowager Liu is a strict mother, from childhood to adulthood, she manages the little emperor to death. And Yang Guifei, who was in charge of the daily life of the little emperor, was completely different, she was full of doting on the little emperor, and even fought against the strict rules set by the Empress Dowager Liu with him.

Raised by such two mothers, the little emperor can still be equally close to the two, and he is not like ordinary children who are good to themselves, who hates them, and his bearing and knowledge are extraordinary.

In the history of Xu Ping's previous life, this characteristic of Emperor Renzong almost ran through his life. In business, he behaved extremely restrained, and was sprayed by Bao Zheng and wiped his face as if he was fine. But in private matters, he is very capricious, almost unreasonable, abolishing the queen and establishing the queen, and no one can persuade him to posthumously crown the person he likes as the queen. pampered the eldest daughter Princess Ankang, all kinds of broken rules, caused the biggest scandal of the princess of the Song Dynasty, and the successive emperors were slandered, and Shenzong even made special rules for this.

In history, Renzong should be said to regard being an emperor as his profession, and he was not very keen on this profession. However, he showed a high level of professional ethics and played this role with due diligence.

Until the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the historical Renzong was not highly evaluated in the eyes of the Song people, and the so-called "Emperor Renzong did not know everything, but he would be an official". Because he was not very satisfied with the emperor's job, he rarely took bold initiatives, but he was extremely professional and treated the emperor as if he were a person.

And today, the changes that Xu Ping brought to the world finally really affected the little emperor, he must make a choice, after the choice, can he still be the emperor with the mentality of a small clerk?

(I kept saying that I would add more after I had the alliance leader, but I couldn't add it after so many days, and I felt that my words were about to lose credibility.) Today, I have completed this commitment, and I feel much more relaxed. The two watches in the evening are as usual, thank you for your support. (To be continued.) )
