I thought it was just the past and the present

042

Xiao Qi returned to the Hall of Chengli, waved away the crowd, and sat on the soft bed alone in a daze.

It was within his expectation that Fengtian Palace would frighten Empress Sun away, but what happened afterwards... He really didn't expect it to be so easy, and Empress Sun did not respond properly at all.Judging from the situation of Ci'an Palace, within half a day after Queen Sun returned to the palace, it was just... a bad thing?Weeping bitterly?hysteria?

Xiao Qi did everything today with the feeling of perishing together, with the feeling of being starved to death 11 years earlier and wanting to resist, but is this the result?

From the very beginning, his mother was not as strong and difficult to defeat as he thought.

That night, Xiao Qi had a dream, but it may have been a long, long time ago, a fragment of memory——

The man in bright yellow clothes let the young Xiao Qi sit on his neck, and led him to run rampant in the imperial garden, Xiao Qi kept laughing.A well-dressed woman came from behind her back, the man grabbed the woman Xiao Qi's little finger was pointing at, Xiao Qi could hear his cheerful voice: "Zitong!"

Then he opened his eyes!

The dream filled with warm golden sunshine made him sweat all over, as if waking up from a nightmare.

Xiao Qi didn't know what time it was, it was pitch black inside the bed curtain, but he didn't want to call anyone, he just looked at the darkness.

His father actually taught him one thing, which is love and trust for his grandson.They pampered and held their grandchildren high.But Empress Sun took it as a humiliation, and was stingy in responding, but she was really proud of being favored!I only felt sorry for their father and son, but they held this love tightly in doubt, and in the end they both lost their lives...

Xiao Qi closed his eyes, quietly waiting in the dark for the eunuch to call out.

Xiao Qi in the palace slowly sorted out his thoughts, sorted out his environment bit by bit, and gradually settled himself down.Outside the palace, the excitement never subsides.

The servants in the palace killed one and killed two, and the ministers didn't care, and even clapped their hands.After all, courtiers have always hated eunuchs, not just eunuchs, but also court ladies?Anyway, it's about the same...

But he didn't kill so many at once for no reason, and the reputation of the tyrant was assured.It's best for him to stay like this all the time. After seven or eight years, when he is violent and lustful, whether he dies violently by taking medicine or being killed by a maid, it's all justified. No one will pity him.

On the first day of His Majesty's grand dynasty, the capital city became lively!Melons, so many melons!Come and eat!If you don't eat, you open your mouth and fill it in your mouth!

In the emperor's first court meeting, the little emperor knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times on the spot. The queen mother hurriedly retreated from the curtain in fright. The ministers outside Fengtian Hall didn't know what was going on inside, so they almost kowtowed on the queen mother for the first time.How could it be possible for the five-year-old emperor to think of worshiping the queen mother three times and nine times on the first day of his court?This is definitely taught by people!

The Empress Dowager's younger brother, Sun Liangyu, who was also the newly appointed Grand Tutor, was beaten to death in court.A group of ministers flocked to the Sun's house, almost tearing down the gate of the Sun's house.

I heard that Sun Liangyu was thrown into the ancestral hall by his father with his wounds. The door of the Sun family was closed, and anyone in the family who held official positions had to resign.But just like that, without the ministers in office, another group of scholars and honorable young masters came, and the Sun family was still tightly blocked. The emperor had just succeeded to the throne, and usually he would have to start Enke next year. Come early.

The working bosses still know how to measure, but this group of young people who don't have official positions and want to be famous, don't care about that much?Those who chanted slogans and smashed the door were honest, and those who were wicked poured chicken blood on the door.

Ordinary people think that this is because the relatives of the Sun family are stealing chickens without losing money, but anyone with a little brain can see that the only one who benefits from this is the little emperor, and they all guess that there is an expert behind the little emperor.Rather, it calmed down the impetuous mood that looked at the Young Emperor when he was young.

This matter was still lively, that night, the story of the emperor's murder of the palace was widely known, and the market said that the young emperor might be a tyrant, and the people would have a hard time in the future.

But with the matter of the Great Court Meeting before, knowing that there are capable officials and nobles around the emperor, they began to think deeply, and they all felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Sure enough, after a few more days, the second great dynasty was approaching, and it was reported that the emperor wanted to select noble children to study with him in the palace.

"High!" Old Sun Ge clapped his hands.

"How tall?" The eldest son wondered, "Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Sending the child in is risky. I have already known that His Majesty will kill him. How can the nobles dare to send their favored children and grandchildren to the palace? "

"Brother, what if... Your Majesty doesn't want those favored and noble children?" Sun Gelao's youngest son asked his brother back.

"This... Your Majesty chooses a noble son to enter the palace, isn't it to wait for him to grow up and add arms to himself? If it's just an ordinary child, or even a bastard who is not favored, what kind of arm is this?"

"You are treating the belly of the emperor with the heart of a courtier." Sun Ge looked at the eldest son and sighed helplessly, "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, is it not easy to promote someone? It is those who are not favored. A child who loves you will cherish this opportunity more than a child who is favored, and will be more devoted to His Majesty."

The youngest son pinched his fingers and counted: "If a family chooses two, there will be four or fifty people. If His Majesty lets go, there will be nearly a hundred people. Moreover, His Majesty may have to choose new people to enter the palace in a few years. These The child lives in the palace and eats with his majesty, and his classmates should be valued by his majesty. Even if he doesn't become a great talent, he will be a powerful force in the future."

Sun Ge nodded his head: "That's the reason. It's a pity that only honored children are selected to enter the palace. Otherwise, the father will be a little bit tempted. It's not about being talented, it's just the friendship with the emperor's classmate, that is, the friendship with others. Different."

The eldest son also understood, nodded his head and said: "It's the same crime. If others beheaded, he was just exiled. Maybe he met an amnesty before he left, and he went home. Then he thought that he would go back to his hometown to farm as a pawn." He is a commoner, but His Majesty remembered him and called him back again."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about!" Mr. Sun Ge has self-restraint, otherwise he would have immediately picked up the teapot and slapped his eldest son in the face.

"Father, what elder brother said is quite right. Otherwise...you can tell His Majesty when you go to court in a few days, can the offspring of officials be included?" The youngest son is on the same front as elder brother this time .

"..." Sun Ge held up the teacup and said, "Let's have a look again."

The elder son and younger son looked at each other and said goodbye.

In fact, Sun Ge is also tempted. At his age, he has already started to deal with the affairs of the funeral.But he also knows that no matter how many things he does now, when he kicks his legs, he still has to rely on the children themselves.They won't be able to enjoy the favors he received while he was alive for many years.

I thought about getting the children out of the capital for their safety, but my innocence has collapsed, and sooner or later they will suffer.If he could send his two grandsons in and have a good relationship with the emperor, if the time came, he would at least leave a root for the Sun family.

He was almost ninety years old, and his classmates had long since died.He is still in court until now because he thinks more than others, not because he thinks more about good things, but because of bad things, he always wants to leave a way out for himself...

It was the Great Court Meeting again, and this time there was no such thing as the emperor kneeling and kowtowing to the empress dowager three times, the empress grandson behind the bead curtain, and the ministers below all breathed a sigh of relief.

There have been no major events in the court recently, and the world is peaceful.Symbolically, a minister came out to sing praises, and Empress Sun said: "From tomorrow onwards, the palace will reopen the study to give lectures. Although the candidate for the Taifu has not yet been decided, all of you in the Imperial Academy are well-educated people. Enough to teach His Majesty."

All the ministers hurriedly called the Queen Mother wise, while Xiao Qi remained expressionless.In his previous life, there were no Hanlin lectures from the Hanlin Academy. When he was a child, he was enlightened by his uncle, and later on he was a musician.It's ridiculous that he can't decide what to study at all, and he doesn't know what is good for him. In the end, he is addicted to singing and dancing...

Xiao Qi closed his eyes, he has changed a lot, but in the few days between the two court meetings, his mind is full of all kinds of past lives, he is irritable and depressed for a hundred days, he can't sleep peacefully at night, no matter how he goes on, he will lose his mind. crazy.

"I have a teacher, but I still need my classmates. Otherwise, I don't know whether my studies are good or bad. How about letting Jingzhong Xungui send their heirs to the palace to be with me?"

At this time, although the rumors were only released for two days, you already know what you need to know, and there are rumors of the emperor's killing, and there are many smart people like Mr. Sun Ge, but he didn't understand the emperor's intention and didn't want to give it away. There are also ministers, and there are those who are upright and want to send their children to influence and comfort the emperor, and even those who don't care about the life and death of their children and grandchildren just want to send their children to have a better future.So now some people are happy, some are worried, some want to reject, and some want to expand the scope.

"Of course, I also know that the separation of flesh and blood is not beautiful after all, and I don't want to force others to make things difficult. Just three days later, if you want to send people, you can send them to the east gate. There are two in a family, and maids and servants are fine, but you can bring companions to read. Two for one person. However... I am also afraid that there will be too few people at that time, and it will be really unsightly. Therefore, officials of the third rank and above in Zhunjing will also send their children and grandchildren in. The same family has two, but each person only I can have a companion to read. The ages sent by each family are too young, so let’s be six to eleven.”

Originally, the Empress Dowager should have said this matter, but Xiao Qi really didn't hold back, and spoke directly.

Xiao Qi didn't speak during the first half of the court meeting, but he was still the main character, and the ministers were all observing their child lord.Even though he knew that what he did was directed by an expert behind him, he still had to admit that this His Majesty was probably born out of the ordinary.

It is not that there are no child prodigies in Beijing, but whose five-year-old child can sit high on a dragon chair and remain motionless for nearly an hour?Even the family with the strictest upbringing is not like this.

Didn't even look at the emperor himself and didn't want a child of his age?It's not that he really wants to piss and play with the little baby, this is serious learning.

What's more, after sitting upright for such a long time, the child was able to seize the opportunity to speak so clearly. The queen mother had just finished talking about the teacher, and he immediately brought up the matter of the descendants of Xungui entering the palace.Although it was a little rushed, and the intention of not wanting the Queen Mother to get involved was too obvious, but it was also very valuable.

——If Xiao Qi knew the thoughts of these ministers, he would probably feel much better, because they really think too much~

"What your Majesty said is true." Sun Ge was the first to stand up and support Xiao Qi. It's a good thing that the children can be sent in, and four of them can be sent in at once - the companions must also come from their own children. Li Xuan, you can't really find an ordinary baby.

No matter whether the ministers were willing or not, none of them came out to oppose it.

"in addition……"

All the officials thought everything was fine, but who would have thought that the little emperor was still alive?

"I'm young and don't need so many maids in the palace. Why don't we let a group of maids out of the palace during the Chinese New Year this year?"

"Your Majesty is wise." This is a good thing, there is no reason to refute.

"But you can't just let it in. The palace can't be full of eunuchs, and there will still be a draft next year. But I'm young, and this matter will still cause trouble for my mother."

All the ministers: "..."

"Where did your majesty go? It is my duty to be in charge of the harem." Empress Sun said softly that day. She and Emperor Yongjing have been in a relationship for almost ten years, and her acting skills are probably better than those of Xiao Qi. The emperor who has a second career is even taller.Last time, it was because the development of things was too far beyond her imagination, and the gap was too big, so she lost her composure. Now she has already recovered her status.

When it comes to Xiao Qi's place, the expenses of the Xiao family's royal family are really not big.During the reign of Emperor Yongjing, they were sent back to the court ladies many times, and they were selected for the show only once. Even now, the common people are no longer suffering from the draft, and some poor families are still happy to hear about the draft.Because the girl can get a sum of money when she enters the palace, and when the girl comes out, although she is old, she has money in her hand, so she doesn't have to worry about getting married in the countryside.Even if they are too old, some wealthy families would like to invite them to be nurses to raise their daughters so that they can take care of their old age.

At Xiao Qi's age, the selection of palace maids is not for himself, but also for palace servants, so this is a good thing for poor people.

It's just that the queen mother will be busy with these things for a while, no matter whether they are released or drafted.

It seems that the empress dowager and the emperor are at odds...

The Empress Dowager's reputation has always been... not very good.Yes, it's just not good.Empress Sun can act in front of the emperor and show the love between husband and wife, but the ministers don't care about how you are in private behind closed doors, and no matter how you behave in the world, the ministers only care about two things.First, it is difficult for grandchildren to give birth.Second, grandchildren are jealous.

Jealousy and difficult childbearing are combined. When Emperor Yongjing was there, every year and every month, ministers would scold their grandchildren for their grandchildren.As a result, the Sun family's reputation is not very good. Their family obviously has a queen mother, but now the girl is worried about getting married.

Moreover, the little emperor has dimples in his chest, so he cannot be treated like an ordinary child.Originally, they wanted to stand as ministers of foreign relatives, because they thought that the queen mother could hold the emperor. It is very likely that the development of the government in the future will be the foreign relatives party and the royal party. thing.

Not anymore.The emperor probably stands with the Bao. Huang. Party.Now is not the time of Qin and Han Dynasties, the power of foreign relatives is enough to overthrow the country, and the current foreign relatives... Everyone either wants to take a look at the situation again, or just take the emperor's position honestly.

When he retreated from court that day, Xiao Qi suddenly remembered something.

In that book, it was written about the Mu family of Marquis Deqing, and the children of their generation were all named after the prefix Yu, such as Mulin, Muling and so on.

If... just if!Didn't Mu Zhen and him meet in that world over there?Is it possible that they met in this world?

Xiao Qi's cold hands and feet gradually warmed up because of this guess, and his heart also became dishonest in his chest.

Obviously this world is the world where he was born and grew up, and it is his destination, but this place actually seems to be his coffin, the lid of which has been closed, and every breath he takes is sending himself one more step into death .

He longs... longs for a real Mu Zhen to be here with me.

Sitting in the Qianyuan Palace, Wen Yougong gently took off the glazed crown and court clothes for him, and Xiao Qi glanced at the mirror.

So many people used to call him cute and cute when he was in his 20s, but now if those fans see him at the age of five, they will run away screaming instead—the person in the mirror is no longer a person , but an ugly living ghost.

You can't just ask Deqing Hou's family if there is such a person. He is being watched by many people who are watching his every move. It's better to wait a few days for those children from outside to send them in, and then ask them.

Three days later, at the east gate of the palace, a long line of small cars pulled out.

Most of the car curtains are open, and there are curious boys looking out.When they got to the gate of the palace, they wrote down their names one by one, and when they got out of the car, a boy who looked like seven or eight years old started crying on the spot.

"I want a nanny! I want a nanny!" This is the family who spoiled him too much. He was just fine, but when he saw that the carriage that brought him was about to leave, he howled immediately.

"Whose family is this?!" A middle-aged eunuch came out with a gloomy expression, "Think this is a vegetable market? If you don't want to come, hurry up and take it away! Mark his name off!"

As soon as the pen in the hand of the little eunuch who was recording was horizontal, the boy's name turned into an ink mark.The carriage of the young man's family came back, and the elder who sent him bowed and begged, but the eunuch's face remained unchanged, and he raised his hand to wave to the guards beside him: "Take him away, don't stand in the way."

Those present were all nobles, or they were the family members of officials of the third grade or above. This family is not too outstanding. If they dare to make trouble, they can only take away their own unsatisfactory children.

"They have to go too!" The young man was not stupid at all, and realized that he had caused trouble, so he pointed at his companion and yelled loudly, "These two are my companion! I have to take them away too. ! And my brother! And their companions are all together!"

If everyone is unlucky together, he won't blame him when he goes back, and he can blame others for the fault.

"Bold!" The middle-aged eunuch not only didn't let the boy's two companions come back to read, but also beckoned the other five children to go in, "It's all registered, how can you make irresponsible remarks? Won't you go?"

The car from Sun Ge's hometown happened to be behind, and it was Sun Ge's youngest son who came to see him off. He saw the matter clearly from beginning to end.After returning home, he said to Sun Ge: "My son knew that it was an expert who came up with this idea, but now he is really convinced. After today, Xungui's family must strictly discipline their children. Father, I really can't Find out who this is?"

"Don't worry about it, this expert, you can't check."

"Oh..." The younger son suddenly realized that some people thought that Sun Liangyu was loyal and sacrificed himself to be the king, but Sun Liangyu heard that he was about to die of illness in bed, so it was definitely not the case.Then this expert who can stay by the emperor's side is either a eunuch or a court lady, the little emperor will never let such a person out of the palace, "It's a pity..."

Xiao Qi was considered to be either a eunuch or a court lady, an expert Qi, and now he is in Linzhi Palace, meeting his classmates one by one.By the way, he also asked those students who accompanied them.

After all, these children are all of extraordinary background, although a few foolish people dared to ask him weird questions, but most of the rules are in place, not only is it not difficult to deal with them, but it made Xiao Qi feel a little relaxed.

"Your Majesty, this is Mu Liao, the eldest son of the Deqing Hou Mu's family." Wen Yougong said in Xiao Qi's ear, his voice was soft and steady, allowing Xiao Qi to hear clearly, but he would not feel that someone was blowing into his ear .In just a few days, Wen Yougong's skill in serving others has improved a lot, most likely in his dreams he was thinking about how to serve Xiao Qi well, so as not to let this thigh kick him.

Xiao Qi's heartbeat became excited again, but his face did not change color: "Why are there only five Deqinghou's family?"

"It is said that the third son of his family was making noise outside the palace gate, and Pang Delin drove him back."

Pang Delin was the eunuch who informed Xiao Qi, and Lu Zhaoying, whom Xiao Qi specially mentioned to keep, was her counterpart.Xiao Qi originally thought that this couple is not a couple now.Who would have known that after meeting Lu Zhaoying, Lu Zhaoying is actually over 30 now, can be called a nanny, and has an affair with Pang Delin.

Xiao Qi directly gave the two of them a grace, and they were all used by his subordinates.

"Well, Pang Delin did the right thing." Xiao Qiqiu nodded. Today's Deqinghou is Mulin, his eldest son Muliao, and other children's names are also Baogaitou, and if it is Mu Zhen, he will not be unreasonable. There was a commotion at the gate of the palace.

Probably?But what if Mu Zhen doesn't want to enter the palace?

Or is Mu Zhen not surnamed Mu at all?Although most of the people who crossed over in the time-traveling novels had the same name and surname, the time-traveling novels were not enough evidence.

Or, did Mu Zhen not wear it at all?

Xiao Qi's heart beats harder, but it's not at all different from the cheerful, joyful, expectant beating before.Now this kind of beating is like his heart has become a monster full of sharp teeth. With the beating, it tears his internal organs one by one, tortures his ribs, and wants to gnaw him into a skin empty shell!
