When Zhao Xian was eight years old, there was a Taoist dressed person in the family, she was called to the main hall, the Taoist priest looked at her carefully, asked the birthday of the eight characters, and said to the eighth prince, "Lord, the life of Ling Ai is quite peculiar, look at Ling Ai's face, although she is a woman, she is smart and smart, witty, and her future achievements are no less than men." ”

The eighth prince, Zhao Yuanyan, smiled modestly, "The real person has won the award, and the little girl is a little smart, and she is not enough to worry about." ”

The Taoist priest hesitated for a while, and then said, "Lord Wang, Ling Ai's body is congenitally insufficient, if you don't adjust it properly, I'm afraid it will be in the future." ”

Zhao Yuanyan's heart tightened after hearing this, and he hurriedly arched his hand towards the Taoist priest, "Real person, is the little girl dangerous?" Is there a way you can save the little girl? ”

The Taoist priest hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, the poor Dao and Ling Ai have a fate, if you don't dislike it, the poor Dao is willing to accept Miss as a disciple of the sect, I don't know if the prince is willing?" ”

"I can't ask for it, but it is a blessing for a little girl to be able to get real blue eyes. I don't know if the real person just said that he is congenitally deficient, can there be a way to save it? ”

"It's okay, now start to practice the heart method, with medicinal stones to treat each other, and the deficiency will be resolved." The Taoist priest stroked his sparse beard and said slowly.

After Zhao Yuanyan listened, the anxious look on his face was immediately swept away, and he hurriedly called Zhao Xian to come up, "Xian'er, hurry up and kowtow to the master, don't be naughty." ”

Zhao Xian was confused when she heard this, she had been in the fugue just now, and then she took a closer look at the Dao Chang, she couldn't tell the age, she looked ordinary, and there was no so-called fairy wind bone. Who is this? She muttered to herself. However, since my father has always treated this chief very respectfully, it is estimated that it is not small, so I will worship him.

Who are you saying, "Who is this chief?" But it turned out to be the world-famous Taoist priest Chen Jun, who has a wide range of knowledge, knows the stars, and is good at the way of self-cultivation. The world doesn't want to get his guidance, but this Chen Tuan's whereabouts are erratic, he travels the world, and he has never heard of him accepting disciples. If it is favored by him, there will be great edification.

"Good, good! Get up! Chen Shude, this female disciple, was quite happy, and helped Zhao Xian up with a smile, "Xian'er, after being a teacher, I will come to your mansion for 2 months every year to teach you this study until you reach the age of sixteen." You have to concentrate on your studies and you will succeed in the future. ”

Zhao Xian hurriedly nodded yes, and officially bowed to the teacher.

Since worshipping under Chen Tuan's sect, Zhao Xian found that Chen Tuan knew far more than a little bit, and then ecstatically chose light skills and disguise techniques for in-depth practice, but in other aspects, it was only mediocre.

In February of the first year of Qianxing, Emperor Zhao Heng, who had been sick for a year, was seriously ill.

On February 19, the emperor summoned Prime Minister Ding Wei and Li Di, and the Eight Princes Yuan Yan were in front of the bed, and the Empress Liu E was by his side. The emperor ordered the crown prince Zhao Zhen to succeed to the throne, and the queen was virtuous and assisted.

In the early morning of February 20, Emperor Zhao Hengxu was in the Yanqing Hall at the age of 55.

In March, the twelve-year-old crown prince Zhao Zhen officially ascended the throne, and the empress dowager Liu E came to listen to the government.

In the past few days, the big and small things in the palace have continued, and finally come to an end, Zhao Xian thought that Zhao Zhen would definitely be confused and helpless, so she begged the eighth prince to take her into the palace to visit Zhao Zhen.

Considering that the ban in the palace was lifted at this time, Zhao Zhen had been sullen before, and the eight kings promised to take Zhao Xian into the palace.

Today's official Zhao Zhenzheng dormitory has been moved from the original East Palace to the Birthday Palace, Zhao Xian learned that Zhao Zhen was unwell and rested in the Birthday Palace, so she went to visit.

In the Birthday Hall, Zhao Zhen, the current young official, was lying on the couch at this time, holding a book in his hand, listening to the report of Zhao Xian coming to visit, Zhao Zhen was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked the waiter to call her in.

At this time, Zhao Xian was already ten years old, after two years of conditioning and continuous cultivation of her master Chen Quan, her body was obviously stronger, and her body was taller than that of girls of the same age.

"Guanjia, how are you doing lately?" Zhao Xian saluted when she entered the door, and her address at this time was no longer the same as when she was a child.

"Xian'er, I still like to hear you call me Brother Zhen, and it seems distant to call the official family." Zhao Zhen said unhappily.

"However, the etiquette cannot be abolished, how can I be so intimate with the current emperor?" Zhao Xian said with a smile.

"That. Xian'er, are you still calling me Brother Zhen in private? My father has passed away and has left me, the eldest lady is very strict with me, and Uncle Bawang is not as close to me as before, if even you are alienated from me, I will really be a loner. Zhao Zhen's eyes showed a look of loneliness.

Zhao Xian couldn't bear to see this twelve-year-old boy carrying a heavy burden at such an age, she asked, "Brother Zhen, are you unwell?" Why haven't you been to court today? ”

"Shang Chao, is it useful for me to go to court? It's not my decision, I'm just a puppet. The twelve-year-old said this, his eyes were slightly red.

"What's wrong? But what happened? Zhao Xian keenly felt that Zhao Zhen had something to say.

Zhao Zhen looked at Yan Wenying, who was standing beside him, this was a servant in his twenties, who had served Zhao Zhen since he was a child, and had always been loyal.

Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at him, he immediately retreated quietly outside the door, sent away the rest of the little chamberlains, and guarded the door himself.

"Sister Zhen, do you know what the same book is called? Before his father's death, he had a will handed over to him, and the edict said: Prince Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Empress Liu was the queen mother, Yang Shufei was the queen concubine, and the important military affairs "took the power" of the queen mother. Zhao Zhen said indignantly.

"How can it be seen as a 'false edict'?" Zhao Xian asked.

"Before his father died, he clearly asked the Queen Mother to assist him on the sickbed, so how could he ever say that the important military affairs "have the right to take" the Queen Mother's punishment? And the father mentioned that the assistant person still has the eighth uncle. But now this edict does not mention a word about Uncle Bawang, which is clearly Ding Wei got the approval of the eldest lady and colluded with the inner servant to revise the edict,"

Then Zhao Zhen said even more angrily, "Kou Zhun, the former prime minister of the court, was excluded by him because he had opposed Ding Wei, two years ago Ding Wei did everything possible to fabricate charges and drive Kou Xiang out of the court and demote him to Xiangzhou and Daozhou. The second prime minister, Li Digong, was bright and straightforward, jealous and hateful, and had opposed his father's appointment of the eldest lady as the queen, so he offended the eldest lady, and was not tolerated by Ding, and overnight, he was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Hengzhou regiment for the crime of "friend party". All the upright ministers in the imperial court were excluded and eliminated. ”

When Zhao Zhen said this, tears flowed silently, "What can I do to save this court, everything important will be handled by the queen mother, and I am just a decoration every day." ”

When Zhao Xian heard this, she was quite sad in her heart, she was silent for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "That Ding is the sole power, and the Queen Mother really has no movement?" ”

"Movement? Ding said that such an act, I am afraid that the eldest lady acquiesced? Zhao Zhen sneered when he heard this.

"Brother Zhen, do you remember the oath you made when you were a child?" Zhao Xian looked at Zhao Zhen seriously.

"How can I not remember, I remember that I said that I wanted to be a Ming monarch, but now the court is rampant, the eldest lady controls the government, and the Liu clan is rampant in the township, but I can't interfere in the government at all, so if it goes on, what is the use of my official family?" Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly.

"Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds. If Ming Jun said that he could do it, then all the emperors of the previous dynasty were Ming Jun, so how could he fall? In the past, Gou Jian was still able to lie down and taste courage in such a situation, but now it is just a small setback, why should Brother Zhen give up? Zhao Xian took Zhao Zhen's hand and talked eloquently.

"So what should I do?" When Zhao Zhen heard Zhao Xian's words, his spirit lifted slightly.

"Brother Zhen, I don't think that Ding Wei will live long, how can the queen mother be such a shrewd person, how can she allow the prime minister to control the government single-handedly? At that time, there will be a queen mother to clean up this person. Brother Zhen only remembered his childhood ambitions, consulted aspiring ministers on weekdays, was benevolent and humble to the outside, and endured these years for the time being, and when Brother Zhen had the strength to be able to govern himself, he should be reorganized. Zhao Xian continued to encourage Zhao Zhen.

"Okay, Sister Xian, I'll listen to you. I will definitely not live up to my father's entrustment, he passed on to me, and I will govern it well. Zhao Zhen swept away the previous look of cowardice and re-appeared the vitality of the youth.
