As soon as the old emperor died, things in the court made people dizzy.

The new emperor ascended the throne, Ma Yue Dong Zhong led the civil and military officials to Yongle Palace to serve, Xiao Liu Xie has not been able to see Ma Yue for many days, as soon as he saw Ma Yue, he had to pounce on him and hug his thighs and cry, and he suddenly stopped his steps before he ran out of two steps, and the martial artist followed the civil and military officials kneeling neatly on the ground, the hussar general Dong Chong had seen it twice before, and this man with five big and three thick was now holding the jade seal of the country and walked towards himself step by step.

Eight-year-old Liu Xie still didn't understand the meaning of the emperor, he was just thinking, if he took this jade seal, what should his brother do?

Dong Chong took a step forward, Liu Xie took a step back, and little Liu Xie's hands were pinned behind his back, clutching the grasshopper that his brother had knitted for him.

There was no way to retreat, the Empress Dowager Dong behind him had already gotten up, gently pushed him with both hands and said: "Good grandson, go, pick up the jade seal, you are the bloodline of Emperor Gaozu, and now you are going to inherit your father's throne!" ”

"Imperial grandmother, Xie'er inherits the throne, what about the imperial brother?" Liu Xie is no matter how young and ignorant he is, he was born in the royal family, he always understands that there is only one emperor in the world, and the imperial brother gave himself the best grasshoppers, do you still want to grab the imperial brother's throne?

Empress Dowager Dong couldn't push it, frowning and squinting at Dong Chong with dizzy eyes, Dong Chong hurriedly took two quick steps and bowed down in front of Xiao Liu Xie, and presented the jade seal engraved with "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity" in front of Xiao Liu Xie.

But no matter how close, what can he do if he doesn't take it?

At the stall of the stalemate here, Ma Yue walked up from behind, half-knelt on the ground and looked at Xiao Liu Xie and said: "Your Highness, pick it up, if you don't take it now, you won't be able to take it now, didn't you promise the minister, you will be strong in the future?" Now it's time for you to carry the world. ”

Liu Xie's eyes were red when he was forced by the adults, his little mouth was pouted and he was very aggrieved, he spread his hand to Ma Yue, Ma Yue saw the grasshopper in his little hand that was pulled out of shape, and he understood it all at once.

"Your Highness, this is thinking about the eldest prince." Ma Yue smiled softly: "Your Highness, don't worry, in the future, the crown of the eldest prince will be divided into the most fertile feudal country in the world, and you will defend the land without worrying about food and clothing." Your Highness, take the jade seal, this is also the last wish of the first emperor. ”

Liu Xie's eyes stopped on the jade seal for a moment, looked back at the Empress Dowager Dong, and then looked at Dong Zhong who was holding the jade seal, his brows were furrowed and his eyes were tensed to prevent tears from falling, and finally his gaze turned to Ma Yue and stretched out his hands.

"Sir, you can hug the palace again, the imperial grandmother said, when you become Your Majesty, you can no longer be close to the courtiers, you have to take up the world, the palace...... Hold me around again. ”

When did Ma Yue's embrace make Liu Xie feel safe? It was that night that the candle flame in the Jiade Hall was knocked over to the ground, and Ma Yue, who was covered in blood, picked up Liu Xie and walked to the terminally ill emperor's bed, saying that he would fight to protect himself.

"This ......" Ma Yue looked at Xiao Liu Xie's outstretched hands, looked at Dong Chong, who was kneeling next to him with a jade seal, and then looked at the old queen mother behind Liu Xie.

Empress Dowager Dong also had no choice, touched Liu Xie's little brain and said: "Let Ma Qing take you around, and when you come back, you will have to take over the jade seal, little grandson." ”

"Well, my grandson knows."

"That's it, Ma Qing." Empress Dowager Dong waved her hand outward and said, "Then wait a while, Ma Qing goes, take the prince around, don't go far." ”

"No." Ma Yue got up and saluted with his hands crossed, picked up his little Liu Xie who opened his hand to him, and walked out of Yongle Palace with the intriguing gaze of the hundred officials and ministers.

Ma Yue walked casually with Liu Xie in his arms, walked in front of the Yongle Palace where hundreds of officials worshipped, and walked to the Vermilion Bird Que, Xiao Liu Xie was still holding the grass grasshopper in his hand without saying a word, Ma Yue simply gave a look to the sergeant guarding the door, and held Liu Xie to board the Vermilion Bird Que.

Ascend high and look into the distance, the whole Luoyang City is in full view, the towering palace wall is just a low red fence for the Vermilion Bird Que, as far as the eye can see, first there are heavy military tents outside the Yongle Palace, and then there is a long queue of scholars and officials wearing auspicious clothes outside the Jiade Palace, and then there is the prosperous Luoyang City outside the palace gate.

Liu Xie held the grasshopper and asked Ma Yue, "Sir, are you dangerous these days?" ”

"Huh?" Ma Yue was a little puzzled, Xiao Liu Xie, who was in the deep palace outside the Qingzuo Gate, would not know, and asked, "Why did Your Highness say that?" ”

Liu Xie's calf kicked lightly under Ma Yue's ribs and said, "Hard, Mr. is wearing armor under his clothes, it's dangerous these days, right?" ”

The new emperor is right! Just because he is wearing armor, he will ask if it is unsafe, no matter how he ascends the throne, he will be stronger than Liu Hong! If the new court can satisfy those scholars and doctors and assist them with their hearts, there will be no chaos in this world!

Ma Yue rubbed Liu Xie's head casually, shook his head and said, "It's not dangerous, it's just that the minister is used to wearing armor, and he always feels at ease wearing a single coat." ”

"Will that gentleman stay in Luoyang forever?" Liu Xie tilted his head to avoid Ma Yue's big hand, he didn't like to be rubbed his hair, pointed to the military tent below, and said: "Mr. is the armor of the palace, if Mr. is not there, the palace will be very uneasy." ”

Ma Yue smiled, this little emperor will learn from him, sighed Ma Yue said: "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as the minister can stay in Luoyang, he will stay by His Highness's side to defend you." ”

After all, Ma Yue knew that the world was decided for Liu Xie, but his mess was getting bigger and bigger, and he didn't know how many people were hostile to him, but he really didn't have any way to deal with those people.

But just the words of eight-year-old Liu Xie, who is his armor, are enough to warm people's hearts.

With just such a sentence, Ma Yue can't let his disciple become the incompetent emperor in the future!

"Your Royal Highness will ascend the throne tomorrow, and it will be even harder in the future, the Queen Mother will be your assistant minister, but you still have to grow up as soon as possible, can the minister find a few teachers for you?"

When it came to finding a teacher, Liu Xie was a little unhappy, but he still responded obediently.

"The minister just has some considerations at the moment, first tell you to see if there is any candidate that His Highness doesn't like, and then discuss with the Queen Mother after you ascend the throne." Ma Yue said: "Shang Shuling Lu Zhihai is a great Confucian, he was your teacher in the past, and he will still be the same in the future." Taiwei Ma Riyan, don't be a Taiwei after learning, please concentrate on teaching you the scriptures. The general of the generals can be a captain, and he can also teach His Highness military strategy, do you think it's okay? ”

When he heard that he was looking for so many teachers, Liu Xie had a bitter face and said, "If Mr. thinks it's okay, then so be it." But why don't you teach me military strategy? ”

"The minister has self-knowledge, and he is still a worthy choice for the general, and he can't be for the handsome." Ma Yue shook his head and smiled: "It's more appropriate to be General Huangfu, the minister intended to leave Zhang Rang to teach you the art of people's hearts, and he was afraid that treacherous people would use your favor to play with power, so it's okay." So let's ...... Go back to the throne? ”

"Well, go back and take the throne."

The two of them just talked and laughed all the way back to Yongle Palace, and the waiting ministers were a little impatient, this impatience was not for Xiao Liu Xie, but for Ma Yue.

Watching Ma Yue hugging Liu Xie all the way, they all lowered their heads, but in their hearts, they once again labeled Ma Yue as a treacherous person.

When he was young, he taught the emperor to hang his ministers, what should he do in the future!

He Miao looked at Ma Yue's approaching figure with hatred, and when he saw him approaching, he lowered his head again, and when Ma Yue entered the palace, he raised his head and squinted at Ma Yue's back, and gave Zhao Zhong a look.

This matter is not over, even if Xiao Liu Xie ascends the throne, it is not over!

He Miao is wearing thicker armor than Ma Yue today, not only him, many officials are the same, who doesn't know that the guards in the Forbidden Palace now are all his Ma Yue's people, I heard that they Liangzhou people eat meat directly with waist knives, in case something goes wrong, wearing armor is still a fight.

The current court is in chaos!

Zhao Zhong and these people are often in the palace, not to mention that there are always some cronies, those soldiers in the general's mansion are shouting and shouting at them, and they are forced to run to the Cheqi Mansion to send money, they want to save their lives! Now, He Miao also wants to save his life, so he ...... Getting rid of Ma Yue and Jian Shuo is the only way.

As for Dong Chong, the Empress Dowager Dong in the back, as long as he gets rid of Ma Yue and gathers the soldiers and horses under him, is it hard to say anything else?

But in any case, the emperor of Xiao Liu Xie is decided.

"Good grandson, take the jade seal and drive to the Jiade Palace, right?" Seeing that Ma Yue came back with Liu Xie in his arms, Empress Dowager Dong hurriedly took two steps and took Liu Xie and put it on the ground and asked, "Your accession to the throne is the will of the first emperor, and it is also the expectation of the world." ”

Dong Chong's kneeling leg just now was numb, and not long after he was pardoned by the Empress Dowager Dong and got up, seeing that Ma Yue came back with Liu Xie in his arms, he hurriedly knelt down again and held the jade seal and said: "Please Your Highness to inherit the jade seal of the country to the throne of the emperor!" ”

Eight-year-old Liu Xiecai didn't understand what was expected, he only knew that his father wanted to ascend the throne himself, so he must ascend the throne.

Liu Xie looked at the jade seal, opened his hand and looked at the grasshopper in his hand, raised his head and glanced at Ma Yue, saw Ma Yue nodding at him with anticipation, and finally picked up the heirloom jade seal and held it firmly in his arms!

Hundreds of officials surrounded Liu Xie and boarded the car driven by Dong Min, the commander of Fengche, and walked all the way towards the Jiade Palace.

There, Liu Xie put on the imperial crown, wore a god robe, sat upright on the dragon couch, and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials.

This is the Zigong Palace of the first emperor and the sleeping palace of the new emperor.

Every emperor who ascended the throne in this palace would eventually die in this palace as well.

Empress He stood aside with the eldest prince, looking at the position where Xiao Liu Xie was sitting, holding her son firmly, which should have been where her son was sitting!

"Bian'er, you have to remember, it was that person who killed your uncle, or he robbed your emperor and gave it to your younger brother, you have to remember him, remember him!"

Empress He whispered to the seventeen-year-old Liu that the hatred between the He family and Ma Yue was already irreconcilable.
