Chapter 166: The Emperor

"They want to interfere with who I want to marry? Don't care about the daughter of the Zhang family, or the niece of the Liu family, I don't want it, I have a cousin. Wu Mi's brows furrowed.

Chen Chong smiled: "Our Chen family, there can't be another queen, and Yanyan can't enter the palace." ”

Wu Mi sighed, in fact, he also knew the Tao, but he was just unwilling.

"Even my grandfather is going to leave me, and in the future, in this court, I can't even find anyone to talk to."

"Where does Your Majesty speak, in the future, Your Majesty will always be able to get one or two confidants, just like the first emperor and Wang Xiangye." treats this emperor's grandson well, although Chen Chong has a little utilitarianism in his heart, but there is also blood and family affection, after all, the first queen is his most beloved daughter, this little emperor, and his only surviving grandson.

Wu Mi smiled and took the fold back, and the irritability on his body finally weakened a little.

A new academy is about to emerge.

This time this academy is different, he doesn't belong to those Shiqing Shilu's family clans, that is a strange person from overseas, a real strange person, if he can use it for himself, perhaps, the situation of the family controlling the government can really be broken.

Back then, his imperial grandfather and father were both ancient emperors, but they were all tied up and controlled by the courtiers, not to mention puppets, but there was not much difference.

It has been 100 years since the founding of the Hong Dynasty, and this situation still cannot be changed.

It should be said that his situation is even worse than that of his father.

My father managed to defeat seven brothers on his own. It took more than ten years to climb to the throne, and his old man's prestige and merits were not lacking.

He has also cultivated a group of henchmen under his hands, and he still has some control over the imperial court.

But he was replaced, before he was sixteen years old, he was the youngest son of the frail and sickly queen, raised outside the palace, raised by the minister, and had an eldest brother on his head, as the crown prince. Cultivated by his father. The only thing he can do is to be a rich idler who is safe and secure.

He also did an excellent job, not taking the initiative to make friends with those families, and indulging in landscapes. Indulge in calligraphy and painting. Don't let yourself be too incompetent. But he never dared to express any motivation at all.

As a prince who is not a prince, when the prince's position is stable, he can no longer be motivated.

Thinking of his crown prince's brother. The little emperor's expression did not become solemn, how outstanding the prince was back then, a young genius, carefully cultivated by his father, he was decisive since he was a child, and he was very skilled in handling government affairs.

Such a genius, the emperor Wang Geng said that the prince is rare in a hundred years, and he will definitely be a great monarch in the future.

But the result?

The wonderful prince died in vain.

The cause of the prince's death is still unclear, and he still called himself to the East Palace during the day, accompanied him to hunt on horseback, and talked and laughed for a long time at night.

Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the news of the prince's death came.

Wu Mi still remembers that when the news came, he kicked his companion who had been with him for many years and vomited blood.

The father killed two imperial doctors, and all he got was one sentence - "No disease and no pain, just sudden death unexpectedly." ”

Sudden death? What a joke, his prince's brother, but every three days, there is a doctor to ask for peace pulse, and he is in the prime of life, and he is in good health, inexplicably, how can he die suddenly?

The father was so angry that he killed a group of people, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire East Palace were arrested and taken to the Prudent Criminal Division for strict interrogation, and there was no problem with such a harsh punishment.

At that time, the father and the emperor also ordered a strict investigation, but some ministers poured sewage on the heads of Wu Mi and his second brother Wu Hong, wanting to accuse them, who made him the most close to the crown prince, who made him and the second brother are both sons-in-law, the prince died, and the two of them were the most powerful heirs to the throne.

In order to protect the remaining sons-in-law, the father had to stop like this.

Overnight, he grew old.

In the past, even if there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, in the eyes of others, he was also a young and strong middle-aged man, but since that day, his father has become a serious old man.

He Wu Mi has also changed from a rich and idle prince to a candidate for the throne who must face the power tilt.

Yes, just candidates.

At that time, he was more competitive than himself, and the first place was not the second brother, but the young son of the concubine, an eight-year-old milk doll, Wu An, the king of Qi.

What do the ministers say? They said that because the concubine was born in a famous royal family, Wu An should be the crown prince, joke, can the Wang family still be ranked before him is royal?

The second brother is more justified than himself, and after the prince, he is the second brother.

At that time, how much sewage smashed on the heads of the two of them, and he was better, but the second brother was described as violent and cruel, and he killed people at every turn, which was ridiculous, his second brother was just tougher, and when the eldest brother was there, he had always been strict in etiquette, how could he be so unbearable?

The second brother is far less talented than the prince's brother, just a middle-aged person, but he can work hard since he was a child, if the prince's brother is in power and is a virtuous king, there is no problem, but the prince's brother died, but there were countless people who slandered him, abused him, and wanted to ruin him.

"I don't understand, obviously they used to praise my second brother for his good character and gentleness, why did he suddenly change his face, the person they said was really my second brother?"

The little emperor has never studied the text of running for governor, and if he did, he would naturally not be surprised anymore.

Later, Wu An died of illness, and these ministers still refused to stop, intending to help him up and compete with his father and second brother, how could he do this? He dared to say that as a prince who had seen his father's hard work with his own eyes, and as a prince who was simple in appearance but not so stupid as to be boundless, he didn't have much interest in that dragon chair.

On the contrary, he still felt sorry for his second brother.

He didn't want to fight, so he kept hiding, but where could he dodge? Those ministers obviously want a good little prince to be the emperor, and they don't want the emperor who is gradually full-fledged.

The second brother couldn't bear the pressure after all, and he followed in the footsteps of the prince's brother and died of illness.

As a result, he became the rightful heir to the throne.

I still remember. At that time, my father became energetic, not as sad as he was at the beginning.

A year before he registered, his father was sick one day and called him to serve the sick, and at night he had a high fever and drank medicine, so he called him to his eyes: "Mi'er, you were originally the youngest son of me and Zitong, we didn't want you to bear this burden, but the matter has come to this." You can only provoke responsibility. Hmph, they want to elevate the emperor, and they want the emperor to be just a clay bodhisattva, and he is offered high on the table. Don't say anything, don't say anything. It's a beautiful idea. Let's see if they have the skills! ”

For two whole years, his father quietly subdued Taifu Wang Ze and copied the home of the right prime minister Situ Min. killed more than 200 members of his family, the government and the opposition were purged, and he also smoothly ascended the throne and became pro-government.

This is all a situation that his father has forcibly split for him.

It's a pity, even so, the rest of the chess is not easy to play, a group of children of the family goes down, and naturally another group of people is added, the family is connected with each other, even if it is a rival family, it doesn't take a few generations, maybe you can find your own relatives from the other party's family, even if it is a fight, it is rarely torn face.

Once it comes to the fundamental interests of the family, no matter how desperately they worked before, they must advance and retreat together.

Wu Mi thought about the chaotic situation in the DPRK and China, and his mood couldn't help but become a little depressed.

Chen Chong watched him grow up, how could he not understand his mind, but he couldn't say anything, the Chen family is not a big family, the inheritance has not exceeded three generations, the power is average, and it is also a queen, and the children are competitive, and Chen Chong is also a capable person, so he gradually developed, even so, the grassroots nouveau riche in the eyes of others, and the Fengyi of the family in his heart is also to me.

The emperor's foreign family is like this, let alone others.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to think too much, in life, just do your best, you do these things very well, besides, you are still so young, even if you want to do something, you are not in a hurry."

Chen Chong coughed in an old manner, and whispered for a long time, finally letting Wu Mi temporarily dissipate a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows.

An old man and a young man, the two of them said a few more words, Wu Mi looked at the time, and hurriedly changed into his regular clothes: "Today, how about the entrance examination of the academy outside Beijing, how about my grandfather and I go to see it?" ”

Chen Chong had also heard of the legend of this magical academy, although he was old, his curiosity was not a lot, and when he heard the emperor mention it, he agreed with a smile.

The two of them walked out of the palace like ordinary people.

The common people living in the Hong Dynasty don't have to wonder what the emperor looks like at all, maybe you go to the market to buy vegetables on the front foot, and collide with the little emperor on the back foot.

Of course, the guards in various costumes behind him secretly followed a large group.

This time, the back mountain, quite a crowd of people, can be more lively than the previous year's New Year temple fair, the little emperor and Chen Chong passed, even the guards were nervous, for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos.

After all, there are too many people, and this is a security check, and it can't be done.

As the commanders of the guards, they once again secretly complained in their hearts - they really envied the previous commander, when they were the commanders, the masters who served were in their forties, mature and steady, but they were curious teenagers.

Bear children are really annoying, they can support others in a high position, and bear children who can affect the fate of others are even more annoying!

"Mom...... Hell, help! ”

As soon as they walked to the foot of the mountain, there were several students dressed as Confucian scholars on the mountain, running down the mountain with rolling belts, covered in mud and embarrassed.

Wu Mi was taken aback.

The guards beside him were so frightened that they almost rushed to the rescue.

The people around are obviously used to it, and they don't take it seriously.

There are also people who laugh and laugh: "Another one, how many are they?" It doesn't seem to have passed a few. ”

"Most of them are crying wolves, and I don't know what kind of exam questions they are, and they actually scare people like this!"

Wu Mi blinked, whispered and smiled with Chen Chong: "I suddenly feel that the ministers in the court are quite reliable, and compared to these people, they are much more stable." ”

Chen Chong was speechless.

Those ministers who can mix with the upper dynasty and get mixed with the emperor's eyes are at least fourth-grade officials, which can be regarded as big officials, how many simple ones can there be? I don't know how many officials in Lu Dao can't pass the hurdle of the four grades in their lifetime.

They got together and muttered, the little emperor is only in his twenties this year, looking young, he is really about the same as most of the candidates around him, and a small vendor selling tea next to him also smiled at Wu Mi and them: "Old man." Sending your grandson to the exam? Don't worry, go to the east to find the tiger baby to get a number plate, and then go over when you hear your number, it's too crowded over there, and you can't get in the past. ”

Chen Chong had a bitter face, and just wanted to say something.

Wu Mi was already giggling: "Exactly, our ancestors and grandchildren also want to try their luck, and there are really a lot of people?" ”

"Naturally, there are a lot, and the small one is not yet dawning, so I get up. That's it. didn't occupy a place inside, so I had to set up a stall outside the mountain gate to make a tea money. ”

Before he could finish speaking, an earth-shattering voice shouted: "Forty-two." Forty-two preparations. Please enter the mountain from the West Gate. Forty-two, forty-two ready to ......"

The cycle went on and on, and it was called three times.

Chen Chong raised his eyebrows: "I sound like you are in the criminal division." What's it called, Fu Xuezhu, that little Tsing Yi will help shout again when he is sentenced, this Mr. Xiao Yang is very amazing, and he can even support the Criminal Division. ”

Tsing Yi is very capable of bluffing people outside, but the little emperor doesn't know everyone, but Fu Xuezhu is also a well-known figure, and he is also famous in the punishment department, and even the little emperor still has some impressions of him because he often sees his name in the secret fold.

"It really doesn't look dumb."

The little emperor also likes to listen to gossip, and remembers the trivial things that his subordinate secret agent, the head of the Criminal Division, said more clearly than those serious things. Naturally, Fu Xueqing doesn't like to talk.

Yang Yunqiu himself was also quite proud of the fact that he could come up with a martial arts master who would let the criminal division shout for him, saving him from having to make some loudspeakers and other amplification arrays, amplification equipment, and wasting his strength and energy.

…………

"Why don't we get a license plate and try it too?"

Chen Chong was full of black lines, and hurriedly stopped it, it was not practical for him to stop it, Yang Yunqiu would never let him break into his own phantom array, in case he injured the little emperor, could he still run to the barbarian side to 'take a vacation'?

As soon as the little emperor arrived at the door, Yang Yunqiu noticed it, it should be said that he was lying on the top to watch the lively dolls, so of course he would not let an emperor wander around at the door of his house.

In such a chaotic situation as now, even if there is no assassin or anything, the emperor may let people collide, not to mention that he is injured and has an accident, even if he is angry, it is not easy to deal with.

Today's first level, Yang Yunqiu has to preside, after all, it is the first time to make a phantom array in this plane as an assessment, and it is still a phantom array with a certain lethality, if he doesn't stare at it personally, in case he really makes a mistake, he will not be happy in his heart.

It just so happened that Wang Zheng was condescending, standing on a tree, holding a pair of binoculars given by Yang Yunqiu in his hand, watching and enjoying at the same time, and pulling the leaves on the tree.

Some of the cleaning girls below, as well as the people who were in charge of pruning the trees, their faces were about to turn pitch black.

Yang Yunqiu raised his hand, threw a stone, and smashed Wang Zheng upside down and hung on the tree: "What's wrong?" ”

"Your boss is here to greet you."

Wang Zheng was taken aback, and his boss, he knew that Lu Dao, this person could not be the commander of his own family, and that Shenlong never left the Criminal Division easily.

Then, it must only be a little emperor.

"He's heading to the registration point at the east gate, if you're fast enough, you might be able to stop him from entering the phantom array."

Running down from the tree, the girl ran.

Others don't know Lu Dao, he can know Lu Dao, that phantom array can really hurt people, Fu Xueqing went in and took a turn, and now he can only sit on the roof with his arms hanging and help Yang Yunqiu call out.

Wang Zheng hurried over, just in time to intercept His Majesty.

Chen Chong was almost so anxious to put out his grandfather's score, and strongly asked Xiao Majesty not to mess around!

"There is no danger, I have been there once, and I even remember the road very well, even if there is no Mr. Yang to lead the way, I will definitely be able to enter and exit freely."

Wang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh, hurriedly stepped forward, and slammed it to the ground: "Minister, the punishment department Qingyi is sentenced, Wang Zheng, I have seen His Majesty, Mr. Yang is waiting for His Majesty in the Ming Jing Hall." ”

Wu Mi was quite regretful, but he refused to let that Mr. Yang wait for a long time.

He made up his mind that he must be a corporal of Lixian, and it is best to succeed in taking Mr. Yang into his pocket, this Mr. Yang is so young, but his ability is unfathomable, and he has no connection with the local family, he is simply a lonely minister, and he is a capable minister, if he can't catch it, it is estimated that his father will be so angry that he will jump out of the ground to teach him.

The little emperor happily followed behind Wang Zheng, ready to brush Yang Yunqiu's favorability.

But I don't know how to say, Yang Yunqiu is also waiting for him to send it to the door, so as to brush up his favorability, at least he can't let the emperor treat himself as a threat, he doesn't have the strength to deal with the temptation of the little emperor all day long, and he doesn't want to come here to rebel.

As a time-traveling person who doesn't want to rebel, in such an ancient society, if you want to have a good time, you must inevitably brush the emperor directly or indirectly.

The attitude of both parties is very good, and the meeting is of course very harmonious.

"I've seen Your Majesty." Yang Yunqiu ran outside the school gate to greet him, and said with a smile: "Last time, I didn't know that His Majesty was coming, not only did he not welcome him from afar, but he also caused His Majesty to be in danger, which is really Yang's sin." ”

"Mr. is serious, obviously I came uninvited and became a villain, where can I blame Mr.?"

Wu Mi's posture was very low, and he insisted on letting Yang Yunqiu walk side by side with him, Yang Yunqiu also behaved very freely, and did not make many excuses, with a celebrity demeanor.

"Mr. Yang, I am really curious about what Mr. Yang's phantom array looks like this time, why this time, there is no lightning and thunder, standing outside, and I can't see anything unusual."

This time is different from the last time.

Those onlookers can even see the various actions and expressions of the candidates who entered the phantom array, they are either frightened and run wildly, but they can't run out of the range of the phantom array alone, and they are also calm, but their faces are dripping with cold sweat, and all kinds of performances are clear at a glance.
