Strong genes, coupled with the special teaching of the day after tomorrow, it is destined that Xiao Ye Xun will continue to write the legend of his father Ye Xun.

Eight-year-old Xiao Ye Zhen is no different from a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, with a gesture, full of imperial fan, his eyes are deep and unpredictable, and when he doesn't speak, no one knows what he is thinking.

At first, the ministers kept saying that they wanted the little emperor to take charge in advance, so that they could fool or even set up the little emperor.

Xiao Yezhen strictly followed Ye Xun's instructions, and all the court meetings would be present, and he had even begun to express his views and opinions.

And in order to make the little emperor pro-government in advance, the ministers will also try their best to cooperate.

What all the courtiers didn't expect was that as soon as the New Year passed, the little emperor suddenly issued a holy decree to meet the envoys of various countries, and at the same time, officials above the sixth rank in Beijing must be present.

The little emperor is not in power, does his holy decree work? Not to mention, it really works, because this is the default behavior of the ministers in order to move to Ye Xun.

It's just that after that, the ministers just want to regret it, but it's too late.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the first day of the imperial court's office.

After the ministers shouted three times, before they could start today's agenda, the little emperor suddenly spoke.

"Have the envoys arrived? I want to see them first."

Although the voice is still a little immature, the tone is unquestionable.

Liu Wenguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at Fang Zhenru out of the corner of his eyes, but before Fang Zhenru could say anything, the little emperor's voice suddenly sounded again.

"Lord Liu, didn't you hear my will? Or do you need to ask someone first? ”

Liu Wenguang was taken aback, the sky and the earth are big, the emperor is the biggest, how old is the emperor of other officials, if he disobeys the emperor, he will kill the head.

Busy said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, according to Your Majesty's will, the envoys of various countries have been waiting outside the palace, waiting for Your Majesty's announcement at any time."

"Alright, let them in!"

This is the first time that the little emperor has taken the initiative to speak, not to mention Liu Wenguang, even Fang Zhenru and other important ministers, and he can't help but be surprised in his heart.

"Announcing the Audience of Envoys from All Countries"

The voice of the eunuch on duty spread far away, and in a short time, I saw four or five envoys wearing various clothes and looking different from the Han people walking in.

"See His Majesty the Emperor"

In a strange sound, only a tall and thin bearded man did not kneel, but just touched his chest with his hand and bowed slightly.

Xiao Ye Zhen's gaze turned to this person, and said lightly: "You should be the envoy of the Mughal Shah Jahan, at least I don't understand the etiquette of the Celestial Empire, I don't want to listen to you today, go back and tell Shah Jahan that without my will, the Ming Navy will not withdraw, I hope it will do it for itself!" ”

Shah Jahan's envoys were blinded, their country did not have the habit of kneeling, and besides, he didn't say anything!

Today's general on duty is Zhang Chaozhong, a very young military general who is not well-known, but his Lao Tzu is Ye Xun's number one henchman, Zhang Qi, who commands the entire capital garrison.

Seeing that the Jinyi guard was about to come up and drive people out, Liu Wenguang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is slow, after all, the Mughal is a foreign country, and it is understandable that I don't understand the etiquette of our court, please spare him this time."

"Liu Shangshu, I don't know something, is it that a foreign envoy has violated the law in my Celestial Empire, and he still has to use foreign laws to punish the crime?"

"Ugh! This"

Xiao Yezhen's words stunned Liu Wenguang.

Fang Zhenru couldn't hang up a little, the little emperor was so strong at such a young age, how would he let the ministers speak in the future?

He stood up in a flash, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I am the kingdom of heaven and the state of etiquette, and I should be broad-minded, why should I be as knowledgeable as these foreign states?" ”

The two important ministers of the court objected in unison, and Xiao Yezhen's eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of panic, but he said: "Even if you enter my court, you should follow the etiquette and laws of my court, since the two adults feel that he should be forgiven, then good, you will be the master of this court in the future!" ”

After listening to the little emperor's words, Fang Zhenru was also a little confused, why did the little emperor speak in such a tone like Ye Xun? At the beginning, we were not allowed to speak, but if we open our mouths now, will we not be labelled as a bully?

For a while, Fang Zhenru had no words.

After a while, Xiao Yezhen waved his hand at Zhang Chaozhong, signaling him to go down first, and then said to a few envoys: "For the sake of all Aiqing, I won't care about you this time, and I won't make an example, in addition, the purpose of I came to you today is to tell you that I will send someone to investigate the things you played in the twists and turns, but my father is above board, and I will never allow anyone to slander him.

Xiao Yezhen's words were loud, as if he was talking about the envoys of various countries, but in fact, the ministers present all knew that the little emperor's words were for them!

For a while, except for Xiao Ye Zhen's voice echoing in the main hall, the ministers didn't make a sound.

The brief silence was soon broken, though.

"Report! Your Majesty, news came from Taiyuan that on the way back to the capital, Ye Gonggong's inn was attacked by bandits, and Ye Gonggong and Ye Gonggong were buried in the fire."

"What did you say?"

Not only the little emperor, but after hearing the news that Ye Xun was burned to death, the entire hall was quiet for a moment, and suddenly "Hum!" The ground exploded.

It is not difficult to see from the expressions of the courtiers that the ministers are excited, some are hesitant, and of course there are a few with grief on their faces.

"Smack!"

A startling sound suddenly quieted down all the courtiers, and when they looked at the voice, they saw that it was the little emperor who was powerful.

"Zhang Chaozhong, quickly take Jinyiwei to Taiyuan to find out the details, no matter who it is, but anyone who participates in the assassination of my father, I will definitely punish his nine clans"

The hysterical shouts of the little emperor echoed in the hall, and it also woke up the courtiers, this matter seems to be not so simple, right?

Who doesn't know that Ye Xun's martial arts are strong, and his guards are all experienced in a hundred battles, how can he be easily victimized?

The ministers were puzzled, but Fang Zhenru and the others had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

It has to be said that sometimes people's intuition is very accurate, because intuition is mostly related to the surrounding environment.

Ye Xun is dead, but who did he hand over the army to? If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that whether it is the garrison troops in Gyeonggi, or the Jinyi Guard and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which are the most powerful in the capital, the generals of the army have all been replaced by the second generation of generals under Ye Xun, and most of these second generations of generals have had a friendship with the little emperor.

In other words, military power was regained in the hands of the little emperor.

In fact, this is what Fang Zhenru and the others have been looking forward to, but after thinking everything through, Comrade Fang couldn't be happy, because they suddenly found that the little emperor not only did not have the same heart as them, but also was not under their control at all

No one knew that at this time, Ye Xun had already taken Baozhu and several other wives and children and embarked on the road to the west.

This decision was a bit sudden, and it was a temporary decision made by Ye Xun after reading the secret letter his son wrote to him.

In the letter, the son hoped that Ye Xun's father could take the initiative to retreat, because he was about to be unable to resist the impeachment of the courtiers, and the son hoped that Ye Xun would go to Nanjing temporarily, and then return to the capital after the limelight passed, and as compensation, the officials who impeached Ye Xun the most would be purged after that.

After seeing this letter, Ye Xun smiled, his son can have such a scheming, which is the most reassuring thing for him. And although Ye Xun is gone, his influence in the army is still there, if his son can't control the courtiers, he will still take action.

At first, the son didn't agree to his mother's departure, but after Baozhu told his son's true background, the son acquiesced.

As Ye Xun told his son, only when Ye Xun leaves, can he truly lead the empire without distractions.

In the carriage, only Baozhu Xiu frowned, and her son was too young, so she was really a little worried about leaving.

It's just that what the husband said is right, his existence has affected his son's control of power, and after leaving, their husband and wife can be together in the name of justice.

When Baozhu told his son about his life experience, Ye Xun was not present, and according to the agreement, his son would announce to the world the news of the Queen Mother's sudden illness and death.

In other words, there are no more Queen Mother and Father-in-law Ye in the world.

Ye Xun understood Baozhu's thoughts, gently hugged Baozhu in his arms, and said softly: "Zhen'er is much stronger than we thought, if we are not by his side, he will grow faster."

Everyone understands the truth, but it just can't turn around for a while.

Collecting her thoughts, she looked up at her husband and said softly, "Are you talking about the beauty of the Danube?" ”

"It's beautiful, and the main thing is that we don't have to sneak around anymore"

Oh, yes! Whether the scenery is beautiful or not is secondary, the most important thing is to be with your beloved, and this day, Baozhu has been waiting for nearly ten years.

Thinking of this, Baozhu's eyes couldn't help but show a look of yearning.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something again, blinked his eyes and said, "Take Yun Niang back!" After all these years, enough of the punishment has been given to her"

Is it enough?

Ye Xun asked himself if he was not a broad-minded person, if he betrayed him once, he would leave a psychological shadow for the rest of his life, and in this case, if he insisted on taking Yun Niang to his side, it would not necessarily be a good thing for Yun Niang, so let Yun Niang's mother and son stay in Jiangnan to be a rich man!

I didn't want to dwell on this issue, so I tightened my arm around Baozhu, leaned down on Baozhu's delicate ear, and whispered: "From now on, we have to work harder, the first two are stinky boys, and the back has to be a little princess."

After giving birth to two children, I couldn't stay by my side, a trace of gloom flashed in Baozhu's eyes, and then she became brighter, and took the initiative to hug her husband's waist, you said: "Okay, we won't do anything in the future, and we will have children."

After so many years of husband and wife, it was the first time for Baozhu to say such courageous words, Ye Xun was stunned at first, and then laughed out loud

End of book

postscript

In the tenth year of Longxi, that is, the third year after Ye Xun and Baozhu left, the eleven-year-old Xiao Ye Zhen grew his wings, and finally raised the butcher's knife against the ministers who had formed a party in the court.

Fang Zhenru retired a year early, so he escaped a catastrophe, and high-ranking officials of the imperial court, such as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the secretary of the Criminal Department, fell one after another.

Zhang Quan, Yuan Yingtai and others, who were left behind by Ye Xun, were dismissed from their posts on the grounds that they were not doing things well, and went home to retire.

Kill these old guys, and some young officials have come to the court.

The army is much more secure, Xiao Ye Zhen first let the second generation of generals go to the border army for training, and after a few years, he gradually replaced their elders.

Fresh blood is destined to be full of vitality, just as Ye Xun thought, the Ming Empire began to develop benignly and healthily.

In the fifteenth year of Longxi, near the Temple of Heaven, the six-year Simutai was completed.

The courtiers thought that the little emperor built this high platform because he missed his mother, and only a few people knew that the little emperor missed his mother alone
