Extra 2 Picking Stars (4)

The little emperor was a good boy and a good student.

The Empress Dowager often told the little emperor to recite a lot of things he needed to say when he was in court, during celebrations, and during sacrifices.

Xiao Xi felt that the little emperor probably would not become an emperor like the first emperor.

If the first emperor was just an ordinary person, it would be understandable, but the first emperor was the emperor after all.

For the civil and military officials, there was nothing to say about his deviant life, and finally he was given the nickname of "god", which means "incompetent name"; For the people, Emperor Shenzong is a blue sky and does not open his eyes.

The theory of governing the country and the splendid articles are not as good as the green words, and the court officials still don't know where to seek justice for them, and where do they still have the heart to uphold justice for the people?

In short, Xiao Xi, as the adoptive mother of the little emperor, has the only wish that the little emperor will not grow up to be an emperor like the first emperor.

Judging from the performance of the little emperor, Xiao Xi felt that her wish was not difficult to achieve.

However, she did not know what the first emperor looked like when he was young......

When Xiao Xi married the first emperor at the age of fifteen, he was already detached from the world and didn't ask the common people about ghosts and gods.

She didn't know that he was also a well-behaved prince and a motivated student, and in order to win the praise of his father and adoptive mother, he repeatedly practiced the four words "the world is the same" countless times.

His father's handwriting was excellent, almost as good as everyone before him. And his adoptive mother told him that "the world is in harmony" is his father's wish, and his father named him "Tong", which shows his expectations for him.

Later, when he grew up, he learned that "the world is in harmony" may indeed be his father's wish, but his father did not have such high expectations for him.

His father's handwriting was excellent, but his father didn't really like calligraphy.

For a long time, he even doubted that there was no one or thing in this world that his father liked and cared about.

And of course he too.

His father didn't even want him to come into this world, so what could he expect?

As for his later accession to the throne, it was just because he happened to have a powerful adoptive mother, and his father happened to have a thin heir.

The biological mother's intelligence was impaired, and the adoptive mother coerced him to take the position, and the father had something in his heart.

Grandmother has a rare bit of true affection for him, but those true feelings are also mixed with grandmother's hatred for his father and her desire for power.

Every time he thought about it, he felt bored.

He was born in such a family, he has everything, and the people around him are very nervous about him, as if it is a big deal for him to lose a hair, but these people are also these people, and no one cares what he thinks in his heart.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that he didn't care about them.

He will no longer live according to their hearts.

What clan etiquette, benevolence, righteousness and morality......

He ignored it......

What can they do to him?

This is what Xiao Xi didn't know, and the first emperor figured it out when he was fifteen years old.

After the little emperor turned fourteen, the atmosphere inside and outside the palace gradually began to tense since the New Year's Eve.

It stands to reason that the little emperor should be in charge after he reaches the age of fifteen.

Although this is the reason, no one has forgotten the reply of the Empress Dowager when the first emperor was 15 years old when he invited the Empress Dowager to return to power.

"The heir is the most important" ......

Naturally, the little emperor has no heirs.

Although the Empress Dowager is old, she is still healthy and clear-minded.

None of the ministers dared to rashly mention the stubble of "returning to politics".

In the end, it was the King of Shu who took the lead in the Taoist recital, and asked for the excerpt chosen by the little emperor.

The candidate recommended by the King of Shu is the granddaughter of Xia Si, the first assistant of Zhishi.

Xia Sinian is a Jinshi of the Emperor Wu Dynasty, his wife is a young lady from the Jiang family of the Rongguo Mansion, he has gone through four dynasties, straight and not old-fashioned, clear about the situation, know the advance and retreat, is deeply trusted by Emperor Zhao, and is also extremely relied on by the Empress Dowager.

Miss Xia Shiyi is not only from a noble background, but she is also very outstanding among the female students of Kyoto Girls' School.

All in all, Miss Xia Shiyi is impeccable in all aspects and is a very suitable candidate for queen.

In particular, she is not surnamed Xiao.

So, after the king of Shu played, there were many seconders.

The Empress Dowager ignored these excerpts, but personally supervised another major event: the production of uniforms and the temple.

Whenever ordinary people encounter the New Year's Festival or have a major event, they often solemnly open ancestral halls and worship their ancestors, and the same is true for the heavenly family.

Although the temple of the Heavenly Family has always been a precedent, this errand of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very difficult to handle.

There are precedents in the Temple of the Son of Heaven, but the system and details are different in different scenarios.

The emperor's fifteen hair bundles are a major event, the emperor's election is also a major event, and the emperor's pro-government is even more important......

The Empress Dowager arranged this visit to the temple for which major event?

Since taking over this errand, Wang Gui, the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, has not slept a single night, and while urging the people below to prepare, he walked around, his chubby face has lost weight, and even half of his hair has been lost.

When Wang Guiqiu came to Xiao Xi, he looked like this.

Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment before recognizing him. After Wang Gui said something with a sad face, Xiao Xi couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.

It's called, this time, that time......

In the accession of the little emperor to the throne, Concubine Yue contributed a lot, and Concubine Yue's maiden family was a businessman, so the Empress Dowager reciprocated the favor and let Wang Gui, who was next to Concubine Yue, enter the Internal Affairs Office and specialize in procurement.

At that time, the Empress Dowager had power, the little emperor got the throne, Concubine Yue's maiden family earned silver, and everyone got their own place and was harmonious.

Not after that.

The Xiao family was originally a northern family, and after the old lady Xiao Fu Zhishi went to Jinling to open a academy, the Xiao family branch also moved to Jinling, so the so-called "Xiao Party" Wenchen reused by the Empress Dowager was mostly scholars from the north and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

It changed the situation of the Zhao Emperor Dynasty and before, "Hanlin Duoji Water, Courtiers Half Jiangxi" in the court.

Therefore, in these years, the king of Shu deliberately gathered a group of scholars from Bashu, Lianghu and Guangxi, and Jiangxi to cultivate the so-called "imperial party".

The king of Shu has no real power, and he can only use money to cultivate the imperial party.

The king of Shu has no money, but Concubine Yue's maiden family has.

Now, it is Wang Gui who has become the eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and the business of Concubine Yue's mother's family is getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Gui acted like this, Beishen was naturally not angry, Beishen presented silk, and most of the embroidery girls in the palace were selected by Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there was the Empress Dowager behind it, so the Shangyi Bureau gradually became its own faction, and Wang Gui neither managed nor knew.

Xiao Xi pondered that Wang Gui begged to come to her, he should have wanted to follow the path of the Shangyi Bureau.

After all, just ask the aunts of the Shangyi Bureau about the patterns on the gon and the empress dowager's dress, and you can roughly deduce what the empress dowager means.

It's simple to say, but the eldest aunt of the Shangyi Bureau is the empress dowager, and Wang Gui will never find out anything.

Xiao Xi thought about it, and finally went to the Shangyi Bureau in person.

Naturally, it's not because of Wang Gui.

The eldest aunt of the Shangyi Bureau respected Xiao Xi very much, and personally led her to see the gowns that were being made.

When Xiao Xi saw the gown, she was shocked, and she stumbled under her feet, and the eldest aunt held her steadily.

The embroidered girls' uniforms are exquisite and gorgeous, and they are clearly not cut according to the size of the little emperor!
