The lotus wind sends the fragrance, the bamboo dew drops sound softly, it is the time when the flowers are blooming in the summer, and a small galloping horse field is carved out among the clusters by the Taiye pool.

Zhao Lin, the six-year-old eldest son of King Qindeyao, wore a royal blue cardigan coat and rode on a white horse, with his legs between his legs and his mane collar raised, and galloped forward with a roar. A half-man-high wooden fence in front of him cut the wide road in half, and seeing that the white horse carrying the boy was about to crash into it, Lin'er raised his hand, pulled the reins and pulled it tightly, the horse's neck was stalked, and the front hooves jumped up and easily stepped over.

At the moment when the horse landed, Lin'er hooked his hand and took off the bow and arrow on his back, put it on his arm, and the arrow came out in response, shooting like a meteor into the clay pot wrapped in red silk on the wooden stake in front of him.

The crisp sound of the clay pot cracking sounded, and the surrounding area erupted in a tidal wave of applause.

"Good!" The emperor shouted, stood up and applauded Lin'er.

When all the courtiers saw the emperor get up, they all stood up. They were also convinced, just now many young noblemen wanted to show themselves in front of everyone, but after a while, the clay pot was still upright, and it was finally broken at this moment.

"Lin'er is already so good at a young age, and he will definitely rely on Da Zhou in the future."

The emperor praised loudly.

But when he heard these words, the ears of the ministers unconsciously changed, what is the reliance of the Great Zhou? In a country, only the emperor is the reliance of the subjects.

In their ears, the emperor is jealous of King Yao's family, and the more he praises, the more he wants to get rid of it.

Lin'er leaned over and saluted the emperor, won the prize, then withdrew from the middle horse farm, walked to the table surrounded by flowers at the back, and picked up the younger brother on the chair, the two brothers, one big and one small, sat next to each other.

Nian'er is also three years old, compared to Lin'er, Nian'er is quieter and more introverted, doesn't like to talk, only a pair of black eyes flickering smartly, showing that he is also a smart child.

Jin Xiaolou sat on the left side of the two children, she took a sip of a glass of golden branch grapes, and looked up at the emperor on the dragon chair, the emperor was only sixteen at the moment, looking at the prime and heroic.

If Jin Xiaolou didn't know that the emperor was telling the truth, I was afraid that he would also misunderstand, such a person who ruled the country would regard King Yao as a big trouble.

Before Lin'er's birthday banquet began, as soon as Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang entered the palace with their two children, they were summoned to the imperial study by the emperor.

The emperor only passed on King Yao and Princess Yao, and Lin'er and Nian'er were taken by Lu Yun and Chang'an to go elsewhere to have fun first.

After Jin Xiaolou followed Gao Lang's side and walked into the imperial study, the emperor confided in the two of them for the first time.

The sixteen-year-old emperor Zhao Yu was not as immature and helpless as he was three years ago, and sat in front of the table, naturally giving birth to a deterrent, which disappeared in an instant after seeing Zhao Yao.

At this moment, Jin Xiaolou knew that the emperor's majesty was faked.

Sure enough, soon the emperor explained the reason why the two of them came, just because the emperor didn't want to be the emperor anymore.

"Seventh brother, in the past, it was my mother who wanted me to be the emperor, and then the queen mother used me as a puppet to force me to be the emperor, but no one has ever asked me if I want to be the emperor."

At this moment, Zhao Yu is just a sixteen-year-old child, coerced by the situation to do what he is unwilling to do.

"It's too hard to be an emperor." Zhao Yu lowered his head, "Not only do you have to know everything, learn everything, and deal with the big and small affairs in the world, but you also have to be afraid at all times, for fear that someone will come to take my life." Seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law, if it weren't for the assistance of the two of you all these years, I am afraid that my position as emperor would have been lost. ”

"Not only is the emperor's position lost, but my life must also be lost!"

The last sentence, Zhao Yu almost screamed.

Jin Xiaolou sighed lightly, she understood Zhao Yu's mood very well, when she became the youngest professor in the university, the pressure was too great, and she couldn't sleep all night for a while, and stayed up all night to do experiments, so she crossed over here with a whimper.

It's all too much pressure to make trouble, she's just a professor, this young emperor is facing a whole country, where can ordinary people bear this pressure?

It seems that being an emperor also requires talent.

"So, I want to think about it, taking advantage of Lin'er's birthday today, it's better to say what is in my heart and be happy." Zhao Yu continued, "I thought, why bother? The current prosperity of the Great Zhou is almost all the credit of the two of you, so what do you want me to do? It's better to be the emperor yourself, the seventh sister-in-law is the queen of the world, and with the talents of your husband and wife, you will definitely be able to create a prosperous world. And I'm ...... I just want to live a small life without worrying about food and clothing, and I don't have to worry about my brains......"

Jin Xiaolou's eyelids jumped, and Gao Lang had already knelt down: "The emperor is a king for a day, and Zhao Yao is a minister for a day, and he will never dare to go beyond the rules." ”

Jin Xiaolou also knelt down, but his knees had not yet landed, and he had been helped up by the emperor himself.

"Seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law, I didn't mean it was fun." Zhao Yu was anxious.

Seeing that Zhao Yao stood up and knelt on the ground and still did not move, Zhao Yu turned around, walked straight to the side of the desk, and held up a holy decree: "I have already prepared this will, if you are like this, then I have no choice but to send a decree to you." When the emperor is only good at this, everyone has to do what I say. ”

Zhao Yu opened the holy decree as he spoke, and he didn't even bother to read it, so he handed it directly to Zhao Yao: "I am located in you, and I have been crowned the king of Ding'an, so you have to obey the decree." ”

Gao Lang held the holy decree in his hand, three years ago, when Prince Xian seized power in the court, Gao Lang saw that Zhao Yu was not the emperor's material, but he didn't expect that Zhao Yu would be so free and easy to give up the throne directly.

At the end of Lin'er's birthday banquet, this Zen decree was read out in front of hundreds of officials and important ministers, and everyone who was still full of speculation just now was dumbfounded, but King Yao's exploits were in front of him, and Zhao Yao was older than Zhao Yu, and he was still the queen's concubine, and this throne should have been obtained by him, but at this moment it seems that it has returned to its original owner.

As soon as the ministers groaned slightly, they all knelt down and shouted long live.

After flattening down, Ji Luoyu, the head of the household who had just returned to his seat, suddenly remembered something, knelt out again with his robe, lowered his head and said: "King Yao is heroic and heroic, Wen Tao is martial, and he is the blessing of the world for the emperor, but Princess Yao was born lowly, and I am afraid that I can't afford the queen's phoenix crown." ”

"My mother's background is low, and her family background is shallow, but now she has made great contributions to the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty at home and abroad, so isn't it more outstanding that my mother's strength is great? Showing light in the midst of difficulties, extraordinary strategy, and unparalleled wisdom and courage all come from her own character, which should be more worthy of being loved by the world! ”

Lin'er burst out with a smile, and Gao Lang praised: "Good! ”

"Even a six-year-old child understands the truth, you are a household book, but you don't know, it's really in vain!" Gao Lang continued, "What I don't like the most is to judge people by their origins, everyone's background cannot be chosen, only to grasp their own destiny, so the talents from the poor family are even more rare!" ”

Emperor Zhao Yu sat on the top, glanced at the bottom, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "King Yao is right, after I take the throne, King Yao will ascend the throne, and Princess Yao Jin Xiaolou will be the queen." ”

……

Outside the palace gate, a simple carriage drove slowly, the black curtain was tightly covered, and it went straight to a place not far from the palace gate, and when it was not allowed to take a step closer, the carriage suddenly stopped.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes and a tattered straw hat came out of it. The man was just about to get out of the car when a pair of slender hands suddenly reached out from the curtain and grabbed the man.

"Do you remember what I said?" A woman's eager voice came from within the curtain.

"Ouch, don't worry, I'm not stupid!" The man was impatient, "What else can't I remember about this thing!" ”

"That's good!" The woman let go of her hand, and just as a gust of wind blew gently, she rolled up half of the curtain, revealing Jin Xiaotao's slightly powdered face.

The man jumped straight out of the carriage, lifted his belt, and swaggered towards the palace gate.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was naturally stopped by the guards, and the man did not panic, spat out his phlegm, and said loudly: "I am going to go inside to beat the drum and voice the grievances!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the inside of the palace gate, a drum standing in the empty square in front of the main hall.

"Go, go!" The guard picked up the scabbard and walked out against the man, "You didn't beat this drum, you want to shout injustice and knock it in front of the yamen of the capital!" ”

The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of black teeth: "Why can't I knock it, I am the father of Princess Yao, I want to complain to the emperor about my daughter, Jin Xiaolou, the wife of King Yao today, does not respect her father!" ”

"Which drum do you say I don't beat the drum inside? My daughter is the emperor's sister-in-law, and I am the emperor's uncle. ”
