"It's not fun to say this, from the death of the first emperor, it can be seen from the behavior of our Empress Dowager that this Empress Dowager Rong is not inferior to the regent." Taishi Su was worried that there were Rong Yan's eyes and ears nearby, so he stopped the cabinet scholars, and approached very cautiously and whispered.

"Now is not the time to care whether the Queen Mother will listen to the government, but from now on we are all grasshoppers on a rope, pinched by the Queen Mother to confront the regent, how we survive and protect the new emperor is the most important thing at present."

Suddenly lightning and thunder thundered in the dim sky, and raindrops the size of beans fell down.

Even after leaving the palace gate, an entourage stepped forward to hold an umbrella, and the official uniforms of several people were still wet, "Tomorrow is the first day of the young emperor's court, I just hope that the young emperor will not be intimidated by the regent's deterrence." ”

"Yes, for our royalists, there is a tough battle to be fought in the upper court tomorrow." Shangshu of the Criminal Department sat in the carriage, and he really wanted to call himself sick and take leave.

But he is now a royalist, and he can't back down if he wants to.

As Rong Yan expected, it was not yet the second day, and she learned some news of the leave of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the evening.

Among them, there are neutral factions, more of them are Helian Qina factions, and the royalist faction is under the orders of Fang Ke and Su Taishi, and none of them dare to skip work.

And the reason for the leave of the official is strange, there is a neutral official who actually said that his sow is going to give birth, and he has to accompany the birth.

The smile on Rong Yan's face was cold, and she reached out for Yingxue to take the finger guard, and asked hopelessly, "What is the reason for the regent's leave?" ”

Before Li Yuquan dared to mention Helian Qi, Rong Yan was sure that he would take the lead in skipping work tomorrow, but he really knew his confidant.

Li Yuquan had no choice but to say under duress: "I have become ill from hard work, it is said that I have a high fever, let alone getting up, and I am still in a coma from morning to now." ”

Rong Yan sighed, she was still alive on her couch last night, and she took the trouble to ask for her man over and over again, and she was bedridden today?

Rong Yan really wanted to go over and climb on his couch now and try it for herself.

"Let the history of the Tai Hospital personally take the four imperial doctors and go to the palace to treat the regent." She, the queen mother, still has to show her attention to the regent of the current dynasty, and as for herself, she also has to show some care.

"The thousand-year-old ginseng and the only snow lotus of the mourning family, you can send them to the regent now."

Li Yuquan: "But the regent's concubine Su came with the news, saying that the regent was not in the palace, but took several officials from the household department to inspect the farmland in several states far away from Shangjing in the rain. ”

Ying Xue looked at Rong Yan's indifferent face, "It seems that Concubine Su does take care of the regent and is quite favored by the regent, which is exactly the result of the queen mother." ”

"Since he bothered to call himself sick, let's let the imperial doctors go through the motions, and the ginseng and snow lotus will also be sent." Rong Yan estimated that Helian Qi arranged for someone to lie in bed and pretend to be him, so she pretended not to know the truth.

＊

Every day, when the time of the court is in the middle of the day, the officials are waiting at the front door, and the officials who live far away even get up in the middle of the night to prepare.

Rong Yan let Helian Yi live in his Changle Palace, and woke up several times throughout the night, but he couldn't sleep when he arrived, so he simply got up and went to Helian Yi's dormitory after freshening up.

As a result, the lights were still on in the dormitory, and the five-year-old child was sitting at the table with a scroll in his hand, reading alone.

Although Helian Yi also worked hard before, it has not reached this point, since Helian Mo died, Rong Yan has seen Helian Yi several times and feels that this child is different from before.

She frowned and sat beside Helian Yi, touched Helian Yi's head, and asked gently, "Yi'er can't sleep because she is too nervous?" ”

After all, it is a child who is less than five years old, and tomorrow he will face so many ministers of civil and military affairs, especially Helian Qi's faction, which will definitely do something, Rong Yan does not ask Helian Yi to be more calm, I hope that he will not be paralyzed by fright, and he will be seriously ill.

In this era, there are not a few children who are seriously ill and die because of fright, so Rong Yan is worried and sleepless all night.

Who knew that Helian Yi smiled at Rong Yan, very calm, and in turn comforted Rong Yan, "Erchen didn't feel the pressure, he just wanted to cherish the time and read more books, so he was ready to go to bed." ”

Rong Yan saw that he didn't look like he was pretending at all, so she relaxed a little, took the book in his hand and said, "There is still a period of time before the last dynasty, you go to sleep, the queen mother is here to accompany you." ”

Helian Yi went to sleep.

Rong Yan sat on the edge of the bed and watched for a long time, stroked Helian Yi's face, and covered him with a thin futon, before turning around and picking up the book he had just read.

It turned out to be "Taixuan", this book is not at all read by Helian Yi at this age.

As a prince, although he was enlightened early, and Helian Yi was praised as a prodigy from the beginning, he couldn't recognize all the words on "Taixuan", let alone read them.

Rong Yan concluded that Helian Yi was just watching and playing, and didn't pay attention to it, and when the time was about to be, let Wan Jin, who was holding the dragon robe, come in.

Helian Yi didn't need to be shouted, he was so small but he didn't snooze at all, he woke up and looked very energetic to wash and dress.

The dragon robe was made in a hurry, but it also fits perfectly.

Rong Yan squatted down, took the crown from Wan Jin's hand, and solemnly brought it to Helian Yi, "Yi'er, do you want to eat something first?" ”

Helian Yi was set off by the dragon robe, and he had a bit of the majesty of the emperor at a young age, "No, the sons and daughters should be strict with themselves and be an example for the courtiers." ”

The court is a manual work, you have to stand for a few hours without speaking, and you have to kneel when you play.

During the period, even if the three were urgent, they did not wait to leave, so the ministers did not eat or drink before going to court.

Rong Yan took Helian Yi's hand and crossed the threshold, walked out of Changle Palace, and walked on the long palace road.

The sky is rarely clear, the morning sun rises from the east, the golden glazed tiles are illuminated golden, the whole imperial city is shrouded in a peaceful and vigorous atmosphere, the haze of the past few days is swept away, and people feel the vigorous power brought by the rising sun.

"Yi'er is the emperor, you must remember that only courtiers have the fear of accompanying the king like a tiger, Yi'er can't be afraid of any courtiers, but in turn let them respect you and be afraid of you......" Rong Yan was dressed in the service of the queen mother, solemn and solemn, holding Helian Yi in a dragon robe.

They passed through one palace after another, turning long palace roads, and Rong Yan sent Helian Yi to the gate of the Taiji Palace.

"Yi'er, the queen mother can only send you here, and you will have to walk the road of the emperor in the future." Rong Yan stood there and watched Helian Yi walk in with straight shoulders and calm steps, and suddenly felt a sense of shock in her heart under the rising sun.

Ying Xue was also infected, with tears in her eyes, and said with a light smile: "Our young emperor's behavior is really unexpected......"

But even so, for a few hours back in Changle Palace, Rong Yan was still so worried that she didn't eat breakfast.

Until the next court, Li Yuquan brought the news back as quickly as possible.
