After Yang Nuo became the prince's companion, he seemed a little busy every day.
Yang's family is in the suburbs of Beijing. He takes a carriage to enter the palace before dawn every day. He rushes to class with Ye'er. He has lunch at Chenxi Palace at noon, and goes home by carriage after class in the afternoon.
Xiaohua watched it for a few days and felt that the child was too hard, so she called Lin Qingwan into the palace to discuss with her. Let Yang Nuo live in the palace. Anyway, there are many places to live in such a big palace. If it doesn't work, I will live in the side palace of Chenxi Palace with Ye'er. She will take care of it and don't worry. Go home every few days so the child doesn't have to work too hard.
Although Lin Qingwan was reluctant to give up, she also understood that the empress had good intentions, and she had discussed with her brother when she went back, so she could not hinder her son's future, so she agreed.
And humming, he is as playful as Yiyi, so it's okay to accompany the prince to study a year or two later. Usually come when you want to enter the palace, just as a playmate, and you don't need to be cautious.
After Yiyi had a playmate, she was even happier.
Hen Hen entered the palace, and Hen Hen accompanied them, and the two had fun everywhere. When He Heng was away, she went to Mo Ye'er and Yang Nuo to play with her, and the children got along very well together.
Of course, it is inevitable that children will also have troubles, but Xiaohua usually ignores it and lets them solve it on their own. Ye'er is a sensible person, and Yiyi is not a bully. The child is forgetful, and he was angry at the front, but soon reconciled, laughing and laughing together.

Time slipped by like a stream of water, and during this period, several major events happened in the middle, causing a lot of waves.
First, Prime Minister Lin said his old age.
In fact, Prime Minister Lin was not very old. He was in his sixties. According to general estimates, he could still serve for a few more years, but suddenly he was old.
After Prime Minister Lin resigned, the post of Prime Minister Zuo was vacant, and it was reasonable to choose another prime minister. Everyone with that qualification was moved, but Emperor Jing did not show any intention to choose another prime minister.
It didn't take long for this matter to stop, and King Yun's performance caused another wave.
King Yun asked himself to cut down his vassal.
His statement was quite a bachelor, saying that there were too many fiefdom affairs, and the tax revenue was not enough to make ends meet.
Of course, at the end of the performance, he also said some very righteous words, saying that the excessive power of the vassal is not conducive to the stability of the country, and it is harmful to the inheritance of Jiangshan, Ji and even the Luo family. For Daxi and the Luo family, he decided to sacrifice himself. Complete thousands of people.
Immediately, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, causing all the courtiers and even the princes and nobles to be stunned.
Emperor Jing asked the court to read out this nondescript above table and ask the ministers for their opinions.
The courtiers below looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to make a sound.
Having been dealing with Emperor Jing for more than a year, all the ministers also know that His Majesty is not a soft persimmon. Don't look at his words, he usually does not say anything, and he does everything he should do. Unconsciously, many ministers changed their attitudes, and a kind of natural awe was born invisibly.
Including this time Prime Minister Lin begged for retirement, the courtiers also felt that they were taken down because they were not satisfied with Emperor Jing. But on the surface, it was impossible to see what means Jingdi used, only that Prime Minister Lin, who had stood for three dynasties, fell like this, and fell silently.
Even the old official, Prime Minister Lin, has fallen. Whoever dares to find Emperor Jing unhappy, let's see what His Majesty means first.
The people below exchanged glances and looked at Prime Minister Xu again.
Prime Minister Xu's old man stood first on the left, holding the jade wat in his arms, standing there as steady as Mount Tai. He was obviously not tall, but it gave people the illusion of standing on a high mountain.
The silence continued.
The courtiers knew that the person sitting above had always been patient, and naturally they would not have any thoughts of wasting.
At this time, an official came out from the end of the civil servant, stopped and said: "Your Majesty, this minister thinks that His Royal Highness King Yun is really righteous, and is the pillar of my Daxi..."
The official said a lot, and the general meaning was to praise King Yun.
After he finished speaking, he stood back in the queue.
Emperor Jing, who was sitting at the top, had no expression, but nodded.
As soon as Emperor Jing behaved like this, naturally the officials who were good at flattering followed him and began to praise him. After some praise, the elites already understood what Emperor Jing meant.
To praise King Yun is to say that King Yun did the right thing. It turns out that His Majesty is trying to cut down the clan.
However, this matter has nothing to do with the courtiers. Anyway, it is the Luo family who are cut, and it has nothing to do with their interests. Since His Majesty thought, the following people naturally agreed.
Emperor Jing didn't say anything when he was in the dynasty, but three days later, he issued the imperial decree, King Zhun Yun.
He also greatly rewarded King Yun, not only repairing and expanding the palace of King Yun in Beijing, raising the Prince Wanshi's salary to 12,000, and retaining Yunzhou as the land of King Yun, but taking back the military and political power, the vassal king can still If you live in a fief, of course you can go back to the capital.
Afterwards, he personally ordered Yun Wang to return to Beijing to show his favor.
After that, there is no after.
Everyone guessed that Emperor Jing was about to attack the vassal kings, but found that he was no longer moving. It seems that this time, King Yun's self-invitation to cut the fan is completely a farce, a joke that King Yun has always made.
***
As time passed, many people forgot about cutting down the vassal, but some people did not dare to take it lightly.
The first is the King of Qi.
Conspiracy with the King of Jin was a turning point in King Qi's life. It's impossible to say that he didn't have that idea, but he felt that he didn't have the brilliance of his brother, and he was willing to help.
It's a pity that he lost an arm, and the King of Jin died. He lost an arm and was locked up after that. Following his mother and his father, he was very clear why the mother did that. To put it bluntly, it was to find a way of life for him and the Xu family.
As expected, the mother concubine Zhonglie went with the late emperor. Cheng'en Hou's mansion lifted the ban, and he was fine, but was locked in his palace. However, his Yue family Chengguo Gongfu was exiled and beheaded.
After so many things and being detained for another two years, King Qi had already changed his original intention, and now he just wants to live in peace, but King Yun's actions caused a lot of turbulence in his heart.
King Yun is cunning, and King Qi has seen it for so many years. King Yun and Emperor Jing have a good relationship, why they are good, King Qi does not know but guesses.
If it is said that King Yun's actions have no meaning, King Qi will not believe it.
Perhaps, he should also be knowledgeable like Yun Wang Xue Xue
King Qi thought about this question for a long time...
Of course, there is another person, or a family, who dare not take it lightly.
That is the Xiao family.
Following the dismissal of the Xiao family's eldest master, the Xiao family has been very quiet recently. The Yasukuni Palace, which was the most active in the capital in the past, seemed to fade away in front of people's eyes overnight.
In fact, it's not downplaying. In the words of the Xiao family, it's saving strength for when it comes.
Is it really saving power
This word has tasted a little bit more bitter taste.
The more they realized Emperor Jing's methods, the more bitter the Xiao family felt. This man is too insidious, and he knows how to cut flesh with a dull knife.
Not revealing it on the face, secretly using various means, silently consumes most of the power of the Xiao family. Not to mention, it is not easy for the Xiao family to enter the palace to meet the concubine.
According to the letter delivered by the imperial concubine, although her life was full of fine clothes and food, she felt extremely aggrieved.
Tired
To make a woman who has been in the court for decades say such words is enough to prove how good Emperor Jing's methods are. This man is really incomprehensible, the former court will not fall, and the harem will not let go.
If this goes on, how can the Xiao family achieve great things
In the early years, the Xiao family could have said this without hesitation, but now, it is a little more self-comforting.
But there is always hope, and the Xiao family still has the last trump card.
Among the several descendants left by the prince, one of them was named a prince, and the other two were county kings. It's just that he is still young and can't feudal lands, but lives in his own palace in Beijing.
This is the great-grandson of Duke Jingguo, the grandson of the imperial concubine, the one surnamed Luo, and the direct descendant of the once serious son and eight classics. This is full of infinite possibilities.
Yes, infinite possibilities, but now this infinite possibility has been struck by Emperor Jing, and now it seems to be in jeopardy.
The Xiao family no longer has the ability to control the courtiers to jump around in the courtroom, no one is a fool, and everyone is gradually alienated from the Yasukuni Palace. There are still so many people in the Xiao family, but they are reluctant to use them. I'm used to the days of calling for wind and rain to do whatever I want, and it's hard to accept that I'm so embarrassed all of a sudden.
But if you don't want to accept it, you have to accept it, not to mention that Emperor Jing has never shown any moves to clean up the Xiao family, always giving people some hope.
Daxi didn't say that he boiled frogs in warm water, but what Emperor Jing is doing now is all the same. And the Xiao family, who is a frog, is still at a loss and continues to be boiled.
At this time, the Xiao family could not wait to burn incense and worship Buddha every day, hoping that this incident was really a farce by King Yun, and Emperor Jing had no intention of cutting down the vassal.
Another year has passed. This year, the country is peaceful and peaceful. Emperor Jing seems to have done a lot, but he seems to have done nothing.
In the second year of Jingtai, the vassal dynasty congratulated on the table in the new year, and the king of Qi asked himself to cut his vassal in the table, and his words were similar to that of the king of Yun.
It seems that following the indifferent Queen Yun, King Qi, who used to be grumpy in the past, also began to be indifferent.
Emperor Jing was very happy to read it and played it.
Compared with King Yun's treatment, King Qi gave King Qi a great reward, but King Qi did not choose to return to the capital like King Yun, but continued to live in the fief.
This was the case with the two vassal kings in a row, and the vassal kings of the other Jing Emperor's uncles all panicked, some were wise and some were ignorant.
But these are not important anymore. At the beginning of the new year, Emperor Jing's actions began, and various censors came to impeach the king's bad behavior.
These vassal kings are used to doing whatever they want in their fiefs, and there are problems everywhere that can be caught. Emperor Jing decreed to abolish one or two early rafters as commoners, and the rest were honest, and it goes without saying that Daxi's three-generation feudal system ended in the hands of Emperor Jing.
There was too much commotion in the court hall, and Xiaohua had heard of it. At this time, she understood what King Yun said at the farewell banquet.
"The fourth brother is smart."
Emperor Jing had never called him the fourth brother in front of King Yun, but when he talked to Xiaohua in private, he called him King Yun like that. Men are awkward, Xiaohua knows, so she never mentions it in front of the Yun Wang couple, so she should save some face for men.
"He helped me a lot..."
"Just remember it, Your Majesty."
"I remember it myself."
"By the way, I heard Yan'er say that she and King Yun are going to take a few children out to sea." Xiaohua asked Emperor Jing with curiosity on her face, "Your Majesty, what is the sea like, have you seen it? Where do you think King Yun and the others are going?"
Emperor Jing shook his head, he had never seen the sea before.
Daxi has a lot of territory near the sea, but he has never been to the master of the world, and suddenly he is a little jealous of the man who can run around.
In the past two years, he also had some understanding of some things about King Yun, and it was only until now that he knew that King Yun's business was doing a lot, and he was actually doing business with foreigners.
It is said that this time, I am going to take my wife and children to go to a foreign country for a walk.
The jealousy is even heavier. When will he be able to take his wife and children out for a walk
Suddenly, the words of King Yun flashed in my mind—
"... I already said that being an emperor is the hardest thing in the world, and this kind of thing still needs to be done by an ox... "
Emperor Jing was so sad, he grabbed Xiao Hua's hand and said, "When our children grow up, I will also take you out for a walk..."
Xiaohua was stunned, how did you get here
She recalled the conversation just now in her mind, then smiled and said, "Okay, then Your Majesty can remember."
"You have no jokes!"
