The royal family of Zheng Kingdom, descendants of various generations, and many who succeeded the emperor to the throne are all heroes. Since the past dynasties, all the male emperors have been passed down to the generation of Ajiu.
There was also a female emperor in the history of the country in previous years, but that female emperor was brave and good at fighting, and pacified the surrounding countries, so it has been praised for a long time.
So there is the generation of Empress Ah Jiu.
But in the generation where Ah Jiu is the empress, it makes Ah Jiu very melancholy.
Although she is a queen, she has no real power.
From the perspective of officials inside and outside the imperial court, all the political power is in the hands of an uncle.
The so-called uncle, the uncle of the emperor, whether the emperor is male or female, he is the uncle of the emperor and the regent of the entire Zheng Kingdom.
Speaking of Ah Jiu's uncle, it is a legend in the entire Zheng Kingdom.
The emperor's uncle's surname was Fu and his name was changed to Huai Jin. He is now in his twenties, and his appearance is impressive.
Ah Jiu, who has never been out of the palace, heard that her uncle is the dream lover of all women in the entire imperial capital.
Ah Jiu agrees with this sentence very much.
Ah Jiu has been looking at the uncle for ten years and always thinks that the uncle Fu Yan is the most beautiful, with sword brows, star eyes, white skin and nose, and the outline of the whole face is just right, so that Ah Jiu did not dislike it after watching it for ten years.
A Jiu was handed over to the emperor's uncle Fu Yan by the late emperor at the age of six when he was dying in front of the dragon couch. At that time, Fu Yan, who was eighteen years old, was able to stand on his own in the court because of the emperor's respect.
Before his death, the late emperor held Fu Yan's hand and pointed tremblingly at Ah Jiu, who was still nibbling on the fragrant sweet potato even though he was kneeling on the ground.
"Although Ah Jiu is not very shrewd, but she is my only daughter, I hand her over to you, you must help her well, she is the only prince, you must be loyal to the prince, protect the prince and love the prince, so as to live up to what we have done to you Take it seriously!"
In front of the dragon couch, Fu Yan nodded deeply, and together with his father, he looked at Ah Jiu, who was full of sweet potatoes and flesh.
Ah Jiu clearly saw the tears in the eyes of the late emperor, but there was a wry smile on the corner of the late emperor's mouth. He probably thought that Ah Jiu was a doo who couldn't help.
At that time, the young Ah Jiu was ignorant and could not correctly understand the deep meaning of the wry smile. She raised the sweet potato in her hand and asked the late emperor, "Father, are you hungry?" , fell on the dragon couch.
So up to now, those older maids and grand servants all feel that the first emperor was killed by Ah Jiu, while Ah Jiu secretly thinks that his father has reached the end of his life. If you die at the third watch, I will never leave you at the fifth watch.”
After A Jiu's idea was known to the historian Wen Xiang in detail, Wen Xiangxiang wrote down A Jiu's strokes in the annals of history, and repeatedly shook his head and pointed at A Jiu's nose, scolding him, saying something, "The Empress Chongyi, go on Without the virtue of respecting the emperor, secretly insulting the former emperor, without pity for the people, and the country’s misfortune” and so on.
Although it was written in the annals of history, Ah Jiu couldn't announce it before he died, so it wouldn't work, and Ah Jiu was not afraid.
But what Wen Xiang said in detail is also extremely correct. Ah Jiu is indeed immoral and incompetent, and she herself thinks so.
Almost all of Ah Jiu's memorials since his reign have been reviewed by Uncle Fu Yan. In the end, he only shared the results with Ah Jiu. Even the words from the previous court were sorted out by Uncle and taught to Ah Jiu.
As smart as Fu Yan, he thought well about all the situations that could arise in the court, and made Ah Jiu foolproof to retreat from the court.
Since A Jiu has been in power for ten years, he has been in power for A Jiu. Most of the new ministers promoted by Fu Yan in the court seem to be his outstanding ability, while A Jiu is an Adou who cannot help.
Looking at the situation in the court, Ah Jiu felt that the uncle had a tendency to overthrow her power and establish a new policy headed by Fu Yan.
But why is Ah Jiu so sad
Because she was 18 years old and wanted to take back the Huangquan in her hands, but she found that Uncle Huang's regime was too deep, and he didn't understand the affairs of the government.
Speaking of this issue, Ah Jiu summed it up. If she wants to take back the power of the phoenix, I am afraid that only Xiao Dezi, Wen Xiangxiang and several old officials in the court will stand by her side, and the one who pats her chest thinks it is Fu Yan. Stealing Ah Jiu's phoenix power.
Ah Jiu remembered that in the fourth year of the New Deal, the Phoenix Pavilion formed by the old ministers handed over the power of the phoenix to her. What followed was a mountain of memorials. At that time, when Ah Jiu was young, she collapsed. Throwing all the memorials on the ground, all the old officials knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, but Fu Yan did not kneel.
At that time, Fu Yan was twenty-two years old. In front of these old officials and Wen Xiangxiang, he picked up the memorial on the ground and called Xiaodezi to add a chair next to Ah Jiu's dragon chair.
From then on, he came to Ah Jiu's imperial study every day to teach Ah Jiu to approve and read memorials, and of course, occasionally, in front of those old ministers, he taught Ah Jiu how to criticize and discuss the invitations of the ministers.
He taught very well, but Ah Jiu was too stupid to appreciate his painstaking efforts, so that for ten years, Ah Jiu failed to become a good monarch who abides by his duties.
After a long time, Fu Yan gave up teaching A Jiu, looked at the memorial presented by Xiao Dezi, and then told A Jiu about the results after reading one by one, and taught A Jiu how to be intimidated in the courtroom A group of ministers, so Ah Jiu has been able to play with ease in the court for so many years, but it all depends on Ah Jiu's uncle.
Wen Xiangxiang said that this is probably the daily life of King Huai Jin.
A Jiu looked at the memorials after the reviewing by the uncle with satisfaction, and then pouted, thinking about how good these memorials would be if they had been approved by herself, she placed the memorials and sighed slightly. He glanced at the uncle who was standing straight but looked at the blanket on the ground.
Ajiu was thinking about it when a courtier stood on his right. He bowed his body, raised the jade in his hand and saluted Ajiu. Ajiu saw that it was Weiyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, and she sat up straight. He listened to his speech.
He raised his voice and said to Ajiu, "Your Majesty, I heard that the city of Huodu has been raining heavily for days and days, and Huodu is in low-lying terrain. Now refugees have become a disaster."
Ajiu nodded pretendingly, the top hat and jade beads on her head swayed slightly, she thought for a moment and said leisurely: "Aiqing is right, I have also thought about this issue, knowing that the people are living, I can't sleep at night. , last night, after thinking twice, I decided to send troops to rescue, and there is no city for flood control. I wonder which courtier is willing to go to rescue?"
She stared at the ministers in several rows below, and according to Fu Yan's intention, she wanted her to ask first, and if no one came, send one of the candidates he had planned.
She looked at the person's name that Fu Yan had circled with a vermilion pen on the memorial, and compared it with the person in the hall according to the small portrait that Fu Yan had drawn next to the person's name, and finally pinpointed the person.
The man was standing behind Fu Yan, with his red official robe straight and his head bowed respectfully. It was clearly the new minister that Fu Yan had recommended to the court a few days ago.
Wen Xiangxiang once told Ajiu that Fu Yan was helping this new minister to establish his prestige in the court, to build a good reputation, so as to support him and take her country.
Ah Jiu looked at Wen Xiangxiang, but he didn't care to tell Ah Jiu that this was not his country. If he hadn't looked at Ah Jiu's stupidity beyond his expectations, he wouldn't have reminded Ah Jiu.
Even though Wen Xiangxian stigmatized the monarch, Ajiu didn't have a word to question him, and what he said was extremely right, Ajiu was speechless, and in the end he could only let him say that Ajiu had no brains.
The only picture that Ah Jiu could think of was that she watched Fu Yan take away her power until the end, but Ah Jiu couldn't do anything.
In Ah Jiu's words, she was used to being an emperor, but suddenly being a loser was really unbearable for her.
So she could only dismiss the idea.
Fu Yan had promised the late emperor that he would help her well, but he was not such a treacherous person. If he really wanted to take her country, why didn't he wait for her to grow up when she was still young? .
Wen Xiangxiang glanced at her contemptuously again, "You don't understand this, right? The most exciting part of history books in history is not the subjugation of the country, what's the use of stealing your empire when you are young, raising you After the relationship, it will give you a fatal blow, which will be unforgettable for the rest of your life. Then you will have the will to take revenge. In the end, you will kill him again and take back the land that belongs to you. Such a strategy is called a wonderful thing. Some wild history made up indiscriminately is called a successful history book, such a history book must have a witness, and that person is me."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at himself quite arrogantly, and Ah Jiu stared at him, "So, you stayed by my side to record my biography just to see my jokes?"
"That's not right!" Wen Xiangxiang was indeed very courageous. At the same time, he also paid the price for what he said. Ah Jiu rewarded him with a slap in the name of disobeying the monarch. He also expressed his dissatisfaction, so he was arrested. Xiao Dezi gagged his mouth and carried it back to Wen's house.
Ah Jiu thought about it later, if it was really Fu Yan who wanted to take her country, she would hand it over to him directly.
Ajiu looked at the situation in the court, all the ministers were debating whether to accept the imperial edict, she glanced at Fu Yan and the new minister behind him several times, shook her legs, looked at Fu Yan's her list.
"This minister is willing to go to Huodu to shake off the flood." A minister stood on the left. He lifted up his scarlet official robe and shouted with a bright voice, and stuck A Jiu's words in his throat.
She leaned forward and looked forward. This is also a new courtier, Yan Chuqing, who was selected by her in the palace examination. During the palace examination a month ago, Fu Yan said beside her, "The palace examination today is nothing but a falsehood. It's just a formality, Your Majesty only needs to take a formality, and the minister will send the selected talents to the court for appointment."
At that time, Ah Jiu nodded, "Uncle Huang is right. Since Uncle Huang has arranged everything, I will leave this matter to Uncle Huang."
"The minister obeys the order." Fu Yan replied respectfully to her, so he arranged a series of palace exams.
The new officials at that time were all arranged by Fu Yan, but Yan Chuqing was not the only one who was able to stand in front of Ah Jiu in the palace exam with his literary talent. Fu Yan said that the three who entered the palace exam were all three with outstanding literary talent .
Fu Yan meant to let Ah Jiu keep the two he arranged. Ah Jiu thought about it and said to Fu Yan: "Uncle, this Yan Chuqing must have some literary talent for the palace exam. He studied hard for ten years and came to the palace exam. I see. It's really not easy for him, why don't he stay
Ah Jiu looked up at Fu Yan, he stood upright beside Ah Jiu, staring at the three people in the hall, and Ah Jiu was holding the article presented by the three people.
Ajiu saw that Fu Yan didn't make any movement by her side, so she secretly squeezed her sleeves and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, Uncle Huang, you should pretend that I didn't say anything..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Fu Yan hunched over his body and said, "Since Your Majesty has said so, and to prevent the mouths of the ministers, then let's stay."
She pursed her lips and asked Fu Yan several times if he was sure to stay, but Fu Yan just said respectfully, "Since it is your Majesty's fancy, then stay" and so on, so after this, this Yan Chuqing stayed. , the current situation is that Yan Chuqing above the entire court is requesting to go to Huodu.
A Jiu stealthily looked at His Highness Fu Yan, he stood up straight, Yan Chuqing's request did not make him have much reaction, as if everything was what he expected, but he did not tell A Jiu, so A Jiu hesitated .
He hesitated whether to let the person Fu Yan gave to Ah Jiu to go with Yan Chuqing, after all, Ah Jiu had already taken the list given by Fu Yan.
Just when A Jiu was undecided, Fu Yan among the ministers raised his head, his handsome face smiled at A Jiu, and A Jiu nodded in understanding.
"Okay, then Yan Aiqing will go to Huodu with relief supplies. I remember that Yan Aiqing's official calendar is short, and now it's a good training opportunity, so I will send a new minister Yin Zheng to go with him."
Undoubtedly, Yin Zheng was the new minister that Fu Yan recommended to A Jiu. A Jiu realized the expression on the uncle's face and sent two people to go together.
"The minister leads the order." Yin Zheng and Yan Chuqing, who were behind Fu Yan, looked at each other, and they both bowed their heads in response.
After this matter, the ministers withdrew from the court without any objection.
Ah Jiu watched them retreat, and let out a long sigh of relief. She lifted up her long robe and was about to leave the hall, but with her ears tipped, she heard the two ministers behind the other ministers waving their hands and talking small words.
"Hey. Don't you think this Yin Zheng was recommended by King Huai Jin? There are many court officials, so why does Your Majesty remember Yin Zheng even if he has a bad memory?"
"Your Majesty is still young and doesn't understand right and wrong. Besides, this King Huai Jin often accompanies you to drive, and sometimes recites Yin Zheng's name and surname. I'm afraid that after listening to it for a long time, His Majesty will remember it."
"That's over." This one paused and continued, "Hey, why do you say that King Huai Jin Zuo always talks about Yin Zheng's name?"
"This can be considered a secret affair in the palace. I also heard it from a few maids in His Majesty's harem, saying that this King Huaijin and His Majesty often mention this Yin Zheng, and at this time, King Huaijin, who doesn't laugh often, will show a faint expression. Smile, this Yin Zheng is also an eight-footed man, handsome and fair, what does King Huai Jin mean, we don't know when we will know?"
"Haha!" Hearing a long wicked laugh, Ah Jiu was instantly refreshed.
This person continued: "It's not forbidding to go to the imperial capital first, why should King Huai Jin hide it! Haha..."
Listening to the lewd laughter of the two getting away, Ah Jiu sat there for a long time without moving. Even Ah Jiu, who lived in the deep palace for a long time, knew that this kind of emotion was called short-sleeved. The uncle of the language and the respectful Yin Zheng are actually under my nose, she is confused...
"Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the study?" Xiao Dezi bowed and reminded her.
"Go back." Ajiu stepped forward, turned around and asked Xiaodezi, "Xiaodezi, do you think Uncle Huang really likes Yin Zheng?"
"This... slaves don't dare to speak blunders." Xiaodezi said eloquently.
