After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

End of Chapter 502

After Gu Mingda left the palace, the old chief assistant was retained by the emperor.

"If Your Majesty is not sure about the candidate at the moment, why not first invite those clan members who are dawdling around out of the school?" the chief assistant said.

The emperor shook his head.

"I already have a candidate in mind."

When the chief minister heard this, he didn't ask any further questions. He just said: "Your Majesty has unique vision, and a person who can be valued by you will naturally have his merits."

However, the emperor did not betray himself. He always trusted his chief minister and said directly: "Li Xuan."

The first assistant was stunned when he heard this.

The emperor continued: "With a firm mind and noble character, I can trust you no matter whether it is thousands of miles of land or anything else."

The chief minister was wondering what "something else" was, but he didn't think much about it and said, "Your Majesty has really made up his mind?"

The emperor nodded, with a tired look on his face: "If you don't want to read anymore, it's just him."

Three days later, the news that Li Xuan was named King Ding became known both internally and externally.

The other clan members did not receive such grace, and they were even sent out of the palace.

Niuniu, who had already dropped out of school, suddenly started studying again.

She no longer studies with other young girls, but attends a small class. There are more than a dozen teachers in the class, but there are only two students, Niu Niu and Li Xuan.

Some of the masters made a fuss.

"Your Majesty, how can a little girl study with Prince Ding? This is simply ridiculous!" The elderly Mr. Sun puffed his beard and stared in worry in Wuji Hall.

The emperor said casually: "This is no ordinary little girl, but the future crown princess, or even the future queen."

"It is virtue for a woman to have no talent..." the old man said.

When the emperor heard this, he glanced at the old man in confusion: "I heard in a daze that it is virtue for a woman to have no talent. The word 'bian'tong'bian' means that if a woman has no other talents, it is also a virtue to be able to distinguish right from wrong." ”

When the old man heard this, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

The emperor was not too polite to him and said directly: "Master Sun is not good at learning and cannot mislead his disciples. It is better to leave the teaching of the king to others."

Mr. Sun immediately became anxious when he heard this. King Ding is the only descendant of the clan who remains. It can be seen from his title that this means that the world has been decided.

Originally, he became the prince's teacher. With this face and love, he would be able to shadow the family in the future.

But he lost the credit he could get by lying down.

The emperor had made up his mind and did not allow anyone else to change his mind. In the past, he did not want Niu Niu to study because he felt that she did not need to study because he was here. Now that he allowed Niu Niu to study, he thought that if the person who protected Niu Niu was not him, she would have to be more capable. , to gain a foothold in the palace.

After dismissing a teacher, it was considered as a warning to the monkeys. Others who also had objections to Niu Niu's identity as a woman did not dare to say anything more. They could only hold their noses and admit it, and the two children taught together.

Although the emperor has chosen the future prince, he is not close to Prince Ding. Even though he inquires carefully, he rarely summons Prince Ding.

What followed was the rapid aging of the emperor, and his whole person was declining day by day, as if his blood had been sucked dry by something.

In the third year of Niu Niu's studies as the future crown princess, the twelve-year-old Li Xuan was issued an explicit edict by the emperor, confirming the identity of the future prince.

Concubine Shun was named queen, and Li Xuan was adopted as the queen's legitimate son, and was granted the title of prince. The emperor added a marriage decree to ensure that Niu Niu's status as the future crown princess was unshakable.

After Li Xuan began to participate in political affairs as the prince, the emperor gradually transferred his authority downwards. In the past three years, the emperor also showed extraordinary trust in Gu Mingda. Gu Mingda seemed to have been cheated, and his official position was steadily promoted. After the former Minister of the Ministry of Personnel became an official, Gu Mingda was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and entered the cabinet.

Another six months later, the first assistant became official, and Gu Mingda was promoted to the first assistant. In the court, there was almost one person below ten thousand people.

The Queen Mother was already very old. She was seriously ill in bed after contracting the cold.

Even if Niu Niu went to the palace to personally attend to the illness, she would still be unable to return.

There were also smart people in the court who proposed that the prince and princess get married in advance to celebrate the queen mother's happiness, but they were all rejected by the emperor.

Three months after the death of the Queen Mother, the emperor, who was immersed in the pain of losing his mother, fell seriously ill.

His body withered quickly like a dry river bed. When Niu Niu saw him for the last time, his whole body was like a dry old tree in winter.

When the emperor was dying, he looked at Niu Niu for the last time with his cloudy eyes, and then he completely lost his life.

"The Emperor dies!"

With this wailing, the emperor who had ruled the country for more than 20 years left, and the country ushered in a new ruler.

Thirteen-year-old Li Xuan already had the title of prince. At this time, his succession was justifiable. With the support of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Xuan successfully ascended the throne and became emperor.

He had already experienced a year of political participation, and with Gu Mingda as the chief minister taking the lead in surrendering, power changed smoothly.

Occasionally, there were a few stubborn courtiers who wanted to bully the emperor because he was young and easy to fool. However, after several times of killing chickens to scare the monkeys, there were no such voices in the court.

After the three-year period of national mourning expired, the emperor prepared for two years before marrying his queen with the highest standards.

The new emperor is different from the old emperor. Even after five years of marriage, he has never had a son or a daughter. The new emperor still has no intention of having any concubines.

Even with Gu Mingda's presence, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty still had the shadow of the previous dynasty in their hearts, fearing that the new emperor would have to spend half his life just like the old emperor to have a daughter.

The new emperor's harem was empty, and every family was eager to fill it with their own daughters. They asked the emperor to open a draft to recruit new talents all day long.

But all were rejected by the emperor.

The courtiers put pressure on Gu Mingda again.

Gu Mingda was famous for doting on his daughter, so he retorted on the spot: "The queen has no children, the queen is not in a hurry, your majesty is not in a hurry, and the queen mother is not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry?"

When the courtiers heard this, they still held the banner of "national foundation": "The royal family's continuation of heirs is the most important matter. The queen's mother-in-law honors the world and sets an example for the women of the world. How can it be delayed because of selfish desires? National affairs?"

What they said was righteous, but Gu Mingda's talk was not in vain: "Master Chen has time to worry about whether His Majesty and the Queen will have children, so why not worry more about your own ineffective children? Your Sanlang is a bully." Girl, everyone in the capital knows that a life has been caused, how will you end it?"

Mr. Chen, who was still shouting about "national foundation", was immediately speechless.

There was a censor participating in the matter on the spot, and the theme of the court meeting was changed from the draft to the participation. The so-called national dispute came to an end immediately.

When it was almost time to go to court, the new emperor lightly threw a bomb out.

"I want to follow the old example of Li and Tang Dynasty, and the two saints are coming to the court. What do you all think?"

When the courtiers heard this, their minds were buzzing, "Li and Tang's old rules, two saints come to court." Who can the emperor not follow? Should he follow the example of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty and support Wu Zetian?

"Your Majesty, you must not!" The courtiers wailed more sincerely this time. No one dared to say anything about the harem, and they just begged the queen not to come to the former court.
