Wei and Jin cooks

"Oh?" Zhao Hanzhang asked with a smile, "Does Master Xun have someone in mind?"

Xun Zu said: "Wang Siniang, the governor of Jingzhou, is beautiful and smart, and she is the daughter of the Wang family. She should be in the middle palace."

He added: "I heard that General Beigong has a daughter who is also known as a virtuous woman. If the general is unable to make a decision for the moment, he can summon virtuous women from all over the world to Luoyang to select her."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled, turned to ask the young emperor, "Does your Majesty want to marry the middle palace?"

The little emperor shook his head repeatedly, his face turned pale.

He couldn't understand what he read, but he did understand something. The establishment of a queen meant that he was going to be an adult and would be in charge, and then... he would die.

Look at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and look at Cao Mao. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died a good death, many people who followed him died during his troubles. He himself was also frightened. He didn't want to live like that.

The little emperor went to see Xun Fan and Xun Zu with tears in his eyes. He only had two uncles. If he was like Emperor Xian of Han, his two uncles would be the first to die.

And Cao Mao, the little emperor shuddered when he thought about Cao Mao's ending.

No, he doesn’t want to be a queen, he doesn’t want to be Cao Mao, if he does, he should be Cao Huan!

The little emperor shook his head from Xun Fan and Xun Zu who were watching him.

Xun Fan expressed his understanding and said: "Your Majesty is still young, so there is no rush to appoint him to the palace. He should still focus on his studies now."

Xun Zu immediately objected, "Teacher Xun, your Majesty is already eleven after the Chinese New Year. He is already quite old. After the engagement and the national ceremony, another one or two years have passed..."

"Okay, tonight is New Year's Eve. You two should not quarrel over such things. A good thing will turn into a bad thing." Zhao Hanzhang said: "I know what Master Xun means, but marriage matters not only depend on the order of the parents and the matchmaker." Yan, I still need to listen to the opinions of both parties. The candidates you proposed are all excellent, so this matter must not only be for Your Majesty, but also ask those virtuous girls if they are willing to enter the palace?"

Xun Zu: "How dare they disobey the holy order?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "This is boring, isn't it? You can't disobey the imperial order, but hasn't it been issued yet? I don't like to force others to do things. Your Majesty also means the same, so why did Master Xun force them?"

"As the mother of the country, the palace must select the most virtuous people. It is a great honor for them to be selected. How can it be forced?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "A is like honey, B is like arsenic. Master Xun still has read too few books, so he has this idea of ​​​​using himself to judge others. I think, not only your Majesty needs to study more, Master Xun also needs to study more." "

She said: "After the new year, Master Xun should study more behind closed doors and give less advice."

Xun Zu's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to bleed under the attention of all the officials.

Xun Fan sighed. During the following palace banquet, almost no one dared to openly come to Xun Zu for a drink. He seemed to be isolated.

Sitting on top of Zhao Erlang, Wang silently picked up the wine glass and took a sip to satisfy her heart. When she saw Princess Hongnong looking at her diagonally across the way, she immediately smiled at her.

Zhao Hanzhang exposed the matter and generously allowed everyone to continue performing their skills and eating, drinking and chatting.

Ji Yuan and Ming Yu have been busy these days. They talked to many officials and persuaded them to agree to the bill that Zhao Hanzhang wanted to change. Of course, her unique wedding was not recorded in the "Etiquette" in the end. As for the future civil affairs Any changes to the rituals will depend on whether the court's regulations and management methods are strict.

If she is loose and open-minded, there is no telling who will really imitate her.

At midnight, everyone left drunkenly.

The young emperor had been on pins and needles since he proposed the marriage to Xun Zu. As soon as the palace banquet was over, he left the palace first. Regardless of Zhao Hanzhang's suspicion, he immediately sent someone to invite Xun Fan and Xun Zu.

If he doesn't meet tonight, he won't have a chance to see them in the next seven days. Who knows if Team Xun will misunderstand him and do something in his name outside?

He also knew that he would not be able to hide Zhao Hanzhang from them when he saw them at this time, but he did not want to hide it from her. Anyway, no matter what time, things in the palace could not be hidden from her.

So the little emperor just wanted to ask the chamberlains and maids to step aside. He had no control over where they would hide and peek.

Xun Fan and Xun Zu hurried to see the young emperor.

The little emperor burst into tears when he saw the two of them and asked, "Why do my two uncles force me to kill me?"

Xun Fan remained silent, while Xun Zu asked heartbrokenly, "Why did your Majesty say this?"

"Doesn't Third Uncle know the consequences of me establishing the Zhonggong?" The little emperor asked with tears: "Now I get along quite well with the general. She is in charge of the government, and I can only be an emperor who studies. Why should I What about forcing Li Zhonggong?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Now Zhao Hanzhang needs your Majesty to fulfill her reputation. If you don't take advantage of this to develop your power, once she regains the noble family, you will have no chance to turn around."

The little emperor asked in a daze: "Third uncle, I have already expressed that I do not want to fight with the general. Are you... still going to fight with her?"

Xun Zu had a righteous look on his face and lowered his voice: "I understand your Majesty's concerns. You can't help yourself in the palace, and there are people watching around you. But it doesn't matter. You can blame everything on us. Zhao Hanzhang had known that we had This is a plan, but she still needs us and you to stabilize the people's hearts and will not break up with us."

Little Emperor:......

The little emperor wiped away his tears and stopped crying at all. He carefully looked at Xun Zu's expression, and after confirming that what he said was true, he couldn't help but ask: "Third uncle, do you think I can be a good emperor?"

Xun Zu said with a serious face: "Your Majesty is smart, and in time you will become a wise king."

Little Emperor: "...I have studied very hard. I am not hiding my clumsiness, but I am really not smart. I am far behind Zhao Hanzhang. Do you think I can be a good emperor?"

Xun Zu said seriously: "Your Majesty is orthodox..."

"What is orthodox and unorthodox?" the young emperor asked Xun Fan: "When did King Chenliu of Wei die?"

Xun Fan said: "He died in the second year of Yongning."

The little emperor counted on his fingers.

Xun Fan saw it and said silently: "Eight years."

The little emperor put down his hand and said: "Look, the last emperor of Wei has only been dead for eight years. Although I am young and ill-read, I often hear my father and brothers talk about our ancestors. This throne is not right for us, so No one in the noble family agrees, so the Jin Dynasty is hampered everywhere in its work."

He said to Xun Zu sincerely: "Third uncle, I mean it sincerely. You may think that I have no ambitions, but people need to be self-aware. It's not that I haven't seen those government affairs, but I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to do it." I don’t want to be a noble countryman, I just want to be King Chenliu.”

He cried and said: "If my third uncle forces me again, the most I can do is to be like Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty can have a good death. I think General Zhao likes fame and will definitely not be willing to kill me, but it is different for my uncles." ”

Xun Zu: ...Gong Gaogui was the emperor who was killed in the street by the Sima family in the previous dynasty. King Chenliu was the last emperor of the Wei Dynasty. He had been living well and could be said to have died at a healthy age.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was usurped by the Cao family, but he also died. After his death, the funeral was grand. That is, everyone around him, who wanted to help him regain his power, were all dead.

Including but not limited to his wives, father-in-law...

Xun Zu shuddered.

See you tomorrow
