Chongzheng Hall is located deep in the inner city, close to the northernmost part of the imperial city, and is the place where the emperor stays most often. All the activities of the palace examinations, prisoners, officials summoning and introducing and selecting bans are carried out here. Of course, there are also military heads to test martial arts artists and martial arts performers, which are also here.

For the current emperor, Chongzheng Hall has another meaning. Since he ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, he has always been the empress dowager who has been in charge of the country. At first, he didn’t feel that he was young. Now, ten years have passed, he is over 20 years old, and the empress dowager is still in charge of all major national affairs. Even the people with no temper are angry.

The Empress Dowager ruled the affairs behind the curtain in Duanming Hall next to her, and this Chongzheng Hall is the personal place of the emperor. She is relatively unrestrained in doing anything. The little emperor likes to stay here when he has nothing to do.

Today, the Chongzheng Hall was particularly lively. Shi Quanbin, who came back from Yongzhou, brought Xu Ping's victory against Jiaozhi, and brought back all kinds of novel and novel activities to demonstrate the victory to the little emperor in the hall.

Near the hall gate, Liu Yongnian led a group of young men, holding wooden swords and swords, eager to try.

Liu Yongnian was Liu Congde's son. His father died early and was raised in the palace since he was a child. He was allowed to live outside the palace at the age of twelve.

Liu Congde had no talent or virtue, but relied on Empress Dowager Liu's favor and was rich and unparalleled throughout his life, but his behavior was nothing to be desired. This son was completely different from his father. He was very skilled in calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and was brave and powerful. He was not inferior to ordinary generals in swords and swords. He was both civil and military.

The little emperor loved him very much and often kept him by his side since he was a child, which caused discussion among the ministers and forced him to move out of the palace.

Speaking of Liu Yongnian, we must talk about the gossip news about the little emperor.

It is said that when he was electing the queen, the young emperor was interested in a girl named Wang in the empress dowager's hometown, but the empress dowager did not choose the current Empress Guo on the grounds that the girl was too beautiful and unsuitable. She turned around and married the unselected girl to her ex-husband's son Liu Congde, who was also Liu Yongnian's mother. Liu Congde died early, and the young widowed Mrs. Liu often went in and out of the palace in the name of visiting the queen mother. The young emperor raised Liu Yongnian by his side since childhood. All kinds of things were added together. There were rumors in the capital that the young emperor had an affair with Mrs. Liu, and Liu Yongnian was actually the illegitimate son of the young emperor.

This kind of thing is true and false, and the people in the capital have always been whispered. After much transmission, the ministers from the outside court cannot really check the truth or falsehood of this matter. The little emperor has always given people a handle on his private life, especially men and women, so he worked together to expel Liu Yongnian from the palace to make trouble.

Although he could not live in the palace, Liu Yongnian could still enter and exit the palace freely. In today's lively scenes, he led a group of royal family and young relatives to play the role of the attacking Jiaozhi army.

Shi Quanbin and a few small yellow gates played the role of the defensive Song Jun. He carefully fiddled with various instruments and checked them correctly. Shi Quanbin said to the little emperor: "The official family is ready, everything is ready, and I will obey your order."

The little emperor waved his hand excitedly and said, "Since it's done, start."

Liu Yongnian, next to the hall gate, gave a military salute as if he was: "Abide by the orders"

After saying that, he waved the wooden knife in his hand and rushed towards the small yellow gates in the hall.

This young man has grown up in the palace since he was a child. He is always used to being respectful to the little yellow sect. He suddenly saw him rushing towards him and panic.

Shi Quanbin knocked on the head of the little yellow door next to him and cursed: "How can my Song Dynasty official army be caught off guard and not fire the artillery quickly?"

The little yellow gate woke up and lit the mini-shaped cannon in front of him in panic.

With a bang, a pea flew out of the muzzle, and Liu Yongnian's lower abdomen rushed towards him.

Seeing that Liu Yongnian was not concerned, Shi Quanbin hurriedly shouted loudly: "Dalang. You have already been shot, so why can't you continue to act like this?"

Liu Yongnian picked up the peas that fell to the ground and said disdainfully: "I am a general on the battlefield with a sharp sword. How can a pea beat me down?"

Shi Quanbin said helplessly: "We perform martial arts in front of the Guan family in the palace. Of course, we use peas. If it is above the battle formation, the huge rocks as big as the head are shot out of the cannon. Not to mention Dalang, they will be defeated in their prime."

Liu Yongnian was still dissatisfied. He looked at the sitting young emperor and asked loudly: "Official family. I'm going to be so sarcastic."

"It's over, it's over." The little emperor waved his hand with a smile, "You are playing the Jiaozhi general now. If you are hit by my Song Dynasty, how can you not fall?"

Liu Yongnian had no choice but to fall slowly to the ground with a bitter face and leaned on the knife, and still shook his hands and feet on the ground unwilling to accept it.

When the leader was caught in the cannon, he fell to the ground. The other boys were stunned for a moment, looking left and right in the spot, hesitating whether to continue attacking.

When Liu Yongnian saw this, he was so angry that he lay on the ground and beat the ground with his fists: "How can you look around and look at the two armies to meet? You should strive forward bravely. Why don't you rush forward quickly?"

The little yellow sects won the first battle, and immediately came up with courage. They fiddled with mini crossbow arrows and stuffed gunpowder into the cannon to fill peas, and were busy for a while.

At the mouth of the valley, there were more than 10,000 troops in Jiaozhi, but in just a few rounds of gunfire, the army was defeated under the rain of arrows. These young men in the palace were spoiled since childhood, laughing and hilarious, and they were even more unable to avoid it.

Seeing the young men either got shot or crossbow arrows, they fell to the ground one after another, the little emperor was overjoyed and asked Shi Quanbin on the side: "You are a play in Wu Tai, it's so easy to win in the valley."

"The official clarified the battle in the valley that day. The young man witnessed it with his own eyes. In just half a day, he wiped out more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Jiaozhi, and there were no casualties in our Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was responsible for the command, and Xu Ping won the victory more easily than it was shown in the palace today."

Liu Yongnian jumped up from the ground and shouted, "President, you are too exaggerating. The swords and guns meet on the battle formation, and arrows fly. How can we win the battle without getting close to us? Just now, we didn't go through the battle formation, and the formations are chaotic. Why not compete again?"

Ma Jiliang is Liu Yongnian's biological uncle. Although he has been in the palace since he was a child, he has only heard of the dispute between the Ma family and the Xu family. He is still prejudiced to Xu Ping in his heart. How can he be willing to grow Xu Ping's face easily

The little emperor was in high spirits and was about to agree to Liu Yongnian's words. A small yellow gate standing at the door came in and said, "The official family, I will give Luo Chongxun a visit to him."

This is a purple-red figure beside the Queen Mother. The little emperor dared not neglect and hurried to him into the palace.

Chongzheng Hall is where the emperor handles government affairs and meets ministers on a daily basis. Since Emperor Zhenzong, in order to prevent the leakage of court secrets, there are eunuchs and soldiers inside and outside. The doors and windows are covered, and they are not allowed to enter if they want to enter. With Luo Chongxun's status, he cannot enter if he wants to enter.

After receiving the order, Luo Chongxun saw the rituals to the young emperor. He said calmly: "The empress dowager teaches the young man to ask the official family why the lecture is just today."

Both Taizu and Taizong were diligent in government affairs and set rules for the Japanese and Koreans. Before dawn, they went to court, and then called ministers to deal with political affairs in the palace, often until late at night. In the later period of Zhenzong's health, they changed to two days and once every day, which continued until now. The little emperor had fewer days in court, but his daily routine was ruled. He went to court to watch affairs in the morning, and worked with the empress dowager in the palace to handle political affairs with the prime minister, and in the afternoon, there was a lecture. Following a few famous Confucian ministers, he often had to work with the empress dowager in the evening.

Today I have to watch Shi Quanbin perform martial arts in the palace, so I will be given the imperial lecture. Because the empress dowager has been feeling unwell these days, the young emperor took his own initiative and did not ask for leave from the empress dowager. Unexpectedly, the empress dowager sent someone to question the crime after he found out.

Empress Dowager Liu has always been strict and has been very strict in governing the young emperor. Not only did he control the national affairs, but he even inquire about the food and daily life of the young emperor. Even Yang Guifei, who has taken care of the set rules since childhood, had to be carefully abide by the habits he developed since childhood. The young emperor has always been a little afraid of the queen mother.

Hearing that Luo Chongxun was in charge of the Empress Dowager Luo, the young emperor hurriedly stood up and said, "Shi Tingbin came back from Yongzhou and demonstrated the battle in Yongzhou in the hall today, so he temporarily gave up the lecture for one day. The eldest lady was in poor health recently. She didn't want to distract him, but she didn't tell me."

Luo Chongxun said: "For the sake of Yongzhou, the empress dowager was very upset. Unexpectedly, the government family was still watching these children's tricks here. Just now, the grandson Lu brought the prime minister to the palace to ask for advice. What he said was that the empress dowager had asked them to stay in Duanming Palace for a while. The government family also quickly passed by."

This little emperor, the Renzong emperor in Xu Ping's previous life, has always been known for being generous and unlucky. The eunuchs under him, especially the popular eunuchs in front of the empress dowager, have always had no rules in front of him. Since childhood, they have become accustomed to Luo Chongxun's face today.

Of course, outsiders would not know whether the little emperor has a temper. But from his various deeds, he may still have a temper, but it was just covered up by his shocking restraint.

Empress Dowager Liu was a stern mother. She had been in charge of the little emperor since she was a child. However, Yang Guifei, who was responsible for the daily life of the little emperor, was completely different. She was full of spoiled to the little emperor and even fought with him against the strict rules set by Empress Dowager Liu.

Raised by such two mothers, the little emperor can be as close to them as they are, and they are not as good as ordinary children who treat them well, and they hate who care about them. They have extraordinary demeanor and knowledge.

In the history of Xu Ping's previous life, this characteristic of Emperor Renzong almost ran throughout his life. In public affairs, he was extremely restrained, and he was sprayed with spit on his face and wiped his face as if he was fine. However, he was very willful in private affairs and almost unreasonable. He deposed the queen and appointed the queen. No one could persuade him to post the person he liked as the queen. He favored his eldest daughter Princess Ankang, and variously violated the rules and caused the biggest scandal of the princess of the Song Dynasty. Several emperors who succeeded him complained deeply, and Emperor Shenzong even made special rules for this.

Renzong in history should be said to have regarded being an emperor as his profession, and was not very enthusiastic about this profession. However, he showed extremely high professional ethics and played this role conscientiously.

Until the Song Dynasty moved south, Renzong in history did not have a high evaluation in the eyes of the Song people. As the saying goes, "Emperor Renzong knew nothing but could become an official." Because he was not very satisfied with the emperor's job, he rarely had courageous measures, but he was very professional and treated the emperor as if he was similar.

Today, the changes Xu Ping brought to the world have finally truly affected the little emperor. He must make a choice. After the choice, can he still become the emperor with the mentality of a small employee?

I have always said that I would add updates after having the leader, but after so many days I couldn't add them. I felt that my words were almost gone. Today I had settled this promise and I felt much more relaxed. The two updates tonight were as usual, thank you for your support. To be continued.
