The emperor who had just ascended the throne decided not to go to court early in the morning. In the deep palace, he enjoyed fighting crickets and watching beauties dancing every day.

It's not for national affairs at all.

This situation lasted for about ten days. The Queen Mother Zhuge Linglong finally couldn't bear it anymore. When she came to the emperor's palace, she scolded him.

At this time, Zhao Yuan was still hugging the beautiful woman from left to right.

Seeing the Queen Mother approaching, she was furious and drove all the beauties left and right out.

He straightened his clothes, stood up and said: "Mother, what you said makes sense. I also want to be a wise king who can carry forward the past and open up the future, but have you and that Prime Minister Xiao given me a chance?

I want to severely punish corrupt officials, but you don't agree. I don't want to rely on nepotism, I don't want the power of aristocratic families to control the court, and I want to re-employ the children of poor families, will you give me a chance?

Every time I want to make a decision, what I encounter is your opposition and veto. You always have many reasons, but you just want me to be a puppet emperor. I promise you, I will be this puppet emperor!"

Zhuge Linglong frowned and said, "My mother is doing this for your own good. You are still young and there are many things that you cannot understand yet! In the world of the Wei Dynasty, except for the years when the Supreme Emperor ruled the world, the status of poor families has been raised.

But after the Supreme Emperor abdicated, the disciples from poor families gradually withered away, resulting in today's situation where aristocratic families and the imperial power rule the world together. There is nothing wrong with this! Your Majesty, if you want to be the Supreme Emperor, you must first learn to be a generous and benevolent emperor.

The stomach can also accommodate things and be calm, and it must be smooth in dealing with things."

Hearing the sound, Zhao Yuan snorted coldly: "These high-sounding principles of the Queen Mother are really strong words. Now, this court belongs to you. You can do whatever you want, and I will never care about it."

.

Is this not in line with the Queen Mother's wishes? But if I go to court in the morning, I am afraid that I will have to make an argument about the appointment of Enke's number one scholar and the Zhuge family's children to fill the official vacancies. I just don't know how the Queen Mother will deal with this.

Something?"

Zhuge Linglong said as if he hated iron and said: "Your Majesty! The Zhuge family has been loyal to the family and country for generations. Could it be that we can't serve as officials in the court and continue to be loyal to you in this way? Could it be that you can't even do this?

You can't tolerate all the things? Can't you know how to make good use of people?"

Zhao Yuan sneered and shook his head: "Zhuge Dan, the newly appointed governor of Yunxiang, oppresses good people, occupies fields, and robs women. He does all kinds of evil. Is this kind of person worthy of being an official of our great Wei Dynasty?"

Zhuge Linglong was stunned for a moment, thought about the words, and said helplessly: "The Queen Mother will investigate this matter. If it is true, the Queen Mother will definitely warn him."

"Warning?"

Zhao Yuan couldn't believe his ears. He said, "Mother, do you know that according to his crime, it is a capital crime! An unforgivable capital crime!"

As he spoke, a sense of indignation arose.

"enough!"

Zhuge Linglong turned around and said coldly: "It seems that Your Majesty was addicted to wine and sex today and was too drunk. It is better to wait until he is sober before talking about this matter."

She left the emperor's palace.

After returning to Cining Palace, he sighed: "What can the Queen Mother do? After all, the Queen Mother is a member of the Zhuge family. Over the years, the talents of the Zhuge family have withered. If the Queen Mother does not do anything, I am afraid that the Zhuge family will disappear."

In the dust of history.”

After a pause, she shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, you are still too young. You cannot rub a grain of sand in your eyes. How can you understand that when the water is clear, there will be no fish."

After the Empress Dowager left, Zhao Yuan issued an imperial edict and named Xiao Xuanwu a 'Taiwei'.

Three days later, Xiao Xuanwu was given a gold medal to avoid death.

Half a month later, Zhao Yuan found another reason and rewarded Xiao Xuanwu with the right to ride horses in the forbidden palace.

A few days later, he handed over all the military power of the Forbidden Army to Xiao Xuanwu, and asked him to control the world's soldiers and horses, and granted him the position of 'Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses'.

Then...

Xiao Xuanwu was made king by Zhao Yuan.

After the Wei Dynasty unified the world, the first king with a different surname appeared.

After Zhuge Linglong learned the news, she was shocked and quickly came to the emperor's palace to ask, "Your Majesty, how can you make Xiao Xuanwu king?"

At this time, Zhao Yuan was fighting with crickets. While playing with the crickets, he said: "Mother, why are you panicking? Do you think you can't bear the title of king? He hasn't accepted it yet.

What? After he accepts the throne, my mother will teach me a lesson."

"Being granted a king with a different surname is something that has never happened since the Wei Dynasty unified the world! Which of the original nine-state commanders has not experienced hundreds of battles? Even though they have meritorious service, they have not been granted a king with a different surname! The Supreme Emperor has long said

However, people with different surnames cannot be crowned king!" Zhuge Linglong was very angry.

This is no small matter.

When Zhao Yuan was about to say something, a eunuch walked into the palace and presented a memorial to the Queen Mother.

Zhuge Linglong was indignant, so she opened the memorial and read it. The more she read, the more puzzled she became.

"But what about the fact that the regent resigned due to illness?" Zhao Yuan said.

"you know?"

"Of course, Queen Mother, I agree."

Zhuge Linglong temporarily put the fold aside and said: "Feng Xiao Xuanwu is something that cannot be done! I hope your majesty will think twice!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "There is nothing to think twice about. Not only do I want to make Xiao Xuanwu the King of Side by Side and share the world with him equally, I also want him to be my teacher. By the way, the one named Zhuge Dan will also be made the King."

Well, just make him King Yan."

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Linglong was furious.

Zhao Yuan waved his hand, "Mother, my son and I need to rest. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow."

...

In this way, with Xiao Xuanwu pushing three times and giving in three times, he successfully became the king of the tie.

And that Zhuge Dan also came to the capital and became King of Yan.

After Zhao Hongji resigned, Zhao Yuan specifically made Zhuge Dan the left prime minister.

What seemed like a playful move made Xiao Xuanwu and Zhuge Linglong feel uneasy in their hearts.

A whole year later, Zhao Yuan did not leave the palace.

Nowadays, he completely ignores military and political affairs.

Everything was handed over to Xiao Xuanwu.

However, a major event happened this year. Hundreds of officials blocked the door, determined not to allow the Queen Mother to continue to govern.

Under pressure, Zhuge Linglong switched from being in front of the stage to behind the scenes.

She even has no actual decision-making power behind the scenes.

As early as half a year ago, facing the smoky court, King Changlin said that he was ill at home and would not go to the morning court.

Cining Palace.

The emperor paid his regards to the Queen Mother.

"Mother, are you satisfied with today's situation?" Zhao Yuan asked.

Zhuge Linglong frowned, "Yuan'er, what do you mean?"

"What's the meaning?"

Zhao Yuan sneered and said: "Mother, if you hadn't insisted on conspiring with Xiao Xuanwu, why would I have done this? Now, Xiao Xuanwu is so powerful that everything is over. From now on, you and I, mother and son, will just stay in the deep palace.

Let’s take care of ourselves.”

After saying this, Zhao Yuan turned around and left the hall.

Afterwards, Zhuge Linglong burst into tears.

After the Empress Dowager stepped down, almost all the Zhuge family members were killed and some were expelled. In short, the power of the Zhuge family that Zhuge Linglong had worked so hard to manage was completely wiped out by King Xiao Xuanwu.

After learning the news, Zhuge Linglong was in grief. Looking at the portrait of Taizong Zhao Hongqing, she said with grief: "Am I really wrong? I just want to make the Zhuge family feel better, and I want Yuan'er to be more sensible, but why did this happen?

The land is like this today? Yuan'er, why did you insist on making Xiao Xuanwu a king with a different surname in the first place?"

Then, she laughed at herself, "It seems like it's my fault. If it weren't for me, Yuan'er wouldn't be radical, but I only have that little bit of selfishness."

Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhao Yuan received a secret message from the regent from Yanzhou, saying that he had united the Kyushu army and was waiting for his order.
