The first court meeting after the new king ascended the throne.
The little emperor sat at the top, and beside him stood a little eunuch, Xiao Anzi.
Under the steps, the head of the hundred officials is the regent, Chu Rui.
It was nearly two months before the government started, and there were too many things that needed to be discussed. It was not until almost noon that some major issues related to the national economy and people's livelihood were finally discussed.
After all, Chu Hongyu is a child under eight years old, and he has long been unable to sit still.
But he knew what he was going to do.
When there was no one to report again, he finally spoke: "What do you all, dear friends, think of the matter of sending troops to the east?"
Pingjin Hou immediately stood up and said: "Before his death, the late emperor said that he would send 100,000 troops for reinforcements. It's time to make arrangements. If we fight, we must defeat the Dongling Kingdom!"
Lord Qi of the Military Aircraft Department retorted quietly: "Pingjin Marquis does not understand military affairs, so naturally he dares to say such big words. Do you know why the Jin Dynasty's 130,000 soldiers are unable to advance or retreat near the sea? The Dongling Kingdom is a small country, and it often relies on naval battles to plunder resources. , it is not an exaggeration to call them the overlords of the sea. Although their ships are smaller than ours, they are extremely flexible and always catch us off guard. Therefore, the battlefield becomes stalemate, with no way to advance or retreat. No matter how many reinforcements are arranged, As long as it enters the sea, it will be a loss of life. I wonder if the emperor understands what Weichen said?"
Chu Hongyu's little nose wrinkled.
He didn't understand, but he remembered every word. He asked Mr. Wang later and looked through the library to see what was going on.
The Minister of War sighed and said: "We can only let those 130,000 elite soldiers guard Linhai to form a long line of defense and prohibit the Dongling people from landing to cause trouble!"
"Then, as the Minister of War said, let 130,000 troops be stationed in Linhai City!" Chu Rui made the final decision and changed the topic, "Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, it is not suitable for him to study in the Imperial College. From now on, Taishi Xu will teach alone. Wei Chen thinks , we should also choose a few more companion readers to accompany the emperor to study together."
Li Shoufu nodded: "That's right, but Master Xu is a little busy..."
"Nothing is as important as the Emperor's affairs." Taishi Xu said, "I have asked myself to resign from other official positions and concentrate on studying with the Emperor."
Generally speaking, first-class ministers like the Grand Master and Grand Tutor only have fictitious duties, and they have other real duties. The two combined together are the first-class ministers who truly hold real power.
Xu Taishi's move made Li Shoufu unable to say anything against it, so he had to say: "The little grandson of a humble minister is the same size as the emperor, so it is better to be the emperor's companion."
For a big family like theirs, only one child in each generation can enter the Imperial College. His eldest grandson studied in the Imperial College, and his younger grandson entered the family school. He is the best among the children in the family. I hope that he can accompany the emperor to grow up. A benevolent king.
Chu Rui took the words and continued: "In addition, the third son of the Minister of Industry, the youngest son of Taiwei Zhao, and the legitimate grandson of King Taihe, what does the emperor think?"
Both Shangshu and Taiwei were first-class ministers, and Prince Taihe was the brother of the late emperor and a respectable prince. It was indeed within the regulations to arrange for the legitimate sons of these families to accompany the emperor.
but--
Yunze's eyes darkened.
These children from this family were notoriously ignorant in the capital. They allowed a group of urchins to study with the emperor, and their ambitions were obvious.
He came out and said: "Your Majesty is young, so it is not enough to arrange only Xi to accompany you as a reading companion. Yun Zhenjiang, the eldest son of Weichen, has a quick mind and is worthy of being a reading companion..."
"No, no, no, I don't want Brother Jiang." Chu Hongyu suddenly lied, "He is too dull, I don't like him."
Chu Rui raised his lips slightly and asked, "How is Meng Shen, the son of Princess Qinghua?"
"He can't do it either, he looks like a little old man." Chu Hongyu stood up and thought for a while, "Except for those arranged by the regent, I think the youngest son of the Gongsun family is good, and Mr. Lin, isn't it? Do you have a son? And..."
He talked to several people.
The smile on Chu Rui's face deepened.
This young emperor is just a playful child and has nothing to fear.
How could such a smart person as Yun Chu raise... Oh, yes, he remembered that the new emperor was not Yun Chu's biological child.
After the court meeting, Chu Hongyu was finally able to rest.
However, the class was scheduled for half an hour later, and he did not have time to go to Kangning Palace, so he had to eat in a hurry, change clothes, and go to the Imperial Study Room.
Yun Chu had heard some things about the court.
She walked around the palace, first going to the Cold Palace, which was now being repaired. From then on, there was no Cold Palace in the palace.
If you don't love someone, you won't love her anymore. Why must you be relegated to the cold palace? This is the greatest injustice to the women in the palace.
Then I went to the palace of Concubine Yun and Concubine Yin to pay my respects. After the two became old concubines, they calmed down and took Concubine Shu with them to sit in the imperial garden and drink tea every day.
Finally, I turned to the entrance of the Imperial Study Room.
Now the two biggest masters in the palace are the Young Emperor and the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother came, the little eunuch guarding the door did not dare to be careless and hurriedly knelt down to say hello.
Yun Chu waved his hand, indicating that they didn't need to make any noise.
She walked in and heard Master Xu's voice coming from the imperial study. After listening for a while, her eyebrows suddenly darkened.
After the new king ascends the throne, the emperor's teacher should give lessons on the art of kingship, the art of employing people, the art of verticality and horizontality, etc., instead of teaching heretical things.
She can understand that Master Xu is loyal to Chu Rui, because the lives of the entire clan are at the mercy of Chu Rui.
But understanding does not mean acceptance.
Qinghua has such a dull temperament, but he can keep his true feelings in the face of big issues of right and wrong.
On the other hand, Grand Master Xu used his status as imperial master to delay the emperor's learning to govern the country...
Yun Chu walked to the side room next to the imperial study room to drink tea. It was almost evening before the class ended.
As soon as Chu Hongyu came out, the eunuch Xiao Anzi stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here and is drinking tea in the west wing."
A smile immediately appeared on Chu Hongyu's face, and he skipped towards the west wing. After taking two steps, he found that it was inappropriate, so he immediately slowed down, put his hands behind his back, and stood in the west wing like a young adult. The door said: "Mother, my son has gone to school."
Yunchu motioned for him to come in.
Chu Hongyu walked in slowly and ordered Xiao Anzi to close the door. After blocking the sight of the outside, he sat down on the chair and said, "I can finally sit down comfortably."
Yun Chu looked at him funny: "Didn't you just sit and read a book?"
"Being in front of so many people just now, I had to straighten my posture and sit like a bell. That sitting posture was too tiring." Chu Hongyu leaned on the chair, "Being an emperor is really tiring."
Yun Chu asked: "Master Xu was teaching just now, did you listen?"
"I know that Taishi Xu is a member of the regent. The regent must have bad intentions when he arranges this person for me as a teacher." The little guy snorted, "Why should I listen to his lectures even if I know he has bad intentions? What if he teaches me What should I do if it breaks, right mother? During class, I was reading other books by myself. Anyway, I am the emperor, and Master Xu doesn’t dare to criticize me."
"You little clever guy." Yun Chu continued to ask, "Then why did you refuse Brother Jiang and Brother Shen to be your companions?"
