Chapter 1 Wedges
Liang Guo is already in a mess.

Since Emperor Chongguang collapsed half a year ago, the country was handed over to his son who was under eight years old, the son was handed over to the empress who was under thirty, and the power of the government was handed over to his seventeenth brother, King Jin. Liang Guo was in a mess.

Speaking of it, Liang Guo was only passed down to the sixth generation by this generation of young emperors, and it was in its heyday, but the departure of the first emperor was really in a hurry, which caused great turmoil all at once.First, the foreign tribes in the frontier were eager to move, and then several princes in the country, led by the late emperor's brother-Wu Wang, launched a rebellion because they were dissatisfied with Jin Wang's assistant government.

The first emperor suddenly collapsed, the young emperor lost his father, internal and external troubles, the regent came to the court...

For a time, "the world is in chaos" became one of the most frequently occurring words in the mouths of the common people.

Jin Wang Xiaozheng was entrusted by the late emperor to take over such a chaotic situation resolutely when the country was in crisis. He was appointed as the regent and took on the important task of leading the government at a young age. He is truly fearless, wise and brave, and a great hero ...

"Who said these words? I dragged them out and chopped them up!"

In the imperial study room, after listening to the regular praise from the Minister of Rites, Xiao Yi, the little emperor dropped a Qingtian stone inkstone inlaid with jade, blowing his nose and staring, so frightened that the Minister of Rites shrank his neck and dared not make a sound.

"Your Majesty calm down, Mr. Zhang has something to report."

The little eunuch Fugui who was accompanying him whispered a reminder in the emperor's ear, so that he could clean up his demeanor earlier so that the regent's eyes and ears would not listen to what he had just said.

The same is true for Mr. Zhang. Everyone in the court knows that the little emperor is dissatisfied with the regent, and he dares to flatter in front of the emperor. Isn't this looking for scolding?
Although the little emperor is not yet eight years old, he has seen a lot of intrigue in the palace, so he still has some eyesight, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Li reminded him every day: the emperor's uncle is scary, you need to be cautious when dealing with him.

So after the anger was over, he returned to his original state, and after sitting back on the desk with a shelf in his hand, he looked at Mr. Zhang and said, "What do you want to play?" The superb acting skills almost made Mr. Zhang think that the lion's roar just now was hallucinations.

"Starting to play Your Majesty, according to the order of the Regent, the servants are here to inform His Majesty of the marriage with the Queen of Qinghai Kingdom..."

"Tong... know..." The little emperor's delicate face was full of resentment.

Did you talk to the emperor like that?He is the emperor, and he actually used the word "notice", "bong" to the regent, and "notice" to him!

The little emperor's face was flushed and his heart beat faster. After a long while, he breathed a sigh of relief and put his thoughts on the main topic: "What did you call me?"

"At the command of the Regent..."

Do you have to annoy me so much?The little emperor had blue veins throbbing on his forehead, full of resentment.

Mr. Zhang didn't notice it, and continued to speak eloquently: "The prince said that the people of Qinghai Kingdom are brave and good at fighting, and marrying them can form a barrier against foreign invasion, so that we can concentrate on dealing with domestic rebellions..."

"Crack!" This time, it was a gold-painted sandalwood pen holder, followed by books, from "Spring and Autumn" to "Historical Records", all kinds of classics...

Thanks to the little emperor, Mr. Zhang has fully accepted a cultural "baptism".

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Where is Qinghai country? It is a paradise for women and a hell for men.

The emperors and ministers there are all women, but the men are like the women in Daliang, who can only do the most basic work, hold the most inconspicuous positions, and obey the women at home.

The regent actually asked him to marry the wicked woman of Qinghai Kingdom?

What a cruel heart!
Mr. Zhang has been swept away by the "wave" of culture, the emperor is still not relieved, everything on the table can be thrown away, and there is nothing to vent his anger on.With a sweeping look from the corner of his eyes, he simply opened the red sandalwood box on the corner of the table on the right, grabbed out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo inside, and was about to smash it down with a raised hand...

"What are you doing, Your Majesty?" A faint and lazy voice came from outside the door, followed by a tall and tall figure.

The visitor is dressed in wide sleeves with dark ends, the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with the dragon pattern with gold thread, the waist is wrapped with a gold ribbon, and the side is hung with purple ears and white jade.Her jet-black hair was neatly tied in a golden crown, her brows and eyes were handsome, and there was an air of coquettishness between her gazes.It's just that the slight smile on his lips, although it was as warm as a spring breeze, made Fugui's knees soften a bit.

"See, see the Regent."

The regent was given the grace to be exempted from bowing down.Xiao Zheng walked all the way to the emperor without looking sideways, lowered his head, his eyes as deep as a deep pool turned lightly, swept across the jade seal he was holding, and suppressed his smile.

The emperor looked up at him, oppressed by the aura, his knees softened a bit in disappointment.

"Your Majesty is really wise. Knowing that the king is coming to invite His Majesty to use the seal today, he has already prepared it." Xiao Zheng took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, spread it flat in front of the emperor, and gently raised his hand: "Your Majesty, please .”

The emperor was speechless and asked the sky, Fugui knelt on the ground and gave him winks all the time, you just cover it!If the green hills remain, you don't have to worry about no firewood.

The emperor was sad and indignant for a long time, and slowly stamped the seal with a heavy heart. When he was about to seal it, he glanced at the content of the edict, which was the letter of credence for going to Qinghai to ask for marriage.

Covering the back of his hand with one hand, with a slight force, the dust settled.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, marriage with the Qinghai Kingdom will only benefit my Daliang. You have done a good job."

Xiao Zheng took the credentials, smiled slightly, turned and left.Just like when he came, his steps were steady, his wide sleeves flicked lightly, and the jade pendant around his waist swayed.

The emperor was still holding the jade seal in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He threw away the jade seal and howled dryly: "Father... the son is quitting... don't bring such a bully..."

Although His Majesty is reluctant, the marriage with Qinghai Kingdom is imperative.

The domestic situation in Daliang is now critical. The emperor's uncle, King Wu Xiaojun, occupies Jiangdong and fights against the imperial court. Rumors (?) that Xiao Zheng intends to usurp the throne are being spread all day long.

Xiao Zheng originally wanted to fight against him, but considering that the young emperor's foundation was not stable soon after he came to the throne, and the situation would be a little unfavorable at that time, those ministers would most likely take the opportunity to turn against him, so he decided to stand still for the time being.

At the same time, several countries on the frontier are staring at the big beam, Xiao Zheng can only rely on the Qinghai country in the middle to resist, so that he can recharge his energy and store up his energy, and then he can take Xiao Jun and others together.

He thought well, but he was as thoughtful as the regent, and he never thought that this marriage would not be as smooth as imagined.

The queen of Qinghai Kingdom is 11 years old this year, so it doesn't matter if she is a few years older than the emperor. The problem is that she is in control and very assertive... the little queen.But Daliang only knew that there was a king regent but not an emperor, so she didn't like to see His Majesty the emperor in Daliang very much.

The specific situation is that, one month later, Her Majesty the Little Queen replied very tactfully to the Regent, saying: "It is really difficult for you to beg for marriage to our foreign country with the honor of the heavenly kingdom... and The customs of the two countries are very different, your country despises women, binds hands, breaks wings, binds feet and kills ambitions. As a woman alone, I dare not be comfortable... The so-called differences in the way do not conspire with each other, you might as well let it go."

When Xiao Zheng received the letter, he kept pacing in the study thinking about a good strategy, and he didn't go out for a whole day, causing his personal guard Zhao Quan to almost break into the door to investigate the situation.

It wasn't until after Xu time that Xiao Zheng finally opened the door and said to Zhao Quan: "This king has thought of a way."

At that time, the little emperor who got the news was happily preparing to celebrate, and the Empress Dowager Li even set up a banquet in the bedroom to have a drink with her son. Unexpectedly, just after the banquet, the regent came in a hurry with another edict. He slipped His Majesty the Emperor into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, this king feels that the marriage with Qinghai Kingdom must not be given up at this time."

Xiao Zheng knew very well that several countries outside the border also intended to marry Qinghai, so as to open up passages through the customs, so he had to stop them no matter what.

The little emperor was not happy when he was interrupted to celebrate the big event, and even more unhappy when he heard that he wanted to get married: "Uncle emperor, what are you going to do?!"

Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, and the warm but alienated smile on his lips spread again. He spread the imperial edict in front of the emperor, and tapped the table: "Your Majesty, please use the seal. It's time for Daliang to implement the New Deal."

The emperor pouted, not interested in the so-called new political commissar he was talking about.Reluctantly, he held up the jade seal, and when he was about to cover it, he glanced at the content of the imperial edict, and was shocked in his heart.

WTF?Want to let women enter the court as officials?What kind of Laoshizi New Deal is this?
Like so many times, one hand covered the back of his hand, with a light force, the dust settled again.

"Uncle Emperor..." Are you crazy?
The emperor clamored in his heart, who will tell me that this is not true!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is just a stopgap measure, Daliang is still dominated by men." Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, turned and left.

Since the Qinghai Kingdom thinks that Daliang has very different customs from them, so what if they adapt to them?

Not long after Xiao Zheng left the house, the emperor only heard him say to a certain official waiting outside the door: "Order to go on. Tomorrow, an announcement will be made across the country. The Prince Regent's Palace will recruit female aides into the palace. Those with excellent morals will be recommended to the court as officials."

The emperor sat back on his chair in shock. The world was so crazy that he couldn't get used to it.

Father, he really quit, what is this all about...
