On March 26, the new emperor ascended the throne and the country was named Xuanping.

This year became the first year of Xuanping.

Emperor Xuanping, who was only fifteen years old, had his first imperial edict after ascending the throne, to pardon the world. All crimes such as accidental injury and theft were released from prison in advance.

Those who commit ten evil and unforgivable serious crimes will be exempted from death. However, you should not leave the cell and die in prison.

Emperor Xuanping's second imperial edict was to ask his mother to be the queen mother. Empress Pei was Empress Pei from then on, and Concubine Gu Shu became the concubine Gu Shu. Beauty Yu's position was also promoted to two levels, and now she is Concubine Yu.

The third imperial edict was to reward loyal officials of the Great Chu.

Officials under the third and fourth ranks will be promoted to their official positions. High officials such as Duke of Wei, Jingguo, Xihou of Xi and the Six Ministers of the Ministers of the Ministry of Justice, have reached their peak and cannot be promoted, so they will be rewarded with gold, silver, jade and virtual titles.

The ones who were rewarded the most were Zhou Shangshu Gu Zhangyuan and Qian Jijiu.

All three of them were the Grand Tutors, and they had carefully taught and cultivated the emperor. It was human nature that Emperor Xuanping believed them close, trusted and valued them.

The people were filled with joy and joy, the harem was peaceful, and the court was filled with praises.

In this harmony, there are also some unharmonious voices.

For example, someone from the military general submitted a memorial requesting Emperor Xuanping to pardon the Pei family.

On the surface, this memorial seems to be trying to shoot the new emperor's fart. If you think about it carefully, you will know the sinister intentions.

The Marquis of Yong'an committed a serious crime of disobedience and the Pei family was confiscated and exiled. It was the decree of the late emperor. As a son, he changed his father's will as soon as he ascended the throne. This is unfilial!

After reading this memorial, Emperor Xuanping felt pains and was very angry. He immediately issued an order to rebuke the general.

Eunuch Ding, who went to pass the imperial edict, was erect and scolded him fiercely, cursing the other party to the dust. After the scolding, he immediately changed his face to apologize: "... Our family is also doing the order, not intending to humiliate General Zhou. Please forgive me."

General Zhou was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

After Eunuch Ding left, General Zhou fell ill.

Duke Jingguo went to the palace to meet with shame and apologized for General Zhou: "...General Zhou is a rough-minded warrior. He was promoted by the Marquis of Yong'an. Once the Marquis of Yong'an died, the Pei family was exiled to Lingnan again. General Zhou was always worried. Seeing the emperor ascended the throne, this reckless man thought it was a good time to overturn the verdict for the Pei family, so he submitted such a memorial."

"Please calm down your anger and spare General Zhou's experience."

The young emperor, with a pale face, was still lying on a bed and resting. While Duke Jingguo was talking, a hint of angry blush flashed across Emperor Xuanping's pale face.

The tacit struggle between the king and his subjects has officially begun.

This General Zhou was just a pawn who was used. It was fake to rehabilitate the Pei family, and it was true that he used this memorial to poke the hearts of the new emperor and Empress Dowager Pei.

Emperor Xuanping said lightly: "Don't worry, Duke Jingguo, I am not a petty person. Since I sent someone to scold General Zhou, the matter ends here. General Zhou took two months off and I have made it clear. Let him "repay" in the mansion and take advantage of this period of time, and let him reflect on himself."

"It's okay to say what should be said, there's no need to say what should not be said."

"The word "loyalty" is useless to just put it on your mouth. I am not blind or deaf. I can see whether I am really loyal to me."

While speaking, he glanced at Duke Jingguo with a meaningful look.

No one knew whether Duke Yasukuni was terrified. However, he was silent on his face and responded respectfully.

After Jin State announced his retreat, Emperor Xuanping's face showed a hint of fatigue.

He Qi, who was promoted to the commander of the imperial guards again, frowned and whispered: "The emperor is tired, so let's have a good rest."

Emperor Xuanping pulled the corner of his mouth with self-deprecating self-deprecating: "I want to rest with peace of mind, but I can't stop all of them. As soon as I ascended the throne a few days ago, someone secretly stumbling. This is a pity for me!"

He Qi's brows frowned even tighter.

This General Zhou was obviously instigated to submit this memorial.

The person behind it is either Duke Wei or Duke Jingguo.

Duke Pingguo was the commander of the border army and always stayed in the border. Although he held military power, he was far away from the court. Duke Wei Guo, Duke Jingguo was different. They were all old ministers of the three dynasties. When the late emperor was alive, they were highly valued by the late emperor.

The generals are most concerned about factions. Half of the powerful generals in the court have been supported by Duke Wei and Duke Jingguo. The four marquis also have their own military generals. Once the Marquis of Yong'an died, the military generals under their command were attracted to others openly and secretly.

Now the Hou of Jinning and Zhenyuan Hou are about to fall, and the generals are even more worried.

"The father personally issued an order to punish the Pei family." Emperor Xuanping looked tired and his voice was low: "It has not been half a month since I ascended the throne, so it is impossible for me to change my father's will without authorization."

"They mentioned the Pei family to embarrass me and the Queen Mother."

"This time I've hit the mountain and shocked the tiger, they'll have to calm down for a while."

He Qi helped Emperor Xuanhe lay down and tucked his bedding. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

How can you "rest" with such troubles?

...

Before this wave could be settled, Zong Zheng of the clan mansion also submitted a memorial asking the emperor to pardon the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

The memorial implies that you have ascended the throne and sat on the dragon throne. As the emperor, you should be generous. It is inappropriate to keep your brother in the prison. There are also several princes and grandchildren who should be placed in a good life.

From the perspective of the royal family, of course I hope the emperor is "kind". In this way, in the future, if someone in the royal family makes mistakes or causes trouble, he will be able to deal with it with leniently.

After all, two words "Yuan" cannot be written in one stroke. As a royal family member, who doesn't want more privileges?

This time, Empress Dowager Pei came forward in person and summoned Zong Zheng, the Zong Renfu, to the palace.

This Zongzheng is quite old in the royal family, and is one generation older than the dead Emperor Xuanhe. He is in his sixties and loves everything from alcohol, sex and money. He is not tall, but his belly is protruding.

When he saw Empress Dowager Pei, Zong Zheng looked not very respectful and bowed with a little arrogant look: "I have met the Empress Dowager."

If it were based on seniority, Empress Dowager Pei should call him Uncle Four.

However, Empress Dowager Pei obviously did not mean to talk about family matters with him. She said: "Ping Prince, the Ai family invites you to the palace today, so there is something important to discuss with you."

Prince Ping has been a Zongzheng for twenty years, and has been suppressed by Emperor Xuanhe before and cannot move. Now the new emperor is young and the empress dowager is a gentle and useless woman, so he has to put on the air of Zongzheng.

"If there is anything wrong with the Empress Dowager, please listen carefully." Prince Ping was quite respectful, but his expression on his face was not the case at all.

Queen Mother Pei glanced at it with a faint expression: "Prince Ping is already old and has worked hard for the royal family for many years. It is time to step down from the position of Zongzheng and live a life of his life."
