As a puppet emperor who was supported, the former little emperor was truly born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of women.
After Grand Master Dong Guang came to power, he drove away all the teachers responsible for teaching the young emperor, preventing him from gaining access to more knowledge and wisdom.
There are three masters of the emperor: Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao. Dong Guang can be regarded as one person who can do all of them.
Later, the little emperor grew older and Dong Guang was busy controlling the government, so he directly married his daughter, who was seven or eight years older, into the palace.
Be the queen and mother to the little emperor!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhang couldn't help but feel a little funny now.
"Queen Dong, this counts as my child bride, right?"
Many child brides are really older than their male counterparts. They have been taking care of their young husbands until they grow up, and then give him children.
There is a 'mother' in the title Niangzi, which is quite appropriate.
To be honest, this approach is really suitable for children from wealthy families who lost their mothers when they were young.
In ancient times, men and women got married early. When a girl came to Tiangui at the age of thirteen or four, she would get married and have children.
But at this time, their bodies have not yet developed, and giving birth to a child is definitely a hellish experience, and one mistake can result in two lives.
On the contrary, in the case of child brides, the woman is older than the man. The husband is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the child bride is also twenty-four or five years old. She is the most suitable for childbirth and has the least risk.
This is the relationship between Empress Dong and Zhao Zhang!
Today's Empress Dong is exactly twenty-five years old, in her prime, and begins to exude the charm of a mature woman.
On the contrary, she was the concubine who had been destined since she was a child. She was similar in age to Zhao Zhang and had a somewhat petite body.
"Hmm... So it seems like I have a very wide range of tastes?"
Zhao Zhang laughed at himself, feeling that whether it was the delicate and pure Jade Concubine or the mature and charming Empress Dong, they were all to his liking.
Even some of the little maids in the palace occasionally made his eyes shine.
'Does it really seem that I am a pure beast? ! '
Those palace maids are only thirteen or fourteen years old!
Fortunately, Zhao Zhang traveled through a feudal dynasty and did not belong to any country in the history of the earth. Otherwise, you will inevitably be given a silver bracelet and face a jail sentence.
I don’t know when.
When Zhao Zhang recovered his divergent thoughts, he realized that several hours had passed.
I also read through a lot of memorials on the imperial record.
But he just looked at it and didn't leave a single comment.
It's not that he doesn't want to or doesn't know how to deal with it. After all, he has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away.
As long as you don't mess around and refer to the opinions of the courtiers in the memorial, you can handle the matter quite well.
The reason why I didn't use the royal brush to make the vermilion red was purely because the Grand Master had already done this for me.
Looking at every memorial in front of him, there are responses from Grand Master Dong Guang, and there are even more clever, shrewd and strategic opinions on how to deal with it. Even Zhao Zhang had to admit it.
"This Master Dong is really quite capable!"
As a veteran minister who has been trained since the time of the late emperor, Dong Guang is indispensable in both mental ability and diligence and patience.
The late emperor chose Dong Guang as his assistant, and his ability was absolutely no problem, even far beyond that of ordinary people.
If it weren't for his evil intentions and his ambition to usurp the country, he would not have lost a pillar of the prime minister!
"pity……"
"Who told you to covet my dragon chair!"
The more Zhao Zhang saw Dong Guang's extraordinary abilities, the stronger his hatred and murderous intention towards him became.
With such a great traitor by his side, if he is not removed, he will not be able to sleep peacefully!
Zhao Zhang had already sentenced Dong Guang to ten deaths and no life in his heart.
He stood up, stretched, and walked out of the imperial study room slowly.
It seems that after such a long memorial, he finally has a general understanding of the overall situation of Daqian.
In general, although the dynasty can be considered to be in turmoil, it is full of crises. But it has not really reached the point where the building is about to collapse and cannot be saved.
Zhao Zhang, there is still a chance!
As long as we get rid of the powerful officials and traitors, unify Daqian's national power, complete the rise of ZTE, and make Daqian glorious again, it is not impossible.
"but……"
"This great master of mine is really not easy to deal with."
After investigating the government affairs from the inside out, Zhao Zhang also had a comprehensive understanding of Grand Master Dong Guang.
There is no doubt that this is a man who truly has the intention to usurp the throne and the corresponding means and abilities!
Not to mention comparable to Cao Cao and Sima, at least it is as difficult as Ying Zheng's elimination of Lu Buwei or Kangxi's capture of Obei!
Although Zhao Zhang was confident, he did not dare to be careless, let alone rush in rashly, and he was not prepared to lift the table for a long time.
"Strength, men."
"Right now, the power in my hands and the loyal and capable generals I have available are still very scarce."
"Overthrowing the Grand Master and taking back the government is not something that can be done in a matter of seconds..."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Zhang had various plans in his mind. But it’s not that it’s inappropriate, it’s that the time and conditions are not yet mature.
He repeatedly referred to various cases in history and thought about what he should do.
After a long while, I finally made a decision.
"That's it!"
"Other plans have to wait. We must step by step let everyone inside and outside the court see that I am no longer the cowardly and incompetent little emperor before they are willing to sincerely surrender."
Choosing between loyalty to the royal family and supporting Dong Guang was extremely dangerous.
If one person is not good, not only will he lose his official position, but also his head will be moved, and he may even implicate the nine clans of his relatives!
Even if many ministers dislike Dong Guang, they are still willing to be loyal to the royal family. If they don't see Zhao Zhang showing enough ability and hope to move to Dong Guang and regain power, they will not join him!
There is no fool who sneaks into the court and is an official of the third rank or above.
For the sake of foolish loyalty, to seek refuge in a pile of mud that cannot support the wall, isn't this looking for death?
Therefore, what Zhao Zhang really has to do is to show his valor and heroism step by step, let everyone inside and outside the court see it, and then choose his side again!
And this step starts from a few things he did today!
"It will take some time for the news to spread and the storm to ferment. And Dong Guang should also be able to deal with it."
"This current situation is actually the most dangerous time for me!"
Zhao Zhang was secretly alert and was not careless.
Dong Guang is not blind. When he sees Zhao Zhang's actions, he will definitely launch a counterattack, and may even directly do something irresponsible to Zhao Zhang!
Zhao Zhang must find a way to ensure his own safety as much as possible.
"so……"
"I want to practice martial arts!"
Zhao Zhang suddenly clenched his fist, and a ray of light burst out from his eyes.
Only the force on your own body is the best guarantee of safety!
"Moreover, Daqian's martial arts is not just about exercising muscles and strengthening the body."
"There's an even more incredible part!"
"If I succeed in practicing martial arts, I will not only be able to protect myself, but it will also be of great benefit to capture Thief Dong in the future!"
