The next day came in a blink of an eye, and Gong Chenliang slept very soundly.
There was no howling wind, no damp, cold bedding.
All that is there is the incense slowly burning on that person's body, which makes people intoxicated and at peace.
The soft bedding gave him a good night's sleep.
So when Gong Chenliang woke up, he still felt a little unreal. Is all this true?
Or... is it just that he hasn't woken up from his dream yet?
If it was a dream, let him not wake up.
Gong Chenliang was surrounded by people and got up. After five years, he felt the feeling of being cared for again.
When the old emperor passed away, no one cared about him and they all went to curry favor with the regent Luo Junchuan. When the palace people saw that he had lost his power, they all started to take advantage of his misfortune.
Before he had time to eat, Gong Chenliang was dragged to the court by Luo Junchuan.
Gong Chenliang entered the court hall and walked towards the low seat where he usually sat.
This low seat was Luo Junchuan's idea, saying, "He is still young, so it is not convenient for him to sit on the dragon throne. He can sit on the dragon throne when he is capable."
During the days when Luo Junchuan was in power, it could almost be said that he was all-powerful and no one dared to refute him.
He sat on this low seat for five years.
When Luo Junchuan saw Gong Chenliang sitting on the low seat with familiarity, he suddenly remembered the origin of this low seat.
With a long arm, he pulled the young boy into his arms and ordered the palace servants below: "Remove this low seat! Remove that seat too!"
Luo Junchuan pointed at his 'exclusive seat' with his slender, bamboo-like hand.
The palace servants thought Luo Junchuan was going to do something again, so they carried out his order very quickly.
Because Gong Chenliang slept more comfortably, the two of them came later.
But Luo Junchuan had already given the order, asking all the ministers to wait there.
So this scene appeared:
Under the gaze of all the court ministers, Luo Junchuan proudly embraced their puppet emperor and strode towards the dragon throne.
They were filled with excitement: Here it comes! He really can't help it! Look, look! He's walking towards the throne! He really wants this throne!!!
But the ending shocked them all: Luo Junchuan embraced the little emperor, walked to the dragon throne, gently placed the little emperor on the dragon throne, straightened his clothes and got down directly.
Down, down?
The ministers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, confirming again that they were not mistaken: Luo Junchuan really did not sit on the dragon throne, but put their puppet little emperor there.
This...what on earth is he thinking?
Facing their surprised looks, Luo Junchuan said coldly, "What are you looking at me for?"
Sensing the biting coldness in Luo Junchuan's eyes, all the ministers withdrew their gazes and only dared to look at their little emperor in secret: their little emperor did not seem to have expected the regent to do such a thing, and was also in a daze.
Looking at the stunned emperor, they all felt a little comforted: it seemed that they were not the only ones who were unaware, it turned out that it was just a sudden idea of the regent.
The hall fell silent for a moment. Luo Junchuan felt a little impatient. What were they all standing there for? It was time to go to court!
After hearing Luo Junchuan's words, the eunuch in charge of delivering the message suddenly reacted: "Go to court~~~"
"Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the regent! A thousand years!" All the ministers knelt down and saluted.
To their surprise, Luo Junchuan also stood in their team and knelt down with them.
This time, the ministers were really scared.
Gong Chenliang coughed lightly from above: "My dear ministers, please stand up."
For a moment, no one dared to stand up, for fear that Luo Junchuan would find a reason to punish them.
Luo Junchuan stood up and noticed that the silence behind him was a little unusual. He looked back and became angry: "Why are you all kneeling? Didn't you hear the emperor tell you to stand up? Don't you take the emperor's words seriously? Or do you just like kneeling like this?!"
The ministers quickly stood up: "No, no, Your Highness, you misunderstood. We are just... just a little too old to get up..."
"It's good to be old. If you feel you are old, just submit your resignation!" Luo Junchuan said calmly.
The ministers quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, Your Highness, we were wrong, we were wrong..."
"Why are you accusing me of wrongdoing? Do you understand who controls this world?"
After hearing what Luo Junchuan said, the ministers were really confused: This... Didn't Luo Junchuan always regard himself as the emperor?
Luo Junchuan looked at the ministers whose expressions kept changing unpredictably, and knew that this kind of thing could not be accomplished overnight, but had to be done slowly.
He no longer embarrassed those people: "Why are you looking at me? Aren't you here to attend the court? If you have something to say, come forward. If not, leave the court!"
The Minister of Revenue came out tremblingly and said, "Your Highness, the drought in Jingzhou is getting worse and worse, and the situation of the victims is also becoming serious. Please issue an order as soon as possible to rescue the disaster area!"
"Prince, prince, prince! What prince? Where is your emperor? Go ask your emperor!" Luo Junchuan was almost driven crazy, but this was his own fault before, and now, he had to do it no matter what.
Gong Chenliang watched the argument below. He thought that Luo Junchuan sent him to the throne just for show, just to save face.
I didn't expect that he would let me interfere in state affairs.
Gong Chenliang was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Gong Chenliang was a little embarrassed, Luo Junchuan was secretly annoyed that he had not thought it through.
He only knew to let Gong Chenliang start interfering in state affairs, but forgot that he did not have the ability to do so.
Luo Junchuan waved his hand: "Let's stop here for today's court session. If you have any matters, please write them down and submit them to me."
Luo Junchuan suddenly became serious: "Remember this, the one sitting on the dragon throne is your emperor, your master. Don't make the mistake again!"
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Luo Junchuan's gourd, so they could only nod in agreement.
After the court session, Luo Junchuan did not take Gong Chenliang to the study to review memorials, but took him back to the Regent's Palace.
The housekeeper had already placed the food on the table.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Gong Chenliang couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but he had no urge to pick up his chopsticks.
Luo Junchuan rubbed his head and said, "You must be very tired after attending court for such a long time! Come and eat some food. I ordered them to prepare these. See if they suit your taste. Don't worry, your palace will be cleaned up in about two or three days. As for the chef, I will find you the best chef in the world!"
Gong Chenliang lowered his head and ate silently, letting Luo Junchuan chatter non-stop and ignoring him completely.
