Tyrant [Rebirth]

Chu Shaotao and his party returned to the fief after finishing the funeral in the imperial city. Before leaving, Chu Shaotao specially reserved a floor in the Zuixian Building to meet Wei Ji. It took almost two hours to eat.

After bringing him back, Chu Shaoling smelled alcohol on Wei Ji's body, and said with a half-smile, "I don't drink at all in front of me on weekdays. It's harder to coax you to have a drink than going to heaven. It's better to go outside in front of Chu Shaotao." Ken drank it,"

Wei Ji actually just drank a few glasses at the end as a farewell, but he didn't expect the plum wine in Zuixianlou to have a strong aftertaste, and he was a little dizzy now, Wei Ji didn't understand what Chu Shaoling said at all He said honestly, "My lord is going back to the fief tomorrow, I tried to persuade you a few times, but I refused and just drank some...you can't drink it when you are in front of the emperor..."

The palace servants came up to serve tea, Wei Ji took it and held it in his hand and continued: "Drinking is a mistake, there may be accidents around the emperor anytime and anywhere, I am the emperor's bodyguard, so naturally I dare not lose my head."

Chu Shaoling's heart warmed and he dismissed the palace servants, took out the regular clothes and put them on for Wei Ji, and said with a smile: "You are all the Duke of the country, and you always talk about things when you were a guard, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Wei Ji straightened his clothes and shook his head: "Don't be afraid, if the emperor uplifts the minister, the minister will also be His Highness's bodyguard, and the minister dare not forget his roots."

Chu Shaoling's temper just now was soothed by this sentence, Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head: "Fuyi will bring the child into the palace later, you haven't seen your son for a while, right?"

Wei Ji smiled, thought for a while and said, "Then minister go take a bath first, don't smoke the child for a while."

Chu Shaoling laughed: "Where is there such a strong smell of alcohol, that's all, go, just take a rest."

Wei Ji went to the clean room, Chu Shaoling turned around and called the person who went out with Wei Ji today, and the person repeated exactly what Wei Ji and Chu Shaotao said at the Zuixian Tower at noon, and finally thought about it again. He said: "Master Wei really refused to drink at the beginning, the prince couldn't persuade Mr. Wei to drink a few cups."

Chu Shaoling nodded and said lightly: "I see, you have a good memory, go down and receive the reward."

The man kowtowed and went down. Wang Muhan brought a teacup to offer to Chu Shaoling, and said with a soft smile: "The emperor is too worried. Others don't trust Mr. Wei. You should trust him the most. The prince is also the one you can trust. Why be so careful?" What? If Lord Wei finds out... it would be bad if Lord Wei had a lump in his heart."

"It's not that I don't believe him..." Chu Shaoling took a sip from the teacup. Others might not be able to understand. He just wanted to know what Wei Ji said and did when he was not in front of him. He just wanted to know, He didn't want to lose every bit of Wei Ji, he wanted to know everything.

Chu Shaoling put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "Besides, I'm not afraid that he will know. If you don't believe me, go tell Wei Ji, and tell him that the person I sent to him will report his whereabouts every day. Do you think Wei Ji will be angry? "

Wang Muhan hurriedly apologized with a smile, "I dare not."

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "I'm not scaring you, he really doesn't care, you go and try."

Wang Muhan had a bitter expression on his face, he almost knelt down and begged for mercy: "I don't dare to do this, the old slave will explain clearly to the people below, and I will never let Master Wei hear my nonsense."

Chu Shaoling laughed, shook his head and said no more, he really wasn't threatening Wang Muhan, he was confident that even if Wei Ji knew about it, he would believe that he wasn't spying on him, and Wei Ji had nothing to hide from him, he didn't I would be afraid, and I was just curious about Wei Ji's behavior outside. It's such a simple thing, why can't others understand it?

Chu Shaoling sighed quite complacently, there is nothing wrong in the world, and people are disturbing themselves.

Not long after Wei Ji came back from the bath, Chu Shaoling took him to rest for a while, Chu Shaoling leaned sideways and gently tapped Wei Ji's forehead and said in a low voice, "Are you still dizzy? Let them cook you a bowl of hangover soup?"

"No need." Wei Ji closed his eyes and smiled, "Just a few glasses of wine, the lord talked to the minister about the fiefdom, and said that when he went back, he would send away those Yingying and Yanyan in the palace, and live with the concubine alone. "

Chu Shaoling smiled: "It's better to live in a small family outside. When I die, I immediately drive away those concubines. How clean is it? How about our palace? No matter how impatient I am, I have to feed those concubines with delicious food and drink." Concubine Tai, if they weren't honest back then..."

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense." Wei Ji was amused, and opened his eyes to look at Chu Shaoling, persuading him, "The concubines have all moved to the palace behind, and the Emperor can't easily see them, isn't that okay? Besides...their food and clothing How much is the speed? The emperor wants to forgive the woman, but now he wants to say this."

Chu Shaoling mocked: "Speaking of this...Wang Muhan just took over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and told me that these women spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every year for rouge and gouache. On the side of the Empress Dowager, other people’s money and seasonal clothes are all halved, and the late emperor is gone, so who can show her to be dressed up all day with rouge and powder?”

Wei Ji couldn't help laughing: "The emperor has never been a stingy person. This is only a small amount of money. Why do people criticize the emperor behind his back and treat the harem harshly?"

"I treated the harem harshly?" Chu Shaoling looked at Wei Ji with a smile, "Mr. Wei, do you have a conscience? When did I treat you harshly? Those Yingyingyanyans are not my harem. I didn't let them be buried, so they were good for them. Even if they have exhausted their benevolence and righteousness, you still want to allow their duty to pass you by?"

Wei Ji understood, blushed, and calmed down with embarrassment: "The emperor knows that the minister doesn't care about these things, why should he treat the harem harshly just to compete for this level? The minister sits and sleeps with the emperor every day. Responsibilities are all used by the emperor, in this world... I am afraid there is no one who is more used than a minister."

Chu Shaoling smiled lightly, now he only needs a false name...

Wei Ji didn't know what Chu Shaoling was thinking, thought for a while and said: "Especially those two concubines who have raised princes, the emperor should treat them more favorably."

Chu Shaoling casually said: "Well, I'll come back and explain to Wang Muhan..."

"Your Majesty, don't forget again." Wei Ji reminded him, and when he had to say something else, Princess Fu Yi, who was co-passed by the palace servants outside, came.

Chu Shaoling agreed to order: "Welcome the eldest princess to the warm pavilion in the side hall, I will be there soon."

The two sat up, packed their clothes and went to the side hall together. Fu Yi was carefully carrying Wei Yao onto the soft couch. When she saw Chu Shaoling coming, she hurriedly bowed down. Chu Shaoling lifted him up and said with a smile: "It's cold God, didn't you freeze the child?"

"I got on the sedan chair as soon as I went out, and when I got off the sedan chair, I arrived at Brother Huang's place. How could it be freezing?" Fu Yi ordered the nurse to bring the child over, and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, it's the first time to see these two children... "

The two nannies hugged the child and blessed Chu Shaoling. As the two children greeted Chu Shaoling, Chu Shaoling smiled: "Which one is Marquis Pingchang? Let me hug first..."

The nanny holding Wei Yao hurriedly stepped forward and handed the child to Chu Shaoling. Little Wei Yao just woke up and stared at Chu Shaoling with her eyes open. Chu Shaoling weighed it and said with a smile: "It's a strong child."

Fu Yi laughed and said, "Heavier than his elder brother, he can eat and sleep, and he needs two wet nurses to take care of him."

Chu Shaoling smiled with satisfaction: "It's just like this, and I'm not afraid of life..."

As soon as Chu Shaoling's words fell to the ground, Wei Yao burst into tears with a "wow", everyone laughed, Wei Ji took the child over and said with a smile: "Come and hug me..."

Wei Yao huddled in her swaddle in a small ball, her little face was a little red from crying, Wei Ji coaxed softly, lowered her head and kissed Wei Yao's small forehead, after a while Wei Yao really stopped crying, Zhaza He started to touch Wei Ji's face, Wei Ji lowered his head and bit Wei Yao's finger lightly, Wei Yao laughed, Fu Yi said with a smile: "Father and son are naturally good, my uncle doesn't come back often, but how come?" Hui Yao'er didn't recognize her when she saw it."

Chu Shaoling smiled and took Wei Jing to hug him, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is lighter than Yao'er, but the nanny can't use it?"

"The nanny sent by the palace, how can it be useless? This child is not too light, but he is not as good as Yao'er." Fu Yi smiled, "I always tell my son-in-law that when I grow up, I am afraid that Jing'er will be more like a child. Brother."

Chu Shaoling smiled: "All right, pass on my will, each of the two children will bestow two pairs of jade Ruyi, four teams of white jade vases, and 100 taels of gold and silver nudes each."

Fu Yi and Wei Ji thanked each other for their rewards. Someone outside informed the cabinet that there was something important to report. Chu Shaoling smiled at Fu Yi and said, "Let's stay in the palace today and talk to the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ning for a while."

Fu Yi smiled and agreed: "I will take the two children to kowtow to the imperial grandmother first, and then let the nanny send Yao'er back to Qianqing Palace, and let the uncle get closer to the children."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "That's even better, I'll go to the front first, Wei Ji will go change clothes and go with me."

Wei Ji nodded and went away, Fu Yi secretly marveled at the expressions of the two, blessed Chu Shaoling and led everyone to Ci'an Hall.

Chu Shaoling has always dealt with government affairs in the morning, and Chu Shaoling will not go to the cabinet unless there is something important in the afternoon. At this time, it is important to ask for an audience. Chu Shaoling went to the front in a walking chariot. As soon as he entered the pavilion, he saw several old officials were there. Chu Shaoling With a smile: "All the loves have worked hard, what's the matter?"

Chu Shaoling sat down, Junhou Zi took a folder and handed it to Chu Shaoling, said in a deep voice, "This is a rumor that has suddenly spread in the imperial city recently, the emperor will take a look."

Chu Shaoling opened the booklet and took a closer look. Wei Ji stood behind Chu Shaoling, glanced at it with downcast eyes, and felt a thud in his heart. Wei Ji only saw two lines of words...

"Nowadays, there are many rumors in the market, saying that a tyrant is in power, the royal family is withered, and the country is about to perish..."

Wei Ji couldn't see the following words, and thought they were treasonous words, Junhou Zi said in a low voice: "There are even more caring people who compiled these words into little nursery rhymes for children. Naughty children are ignorant, and they are often sung. Fortunately, Jing appointed by the emperor The man Zhaoyin has deployed in the imperial city is vigilant, and now these rumors are only in Wanshan Town, what is the emperor's plan?"

Wei Ji was worried that too many people in the royal family had died in the past few months, and there were successive funerals in the imperial city, and someone with a heart took the opportunity to make trouble.

Everyone was waiting for Chu Shaoling's decision, Zi Junhou reminded: "Should we block the news first, and then..."

"No, it's better to keep it sparse than to block it. Doesn't blindly blocking the news make people feel guilty?" Chu Shaoling threw the notebook on the book case and smiled: "Let the Ministry of punishment quickly find out who is behind the scenes. The leader will punish the nine clans, and the rest will Three clans.
