Tyrant [Rebirth]

A few days later, there was a rumor in the harem.

At the beginning, it was said that when the envoy of Qin Tianjian was counting the days of his own farming this year for the emperor, he accidentally learned the horoscope of Wei Ji’s birthday in Qianqing Palace, and the envoy of Qin Tianjian took Wei Ji’s horoscope back to calculate carefully , I don’t know what the result was, I only know that from that day on, Qin Tianjian Zhengshi suddenly fell ill, and couldn’t even get out of bed, but after drinking the medicine from the imperial doctor, he went to the Qianqing Palace. I begged to see the emperor, the emperor agreed, and retreated the crowd to have a private conversation with the envoy of Qin Tianjian for almost an hour. After that, the emperor rewarded the envoy with many treasures and issued a password to let the envoy rest in peace of mind. What else? Also not allowed to tell others.

Why do you still have to be so sneaky after being rewarded? The more so, the more curious people are, what did the two monarchs and ministers say in that hour?

Naturally, no one dared to ask the emperor, and there were always a lot of people who made indirect inquiries, but Zhengshi kept his mouth tight and didn't reveal a single word. No matter how others asked him, he only said that the emperor gave orders, and this matter had nothing to do with it. It is too big to disclose.

Everyone's appetite has been lifted, what is going on?This year is a disaster year?Or is the broom star coming to the world?

Just when everyone was about to give up, Zheng Shi suddenly spoke.

That day, the envoy was drinking outside, and when he was drunk, he laughed with a few officials who went with him: "We have caught up with the good time. With the new emperor, the world will change in a few years. Wait for a few more years. It will definitely create a prosperous world.”

One of them was also half-drunk, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Shengming, who doesn't know this, let me tell you."

Zhengshi shook his head with his tongue out: "I'm not talking flattery, you see, what I'm saying is true, believe it or not, in less than ten years, Da Chu's national strength will be comparable to that of Huaqing's prosperous age. "

The man hiccupped and mocked, "You know again? How did you know?"

Just making a smile, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "That day when I was going to the Qianqing Palace, I ran into the emperor and ordered the general manager Wang to buy a substitute for Wei Guogong. Huasi bought a substitute for Duke Wei, and I was standing by, the emperor gave me Duke Wei's birth date, and asked me to figure it out, if there is any disaster in fate, it should be resolved as soon as possible... ..."

When the little official heard that it was the previous incident, he suddenly regained his energy, and quickly asked: "And then? What did you figure out?"

Zhengshi said softly: "It's not too bad, this calculation almost cost me my life, alas... people say that the secrets of heaven should not be revealed, it is true, after I calculated the horoscope of Duke Wei, I fell ill immediately, alas... ..."

Several people's eyes widened when they heard the words, and they grabbed Zhengshi's arm and urged: "How? What is the fate of Wei Guogong?"

Just as he yawned, his eyelids were about to close, he shook his head and said in a low voice, "Your majesty won't let you say... don't let me tell you, I'll just tell you that with Duke Wei around, this world will always get better and better." , he...was born to assist our emperor, with him around, we can't go wrong with anything..."

Just as he seemed extremely drunk, he slid down the table, lay down on the floor and fell asleep.

The few remaining people helped the envoy up and shook him for a long time but failed to wake him up. A small official said in a low voice: "What happened a few days ago... was actually related to the Duke of Wei. No wonder the emperor issued a password. Don't let me say..."

One of them thought for a while, and said for a while: "So that's how it is... Speaking of this, I remembered an old incident. Do you remember that year? When the emperor was still a prince, he once went out to the city to perform a plowing ceremony on behalf of the late emperor. On the way, he met A group of assassins. I was serving in the palace at that time. I heard that Wei Guogong, the guard at that time, blocked a knife for the emperor, and got hit on the arm! I remember it really, if it wasn’t for the guards, the emperor would still No... bah bah, I made a slip of the tongue..."

The person next to him was aroused, and quickly said: "If you want to say this, I also remembered something! I heard that when the emperor went west to conquer Xiyi, Princess Xiyi broke into the barracks with assassins, and Wei Guogong pretended to be himself It was the crown prince, who was kidnapped by Princess Xiyi in place of the emperor! Fortunately, Mr. Wei was very skilled, and he took him down after telling Princess Xiyi's words. If it was the emperor who was kidnapped... Alas, I dare not think... ..."

Everyone nodded, and said: "Later, the Duke of Wei did a great job in the war in Xiyi, thanks to the Duke of Wei, tsk tsk..."

"Is it possible that Duke Wei was sent by God to assist our emperor?"

One person lowered his voice: "Why don't the emperor let Lord Zhengshi speak out, because he is afraid that others will find out and steal the Duke of Wei? I'll just say...the emperor has been too smooth these few years, think about it, What was it like when Empress Ling passed away? Later, she became the king smoothly and became the crown prince, and now she is the emperor. What about the concubine Li and the second prince who were so favored back then? Now the grass is growing on the mausoleum ,well……"

One of them drank the least, and when everyone talked more and more, he had no scruples and quickly interrupted: "Everyone! Everyone... No matter what, it has nothing to do with us. It is good that Da Chu is getting more and more prosperous. Now we only drink, don't you Talk about state affairs..."

Everyone stopped talking after thinking about it, and started to drink as before. Qin Tianjian, who was helped to lie on the couch beside him, let out a long sigh. The emperor told him that he had done his best, and Let's see how it goes.

The rumors about Wei Ji spread out like this, because everyone was afraid of Chu Shaoling, everyone was secretly talking about it, each of them kept secret, and it was already summer when this word reached Wei Ji's ears.

During the dog days, there were eight pots of ice in the Qianqing Palace. Chu Shaoling leaned on the imperial concubine chair to read the memorial. Wei Ji poured a cup of plum soup for Chu Shaoling and brought it over. Turning his head, Wei Ji had no choice but to bring it to Chu Shaoling's mouth. Chu Shaoling took two sips from Wei Ji's hand, nodded and said: "This plum soup is good, I will also send some to Ci'an Hall when I come back, the Empress Dowager and others The body is getting more and more unhappy every day, and it is better to use something to digest food."

Wang Muhan, who was waiting outside, heard this and hurriedly gave orders. Chu Shaoling took the ink brush, wrote a few words on the notebook and threw it aside.

Wei Ji glanced at Zhezi with downcast eyes, and said in a low voice, "Is there any news from Yunnian?"

"Yeah." Chu Shaoling nodded, with a satisfied look on his brows and eyes, "The Xiyi people worked hard to cultivate, and it's only been half a year, and they have opened up so much wasteland, and all the good fields before have been planted. Now one-third of the harvested food can supply the entire Xiyi people for the New Year, I have already explained that the rest will be transported up by water..."

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "If it goes on like this... Next year, we can raise some taxes for Yunnan."

"Think twice, Your Majesty." Wei Ji frowned slightly, "The Xiyi people have done nothing wrong in the past half a year, and they have opened up so much wasteland for my Da Chu. The Emperor just doesn't reward me, how can I raise taxes again? Now that the imperial mausoleum has not been repaired and there are no battles, how can the emperor set a precedent for adding gifts without reason?"

Chu Shaoling smiled faintly: "Duke Wei, the Xiyi people have been my slaves of Da Chu for generations, and their lives are mine, so what if I charge a few extra stones of grain?"

Wei Ji now has his own way of dealing with Chu Shaoling, and said in a soft voice: "But the emperor has a heart for the whole world and is merciful to all people, so he will definitely not let his people suffer."

people?Chu Shaoling never regarded the Xiyi people as his subjects, no matter how nice Chu Shaoling said outside, he was always on guard against these Liaoliang subjugated people in his heart, otherwise the garrison in Yunnan would never have been called back.

Chu Shaoling raised his hand and scraped Wei Ji's side face: "It's useless to have a sweet mouth."

Wei Ji paused and smiled: "Then I can't do it anymore, I don't dare to imitate the officials, let alone kneel down like the censors, I can only say a few words to please the emperor, the emperor... Taxes for the Xiyi people are already heavy, so there is really no need to pay more."

Chu Shaoling shook his head: "Forget it, I'll listen to you."

Wei Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "The minister has heard some...some strange things recently, does the emperor know?"

Wei Ji knew it all, and if he pretended not to be clear, he would be covering it up, Chu Shaoling smiled: "But you are said to be sent by God to help me?"

Wei Ji nodded, and asked in a low voice: "Since the emperor knew about it a long time ago, why didn't he order to ban this nonsense?"

Chu Shaoling leaned back into the imperial concubine chair and pulled Wei Ji up, brushed Wei Ji's hair and thought for a while, "It's just something the people in the palace said in idleness, and it's not a bad thing to say, why should you be serious? ?”

Wei Ji was angry: "They said that the emperor had a smooth journey because of the help of his ministers. What are they talking about?! Do they know how much the emperor suffered in the past? How did it go smoothly? It's just that the past six months have been better. Before the emperor, there was a day when the emperor was not full. It's a calculation, they don't know anything, and they attribute the emperor's full of schemes to this illusory thing!"

Chu Shaoling laughed, he never thought that Wei Ji would have thought of this, Chu Shaoling smiled and lowered his head to kiss Wei Ji's eyebrows: "I thought you didn't like other people spreading rumors about you, so it's...hehe, I don't know I don't care, I'm happy to count my credit on you."

"I'm not happy." Speaking of Wei Ji, he remembered something again and couldn't help whispering, "Now... there are still people slandering the emperor behind his back, saying that the emperor is cruel, what are these people's intentions? The minister is so big , I have never seen a better person than the emperor, the emperor treats people very well, they don't know, they just talk nonsense..."

Chu Shaoling laughed, and only this stupid thing always thought he was a good person. Chu Shaoling smiled: "It's okay...they only dare to talk behind their backs, but when they really come to me, which one is not respectful? If you are dissatisfied with me, you can say it face to face. Steal behind your back, you're just a coward."

Wei Ji lowered his eyes and did not speak. After a while, he remembered what he said before, and raised his head and said: "The emperor ordered to ban those words. I dare not take credit for the emperor."

"It's nothing at all, so what's the point of saying it deliberately? It's so boring." Chu Shaoling said indifferently, "They will naturally know about my merits and virtues in the future."

Wei Ji's heart was moved when he heard the words. Chu Shaoling reorganized the government since he ascended the throne. After Chu Shaoling's big clean-up, everything became orderly. , Da Chu will have a new scene.

Chu Shaoling is full of ambition, everything is going according to his plan, take your time, before putting Wei Ji on the back seat, he will clear away all obstacles for Wei Ji, and then hold his hand and personally Put him on the throne.
