Tyrant [Rebirth]

Since Chu Shaoling ascended the throne, he has often been scolded by the officials and censors, but this year has not been as severe as it was in the early court.

Chu Shaoling was used to dealing with people from Yushitai, and said with a smile, "Liu Aiqing is worrying too much, it's just a small palace for Weiji to take a break between driving, and it will be involved in the great affairs of the community."

Liu Jiabo from Yushitai was just promoted this year. He comes from a poor family, has no party or affiliation, and is the most carefree person. After hearing Chu Shaoling's words, Liu Jiabo said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. It’s a state matter, since there is no reason for men to come and go freely in the harem, it’s fine if they are guarding the Holy Majesty, how can we give the Duke of Wei a palace in the harem, my Da Chu has never had such a precedent since the Taizu.”

As soon as this remark came out, many people took out the ancestral family law, and refuted it with reason and evidence. "They all moved out, so eager to let Chu Shaoling kneel down in the Taimiao to plead guilty, Chu Shaoling put the Ru kiln tea cup in his hand on the desk, and everyone was silent for a while.

"I'll have it here." Chu Shaoling was impatient to deal with these sour scholars, especially this Liu Jiabo. Since he was brought up, he has been admonishing him every day. He hates this person, but he hates it. He never received bribes, even Chu Shaoling couldn't help him, and said perfunctorily, "I have ordered people to seal the backyard of Bitao Garden, and the front door only leads to the front court, so it is no longer a harem."

Liu Jiabo still refused to let go: "Don't talk about the harem, Duke Wei is not an imperial family, so why is he living in the first palace in the inner city?"

Chu Shaoling smiled lightly: "Duke Wei has escorted him many times, and his contribution in the First Battle of Xiyi is even more unrewardable. So what if he is granted a palace?"

Liu Jiabo said solemnly: "The minister of the battle of Xiyi failed to go in person, and he also heard about Duke Wei's deeds in the imperial city that day. I admired him very much, but I still have one word... Your Majesty, the battle of Xiyi is already over. During the past years, the emperor has always given many gifts to the Wei Mansion, and all the courtiers have seen it, the emperor has awarded the rewards for almost a year, and it is probably enough for the Duke of Wei's great contribution."

Chu Shaoling immediately put down his face, and said calmly: "Is Liu Aiqing accusing me of giving too much reward?"

Liu Jiabo paused and nodded and said: "Everything is too late, please think twice."

Chu Shaoling sneered: "Has Liu Aiqing ever been on the battlefield? Do you know how much meritorious service the Wei Ji made in the first battle of Xiyi? Do you know how many injuries he suffered after returning from Xiyi?! I just rewarded meritorious soldiers. , is there something wrong? You live in peace and stability in the imperial city, enjoying the stability of the country that the generals have worked so hard to earn, but you can't bear to see their post-war rewards, what! "

Chu Shaoling was furious, and the officials hurriedly bowed down, but no one said anything to support the granting of Wei Ji from Bitao Garden. Chu Shaoling looked at Liu Jiabo coldly. Although Liu Jiabo also knelt down, he didn't have the slightest fear, he straightened his body and spoke loudly. Said: "Speaking of the battle of Xiyi, I remembered something again. I heard that the emperor's Western Expeditionary Army had a fierce battle between Retong and Fenghe. On that day, Duke Wei was besieged. The emperor promised Xiyi envoys ..."

"Liu Jiabo!" Li Jing, who is also the censor, scolded, "Don't speak nonsense!"

Liu Jiabo was already timid in his heart, but at this moment, his head stretched and shrunk, so he could only continue: "Ceded fifteen cities from Karakash to Xian'outuo in exchange for Duke Wei's life. For Duke Wei..."

"Presumptuous!" Chu Shaoling cut off Liu Jiabo's words sharply. The contract that day was always something that Chu Shaoling didn't want to mention. There is the nightmare of the former World Health Organization dying in blood.

Now that Liu Jiabo has touched Chu Shaoling's rebellious scales, Chu Shaoling no longer has the good self-cultivation in front of others, and said angrily: "I didn't make a seal that day! Now not only Karakash, but also Feng Hecheng Zhen have been defeated, it's not enough Is it not enough?!"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Liu Jiabo's body, he gritted his teeth and continued: "But the emperor had this idea that day, the emperor violated the ancestral system several times for the sake of the Duke of Wei, and I think that the Duke of Wei should plead guilty on his own."

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes, fortunately he knew that there was going to be a commotion today, so he sent Wei Ji to the army early to ask Wei Ji to plead guilty?hehe.

"The Taizu has an order that the censor should not be convicted of admonishing, Liu Jiabo, if it is not so, I can punish your nine clans based on what you just said." Chu Shaoling looked at Liu Jiabo coldly, "I respect the ancestors, please forgive me." You, take care of yourself, Sanchao!"

Recently, because of the matter of the Empress Dowager, Chu Shaoling has been very angry, but Liu Jiabo insisted on bumping into him at this time, because he couldn't really kill him. Chu Shaoling tried his best to suppress his anger, and summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to explain: " Find a reason to let Liu Jiabo out, and don't force me to break the rules of my ancestors."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought for a while and nodded: "Alright, although Liu Jiabo is upright, but he doesn't respect the power of the sky, and the court officials are disrespectful and disrespectful. It is really not suitable for him to stay in the imperial city. I should find a way."

In fact, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials discussed this matter with Zi Junhou after the court was over. They didn't really think that Liu Jiabo's disrespect would hurt the courtiers' face, but they were afraid that one day Liu Jiabo would completely anger Chu Shaoling and Chu Shaoling behead him. It's easy, but the reputation of executing officials is not good. For Chu Shaoling's thinking, keeping Liu Jiabo is a disaster after all, and it's better to get rid of it early.

Although there was a lot of anger because of this matter, no one dared to mention it anymore. Yu Shitai only said that it was put on hold for the time being.

The new year is very lively, Chu Shaoling left Wei Ji in the palace as in previous years, and coaxed him: "Your family has a lot of people, what would you say if your family members ask about your marriage?"

Wei Ji thought about it for a while and it turned out to be a matter, and this year, many people came to the palace to make the empress dowager happy, Wei Ji was also worried that some people who shouldn't have come in mixed with fish eyes, he was not at ease when he left Chu Shaoling's side, Wei Ji thought for a while and nodded, "Forget it, I'll just go back and have a look when everyone is gone."

"That's right." Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head, "I have sent someone to deliver the things that should be given to your house. A first-rank imperial order, is this worthy of the Yue family?"

Wei Ji felt embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "The emperor is joking again."

Chu Shaoling laughed and said, "Why are you joking? I'll give you a red envelope on the morning of the first day of the new year, and I'll never miss anything from you."

Wei Ji had no choice but to thank him dumbfounded.

In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, there is a special event in the palace for the new year. Since the 23rd year, various banquets have not been interrupted. When the Empress Dowager is in better health, she will sit at the banquet and say a few words to the old relatives In other words, when he was not in good health, Chu Shaoling invited someone to accompany the Empress Dowager in Ci'an Hall. Chu Shaoling knew that the Empress Dowager liked children, so he specially arranged for the children of the clan to beg for new year's money on the first day of the new year. The Empress Dowager was really happy and rewarded them one by one. There was a bag of small gold nudes, and a letter of gold was specially sent to Chu Shaoling. Chu Shaoling got a reward in the previous court and hurried to the Ci'an Hall to thank him, which made the empress dowager happy for a long time.

The Empress Dowager was in good health throughout the year, and Chu Shaoling's heart just eased. On the fifteenth day, the Empress Dowager fell ill again, and this time she couldn't get out of bed at all.

After Chu Shaoling heard the news, he first called the imperial physicians who had examined the Empress Dowager's pulse, and after several times of pressing, the imperial physicians gave the truth: If they can survive the spring, they will be able to expect peace in the summer.

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes, it was only a few months.

Chu Shaoling, the most empress dowager in the Ci'an Palace, personally served the Empress Dowager with medicines. Chu Shaoling slowly talked about the festive events in the palace after the Empress Dowager. Alright, if you old princes are willing to stay in the imperial city for a longer period of time, you can be treated kindly, don't be negligent."

Chu Shaoling quickly agreed, and said: "It's better to keep uncles until March, when the spring flowers are all in bloom, and you can accompany the emperor's grandmother to enjoy the flowers."

The Empress Dowager smiled: "March? That's fine, the Ai family knows in their hearts that this disease will never get better, and the Ai family may not be able to last until then."

Chu Shaoling felt pain in his heart, but his face was still gentle: "The imperial grandmother is joking again. The imperial doctor said that the imperial grandmother is much stronger than before, but she is not energetic because she eats less food recently. If the imperial grandmother I’m afraid it won’t take a month if I can make more money.”

The Empress Dowager laughed: "Don't coax the Ai family, the Ai family's own body is clear, and the body of the Ai family has been dying since your father left. Fortunately, I saw you ascend the throne later, and the children of these families are also alive. Aijia will be better if you show up, and after all these extra days, you have earned money."

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "The imperial grandmother should take care of herself even more. It has been less than a year since her grandson ascended the throne, and there is still a lot to learn from the imperial grandmother..."

"If you can teach you, the Ai family has taught you a long time ago, and the Ai family has heard about the affairs of the government. You have done a good job." The Empress Dowager touched Chu Shaoling's face lovingly and smiled, "The Ai family didn't do well. Son, God gave the Ai family a good grandson... The Ai family is satisfied, Ling'er, what the Ai family regrets the most is that they didn't marry you when they were healthy..."

The empress dowager's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said in a low voice: "When the Ai family leaves, who will leave such a large harem to? Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning...the Ai family are not at ease."

Chu Shaoling felt sour in his heart, and smiled deliberately: "So the imperial grandmother can't ignore her grandson, grandson..." Chu Shaoling's throat tightened, and finally he couldn't continue.

Chu Shaoling turned his face sideways, and forced the tears from his eyes. The Empress Dowager laughed when she saw him like this, hugged Chu Shaoling in her arms, and coaxed in a low voice: "I've become the emperor, how can I still be the emperor?" Looks like a child? Isn’t it a joke when people see it?”

Chu Shaoling shook his head: "The grandson has lost his manner."

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears and said in a low voice: "It's nothing to be sad about. When your grandpa left, the Ai family wanted to follow, but I was worried about your father. You are different from your father, but you There is something else that worries the Ai family, Ling'er... The Ai family knows that you dote on him, but no matter what, he is still a man."

Chu Shaoling was silent for a moment and said, "Damn my grandson."

The Empress Dowager laughed, rubbed her forehead and said, "I thought you would continue to coax Ai's family..."

Chu Shaoling really thought of hiding it from the Empress Dowager in the end, but in this situation, seeing the imperial grandmother Chu Shaoling who loved him for so many years suddenly couldn't tell a lie, Chu Shaoling got up, took a step back and knelt down: "I owe you There are so many of him, I...can't let him go."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Emperor, is this what you should say?"

It was the first time that the Empress Dowager called him that since she ascended the throne. Chu Shaoling felt extremely sore in his heart, his eyes suddenly became wet, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Grandson should die."

"For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't die, just look for bad luck." The Empress Dowager raised her hand and pulled Chu Shaoling up, wiped the teardrops from the corners of Chu Shaoling's eyes with one hand, and said softly, "The Ai family understands...I haven't said it all the time because Knowing that you like him, it is not easy for you to live. It is actually a pleasure to have a caring and caring person by your side to accompany Aijia. Your father and queen have lived a life of indifference all their lives. Aijia is not willing to let him go. So do you."

Chu Shaoling felt even more uncomfortable when he heard the words, the Empress Dowager said slowly: "The Ai family also ordered someone to spy in the dark. He is really loyal to you, and the Ai family is also relieved. You are willing to spoil him, but the Ai family is not willing What to say to make you upset, there is only one thing, Ling'er, there must be someone in your harem."

Chu Shaoling bowed his head in silence, and the Empress Dowager took Chu Shaoling's hand and said in a low voice: "You don't want any more children? Ling'er, promise Ai's family a word, and take Ling Yi into the palace when you are filial piety, don't you?" It's fine if you want to be a queen, but you can accept her as a concubine first, okay?"

Seeing that Chu Shaoling still hadn't spoken, the Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Are you going to make Ai's family go away?"

"Grandson dare not." Chu Shaoling lowered his head, "Grandson promised that he will accept Ling as his concubine after he has passed the filial piety."

The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Shaoling fixedly, her eyes were still not at ease, Chu Shaoling closed her eyes and said: "The ancestors are the ancestors, the grandson will not break his promise."

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the soft pillow and nodded, "The Ai family knows... You follow the Ai family's path in everything."

"The imperial grandmother thinks of her grandson in everything, how dare her grandson disobey the imperial grandmother?" Chu Shaoling helped the empress dowager pull up the blanket and comforted him softly, "The imperial grandmother can rest assured, the illness will recover after a while. "

The matter that the Empress Dowager has been thinking about has come to fruition, she felt extremely relaxed for a moment, she smiled and said nothing, the Empress Dowager was a little tired after talking for a long time, and she talked to Chu Shaoling again and then went to sleep When it was over, someone from outside urged Chu Shaoling to go to the front, Chu Shaoling walked a few steps outside, turned back, knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times before going.

Chu Shaoling will not break his promise, he will do it when he promises to accept Ling as his concubine, but this Ling is not Ling Yi, but Ling Yun who has already left in the fall of last year.
