Tyrant [Rebirth]

Chu Shaoling paused and said to Shui Xin, "Do as I tell you, go down."

Shui Xin hurriedly retreated, Chu Shaoling pursed his lower lip and said in a low voice, "It's cool outside, let's go inside first."

Wei Ji followed Chu Shaoling into the side hall, and when they sat down, Wei Ji almost thought that what he heard just now was false, how could it be possible that Chu Shaoling wanted to make himself queen, Wei Ji asked after a long while, "The emperor just talked to Master Shui What are you talking about, it's the minister... Didn't you hear clearly?"

Chu Shaoling took a sip of the teacup and calmed himself down: "I heard that right, I was just discussing with Shui Xin the imperial edict for making you queen."

"This imperial edict will be read out to all the people during this year's sacrifice to heaven." Chu Shaoling simply said, "The place for worshiping the sky has been selected, and it is already under construction. It will be completed before the sacrifice to heaven."

Chu Shaoling also poured Wei Ji a cup of tea, handed it to him and said slowly, "I was hesitating when to tell you, but now you heard it yourself...it's good."

Wei Ji's hands trembled a little, he took the teacup, paused for a moment, put the teacup back on the small table, got up, went to Chu Shaoling, knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "I know that I have no talent or virtue, I beg the emperor to take it back. "

Chu Shaoling sighed, he knew it would be like this.

Wei Ji said in a low voice: "Is Shui Xin the only one who knows now? The Emperor should find a reason to send Shui Xin an outsider, and send him far away first. This news must be buried firmly, and we cannot let..."

"Do you think I will take it back if you don't want it?" Chu Shaoling said lightly, "I have already planned these things. If you agree, there are ways you agree. If you don't agree, I also have ways you don't agree with. No matter what, I will definitely issue this edict."

Wei Ji's heart sank, and he tried his best not to tremble, and continued to persuade: "Has the emperor ever thought that when this edict is issued, the clan will be the first to stand up, and the emperor will appoint ministers as queens, how can they tolerate it? If the emperor's uncle kneels down with the ministers, what is the emperor's plan?"

"It's written in the imperial edict that I will choose a son from the clan. People with young children in the clan will not be tempted." Chu Shaoling sneered, "Do you think they are all so loyal to the royal family?"

Wei Ji's lips turned white, and he said softly: "Where are the officials? What about the censors? How could they agree? And the subjects of the world... If someone uses this as an excuse to act in the name of 'the Qing emperor's side', what does the emperor plan to do?" ?”

"Are my years of hard work in vain?" Chu Shaoling said arrogantly, "How many years have the people been unable to save food surplus? But now, the rice jars in their homes are full, and they are reluctant to part with the prosperity that has finally ushered in." On the contrary, even if someone takes the opportunity to seek death, no one will follow."

Wei Ji closed his eyes and tremblingly said: "The emperor is very thoughtful... He must have made all the preparations. I know that the emperor wants to give me a title, but I don't really care..."

"When I was a bodyguard in Bitao Garden, did I ever think that I would be lucky enough to be with the emperor?" Wei Ji's eyes turned red, "At this point, I am satisfied. The Empress Dowager said something to me before she left. The words, I always remember... The Empress Dowager said that life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten. I have everything, and it is really nothing if I am a little short of it."

"Before the empress dowager left, I regretted that I was not a woman, otherwise I would have gotten a point. In fact... rather than being able to stand beside the emperor in a legitimate way, I hope that I am a man. In this way... the world is peaceful for the emperor to prepare troops for the emperor and stand ready for death." ; when the war is turbulent, defend the emperor's family and country, and bathe in blood on the battlefield." Wei Ji looked up at Chu Shaoling, "I am a man, and I have my own way to be loyal and filial to the emperor as a man, so that I will not insult the emperor's feelings for my minister .”

Chu Shaoling's eyes were red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You don't think it's a big deal, but I think it's a big deal... You don't feel aggrieved, I feel aggrieved!!"

Chu Shaoling swept the teacup on the desk to the ground, and said sharply: "I want to build you a palace in the harem! I want you to be worshiped by all the officials with me! Four barbarian congratulations!! I don’t want to hear those censors tell me over and over again that love is not in line with reason! I am the emperor! I have worked so hard to get to this day, why can’t I even do this?! If so, why didn’t you do it that day? Go back to the mountains together, at least I will be buried with you in a hundred years!!"

"I know what you want to say. I've told myself countless times to tell you! I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!!" Chu Shaoling lowered his voice, "I've had enough... There is no need to discuss it, I will continue to do it if you agree or not, except for you... If there are any dissidents, one, I will kill one, and I must do the next thing."

Wei Ji gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "The emperor can stop the mouths of all the people in the world now, how can he stop the mouths of the future generations? The emperor's merits will last forever, and the descendants of Dezhao, how can I Because of this, the emperor's meritorious service has been ruined!"

Chu Shaoling stepped forward and looked down at Wei Ji: "I dare to bear the name of future generations for you, do you dare?"

Chu Shaoling's gaze was like a torch, and he looked at Wei Ji fixedly. The benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and filial piety in Wei Ji's heart were shattered in an instant, and tears flowed down his face. He nodded and choked up: "I dare you."

Chu Shaoling lowered his head and kissed Wei Ji's forehead and coaxed, "Don't be afraid... Leave it to me."

Shui Xin was still revising the imperial edict one by one, and Chu Shaoling had let the wind out. Sure enough, no matter how much preparation he had made, there were still many people who opposed it. In the morning of the next day, someone asked Chu Shaoling whether the rumors were true or not. This was the emperor's new policy. The most effective method is to let others know first. If there is a strong opposition, you can leave it alone and just say it is a rumor. The officials in the court came prepared today, and Chu Shaoling must take back his order.

Chu Shaoling looked at the ministers indifferently, without the slightest hesitation: "This is indeed the case. My filial piety period is about to pass. After I have passed my filial piety, I will choose an auspicious day to get married and make the guard halberd my queen."

The court was in an uproar, and Chu Shaoling was too lazy to listen to their nonsense, so he got up and said, "I've made up my mind, there's no need to discuss it any more."

Chu Shaoling's expression was indifferent: "This is my family's business, so you really don't need to worry about it."

"I guess you all came here for this..." Chu Shaoling straightened his robes, "If you have nothing else to do, let's leave."

Chu Shaoling left on his own, leaving the shocked courtiers behind.

The days after that were very chaotic, and it was easier to dismiss the people of the clan, but those officials were not so easy to deal with. In order to take the Wei Mansion out, Chu Shaoling even ordered Wei Ji and Wei Zhan to kneel down with those officials, Regardless of whether the Wei government agrees or disagrees with this matter, they always have to put on an appearance.

Civil servants always have some integrity. If Chu Shaoling didn't let go of his mouth for a day, they really knelt for almost a month. Chu Shaoling just didn't make a statement, exhausting everyone. Gradually, the older ones couldn't hold on anymore. After more than a month like this, Chu Shaoling was summoned when the ministers kneeling in the court had almost changed. Before these people could say what they had prepared for a long time, Chu Shaoling stopped him first: "You don't need to say too much, I have already made up my mind." decision."

A young official in the censor was about to die, and the guards in the court immediately took down the official. Chu Shaoling said indifferently: "Want to die? It's easy... Who else is like him?"

A few bloody people came out, followed by more than a dozen people, a total of 26 people, Chu Shaoling sneered: "All these twenty people will be taken to the Ministry of punishment, and they will be executed outside the Meridian Gate at noon tomorrow!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. Is the emperor going to kill the speaker? !The Taizu once issued an order, and the officials were endlessly persuading and convicted, but the emperor actually wanted to violate the ancestral system? !

The twenty or so people were escorted away, Chu Shaoling turned around and returned to Qianqing Palace, the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and returned home in despair.

The guard halberd was waiting for Chu Shaoling in the bedroom of the Qianqing Palace, and Chu Shaoling felt a little distressed: "You have to act well, let's go."

Wei Ji smiled: "Your health is good, what is this?" After speaking, he left the bedroom, walked to the front of the main hall of Qianqing Palace and knelt down straight.

According to the previous arrangement, Wei Ji would have to kneel until tomorrow morning. Chu Shaoling couldn't bear it, and after kneeling for less than an hour, he ordered someone to spread the word: The emperor pardoned the twenty or so officials, please hurry up, Mr. Wei. get up.

Although the kneeling time is short, it is enough to be eye-catching in front of the main hall of Qianqing Palace where people come and go, especially the family members of those officials who have been imprisoned. Knowing that Wei Ji knelt down for the sake of the officials, there is no need for Qianqing Palace. Talked.

Wei Ji personally took people to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to release them. In the past few months, these officials have said a lot about Wei Ji. The officials were all embarrassed, Wei Ji didn't care, greeted each of them one by one, and then personally ordered someone to prepare a carriage for these people, Chu Shaoling was acting but Wei Ji was not, he acted as he wanted, and the boss was embarrassed to pay for it: " It's all caused by Wei Ji, and it's made all the adults suffer."

Everyone could see that Wei Ji was sincere, and felt even more ashamed, got into the carriage and went home, never mentioning the matter of kneeling again.

I don’t know whether it was Chu Shaoling who laid the groundwork very well in the past few years or whether the series of responses this time were too smooth. The matter of setting up the guard halberd as the queen actually made everyone acquiesce. In order to appease the people, Chu Shaoling also reduced the tax by half this year. I didn't know it, but I heard that the Duke of Wei was sent by God to benefit Da Chu, and the tax was reduced because of the matter of the Duke of Wei. Everyone was very happy. Since then, the matter of establishing the Queen has finally been confirmed.

"Your majesty...why is the platform for offering sacrifices to the sky built on Duanchang Cliff?" Wei Ji frowned slightly holding the list sent by the Ministry of Rites, "There is a lot of noise there... I have passed by there before, the cliff is broken, it is not a good place to go .”

"Who said that? It's a good place." Chu Shaoling was slightly lost in thought, smiled and said, "Besides, the scenery there is pretty good now. I have someone bulldozed the Broken Heart Cliff, and built a high platform from that land. The fortifications are huge. It has been renovated for half a year, and it still looks good after thinking about it.”

Wei Ji was taken aback: "The Broken Intestine Cliff has been leveled?! So... such a high mountain..."

"Well, I like that place, but I don't like that precipitous cliff." Chu Shaoling didn't want to talk about it any more, so he lowered his head and kissed Wei Ji's lips, "Tomorrow is the great gift to sacrifice to heaven, are you afraid?"

Wei Ji shook his head, nodded again, and said a little embarrassedly: "Chen... I can't remember it."

Chu Shaoling gently took Wei Ji into his arms: "Don't be afraid, I will personally lead you to the altar tomorrow."

At Chenshi the next day, Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji arrived at the altar outside the city together. This altar built from the cliff was hundreds of feet high, with a total of 610 steps. Wei Ji's hand went up step by step.

Wei Ji wondered why the Tiantai was built here, and the officials were also puzzled, only Chu Shaoling knew that this was the place where he died holding Wei Ji in the previous life.

The land under Chu Shaoling's feet is the place where Wei Ji fought three thousand forbidden troops for him alone. Here, Wei Ji's blood and tears flowed. Chu Shaoling will tell the world here that he and Wei Ji will inherit Heaven is ordered to be together from generation to generation.

Chu Shaoling was dressed in dragon-pattern gown, and Wei Ji was in phoenix dark-pattern royal costume. Every time Chu Shaoling took a step, he silently said "hold your hand", and Wei Ji silently said "grow old with you" every step he took. There are a total of 610 eight-sentence commitments.

Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji walked up to the altar, looking down at the land of Da Chu under their feet, the sun and the moon were shining brightly, and they were magnificent.

No matter how many hardships, no matter how unsatisfactory they are, they have made it all the way. Only at this moment can Chu Shaoling be upright and justifiably say to this person who can shed blood and tears for him as before: "In this world, is ours."
