Tyrant [Rebirth]

Three days later, Zhen Si entered the palace and entered the Yongfu Palace. The emperor summoned the lucky concubine Zhen for three consecutive days, and was very favored for a while.

The palace was peaceful as usual. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji were either fishing or playing chess these days. It was very pleasant. Wei Ji liked playing chess very much. Although he had never won, he was very interested. Chu Shaoling always liked playing chess with others. Hanging people, blocking the opponent little by little, like a cat playing with a mouse, but when playing chess with Wei Ji, Chu Shaoling was very gentle, and deliberately changed his way every game, letting Wei Ji learn from him. A lot of things.

The two of them took a nap at noon that day. Wang Muhan hurried over when they woke up and were playing chess. He whispered something in Chu Shaoling's ear. Chu Shaoling nodded and sneered: "It's nothing, take me to Haiyan In front of the hall, I will go in a while."

Wang Muhan nodded and went.

Wei Ji looked up, wanted to ask but was afraid of something he shouldn't know, so he hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Chu Shaoling smiled reassuringly: "There is a little eunuch whose hands and feet are not clean, and he stole something. It's okay." Chu Shaoling wanted to comfort Wei Ji, so he made up a story, but Wei Ji became alert, and said seriously: "Your Highness Such a person must not be left behind, the theft is trivial, but it can be seen that this person has misbehavior, this is the omission of His Highness, and it is all the fault of the minister, I think it is better to develop it early."

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "Sure enough, Wei Zhan and Wei Zhan are brothers, and they are both cautious. This person was discovered by your brother."

Let Chu Shaoling boast that Wei Ji was very happy in his heart, but he still tried his best to hide the joy on his face, and said seriously: "This is the duty of the minister, and there must be no loopholes around His Highness."

Chu Shaoling couldn't help laughing, and said: "Listen to you, I'll develop him now." Chu Shaoling got up, as if he had thought of something inadvertently, and smiled, "Don't come with me, what's the big deal? I want to eat peaches again, go and pick some for me, the red ones."

Wei Ji originally wanted to go with him, and ask carefully when and what he stole, if there were any accomplices, and if there were any connections to send it out, but after thinking about things that he could think of, Chu Shaoling naturally thought of it better , no need to say too much, nodded: "I will go now."

Chu Shaoling watched Wei Ji walk away before turning to go to Haiyan Hall. The gentleness on his face disappeared instantly, and he ordered coldly: "Except the guards, call all the people in the palace to Haiyan Hall."

The accompanying palace people hurried away.

A eunuch was kneeling in front of the steps of the Haiyan Hall. He was about 30 years old, shivering and being escorted by two guards, his face was as white as paper in fright.

Chu Shaoling watched condescendingly, and sneered: "Where are the letters delivered?"

Wang Muhan hurriedly sent a letter over, Chu Shaoling opened it and looked at it, the densely packed small characters were all about the things Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji did these days, everything was detailed, even the two kissed by the lake at night After writing everything down, the more angry Chu Shaoling became in his heart, the calmer his face became, and he smiled lightly: "It's not easy, can you still write?"

Only Wei Zhan had read the letter just now, and Wei Zhan's face turned pale at this time, it was dangerous, if this letter was taken back to the palace, then his brother...

Wang Muhan approached and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, all the palace servants are here."

Chu Shaoling nodded, and said: "I didn't ask you to come here for anything else today. I just want to say that in my life, I hate people who work hard and speak harshly. This slave has violated my two taboos. You can't say it, you have to give it to me." A little lesson, don't let people say that this king can't even control the palace people around him."

Wei Zhan looked up at Chu Shaoling and waited for instructions, Chu Shaoling said indifferently: "Fight to death."

The eunuch obviously didn't expect that Chu Shaoling would deal with him directly without asking, and in desperation he shouted in a thin voice: "My lord, spare me! The servants said!! It's four..." The eunuch was terrified to the extreme , struggled unconsciously, the guards who were escorting him were afraid that he would run away, so they quickly knocked him on the head with the hilt of his sword, blood spurted out, and the eunuch hugged his head and howled.

Chu Shaoling chuckled lightly: "You still want to make a contribution? It's a pity... This trick won't work with me. Just shut up and give me a slow beating. It will be fine if you die within an hour." He thought he had revealed the mastermind behind the scenes. Can you get a life if you come?In his dream, Chu Shaoling wanted everyone to know that as long as he had this thought, he would die.

Wei Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Chu Shaoling would conduct a scrutiny, and his brother's reputation would really be ruined.

What Wei Zhan could think of, Chu Shaoling naturally thought of it a long time ago. This eunuch is not his own, but a person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I want to choose a concubine for myself, who else can there be if it is not the Zhen family?Is there still a trial?

Chu Shaoling ordered all the palace people to observe the punishment, and turned around to find Wei Ji.

Wei Ji was picking peaches for Chu Shaoling on the east side of the palace, and there was no movement from the other side of the Haiyan Palace. Wei Ji had already picked out a basket, and there were different varieties of peach trees, some of which bore fruit. Small peaches, the fruit is only the size of an egg, and a little sour, hard to bite, Wei Ji stared at a few peach trees for a long time, Chu Shaoling was amused, and approached: "These are not enough for you to eat? Boss To see what that one is doing?"

Wei Ji was still thinking about the eunuch's theft, so he hurriedly asked, Chu Shaoling smiled: "It's nothing, I stole a small incense burner, and now... I've beaten him a few times, and when I return to the palace, I will directly throw him to guard the cold palace."

Only then did Wei Ji feel relieved, and told Chu Shaoling that he remembered the pickled peaches his nanny made for him when he was a child. Wei Ji had a large appetite since he was a child, and it was common for him to accumulate food. He made licorice pickled peaches to eat, the sweet and sour taste was very good, Wei Ji also wanted Chu Shaoling to try it.

Wei Ji wanted to give Chu Shaoling whatever good things he had, but he was afraid that Chu Shaoling would not like the crude things, so he hesitated for a long time before saying it. Hearing this, Chu Shaoling regained his spirits and said with a smile, "Okay, what do you know?"

Wei Ji smiled and nodded: "Well, at that time, the nanny took me every day, and I watched her do it."

Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji got up and went to pick a lot of small peaches, seeing the guards around them were twitching in their hearts, the first prince and Master Wei picked so many big peaches were not enough, now even the ones that are not much bigger than jujube are not let go Have you passed?

The two of them went back to the bedroom and washed the peaches themselves, and Chu Shaoling ordered someone to bring Wei Ji's sugar, salt, licorice, etc. Wei Ji took a small knife and picked out the peach pits, leaving only the hard core. The hard peach meat was weighed with powdered sugar and salt, mixed according to the recipe in memory, and some licorice was added.

Chu Shaoling brought a small white-glazed porcelain urn, and he and Wei Ji spread a layer of licorice mixed with powdered sugar first, then a layer of peach flesh, neatly stacked, and then spread down one by one, pressing firmly Yes, in the end Wei Ji covered the small urn and smiled: "Okay, I can eat it in two days."

It was the first time for Chu Shaoling to get these things, they were quite fresh, he put this small urn on the table of the Eight Immortals in the bedroom, ordered the palace people not to touch it, waited for two days before opening it, took some and tasted it, it tasted really good , and Wei Ji picked a lot of these small green peaches, and made more than ten urns of pickled peaches, and more than a dozen urns were neatly stacked behind the screen in the inner room of the two of them. Those who didn't know thought it was some kind of antique. old porcelain.

The two lived happily in the palace, and before they knew it, it was going to be the Hungry Ghost Festival. As usual, there would be sacrifices in the heavenly palace. As the eldest son of the direct line, Chu Shaoling couldn't go back. The queen mother had ordered someone to send a message. He rushed back before the Ghost Festival.

Chu Shaoling saw that Wei Ji was still reluctant to go back to the palace, so he softened his heart, and discussed with him: "It's still hot in the palace, if you like it, you can play for a few more days, and I can't take care of the sacrifices when I go back You, I will ask your brother to pick you up and return to the palace after I finish my work, okay?"

Wei Ji shook his head quickly: "Your Highness will follow you back." Wei Ji really likes this place, it's different from the palace, only Chu Shaoling is the master, he can relax and play, the time when the two of them are alone makes Wei Ji nostalgic, but if only He stayed by himself, no matter how beautiful the scenery in the palace was, he didn't bother to look at it, and he considered himself Chu Shaoling's personal guard, the last line of defense and protection when Chu Shaoling was in crisis, how could he leave his master?

Chu Shaoling's heart warmed, his phoenix eyes swept slightly, and the palace servants standing around retreated one by one. Chu Shaoling pulled the guard halberd over and rubbed his head, coaxing him with a smile: "From now on, I will come to the palace with you at least once a year, okay? good?"

Wei Ji nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Go back to the palace tomorrow, and today I'm going to pick some peaches. Your Highness will send them to the Emperor and Queen Mother when you go back. Your Highness will come to the palace and bring something...that would be better."

Chu Shaoling smiled lightly: "It's better that you think carefully, okay, I'll accompany you to go fishing for shrimp later."

Wei Ji didn't know much about people and the world, but he just felt by nature that if he went to a place, he would definitely bring back something good to Chu Shaoling and his family.

On that day, Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji had a good time playing in the palace for another day. Chu Shaoling wrote down all the inappropriate and inconvenient places he found these days, and at night he called the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who accompanied him, and explained them one by one: " Haiyan Hall was changed into Yongle Hall, Heqing Hall was changed into Changsheng Hall, the plaque on the palace gate was made of rosewood, and the gold characters on the plaque were made of pure gold..."

"Your Highness..." The Deputy Manager of the House of Internal Affairs squeezed his sweat and said, "Haiyan Hall and Heqing Hall... but the names that were set when the palace was built back then, the emperor also knows, so it's changed now, isn't it... "

Chu Shaoling said calmly: "Just listen to me." No matter what Haiyan Heqing built a palace for his mother, he never forgot to sing praises.

The deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said yes.

"The peach grove to the east of the palace is not bad, but it's a little bit off. Keep that one and don't move it, and then find three times as many trees from other places and transplant them into the palace. Make sure that you can see peach trees everywhere you look in the palace." Chu Shaoling thought for a while and said, "It's not for appreciating peach blossoms, don't plant those that only bloom but don't bear fruit." Chu Shaoling ordered trivial matters, and the deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took note of them.

Chu Shaoling ordered someone to bring the rewarded silver over, and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard these days, and these rewards for you, let alone delaying your money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

The deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs hurriedly apologized: "Your Highness is joking, it is the blessing of slaves for several lifetimes to follow His Highness out to learn more."

Chu Shaoling closed the teacup and put it on the small kang table, chuckled: "Not only is it to reward you for your diligence, these days...you must have seen the things in the palace. What if someone asks you after you return to the palace?"

The deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs vaguely knew that Chu Shaoling was talking about him and Wei Ji being in the palace. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji were intimate and gentle these days, and they did not avoid people at all. If you can stay here, you won’t be able to say anything to the palace, but the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came with you will go back to the palace. A few days ago, Chu Shaoling killed an eunuch in front of the Haiyan Palace. The deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still remembers Now, after hearing this, I'm already in a cold sweat.

Chu Shaoling raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Knowing such a new thing, I guess I'm waiting to go back to the palace to learn the tongue."

The deputy steward of the House of Internal Affairs quickly knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the servants are just serving the master's objects. How dare the objects talk nonsense, let alone bring back the affairs of the palace."

Chu Shaoling smiled: "I'm just joking, what are you so nervous about?" Before the deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could relax, Chu Shaoling relaxed again, and said, "I didn't trouble you last time because This king knows exactly who is causing trouble again, but this is only allowed once. This time, the people who followed this time are people from your Ministry of Internal Affairs. No one around this king dares to talk too much. What did the king hear... these people are all your subordinates, and if something happens again, it will not be a matter of killing a eunuch. This king is not a good man and a faithful woman. When the time comes...don't blame this king for being cruel, eh ?”

Chu Shaoling had a lot of prestige, and the deputy manager of the House of Internal Affairs repeatedly kowtowed, and said nonuo: "Don't worry, my lord, don't worry, my lord, I wouldn't dare to give this slave a thousand guts. I really don't know what happened last time, my slave..."

"Okay." Chu Shaoling secretly checked what happened last time, and naturally it had nothing to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't tolerate it, and smiled reassuringly, "Just remember what I said, go."

In the end, Chu Shaoling got a good face, but the deputy manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still so frightened that he couldn't calm down, and he repeatedly agreed to retreat.
