Tyrant [Rebirth]

After another seven days, Chu Shaoling and his party finally arrived at the imperial city. Chu Shaotao, the heir of King Rong, went out of the city ten miles to meet him. Chu Shaoling got out of the carriage early and changed to a war horse. Approaching, Chu Shaotao bowed down from a distance and respectfully said: "Congratulations, General, General Wu Yunchang."

Chu Shaoling got off his horse and smiled at Chu Shaotao. Their eyes met, and the two of them knew each other. Chu Shaotao ordered someone to bring good wine, and said with a smile: "This is good wine from the empress dowager. Congratulations to all the generals on their triumphant return."

The attendant took the white porcelain wine bottle and filled several wine glasses inlaid with silver silk. Chu Shaotao personally offered the first glass to Chu Shaoling, bowed his head and said: "The general worked hard. The general was brave and heroic in the first battle of Liaoliang. It's really a pleasure to see the hidden dangers of my great Chu for a hundred years!"

Chu Shaoling drank the wine bowl with a smile. Chu Shaotao offered the cup to Wei Zhan again, and said with a smile: "The general who protects the country has worked hard. The soldiers stepped on the leaves to catch the frost and returned. Thanks to the care of the general who protects the country, one hundred thousand There is no mistake in the soldiers' millions of stones, food and grass, and it all depends on the general's diligence."

Wei Zhan bowed to thank him and took the wine glass to finish. Chu Shaotao smiled again and said, "I would like to congratulate the general on the birth of his precious son. Princess Fuyi's mother and child are safe. I have seen those two brothers. They are very energetic."

Speaking of Fu Yi and the child, Lai Wei Zhan also had some warmth on his face, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Chu Shaotao smiled, turned around and took a glass of wine with both hands to offer to Wei Ji and said solemnly: "The princess of Liaoliang was captured alive in the Karakash camp, and Retong took the life of the prince of Liaoliang with an arrow in the first battle. Thousands of riders broke through the siege of tens of thousands of people in Liaoliang. General Hussars made countless achievements in this battle. When I heard about the great achievements of General Wei in the imperial city, I only hated myself for not being able to witness the heroic appearance of General Wei on the battlefield! General Wei He is a natural born god, so I admire him."

Wei Ji bowed his head humbly: "Your Majesty is too famous." He was about to take the wine glass, but he was stopped by Chu Shaoling, Chu Shaotao and Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoling, Chu Shaoling took the wine glass and said indifferently: "Huh Cavalry generals are not suitable for drinking when their old wounds are not healed, and this drink was done for him alone."

Everyone heard the words and looked at Chu Shaoling. Chu Shaoling drank it in one gulp and put the wine glass on the tray held by the attendant.

Chu Shaoling held back the wine, unblocked and drank a series of movements as if it was a very common thing, Wei Ji's face was unmoved, but he was a little panicked, the ridicule in Chu Shaotao's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Forget it, the prince has always been sympathetic to his subordinates."

The crowd finally entered the city after doing enough superficial work. Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji entered the city one after the other, followed by Chu Shaotao and the others. "

Chu Shaoling nodded, then turned to Chu Shaotao and said, "What's wrong?"

"What else can I do?" Chu Shaotao said in a deep voice, "The queen mother is busy asking the House of Internal Affairs to organize the wedding for you, don't you know?"

Chu Shaoling smiled: "So why don't I come back in a hurry?"

Chu Shaotao laughed, and lowered his voice: "Then what about the one in front? I know everything about the front line, Wei Ji... I used to underestimate him. I only think that he hasn't grown up yet. He has a good temper and a soft temper. He is not warm to anyone, but he is a fierce one. Can Wei Ji agree to your wedding at this time? I heard what the Queen Mother means... She wants you to get married first and then ascend the throne, without delay .”

How did you know the benefits of Chu Shaoling's heart-to-heart guard halberd: "The Empress Dowager wants me to get married first and then ascend the throne, but I want to do the opposite, to ascend the throne first and then get married."

Chu Shaotao was stunned for a moment: "This is up to you to decide?"

Chu Shaoling smiled and didn't speak again, Chu Shaotao came to his senses, and a trace of hatred surged in his heart: "I should also learn from you, if I had done it earlier, I wouldn't have let the imperial concubine and my pre-term son die in vain. .”

Chu Shaoling sighed softly: "Be patient for a while, won't Prince Rong's Mansion be your master in a short time?"

Chu Shaotao let out a long breath and didn't say any more. In fact, he is now in charge of the Rong Palace. Chu Shaoling is about to ascend the throne. He has made great contributions to the new emperor. Everyone in the palace can see who is standing now. It is more stable, no one needs to say much, they have taken refuge with Chu Shaotao, even King Rong is much better to Chu Shaotao and Princess Rong now, but it is a pity that Chu Shaotao will not pay attention to him anymore.

Not long after, everyone entered the Xuanwu Gate, and Chu Shaoling ordered people to untie their swords and armor, packed up and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Now that the emperor can't get out of bed, a visit to the council hall is just a formality. Chu Shaoling sent Wei Zhan back to the Wei Mansion to see Fu Yi and the child, and then said to Wei Ji: "The Queen Mother didn't let the East Palace be cleaned up. You go back to the palace to rest first, and I will return to the palace after I greet the Queen Mother."

Wei Ji raised his head to look at Chu Shaoling, feeling a little uneasy, he has very good hearing, he heard a lot about what Chu Shaoling and Chu Shaotao were saying just now, is the queen mother going to marry Chu Shaoling?

The two looked at each other, and Chu Shaoling saw the worry in Wei Ji's eyes, and when Wei Ji knelt down to salute him, he lifted him up and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I won't marry anyone else."

After Chu Shaoling helped Wei Ji up, he said solemnly: "You don't need to be polite, go back." After finishing speaking, he took the palace servants and turned around to go to Ci'an Hall. Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoling's back and missed a beat in his heart. ?If you don't know how to get married, you don't know how to get married. What do you mean you can't marry someone else?

Wei Zhan looked at the distraught Wei Ji and asked in doubt: "What's the matter? Your Highness won't be able to return to the palace for a while. You should go back with me first. The family still misses you."

"Yes." Wei Ji came back to his senses and nodded, "This time there is a lot of money, I have someone take it with me, and I will take it home."

The two brothers didn't mention it when they returned to the Wei Mansion, but the Empress Dowager in Ci'an Palace took Chu Shaoling's hand and looked at him for a long time before she felt relieved, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing serious, alas...these days I feel sorry for my family. It has been hanging, and I can only let it go when I see you."

"Isn't grandson doing well?" Chu Shaoling said with a smile as he sat beside the queen mother, "Thanks to the emperor's grandmother taking care of the palace these days, grandson can fight outside with peace of mind."

The queen mother said: "What is this worth? By the way, there is something that Aijia has always wanted to discuss with you, but there is no time for this pile of bad things to come out. Ling'er, it's time for you to get married."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Yes, to tell you the truth, my grandson has really been thinking about this matter recently..." This is the truth, but what he was thinking about was how to marry Wei Ji into the family in a legitimate way.

The Empress Dowager thought that Chu Shaoling was afraid that the emperor would delay things after his death, so she nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "My good boy, you are thinking of going with Ai's family again, understand why Ai's family has urged you to come back one after another, I really can't wait for this matter." , your royal father... well, can you please go and pay your respects to your royal father?"

Chu Shaoling paused and said, "The grandson will go in a while."

The queen mother said softly: "This child! Why don't you go to your father's place first when you return to the palace, and wait for the censors to submit the papers?"

Chu Shaoling thought to himself that he couldn't open his eyes even if I went there, what should he do?Nodded: "Grandson knows it's wrong."

The queen mother comforted: "The Ai family knows that you are uncomfortable, but your father and emperor are all like that, so please show some filial piety, even if it is for others to see? If you don't say much about the wedding, the Ai family will be fine." It's time to make arrangements. The Ai family will bring the girls into the palace when the time comes, and you have to pick them. First decide on the candidate for the crown princess, and the rest will be carried in by you after you get married. Go to the house, you are not young, and there are not many people around you, other... If you like anything, tell Aijia, and I will point it out to you."

Chu Shaoling laughed, nodded and said: "Okay, I will follow the arrangement of the emperor's grandmother."

When the Queen Mother thought of Yingying and Yanyan in that room in the future, she felt relieved and said with satisfaction: "Well, your child is just to let Ai's family worry, and he will listen to whatever Ai's family says since he was a child. When you make the Ai family happy, hey... let’s not talk about it, you are tired just after you come back, go to Chengqian Palace and kowtow before you go back.”

Chu Shaoling got up to salute the queen mother, and said: "There is nothing good in the west, but on the way back, I saw some interesting earthen rituals. My grandson has been packed, and I will send it to the emperor's grandmother in the evening. The things are very crude. The emperor's grandmother Keep it as a reward."

The Queen Mother laughed more and more warmly when she heard the words: "You have a heart, you have to take these things with you when you go to war... Ai's family is not willing to give them away, haha, go, go..."

Chu Shaoling smiled and knelt down. After leaving the hall, the smile on Chu Shaoling's face fell, and it seemed that he had to start early.

Wei Ji hadn't come back when he returned to Prince Qin's mansion, Chu Shaoling didn't ask any more questions after knowing that he had returned to Wei's mansion, and went directly inside and asked Wang Muhan to go over and ask questions.

Seeing Chu Shaoling, Wang Muhan first sighed. This old man was given to Chu Shaoling by Empress Ling. He grew up with him, and Chu Shaoling was quite patient with this old man, and persuaded: "Don't worry, father-in-law, am I right?" Are you back well?"

Wang Muhan wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said, "They are all useless old slaves, they can't follow His Highness to serve His Highness...Fortunately, there is Lord Wei, so the old slaves can rest assured."

These words came to Chu Shaoling's heart at once, and Chu Shaoling said with a smile: "With him, you can rest assured?"

Wang Muhan nodded: "This old slave has been looking at people for a lifetime, and I can tell who is loyal and who hides and rapes this old slave at a glance. Otherwise, the empress and empress couldn't have given this old slave to His Highness, Mr. Wei... His respect for His Highness There is not much to say about loyalty, as long as he is still there, His Highness will not be hurt."

Chu Shaoling was stunned for a moment, then laughed hoarsely and said, "Elder-in-law really has sharp eyes."

"I was about to tell you about Wei Ji, and he just happened not to be here." Chu Shaoling retreated from the crowd and told Wang Muhan one by one of his plan, and said in a cold voice, "This plan...what does Eunuch think?"

Wang Muhan's legs went limp after hearing Chu Shaoling's words, is his highness about to turn the world upside down? !This matter... is truly unprecedented...

Chu Shaoling said seriously: "I didn't mention this to the second person, and Wei Ji didn't know. I believed in my father-in-law so I didn't hide it. My father-in-law always wants to take care of me for my mother. Now this is my life. The biggest thing is, I have no choice but to discuss it with my father-in-law because I can't ask my mother about it."

Wang Muhan's eyes instantly turned red when he heard the words, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "I can't afford this old servant! I can't afford this old servant! The empress empress has shown great kindness to this old servant, and this old servant should do everything for His Highness."

Chu Shaoling sighed: "Elder-in-law, get up first, and tell me how I planned this matter? Is there any omission?"

Wang Muhan carefully thought about what Chu Shaoling said just now: "According to His Highness's plan... three years later, this matter can be done, but... Your Highness really doesn't need to be like this. After the concubine concubine gives birth to a son... leave the mother and keep the son, and when the time comes, His Highness will have successors, and it will not prevent His Highness from doting on Sir Wei alone."

Chu Shaoling shook his head: "I thought about this three years ago, but when I think about it later, there are many hidden dangers. The first thing is that I promised Wei Ji a couple for life, and I will not break my promise to Wei Ji. ... It's easy to leave the mother and keep the son, but I can't go with my natal family? How will the surname's family treat Wei Ji in the future? They will think that Wei Ji is the murderer who killed their daughter. I have nothing to set up for him What did the enemy do?!"

"Also, I can't hide this matter from my son. How will he treat Wei Ji when he grows up in the future? He may not hate me, but he will definitely hate Wei Ji!" Chu Shaoling has long since grown up in this palace. He would never allow any hidden dangers that might threaten the Wei Ji, "Of course I can protect the Wei Ji while I am alive, but what about a hundred years later? When the new emperor succeeds, the Wei family will be the first to be cleaned up! "

Wang Muhan was dumbfounded, he never expected that Chu Shaoling had planned everything that would happen a hundred years later, Chu Shaoling said indifferently: "So... I must never stay behind, even the future prince must be handed over to Wei Ji to raise him from an early age , when the time comes, the father will be kind and the son will be filial, so that we can truly protect Wei Ji's honor and dignity both before and after his life."

"Besides... If I marry a woman and come back, and after she gives birth to a child, I will forget about others, so what is the difference from the emperor... My mother's hardships back then, I don't need to let others experience it."

Chu Shaoling's analysis made sense, Wang Muhan couldn't argue, so he just nodded and said: "Old slave...Understood, I will definitely make arrangements according to what His Highness said, and only hope that His Highness can get what he wants in the future."

Chu Shaoling smiled arrogantly: "That's natural."

Before the expedition, the emperor in the Taimiao had cursed Chu Shaoling, cursing that Chu Shaoling, like him and his ancestors, would become a lonely family.

After a hundred years, Chu Shaoling will lie down in the imperial mausoleum with Wei Ji, and take Wei Ji together to show the emperor under Jiuquan, let the ancestors see, he will never, never be alone.
