The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Ji Heng no longer took medicine, but let his body adjust itself. Although his health was poor, it was not to the point where he would die if he said he would die.

In the palace, there will be a fast horse coming to Xishan in a few days to inquire about Ji Heng's health. The emperor is busy with court affairs, although he also wants to go out to escape the summer heat, it is best to come to Xishan Palace, so that Ji Heng can be taken to the side, and the day Seeing each other in the daytime, we can be together, but he just took office not long ago, he felt that he should not leave the stain of negligence, so he diligently handled political affairs and went to school in the palace.

Besides, because the imperial palace is on the high ground in the north, it is already much cooler than other places in the capital.

Every three days of the morning court, he would get out of the way, never missing, and if any minister did not arrive, he would personally ask, which made it difficult for the ministers to ask for leave and not go to the morning court.

In March of this year, the emperor appointed a concubine daughter of the Xu family, the 16-year-old Xu Liu as a nobleman, and a daughter of the Shao family, Shao Zhilan as a concubine. Both of them are famous beauties in Beijing. The emperor was at his right age, but he was not obsessed with beauty, nor was he greedy for playfulness. He was devoted to government affairs, and he was meticulous and deep-minded, and he had some tricks, which made the courtiers tremble and dare not confront the majesty of the emperor.

A while ago, two editors of the Imperial Academy went so far as to write a letter saying that the emperor didn't pay much attention to the harem because he was unfilial and that he had to hurry up to breed children.

In the early court, because it was a three-day court, the two editors who wrote the letter were naturally not eligible to participate in the court meeting. The emperor directly asked the personal eunuch to take down the two papers, and let the first assistant Wenge standing in front The old man and the second assistant, Xiao Ge, each took a letter and read it aloud to everyone.

Although it is not a big deal for the emperor to let the elders read the scriptures, reading this kind of scriptures really made the two elders feel that they were overqualified, and they were naturally unhappy.

The courtiers below listened, and some of them knew very well: If the emperor is beautiful, he will definitely be scolded by the officials, and if he is not beautiful, he will still be scolded. The emperor's attitude is firm, so no one really dares to pull the tiger's whiskers on the emperor's face. If the emperor is cowardly and can be bullied, the courtiers have their own plans, and they must start to plot against the emperor and seek personal gain; some of them did not think about it. There are so many, I just think who wrote the book, looking for trouble for nothing; the other part is naturally waiting to see a good show...

The emperor saw that the two elders had finished reading, so he directly asked Elder Wen, "I don't know how Master Wen thinks this matter should be handled."

Master Wen came out and stood there, humming several times, but didn't come up with a reason, the emperor is still young, it is obviously not a good thing to plant seeds and have children in the harem all day long, but who in the world instructed these two people? This guy is not even an official, but an editor who came to write this kind of book.

The emperor asked him what to do, and no matter what he said, others could find fault.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give an example, saying that the previous emperor had a son at the age of 31, but then he got out of control and gave birth to eight princes in a row. So and so, the emperor is still young now , and there is no need to worry too much about the heirs, the prince will come when it is time.

He is a meek person, and his words were actually intended to plead for the two editors.

But the emperor refused to let go, and asked Elder Xiao Ge, "What do you think, Mr. Xiao?"

The emperor's attitude of smiling or not has made Mr. Xiao Ge stand on fire. He used to follow Mr. Li Ge, and everyone knew that he was Mr. Li's personal. After Mr. Li stepped down, although the emperor still appointed Mr. He, but his life is also very difficult.

Elder Xiao Ge said, "What Master Wen said is absolutely true."

So the emperor got angry directly and unhurriedly, saying, I have just been in power, and the courtiers don't want to help him govern the world. He is still young and has no old achievements. Immediately give birth to an heir to take over his class, if anyone makes a fuss about this matter, it will be the end of the two people who wrote the letter.

Because these two people were to be used as an example to others, the two were directly deprived of their Jinshi background, and after each hit [-] boards, they were sent to Guizhou.

Wen Ge Lao wanted to intercede at first, but was directly rejected by the emperor. The emperor was on the throne, so calm and he couldn't even see that he was angry, but he just judged the life and death of the two ministers lightly and skillfully. The courtiers were shocked.

If he acted in a rage, some people would think that the emperor is still a child, unable to control his temper, they can watch him, but the emperor has no expression on his face, so people don't know what he is thinking, so he will deal with him And he didn't ask anyone to intercede. As soon as this matter happened, the ministers knew that he was not easy to mess with, so they were quiet for a while.

The year before the emperor's wedding, all the vassals had to go to Beijing to congratulate them. According to statistics, there were 21 vassals in total among the emperor's clansmen. Except for a few who were sick or too old, they didn't come to his wedding. Except for the son or grandson, everyone else came.

The main reason for arriving so well was King Wu's rebellion, which was quickly suppressed, and then King Wu died tragically with no bones left, which had a deterrent effect on all the vassal kings.

Some vassal kings still looked down on the emperor in their hearts, but now they have to face it squarely. No matter what ideas are in their hearts, the emperor's wedding is a face-saving job, and everyone has done it first.

Ji Heng analyzed the emperor. After the clansmen were divided into fiefdoms, it would be much more difficult for these people to seize power. After King Wu's rebellion was suppressed, the vassal kings who were about to move were also reevaluating themselves.

If these vassal kings want to rebel, they will naturally be the emperor's thorn in the heart, and if they support the emperor, they will naturally be a great help.

When the emperor was in the palace, he actually had no relatives around him. The courtiers were too powerful, and the emperor was likely to be isolated and helpless.

Therefore, Ji Heng suggested that the emperor could properly select the heirs of the vassal princes to stay in the capital, one is to serve as hostages, and the other is to use the power of his own clan to fight against the courtiers, which is feasible for the time being.

The emperor didn't adopt Ji Heng's suggestion. He was still afraid of being seized power, but he still kept a few heirs of distant and weak vassal kings in Beijing, and often called them into the palace to speak. After all, these were real relatives. There is still more to say than outsiders.

On the tenth day of the eighth month, it was already getting cold in Beijing, and it was the season when sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums were blooming. The palace people also changed into autumn clothes, and the summer screens were also replaced with thick, airtight window paper.

The emperor sat in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall and listened to Mr. Tang's lecture. He was accompanied by Yang Fengjun, the youngest son of King Minnan, and Yang Qinan, the son of King Qi.

After the class was over, several students respectfully sent Mr. Tang away, at this time Liu Sheng went to the emperor and whispered to him, "Young Master Ji has returned to the capital and entered the palace, and now he is waiting at the gate of the main hall. "

When the emperor heard this, he frowned, "Didn't it mean that he was in poor health? Why did you let him wait at the gate of the main hall instead of letting him go in and sit down?"

Liu Sheng said in embarrassment, "Master Ji himself said that he didn't want to go beyond the rules."

The emperor's heart had already flown to Ji Heng, so he said to his cousin and nephew who were here with him, "I'm leaving first, you play for a while by yourself, and have dinner together later."

The two didn't have much to say, so they respectfully sent the emperor away.

The emperor was like a gust of wind. Although his movements were safe enough, he blew swiftly and disappeared without a trace.

Yang Fengjun said, "Who is asking for an audience? The emperor is so anxious."

Yang Qin said, "I heard a little bit just now, and it seems that the one from Ji's family is back."

Yang Fengjun gave a meaningful oh, Yang Qinyan already has, his mind is very mature, he is not as reckless as Yang Fengjun, he has had some contact with Ji Heng, it can be seen that the emperor really likes this beautiful boy very much, but this However, the boy did not have that kind of relationship with the emperor as rumored by the outside world. He was even too calm and smart. The emperor seemed to turn to him for many opinions. It was just that the boy was in poor health and seemed to be recuperating from illness all the time.

Yang Qin'an couldn't help but think of the word Huiji must be hurt, and Ji Heng gave him the feeling that beauties always live shortly.

Yang Qin'an didn't remind Yang Fengjun that he should pay more attention to and respect Ji Heng, but just changed the subject and talked about other things.

The emperor soon arrived at the gate of the main hall, and saw Ji Heng standing at the gate respectfully. The longing accumulated these days was only slowly tormenting in the emperor's heart, but at this time, it suddenly erupted violently. He walked forward quickly, almost wanting to hug Ji Heng and wrap him in his own softness, but he could only hold back, just supported his shoulders, and stared at him with burning eyes , "Is your body better? It can be regarded as coming back, why don't you go in and wait, stand here, what if you faint again."

Ji Heng is still in poor health, but he won't faint after standing for a while. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm back. I arrived yesterday afternoon. I thought you were busy in the morning, so I'll see you later. You."

The emperor held his hand, almost unwilling to turn his eyes away from his face. Ji Heng became thinner due to illness, and his eyes only appeared bigger. The two black eyelashes, with a slight trembling, could be seen in the emperor's eyes. A hurricane fanned out from the apex of my heart.

He smiled, looked at him with burning eyes, and pulled him into the hall.

Sitting down on the couch in the warm pavilion, he almost wanted to hold Ji Heng's body, and asked, "Why have you recuperated for so long this time? I'm really worried about you. What's the matter with you? The imperial doctor came back to see you , you are a weak disease brought from the mother's womb, and you have cold, poison and fever coexisting in your body, and you can't get better for a while. In the past, I didn't see how you were, so why have you been sick for the past two years?"

Liu Sheng personally brought ginseng tea in, and the palace attendant brought some refreshments before leaving.

Ji Heng drank the tea before slowly answering, "It's just that I was born with a congenital deficiency, and it's just flared up in the past two years. After this time, it will be fine. Your Majesty, don't worry."

The emperor hadn't seen Ji Heng for several months, and his heart ached from thinking about it. He was very upset when he heard Ji Heng's understatement. He put the cup in Ji Heng's hand on the small table, and held out his hand He stared at his face carefully, looking away from his face, he longed to kiss him and hug him, but he knew he couldn't, he had mixed feelings in his heart, complicated and unspeakable, and finally he just said, "I've been worried about you Ah, if something happens to you, I will be very sad."

Knowing that what he said was true, Ji Heng said: "Your Majesty, I understand, so I have been recuperating well, just wanting to come back to see you soon."

The emperor smiled, "If you wanted to come back to see me sooner, would you come back to Beijing now? It's already cold. You really have no conscience. If you don't even think about it, I will miss you."

Ji Heng always knew that the emperor had a set of tricks when he said nasty things, but now he still couldn't bear the intimacy of the emperor, so he coughed lightly, broke free from the emperor's restraint, and said, "My minister is outside After standing for a long time, I am very thirsty."

The emperor hurriedly gave him the tea again, seeing that the water was getting colder, he took his own cup and gave it to Ji Heng to drink.

The emperor didn't want to discuss political affairs with Ji Heng. He thought it would make Ji Heng think about it, and Ji Heng's health would be poor again, so he took out the letter Ji Heng wrote to himself, and each letter had a letter drawn on the back The strokes, which often make the emperor happy to see them, are treasured as peerless treasures.

The emperor held a piece of paper and showed it to Ji Heng, "I really don't understand what is on this piece of paper."

When Ji Heng saw it, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable, and said, "There are a lot of birds on the West Mountain. I often take a nap, and there may be bird droppings on my clothes. This is a letter to you. I don't have the time to wear it. I was pulled by a bird, and I wiped it with a towel and didn't wipe it clean."

The emperor was stunned for a moment. It is a sinful thing for others to do this. When Ji Heng said this, he laughed happily when he heard it, and said, "I thought it was another picture?"

Ji Heng also laughed, "There is no picture in this one."

The emperor put his arms around Ji Heng and almost pressed his mouth to his face, but Ji Heng avoided it uncomfortably.

The emperor noticed his resistance and had to let him go without leaving a trace.
