Qing Jialu

A month passed, and the emperor still did not show his face.This made the ministers of the DPRK and China extremely worried, and it also made people with ulterior motives speculative.Shen Jia was struggling alone outside, being criticized and questioned, but unable to defend herself.When Shen Jia could hardly hold on, Xiao Yi agreed to let Han Chang face the saint.

Naturally, Han Chang's going to Xiyuan could not be known by other courtiers. He came late at night, led by Eunuch Chen, passed through the defense of Jinyiwei, and arrived in front of Yuxi Palace.

Just when he lamented that he had submitted countless memorials and was finally able to see His Majesty, Shen Jia came out from the hall.

Sure enough, people are more popular than others, and it is clear at a glance who is close and who is distant.

"Han Ge is getting old." Shen Jia seemed very happy to see him, and didn't hold any grudges because Han Chang scolded him.

Han Chang's face darkened, and he said with a half-smile, "Shen Ge has worked hard, and he is still in the palace at such a late hour."

The implication is that it is against the rules for foreign ministers to stay overnight in the palace without being summoned.

But Shen Jia said: "Your Majesty has orders, I dare not disobey."

It turned out that Shen Jia had His Majesty's imperial edict, Han Chang was taken aback, "How is Your Majesty?"

"Han Ge will know when he goes in." Shen Jia looked at him with a smile, and made a gesture of "please come in".

Han Chang took a deep breath, adjusted the officer's hat outside the door, and then walked into Yuxi Palace with Shen Jia.

Before coming to Xiyuan, Han Chang imagined countless possibilities, maybe His Majesty is unconscious, maybe His Majesty is dying, maybe he has already passed away... But he never expected that His Majesty would sit behind the court case in good spirits, It seems that there is no disease at all.

"Chen Han Chang greets His Majesty." Han Chang was taken aback for a moment before remembering to salute.

"Excuse me." Xiao Yi affectionately called Han Chang's name, "Sit down quickly."

Han Chang and Shen Jia sat down together. He heard His Majesty's loud voice, and he didn't look like someone who had been ill for a long time.

What's the situation, isn't His Majesty sick and playing courtiers on purpose?

"Mianzhi has worked hard recently." The emperor said to Han Chang with a smile.

"Your Majesty..." Han Chang didn't dare to say the word "pretend to be sick" directly, he hesitated for a long time before he could say, "Is Sheng Gong safe?"

"However, there are occasional minor ailments, so don't worry." Xiao Yi said casually.

So is this the reason to stop the court in January?Han Chang's mood suddenly turned from worry to anger, but he was not Shen Jia, so he wouldn't speak so bluntly.

So Han Chang asked euphemistically: "The courtiers haven't seen Long Yan for many days, and they are worried. I don't know when His Majesty will come to court?"

"Probably wait until the end of the year."

Han Chang's eyes darkened, wouldn't it take another month?

As a result, the emperor hadn't finished speaking, only to hear Xiao Yi say again: "After the new year, let's see."

The relationship lasted more than a month... Han Chang suddenly felt that the future was dim.

"Your Majesty, this... is not good." Han Chang didn't bother to be euphemistic, and asked directly, "There is a grand ceremony during the Chinese New Year, and you have to worship the heavens and ancestors. Does Your Majesty not show up?"

"I plan to let King Su practice and practice, and sacrifice to heaven on my behalf."

Since King Su was the shield, Xiao Yi felt that he could finally escape from the red tape.

"Yes." Han Chang sighed secretly, not knowing what to say anymore.

"Mianzhi, I called you here because I hope you can cooperate with Changqing." Xiao Yi finally got to the point, "I have seen many courtiers impeach Changqing. Although the content of the impeachment is similar, I know that some people have ulterior motives. .”

Han Chang was also one of the members who impeached Shen Jia, but after this night, he realized that he had misunderstood Shen Jia.

"Chen... I was deceived by others, I'm sorry, Mr. Shen Ge." Han Chang turned to Shen Jia, and slightly cupped his hands at him.

Shen Jia shook her head, saying that it doesn't matter.

Xiao Yi watched their interaction and smiled, "Mianzhi, I know you are loyal, unlike some people who impeach Changqing in the name of caring for me, but are actually obstructing the New Deal."

Han Chang understood immediately, and immediately answered, "Your Majesty wants me to find out these people who fish in troubled waters?"

"Exactly." Xiao Yi nodded, "The New Deal cannot be abandoned halfway. Han Chang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I can't preside over the overall situation during this period. You and Changqing must continue to carry out the 'examination into a book'."

"I obey the order." Han Chang thought, is this the reason why the emperor "faked sick"?

"Thanks for your hard work, you can step back." After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he gestured to Shen Jia with his eyes, and pushed himself in.

"Resignation." Han Chang got up and was about to leave, but he saw Shen Jia walking towards the imperial case, standing behind the emperor, pushing the majesty down to the sleeping hall from behind.

It was only later that Han Chang discovered that His Majesty was not sitting in an ordinary chair, but a wooden wheelchair.

Of course, Xiao Yi and Shen Jia didn't want to hide it from him this time, they only blamed the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the palace, Han Chang didn't see the difference between a wheelchair and a wooden chair for a while.

It turned out that I wasn't pretending to be sick. I didn't expect the disease to be on my leg.Han Chang walked on the small road in Xiyuan in a daze, completely dazed.I don't know if His Majesty can't walk for a while, or if he can't walk for a lifetime.

But Han Chang was smart after all, he was confused for a while, and then he figured it out when he got home.His Majesty said that he would not be able to go to court until the end of the New Year, it seems that it is temporarily inconvenient to move.It is said that the muscles and bones have been injured for a hundred days, and it is very likely that His Majesty fell and broke his leg.

Han Chang thought about it for a while, and finally felt relieved.It seems that His Majesty's condition is not serious, so I should do the tasks assigned by His Majesty first.

After dealing with Han Chang's side and King Su's side, Xiao Yi asked Eunuch Chen to bring him over, planning to meet him.

"The time has finally come." Shen Jia was anxious for King Su, and now he was finally relieved, "Your Majesty, if you don't see him again, he will be so nervous."

"Why are you nervous, he's still so timid." Xiao Yi had a headache, "To be honest, I'm really worried about whether my fourth brother can attend the grand ceremony for me."

In fact, Shen Jia was also worried, for an introverted person to pay homage to heaven and earth and accept court congratulations in full view of the public, without making any mistakes in terms of etiquette, and he had to speak a few words in public.Su Wang is so young, I don't know if he can finish it smoothly.

"We can only let the Ministry of Rites teach him with all our heart, let's practice a few more times." Shen Jia said.

Xiao Yi sighed, "No way, who made him come from the royal family. If you don't exercise now, I won't be around anymore..."

"Twilight!" Shen Jia reached out and covered Xiao Yi's mouth, "Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about, it's unlucky."

Xiao Yi grabbed Shen Jia's hand, moved it away and said, "There will be such a day sooner or later."

"It's still early. By then, King Su will be an adult, and he will definitely not be as timid as he is now."

Xiao Yi's expression was gloomy, thinking that he might not be able to survive King Su's adulthood.

But facing Shen Jia, Xiao Yi didn't want him to hurt himself, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Okay, I won't say anything, I didn't expect you to be more taboo than me."

Not long after, Eunuch Chen led King Su into the palace. He was depressed and scared during this time, and he was too nervous to go in in front of Yuxi Palace.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you." Eunuch Chen said softly.

So Xiao Ling didn't dare to delay, he lowered his head and entered the inner hall, knelt down to salute in a proper manner.

"Fourth brother, no courtesy, come to me." Xiao Yi leaned on the bed and said gently to King Su.

Only then did Xiao Ling dare to raise his head, and was surprised to find that his brother was still in good spirits.

"King Su, come quickly." Shen Jia also waved to King Su, encouraging him not to be afraid.

Seeing that Bachelor Shen, who was giving lectures to him every day, was also there, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly got up and moved to the imperial couch.

"Is the fourth brother used to living in Xiyuan?" Xiao Yi didn't directly mention the matter of asking King Su to sacrifice to heaven, fearing to startle him.

"My younger brother... My younger brother is used to it." Xiao Ling bowed his head and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone knew it was a lie.Let him leave his mother and concubine for half a month and stay alone in a strange palace. It's strange that he can live there.

"It's hard for you. When I recover, I will send you back to the palace." Xiao Yi said.He forced King Su to stay here, because he was afraid that someone with malicious intentions would murder the prince while he was ill.

"Yes." Xiao Ling's eyes lit up when he heard that he could return to the palace.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to recover until the end of the New Year." Xiao Yi said again, "Fourth brother, are you willing to share my worries?"

Shen Jia was listening to Xiao Yi's step-by-step guidance to his younger brother, and almost laughed out loud.

Only then did Xiao Ling carefully look at his brother's face, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a seriously ill person.But he didn't dare to question the emperor, so he had no choice but to say: "My brother is willing."

"Yeah." Xiao Yi's goal was achieved, and he smiled and said, "You will preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven during the Chinese New Year."

Sure enough, Xiao Ling's face changed suddenly. He looked at his brother in fear, his face flushed red, and he wanted to refuse but couldn't speak.

Seeing his students like this, Shen Jia immediately felt distressed. He comforted him: "Don't be afraid, there will be officials from the Ministry of Rites to guide you. Your Highness only needs to follow the officials from the Ministry of Rites and study hard."

"...Yes." What could Xiao Ling do, he could only willingly jump into the big hole his brother dug for him.

"Okay, okay, let Eunuch Chen take you back." Xiao Yi stopped teasing his younger brother, looking at his appearance, he really looked like a mimosa plant, afraid that the more he teased, the more he would shrink back.

"My brother, leave." Finally he could leave, Xiao Ling heaved a sigh of relief, and ran away like a little rabbit.

Seeing Xiao Ling leave, Xiao Yi joked, "Look at your students. Ordinary people see that I'm sick, and they always have a word or two to care about. Fortunately, he didn't ask a single word."

"You know he's not good at words, but you still expect him to flatter you?" Shen Jia defended her student, "Besides, he always asks me about your illness in private, and he cares about you."

It's just that this kind of concern is hidden in the bottom of my heart, instead of showing it outside and letting the emperor know.

How rare is such a pure person.
