Chronicle of Emperor Jing

Chapter 118: Buying Bones With Gold

"My emperor is safe!" After Tian Taiyi came in, he respectfully saluted the emperor.

"Aiqing is flat, and I will give you a seat." Jing Li ordered calmly.

Gao Yong responded, and signaled to the waiter to fetch a soft pier and place it in front of the emperor.He himself did it himself, placed a small jade pillow under the emperor's wrist, and rolled up a small part of the sleeve for the emperor to make it easier for the imperial doctor Tian to feel the pulse.

Doctor Tian confessed to the emperor, sat down on the soft pier, calmed down, and asked the emperor for a peace pulse.

After a while, the emperor's side was over, and Gao Yong asked people to move the soft pier and jade pillow to Yongninghou's side, draw a gourd in the same way, and asked Tian Taiyi to give Yongninghou his pulse before he was sent to Yongninghou. pen and ink.

Doctor Tian sat by the side alone and wrote the medical records. He finished writing two medical records, held them in person, and presented them to the emperor.

Ever since Imperial Physician Tian gave the emperor his pulse, Wei Yan has been staring at Imperial Physician Tian with a blank expression on his face.There was nothing wrong with Wei Yan's expression, nor was there anything wrong with his eyes, but he just couldn't help it, and kept staring at Imperial Physician Tian, ​​as if a flower had suddenly grown on Imperial Physician Tian's face.

However, Imperial Physician Tian's Qi-nourishing skills are very exquisite, and Wei Yan can feel that during the whole process of Imperial Physician Tian taking the emperor's pulse, not to mention facial expressions or movements, even the rhythm of breathing was never disturbed.

As a result, the more Wei Yan looked at it, the more uncertain he felt.

The emperor said that he was not in poor health, but that he was not good, so now he has to "cultivate his body and cultivate his character", the emperor said so, but is it possible that he is lying to him?Could it be that the emperor was seriously ill, and because he was afraid that he would be worried, he kept it from him, and found such a reason to trick him?

Ever since the emperor said that, Wei Yan has been worrying in his heart, but he can't ask anyone about it, let alone show any strangeness, otherwise people will realize that something is wrong with the emperor's body, and there will be troubles .

Even if Imperial Physician Tian is asking the emperor for a pulse for peace, he can't ask.

The emperor's physical condition is the highest secret in the palace. Except for the emperor and Tian imperial physicians, even the empress dowager would not know about it. Usually, when the empress dowager intervenes in this matter, it is the time when the emperor is inappropriate.After the emperor reads these medical records, they will all be sealed up, and no one can look them up without the emperor's will.

Wei Yan couldn't ask about this matter, nor should he ask. Even if he was worried, he could only worry in his heart and never express it.

First, Jing Li finished reading the two medical records submitted by Tian imperial physician, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Your Majesty, leave." Imperial Physician Tian quickly bowed out and left.

Jing Li put Wei Yan's medical case aside, picked up his own, and folded it.He folded it twice, raised his head, and saw Wei Yan looking at him eagerly.

"There are no outsiders now, come here." He nodded to signal Wei Yan to come to him.

When Wei Yan came close, he held Wei Yan's hand, pulled Wei Yan into his arms, and then unfolded the medical case in his hand for him to read carefully.

"Your Majesty, this is not what I should read." Wei Yan wanted to read it, but realized that he shouldn't. His whole body was awkward, his body was stiff, and his eyes never dared to fall on the page.

"I won't show it to you. You're so worried that you can hardly sleep. In a few days, something will happen. Well, take a closer look. I'm in good health and nothing happened. Don't worry anymore." Jing Li She hugged him and said softly.

When Wei Yan didn't want to think too much, he really didn't think about anything, so that Wei Yan was willing to believe whatever he said.But once Wei Yan thinks about it more, he will think of serious things and worry about some inexplicable things. Now, Wei Yan is obviously thinking about it and worrying blindly again.

Hearing what the emperor said, Wei Yan took a closer look at the medical record, and found that everything was recorded on it as usual, and there was really nothing wrong.

"It's good that your Majesty is fine." After reading the medical case, Wei Yan finally felt at ease. Then he suddenly thought of something wrong and asked, "Your Majesty is not lying to me about that?"

The emperor was clearly in good health, so how could he suddenly fail?And in this medical case, it didn't say that the emperor was dying!

"Is Ai Qing stupid? How could I lie to you with such a thing! Besides, this kind of thing must not be put into words, otherwise, once it is spread, wouldn't I be a laughing stock in the history?" Jing Li's voice was suppressed. A little low, but full of momentum, very confidently asked back.

How can a man casually say that he is not good enough, let alone let people know that he is not good enough? Ordinary men are so concerned about this issue, not to mention that he is an emperor, would he talk nonsense?

Wei Yan felt that he seemed to be stupid. Even if the emperor wanted to lie to him, he should not be able to deceive others with such a thing.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Jing Li folded the medical case again. He folded the paper in [-] to [-], and quickly folded it into a delicate flower pattern. This folding method was unwrapped It is very difficult to restore the original, if someone has moved it, it can be easily seen.

After he finished folding, Gao Yongcai came over with the envelope wax and other things, sealed the page of paper in the envelope with wax, put it in a secret box, and sent it to the specially guarded warehouse.When there is nothing wrong, these medical records of the emperor will not be opened again. Once something happens, these things are archived for investigation.

Of course, the truly confidential things, as the emperor said just now, will not be written down at all, even if you want to check, there is no way to find out.

Gao Yong went out with the secret box in his hand, and soon, a court lady brought tea. The monarch and his ministers sat on the couch in the living room, drank tea, and looked at Wei Yan's doctor by the way. case.

There is nothing wrong with Wei Yan's medical records. Finally, he no longer needs to drink the soup and medicine, but he still has to eat the medicinal food that should be eaten. The medicinal food is actually for his health. It is purely for fun, and he has to eat it whether he is sick or not .

Jing Li glanced at the medical case, then at Wei Yan, and couldn't help but move his index finger.

He had restrained himself on the couch for a long time, and he naturally felt that he couldn't enjoy himself enough, now that Imperial Physician Tian finally announced that Wei Yan was fine, so he didn't have to restrain himself like this anymore.

But he just talked nonsense to Wei Yan, and now the matter is not over, he immediately acted indulgently, no matter how stupid Wei Yan is, he will know that he has been deceived, and I am afraid that he will have other opinions on this matter, so he He decided to continue to endure for a few more days, and when this matter came to fruition, he would have a hearty meal.

Wei Yan felt chills down his back when he was stared at by the emperor, but the emperor quickly averted his eyes and drank his tea intently. The mysterious feeling flashed in his heart and disappeared soon. up.

After drinking the cup of tea, they went in to continue reviewing the memorial.

"Your Majesty, why don't you tell the queen mother the truth." Wei Yan said suddenly after helping the emperor grind his ink for a while.

Doctor Tian's visit reminded him that the Queen Mother was still ill.The emperor wanted to dismiss the harem, but made the queen mother fall ill, which made Wei Yan a little uneasy.

In Wei Yan's opinion, as long as the emperor told the truth to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager felt sorry for the emperor's body and pityed those women in the harem, she would not be so angry with the emperor.

The nonsense that Jing Li said just deceived Wei Yan, an idiot who has been deceived many times by him, but is still willing to believe his nonsense every time. The Queen Mother exposed it.

However, he definitely couldn't say this to Wei Yan, so he frowned and said in a very embarrassed tone: "Even if it is the Queen Mother, I can't say it, it is you, I can say it." .”

"Your Majesty..." Wei Yan found out that this is the truth, that is, the emperor trusts him, so he will tell him, but the queen mother can't ignore it. He looked at the emperor, and after a while, he said, "Then go down Look at the queen."

"The queen mother treats you like this, are you not angry with her?" Jing Li knew that Wei Yan would say this sooner or later, but the queen mother had only been ill for one day, and the second day was not yet full. Wei Yan just said that, or It surprised him a little.

"The Empress Dowager is His Majesty's mother." Wei Yan must have blamed the Empress Dowager that day, but things have changed, and the Empress Dowager is still the Emperor's mother. Since he decided to stay by the Emperor's side, he really didn't want the Emperor to make things difficult for him.

The emperor worried about government affairs every day, it was hard enough, he couldn't be so ignorant and let the emperor worry about these trivial matters.

"You!" Jing Li closed the memorial, rubbed his eyes, and said to Wei Yan, "It hurts my eyes, please help me read the memorial."

"Yes." Wei Yan took the top one from the fold on the left hand side, opened it, and began to read. After reading a few words, he recalled what happened just now, "Your Majesty, when will you go?" To visit the Queen Mother?"

"Wait for two days. The Queen Mother is angry now. If I go, the Queen Mother will only be even more angry, which is not conducive to her recovery. After two days, the Queen Mother's anger subsides, and I will go again." Jing Lijian failed to transfer His attention was all he could promise.

Sickness and non-sickness in the palace, when to visit the sick, when to recover from illness, and every action, are all particular.

Even if he doesn't visit, the Queen Mother will definitely recover when she recovers from her illness.But he went to visit at an inappropriate time, and the queen mother might become even more ill.

But this is the battle between him and the Queen Mother, Jing Li doesn't want to talk too much, if Wei Yan doesn't understand it, he doesn't understand it, there is no need to elaborate on it, lest Wei Yan worry about those things.

Since Wei Yan wants him to visit the Queen Mother, he should go and have a look when he has time. Anyway, he will soon find a breakthrough, and it won't take long for this matter to proceed smoothly.Even if it is the Queen Mother, it is impossible to stop him from doing this.

Now that the emperor said so, Wei Yan stopped talking and obediently read the scriptures for the emperor.

Jing Li leaned on the couch, half embraced him in his arms, listened to him read a few paragraphs, and would comment on a few words, sometimes about mountains and rivers, sometimes about humanities, sometimes about officialdom factions, and so on. Wei Yan is going to take an exam, do you remember his comments?

Wei Yan put all his attention on the notebook, trying to keep up with the emperor's thoughts, and soon he had no time to think about other things.

In the past few days, the emperor's number one confidant, the manager Gao Yonggao, has been coming and going in the harem, visiting the sick concubines in the harem for the emperor.In the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Ning, there are people going to visit, so he doesn't need to worry about it, what he needs to worry about is the women in the East and West Zodiac Palaces.

However, he ran around, and every time he got rejected, the ladies claimed one by one that they were ill, and they didn't want to let the emperor get sick, and refused to see him. He socializes.

After running like this for two or three days, in the evening of this day, he came to Zhongcui Palace to visit, and was suddenly received by Li Zhaoyi, who was the head of Zhongcui Palace.

"Is Li Zhaoyi's illness better? Your Majesty is concerned about Li Zhaoyi's health, and specially ordered this old servant to come and visit." Gao Yong entered the palace gate and asked about Li Zhaoyi's condition with concern.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, my concubine is already much better. Please, Mr. Gao, thank you for your majesty's care on behalf of my concubine after I go back." Li Zhaoyi wore a homely old clothes, and a plain forehead was tied on her forehead, indicating that she was " "Sick", she stood up first, said a few polite words to Gao Yong about the emperor's concern, thanked the emperor for his concern, then sat down again, and said, "Director Gao is a rare visitor, please take a seat, Xiaomei, and serve tea to Director Gao .”

"Li Zhaoyi is so polite, it's disgusting to the old slave." Gao Yong read out the medicinal materials and other things rewarded by the emperor before pleading guilty. He carefully sat on the soft pier, and Li Zhaoyi started a routine with Li Zhaoyi. The two commented. The idyllic atmosphere outside the city, aftertaste for a while on the fashionable cakes and eats on Yongxing Street, and finally Gao Yong asked about Li Zhaoyi's family with concern.

Just chattering here and there, chattering a lot, after drinking a cup of tea, Gao Yongcai took his leave and left.

After he left, Li Zhaoyi sat for a while with a blank expression on his face, and then ordered: "Xiaomei, take care of your pen and ink."

"Your Majesty, are we really going to do this? Your Majesty said so, but if the ladies are unwilling to leave the palace, I'm afraid His Majesty can just let it go. No matter what, His Majesty can't just throw us out of the palace right away." ?" Xiaomei knew what Li Zhaoyi was going to do, she stood there without moving, but instead tried to persuade her.

"I don't know if His Majesty will just throw people out. I only know that His Majesty wants a thousand dollars to buy horse bones. The first one to stand up will get more. If it's too late, I'm afraid there won't be so many." Li Zhaoyi It was the first year of Tianxi, when the emperor entered the palace when he was married. She has been in the palace for more than ten years, and she understands everything that should be understood.

The emperor made this decree, even if someone wants to take this opportunity to leave the palace, due to the objection of the empress dowager, the high-ranking concubines are not willing, and there are very few courtiers who agree with this decree, no one is willing to do this. People dare to move, so the emperor sent Director Gao to the palaces to be lobbyists.

None of the concubines are willing to see Mr. Gao, which is to show their attitude of not wanting to leave the palace. However, her thoughts are different from others. Beloved, even if the emperor thinks of visiting the harem someday, most of the concubines in the harem are old people. I am afraid that the emperor will not have this interest when he looks at them.

The emperor's vow never to accept a concubine was originally made by the empress. Later, the empress had a deep affection on the surface, but all kinds of quarrels in private, all the discerning people in the palace knew it well. Now that the empress has passed away, even if the emperor still has old feelings in his heart , the dead have to give way to the living, not to mention the emperor's heart is hard to say whether it is love or hatred.

Now that the love has faded, this oath is superfluous. The emperor wants to overthrow it. As long as they don't leave, they will get their turn. It can only be said that they are too naive.

Some truths are actually very simple, but people who are in it can't see clearly if they cover their eyes with a leaf.

The emperor has someone he likes, so the grace, rain and dew will naturally be close to the person he likes, and no one else can take his turn.The emperor has no love and only wants to have fun, so he will naturally replace the old colors with fresh colors, and the old people like them will stand aside.

Those who have heirs and favours, can still compete with the newcomers. Those who have no heirs and no favours, like her, will probably give way to the newcomers.

There are only so many positions in the palace, only when someone falls can someone rise.Even if they behave themselves and don't look for trouble, as long as they occupy that seat under them, things will still find their way to that person in the end. How easy is it to live a peaceful life in the palace?

Li Zhaoyi thought for a few days, and finally decided that since the emperor wanted a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone, then she was willing to make this "horse bone".

On the second day, in the afternoon, in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

"The Empress Dowager..."

As soon as the Empress Dowager woke up from her lunch break, she saw the most trusted and useful female officer beside her rushing in from outside the palace.

"Don't worry, be careful of falling, you are already old, what is so urgent, you are not stable at all." The queen mother scolded, but there was no anger in her tone, but some caring intentions .

The Empress Dowager is almost sixty years old now. This female official is a maid she brought into the palace from her home. She is a few years younger than her and is now in her early fifties. The master and servant have been together for dozens of years, and the relationship is naturally different. .

"Your Majesty, Li Zhaoyi from the Zhongcui Palace last night made a statement to His Majesty after nightfall, wishing to honor the mighty grace of God and please leave the palace." The female officer rushed in and managed to catch her breath, and hurriedly said, " Today, His Majesty decreed that Li Zhaoyi be made the Lord of Minghui County, grant a house to open a mansion, and also reward countless gold and silver for the farm shop. After the imperial decree came, Li Zhaoyi kowtowed on the spot to accept the decree, and only brought two maids who served her personally, and just left the palace like this went."

The queen mother was a little stunned when she heard the words, and soon understood what the emperor was doing.

Through this method, the emperor directly turned the married woman into a married woman, and those concubines who had no sons and no favours, would be tempted.

Li Zhaoyi is the head of the nine concubines, with the highest status, and went out of the palace to be named the county head. The others are lower than Li Zhaoyi, and may not all be named the county head. dropped.

Even if this duchess can't pass it on to her descendants, it's enough to keep them safe for life. Compared with the weirdness and unpredictability in the palace, those concubines who don't have great ambitions may think this is a good way out, and soon They are going to ask themselves out of the palace one after another.

As for the emperor, even though he needs to bestow many titles at once, he is not at a loss. The inner-destined woman is the appointed woman, and the outer-destined woman is also the ordered woman. They are paid every year. These women are his women. He always spends money on them. He has money to take care of until he is old, no matter whether he is raised in the palace or outside the palace, he has to spend the money.

If the emperor threw them out of the palace directly and let them go, many people would accuse the emperor of being ruthless over and over again, but now he has moved the money spent in the palace directly outside the palace, probably more People will praise him for his benevolence, virtue and sageness.

The emperor's ability to control people's hearts was taught by the empress dowager. Seeing how clean his actions are now, the empress dowager should be proud, but when the empress dowager thinks that the emperor is acting against her wishes again, and will soon achieve his goal , I felt a pain in my heart.

"Go and tell the emperor that Ai's family is getting more seriously ill. I'm afraid I will go to see the first emperor in a few days." The queen mother gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.

"Your Majesty, this servant will send someone to invite His Majesty to come here immediately. Calm down and don't let your anger ruin your body. Li Zhaoyi's parents are dead, her brothers are helpless, she has no children and no favours, she has to think about herself, But the other empresses may not dare to think about themselves because of their families and other reasons." The female officer stroked the Queen Mother's chest, trying to comfort her.

The emperor wants to let people out of the palace. It is really a blessing for those women who are willing to go out. They will either remarry or be the masters of their own houses. It is much more comfortable than living in the harem with strict laws and regulations.But for those women who have the ambition to become the mother of the future prince, it is definitely not a favor for many people outside the palace who want to rely on women's nepotism.

"Now that there are too many people, the emperor lures them to leave the palace voluntarily. When there are fewer people, the emperor will use other means." Doesn't the empress dowager not understand the smallness in the emperor's heart?

When there were a lot of people, the emperor sent people to lure Li Zhaoyi to voluntarily take the lead, and more and more people would follow. When there were fewer people, they were voluntarily or directly kicked out. This kind of thing the emperor would definitely do Therefore, the queen mother did not want the emperor to succeed in the first place.

What's more, once there are fewer people staying and those who refuse to leave, even if they fight hard with the emperor until they can stay, they will be completely at a disadvantage in this matter. No matter how the emperor treats them in the future, No one will speak for them.

Even if they claimed that they were not out of selfishness, but voluntarily stayed in the palace to defend the emperor, even if someone couldn't see it and wanted to talk about this matter, the emperor would be able to refute it with confidence.

If I knew today, why bother.The emperor had said at the beginning that things would turn out like this, so he graciously let them go, but they refused to receive the grace of the saints, they wanted to go their own way, and they wanted to act against the will of the saints.

This incident was originally due to the emperor's selfish intentions. The Marquis of Yongning came back. The emperor only wanted to be with the Marquis of Yongning. It is bound to become the emperor, he is the most wise, those who refuse to accept grace are selfish, ungrateful, and deserve to suffer.

This method of always keeping oneself in a reasonable situation was of course taught by the empress dowager to the emperor, but now that the empress dowager thinks about these things, she is really depressed.

The queen mother took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down her emotions. She suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is the Marquis of Yongning, he just watched the emperor messing around like this, so why don't you persuade him?"

In the past, when the emperor wanted to do things arbitrarily, Marquis Yongning would always persuade him.

The Empress Dowager knows all this.

When the empress dowager got angry, she naturally felt that Marquis Yongning had bewitched the emperor's heart, and death was not a pity, but she calmed down, and she also knew that the real fault was on the emperor.On that day, she told the emperor that she must remember to act properly.The emperor promised well, but in the end, this is what the emperor said, "I know that I am the emperor"?

Even if the Marquis of Yongning didn't know how to advance or retreat, and lost his sense of propriety in his actions, as long as the emperor still remembered his propriety, he would not favor the Wei family too much, would not be swayed by Marquis Yongning, and would not be negligent in the harem for so many years , no intention of offspring, just want to be with Yongninghou.

However, even if the emperor made a mistake, he could not punish the emperor. In the end, the courtier Yongninghou had to bear the responsibility for the mistake.

The Empress Dowager involved the Marquis of Yongning in the case of privately abusing the remnants of King You. The life or death of Marquis Yongning and the life or death of the whole family of Wei were not very important to her, because the person who really cared about the safety of the whole family of Wei was the Marquis of Yongning. The one who really cares about the life and death of Marquis Yongning is the emperor, never her, she just uses the life and death of Marquis Yongning and the lives of the whole family of Wei family to wrestle with the emperor to control the emperor.

The stability of the country and the inheritance of the country are the responsibility of the emperor.If the emperor refuses to take on his responsibilities, refuses to take a single step back, and insists on going his own way to the end, the queen mother will naturally put the whole account on the head of Yongninghou and the Wei family, and they will not be allowed to live, but since the emperor If she is willing to retreat, the queen mother will not be bothered to kill them all, and is willing to raise her hand.

Anyway, there will always be someone by the emperor's side, either this or that.Although the Marquis of Yongning has all kinds of problems, he is pure in nature, selfish and willing to take care of the overall situation. He will not mess around with the emperor. He also knows self-discipline and etiquette outside.

Every time the Empress Dowager thinks of this matter, she will feel depressed, but as long as the emperor really remembers the measure and stops acting arbitrarily, favoring too much, and being influenced by others, she won't bother to meddle too much. That shit on the emperor's bed.

However, this time the emperor wanted to disband the harem, and he was acting recklessly again. Why didn't Marquis Yongning persuade him?

"The Marquis of Yongning probably agrees with His Majesty to do this. Your Majesty has not been particularly diligent these few days." The female officer replied in a low voice.

The emperor's bedroom has been sorted out repeatedly by the emperor over the years, and a lot of news will not be leaked out. However, once the emperor has conflicts with the Marquis of Yongning, he will be very diligent in his administration, so diligent that the courtiers feel headaches. Yes, but the emperor was not particularly diligent when he returned from the autumn hunting. Obviously, he and Yongning Hou did not have any conflicts over this matter.

"These years have passed, and Marquis Yongning's selfishness has become so serious? Hmph, he is not satisfied with the emperor's heart, and now he wants to dominate the emperor?" The queen mother was extremely dissatisfied when she heard this, and she was cold He hummed a few times and said.

"Your Majesty is so good, it is only natural for the Marquis of Yongning to want to monopolize His Majesty." The female officer praised the emperor and flattered the Queen Mother.

The fact that the emperor is so good is of course the result of the empress dowager's meticulous training. Praising the emperor is actually praising the empress dowager.

"You still speak for him, and when he gets mad at Aijia, let's see if you will speak for him!" The queen mother still remained angry.

"Why, Your Majesty is filial to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is filial to Your Majesty. My Majesty, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to be angry. When Your Majesty comes down, Your Majesty will talk to His Majesty carefully. His Majesty is still young, and some things always want to be arbitrary, but you should understand the truth, Your Majesty understands it all, and your Majesty will not insist on doing this after you have a good talk with Your Majesty," the female officer persuaded.

Most of the conflicts between the emperor and the empress dowager were due to power struggles, and the affairs of the Marquis of Yongning were also mixed in. As long as these two points were put aside, they could still be a good mother and son who were loving and filial.

Of course, the emperor and the empress dowager are at the top of the power of the dynasty, and the rise and fall of many people is changed by their words and deeds. Many times, they cannot get rid of these two points, and they will inevitably confront each other from time to time.

The female officer talked a lot, and finally persuaded the queen mother to stop being angry. At this time, the servant who was ordered to invite the emperor came back and returned.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is not in the palace at this time." The servant reported.

"Where did your majesty go?" the female officer asked instead of the queen mother.

"The maidservants don't know. When His Majesty left the palace, he didn't explain where he was going."

When the Empress Dowager was angry in the Palace of Compassion, Jing Li and Wei Yan were wandering around the unused Yongning Hou Mansion.

This mansion is not far from the imperial palace, surrounded by dignitaries. Jing Li took Wei Yan to explore countless places in Beijing, and then he took a fancy to this place. Then he ordered people to tear down the two old houses next to him, so that This is the foundation, drawing samples and drawings. It started construction in the late spring of the eighth year of Tianxi and took more than three years to complete.

Jing Li has personally cared about the details of the furniture, flowers, trees and trees in the house. After everything was arranged, he left it vacant for maintenance for a year, waiting for Wei Yan to return to Beijing and give him the house As a mansion.

This time he brought Wei Yan over to let Wei Yan see if there was anything he was dissatisfied with that needed rectification.

Jing Li took Wei Yan's hand and walked slowly along Qingshi Road, looking around the house.They walked in front, and the waiters followed behind.He walked and looked all the way, and inscribed the plaques of several main buildings.

After the two walked around, they sat down in the gazebo in the back garden, drinking tea while looking at the surrounding scenery.

"If you think something is wrong, let them change it. After the change, let it dry out. You should be able to live in it officially before the Chinese New Year." Jing Li said after taking a sip of tea.

"I think it's all very good." Wei Yan really doesn't understand the key points of these scenery layouts. Anyway, he sees that everything is neat and tidy, so he thinks it's very good.

"This is your house. If you don't take it to heart now, it will be uncomfortable to live in. Don't blame me for not fixing it properly." Seeing his big heart, Jing Li said to him with a smile.

"It's too late for Chen Xie'en, how could you blame His Majesty?" The emperor treated him so well, how could he blame the emperor for being so ungrateful?

"Oh, how does Ai Qing plan to thank me?" Jing Li smiled, and slowly, his tone became teasing.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan couldn't help shouting.

He quickly glanced around. The servants were all well-behaved and stood outside the pavilion without looking sideways. No matter what noises came from inside the pavilion, they did not dare to look around casually. Talking to him still made him a little restless.

"All right, all right, I won't talk about it. How about you stay here for a few days, and you'll know if there's anything that doesn't fit you." Jing Li tapped the table with his fingers, and suddenly suggested.

"Okay." Wei Yan nodded, then he looked at the emperor, his voice slowly lowered, "How long should the minister stay?"

When Wei Yan asked this question, he was not only asking for the emperor's opinion, but also contained some thoughts that he didn't quite understand.

"Do as you wish. I will accompany you tonight, and you can live by yourself for the next few days. You can stay for a few more days if you want. If you miss me, you can go back to the palace to accompany me." Jing Li smiled. Looking at him intently, he also lowered his voice and talked to him.

He speaks so generously, not because he is really so generous, but because of other reasons.

After Jing Li said these words, he turned his head, looked outside the pavilion, and shouted, "Fuxiang!"

"Slaves are here!" Fuxiang immediately responded.

Fuxiang is the second apprentice of Gao Yonggao, the chief manager, and he is responsible for most of the affairs of this house.

"Go to Zhongyonghou's mansion to deliver an order, and let them send some servants to this mansion tomorrow to serve Yongninghou well."

"Yes."

After Fuxiang retreated, Jing Li looked at Wei Yan again, and said, "Everything else in this mansion is complete. I let Fuxiang take care of things like the warehouse keys and ledgers, and I will hand them over to you tomorrow. You choose a proper housekeeper to manage things for you. The people who serve you should first use the elders of your Wei family. It is best not to use people who don’t know the background. You got the roster and handed it to Zhao Shi, and asked him to check the details carefully. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will stay in the mansion as a director, and then go to the Guards to resume your post."

Jing Li originally planned to let Wei Yan rest for a while, but now that things have changed, he decided to let Wei Yan go back to work earlier.

"Your Majesty, did something happen?" Seeing the emperor's solemn explanation, Wei Yan became a little uneasy.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm here, what can be the matter?" Jing Li shook his head and replied in a deep voice.

Li Zhaoyi made this head start, and the number of people following him will soon increase. I am afraid that there will be a big disturbance in the palace these few days. He does not want Wei Yan to see those crying scenes, let alone Wei Yan. After paying attention to this matter, I decided to let Wei Yan live here and let him go back to work.

Wei Yan sorts out the internal affairs of the mansion. After resuming his post, he needs to entertain his superiors, colleagues and subordinates, and reorganize various personnel relations. All these need time and energy. Next, Wei Yan will be busy, and I am afraid that he will not have time to worry about this It's over.

"Really?" Wei Yan still had doubts.

"Really. Are you ready to rest? Let's go and see your residence." Jing Li didn't say any more, but stood up, took Wei Yan, and went to the main courtyard.

That night, Jing Li stayed in Yongninghou Mansion and did not return to the palace.

After dinner, the two of them wandered around the yard, enjoyed the flowers, and spent a while in the study before going to wash and bathe.

After getting on the couch, Jing Li pulled off the belt under Wei Yan's armpit, and pressed his palm against his body.The warm palm, as if possessing magical power, plucked Wei Yan's heartstrings, causing his heartbeat to speed up instantly.

"Your Majesty... don't you want to keep in good health?" At this time, Wei Yan can still think of this matter, it is really a lot of concentration.
