Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"How long has Wei Qing's family served His Majesty?"

In the luxurious palace room, a beautiful woman in full costume sat on the couch, looked at the young man kneeling outside the curtain, and asked a question lightly, with no trace of joy or anger in her tone.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I was accompanied by Longsheng in the palace for five years." Wei Yan looked down at the patterns on the carpet, and dealt with it carefully.

The Empress Dowager is not known for her strictness. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so nervous, and the emperor also said beforehand that the Empress Dowager would not embarrass him. Even though this "thief" was forced to do it, the panic in his heart still couldn't stop surging up.

"Longsheng five years..." Empress Dowager Wang gently tapped the edge of the teacup with the tea lid, neither drinking nor speaking, let the unbearable silence shroud the room, until the people kneeling on the ground were in such silence Li tensed her body nervously, and she felt a little satisfied, and smiled slightly, "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, it will be ten years."

"Yes." Wei Yan felt sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

The Empress Dowager was able to control the government for many years as an orphan and widowed mother. Naturally, she is not an easy person. No matter how kind she is, she will never be lenient in what she should do.What's more, since ancient times, the king will never make mistakes. Even if he is really wrong, his ministers should bear the responsibility.

When the emperor made mistakes when he was young, he was the one who punished him. Now that the emperor makes mistakes, he should be the one who should be punished.For such an ending, didn't he already understand it?What is the reason for the unwillingness in my heart at this time?

"How old is Wei Qing's family this year?"

"Five out of twenty ministers."

The question-and-answer conversation continued. Even though it was in a warm room, Wei Yan still felt chills.

"Your Majesty is not a weak crown, but still has a child's heart. It is inevitable that there will be times when he acts absurdly. Wei Qing's family is a little older than His Majesty, and he has served His Majesty for many years. His Majesty can listen to what he says. You should persuade Your Majesty more, but don't just follow him." Let Your Majesty mess around with you." Sure enough, after talking nonsense for a long time, the queen mother finally got to the point and began to tell her purpose of summoning Wei Yan late at night. Her tone was not very harsh, but she spoke very seriously.

"Minister obeys the order." Wei Yan gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out these words.

Obviously he was wronged, and it was obviously not his fault. In the end, everyone would think it was his fault, just like the Queen Mother. Just because that person is the emperor, so even if he did something wrong, it is not his fault. You will not be blamed or punished in any way.

If his family finds out about this one day, will they look at him with the same eyes, and will they think that all this is his fault?

His palms were slowly clenched, but he couldn't justify himself, he just pressed his forehead hard to the ground.

At this time, in the emperor's bedroom, Emperor Jing was standing in front of the window and meditating.

"Your Majesty, let's rest first. The old slave has made arrangements. If there is anything wrong there, I will report it quickly." Gao Yong approached quietly, persuading the emperor to rest.

Emperor Jing waved his hand, signaling him to go down.

How could he be able to sleep at such a time?Although he knew very well that his mother would not really do anything to Wei Yan, at most she would reprimand and beat Wei Yan a few times, but the helplessness of not being able to control everything still quietly eroded his heart, bringing a trace of pain. A feeling of pain.

One day, I will truly rule the world without any constraints, even if that person is my mother, I will not tolerate her meddling with my power.

Emperor Jing secretly swears to the cold moon outside the window.

Some historians in later generations believed that the gap between Emperor Jinglie and his mother was due to one person. If Emperor Jinglie knew about it, he would definitely scoff. , the others are just excuses.

As for the truth of these words, the emperor standing at the highest place can usually deceive himself, and no one can tell whether it is true or not.

When Wei Yan walked out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the underwear inside was already soaked.He couldn't help shivering when he was blown by the cold wind outside.

The queen mother announced that he came just to gossip for a while, made a few insinuations, and then explained his next trip to Youzhou. The words were not harsh, and the tone was definitely not harsh, but he still let him bear it. I can't help feeling a little palpitations.

Don't do anything bad in your life, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night.He didn't do anything wrong, and he never thought it was his fault.However, the Empress Dowager would not think so, other people would not think so, and even his family members would not think so if they found out in the future.

Bewitching the culprit and bewitching the king, this is how the world will judge him in the future.Thinking of this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Wei Yan's mouth.When he was young, he was taught to "learn literary and martial arts, and be a king's family". When he was young, he was sent to the palace to serve the king, hoping to be appreciated by the king as soon as possible, to display his ambitions, and to leave a name in history after his death.At that time, how could he have thought that there would be difficulties today, and how could he have thought that what would be left in the history books in the future would only be stigma and infamy.

The cold moon of the winter night lazily shone on the vast land, and he walked along the palace road in that pale white, feeling at a loss in his heart.The road ahead is rough and bumpy, there is no turning back, and there is no exit in sight, so we can only stagger forward, taking one step at a time.

Emperor Jing saw Wei Yan like this, saluted him meticulously, answered his questions respectfully, and there was nothing wrong with his whole body.But that's what's really wrong.

Wei Yan is a person who only behaves in a rigid manner when dealing with unfamiliar people. He always pays attention to making sure that there is nothing wrong with his expression and words. Show some signs of relaxation.

A few days ago, after Emperor Jing made the promise that he would let go in the future, Wei Yan obviously relaxed when getting along with him.The specific manifestation is that no matter what he orders, Wei Yan will obediently obey him, and he looks like he is carefully serving him in his actions, but in his heart from time to time, he has to use a little careful thinking and play tricks, this is not good, that is not good Wish, try to bargain with him.

Emperor Jing has met countless smart people since he was a child. These smart people have used various methods to work hard on him, trying their best to make him happy, and then wait for the opportunity to get something from him. Wei Yan's point Small tricks and tricks, in his eyes, are naturally extremely clumsy.

But smart people flatter him in front of him, just for the sake of being rich, famous, and a great official. Wei Yan, an idiot, played these tricks in front of him, but he just hoped that he would restrain himself a little in the intercourse and not be so indulgent. act.

Sometimes when Emperor Jing really thought about it, he felt both angry and funny.

Qi is Qi. Wei Yan doesn't know what is good or bad. I don't know how many people are vying for his favor. Those women in the harem are about to break their heads in order to compete for his favor. It's Wei Yan, an idiot, who is so disrespectful. Happy to thank you.

Even if it is true that he forced Wei Yan at the beginning, but things have become like this, Wei Yan should accept the reality, serve him well, and make him happy with his heart, there will naturally be countless benefits in the future. Does such a simple truth need others to do it? teach?

The smile is laughing. Since Wei Yan knows that he needs to bargain with him, he should ask for some practical benefits. He can understand asking him for a reward, an official position, or a member of the Jiaen tribe. Wei Yan always hopes that he will be more restrained on the couch, always I hope he only pampers him with one gesture, what is the use of asking for these things?

If it is someone else, let alone he has favored for more than a month, as long as he has been favored for a few days, I am afraid that he will ask for status, wealth and all kinds of benefits that can be seen and felt. Beg for something useless.

Emperor Jing always felt that Wei Yan's requests were meaningless, so whether he should respond to Wei Yan's requests purely depends on his mood.

He was in a bad mood, and felt that Wei Yan's thoughts were actually unwilling to accept luck. At this time, not only would he not respond, but he would do the opposite. The more Wei Yan hoped that he would restrain himself, the more he would indulge. The more Wei Yan hoped that he would Don't play tricks and do that well, the more he has to use all kinds of means to pamper him over and over again.

He is in a good mood, usually when he hugs Wei Yan to tears and begs him softly, he will be in a good mood. At this time, if Wei Yan asks again, he will respond.

For example, a few hours ago, they enjoyed the joy of fish and water to the fullest. Both he and Wei Yan got unprecedented satisfaction in the intercourse.At that time, Wei Yan hoped that he would behave himself in the bath and not do other things, so he agreed.

Later, Emperor Jing felt that Wei Yan's whole person softened. He liked this atmosphere very much and couldn't help but chatted with Wei Yan a lot. But now, he felt that Wei Yan had returned to his original appearance. The lower layers of heavy defense wrapped themselves up in groups.

Emperor Jing didn't like to see Wei Yan like this, and wanted to comfort him a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.At this moment, he still has no ability to let Wei Yan not suffer any grievances, let alone prevent his mother from summoning Wei Yan. In this case, any promise is meaningless.

It's just that he doesn't know what his mother said, which made Wei Yan become so reserved again?

"Sit down." Emperor Jing motioned Wei Yan to sit beside him, and asked him directly, "Why did the Queen Mother ask you to go?"

The place where he sat was a couch for living, with a low table in the middle and a fruit plate on it.Emperor Jing picked a tangerine from the plate, peeled it carefully, broke it and handed a few petals to Wei Yan who was opposite.

"The Empress Dowager Xuanchen just went to ask about His Majesty's recent situation, and told him to take good care of His Majesty." Wei Yan's thoughts were all on replying, and he took the tangerine handed over by the emperor casually. I found that the emperor handed it over so smoothly just now, he was in a trance, and he received it very smoothly. He didn't even think about going to thank you. After receiving it, he realized this, neither eating nor not eating , holding it in his hand in a daze.

"The queen mother told you to 'serve' me well?" Emperor Jing didn't believe his words, and couldn't help but ask back, with an indescribable playful tone in his tone. He didn't change the subject until the face of the opposite person changed, "This honey The tangerines are well preserved and taste good, try them."

"Yes." Wei Yan settled down, put those tangerine petals into his mouth, chewed them numbly, and swallowed them quickly, without tasting the taste at all.

I can't blame him for being sensitive. Since he was treated like that by the emperor, any normal sentence that the emperor said casually would make him feel different meanings. This is a very typical mentality of "being guilty of being a thief".

"Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After the palace banquet, I will go out of the palace to have fun with the people. You will follow Shen Mo to handle this matter tomorrow." Emperor Jing guessed what Wei Yan was going to say, "The son of a thousand gold can't sit still " and other persuasive nonsense, quickly waved his hand, and changed the subject again, "It's already past the time of tonight's tossing, it's not tomorrow, it should be today. It's getting late, let's rest early."

"Chen..." Wei Yan wanted to refuse.

The queen mother was already blaming him, and ordered him to persuade the emperor not to be so nonsense. He really shouldn't continue to sleep with the emperor.

However, the emperor didn't give him this opportunity at all, without saying anything, he walked over and removed his clothes, carried him on the couch, and rested in his arms.

"Since the empress doesn't like it, why do you still tolerate it?" After Wei Yan resigned, the female officer serving the queen mother asked inexplicably.

This female official is a domestic servant brought into the palace by the Empress Dowager from her natal family. She grew up with the Empress Dowager since she was a child. She has an unusual relationship with her. She is the first female official that the Empress Dowager can use.

"For some decisions, if His Majesty does not make them himself, and someone else does it for you, there will be no benefit other than getting His Majesty's resentment." The queen mother played with the teacup in her hand and replied lightly.

"Your Majesty loves it so much, how can you be willing?"

"One day His Majesty will understand that even if His Majesty is rich in the world, there will still be times when he has to give up. It is never possible to have both. One day, His Majesty understands this, and he can become A true emperor."

Although the emperor is her son, although the power of the dynasty will definitely be transferred to the emperor, but before the emperor has the ability to truly control those powers, she will never give it up lightly.In order to obtain the power of ruling the world, the emperor must find ways to seize it from her. This is the last lesson she taught the emperor, and it is also the most important lesson.

As for Wei Yan, he was just a small stone on the way for the emperor to become a real emperor. It was really easy to crush him, so there was no need to worry or pay too much attention to it.

On the second day, Emperor Jing went to the Imperial Study Room early in the morning, and Wei Yan went to the guard's office to convey His Majesty's will last night to Commander Shen Mo Shen.

"How did you return to Beijing last night?" Unexpectedly, when Commander Shen saw him, his expression was solemn and his tone was serious, as if he was asking for a crime.

"Last night... subordinate..." Wei Yan hesitated and didn't know how to reply.

The Empress Dowager summoned him urgently last night, so he naturally didn't dare to delay, he was about to rush back immediately, the emperor refused to let him enter the palace alone, and insisted on going back to Beijing with him.He failed to persuade him, but was persuaded. In the end, they only brought a few people to Beijing on Qingqi.

When I went there, Yu Jia walked for two full hours, and when I returned, it only took more than half an hour to hurry back. The others waited until this morning to enter the palace.Then when entering the city, the gate of the city was closed, and the gate of the palace was also closed, and there was some commotion before entering the palace.Commander Shen had a displeased expression on his face at this moment, obviously he had been reported and wanted to settle the score with him last night.
