Chronicle of Emperor Jing

When the Wei family enjoyed themselves happily and enjoyed the family relationship to the fullest, the mother and son of the royal family looked quite different.

In the early morning of this day, Jing Li led people away from the Yongning Hou Mansion and returned to the palace, where he got Gao Yong's report and learned about the fact that the Queen Mother sent someone to invite him over yesterday.

This day he had a morning court, so he nodded his head, didn't say much, let others serve him, changed his court clothes, and went to the morning court.

Yesterday, Li Zhaoyi asked himself out of the palace, and in the blink of an eye, it became the matter of the Minghui County Lord, or the ministers who were well-informed, or concerned about this matter, basically knew about it, and some people would inevitably nag him a few words about it .

But the emperor was willing, and Li Zhaoyi herself was willing, even if some people were very displeased with this matter, and secretly felt that it was very decent for Li Zhaoyi to do so, but apart from those few clichés, they didn't have much to say.

In addition, some people were opposed to the emperor's decree to let people out of the palace at that time, but they had been secretly following the news of this matter, but at this time, they had different ideas.

Sending a daughter into the palace, how should I put it, those who are willing are quite happy. Even if their daughter is not selected in the palace, they still have to manage up and down, move around, and try their best to stuff their daughter into the palace, but Those who are not happy... Well, even if they are not happy in their hearts, they will never let others know what they really think.

The royal family is the most respected and noble place in the world, no matter how long and noble the family is, it must be recognized on the surface. As for whether they will despise the royal family in secret, they are just some vulgar nouveau riche, but it is just a coincidence that they won the world with their strong soldiers and horses, that is Another matter.

No matter which family's daughter, it is a great honor for the family to be selected by the palace and have the honor to serve the emperor. Some people avoid it for fear, and even dare to express it in public.

For those courtiers who are so ignorant, needless to say, if the emperor finds out, there must be no good fruit to eat.

A king with a more generous mind would probably let that person sit on the bench, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be promoted and reused.

These ministers didn't dare to be ignorant at first, once their daughters were picked by the palace, they all obediently kowtowed for God's grace and happily sent their daughters into the palace.But now they discovered that their daughter really had a chance to leave the palace.

Yes, many ministers who had women in the palace expressed their opposition when the emperor made this decree, not all of them wanted to advance as women, but they suspected that the emperor was posturing again.

This kind of thing has precedents everywhere, and the old fox who has been in court for a long time naturally knows what is going on.

For example, one day the emperor had a sudden whim and wanted to give himself a reputation as a wise and benevolent monarch, so he made such a decree, and waited until the ministers persuaded him twice and persuaded him three times, and then said that he had no choice but to Take it back.

After a few rounds like this, the reputation the emperor wanted has been obtained, and the beauties have not been lost, isn't it wonderful and joyful!

If these ministers hurriedly expressed their views before the situation became clear, they might have cheated themselves and their daughters.

But what happened to Li Zhaoyi finally made them realize that the emperor was for real.That being the case, their minds naturally moved.

Let's not talk about these people's secret thoughts. Anyway, in the morning court this day, some people wanted to discuss this matter, but Jing Li stopped it soon.

In addition, it is just some government affairs, if there is no emergency, coming and going, all those things.

In these years, Jing Li has long been experienced in government affairs, so he can handle it with ease, so I won't talk about many things.

At the end of the day, he returned to his bedroom, took off his heavy court clothes, and put on light ordinary clothes before going to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects.

Usually, when Jing Li came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay his respects, he would send a servant to pass the message first, lest he suddenly come and bump into someone who shouldn't be bumped into.

The married women are all his concubines, so it doesn't matter if they bump into them, but the queen mother will also have foreign married women coming to the palace to pay her respects, especially young foreign married women, who are not suitable to meet the emperor, and will consciously avoid them when the emperor visits.

Jingli sent someone to inform in advance, in fact, to give these people some time to avoid.

"Your Majesty, Wan An!"

On this day, Jing Li didn't send people to communicate, but directly led them into the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Along the way, they met the servant maids of their group. Although their eyes were a little surprised, no one dared to run around. Instead, they all bowed to him.

Of course, their greetings were quite loud, and they were all full of air, lest the people inside might not hear them.

He walked all the way, with people leaning over and greetings one after another, but no one dared to stop him, until he reached the main hall entrance of the Compassionate Ning Palace, only to be blocked by the most useful female officer beside the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty is safe, Your Majesty is sick and haggard, and her appearance is out of order. Please take a rest in the outer hall for a while. After your Majesty tidies up her appearance, please come in to greet her." The female officer bowed respectfully and said hello, explaining the reason for blocking him.

Regardless of whether the reason is true or not, it sounds like the same thing anyway. As for the real reason, whether the queen mother has not put on a sick face and cannot see the emperor immediately, others will not know.

"Wang Shangyi, please get up." Jing Li raised her hand, motioning for her to flatten.

This female official is the Queen Mother's personal maid. She entered the palace with the Queen Mother back then, and was given the surname Wang by the Queen Mother. Now she is in charge of the Shangyi Bureau.

Wang Shangyi is an old man next to the Queen Mother. She is loyal to the Queen Mother and is a great help to the Queen Mother who is well-informed. Will not treat her harshly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Shangyi thanked him, then straightened up, greeted the emperor and went to the living room of the outer hall, and said as he walked, "Your Majesty, An Lehou recently went to the east and got some novelty items. For your empress to enjoy, the drinking method of a kind of tea he brought in is quite different from the one here, would you like to try it, Your Majesty?"

An Lehou is the Empress Dowager's younger brother and Jing Li's uncle.

The kind of tea that Wang Shangyi mentioned, he also has there, it was all sent to the palace by An Lehou, and it needs a lot of sugar to drink, Jing Li doesn't like to drink tea like this, after tasting it once, it's not sensitive, but Wei Yan drank it I think it's okay, I will take it out and try it occasionally.

"Just a cup of clear tea." Jing Li remembered the sweet taste of the tea, and flatly rejected Wang Shangyi's recommendation.

Wang Shangyi welcomed the emperor in, invited him to a seat, and directed the little maid to serve tea.

Jing Li sat and drank tea for a while before the maid came out to invite him in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you in."

Jing Li followed the palace maid into the empress dowager's quarters, looked up and looked around.

Since he was a little older, unless the Empress Dowager was really ill, the Empress Dowager always met him in the living room of the outer hall, and he hadn't been inside for a long time.

The empress dowager's sleeping hall was not much different from what he remembered. Familiar furnishings were placed in the original places one by one. The only difference was that the empress dowager was probably really old.

Jing Li looked at the Empress Dowager leaning on the couch, even though he knew that his Empress Dowager was wearing such a sickly makeup, her forehead was tied and sickly crooked, she was just acting, and her real purpose was to force him to give in , not really sick.

But watching this scene, he still had some strange feelings in his heart.

"Mother Wan'an." He came closer, bent slightly, gave a salute, calmed down, and then said with a smile, "I see that my mother looks good today, I want to take a few more medicines, my mother's illness It's almost as good."

What Jing Li said was purely talking nonsense.

The Empress Dowager's face was covered with many layers of powder by the court ladies, and her complexion looked extremely pale. Unless he was really blind, it would be impossible to tell that the Empress Dowager's complexion was very good.

"Ai's family is seriously ill. If His Majesty doesn't come to visit, Ai's family may become ill and go to see the first emperor soon." When the queen mother saw him, she didn't have a good voice. Hearing what he said , replied even more angrily.

"Your Majesty... have a good talk with Your Majesty." Wang Shangyi came in after the emperor, and couldn't help persuading her when she heard what the Queen Mother said.

She directed the servants to place a high-ranking chair in front of the empress dowager's bed, and set up a tea table next to her. She respectfully invited the emperor to take a seat, and served tea before she retreated. She guarded the door carefully, leaving the mother and son talking inside. .

Jing Li picked up the teacup, lifted the lid, played with it for a while, took a sip of tea, and then said:

"Queen, you are not an ordinary woman, why are you so hypocritical?"

In Jingli's impression, the queen mother has always been strong, and the collapse of Mount Tai may not make her easily moved.Thinking back to how ruthless the queen mother was when she forced him to make a choice, from the beginning to the end, the queen mother watched him be in a dilemma and hesitantly with cold eyes, but she easily waved her sleeves without leaving any dust.

This posture is the empress dowager he is familiar with.Now, the Empress Dowager is acting like this, and he couldn't help feeling extremely moved.

He knew that this matter would definitely displease the queen mother, and he also knew that the queen mother would definitely find a way to oppose him, but he did not expect that the queen mother would change her normal routine and use such a weak way to deal with him.

This completely unfamiliar feeling made him feel awkward for a while.

If the queen mother is tough, he is naturally not afraid, but now the queen mother is soft with him, but it makes him unable to make things too ugly.

Wei Yan is an idiot, he is very stupid most of the time, but he is right in saying that the Queen Mother is always his mother.He didn't want to do anything until it was absolutely necessary.

"The Ai family is indeed inferior to ordinary women. Ordinary folk women, if their son is unfilial, they can naturally cry, make trouble, and hang themselves. They can even go to the government to sue him for disobedience and let the law punish him. It's a pity that Ai's family is the queen mother of a country. Feeling so wronged, I want to go to the Taimiao to weep for the late emperor, but I have to worry about whether the Aijia will leave His Majesty with a reputation of unfilial piety in the history." The Queen Mother replied coldly.

"Mother's queen..." Jing Li had nothing to say about this.

If the queen mother really went to the Taimiao to cry for the late emperor, as a son, he would probably be scolded for being unfilial by people all over the world.

"The queen mother..." He thought for a while, and then said, "As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, and if someone leaves the palace voluntarily, I can't force him to stay, right?"

County Lord Minghui really left the palace voluntarily, and Jing Li could say this loudly in front of anyone without any guilt.

In this matter, he has always adopted Jiang Taigong's strategy of fishing and taking the bait. It is really useless to use any tricks and tricks, at most it is a lure.It's not his fault that people's hearts are like this, he just took advantage of it a little bit, and it's not a means of not being able to see people.

"Hehe, leave the palace voluntarily?" The Queen Mother sneered a few times, and said, "The rafters in the early years are rotten first. If Li Zhaoyi has any accident outside the palace, I wonder if there is anyone who would dare to leave the palace voluntarily?"

"Mother, I believe that the auspicious person of Minghui County has his own destiny." Hearing this, Jing Li's voice became cold.

He is very clear about the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, and the Queen Mother is also very clear about the meaning of his words.

Today is different, if the Empress Dowager sends someone to deal with the Minghui County Lord and scare other concubines from leaving the palace, he will naturally not be polite.

The queen mother is his biological mother, and probably nothing will happen to her, but those who dare to do this kind of thing for the queen mother will probably taste his thunderous wrath.

In fact, the Minghui County Lord has now become an untouchable porcelain doll. Anyone who has trouble with the Minghui County Lord is a trouble with the emperor. Dissatisfied with this matter, he went to provoke Minghui County Lord and deliberately slapped the emperor in the face.

A smart and sensible person would definitely not touch County Mistress Minghui, and everyone would be respectful and respectful when meeting her, and would never make things difficult for her, lest the emperor take revenge for no apparent reason.

However, there are always some people in this world who are not smart enough, don't understand these twists and turns, and do whatever they want, so Jing Li left someone to guard him early in Minghui County Lord's Mansion, lest he set up this root. Benchmark, something went wrong.

A smart person like the Empress Dowager naturally understands all these principles.

The mother and son looked at each other in silence for a moment, and finally, the queen mother took the lead to look away.

When she was old, even if she was not for herself, she had to think about the people close to her. If the method was too strong and angered the emperor, those people close to her might suffer the emperor's wrath.

With a thought in her mind, she decided to continue on the route of overcoming rigidity with softness.

The emperor's character is strong when he encounters the strong. If someone fights hard with him, his eagerness to be strong and competitive will come up.

When he is weak, he is weak. Although he doesn't have much sympathy, he always has some pity for well-behaved and obedient people, and he can't be unfeeling for those close to him.

The queen mother sighed for a long time, adjusted her voice, and said in a very helpless voice: "Your Majesty, the Ai family still doesn't understand why these women in the harem are getting in the way of your affairs, you really don't want to enter the harem , now the Ai family doesn't bother to talk about you, why bother them?"

The harem and the emperor's bedroom do not belong together. Only when the emperor enters the harem will he see his concubines. If he doesn't go in, they won't see him at all. If he really doesn't bother to deal with them, he just wants to be with Yongninghou, but that's all. Spending some money and food to support them, is it necessary to make trouble?

Nowadays, it is widely rumored in the harem that the emperor's rewards are graded. Whoever goes to the table first and invites himself to leave the palace will get the first prize. Once the speed of the table falls behind others, the rewards will naturally fall behind.

This kind of rumor, as soon as you hear it, you know that it was the emperor who asked someone to release it. In addition to the example of Li Zhaoyi, at this time, many concubines in the harem are ready to move.

When the Queen Mother thought of these things, she had a very headache. If she was not sick, she would be made sick by the emperor's anger.

"Mother, some people misunderstood that I did this out of selfishness. I have nothing to say, and I don't want to defend myself. But as long as you are a sensible person, you can definitely understand that what I do is absolutely for those concubines who voluntarily leave the palace. It’s not worth it.”

Even if the queen mother is dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, she has to admit that the emperor's words are very reasonable.In this matter, the bastard took the position of righteousness before the emperor, and others wanted to fight him, so it was easy for him to put himself in an unrighteous position.

"Let's not talk about those who leave the palace voluntarily. Then, for those who don't want to leave the palace, His Majesty should let them stay?" The queen mother decided to take a step back.

"My queen, it's only been a few days. Some people must not have figured out the reason behind this. I believe they will think about it carefully, and they will voluntarily leave the palace at that time." Jing Li said this very firmly.

Originally, if someone still can't figure it out, he will definitely help them to figure it out when the time comes.

The Empress Dowager knew exactly what the emperor's words meant.All these concubines have complete family members, and the emperor can control them a lot. When the time comes, even if they don't want to, they will have to say that they are voluntary.

"Then what about the concubines who have children? They should be able to stay in the palace, right? You drove the mothers of the princes and princesses out of the palace, what should the princes and princesses do?" Instead, he took another step back, and the bottom line can be said to be retreated again and again.

She was too lazy to care about the concubine without heirs, but there was absolutely no reason for the concubine with children to be released from the palace.

"Isn't there still a queen mother? At that time, it will be enough to raise them in the mother's harem." Jing Li said this quite easily.

"What kind of nonsense is this, how many years can the Ai family live? You, the emperor, don't care about them, and you want to drive their mother and concubine out of the palace, but you expect the Ai family to take care of you?" Although the queen mother worked hard, She told herself not to be angry with the emperor, because the emperor was always a jerk when he was a jerk, if she got angry with him, she might really be mad at him to death.But she endured it for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and asked him angrily.

"Isn't the queen mother wanting the emperor's heir? It's not what I want, what's the matter with me?" Jing Li's voice was calm, but there was always a resentment about this matter in his heart.

If the Queen Mother hadn't controlled Wei Yan's life and forced him to do this, his reaction probably wouldn't have been so strong.For some things, he knew the consequences, and he took the initiative to do it, and it felt completely different from being forced to do it.

Moreover, with Wei Yan, he was too lazy to care about who served whom, but with other people, he obviously wanted to care about this issue.

As soon as he said this, the queen mother was really going to be mad at him. She grabbed something and threw it at the emperor, angrily shouting:

"Emperor, don't go too far!"

Jing Li had also practiced martial arts at any rate. Although his skill was not high, it was enough to judge the direction of the things the Queen Mother smashed.

Holding the teacup, he sat upright and didn't even dodge for a moment when he saw Yu Ruyi, whom the Empress Dowager often played with, fly over his shoulder, landed on the ground, and shattered into several pieces with a "snap". .

"Your Majesty?" Wang Shangyi, who was guarding the door, heard something wrong inside and asked outside.

"It's okay, you stay outside and don't let anyone get close." The Queen Mother took a few deep breaths before replying.

The emperor has always had little affection for the princes and princesses. Even the third prince Jingying, who is said to be very beloved by him, the emperor's attitude is not very close. The queen mother thought it was the death of the emperor's eldest son, so the emperor learned to cover up his thoughts so as not to Another accident, I didn't expect the real problem to be here.

"Your Majesty, even if Aijia forced you back then, it's all Aijia's fault. It's understandable for you to hate Aijia, but you put this blame on the princes and princesses and their mothers and concubines. Do you think it is reasonable? Do you think weak women like them have the right to choose in this matter?" The queen mother was really helpless, and could only try to reason with him.

The emperor knew all about the future troubles of not having an heir.

The throne means supreme power. For this position, there are always countless people who take risks. Once the emperor has no heir, there will be many people who have different ideas in the court.

Even if the emperor wants to adopt, there will be countless troubles, unless it is a last resort, the empress dowager really does not want the emperor to go this way.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family believes that even he wants His Majesty to have an heir. If His Majesty really has no heirs, and people have thoughts that should not be born, and the troubles reach the point where the lives of the people are ruined, the guilt at that time may fall. It is on him. Your Majesty must understand this truth, why do you have to do this, and make him unjust? Ai has a question, and I have always wanted to ask your majesty, is he really willing to do this?" The queen mother saw him playing around Chazhan didn't speak, but continued.

The him that the Queen Mother spoke of naturally refers to Marquis Yongning.

Hearing this, Jing Li finally raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother, and suddenly smiled.

"Mother..." He took a sip of tea before slowly replying, "He is willing, he loves me!"

Back then, the queen mother said that Wei Yan didn't love him. Jing Li tried hard to argue that Wei Yan loved him in front of the queen mother. In fact, he was always guilty in his heart and couldn't be sure. Now, he can finally say with certainty that Wei Yan loved him. Yan likes him, Wei Yan loves him.

The queen mother looked at him like this, and when the emperor said this, she felt so proud that the tail behind her back was wagging, and she really wanted to hit him.

Does she mean the same thing as the emperor said yes?

The emperor is so stupid, after a hundred years, can Jiangshan Sheji really be passed on safely?

"Your Majesty, can you really tell the difference between Yongning Hou willingly, or because of all kinds of flattery?" The queen mother wanted to hold back and not attack the emperor, but seeing his proud appearance, she couldn't tell. I was so upset that I couldn't hold back in the end.

"Queen mother, I am the emperor, and I can't do as I please. How can the Marquis of Yongning, He De, not be burdened by common affairs?" However, Jing Li was not shocked by her words.

He naturally knew that his family, relatives and friends were all Wei Yan's burdens.Wei Yan, an idiot, got angry too, so he forgot about his identity and got into trouble with him.When he was rational, Wei Yan didn't dare to say no to him easily.

However, Wei Yan really has nothing to worry about, he can do whatever he wants, and do things according to his heart, it is impossible for him to succeed in the first place.Wei Yan's kung fu is much better than him, it's really easy to push him away.

Jing Li understands all these principles.Of course, when he is rational and calm, he can remember these things. Once he gets emotional, he will argue with Wei Yan about this and that, and make all kinds of fuss.

"It turns out that this is the case. It turns out that His Majesty is in love with the Marquis of Yongning. Do you need to congratulate your family?" The queen mother sneered.

"That's a good relationship, thank you Queen Mother." Even if there was something in the Queen Mother's words, Jing Li only thought that she was really congratulating her.

He and Wei Yan are now like a couple who have made a private decision for life, and they really want to be affirmed and blessed by others.

With these words, the emperor was able to climb up the pole, and the queen mother was choked by him for a while.

The queen mother observed him carefully, and suddenly realized that the emperor was not showing his face, she must be extremely happy in her heart, and I am afraid that she was so happy that she wished to announce it to the world.

"Your Majesty, besides disbanding the harem, what else do you want to do?" She had a feeling of uneasiness in her heart and asked in a deep voice.

"The queen mother is worrying too much, that's all, there's nothing else to do." This matter hasn't been settled yet, of course Jing Li won't admit it, he will do other things.

Things have to be done one by one, and you can't become fat if you eat in one breath.

"Since this is the case, the Ai family still has the same sentence. As long as the concubines without children are willing to leave, His Majesty can let them go, but the concubines with children must stay in the palace, and His Majesty should not do other things. Help them figure it out. As long as His Majesty can do these things, the Ai family won't bother to care about this matter anymore." This is the queen mother's bottom line, and it is impossible to retreat.

"Mother, what if the concubine who has children also leaves voluntarily?"

"As long as His Majesty doesn't do unnecessary things, Aijia believes that they won't have such thoughts."

"Not necessarily."

Seeing that he was still unwilling to give up on this, it was obvious that there was a certain distance between his bottom line and the queen mother's bottom line. The queen mother organized her words silently and asked suddenly:

"Your Majesty, do you know why kings throughout the ages don't show their love easily? Sometimes, even the person they love won't know that he is the king's favorite?"

"The queen mother wants to say that because of his poor fortune, he can't afford the king's grace?" Jing Li took the lid and played with the tea in the cup, but didn't drink it.

He wasn't strong enough back then, so he couldn't protect Yu'er's life, and he couldn't protect Wei Yan well. He would definitely not make such a mistake again.

"Your Majesty, because once the kings are known to be loved in their hearts, they must be disappointed. Their love is their weakness. It is very stupid to put your weakness in a prominent place and let others take advantage of it. thing."

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, the queen mother continued: "Even if the person they love, once they find out the king's love for him, they will probably use this love to achieve their own goals. Your Majesty, do you still remember that the Marquis of Yongning is How did you get involved in the Sun Ke case?"

"A gentleman can bully him." Jing Li replied calmly.

He had thought about these things carefully during countless nights of sleeping alone.

In Wei Yan's heart, there are various principles of integrity and kindness, which are his strengths and also his weaknesses.

He often uses these principles of Wei Yan to achieve his own goals, so it is reasonable for other people to want to do the same.

The Sun Ke case is similar.Once this matter comes to Wei Yan, he will definitely take care of it, and if he does, a series of troubles will follow.

Jing Li sometimes wished that Wei Yan would stick to these principles only for him, and use another set of principles for others, but he knew that this was a stupid idea.

If Wei Yan is really such a person, he might not even dare to believe him.

"Your Majesty, has Your Majesty ever thought about how he used His Majesty's love to achieve the purpose of retrialing the Sun Ke case?" The Queen Mother increased her efforts step by step, until here, she finally saw the truth.

Hearing this, Jing Li's expression finally changed.

How did Wei Yan get involved in the Sun Ke case?One is because Wei Yan was used by others, and the queen's people deliberately pointed out those scholars who complained of injustice, so that Wei Yan saw the book of Wanmin, and the other is because Wei Yan took advantage of his love to force him to change his mind.

This incident, before and after, was indeed as the queen mother said, his weakness, his love, was taken advantage of and let down by others.

"Your Majesty, Aijia knows that His Majesty is very happy now. He is so happy that he can't wait to tell the world. He can't wait to hold the whole world in front of him to please him. But Aijia advises Your Majesty that before doing these things, you need Think twice before acting. Not many people know that he is His Majesty's weakness, and he is being used like this. Once there are more people who know, I don't know how many people will emerge who want to use him to achieve their goals."

"Actually, Ai's family doesn't understand. Why doesn't His Majesty let him be a rich and idle person, and get a modest title to get some salary? Why let him work hard instead of being with His Majesty every day? With His Majesty here, Is Your Majesty still afraid that someone will wrong him?" The queen mother took some eye drops.

Back then, the Empress Dowager agreed to the emperor Na Weiyan's entry into the palace because the empress was still there and the Xie family was also there. Even if Wei Yan had entered the palace, the situation in the palace would be balanced.

But now, she would definitely not agree to include Wei Yan in the harem, otherwise, if Wei Yan entered the palace, he would become the dominant family, which would not be good for the harem or the court.

But the emperor's thoughts... Therefore, she put all the eye medicine on in advance, not afraid that the emperor would not listen to these words.

The emperor had his own selfishness in this matter, and wanted to be wary of Marquis Yongning's thoughts, so he must be easily swayed from side to side, worrying about gains and losses.As long as she gave the emperor a reason, a high-sounding reason, the emperor would be able to convince himself to do certain things, and even if the emperor did so, he would never think that he was wrong.

To put it bluntly, she was taking advantage of people's hearts by doing so.

After she had said so much, seeing the emperor's expression finally showed hesitation, she knew that he was hesitating, and continued to make persistent efforts: "The Ai family knows that His Majesty can control the situation, but why give him this chance? Trust this kind of Things that can't stand any test. As long as His Majesty doesn't give him a chance to fail, he will never fail His Majesty, isn't that good?"

Jing Li was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "The queen mother's palace is a bit deserted, I raised Qi'er in the queen mother's palace, what does the queen mother think?"

The queen mother was also silent for a moment when she heard the words.

She looked at the emperor's expression, but she still couldn't feel the emperor's emotion.

There are various subtexts in this decision of the emperor. As for how to figure it out, it is up to each individual.

The most plain meaning is probably that the prince should be used in exchange for the empress dowager not to take too much care of these matters.

The queen mother found that the emperor had finally matured.In the harem and court, all kinds of fights come and go, but fighting without breaking, and finding a balance that is acceptable to both is the highest state of political fighting.

"Just follow His Majesty's will." She thought for a moment and accepted the emperor's proposal.

"Mother, take a good rest. I still have something to do, so I will leave first." After finishing what was said, Jing Li quickly stood up and bowed to leave.

However, the Empress Dowager said so much today, and some words really touched his heart.

Jing Li returned to her bedroom, her face was expressionless, but her heart just felt bad.

"Your Majesty, these seals are cured, do you want to see them?" Gao Yong, who has served him for many years, came in with a box in his hand and asked.

"Take it over and have a look."

"Yes."

Gao Yong stepped forward, put the box in his hand on the desk, and helped the emperor open the box.

There are six small seals in the box, three are Shoushan stones and three are Qingtian stones.

Shoushan stone small seal, the seal stones used are Tianhuang steatite, peach blossom steatite and hibiscus steatite.The three Qingtian stones are Dengguangdong, Fengmenqing, and Lanqingtian.

These seal stones are all famous stones, with soft color and smooth and pleasant touch. They are really rare and good products.

Jing Li took out these small seals one by one, played with them for a while, carefully read the words engraved on the seal stone, put them back again, closed the box, and said to Gao Yong:

"Send someone to send it to the Marquis of Yongning."

"Your Majesty, this servant has someone to bring a message to Marquis Yongning, let him go back to the palace tonight." Gao Yong watched his face and suggested in a low voice.

The emperor's mood is very low, but as long as Yongninghou is around, he will probably get better.

"No need, he has a lot of things to do there, let him stay in the mansion for a few more days." Jing Li still hasn't figured out how to do this, at this time, he doesn't want to see Wei Yan.

From his standpoint, what the queen mother said is very reasonable, but from Wei Yan's standpoint, Wei Yan probably doesn't want things to turn out like this.

Never disappoint?

He muttered the word silently and smiled slightly.

Power is something that will definitely change people. He doesn't understand this.Maybe one day, Wei Yan will change beyond recognition, and they will fight each other for these things every day. At that time, he may regret it.

Thinking of this, Jing Li had to admit that his mother's ability to control people's hearts is still so good.

When the emperor was extremely entangled in what the queen mother had to say, Wei Yan and the others in Yongning Hou's mansion had lunch and started the handover matters in the mansion.

Laixi's ancestor was an old man who served the first generation of Zhongyonghou, and was given the surname Wei, so Laixi should be called Wei Laixi. The old Hou asked Wei Yan to change his name. He didn't come up with a good name, so he changed his name to Wei Lai.

Therefore, Wei Lai, the chief steward of Wei, took office just like that. The first thing the chief steward did after he took office was to accompany Yongning Hou and hand over things like the account book, keys, and inner vault with Chief Fuxiang.

In addition to the mansion, the emperor also rewarded several farm shops, all of which were recorded one by one.

Old Hou Ye and Liu's family were worried that Wei Yan would not be able to support the family at first, but they were just worrying blindly. For those who left the palace, the emperor was not stingy with rewards, so he would definitely not be stingy with Wei Yan.

"Master Hou, let the servants teach these people well, lest they can't serve Master Hou well." After the handover in the main courtyard, Fuxiang looked down upon those who took over, and asked for help very enthusiastically.

"Then there will be Manager Lao Fuxiang." Wei Yan thanked him.

Fuxiang is the deputy chief executive of Qianqing Palace, but according to official practice, no one will particularly emphasize the word "deputy" unless the principal and deputy chief executives appear together.

In this way, everyone in Yongning Hou's mansion was very busy with handovers, teachings and teachings.

On this day, the emperor sent someone to reward a box of small seals, and on the second day, the emperor's imperial decree and plaque were delivered together.

The middle door of the Marquis of Yongning's mansion was opened wide, and after receiving the imperial edict, the imperial plaque was hung high above the main entrance, two large strings of firecrackers were set off, and two baskets of copper coins were scattered, Wei Yan officially opened the mansion.

However, apart from having a meal with the rest of the Wei family, Wei Yan didn't entertain any guests, so he acted very low-key.

On the third day, Wei Yan went to the Guards Battalion to resume his post.

His position before exile was the deputy commander of the Guards Battalion, which was a second-rank official position, and now the emperor asked him to reinstate him, which is the position he was reinstated.

After the reinstatement, all kinds of human relations are complicated and cumbersome, so there is no need to go into details.

When Wei Yan was in a hurry, the affairs in the palace were also proceeding in an orderly manner, since Li Zhaoyi invited him out of the palace
