Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"What's going on here?"

"Master Hou, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk."

Seeing this scene, Marquis Yongning stopped in his tracks to inquire. The servant who had been clever for a long time helped him open the warm curtain at the entrance of the hall, and politely invited him in.

Wei Yan hesitated for a moment, then lifted his footsteps and continued to walk forward.When he entered the hall, Director Gao Yonggao commanded a group of people to surround him, helped him take off his outer thick clothes, changed into a lighter jacket, brought him warm water, cleaned his face, and washed him. I took off my feet and changed into clean tabi socks and sandals.

Soon, Wei Yan changed from formal attire for going out to casual at home.

This group of people retreated, and the maid who combed his hair asked him to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, helped him loose his martial crown, and prepared to wear a lighter bun.

Gao Yong stepped forward, waved his hand, and signaled her to go out. After everyone left, he walked behind Yongninghou, picked up the comb on the desk, and combed Yongninghou's hair.

"It's Mr. Gao." Wei Yan looked at him from the bronze mirror and asked, "Mr. Gao, what's going on outside?"

"Master Hou, I don't know if Master Hou has noticed, how many sets of clothes does Lord Hou have, and the color matches His Majesty's clothes?" Gao Yong held the comb and combed his hair earnestly. Instead of answering his question, he said Something irrelevant happened.

After being reminded by Director Gao, Wei Yan suddenly remembered what he thought was very strange when he was in the Xishan hunting ground.

At first, he thought it was a coincidence that the colors of his and the emperor's hunting uniforms complemented each other so well, so he let it go. Now, listening to Director Gao's tone, this is not a coincidence, but man-made?

"remember."

"The Marquis, do you know that these clothes are all complete sets, the main material and accessories are made from the same two bolts of cloth, which complement each other." Gao Yong continued to talk about the clothes.

Wei Yan did not expect the truth to be like this!

There are various regulations on the emperor's clothes. Even if the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs want to please the emperor, they dare not make their own decisions. Ninety-nine out of [-] people who do such boring things are ordered by the emperor.

The emperor... Wei Yan wanted to say a few words about the emperor, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know what to say.

The emperor had the urge to show their relationship to others, but from Wei Yan's point of view, this was an irrational behavior.Maybe it was because he said he liked it, and the emperor was happy for a while, so he had this idea.

After a while, when the emperor calmed down, he would naturally know what to do, which would be the best.

Since he couldn't do other things, it was the emperor's helpless move to declare their relationship in such a very secret place.He still has to blame the emperor for this matter, which is a bit too incomprehensible.

Wei Yan felt that he was already a very mature man, and now he could handle the matter with the emperor well. He thought about this matter carefully and decided to let the emperor go.

He is older than the emperor, and the emperor wants to be naive occasionally, and if he wants to get entangled in such details, let the emperor secretly be happy, and he won't say anything more, so as not to spoil the emperor's interest again.

To put it bluntly, this matter is really not a big deal.

However, how are these clothes made, and what does it have to do with the things outside? Could it be that the two maids in the sewing room outside ruined these clothes?

"What happened to the clothes?" he asked suddenly.

Gao Yong held the hand of the comb, he could not help but pause.

The emperor is now so worried about gains and losses, and is extremely entangled. It is not without reason that he does not feel appropriate to do anything. In fact, Yongninghou has indeed changed a lot.If it was before, the Marquis of Yongning would definitely not be able to react so quickly. The problem lies in these clothes.

It's not that Marquis Yongning is stupid, but that he is a bit of a dandy and nobleman, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these trivial matters.

When did Marquis Yongning learn to worry about these things?

"Master Hou, do you know that all the people in the palace who want to make progress want to get the opportunity to serve His Majesty closely?" Gao Yong didn't answer his question directly, but continued to talk about irrelevant things.

"I know." Of course Wei Yan knew about these things.

The emperor's likes and dislikes can affect too many things.He already understood this truth.It should come as no surprise that other people must have understood this as well.

"However, there is a quota for the number of people who are close to your Majesty's side. In the past, someone relied on his cleverness and accidentally won His Majesty's favor, and His Majesty would give him an extra promotion. This person can skip years of hard work and get ahead early. But in the past few years, His Majesty has not done this kind of thing for a long time. When there is a vacancy, the old slave fills in as usual, and when there is no vacancy, it is these people who serve." Gao Yong said.

In the past, when Marquis Yongning was by the emperor's side, except for the times when he quarreled with Marquis Yongning, the emperor was happy most of the time, so he was naturally interested in doing these things.Later, the Marquis of Yongning was exiled, and the emperor was busy gathering power, so he had no interest in worrying about these trivial matters, which were all Gao Yong's responsibility.

When the emperor is interested in caring about these things, it is inevitable that when he has a whim, from time to time, he has to follow his heart and pick whoever he wants, but Gao Yong complements others as a rule, and qualifications and abilities are indispensable , Some people who are looking forward to getting ahead, wait for the opportunity to take a shortcut, and are about to take risks.

"I know all of this. Manager Gao, please speak up." Wei Yan didn't want to listen to Manager Gao making big circles anymore.

"Today, when His Majesty was standing in front of the window of the small study, he heard faint voices coming from outside the window..." Gao Yong laid the groundwork for a long time, and seeing that he was getting impatient, he finally got to the point.

In the main hall where the emperor lived, screens or other things were used to divide the living area into many places with different uses, including a small study.The small study is facing the window, and there is a wide corridor outside, and a little further away, there is a field of low flowers and trees.

For safety reasons, the flowers and trees planted in most places in the palace are low and cannot hide people, and the emperor's palace is no exception.

When the weather was fine, when the two windows were opened, the emperor could see the scenery in the distance just by turning his head while sitting behind the desk. It was a relaxed and tired place.In his spare time, the emperor occasionally came here to sit, smear a few strokes, and relax.

At this time, the winter solstice was approaching, and when winter came, most of the flowers and trees were withered. In addition to the cold weather, the two windows were closed.

Today, the emperor sat here, drew a few strokes with a pen, then put down the pen impatiently, and called Gao Yong to open the window.

Gao Yong served the emperor when he was a baby. It can be said that he watched him grow up. He naturally knew that the emperor was very depressed and wanted to breathe, so he asked him to open the window.

At this time, he would not persuade him if he should persuade him on weekdays, so as not to make himself miserable.

He answered yes, moved the brazier to the desk, walked to the window, and opened it.

As soon as the window was opened, something happened.

Originally the window was closed, so no movement outside could be heard, but when it was opened, there was a faint voice coming from outside.

Gao Yong stood at the window and looked out for a few times, but he didn't see anyone. He was about to ask someone to check it out. Someone was making noise outside, and he found that the emperor had also walked to the window at some time.

The person who spoke probably stood a little far away, but he should have been standing at the upper air outlet, so one or two sentences were brought over by the north wind.

Gao Yong's ears were not as good as those of young people, so he only heard voices, but didn't hear what they were saying clearly, only heard "clothes" once or twice.

The emperor stood by the window, listened for a while, and suddenly said: "What clothes? Go, bring someone here, and ask carefully!"

The emperor became interested. If he wanted to ask about this case, could Gao Yong not let him ask?Moreover, someone wanted to kill himself, deliberately stood in such a place where the emperor might hear, and said these things, could he still cry and stop people from committing suicide?

Definitely not.

Without saying a word, Gao Yong went out to order people to do things. Not long after, the two people who were talking were brought over by the servants.

After asking this question, I realized that these two people were court ladies in charge of the emperor's clothes.These two maids are blaming each other, who broke a suit of clothes.

"What clothes? Gao Yong, send someone to bring them over and let me have a look." The emperor was not in a hurry to decide whether this was right or wrong, but asked someone to present the physical evidence first.

When the matter came to this point, Gao Yong felt that their attempt to die was probably going to succeed.

Why does Gao Yong think that these two are trying to kill?

It's not just because the emperor is in a bad mood right now, he's ignorant, and he's going to take it out on him if he bumps into him.

Another big reason is that a batch of the emperor's clothes is made every month, and some of them are worn once. As long as the maids who serve him don't take them out and change them for him, it is impossible for him to think of this clothes at all. It is also impossible to specify which clothes to wear today.

Unless it's the emperor's royal clothes, other clothes will be broken if they are damaged, and there is no need to repair them. As long as they don't say anything, they will stuff them in the corner, and after a while, report a reason that the color is outdated and unusable. Things can be prevaricated.

The emperor worried about so many things every day, that is, the affairs of Yongninghou, because he loved Yongninghou in his heart, so he would worry about it. How could he have the energy to pay attention to everything else?

There are rules for what clothes the emperor should change when he goes to court, and what clothes he needs to change when he goes to court. If he changed his body, the emperor would never know about it.

Don't these two people understand these principles?

I definitely understand everything, but I still want to make trouble, and I want to make trouble in front of the emperor, but I just want to take the opportunity to show my face.

Although these little maids in charge of clothes are regarded as people in the emperor's palace, they rarely have the opportunity to see the emperor, because the emperor can't often go to the side hall where the clothes are stored. Before he had to speak, someone who could wink would fetch it for him.

Since they couldn't see the emperor, some people who wanted to take a shortcut had to create an opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor.

However, it is a common thing in the palace to show one's face and lose one's face. Some people are not reconciled, so they must try. Gao Yong will definitely not stop him.

He quickly had the physical evidence brought over.

That dress, I don't know if it was improperly washed or stored improperly, the color on the skirt is a little hazy.

The emperor looked at the physical evidence presented, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "I remember, does the Marquis of Yongning also have a piece of clothing that matches this one?"

When Gao Yong heard what he said, his heart skipped a beat. If this matter is investigated seriously, some people may not only lose face, but also lose their lives.

This matter can be big or small, although a piece of clothing is damaged, it is the emperor's clothes, but to be honest, as long as the emperor is not angry, it is not a big deal, at most it is a matter of hitting the board a few times and fined a few months of salary .

But once the Marquis of Yongning was involved, and it was a complete set of clothes, the emperor would have to think too much about just one piece being destroyed.

Ever since the emperor went to pay his respects to the empress dowager, I don't know what the empress dowager said to the emperor. The emperor is still depressed, with gloomy looks in his eyes from time to time, and the Marquis of Yongning is always busy, leaving early and returning late every day. I didn't realize that the emperor's mood was very wrong.

When the Marquis of Yongning was here, the emperor was in a pretty good mood, but once the Marquis of Yongning was out of the palace, the emperor would feel all sorts of things wrong, and he would often feel upset when he was doing something well.

The emperor hasn't found anyone to lose his temper until now. It's not that his temper has improved, but that he has become more complicated and elusive.

"The old slave is getting old, and his memory is not as good as His Majesty's, and he can't remember clearly." Gao Yong didn't dare to say yes, and he didn't dare to say no, he just said with a smile.

Although these little bastards are so short-sighted, it is not a pity to die, but it is better not to see blood just because of a piece of clothing, lest the Marquis of Yongning find out about this matter, and he will make a fuss about the emperor again. Even more unhappy.

"Who is in charge of this matter, call in and ask." The emperor continued to order without comment.

Soon, the grand maid who was in charge of the emperor's clothing and other matters was announced into the palace.

If the emperor didn't know about it, others would definitely not have deliberately reminded the emperor of this trivial matter, but when the emperor asked about it, the palace maid dared not lie the slightest bit and admitted that it was indeed a piece of clothing.

There are actually many sets of clothes that the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make. When he was with Marquis Yongning, he would occasionally think of this, but usually, he would never think of it.

The people who serve him know his secret thoughts, and in order to please him, they will help him remember this matter, but there is really no shortage of this kind of clothes. If he wants to achieve the effect the emperor wants, he needs to change new clothes every day , Even after changing for a month, there will be no repetition.

In the final analysis, if someone wants to bring this kind of thing in front of the emperor, he is really doing his own death.

For the little maid under her command who is so ignorant, so restless to do things seriously, and eager to get ahead, the eldest maid is also very helpless.

"Your Majesty, it's the slave who can't teach well, so please punish me." The palace lady obediently admitted her mistake and asked for punishment.

"Hmm... there is no way to teach, and you will be fined with three months' salary, the two of them..." The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said, "The two of them, strip off their coats, and kneel outside until it gets dark. "

The two maids wanted to say something, but Gao Yong winked, someone came forward, covered their tongues, and dragged them down.

If the emperor was in a good mood, he would probably have the heart to seriously decide the right and wrong. Now, he intervened in this kind of lawsuit, but he was in a bad mood and wanted to vent his anger on them. He didn't order them to be killed on the spot. It was already their ancestors' blessing , continue to be ignorant, it will only make them die faster.

While talking, Gao Yong combed Hou Yongning's hair, and when he tied Hou Yongning's hair in a bun, took the jade hairpin from the table, and fixed the bun, he had finished talking about these things.

When Wei Yan heard this, he knew all the causes and consequences. He meditated for a moment and asked:

"Director Gao, I have some doubts in my heart. I don't know if I should ask or not?"

"Master Hou, please tell me! As long as this old slave knows something, this old slave will definitely explain it to Master Hou."

"Your Majesty...why is he angry?"

Isn't it just a piece of clothing, even if it is a complete set of clothing, it is still a piece of clothing after all, why is it necessary for the emperor to be so harsh?Not to mention the emperor, even other families would not be so harsh on the servants around him for a piece of clothing.

The tolerant laughed and scolded a few words, and let it go, the harsh ones would fine them some money at most, so that they would have a long memory, and they would let it go.

Even if they had the intention of making trouble in front of the emperor on purpose, they were not the only ones who wanted to do this. If the emperor didn't like it, he just condemned them to go out. There is no need for such a heavy punishment, right?

Now that the emperor is so angry, there must be reasons why Wei Yan doesn't know.

Gao Yong looked at the person in the bronze mirror.

Marquis Yongning's appearance hasn't changed much, and his state of mind... Ever since the emperor pampered him, he couldn't help but want to act like a baby with the emperor, his state of mind hasn't changed much either.

Some things are ultimately the fault of the emperor. Marquis Yongning never blamed and resented the emperor because of the exile or suffering outside. He is still willing to be with the emperor and live a good life. In fact, it is a great blessing.The emperor is now so worried about gains and losses, it is clear that he is looking forward to Shu, and he is not greedy enough.

However, if the emperor wanted to be so greedy, it was difficult for them who were slaves to persuade him.

However, in some places, the emperor's worry was not unreasonable, and the Marquis of Yongning had indeed changed.

In the past, he didn't think so much, but now, probably because he also cares about the emperor, he has become more concerned about gains and losses.

"Your Majesty thinks this is a bad omen, so you have to ask God's will. And there is something, His Majesty is always hesitant, don't know what to do, but also want to ask God's will." Gao Yong is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally knew , Why on earth did the emperor do this.

The emperor ordered people to make these clothes in order to bring a good omen, and wanted to be with Marquis Yongning for a long time, never to be separated. Now that someone has made him suffer so badly, how could he bear it?

This is one of them.

Second, I am afraid it is because of what the queen mother said to the emperor.

"Ask God's will?"

Wei Yan recited the word silently several times in his heart before he understood the meaning of Mr. Gao's words.

It was still an hour or two before dark, and the two maids, dressed in single clothes, knelt outside. They should not have frozen to death on the spot, but they would inevitably suffer from a serious illness afterwards.Once they fell ill, they would be moved out of the emperor's bedroom. It was a matter of death or not.

A person who is smart on weekdays and has someone to help him with medical care, food and clothing, probably won’t die, but a person who is not smart enough and doesn’t have a good karma, the result is very uncertain.

When the nobles in the palace don't want to see blood and don't care much about the lives and deaths of these people, they will use this method to punish those who make mistakes.Similar methods, as well as people kneeling outside in the hot sun, can also get the same effect.

If God wants them to die, they will die. If God doesn't want to accept their lives, they can escape from death. This is the so-called asking God's will.

As for these nobles, what answers they want to get from their lives and deaths is another matter.

Wei Yan was not surprised that the emperor would do such a thing.The emperor loves him, so he will put him in his heart and is willing to think about him in everything. For those who are not loved by the emperor, their life and death are not a big deal to the emperor at all.

"Director Gao, after you have said so much, do you want to persuade me not to be troublesome?" He was silent for a while, then asked again.

In this matter, Director Gao said a lot of things back and forth, explaining everything clearly. Such straightforwardness is not the usual practice in the palace.

People in the palace always leave a little bit of leeway when speaking.They talk a lot, but they only speak half of it. Whether others can understand what they say, and whether they can correctly understand the meaning behind what they say, is other people's business.

"Master Hou, do you know what the consequences will be if you act against His Majesty's will?" Gao Yong asked him instead without answering.

"Of course I know." Of course Wei Yan knew what would happen if he angered the emperor, even if he really didn't know, there are ready-made examples outside, so go and have a look and you'll understand.

"Would you regret doing this, Lord Hou?" Gao Yong asked again.

Their gazes met together in the bronze mirror, and they didn't say a lot of things directly. Maybe, now, there are some things that don't need to be said explicitly, and they understand each other.

"Some things, I just want a clear conscience." Wei Yan looked at him for a while, stood up, and walked inside.

"Since Master Hou knows the consequences and still wants to do this, then do it according to Master Hou's idea." Gao Yong looked at his back and said one last sentence.

God's will cannot be questioned, but people's hearts can still be asked.Moreover, whether the emperor wants to ask whether it is the will of heaven or the human heart, I am afraid that the emperor knows best in his heart.

Marquis Yongning will definitely return to the palace today, even if he didn't plan to come back, the emperor will send someone to call him back, but Marquis Yongning returning to the palace early is part of God's will.And when he saw this scene, whether he was willing to open his mouth to intercede for others was related to people's hearts.

Although people's hearts are changeable, maybe there really is something that the emperor wants to never change.

However, the emperor himself had changed so much that he planned to use this kind of thing to test the reaction of Yongning Hou. He still hoped that Yongning Hou would never change. He didn't know whether it was Yongning Hou who was stupid or the emperor who was even more stupid.

Gao Yong stood outside, thinking about these things in silence.

When Wei Yan entered the inner hall, he felt a burst of warmth hit his face. It was obviously much warmer here than outside.

He settled down, walked around the curtain, and took a few steps to the right, and saw the emperor sitting behind the case, flipping through the memorial.

"Your Majesty, Wan An!" He bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Get up." The emperor lowered his head, looked at the memorial, and replied casually.

"Your Majesty, it's almost the holidays, it's not appropriate to kill, so let's spare them this time." Hearing his voice, Wei Yan didn't look very angry, and begged for mercy.

"Get up and come to me." Jing Li didn't say yes or no, but raised his head and glanced at him.

"Your Majesty, they are so stupid, just punish them, there is no need to be so harsh." Wei Yan knelt on the ground, did not move, and persuaded again.

Jing Li remained expressionless for a while, guessing that his posture should have put enough pressure on Wei Yan, and then said again: "Come here."

"Your Majesty..." Wei Yan still refused to move.

"What happened, Gao Yong told you?" Jing Li's voice gradually cooled down.

"Yes, Director Gao has already told Chen."

"Even so, you still want to intercede for them?"

"Yes, it's not that I don't know what is good or bad, and deliberately opposed His Majesty, but that their crimes are not worthy of death. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

"Wei Yan, even if you know that doing this will make me angry, are you willing to do so?"

"His Majesty……"

Wei Yan's "Your Majesty" yelled that Jing Li almost lost his power for a moment, his posture of not being angry but mighty, under Wei Yan's pleading eyes, he could hardly pretend anymore.

He found that this was not possible, Wei Yan, an idiot, always took it for granted that he should be nice to him, and he should agree to all his requests.

Jing Li doesn't know why Wei Yan has such an idea, but Wei Yan thinks so.Once he refused to agree to Wei Yan's request, Wei Yan must feel extremely wronged.

In the past, Jing Li was so inexplicably defeated by Wei Yan's grievances. Now, Wei Yan clearly wants to use this trick again.

He raised his hand, rubbed his face, and took a deep breath before trying to maintain his expression.

"Wei Yan!"

"The minister is here."

"There is one thing, I have always wanted to ask you, have you ever regretted that you wanted to speak for Sun Ke that day?"

If there is no Sun Ke case, there will be others. Of course, Jing Li understands this.However, it is also true that it was because of Wei Yan's involvement in Sun Ke's case that he angered his mother, separated in the next few years, and had all the unease now.This is the real reason why Jing Li can't forget about this matter.

"Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience." Wei Yan replied after being silent for a moment.

The cause of this incident was never Sun Ke's case. He understood, but the emperor didn't understand, but sometimes, the emperor clearly didn't want to admit the mistake, so he always wanted to blame others.

Now that he is willing to stay with the emperor, he is naturally too lazy to argue with the emperor about these past matters.

Since the emperor is the chief culprit, he doesn't bother with him anymore, and the others are nothing.

"Do you have a clear conscience? It turns out that what you want is a clear conscience. I understand. Come here, don't make me repeat it."

"Your Majesty, this matter..."

Seeing that he refused to agree and Wei Yan refused to get up, Jing Li then raised his voice and shouted: "Gao Yong!"

"The old slave is here!" Gao Yong didn't come in, but just responded outside.

"Send them out."

"Yes."

"Are you satisfied now? Come here." Wei Yan was satisfied with this matter, and Jing Li was also satisfied.

The words his queen mother said were all poking at his heart, so how could it not have any effect on him?

Now, the Wei family is even more in decline than when Wei Yan had never caught his eye. He was very afraid that Wei Yan would say yes, come back to him, and flatter him so much to help the family recover. he.

He said that he didn't mind Wei Yan being tired by ordinary things, as long as Wei Yan was willing to stay by his side, he would be satisfied, but how could he not mind in his heart, he hoped that Wei Yan would say that he liked him, and even more When Wei Yan said this, it was all out of sincere love, not for the Wei family, or anything else.

If Wei Yan was completely thinking about the Wei family, he would definitely not dare to insist on persuading him and make him angry.Once Wei Yan lost his favor, it would take a lot of effort for the Wei family to recover.

He was afraid that Wei Yan would not understand these reasons, so he specifically asked Gao Yong to explain them to Wei Yan, so that Wei Yan would not understand the reasons and make random choices.

Now, Wei Yan's choice naturally made him very satisfied.

He is not afraid of Wei Yan's persuasion, anyway, many times, Wei Yan's persuasion is in vain, but if Wei Yan doesn't persuade, if he learns to act according to his face in everything, and only wants to please him, he will To feel wrong.

"Your Majesty is holy." Seeing that the emperor finally let go, Wei Yan flattered the emperor a little before getting up and walking to the emperor's side.

"Idiot!" Jing Li shouted idiot, but felt very comfortable in her heart.

He stretched out his hand, took Wei Yan's hand, let Wei Yan sit down beside him, poured him another cup of tea, and delivered it to his hand, he was extremely attentive for a while.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Yan thanked him before taking the teacup with both hands.

He lifted the lid, took a sip, and his brain opened up somewhere. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Your Majesty just mentioned Sun Ke, Sun Zhuangyuan. I don't know what Sun Zhuangyuan is doing now?"

"What do you do?" Jing Li was puzzled.

As for whether he really doesn't understand, or is pretending to be stupid, then the beholder sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.

"Where does Sun Zhuangyuan work now?" Wei Yan thought he was really puzzled, and asked in more detail.

"If you want to know about this kind of thing, you should ask the Ministry of Officials. There are so many officials in the court, how can I remember exactly where everyone is?" The official department.

Wei Yan looked at his expression, pondered for a while, and then said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, I beg you to be reasonable in this matter. When Sun Zhuangyuan was released by you, he suffered an indiscriminate disaster. Later, he was still an indiscriminate disaster. If you don't let him recover now, he will be even more wronged."

Sun Zhuangyuan's ups and downs, and his official career was full of ups and downs, all of which were created by the emperor.Back then, Wei Yan struggled to deal with the emperor, and didn't have the energy to care about external affairs. When he found out, Sun Zhuangyuan had already been released by the emperor.

However, it is actually not a strange thing for the number one scholar to be sent out to become an official close to the people, so he knew it when he knew it, and he didn't realize that the emperor had a ghost in his heart, so he wanted to do this.

Later, when the Sun Ke case broke out, the emperor sent Sun Zhuangyuan away because he didn't like it, and Wei Yan didn't know about it.

Now, looking at the emperor's expression, he knew that Sun Zhuangyuan's fate was probably not good.

Jing Li saw that things were not good, Wei Yan noticed it out of nowhere, and put on a posture to keep an eye on it, he immediately supported his forehead with his palm, and shouted:

"Ouch, I feel a headache, Wei Yan, rub it for me."

"Your Majesty... I beg you not to avoid this topic." Wei Yan expressed his disbelief.

"Ouch, I really hurt." Jing Li continued to moan.

"Where does your majesty hurt, do you want to announce the imperial doctor?" Wei Yan heard him screaming seriously, afraid that he was in real pain, so he didn't dare to ask about it again, so he quickly approached him and looked closely.

"Maybe it's the cold wind blowing in the afternoon, you rub it for me." Jing Li raised his head, kissed him, then took his hand and placed it on his forehead.

What Sun Ke suffered was an indiscriminate disaster, so couldn't Wei Yan also suffer an indiscriminate disaster?

Wei Yan was exiled, but others were high-ranking officials, and they lived happily. Is there such a good thing in this world?

Since he thought so, of course Sun Ke would not have any good fortune.Therefore, although Sun Zhuangyuan was wronged and escaped, he was always at home, waiting to be used.

However, the emperor did not mention this matter, and the officials in the court, because of the Sun Ke case, many relatives, friends and teachers were involved in the same year, and they certainly would not mention it. Sun Zhuangyuan has long been forgotten by the court.

Moreover, if the emperor hadn't mentioned him suddenly, Wei Yan would not have thought to ask him about his recent situation, but since the emperor mentioned it, Wei Yan would have remembered this person, so he had to ask the emperor seriously, what is Sun Zhuangyuan doing now? Well.

The emperor's reaction made him dumbfounded.But he couldn't talk about it too much, as soon as he said this, the emperor would say that he had a cold wind today, he had a headache, and he couldn't listen to people talking so much, so Wei Yan could only shut up obediently.

Jing Li wanted to test Wei Yan, but he almost got himself into it. Finally, relying on his thick skin, he pretended to be sick and stupid, and barely got rid of the entanglement in this matter.

As for why I say reluctantly, because the Winter Solstice Festival is coming, Wei Yan has become very busy, and I don't have time to talk to him about it for the time being.Perhaps when Wei Yan is free one day, he will think of this matter again, and it is very possible to press him again.

The winter solstice is also known as the sub-year. On this day, the emperor will go to the countryside to worship the heavens. All the officials will celebrate the festival. .

Before the emperor moved, the guard battalion moved first. The place for offering sacrifices to heaven was in charge of the Ministry of Works. The etiquette steps of the worship were the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, but the safety and defense was the responsibility of the guard battalion.

In order to experience Wei Yan, Commander Shen Mo let him take charge of many things now. Of course Wei Yan is very busy.

Jing Li was glad that Wei Yan was busy and didn't have time to pick his pigtails, but also dissatisfied that Wei Yan was so busy that he didn't have time to spend time with him, all kinds of entanglements, sometimes happy and sometimes complaining, were also a lot of drama.

In a blink of an eye, it is the winter solstice on November and June.

On this day, the emperor got up early and put on his mianfu under the service of everyone.

This set of crown clothes, worn all over the body, weighs more than ten catties, and the emperor who is a little weak in physical strength, wearing this set all day, will probably collapse from exhaustion.

However, the emperor's crown clothes are not worn all the time, they are only worn formally during various ceremonies. The court clothes are not so heavy, and the regular clothes are mainly light and will not be so troublesome.

Today is the winter solstice, the emperor will appear in such a formal attire.

Jiaotian has a whole set of ceremonies, so I won't go into details about them, anyway, after the ceremonies are over, both the emperor and the officials are exhausted.

Next is vacation.There are five days off in total for the winter festival. No matter how tired the officials are, in such a festive season, and thinking that the holiday is about to come, suffering and tiredness are nothing, and everyone is in a happy mood.

However, the emperor's mood was not so happy.

At the end of the day, the emperor's car did not set off immediately, but announced to Yongninghou to get on the car, and the two of them started talking.

If the emperor doesn't leave, all the officials naturally can't leave. They all wait respectfully and wait for the holy car to be sent off.

However, Shengjia obviously couldn't leave for a while, because the two people in the car were talking to each other.

"What did you say?" Jing Li sat upright, looking at Wei Yan, who was kneeling half-bent beside him, and asked in a cold voice.

"I said, today I want to ask for a leave of absence and go back to my residence for the festival." Wei Yan actually knew that the emperor had heard clearly, so he asked him again to force him to change his words, but he repeated it anyway.

He spent several winter solstice festivals outside, and he wanted to spend this festival with his family.

"Then what about me?" Jing Li was very angry every time he heard him speak so naturally.

Wei Yan is an idiot who always doesn't put him, the emperor, first. You can't let him get used to this problem.

"Your Majesty can celebrate the festival with the Empress Dowager, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to accompany Your Majesty." Wei Yan thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"No." Jing Li refused to accept Wei Yan's bad idea.

"Your Majesty..." Wei Yan begged him softly.

"No, don't use this to deal with me, I tell you, it's useless this time." Jing Li continued to firmly refuse.

"Your Majesty..." Wei Yan continued to beg him softly.

"Forget it, just give me a kiss, and I'll let you go home." Jing Li was a little shaken by his begging, and offered an exchange condition.
