Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"You don't mind, I mind." Seeing that Wei Yan was so stupid and didn't think for himself at all, Qi Yuanheng became even less fond of the emperor.

"Brother Qi, I'm sorry. If Brother Qi wants to sever friendship with me today, I have nothing to say." Wei Yan originally wanted to save their friendship, but he was afraid that Qi Yuanheng's relationship with him would implicate Qi Yuanheng He didn't want to say these words in his heart, but he still said them out of his mouth.

"Cutting off the seat and handing over your head!" Qi Yuanheng scolded him bitterly, "I don't need to say more about this matter, I also know that it must be his fault, since it is his fault, naturally he should bear it This responsibility."

When this matter broke out, the emperor is respectful and Wei Yan is humble, so if they don't do anything, the blame will probably be concentrated on Wei Yan in the end.The emperor was clearly the culprit, but because of his noble status, he could stand on the dry bank and enjoy the scenery, but Wei Yan was about to fall into the river and wet his shoes. Qi Yuanheng definitely couldn't tolerate such a thing, and wanted to do something.

"Brother Qi!" Wei Yan understood the meaning of his words and couldn't help being anxious, "I know all about how Brother Qi treats me, but I really don't need to do anything more. I really don't want Your Majesty's reputation to be so Damaged. Besides, in my heart, I don’t think it’s a mistake, gossip can’t hurt me at all. Does Brother Qi think I’ve done something wrong?”

Wei Yan was unwilling that day, but the emperor ignored his wishes. It was naturally wrong to treat him like this, but now that they have mutual intentions, Wei Yan does not think it is wrong.But this matter is too shocking, and the world may not be able to understand it. If the matter is pushed to the emperor, the emperor will probably become angry and bloody when faced with the accusations of his subjects all over the world. No, he wants to calm things down more.

"Of course I don't think you are wrong, but you think about him so much, does he treat you sincerely? You cherish his reputation so much, does he know? He thinks about you, is he willing to cherish your reputation?" Qi Yuanheng Still angry.

This matter, there must be someone among them to take care of it, if it can't be pushed on the emperor's head, it will fall on Wei Yan's head.However, Wei Yan is now voluntarily taking responsibility, and the tone in Qi Yuanheng's heart cannot be calmed down.

"Your Majesty, of course he treats me sincerely." To this question, Wei Yan answered very resolutely.

Qi Yuanheng looked at him speechlessly, feeling powerless all over.

The emperor is talented, intelligent, quick-witted, and full of powers and tricks. When such a person deliberately plays with others, it is easier than drinking water. Wei Yan actually believes that the emperor treats him sincerely?

Qi Yuanheng felt that the word "stupid" could no longer be used to describe Wei Yan.

"This matter will come up because someone is behind it, which means that other people don't care about the emperor's reputation at all. Why do you care so much?" Qi Yuanheng didn't give up, and talked about this matter with Wei Yan again.

Those people acted in such a way that they clearly didn't take the emperor's reputation into consideration, but wanted to use this matter to make the emperor bow his head and give in. Why did Wei Yan care about this?As long as Wei Yan does not object, Qi Yuanheng will naturally have a way to create public opinion and push this matter on the emperor's head. Wei Yan will also become a victim in this matter.

Of course, if you do this, the hat of a faint king will definitely be worn on the emperor's head.

However, Qi Yuanheng already thought that the emperor was a fool, and he didn't feel sorry for such consequences.

"Brother Qi, other people are other people, and I am me." Wei Yan originally thought that this matter would spread naturally. After all, there were too many people in the hunting ground that day, and it was impossible to shut everyone up. Don't talk about it, it will be a matter of time before it spreads, but at this time, according to Qi Yuanheng's meaning, someone is behind the scenes, "Brother Qi, do you know who is behind the scenes?"

"Whoever doesn't want to leave the palace is the one who is behind the scenes!" Qi Yuanheng became even more angry when he said this.

Since the emperor wants to disband the harem, he should do it more neatly. Now that the job is halfway done, but someone stabbed him in the back, it seems that he is about to give up halfway. It is simply too incompetent.

"Is this impossible?" Wei Yan couldn't believe it.

The concubines really don't want to go out of the palace, so if they plead with the emperor, the emperor will definitely not force them. Is it necessary to do such a thing?When this incident broke out, even if he stood in the front, if he was accused by others, he would inevitably bring it on to the emperor and damage the emperor's reputation. It would be too disregarding for the concubines to do so.

"You are willing to be wronged, but others don't want to be wronged. It is obviously the emperor's fault, but the emperor wants them to accept their fate. Why do they accept this fate? Anyway, even if you have a falling out with the emperor, as long as the emperor wants to show face, you can't put it down. How about them, besides, there is nothing worse for them than being kicked out of the palace, why don't they give it a go?" Qi Yuanheng said with a cold snort.

"Your Majesty, he..." Wei Yan wanted to explain that this matter was not the emperor's fault. The emperor thought of condemning them to go home because of their consideration, but even Qi Yuanheng couldn't say anything about it, so He swallowed the words again, and sighed, "Your Majesty's temper... Since they don't want to leave the palace, they should tell His Majesty well, and His Majesty will agree. They will not have a good life."

What Wei Yan wanted from the emperor, he was begging the emperor most of the time, even if he followed the emperor, the emperor would do whatever he wanted from time to time, and if he refused to follow the emperor, how could it end well?

"Wei Qi, which side are you on?" Qi Yuanheng became more and more suspicious as he listened, "You said, Your Majesty treats you sincerely, because you want to disband the harem, but for them to stay, listen to your tone, you don't agree. be opposed to?"

Wei Yan was caught by his question all of a sudden, he thought about the relationship in it seriously, and instantly became a little confused.

The reason for this was that the emperor was in poor health and could not visit the harem. He didn't want the concubines to be lonely and withered, so he thought about letting them go out. If there are concubines who really don't want to go out, he will definitely not object, and the emperor probably won't either. be opposed to.

It was for their own good to let them go out. Since they feel bad, they must not force it.

However, it seems that he should support the banishment of all concubines from the palace, which is more in line with his current status, which can allow the emperor to dismiss the harem?

Wei Yan thought about it for a while, and when he figured out the relationship, he felt a little ashamed.

"Brother Qi, there's no need to make such a fuss about this matter. I'll go to the palace first. You don't have to do anything. I'll talk about it when I come back." Wei Yan stood up, talked to Qi Yuanheng, and hurried back to the main courtyard to change clothes went.

This matter cannot be delayed, it must be suppressed first, not only for his own good, but also for the good of the emperor, and even more for the good of the concubines and their families.

When Wei Yan changed his clothes and entered the palace, in Zhaoren Hall, Jing Li was reading the secret report from the secret guard.

He read half a page, snorted coldly, and slapped the palm of his hand on the table, which made the lid of the teacup on the table slam.

"Your Majesty, your hand?" Gao Yong stepped forward and asked with concern before removing the teacup and wiping off the water stains on the table.

"It's okay! Hmph, they're all bastards who don't know how to live or die!" Jing Li threw the secret report on the desk, leaned on the backrest, and muttered.

Although he wanted to get rid of the harem and live a good life with Wei Yan, he did not think that he was being mean. He gave all the compensation he should give for titles and property. They wanted to drag Wei Yan into it, so naturally they were all assholes.

As for his unwillingness to pity their calf-licking, unwilling to consider their various embarrassments, and secretly using his wrists to force them to leave the palace, he is also quite an idiot. He will definitely not take such things to heart.

He would only use this gesture of guilt when he needed to achieve certain goals. Usually, he would not have such a high level of awareness.

"Come here, send an order to the Governor of Kyoto, and anyone who criticizes Cheng Yu will be disrespectful and beheaded."

Disrespect is one of the heinous felonies. Many things can be included in this crime. Depending on the crime, they may be punished by exile, hanging or beheading. Those who criticize Chengyu, Chengyu is the emperor's car, referring to the emperor. That is to say, those who accused Sang Huai of accusing the emperor would be beheaded according to the law.

"Yes." The servant who delivered the decree received the decree, and soon went out to issue the decree.

"Gao Yong!" He made this decree, and the bad breath in his heart still couldn't go away, and he started to attack other people.

"The old slave is here!" Seeing his appearance, Gao Yong didn't dare to persuade him with a word, but just bent down and obeyed.

"Declaration to the east and west twelve palaces, I will give them one night to pack their things, and those who have not left the palace before noon tomorrow will all be put in limbo."

Hmph, you don't want to leave the palace, do you? That's fine, he will make them happy, and they will never want to leave the palace again.

"Yes."

Gao Yong led the order to go out, and the other servants in the hall even cautiously lowered their gasps.

Ever since Marquis Yongning returned to Beijing, the emperor's temper has improved a lot, and he no longer has a gloomy face all the time, making people feel terrified when he sees it. Unexpectedly, this time the outbreak will be more violent than before.

These servants began to hope that the sky would get dark soon.

When Marquis Yongning left the Yamen and returned to the palace, the emperor's mood would probably improve.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Queen Mother heard the news reported by the female official Wang Shangyi, and couldn't help but slapped the teacup in her hand on the table.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry with these people!" Wang Shangyi quickly took the Queen Mother's hand, checked it carefully, and was relieved when he found that there was no damage.

"Hmph...can't get on the table!" The Empress Dowager had expected that some people would not want to leave the palace, and persuaded the emperor not to overdo it, and let those who wanted to stay stay, but the emperor refused to listen, and now Well, I actually got this thing involved.

When she was angry with the emperor, she would blame the emperor for acting absurdly and recklessly, but at this moment, seeing that the absurd things about the emperor were about to be exposed, she began to blame those people again.

"The Ai family knows that they feel wronged in their hearts, so they want to do this, but in life, unsatisfactory things happen nine out of ten, who can not be wronged? The Ai family is the empress dowager, and even if they have to be wronged, let alone other people! Could it be that Mrs. Xie No grievances? Didn’t the Wei family and the Marquis of Yongning have any grievances? Even the emperor, who is honored as the Ninth Five-Year Lord, should be wronged when it’s time for him to be wronged! Just because of this grievance, the emperor’s reputation will be trampled on the ground. , so ignorant of the general situation, dare to think about things that shouldn't be thought about, all of them don't know how to live or die." The queen mother said coldly.

"Your Majesty's words are very true!" Wang Shangyi quite agrees with this point.

In this palace, when you should be wronged, you have to be wronged.

Back then, the empress felt wronged, but no matter how much she tossed about, she always cared about the face of the royal family. Even if she wanted the Marquis of Yongning to die, she would never bring this matter up.When this incident happened, the reputation of Marquis Yongning was nothing, the real embarrassment was the emperor, the royal family.

The third ministers of the Wei family, the heroes of the founding of the country, once this incident comes out, the house will be humiliated and the face will be disgraced, and there will naturally be many grievances in their hearts, but for so many years, do they dare to say a word?Whether they are willing or not, they still have to find a way to make this matter round.

Even the Marquis of Yongning himself, why didn't he feel wronged, but did he say anything?

This is the general approach.

Now that someone is making trouble like this regardless, it's really too ignorant of the general situation.
