Chronicle of Emperor Jing

When someone wears the stars and wears the moon to run around all night, when someone ponders the king's heart and chooses a position, when someone cleans the farm to welcome the official errands, the emperor in the palace is leisurely enjoying the wonderful feeling of his beloved obediently in his arms.

Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others, which is the best portrayal of this situation.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to get up." The emperor's embrace was very comfortable, warm and reassuring, but Wei Yan couldn't lie down when he thought of those things.

He should send someone to deliver the funeral at the Li family's place, and there are some matters to be dealt with at the guard camp, so he also needs to go back to the mansion.

It's okay if he doesn't want to, but when he thinks about it, things get more and more complicated.

Seeing his frown, Jing Li stretched out his index finger to smooth out the wrinkles on his forehead one by one, and then said: "Today is the annual leave, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished investigating the matter of Shen Quan's collision with the imperial driver."

"I haven't finished the investigation, so I will check it slowly. I don't have a time limit, so don't worry."

"His Majesty……"

Every time the emperor puts on such a rascal appearance, Wei Yan has nothing to do with him.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding, I've told Zhao Shi to do these things, and when he comes back, he'll know what's going on." Seeing that he was about to frown again, Jing Li quickly coaxed him.

"Where did your majesty tell Zhao Shi to go?"

"Heh, these people put on such a posture, don't they just want to accuse you of being a slave to murder? I asked Zhao Shi to find this slave who betrayed the master." Jing Li sneered slightly, and then answer him.

However, he just said this casually, and he didn't say what was in his heart, so as not to worry Wei Yan.

The Wei family now has a family of three marquises, and Wei Yan is the deputy commander of the Jinwei Battalion. He is expected to take over the Jinwei Battalion after Shen Mo's old age. Wei Ze was promoted by him to Zhennan General. Having been in court for so many years and still not failing, he naturally has his strengths. Others need to weigh carefully if they want to move the Wei family.

The best way is to let him, the emperor, feel that the Wei family is so arrogant, domineering, and bullying because of too much power, which makes him suspicious, alienates Wei Yan, suppresses the Wei family, and even It is a good strategy for the Wei family to take action.

Everyone knows that the real foundation of the favor of the Wei family is his love for Wei Yan, as long as he finds a way to make Wei Yan lose his favor, the Wei family will naturally be nothing.

Someone set up this trick in a roundabout way, deliberately letting someone in to sue the imperial court, and stabbing the matter in front of him, for this purpose.

It's not that he thinks that this matter can do anything to Wei Yan. Unless Wei Yan finds out about this kind of thing and protects the person who caused the trouble, he just needs to hand over the person and pay some fines, and he can pass. up.

Jing Li didn't understand these principles.

He has lived with Wei Yan for so many years, and he knows Wei Yan's character well. He knows that Wei Yan is loyal to him, and he is self-disciplined, so he will never do such a thing.

However, the others didn't know that he knew and trusted Wei Yan so much, so they chose an angle that would easily make him jealous.

"Your Majesty thinks there is such a person in the minister's house?" Wei Yan couldn't believe it when he heard the emperor say that.

The people in his house are all old people who have been in the Wei family for many years. Father and mother picked and picked them before sending them to his mansion to work for him. It is unlikely that they would do such a thing.

As for the others, he didn't think too much, and just followed the emperor's voice to think.

"Eighty percent." Jing Li estimated ninety-nine percent, but seeing that Wei Yan was so surprised, he said a little less, "We'll know when Zhao Shi comes back."

"Ah."

The two lay on the couch, gossiped for a while, and didn't get up until the sun rose.

After a not-so-early breakfast, Wei Yan played a few rounds of Shuanglu with the emperor, and it was time for lunch again.

"Recently, I've been so busy that I've lost some weight. Eat more. Come, try this fish ball in clear soup!" Jing Li glanced at Wei Yan, inexplicably felt that Wei Yan had lost weight, and began to instruct the maid to serve Wei Yan dishes.

This fish ball in clear soup is made of herring from Tianshui Lake. The fish meat is chopped into puree and mixed with egg white and other seasonings. The fish balls are tender and white. The soup is dotted with a few small green vegetables and occasionally a few slices of ham. During this period, looking at it makes people feel that their appetite has greatly increased.

Jing Li tasted one and thought it tasted good, so he wanted Wei Yan to eat more.

His own eating habits have been developed over the years. No matter how palatable the meal is, he will not use it too much, and his preferences will not be easily known to others.

But towards Wei Yan, he has a different attitude.

Wei Yan can eat anything as long as it is not forbidden by the imperial doctor Tian, ​​and he can eat what he likes often, so Wei Yan accompanied him to eat, and now most of the dishes on the dining table are Wei Yan's favorite dishes.

"Where is the minister thinner?" Wei Yan didn't recognize the emperor's words.He eats more food than the emperor every day. He is not fat because he has not been fat since he was a child, and he has practiced martial arts all year round, so he looks thin.

"I look thin everywhere." Jing Li chatted with him with great interest.

While they were talking, the maid of cloth cabbage took out a small soup bowl, spooned it down, and scooped up three fish balls, two small green vegetables, and a slice of ham. She put these things into the soup bowl, and then A small spoon was placed in the soup bowl before it was held in front of Yongninghou.

Wei Yan picked up the soup spoon, scooped up a fish ball, put it in his mouth, and bit it lightly, and immediately felt that the taste was delicate and tender, and a umami taste overflowed in his mouth.

He chewed and ate the fish ball slowly, took another spoonful of clear soup and drank it, and then said: "It tastes good, Your Majesty should eat more."

"Okay." Jing Li gave him face and ate another fish ball.

It took a long time for this lunch to be considered over.

"Your Majesty, I want to go back to the residence." After drinking tea and resting for a while, Wei Yan asked the emperor for orders.

"How do you plan to spend this year, do you want to spend it with me?" Jing Li didn't say for sure, but talked about it instead.

Wei Yan was in a dilemma when he heard this.

He has been away from Beijing for more than four years. He misses the emperor and his family, and the emperor and his family also miss him.

This was his first reunion year after he came back, and he really struggled with how to spend it in order to balance both sides.

"Chen..." Wei Yan didn't know what to choose, which was the right one.

"Forget it, you can go back home tonight." Seeing him like this, Jing Li finally couldn't bear it, and decided to help him make a decision, "On New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet in the palace, your parents, elder brother and Minwen, I will announce it together." Come in to attend the night banquet, after the banquet you stay in the palace, is this the head office?"

The emperor's decision can be said to take into account the positions of all parties, and it is very reasonable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For some unknown reason, the emperor often asks him to do this kind of questions that he doesn't know how to choose, but for Wei Yan, he hopes that all those who love him can be taken care of by him, and he doesn't want to face this kind of problem at all. an either-or situation.

"Okay, okay, you can go." Seeing his relieved face, Jing Li felt a little intrusive, waved his hand, and told him to leave quickly.

After Wei Yan left the palace, he went to the Jinwei camp first, explained some things, and then returned to the Yongning Hou Mansion.At this time, Wei Minwen was still in Xifeng County and hadn't come back, only the butler was in the mansion.

He asked the butler to send someone to Li's house to deliver the funeral ceremony before asking about other matters.

"Wei Lai, where's Min Wen?" Wei Yan couldn't help being a little surprised that he didn't see his son in the mansion even though it was already a young age.

Wei Lai, that is, the chief housekeeper, replied: "My lord, the son has brought people to Xifeng County."

"What happened in Xifeng County?"

"The mansion came to report the letter..." The butler whispered this matter in the ear of his Lord Hou.

Only then did Wei Yan know that Zhou Fu Yin had given him a favor.

Whether it is useful or not, favors are favors, and everyone in the officialdom understands this truth.

Wei Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

"Master Hou, Master Qi is going to move back to Yanziqiaotou in a while. Would you like to go to the guest house to keep him?" The housekeeper remembered something again.

Qi Yuanheng's house was almost completed after urgent repairs years ago, and now it is just hanging out.

In this situation, you can move in, but you don't have to.

He was in a hurry to move, mainly because he was already 29 today, if they didn't move, they would spend the New Year at Wei Yan's mansion.

Most people like to spend the New Year in their own homes, which is also human nature.

"Okay, let me see."

Wei Yan stood up and went to the guest house.

In the guest courtyard, the members of the Qi family were packing their things, and they were in a hurry.

"Brother Qi, now that you're moving there, it's not neat over there. Why don't you celebrate the New Year with me." Wei Yan wished he could be divided into several people and take care of every place, but Qi's family can celebrate the New Year with him. In the guest courtyard of my house, the door is closed, and the Chinese New Year is self-contained. This way of celebrating is still a reunion year.

"Wei Qi, I've been bothering you these days. We have to move back sooner or later, so don't worry about whether it will be sooner or later." Qi Yuanheng saw him coming in, talked to him with a smile, welcomed him to the study, and served tea.

"No need to work, I'll just sit and go." Wei Yan waved his hand, signaling him not to cause trouble for those who are busy.

"Minwen went out and hasn't come back yet, did something happen?" Qi Yuanheng originally wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't see Wei Yan, so he wasn't surprised, and he didn't see Wei Minwen, so he was a little strange .

The Wei family has to pass the current hurdle before it can be regarded as a comeback. It is normal for many people not to want members of the Wei family to return to the court because of their powerful relationship.Sometimes, you really can't take a step back. If you take a step back, you will have to take [-] steps back in the future.

Anyway, in many things, there is no right or wrong, and each other's interests are different, so they must compete against each other.

"There are some things in the farm, and I should be able to come back later. Since Brother Qi must move back, I won't keep him, but I have some intentions, so please don't refuse." Wei Yan saw that Qi's family was tidying up. It was almost done, and it was obvious that he was determined to move back, so he didn't continue to persuade him.

"Okay, I'm not being polite to you." Qi Yuanheng wasn't too polite to him either.

Wei Yan's intentions were just some food for the New Year, Qi Yuanheng guessed it after a little thought.

Now that it was decided, Wei Yan asked the butler to prepare the carriages and horses, and helped the Qi family move back to the house at the end of the Yanzi Bridge, and sent all kinds of things for the New Year, from food to utensils. After pulling a few carts, the Qi family has these things, so they don't need to buy new year's goods anymore, and they can live a good year in peace.

He personally came to give gifts, even though Qi Yuanheng was a little speechless after seeing so many things, but he promised so easily just now, it is hard to go back on his word now, so he can only accept these gifts first, thinking about the day when he has a chance, and then return this gift up.

After Wei Yan dealt with the affairs of the Qi family and the affairs of the Li Mansion, he went to the Zhongyonghou Mansion.
