Chronicle of Emperor Jing

At this moment, the two kings and ministers knelt in front of the Buddha and sincerely prayed, one prayed that his ministers would be as stupid as before, one prayed for the well-being of his family and everything went smoothly, one only asked the Buddha to fulfill his little wish at this time, and the other wished that all wishes could be fulfilled , How can one expect that one will demand more and more in the future, while the other will demand less and less?

Unpredictable is used to describe such situations.

But people's hearts have always been like this, otherwise, how could the gods and Buddhas in the sky be in the high clouds, smiling because of the unpredictability of people's hearts.

At that time, the two monarchs and ministers, in line with the principle of "sincerity leads to spirit", sincerely visited there, praying that they could seek benevolence and obtain benevolence, and get what they wanted. As for the result, it may not be that important, at least for the people at that time. For His Majesty the Emperor, the process of enjoying seems to be more important.

This Buddha worship is worshiped, but the emperor still has no intention of going there, but wanders around with great interest.Although Wei Yan was secretly worried that his mother would not be able to see him when she was resting, would she be worried, because he walked in a hurry when he came and did not tell the maids, but at this time he saw the emperor was so interested, naturally he didn't care about it at all. Not daring to put his impatience on his face to spoil the emperor's interest, he had to hold back his temper and accompany the emperor to wander around.

The halls dedicated to the Buddhas passed by one by one, and the Arhats in the Arhat Hall also clicked and clicked. After clicking several times, His Majesty the Emperor was still not satisfied, and proposed to go for an outing in the backyard of Huai'an Temple.

The peach blossoms in Huai'an Temple can be regarded as a scene in the capital, but now that the flowering period has not yet arrived, there are only some green branches and leaves, and bare buds, which is really nothing to see.Wei Yan tactfully expressed his opinion to the emperor, deliberately forgetting that the person who spent half a day facing those bare buds just now was himself.

Well, he secretly admitted in his heart that he just didn't want to serve the emperor while he was on vacation.With this free time, he might as well accompany his mother to copy a few more scriptures, which is considered a merit anyway. If he continues to toss around with the emperor, he will usually not have good fruit for him.

Emperor Jing looked at Wei Yan amusedly.What this man said was serious and serious, but the subtext was that he was on vacation, he wanted to accompany his mother, and he didn't want to accompany himself to be silly with his bare buds.

Of course, Wei Yan's words can't be heard at first glance, but Wei Yan seems to have forgotten that they have the closest relationship, and while they are physically close, they must be familiar with each other's small habits It's not a deliberate observation, you'll understand after watching a lot. Emperor Jing knew Wei Yan's reaction when he said something insincere. For example, when Wei Yan lied, his ears would turn slightly red, and his eyes would stare at a certain place without daring to look. On the other side, the corners of his brows would wrinkle a little. To sum it up in one sentence, Wei Yan hasn't learned how to keep his expression from revealing the slightest bit of inappropriateness when telling lies.

In many cases, Emperor Jing would not deliberately expose him with an innocuous mentality, and would indulge him from time to time.Even if Wei Yan wants to play tricks occasionally and tell lies that are inconsistent, he will continue to speak according to his words and agree to some of his requests.He did this purely to make Wei Yan mistakenly think that his scheme had easily succeeded, so that he could feel happy.

And what Wei Yandong thinks about him carefully is usually small things. He wants to go home, this one doesn’t want to eat, that one doesn’t like to eat, this one doesn’t work, that one doesn’t want to eat it, it’s really trivial things, and these things are exchanged for Wei Yan was happy, and obediently accompanied him, and Emperor Jing was mostly happy.

But at this moment, seeing his such an interesting reaction, the inferiority in Emperor Jing's heart was instantly aroused, and he couldn't help but want to do something to make Wei Yan's expression more colorful.

Now that he thought of it, he had to try it, so Emperor Jing easily lifted Wei Yan's chin, letting him watch him speak, with a playful smile on his mouth, and slowly narrowed the distance between them.

What does the emperor want to do?In the holy Buddhist temple in broad daylight, does the emperor actually want to do something?Wei Yan was stunned by the sudden thought that popped into his head.

No, no matter how mischievous the emperor is, it will only be in the palace, after the crowd has retreated, and he will never mess around outside in front of everyone.But there is indeed no one around here, but there are gods standing three feet above their heads, not to mention there are many Buddhas worshiping there, but... Wei Yan thought a lot in his mind, until the distance between them was so close that he could The emperor saw himself in panic and thought of a way to save himself.

Emperor Jing heard that Wei Yan was there to praise the peach blossoms in Huai'an Temple in a non-coherent manner. From the beginning, the buds were nothing to look at. Now, if you don't go and look at those bare buds, it seems that you have never been to Huai'an Temple. , but his head was deadlocked and refused to take a step closer, and he felt more and more amusing.

Although Wei Yan's expressions and words brought him great pleasure, he still didn't intend to let him go.He has been busy with political affairs for the past few days, and he was busy until midnight last night before arranging the time for today's trip. He must reward himself for the hard work of the past few days. The one who got away safely.

"Hey, close your eyes." Although Wei Yan's words that don't convey the meaning are interesting to listen to, but compared to this fun, Emperor Jing still thinks that kissing him can make him feel better physically and mentally, and it can also seal his body. Mouth, let the roots of your ears be quiet.

Of course, Emperor Jing refused to let go of such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. He didn't take Wei Yan's slight struggle to heart at all. Go forward, determined to succeed what he decided from the beginning.

Then Emperor Jing saw the person in front of him close his eyes resignedly, turned his head away in a gesture of resignation, threw himself into his arms, pressed his cheek against his, and rested his head on his shoulder.

"Wei Yan..." Emperor Jing originally wanted to scold him, but he couldn't help laughing in the middle of the sentence. Wei Yan didn't want to be kissed by him, but was willing to throw himself into his arms. It's hard to tell.

But no matter what, this is indeed a good method, at least until the person in his arms is willing to leave his arms, he will never be able to kiss the place he wanted to kiss just now, at most he can only kiss his earlobe.

Emperor Jing rubbed against his cheek a few times, and said, "Okay, let's stop making trouble. Walk with me."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Jing put his palm on Wei Yan's shoulder to comfort him for a moment, and patiently waited for the person who finally understood what happened and was too ashamed to move to calm down, and then took his hand smoothly , clasped in the palm.

"Yes." Wei Yan realized what he had done just now after he realized what he had done just now. His ears were burning with shame. It was embarrassing to leave the embrace of the emperor at this time. It was even more ashamed not to leave. He froze for a while and didn't know what to do. , but the emperor's silent reassurance made him calm down slowly, and only after his face returned to normal did he dare to leave the emperor's embrace and travel with the emperor in the peach forest.

During the journey, Wei Yan tried to secretly pull out his palm once, but the emperor turned sideways and gave him a look, and then turned around his face with a smile that was not a smile, and he calmed down. Obediently let the emperor lead, and dare not think of other thoughts.

The peach grove in Huaian Temple is very old, and one of the peach trees is said to be 300 years old.The temple took special care of this old peach tree that had experienced more than 300 years of wind and rain. It was surrounded by a half-person-high fence and a stone tablet was erected in front of the tree.

The inscription on the stele is very simple and difficult to understand. According to common sense, it probably says that a certain person planted it here on a certain day of a certain year. Wei Yan stood there and studied it for a long time, and he was sure that he only knew those few numbers on the words on the stele. He was still staring at the stele intently, as if he would recognize those words after staring at it for a long time.

There is no other reason for Wei Yan to study the inscription so seriously, it is really a last resort, because I don't know when it will start, the emperor is staring at him again, the emperor's eyes seem to have heat, as if just looking at it can make him feel better. He roasted it well, and after it was cooked, there was only one consequence.So Wei Yan tried his best to resist the fate of being cooked, but unfortunately the effect was very little.

"Wei Yan..." Seeing Wei Yan studying the stele endlessly, Emperor Jing finally got impatient and called him in a low voice on purpose.

"The minister is here." Wei Yan responded cautiously.

The emperor's voice is very nice. The young emperor who has passed the voice change period has a good voice that can make a mellow voice, especially when he deliberately lowers his voice and brings some faint smiles to call people. There is always an indescribable bewitching taste.

Wei Yan had heard the emperor call him that many times, usually when he was lucky under the emperor, every time the emperor called him that, it could easily make him do something that he would spurn on himself a hundred times after he woke up.At this time, the purpose of the emperor calling him is self-evident, but unfortunately he can't pretend that he didn't hear him, so he can only deal with it carefully.

"Wei Yan, look at me." Emperor Jing didn't understand what's so good about a broken stele, Wei Yan had to look at it so intently.Compared with the broken stele, Emperor Jing felt that he looked much better.

His Majesty the Emperor obviously didn't realize how pitiful it was for him to compare himself with the stele. I don't know if he has been with someone for a long time, and his intelligence is also approaching someone. People can't help but feel sympathy for him tears.

"I'm stupid, I can't read all the words on the stele. Can Your Majesty teach the ministers?" Wei Yan didn't know that the emperor was so pitiful, and he still changed the topic there in order not to be roasted. Wang Gu went left and right. Say him.

"Wei Yan, turn your head and look at me." Emperor Jing repeated again, but this time his tone was already strong.

In the education that Emperor Jing had received since he was a child, although these things such as respect and tact exist, they are not for the person in front of him.Respect should be given to respected elders like the Tai Tuo, or national scholars with real talents and knowledge, and this kind of thing is only given to women with noble status.As for Wei Yan, at most he would coax him when he was in trouble, if he insisted on twisting his neck to not be coaxed, he could only use his status as a king to order him.

What pleased Emperor Jing was that Wei Yan still knew that the emperor's order must not be violated, although he was not very willing, he finally turned his head and looked at him.

In fact, if you look closely, Wei Yan's face looks pretty good. His eyebrows are eyebrows and his nose is nose. He is full of heroism. As long as he keeps a straight face and doesn't speak, he should be able to please women.

Emperor Jing didn't say this out of conscience because he was used to seeing it. Although he dismissed Wei Yan as worthless at the beginning, it was because he compared Wei Yan with the beautiful appearance of the women in the harem at the beginning, just like Wei Yan. Comparing delicate flowers with tall and straight pines and cypresses, the conclusions drawn are naturally strange.

Now that he has settled down to look carefully, he has to admit that Wei Yan's face can still deceive women.Thinking of women, Emperor Jing thought of the maid that Wei Yan bought in Youzhou, but he reminded himself again that as his king, it would be too shameful to argue with a lowly maid, so he reluctantly suppressed the matter No repetition.

And there are some things that one really shouldn't believe in what other people say. For example, everyone said that Wei Yan is dull and honest, but now he finds that Wei Yan talks more and more, and plays tricks with him more and more. Sometimes it is obvious that she is acting like a baby with him.Of course, he doesn't hate everything.

"Wei Yan...Wei Yan..." Emperor Jing touched Wei Yan's cheek while thinking, not forgetting to use his own charm and voice to confuse him.His hard work was not in vain, he just called Wei Yan's name, and Wei Yan's expression began to waver.

This time, when Emperor Jing leaned forward, Wei Yan did not hide, but lowered his eyes.

"Cough..." Suddenly, there was a cough in the distance.

Before Emperor Jing could react, the person in his arms was already several feet away.Emperor Jing looked helplessly at Wei Yanyuan's back, he almost forgot that the person he rubbed around was a guard with good skills, and he was obviously good at hearing and lightness skills.

Sure enough, Emperor Jing soon heard a few words such as "mother", "shoufeng", "friend" and "no trouble" faintly coming from the early spring breeze.

Could it be said that today's imperial calendar says that it is not suitable for intimacy?Emperor Jing turned his head and stared at the stele seriously, and began to think about this question.

The stele was still a broken one, no matter how depressed he was, he couldn't see Wei Yan.Forget it, the next time you go out, let Qin Tianjian do the math.Emperor Jing had no choice but to admit defeat, man is not as good as God, everything is suitable and intimacy is not suitable, it is obviously God's arrangement for today, he gave up his mind at that moment, summoned someone to give some instructions, and went back to the palace.

Wei Yan anxiously supported his mother and returned to the yard where they lived.He didn't know how long his mother had been here, nor how much his mother had seen.He waited for his mother to ask questions, but his mother didn't ask any questions, which made him even more uneasy.

The maids in the yard are packing their luggage and preparing to go home.Wei Yan was worried about his mother's place, but the man outside just left it alone, and the consequences were obviously more serious. For a moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and didn't know what to do.

"Mother is not in the way here. Yan'er go out and have a look, it's impolite to leave a friend alone." After a while, Liu Shi finally spoke.

"Mother..." Wei Yan had some hesitation in his expression.

"Go." Liu's words comforted her, but after her son went out, she suppressed her smile and sat staring at the bluestone floor, speechless.

Wei Yan went back to the 300-year-old peach tree just now, and found that the emperor was no longer there, leaving only a guard to send him a message that there will be an order from the palace tomorrow, so that he can stay in the mansion to wait for the order.

The person who sent the message, Wei Yan, was not familiar with him, so he didn't dare to find out whether the emperor was happy or angry when he made the decree, and his heart became more and more uncertain.

It was a difficult night for Wei Yan.The mother clearly saw something there, but the mother just didn't ask anything. Although the mother asked, he didn't know how to answer, but the mother didn't ask anything, which made him even more worried.

There is also the one in the palace who failed the emperor twice today. With the emperor's temperament, how could he let it go, the will of tomorrow is really unpredictable.

He tossed and turned for most of the night, and when it was almost dawn, he became sleepy and dazed.

On the second day, the order from the palace arrived very early.The central door of the Wei Mansion was wide open, the incense table was set up, and everyone knelt down to welcome the imperial edict.

This imperial decree was very strange, after Wei Yan sent away the servants from the palace to pass the decree, after studying it for half a day, he still couldn't figure out the real meaning of the emperor.

Regardless of the false words of "fulfilling duty" in the imperial decree, and regardless of the long list of rare treasures rewarded by the emperor, the most important content of this imperial decree is two points. One is that the emperor directly promoted him to He is a first-class guard, and the second is that the emperor transferred him to experience in front of the commander of Shen Da.

"Are you rising brightly and falling secretly?" Wei Yan felt a little wronged in his heart, but he didn't know what he was wronged.

As a bodyguard, there is actually no difference between the third class and the first class, but there is a big difference between being in front of the emperor and being far away from the emperor. The official position of a close minister does not matter how big or small, the key is to gain the emperor's trust and appreciation. doing.

But his situation was different from that of ordinary guards. The emperor was angry and finally didn't want him to serve him. Wouldn't it be good to send him away?Why on earth did he feel wronged and what was he dissatisfied with?Wei Yan struggled there for a long time, finally thought of this, and finally became happy again.

Regarding this imperial decree, many people, like Wei Yan, think that it is a sign of Wei Yan's fall out of favor. His father Wei Lao Hou Ye is one of them.

After he came back from court, he read the imperial decree, and began to give Wei Yan a serious lesson on how the emperor appreciates the royal grace, and how Wei Yan should go to the commander-in-chief of Shen to practice hard in order to repay the emperor's favor.

Wei Yan had already figured it out at that time, so naturally he obediently agreed.
