Chronicle of Emperor Jing

The current governor of Kyoto, surnamed Fan, is a Jinshi in the third year of Longsheng, and has been an official for nearly ten years. He is known for being upright and honest.

This is the information Wei Yan collected about that Fan Fuyin after making inquiries.But after receiving the news, he got a headache and felt a little helpless.Integrity is not a problem, and fundamentally speaking, this matter is not a major matter of corruption and breaking the law. To put it bluntly, he just wants to take advantage of the loopholes in the law.

Of course, such a slightly difficult request requires a certain degree of friendship, so that you can speak in front of that Fan Fu Yin. If a completely irrelevant person just goes up to make this kind of request in such a daze, the result will definitely be rejected. , so the first thing Wei Yan has to do is to establish friendship with that Fan Fuyin.

If you want to make friends with people, the fastest way is of course to match what you like.It would be fine if that Fan Fu Yin was addicted to money and sex. As a child of a family, with a few friends around him, Wei Yan felt that he had some experience in eating, drinking, and having fun, but the elegant things, just thinking about it makes him He felt a headache, and there was really nothing wrong with it.

However, headaches are headaches, for Brother Qi's happiness, he can't just give up in the face of a little difficulty. In the end, Wei Yan consciously played a roundabout way, trying to find ways to trust people and trust others, and got recommended by others. He finally entered Fan Fuyin's circle of contacts.

Whether it's true or not, the most important thing is that others don't know whether it's true or not. Anyway, Wei Yan seems to be the emperor's favored minister and upstart in court. There are not a few officials in Beijing who want to make friends with him, even if they are self-proclaimed Qingliu Officials are also unwilling to easily offend close officials like him.

Everyone understands the reason why they don't want to offend. Many people in this world are not successful enough, but they are not good enough.Once he offended a close official like him, and if he caught the opportunity to say a small word in front of the emperor, it would cause trouble if nothing happened, and it would become a big problem if something happened.

Therefore, the emperor is close to his ministers, even if the courtiers disdain to be close, they dare not offend.

It's just that the Jinweiying has never been too close to other officials in the court, and in order to avoid taboos, the court officials do not want to arouse the emperor's unreasonable suspicion and cause disasters, and will consciously not deliberately cling to them, and will not get too close to the Jinweiying. His officials have a very close past, which directly leads to the fact that there are not many opportunities to make friends with close ministers like Wei Yan who often accompany the monarch.

In this way, even if Wei Yan did not make any achievements in the way of elegance, he did not arouse the rejection of everyone, and easily entered this circle, and he became acquainted with that Fan Fu Yin after a while.

After going to such gatherings a few times, Wei Yan discovered that it is actually not that difficult to pretend to be elegant.It's just shaking a fan and drinking tea, and occasionally saying a few ambiguous, confusing words, the more incomprehensible, the less likely people will expose his ignorant nature of ignorance.

Although it is boring to listen to nonsense all day long, Wei Yan has to admit that he has improved a little after going too much, at least he knows a lot of names that he has never heard of, and Gu Shen is one of them.

Gu Shen can be said to be a legendary figure in the history of calligraphy and painting. Like all the geniuses in the novels, his life is full of hardships and ups and downs, just like a story that makes the listeners sigh.The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the more difficult his life experiences, the higher his achievements.

It is said that he has dabbled in a wide range of subjects, and he has tried various painting and calligraphy themes, but it is his landscape paintings that are highly praised by later generations.It is a pity that due to war and other reasons, there are not many handed down works left over from generation to generation.

Every time he talked about this Gu Shen, Fan Fuyin would talk endlessly with great interest, and Fan Fuzhong even had a collection of Gu Shen's imitations, Wei Yan knew that this should be a weakness of Fan Fuyin.

It's just that Gu Shen's paintings are really hard to find, Wei Yan sent people to search all over the study and painting workshops in the capital, but there was still no result, so he had to give up.

In the first ten days of September of the second year of Tianxi, when the emperor's heir was born, everyone in the palace was waiting in full force, waiting with bated breath for the arrival of the emperor's first heir, with either joy or worry.

As the date of Liu Jieyu's delivery approached, the emperor himself became worrisome. The Yonghe Palace had already been heavily guarded by his guards, but he was still worried. He always felt that there was something he hadn't done well.

The young emperor who ruled the world, like any boy who is about to become a father, was excited and restless and worried at the same time, worried about this and that, but none of them were worried about the point.

Wei Yan realized this because the emperor changed his attitude again during this period of time. Well, he is actually used to the emperor changing his attitude every few days. After a few days of hard work, the emperor was so generous that he no longer constrained where he was going. After leaving, he started to mess around again when the matter came to an end, and the demand for him on that matter increased greatly. In addition to the night, he would be dragged to the bed during the day with nothing to do, as if he was going to use his energy and energy to get rid of it. Resolve the irritability in the heart.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Liu Jieyu is in good health, and the eldest son of the emperor will be born safely." After the love, Wei Yan hugged the generous back of the young man beside him, comforting him with gentle words.

When his body was so close, he seemed to feel the unspeakable feelings in the emperor's heart.

"I'm not worried." Emperor Jing denied it flatly, kissed his forehead, and signaled him not to talk too much and rest obediently.

These days he is a bit demanding, in addition to venting his energy and not allowing himself to think wildly, he actually has some mentality of compensating Wei Yan in it.As a man, Wei Yan shouldn't care, and he shouldn't care about such things as his concubine bearing children for him and continuing the emperor's heir, but at this juncture when the whole world is about to celebrate, he inexplicably treats Wei Yan a little bit badly. Yan thought.

So these days, he followed Wei Yan in everything, let him wander around, even when it was time to reprimand him, he dragged him to the couch, loved him slowly with his body, and tried to tell him with countless favors, Even if there is an imperial heir, he will still treat him well.

What's more, some moods are not humane.Even though Wei Yan has served in the palace for many years, he has already seen all aspects of the palace, and probably will never understand it in his whole life. Those things that only a child of the royal family can understand, the mood when facing a new life in the royal family .Some things are deposited in the bones of the children of the royal family. As long as the blood in their bodies is still flowing, there will be no day when they will disappear.

Emperor Jing didn't bother to explain these things to Wei Yan. Anyway, no matter how he explained, this idiot would still be confused. It would be more useful to use his body to let him deeply understand.

Wei Yan was so tormented by him that he soon became confused.Emperor Jing didn't feel sleepy, he lay with his eyes open for a while, until the breathing of the people around him calmed down, and then quietly got off the bed.

There have been a lot of things going on recently, his body has relaxed from what happened just now, but his heart is a little restless, at the moment, Emperor Jing ordered someone to set up a set of utensils, and prepared to do some graffiti to relax his mind.

Wei Yan woke up from a nap, was tidied up by others, and went out of the inner hall, where he could see the figure of the emperor painting from a distance.When he got closer, he realized that the emperor was not painting, but copying.

"The Picture of Listening to the Waves in Yanshan?" Wei Yan glanced at the two servants who were holding it in their hands, and carefully unfolded the picture scroll for the emperor to copy, and cried out in surprise.

"Since when did you even hear of the 'Yanshan Listening to the Waves'?" Emperor Jing was obviously more surprised than him.

It's not that Emperor Jing wants to underestimate Wei Yan. "Yanshan Listening to the Waves" is one of the representative works of the great painter Gu Shen, but there are very few works of this master in the world, except for the few paintings in the imperial palace, there are very few living among the people. I have never seen his works, not to mention that this master loves ancient style of writing and seals. Although the scroll is unfolding in front of Wei Yan, Emperor Jing still does not think that Wei Yan has the possibility of knowing the words written on the scroll.

Emperor Jing did not guess wrong, Wei Yan did not know those words, but after repeated indoctrination by that Fan Fu Yin, he already had a comprehensive understanding of Gu Shen's paintings. As for Master Gu's seal, Fan Fu Yin even It has been researched quite a lot, and it has been imitated a lot, and it has to be shown every time for everyone to enjoy, and even Wei Yan is already familiar with it.

"I heard it about it by chance." Wei Yan didn't dare to elaborate on where he heard it, and it would be troublesome if he said too much, so he tried to muddle through.

"Oh, I just heard someone mention it by chance, and I remember it so well? Why don't you remember it in other things?" Emperor Jing raised his brows and teased him, but Wei Yan seemed a little at a loss when he said that. When he got up, he gave up teasing him, stopped teasing him, and said, "If you remember so well, you must like it very much. If you like it, I will reward you."

Wei Yan didn't know how to answer the first half of the emperor's sentence, but he was stunned by the second half.He was overjoyed when he first heard it, but hesitated again after thinking about it.He spent a lot of effort to find a painting by Gu Shen, and now he found it without any effort, of course he was overjoyed, but if the emperor knew what he was going to do with this painting, it would be a little troublesome.

"I don't understand this. Your Majesty's gift to me is a waste." At that moment, Wei Yan declined.

No matter how good the emperor's gift is, if you have other thoughts in your heart, it will be a bit hot. For example, if you have the idea of ​​taking it out and changing hands like him, it's better not to.Because if it really came into his hands, he knew that it could be used to achieve his goal, but if he refused to use it, he believed that he would not be able to do it.

In this case, don't have it at the beginning, then he won't make things difficult in the future.

"I gave it to you, just keep it, where is there so much nonsense?" Emperor Jing said with a downcast face.

He clearly saw a gleam of joy in Wei Yan's eyes just now, so why bother to pretend to decline now.Since I like it, honestly, I just like it, so what are you doing?Could it be that if Wei Yan likes it, he will be reluctant to give him a painting?

Seeing that the emperor's complexion was not good, Wei Yan didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to accept this "Picture of Listening to the Waves in Yanshan Mountain".

On the ninth day of September in the second year of Tianxi, Liu Jieyu felt labor pains in the early hours of the morning.The servant hurriedly reported to Emperor Jing, and Emperor Jing immediately stopped discussing that day and stayed in the bedroom to wait for the good news.

After waiting until the evening, the emperor's heir still could not be born.Emperor Jing couldn't stay in the bedroom for a long time, so he hurried to the Yonghe Palace. After waiting for a long time, he still couldn't wait for the birth of the eldest son of the emperor.He couldn't help running around in a hurry in the main hall of Yonghe Palace. If he hadn't been stopped by someone, he would have broken into the delivery room long ago.

"Your Majesty, mother and child will be safe. Sit down and rest, and use something." Wei Yan persuaded the emperor with a worried expression.

The emperor didn't eat anything for lunch, and he had already walked around the hall countless times, but he still couldn't calm down. He was so nervous that the people serving in the hall became even more nervous.

"Okay." Emperor Jing looked back at him, calmed down a bit, and sat down on the chief seat.

Wei Yan carefully took the tea and snacks brought by the maid, and handed them to him.Under his consolation, Emperor Jing reluctantly used something. He endured it for a long time, and finally grabbed Wei Yan's palm firmly, refusing to let go.

As time passed, there was still no movement inside. Emperor Jing had some bad thoughts in his head, each of which made him tremble with fear. Now he desperately needs some strength to calm himself down.

Wei Yan was taken aback by his actions, but he didn't try to withdraw his hand, but instead tightened his hand and shook it back.

The silence speaks.

He knew that the emperor needed someone to comfort him now, and he was willing to give a little comfort.

Emperor Jing knew that letting Wei Yan stay here with him was an extremely selfish act, and he didn't consider Wei Yan's mood at all, but he was still glad that this person was willing to stay by his side.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the sound of croaking finally came from the hall.

"Congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty, congratulations Your Majesty on the birth of the eldest son, the eldest son of the emperor is born." The maids in the delivery room rushed out to announce the good news to the emperor.

"Okay, okay, all will be rewarded, and there will be many rewards. I will go to burn incense and pray to my ancestors later, and tell them the good news. I will send it to the world tomorrow to celebrate." Seeing that Liu Jieyu was indeed born a prince, yes The eldest son he has been looking forward to, Emperor Jing's joy can be imagined.

He shouted rewards one after another, but also wanted to respect the ancestors, and also wanted to summon the world. He was busy like a little butterfly wearing flowers, flying around without stopping.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Seeing that the emperor finally got his wish, Wei Yan was also happy for him.

"Same joy, same joy!" Emperor Jing smiled meaningfully at Wei Yan, and his words were even more meaningful.

But Wei Yan thought he was crazy with joy, and didn't take his words to heart.

At three o'clock on the ninth day of September in the second year of Tianxi, Jing Yu, the eldest son of Emperor Lie, was born.The next day, Emperor Lie gave amnesty to the whole world, and the whole world celebrated together, and Jin named Liu Jieyu the concubine Shu.
