Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"Your Majesty, I don't want you anymore."

Wei Yan wrapped his arms around the emperor's neck, leaned his head up and rubbed against his cheek impatiently, his hoarse pleading voice had a strong nasal voice, and it sounded like a bit of coquettishness.

"Lie to me." Emperor Jing retorted softly in his ear, refusing to give up the original approach.

Wei Yan has used this method of showing weakness and begging for mercy too much recently, and it has long lost its original effect.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really can't do it." In order to get relief from this situation as soon as possible, Wei Yan didn't have the time to think about whether it would be embarrassing to say these words.

Anyway, in front of the emperor, he had already been in embarrassment.Now, he just begged the emperor to let him go.

"Say what I want to hear, and I will let you go." Emperor Jing refused to let him go, coaxing him stubbornly, "Hey, tell me, who is yours, and who are you?"

From the end of last year to the end of the new year and the arrival of February, Emperor Jing tried his best, but still failed to hear what he wanted to hear.Of course, the more he couldn't hear him, the more unwilling he was to give up, and he would try to coax Wei Yan into talking if he had the chance.

Although Wei Yan usually has no temper, it is very easy to bully him if he is rubbed round and flattened, but when his temper comes up, the nine cows can't be pulled back, and he refuses to let him get what he wants no matter what.Emperor Jing was also unwilling to give in on this matter, so much so that the matter on the couch always had to be exhausted and both sides were sore and backache before they would give up.

"Your Majesty is the king of my subjects, and my subjects are my subjects." Like countless times before, this was Wei Yan's only answer.

"If you don't say what I like to hear, I will spend the rest of my life with you." Finally, Emperor Jing hugged Wei Yan in his arms, rubbed his waist to make him more comfortable, and threatened him viciously.

"Your Majesty said that I will let you go in the future." The drowsy man heard the words "a lifetime", but quickly opened his eyes, broke away from his arms, and reminded Emperor Jing that he would Such a promise was made.

This person is really good at spoiling the scenery, and he always pours cold water on him when he is overflowing with tenderness. Emperor Jing once again confirmed this point.

He really wanted to correct him. What he said at the time was not that he would let him go in the future, but that he would only let him go when he was bored. If he was not bored for the rest of his life, then he would never let him go for the rest of his life.

Moreover, since that long night, he has made up his mind, even if he gets tired of doing that with Wei Yan in the future, he has no intention of letting Wei Yan go.Anyway, even if he didn't do anything, just hug Wei Yan to sleep, he would feel satisfied.

Besides, until now, Wei Yan still has this idea, isn't it too heartless?He spoiled him so much, he had already talked to this point, and he still wanted to run all day long, he really wanted to cut his head open to see if there was straw growing inside.

However, Emperor Jing endured and endured, grinding his teeth, and in the end he didn't say anything, he just grabbed the back of Wei Yan's head, pressed his head into his arms again, and prepared to use silence to prevaricate.

No matter how you explain this sentence, it will not please you.If what he said now is just a joke, based on Wei Yan's very brain-brained understanding of "You have no jokes", since this sentence is a joke, then everything he said may be regarded as a joke by Wei Yan. It only takes a moment from affirmation to complete negation.

What's more, what he said that day was not a joke, but it became a joke with the passage of time. He really felt aggrieved if he was forced to admit the crime of intentionally deceiving Wei Yan from the very beginning.But if he admits that there will still be such a day now, then all the sweet words he said before will become a joke.

At this moment, Emperor Jing finally realized deeply what it means to speak carelessly and what it means to repent.

"His Majesty?"

Unfortunately, even if Emperor Jing wanted to prevaricate, the other party refused to let him do so.Seeing that he was silent and refused to talk, the head in his arms was still unwilling to calm down, and it tried its best to break free again and looked at him, insisting that he give a definite answer.

"Don't worry, when did I lie to you?" Emperor Jing no longer dared to speak too much, so as not to slap his own mouth in the future, so he could only dismiss him with ambiguous words, and leaned forward to kiss him on the nose .

Hearing this, Wei Yan thought about it for a while, probably he really didn't find a case that the emperor had lied to him, so he was relieved, and was afraid that another kiss would happen if the emperor came and kissed, so he was honest She put her head back on his chest.

"The minister is tired."

Probably because he was really tired, Wei Yan's breathing soon became lighter.

Emperor Jing didn't feel sleepy, but buried his chin in Wei Yan's hair, thinking about his thoughts silently.Thinking about it carefully, he had only been entangled with this person for about a year, but he felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Forget it, if Wei Yan insists on being a courtier, let him be.Anyway, he wasn't planning to show it to others with great fanfare, but he was just asking for a verbal title in private.

Even if Wei Yan refuses to admit it, in fact, they all know each other well.If Wei Yan doesn't like him at all, how dare Wei Yan act foolishly in front of him all day long and not be on guard against him to this extent?If Wei Yan didn't feel his love for Wei Yan at all, why would Wei Yan act coquettishly and lose his temper with him from time to time?

Moreover, no matter how much you spoil him in private, you must let him maintain the appearance of a courtier in front of outsiders.If you force him to change it, he won't be the same as the former, and it will be troublesome if he shows his flaws.

There are many things that cannot be done at present, so there is no rush for him to change them.Emperor Jing suddenly thought of the queen mother and some other people.The real reason why they kept silent about Wei Yan's existence was that he always favored Wei Yan and never neglected other business for him, so it was just his momentary absurdity. One eye is closed.

If they knew what he would do for Wei Yan one day, how could they tolerate Wei Yan, but at that time, they couldn't help it.

"I won't let you be wronged." Emperor Jing kissed Wei Yan's hair and swore secretly that in the future, he would let this person stand by his side with the most respected status, and not allow anyone to underestimate him. he.

However, what will happen in the future, at this time, the young Emperor Jing didn't know at all, and Wei Yan didn't know even more, so in the following days, they were half tossing and half being in love with each other, savoring that the ten-mile spring breeze is not as good as you sweet taste.

In March of the third year of Tianxi, Qi Yuanheng, a resident of Xiaoshan, did not want his good friend Wei Yan to owe his favor to the emperor for his marriage for no reason. Take this as a thank you gift from the emperor for fulfilling his marriage with Miss Hongyu.

In this statement, Qi Yuanheng eloquently relied on Ma Wanyan, and expressed his personal opinions on national affairs such as people's livelihood, river industry, military affairs and other national affairs. However, the most eye-catching one is a suggestion of "incorporating the wisdom of the people".

After Emperor Jing received this form, he was not angry because Qi Yuanheng wrote some remarks at the beginning, such as the following remarks such as Enyi Liangqing, but after reading it carefully, he wrote it in Zhongshu for discussion, and then ordered someone to transcribe it. Several copies were distributed to several important ministers in the court, and then the proposal of "incorporating the wisdom of the people" was submitted to the courtiers for discussion, and the court immediately exploded over this matter.

The bureaucratic system of the Jing Dynasty basically followed the previous dynasty, and at the same time inherited the tradition of the people not discussing politics in the previous dynasty. However, since the founding king of the Jing Dynasty, the Jing Dynasty has maintained a relatively tolerant attitude towards public opinion.But tolerance is one thing, and it is another thing to involve ordinary people in political affairs.

After hearing this suggestion, the courtiers were of course in an uproar. Most of the courtiers expressed their opposition to this move, which violated the ancestral family law and the practice of the dynasties. Very few courtiers thought this suggestion was worth taking.

Although Emperor Jing thought this suggestion was a bit interesting, he still hesitated and couldn't make up his mind. There is certainly some truth in "incorporating the wisdom of the people", but throughout the dynasties, the officials and the people have performed their duties and responsibilities. Once this is done, there will indeed be risks of chaos.

The emperor himself was vacillating, so the debate in the court was of course even more lively.The few courtiers who supported this suggestion, although they did not have the upper hand in number, did have the upper hand in eloquence. In addition, the emperor's position often shifted back and forth. Today, he felt that what was said here made sense, so he If he supported this side, tomorrow he felt that what was said there was also good, so he supported that side. As a result, in this debate, the east wind often prevailed over the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.

"Why is Your Majesty bothered?" Wei Yan woke up after a nap, only to find that the emperor beside him hadn't slept yet. At this moment, the emperor frowned, not knowing why he was troubled.

Originally, he didn't want to talk too much, but he saw that the emperor was frowning frequently recently. Obviously, this matter had embarrassed the emperor for a long time, and he endured it for a long time.

Seeing that he was interested, Emperor Jing told him about it in detail.

"Actually, isn't Brother Qi just hoping that His Majesty can listen to different voices from the people?" Wei Yan didn't understand what the emperor was embarrassing.

Qi Yuanheng just suggested that the emperor set up a special yamen to receive the opinions of the people, collect them and submit them to the emperor for reading.But judging from what the emperor said to him, the current debate in the court seems to have exceeded Qi Yuanheng's initial suggestion.

"I think that since we want to set up such a yamen to 'incorporate the wisdom of the people', we shouldn't let the wisdom of the people be wasted in a boundless place. Naturally, we must specify something and let the people discuss it. It's just that I hesitated. , the trend of civil discussion has risen sharply, if the original purpose is deviated from, I am afraid that the situation will be very difficult to deal with."

Qi Yuanheng's suggestion focused on "inclusiveness", but in the hands of Emperor Jing, it turned into how to make the best use of "people's wisdom". Of course, he still had some other purposes in his mind, and he hadn't thought about it yet. If necessary, I will discuss it with Wei Yan one by one now.

It's just that it's easier to invite gods than to give them away. Once the atmosphere of discussing politics is opened, it will take a lot of effort to ban it in the future.

"I think this method is very good. It is impossible to completely prohibit the wind of discussing politics. It is better to give the people a place to discuss, so that they can speak freely and freely. The court can also choose some opinions worthy of acceptance from these discussions. " Wei Yan also thinks this idea is very good, "As for the embarrassing thing for His Majesty, as long as you handle it carefully, there shouldn't be any big troubles. In the end, no matter how the people discuss it, the person who makes the final decision is Your Majesty."

"Since even you agreed, it must be good, I don't hesitate." Lian Weiyan thought with his straw head, and he could find the benefits. Emperor Jing believed that there must be something he hadn't thought of in this move. benefit.

In April of the third year of Tianxi, Emperor Jing ordered the establishment of the Department of Public Discussion, which was specifically responsible for civil affairs, and issued an order to the world to praise Qi Yuanheng for his kind words.

This decree of Emperor Jing opened the precedent for the imperial court to allow private discussion of government affairs. Although the government changed some things due to various reasons, its tolerance for private discussion of government affairs remained unchanged. This benevolent government obviously laid the foundation stone for the future prosperity of Hongqing.

The praise of Qi Yuanheng by Emperor Jing quickly made Qi Yuanheng famous, and since then he has become the leader of the world's scholars.

Regarding this measure, the benefit that Emperor Jing got at the beginning was that for a long period of time after that, the relationship between the royal family, the imperial court and Shilin was unprecedentedly relaxed and sweet. As for the more valuable benefits, it would take many years for him to realize .
