Chronicle of Emperor Jing

"Your Majesty is discussing the matter of worshiping the ancestors. I am afraid that he will not return to the palace until dinner. These are all ordered by His Majesty early on. If His Majesty comes back and finds that the adults are still so haggard and have not had a good rest. Those who punish the servants severely, I hope that the Lord will show compassion and pity, and don't make things difficult for the servants."

Although Gao Yong didn't understand why Wei Yan hadn't seen him for a few days, Wei Yan began to abide by his duties as a minister and refused to accept the service of everyone, but he knew very well that the emperor didn't care about this reason or that reason, and Wei Yan would not be able to escape the punishment. Of course, none of the people who served in front of him could escape.

The manager Gao has already talked to this point, if Wei Yan refuses to agree, he is deliberately making things difficult, so he can only let them go.

In the past few days, Wei Yan only closed his eyes and squinted for a while between meals. His body was already very tired. He was in a daze for a while in the bathtub. After being woken up, he went outside to eat and thought again. I closed my eyes and dozed off, finally packed everything up, and when I wanted to rest, I had a new problem.

According to the wishes of the people serving him, of course he was asked to sleep on the dragon couch.

Just kidding, it was the emperor's order to sleep there in the past, and he had to sleep if he couldn't help it. Now he dared to climb up by himself, it would be a crime of beheading.

Of course the dragon couch couldn't sleep, so he just dozed off while sitting, swaying from side to side and almost bumping his head in a daze for a while, which made everyone tremble more than he did, and the maids who served him almost burst into tears.

The first time it was the emperor himself who accidentally hurt someone, and he was upset for several days, making everyone terrified. If Master Wei dozed off like this, if he accidentally broke the skin, they would have nothing to eat .

In the end, of course, Director Gao gave a compromise solution, finding a place for him in the side room outside the warm pavilion, bringing brocade quilts and braziers, and letting him make do with it and sleep.

Wei Yan remembered that he was waiting for the emperor to summon him now, and he didn't want to do such a disrespectful thing. Manager Gao could only promise to wake him up before the emperor came back, so he could coax him to sleep carefully.

Then, he fell asleep like this.

"Does the Grand Tutor think there is something wrong with worshiping the ancestors?" In the imperial study room, Emperor Jing was asking humbly, his tone was very gentle and submissive, assuming the posture of respecting the teacher, honoring the way and respecting the virtuous old minister.His faint imperial majesty mixed with his humble demeanor of treating him as a national scholar, not only did not have any contradictions, but also made people feel subdued, wishing to repay him as a national scholar.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. This plan has been determined in many ways, and it can be guaranteed to be safe." The Taifu Liu Zesheng was the teacher pointed out to the emperor by the late emperor. He enlightened the emperor when he was young and taught him carefully for many years. It can be said that the emperor The most important adviser.

The first year of Tianxi was the first year that Emperor Jing was in charge.Although it is customary for the emperor to be in charge after an adult marriage, the empress dowager has been in charge for many years. The power in the court is entangled, and there are people who covet her. There seems to be some signs of abnormal movement among the people.

The first half of the year passed peacefully, but in the second half of the year, a "rebellion against the king" happened. Although the king was unscathed in the end, the massive bloody killings that followed may make the subjects of the world question the legitimacy of Emperor Jing's "successful fortune" .

Three people become tigers, one mouth makes gold, and the accumulation destroys bones.If it really comes to the time when rumors spread everywhere, it would be the worst policy to rely on bloody suppression.Therefore, the ancestor worship ceremony at the end of the year is naturally a good opportunity. As long as the preparations are properly made, the "auspiciousness from heaven" is enough to prove that Emperor Jing's personal administration is in line with the will of the people.

Although rumors are scary, but rumors can be used by others, and naturally they can also be used by oneself.As long as it is used properly, it is also a sharp weapon.After all, rumors only stop at the wise, but how many of the subjects in the world are wise?

If the people are not stupid, who can be stupid? If the people are all stupid, who can't be stupid?

"In this way, I can rest assured." Emperor Jing played with the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then asked again, "What do you think of the Wei family?"

After saying this, Liu Zesheng fell silent.There were only the emperor and him in the imperial study room, and the other people were sent out by the emperor after their discussions. The emperor left him alone. Naturally, he had to say a few words that could only be said in private.

"Marquis Zhongyong is a smart man." Liu Zesheng pondered for a moment before answering the emperor's question.

The so-called smart people are very good at judging the situation and always standing in the right position.The Wei family in Hexi started from the time of Gaozu, and it has been more than a hundred years now. Over the years, the Wei family has experienced ups and downs in this weird and unpredictable court, but it has always firmly occupied a place. Naturally, there is something that cannot be underestimated.

The emperor wants to play Wei's game, if played well, the effect will be obvious.It's just that if the emperor has other thoughts when accepting the son, it may cause new troubles.

Regarding the reason why the emperor suddenly had this idea, Liu Zesheng heard a faint whiff of wind from Director Gao.Although Manager Gao was ambiguous and did not have a single word of conclusive words, but Liu Zesheng had been with him for many years, and the emperor treated him as both a master and a father, so he would not deliberately hide many things from him. .

"To tell you the truth, Taifu, I also have selfish intentions in this matter. It is not necessary for the Wei family. But if it is the Wei family, I can kill two birds with one stone. Please rest assured, Taifu, I know how to measure." Fu, Emperor Jing has always been very respectful. His gentle and respectful attitude does not mean to be half-deceitful.

Regarding the real reason why he wanted to do this, he didn't bother to hide it, and it would be very difficult to hide this kind of thing from the people around him. It is better to take the opportunity now to speak clearly than to say some clichéd words of advice.

Monarchs and ministers are all smart people, so they don't need to speak too clearly.

"Then how does His Majesty plan to arrange him?" He didn't need to say this clearly, they all knew who he was referring to.Everyone else is easy to say, only he himself is more difficult to deal with.

"Does the Tai Tuo think it is better to be a bright guard, or a dark guard?" Although Emperor Jing was going to use him, he didn't want him to be too far away. , of course, is the position of the bodyguard, there is both light and darkness.

"With his character, I'm afraid he won't be able to do secret guard work." His figure appeared in Liu Taifu's mind, and then he came to a conclusion.Ming Wei is responsible for the safety of the emperor, while the dark guard needs to do many plots, tricks and bloody killings in secret, and it is not his personality that can take on it.

"Tai Tu's words are justified, since that's the case, when he comes back from Youzhou, I will let him practice with Shen Mo for a period of time." Shen Mo is the commander of the guard battalion, responsible for the protection of the imperial city and the safety of the emperor, etc. In matters, the status is also important, and he is also the confidant of the emperor.With his help in everything, Wei Yan should be able to get started soon.

Emperor Jing smiled lightly, and the discussion with Taifu on this matter came to an end.

As dusk approached, Emperor Jing returned to his bedroom in the setting sun of winter.The things that bothered him these days were basically settled, and he was in a pretty good mood.

"Where's Wei Yan? Have you used anything?" As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, he asked about Wei Yan, and was about to walk towards the inner palace.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wei is resting in the outer ear room." When Gao Yong saw the emperor's behavior, he knew that the emperor was in a hurry to see Lord Wei, so he hurriedly greeted the emperor to the ear room.

Emperor Jing walked to the door of the ear room, waved his hand, and signaled the crowd not to follow, and walked in quietly.

The couch in the ear room is used for living, and it is too short for sleeping.Although Wei Yan's figure is not very tall, he can only sleep in a curled up position on this short couch.

When Emperor Jing saw this situation, he was afraid that he would not sleep well, so he walked to the couch, picked him up with a quilt, and planned to change another place for him to continue sleeping.

Wei Yan opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at the emperor who was holding him, and quickly closed them again.

His dazed and defenseless appearance makes people feel indescribable, maybe it can be said to be cute, of course Wei Yan's figure and appearance will definitely not give people such a feeling, but for a moment, Emperor Jing's heart is still The word cute came up, and he laughed slowly and silently, leaning over to kiss him.

Suddenly, at the moment when the skin touched, Wei Yan opened his eyes again, blinked vigorously, and seemed to finally see who the person in front of him was, his face suddenly changed color, and began to struggle.

"I just want to kiss you, I don't plan to do anything else. You are tired, I will help you change a place to sleep." Emperor Jing didn't let go, and hugged him tightly to prevent him from struggling.

However, if Wei Yan wanted to struggle, how could he not be able to struggle.Wei Yan used a little skill to break free from the emperor's restraint, and retreated a few feet before kneeling down to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being disrespectful." To fall asleep while waiting to see you is also a crime of disrespect.As for the reason why the emperor hugged him and kissed him, he didn't want to think about it.

"Wei Yan, what do you mean by that?" Emperor Jing approached him step by step.At this time, of course he was asking knowingly, how could he not understand the meaning of these words, Wei Yan's refusal had already been expressed in words and actions.They've done everything they should and shouldn't do between them, and now it's just a kiss, does it take such a big reaction?

Very well, in two nights, all his efforts of dozens of days were wasted.He is now beginning to regret his decision to let Wei Yannian go to Youzhou.

"I implore Your Majesty to be self-respecting." Wei Yan had already retreated to the door, but the emperor was still approaching him, and soon, there was no way for him to retreat.

Didn't she decide to let him go?Why do you still look like this?

He wanted to cry with grief in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help slipping away from the door.

"I don't understand what Qing means. However, I assure Qing that if you dare to go out of this door today, you will regret it." Emperor Jing knew what he wanted to do when he saw his appearance. While saying threatening words, he never stopped.

The figure approaching him was tall and mighty, covering him so that he had nowhere to escape.

"No." Wei Yan let out a low cry, and immediately rushed out.

If you don't see hope, maybe you don't have so much reluctance. If you have hope and then it is smashed severely, it is the real despair.

At the moment when the emperor approached step by step, Wei Yan suddenly understood that the emperor would not let him go easily. No matter how unwilling it is, it will continue to happen.

At that moment, he didn't care about anything and didn't want to care anymore, he just wanted to escape far away, before being swallowed by endless despair.
