The reborn sycophant

In the imperial study room, His Majesty the Emperor, who was listless, was yelling at the palace servants, Zhao Ji glanced at them, and stood quietly aside with Wei Chuyan, waiting for him to finish his training.This is something that has happened frequently recently, I don't know what this unlucky slave did not meet the emperor's wishes.

With the valued Prince Chu in front of him, Zhao Yu restrained his temper more or less. He ordered someone to punish the servant, and then talked to Zhao Ji about the matters above the court.Zhao Ji's answer was quite satisfactory, but when Zhao Yu asked about making peace with the Xiongnu, she seemed a little sharp. Her objection made Zhao Yu stunned for a long time, and then did not pursue her, but suddenly stroked his beard and laughed. Amidst Zhao Ji's doubts, he said "Okay", then sent her away, and talked with Wei Chuyan alone for a while.

Speaking of it, this should be the first time the emperor met Wei Chuyan alone.When Wei Chuyan first arrived in Chang'an, even though he had the great service of escorting the emperor's daughter, Zhao Yu was busy with other affairs. In his eyes, although he likes such characters, he would not summon a child alone for this.Later, Wei Chuyan grew up day by day, and gradually disappeared into the faction of noble concubines, making it even more difficult for the emperor to look sideways.

Until Zhao Ji was imprisoned, as Zhao Ji's companion and one of the most active members of the Eleventh Prince's faction at that time, Wei Chuyan's series of actions inevitably fell into the eyes of the emperor. A little reckless, but the passion and loyalty in her heart are indeed remarkable. Therefore, when the truth comes out, although he will be saddened by his children's unfilial piety, but at the same time, he will not easily forget Wei Chuyan. .

After he appointed Zhao Ji as the crown prince, in order to prevent the future new monarch from being sidelined by traitors and sycophants, he also secretly sent someone to carefully check Wei Chuyan.The news he got was the best kind of news. Wei Chuyan was just like Zhao Ji. He never formed a party for personal gain. After coming to Chang'an for many years, he didn't even recognize the rich and powerful. When she was an adult years ago, she took the position of a lieutenant in the Northern Army, and she worked as a street guard every day. Originally, her jurisdiction was very good, and it happened to be in the streets and alleys outside the imperial city that were full of dignitaries, but she He didn't take the opportunity to make some connections with those adults, which can be regarded as a breeze in his sleeves.

Of course, she is not a person who is accustomed to suffering. Zhao Yu knows that Zhao Ji has given Wei Chuyan a lot of property over the years, and those are children's small troubles, and the emperor doesn't care about them. The previous life-saving grace is there, Zhao Ji is a kind and polite child, if he is not given to him, he will feel strange.

These are the reasons why Zhao Yu appreciates Wei Chuyan, but the reason why he looks at Wei Chuyan differently, these are not the main reasons.

The main reason is that Wei Chuyan does not have a strong family.

It is true that Yu Nanwei's family is not a small family, and even one of the most prominent families in this dynasty.But that's something that needs to be paid attention to when Wei Chuyan has not separated. After learning that the big house of Wei's family has been separated, and after learning the whole story, Zhao Yu is really relieved.

Although he is very dissatisfied with his deteriorating situation, he is actually very clear about whether his health is good or not. He has stopped taking the pills, and he has also angered Jiang Li because of this, but once the medicine is stopped, the uncomfortable feeling often makes him feel sick. He felt that he might as well die at once.He has also lamented, unwilling to let it go, he is a determined and thoughtful person, and during these years as emperor, he has indeed lived up to the oath he made before his father's hospital bed, and gave the ancestors a prosperous life. Daqi.

If possible, he would like to sit in this position for a long time like this. The fairy pill that Jiang Li offered once did bring him back to his youthful days. After taking that pill, he always felt energetic, With a quick mind, he was once indulging in this illusion, feeling ecstatic.But reality is reality after all. After the imperial physician Zhong Ji became the second person to remonstrate with death, he suddenly understood that he could not become the No. 1 emperor who obtained eternal life, and no one would be able to do this in the future.

That being the case, why is he still jealous and even wants to knock down every child who will inherit his throne?Now the one who is in charge of the East Palace is Eleven, and he knows very well in his heart that if he wants to preserve his few bloodlines, letting Eleven be the new emperor is the best choice.

Because only eleven will not kill her brothers and sisters.

After figuring this out, Zhao Yu gradually began to train the prince. He asked Zhao Ji to supervise the country, and used it as an experience. Afterwards, his eyes finally fell on Zhao Ji's side and on Wei Chuyan.

He wanted Zhao Ji to have a few people around her who could only be driven by her, and worried that Ji was too emotional to control his close officials, just like Wei Chuyan, who had no home but his parents and was as clear as a lake The most suitable person is the most suitable person to be the emperor's close minister.

This person should not be too smart, not too greedy, it is better to be less courageous, of course Wei Chuyan is not timid, when Zhao Ji was imprisoned on the charge of regicide, and everyone in Concubine Wan Gui's family was silent, she dared to fight Officials from household to household visited the past. During the period, I did not know how many threats and stares they suffered, and they never stopped their steps.In the eyes of the emperor, this is a good thing and a bad thing, but she did all these things based on her loyalty to Eleven, so her shortcomings turned into advantages.

Although it was the first time to see the emperor alone, Wei Chuyan acted calm and composed. Zhao Yu saw it and nodded slightly.

"You are an official of Eleven. Just now I asked Eleven a question, and her answer did not satisfy me. Now tell me, do you agree with your master on this question? If so, why? ? If inconsistent, what is it for?"

Wei Chuyan knew that what he was talking about was "the Xiongnu exchanged orders, should we send the clan son to continue to make peace with the Xiongnu?" Zhao Ji's answer at that time was "no." The emperor asked the reason, and she said: "Now that Daqi's national power is prosperous and the army is working hard, it's not the time to start a dynasty. She doesn't want to send her brothers and sisters to the Huns. I hope that the father will think about it again."

The emperor had already said that Zhao Ji's answer could not satisfy him. Wei Chuyan was thinking about how to answer with a solemn face. After a while, she figured out the result and was about to speak when Zhao Yu's hoarse and majestic voice sounded again: " What have you been thinking about for so long? Just say what you want, don't learn from those ministers in the court, you have to think about it for a long time when you say something here!"

"Wei Chen is frightened."

Wei Chuyan changed her mind because of the emperor's words, a strong thought flashed in her mind, maybe this question is not important, what is important is what the answer to the question can reflect.

"Just say what you want, don't gossip."

"Your Majesty, this minister thinks that we should not get married."

Against the emperor's gaze, Wei Chuyan still gave the answer that the emperor was dissatisfied with.As soon as her words came out, Zhao Yu sat up straight, stared at her like an eagle, and laughed stupidly: "Oh? You also think that you shouldn't get married, so what's your reason?"

Wei Chuyan bowed to the ground: "Returning to Your Majesty, what Your Eleventh Highness said is not unreasonable. It is an expedient measure to make peace with my relatives. It is a compromise I made to the Huns when the Great Qi opened the dynasty to avoid further turmoil. Although the essence is reasonable Xun, it is affectionate but it also implies humiliation. The minister thinks that now that Da Qi has a strong army and horses, he can easily fight, and His Majesty shouldn't suffer from the separation of flesh and blood every ten years, or take advantage of this time. Yu Chuli overthrew this old rule."

"Oh? But what if the Huns take advantage of this to send troops to invade our border?"

"I think that the Xiongnu might not dare to send troops. The grasslands must be in turmoil just a few days after their new Shanyu ascended the throne. They will never dare to invade Daqi at this moment. Even if they dare to come, don't we dare to send troops? Your Majesty, this time One moment is not the other, my Daqi army will not be afraid of him, the Huns."

Wei Chuyan's analysis was reasonable, and even considered for the emperor.Zhao Yu was a little disappointed, he leaned back to get ready, and his voice suddenly became low: "I actually thought about what you said when I was young. Although Da Qi was not as powerful as he is now, he was still strong. I have rested enough, if I want to fight, I am not afraid. But do you know why I still insist on peace with the Xiongnu?"

Wei Chuyan didn't answer, Zhao Yu sighed, and asked again: "Wei Wei thinks, is it better to exchange one person's life for tens of thousands of lives, and one person's freedom for tens of years of stability for millions of people? Bad? Good or evil?"

Wei Chuyan was stunned: "Nature is good, and it is also good. If one person's death can benefit the world, then what is there to fear? If one person's lack of freedom can bring stability to the world, let alone a dozen Years, even a few years or a few months, is also a merit."

"Then, do you still insist on suspending the marriage? Sending the sons of the clan to marry, who hurts the most? In fact, it is me, the father, but my pain alone can change more than ten years of peace. Why don't I do this?" Something? Weiwei, you have disappointed me."

Zhao Yu sighed again, but he didn't sigh completely, but coughed slightly, and finally stopped, he said again: "I lied to you just now, but I am actually a little relieved by the answer of Eleven. She is still young, I I want her not to look at things with the eyes of an emperor, and I want her to retain some love for her brother and sister, so she doesn't want to be married, which makes me very happy, although I know she will eventually compromise, but who has never Have you ever fought?"

"But your answer disappointed me. Isn't it strange? You and Zhao Ji both have the same answer. Why do I like Eleven's, but I'm disappointed in yours?"

Zhao Yu suddenly raised his voice, and thunder rang in the imperial study, making the eunuchs guarding outside tremble.

"Now you know, how should you choose?"

The emperor gave him a second chance. If he was not stupid, he would know what to choose, but Wei Chuyan said: "I still insist on the point of view just now."

"Oh? How dare you openly disobey me, aren't you afraid of death?"

"Of course the minister is afraid, but His Majesty just said that the minister is the Crown Lady's subordinate official. The Crown Lady has expressed her thoughts before, so the minister cannot deviate from her, let alone change it."

Wei Chuyan lifted his official robe and knelt down slowly, with a firm and calm demeanor.Zhao Yu didn't expect to say such a conclusion after beating her, so he sat up straight again, glanced at her, then nodded, and said "OK" three times.

Wei Chuyan relaxed, she knew she had solved the problem.

The emperor's test was not actually a test of her views on the marriage, but a test of whether she knew how to be the emperor's close minister.

"The lieutenant is too young. Since you have the consciousness to be a female official, you should have a worthy official position. I think the Northern Army is a good place to go. You should stay there and be the commander of the Northern Army."

Zhao Yu laughed, and gave Wei Chuyan a real "good place".
