weak to him

After the housekeeper said that the hot water was ready, Yu Zhijing wrapped Wei Han in his clothes, and carried him to the next bathroom to take a bath.

Sweating all over, Wei Han felt sticky all over his body, and felt indescribably comfortable after getting into the water.Yu Zhijing wiped Wei Han's body painstakingly with a cloth towel, Wei Han leaned against the pool and said, "Is there something wrong if you don't return to the palace at night?"

Yu Zhijing said: "It's okay, I asked the empress to cover me up, so others won't know that I didn't return to the palace."

Wei Han slept all afternoon. Although his head was still dizzy, he was no longer sleepy. He said with a complicated expression, "It's better not to bother the empress about our affairs."

Yu Zhijing raised Wei Han's arm and wiped it for him, saying: "You are too out of touch, if you ask the queen for anything, the queen will be so happy."

"..."

"You're not that stupid anymore." Wei Han pinched Yu Zhijing's soft waist and said, "But where's your conscience?"

"Oh... let go, let go!" Yu Zhijing fell into the water and almost choked, "You still bully me when I'm sick! You've obviously eaten my conscience."

Enjoying Yu Zhijing's service, Wei Han sighed comfortably: "It's really hard to be sick, I don't want to be sick again."

……

Wei Han's illness lasted for almost half a month before he recovered. The weather finally cleared up this day, and Wei Han came to the yard to get some air.After lying on the bed for so long, he felt that the muscles in his waist were about to atrophy.

Du Juan wrinkled his face and said, "Even if the young master wants to go outside, he should wear thick clothes."

Wei Han stretched his arms and said, "Did you know that it's not easy for people to get sick again after a period of time after they recover, and I'm in this stage now."

Du Juan opened his blank eyes and asked, "Why?"

"You still don't understand." Wei Han looked at the golden sunlight reflected by the white snow and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival, right?"

"Yes, young master, do you want to go out? The general said that you are not allowed to go out."

"Whose maid are you?" Wei Han looked at her and said, "You are my maid, I already have my own mansion, Wei Liao can't control me anymore, and he can't control you either."

Du Juan said aggrievedly: "But..."

"No but." Wei Han put his hand on Du Juan's shoulder and said, "You are under my control now, no matter how big or small you are, I will marry you to Zhao Yi."

Dujuan: "..."

"Go, make a pot of tea for my master." Wei Han pointed forward.

Du Juan ran away in horror, and Zhao saw that Du Juan was so afraid of marrying him.He squinted his eyes and looked at Du Juan's back, "Why did you threaten her by marrying me?"

Wei Han smiled and said, "Isn't it a terrible thing to marry you? How effective do you think it is?"

Zhao Yi: "..." Zhao Yi didn't bother to talk to Wei Han, he would listen to such boring things less in the future.

Every time such an important festival, Yu Zhijing would never have the chance to sneak out.Because there were countless people staring at him in the palace, if he didn't come out, Wei Han had no choice but to play in the street by himself.Originally, he wanted to be with Wei Liao, but Wei Liao went somewhere early in the morning.

Finally, the one who walked down the street with Wei Han was Gan Yong, the new Minister of Housekeeping.

Gan Yong and Wei Han walked side by side, and said: "The Minister of Rites has been vacant for a while, I think the emperor wants you to recommend someone, who do you want to recommend?"

"If I knew who to recommend, this position wouldn't be vacant for so long." Wei Han put his hands in his sleeves and said, "My foundation in the court is still too weak."

"How old are you?" Gan Yong said: "The foundation is accumulated slowly. When you reach my age, the situation should be much better."

Gan Yong was ten years older than Wei Han, and in ten years' time the situation would not only be much better, it would be earth-shaking.Thinking of ten years later, Wei Han thought that at that time, he might become a powerful minister with power over the court. If he wanted to sleep with the emperor, he would sleep with the emperor, and the ministers would not even dare to fart.

Gan Yong didn't know what Wei Han was thinking, he said: "Is your brother's wedding date approaching?"

"I haven't written off my horoscope yet." Wei Han didn't dare to say more on this topic, so he said, "I just met Miss Lu's family twice."

"If you really want this sister-in-law, why don't you ask for an imperial decree?" Gan Yong said with a smile, "Why bother?"

Wei Han smiled and said nothing, he knew what Gan Yong was thinking, and of course he also understood the pain in Gan Yong's heart.The young man in front of him fell in love with an idiot for ten years, but that idiot didn't know anything about it, and he was about to remarry in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Wei Han looking at him, Gan Yong thought he was worried about what he would do.He said: "You don't have to worry, I've already figured it out. Instead of suppressing this thought all the time, it's better to forget about it. Can a man like me still not find someone who truly loves me?"

Wei Han heaved a sigh of relief: "It's great that you can think so. If I go and tell the emperor, you don't have to go to Suzhou."

"I still have to go." Gan Yong's dark eyes reflected the lights all over the street, "I haven't been out of Beijing for many years, so it's okay to go to see him, anyway, it's not a troublesome errand."

"Satomi, Satomi?"

Wei Han turned his head and saw Chen Shu holding a rabbit lantern in his hand, calling him from behind.Seeing that Wei Han stopped, he ran over and said, "You must have heard me, I've been calling you for a long time."

Chen Shu said to Gan Yong, "I've seen Master Gan."

"When you come out to play during the Lantern Festival, there is no need to be formal." Gan Yong smiled kindly.

Wei Han said, "Come out to play alone?"

"That's right." Chen Shu said with a smile: "At first I wanted to ask some colleagues to come out together, but it's inconvenient for me to follow along with my colleagues."

Wei Han smiled and said, "Isn't there Jia Yong? He's not with you?"

"Brother Jia?" Chen Shu said with a smile, "Brother Jia has an appointment with a beautiful woman, so how can you still remember me?"

Chen Shu stuffed the rabbit lantern into Wei Han's hand and said, "This is for you."

Wei Han looked at the rabbit's red eyes and wondered, "Why did you give me this?"

"I gave you a gift during the Lantern Festival, and why do you ask?" Chen Shu said, "Just take it as it is given to you."

Wei Han didn't believe it and said, "I don't believe this is some kind of Lantern Festival gift. Could it be that you are tired and want to throw it to me to lighten your burden?"

"Did you see all this?" Chen Shu said with annoyed expression, "It must be because I acted too unnaturally."

The two were talking here, and Gan Yong went to a quieter place alone.He bought a river lantern on the side of the road and walked towards the Heiyu River, and he wrote the word Wei Liao on the river lantern.He squatted down and put the river lantern into the river. Every year during the Lantern Festival, he would put a river lantern in the river. The same words were written on the river lantern, and this might be the last one.

"A Liao, that lamp is so beautiful, grab that one."

There are people waiting to catch the lanterns downstream. It is said that catching the river lanterns made by others will bring good luck.

"Ah! Got it."

Probably the one named Ah Liao caught that, and the girl made a sound of excitement.

"Wei Liao? Ah Liao, your name is written on the river lantern."

Gan Yong suddenly trembled, and hid in the shade of a tree beside him.

Wei Liao said: "Could it be the same name and surname?"

"I don't think so." Lu Miaomiao said: "You must have provoked some girl, and she wrote your name on the river lantern."

"What's the matter, which girl can I provoke?"

"Hmph, you are not a small person for provoking girls, you even used the art of war."

Wei Liao begged for mercy, "You can avoid me. Didn't you forgive me just because I gave you fifty lanterns? Why are you still mentioning this?"

"I'm going to say it, not only now, but also to my children in the future..."

"child?"

Gan Yong fled in a hurry, but Wei Han was no longer there.Wei Han and Chen Shu didn't know where they went all the way, Chen Shu said: "I wanted to see you when you were sick, but something happened at home, and I always found opportunities."

"What's the matter?" Wei Han said, "Nothing serious happened, right?"

"No." Chen Shu looked at Wei Han with a smile on his face and said, "Can I ask you something?"

Chen Shu seldom talked to himself in such a serious tone, so Wei Han became serious and said, "What can I ask for? Back when my brother was in prison, didn't you help me without saying anything?"

"Oh." Chen Shu looked up at the bustling Kyoto and said, "I want to release it in advance."

"Huh?" Wei Han looked at him, and logically said that Chen Shu would have to stay in the Imperial Academy for two or three years before he had the chance to be released. Why did he want to leave Beijing now?

"Don't be surprised." Chen Shu said: "Your boy has shown his talents in the officialdom of the capital, and I don't want to lag behind? But the qualifications are there, even if there is a vacancy, I can't fill it. Why don't you let me go out of Beijing? There is me somewhere. Opportunity to show off.”

Wei Han thought about it, he was short of people around him now, if Chen Shu could be released early, he would be able to help him earlier.Thinking of this, Wei Han said: "The case of the prefect of Suzhou has been thoroughly investigated in the case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and he can't escape the result of exile. Originally, I planned to promote someone locally, but if you want to go, I can arrange it for you."

"It couldn't be better than this." Chen Shu said with a smile: "There is a heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. You arranged me in such a paradise on earth. I don't know how to thank you?"

"You have nothing to thank me for." Wei Han said: "Master Gan will go to the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau soon, you can go with him, and you will feel more comfortable traveling with the imperial envoy."

That's how things are settled, and there are a lot of things after the New Year's Eve.Wei Han recovered from his illness and went to court, and every day he could see Xiao Ran pull out a long memorial, and then talk about it.Yu Zhijing sat on the dragon chair and had nothing to love. He heard that there was an emperor in the previous dynasty who did not go to court for several years, so he was very yearning and wanted to emulate him.But after being slapped on the head by Wei Han, he dismissed the idea.

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the snow disaster in the northwest region is getting worse. The grasslands in the northern Mongolian region are covered by snow. Countless cattle and sheep starved to death. A few Mongolians began to plunder in the border areas."

Yu Zhijing was furious when he heard that, and said, "You dare to plunder our Dayong border? I will send troops to conquer Mongolia!"

"Your Majesty, you can't!" Fu Yan came out and said, "Because the treasury has given out a lot of silver to help the disaster, and now the treasury is empty, it is difficult to support the army to fight. I think it is not possible to go to war at this time."

Yu Zhijing said angrily: "If you don't start a war, will you just sit back and watch it harm the people of Great Rong?"

Xiao Ran said: "I don't care about right and wrong, I think what they did is justifiable. The grassland tribes depend on cattle and sheep for their livelihood. Now that countless cattle and sheep have starved to death, it is understandable that they came to plunder when they were desperate."

Wei Han glanced at Xiao Ran, Da Rong had been kept by civil servants for many years, and his status as a general was lowly.In order to continue to maintain a detached position, civil servants hate fighting the most, because they will never lead troops to fight again, and they still have to rely on generals to fight.Therefore, the civil servants would not fight if they could not fight, and they would not send troops until they couldn't bear it.

Xiao Ran said: "As long as the envoys send relief food and grass to the Mongolian tribes, they will naturally not harass the border of Dayong."

Wei Liao stood up and said, "The victims of our great glory don't have enough food and grass to feed themselves. Where can we get food and grass for the Mongols?"

Xiao Ran said: "There is still some crowding, why don't we distribute some border relief food and grass to the Mongolian tribes."

Wei Han rolled his eyes, walked out and said, "Instead of giving these grains to foreigners, why don't we give them to border soldiers and send troops to guard the border so that foreigners cannot invade?"

"National natural disasters, how can we use swords again?" Xiao Ran glared at Wei Han and said, "Natural disasters are warnings from the heavens. The king and his ministers should act benevolently and righteously. If the swords are revived again, the peace of heaven will be harmed. When the natural disasters get worse, who will be responsible? ?”

"Snow disaster is a celestial phenomenon, as long as the relief is timely, it will be fine." Wei Han said loudly, "What does this have to do with war?"

Gan Yong came out and said: "I also agree to send troops to the border. If foreigners invade Da Rong and only ask for peace with food and grass, what is my Da Rong's integrity?"

Wei Liao knelt on the ground and said: "I am willing to lead the army to go out and never let foreigners invade our land."

Yu Zhijing wanted to fight, and he said excitedly: "Okay! I will join you with a hundred thousand soldiers, and level the grassland for me!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ran's eyes darkened, he managed to stabilize his body and said: "The emperor doesn't want to give Mongolia food and grass, what's the matter, and you want to use swords and soldiers?"

Yu Zhijing said: "Prime Minister, they all came at the gate of Dayong."

Xiao Ran thought that he couldn't make sense with the little emperor, so it's better to take a step back and said: "It's better to increase the troops on the border to guard the country's gates. You only need to block the grassland cavalry, and you must not go out of the city to fight."
