23. Chicken soup extra
"Smack!"
The brown and yellow recital was impartial, and it happened to fall at the feet of the little eunuch who had just opened the curtain and entered, so frightened that the little eunuch's face turned white, and he almost threw away the hot water he was carrying in his hand and knelt down to plead guilty.
Seeing this, Huai En hurriedly came over, took the things in the little eunuch's hand, and glared at him with hatred, how could he serve by the emperor's side if he was so timid.
If it weren't for the fact that now was not the time, he would have wanted to twist the other party's ears and teach him a good lesson, after all, this is the only godson he has received, how can he do such a bad thing, he still expects him to support his old age.
Wynne waved his hand, out of sight and out of mind, he quickly retreated, and then walked over with hot water himself, the water vapor steamed, and the slightly bitter tea fragrance wafted in the air.
Huai En respectfully handed over the teacup, and said with a smile: "The emperor is angry, this anger is not worth it." โ
For Huai'en, Ji Ji has always had two respects, and this respect has not changed since he became emperor.
He couldn't bear to brush off the other party's kindness, took the tea cup and took a sip, the unique bitterness and astringency of tea diffused among the taste buds, just like his depressed state of mind at the moment.
Huai En picked up the fold back, and knew why the emperor was so angry at a glance, he carefully observed the emperor's face, and comforted: "This old lady is also in a hurry to come, forgive the slave and maid for saying more, the emperor is the lord of all peoples, and it is not a matter that this harem is always empty." โ
Ji Ji put down the cup, he didn't get angry again, but glanced at Huai En and said, "How many people have come to you?"
"That's a lot. Father-in-law Huaien laughed, "The emperor has long passed the age of marriage, but he has been reluctant to stand up for a long time, and the adults in the court are also anxious, the harem has no owner, and the emperor has no children and no daughters under his knees, so he can't calm people's hearts after all." โ
"Could it be that I married a wife to show them?" Ji Ji was disgusted.
"But you are the emperor, the royal family is selfless. โ
Huai'en's simple words to the emperor made Ji Ji silent.
He ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, six years after the massacre paralyzed the entire court, and it was under those circumstances that there were few survivors left.
Others think that being the emperor is free, how can a person who controls the authority of the world not be at ease? But Ji Ji's only feeling is that he is tired, during that time, Ji Ji got up earlier than a rooster every day, slept later than anyone else, and sometimes the lights in the imperial study would be on all night long.
To stabilize the court that was about to collapse, to appease people's hearts, and to fill those vacant positions, Ji Ji put all his efforts on government affairs.
Excessive busyness can make him forget his pain for a while, and there is a reason, but no amount of busyness can make him forget his hatred!
For six years, he never gave up looking for Yan Changsheng's traces, and he even decreed that anyone who captured Yan Changsheng alive would be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, and he would be crowned loyal and brave, hereditary for three generations, and those who brought up his head to see him would be given a thousand acres of fertile land, sealed and waited, and even as long as he provided his whereabouts, he could be rewarded by the emperor.
In the past six years, it's not that no one has brought the news of the so-called Yan Changsheng, it's just that most of them are some charlatans who covet glory and wealth.
Ji Ji is the emperor, and the entire Ming Dynasty is his, but he can't find anyone's whereabouts, the other party is like the world has evaporated, and no one has found him for so many years.
Ji Ji hated that person, hated so much that he wanted to inflict all the torture in this world on him, that person not only brought a catastrophe that almost broke the entire Ming inheritance, but also killed the most important person in his life.
The faint pain in his chest made Ji Ji close his eyes and refuse to think about it.
"I will consider the matter in the future, you go and tell them, put more attention on government affairs, don't stare at my harem all day long!"
Ji Ji didn't know what Huai En said to them, but the folds that urged him to find a woman in the past few days were gone, making his eyes a lot clearer, although Ji Ji knew that this was only temporary, as an emperor, it was necessary to be established, and he used all kinds of excuses to drag it out for a few years, but it was impossible to drag it on forever.
He suddenly remembered the kind of liking that Lin Shiyin had told him a long time ago, and he thought that he probably wouldn't know that kind of liking in his life, as Ji Ji, he could find it slowly, waiting for the kind of fate that Lin Shiyin had told him, but as Zhu Youzhang, he couldn't.
Ji Ji is a good emperor, more diligent than his father, serious, wise, the current court was set up by him, he is extremely loyal to him, he could have been a โกโก emperor, single-handedly control the world, but he didn't, he is humble and polite, willing to listen to the opinions of all courtiers, he treats people kindly, even if the people below make mistakes, as long as they don't touch his bottom line, he will be more tolerant.
He is kind, but he is by no means weak, he is easy to treat people, and he will not lose the majesty of the emperor because of this.
A dynasty that was originally on its way to decay, as he began to regain his vitality.
When Lin Shiyin's letter was sent, it happened to be after the autumn season, and everything that should have been busy was over, and when the whole body was relaxed, he happened to receive Lin Shiyin's letter, and Ji Ji was happy.
What made him even happier was that it was still a happy event in the letter, Lin Shiyin's first child was born, a boy.
Ji Ji thought about it, and decided to take this trip, of course he wanted to see Lin Shiyin's child with his own eyes, besides, he and Lin Shiyin hadn't seen each other for a year, and the last time they met was when the other party got married, although he didn't like Li Xunhuan very much, but helplessly, Lin Shiyin liked it, in order to make her happy, he could only grit his teeth and admit it.
The holy decree he personally issued sent Li Xunhuan, who was hesitant and entangled, to Lin Shiyin's side, as for Long Xiaoyun, who Li Xunhuan felt indebted? Hehe, does he know it? But anyone with a little brain will not stand up and obstruct the emperor's eyes, but fortunately, Long Xiaoyun is not stupid to the end.
But if the emperor wants to leave the palace, this departure is still more than a month, and the ministers of the court will not agree to it in the first place, but Ji Ji looks soft, but once he makes a decision, no one can change it.
Fortunately, after all these years of rectification, the court and the central government are in order, even if he is temporarily missing as an emperor, there will definitely be no chaos.
So, half a month later, Lin Shiyin was surprised and delighted when she saw an emperor in her yard who was out on patrol, but the surprise was definitely greater than the joy.
"Sister Shiyin, long time no see. Ji Ji smiled, his smile was as warm as jade.
Lin Shiyin's child has just been full moon, white and chubby, so cute that people can't help but want to take a bite, the child is still young, I can't tell whether he looks more like his father or his mother, Ji Ji of course hopes to be more like Lin Shiyin, then he will like him more.
After Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan were together, they did not stay in Li Yuan, but went back to the familiar small courtyard in Chen Sheng County, she was still the Lin girl who made the people below dare not take a breath with a whip, but the position of the county magistrate of Chen Sheng County has been empty.
That position is Yan Xiubai, Ji Ji doesn't want this only trace to be replaced by others, a county order that will always be vacant, this is not in line with the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, but so what, he is the emperor, he is gentle and polite, but at this point he wants to be willful.
After all, the internal affairs of Chen Shengxian County are to be dealt with, and in the end, Li Xunhuan took on this responsibility, a dignified Tanhualang, a well-known Xiao Li Feidao in the rivers and lakes, now living here, dealing with trivial matters up and down the county, working hard and complaining, the chic freedom of the sword and rivers and lakes is all gone, I have to say that for Lin Shiyin, he did have sacrifices.
Because of this, although Ji Ji didn't like him, he still recognized him, otherwise he wouldn't have personally refined the medicine every year and let people send it to him.
Li Xunhuan can live to this day, and even holds his son in his hands, Ji Ji is indispensable.
Lin Shiyin did not ride a horse or ride a car, she carried a basket on her arm and walked out of the city with Ji Ji.
Six years have passed, and some people still remember the original little Doctor Ji, Ji Ji was walking on the road, and from time to time someone would come over to greet him, asking him where he had gone, whether he was doing well, and finally said the most, it was still the original county magistrate.
When Lin Shiyin brought the news back, everyone couldn't believe it, from the initial suspicion to the later confirmation, and finally countless people set up tablets for him at home.
Ji Ji sometimes can't believe it, he just left for a while, why was it a corpse that was brought back, that person was so powerful, he had always been in front of him and Lin Shiyin, his back was straight, that was the most fearless back in the world, how could such a person fall? !
The man was lying on the ground, his eyes were closed, he was not breathing, his blue robe was covered with blood, and the fatal wound on his chest, that scene became a nightmare for Ji Ji in his life.
There is a small high slope ten miles to the east of Chen Sheng County, the scenery here is beautiful, you can see a corner of the sea to the east, you can see the whole picture of Chen Sheng County to the west, Yan Xiubai was buried here.
Ji Ji once thought about burying him in the capital, and even finding a place for him in the imperial mausoleum, and when he died in the future, he could also be a companion, but in the end he dispelled such an idea, the other party should prefer this place to the imperial mausoleum.
Lin Shiyin lifted the cloth covering the basket, took out the incense, candles, tributes and other items inside, and placed the things one by one in front of the tomb, before she said: "I can't believe that he is really dead to this day, don't they all say that the scourge will last for a thousand years, how could he die so early for such a big scourge." โ
Ji Ji pursed his lips and didn't speak, he was afraid that he would cry, he was already the emperor, and the emperor couldn't cry.
"Yan Changsheng, are you still looking for it?" Lin Shiyin asked.
"If I live for a day, I won't give up. Ji Ji's voice was firm.
Lin Shiyin didn't persuade, sometimes it's good to have a target of hatred, why don't she want to find out that person and dismantle it.
Ji Ji didn't stay in Chen Sheng County for a few days, after all, he was no longer an ordinary Ji Ji, he was still Zhu Youzhang, and he had to be responsible for the position he was sitting in now.
When he came out, he came out silently, and when he returned to Beijing, he returned to Beijing as low-key, the palace was the most luxurious cage in the world, and his whole person was firmly trapped, and he couldn't escape in this life.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and before Ji Ji opened his eyes, he had already heard a noise outside.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"When I returned to my master, the cart carrying grain overturned and blocked the road. โ
Ji Ji lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen bags of grain falling to the ground in a mess.
"Go and help. He commanded, and just as he was about to close the curtain, he saw that the curtain of a sedan chair not far away happened to be lifted.
A face poked out of the sedan chair, upright and beautiful, not a very outstanding appearance, but the slightly raised peach blossom eyes were exceptionally clear, even if they didn't smile, they were full of love.
Ji Ji closed the curtain, was silent for a moment, and said, "Go and find out, which girl is sitting in the cyan sedan chair next to you." โ
Why do you need to find something you like, Ji Ji can find someone who is in love, but Zhu Youzhu must not ignore the overall situation for the sake of personal feelings, the last thing he wants to do in his life is someone like his father
