A few days later, a rumor leaked out of the harem.

At first, it was said that when the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor calculated the day of the farming of the emperor this year, he accidentally learned about the birth date of the Wei Ji Duke Wei Ji in the Ganqing Palace. The Imperial Heavenly Supervisor took the Wei Ji back to calculate the details. He didn't know what the result was. He only knew that from that day on, the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor suddenly became ill and could not even get up. However, after drinking the Imperial Medicine Medicine medicine, he forced to go to the Ganqing Palace and begged to see the emperor. The emperor agreed and held everyone away and talked with the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor for almost an hour. After that, the emperor rewarded the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor for many treasures and issued a seal order to make the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor safe and not tell others anything else.

Why do you still have to be so sneaky after rewarding? The more you are, the more curious others are. What did the monarch and minister say in that hour?

Naturally no one dared to ask the emperor. There have been many people asking indirectly, but Zheng Qi was very strict and did not reveal a single word. No matter how others asked him, he only said that the emperor had given orders. This matter was very important and he could not disclose it.

Everyone's appetite has been suffocated. What's going on? Is this year a disaster year? Or is the broom star coming to the world?

Just when everyone was about to give up, they suddenly spoke.

That day, I was drinking outside. After getting drunk, I smiled at the few small officials who were with me, "We have a good time. With a new emperor, the world will be like this in a few years. If you wait for a few years, you will definitely be able to create a prosperous era."

One of them was half drunk and smiled and said, "The emperor is wise, who doesn't know this? You can tell me."

He was shaking his head with his tongue wide: "What I said is not flattery, look at it, what I said is true. Do you believe it or not? It takes ten years to go to Da Chu Guoli to be comparable to the prosperous Huaqing period."

The man burped and laughed, "Did you know again? How did you know?"

Just as he smiled, he deliberately lowered his voice: "I went to the Qing Palace that day and was about to run into the emperor's instructing General Wang to buy a substitute for Duke Wei. The emperor said that Duke Wei's three disasters and nine difficulties will always be a bloody disaster. I want to buy a substitute for Duke Wei in Donghua Temple. I was on the side, and the emperor gave me the birth date and horoscope of Duke Wei and asked me to calculate whether there is any disaster in his life. It must be resolved early..."

When the little official heard that it was the previous incident, he suddenly became energetic and asked, "Then what? What did you calculate?"

The sir, "It's not bad. This calculation almost cost me my life. Alas... the words and secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. As expected, after I calculated the horoscope of Duke of the Kingdom of Wai, I immediately became ill, alas..."

When several people heard this, their eyes widened, and they held the arm of the commander and urged: "How? What is the fate of Duke of the Kingdom of Defense?"

Just as he yawned, his eyelids were about to close. He shook his head and whispered: "The emperor will not let him say... I will only tell you that with the Duke of Wei, the world will always get better and better. He... is born to assist our emperor. With him, everything will be impossible to make mistakes..."

Just as he seemed to be very drunk, he slid down the table and fell asleep while lying on the ground.

The remaining few people helped Zheng Qi up and shook him for a long time but couldn't wake him up. A small official whispered: "What happened some time ago... was related to Duke Wei. No wonder the emperor issued a ban order, and no one allowed him to say it..."

One man thoughtful and said for a while: "So that's it... Speaking of this, I remember an old thing. Do you still remember that year? When the emperor was still a prince, he went out of the city to perform the farming ceremony on behalf of the late emperor. On the way, I met a group of assassins. At that time, I was serving in the palace. I heard that the Duke of Wei, the guards of the guards at that time, had blocked a knife for the emperor and were touched on the arm! I remember it was really true. If it weren't for the guards, the emperor wouldn't... Bah, I was speechless..."

The person next to him was aroused and hurriedly said, "If you say that, I remember something too! I heard that when the emperor was expeditioning to the West, the Princess of Xiyi broke into the military camp with the assassin. The Duke of Wei pretended to be the crown prince and was held hostage by the Princess of Xiyi for the sake of the emperor! Fortunately, Master Wei was good at taking out the words of the Princess of Xiyi and took down the person. If the emperor was holding him...ah, I dare not think about it..."

Everyone nodded and said, "The Duke of Wei made great efforts in the war between the Western Yi, thanks to Duke Wei, tsk..."

"Can this Duke of Wei be sent by God to assist our emperor?"

One of them lowered his voice: "Why don't the emperor let the general tell me? Are you afraid that others will rob the Duke of Wei? I'll say... The emperor has been so happy in the past few years. Think about it, what happened when Empress Ling just died? Later, she was successfully appointed as the king and the crown prince. Now she is the emperor. What about Concubine Li and the second prince who were so favored back then? Now the grass on the tomb has grown, alas..."

One of them drank the least, and when he saw everyone talking, he was less and less concerned, he interrupted, "Everyone! You guys... No matter what, it has nothing to do with us. It is natural that Da Chu is getting more and more prosperous. Now we only drink wine, don't talk about state affairs..."

Everyone came back and said nothing more, but they still started drinking. The Imperial Heavenly Superintendent who was helped to lie on the couch aside sighed. The emperor told him that he had done his best, let's see what happened later.

The rumors about Wei Ji just came out, because they were afraid of Chu Shaoling, and everyone was secretly talking about it, and everyone was secretly secretly. It was already summer when this was heard by Wei Ji.

During the holidays, eight pots of ice were placed in the Qianqing Palace. Chu Shaoling leaned on the imperial chaise longue to read the memorial. Wei Ji poured a cup of plum soup for Chu Shaoling and sent it. Chu Shaoling didn't take it. His eyes stopped on the memorial and turned his head slightly. Wei Ji had no choice but to deliver it to Chu Shaoling's mouth. Chu Shaoling drank two sips with Wei Ji's hand and nodded and said, "This plum soup is good. I'll send some to Ci'an Palace when I come back. The Empress Dowager has become increasingly unhappy these days. It's better to use some food to digest food."

Wang Muhan, who was serving outside, heard the instructions and hurriedly continued. Chu Shaoling took the red pen and wrote a few words on the memorial and threw them aside.

Wei Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at the clover, and whispered: "Is there any news over Yun Nian?"

"Yeah." Chu Shaoling nodded, with a look of satisfaction on his eyebrows and eyes. "The Westerners worked hard to cultivate. In just half a year, they had to open up so many wastelands. All the fertile lands were planted before. Now, three of the food collected can be supplied to the entire Westerners for the New Year. I have already explained that the rest will be transported through the canal transportation..."

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "If this continues... we can raise some taxes to Yunnan next year."

"The emperor thought twice." Wei Ji frowned slightly, "The Westerners have not had a trace of it in the past six months. They have also opened up so many wastelands for me, Da Chu. The emperor just won't reward him. How can he raise taxes? Now that the imperial tomb has not been built, there are no wars, how can the emperor set a precedent for adding taxes without reason?"

Chu Shaoling smiled faintly: "Duke of Wei, the Westerners have been my slaves from great Chu for generations, and their lives are mine. So what if I collect a few more stones of food?"

Wei Ji has already had his own tricks to deal with Chu Shaoling, and said softly: "But the emperor has the world and is compassionate to the people, so he will definitely not let his people suffer."

People? Chu Shaoling never regarded the Western barbarians as people. No matter how nice Chu Shaoling said outside, he was always on guard against these people from Liao and Liang, otherwise the garrisons in Yunnan would not have been recalled.

Chu Shaoling raised his hand and shaved his face on Wei Ji: "It's useless to be sweet."

Wei Ji paused and smiled: "Then I can't do it anymore. I dare not learn from the censors' advice, and I dare not learn from the censors' kneeling for a long time. I can only say a few words to make the emperor happy to please. The emperor... The Western Yi people have heavy taxes, so there is no need to add taxes."

Chu Shaoling shook his head: "Forget it, listen to you."

Wei Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have heard some strange words recently. Do you know if the emperor knows?"

Wei Ji knew it, and if he couldn't pretend clearly, he would be more obvious. Chu Shaoling smiled and said, "But you said you were sent by God to help me?"

Wei Ji nodded and asked in a low voice: "The emperor has known for a long time why he didn't order this misunderstanding?"

Chu Shaoling leaned into the imperial chaise longue and pulled the Wei Ji up, pursed his hair and thought about it, "It's just what the people in the palace are bored and say. Besides, it's not a bad thing. Why do you have to be serious?"

Wei Ji was angry: "They said that the emperor was able to go all the way because he had ministers and helped him. What did he say? Do they know how much the emperor suffered back then? Besides, where did it go? It was better this half a year. Before, the emperor was not planning any day, and they didn't know anything, and they attributed the emperor's full of strategies to this illusory thing!"

Chu Shaoling laughed. He never expected that Wei Ji had thought of this. Chu Shaoling smiled and lowered his head and kissed Wei Ji's eyebrows: "I thought you didn't like the rumors that others spread you. It turned out to be... Haha, I don't care. I'm happy to count my credit on you."

"I am not happy." Speaking of this Gu Ji, I remembered something again, and couldn't help but whisper, "Now... there are still people behind my back, saying that the emperor is cruel. What are these people's intentions? I am so old and have never seen anyone better than the emperor. The emperor treats people very well. They don't know, they just talk nonsense..."

Chu Shaoling laughed, and only this stupid thing always thought he was a good person. Chu Shaoling smiled: "It's okay... they only dare to talk behind the scenes. When they really come to me, who is not respectful? If you are dissatisfied with me, you can just talk to me in person. Behind me, you are just a coward."

Wei Ji lowered his eyes and said nothing. After a while, he remembered what he had said before, and looked up and said, "The emperor has ordered that those words be banned. I dare not take the emperor's credit."

"There is nothing wrong, what's the point of lying out a confession? It's so boring." Chu Shaoling said without much care, "They will naturally know my merits in the future."

Wei Ji was moved when he heard this. Since Chu Shaoling ascended the throne, he reorganized the dynasty. After Chu Shaoling's purge, everything became orderly. Now the matter in Yunnan has come to an end. He heard Chu Shaoling say that the merchants will be rectified. In the next few years, Da Chu will have a new scene.

Chu Shaoling was full of complacent heart, everything was going according to his plan. Take your time. Before holding the Wei Ji to the rear, he would clear all obstacles for the Wei Ji, then hold his hand and personally send him to the throne.

The author has something to say: I will explain something first. I will start the exam tomorrow. Time is too fast, so I am very embarrassed to stop the update tomorrow. The update will be resumed the day after tomorrow. T-t, and the hope of completing before New Year's Day seems to be slim...
