Chapter 106

After the autumn, Chu Shaoling indeed began to rectify trade. Now Chu Shaoling has opened up the passage between Da Chu and Western Yi, and the border trade has increased. At the beginning, it was just a small merchant and hawkers who traveled back and forth between the neighboring countries to buy and sell small things. This method has made huge profits. In less than a year, it has formed a climate. Some people have even begun to collude with Lizheng on the border and want to have a clear text of the government. Fortunately, the troops stationed on the border have not been transferred back, and the local officials dare not make any moves.

Wei Ji originally thought that Chu Shaoling was just going to re-set rules for border trade, but unexpectedly, Chu Shaoling had just rectified the border trade and then thoroughly investigated the salt administration, and then led to tea cases in the south, like snowballs, one after another. In the past few months, Chu Shaoling was several times more busy than when he ascended the throne.

"Make me a cup of ginger tea." Chu Shaoling put the note in his hand and whispered, "Give me orders and let them..."

Chu Shaoling raised his head and smiled: "Why are you getting up? Where is Wang Muhan?"

Wei Ji bowed slightly and handed the teacup to Chu Shaoling: "Eunuch Wang advised the emperor to sleep for a while, but the emperor refused to listen. Eunuch Wang had no choice but to ask me to come and persuade the emperor."

Chu Shaoling took Wei Ji's hand and asked someone to sit beside him. Wei Ji avoided him sideways and smiled and said, "The emperor always drinks such strong tea to harm his body. This is the Longjing that I brewed for the emperor. The emperor will try it."

Chu Shaoling took the teacup and tasted it, and put it down. He still pulled the Guards and asked him to sit with him. Guards and Guards could not sit in a corner next to Chu Shaoling. This place was not as good as a bedroom. Chu Shaoling sat a dragon chaise under him, and it was covered with bright yellow plate dragon pattern cushion. Guards were afraid that it would be inappropriate for people to see it, so he whispered: "It's just the time of Yin, it's not dawn yet. The emperor will go back and lie down for a while. I'll call the emperor to get up early when I go to the former minister."

Chu Shaoling rubbed his eyebrows and whispered: "It's okay. Although I have had more things in the past two months, I always feel that my spirit is better than before... Haha, I'm just working hard."

"There is nothing important to do below." Chu Shaoling raised his hand and rubbed the head of the guard halberd, "I haven't been with you for these days, are you blamed me?"

Wei Ji smiled: "I dare not. I have gained a lot of knowledge when I accompany the emperor to see Zhezichen every day. The emperor's intention... Has the tea case been turned into a result?"

Chu Shaoling nodded, took a letter from the desk and handed it to Wei Ji. He opened it and looked carefully. The folds were written with many people's names, including those who knew Wei Ji and those who said a few words. At the bottom was Chu Shaoling's Zhu Ci, with only one word: beheading.

Chu Shaoling twisted the earlobe of the guard halberd and smiled, "Are you going to plead for others again?"

Wei Ji shook his head: "The tea case is very involved. I have a shallow understanding. After following the emperor, I have listened to the emperor for so many days, but I have not understood what the cabinet adults said, so I dare not say anything more."

Chu Shaoling felt very comfortable. Wei Ji has always been like this. He is kind, but he will not help everyone. Wei Ji has always understood the rules and will not say a word to make him embarrassed. Chu Shaoling gently tapped Wei Ji's eyebrows: "I accompany me to court all day long, and after the court is dispersed, I have to follow the cabinet to listen to the old ministers quarrels. The third-rank officials outside do not know much about it, but you haven't figured it out yet?"

Wei Ji shook his head: "Sometimes I feel I understand, but sometimes I am very confused and don't quite understand what the emperor and the adults are talking about."

Chu Shaoling smiled and said softly: "After this matter... take you out for a walk? Stay in Qianshou Palace for a while?"

Wei Ji thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it, the Empress Dowager is sick, it's not good for the Emperor to leave the palace."

When the Empress Dowager Chu Shaoling mentioned the Empress Dowager, he frowned slightly and whispered: "The imperial doctor is useless. Since the Empress Dowager Qiu, the medicine has never stopped, but the disease has not improved at all. If the Empress Dowager had not persuaded me to kill those imperial doctors..."

Wei Ji covered his hand on the back of Chu Shaoling's hand and comforted him softly: "Didn't Zhang Yudian go to take the pulse of the Empress Dowager? Zhang Yudian's medical skills are so skillful that he will definitely be able to rejuvenate his life."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Hope."

Having said that, even the Imperial Hospital judge was helpless. Doctor Zhang couldn't prescribe a more clever prescription. Moreover, the Empress Dowager was old, and the Imperial Doctors dared not give heavy medicine. They prescribed prescriptions mainly for nourishing, and they were useless.

Wei Ji thought for a while and said, "Let's find more precious tonics to the Empress Dowager. I remember that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lord Wei of the Ministry of Rites gave me a box of golden eels. It was of good quality. I had the Curry in the Ganqing Palace at that time. The emperor would take it when he went to pay his respects in the morning."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "You are intent, I'll take it with you later."

When Chu Shaoling went to Ci'an Hall to pay his respects in the morning, he indeed brought the Gu Ji's intentions. The Empress Dowager glanced at him and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of Ai's family here, just keep it."

"I know that the emperor's grandmother has a lot of things." Chu Shaoling took the medicine bowl handed over by Madam Sun and personally served the Empress Dowager with medicine. He whispered, "Winter is coming soon. My grandson instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the earth dragon in Ci'an Hall had burned a month earlier this year. The emperor's grandmother is now weak and should not be cold anymore."

After taking the medicine, Chu Shaoling put the empty medicine bowl aside, took a handkerchief to wipe the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth, and smiled: "I'm afraid that the emperor's grandmother will get angry, so I'll just drink tea frequently when the time comes."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I know, the Ai family has felt better recently... The Ai family is still thinking that because of your father's funeral last year, you haven't had a good time this year. This year, why not invite the old princes to the imperial city and have a good time."

"Just do what the emperor's grandmother said." Chu Shaoling thought for a while, "I will send a letter to the old princes on the fiefdom tomorrow, and ask them to bring their families here early, and let people from the Zijun Hou Mansion and Antai Hou Mansion come to the palace to accompany the emperor's grandmother to celebrate the New Year together."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's not so urgent. By the way, when it comes to the Zijun Hou Mansion... Ai's family vaguely heard that Yun Yat-tou is not good?"

Chu Shaoling paused and smiled and said, "Where are you talking about it? My cousin is very good. Didn't he even give the emperor grandmother a sachet during the Qiqiao Festival? Don't you worry..."

"The Ai family is sick, not blind. Do you want to hide these things from the Ai family?" The Empress Dowager sighed, "Ling Yun's body has always known, and the Ai family is not as good as the Ai family. When her mother came back to pay her respects, the Ai family just asked a question, and her eyes turned red immediately. The Ai family didn't ask more details, but they also knew that it must be bad again. It's a pity that this child should have had great blessings."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and asked softly: "What's going on now? What did the imperial doctor say? Can't you save it? Give the Ai family a correct word."

Chu Shaoling pursed his lips and said exactly? Ling Yun had already gone half a month ago, but how could he tell the Empress Dowager? Chu Shaoling thought for a while and said, "It's really not good compared to before. I also gave the imperial doctor to see my cousin's luck. It's unknown if I'm young, it's better to take medicine for a while."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "How could Lingyun be favored in your grandfather's family? She has loved her since childhood because of her weakness. She can't raise her well. Now she is giving the imperial doctor to her, it's useless. Oh... I'm a pity for the child."

Chu Shaoling smiled and said, "It's not as powerful as he said. Who is disturbing the emperor's grandmother's ear and mouth is so uneasy?"

The Empress Dowager patted Chu Shaoling's back and said angrily: "Don't look for those slaves, don't you tell the Ai family anything. Will you still have an attack if someone tells the Ai family? Besides, it's not what the slaves said."

Chu Shaoling was told by the Empress Dowager and smiled: "The grandson is just a question."

"The Ai family doesn't know your little thoughts anymore." The Empress Dowager lazily leaned against the cushion and said slowly, "It's almost time for your father's sacrifice. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take care of you... The Ai family is out of energy to take care of."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "Yes, just turn around and tell them."

When the Empress Dowager mentioned the Empress Dowager was speechless. The Empress Dowager fell ill the year when the Empress Dowager died. He has never been recuperated since then. Now everyone has been away for a year. The Empress Dowager remembered the past and was still frustrated, and waved her hand and said, "I won't mention this."

Chu Shaoling quickly thought about something else to make the Empress Dowager happy. The grandparents and grandson chatted for almost an hour. Finally, Madam Sun urged the Empress Dowager to rest Chu Shaoling before leaving.

Chu Shaoling had just returned to the Qianqing Palace and found the guards and rushing to say, "Emperor, when I inspected Bitaoyuan today, I saw someone rectifying the yard there. I asked, saying that it was the emperor who asked him to clean up. The emperor... Bitaoyuan was the place where the emperor lived when he was a child, how could it be moved?!"

Chu Shaoling sighed in his heart. Sure enough, he was not allowed to take action first and then report. As soon as the Empress Dowager had to deal with the treasure, Chu Shaoling took the guard and sat down and whispered: "What a big deal, look at you're anxious..."

"They want to move Bitaoyuan, how can I not be anxious!"

Chu Shaoling laughed: "My face is blushing. OK, that's the case... I thought, it's a pity that the palace garden is empty, so it's better to clean it up for you to live in. But it used to be the prince's palace garden. If you live in many uncontrollable places, it will have to be changed. It just so happens that Bitao Garden has not been repaired for many years, so let the craftsmen clean up it up."

Wei Ji was stunned: "Let me live? Your Majesty... will you not let me live in Qianqing Palace?"

"No..." Chu Shaoling couldn't laugh or cry, "Of course, I'd still let you live here, just give the palace to you, and you can't live in empty space."

Wei Ji became even more confused: "If you don't let your ministers stay, why bother with them? If the censor knows, there will be another big fuss."

Chu Shaoling sighed in his heart. He couldn't tell Wei Ji about these things. Of course, he didn't want to send a palace to Wei Ji, but when Wei Ji had his own courtyard in the palace, this represented a lot of meaning. Those who owned a palace in the palace were extremely noble and had close ties with the emperor. If he pushed Wei Ji to this position, there would inevitably be a censor to advise him. Chu Shaoling had already expected it and found a way to refute it.

Some things come in this subtle way. First, let Wei Ji have his own place in the palace, so the following things will be easier to handle. What Chu Shaoling has to do is too shocking. It will take him several years to slowly realize it. The best result is that in the end, everyone thinks this is natural.

Of course, you can't tell Wei Ji directly. Chu Shaoling thought for a while and said, "There was no censor's report a few days ago, saying that you were not in harmony with Yuli in the Qing Palace? Now that you have to move out, what else do they have to say?"

Wei Ji laughed: "This is even more unethical!"

"Duke of Wei must protect the emperor at any time, what's there to say?" Chu Shaoling had already made the statement. "The prince's palace garden is very far away from the harem. It's okay. After renovating Bitao Garden, there is only one main gate. Those who live in it can only come forward, which is inconsistent with the harem, and there is no need to worry about the harem or chaos."

Chu Shaoling was afraid that he could not scare the Wei Ji, so he lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you think about it? Why did you give so many palaces to you Bitao Garden?"

Wei Ji paused and asked, "Why...?"

Chu Shaoling took the guard halberd and kissed it gently, sighed and said, "Who told me? When I was thirteen years old, I saw me when I passed by Bitaoyuan?"

Wei Ji's eyes suddenly became hot.

Chu Shaoling whispered: "Bitaoyuan is where I grew up, and it is also where we meet for the first time. I'll give it to you, won't it?"

Wei Ji could no longer refuse and nodded, "I... thank the emperor for the reward."

Chu Shaoling smiled and took advantage of the movement of the guards and hugged the person for a long time...
