Since Chu Shaoling ascended the throne, he has been scolded by censors and censors, but this year has not been as powerful as the one in the morning court.

Chu Shaoling had long been used to dealing with the people from the Censorate and smiled and said, "Liu Aiqing is too worried. It's just a small palace. I'll just take a break in the gaps. It's just a matter of the country."

Liu Jiabo of the Censorate was just promoted this year. He was born in a poor family, without party or faction, and was the most careless person. After hearing Chu Shaoling's words, Liu Jiabo said, "The emperor's words are wrong. The emperor's family affairs are state affairs. There is no reason for men to enter and leave freely in the harem. If he was guarding the emperor, it would be fine. How could he establish a palace for the Wei State in the harem? My great Chu has no precedent since Taizu."

As soon as this statement was made, many people took out the family rules of the ancestors, refuting them well, saying "the reputation is not right or wrong", and "the ancestor system cannot be violated", and finally even "the way of not changing to the father for three years" was brought out. They were so excited that they wanted Chu Shaoling to kneel down to the Taimiao to apologize. Chu Shaoling placed the Ru kiln tea cup in his hand on the desk, and everyone was silent for a moment.

"It's here to me." Chu Shaoling was not very patient with these sour scholars, especially Liu Jiabo, who had been advised every day since he brought him up. He hated this person, but he never received any bribes. Even Chu Shaoling couldn't treat him perfunctorily, "I have ordered people to seal the backyard of Bitaoyuan, and the front door only connects to the previous dynasty, which is no longer considered a harem."

Liu Jiabo still refused to give in: "If you don't talk about the harem, the Duke of Wei is not a royal family, so why do you live in a palace in the inner city?"

Chu Shaoling smiled faintly: "Duke of Wei has protected his host many times, and the contributions in the Battle of Western Barbarians were even more unavailable. So what if you were given a palace?"

Liu Jiabo said seriously: "The war ministers of the Western Yi were unable to go in person. They also heard about the deeds of Duke Wei in the imperial city that day. I admired him very much, but I still had a word... The emperor, it has been a year since the war between the Western Yi, and the emperor has always given many gifts to the Wei Mansion. All the court officials saw it. The emperor had been awarded it for almost a year, which is probably enough to be worthy of Duke Wei."

Chu Shaoling immediately put down his face and said lightly: "Is Liu Aiqing accusing me of giving me too much reward?"

Liu Jiabo paused and nodded and said, "Everything is too much or too little. I hope the emperor will think twice."

Chu Shaoling sneered: "Has Liu Aiqing ever been to the battlefield? Do you know how much contribution the Shangwei Ji made in the battle of the Western Yi? Do you know how many injuries he had on his body after returning from the Western Yi?! I am just rewarding the soldiers with meritorious deeds, which is also wrong? You live peacefully in the imperial city, enjoying the stable country that the generals fought hard to survive, but can't stand their rewards after the war, what!"

Chu Shaoling was angry, and the ministers quickly bowed, but no one mentioned the matter of giving Bitaoyuan to the Guards. Chu Shaoling looked at Liu Jiabo coldly. Although Liu Jiabo also knelt down, he was not at all afraid. He straightened his body and said loudly: "When talking about the battle between the Western Barbarians, I remembered something again. I heard that the emperor's Western Army had a fierce battle between Retong and Fenghe cities. On that day, the Duke of Wei was surrounded, and the emperor had promised the envoy of the Western Barbarians..."

"Liu Jiabo!" Li Jing, who was also the censor, scolded, "Don't speak nonsense!"

Liu Jiabo was actually already timid, but at this moment he stretched his head and shook his head, so he had to continue: "The fifteen cities from Karakash to Xianoutuo were cedeed to exchange for the life of Duke Wei. The emperor could spare no effort for Duke Wei that day..."

"Random!" Chu Shaoling sternly cut off Liu Jiabo's words. The contract on that day has always been something that Chu Shaoling was unwilling to mention. It was not only his shame. Whenever he mentioned it, Chu Shaoling always remembered his fear when the Guards were besieged that day, and also the nightmare of the previous World's Guards' death in blood.

Now that Liu Jiabo has touched Chu Shaoling's rebellious scales, Chu Shaoling no longer has the good cultivation in front of others, and said angrily: "I didn't have a seal on that day! Now it's not only Karakash, but also Fenghecheng I have also won. Isn't it enough? Isn't it enough?!"

Liu Jiabo had a cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth and continued, "But the emperor had this idea that day. In order to prevent Duke Wei from dying several times, I thought Duke Wei should apologize for his own crime."

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes. Fortunately, he knew that there would be a fuss today, so he sent the Guji to the army early and asked Guji to apologize? Haha.

"Taizu has an order, and the censor will not be punished for admonition. Liu Jiabo, if not, I can kill your nine clans based on your words just now." Chu Shaoling looked at Liu Jiabo coldly, "I respect my ancestors, spare you, let me take care of you, and let you go, and scatter the court!"

Recently, Chu Shaoling's liver was always hot because of the Empress Dowager, but Liu Jiabo insisted on hitting him at this time, and he could not really kill him. Chu Shaoling tried hard to suppress his anger and summoned the Minister of Personnel to explain: "Let me find an excuse to release Liu Jiabo, don't force me to break the rules of my ancestors."

The Minister of Personnel thought about it and nodded: "Okay, although Liu Jiabo is a righteous person, he is disrespectful to the power of heaven. He is absurd in the court and is indeed not suitable for staying in the imperial city. I will think of a solution."

In fact, after the court dispersal, the Minister of Personnel discussed this matter with Mr. Zi. They didn't really think that the loss of the court officials would harm the face of the court officials, but they were afraid that one day Liu Jiabo would completely anger Chu Shaoling. It would be easy for Chu Shaoling to kill him, but the reputation of executing the censor on his back was not good. For Chu Shaoling's sake, it would be a disaster to keep Liu Jiabo after all, and it would be better to get rid of it early.

Although there was anger in court because of this matter, no one dared to mention it again. The Censorate only said that it would be put on hold for the time being. This shelf was directly in the year, and the Wei Ji had already moved into Bitaoyuan.

It was very lively in the year. Chu Shaoling left the Guard in the palace as in previous years, and coaxed him: "There are many people in your house next year. What do you say if your family asks about your marriage?"

Wei Ji thought about it and it was indeed a matter of things. In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, many people came to the palace this year. Wei Ji was also worried that fishing eyes would get mixed in and that people who should not have come in. He was not at ease when he left Chu Shaoling. Wei Ji thought about it and nodded and said, "Forget it, I'll just go back and take a look."

"That's right." Chu Shaoling rubbed the head of the guard halberd, "I have asked someone to send the things I should send to your mansion. I also invited the Empress Dowager's imperial edict to grant your old lady a first-class imperial edict to you. Is this worthy of the Yue family?"

Wei Ji felt embarrassed and whispered: "The Emperor is joking again."

Chu Shaoling said with a funny look: "Why are you joking? I will give you a red envelope on the morning of the first day of the lunar month, and nothing will be missing."

Wei Ji had no choice but to thank him for being amused and crying.

In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, this time the grand ceremony of the New Year was held in the palace. Various banquets have not stopped since the 23rd Little New Year. When the Empress Dowager was better, he would sit at the banquet and say a few words to his relatives. When he was in a bad state, Chu Shaoling asked someone to go to Ci'an Hall to accompany the Empress Dowager. Chu Shaoling knew that the Empress Dowager liked children, so he specially arranged for the children of the royal family to ask for New Year's money. The Empress Dowager was really happy. He gave a bag of gold and naked children one by one, and specially sent someone to Chu Shaoling a letter of gold. When Chu Shaoling got the reward in the previous dynasty, he hurried to Ci'an Hall to thank him, which made the Empress Dowager happy for a long time.

The Empress Dowager was pretty good all year round. Chu Shaoling's heart had just become wider. On the fifteenth, the Empress Dowager fell ill again and could not get out of bed this time.

After hearing the news, Chu Shaoling called several imperial doctors who were taking the Queen Mother's pulse over, and asked the imperial doctors several times and told him that if he could survive the spring, he would be in peace in the summer.

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes, and it was only a few months since he was still there.

Chu Shaoling personally served the Empress Dowager's medicine in the Ci'an Hall. Chu Shaoling slowly talked about the festive events in the harem after the New Year. The Empress Dowager was much thinner than before. He leaned on the soft couch and listened, nodded and smiled, "Okay, if the old princes are willing to live in the imperial city for a few more days, you will be welcomed by a good person. Don't neglect it."

Chu Shaoling quickly agreed and said, "It's better to keep uncles and uncles until March, when the spring flowers are blooming, and you can accompany the emperor and grandmother to enjoy the flowers."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "March? Okay, the Ai family knows in their hearts that the disease cannot be cured, and the Ai family is afraid that they will not last until then."

Chu Shaoling felt ache in his heart, but his face was still gentle: "The emperor's grandmother is telling a joke again. The imperial doctor said that the emperor's grandmother is much better than before, but she has been less energetic recently. If the emperor's grandmother can eat more, she will be afraid that it will not be enough for a month."

The Empress Dowager laughed: "Don't coax the Ai family, the Ai family's body is clear. The Ai family's body has been gone before your father left. Fortunately, I saw you ascended the throne later, and these families have lived a good life. The Ai family has become better. After living these more days, I will make a profit."

Chu Shaoling closed his eyes and whispered: "The emperor's grandmother should take care of herself. It's less than a year since the grandson ascended the throne, and there are still many people who need to learn from the emperor's grandmother..."

"You can teach you, the Ai family has taught you a long time ago, and the Ai family has also heard about the affairs of the government. You have done a good job." The Empress Dowager touched Chu Shaoling's face lovingly and said with a smile, "The Ai family has not had a good son, so God has given a good grandson to the Ai family... The Ai family is content, Ling'er, what the Ai family regrets the most is that they didn't make a marriage for you while they are in a good position..."

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly turned red and she whispered: "When Ai's family leaves, who will give such a big harem? Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning... The Ai's family is not at ease."

Chu Shaoling felt sad and smiled deliberately, "So the emperor's grandmother can't ignore her grandson, grandson..." Chu Shaoling's throat tightened and finally couldn't say anything.

Chu Shaoling turned his face and forced tears in his eyes. Seeing that he laughed like this, the Empress Dowager held Chu Shaoling in her arms and whispered: "Are you all the emperor? How can you still look like a child? Isn't it a joke if you see it?"

Chu Shaoling shook his head: "The grandson has lost his etiquette."

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears and whispered: "There is nothing sad. When your grandfather left, the Ai family wanted to follow him, but he was not worried about your father. You are different from your father, but you have other things that make the Ai family uneasy. Ling'er... The Ai family knows that you spoil him, but no matter what, he is also a man."

Chu Shaoling was silent for a moment and said, "Grandson deserves to die."

The Empress Dowager laughed and rubbed her forehead and said, "I thought you would continue to coax Ai's family..."

Chu Shaoling did think that he would hide it from the Empress Dowager in the end, but in this situation, seeing the emperor's grandmother Chu Shaoling who loved him for so many years suddenly couldn't tell a lie, Chu Shaoling stood up and took a step back and knelt down: "I owe him a lot, I... can't let him go."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Emperor, is this what you should say?"

This was the first time since the Empress Dowager ascended the throne that the Empress Dowager called him like that. Chu Shaoling felt extremely sour in his heart, his eyes suddenly became wet, and he said hoarsely: "Grandson deserves to die."

"It's the New Year, don't die and seek bad luck." The Empress Dowager raised her hand and pulled Chu Shaoling up, wiped the tears from the corners of Chu Shaoling's eyes with one hand, and said softly, "The Ai family understands... I haven't said it because I know you like him. It's not easy for you to live. It's actually a happy thing to have a close and kind person to accompany the Ai family. Your father and your mother have lived a cold and cold life all their lives. The Ai family is reluctant to let you do this."

Chu Shaoling felt even more uncomfortable when he heard this. The Empress Dowager slowly said, "The Ai family has ordered people to visit you in the dark. He is so loyal to you. The Ai family is relieved. You are willing to spoil him, and the Ai family is not willing to say anything to annoy you. There is only one thing, Ling'er, there must be someone in your harem."

Chu Shaoling lowered his head and said silently. The Empress Dowager held Chu Shaoling's hand and whispered: "Do you want children? Ling'er, promised the Ai family that he would take Ling Yi into the palace after filial piety. If you don't want to establish a queen, you can take him as a concubine first, okay?"

When the Empress Dowager saw Chu Shaoling still, she said anxiously: "Are you going to make the Ai family feel uneasy?"

"The grandson dares not." Chu Shaoling lowered his head, "The grandson agreed and when he was filial, he would take Ling as his concubine."

The Empress Dowager looked at Chu Shaoling calmly, still feeling uneasy. Chu Shaoling closed his eyes and said, "The ancestors and ancestors are above, and the grandson will not break his promise."

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the soft pillow and nodded, "The Ai family knew... you came from the Ai family."

"The emperor's grandmother cares about her grandson everything. How dare she disobey the emperor's grandmother?" Chu Shaoling helped the empress dowager raise the blanket and comfort her softly, "Grandmother, please relax. This disease will be cured after a while."

The thing that the Empress Dowager had been worried about had endured, and she felt extremely relaxed for a moment. She smiled and didn't say anything. The Empress Dowager was already tired after saying something for half a day. She said a few words to Chu Shaoling and fell asleep. Someone outside came to urge Chu Shaoling to go to the front. Chu Shaoling walked out a few steps and then turned back. She knelt down and kowtowed three times before leaving.

Chu Shaoling would not break his promise, and he would do it if he agreed to accept Ling as his concubine. But Ling is not Ling Yi, but Ling Yun who had already been there last autumn.
