Chapter 20

The emperor's illness has not improved. No matter how unwilling he is, he has to start relying on Chu Shaoling in politics.

The emperor was naturally worried about handing over all the power to Chu Shaoling. In order to restrain Emperor Chu Shaoling, he called the four sensible princes to the bed and encouraged them carefully. Finally, he smiled and said, "My illness is unwilling to be cured. There is no way. It just gives you brothers a chance to try. From now on, you four will go to the cabinet to listen to politics every day, listen more, and see how those old ministers deal with political affairs. You have to discuss matters that cannot be decided. Do you understand?"

Several brothers said yes. The emperor looked at Chu Shaoling wearing princely clothes and smiled: "Ling'er takes care of your younger brothers more. You have been in the cabinet for the longest time. If they don't understand, please give me more attention."

Chu Shaoling smiled and nodded: "That's natural. Don't worry, my father is still looking forward to his father's recovery as soon as possible."

The emperor nodded, talked to the few people for a while, but he couldn't keep up with his spirit. He waved his hand and made people kneel down.

The emperor was afraid that Chu Shaoling would take the opportunity to take over the power, so Chu Shaoling simply ignored these matters. From this day on, he entered the cabinet every day and listened and said nothing.

Chu Shaoyang is full of wits, and he will not speak even if Chu Shaoling doesn't say anything. Chu Shaoruan has just been taught a lesson. Now he dares to stand up in everything and doesn't speak much on weekdays. Chu Shaomo thought it was finally his turn to do it. He is more active than anyone else when he goes to discuss politics every day. Chu Shaoling coldly sees Chu Shaomo jumping up and down. Sure enough, in a few days, Chu Shaomo has had a mess. He dares to interfere in the matter of Salt Science. He pretends to know if he doesn't know how to understand. He wants to eat a fat man in one bite and win over his power. Unfortunately, the salt Science is the emperor's forbidden area. Before Chu Shaomo really takes action, he was passed on to Chengqian Palace and scolded him, throwing him back to the Huixin Academy and continued to listen to the lectures of the Grand Tutors. After this incident, the emperor became even more angry.

After kicking Chu Shaomo away, Chu Shaoling began to really start political affairs. Now Zi Junhou is the Minister of Personnel, and many things are much more convenient. After the spring, the guard errands of several celebrations were sent to Chu Shaoling to command the guard war. Many ministers saw that Chu Shaoling was focusing on promoting the guard war, and they knew it. Chu Shaoruan didn't think anything was wrong. She just thought that this was the personal soldier Chu Shaoling was going to promote. Only Chu Shaoyang looked at the name of the guard in a vague way. He vaguely remembered that the guard that day was called Wei Ji.

Chu Shaoyang ordered people to check the hometown of Wei Zhan. It was easy to know the relationship between Wei Zhan and Wei Ji. Chu Shaoyang looked at the things presented by the people below and thoughtfully.

After the morning court, Chu Shaoling went to Ci'an Hall to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. The more he was satisfied with the empress dowager, the more he looked at the grandson, the more he was more satisfied. He asked about Chu Shaoling's food recently, and then he gave some instructions. As he was talking, Princess Fuyi and Guiren Ning came to pay tribute to him. Although the empress dowager was not disgusted with the mother and daughter, she said lightly: "Tell them that I am short of energy today and will disappear. Let Fuyi be careful of the climate and stop being sick. See them again in Ai's family."

Chu Shaoling laughed and said, "I haven't seen the fourth sister for several days. Let's meet the emperor and grandmother. It's more people and lively."

The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows and smiled: "Forget it, I know you always think about your fourth sister, and you're going to pass on it."

Princess Fuyi and Guiren Ning came in to pay their respects. The Empress Dowager smiled and gave her a seat and said, "How is Fuyi going to be here in the near future?"

Princess Fuyi is not like Chu Shaoling who can see the queen mother every day. The last time she greeted her in person was half a month ago. Even if there was a headache and a fever, the empress dowager would not know. Fuyi was not favored since she was a child and didn't care. She smiled and said, "It's great to go back to the emperor's grandmother."

Chu Shaoling tasted a piece of snack and smiled and said, "I heard that the fourth sister has become more and more popular recently. When will she embroider a purse for me? The last time the one didn't match the clothes."

"Brother likes me and embroider when I go back." Fu Yi smiled with a pursed lips, "Come back and send it to my brother."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "If the embroidery is really good, I will give it to the emperor's grandmother. Maybe I will bother the fourth sister to embroider me again when I look back."

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile: "You child, you have to give everything to the Ai family first, but what's the use of the things you brought to the Ai family? Can the Ai family wear it?!"

Chu Shaoling seemed to have just reacted and smiled and said, "Yes, the fourth sister will embroider an incense bag for the emperor's grandmother, asking for the national and natural beauty."

Only then did Concubine Ning realize that Chu Shaoling was turning around and helping Fuyi to show her filial piety in front of the Empress Dowager. She was very grateful and smiled and said, "The princess also embroidered a beautiful peony yesterday. She just didn't know what the Empress Dowager lacked and didn't make anything. Now it seems like it's just right."

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded: "It's hard for you to be kind. Don't always let Fu Yi stay in her palace and thread the needle. Fei's energy will hurt his eyes. If you have nothing to do, it's comfortable to see the Ai family."

Concubine Ning stood up and agreed, and quietly nodded gratefully to Chu Shaoling.

At the same time, Wei Ji was playing Go with Zhang Lifeng. Wei Ji didn't know why he wanted to learn these things, but General Zhang wanted to teach, so he naturally had to learn seriously. He held the black man Zhang Lifeng and the black man on the chessboard was killed, and the black man on the chessboard was defeated step by step.

Zhang Lifeng was merciless and didn't care that Wei Ji was just learning it. After a few sets, Zhang Lifeng slowly appeared. Wei Ji would make progress in each set, and with the same set, Wei Ji would never get into the second time.

Zhang Lifeng was secretly surprised and said nothing on the surface. After the two of them finished ten rounds, they put Zhang Lifeng away. When they came back, they wanted to study it carefully. When they were rumored that the fourth prince Chu Shaoyang had arrived.

Chu Shaoling is not here, Chu Shaoyang should have left immediately, because Wei Ji didn't want to see Chu Shaoyang in the last study, so he found a book to read. Chu Shaoling read a storybook yesterday and said it was good. Wei Ji also wanted to see what was said in it...

Seeing Chu Shaoyang coming, Wang Muhan hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "Fourth Prince, how are you? The prince went to Ci'an Hall to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager and hadn't come back yet. I'll make a cup of tea for you first, and you'll wait?"

Chu Shaoyang looked inside and did not see Wei Ji. He thought he had followed Chu Shaoling out. He thought of another thing in his heart and said, "Nothing is wrong. We have almost discussed a little bit of things in the court. Now we are going to open it. I'm anxious to wait for the eldest brother's seal to be used. Where is the eldest brother's seal?"

Wang Muhan had a bitter face: "The Fourth Prince is asking the old slave, where can the old slave of the prince's big seal be touched?"

Chu Shaoyang chuckled: "That's delaying, the father blames the elder brother for whom? The elder brother's seal must not be carried with him. It must be in this palace. Come and ask me!"

The list of officials who went to the south to inspect this year has not been decided yet. Chu Shaoling and Zi Junhou were in control, and Chu Shaoyang could not get in at all. This was a fat man. Chu Shaoyang also wanted to send some of his own people, just in time to settle the matter when Chu Shaoling was away. Chu Shaoling has always loved him, and he thought that he would not be able to do anything if he knew.

Wang Muhan didn't know what happened before. He always regarded Chu Shaoyang different from other princes. He was serving half of his master. After hearing this, he believed it and said anxiously: "You can't delay the prince's affairs, but the prince's big seal slave really doesn't know... By the way, Lord Wei is in the palace, just ask him to know!"

Wei Ji had been listening to the two of them in the study for the past half day. He knew that he could not avoid it, so he had to get up and come out to pay his respects. Chu Shaoyang did not make things difficult for him this time, but just smiled and said, "You are just right, go and get your brother's seal, which is urgent."

The guards that Chu Shaoyang said were not very well understood. He only knew that Chu Shaoling said that the last witchcraft incident was Chu Shaoling sold by Chu Shaoyang. He was originally loyal to Chu Shaoling, let alone the person who had harmed Chu Shaoling. When the guards heard this, he shook his head: "The prince is not here, you can't touch the prince's seal."

Chu Shaoyang talked for a long time but couldn't do it, and sneered: "This matter cannot be started today. If your father knows, he will definitely be angry. Do you want to kill your elder brother? Find out the big seal for me!"

Wei Ji still said the same thing: "The prince is not here, and the seal cannot be moved."

Chu Shaoyang was furious and scolded: "You have a good face when you say a few words to you! You are just a watchdog. How dare you not listen to me?!"

Guard's halberd: "Even if I am a watchdog, I am still a watchdog for the prince. If the prince is not here, the seal cannot be moved."

Wei Ji looked calm without any more than salt. Chu Shaoyang couldn't persuade him, and he burst out with blue veins. He was afraid that Chu Shaoling would come back and see him, so he had to leave with hatred. Wei Ji followed Wang Muhan to see the fourth prince. Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoyang's back and turned back to the study. He still remembered the book he said just now.
