Although I knew that my father wanted to become a Zen monk, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Throughout history, there were not many emperors who gave up their thrones on their own initiative. Most of them were forced to give up their thrones.
The emperor is not too old, but his health is not as good as before.
Seeing the prince's hesitation, the emperor said: "Jin'er, I have been working hard and diligently in government affairs for so many years, and I have not dared to slack off for a day, so that the Dajing Dynasty can be prosperous and stable, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But now I have low energy and often feel I don’t have enough energy, I don’t want all these years of hard work to be ruined in the last few years.”
"It's better to hand it over to you earlier, so as to prevent your position from being feared by others."
Shao Simin's matter also made the emperor pay attention to King An.
It seems that this son is also ready to make a move.
The emperor added: "After Ji succeeds to the throne, if your brothers have a disobedient heart, there is no need to be soft."
The prince looked at the emperor in surprise: "Father?"
After all, the prince knew that his father wanted to save the lives of his brothers.
The emperor coughed and said: "If you can save your life, of course it is the best."
The prince nodded and said: "Father, don't worry, as long as the subject's bottom line is not exceeded, the subject will not kill them all."
The emperor was silent for a while.
Said: "You figure it out."
The father and son chatted about political affairs for a while. The prince himself had been assisting the emperor in handling political affairs for some time. On weekdays, the emperor had many teachings.
At this time, the emperor taught him how to get along with his ministers, which ministers had what temperament, and what their pain points were.
When the emperor was tired for the first time, the prince resigned and returned to the East Palace.
On the second day, the emperor announced Princess Xin and Pingyi to Chengqian Hall.
"Meet the Emperor."
"Meet my father."
The emperor was very happy to see Princess Pingyi: "Here he comes."
Princess Pingyi approached the emperor and said, "Father, are you feeling better?"
The emperor smiled and said: "Father, everything is fine."
"Ping Yi is a grown up girl. I called you and your mother and concubine here today because I want to make decisions about your life."
Pingyi Xingxi is the eldest daughter of the emperor. The emperor only has two daughters in total, and there is a seventh princess who is only five years old.
The daughter will not be involved in the fight for the crown prince, and since there are not many daughters, Pingyi has been favored since he was a child.
After hearing the emperor's words, Ping Yi's face flushed with embarrassment, and she said coquettishly: "If my daughter doesn't get married, she still has to accompany her father and mother in the palace!"
The emperor smiled and looked at Concubine Xin: "Is there anyone you like?"
However, Concubine Xin knew that the emperor had taken the initiative to choose the opportunity and could not miss it. She stepped forward and replied, "I see that the prince of the Yongchang Hou Mansion is very good. He has outstanding character and is about the same age as Yi'er."
The eldest son of the Yongchang Hou Mansion is the eldest sister Shu Yuwan and the eldest son of Shu Yuting.
The emperor pondered for a moment, looked at Princess Pingyi, and asked, "Where is Pingyi watching?"
Ping Yi said sheepishly: "My son, please listen to your father, the emperor, mother and concubine."
The emperor saw it and said: "In that case, I summon Marquis Yongchang to ask what he means."
The mother and daughter returned to Concubine Xin's palace, and Princess Pingyi asked: "Concubine, I have never seen the eldest son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, are you serious?"
Concubine Xin said: "Can my concubine still harm you? Your grandmother has seen this child and said that he is a talented person, handsome, humble and polite."
Princess Pingyi felt a little satisfied after hearing that she looked dignified.
Concubine Xin continued: "Besides, you see, your father has already asked the prince to participate in the government. Your brother, the prince, will succeed him in the future. Your brother, the prince, dotes on the Shu family. The eldest son of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is Shu." The eldest sister’s son.”
Princess Pingyi smiled and said: "Then it's no wonder that she is so handsome. When I look at the emperor's sister-in-law, she is very beautiful."
Xinbi smiled.
If Pingyi can find a good home, she has nothing to worry about.
The current Marquis of Yongchang is none other than Shu Yuting’s husband, Zheng Changping.
He knew that his abilities were mediocre, and he had behaved himself since he accepted the title. When the emperor summoned him alone, Zheng Changping didn't know what was going on, and he was really a little nervous.
The emperor's face was soft and he asked: "I heard that your eldest son has outstanding character and is a perfect match for Princess Pingyi. What do you think of it, Ai Qing?"
Hearing this, Zheng Changping was a little confused for a moment. After he realized what he said, he hurriedly said: "It's really a dog's luck to get Princess Pingyi."
The emperor listened and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay."
In the East Palace, after Shu Yuwan heard about this incident, she smiled at the prince and said, "Father, do you want to make arrangements for the princes and princesses before abdicating?"
As soon as the prince returned to the East Palace yesterday, he told Shu Yuwan about the matter.
Shu Yuwan was really excited.
If the prince does not ascend the throne, she will have to worry about whether something will happen in the future. As the crown prince's natal family, if the prince cannot ascend the throne, the Shu family will only end up worse than in the previous life!
Now that the prince has ascended the throne, she feels at ease!
At this moment, everyone felt much more relaxed.
The prince said with a smile: "It's best if my father is done worrying about it."
"I wonder how my sister would react when she heard the news?"
...
When Shu Yuting heard what Zheng Changping said when he returned home, she was a little surprised for a moment, and then she complained about Zheng Changping: "Husband, how can you accept this? If you marry the princess, Brother Yan will be in the court in the future." , then there will be no great future, even at home, we must bow to the princess!"
"Now that my sister has become the princess, Brother Yan's future will be limitless!"
Zheng Changping said unhurriedly: "Brother Yan's talent and learning are not top-notch. He has a peaceful temperament. In the future, he will inherit the title, marry a princess, and live a plain and prosperous life. It's quite good. Whatever he does, he will fight for power in the court."
Shu Yuting said angrily: "You think everyone is just like you."
"There's nothing wrong with being like me."
Shu Yuting didn't want to argue with Zheng Changping anymore, and was going to go to the East Palace to find Shu Yuwan. She must persuade the emperor to take back his order before the imperial edict was issued!
