In the middle of the night, a cold crescent moon hangs high in the dark night sky, the stars are twinkling, and the cool night breeze blows, bringing a bit of coolness to the hot summer night.

It was a rare night with a sweet dream, but there were a few places where the lights were bright.

One of them is inside the Mingde Palace.

looked at the meditation master who was sitting on the right hand side of Emperor Huiwen, and then looked at Sima Rui and the other four brothers sitting on both sides of the lower head, as well as Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun, Qingyun didn't understand why his father called several of them to the Mingde Hall after the dinner? The dinner party was lively and smooth, and nothing happened, could it be because of the events at the lunchtime? can see that everyone's expressions are calm, and it doesn't seem to be like it.

Glancing at Master Jingtai, Emperor Huiwen's ink-like eyes swept over everyone: "I summoned you tonight because I have something to announce." Seeing that everyone looked up at him, he continued: "I have decided to announce the succession of Jiu'er to the court tomorrow morning, and the enthronement ceremony will be set on the eighteenth day half a month later. ”

When the words fell, the faces of everyone who seemed to have been mentally prepared were as usual, and there was even a hint of relief and respect between everyone's eyebrows.

And Qingyun's expression was shocked, this incident was too unexpected for her: "My father is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can he suddenly want to Zen?" ”

"In the past six months, I have always felt a little weak when dealing with political affairs, and it seems that I can't accept my old age." Emperor Huiwen sighed and said: "This world belongs to you young people after all, and it is time for me to hand over the burden of guarding the country and society to you, so that I can live in peace and take Concubine Yu around to take a look, Jiu'er will not even refuse to satisfy my little wish, right?" ”

Qingyun shook his head and nodded: "My father is willing to take off his heavy responsibilities and take care of his life, and his sons naturally agree, but his sons ...... The son is a daughter, and she knows that she is shallow and has limited ability, so she really has the favor and hope of her father, and she asks her father to think twice. ”

She is just a righteous daughter kindly taken in by her father, not a real royal blood, how could her father think of passing on the throne to her?

"The ninth princess doesn't need to be presumptuous."

Understanding Qingyun's concerns, Han Jingwen smiled and said: "Not to mention that the ninth princess is the emperor's favorite princess, just because of so many years, the ninth princess has done her best for the stability and prosperity of the society and the peace and prosperity of the people, especially this year to cure the Nanyang epidemic, resolve the crisis in the north, and punish the rebels and thieves to quell the civil strife...... All show the wisdom and wisdom of the nine princesses and extraordinary strategic courage, has already won the respect and support of the subjects of the whole country, the nine princesses are the emperor, I believe that the subjects are happy and convinced, please the nine princesses do not shirk. ”

"What Mrs. Han said is extremely true, the ninth princess Bingxue is smart and benevolent, if the ninth princess succeeds to the throne, it will be the luck of my Jin Kingdom and the blessing of the people!" Li Zhengxun nodded in agreement.

Sima Yue was also excited and convinced: "Princess Wuyun of the Zhou Kingdom is less than one-tenth of Jiu'er's intelligence and ability, even she can ascend the throne and become the emperor, Jiu'er is naturally fully qualified to be the king of any country!" Anyway, I strongly approve of Jiu'er's succession, what about you, three elder brothers? ”

After speaking, he looked at Sima Rui, Sima Qi and Sima Xian, and the three of them smiled and nodded.

"Everyone agrees with Jiu'er's accession to the throne, so Jiu'er will not shirk anymore." Seeing his sons so sensible, Emperor Huiwen felt very pleased: "Or is Jiu'er unwilling to take the opportunity to be lazy?" ”

Qingyun shook his head again and again: "Erchen doesn't mean this, Erchen just thinks that his father should be in one of the elder brothers, after all, several elder brothers are orthodox in the royal family, and their ability and intelligence are above Erchen, and the elder brothers will take the throne in a proper way, so as to avoid causing turmoil in the government and the opposition and the people's uneasiness, the father should be the best able to understand the inner danger of the change of the throne, and the son-in-law does not want to see the situation that has just stabilized to make any waves, please forgive the son-in-law for his painstaking efforts." ”

Whether it was King Wen's rebellion at the beginning, or Gong Yuanhao's rebellion not long ago, it had caused serious consequences to the Jin Kingdom, not to mention that she was not of royal blood, once she ascended the throne, she could imagine what kind of uproar would be set off, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

Emperor Huiwen didn't say anything, Sima Yue had already said urgently: "Jiu'er knows the way, starling, I just want to be a general who gallops on the battlefield, I don't have the ability and patience to deal with the ministers every day, and deal with so many twists and turns, forget it." ”

"Jiu'er, don't look at me." Seeing Qingyun looking at him, Sima Xian waved his hand: "Sixth brother, I am more than gentle and decisive, and I can barely make do with being an auxiliary minister, and I promised Wanting to accompany her to walk all over my country's mountains and rivers, and browse places of interest and historic sites in various places, if I sit in that position, not only can I not make my country stronger and prosperous, but I also have no time to accompany Wanting, Jiu'er can't bear to see the sixth brother, I lose my trust to your sixth sister-in-law?" ”

Sima Qi shook the precious folding fan lightly, and said slowly: "I'm only interested in doing business, Jiu'er don't count on me as the fifth brother." ”

"Jiu'er is the emperor, the best!" Sima Rui cherished words like gold as usual, but he resolutely expressed his attitude.

Seeing that his beloved daughter wanted to speak and stopped, Emperor Huiwen took her hand and said seriously: "Jiu'er doesn't know, for so many years, I have known that Lin Bingquan and his party harbor evil intentions, but I have not been able to clear them, and I am deeply ashamed of the ancestors of the Sima family;

On the contrary, Jiu'er cut off his hands and feet again and again without moving, weakening his power, which made me sigh to myself;

Now, except for Chu Yunyi and Princess Wuyun, the emperors of other countries are very jealous of Jiu'er after hearing about Jiu'er's great achievements, and they maintain peace on the surface, but once the new emperor succeeds to the throne, and Jiu'er is not in charge of the court, those people will definitely wait for the opportunity to make waves, and when the time comes, it will definitely harm the society and the people;

For the sake of the peace of the country and the people, in order to complete the responsibility of the inheritance of the emperors of the Sima family, I made this decision after careful consideration, hoping that Jiu'er can shoulder this burden of serving the country and the people, and give the innocent people a peaceful and peaceful life, can Jiu'er agree to me? ”

Qingyun's mood became a little heavy when he heard this.

My father was right, all the people in the world are innocent, and a holy ruler should do whatever it takes to protect his people.

And she loves Chen Yu deeply, originally planned to persuade her father to marry the two, she put aside everything and Chen Yu to travel the world hand in hand, enjoy the remaining time, at that time, the country is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, she and Chen Yu can go to Huangquan without worry, and the next life needs a front.

Presumably, her father guessed that she would live and die with Chen Yu, so he handed over such a heavy burden to her, so that she could not be easily left alone.

But her father didn't know that she didn't have much time......
