Chapter 251: Who the Emperor Asked to Do It
Yang Xianrong and Sima Chi sat opposite each other, and after glancing at each other, they both smiled tacitly. Also, for a long time, how have they ever been in such a mood today? Yang Xianrong is the first emperor and queen, carrying the infamy of being with others, and living in the shadow of Sima Yue tremblingly. Sima Chi is the emperor of the current dynasty, has no power and no power, looks up to the snort of the king of the East Sea, is extravagant, and lives a life where there is today and I don't know if there will be tomorrow.
Today, the two are walking side by side, growing stronger and stronger, at least they can control their own destiny. This is a feeling that Yang Xianrong has never had since he got married, and it is also a scene that Sima Chi can only remember and look forward to when he is forced to become the emperor. This laugh can't be stopped, driving away the sadness of the past and facing more unknown futures.
After laughing enough, Yang Xianrong let people serve tea, personally poured it for Sima Chi, and said to him sincerely: "If it weren't for your help, I don't know how embarrassed I would be today." She picked up the teacup and touched it with Sima Chi: "I don't drink, but this grateful heart is sincere." She quickly wiped away her tears with her hands, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "On a big day, I am crying with joy, and please don't be surprised." ”
"What's so strange about that? I want to cry too, I want to cry a lot, today is indeed a day of great joy, but how much have we lost to get a day like today? Sometimes I ask myself if it's worth it, but today we can sit here and drink tea and talk without scruples, and it's all worth it. Sima Chi also shed tears as he spoke, but he didn't wipe them away, letting the tears flow more and more, and his face was full of paste.
The two laughed and cried, like two madmen, until Sima Chi picked up a cup of tea and spilled it on the ground, shouting, "A cup to Lord Feng." ”
Yang Xianrong also sprinkled tea on the ground, everything today, all depends on Feng Hang's persistence, even if he is terminally ill, he is still planning for Yang Xianrong, he has long known that only a few letters of collaboration with the enemy are not enough to hold the king of the East China Sea, so he exhausted his last strength to help them get out of the predicament.
Finally, the mood of the two slowly calmed down. Sima Chi took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and placed it in front of Yang Xianrong. Yang Xianrong spread it out and saw that it was an edict of abdication, as Sima Chi promised back then, after overthrowing the queen of the East China Sea, he abdicated and returned the throne to Sima Tan.
Yang Xianrong smiled and asked, "Are you willing to do it?" "If he is still the emperor who has no power and no power, he will not be nostalgic if he is a bloody man, but now that Sima Chi has mastered the real power, he owns the whole world, just give up like this, he will not regret it? If it was just for that verbal promise, he wouldn't regret it later?
"What I wanted has never changed, it's just that the person I left with me is no longer there." Sima Chi sighed: "Do you know why I didn't let Lan'er enter the imperial tomb? So that I can be buried with her when I leave in the future, she has never been a queen, but just my wife. ”
"That person is gone, you don't need to go out, stay." Yang Xianrong pushed the piece of paper back to Sima Chi and said, "You are a good emperor, if there is anyone else who is likely to lead the Great Jin Dynasty out of the current predicament, that person is you." Qin Er is still young, and he has never experienced the affairs of the court, if he is allowed to ascend the throne, he will have to be crowned an auxiliary king, do you think you can abdicate from the emperor to become an auxiliary king, or can the Great Jin Dynasty still tolerate another king of the East China Sea? ”
"With you, how can you use any auxiliary kings." Sima Chi smiled and said, "With your intelligence, Qin Er will be a good emperor." ”
"You're going to be free, why do you have to trap me in this palace?" Yang Xianrong said: "I will tell him on Qin Er's side, he is a sensible child, and he actually admires you as an uncle and makes you the emperor, he is very relieved." ”
Sima Chi came to find Yang Xianrong with the determination to leave, but no one dared to take over the throne like a hot potato, he shook his head helplessly, if there was really no one to take over, would he have to do it? "I will immediately start the matter of Sima Qinfu's family tree, and when the time comes, I will make him the prince, and I will teach him to govern the government with my own hands, and when he is full-fledged, you will have no excuse for me."
Yang Xianrong nodded and agreed to Sima Chi's proposal.
On the second day, Yang Xianrong returned to Yangfu, the family got together again, everyone was in tears, Sima Tan didn't have to hide in Tibet, Yang Xiang and Su Chen didn't have to worry anymore, this time to meet, after many years, everyone was able to talk and laugh openly, this feeling was really long gone.
Yang Fu was a little angry about Yang Xianrong taking down the East Sea King quietly this time, because this time, he didn't help much, and he didn't even know that his sister was doing such a big thing, otherwise, he wouldn't stay out of it anyway.
"Since it's a family, it's really out of sight for my brother to say this." Yang Xianrong leaned on Su Chen's shoulder, looked lazy, and said: "Actually, Sima Yue took you back to Beijing with the intention of blackmailing me with you, if I come back often, won't it bring you greater danger?" Besides, the chance of this being successful is only 50%, and if it fails, I still hope to leave you a way out. Anyway, Ah Qi and Ah Di are too young to be without their parents, and Nian'er is still outside, once she finds her, I always hope that someone can take care of her. "Dogs
When Su Chen heard this, he patted Yang Xianrong's hand and comforted: "Fortunately, everything has passed, and we will do our best to find Nian'er in the future." ”
Yang Xianrong nodded. In fact, for the matter of finding Nian'er, Yang Xianrong has no hope, three years have passed, Nian'er is ten years old, and it is difficult to say whether she remembers what her mother looks like. Besides, there is a Sima Xuanhua by her side, it is said that she would have come back a long time ago, why has there been no news for so long? It's just a mother, I haven't seen the child's body for a day, and I still have a glimmer of hope and don't want to give up, who wants to believe that the child I held in the palm of my hand died like this?
Not to mention the sad things and the people who died, the family ate together and peacefully. During the banquet, Sima Qin, who was already an adult, toasted one by one with a wine glass, thanking the sheep family for taking care of them over the years, these people were his life-saving benefactors, he was grateful and didn't know what to do, so he toasted one by one with the appearance of an adult to express his gratitude, looking at such a polite and courteous Sima Tan, Yang Xianrong was very pleased, this child finally lived up to his sincerity.
After the meal, Yang Xianrong called Sima Qin alone, since he had grown up, there were some things, she was willing to talk to him in an adult way. The two sat in a quiet room, and Yang Xianrong asked first, "Do you still keep the edict that your uncle left for you?" ”
Sima Qin nodded, took out the paper edict from his bosom and handed it to Yang Xianrong, and said: "This mother has been entrusted with safekeeping, and the son will not dare to slack off at all, and he has always kept it closely." ”
"Very good." Yang Xianrong was very satisfied with Sima Tan's words when she always treated her words carefully, so she stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Yesterday, His Majesty came to my palace and gave me a piece of paper, which is an edict of abdication, and he wants to let the emperor be in your place." After Yang Xianrong finished speaking, he glanced at Sima Tan, only to see him frowning slightly, as if he was a little surprised, but more uneasy. Yang Xianrong calmed down and said, "I excused myself for you." ”
Sima Qin breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down at Yang Xianrong's feet, and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”
"Where did Xie come from? I thought you had a great heart. Yang Xianrong asked with a smile.
"It's true when I was young, I was a child of the Sima family, a close branch of the royal family, and a former prince, if I didn't have any thoughts about the throne, I lied to my mother, and when I returned to Luoyang from Qiantang, wasn't it because I wanted to fight?" Speaking of that year, Sima Qin was a little shy, at that time he was impulsive and ambitious, thinking about things very simply, thinking that he could change the situation and control everything, but after going through so much, he found that his strength was too thin, if he became the emperor at that time, it is difficult to say whether he still has this life now. "Now that my son has grown up, he knows what it means to be responsible and what is responsibility, and he also knows that he is far worse than the emperor's uncle, so he doesn't think about anything, if the emperor's uncle is willing to let me serve as an official in the court, my son will be very satisfied."
Sima Qin really grew up in a place he didn't see, not only did his body already look like an adult, but his ideas also matured. Yang Xianrong smiled and said, "Mother didn't misunderstand you. She handed the edict back to Sima Qin, and continued: "You can still take this, although your imperial uncle is a capable person, he is really not interested in the throne, but I have persuaded him to work for a few more years, at least until you are completely familiar with government affairs." ”
"Mother's meaning ......" Sima Chi was a little puzzled, and a little nervous and panicked.
"He will restore your clan status and make you the heir, he has no sons-in-law, the concubines are all young, and they can't see whether they are successful or not, and you are indeed the only one among the nephews who are the most promising, so, who else can you be?" Yang Xianrong said: "When the time comes, he will take you to the court and teach you hand in hand, so that you can grow up quickly, so that we old people can be relaxed and relaxed." ”
Sima Qin smiled, he scratched his head: "Mother is not old. ”
"What? Don't have confidence in yourself? It's not like the Sima Tan I know. Yang Xianrong touched Sima Tan's head: "They have all grown up." She thought for a while, and then said: "When you go back to the East Palace, and let your uncle be your teacher, Yan Sheng will continue to be your guard in your East Palace, and Aqi will not change anything as before, don't worry." ”
"Where's Zhou Yi?" During this time, Sima Tan and Zhou Yi were familiar with each other, and he felt that Zhou Yi and Xiao Hu wanted to be very stupid, but they were righteous and loyal. Xiao Hu's death has always made him feel guilty, and now he is unwilling to bear the Zhou Yi anymore.
"He has been transferred to the forbidden army, and being your uncle's personal guard is more majestic than following you." Yang Xianrong said with a smile.
Sima Qin also laughed.
