Chapter 478: A New Generation Replaces the Old
Han Fei had already made up his mind to give the throne to the crown prince Han Jin, and immediately took action to convene the cabinet ministers to the imperial study for discussion. He looked at all the ministers in the hall who had worked hard for the cause of the Ming Dynasty, especially the senior brother Yu Shiying, who had been promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, and recalled the journey along the way, full of emotion.
The cabinet minister didn't know what Han Fei summoned for, and when he saw the emperor Han Fei just looking at them and not speaking, he was even more suspicious, but it was not easy to ask, so he had to bow his head in a muffled voice.
"All of you Aiqing are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, for the glorious cause of the Ming Dynasty, conscientious, I see it in my eyes, the reason why the Ming Dynasty has today's prosperity is inseparable from the dedication of your Aiqing!" Han Fei stood up and said solemnly: "On behalf of the people of the Ming Dynasty and the ancestors of the royal family, I would like to express my gratitude to all Aiqing!" ”
"The saint is serious, Weichen can't afford it!" The ministers were shocked and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Weichen only did a little bit of the duty of a courtier, how dare he be so praised by the saint?" The reason why the Ming Dynasty has today's achievements is that my emperor is the son of the Holy Tomorrow, the king of the ages! ”
"Whether it is a Ming monarch or a Yongjun, my descendants have commented that I can't control it, the Ming court is a whole, I am the brain of the Ming Dynasty, and you Aiqing are the five senses and siblings of the Ming Dynasty, all of them are indispensable, and the Ming Dynasty is a common achievement of our monarchs and ministers! Our monarchs and ministers can also proudly comfort the predecessors, and the achievements of the Ming Dynasty today are unprecedented! ”
Han Fei personally picked up the cabinet ministers and said with a smile: "I summoned all Aiqing over today, I have something important to announce!" ”
"Commanded by God!" The ministers said in unison.
Han Fei said calmly: "After careful consideration, I have decided to give the Zen position to the crown prince!" ”
"Ah, the Holy Lords must not—" The ministers bowed to the ground and said hurriedly: "The Holy Spring and Autumn Festival is in its prime......"
Han Fei interrupted the ministers' words and said: "There is no need to say that the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous, I am already old, there is no need to say these empty words, for the stable and healthy development of the Ming Dynasty, it is the right choice for me to abdicate in advance, and the development momentum of the Ming Dynasty is changing with each passing day, and it also needs a young and powerful emperor at the helm, the prince has met the conditions to be a good emperor after all these years of experience!" ”
"Holy ......"
"You Aiqing don't need to persuade you, I have made up my mind!" Han Fei saw that there were still some tangled expressions on the faces of the ministers, and said with a smile: "I have known and worked with you Aiqing for many years, and I believe you also understand that I am not an emotional person, and my decision is well thought out and beneficial to the Ming Dynasty!" Ladies and gentlemen, I have worked hard for Daming all my life, and when I am old, you can't let me enjoy a few years of happiness? ”
When all the ministers heard this, smiles appeared on their faces, and they all bowed down and replied: "Wechen obeys the will of the Holy Lord!" ”
"Okay, the prince will be a good emperor, but after all, he has just ascended to the throne, and all kinds of affairs are not very sophisticated, I hope that you will be like waiting for me, assisting the prince, so that the great cause of the Ming Dynasty will be stronger from generation to generation!"
"Wechen obeys!"
"Everyone, Aiqing, go down and prepare for the Zen throne ceremony!" Han Fei looked around at the ministers and said, "Yu Aiqing stay a little bit!" ”
After everyone left, Yu Shiying, the head of the cabinet, stood up and said, "What does the Holy Lord command?" ”
Han Fei walked out from behind the imperial case and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yu, accompany me to the imperial garden to sit down!" ”
The two walked into the imperial garden, sat down in a pavilion, and the palace people brought refreshments.
Han Fei greeted Yu Shiying with tea, and said with emotion: "Looking back on the past, I have been in a hurry with Senior Brother Yu for decades, and this friendship is commendable!" ”
Speaking of this, Yu Shiying was also very emotional, he never dreamed that an ordinary student in Jinling City would become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, speaking of which, Han Fei's life is a life full of legends, and he can be called a genius through the ages, maybe this is the situation of the true son of heaven.
"Wechen has been blessed with the grace of the saint in his life, and now he is dying, but he is not able to repay the grace of the saint in this life, but I hope that in the next life, Wechen will lead the horse and whip for the saint again, and serve his life wholeheartedly!"
"Senior Brother Yu, our friendship, there is no need to say these words, if there is an afterlife, let's renew the relationship between the monarch and the minister!" Han Fei looked at Yu Shiying, and said: "Senior Brother Yu has repeatedly asked to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and I should have agreed, but at this time, Jin Er has just ascended to the throne, and I still need such an important minister as Senior Brother to the court, how about I hope Senior Brother will stay for another two years?" ”
"This ......" Yu Shiying saw Han Fei's sincerity, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Weichen respectfully obeys the will of the saint!" ”
"Okay, with my senior brother's words, I feel more at ease with the Zen position for the prince!" Han Fei laughed and said: "However, senior brother, don't be too tired, leave the trivial affairs to others to do, be sure to take care of your body, I plan to wait for the situation to stabilize, and then I will leave Beijing to see if those muddy boys have embarrassed me as a father, and then senior brother will accompany me!" ”
Yu Shiying's daughter married Han Fei's son Han Cheng, and followed Han Cheng to guard in Fusang, and he hadn't seen him for many years, he understood that Han Fei was inviting him to see his daughter, son-in-law and others, and immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
"Those children went out at a young age, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, I feel indebted, I went to see them this time, I can make up for a little bit of shortcomings!"
"All the princes understand the hard work of the saints, and there will be no complaints, not to mention that the princes can give full play to their talents in their respective territories, which is a great benefit to the country and the people!"
"Senior brother's words are good, Daming can be strong today, it is inseparable from the development of those children of mine, they have brought the prestige of Daming to all over the world!"
"Holy Heaven!"
Han Fei made the decision of the Zen prince, and immediately issued an edict to the Qintian Supervisor to select the auspicious day of the Zen throne to plan the Zen throne ceremony, although the ministers of the court and the central government had written against it, but Han Fei's intention was resolute, and finally the ministers accepted the decision. After all, Han Fei is indeed old, and it is normal to pass on the throne to the crown prince in advance, no matter how you say it, it is also a family affair of the emperor, and it will not affect the political situation of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as the auspicious day of Qin Tianjian arrived, the Zen throne ceremony was carried out in a solemn atmosphere, Han Fei sat on the dragon chair of Fengtian Temple, and the new monarch Han Jin walked into the main hall and bowed to Han Fei, "Sons and daughters knock to see their father!" ”
Han Fei looked at his son with a smile, stepped down the imperial steps, took the jade seal of the country from the hands of the celebrant and eunuch, and personally handed it to the new monarch Han Jin, "Emperor, I have handed over the Daming Jiangshan Sheji to you, I hope you will forge ahead and make the Ming Dynasty more brilliant!" ”
"The son respects the teachings of his father, and he must live up to his father's expectations!"
Han Jin took the jade seal, bowed to Han Fei again, and then got up and walked up the imperial steps, sat on the dragon chair, and accepted the worship of the ministers.
