After listening to Zhao Yunling's worries, Rong Yan naturally felt that it made sense.

First, because there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an emperor, although Rong Huan is smart, they have never taught her about politics seriously. If she really wants to pass on the throne to Rong Huan, it will take a long time to teach her this.

Even if you don't care about anything else, if you have to let Rong Huan be the empress, you will definitely encounter great resistance.

This is not something that can be solved by iron-blooded suppression, the concept of a man being an emperor has been deeply rooted in the psychology of the people, and the road to the empress is too difficult, they only hope that their daughter can be safe and happy for a lifetime, and they don't want her to carry such a heavy burden for the rest of her life.

In the end, the two gave up on this option.

"Then let Tang He succeed to the throne, how about it?" Zhao Yunling pondered for a long time and then suddenly said.

Tang He was originally the third prince of the Hu people, and he was an emperor since he was a child, and he was extremely good in both strategy and practice, plus he was their son-in-law, so it was reasonable for him to succeed to the throne. Moreover, Tang He and Rong Huan have been married for so many years, and Tang He's temperament has long been clearly seen by them, and they can rest assured that they can give him power.

After thinking about all this, Rong Yan suddenly clapped his palms, "This is indeed a good idea, but if I really want to abdicate, I still have to deal with some things before I can start to prepare." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yunling asked.

"Pull out some nails." Rong Yan said in a deep voice.

No matter which dynasty it is, there will be some incompetent people in the DPRK who rely on their connections to call for wind and rain in the DPRK. These people are usually not petty fights, Rong Yan turned a blind eye and passed, since he decided to abdicate, Rong Yan's eyes have become more and more unable to tolerate sand, and he feels more and more that these people are in the way.

Because of Rong Yan's change, although the people in the DPRK and China are becoming more and more calm on the surface, they are secretly turbulent, including Qiu Xu, a cabinet minister and secretary of the ministry.

Shi Qiuxu is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he is also the most respected of the ministers who are dissatisfied with Rong Yan in the court, and he is also the most able to rely on the old and sell the old. His merits are far inferior to those of other cabinet ministers who are in office with him, but because he has never been able to undertake any too important tasks and has never made any big mistakes, he has always relied on this position, and he has also won the hearts of many people by taking advantage of his position.

Rong Yan also turned a blind eye to him, and the two parties have always been peaceful, but now that Rong Yan has started to act, and as soon as he made a move, he took the slasher of his subordinates, and Shi Qiu Xu began to panic.

And after he panicked, the first thing he thought of was not how to surrender to Rong Yan so that he could escape this catastrophe, but wanted to find a way to empty Rong Yan and take power from Rong Yan's hands.

Since thinking about this, Shi Qiu Xu has worked harder to win people's hearts, form a party for personal gain, and even sell official positions, although he consciously did it very hidden, but he couldn't escape Rong Yan's palm at all, and finally what he did finally reached the point that Rong Yan couldn't bear it.

And on the night when Rong Yan decided to start doing it, Shi Qiu Xu sent someone to sneak into Rong Yan's dormitory, in a vain attempt to give him a medicine that would incapacitate him.

But Rong Yan had already known the news through his eyeliner, so how could he let him succeed, and easily subdued the assassin who sneaked in, and asked him to bring a message to Shi Qiu Xu.

Rong Yan said, "Shi Qiu Xu, your time of death has arrived. ”

After the poor assassin brought the message to Shi Qiu Xu, he died at the hands of Rong Yan's men. And Shi Qiuxu was too late to run at this time. Before he even had time to go out, Rong Yan's holy decree to put him in prison had already arrived, and a few days later, Shi Qiu Xu also "committed suicide" in prison as expected by Rong Yan.

As soon as this incident came out, everyone in the DPRK and China was in danger, and the big stone that Rong Yan had been pressing in his heart was finally half lighter, so people called Shoufu and several officials he trusted over for a secret talk.

Several officials were quite trembling when they were called over because of what Rong Yan had done recently, for fear that what they had done recently would anger Rong Yan, and they would be put in prison in the next second.

But I didn't expect that when Rong Yan called them over, not only did he look gentle, but fortunately calmed the emotions of each of them, which made everyone more flattered and worried in addition to trembling.

And then Rong Yan said something that made them even more unbelievable than going to jail,

Rong Yan said, "I want to abdicate." ”

As soon as they heard this, several officials, without exception, felt that there was something wrong with their ears, or that Rong Yan had said the wrong thing, and stood there for a while.

It was Shoufu who reacted first, and immediately knelt in front of Rong Yan, "Holy Lord, this must not be!" ”596

Several other officials immediately knelt in front of Rong Yan and echoed, "Please think twice!" ”

Rong Yan was very resolute, "This is the result of thinking twice." I have already thought about it, after I abdicate, I will be succeeded by my son-in-law Tang He, and I call you here today, I also hope that you can accept the decision I made, and after my abdication, I will assist Tang He well and protect the peace of my society. ”

But who knew that when a few people heard that they were going to let Tang He succeed to the throne, they reacted even more.

"Shengshang, this Tang Heyuan is the third prince of the Hu people, although he will be quite successful in politics now, but it is difficult to guarantee that no one will think of him Hu people in his heart, this must not be!" Shoufu said, kowtowing heavily to Rong Yan.

Rong Yan smiled when he heard this, "Then do you want my daughter Rong Huan to succeed to the throne, or do you want my four or five-year-old grandson Yueping to succeed to the throne?" ”

"This ......" Shoufu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say again.

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I value your loyalty and talent, so I will summon you here alone today, and confess to you, I hope that you can still be loyal to the court and the country after I abdicate, and continue to support the community, can you do it?"

As soon as a few people heard Rong Yan's tone, they knew that there was no room for this matter to turn around, so they could only respond.

And after that, Rong Yan also told them the inside story of Shi Qiu Xu's matter. Now Shi Qiu Xu has fallen, but his previous party has been formed, and although he is now an ownerless faction, it is a force in the end, and if he does not get rid of them, Rong Yan's heart will be uneasy for a day.

Fortunately, Rong Yan's ability to see people has always been not bad, and the ability of these officials who were summoned by him alone is also extremely strong, and with their help, the Shi faction rebel party that has just emerged in the court has collapsed in one fell swoop, and those who have been imprisoned have been imprisoned, and those who have returned to their hometowns have returned to their hometowns.

After experiencing this uproar, the court finally calmed down completely, and Rong Yan had to spare his hand to deal with his abdication.

wanted Tang He to succeed to the throne, Rong Yan didn't even tell Tang He himself in addition to telling those officials, and now that he was free, after discussing with Zhao Yunling, he chose a day to tell Tang He about it.

Tang He was shocked when he heard the news, he never thought that Rong Yan would pass on such an important throne to him, who was once the third prince of the Hu people, and even felt that Rong Yan was testing him at the first time, and he was about to kowtow when he knelt down.

Zhao Yunling was shocked when he saw this, and reached out to pull him up, but he didn't pull him, "Tang He, what are you doing here?" Hurry up, this is not a temptation for you, we made this decision after careful consideration, including what Rong Yan has done in the past few days, which is paving the way for your future succession. ”

"But why me? I can't even imagine ...... "Tang He's voice is shaking.

"Over the years, we have also known what kind of person you are and what kind of abilities you have. Tang He, you must be good to Huan'er in the future, if I find out......" Rong Yan did not say the latter words.

Tang He naturally knew what Rong Yan was going to say, so he raised his palms on the spot and swore to the sky, "If I don't treat Huan'er well and be unfaithful to Huan'er in the future, don't let me hit five thunders in the sky, and I won't die well!" ”

It wasn't until Tang He finished swearing that Zhao Yunling was finally able to pull him up, "Look at what you're talking about." However, you must keep the vows you have just made. ”

In terms of courtiers, Rong Yan had already solved the problem before, and now even the final Tang River level had passed, and the ceremony of abdication and succession was completed with the support of Rong Yan and the courtiers who had been summoned before.

Because Rong Yan had previously carried out a major purge of the court, the abdication and succession ceremonies went smoothly. But because of Tang He's identity, many old ministers are quite skeptical about Tang He's ability, and even many old ministers firmly believe that Tang He relied on Rong Huan to ascend to the throne, and there are not a few old ministers who have taken leave in the court for a while.

But it was a coincidence that there was news of the flood in Kanto at this time, and because of the dissatisfaction of the old ministers with the Tang River, it directly led to the strike of many officials in the court.

However, this country is already located between mountains and rivers, and there have been many large and small floods, but this time the floods in Kanto are slightly bigger.

As soon as he heard the news, he distributed relief money, opened warehouses to release grain, caught corruption, and carried out construction and drainage, and a series of measures went down, and the floods in Kanto began not long before they showed signs of ending.

Not only did those old ministers not get Tang He's request for help, but they heard the news that the flood had eased, and they all changed a lot about Tang River for a while, and they ended their leave, returned to the imperial court, and finally did their best for the flood.

Seeing such a scene, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling also completely relieved Tang He,

They have lived most of their lives, and they have long been tired of ordinary people or the boring things of dealing with government affairs every day.

After the flooding in Kanto ended and the situation in the court gradually stabilized, Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling told Tang He Rong Huan about their intention to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and after a brief farewell, they went on the road.
