King Shen and King Huo left, and Chenguang had passed the unitary time. [To see the latest chapter of this book, please go to hua.]

"God bless, after you leave the palace, you will go to Jiaguo Mansion to ......" The sage whispered to his daughter.

"Daddy, I understand." Li Yixun helped the saint out of the Taiye Pavilion, took the imperial boat out of the Taiye Pool, sat on the shoulder and still went out of the palace from the Yanzheng Gate of the East Inner Garden, and crossed the wide side street is Changle Fang, after returning home, she changed her clothes and quietly went to the house of Princess Jiaguo.

The sage drove back to the palace, and after three o'clock, he summoned the prince to the palace for dinner.

This is the time when the father and son contact the feelings, since the sage canonized the princess of Qin, the father-son relationship between the saint and the prince has heated up sharply, in addition to teaching political affairs every day, the prince will be summoned to eat every three or five days, and when the chamberlain goes to the East Palace to deliver the decree, everyone in the East Palace feels ordinary.

The crown prince took advantage of the public opinion to enter the inner palace.

At two o'clock in the night, the waiter in the East Palace returned to the crown princess: the saint and the prince talked too late, leaving the prince to sleep in the palace and not returning tonight. - This is also unusual, in the past year, the sage has diligently taught the prince that sometimes the sun is too late, and the prince will be left to rest in the palace.

The East Palace will be locked and no longer leave the door.

……

In the Qingjing Pavilion of the Zichen Palace, the prince experienced a process of swinging his heart and heart, listening to his father tell the whole thing, his forehead and underwear were full of cold sweat, and he felt afraid, but a heart that had been hanging since last night was stable in his chest, and he was no longer afraid because of speculation and fear of unknown circumstances.

Qin You went to the pantry and brought a hot towel to the prince to wipe his sweat, and then used a large dry towel to separate the prince's back to avoid cold sweat. After doing this, he silently retreated to the door.

The sage walked around the Qingjing Pavilion with his hands in his hands, and said in a cold voice: "By now, it has become obvious that this is a trap, a trap for Zhaohua. "The other party already knows that we suspect them of developing forbidden drugs, and have found their base in the South Gulf, so we simply abandon this base - at the cost of this base, lay a trap to trap Zhaohua." ”

His gaze became even more chilling, "Such a huge volcanic island, it is impossible to completely collapse with just a few holes planted with explosives, it must be fully paved, this cannot be done temporarily - when Zhaohua and the others entered the crater, the volcano was already a mountain of explosives full of explosives arranged in advance." ”

The prince clenched his fists, "They want Zhaohua to be crushed!" ”

Although he is not fully aware of the gunpowder achievements of the Ordnance Supervision Research Institute, the prince can also deduce that the amount of explosives required to cause such a volcano collapse must be amazing, and it is likely to reach tens of thousands or even 100,000 catties, and the other party does not hesitate to expose the secret of the secret research of gunpowder that has been hidden for decades, and pay such a big price, that is, Zhaohua will die a foolproof death!

The prince sensed a deep crisis, as if there were countless malicious wolves staring at his daughter, ready to pounce on the fatal blow at any moment. If it doesn't work this time, what about next time?

The saint's expression was grim, "Now what they are trying to deal with is Zhaohua. As long as Zhaohua does not die, they will be restless every day. If Zhaohua is difficult to get away with this time, their future actions may be even crazier. Zhaohua's fearless and imminent nature also gave them the opportunity to calculate. Speaking of this, the saint sighed deeply.

The prince also had a headache for Li Yuzhen, but he still defended his daughter: "She is a sword cultivator, and she can't retreat from difficulties." ”

The saint snorted, "You still defend her, you are the one who came out." ”

The prince said in his heart: Didn't you indulge her? And King Qi, weren't those assassinations made by you with your connivance? But he is generous and filial, and even though he has a good opinion of his father's ruthless way of choosing the imperial heir, he will not complain to his father in person. [hua. update fast,The website page is refreshing,There are few ads,,I like this kind of website the most,Be sure to praise] blame in the end,Or your body is not good,Otherwise, why is it so difficult for my father to choose an heir,And have to take a dangerous road? You don't have to take longevity pills to burn life to strengthen your energy.

When the prince thought of this, he was filled with grief and sincerely apologized to his father, "Father, it's my fault. ”

The father and son are not talking about the same thing, but their feelings are the same.

The sage's gaze softened, and he said, "It's no wonder you. Zhaohua is willful, he is a strong calf, and no one can pull him around. He reluctantly used a folk saying, walked a few more steps, and said in a slow tone, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Zhaohua must have the burden of a gentleman, so he can't be so willful and risk himself. ”

The "gentleman" mentioned by the sage is obviously not the "gentleman" mentioned by Confucianism.

The gentleman, the king and the son - the emperor and the prince.

The prince looked at his father, his expression was surprised and calm, and he said solemnly: "You have already decided?" ”

The sage said, "I have made up my mind. ”

The prince got up and knelt down, without words of humility or excuse himself, and bowed his head, and said in a quiet voice, "The child understands. Obey the will of the Father. ”

The sage looked at him for a while, and said with satisfaction: "Prince, you are very good. ”

Zhaohua has a father like you, it's good.

It's good that I have a son like you.

***

The next day was the second day of the new year, and July had passed and it was August.

Since the saint canonized the princess of Qin, he will no longer be a dynasty on five days, and then only the fifth and twenty-fifth days of the first month, and the first and fifteenth Shuowang court counselors will be ordered by the Zhongshu Order, Shizhong, Shangshu Ling three prime ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall in turn, and the hundred officials have something to submit directly to the palace, and the prime minister will preside over the court discussion, and then submit it to the inner house in case of indecision. Today is the second day of the first month, not the saint looks at the sun, nor is it the prime minister's day of the palace, the palace door is opened in the early morning, and the hundred officials enter the palace directly after entering the palace, and they do not need to go to the palace.

The prime ministers and deputy prime ministers of the government hall are all in the government hall in the morning, and in the afternoon, they go back to the official office to do business, and the ministers and ministers salute each other and greet each other, and each enters his own public house, as usual, he first has a cup of tea, and then thinks about today's important events and itinerary. Shang Shuling Wei Chongrun's habit is to write today's plan as soon as he arrives at the public house, of course, he will only use symbols to represent important events, and soon the book is full of a page, browse it, and circle the word "pilot", which is an important thing. The government affairs hall has passed the bill on the pre-health of public welfare diseases, and now the relevant provisions are revised by the Tai Medical Department, and it is now necessary to determine where the pilot is necessary in Kyoto, and the Kamijo Prefecture of Hexi, as well as the upper prefecture of Zhudao, as well as the pilot in the countryside, which needs to be consulted with Moping......

"Xianggong, the lieutenant official came to announce, and the saint summoned him." His musings were interrupted by a retribution.

Wei Chongrun immediately got up, went to the dressing mirror in the inner room to tidy up his robe and appearance, and calmly walked out of the room. When I went out, I saw that Pei Chang, the secretary of the book, and Cui Xizhen, the waiter, also walked out. The three of them greeted each other with their heads bowed, and then went with the waiter waiting under the corridor.

The group went out of the political affairs hall, entered the Zichen Gate through the west pavilion gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, and entered the Zichen Palace.

Zichen Hall is forbidden in the inner court, it is not only the inner court of the minister's discussion, but also the emperor's bedroom, the saint in addition to sitting in the front hall of the sun, usually summoning the ministers are in the east and west warm pavilion, today the three ministers are in the inner hall of the main hall to discuss matters.

Cui Xizhen and the three of them were thinking, what is the big deal here?

The three of them took off their boots and entered, stepped up the steps to the hall, and saw the saint wearing an ochre yellow dragon robe, sitting cross-legged on the throne, with a stack of chapters on the desk, and was holding a book to read, hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, and saw that his eyebrows were handsome and his eyes were bright, and his spirit was excellent, and there were still only a few fine lines at the corners of his eyes on his jade-like face, which added to the charm of the mature years, and it was still their handsome and invincible saint Majesty, who was old and old, and when he saw them, he started to mock, "I wait for you old arms and legs to shake upside down, and your waist will be sore." ”

As soon as the three of them heard the conventional mockery mode of the saint, their hearts were reassured, it seemed that it was not a holy bow and disobedience, and the time limit had come, so it was not a big deal.

The three prime ministers stepped on the banquet and sat down to worship, "The minister sees His Majesty." 陛xià Wan'an. The latter sentence is sincere.

"I'm very safe." The sage laughed, "Get up and sit down." ”

The prime minister of the Tang Dynasty is precious, and the face of the monarch has a seat, and a small square couch on the east side of the Danqi is prepared for the prime minister, and the three of them sit on the three square couches in order.

The sage looked at the three ministers and said slowly: "There is an important decision to call you here early in the morning. ”

It was not a "discussion", but a "resolution", and when the three of them heard the saint say this, their faces showed surprised and stern expressions.

The sage's voice was calm and powerful, "I ascended to the pole at the age of thirty-two, and I have inherited the great unification of my ancestors for thirty-eight years. Thirty-eight years of conscientious work, I dare not say that the meritorious deeds are eternal, but I dare to think that I am worthy of the foundation delivered by the first emperor, worthy of the ancestors of the past dynasties, under the rule of me, Wen Cheng Wu, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and it is still thriving. I have also selected an heir who is worthy of paying to the society, and the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is waiting for a thousand generations, and I am very relieved. ”

When the three of them heard this, they all chuckled in their hearts, how did it sound like the meaning of the edict?

Could it be that the time limit for saints has come?

The faces of the three changed drastically.

"Majesty!"

Cui Xi Zhencai waved his hand before he was interrupted by the sage's wave, "You don't need to panic, I won't be able to ascend to the sky for a while." ”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't know what the saint meant, and their hearts were still hanging.

The sage said: "It's a pity, since I am old, I feel that my energy is not good, for the sake of diligent and sensitive political affairs, I used the longevity pill, then the life limit has been set, and the medicine stone cannot be changed." Back then, the Taiqing Sect once said that if I was carefully conditioned, I could expect to live eighty years. But I don't want to be an emperor in the twilight of my life! When a person is old, his suspicion is serious, his suspicion is also heavy, and it is easy for the monarch and the minister to be centrifuged; The sensitivity to think about the country's major policies and the courage to act decisively are also much less than before, and it is difficult to compare the handling of government with what it used to be, which is a sour but important fact. Lao Ji Fu Fang, with ambitions for thousands of miles, needs to have that body. In the twilight of the martyrs, the heart is full of strength, and they need to have that energy. Otherwise, they are all powerless. I am old, and the empire is like the rising sun, it should be a galloping horse, strong and powerful, and it cannot be pulled by an old man in his twilight years, that is, the old ox pulls the cart. ”

The saint smiled heartily.

The three of them respected in their hearts, the saint's free and easy choice of life and death and great wisdom and courage were absolutely beyond the power of human beings, especially a ninety-five supreme, who gave up ten years of life and ten years of supreme imperial power; But at the same time, their hearts were sad because the saint's life limit was approaching.

The temple fell into a state of silence.

The saint said with a look of disgust: "Don't make such a bitter face! Look at you, the old cucumber with a wrinkled face, and a frowning face, it is not pleasing to the eye. I want to have an extra bowl of rice at noon. ”

Sanchen: "......"

Looking up at the emperor on the throne, who was seventy years old and still handsome, and made all middle-aged and elderly men outrageous, Cui Xizhen, who had a wrinkled face, snorted, "Your Majesty said it well, in fact, it is Aimei." Rolled his eyes, "It's beautiful to die." ”

The sage laughed, "I know that you old cucumber is jealous that I am younger and more handsome than you. ”

Tracy sneered, "Young? - Old cucumbers are painted with green paint and pretended to be tender. ”

The saint was proud, "A person's foundation is good, and it is good to pretend to be anything." Like you, even if the old cucumber is painted with green paint, it can't be tender. ”

Cui Xi was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and prepare to have a big fight with the saint.

The sage waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, get down to business." ”

Cui Xizhen's beard curled, and Pei Chang and Wei Chongrun also twitched the corners of their mouths silently - who is the first to talk about it?

But the atmosphere of the main hall is alive in the end.

The sage's words made the atmosphere sink down.

"The day of my deadline is next year."

The three ministers were shocked at the same time, this was the first time that the saint clearly said that he was about the limit, and it was earlier than they expected, and his heart couldn't help but feel sad again, remembering that the monarch and the minister had been together for decades, but now the monarch was about to return, and he couldn't help but cry in sadness.

Wei Chongrun forced the sourness in his heart, and said with relief: "Your Majesty is full of energy, and you will definitely be able to spend the next two years in peace." ”

The saint waved his hand, "The number of lifespans has been set, and the will of heaven is difficult to change." I was prepared when I took the pill, and you don't have to be relieved. Today, I summoned Sanqing, that is, because my limit is approaching, it was decided to give the Zen throne to the crown prince, and I abdicated as the emperor. ”

The three ministers were suddenly shocked and blurted out: "Your Majesty! ”

The sage said: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade him. In this way, the new dynasty and the old dynasty can be connected more smoothly and are conducive to stability. ”

Hearing the words "favorable to stability", the three prime ministers all fell silent, and after thinking about it carefully, the sage's consideration was proper and wise. It's just that as a courtier who has been with the saint for decades, and he has been in harmony with the monarch for more than ten years, it is difficult to part with each other emotionally.

"That's it. In the book order, the edict is proposed. The saint's face was calm, and his gaze was unshakable.

The three ministers stayed on the ground together, and Pei Changgong received the order, "The ministers obey the order." ”

The pen fell, and the edict was completed.

***

"When! While! While! ”

At the right time, the Zichen bell on the gate tower of Zichen Gate suddenly rang.

The officials of the various government offices in the palace raised their heads when they heard the bell, and their faces were stunned.

Today is not the emperor looking at the sun, why did he ring the bell of the inner court?

Could it be that the saint looked at the pilgrimage temporarily?

What's going on?

At the time of Chenzheng, the six departments that received the transmission of the political affairs hall, the chief officer of the temple supervisor, the Yulin Army and the general of the Sixteen Guards, the general of the unified army, and the privy councillor of the Wuying Hall all rushed to the Zichen Gate, entered the palace from the east and west pavilion gates, and sat in the hall in the civil and military shifts, and listened to the three jade chimes sounding, the saint ascended to the throne, and the ministers bowed down and shouted: "See Your Majesty!" Blessed is the Holy Bow! ”

The chamberlain shouted, "Rise—"

The ministers stood up and stood back.

I saw the young scholar Yuan Yong holding a shaft of ochre yellow embroidered dragon with both hands, walking from the side of the throne to the front of the Danqi, with a handsome posture, handsome as Zhilan, and shouted to the ministers: "The ministers listen to the order." ”

The ministers bowed down.

Yuan Yong read aloud: "The edict said: I am the life of Haotian, the blessing of the ancestors, the trust of the emperor, and the unification of Shao, thirty-eight years in here." Sleepless at night, dare to slack off......"

The edict was drafted by Pei Chang in the Chinese book, Cui Xizhen and Wei Chongrun made up for the tune of the sage, and the thousands of words are all about the merits of the sage, the writing is brilliant, Bingbing is brilliant, and it is very rich in the beauty of the rhyme of the words, and it is read out in the clear and grand voice of Yuan Yong, just like a pearl rolling down the jade plate, Ding Dong is pleasant, but the whole text is full of words and exaggeration, and the words of the saints are rigorous, no exaggeration and no modesty, fair and objective, fully embodying a "reality".

But the ministers felt that something was wrong when they listened to it, this kind of edict of self-expression of merit is usually used to seal Zen and the title of honor, but the emperor of the Tang Dynasty never sealed Zen, and since Gaozong issued an edict banning the title of honor, he did not give himself the title of honor; There is only one possibility, and that is the edict of succession - but that was only read by the queen of the dragon and the bintian, and the saint will be fine on the throne!

Soon, the ministers understood.

"Since I succeeded to the unification, all the important affairs of the military state have not been tireless, but the destiny has returned, and the fairy sound has been heard. I think that if there is a wise monarch, the country will be stable, and if there is a benevolent monarch, the people will be safe. The crown prince is wise and wise, benevolent and generous, and can be the emperor. I was called Emperor Taishang and retired to Renshou Palace. …… Chinese and foreign columns, left and right loyalty, each is sincere, supplemented by governance. The proclamation is far and wide, and it should be decent. ”

The heads of the ministers "boomed".

Majesty xià This is to be inner Zen!
