Chapter 974: Retreat
Just as Yang Zheng was about to abdicate, something happened that made him immersed in grief again.
Liu Heng actually died first.
This thief's nature has not changed, and after the recovery of his body in the past few years, he got carried away again, secretly took Wushi San, and counted women at night, and finally ran out of oil and dried up, and fell on the woman's belly......
A joke from that year came true.
Character determines fate, and you can't stop what you want to go.
Looking at Liu Heng in the coffin, he was no longer as strong as he was back then, like a dried corpse that had been drained of water, "Your kid has lived in vain in this life, and he has been a merry ghost." ”
Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, I don't feel that sadness comes from it, and there is no feast in the world.
When the time comes, we will part ways.
Maybe it's because people are getting older, their hearts are getting more, they think about it day and night, and for four or five days in a row, Yang Zheng dreamed of Liu Heng and dreamed of the days when they charged into battle together in the past.
I dreamed that he was smirking at himself......
When I woke up, I only felt groggy.
Yang Xu guarded by his side inch by the side, serving the decoction.
Coupled with Huangfu Mi's treatment, Yang Zheng gradually improved after more than half a month.
Experiencing this incident also strengthened Yang Zheng's mind to abdicate.
In the first half of his life, he spent his nights dreaming of Daqin's charge, a person's life is long and short, and the remaining years, Yang Zheng just wants to live for himself.
As soon as the wind was released, a few ordinary scholars came to advise.
"Your Majesty is in the prime of life, and it is time to lead Daqin to create a prosperous era, and now he is eager to abdicate, and the people and soldiers will be uncomfortable." Wei Qian was the first to speak.
The world only knows that Wei Zheng is in power and opposition, but in fact, if there was no Yang Zheng behind his back all these years, Wei Qian would have been trampled under the feet of Qingying and other factions.
The tree is a big move.
The important ministers of the Great Qin Empire, such as Lu Zhi and Du Pre, either semi-retired or served outside, not mixing with the troubled waters of the court.
Only Wei Qian has been standing on the cusp.
Therefore, Yang Zheng's abdication had the greatest impact on him.
"The country is in urgent need, and Your Majesty is abdicating at this time, I am afraid that something will be slightly wrong." Lu Zhi's words were more tactful.
The rest of Suo Jing and Yanghu were silent as usual.
Yang Zheng shook his head, "I have thought of everything I should have thought of, I am not in the prime of life now, five years ago, I was sick and painful, and I often felt exhausted, these years have been walking on thin ice, it is not easy to survive to this day, and I want to live for a few more years, as for the people and soldiers, they will adapt to a new emperor." ”
The prince passed all the tests of Yang Zheng perfectly, and did better than Yang Zheng in some aspects.
Yang Zheng ruled the country fiercely, suppressed what should be suppressed, and uprooted what should be uprooted, leaving behind an almost perfect Great Qin.
Yang Xu is generous by nature, and Huaxia, which has come out of the flames of a hundred years of war, needs a monarch like him.
The tragedy of many dynasties in history is the greed for power.
On the other hand, now the prince's wings are also stiff, and there are countless capable ministers and fierce generals under his command, and they also need to be on top.
If he continues to stay on the throne, he will inevitably block the path of some people.
"If Your Majesty retires, the minister will also resign, and the minister's health has deteriorated over the years, and it is time to retire." Wei Qian arched his hand.
"The ministers also resign." Lu Zhi, Suo Jing, and Yanghu arched their hands.
"You ......" Yang Zheng knew their thoughts.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the new dynasty has the rules of the new dynasty, and they may not be able to adapt to it.
The position of Ping Shang Shushi is also enough to make the magnates of the new dynasty blush.
The struggle is everywhere and will not stop, and the slightest carelessness can wipe out the fame accumulated over decades.
After so many years of tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, several people were silent.
In fact, it is a good thing for them to retire now.
Yang Zheng pondered for a long time before he said: "I already know your intentions, but the replacement of the old and the new requires a process, and I also need you to help me set off the prince, so let's retire one person every year or two." ”
Four people is seven or eight years.
Lu Zhi is old, Wei Qian is in high places, Suo Jing is not very old, and it is a pity that he has retired now, and Yanghu has also been sick in recent years.
Everyone has their own situation.
"Command!" The four of them gave up.
These people were settled, and the ministers in the court could only go with the flow, and the local exhortation tables flew like snowflakes, asking Yang Zheng to think twice.
In fact, they have been mentally prepared for a long time.
Over the years, Yang Zheng has continued to overpower the crown prince, which is already a clear signal.
Whoever leaves the world will turn the same.
However, when Yang Zheng's abdication edict was issued, the people of the entire Daxing City took to the streets, kneeling facing the north, tears flowing, and the mourning shook the sky, reaching the palace, "Why did Your Majesty abandon me and wait?" ”
What's more, kneeling on the street, three days and three nights, praying for Yang Zheng.
Fainting in pain, as many as 1,000 people.
When Yang Zheng heard this voice, he suddenly felt that he had not come to this world in vain.
There are still so many people who remember themselves.
No matter what you say about yourself in the history books, at least in the minds of the people, you are still a good emperor.
The suppression of the nobles, the migration of the powerful, the punishment of corruption, and the exemption from exorbitant taxes are all for the well-being of the people.
Many monarchs in history regarded the people as cattle and sheep, thinking that they had no thoughts and no feelings, but the great man said that the eyes of the masses are clear, and they know who is really good for them.
I wanted to hide in the deep palace, but there were more and more people crying, and the crying became louder and louder.
It is as if the child is longing for the comfort of his parents, which is heartbreaking.
Jing Zhaoyin's people tried to persuade him for many days, but to no avail.
Yang Zheng walked to the street with his guards and bowed his hand to the people, "Why do you have to do this? My mission has ended, and the next will be a new era, and Great Qin will be even more brilliant, and I hope that you will support the new monarch as much as you support me. ”
Looking at the anticipating crowd, Yang Zheng's words suddenly increased, "I believe that my son will definitely be able to do better, and the prosperity of Great Qin will definitely reappear in his hands." ”
The people listened intently, the sadness on their faces gradually faded, and their eyes began to brighten.
"Your Majesty's son, of course it won't be bad!"
"The prince is also a benevolent and virtuous king, and our good days are yet to come."
Someone in the crowd excitedly said.
For so many years, it was they who sent their heirs into the army and spilled their blood on the battlefield to have Daqin today.
Therefore, their feelings for Daqin are the most sincere and simple.
"I've worked hard all my life, it's time to rest, and in the future, I'll ride a horse, travel the world, and give lectures in Taixue. You can also rest assured, my mission is to let the world enter a new prosperous era, the old have something to rely on, the young have to support, and no one is hungry and cold! ”
"Your Majesty......"
The crowd began to cry again, but this time not in grief, but in tears of joy.
