Because it was getting late, Emperor Ming Yuan would definitely not be able to make it to Beijing today, so he stayed in Meizhuang.
Princess Luoman prepared new beds and bedding for them, and they were washed cleanly. The room was also bright and clean, facing a patch of peach blossoms, which allowed Emperor Mingyuan to eliminate all the fatigue from the journey.
The back window of the dormitory was slightly open, and a large mandala was planted. At this time, it was blooming in full bloom, and the fragrance blended with the fragrance of peach blossoms, making people comfortable and drowsy.
.
Emperor Ming Yuan went to bed early, fell asleep immediately, and slept until the sun rose high.
He was supposed to leave for Beijing today, but he insisted on staying one more day.
Prince Anfeng always accompanied him, making tea, drinking tea, and talking about the country.
In the evening, while making tea and talking again, all the impulses of Emperor Ming Yuan turned into one sentence, "Uncle, I have something to say. Please don't be angry if I say it."
Prince Anfeng's hand holding the tea cup actually trembled slightly, and he raised his eyes, "Say!"
Emperor Ming Yuan retreated to the left and right, not allowing anyone else in the main hall, and lowered his voice and said: "I have the intention of abdicating the throne!"
Prince Anfeng put down the teacup, "You decided on your own? No one forced you?"
Emperor Ming Yuan frowned and shook his head slowly, "I am telling the truth. Is your uncle very disappointed?"
Prince Anfeng sighed softly, "There are some..."
Emperor Ming Yuan murmured: "This... I also know that it is too selfish. I just give up my burden like this, and it's hard for me."
Prince Anfeng's eyes were anxious, but then he calmed down, "Don't care whether I am disappointed or not, just follow your own heart. As for whether to embarrass Lao Wu, there are two things to say. He is definitely tired, but when
Who in the Yuwen family is not tired? But being tired is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he can finally let go and do what he wants to do. This is a good thing for Beitang and him."
After hearing this, Emperor Ming Yuan was half touched and half shocked, "Uncle, what do you mean, I stopped him? I have let him go now."
Prince Anfeng smiled, picked up the teapot, and put a pebble in. "This pebble is in the teapot. You tell it that you are free in the teapot, but you cannot touch the teapot. This is true."
Delegate power?”
Emperor Ming Yuan frowned, "Although we talk about delegating power, there must be rules and regulations and we can't do anything arbitrarily!"
Prince Anfeng smiled and said, "Yes, there must be rules and regulations, upper and lower limits. This teapot is the rules and regulations. He can only act within your rules and regulations now, but once he ascends the throne, this teapot will be determined by him."
The rules may be enlarged, reduced, or moved higher. These are all determined by him and his ministers, and the standards set are to see whether they are suitable for today's development."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the teapot intently, his eyes a little complicated, "Are you saying that the rules I set are not suitable for the current development of the Northern Tang Dynasty?"
Prince Anfeng nodded, "That's what you mean!"
Emperor Ming Yuan felt disappointed, "I've always done a bad job, haven't I?"
Prince Anfeng looked at him, reached over and patted his shoulder, "No, you helped your father to survive the most impoverished time safely. Your golden mean has stabilized the Northern Tang Dynasty for ten years. Now the Northern Tang Dynasty
It is time for Tang Dynasty to develop. If Northern Tang Dynasty wants to achieve trade interconnection with neighboring countries, it can no longer be conservative. Your inability to do this has nothing to do with your ability. I can only say that this is not your expertise, and this matter
Things need to be done by a motivated and motivated team.”
Emperor Ming Yuan seemed to understand but didn't understand.
Prince Anfeng looked at it and said: "There is a country... This country is overseas. You don't know that this country changes its leader every few years. Among the candidates, each has his own talent. How has the country developed?
No one is greedy for power, just to develop the country into the richest and most prosperous country so that all the people can live a good life. I say this, do you understand?"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked a little shocked, "Is there such a country?"
"Yes, what you do depends on what you have in mind? Is the power more important, or the people?"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him blankly, "I... have never thought about this issue, so I have never made a choice."
Prince Anfeng said: "Now you can think about it carefully. If you think about it, you can also make good arrangements."
Emperor Ming Yuan slowly picked up the teapot, and the heavy stone in his heart seemed to be moved away.
The next day, Emperor Ming Yuan was leaving.
Prince Anfeng told him the last thing, saying: "I will leave in a few days, and this plum garden will also be sold. The plum garden is your aunt's hard work for many years. If it is sold to others, I really want to sell it to others."
If you don’t want to, if the emperor is interested, you can set a price and let’s talk!”
"Uncle, are you really going to sell Plum Village?" Emperor Ming Yuan was surprised. This Plum Village is extremely beautiful, full of popularity and fireworks inside and out. Wouldn't it be a pity to sell it?
"Yes, there are already several buyers!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked around for a moment and said: "I want it, but don't sell it to others. How much money?"
Prince Anfeng's lips opened slowly, "One million taels, the entire plum garden, plus the mountains in front and behind it!"
"So expensive?" Concubine Hu took a breath.
Prince Anfeng said: "It's worth the money. This plum grove and this peach grove have been harvested for many years, and the geographical location is excellent. It is opposite the official road. It is quiet and prosperous. It is a rare treasure. The most important thing is
, this mountain is just a jade mine, and it is privately owned by the king, and the court cannot take it back."
"real?"
"Yes, I have dug and made an opening. Come here..." Prince Anfeng led them forward, walked around the path in front of the house and walked to the back. They saw that the place was covered with straw.
, Prince Anfeng opened the straw and saw a piece of stone skin exposed inside that was glowing with dark blue.
Concubine Hu was surprised, "Is this jade?"
Prince Anfeng smiled and said: "I don't know, I don't have much research on stones."
"I'll buy it, I'll buy it!" Emperor Ming Yuan said immediately. Jade is the favorite of the Emperor and the Crown Princess, and it is worth a lot of money. If you buy it and excavate it, you don't know how many good things can be found.
"Okay, then one million taels, please prepare it, the emperor." Prince Anfeng smiled.
"Okay..." Emperor Ming Yuan nodded, but suddenly looked back and asked suspiciously: "Where did the cheers come from?"
Prince Anfeng turned around, glared at a certain place, then turned around and said with a smile: "No, it's the sound of wind coming from the canyon on the opposite side!"
"I see, then I will go back first, and uncle will stay behind!" Emperor Ming Yuan said.
"Walk slowly, walk slowly!" Prince Anfeng watched him turn around, and joy gradually appeared in his eyes.
Luan Jia left slowly, and Princess Luoman stood beside him, a little worried, "That jade mine thing..." Will dyeing be beaten?
Prince Anfeng looked at her and said seriously: "White marble is also a jade mine."
Princess Luoman nodded, "Well, let's just forget about white marble's other name, marble. After all, white marble is just one type of marble."
In Beijing, Lao Wu has arranged everything and is just waiting to go to modern times to complete his wedding. This chapter has been completed!
