Yu Wenhao still asked the prince to supervise the country. There was no rush to tell the Supreme Emperor about this matter. He would observe and observe first. This matter was too big to be decided hastily.
In fact, he felt that it was okay to retire when he was younger. Looking at the past monarchs, they worked hard to govern when they were young, but in their old age they became a little dull and dictatorial.
This may be because when people grow old, they are afraid of death and loss, so they must try their best to hold on to the power in their hands and not allow anyone to provoke them.
My father also had a hint of this back then, and his actions gradually became biased.
He was thinking this, but he also felt that he was making excuses. If he was making excuses, it would be somewhat shameless.
But you can't say that, why should Lao Yuan sacrifice for him? Her parents and relatives are in another time and space, and her career is also there, but Beitang, a big family member, has trapped her. To put it bluntly, isn't it?
Moral kidnapping?
You can't be so shameless.
After half a month of this, after observing the prince, it became more obvious that he wanted to semi-retreat, so he decided to leave the palace to talk to the Supreme Emperor first.
Since the three giants are always together now, and there are no secrets between the three of them, he did not discuss this matter with the Supreme Emperor alone, but also asked the two of them to be present.
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, his expression became serious and he did not say a word for a long time.
The other two people were silent. Mr. Chu was meditating and weighing, his old mind running at high speed.
Gradually, both the Supreme Emperor and Duke Xiaoyao looked at Mr. Chu at the same time. He knew the current situation in the court best.
He asked no questions about anything he said, but he couldn't sit still. When he had free time, he ran to talk to the students, used excuses to visit the ministers' homes, and occasionally interacted with the old ministers.
Also, he pays special attention to the prince's side. Whoever comes to the East Palace, he will ask people to investigate the three generations of family history. He seems to care about nothing, but in fact he cares about everything.
This is also the reason why the hair on his head turns gray quickly.
Mr. Chu finally nodded slowly, and Xiaoyao Gong said: "Okay, that's okay."
Yu Wenhao looked at the Supreme Emperor, but the Supreme Emperor frowned, as if he was still worried.
"Grandfather, don't you agree? If you have any worries or scruples, just tell us and we will discuss them. My grandson can convince you." Mr. Chu said: "Xiao Liu, although the prince has only been in charge of the country for a short time, he has already been in charge of the country for a long time.
He began to participate in military affairs, and later established a small court in the East Palace. There was no conflict with the courtiers in the court, and he established authority and virtuousness to intimidate the courtiers in the court.
You can rest assured.”
"Yes, it's okay, it's okay!" Xiaoyao Gong also agreed. Although he didn't weigh the pros and cons, Chu Xiaowu had analyzed that Chu Xiaowu's calculations rarely made mistakes. Whatever he said, just agree with him.
Already.
"I'm not worried about the prince, I have other concerns." The Supreme Emperor held his cheek and frowned as if he had a toothache.
"What are you worried about?" All three people looked at him and asked.
The Supreme Emperor raised his head and glanced at the three of them, sighing, "Gu is the Supreme Emperor now, so once the fifth son abdicates and the crown prince ascends the throne, then what is Gu?"
Xiaoyao Gong and Yu Wenhao looked at each other, with a clear and innocent look in their eyes, and then looked at Mr. Chu together. They had to ask Mr. Chu about this matter.
Mr. Chu smiled and said: "Worrying about this? What's there to worry about? It's either the ancestors or the old immortals."
"I'm serious to you, I've done my job well as the Supreme Emperor, but I don't want to give it up to that stupid son." Mr. Chu patted his shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Lao Wu didn't really abdicate, he was just taking advantage of his illness.
Rest and train the prince. Even if he really abdicates, it's understandable. Why don't you just become the supreme emperor? Do you want to?
You know that there was only one Supreme Emperor in history, and that person only served as the Supreme Emperor for four days. How amazing is it that you can not only be the Supreme Emperor, but also the Supreme Emperor?"
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he immediately beamed and said, "Supreme Emperor, that's good, not bad. Lao Wu, you can retreat if you want. If I disappear in a few years, I won't be able to be the Supreme Emperor."
"What are you talking about? You live longer than Nanshan, and your grandson will not abdicate. You will just take a leave of absence without pay, and accompany Lao Yuan on both sides, so that she can stay there longer. After all, she has to repay the favor of having children."
"You are right. You are not such an ignorant old man. Just do what you want to do. Your father should also explain to you that he has a small mind and a small view, and his vision is not as broad as ours.
."
Yu Wenhao said: "My grandson knows and will go to Meizhuang tomorrow."
Yu Wenhao went to Meizhuang with Yuan Qingling. Yuan Qingling may not have gone to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor for a long time.
Lao Ming still liked his daughter-in-law very much. He was happier to see her than to see his son.
Lao Yuan and Concubine Hu went hiking together, leaving the father and son to talk.
The Supreme Emperor was right, but Lao Ming didn't quite understand. He thought that Lao Wu was doing a good job as emperor now, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and the Northern Tang Dynasty had sustained development, so he shouldn't retire at this time.
Yu Wenhao told him that when a country develops to a certain level, it needs to change to move to the next level.
He has been on the throne for a long time, and he always wants to seek stability and is afraid of any trouble. However, inaction cannot break through the current bottleneck, and new blood is needed.
He is the emperor, and when he has such an idea, the courtiers below him will gradually follow his lead and stick to it without innovating.
Lao Ming thought there was nothing wrong with stability. Stability meant nothing happened and the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Lao Wu told him that the country was peaceful and the people were safe. It was only reported by local officials and looked at the overall situation, but the people were individuals. In addition to food and clothing, they should also have
