Chapter 587: The Zen position is given to the prince
"Actually, what he did was right."
Zhan Doudou can understand Su Mingzhe's approach.
After all, the eldest prince was born to the queen, so he was the unquestionable heir to the throne.
This may avoid all kinds of overt and covert fights for the throne.
Only if the throne can be passed on smoothly, the Qing Kingdom's national destiny can continue to be extended.
If Zhan Doudou had the ability to make a woman pregnant, she would do the same.
"Sure enough, those who become emperors are all cold-blooded animals."
Haitang Duoduo also didn't expect that Zhan Doudou would actually help Su Mingzhe explain, and her eyes could not help but contain contempt.
Then changing the topic, Haitang Duoduo asked Zhan Doudou how he was doing after two years of separation.
Faced with Haitang Duoduo's concern, Zhan Doudou just smiled flatly.
When she was in Northern Qi, she was a puppet emperor.
The empress dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty had always been in charge of major political affairs in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Even the various "struggles for power" between the young emperor and the empress dowager in front of outsiders were all led by the empress dowager.
As the young emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Zhan Doudou's daily tasks, apart from studying, were to spend his days reading some idle books.
Of course, I occasionally practice martial arts to keep fit, but because of my talent and age, I don't have very high achievements.
"Auntie, what about you? I heard that you were imprisoned by Qingren for a year before you were released."
"I'm fine, too. During that year, the Qing people just imprisoned me, my master, and my senior brother in the prison dungeon. Apart from not being able to move freely, everything else was fine."
As Haitang Duoduo spoke, she suddenly remembered something and apologized to Zhan Doudou:
"Your Majesty, after I entered the palace last year, I originally wanted to continue assassinating the emperor. Who would have expected that the new emperor of Qing Kingdom is also a great master..."
"The new emperor of Qing is also a grand master?"
Zhan Doudou was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
I really think that the great master is a cabbage.
The Northern Qi Dynasty has worked hard for so many years, and it is just a hard work for a national teacher.
Now tell me, the two emperors of Qing Kingdom were both great masters. Is the martial arts of Qing Kingdom really so prosperous?
At this time, someone from the palace came to report that Concubine Chen came to visit.
Zhan Doudou hid his surprise, put on a calm and calm look again, and came to the palace gate to greet his sister.
When they were in Northern Qi, the young emperor of Northern Qi and the eldest princess of Northern Qi got along quite well.
Unfortunately, the Queen Mother of the Northern Qi Dynasty was extremely guarded against the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, which led to many misunderstandings between the two parties.
Now, when the two sisters meet again in a foreign country, the gap between them has not only not diminished, but has become even greater.
Don't mention the concubines in the harem.
Since the pacification of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Kingdom also had disagreements about the future direction of the country's governance.
What Su Mingzhe thought was that everyone would work together to defeat Xihu, Beirong, Nanman, and other overseas countries one by one.
However, most of the martial arts heroes want to rest on their merits, live out their lives, and pass on their wealth and honor to the next generation.
What most civil servants thought was that the emperor could rely on military generals to bring peace to the world immediately, but he could not rule the world immediately. As a civil servant, he himself could make great achievements soon.
Occasionally, there are some unwilling warriors who want to continue fighting and gain some merit for future generations, but these people are also a minority.
As the emperor, when the entire court began to resist the continuation of the war, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to choose to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood first.
Thirty years have passed in a flash.
Northern Qi is already a historical term for young people.
Only some old people still remember the former ‘Nanqing’, ‘Northern Qi’ and ‘Dongyi’.
In the palace, the Empress Dowager died long ago.
The Queen Mother is also getting old.
‘Emperor Qing’ and ‘Master Ku He’ have not returned from the temple for almost ten years.
Su Mingzhe stayed at Yaohua Palace that day and discussed something with the queen.
"Ruoruo, have you heard a rumor in Kyoto City recently?"
"What rumors?"
Although Su Mingzhe asked Fan Ruoruo to be in charge of the internal prison department and the internal treasury, in fact, Fan Ruoruo had already handed over these two institutions to his son, the current prince.
Seeing that she really didn't know, Su Mingzhe smiled and explained to her:
"Recently there is a saying circulating in Kyoto, 'How can there be a prince in the world who has lived for thirty years'..."
Fan Ruoruo's many years of palace fighting experience made her instantly aware of the sinister intention of this message, and she quickly said to her man:
"Your Majesty, these words are extremely treasonous. They must have been spread by people with ulterior motives, hoping to drive a wedge between the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Your Majesty, you cannot believe it."
"Don't worry, I'm not so big-hearted that I can't even tolerate my own son."
Su Mingzhe put his arm around Fan Ruoruo's shoulders and comforted her:
"Ruoruo, you and I have been married for thirty years, and you still don't know who I am? That's what I think. The prince has been supervising the country for fifteen years. Especially in the past few years, I haven't paid much attention to state affairs, and the prince has not paid much attention to the affairs of the country.
To keep the politics of this dynasty in order. I just thought that I might as well follow my father’s example and abdicate directly, and live happily for a few years.”
Fan Ruoruo couldn't guess for a moment whether Su Mingzhe's words were true or false.
She could only continue to persuade:
"Your Majesty, the important ministers in the court are all arrogant and arrogant. I'm afraid the prince cannot bear this heavy responsibility."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just abdicating the throne. I'm not leaving Qingguo and letting go."
Su Mingzhe made up his mind and asked Fan Ruoruo to tell the prince in advance so that he could prepare first.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe was enjoying singing and dancing in the imperial garden when someone from the palace came to report that the prince came to pay his respects.
"Everyone, please step back."
Su Mingzhe waved away the dancer and then summoned the prince.
After the prince came of age at the age of sixteen, Su Mingzhe gave him the power to supervise the country and concurrently served as the governor of Kyoto.
Later, this boy got married and had a son, and Su Mingzhe asked him to work under his disciple Xin Qiwu.
Now, this guy has been in charge of the country for fifteen years, and his temperament is quite stable. He walks like a dragon and a tiger leaping, and his weapons are majestic.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"Without courtesy, come and play chess with me."
Su Mingzhe was generally quite satisfied with his impression of the prince, and felt that he could feel at ease letting him take over the Qing Kingdom.
"Yes, Father."
The prince walked into the pavilion, looking calm and calm, and started playing chess with Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe's Go skills have long surpassed those of ordinary players. There is no opponent in the entire Daqing Kingdom.
The prince is young and has little knowledge, so he is naturally no match for Su Mingzhe.
Soon, the high and low levels of the chess game were revealed.
However, facing the defeat on the chessboard, the prince just frowned and thought, instead of admitting defeat, he stubbornly continued to make moves.
Su Mingzhe didn't take it seriously and waited for the end of the game.
Only then did the prince have to surrender.
"Prince, I know that you have been proud and arrogant since you were born."
Su Mingzhe watched the prince slowly put away the chess pieces, and then he warned:
"State affairs are just like this chess game. You are one party, and the civil and military officials in the court are the other party. To be strong and insist on seeing the winner and loser in one breath is not what a superior should see. You must learn to control from the center..."
The prince naturally nodded in agreement with Su Mingzhe's teachings.
"Okay, I won't say much more. I have already asked the Qintian Supervisor to choose a good time and an auspicious day, and I have also talked with some senior scholars in the cabinet."
Su Mingzhe also arranged everything for his son before he decided to abdicate:
"As soon as my father abdicates the throne, he will take your mother and the others to live in the palace in Shangjing City. If there are no important matters, he will not come back."
When the prince heard what Su Mingzhe said, his expression changed slightly.
However, after his eyes flickered for a while, the prince just cupped his hand and said nothing to persuade him to stay.
Su Mingzhe felt a little emotional when he saw it.
My son is a bit cold-hearted.
The rumors in Kyoto were actually spread secretly by the prince himself.
The prince thought that what he was doing was very secretive, but he didn't know Su Mingzhe's methods.
Su Mingzhe also didn't want to make any jokes when meeting his son Bingfeng, so he decided to take a step back and let Fan Ruoruo, the mother-in-law, take the center stage to deliver the message.
As a result, the prince simply stopped hiding his thoughts today.
Seeing that his son is not even willing to be filial to his own father for the sake of the throne.
Su Mingzhe felt a little sad, but he didn't want to destroy him.
After all, this son was raised by himself bit by bit.
