Meng Yinxun had already laid out an imperial edict to give up his throne.
The contents of the imperial edict have already been written down, and it doesn't look like a last-minute thought.
In short, except that the jade seal has not yet been stamped, everything else has been taken care of.
And his and the queen's son, who had been doted on by him since childhood, was looking at him with a dignified expression.
"My father is not very healthy now. If you can go to the garden behind Cangpu Temple to recuperate, you may be able to live for a few more decades, see your grandsons grow up, and be with the emperor."
Grandma fulfills her filial piety, so why not?"
"Although my son is still young, didn't my father sit on the throne when he was still a teenager? Then he took advantage of his youth and energy to manage the Great Zhao Kingdom in such an orderly manner..."
"Don't worry, I didn't disturb my mother and the imperial grandmother. They were just protected by my people and are safe and sound!"
"But the news here may not be hidden for too long. If my father makes a decision earlier, he can go to comfort them in person!"
Meng Yinxun gritted his teeth.
Although he is in his early forties this year, he is not too old and too dim to handle government affairs.
Although he would usually be lazy and leave government affairs to the regent, he and Meng Yinqin discussed and decided many major issues together.
Meng Yinqin fully respects his leadership, so he will listen to Meng Yinqin's suggestions on many things.
The rapid development and restoration of people's livelihood after the war that nearly destroyed the country twenty years ago was all supported by him and Meng Yinqin.
But now, Xun Yilong, a rebellious son, actually thinks that at the age of sixteen, he can take care of the country that he and the regent have built?
"What a joke!"
Meng Yinxun slowly raised his head and squinted at his son, whom he had loved for more than ten years.
"Long'er, on what basis do you think you can inherit my country?"
"Do you know why our country, Great Zhao, is the most difficult country to govern on this continent?"
Xun Yilong rolled his eyes: "Is it difficult to govern because some of my father's decisions are not decisive enough and the changes in the DPRK are not thorough enough?"
He turned around and pointed at the person behind him: "Isn't it enough for my son to have these?"
"The courtiers that I have attracted over the years, the soldiers and horses that I have secretly raised, and even the people in the world who have secretly solved all the deployments of the fourth prince on my behalf, aren't these all my abilities?"
"When the time comes for agricultural reforms and new water conservancy projects, I will pay more attention to people's livelihood and personally maintain the management of the borders of all parties..."
Meng Yinxun squinted his eyes and suddenly said: "Well, it also includes the King of Yue and the Prime Minister of Qin, right?"
Now he suddenly figured out why the courtiers who were on his side suddenly moved closer to the prince.
Except for Prime Minister Qin who is under house arrest, no one in the DPRK can do this now.
As for Prime Minister Qin, who was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, he might have woken up long ago.
Then Qin Jiaoyue, who stayed with the queen, was the best and most suitable communication bridge between Qin Xiang and the prince!
After all, it was him who put the dangers around him one by one?
If I think about it more carefully, I am afraid that the rebellions in the northern and northwest regions are all just a show of force by the kings of Yue and Liang.
The purpose is to deceive Meng Yinqin out of the imperial capital!
Who could have expected that Xun Yilong would suddenly get mixed up with Qin Xiang?
And that King Yue was willing to support him was something Meng Yinxun never expected.
So although he arranged for the fourth prince to investigate secretly, no matter how smart and alert Xunsi Ge was, how could he outplay the two old foxes?
