Tang Yin hurriedly pulled Shangguan Yuanji up and said with a wry smile: "Yuanji, look what you are doing."
Looking at the grey-bearded Shangguan Yuanji, Tang Yin was filled with emotions.
When he first met Shangguan Yuanji, he was in his prime, in his early thirties, and in his prime. Over twenty years later, Shangguan Yuanji had also transformed from the noble young man with a feather fan and scarf into a white-haired man.
The pale old man.
He sighed: "Yuanji, you should know that the life of a king is not what I want. For so many years, I have been enduring it, gritting my teeth and enduring it. After all, Feng Country does not belong to me alone. I have to support it."
Fengguo is my responsibility. Now that Yu'er has grown up, with the help of his mother and so many ministers in the court, he is fully able to support this country. Now, it is time for me to leave and go to my
The life I really want to live!”
Shangguan Yuanji burst into tears when he heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen... Wei Chen can't bear to leave the king..."
Tang Yin's eyes turned red and he sighed: "I can't bear to leave you old brothers. Old brothers, if I have a chance, I will come back to visit you."
"Your Majesty..." At this time, Shangguan Yuanji no longer cared about the difference between monarch and minister. He pulled Tang Yin's arm and couldn't help but burst into tears. After decades of getting along day and night, they have been mutually supportive. They are called monarchs and ministers, but they are actually brothers. Shangguan Yuanji is
I really can’t let go of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin almost shed tears when he cried. He sniffed hard and forced a smile: "Yuanji, you should be happy for me. I can finally be free, I can finally..." At this point, Tang Yin
He was also choked with sobs and couldn't speak anymore.
People can't help themselves in the world, especially when sitting in the position of king. Now, he can finally let go of everything and pursue what he really wants. How difficult this is.
After being silent for a long time, Tang Yin adjusted his emotions and said, "Yuanji, what will you do after I leave?"
Shangguan Yuanji raised his head and looked at Tang Yin in confusion.
The latter pulled him to sit down and said: "As long as I am here, even if you offend everyone in the Feng Kingdom, no one will dare to touch you. However, when I am gone, the ministers in the court, Xiang'er
, even Yu'er, will they... still tolerate you?"
This was what Tang Yin was most worried about. He could even foresee what would happen to Shangguan Yuanji in the near future after he left.
Shangguan Yuanji wiped the tears on his face and asked: "What does the king think of the humble ministers?"
"Resign! Yuanji, over the years, you have accumulated a lot of savings. Even if you resign, it will be enough to feed and clothe your descendants. In addition, I can also give you a fief..."
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said: "The humble minister can resign and return to his hometown, but can the emperor resign and return to his hometown? I'm afraid that if the humble minister is not in the court, the ministers will unscrupulously persuade him to come in."
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said quietly: "Yuanji, you can't even save your own life, and you still want to protect the emperor?"
Shangguan Yuanji let out a long sigh and said: "Weak ministers also do their best and obey the destiny!"
Tang Yin took a deep look at Shangguan Yuanji and said: "You have your own ideas, but I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit. You assist me and govern Feng Kingdom for a lifetime, and you can't die a good death. Tomorrow, I will be there
I will announce in the morning that you will be dismissed from the post of right minister. In addition, I have selected a piece of land in Nanping County, Andi, as your fiefdom. It is very rich there, and even the rent every year is enough for you to spend."
Shangguan Yuanji's eyes were scarlet, tears fell again, and he said in a trembling voice: "Before leaving, the king was always thinking about the ministers, the ministers... the ministers..." At this point, he broke down in tears.
Tang Yin sighed: "Before I leave, the one I worry about the most is you! Qiu Zhen and Zong Yuan are both good at dealing with the world, and their ideas are also the mainstream ideas of the imperial court. Mu Qing and Liang Qi are all generals in the army, even if
You are not good at dealing with the world, but as long as you don't cause big trouble, no one can touch them. You are the only one who has lost your foundation in the court. No minister is of the same mind as you. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid no one can say anything to you.
There is no one who can say a word to you. If you are left in the court, I will not be able to feel at ease even if I leave."
"The king has shown great kindness to me, and I have nothing to repay in this life. I can only wait for the next life to be a cow or a horse to repay the king!" Shangguan Yuanji stood up tremblingly, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed forward.
.
Tang Yin looked up and said with emotion: "I really miss the days when I was fighting everywhere!"
At that time, there were no such worries, even people's hearts were clean, everyone had only one goal, everyone's efforts would be concentrated together, and they would work hard in the same direction. Even if there were occasional differences, the fundamental stance was the same.
of.
But now, the world is at peace, and people's hearts seem to have changed. They only think about seeking personal gain for themselves, and they follow the crowd one by one. The feeling of digging into each other's hearts and souls in the past can never be regained.
Tang Yin stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, forced a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, it's time for me to return to the palace, Yuanji, I will visit you."
"Weak minister... I send you my best wishes..." Shangguan Yuanji, who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowed again, with his head on the ground and did not raise it for a long time.
In July of the 20th year of Feng Li, Feng King Tang Yin announced in court that Shangguan Yuanji would be dismissed from all official positions, but his title would be retained, and a large piece of fertile land in Nanping County, Andi would be given to Shangguan Yuanji.
Shangguan Yuanji, the last right-hand prime minister of Feng Dukedom, withdrew from the stage of history with this ending. During the twenty years he served as prime minister, he made Feng State rich and powerful, and the people from all over the country integrated with each other, lived richly, and lived and worked in peace and contentment. More importantly,
Yes, he allowed the weak Yin Dynasty to survive for more than ten years. Shangguan Yuanji's life was a life full of achievements. Even if he was criticized by later generations for being too pedantic and obstructed the establishment of the Feng Empire for more than ten years, he could not
Obliterate his contribution to Feng Country.
His final ending seemed unfortunate and unfair, but in fact it was his great luck. After being incompatible with the mainstream consciousness of Feng Country for more than ten years, it was a miracle that he was able to die a good death in the end.
Two months after Shangguan Yuanji was dismissed from office, the Feng King Tang Yin suddenly disappeared mysteriously, leaving only a posthumous edict stating that the eldest son Tang Yu would inherit the Feng throne.
The disappearance of the monarch caused a great uproar in the Feng Kingdom. Almost all the manpower of the court was used to search, but after three months, nothing was found.
If Tang Yin deliberately doesn't want you to find him, even if everyone in the world looks for him, they won't find any trace of him.
Three months later, Feng Kingdom finally gave up the search for Tang Yin. Tang Yu, who was just thirteen years old at the time, officially inherited the throne and ascended to the throne of Feng King.
After Tang Yu became king, he followed the ancient law and granted amnesty to the world. Tang Yin himself failed to implement the constitutional monarchy. He wrote a book about his understanding of the constitutional monarchy and passed it on to Tang Yu, hoping that he could complete this goal on his behalf.
Tang Yu had read the concept of a constitutional monarchy he proposed, and had read it several times. He could remember every sentence or even every word. However, he did not take it seriously, and did not take the constitutional monarchy written by Tang Yin into consideration.
Put it in the library and press it on the bottom of the box.
In the twenty-fifth year of Fengli, the Feng King Tang Yu was eighteen years old. The ministers of the Feng Kingdom collectively admonished Tang Yu, asking him to replace the current emperor Yin Zhun and establish the Feng Dynasty that would "carry out the will of heaven and obey the people's will."
Tang Yu did not agree. Firstly, the late king Tang Yin had always refused to ascend the throne. As a human son, he should inherit his father's wish. Secondly, and most importantly, the ministers only persuaded him to come forward, but did not put forward a specific plan.
How should he replace Yin Zhun and go directly to kill the king? He didn't want to do such a rebellious thing, nor did he want to bear such an infamy.
Among the ministers in the court now, the one who knows Tang Yu best is his ‘mentor’ Zhang Xin.
Didn't Tang Yu have any intention of replacing Yin Zhun on the throne? He probably even dreamed about why he didn't agree to the collective advice of the ministers to join him. I'm afraid it was because he hadn't figured out how to deal with Yin Zhun yet.
Zhang Xin and other ministers made a plan. They could not blindly go to the king to persuade him to join. They should change their tactics and go to the imperial palace with Yin Zhun instead. Ask Yin Zhun to voluntarily give up the throne, imitate the holy king of Shenchi, and cede his place to the virtuous.
Cheese.
Under Zhang Xin's suggestion, the ministers of the Feng Kingdom began to plot to invade Yin Zhun's palace.
At the end of the same year, the ministers of the Feng Kingdom led by Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin led the Feng Army and surrounded the palace. Then, surrounded by soldiers, the ministers of the Feng Kingdom rushed directly into the palace to meet Yin Zhun and rape him.
Write a Zen edict.
Yin Zhun burst into tears on the spot. In fact, he had a premonition that such a day would come to him as early as when Shangguan Yuanji was dismissed from office. He just did not expect that Tang Yin would disappear mysteriously and that he, the emperor, would be lucky enough to stay in office for more than five years.
Now, Tang Yu, whose throne was firmly established, finally couldn't bear it any longer and was about to attack himself.
Yin Zhun had to write this Zen edict whether he wanted to or not. Surrounding him were Fengjun Jiawei, each of them murderous and with their swords drawn, blowing their beards and glaring at him, as if he dared not
After writing this edict, they will immediately pounce on him and cut him into pieces.
With tears in his eyes, Yin Zhun, the puppet emperor, wrote the imperial edict to abdicate the throne to Feng Wang Tang Yu.
After receiving the edict of Emperor Yin Zhun's Zen throne, Qiu Zhen, Zhang Xin and other ministers were all overjoyed. People ran all the way to the Feng Palace to see Tang Yu and invite him to join the throne of Emperor.
Tang Yu was also startled when he saw the edict on Zen status written by Yin Zhun himself. He held the edict in his hands and read it several times from beginning to end. Then he fell into deep thought and could not recover for a long time.
His face was expressionless and his eyes were straight. People thought he was stunned, but in fact he was excited. With this edict, his identity was no longer the Wind King, but the majestic Ninth Five Supreme Being.
The sedan chair of Heaven is the supreme emperor.
I don’t know how long it took, but he let out a long sigh. The ministers present looked at each other. Why did the king still sigh after such a happy event?
They didn't know that Tang Yu was not sighing for himself, but for his father. He could obviously be the emperor, so why didn't he do it? What's wrong with being the emperor?
Just when the ministers were in a state of confusion, Tang Yu slowly spoke and said: "The destiny of heaven cannot be violated! Since the emperor has decided to meditate on me, I... can only obey the will of heaven."
The ministers looked at each other and paused for a moment. Qiu Zhen and Zhang Xin took the lead in kneeling down, kowtowing forward, and said: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
As they shouted His Majesty's voice, the rest of the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "I will pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Looking at the ministers who were kneeling below, Tang Yu's blood was surging, and a smile finally appeared on his face. Even the ecstasy of becoming emperor did not make his words tremble at all. He said slowly: "Everyone
Just wait and follow me into the palace to pay my respects to the emperor!"
