He has been the prince of Shu for many years and is already familiar with the government affairs of the court. In addition, he has been taught by famous teachers such as Li Ru, Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, etc., so he has the appearance of a wise king.
After Wang Zhen entered, he didn't ask any questions, he just stood quietly.
Not long after, when he saw Cheng Yu, Li Ru, Tian Feng and other important officials of the imperial court entering one by one, he knew that something big must have happened.
Except for the Great Court Meeting, it is rare for Shu State to call all the officials from the six ministries like this.
Wang Can looked at the important ministers in the court and nodded to Pang Tong. Pang Tong immediately told Wang Can about his decision to prepare for the Zen position. Before Pang Tong finished speaking, as soon as Pang Tong mentioned the Zen position, the hall was already buzzing with discussion.
Every official was extremely shocked.
At such a young age, Wang Can actually wanted to take the Zen position.
This is the first of its kind.
If we say that there were many short-lived emperors in history, a lot of them died younger than Wang Can. Even emperors who took the Zen position existed, but as young as Wang Can and who voluntarily took the Zen position, then
It is simply rare in ancient and modern times.
Wang Zhen stood up first, lifted up his robe and knelt down, saying: "Father, my son is still young and lacks the ability and experience to handle government affairs. Please take back the order."
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Cheng Yu was the first to stand up and speak. He now has a big beard and white hair and beard, but he is in good spirits.
As Cheng Yu came out, everyone spoke out to object.
With Wang Can as emperor, everyone feels at ease.
After all, whether it is political ability, trust in subordinates, or Wang Can's martial arts, they are all top-notch. With Wang Can in charge, everyone can rest assured.
Wang Can looked at the frightened expressions of each of them, but smiled softly.
"Everyone get up!"
Wang Can waved his hand and gave an order.
Everyone stood up together and stood aside.
Wang Can continued: "Mr. Zhongde, you know me best, and like Fengxiao, you were the first to follow me. You should know that although I have conquered such a huge territory, in fact, I often charge into battle and often ignore
In the rear, I will leave all the government affairs in the rear to you."
"Thanks to your concerted efforts and sincere cooperation in the rear area, we have stabilized the rear area."
"That way, I don't have anything to worry about."
"If you think about it carefully, I, as an emperor, am not very qualified. I rarely stay in the palace and have little time to deal with the government affairs of the court. I am really unqualified."
Wang Can said: "That's it. I just gave the Zen throne to Zhen'er and let him succeed. You have watched Zhen'er grow up. He has a pure nature, is talented and intelligent, and is familiar with government affairs. He is capable of doing the job."
Cheng Yu said: "But even so, I'm afraid that if the news of His Majesty's abdication is spread, it will easily cause turmoil in the government and the public."
Wang Can said: "Can this kind of thing make it difficult for Duke Gungun to live?"
Cheng Yu suddenly became speechless.
If Wang Can said this, he really had no words to refute.
Immediately, Wang Can continued: "Actually, although the Zen position can only be given to Zhen'er, I am not retreating or staying in the harem, but going deep into the enemy's territory to carry out operations. Just like this time, I will destroy
Like Liu Bang, I also plan to sneak into the territory of the Tang Dynasty to support the army to attack the Tang Dynasty."
This is Wang Can’s nature.
He doesn't like the loneliness of being in the ninth heaven.
He likes the bloodshed and excitement of the battlefield, and he likes to fight side by side with his comrades.
This is a characteristic of his military background.
Countless times, he had taken the lead, but as an emperor, he couldn't take the lead. Wang Can knew this clearly, but insisted on doing it because he didn't want to stay behind.
Therefore, Wang Can chose the Zen position.
In this way, there will be a king in the country, and everything will go on smoothly.
The most important thing is that even though Wang Can is the Supreme Emperor, and although he has resigned as emperor, Wang Can still affects the operation of Shu with his prestige and strength, and he is still the ruler of Shu.
However, Wang Can will not interfere too much.
Everyone fell silent when they heard Wang Can's words.
They also knew that what Wang Can said was reasonable, but it was a bit unexpected for the king of a country to suddenly abdicate.
Wang Can flicked his sleeves and said decisively: "Okay, it's settled."
"Here!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Wang Can waved his hand and said: "Zhen'er stays, and everyone else should step back."
"Here!"
Cheng Yu and others left together.
After everyone left, Wang Can looked at Wang Zhen below and said, "Zhen'er, you have grown up gradually. I will let you inherit the throne. Do you have the confidence to govern Shu well?"
Wang Zhen said: "Father, please rest assured that I will live up to my father's trust."
"good!"
Wang Can said with a smile: "It is necessary to have such momentum. In today's world, there are many heroes vying for supremacy, hundreds of schools of thought vying for supremacy, and kings of various countries quarreling. It is not an easy task to unify the world. I hope that my son can be proud of all the heroes."
Wang Zhen said: "My father's instructions will definitely be remembered by my sons and ministers."
Wang Can said some more words to Wang Can, then asked Wang Zhen to step aside, while he went to the harem to visit Diao Chan, Cai Yan and other daughters.
There are not many concubines in Wang Can's harem.
There are not many, so the competition for favor is not fierce, and everyone is quite harmonious.
After Wang Can arrived, he spent time with the girls and rarely relaxed.
After Wang Can rested for two days, Cheng Yu and others also made arrangements for the Zen position.
January 18th is an auspicious day.
On this day, Wang Can gave the Zen throne to Wang Zhen and supported Wang Zhen as emperor. Although Wang Zhen became the emperor of Shu, the ministers in the court did not change much, and the government remained the same.
After all, Cheng Yu and others stabilized the situation.
After Wang Can's busy day, everything was handed over in full force.
After Wang Zhen became the emperor, although he was an emperor, he also arranged for court officials to make a copy of all memorials sent to him and forward them to Wang Can to show his respect for Wang Can.
.
Wang Can is nothing.
He was not King Wuling of Zhao during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had clearly given the Zen throne to his son, but he was unwilling to lose his power gradually. He supported another son to compete with King Zhao Huiwen for power, and was eventually starved to death in the palace by King Zhao Huiwen.
Furthermore, Wang Can only has a suitable son like Wang Zhen.
The rest are inappropriate.
So there is no fight for power.
Especially Wang Can can think clearly, and he has no greed for power.
After Wang Zhen ascended the throne, Wang Zhen was very busy, but Wang Can was free. However, after he was idle for more than half a month, he stopped being idle and sent someone to invite Pang Tong.
Pang Tong entered the palace, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Pang Tong, pays homage to the Supreme Emperor."
Wang Can said: "Shi Yuan does not need to be polite."
Pang Tong said: "The Emperor has summoned you. Are you ready to go south to Xiangyang?"
"yes"
Wang Can nodded and said: "Besides you, who else do you think we need to take with us when we go south this time?"
Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said: "According to Chen's suggestion, at least bring Shan Xiongxin with you. After all, when the Supreme Emperor recruited Shan Xiongxin, he had promised to avenge Shan Xiongxin."
"Now that the Supreme Emperor is going south, we must take him with us."
"In addition, I would like to suggest that you bring Dian Wei, Han Xin and Luo Cheng with you. Dian Wei can protect the safety of the Supreme Emperor, and Han Xin and Luo Cheng have outstanding abilities and superb martial arts, so they can assist each other."
Pang Tong said: "Please let the Supreme Emperor consider your suggestion."
After Wang Can thought about it for a while, he also said: "Okay, I'll do it according to your arrangement."
"Here!"
Pang Tong agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.
In early February, Wang Can led Pang Tong, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Cheng and Han Xin on a carriage ride south.
Spring has begun now, and although the spring is cold, it is not too cold.
When Wang Can went south, the news of his Zen throne spread throughout the countries first, and Li Shimin in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, also got the news first.
After Li Shimin learned about it, he laughed three times, laughing at Wang Can for being self-righteous and deceiving himself.
Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji below and said: "Wuji, Wang Can gave the Zen throne to his son at such a young age. Is he trying to imitate King Zhao Wuling, ignore government affairs, and then concentrate on attacking cities and plundering territory?
"
Changsun Wuji chuckled and said: "Wang Can thinks simply. He has removed his power now. After a period of time, the power in his hands gradually disappears and he will regret it. A man cannot lose his power for a day.
power, he will conflict with his own son."
"Even though this is not Wang Can's original intention."
"But this is the reality."
"The ministers who originally surrounded Wang Can gradually began to surround Wang Zhen, and the power was transferred to Wang Zhen. In the end, Wang Can will not be able to bear it."
Changsun Wuji looked expectantly and said: "Wang Can has always been wise and powerful, but I didn't expect that this time, he took a blind step. He thought he was right, and this time he stepped into a pit of fire."
"Of course!"
Li Shimin also answered happily.
Changsun Wuji changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received the news that everything is going well in Jiaozhou. Our army has quickly attacked the city and captured the territory. At the current speed, it will take at most three months to complete the battle.
Capture the entire Jiaozhou."
Li Shimin said: "It is very important to attack the city, but we must not forget to manage it. It is easy to attack the city, but it is not easy to govern the place. Send an order to the people on the front line and ask them to ensure the safety of the rear."
"I understand!"
Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement.
"Tap! Tread!"
A burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the palace.
A chamberlain quickly entered. He entered the palace, bowed respectfully to Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the Kingdom of Shu."
After Li Shimin took it, he looked at it quickly and his expression became solemn.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The letter said that after Wang Can gave the throne to Wang Zhen, the army of Shu began to mobilize frequently. Now at the border between Shu and Li and Tang Dynasty, the number of troops stationed by Shu has exceeded 50,000.
They might attack us."
Changsun Wuji also looked solemn.
At this time, Li Tang's focus was on Jiaozhou. Once a war started with Shu, it would be detrimental to Shu.
Li Shimin did not waste any time and quickly arranged for someone to notify Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to come to the palace to discuss countermeasures. (To be continued)
