Chapter 870: Seizing power and hurting people
The words "prolonging life and longevity" may not have been so tempting to Yu Wenyuan a few years ago, but since he ascended the throne, the feeling of having great power has indeed become more and more intense. Obsessed, emperors of all dynasties hoped to keep this feeling going forever, which is why so many emperors sought immortality and even traveled overseas to seek elixir of death.
Yu Wenyuan didn’t think much about the elixir, but he could think about extending his life.
What's more, after the Battle of Longmendu, one of the two princes died and the other was injured, especially Dong Bizheng, who had been with him when he was a boy. The departure of this kind of relatives and friends will make people feel even more. The impermanence and fragility of life make us want our years to last even more.
He murmured: "Prolong life..."
Yu Wenzuo continued: "Since my father came to the throne, I have been burning ointment and working hard day and night. Although the country is the most important, my father's dragon body is equally important."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down. Yu Mingyue who was beside him also said: "Yes, father, the prince is often worried about his father's health." Dragon body, that’s why I pay special attention to the new spring in Tangquan Palace.” After saying this, Yu Wenyuan was also really moved, so he said: “I don’t want to take a rest and take good care of myself.”< br>
Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi on the other side looked at each other.
Before coming here, the two of them had made an estimate in their minds. The prince and the princess were too quiet these days, and they were too at peace with each other, so they expected what the other party might say at this family banquet. What to do, and when necessary, the two of them will naturally have to deal with it.
However, asking Yu Wenyuan to go to Tangquan Palace to rest and recuperate - although they have been vaguely aware of each other's purpose, Yu Wen's words are reasonable and every word is related to love, especially the mention of Yu Wenyuan's dragon body, which is really uncomfortable. be opposed to.
Just when the two of them were hesitant, Yu Wenyuan said: "Father, how about temporarily putting aside government affairs and going to Tangquan Palace to recuperate for a few days?"
Yu Wenyuan took a deep breath. .
Although he was tempted, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he thought about it again and then frowned and said: "If I go to Tangquan Palace to recuperate, who should I leave the government affairs to?"
< br>As soon as the words fell, the entire Liangyi Palace immediately fell silent.
Shang Ruyi's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly, but she still calmly picked some dishes and put them on Yu Wenye's plate, and both of them remained silent.
Yu Wenzui seemed to have expected this question, so he smiled and said: "Tangquan Palace is not far from the imperial city. It can be reached in half a day on horseback. If there is anything, the news can be passed immediately. Father, don’t worry.”< br>
Yu Wenyuan said: “But there still has to be someone who can take charge of everything.”
As he spoke, his eyes had moved from the prince’s face to the face of the King of Qin, and then from the face of the King of Qin. Move back up to the prince's face.
Obviously the choice has already begun in my mind.
Yu Wenye suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, my father should also go and rest. Fortunately, there are many important ministers who can be entrusted to the court."
When he heard him say "important ministers", Yu Wenyuan also nodded.
In fact, when the emperor goes out to tour the palace, there are rules in all dynasties. The government affairs left in the court must be handed over to others, that is, to oversee the country. The candidates are either close ministers in the court or senior officials. A capable and prestigious prince. The capable and trustworthy ministers around Yu Wenyuan were those who supported him when he ascended the throne.
Shang Shu’s servant shot Shen Shiyan, or the internal historian ordered Pei Shi...
Just as these people were flashing through his mind, Yu Wen smiled and said: "It wouldn't be interesting for my father to travel alone. He might as well find some old friends to accompany him. Speaking of which, there are several ministers in the court who are about the same age. They are not young anymore. If you can give them hot springs, it will reward these meritorious ministers and show your father's great kindness."
After hearing this, Yu Wenyuan's face changed slightly. Congeal.
Yu Wenzhen’s words are naturally reasonable, but what he is thinking of is Duke Shenwu, who is close to him in age and was once the closest to him. Unfortunately, people cannot be resurrected after death, and no matter how great the emperor’s kindness is, he will not be able to survive. It's not on him anymore.
Thinking of this, the bit of sadness in my heart turned into regret, and overflowed with tenderness. He sighed softly, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Let's do this. I will visit Tangquan Palace in three days and ask Duke Wushan, Shangshu Pushe, and Neishiling. Also, I will call that old man Ji Hong. Right. How old are these people? Now that they are old, let them bring their relatives and come with me to enjoy the blessings."
Yu Mingyue stood up in a hurry, bowed to Yu Wenyuan and said, "My father, thank you for your kindness!"
Yu Wenyuan waved his hand: "Get up quickly."
Seeing her bowing down, Shang Ruyi had no choice but to stand up and say: "My son, I also thank my father for his kindness."
< br>After saying that, she looked at Yu Wenyuan hesitantly: "It's just——"
At this time, she was completely Understanding the significance of Yu Wenzhen's move, he asked Yu Wenyuan to visit Xingtangquan Palace for a few days. Although it was not far away, any news could be passed on at any time, but the court still needed someone to supervise the country, and the candidates were nothing more than important ministers and princes. , but Yu Wenzu asked the emperor to bring several older ministers with him, so that all the candidates for the ministers would be empty.
The only ones we can trust anymore are him and Yu Wenye!
As for the prince and the king of Qin, there is almost no need to choose. After all, the prince will inherit the throne in the future. Letting him supervise the country at this time is the first step for all princes to take over the imperial power. With this step, Yu Wenye will no longer be in trouble. He fought against him in court.
So, Shen Wuzheng's guess was right. He was neither guilty of seizing power nor hurting others!
Although Shang Ruyi intuitively wanted to refuse this gift for Shen Shiyan, as long as Shen Shiyan stayed, the responsibility of supervising the country would most likely fall on him, but when he spoke, he could not say exit.
After all, this is a gift from the emperor, and you can feel it by looking at his expression. This is not a gift between the king and his ministers, but a pity between the elders.
If they really refuse, it will not only make Yu Wenyuan sad, but also make him wary of what they want to do!
But Yu Wenyuan had already heard her last two words: "But what?"
Shang Ruyi suddenly panicked. Although the cold wind was howling outside, her back was covered with cold sweat and was almost soaked. Close-fitting clothing. Suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she said in a deep voice: "However, so many people are going to Tangquan Palace all of a sudden, and the renovation has just been completed there. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, but it will defeat my father's interest."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and glanced at Yu Wenye.
Yu Wenye immediately said: "Yes, in my opinion, someone who is familiar with Tangquan Palace must accompany you to make arrangements, so that everything can be done properly and live up to your father's interest."
< br>As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wensu across from him: "Brother and sister-in-law just said that when you went to Huashan, you stopped at Tangquan Palace, so you must be very familiar with it."< br>
