Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother

Well, with the way this gentleman behaves, will they have time to spare in the future? Although they don't have much time to spare now!

But, the good thing is that this gentleman is not as moody as the present one. As long as things are done, there is no need to worry about him getting angry.

However, this is not a good thing, because this gentleman has high standards and will not let go of even the smallest flaw. His eyes and brain are so sharp that it seems as if he doesn't need to think. Every time their eyes meet, they wish they could lower their heads immediately, lest this gentleman opens his mouth and finds out countless faults.

Honghui naturally didn't know what was going on in the minds of these court officials, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart! Anyway, the memorial still had to go through his old father's hands, so he just took this rare opportunity to test it out.

Amid this one-sided pain and pressure, two months have passed in a flash, and it is almost August.

With two days left in August, Honghui suddenly felt a little anxious for no reason and couldn't control it, so he couldn't help but show it in front of others and behind their backs.

It was still okay for others. Those with discerning eyes just pretended not to see it. After all, Prince Zhao could adjust himself, and those without discerning eyes were even less likely to do so. Only Emperor Yongzheng asked a few questions in person.

"What's wrong? Did something happen recently? Or did you encounter any difficulties? I think you are acting a little abnormal!" The man who was usually calm and composed suddenly became uneasy, and he became nervous too.

Honghui shook his head: "No, everything is normal, but I'm not in a good mood, and I haven't cultivated my energy well enough."

Could he say that he was worried about the health of his father? After all, next month was the day when his father would die, and right after that was the day when his mother would hit her head against the wall and commit suicide. Although fate had changed, he could not suppress his nervousness and anxiety until that special day passed!

How could he tell the emperor this? He just said a few perfunctory words and then hid it better.

The eldest son was determined to conceal the truth, so Yinzhen did not force him and just let it go.

Well, it seems that the secret has not been exposed, so I feel relieved!

But, it will be soon...

……

On August 15, the 15th day of the eighth month in the 15th year of Yongzheng's reign, a Mid-Autumn family dinner was held. For the first time in history, the empress, princes, princes and grandchildren were invited to attend. Table after table was set up in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it was extremely lively.

Emperor Yongzheng's brows relaxed and he was in a good mood. He drank five or six glasses of wine in a row before the Empress and Su Peisheng persuaded him to stop.

"Your Majesty, alcohol is harmful to your health. Stop drinking in moderation to avoid hurting yourself."

"Your Majesty, you can't drink it anymore. This wine looks mellow, but it actually has a strong aftertaste..."

"Okay, okay, I don't need it... I'm in a good mood today, so I couldn't help but drink a few more cups. Here's a bowl of sobering soup!" Yinzhen was very polite and allowed Su Peisheng to replace the wine with a drink. He took the warmed sobering soup and drank a few sips. Then he watched the people in the hall drinking and having fun with a smile.

When he saw the face of his eldest son, who was very popular among his sons, the smile on his face deepened a little, and he even looked a little mysterious when he saw him from the side!

The queen glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, thought for a moment, and decisively ignored it. After all, it didn't look like a bad thing.

Then, facts told her that it was not a bad thing after all!

At the court ceremony the next day, Emperor Yongzheng announced in public that he would abdicate, catching everyone off guard again.

"It has been fifteen years since I ascended the throne. During this time, I have made achievements and made mistakes, but overall, I believe that I have lived up to the trust of the Holy Ancestor Emperor Ren! But now I am over sixty years old, my energy is declining, and my body is getting lazier. I wonder how many years I have left to live? For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the country of my ancestors, I have decided to abdicate and appoint a new emperor as soon as possible!"

Well, Your Majesty, you are only sixty years old! The last emperor abdicated at the age of seventy, and you abdicated at the age of sixty. What are you thinking?

The old ministers present had a sense of déjà vu. They remembered that the late emperor had caught everyone off guard in this way fifteen years ago, and now another one has come. They are indeed father and son, who like to launch surprise attacks.

If you don't believe me, look at Prince Zhao standing in the front row. His face is filled with shock and he can't close his mouth. He looks exactly like the current prince fifteen years ago!

So, Your Majesty, you just got caught in the rain and want to tear off someone else's umbrella? Is the throne of a king of a country meant for your family to amuse themselves?

"Your Majesty, no, you are only sixty, why would you abdicate so early?..."

Yinzhen pretended not to hear and smiled smugly at his eldest son, then took a few steps forward and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need for you to say more! Prince Yi, Prince Xian, Zhang Tingyu, and Ortai, you must immediately follow the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the Qianqing Palace to retrieve the secret box. You still have to go through the necessary procedures."

Well, it’s the same old routine again. They really suspect that the current emperor has learned bad things from the previous emperor! When did the throne become so hot? ? ?

The ministers kept complaining in their hearts, and some even recalled the bloody successions of the throne over the past thousands of years. Looking at the past ten years, they suddenly felt dazed.

Ah? Is this realistic? The Qing dynasty was founded less than a hundred years ago, and there were two emperors who voluntarily abdicated. Wouldn't it become a custom in the royal family to follow the "rules of the ancestors" in the future?

However, they really want to ask, what difference does it make whether the secret succession is there or not? Oh, there is still a difference. At least no one is urging the emperor to appoint a successor!

To the speechless eyes of the court officials, it was discovered that the memorial in the secret box was indeed written with the name of Prince Zhao Honghui, without any twists and turns.

As for Honghui, who won the grand prize, he had already knelt down to resign, "Father, I can't do this. You are in good health, and you must not entrust the affairs of the court to your son's hands..."

Yinzhen glared at him: "Have you forgotten what I said? Did I tell you to take it and not refuse it? Honghui, do you want me to be angry?"

"I don't dare!"

"Then stop talking, and let's get on with it! I have embroidered a dragon robe for you, and have asked people to clean up the palace, and all the ceremonial equipment is ready. The first day of September is an auspicious day, so you should pack up and go to the palace to prepare in the next few days."

Everyone widened their eyes, thinking that they had broadened their horizons this time. Although they knew that Prince Zhao was the most valued and favored by the current emperor, they had never expected that he would be favored to this extent!

This has brought the food to my mouth, haha! !

Then, Emperor Yongzheng ordered: "Tell the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the abdication ceremony as soon as possible. I will abdicate on the first day of September. There must be no delay!"

All the officials of the Ministry of Rites cursed and replied in unison: "Yes, we obey your order."

"Okay, let's stop here and continue the discussion."

Wait, what about the lecture? What about the instructions? Just an announcement and that's it? Your Majesty, are you so confident in Prince Zhao? When did the succession of the throne become so swift and decisive?

Everyone seemed to be hesitant to speak, and in the end, they said nothing!

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten, what are they doing getting together?
