In June of the 16th year of Destiny, Emperor Dayan's son Sang Yu announced to the world that Dao would abdicate on the founding day of August [-], and then the crown prince Sang Rui would ascend the throne.

The people all mourned and sighed.

In the hearts of people all over the world, Zi Sang Yu is their legendary emperor.An orphan from the former dynasty, by accident, became a consort of a generation and married the most beloved princess of Emperor Daning; Under the imperial city of Kyoto, and the gate of Kyoto opened by Prince Daning himself, it can be seen how high this person's prestige is?

Chengyun rectified his name, outwitted Luoguan, fought against Jiangzhou, shot an arrow at Baiyuan, destroyed the city of Dingjiang, and later pardoned the Bai family.The image of Zi Sangyu is that of a real proud son of heaven, a young emperor who was blessed by the previous dynasty and had a smooth sailing.Of course, except for that time in Dingjiang City.

But small mistakes can not affect the image left by Zi Sang Yu to the people. After all, since Zi Sang Yu came to the throne, he has implemented a clean government, cracked down on corrupt officials, reformed the land, and expanded the territory. It's like waking up.There were times of prosperity in Dayan, but there are indeed not many people at Zi Sang Yu's age who have achieved such achievements, very few.

However, such a legendary emperor is still in his prime, why is he about to abdicate now?The common people don't understand, so they feel sad for this matter.

-

The second watch on June night,

The Royal Study Room of the Imperial City.

Although it is such a scorching weather, it is not too hot because it has been a long time now; and Lian Zhong asked someone to bring ice-cold sour plum soup to relieve the heat, so at this moment several important ministers sitting in the imperial study You can still settle down and listen to the emperor say a few words.

"Your Majesty, Lao Hu, I don't understand. You are retiring now, what will we do in the future?" Hu Yabao was half lying on the ground, and because the marble floor was cool at night, he wished he could put his whole body on it to relieve the pain. heat.Everyone is not surprised, and they don't have much opinion on his behavior, so let him go.

Zi Sangyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at them with emotion.There were not many people there tonight, one Jiang Yuxing had recently gone home on leave, and one Wu Tianyou was sick and still resting in the mansion.Regarding the abdication, these confidantes are not in a good mood. They think that Zi Sangyu can still be emperor for a few more years, and there is no need to entrust the heavy responsibility of the country to the crown prince so soon.

They don't understand.

"If I live to be a hundred years old in this life, do I have to pass on the throne at the moment of old age and death? At the time of introduction, the prince was also over 80, so I have to pass on to his son; his son is probably in his fifties or sixties." Zi Sangyu thought so The scene was so funny that he shook his head. "There is no need to hold the throne tightly in your hands. The longer I sit in this position, the more things will be changed. The time for people to make the most rational decisions is limited, and it is easy to get confused when they are old. Besides, I still I hope to see the crown prince take charge of his own affairs and guide the country."

From ancient times to the present, I am afraid that few emperors have seen it as thoroughly as Zi Sangyu.

In fact, she has another more important reason, that is, the longer she is emperor, the easier her daughter's identity will be exposed.She still wants to be an ordinary woman. She has been stained with too much blood and done too many things at the top of power in her life. It is time to retire.

Rui'er will take this role well.

Hu Yabao simply lay down on the ground.Zi Sangyu's words were reasonable, and he couldn't think of any words to refute; but he still felt uncomfortable, so he simply kept silent, stared at the beam above his head, and occasionally gritted his teeth to provoke that The beard trembled slightly.

"Don't do that to Lao Hu." Chai Ziquan patted him on the shoulder understandingly. "In fact, no matter what the emperor decides, we will support it; but when I think that I will never be able to stay in the imperial study like this in the future, I always feel that something is missing. After so many years, the emperor suddenly said that you would abdicate, my brother A few..." The more Chai Ziquan said, the more his voice became choked up.Zi Sangyu hurriedly interrupted him dumbfounded:

"Hey, I just abdicated."

It's not like I won't see you in the future!

these people.

"I know..."

"Where does the emperor go when he abdicates?"

Hu Yabao, who had been muffled for a while, picked up the conversation, turned his head to look at Zi Sang Yu, but didn't dare to look directly for too long. "The emperor resigned when he was introduced. Lao Hu doesn't necessarily have to be reused by the prince. When he has nothing to do, he wants to drink a few glasses of wine with the emperor. I don't know where the emperor plans to go in the future? Stay in the imperial city? Let everyone often Visit and visit the emperor, lest there will always be worries."

Zi Sangyu is still considering this question.

I don't want to stay in the imperial city, and it should be impossible in Kyoto.Thinking about it, maybe I will live near the capital for a while, and after Ruier becomes emperor, I will have some improvement, and then go to the grassland?Riding horses and raising whips in the grassland is what she has been thinking about for so many years. It is hard for Mobei to manage in a decent way these years, so of course she has to live.

And Bai Qingran.

Don't let these confidantes find you in this kind of young couple's life.

"Not far." Zi Sangyu just smiled and left this sentence, and then stopped talking.Lian Zhong, who had been following orders over there, heard their conversation, and his heart sank.

In the middle of the night, because there was not much to discuss, the secret meeting for tonight was broken up.The weather has been hot recently, and Zi Sangyu specially took a break for half a month in the morning, so that these officials would not always get sick on the way to and from the imperial city, and it is not good to be too tired.

"The moonlight is good tonight."

Zi Sangyu stood outside the palace gate with arms folded, looking at the scenery above his head.There was a bright moon hanging in the deep blue sky, and the bright light illuminated the whole city. Accompanied by a few slow-moving clouds, it seemed incomparably harmonious and leisurely.Zi Sang Yu let out a long breath, thoughtful.

"The emperor intends to stand for a while?"

"Ah."

Lian Zhong nodded, and gestured to the servants behind him, asking them to put out the lanterns and step aside.

Zi Sang Yu also often has this kind of time.After coming out of the imperial study room, he will stay on the palace wall for a while.Either meditate by herself, or chat with Lian Zhong, in short, it is because of some uncomfortable things that happened recently, she will relax for a long time like this, and she can't remember which night it is in which year At that time, Lian Zhong asked why the emperor didn't return to the palace?Zi Sangyu said, wait a moment, don't let Ran'er see me like this.

"Lian Zhong."

"The little one is here."

"Tell me, can I feel at ease now that I'm gone?"

Lian Zhong stood behind Zi Sangyu and looked up at her.By the way, why is the emperor getting thinner and thinner?A few years ago, the dragon robe still fit just right, but now it looks a little bigger. "The emperor has made a comprehensive plan. The prince Congrui will definitely live up to what the emperor entrusts. The affairs of the court... I don't think I have to worry about it. The emperor doesn't need to worry too much."

"I remember a common saying among the people. It's called, raise a child to be a hundred years old, and worry until 99. Whether it's Rui'er or Nan'er, I'm equally worried." Zi Sangyu took a breath, "The magic dragon hasn't moved recently, Even Zhuo Zhao and his righteous brother didn't send any letters back, which made me a little worried. In fact, there are still many things that have not been resolved when I abdicate at this time. I don't want to help Rui'er solve everything, but I'm always afraid that he won't be able to handle it..."

Lian Zhong couldn't help smiling.

But he quickly adjusted himself, and got back to the topic: "Your Majesty, Zhengtian discussed with us a few days ago. It was said that on the day the Emperor abdicated, our confidantes also went with the Emperor..." Lian Zhong tentatively Looking at her carefully, he saw her frowning slightly.

"What does that mean?"

Zi Sangyu's tone was a bit cold.

All the confidantes follow the emperor?Doesn't Rui'er Nan'er need the protection of the hidden guards? Could it be that this group of hidden guards really only protect the Zisang family?Dayan is still just getting started, and there is no room for any mistakes. If this piece of land is lost again because of this reason, who will be responsible?

"Your Majesty," Lian Zhong made up his mind, and his tone was unusually firm: "The crown prince has ascended the throne, and the young adopted son Lian Cheng is by his side to help; as for the matter of the secret guard, Zheng Tian and others are all of a certain age , Now the cultivation of the hidden guards has many successors, who can completely replace a batch of fresh and loyal blood to serve the new emperor! But the emperor, the little ones have been with you for so long, it is... really impossible to leave you too far away."

Zi Sang Yu rubbed his eyebrows.

She didn't quite understand why this group of people lost all meaning as soon as they heard that she was leaving, as if they had no sustenance.To abdicate, to be the Supreme Emperor, I just want to get out of this intriguing court as soon as possible, and live my life well, don't tell me... do you want me to call a bunch of followers?A bunch of hidden guards accompany me to live in a yurt on the grassland?

It's strange to think about it.

"You can have your own lives." Zi Sangyu turned around, and the dragon robe on his body moved accordingly. "Lian Zhong, you have been with me for half your life, and you have been working hard. Now that I plan to abdicate, you should also find a good life, find a good place to live well."

Hearing her words, Lian Zhong fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, Lian Zhong once made a blood oath to follow the Emperor in this life! The same goes for Zhengtian and other hidden guards. Each of them has their own mission. If the Emperor refuses to let him We follow, fearing that in the future we will make a libation for the crown prince—we won’t even have the face to taste it!”

"Okay, why are you talking about my father and emperor again?" Zi Sangyu frowned, "It's been so many years, and Dayan has changed a lot, why do you still think like this? I have resigned, who is there?" Will murder me? Don't think so much."

Lian Zhong raised his sleeve to cover half of his face, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears. "Your majesty, how about this, the little ones will find their own lives, but they may go to the same place as the emperor... When we become neighbors, the emperor will not chase us away with a broom..."

"..."

Zi Sang Yu really didn't know what to say to them.

"There is still a period of time, let's calculate it when the time comes. By the way, let Zhengxuan Zhenghuang and the others keep a close eye on Mo Jiao. I haven't heard from my brother-in-law for more than half a month."

His eyes narrowed.
