The imperial study room.

After the early court dispersed, Emperor Hongwen directly called the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers over.

"Dear dear ministers, do you remember the edict I issued some time ago?"

As soon as this statement came out, the eight people below were shocked.

Can you not remember this?

That was to replace the emperor's edict. Even if these ministers forgot about other things, they could never forget this thing.

But what does the emperor mean by bringing it up now?
Is he really planning to abdicate?
They thought very strangely in their hearts, the current Emperor Hongwen is only just over forty.

And whether it's dealing with political affairs or civil reputation, there are many things that are remarkable.

No matter what, they couldn't imagine why he abdicated in such a hurry.

It is not that there have been too many emperors in ancient times, but most of them were due to poor health, or the prince was too strong and had to abdicate.

They don't understand that people like Emperor Hongwen, who are in their prime and have made good achievements, want to abdicate.

Besides, although Jin Wang is powerful, he is not strong. At least he has not had any conflicts with Emperor Hongwen, and even now he has not interfered too much with the court.

Seeing that they were silent for a long time, Emperor Hongwen simply spoke directly.

"I plan to choose a date to abdicate recently, what do you love dears think?"

Sure enough, he is going to abdicate.

Everyone looked at each other, and Wen Songtao was the first to stand up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this matter should not be rushed. You are in your prime, so it is not good to abdicate early."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen frowned, how could he never have thought that the person who would stand up against it would be Wen Songtao?

However, he also knew that Wen Songtao was his humerus minister, and he must have his own considerations to stand up at this time.

"It's not good there?"

"First of all, let's talk about His Royal Highness King Jin. His achievements are indeed outstanding, and he is also quite prestigious among the people. He has no objections to being the successor, and the old officials are very willing to continue to assist."

"However, although His Royal Highness Jin Wang is powerful, he has not had much contact with the country's major affairs. I am afraid that he will be unfamiliar with him if he hastily rises to the position."

"Then, your Majesty, you are at the age of dragons and tigers. If you abdicate like this, we courtiers know what you think."

"But what about the outsiders? What about the common people? And individual caring people?"

"What will they think? Do they think that King Jin is persecuting him? If someone with a heart takes advantage of this to make trouble, can the seat of King Jin be secure?"

The few ministers beside him also nodded repeatedly when they heard his words.

"Your Majesty, Minister Wen's worries are not unreasonable."

"You want to pass the throne to King Jin, and I have no objection, but for the sake of Dongzhou and the future of King Jin, I ask you to think about it."

Emperor Hongwen was silent.

It is true that he was a little anxious. Wen Songtao said it was good, and he was right to worry.

It's just that he has promised King Jin to give up the throne after he gets married. If he doesn't give up at this time, will King Jin feel that he doesn't want to give up?

Just when he was hesitating, Wen Songtao continued; "Don't worry, your majesty, the ministers of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin will wait to talk. You just need to let the King of Jin familiarize himself with political affairs when he enters the court. It is best to let him do something. Contribute, and in this way you are making way for no one in the world to dare to say anything."

Dong and others also nodded repeatedly, saying that this method is very good.

At noon that day, the eight ministers arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion.

At this time, the young couple had already woken up, Jin Wang was waiting for Lu Yaoyao to familiarize himself with the palace, and there were still many servants of the palace waiting to meet the new mistress.

The sudden visit of the eight adults made King Jin somewhat astonished.

"Yaoyao, go and have a look with me."

Hearing that, just as Lu Yaoyao was about to refuse, King Jin continued: "We are one husband and wife, even if you don't go, I will tell you the matter later, it is better to go directly."

The eight ministers came together. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is nothing important.

King Jin will definitely discuss it with her afterwards.

Then the two of them went directly to the main hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Seeing King Jin coming, the eight ministers hurriedly stood up and saluted. When seeing Lu Yaoyao was also nearby, Minister of Rites frowned slightly, but still saluted again to say hello.

"Excuse me, please sit down."

King Jin directly took Lu Yaoyao's hand, and the two went to sit on the main seat.

Just now, the frowned of Minister of Rites and the astonishment of several ministers, King Jin could see them all. By doing so at this time, he clearly told them that it was not Lu Yaoyao who wanted to come by himself, but he took the initiative to pull her over. of.

Seeing this scene, Wen Songtao smiled in his heart. He really saw it well. In the future, the status of Dongzhou, the master of Wanfu County, will be very high, even surpassing all the queens in the past and present.

And it is possible to directly participate in the government.

Although he also felt that such an approach was a little wrong, he admired Princess Wanfu from the bottom of his heart. Such a strange woman should not be confined to the harem just because she was a daughter, and her ability was buried.

Moreover, he is also very clear about Lu Yaoyao's character. She is definitely not the kind of person who likes to be a monster. On the contrary, she is still a very good person for the country and the people. It depends on the things she has done in the past, which one is not a major event for the country.

As for Dong Xiang, he is also a good friend of Lu Yaoyao from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he will not say something that should not be said for nothing, to destroy the friendship that was established with great difficulty in the past.

And the others, who have no friendship with Lu Yaoyao, said that they really wanted to talk, but they didn't dare.

Just kidding, how long has it been since the Zhao Wang faction happened?
They dare not provoke this ruthless man.

Didn't the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites not speak?

"Everyone, we came here together today. I think there must be a big event. Please speak clearly."

Hearing this, Wen Songtao stood up first and cupped his hands. After all, he was the one who brought up this matter from the beginning, so he should be the first to stand up at this time.

As Wen Songtao explained the ins and outs of the matter, King Jin nodded slowly, with no displeasure on his face, and Lu Yaoyao sat on the side like a transparent person, and his expression didn't change much.

"His Royal Highness Jin, the emperor asked his ministers to go to the imperial study today to discuss the matter of abdicating the seat, but the old minister felt that it was not the right time, so..."

"Well, this king already knows the matter. Wenxiang is right. You are a capable and loyal minister of Dongzhou. Naturally, this king will not blame you. And you are right. This king is indeed very unfamiliar with political affairs. , it takes time to get familiar with it.”

"Even if you don't want to talk about the abdication, I plan to talk to the emperor about it."

Wen Songtao's words are very reasonable. King Jin is not someone who desperately wants to ascend the throne, on the contrary, he doesn't really want to ascend it now.

After all, the emperor of a country, even if Dongzhou's national conditions are good now, there are still many things to deal with every day. He just got married with Lu Yaoyao, and he still thinks about getting tired of it.

I don't want to be so busy that I don't have time.

And he also hopes that Dongzhou will be better in the future. Wen Songtao just listed some bad consequences that would be brought about by his eagerness to take over the position. This is very consistent with his idea, so he is not dissatisfied with it at all.
