Yan Yunge didn't say anything and didn't reveal anyone's idea of ​​abdicating.

but……

Everyone in the court was clever.

Especially her close ministers, she had already vaguely guessed her plan, but she couldn't believe it, let alone prove it.

Abdicate!

Since ancient times, only those who have been forced to abdicate in all dynasties have never voluntarily abdicated.

That is unimaginable.

The closest ministers gathered together and discussed carefully.

"Has Your Majesty been threatened? Do you believe that the prince is unfaithful and unfilial, and he privately took His Majesty's handle."

"It shouldn't be. Obviously, His Majesty doesn't seem to be threatened."

"What is the reason? I don't believe that His Majesty is not attached to the imperial power, and I am really willing to give up the throne."

"Can it be something wrong with Your Majesty's body? Think about it, Saint Xiao has not been to the morning court for several years and has been recuperating his body. Could it be that Your Majesty's body has also become in trouble."

"It may not be that there is no such thing. However, there was no movement in the Imperial Hospital. Moreover, you can see His Majesty's complexion, not like a sick person."

"Not being coerced, and not having any physical problems, why did Your Majesty abdicate?"

"Your Majesty's abdication is just our guess, and it has not been confirmed yet. Please do not show any expression that Your Majesty has abdicated."

"Then go and verify it and ask Your Majesty personally if you plan to give up the throne. If it is true, I firmly oppose it. This country belongs to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's life is prolonged, and twenty years is not a problem. The country and the country are not stable enough, and the foundation is not solid enough, so you cannot just abdicate like this."

"Maybe the problem lies here. Think about it, how old is Prince Xin this year? How old will he be in twenty years? I have only heard of the emperor who died of old age, but I have never heard of the crown prince who died of old age."

Everyone frowned.

"If it is really abdicated for this reason, it is not worth it. The Great Zhou Dynasty is inseparable from His Majesty."

"Your Majesty is just abdicating, not leaving."

"You will understand such a simple truth if you don't do your business if you don't do it if you don't have it! Moreover, with Your Majesty's temper and personality, once you abdicate, it is basically impossible to interfere in the government affairs. Prince Xin is good, and in any dynasty, he is a qualified crown prince. But compared to Your Majesty, he is still not enough. I am worried that he will not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility."

"Don't be so pessimistic and desperate. Everything is speculation."

"Then find an opportunity, ask Your Majesty, and be at ease."

"If His Majesty really abdicated, we can make plans early."

"Hey! When the term of office is over, I will go to the elders' home to retire and watch you go to trouble."

"I'll go to the Elders' Home to take care of my elderly care, too."

Everyone was a little discouraged.

They followed Yan Yunge and were loyal to Yan Yunge.

If Yan Yunge passed away unexpectedly, that would be fine.

They were living well and suddenly chose to abdicate, which was difficult for them to accept from the bottom of their hearts.

It’s not that I don’t recognize Xiao Yuanchu, but that I’m too emotionally hurt.

The emperors they support should not give up their responsibilities so easily.

therefore……

On a rainy afternoon, the old ministers all came to the Second Saint Palace to meet the Saint.

They need an answer, an explanation.

Hopefully all guesses are false.

At this moment, they all hope that they will not be so smart or stupid, and perhaps they will not have so many worries.

Yan Yunge sat behind the desk, looking at the ministers, looking at the ministers, looking like they were raising troops to question and burning their boats, and couldn't help but have a headache.

She rubbed her eyebrows and tapped the table lightly.

"My dear friends, if I remember correctly, today is a day off. If you don't rest at home and keep your energy and taxes, why do you all come to the Second Holy Palace? Have you made an appointment?"

"Your Majesty is a clear example, and I have indeed made an appointment to come, and I only want one answer."

Yan Yun sang "Yeah".

She knew what answers the ministers wanted, but at this moment, she remained silent.

She had no intention of releasing her thoughts at this time.

Everything came unexpectedly.

I can only say that there are too many smart people under my command. Sometimes these unwise people are so annoying that they can't hide anything from them.

After hesitating for a moment, I always have to face it.

Escape is not her style.

She raised her head and said seriously: "What answers do you want to ask for? You might as well tell me. I may be able to solve your doubts."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'm so boldly guessing. Is Your Majesty planning to abdicate and let Prince Xin ascend the throne early to inherit the throne?"

"Why do you have such questions? Is anyone talking nonsense in your ears?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, no one is talking nonsense. However, I have been with Your Majesty for decades and I dare not tell you clearly about your Majesty's habits, but I still know a little bit. Your Majesty has been a bit abnormal in the past six months, so I dared to guess. I am guilty and ask Your Majesty to submit your crime."

Yan Yunge was silent, and was silent for a long time.

The court officials came to the door and continued to hide the inappropriate situation.

but……

How to start this topic and make the courtiers accept her decision is also a difficult problem.

She said carefully: "I want to ask you, if one day I am tired, I really plan to abdicate early and let Yuanchu inherit the throne. What will you do?"

"Your Majesty, no!"

"The country and the country are all operating according to Your Majesty's setting, and the foundation is not solid enough. Your Majesty abdicates at this time, and he may be in trouble if someone loses his power."

"Your Majesty can't be confused! The court cannot be separated from Your Majesty, and the world cannot be separated from Your Majesty. Do you really want to give up the country that Your Majesty has worked hard to conquer? Do you have the heart to bear it?"

"I dare to ask, why did Your Majesty have the idea of ​​abdicating? Is it someone threatened, or is it because of health, or something else we don't know? I beg your Majesty to tell you the truth, I don't want to be concealed. No matter what the difficulties are, I firmly stand on Your Majesty's side."

"I am firmly standing on Your Majesty's side!"

The ministers all bowed to express their loyalty.

Yan Yunge was very moved, "I'll sit down and talk. I will answer your worries and doubts one by one. I'm going to blame you, I do have plans to abdicate, but it's not this year, not next year. Maybe it's the year after, or maybe three or four years later."

The ministers looked at each other.

There is only one question, "Why?"

Yan Yunge was silent for a moment, "There are many reasons. Yuanchu has grown up and is at the age of being strong and pioneering and enterprising. It should be given a chance to give him some achievements instead of ascending the throne with regrets. Of course, this is not the main reason.

I have ascended the throne for many years, personally designed blueprints, formulated laws and systems, and brought the Great Zhou Dynasty on the right track. This process is both magnificent and great, and it is also very hard and exhausting.

I want to see if the system can continue normally after I leave the dragon throne? Can people's hearts still be united? Can the empire become stronger and stronger?

Everyone, doing this is a test of the ability of the heirs I have personally cultivated, and at the same time, it is also a test of the abilities of the court officials and the advantages and disadvantages of the court system.

I hope there will be problems. Only when problems arise in this process will we have the opportunity to correct them and check for omissions.

What I fear the most is that when I was alive, everything looked good, but the problem was hidden in the shadows and never discovered.

When Saint Xiao and I passed away, all the problems under the shadow emerged. At that time, the real crisis of the empire will be.

My dear friends, do you have the confidence to correct the situation and solve all problems? I trust you, but how confident are you in yourself?"

silence!

After a long time of silence!

After a long time...

"Does Your Majesty distrust us? Or does he distrust the prince?"

"No! I just don't believe that there are perfect systems in the world. Any system has two sides, needs to be promoted, and needs to be checked for omissions and fill in the gaps. Most of the time I sit on the dragon throne, I can't see the problem. Only when I walk off the dragon throne and go to the people can I find the root of the problem and start to solve the problem."

"I dare to ask, is there a big problem with Saint Xiao's body? People in the world say that Your Majesty is hard-hearted, but I all know that Your Majesty is the softest. Especially for issues related to Saint Xiao, it is difficult to maintain rationality."

"Don't just talk nonsense, how can you randomly speculate on the relationship between the two saints?"

Yan Yunge raised his hand.

"I speak freely today, and there is no need to be any taboos. If the daily man is not here, the conversation between the monarch and the minister today will be unsure that it will not be recorded."

All the officials and officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your tolerance, I dare to say what I think. If Your Majesty abdicates for Saint Xiao, I firmly oppose it.

Saint Xiao is good at military and military affairs, and His Majesty has been worried about the economy and people's livelihood over the years.

Now, it is a critical period for the empire, which determines the country's destiny for the next two hundred years. I beg your Majesty to not abdicate for the future of the empire!"

"Please take back your majesty and do not abdicate."
