Compared with the older ones, who were now over 60 years old, Huang Qiong did not feel any surprise when Cai and Dao Meiping passed away. Even when Duan Yan'er, who just celebrated her sixtieth birthday, passed away, Huang Qiong didn't feel anything too surprised. This is not just because the three girls are already old. It is not easy to live to such a long life in this era. Moreover, Cai suffered many mental blows in his early years. If she hadn't met herself, if she hadn't had a body again, her mentality might not have been able to live to the age of fifty.
As for Dao Meiping and Duan Yan'er, after being forced to follow them, they still enjoyed happiness on the surface. But in fact, the two girls have always been very depressed. Dao Meiping not only has to bear the strange looks from the Duan girls in the palace, but also has to worry about Duan Lin. As for Duan Yan'er, Huang Qiong also knew that her relationship with Da Ru was never restored. Most of the time, the cause of short life for many people is not the number of hardships they have experienced. It's not that you deliberately indulge yourself, but that it comes from mental repression, which is fatal.
But the deaths of Duan Jin and He Yao, and even the sudden death of He Yao, almost made Huang Qiong almost collapse. Over the years, these two women have become wives and sisters to him. He Yao has a calm and gentle temperament, while Duan Ji is generous and tolerant. These two women have been supporting the entire rear for Huang Qiong. Duan Jin, in particular, was even more intelligent and helped Huang Qiong solve many problems. The death of the second daughter left Huang Qiong heartbroken. After burying the two daughters together with Cai in the underground palace of his imperial mausoleum, Huang Qiong collapsed.
Huang Qiong had been ill for more than half a year, and Situ Huanshuang, who had lost his aunt and two closest sisters one after another, although he was extremely sad, had to work hard to take care of Huang Qiong. However, Huang Ruifeng, whose mother died of illness and father was seriously ill, was extremely sad. Under Huang Qiong's severe rebuke, he could only spend days and months observing filial piety and then took over the important task of supervising the country. During those days, Huang Ruifeng was almost extremely busy. On the one hand, he had to comfort the sad Daya and Jinyang, on the other hand, he had to fulfill his filial piety by his father's side, and he also had to take care of all the affairs of the court.
It didn't take long for my tired belly to disappear, and it also became a full circle. Rang originally went to Beiliao for him and actually brought back four concubines. Moreover, these four concubines, each with a higher status than the last, and Princess Yong who was still angry with him, felt very distressed. Not only do you change the law, but also get him some delicious food. He also restrained his family members from disturbing Huang Ruifeng at this time. Originally, both Huang Ruifeng and his Princess Yong thought they would wait until their father recovered from his illness.
The time has come when everything returns to dust. Except for Fu Yuanshan and a few people who were greeted by Huang Qiong in advance. What everyone in the court, as well as the clans all over the world, didn't expect was what happened. After Huang Qiong recovered from his illness, he made adjustments to the overall situation and entrusted most of the government affairs to Huang Ruifeng. Faced with Huang Ruifeng's reluctance, Huang Qiong just patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him in a non-serious tone: "Since you have been doing well, just keep doing it."
"I have been the king for twenty years, plus the years when I served as the prince. I am really tired due to internal and external difficulties in these years. If I were willing to loosen my grip early and let you go out on errands earlier, it would not be a problem. I have so much free time to spend time with your mother and concubines. When they are all gone, I regret not accompanying them well. Now that the world is so important, I have already done everything I should do for you. If you really want to be a filial son, then Let me have a rest too. It doesn’t matter if you stick to the rules or try to innovate.”
"That's up to you. As long as you don't let the great Qi Dynasty, which I have worked hard for more than 20 years and finally restore, fall into disrepair. You will be thirty soon, as an old friend often says. Stand up at ten. If you really can't stand up, you can only blame me. Apart from being blind, you have no way to teach your son. Of course, if you really want to try my family skills, I don't mind. Give it to you first. After you give it a try, we can jump into the well together. Where is your brother? I will naturally make arrangements so you don’t have to worry about it."
Huang Qiong knew what his son was most worried about. There was no trace of sincerity in his tone, and it was even more of a perfunctory encouragement. After perfunctory enough to appease his somewhat uneasy son, he gave up most of his hands on government affairs. When he was in Liaoyang Mansion, Huang Ruifeng was asked to report the matter every three days. But this time, it was originally said to be reported every five days. But in fact, it is already very good to be able to summon Huang Ruifeng once every half month and ask him to report on previous government affairs.
Huang Qiong suddenly acted boldly and handed over most of the government affairs to the emperor's second son. This made everyone in the court stunned for a moment. They didn't understand that he was so energetic before that few ministers in the court could keep up with him. What happened to this emperor who could handle government affairs in an orderly manner even when he was holding a woman with one hand and handling government affairs with the other. You are not yet fifty, why are you suddenly tired of politics? But before the ministers could react to the sudden change, another piece of news completely devastated them.
After the emperor's eldest son finished observing his filial piety, Huang Qiong entrusted him with important tasks. Huang Qiong said that it is a pity that many books in the past dynasties have been scattered. Therefore, the emperor's eldest son was appointed as the editor-in-chief, and he compiled a set of books from hundreds of schools of classics and history since the beginning of the book contract, including astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, monks' Taoism, skills, and even military books and strategies, Shennong Baicao, and music theory. Waiting for it to be compiled into a book. Huang Qiong personally named it "Sikuquanshu". He also issued an edict to the world to encourage scholars all over the world to study. Huang Qiong's move in compiling a book can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
But for the dignitaries in the court, they all knew clearly that in the coming days, as long as King Yong did not make any big mistakes, he would be almost a sure candidate for the throne. Although the power was still firmly in the hands of the emperor, it was King Yong who handled daily government affairs on behalf of the emperor. With this Emperor Chongde, he supervised the country and handled government affairs in advance before the Supreme Emperor passed the throne. Except for the difference in permissions, the rest are almost the same. It's already clear to everyone that things have come to this point.
Most of the officials in the court believed that Huang Qiong kicked the emperor's eldest son to compile books just to clear the way for the emperor's second son to truly govern. But in fact, none of them knew that it was the eldest son of the emperor himself who requested to compile the book. Huang Qiong went to the north, leaving the emperor's eldest son to assist the queen in handling government affairs. But it made the emperor's eldest son, who was always sober, completely realize that he was indeed not the material to be an emperor. When Huang Qiong returned from the Northern Expedition, the eldest son of the emperor took the initiative to find Huang Qiong, repeatedly asked for it, and finally relieved him of all his errands.
After Huang Qiong recovered from his illness, the father and son talked for a whole night before coming up with Huang Qiong's arrangement for his eldest son. After receiving this errand, the blessed king felt extremely relaxed. But Princess Fu, who really didn't want her husband and was involved in the fratricide, breathed a sigh of relief. Especially don't worry, my husband is like my second uncle, who is so tired that he almost loses his temper due to busy government affairs. Not to mention worrying about the husband falling into fratricidal situations. The most important thing is that book repair is the husband and wife's common hobby and desire.
It is said that a good wife and husband will not do anything bad at home, and this is indeed true. For the emperor's eldest son to have such a clear mind, his princess probably deserves the most credit. This princess is very smart, and her talents and learning are not bad, she is not even inferior to Duan Jin and Lin Hanyan. She knew clearly that her husband not only followed her mother-in-law's temperament, but was also too simple and kind, and he was also a bit too bookish. Even though they both grew up with the emperor, when it comes to tricks and scheming, both husbands are no match for their second uncle.
Even though his brother-in-law is a good character, he is not a cruel person who will do whatever it takes to get power and responsibility, and he doesn't even care about brotherhood. But when it comes to the battle for reserve positions, who will really care about so much? It is better to recognize oneself early and correct the status between brothers in the future than to drag the whole family to be buried with him. Especially the second uncle, the city has become more and more sophisticated over the years, his methods have become more and more changeable, and his tactics have become more sophisticated. Even as my sister-in-law, I can't see through this second uncle.
Instead of fighting to the death in the future, it is better to recognize yourself early and actively withdraw. Leave enough dignity for everyone, and don't get to the point where brothers kill each other. She knew very well that if it came to this point, her husband's character would definitely not be the one with the last laugh. Therefore, Princess Fu has been instilling this concept in her husband since she got married. Preserving enough brotherhood between two people is the most beneficial thing for your family.
And after this time assisting the government, I have come to know myself more clearly. Originally, he had no intention of competing for the position of crown prince. Most of the reasons can be said to be purely due to the eldest son of the emperor being bullied by his own father. Adhering to the concept of listening to his wife's advice to eat enough, he took the initiative to ask to be relieved of his errands. When Huang Qiong asked him what he was going to do after taking off his errands. Without thinking, he said that his wish was to compile a book that would bring together ancient and modern books into a complete book. This is the result.
After handing over most of his rights to his son. After Huang Qiong recovered from his illness, he built a small palace outside his mausoleum. Almost every year, I live there for two months. In addition to the Queen's entourage, there were only a few concubines in the palace, such as Lin Hanyan and Wang Xuemei. While living in the palace, Huang Qiong would sit in front of the square city for an hour almost every three or two days, chatting with the girls Chen Yao, He Yao, Duan Jin and Cai who were lying inside. The concubines who followed all shed tears when they saw this scene.
As we all know, the sudden deaths of Duan Jin and He Yao left Huang Qiong heartbroken. But even Huang Ruifeng didn't expect that his father would be so affectionate towards his mother and Aunt He. He Yao and his mother and concubine both died in the arms of their father. And after they died, their father and the emperor let out that wailing sound that sounded like they were about to collapse, almost resounding throughout the entire palace. The Huang Ruifeng brothers, who were in extreme sadness at the time, could clearly hear that the wailing contained countless sadness, pain, and even collapse.
In fact, no one in the whole court knew. After Duan Jin and He Yao died one after another, Huang Qiong, who slightly recovered from his sadness, once suspected that he was the one who had never been caught. The eldest daughter-in-law, with whom Lu Wentao has a very close relationship, was called a poisoner for the purpose of exterminating the family. Otherwise, even if the two girls are older in the past two years, Duan Jin has been in poor health since returning to Yanshan Mansion, but they are both people with martial arts skills.
No matter how bad his health is, he will not die in his fifties. Especially He Yao, who had never felt uncomfortable before. Huang Qiong, who became more and more suspicious the more he thought about it, secretly summoned Lao Li into the palace. In the entire Taiyuan Hospital, Lao Li, who had been following him since he was at the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County, was the only doctor he trusted.
