"I have reached an advanced age and have decided to abdicate my throne to the crown prince. The Ministry of Ceremonies will choose an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony." Emperor Jing sat on the dragon chair and silently observed the unusual expressions of the officials.
Li Yuanzhao felt as if he was in a dream, and he was in a state of confusion.
When he went to court today, such a big shock bomb was thrown at the beginning, which really made him unable to react.
After a while, Emperor Jing continued: "I have one last decree before I retire. The prince will listen to it."
Li Yuanzhao came to his senses and quickly knelt down in front of him: "My son is here."
"After I abdicate, you are not allowed to take the initiative to start a war with the church within two years. The great scene still needs time to prepare. When the preparations are complete, you will personally lead the troops, flatten the church, and promote the national prestige of our great scene."
"Son... I accept the decree."
"Your Majesty, please think twice! A small Western country can just send troops to conquer, so why go into such a dangerous situation?"
The ministers were in an uproar, and were shocked by the news that Emperor Jing was the second to throw out.
Li Yansong, who had remained calm at first, became extremely shocked.
He knew the news of the passing of the throne, and there was nothing to say about it.
But... His Majesty originally arranged for a personal expedition, why did he change his mind! What kind of ecstasy soup did Fang Zhengyi give to His Majesty?
The old god Founder is here.
Emperor Jing had already communicated with him about today's situation.
I just visited Taoyuan County yesterday and made plans on the spot. I even decided to abdicate before my injury healed.
Let the prince take full charge of national affairs as soon as possible.
I guess... I was somewhat stimulated.
Li Yuanzhao was in a daze, and the officials continued to admonish Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing waved his hand helplessly and said: "Stop talking, everyone go out, Fang Zhengyi stays."
The emperor spoke, and all the officials had no choice but to retreat.
Before Li Yuanzhao left, he quietly patted Xia Zhengyi's shoulder and whispered, "I'll wait for you outside."
Fang Zheng nodded.
There are only one or two people left in the main hall, Emperor Jing, Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng cupped his fists and said, "I wonder what your Majesty's orders are?"
Emperor Jing was a little absent-minded: "I have never been afraid of anything in my life, but yesterday... you really scared me."
"I don't know how many secrets you have."
After Emperor Jing finished speaking, his eyes turned to Fang Zhengyi.
Fang Zheng hesitated and said: "My son... does have some personal secrets, but as far as the country and family are concerned, my son has always had a clear conscience, and he has no reservations about his father and family. There are some things that he has not taken action on, but he has not yet done so. When the time is right.”
Fang Zhengyi started to play the family card without hesitation.
"Then you should inform me when you are secretly researching weapons!" Emperor Jing said loudly, "If such a murderous weapon falls into the hands of lawless people, it will be a huge disaster!"
Fang Zheng was silent for a moment: "My son committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and deserves death."
"Yes, you are indeed bullying me! And it's not the first time for you." Emperor Jing said with a straight face, "If it were someone else, I don't know how many times he would have died, but even if I gave him Ling Chi, it would be considered light."
"If my father wants to grant death, I will be happy to do so." Fang Zhengyi said calmly.
"Oh, I really can't do anything about you." Emperor Jing looked at him and shook his head helplessly. Then he changed the topic and said in a soft tone: "Zhengyi, build me a palace. It's in Taoyuan County. It doesn't need to be big. .”
Are you worried about me? You want to go to Taoyuan County to watch me in person?
Fang Zheng nodded on the surface and thought in his heart.
"Father..."
"It's not that I don't worry about you. I understand your character very well. I just like Taoyuan County." Emperor Jing closed his eyes and seemed to sigh, "When I first met you, Taoyuan County magistrate opened my eyes, but yesterday Let me feel that it is still the same as before, at that moment, just like yesterday..."
When he said this, Fang Zhengyi felt extremely emotional.
At that time, he was still doing nothing, but now he is involved in plotting the whole world. Time is really amazing.
Emperor Jing was silent for a while and said: "Zhengyi, you are a person who can create miracles. Yuan Zhao will entrust you to me from now on. He cannot be a mediocre emperor. He must surpass me. Can you help him do it?"
"able."
"With your words, I feel relieved. Then you can go back first. I still need to recover from this wound for a few days." Emperor Jing slowly waved his hand in farewell.
Fang Zhengyi also turned around and left. The moment he stepped out of the door, a hand pulled him aside.
"Lao Fang, what's going on with Father? I'm not prepared at all, why is no one ventilating me?" Li Yuanzhao asked hurriedly.
Fang Zhengyi said meaningfully: "Your Highness, fate never gives people time to prepare. It is your turn to carry the banner."
"I know! But I can't understand what my father said. This is not his style of doing things at all!" Li Yuanzhao frowned, "It's enough to let me succeed. Why do you have to wait two years before attacking the church? Why do you let me Going out in person?"
"For two years, we already knew that King Wu was in control of the church, and the other side could launch an attack at any time, but they had to delay it for two years."
"It is my wish to have you lead troops on an expedition, but when did your father ever trust me so much?"
"Lao Fang, my father trusts you more than he trusts me. Do you know something? Don't hide it from me!"
Fang Zhengyi said honestly: "I did talk to His Majesty about this matter, and we talked about it yesterday. As for the church... King Wu does not dare to move lightly, and we can use the Brotherhood to send false information to delay He, we also need more ironclad ships and weapons and equipment, and we can almost have them all in two years."
"As for why you decided to let you go in person, you actually don't know. His Majesty is very proud of you. Yesterday he drank too much and said that you were a god with soldiers and could behead Wu Tu alone. This bravery was far beyond what he had when he was young. Yes, but because of the dignity of the old father, he refused to say it clearly."
"As long as we are fully prepared and His Highness's military capabilities are in place, wouldn't it be like chopping up melons and vegetables for a mere foreigner in a war?"
"That's right." Li Yuanzhao thought thoughtfully, "But after all, my father passed the throne too suddenly, and I'm not ready yet."
I really think you've been ready for a long time!
Fang Zheng squinted his eyes and glanced at him with extremely contempt.
"Your Majesty, the first priority is to go to the Ministry of Etiquette to ask questions and make preparations in advance to avoid making a fool of yourself during the enthronement ceremony."
"A joke? Ridiculous! Who dares to laugh at me? Let me see if you laugh at me?"
"Your Majesty is truly astonishingly courageous."
As the two stood at the door singing harmony, a coughing sound came from behind.
"Cough!" Guo Tianyang coughed.
The two of them looked up at the same time, and Emperor Jing's green and red face suddenly appeared in their eyes, and the blue veins had spread from his neck to his forehead.
"I'm not dead yet, you two beasts are ready to rebel? Come in here and close the door!!!"
