A heater has already been set up in Xingyun Pavilion.
The light in Luoxue Tiange was quite dark, and red lanterns were also lit at this moment.
Emperor Wu led a group of people to a tea table and looked at it, "This place is my usual resting place. You all should feel free to sit down!"
The ministers seemed quite reserved, with the exception of Xia Guogong.
He literally sat down on the left side of Emperor Wu, turned around and looked around, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty... I remember that you have always liked weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. How come you have changed your temper in the past two years?" Did you get into trouble with your writing?"
Emperor Wu stretched out his hand to greet the other ministers. He also sat down and put Wu Qin aside, "Qin'er, come and make tea."
Wu Qin happily agreed, took the fire stick and lit the tea stove.
Emperor Wu sighed leisurely at this time: "I am old and can no longer hold swords and guns... In the past, there were a lot of killings, which somewhat damaged the blessings of our children and grandchildren."
"In recent days, I often see wars in my dreams at night. Every time I wake up in the blood, it is difficult to fall asleep again."
"I just thought that when I get old, I should do some things that old people should do."
"But I can't take care of my grandson like ordinary people... Speaking of the eldest son's son, he is already fifteen years old, but I have only met him once. When he was five years old, he accompanied Princess Ping back to your Duke Xia's mansion. when."
"What else can I do? No, Grand Tutor Yun suggested that I should stop worrying about state affairs, let the prince exercise more, and let me write more and meditate..."
"Three years. I have been writing here for three years. I am indeed much better mentally. I sleep better and I no longer have those nightmares..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Wu turned to look at Xia Mochou and asked, "What have you been doing, old guy, in the past few years? Or walking around?"
Xia Mochou grinned: "I am not a scholar, and I can't learn from it. Apart from walking birds, I also occasionally go to the tea garden to drink tea."
"We in Wu State have a prince who supervises the country. In the opinion of the old minister, the prince is a man of great ability. Your Majesty, you can really put down your burden and have a good rest."
As soon as he said these words, Wu Qian, who was waiting behind Emperor Wu, was suddenly shocked——
He didn't invite Duke Xia Guo!
He also withdrew Xia Li from Wuya Pass, and he is still idle!
He also plans to replace Xia Luna as Minister of War after he ascends the throne!
This old man Xia actually praises himself in front of his father... Is this because he wants to dig a hole for me? Or is he using these words to surrender to me?
Xia Mochou stroked his long beard and said:
"Let's just talk about Wuya Pass. Your Majesty, back then the Emperor and the old minister spent a lot of thought on Wuya Pass."
"But what's the result?"
"As a result, after countless sand table deductions, we all believe that it is almost impossible to win Wuya Pass."
"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went on a mission to Ning State and easily captured Wuyaguan when he returned!"
"What's this?"
"This is the power of the prince and the destiny of the country!"
Wu Qian was relieved when he heard this.
No pitfalls!
This old guy is indeed an old fox as the queen said!
With Xia Li out of the way, he had clearly seen the shape of the future.
He dare not use his old friendship with his father to ignore the existence of this palace!
If he wants his Duke Xia's Mansion to last forever in the Kingdom of Wu, he must submit to me!
Now that he has surrendered, he must be allowed to reap the benefits of surrender.
Hmm... I have to give Xia Li a future.
With this in his mind, Wu Qian quickly bowed his hands to Duke Xia, expressing his full respect for the veteran:
"Old Duke Xia is ridiculous. Speaking of which, the capture of Wuya Pass was a trap set by me through the Ningguo rebellion when I was in Yujing City, the capital of Ningguo!"
When Xia Guogong heard this, he asked in surprise: "Oh...? There is a story in this? Your Highness, can you tell me about it?"
Wu Qian was so happy!
This old guy knows what's going on. Only by saying this in front of his father and these important ministers can his ability be fully demonstrated.
"It's a long story, but I'll keep it short."
"Li Chen'an became the regent of Ning State, and his name was unjust. So he had to find the real eldest son to be the emperor, so he went to Shuzhou."
"Concubine Li in the palace is unwilling, because Concubine Li's son is in the palace. Why can't her son become the emperor?"
"This is the contradiction that exists in Ningguo, and Erchen took advantage of such a contradiction."
"The Red Flame Army is a soldier of the Duke of Yan State, and Concubine Li is a member of the Duke of Yan State. The son-in-law gave Concubine Li an idea and sent the Red Flame Army back to the capital to ensure that the third prince, Ning Zhiyuan, becomes emperor."
"As for Li Chenan... he must die in Shuzhou! The eldest son of the emperor must also die in Shuzhou!"
"Concubine Li is a woman after all. For the sake of her son, she really transferred the Red Flame Army away from Wuya Pass..."
Wu Qian laughed, "After my son returned to Xia Yuanzhou, he immediately led his troops to capture Wuyaguan... This is not my fault, but my father's great blessing!"
As soon as Emperor Wu stroked his short beard, his love for him blossomed.
He was also very happy, after all, this was his son.
Or the future king!
Seeking Wuya Pass has always been a regret in his heart. I didn't succeed, but my son did it easily. Of course, I will be proud of it.
He waved his hand: "Don't be pretentious!"
"This is your ability. If you can capture Wuyaguan without spending a single soldier, this is your great ability!"
"In the past three years, I have gradually asked less about state affairs. Firstly, I want to see the prince's ability to see the overall situation. Secondly... I also want to see you..."
Emperor Wu glanced at the six ministers and said, "In a country, there are many things happening every day. Even if the prince has three heads and six arms, he will still miss something."
"And as important ministers of the country, you should have the selfless thought of serving the country and sharing the prince's worries!"
"I am sixty years old, and you are all in your forties."
"I am of course the most at ease with you. What I hope is that next autumn, after the prince succeeds to the throne, you will be as loyal to the prince and fulfill your responsibilities for the country as you are to me."
"As for me...it's time to go for a walk around the country of Wu, or go for a stroll and drink tea with Old Man Xia."
These words are basically the words of entrustment for the handover of power.
This means that from tonight onwards, Emperor Wu will probably no longer care about government affairs, which means that Wu Qian will officially rule the country as the prince——
Not to supervise the country!
The prince's words are like the emperor's words.
The prince's order is just like the emperor's order!
The six ministers bowed their hands in unison: "I will not pay the emperor's trust!"
Emperor Wu was greatly relieved and looked up at General Gou Zhong.
"Sure Aiqing!"
Gou Zhong stood up, cupped his fists and saluted: "I'm here!"
"The prince is eighteen years old. Over the years, I have left state affairs to him, which has delayed his personal affairs."
"The East Palace cannot be without the crown prince, and after the crown prince ascends the throne, the Kingdom of Wu cannot be without the queen!"
Everyone's ears pricked up at this moment. They all knew about the appointment of the crown princess tonight.
But now the emperor said it himself in front of everyone... This means that the Gou family has suddenly become the most powerful family in Wu!
Of course Gou Zhong was extremely excited.
His old face was originally dark, but at this moment, the redness that should have appeared due to excitement made his face even darker.
Emperor Wu took the tea cup from Wu Qin and said again:
"Gou Aiqing is not only good at fighting, but also extremely rigorous in running a family."
"His son Gou Kuo is a talented general, and his daughter..."
"I heard that Gou Aiqing's daughter Gou Yunniang is twenty-eight years old. She is dignified in appearance, full of poems and books, and is virtuous and intelligent."
"My will..."
Emperor Wu has not finished speaking yet.
Gou Zhong's heart was already surging.
All the ministers thought that the dust had settled and were ready to congratulate Gou Zhong.
But at this moment, the door of Xingyun Pavilion opened with a "bang!"
There is wind and snow to get started.
Everyone looked at the door that was knocked open in great surprise.
Then I saw the old eunuch Zhang Jingchu stumbling in with a pale face!
