"You'll know then."
Li Qing made a riddle and then said: "I have one more condition."
"you say."
"You can't bring anyone else with you, just you, otherwise, let's give up." Li Qing said.
"Um..." Wang Shouren was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm going to visit my father-in-law then, what should I do?"
Li Qing said angrily: "Thanks for your determination to become a sage, you can't even turn around this corner. You can hire me temporarily when the time comes."
"Ah? This..." Wang Shouren said calmly: "Isn't this not good?"
Li Qing shrugged, "Then there's nothing we can do. Let's go our separate ways."
"No," Wang Shouren became a little anxious, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell my father later."
After a pause, he asked suspiciously: "Are you really a Taoist priest?"
He got attached to Li Qing, firstly because he thought they could chat, and secondly because Li Qing was a Taoist priest and he wanted to experience some Taoist culture.
"Of course." Li Qing also patted his chest and promised, "Nanchang is not far from Longhu Mountain. If you are not in a hurry to get a wife, I can take you to Longhu Mountain to play for a few days and live on the mountain. No problem.”
"Seriously?" Wang Shouren's heart pounded.
Li Qing said proudly: "We can talk to Master Longhu, okay?"
"Okay!" Wang Shouren stood up impatiently, "I'll go tell my father right now."
He took two steps, but then paused, "Um, when will the person you are waiting for arrive?"
"This... I can't tell, but it won't take long."
"Well... okay." Wang Shouren nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye, niche."
"Walk slowly."
~
Li Qing stretched and looked up to see that it was almost noon. He got up and rushed to the palace...
'Hey, good guy, what's going on? '
Looking at the civil and military officials kneeling at the palace gate, Li Qing looked puzzled: Could it be that something big happened again?
He ignored the group of kneeling people, handed over the jade token, and hurried into the palace...
Qianqing Palace, inner hall.
Zhu Jianshen was leaning on the bedside and taking a nap. When he saw Li Qing come in, he raised his hand and waved the slave away, then turned over skillfully.
"let's start."
"Pah~" Li Qing slapped his butt and asked, "Do you know that hundreds of officials kneel at the palace gate?"
"I know." Zhu Jianshen half-propped himself up and turned to glare at him, "You're getting more and more wanton."
Li Qing didn't answer and asked, "What happened?"
"What else could it be? The passing of the crown prince." Zhu Jianshen snorted.
Li Qing was surprised: "They... don't agree?"
"Do you think it's so easy to give up the choice?" Zhu Jianshen said in a deep voice, "I said, the emperor doesn't do whatever he wants to do, and he doesn't do it if he doesn't want to do it. This is not playing house..."
"That shouldn't be the case. With your popularity, they..."
"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Jianshen was a little excited and then coughed.
Li Qing quickly got used to it and comforted him: "Okay, great, okay, great..."
After he stopped coughing, Li Qing sighed softly: "It seems that I treated them too badly."
At this moment, he was actually a little relieved.
"Then what should we do now?" Zhu Jianshen frowned and hummed: "Please think of a way for me quickly."
"..."
Zhu Jianshen is the uncle now, and Li Qing can only tolerate him.
"Don't worry, they are not that miserable, but they are not that noble either." Li Qing said with a smile, "They worked hard and fought for it, but if the emperor is determined to do so, they can only do it, and they will not feel guilty. , the face is still bright.”
"You mean...if I just make up my mind, they will agree?"
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "What do you think? Do you really think they can't bear to let you go?"
"You...cough cough cough..."
"No more, no more..." Li Qing helped him calm down, and after a while, he said, "Let's start acupuncture."
"hold head high."
Zhu Jianshen lay down again, "Um...before I leave, I want to see Zhen'er."
Why are you so busy... Li Qing nodded: "Okay."
"Um……"
After a moment of silence, Zhu Jianshen said again: "Sir, I have thought a lot these days, and I have figured it out. I am the Son of Heaven, and I cannot ignore the country and the country of my ancestors because of personal selfishness."
Li Qing paused and said in surprise: "Have you really figured it out?"
"Figured out."
"Huh~" Li Qing said happily: "You really didn't disappoint me, you are so... great, be a good emperor, you can do it, you are great!"
In his extreme excitement, Li Qing was so arrogant that he couldn't even praise others.
Zhu Jianshen rolled his eyes, "When did I say I would continue to be emperor?"
"Ah?" Li Qing was stunned for a moment, then got angry: "You're kidding me, right?"
"Huh?" Zhu Jianshen frowned and pretended to cough.
Li Qing: "..."
Suppressing his anger, Li Qing hummed: "What on earth are you thinking?"
"The prince is benevolent and filial, but he is also benevolent and weak." Zhu Jian sighed deeply, "Well, you have also seen that I worked hard to death, and he took over rashly. Do you think he can do a good job?"
Li Qing nodded slowly, "Go on."
"I am indeed tired and tired." Zhu Jianshen said, "But I can't completely give up my game..."
After a pause, "My idea is to go out and relax. I promised Zhen'er that I would take her out for sightseeing. Although she is gone now, I don't want to make a mistake. Just like you said, I will take her with me." My last wish is to experience the wonderful rivers and mountains on her behalf."
Zhu Jianshen said: "After relaxing, I have to come back. I will be in charge. Even if I don't care about the actual situation, I can still shock people's hearts."
Li Qing praised: "This is a good idea. You have thought it through very carefully. The prince's character is a bit lacking, but he is also benevolent and filial. In this way, even if you abdicate, you can still intervene in the affairs of the state when big things happen."
What a sensible child... Li Qing was more gentle when applying acupuncture.
At the same time, he also transferred his true energy to offset his discomfort.
…
As Li Qing expected, the ministers knelt for three days. Seeing that the emperor still refused to take back his orders, they got down the slope and went back to work on the grounds that official duties could not be suspended for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhu Jianshen issued another decree to let the prince succeed to the throne.
This time, the ministers did not object.
They have worked hard and fought for it. Father Jun insists on this, so they can't be blamed.
Zhu Youtang ascended the throne.
In order to express dissatisfaction and show that it abides by etiquette, the Ministry of Rites deliberately made the enthronement ceremony very sloppy.
This wave, Zhu Youtang is not a human being inside and outside.
He couldn't blame the Ministry of Rites for being rude, and he couldn't blame him. This was a reflection of the Ministry of Rites' loyalty to his father, and he had no reason to blame him.
'It's hard to be an emperor...! '
Zhu Youtang, who had just taken over the throne, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Father, you have caused such suffering to my son and ministers!"
Kunning Palace.
Queen Mother Zhou was almost dizzy with anger and shouted: My son is confused!
Concubine Chen, Concubine De, Concubine Hui... a group of concubines also wanted to cry without tears, and were full of sorrow.
They understood that they would be moving soon. The new emperor was a young man in his eighteenth year, so he did not want to have many concubines.
Of course, they won't be kicked out. They still have a stable place to live and have no worries about food and clothing. It's just... that a good place has to be freed up.
On the surface, Concubine Ji Shu became the biggest beneficiary, but she was not very happy. On the contrary, she had some intentions.
There is no better person to know a son than a mother. She knows her son well, in terms of general plans, talents, and skills...none of which are as good as the emperor's husband.
The emperor's husband was just ill, and Wan Zhen'er's death was a huge blow to him. He was depressed for a while, but there was no guarantee that he would give up someday.
At that time...if the emperor's husband wants to return to the throne, then his son will be in danger.
That is the throne of the Ninth Five Supreme Beings!
She didn't think the emperor's husband would be so free and easy. Once that happened, it wouldn't be unusual for her son to be deposed or even killed.
In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong killed three sons in one day, and all of them were made into dramas...
Concubine Ji Shu did not want her son to take over the throne. She wanted her son to be a good prince and wait until his husband was the emperor for eternity before he could naturally take over the great treasure.
However, how could she speak to others as a woman?
Qianqing Palace.
"Stop crying, I...ahem, am I not dead yet?"
"emperor……"
"Call me the Supreme Emperor."
"..." Concubine Ji Shu cried, "Your Majesty, you should let Youtang become the crown prince again, please."
Zhu Jianshen snorted coldly: "How can an emperor become a prince again? What do you think this is, playing house?"
"But... Youzhang still has shortcomings and needs to be sharpened..."
"Stop talking." Zhu Jianshen interrupted her, "This matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed. Otherwise, where will the dignity of the court be?"
After a pause, his tone slowed down, "I know what you're worried about, isn't it that you're afraid that one day I'll want to kick Youtang again?
Don’t worry, I will never! "
Zhu Jian breathed a deep sigh of relief, took her hand, and said warmly: "Zhi Zi Mo Ruo Mu, you know You Tang's temperament best. If I really let go this time, do you think he can be a good emperor?"
"Youtang will do his best." Ji Shufei said.
"You can be a good emperor by trying your best?" Zhu Jianshen said with a bitter smile, "He lacks some abilities and character. It is for his own good to ascend to the throne early. I am still alive, so the government will not lose control."
After a pause, he sighed softly: "In this way, if I leave one day, he won't be at a loss, right?"
"Don't say anything unlucky." Concubine Ji Shu covered his mouth with her hand. Immediately, she realized that she was too presumptuous, and she was about to kneel down to apologize.
Zhu Jianshen grabbed her and said with a chuckle: "Our husband and wife are not like this."
He held her in his arms and whispered soft words of love. She leaned in his arms and listened quietly, feeling excited and shy.
Gradually, her restless heart slowly calmed down.
"The Supreme Emperor..."
"Call me husband."
"Well..." Concubine Ji Shu's face turned red and she whispered: "Husband."
Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and scraped the tip of her nose affectionately. Feeling that the heat was almost done, he said, "Xiao Ji, can you do me a favor?"
How could Concubine Ji Shu withstand this? She was so happy that she almost fainted. At this moment, even if her husband asked her to jump off the cliff, she would do it without any frown.
"Sir, please tell me." Concubine Ji Shu leaned in his arms and said softly: "As long as I can do it, I will die without regrets."
"What are you talking about? How can my husband be willing to let you die?" Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, "It's very simple, just one sentence."
