Chapter 64: Finale
"Since ancient times, it has been a good thing for the foreign relatives to be too powerful in the initial stage of the succession. Once you reach that position, your wife's family is no longer under your control. He Taiwei is now fifty-five years old. He privately seized the right to cast iron for you, but at the last minute, he returned it to the government. Do you know why?"
King Jing was shocked, it turned out that his father knew everything. His father-in-law had wanted him to take charge of the Ministry of War, but the military power of the Chitian Kingdom has always been controlled by generals who have fought in the battlefield. Although his father-in-law was a general, he was old enough to retire after all, and only one-tenth of the military power fell into his hands, the rest was in his father's hands.
His father-in-law only had the title of Grand Marshal or General.
Swallowing the bitterness in his mouth, he said, "I don't know."
"That's because your father-in-law discovered the new breeding when he was inspecting Jiangdong. Just a few days ago, he came to see me in person and confessed his stupid behavior."
King Jing began to tremble and wanted to explain.
Emperor Rong waved his hand, "You don't need to explain. I don't blame you. Your father-in-law saved the lives of the He family at the last moment, and also saved your glory. Although you have only been trained once, I know you are not suitable for that position. You are suitable for expanding the territory. Among all my sons, you are the most cunning and treacherous, and you are the most courageous. You are a general, not a king."
"Take the troops in your father-in-law's hands and go to where you should go. I am waiting for you to make achievements."
It only took King Jing one night to go from being terrified to being relieved. He glanced at the Emperor Rong who was sitting on the throne. His father's eyes were full of tolerance and love. He finally let go of his worries and said, "I will not let you down."
Rong Zhuo remained silent from beginning to end, but Emperor Rong would not allow him to remain silent again, "You should also understand what I mean. What a monarch values is a heart. All the ministers have already submitted. Third brother, are you still going to refuse?"
Rong Zhuo looked at the three people in front of him for a long time, and finally lowered his head, "I will never let you down. Thank you for everything you have done for me."
Emperor Rong's eyes finally turned red. "No matter who among the three of you sits in that position, father will do this for him. Since ancient times, it has been rumored that the royal family is ruthless, but starting from father's generation, the late emperor put an end to this rumor. If you want the royal family to be ruthless, you have to convince others with virtue and let your brothers voluntarily submit. I will watch your growth and see if you can make your brothers willing to be king."
Rong Zhuo kowtowed solemnly, "Your son will follow your instructions."
The imperial edict appointing the crown prince was posted everywhere the next day.
Although Chu Sishui knew it was almost the same, he still became excited after listening to the imperial edict read by Chang Jichang.
I felt a little dizzy from the excitement.
Rong Zhuo saw it all and waited for Eunuch Chang to return to the palace after receiving the reward.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought good news that the Crown Princess is pregnant.
The Emperor Rong smiled happily, which was a rare occasion. He immediately asked Chang Jichang to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get some jade stones as gifts for the third son's wife.
Chu Sishui was lying down reading a book at the time. When Eunuch Chang Jichang came over carrying two boxes of jewels, even Rong Zhuo, who usually had a calm expression, felt that the reward was too much.
Chang Jichang, "Not much. The emperor said that this is a blessing for the prince. A new life is born right after the crown prince is appointed. It is also a blessing for the royal family."
So the blessed prince agreed with this statement for the first time and rewarded Chang Jichang again.
Chu Sishui said, "It's rare to see you so happy. I think Eunuch Chang is grinning from ear to ear."
Rong Zhuo, "You are the blessing that I have received. How can I not be happy? I just hope that you can give birth to the baby safely."
Chu Sishui thought that giving birth in this era was indeed a walk through the gates of hell, but she had the medicine from the Space Spirit Spring, so she would not lose her life no matter what.
"Don't worry, there are midwives in the palace. When the baby is five months pregnant, you can just ask a few of them to come over."
Rong Zhuo's heart was filled with tenderness. He didn't say a word and just hugged her quietly.
The two of them cuddled together for a long time, and Chu Sishui suddenly thought of his legs, "Haven't you told father yet?"
Rong Zhuo, "I can only walk a few steps now. Let's talk about it after I fully recover."
Chu Sishui thought about it and it was okay. At least this would ensure his safe recovery. What if someone was so cruel...
The reforms of the New Deal involved many matters. On this day in the court session, Emperor Rong was listening to a report on the land-sharing system after the implementation of the New Deal, which aroused the support of the people. Although he was over fifty years old and could not be considered an emperor of all ages, it was still exciting for Emperor Rong to hear the praise of the people in his later years.
But he was so excited that he almost sprained his waist. Usually, the emperor would sit on the throne during court meetings and would not get down.
Today, when I heard that the new policy was going smoothly, I was so excited that I stood together with the ministers.
Emperor Rong slowly moved his stiff body. Just as he was about to find a support, a pair of arms supported him. "Father."
The court officials stared at the person who stood up with their eyes wide open. Prince Jing and Prince Duan on the side were so nervous that they dared not breathe. For a moment, they didn't know whether to help Emperor Rong or the Crown Prince.
After the prince took a few steps and helped the emperor back to his seat, everyone realized, "The prince's leg is healed!" '
Emperor Rong excitedly held Rong Zhuo's hand, "Third brother...you...you can walk now?"
Rong Zhuo returned to the group of ministers, knelt down and saluted, "Please forgive my son's deception. I was able to stand up three months ago, but I could only take a few steps at that time. I thought that when I can really stand up, I will come to report to you, father."
Emperor Rong suppressed the joy in his heart and said, "Child, you are always so calm..."
He then put away his emotions and said, "Now, God blesses my crown prince. Since ancient times, when God is about to bestow a great responsibility on a person, he must first make his mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his actions frustrated, so as to move his heart and endure his nature, and increase his ability to do what he was not able to do before."
"Now, the heavens have trained our Chitian's new crown prince. This is a blessing for Chitian and the people."
Therefore, this is a blessing for Chitian and the people, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has once again become famous in Chitian.
Become a myth in the hearts of the people.
After reading the folk adaptation of Rong Zhuo, Chu Sishui smiled at the person holding the pregnancy-preserving medicine, "It turns out that Xiaoyueliang is really a god from heaven."
Rong Zhuo glared at her and fed her the pregnancy-preserving medicine. "Although you are the crown prince now, you still need to be careful with your words."
Chu Sishui knew that he was pretending, so she leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I'll only tell you this in secret. But I have a question I've always wanted to ask Your Highness, God. When did you fall in love with me?"
Rong Zhuo glanced at her belly and for the first time felt that the pregnancy had lasted too long, causing her to act like this every day.
He thought about the Crown Princess' question for a while, and finally answered, "Probably the first time."
It was the first time someone told him to use lower limb therapy, the first time someone made him feel the warmth of his legs, the first time someone enlightened him, and the first time someone took him to the countryside for fun.
It was in these moments that he lost his heart, his soul, and also shackled her.
Sure enough, the Crown Princess bent over with laughter after hearing this.
Rong Zhuo hugged her and looked at the banyan tree in front of him. The summer heat had passed and the cool autumn was coming.
The sky was clear and orange, just like the pair of eyes he saw at the concubine selection banquet, pure and bright, giving him a sense of pursuit even in the darkness.
Because of the pursuit, he can get hope and sunshine again. He thinks that with her and the child by his side, the future years will be happy and warm.
