After listening to Xia Ju's words, Ituma Shushu nodded and sighed, "Time flies!"
In the blink of an eye, Hongzhao's two sons were almost old enough to move into the princes' quarters.
Ah, I still vividly remember the scene when Hongzhao moved to the residence of the princes!
"It feels like only a short time has passed!"
At this moment, while massaging Ituma Shushu's shoulders, Dongmei whispered, "Hearing what the Empress Dowager said..."
"Even I, your humble servant, suddenly feel that time has flown by."
Xia Ju chimed in softly, "Time really does fly by!"
Next year, the eldest and second princes will move to the princes' quarters.
It will be the year after next!
The eldest and second princesses are also moving to the princess residence.
...
Two months later, Jiuzhou Qingyan.
After hearing what the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, said, Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao felt very heavy-hearted.
After a long while, he signaled to the Imperial Physician Sun, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, to leave.
Then, Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao proclaimed, "Little Yezi, prepare your carriage for tranquility and far-reaching goals."
"Ningjing Zhiyuan" is the place where the current retired Emperor Yongzheng resides.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Little Leaf quickly responded.
...
Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals.
...
The retired Emperor Yongzheng sighed and said, "Hongzhao, you have done very well over the past year."
The Emperor knew he hadn't made the wrong choice.
After pausing for a moment, the retired Emperor Yongzheng continued, "Hongzhao, you just said that you hope to be a wise ruler like your father."
Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao quickly leaned close to the ear of the retired Emperor Yongzheng and whispered, "Yes, Father Emperor."
"Father, you have always been the person I admire most."
The retired Emperor Yongzheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Your imperial father has not done enough!"
There's still so much for you to learn!
Many emperors in history have many qualities that we can learn from.
Do you remember Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, whom Father Emperor told you about before?
Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao quickly whispered, "Your Majesty, I remember that you were referring to Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, who initiated the 'Reign of Wen and Jing'."
The retired Emperor Yongzheng nodded and said, "Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, can be considered a teacher for all ages for us emperors."
Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao said softly, "Yes, Father Emperor, Emperor Wen of Han is also hailed as the greatest wise ruler of the three dynasties."
The retired Emperor Yongzheng said, "Yes, back in the Han Dynasty."
Not long after ascending the throne, Emperor Wen of Han realized that his top priority was to actively develop production.
Moreover, while vigorously developing production, he also set an example by spreading a simple lifestyle.
In terms of people's livelihood, Emperor Wen of Han adopted the policy of "the way to govern the people is to ensure their safety and well-being".
He prioritized the people in everything he did, and twice made great efforts to reduce the land rent of the people, turning the land rent into a tax of one-thirtieth.
Furthermore, in 167 BC, he reduced all land rent and corvée labor for the common people.
The retired Emperor Yongzheng paused for a moment before continuing, "Besides Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, there was also Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, he..."
Emperor Shun listened attentively, occasionally interjecting a word or two to discuss the matter with the retired Emperor Yongzheng.
Not long after, the retired Emperor Yongzheng fell asleep again while talking.
Afterwards, Emperor Shunhe Hongzhao sat next to the retired Emperor Yongzheng for a while before quietly standing up.
He then instructed his servants, including Su Peisheng, to take good care of the retired emperor.
Finally, Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao left the "Tranquility Leads to Far-Reaching Vision" (a concept in Chinese philosophy).
...
The next day, everything was peaceful and auspicious.
"Mother, Father's health is not very good."
Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao spoke with a heavy expression.
Ituma Shushu sighed and then said softly, "Yes, Mother and the Empress Dowager also sensed it."
A few days ago, when we were chatting with the Emperor Emeritus, he fell asleep while we were talking.
But he slept for much longer than before.
Ituma Shushu paused for a moment before asking softly, "By the way, Hongzhao, how many more days until the Eighth Prince returns to the capital?"
Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao said, "Mother, it will probably be another half a month or so."
Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu nodded, thinking to herself: Alas, Emperor Yongzheng's lifespan is now less than two months.
However, after the Eighth Prince returns, he can still spend some time with his father, the Emperor.
...
More than a month later, tranquility leads to far-reaching goals.
Emperor Shun and Emperor Hongzhao cried out, "Father, Father..."
Then came the heart-wrenching cries of Ituma Shushu and her mother, the Empress Dowager, "Emperor Emeritus..."
At this moment, the Third Prince Hongshi, the Fifth Prince Hongli, the Sixth Prince Hongzhou, the Eighth Prince Hongxu, Prince Guo Hongxuan, the Tenth Prince Honghao, and the Eleventh Prince Hongyao, who were waiting on the side, also burst into loud sobs.
"Father, Father, Father..."
...
Fifteen years later, Fengxiang and Anhe were prosperous.
At this moment, Ituma Shushu had just opened the "Dawn Mall".
She planned to give Empress Niohuru, the wife of Emperor Shunhe, a "daughter-giving pill".
Ever since Ituma Shushu gave the "Daughter-Giving Pill" to Princess Balin, wife of Prince Xian, she only had two "Daughter-Giving Pills" left.
That's right, the current Prince Xian is none other than the Eighth Prince Hongxu from back then.
However, all these years have passed, and Ituma Shushu has never touched these two "female-bearing pills".
The reason she chose to administer the "Daughter-Giving Pill" to Empress Niohuru of Emperor Shunhe today is because of this.
