Chapter 320: His Majesty's Defense is Broken
Weiyang Palace.
Ambergris was burning in the gilded Boshan furnace, and ice jars were placed in the hall. Although it was early summer, it was not hot.
Su Qiyang looked at His Majesty in a bit of confusion. The Crown Prince was deposed for the second time, but His Majesty didn't seem sad at all?
Rong Yue looked at Su Qiyang with a smile, "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" He sat at the head of the golden nanmu chaise longue and asked directly.
Your Majesty, there is something very wrong with him.
Why are you looking at him like that?
Rong Yue is very satisfied now. His Chen'er will definitely not settle accounts with Su Qiyang and will be able to truly continue to implement his reforms.
But he spoiled her too much. The position of crown prince was right in front of him, but he just didn't want to have a second child, which made him so angry.
"Ziyun." Rong Yue smiled and wanted to hold Su Qiyang's hand to tell his true feelings, but Su Qiyang dodged him instantly, then stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I am very nervous, please just say what you want to say." This expression was too scary.
"I'm not a monster, why are you so afraid of me?" Rong Yue was unhappy. Wasn't he good enough to Ziyun? He waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
Su Qiyang was a little nervous, and the next moment he heard the emperor's voice, "I intend to make Chen'er the crown prince." Su Qiyang did not stand up and bow, but knelt down directly.
Your Majesty, why does he act so unconventionally?
He thought His Majesty would appoint a third crown prince!
Why so fast?
"Su Ziyun! Did you do this on purpose?" Rong Yue was unhappy. Why was he so distant from him?
Doesn't he want Su Ziyun to persuade Chen'er because he trusts him?
"Your Majesty, I dare not." He knelt on the carpet, lowered his eyelashes, and did not dare to look up.
How come he has never seen this scene before?
Prime Minister Su, who has always been eloquent, didn't know how to react.
How can there be such a fight for the throne?
Your Majesty, have you forgotten that he is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?
Rong Yue snorted coldly, he reached out and picked up the cup of Mingqian Longjing tea beside him and took a sip, "I called you here to ask you to persuade Chen'er that he doesn't want a second child." Su Qiyang raised his head quietly.
Rong Yue moved his fingers, motioning him to stand up, "Your Majesty, don't you want His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to take a concubine?" He even didn't hesitate to slap himself in the face and go back on his word?
Su Qiyang was actually a little worried. Although His Royal Highness Prince Yan was a love-brained person who would definitely not do that, he was afraid that his precious daughter would be sad after hearing it.
"You believe this? Did I say it myself? A gentleman's words are true. I didn't issue an edict." Rong Yue curled his lips, "I am very satisfied with Chaochao, and I don't want Chen'er to resent me for causing him and his wife to be separated. The girl Zhenzhen will hate me too then." Why do such a thankless task.
It is said that generations apart are close to each other, and he is no exception.
"My word is law, but having only one heir is not safe. It's not that I'm cold-hearted. You've seen You'er's situation. If I didn't have Chen'er, I don't know who would inherit the country." Rong Yue said this from the bottom of his heart.
Su Qiyang: ...
Is this something he could know?
"I don't blame Zhenzhen. I know the son I gave birth to myself, and he has nothing to do with Zhenzhen." He didn't know who his son Chen inherited his love-brain from, and he didn't want to have more children to divert Zhenzhen's attention.
Chen Er actually said this!
"Your Majesty, you are the father of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, and I am only his father-in-law. His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan does not listen to you, so my words are useless." Su Qiyang looked embarrassed.
never mind.
The battle between father and son.
Let them fight among themselves.
Anyway, Su Qiyang saw that in the end, His Majesty would definitely give in.
"You go and try. The moment I hear that they have a second child, I will make Chen'er the crown prince." Rong Yue left his words at that.
Su Qiyang: ...
Your Highness, Prince of Yan, you cannot be so arrogant because of your favor!
"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me." Su Qiyang sat at the head of the golden nanmu chaise longue, extended his hand in greeting, then sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of Mingqian Longjing tea. "Your Majesty, you are so kind to me," Su Qiyang couldn't help but say at this moment.
How lucky was he to meet such a wise and powerful monarch?
Rong Yue smiled slightly, "Su Ziyun, for so many years, you are my only close friend. If I can't even tell you my true feelings, I will be too lonely as an emperor." Fortunately, he still has Chen'er, who always regards him as a father, not the son of the emperor, and Su Qiyang, a close friend who shares the same ideals and beliefs as him.
Otherwise, as the emperor, he would have no one to whom he could speak his mind.
Su Qiyang was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears. "I am so lucky! I will be your Majesty's subject in the next life!" As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to wipe his tears.
He also took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Su family will not be an ignorant in-law. After the Single Whip Reform is implemented, I will resign." Otherwise, the Su family will be too powerful.
Rong Yue paused, "What are you thinking about all day? I don't trust you? Let other ministers who I don't know the details of to be my prime minister? You wish! I am fifty-seven and still working day and night, and you are only forty-seven!" He is not a fool. Su Qiyang is not a minister who is interested in power at all.
Su Qiyang was silent for a moment, "I want to retire at the age of 55. I promised my wife that after I retire and return home, I will travel around the world like my father-in-law and mother-in-law." He thought it was a good time for him to retire at the age of 55.
Rong Yue's defense was broken, "I won't give it to you!" He is already fifty-seven and still working!
He was stimulated by Su Qiyang, and then thought of his imperial tutor and his wife who had been traveling for five or six years and had not returned. They were so carefree.
His daughter Chen and his daughter Zhen Zhen also went out to play for two whole years.
Now even Su Qiyang is planning to retire and go out with his wife!
How could His Majesty Rong Yue, who had lost his wife, not be overwhelmed by this?
He's the only one who's alone, right?
You, the Su family and the Ye family, are going too far!
Are you so unattached to power?
Rong Yue let Su Qiyang roll smoothly, he needed to slow down.
However, it must be said that the reason why the Ye family and the Su family are so not greedy for power is that they have good family education and their descendants are capable. They have ideals and beliefs and work hard to leave their names in history.
The longer you stay in a position, the easier it is to lose your original intention in the end. It is better to relax yourself, enjoy the harmonious relationship between the ruler and his subjects, and enjoy your old age.
Rong Yue laughed and cursed, "What a den of foxes!" Why couldn't all his ministers be like the Su family and the Ye family?
If all the ministers were as smart, loyal, knowledgeable and interesting as them, Rong Yue couldn't imagine how happy he would be.
After Su Qiyang left the palace, he went directly to Prince Yan's Mansion.
It turns out that today is a day off, May 19th.
Su Zhenzhen and Rong Jinchen were playing on the swing with little Tangyuan in the back garden. Su Zhenzhen was holding little Tangyuan and Rong Jinchen was pushing from behind.
After hearing Gu Heng report that her father had arrived, Su Zhenzhen looked at Rong Jinchen behind her in confusion, "Husband?"
