The emperor choked.
He looked at Yan Hui and said, "What's wrong with you ascending the throne earlier? I can also leave the palace and go to the palace for a walk."
Yan echoed: "I feel that my father can continue to maintain the foundation of our ancestors for another two years. I am really not that eager to take the throne."
The emperor was a little angry, "Do you blame me for treating you..."
"If we say it's strange, it was there before, but now..." Yan shook his head in response, "It's not strange."
"Then give me a reason." The emperor did not expect Yan Huisheng to refuse. Although he was somewhat reluctant to part with the throne, he was not so persistent now.
Yan Huihui sighed, "Father, there are a lot of things going on in the government and the public right now. I don't have much time to deal with your abdication and my ascension to the throne. This matter can be put aside first."
The emperor reluctantly accepted this reason, "Okay, let's talk about it later."
The father and son reached an agreement on the matter, and the emperor mentioned Su Rong, "I just heard that Su Rong and Zhou Gu are married. When will she ascend the throne?"
Yan echoed: "One year later."
The emperor wondered, "Why doesn't she ascend the throne?"
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor and said, "If the preparations for the wedding and the enthronement go together, she won't have to be busy with other things this year. Things are in chaos in Southern Chu, and court affairs are piled up. She won't have time!"
The emperor thought about it. He understood Yan Huisheng a little bit. Now he is not in a hurry. He also wants to develop his national strength first. Although the Wei Dynasty was seriously damaged after this war, the national strength of Daliang and Nanchu was almost the same as that of the whole country. After fighting hard against the Wei Dynasty, although he won and received compensation for ceding territory, he was actually not much better. Only he knew what his internal strength was. It's all his fault that he has been blinded by a leaf over the years, which has affected the country's strength.
The emperor had nothing to say. He lowered his voice and confessed to Yan Hui, "I am indeed a little weak mentally and physically. I often have headaches. It has been for several years. Since you are not in a hurry to ascend the throne, I will allow you to oversee the country and be the regent. You make the decision in everything. That’s good.”
Yan Huisheng knew that the emperor had a headache, but he kept it secret. He also pretended not to know. Hearing this, he whispered: "What did the imperial doctor say?"
The emperor sighed, "The imperial doctor said that I have a migraine and there is nothing I can do about it. Don't overwork or think too much."
Yan Hui nodded, "I understand, my father needs to work less. Don't worry, you only sit in this position. I will do my best to take care of you as much as possible so that you can work less."
The emperor was relieved. He was also tired of hiding this secret. He didn't feel that Yan Huisheng didn't know it before, but now that he said it himself, it was different. He felt a lot more relaxed. He reached out and patted Yan Huisheng on the shoulder, "Su Rong Rong and Zhou Gu are about to get married, and they are a few years younger than you. After they are busy for a while, let your mother hold a flower-viewing banquet to find a princess for you!"
Yan responded: "There's no hurry."
The emperor glared, "How can you not be anxious? You have an heir, and you can have a grandson while your mother and I are still strong enough. The old Protector of the Kingdom is ready to have a great-grandchild with sweets, and now I don't even have a child." No trace of them was seen."
He thought of Yan Li and Yan Lin, the two sons. Their wedding was short and they had no heirs. Ning Yao did have Yan Li's heirs in his belly at first. He was open to the idea, but it is said that he was still pregnant when he returned to Nanping Hou. Well, the prince has no intention of getting married, how can he not be anxious?
He used to not want the prince to choose a noble girl with the support of his wife and family, wouldn't he be able to suppress her? But things are different now, he still hopes that he will marry a noble girl.
Before Yan Huihui could speak, he said to him: "Let's do this. Your mother and I will go back and discuss it. I think the fifth young lady from the Duke Protector's family is suitable." Yan Huihui sighed. He was more interested in Miss Wu Wu. Familiar, after all, he goes to the Protector's Palace several times a year, or every year at the palace banquet, he will see Miss Friday when she enters the palace. He knows that she is a pretty good girl. In his position, it is impossible not to establish a prince. The concubine's, if it is her, it is indeed suitable.
But Miss Friday was not a girl trained by the Protectorate since she was a child to enter the palace in the future. If she did not fancy the position of the future queen, but only the love and joy in her heart, he knew very well that he would not be able to give it to her.
A person's heart is only that big. It can hold the world, and then add a little love, and it will be full. Especially his little love, he doesn't want to get rid of it, he just keeps it in his heart. Even if it never sees the light of day, what does it matter?
"Why don't you say anything? You don't agree?" The emperor frowned, "Miss Friday is very good."
Yan echoed: "My son has no intention of getting married now."
The emperor disagreed, "Forget it, I'd better go find your mother! If you wait for you to choose someone by yourself, I'm afraid I won't even be able to wait until the day I lay down in the coffin."
He waved his hand to chase Yan back, "Go and do your work! I'll go find your mother."
Yan Hui nodded, turned around and left.
He is not afraid that his father and mother will make their own decisions. No one can influence his marriage. Moreover, his mother knows who he has in mind, and she will not make decisions for him easily.
Sure enough, when the emperor saw the queen and told her about Yan Huisheng's marriage and told her to take care of it, the queen paused while pruning flowers and asked, "Does your majesty have anyone chosen?"
"What do you think of the fifth lady of the Protector's Palace?" the emperor asked.
The queen thought for a while, and although she also thought Zhou Yun was good, she and Yan Huisheng considered the same place. The so-called Zhizi Mo Ruomu, he had fallen in love with Su Rong at first sight, and when he saw the little girl again, he was also enamored of the little girl. Although he restrained himself and suppressed it, there was nothing he could do. Doing it doesn't mean he gives up. The more people know that they can't ask for it and don't ask for it, the more they will take it to heart.
He is the Crown Prince, the future Emperor of Liang. He falls in love with a woman and does nothing. She only takes it into consideration and doesn’t take up any space. It doesn’t really matter. But the key is that the Queen must be generous, or in other words, even if she is not generous, The degree doesn't matter, but it can't be someone related to Su Rong. Today's Miss Wu is Zhou Gu's cousin, so it's not suitable.
So, she said to the emperor: "Zhou Yun is not suitable, what other candidates do you have?"
The emperor looked at the queen in confusion, "Why is Zhou Yun not suitable? The lintel is suitable and her appearance is outstanding."
Naturally, the queen would not say that the prince had Su Rong in mind, so she could only find an excuse, "The mother's family is too strong, that is, the relatives are powerful. Although I heard that the old protector had filed a lawsuit against him, the Duke's palace has It is still not appropriate for the crown prince and the two young masters to hold military power."
The emperor said: "It is precisely because of the military power that we need to marry to consolidate the country."
“There are still two unmarried young masters in the Duke’s palace. Your Majesty will marry a princess.” The Queen said: “When my eldest aunt married the old Duke, decades passed by. Isn’t it great?”
The emperor thought about it and was persuaded by this reason, "Well, I asked, and the prince seems not to be happy, so that's it. After a while, you hold a flower-viewing banquet to choose another person for the prince. Don't choose the Lord Protector. There are also Prince Ruian’s Palace, Duke Chengguo’s Palace, Prime Minister’s Palace, Yong’an Marquis’ Palace, and Princess Qingping’s Palace to choose from.”
The queen nodded and felt that Su Rong and Zhou Gu were about to get married. It was time for the prince to marry the princess. She could no longer let him not marry a wife. "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
The emperor was satisfied and asked: "Before selecting a candidate, you still have to discuss it with the prince. I can't get anything out of him. He has always been close to you, so please bother."
