Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 870: Seizing power and hurting people

The four words "prolonging life and longevity" may not have been so tempting to Yu Wenyuan a few years ago, but since he ascended the throne, the feeling of having power has indeed become more and more addictive. Emperors of all dynasties hope to make people feel like this. It has continued, so there are so many emperors seeking immortality, and even traveling overseas to seek the elixir of death.

Yu Wenyuan didn't think much about elixirs, but he could think about extending his life.

What's more, after the Battle of Longmendu, one of the two princes died and the other was injured, especially Dong Bizheng, who had been with him when he was a boy. The departure of such relatives and friends will make people feel the impermanence and fragility of life. You will also want your years to last longer.

He murmured: "Prolong life..."

Yu Wenzuo continued: "Since my father ascended the throne, I have been burning ointment and working hard day and night. Although the country is the most important, my father's dragon body is equally important."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Mingyue, who was sitting next to him, also said, "Yes, father, the prince is often worried about his father's dragon body, so he is particularly concerned about the new spring in Tangquan Palace."

After saying this, Yu Wenyuan was also really moved, so he said: "Why don't I want to take a rest and take good care of myself?"

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi on the other side looked at each other.

Before coming here, the two of them had made an estimate in their minds. The prince and the princess were too quiet these days, and they were too peaceful with each other, so they expected that the other party might say or do something at this family banquet, and it was necessary When the situation arises, the two of them will naturally have to deal with it.

However, asking Yu Wenyuan to go to Tangquan Palace to rest and recuperate - although they have been vaguely aware of each other's purpose, Yu Wen's words are reasonable and every word is related to love, especially when Yu Wenyuan's dragon body is mentioned, it is really uncomfortable. be opposed to.

Just when the two of them were hesitating, Yuwen said in surprise: "Father, why don't you put down your government affairs temporarily and go to Tangquan Palace to rest for a few days?"

Yu Wenyuan took a deep breath.

Although he was tempted, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he thought about it for a while, then frowned and said, "If I go to Tangquan Palace to recuperate, who should I leave the government affairs to?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire Liangyi Palace immediately fell silent.

Shang Ruyi's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly, but she still calmly picked some dishes and put them on Yu Wenye's plate, and both of them remained silent.

However, Yuwen Sui seemed to have expected this question, so he smiled and said: "Tangquan Palace is not far from the imperial city. It can be reached in half a day on horseback. If there is anything, the news will be transmitted immediately. Father, don't worry."

Yu Wenyuan said: "But there still has to be someone who can take charge of everything."

As he spoke, his eyes had moved from the prince's face to King Qin's face, and then from King Qin's face back to the prince's face.

Obviously the choice has already begun in my mind.

Yu Wenye suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, it's time for my father to take a rest. Fortunately, there are many important ministers in the court who can be entrusted to us."

When he heard him say "important minister", Yu Wenyuan also nodded.

In fact, when the emperor goes out to tour the palace, there have been rules in all dynasties. The government affairs left in the court must be handed over to others, that is, the supervisors. The candidates are either the close ministers of the court or the capable and prestigious princes. . The capable and trustworthy ministers around Yu Wenyuan were the ministers who supported him when he ascended the throne.

The minister’s servant shot Shen Shiyan, or the internal historian ordered Pei Shi...

As these people flashed through his mind, Yuwen Qian smiled and said, "It would be boring if Father traveled alone. He might as well find some old friends to accompany him. Speaking of which, there are several ministers in the court who are not young anymore. If we can grant them hot springs, it would not only reward these meritorious ministers, but also show Father's great grace."

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenyuan's expression condensed slightly.

Yu Wenzu's words were certainly reasonable, but what he was thinking of was Duke Shenwu, who was close to him in age and was once the closest to him. Unfortunately, people cannot be resurrected after death, and no matter how great the emperor's favor is, they cannot fall on him.

Thinking of this, the sadness in my heart turned into regret and overflowed with tenderness. He sighed softly, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Let's do this. I will visit Tangquan Palace in three days and ask Duke Wushan, Shangshu Pushe, and Neishiling. Also, I will call that old man Ji Hong. "Okay. These people are old, so let them bring their relatives and enjoy the happiness with me."

Yu Mingyue stood up in a hurry, kowtowed to Yu Wenyuan and said, "My son, I would like to thank my father for his kindness!"

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand: "Get up quickly."

Seeing her bowing down, Shang Ruyi had no choice but to stand up and say, "My son, I also thank my father for his grace on my uncle's behalf."

After saying that, she looked at Yu Wenyuan hesitantly: "It's just——"

At this time, she had fully understood the significance of Yu Wenzhen's move, and asked Yu Wenyuan to visit Xingtangquan Palace for a few days. Although it was not far away, any news could be passed on at any time, but the court still needed someone to supervise the country, and his candidate was It was nothing more than important ministers and princes, but Yuwen Zui asked the emperor to bring several older ministers with him, so that all the candidates for the important ministers were empty.

The only people I can trust are him and Yuwen Ye!

As for the prince and the king of Qin, there is almost no need to choose. After all, the prince will inherit the throne in the future. Letting him supervise the country at this time is the first step for all princes to take over the imperial power. With this step, Yu Wenye will no longer be in trouble. He fought against him in court.

Therefore, Shen Wuzheng's guess was correct. He was neither guilty of seizing power nor hurting others!
Although Shang Ruyi intuitively wanted to refuse this gift for Shen Shiyan, as long as Shen Shiyan stayed, the responsibility of supervising the country would most likely fall on him, but he could not say it out.

After all, this is a gift from the emperor, and you can feel it by looking at his expression. This is not a gift between the king and his ministers, but a pity between the elders.

If they really refuse, it will not only make Yu Wenyuan sad, but also make him wary of what they want to do!
But Yu Wenyuan had already heard her last two words: "But what?"

Shang Ruyi suddenly panicked. Although the cold wind was howling outside, her back was covered with cold sweat, almost soaking her close-fitting clothes. Suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she said solemnly: "However, so many people are going to Tangquan Palace all of a sudden, and the renovation has just been completed there. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, but it will defeat my father's interest."

As she said that, she lowered her head and glanced at Yu Wenye.

Yu Wenye immediately said: "Yes, in my opinion, someone who is familiar with Tangquan Palace must accompany you to make arrangements, so that everything can be done properly and live up to your father's interest."

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Yu Wensu across from him: "Brother and sister-in-law just said that when you went to Huashan, you stopped at Tangquan Palace. You must be very familiar with it."
