At midnight, everything is quiet, a cool crescent moon hangs high in the dark night sky, stars are twinkling, and the cool night wind blows, bringing some coolness to the hot summer night.

It was a rare night for sweet dreams, but several places were brightly lit.

Among them, inside the Mingde Hall.

Looking at Master Jingxin sitting on the right side of Emperor Huiwen, and then at Sima Rui and four other brothers sitting on both sides of the lower head, as well as Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun, Qingyun didn't understand why his father treated them all after the dinner. Called to the Mingde Hall? The dinner was lively and smooth, and nothing happened. Could it be because of what happened at the lunch banquet? But everyone's expressions were calm, and it didn't seem to be the case.

Looking at Master Jingxin, Emperor Huiwen's eyes as deep as ink then passed over the crowd: "I have called you here tonight because I have something to announce." Seeing that everyone looked up at him, he continued: "I have decided Tomorrow morning the throne will be announced to Jiu'er, and the enthronement ceremony will be held on the eighteenth day half a month later."

After the words fell, the faces of everyone who seemed to have been mentally prepared remained as usual, and there was even a hint of relief and admiration in everyone's eyebrows.

Qingyun's expression was shocked, this incident was beyond her expectation: "Father is in his prime period, how could he suddenly want to take the Zen position?"

"In the past six months, I have always felt a little exhausted when dealing with political affairs. It seems that I will no longer be able to accept my old age." Emperor Huiwen sighed: "This world belongs to you young people after all, and it is time for me to protect the country and the country. I leave the heavy responsibility to you, so that I can enjoy my old age with peace of mind, and at the same time, I can take Concubine Yu around to see her, won't Jiu'er refuse to satisfy my little wish?"

Qingyun shook his head and nodded: "My father is willing to step down from his heavy responsibilities and take care of himself in his old age, and I naturally agree. However, I... I am a daughter, and I know that I have limited talents and limited abilities. I have betrayed my father’s favor and hope, so please think twice.”

She is just the adopted daughter who was kindly taken in by her father, and is not a true royal bloodline. How could her father think of passing the throne to her?

"Ninth Princess, there is no need to belittle yourself."

Understanding Qingyun's concerns, Han Jingwen said with a smile: "Not to mention that the Ninth Princess is the emperor's most beloved princess, just for so many years, the Ninth Princess has devoted her whole life for the stability and prosperity of the country and the peace and prosperity of the people, especially in curing the Nanyang epidemic this year. Resolving the crisis in the north, punishing the rebels and quelling the civil strife... all demonstrate the intelligence and wisdom of the Ninth Princess and the extraordinary strategic courage, which have already won the respect and support of the subjects across the country. The Ninth Princess is the emperor and believes that the subjects will I am sincerely convinced, please Ninth Princess, please don’t refuse.”

"What Taifu Han said is absolutely true. The Ninth Princess Bingxue is smart and kind-hearted. If the Ninth Princess succeeds to the throne, it will be a blessing to our country and the people of Jin!" Li Zhengxun nodded in agreement.

Sima Yue also looked excited and convinced: "Princess Wuyun of Zhou State is only one-tenth as talented and capable as Jiu'er. Even if she can ascend the throne and become emperor, Jiu'er is naturally fully qualified to be the king of a country! Anyway, I strongly agree with Jiu'er. Succession, where are you three brothers?"

After speaking, he looked at Sima Rui, Sima Qi and Sima Xian. The three of them smiled and nodded.

"Everyone agrees with Jiu'er's accession to the throne, so Jiu'er won't refuse anymore." Seeing his sons being so sensible, Emperor Huiwen was very pleased: "Or are you saying that Jiu'er doesn't want me to take the opportunity to be lazy and free?"

Qingyun shook his head repeatedly: "I don't mean that, I just think that my father should be one of my elder brothers. After all, these elder brothers are the orthodox members of the royal family, and their abilities and talents are all above that of my elders. It is only natural that my elder brothers should ascend the throne." , Only in this way can we avoid causing turmoil in the government and the public and unrest among the people. My father should be the one who best understands the dangers involved in the replacement of the throne. I don’t want to see any more disturbances in the newly stabilized situation. Please forgive me for your painstaking efforts."

Whether it was King Wen's rebellion or Gong Yuanhao's rebellion not long ago, they all caused serious consequences to the state of Jin. What's more, she is not of royal blood. Once she takes the throne, you can imagine what kind of uproar will be caused. This is what she least wants to see.

Before Emperor Huiwen said anything, Sima Yue said anxiously: "Jiu'er knows it. Brother Bage, I just want to be a general on the battlefield. I don't have the ability and patience to deal with ministers every day and deal with so many memorials. Let’s forget it.”

"Jiu'er, don't look at me." Seeing Qingyun looking at him, Sima Xian waved his hand: "Sixth brother, I am kind-hearted and not decisive enough. I can barely make do as an assistant minister. Moreover, I promised Wanting that I would accompany her throughout our country. Visit mountains and rivers, visit places of interest everywhere, if I sit in that position, not only will I not be able to make our country stronger and more prosperous, but I will also not have time to spend with Wanting. Can Jiuer bear the heart to see Brother Liu and me break my trust with you, Sister-in-law Liu Huang?"

Sima Qi gently shook his expensive folding fan and said slowly: "I am only interested in doing business. Jiu'er, don't count on Fifth Brother and me."

"Jiu'er is the best emperor!" Sima Rui, as usual, cherished words like gold, but firmly stated his attitude.

Seeing that his beloved daughter was hesitant to speak, Emperor Huiwen took her hand and said seriously: "Jiu'er doesn't know something. For so many years, I have known that Lin Bingquan's party harbored evil intentions, but I have never been able to eliminate them. I feel deeply ashamed of the Sima family." of ancestors;

On the contrary, Jiu'er calmly cut off his hands and feet again and again, weakening his power, which made me feel inferior;

Now, except for Chu Yunyi and Princess Wuyun, the emperors of other countries are very afraid of Jiu'er after hearing about Jiu'er's great achievements. On the surface, peace is maintained, but once the new emperor succeeds to the throne and Jiu'er is no longer in charge of the court, those people will It will definitely wait for the opportunity to cause trouble, which will bring disaster to the country and the people;

For the sake of the peace of the country and the people, and in order to fulfill the responsibilities inherited by the emperors of the Sima family, I made this decision after careful consideration. I hope that Jiuer can shoulder the heavy responsibility of serving the country and the people, and give the innocent people a peaceful and peaceful life. Jiuer Can you promise me?"

After hearing this, Qingyun's heart became a little heavy.

My father is right, everyone in the world is innocent, and a wise person in power should protect his people at all costs.

And she loved Chen Yu so much that she originally planned to leave everything behind and travel around the world with Chen Yu after persuading her father to marry them, enjoying the few remaining days to the fullest. By then, the country would be stable and the people would live and work in peace and contentment. Then Chen Yu and Chen Yu can go to hell together without any worries, and will no longer need a relationship in the next life.

His father must have guessed that she would live and die with Chen Yu, so he entrusted her with such a heavy responsibility to keep her from letting go easily.

But his father didn't know that she didn't have much time left...
