After Song Ren and others left the palace, Song Ming immediately called his most respected ministers, such as Jiang Ge Lao and Yan Shangshu, into the palace to discuss the establishment of a heir apparent and the establishment of vassal status among several princes.

Song Ren had a very stable temperament. Although his father had decided to make him the crown prince, he did not intend to tell anyone until the imperial edict was issued.

When he returns home in the evening, he still washes his face and changes clothes first, then eats with his wife and children, and checks the homework of the three brothers and sisters after the meal.

After the inspection, Song Ren returned to Lanxinyuan.

Song Ren was very enthusiastic that night, and Xie Rou could feel that he was in a good mood. When sending him out the next day, Song Ren suddenly kissed her on the face. Xie Rou blushed instantly and gave him a shy look.

A smile flashed in Song Ren's eyes and he took the car to the Yamen.

Xie Rou touched the place where she was kissed, and felt that Song Ren was a little weird.

After the morning session that morning, Xie Yuan was called to the imperial study room.

Looking at the imperial study room so close at hand, Xie Yuan took a deep breath, knowing that there was still a tough battle to be fought next.

Song Ming looked at Xie Yuan, still very gentle, and smiled at him, and then he asked a fatal question.

"Zijing, is it time for me to establish a heir apparent?"

Xie Yuan could clearly feel the malice in Song Ming's words. He stared closely at him with sharp eyes. Xie Yuan remained calm and composed, and answered the questions intelligently.

"Your Majesty, you have been too tired these years. Since you came to the throne, you have been working hard and conscientiously for thirty years. Even if you are sick, as long as you can get up, you will never leave the court, and the memorials from various places will never be forgotten. Spent two days in the cabinet.

You are rich all over the world, but you never enjoy it. All you think about is the people of the world. It is precisely because of this that we, Da Chu, are in the prosperous age now.

But Your Majesty, human energy is limited. Even an old cow plowing the fields can still rest after working hard for several days. But look at you, for thirty years, you have worked so hard for this world. In this case, you really need someone to share the burden for you. "

Xie Yuan looked at the Holy Emperor's eyes and gradually regained his gentleness, and continued: "There are many and complicated things in the court, and there are always some small things that you don't need to worry about. If you have a prince, he can handle these complicated things for you. Your Majesty only needs It’s a lot easier when you need to be at the helm.”

When Xie Yuan said this, Song Ming had a slight smile on his face.

"Zijing, you master and disciple all have a clever tongue, that's all, step back!"

Xie Yuan respectfully exited the Yangxin Hall and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief. After such a while, the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

He knew very well that Song Ming called him into the palace today just to find an excuse to attack him. Fortunately, he passed the test.

In the evening, Xie Yuan held his wife in his arms and told her that the Holy Emperor was likely to enthrone the prince in the near future.

Jiang Mingyue leaned into her husband's ear and whispered, "Is he the wise king?"

Xie Yuan did not answer his wife directly but said: "We will wait patiently for a few days and we will have the results."

What neither of them expected was that the results would come out so quickly.

The next day in the court hall, when the ministers had nothing to report, Song Ming winked at Eunuch Hai.

Hai Dagui took out the imperial edict.

The first imperial edict was to appoint the virtuous king as the crown prince. The imperial edict first talked about the merits of the virtuous king in a clichéd way, and then praised the virtuous king fiercely.

After listening to the imperial edict, Song Min lowered his head in frustration and decadence. It was not until this moment that he realized that his father might have been interested in Lao Wu for a long time.

The original support for him and the boss was probably just to balance the situation in the government. No wonder the boss has been careless in these years. He may have seen all this clearly. Song Min thought he was smart, but he didn't know until now that he was the real fool.

The second imperial edict was to confer the titles of King Qing and King Rui. It clarified the fiefdoms of the two of them. One fiefdom was in Shuiman Kingdom and the other was in Wusu. They were ordered to leave the capital within half a month. This was equivalent to directly driving them out of Dachu. . When the imperial edict came down, the ministers were in an uproar.

Even Xie Yuan was a little surprised, but he soon understood the profound meaning of the Holy Emperor. Xie Yuan slightly raised his head and looked at Song Ming, who was sitting on the dragon chair. Who said that the Tian family has no selfless feelings? The people were driven out of Dachu, but their lives were also saved.

They all know that if they stay in Kyoto, Song Cheng and Song Cheng will only die in the future. This is not because Song Ren has no tolerance for others. For the sake of the stability of the court, he can only do this.

Furthermore, the canonization by the Holy Emperor in this way is equivalent to giving King Qing and King Rui a chance to become emperors. This is a really good move.

What Xie Yuan thought of, Song Ren and Jiang Ge also naturally thought of it. They exchanged glances with each other and knelt down, shouting that the Holy Spirit was wise.

Song Cheng and Song Min's faces were pale and without a trace of blood. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only accept the order because none of them dared to disobey their father.

After going to court, Song Ming led his five sons to the imperial study.

Xie Yuan walked out of the palace with the ministers and whispered a few words to Zhou Bin when he boarded the car.

Half an hour later, in Yuqian Hutong, Jiang Mingyue heard Zhou Bin's reply and couldn't help but smile.

At the same time, what happened in the court quickly spread in Kyoto, and for a while some people were happy and some were worried.

In the Hanlin Academy, Jiang Minghong smiled when he learned that Song Ren had become the prince. Although it was a few years later than in his previous life, what Song Ming handed over to him in this life was a prosperous Chu State. Before he could think about it, several Colleagues walked in.

After seeing off two waves of colleagues in a row, Jiang Minghong felt somewhat ups and downs in his heart. Sure enough, one person had achieved the Tao of chickens and dogs and ascended to heaven. Because of his brother-in-law, he actually became the target of everyone's fawning and friendship.

My sister and brother-in-law's place may be very lively in the future, and my brother-in-law's official position should be promoted soon.

In the palace, Song Ren and Song Cheng stayed in the imperial study for most of the day. No one knew what the six father and son talked about. They only knew that when Song Cheng and Song Min left the palace, their faces had improved a lot. .

At dusk, Jiang Mingyue planned to wait for her husband to come back and celebrate. Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan sent Zhou Bin back to send a message that he would not have dinner at home.

Jiang Mingyue finished dinner with her children and accompanied them to the study room to read for a while, and then the three of them returned to the backyard.

After Tuanzi finished washing, he did not go back to the bedroom, but came to his sister.

Putao looked at her brother who was walking up to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tuanzi smiled flatteringly at his sister: "Sister, from now on, you can say more kind words for me in front of Cousin Hao."

Putao rubbed his head vigorously.

"It's time to get scared. When you teased him before, you weren't very tough."

"At that time, I didn't know that his father would become the prince." Tuanzi muttered softly.

Putao took back his hand, yawned and said: "Go back and rest early! Don't think about it, you are my brother. For this reason alone, he will not hurt you, otherwise you think you can fight him in the past few years. .”

After hearing this, Tuanzi felt reassured and hugged his sister with a bright smile. Apart from his father and the others, his sister was his thickest thigh in this life.

At this time, Xie Yuan finally returned home.

Jiang Mingyue saw that although he smelled of alcohol, his eyes were bright, and she knew that he was not drunk.

"Would you like some hangover soup?"

Xie Yuan shook his head gently, took off his coat, reached out and took his wife into his arms.

"Are you anxious to wait?"

Jiang Mingyue shook her head and looked at her husband with a warm smile: "Our sister is the princess!"

Xie Yuan said softly.

"I'm so happy!"

Jiang Mingyue knows what this means better than anyone else.

Xie Yuan kissed his wife's forehead.

"I'm glad too."

All the dedication and hard work he and his sister have put in over the years have paid off at this moment.

Starting from the next day, Xie Yuan and Jiang Mingyue received a mountain of invitations, and they suddenly became busy again.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, the temperature became lower and lower. Song Ming, who had been ill for several years, could not bear the severe cold, so he asked the prince to preside over the government on his behalf.

Before Song Ren took charge of the government, he specially chatted with Mr. Jiang Ge and met Xie Yuan in private.

Just when Song Ren was presiding over the government, Song Cheng and Song Min quietly left Kyoto.

Song Ming didn't have to go to court and had a lot of free time. He often invited Xie Yuan to accompany him in the palace, play chess, or tell Song Ming some interesting stories. Xie Yuan could tell during the chat that Song Ming was very satisfied with Song Ren, the prince.

I think so. After Song Ren finished his daily work, he would summarize the major events and report them to Song Ming. During the process of asking for advice, he would pat the dragon's fart for a while, and then chat with him to talk about his heart. He felt comfortable and in good spirits. , Naturally, Song Ren is very pleasing to the eye.

In this way, the government slowly transitioned to Song Ren's hands in an extremely smooth way.

It’s spring again in the blink of an eye, in March, it’s time for Xie Yuan, his younger brother Mu Xiu, and Jiang Mingyue’s family of four. Jiang Minghong, his daughter, and his wife made an appointment to go to Shangqing to watch the peach blossoms.

In the peach garden, Jiang Mingyue, Princess Qinghe, Cheng Susu and the children were picking peach blossoms, while Xie Yuan and Jiang Minghong were walking and chatting behind them.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that Mr. Jiang Ge once again asked the Holy Master to resign from the position of Minister of Household Affairs. Would he recommend you to take over his position?"

Xie Yuan nodded: "The results should be available in April."

Jiang Minghong smiled when he heard this: "Congratulations to brother-in-law first."

"We are all happy. You will be able to join the civil service department in June."

"Thanks to my brother-in-law for helping me."

He paused and asked: "Your Majesty went to Hengshan Academy again?"

Xie Yuan said "Hmm". Song Ming was now completely a hands-off shopkeeper. He ran to the study room whenever he had nothing to do. He played leaf cards and chess with Master and Aunt Wan. When he got interested, he would also give lessons to the students. After taking classes, I have passed my husband’s addiction, and I can say that I am living a very relaxed life now.

The master had previously sent word that Song Ming had completely looked away and was even thinking of giving up his position.

And with Song Ming's resolute and resolute nature, he might soon take action.

"Ms. Minghong, please come and help us pick peach blossoms together."

Xie Yuan looked at his wife who was wearing a wreath of peach blossoms and smiling like a peach blossom fairy, and walked towards her with a smile.

The cheerful laughter of children came from the depths of the peach forest, which was crisp and sweet.
