Husband and Father Youwei

The news that Ruan Tang was established as crown prince did not spread to the Zhaoqing Palace from the previous dynasty, but at the same time that Emperor Wucheng announced the decree in the court hall, Tang Jingyun came to the Zhaoqing Palace with the canonized imperial decree. He personally told Ruan Tang and Tu Lin.

Although they were aware of it before, neither of them really thought about it because it was too incredible. Now, what they thought was completely impossible actually happened, which made Ruan Tang and Tu Lin the first The reaction was disbelief.

"Dad, dad, how is this possible? Are you joking with me?" Ruan Tang said in amazement, although he didn't think the joke was funny at all, but at the moment he really hoped it was just a joke.

Tang Jingyun also knew that this matter was too sudden, and it was normal for Ruan Tang to be unable to accept it for a while, so he sat beside Ruan Tang, and said slowly: "This matter is that the emperor and I found out about the fact that you were poisoned at the beginning. It was decided at that time, but you were pregnant at that time, so I didn't tell you right away because I was afraid of irritating you."

As he said, Tang Jingyun took the imperial decree written by Emperor Wu Cheng, which was held by the palace people next to him, and handed it to Ruan Tang with the seal of the jade seal, saying: "This is the imperial decree, and the emperor has announced it in the court hall at this moment. You can’t do anything fake.”

Ruan Tang took the imperial decree and opened it to see that his name was clearly written on it, so he had to believe it, but now that it was confirmed to be true, Ruan Tang felt even more unbelievable.

"Why? I'm not of royal blood, how can I become a prince?" Ruan Tang held the imperial decree, feeling his hands trembling a little, suddenly, he thought of a possibility, and eagerly asked Tang Jingyun for proof: " Could it be that I am not father and mother's child, but father and emperor..."

Ruan Tang still couldn't believe that Emperor Wu Cheng would love his house so much that he would even give himself the throne as a stepson who had no blood relationship with him, unless he was actually the child of Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wu Cheng, but he couldn't make it public for some reason. After admitting it, he said that he was the child of Tang Jingyun and his wife.

Tang Jingyun didn't want to, but shook his head, denied Ruan Tang's guess, and said, "You are the flesh and blood of father and mother, and have nothing to do with the emperor."

Ruan Tang opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but for a moment he had nothing to say.Indeed, if he was really the child of Emperor Wu Cheng, he would have recognized him early in the morning, so how could he have waited until today, but looking at the imperial decree in his hand, he was completely at a loss as to what to do, and even faintly panicked in his heart.

The crown prince is the crown prince and the future emperor. Perhaps this seat is the most dignified lord of the world in the eyes of others, but Ruan Tang only feels as if there is an invisible mountain pressing on his shoulders... …

Seeing that Ruan Tang remained silent, but his face gradually became helpless and pale, Tang Jingyun couldn't help but sighed secretly, and even felt a trace of remorse. Perhaps, they should not have placed such a heavy burden on Ruan Tang.

Thinking of this, Tang Jingyun said: "Yuan'er, we decided this matter on our own, and we didn't ask you about it in advance. Fortunately, there is no room for change now, so... If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. ..."

Ruan Tang immediately wanted to say that he didn't want to, but when he met Tang Jingyun's inclusive and gentle gaze, and saw the fine lines that appeared in the corners of his eyes, although they were not obvious, he was blocked for some reason and couldn't speak out.

At this moment, he has completely recovered, and his thoughts have returned to reason. After a long silence, he asked Tang Jingyun: "Father, do you want me to be the crown prince?"

Tang Jingyun was slightly startled, he didn't expect Ruan Tang to ask him like this, his heart moved slightly, and after a while he said softly: "Father hopes that you will be safe and happy forever."

Ruan Tang fell silent again. He thought of the panic and fear when he was taken away from his father and family when he was young, and the anger and fear when he learned that his meal was poisoned. Thinking of what he had inquired about, the past events between Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wu Cheng...

"...I see." Ruan Tang finally spoke again. Although he didn't say yes or no, he didn't intend to return the imperial decree to Tang Jingyun.

He knew that all the decisions Tang Jingyun made must be for his sake, and Tang Jingyun hoped that he would be safe and happy forever, and he also hoped that Tang Jingyun would be the same.Even if becoming the Crown Prince would make him feel like he would be burdened by thousands of people, but since it was Tang Jingyun's wish, he would not let Tang Jingyun down.

Seeing that although Ruan Tang agreed, there was no excitement or joy on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly, looking a little dazed and dignified. Tang Jingyun couldn't tell what was in his heart. He suddenly thought that if he didn't know each other at the beginning, Ruan Tang may be able to live a much simpler life now, and he will not be almost poisoned to death. After all, it is him who is sorry for his child.

Tu Lin on the side remained silent. When he first heard Tang Jingyun's words and learned that Ruan Tang was made the crown prince by Emperor Wu Cheng, he was naturally a little dazed, but when he came back to his senses, he didn't think there was anything wrong. not good.No matter what Emperor Wu Cheng and Tang Jingyun thought, Ruan Tang becoming the crown prince was always harmless to them, and Ruan Tang himself was willing, so he naturally had no choice but to support him.

Ruan Tang became the crown prince of the Great Zhou and settled down like this. Originally, this was a completely impossible thing to happen, but under the willful and self-willed Emperor Wu Cheng who insisted on going his own way, coupled with the leadership of King Jingguo. With the support of all the honorable and noble families, the clan and princes led by Prince Su, the opposition voices of several veteran ministers in the court seem to be very slight, and there is no power to stop this matter at all, and they can only watch helplessly. The crown prince's canonization ceremony was held as scheduled.

As the heir of a country, the crown prince, with one person under ten thousand, the ceremonies are extremely complicated and grand. Fortunately, although Ruan Tang had only given birth to a son, several months of self-cultivation had already restored his body to its original state. Tang Jingyun explained and taught him in detail before the ceremony, and Ruan Tang was naturally calm, so the canonization ceremony was held very smoothly.

Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wucheng had no children, and they had never established a crown prince in the past. The East Palace where the crown prince lived was always vacant.Although Ruan Tang's family is used to living in Zhaoqing Palace, Zhaoqing Palace is not as spacious as the East Palace, and since Ruan Tang is the crown prince, he should have six Fu and select a number of subordinate officials, so that Zhaoqing Palace will be more convenient. It is not suitable to continue to live.

In addition to the change of residence, Ruan Tang, who became the crown prince, is also busier than before.He only went to school for a few years when he was young. Although he could read, he didn't have any profound knowledge. Especially for a prince, what he needed was not only knowledge, but also poetry, etiquette, loyalty, filial piety, and diplomacy in government and people's livelihood. National policies, etc., all need to be learned and mastered one by one.

And because Ruan Tang was the heir apparent that Emperor Wu Cheng really wanted, he didn't have a lot of suspicion and suppression of the prince like other emperors did. way.

Ruan Tang is not a dull-tempered person, otherwise it would be impossible for him to develop his family's business to the entire southern state capital in just a few years, and although he is not young, he is also more Mature and wise, he has been taught by Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wucheng, and has made extraordinary progress in a short period of time, and occasionally put forward some unique insights that surprised both Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wucheng, which made them amazed.

However, in the face of the admiration of the two, Ruan Tang felt a little ashamed, because he knew that the ideas he put forward that were beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood were only obtained through Tu Lin's experience in another advanced and developed world. That's all, not what he thought of himself.

It's just that this matter involved Tu Lin, Ruan Tang tried again and again, and after discussing with Tu Lin, he felt that there was no need for a special confession, so he decided not to tell Tang Jingyun about Tu Lin's unusual origin, so as not to cause trouble in vain .

Although Emperor Wucheng had no sons, the clan sons selected in the early years competed with each other for the reserve position, which caused a lot of turmoil, and many officials of the previous dynasty were also involved in it.Although everyone was thinking about it day by day, the battle for the heir apparent had been so brutal and bloody since ancient times, so they didn't find it unbearable.

However, after Ruan Tang became the crown prince, because no one could compete with him, the court no longer needed to form parties with each other because of seizing the heir, and there was less treachery, and the peaceful and stable scene that had not been seen for a long time was restored. , the same is true in the harem.Of course, it is not that there are no discordant voices at all.

Ruan Tang, who does not have the surname of Zhao, has become the sole heir of the Zhao family. Naturally, some people in the Zhao family are unwilling.But they already had no place in the court under the suppression of Emperor Wucheng, and the imperial guards led by Tu Lin guarded the palace tightly, so they had no chance to take advantage of it.

In the end, although they came up with the idea of ​​spreading rumors among the people, slandering the reputations of Emperor Wu Cheng and Tang Jingyun, and accusing Ruan Tang of having an unjust origin of the crown prince, Emperor Wu Cheng acted vigorously and directly arrested a few jumping favorites to kill chickens and monkeys, and let the rest Soon the flags and drums died down, and they didn't dare to make trouble anymore.As for those rumors, especially those about Ruan Tang, the stepson prince, although they have been discussed by the people for a long time, they are just discussions, but they can't affect Ruan Tang.

Time passed, the sun and the moon changed, and soon five autumns and winters passed by. In the Chongren Hall of the Eastern Palace, Ruan Tang wore a gold crown inlaid with jade on his head and was dressed in apricot-yellow regular clothes. Looking carefully at the memorial in his hand.

As the crown prince, the prince has the responsibility of assisting the emperor in handling the government affairs. Emperor Wucheng also valued Ruan Tang very much. In addition, Ruan Tang soon showed his outstanding ability after becoming the prince, so the emperor began to use it a few years ago. Some political affairs were handed over to Ruan Tang, and up to now, Ruan Tang had been directly ordered to supervise the country. He claimed to be sick, and stayed with Tang Jingyun every day in the Zichen Palace, and handed over everything in the court to Ruan Tang.

Fortunately, the borders of Dazhou are now stable and the world is peaceful. Most of the ministers of the court, Chinese and military are also loyal and encouraging. To Ruan Tang, who is lenient and benevolent, he has repeatedly proposed good ways to govern the country, and the prince who is very prestigious among the people is also very submissive. Helping with all his heart, Ruan Tang was more than capable of coping.It's just that the government affairs are cumbersome and other things are complicated, so the daily life is much less free than in the past.

Tu Lin finished today's inspection. When he came back, he saw that Ruan Tang was still busy, so he didn't disturb him. He just took off his armor and changed into his home clothes. He took the tea from the maid and sat down on the couch by the window. Xia Qianqian drank, but his eyes fell on Ruan Tang without blinking.

Five years have passed, but the years have not left the slightest trace on Ruan Tang's body. The gentle and handsome eyebrows and eyes are as gentle and handsome as when they first met. It seems that Tu Lin can't get enough of him, and he can't look away.

Perhaps Tu Lin's gaze was too hot, Ruan Tang seemed to sense it, he raised his head to meet Tu Lin's gaze, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, then smiled, and said softly: "When did you come back? Don't call me either?"

Tu Lin said: "I just came back, didn't I disturb you?"

"It's okay, it's just a congratulatory form from the prefect of Suzhou." Ruan Tang said.As the Longevity Festival is approaching, all places have sent congratulatory memorials and birthday gifts to Emperor Wucheng. Now that Emperor Wucheng has an ailment in his dragon body, Ruan Tang will check it on his behalf, but it is not an urgent matter. , So after all, Ruan Tang put down the memorial, stood up and walked towards Tu Lin.

He has a lot of things to do every day, and Tu Lin is the same. Daily inspections, inspections, and training, the two of them only have three meals and when they go to bed at night, they can have some free time to talk.

"The Longevity Festival is coming soon, and the emperor will finally go to the court to accept the congratulations of the officials, and then you will be able to relax." Seeing that Ruan Tang looked a little tired, Tu Lin took him into his arms distressedly , Big hands gently massaged Ruan Tang's back.

When Ruan Tang and Tu Lin were around, there were no servants in the room, so Ruan Tang was not afraid of being seen, so he relaxed and leaned against Tu Lin's arms, allowing Tu Lin to relax and massage himself, and soon He narrowed his eyes comfortably, and hummed softly, "Maybe."

Although Tang Jingyun told him that Emperor Wu Cheng's "sickness" would be cured during the Longevity Festival, but who knows whether Emperor Wu Cheng would become "sick" again after the festival?This kind of thing, Emperor Wu Cheng could do it the second time if he could do it the first time, but Ruan Tang didn't dare to have too much hope in his heart.

Although he did not know each other longer than Tang Jingyun and Emperor Wu Cheng, his understanding of Emperor Wu Cheng was very profound and correct. However, on the Longevity Day, Ruan Tang found that he still underestimated Emperor Wu Cheng.

This time, Emperor Wu Cheng threw the burden away completely. After accepting the congratulatory greetings from all the officials on the Longevity Day, he directly announced that Zen was located in Ruan Tang.And after the Longevity Festival and the ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he took Tang Jingyun out of the capital without delay for one more day. In Nuo Da's palace, only the Ruan Tang family was left.

Although he knew that he would become emperor one day in the future, this day came sooner than Ruan Tang imagined.Fortunately, even though he had only really become emperor, he had supervised the country for a long time before succeeding to the throne, so he was not in a hurry to deal with it.To him, there was not much difference between being an emperor and being a crown prince. Except that everyone called him "Your Highness" instead of "Your Majesty", the rest was still the same as before.

However, due to the change of Ruan Tang's identity, the lives of Tu Lin and his children have changed a lot.Tu Lin and Ruan Tang are husband and wife. Although Tu Lin was originally the husband and Ruan Tang was the wife, now that Ruan Tang has become the emperor, Tu Lin should be the husband of the emperor, but whether it is the Great Zhou Dynasty or several dynasties that have historical records , have never had such a title as the emperor's husband, but the emperor cannot live without a queen, so in the end Tu Lin became a queen, and he was also the only male queen for thousands of years.

It's just that although Tu Lin has become a queen, because of his status as a man, it is not convenient for the palace to meet officials' family members and clan wives, and Tang Jingyun is not in the palace.Fortunately, Du Jiaojiao has grown up now. As Ruan Tang's only daughter and the only princess in the palace, she can just handle these matters on behalf of Tu Lin.

Although Tu An has no blood relationship with Ruan Tang, Ruan Tang always regards him as his own son and treats him no differently from Tu Jiaojiao and his youngest son.After Ruan Tang ascended the throne, Tu An became an adult, so he was crowned king at the same time, named "Ning" and allowed Tu An to enter the court to participate in politics.

Tu An has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he is also very good at reading. He has also been taught by Tang Jingyun, and his talents and abilities are very good. He has shared a lot of hard work for Ruan Tang.This also made Ruan Tang suddenly realize what kind of mood Emperor Wu Cheng felt when he left the political affairs to himself, and he couldn't help feeling a little restless in his heart.

Fortunately, Ruan Tang asked himself to be more responsible than Emperor Wu Cheng, and he also judged others by himself. He didn't want Tu An to be troubled by copywriting at a young age. Take a break and suppress your thoughts.As for the youngest son of Ruan Tang and Tu Lin, he is not yet six years old at this time, too young, so there is no need for a reward.

Although Emperor Wu Cheng took Tang Jingyun to play around after passing the throne to Ruan Tang, he and Tang Jingyun were not young after all, so after only a few years, the two returned to the palace and still lived together. In Zichen Palace.It was originally the residence of the empress, but it was also the place where Emperor Wucheng and Tang Jingyun had lived together for decades, so after Ruan Tang succeeded to the throne, his family still lived in the East Palace and left Zichen Palace to Emperor Wucheng and Tang Jingyun.

It’s just that Emperor Wucheng and Tang Jingyun couldn’t live forever. After Ruan Tang succeeded to the throne, No. 13 thought, Emperor Wucheng, who was nearly [-] years old, passed away. Before he passed away, what he said The last sentence is to let Tang Jingyun be buried with him after his death, and to be buried in the same coffin.

It is common sense for emperors and empresses to be buried together, but it is unprecedented to be buried in the same coffin, but this is Emperor Wucheng's last wish, and Tang Jingyun agreed to Emperor Wucheng when he was dying, and Ruan Tang obeyed their wishes.Two years later, after Tang Jingyun also passed away, he opened Emperor Wucheng's mausoleum again, and sent Tang Jingyun into Emperor Wucheng's coffin.After that, the coffin of the empress was really sealed, fulfilling the wish of Emperor Wu Cheng and Tang Jingyun to stay together forever.

Although he knew that people were mortal, but Tang Jingyun's real death still made Ruan Tang's heart depressed for a long time, and he didn't think about food and drink, so he lost a lot of weight in just a few days.Seeing this, Tu Lin felt anxious and distressed, but he could resist thousands of troops, but he couldn't bring the dead back to life.

Not only Tu Lin, but also the children were worried about Ruan Tang when they saw Ruan Tang like this.They thought of many ways to make Ruan Tang happy, but they couldn't really make Ruan Tang happy.

When they were all at a loss, Tu Lin suddenly had an idea. After explaining to each of the children, he began to make preparations.

So a few days later, Ruan Tang woke up from his sleep, and found that he was not in the familiar bedroom in the palace, but seemed to be in a swaying carriage.

He was very puzzled in his heart, but when he opened his eyes and saw Tu Lin beside him, he didn't panic, but asked Tu Lin: "What's going on? Where are we?"

"On the way out of Beijing." Tu Lin said, seeing that Ruan Tang was more and more puzzled, before Ruan Tang asked again, he explained: "You forgot, I promised you that I would take you to the east to see the sea and eat The freshest seafood, but also to go to Liaodong to see the most beautiful snow scene, to go to Xijiang to see the golden yellow sand... I promised you, I will never forget."

Ruan Tang stared blankly at Tu Lin. Although more than 20 years had passed, he never forgot what Tu Lin said back then, but he thought it was impossible to achieve, so he almost never thought of it again...

Seeing that Ruan Tang kept silent, Tu Lin couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This time he made his own decision, and he didn't ask Ruan Tang what he meant in advance, so he said in a low voice: "I know that Dad left, and you feel sad, but Staying in the palace will inevitably make you fall in love with the scenery, so I want to take you out to play and relax. But we are not far from Beijing, if you don't want to go, then it doesn't matter if we go back immediately. "

After Tu Lin finished speaking, he lowered his head and stared at Ruan Tang, waiting for Ruan Tang's reply.Ruan Tang was naturally very surprised at the beginning, and wanted to return to the palace immediately. If he left like this, wouldn't there be a lot of trouble in the palace? No more exports.

He knew that Tu Lin was doing it for his own good, and hoped that he would be happy, so he didn't want to disappoint Tu Lin's kindness.Moreover, Tu Lin is not a person who acts recklessly, since he brought himself out, presumably he should have made a lot of arrangements, so he didn't say anything about returning to the palace.

"In this season, there will be snowfall in Liaodong in half a month, so let's go to Liaodong first." Ruan Tang said to Tu Lin with a slight smile.

Tu Lin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
