Chapter 1059 Normal Procedure
Regarding the sensitive question of abdication, it is not easy for Anguo Gong, a close minister of the emperor, to express his opinion at will.

He said dryly: "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, and he is a rare and wise monarch. It is time to show his grand plans..."

Flattery is really not An Guogong's strong point, so after a few words, it will be unsustainable.

It's no wonder that An Guogong couldn't say anything against his will. In the past one or two years, the emperor's mind was completely out of court affairs. He even went to listen to the court from time to time in the early court.

The emperor knew this well, but he was still dissatisfied with An Guogong's attitude: this old slicker, what he said was obviously just perfunctory him, and he was so careless.

The emperor said displeased: "What Ye Aiqing means is that King Yu is not wise enough? How dare you slander my son!"

An Guogong felt that he was wronged more than Dou E.Obviously, the flattery that he has performed beyond the level can be picked out by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that your sage, Your Majesty, is as wise as ever. Of course, Your Highness is also wise, but only a little bit worse than the Emperor."

After An Guogong finished speaking, he looked at the emperor with a look on his face, all dead pigs were not afraid of boiling water.That's it for me, you can do whatever you want.

This is already a super level of his super level, and it is absolutely impossible for him to spout out more innovative words of praise.

Although An Guogong's flattery was not very good, the emperor was satisfied.He was satisfied in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face.Immediately, he snorted heavily, reluctantly accepting An Guogong's words.

The emperor had a correct positioning of himself in his heart. He dared not say that he was an emperor through the ages, but he was also satisfied with the administration of the past ten years.

During the Qianqing period of his reign, rail carriages first appeared.After that, various construction and engineering tools appeared one after another.Twelve transportation tracks were built between the important transportation cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the transportation of grain, grass and court materials was extremely fast and convenient.

In the past few years when the patent law was launched, following the steam engine and blast smelting furnace, the mechanical spinning machine was successfully developed in Qijia Machinery Workshop.

It is gratifying that in September of the same year, a large textile family in the south applied for a patent for a new type of loom, which was more than three times more efficient than the old loom.Cooperating with the spinning volume of the spinning machine, the textile output of Tianchao has greatly increased, and at the same time, it has driven the cultivation of cotton and linen.

Just the year before last, Jinghai's first steam ship launched into the sea. Once the large iron-clad warship sailed on the sea, it immediately caused a sensation.With such a huge, strong, and fast-moving warship, no pirate, no matter what kind, would be able to escape.

There is also a threshing machine driven by a steam engine, which has applied for a patent, and the threshing is efficient and clean.

In the past ten years, the development of all walks of life in Tianchao has shown an unstoppable momentum.

In the past two years, even the low-quality steel and cloth of the imperial court have participated in foreign trade and exchanged a large amount of scarce materials from abroad.

All of the above shows that the industrialization of the Celestial Dynasty has already had a good start, and its development is becoming more and more stable.

The emperor was nearly sixty years old, and he felt that he could retire and live the life he wanted.

After being silent for a while, the emperor said abruptly: "Your granddaughter is indeed a visionary. The coal business he recommended to me is indeed huge. I heard that the mines in Jinzhou are very spacious and magnificent. I want to go and see What is the size of your business."

An Guogong did not respond, but measured the meaning of the emperor's words in his heart.Hearing this, the emperor really has the idea of ​​abdicating.

…………

Jin Rong heard the emperor's mention of this matter after the father and son returned to the royal study the next day after the morning court.

He first heard the emperor complain about a lot of complicated things, and then asked in a questioning tone: Should he abdicate?

Jin Rong's initial reaction was the same as An Guogong's, almost dropping his jaw.

Immediately, Jin Rong, who understood what the emperor meant, was troubled.To inherit the throne?Although he is the one who presides over the early court now, he is the one who reviews most of the memorials.But after all, he has not ascended the throne, nor is he the emperor.

Becoming emperor is the ultimate goal of every ambitious prince.Obviously, what the emperor is talking about now is the belonging of this ultimate goal.

Jin Rong's expression on his face was extremely complicated, and he struggled for a while before he said, "Father is not very restrained now, he's a good person, why should he abdicate?" In his tone, no matter how he heard it, he felt that there was a lack of sincerity.

The emperor looked at the expression on Jin Rong's face, and almost kicked him out: "Can't you pretend to be a little kid? Take a mirror and look at the expression on your face. I wish I could kill you right away." The throne will be handed over to you?!"

Jin Rong was stunned: "Ah? Isn't it? Is it so obvious?"

Now the emperor was really annoyed, picked up a booklet on the case, and threw it at Jinrong, "You bastard! You really think so."

Jin Rong hurriedly reached out to borrow the booklet, his heart full of grievances, "Can this be blamed on my son? We aspiring princes, which one of us would not want to ascend to the supreme position? With your bravery and martial arts, father No matter how much I pretend, can you really be fooled by my son?"

The emperor stared at Jin Rong, unable to refute for a while.How can you be so sincere when you tell the truth?It is also mixed with superb flattery skills.

The emperor suddenly discovered that the flattering skills of those around him had improved a lot recently.

"Go away! Do things well, let me think about it again."

…………

When the emperor said to abdicate, it seemed to be just a chaotic thought casually.But as soon as the words came out, the emperor's heart began to burn.

Almost as soon as Jiang Yifan found out from An Guogong that the emperor had such an idea, he was approached by the Minister of Rites to discuss the etiquette arrangements for the new emperor's succession and honoring the current emperor as the Supreme Emperor.

Jiang Yifan is now serving as the Minister of Rites.There is no other reason, but because the Qi family machinery workshop has a share of his Jiang family, and the machinery workshop is second to none in the industrial field of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Machinery workshops, the Ministry of Industry, and general supervisors often have technical exchanges and money exchanges.In order to avoid suspicion, he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites as a servant, and he was promoted to a higher level.

Sun Tingyue, who was then Minister of Rites, was the father of King Yu's side concubine Sun Shumin, and he was Jin Rong's half-father-in-law.

Sun Shangshu was in a great mood, and enthusiastically let Jiang Yifan sit down at the guest seat, and poured him tea himself.When explaining Jiang Yifan's affairs, the creases on his face were about to pile up into a flower.

Jiang Yifan was stunned: "Such a big matter, don't we need to discuss it in the court?"

The normal procedure for this kind of thing should be brought to the court for court discussion.Headed by Jin Rong, the successor, including all the ministers in the court, they all wanted to persuade the emperor with great heartache and reluctance.

We should express to the emperor with extremely sincere feelings that without the emperor's guidance, everyone would be unable to do things and live without a backbone.

The emperor insisted that he should follow the example of Yao and Shun and give more opportunities to young people.Of course, this young man is not an outsider, but his son.

In this way, you will come and go for three to five months, and then enter the substantive handover stage.

However, what happened to Emperor Qianqing? It was too sudden, right?
　Thank you Lin Angel and Duoduo Yudian for the two thousand rewards, thank you book friends for your support, and thank you for being with me for such a long time.
