The Nameless of the Common Clans
Chapter 734: Succession
The handover of the throne is not a trivial matter. When Chen Mo said in the court hall the next day that he would pass the throne to Chen Jin, the officials all changed their expressions and did not understand why Chen Mo would do this.
It took him most of his life to win the world. This right has only been enjoyed for a few years before it is passed on to the prince. It is difficult for the ministers to understand why Chen Mo would do this. Taking into account the two years that the prince had overseen the country before, Chen Mo's real reign was Not even three years. Of course, when it comes to governing the world, including the time when Chen Mo was the Ming King, it would be quite a long time. But why is this? No one could figure out why Chen Mo would do this, no matter how hard they tried, it didn't make sense? If you really don't care about fame and fortune, how can you fight in the world?
"Your Majesty!" Yang Xiu stepped out of the queue, frowned at Chen Jin, took a deep breath, and took off his official uniform.
Um?
Chen Mo and Chen Jin looked at this scene in astonishment. What did Yang Xiu want to do?
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking boldly!" Yang Xiu looked directly at Chen Mo and said loudly: "But Your Majesty is being coerced!?"
This is so abnormal.
Chen Mo smiled happily when he heard this, and pointed at Yang Xiu and said: "Dezu, Dezu, you and I met when we were young. This is the first time I know that you have such courage. Do you know that I If you are really being coerced, what will happen to you?”
"I know, but I have followed His Majesty for half my life, and I really don't want to see His Majesty working hard for the country all his life, only to end up in a miserable state when he gets old!" Yang Xiu bowed.
"Okay!" Chen Mo said with a smile, stroking his palms: "Don't worry, everyone, I can defeat and defend this world. This transfer to the crown prince has been carefully considered."
"Your Majesty." Xu Shu came out and asked with a frown: "Since ancient times, it has been rare for an emperor to be crown prince in his prime. Your Majesty's move is unreasonable. No wonder Yang Shangshu asked like this."
"It is precisely because I have read the history books that I have made this decision." Chen Mo said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty has been pushed forward for a thousand years. Whether it is a large dynasty or a small country, the inheritance of the throne is mostly due to the crisis, but it is precisely because of this that the princes will Do whatever it takes to get the throne, and the factions within the court Lin Li, or after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the foundation was unstable and the country was shaken. I made this move in the hope of giving the new emperor a chance to control the government stably, to ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and to those who will follow me. Old minister, can you all understand that you can have a good death?"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. The truth is correct, but this is the throne. How many people would break their heads to get it, but Chen Mo can be so free and easy. Doesn't he worry about the bleakness of his old age after relinquishing the throne?
Of course, Chen Mo cannot have a miserable life. After all, even if he is the prince, if the prince really dares to treat Chen Mo harshly, the prince will drown in spit stars in this world, not to mention the Ming Dynasty army, which was almost brought out by Chen Mo. Yes, any order is probably not worth a word from Chen Mo. Who dares to touch him?
"Your Majesty has foresight and foresight, and I admire you!" The ministers thought for a moment and realized that this method could indeed eliminate possible hidden dangers to the greatest extent. However, being able to do so is not only unprecedented, but it is definitely rare in the world. After all, it is the throne of the Emperor. The position is passed on as soon as it is said. How much courage and determination does this take?
After clearing the doubts of the ministers, the date of passing the throne was set. The court became busy again. Chen Jin began to prepare for the succession. Chen Mo began to delegate his power to Chen Jin. He met with senior officials in the court every day and explained some matters. Things, everything is orderly and orderly.
On the first day of September, under the witness of the civil and military officials of the Jiade Hall, Chen Mo took Chen Jin to worship heaven and earth and enshrine Chen Jin.
"Jin'er, after today, you will be the master of this world. You have experienced this burden. It is not light. You have done what you can do as a father. You will have to walk the rest of your life on your own. Take care of yourself. "Don't get too tired." Chen Mo solemnly handed the imperial seal, which represented power, into Chen Jin's hands and said in a deep voice.
"Kid, remember this!" Chen Jin knelt on the ground in fear, took the imperial seal with both hands, knelt down and bowed before standing up.
"It's done!" As the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, it represented the completion of the largest transfer of power in the world. From today on, Chen Jin is the master of the Ming Dynasty.
"Go back to the court!" Chen Mo signaled Chen Jin to return to the court with the support of the ministers. When they arrived at the Jiade Hall, Chen Mo took the initiative to stand on the court, while Chen Jin sat on the emperor's seat and looked at the standing Chen Mo and Chen Jin were not sure whether they should sit down or not.
"Your Majesty, you are already the emperor, so you should be dignified." Chen Mo cupped his fists and saluted.
Chen Jin nodded, took a deep breath, sat on the throne of emperor, and accepted the respect of the ministers.
"Today, I ascend the throne for the first time, and I would like to ask you all to help me. If I have done something wrong, I hope you can point it out in time." Chen Jin raised his hand and said with a smile.
"I obey the decree!" the ministers said respectfully.
"Do you have any memorials?" Chen Jin said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report, please!" Chen Mo stepped out and handed a memorial to the eunuch on the side.
"Father..." Chen Jin looked at Chen Mo, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe himself, calling him "Father"? Obviously it is unreasonable, but if you call him father, there are only monarchs and ministers in the court. Even if father and son are ministers in the same palace, they cannot be addressed by private addresses in the court.
"Your Majesty, I have resigned from all positions. In terms of status, I am also white now. Your Majesty, you can call me sir." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Chen Jin understood that his father was helping him establish his authority.
"First...what do you want, sir?" Chen Jin nodded.
"Since I have resigned from my position, I should not go to court again. After today, I want to establish an academy in Beimang Mountain to teach the descendants of the royal family. I ask your Majesty to agree." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Chen Jin frowned and said, "Father... wouldn't it be better for you to stay in Luoyang to enjoy your old age? Why do you have to leave the city?"
"To teach knowledge, you can't just read books. You should know the reason and the reason. There is no such place in Luoyang." Chen Mo smiled.
Chen Jin nodded silently: "Yes!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Mo nodded slightly, and then said to Chen Jin: "Now that the matter here is over, I should go to prepare for the affairs of the academy. I will not participate in the important affairs of the court. Please allow me to leave first."
Chen Jin took a deep breath, stood up and said: "Farewell, father!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty!" The ministers saluted Chen Mo one after another. Those who could be here were all heroes in the world. How could they not understand Chen Mo's mind? This was to completely sever ties with the court and give Chen Jin room to display his talents without being constrained. At the same time, it was also to cut off the small thoughts of some people in the court. It was rare in ancient and modern times to consider his son so comprehensively. This call of Your Majesty came from the heart, not only because Chen Mo was the previous emperor, but also because Chen Mo's mind was enough to make anyone admire him.
"Everyone, if there is an afterlife, let's drink and talk happily again!" Chen Mo clasped his fists towards the ministers, did not correct their mistakes, nodded to Chen Jin, and then turned and left. He was not bleak or lonely, and his carefree attitude could be clearly felt.
Chen Mo did not care about how Chen Jin and the courtiers discussed next. After returning to the palace, he called all his wives, concubines and grandchildren to prepare to move out of Luoyang completely.
"Your Majesty, even if you don't become the emperor, you don't have to move out of Luoyang, right?" On the way to Beimang Mountain, Dian Wei scratched his head and looked at Chen Mo in confusion, not understanding why Chen Mo did this.
Dian Wei naturally had an official position in the court, but since Chen Mo had left, Dian Wei also resigned his position and prepared to accompany Chen Mo to Beimang Mountain to continue his leisurely life. As for his family, his son is now Chen Jin's trusted general, and his grandson has been in the academy for several years. The younger grandsons are taken care of by the women at home, and he can't take care of them. It seems that there is nothing to do in Luoyang, so it is better to stay with Chen Mo.
"There is no two suns in the sky. If I stay, Jin'er will definitely feel a lot of constraints, even if I do nothing. After a long time, Jin'er will feel uncomfortable, and I will feel uncomfortable too. It is better to leave Luoyang and be free." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.
"What's the reason? Your Majesty has clearly passed the throne to the prince." Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo puzzledly, puzzled.
"To put it bluntly, the throne is just a symbol. If you recognize it, the emperor will naturally be supreme. But if no one recognizes it, it will be like Liu Neng in the past, with a name but no substance. As long as I stay in Luoyang for one day, in the hearts of the ministers, I am the real emperor, and Jin'er is the nominal emperor. In the long run, Jin'er will be like my puppet. If so, what is the difference between me and being the emperor? Just like you, you still call me Your Majesty? If outsiders hear it, it would be disrespectful if you say it lightly, and it would be treason if you say it seriously!" Chen Mo said at the end, glaring at Dian Wei.
"I'm used to it. Besides, it's not right to call you Your Majesty instead of Your Majesty, King or Lord, right?" Dian Wei said, touching his head.
"If you are willing to be my family general, you can call me the head of the family in the future. If you don't want to, you can call me brother or nephew in the future. You and Uncle Wang are close friends. If we talk about seniority, it's not too much to call you uncle." Chen Mo said casually.
"No, I can't bear it. I am willing to be a family general, so call the head of the family." Dian Wei waved his hand hurriedly. After being a general for half his life, Chen Mo suddenly became his nephew. Dian Wei was afraid of shortening his life.
"Let's go!" Chen Mo nodded, and he didn't mind. This feeling of removing everything was really relaxing.
Under the setting sun, the figures of a group of people gradually disappeared on the post road outside Luoyang City. On the tower, Chen Jin silently watched Chen Mo and his party disappear, and sighed slightly. It seemed that something was missing in his heart, empty and unpleasant. The joy of ascending the throne suddenly disappeared when he looked at the direction where his father disappeared, and he even felt a little envious.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to go back to the palace." The eunuch beside him bowed.
Go back to the palace?
Chen Jin nodded silently, and suddenly felt that the palace was a little cold, without the intimacy of the past.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Jin turned around and walked towards the city with a group of followers, but he didn't know if he could be as free and easy as his father by then?
It will be almost finished tomorrow, so I will update it today. I will sort out my thoughts and try to give you a perfect ending. Well, I will ask for a day off from my boss tomorrow to finish this book. Thank you for your support along the way.
