Ambergris rose, and there was silence in the Heart Nourishing Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gonggong Li stayed by Sima Chu's side and dozed off with his head bowed.

"Someone... Someone..."Sima Chu's voice was very weak, and it wasn't until he shouted a few times that Gonggong Li came close and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink water?" Still is? ”

Fortunately, the stroke is paralyzed in the body, and the head is very sober, but such sobriety is tantamount to a sharp knife, torturing Sima Chu's heart all the time.

He, a generation of emperors. He also bent his bow to shoot eagles, and he also took the head of the enemy among ten thousand people. Unexpectedly, at this time, he became a waste person who had to be served by people to eat, drink and Lazar, and could only lie on the bed. How could he accept that?

"Quietly invite Lie'er into the palace, I have something to explain." Sima Chu commanded.

Gonggong Li replied in a low voice.

When Sima Lie saw the emaciated man with white hair on the dragon bed, he didn't know what it was like to eat? It stands to reason that he should hate Sima Chu, but now it seems that he is extremely pitiful.

The emperor who once stood in the clouds and was invincible, after all, he couldn't beat the rush of time, lingering on the sickbed, no different from the old man of ordinary people.

"Son-in-law, see father." Sima Lie knew that Sima Chu couldn't see it, but he still saluted respectfully.

When Sima Chu heard Sima Lie's voice, it took a lot of effort before he moved his fingers and motioned for Sima Lie to come closer.

Sima Lie knelt on the edge of the dragon bed as he said.

Sima Chu's eyes were a little blurry, and he looked at Sima Lie in front of him kindly, just like any loving father in the world.

Lie'er's chin and eyes are very similar to Xiu'er, and her nose is a bit like me. Sima Chu suddenly moved the idea of touching Sima Lie's cheek with his own hands, but his fingers moved, and he couldn't lift it up after all.

"Lie'er, I want you to be the crown prince and inherit the throne. Would you like to? Sima Chu asked directly.

Along the way, he knows better than anyone else that this supreme position is so beautiful and powerful to outsiders. There are many constraints in it, and how can outsiders see through it.

In fact, if it is true, Sima Yan is more suitable to inherit the unification than Sima Lie. Sima Lie is too upright and inflexible, and he is soft-hearted. This is his advantage, but also the disadvantage of being an emperor. In comparison, Sima Yan is decisive and ruthless, and decisive in killing. Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me perish. It's quite a bit of the emperor's domineering.

That's why he asked Sima Lie if he was willing to be this emperor. If Sima Lie is unwilling, and he is unwilling to force him, only he knows how hard the road to the emperor is. And he gave him a lifetime of glory and freedom.

Sima Lie replied without hesitation: "The son is willing to share the worries of his father. ”

The corners of Sima Chu's mouth moved, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, with such a right to heaven, how many people in the world can resist such a temptation.

"In this case, my father immediately appointed you as the prince of the East Palace, and I shared my worries. Nie Yunyang, the daughter of Nie Xiang, was appointed as the crown princess and got married on a certain day. Sima Chu said slowly.

Sima Lie frowned suspiciously, this prince's position was too easy, right?

"Why is it a son?"

A trace of memory flashed in Sima Chu's cloudy old eyes, and he muttered, "This is what I owe to your mother and son." ”

Sima Lie was stunned for a moment, the suffering he suffered in the barracks when he was young, and all the hatred accumulated over the years disappeared at this moment.

It turned out that in his heart, he had a mother and his own.

"Isn't my father afraid that the Sima family's country will be ruined in the hands of his son?" Sima Lie asked rhetorically.

Sima Chu replied in a low voice: "To be honest, Yan'er is more suitable to be this emperor than you. But the father knew that Lie'er would be a Ming monarch in the future. Izumo can be well governed. ”

Knowing the son is more than the father.

Sima Lie said: "The son will live up to his father's hard work. It's just..."

Sima Chu answered: "It's just that you don't want to marry the Nie family's Qianjin?" ”

Sima Lie looked at Sima Chu in surprise, it seemed that nothing could escape his eyes.

"To outsiders, the king of a country is calling for wind and rain and is omnipotent. The situation between the DPRK and China is changing rapidly, and the implementation of the new policy is quite restrictive. Now that your foundation is still shallow, if you do not know forbearance, you are afraid that you will sit on the throne of God, and you will be replaced. So even if you don't like Miss Nie anymore, you have to marry her, not to mention that you are not marrying her, but the power of the Nie Mansion. Sima Chu said a lot in one breath, gasping violently.

Gonggong Li hurriedly poured a cup of tea and sent it to the front, because Sima Lie knelt beside the bed and it was not good for him to come forward to feed the water, but it was not good to open his mouth to let Sima Lie feed him, after all, the two in front of him, one was the old master, and the other was the new king, and the gap between the two was deep, and it was not a matter of offending anyone, so he had to stand aside with a cup.

After Sima Lie reacted, he beckoned to Gonggong Li, took the cup and fed Sima Chu water himself.

After drinking the water, Sima Chu's face turned a little ruddy, and he didn't know if it was really the effect of this tea or the reason for the person who fed the tea.

"The sons and daughters must follow the teachings of their father, and everything is arranged by their father." Sima Lie replied.

Sima Chu nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's okay, you can go back first, the holy decree will be announced to the world in a few days." ”

"The retainers retired." After Sima Lie saluted, he withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The position of the crown prince is a sure thing, but for some reason there is no joy in my heart?

"Your Majesty, do you want to rest? It's the same if you see you again tomorrow, and you're not in a hurry at this time..."Gonggong Li persuaded Sima Chu with a tired face on his face.

Sima Chu said in a low voice: "It's okay." You can arrange for a few adults to enter the palace on time to meet you. ”

Gonggong Li only sighed and agreed.

Sima Chu was not sleeping, and heard the sound of chaotic footsteps in the room, although the sound was small, but for some reason he heard it clearly.

"Your Majesty, a few adults have arrived." Gonggong Li walked closer to the front road.

"Ministers to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live..."

Several voices sounded at the same time, causing a trace of echo to be heard in this huge heart cultivation hall.

And Nie Zhongguo is impressively listed.

Sima Chu ordered Gonggong Li to help him up, and said to several confidants: "You have followed me for many years, and you are my minister of humerus and Izumo's meritorious minister. I knew that the limit was approaching, and in order to ensure the stability of the court, Sima Lie, the fifth son of the emperor, had a valuable character and experience, and was canonized as the crown prince to inherit the unification. I also hope that you will assist Lie'er as you do with me. Can you do it? ”

"The ministers will abide by His Majesty's wishes, and will wholeheartedly assist His Royal Highness the Prince, and there will be no two hearts."

The crowd replied in unison.

Sima Chu said again: "Another canonization of Nie Mansion Qianjin Nie Yunyang as the crown princess, the marriage will be completed on the same day, and she will enter the East Palace." ”

Nie Zhongguo thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage." The ministers must be full of liver and brains, and they will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wholeheartedly. ”

Everyone said congratulations to Nie Zhongguo again, this is not only the prime minister in front of him, but also the ruler of the country. When will you not be able to stutter at this time?

After Sima Chu announced everything, he felt that he had no strength in his body, and fell asleep in a drowsy state.

Soon, Sima Lie was named the crown prince, Nie Yunyang was the crown princess, a couple of newcomers, and entered the East Palace.

Above the court, under the joint hands of Nie Xiang and the ministers, all the voices of doubt were suppressed.

Auxiliary to the Crown Prince.
