When Luo Dao arrived at Changxin Palace, it was already twilight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cheng Xin arrived first, and was coming out of the inner hall at this time. I don't know what task Zhao Yuan assigned to him, Luo Dao just saw that his face was pale, and his expression was so solemn that he could drip water.

As colleagues and political enemies for many years, Luo Dao and Cheng Xin always look down on each other, often ignore each other when they meet, and at most they bow their hands to say hello.

So as soon as he saw Cheng Xin coming towards him this time, Luo Dao planned to step aside and staggered by. Unexpectedly, Cheng Xin stopped in front of him.

Prime Minister Luo...... When the mountain rain is about to come, I hope you can raise the banner of the DPRK and China and stabilize the political situation. Give the emperor a ...... Time to recuperate. Cheng Xin bowed his head and bowed deeply, which was a gift from a student to a teacher.

Luo Dao was shocked, although he was ten years older than Cheng Xin, Cheng Ke believed in Zhao Yuan's trust, and he also had heavy troops in his hands to defend Luoyang and the surrounding areas, so he never took Luo Dao seriously.

Suddenly putting down his body like this today, Luo Dao only felt that his heart kept sinking: "I don't know what the emperor's illness has become, and he has made Cheng Xin's temperament change so drastically?" ”

He immediately replied: "Privy Envoy Cheng is serious, you and I are both courtiers, and it is within our duty to share the emperor's worries." The old man is not talented, since he is the prime minister, he will definitely do his best to make the Great Qi country run smoothly at this time. ”

"Prime Minister Luo," the corners of Cheng Xin's mouth moved slightly, as if he was very emotional, and he clenched his fists with both hands: "Then Cheng Mou has taken the first step." ”

"Cheng Shumi's envoy is good to go." Luo Dao immediately returned the salute.

After separating from Cheng Xin, Luo Dao did not delay for a moment, and immediately walked quickly to the inner hall.

Liu Fuquan was at the door of the inner hall early in the morning, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly picked up the curtain and invited him in.

The light in the inner hall is a little dim, and the usually bright and dazzling palace lamps are all covered with a layer of pale yellow plain veil, and the light becomes extremely soft, and even a little fragile.

Bypassing a rosewood half-out leg inlaid agate Bogu pattern vertical screen, Luo Dao finally saw Zhao Yuan, who was half-lying on the royal collapse.

Although he thought he was mentally prepared, the moment he saw the emperor, Luo Dao couldn't help but take half a step back, his mouth opened slightly in surprise, and he almost forgot to salute.

Zhao Yuan was in a strange posture at this time, supporting his body with his arms like doing push-ups, and it was obvious that he didn't want his body to come into contact with the collapse, which would presumably make his skin and bones more painful.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Yuan turned his head.

Zhao Yuan, who was handsome and upright in the past, and his face was like a crown of jade, his face was covered with bruises on his hands at this time, his eyes were blood-red, and he could hardly tell where the pupils were, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped out of his forehead and flowed down his cheeks.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that he was standing in the Changxin Palace, Luo Dao really thought that what he saw in front of him was a powerful ghost crawling from hell.

In the end, Zhao Yuan said with difficulty: "Luo Aiqing, don't panic, I ...... I can't die for a while......"

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan's voice did not change, but it was much hoarse, like a nail grinding through coarse sandpaper.

"The sin of the minister deserves death!" Luo Dao quickly knelt down. Seeing that the emperor, who was still majestic yesterday, had become like this after not seeing him for a few hours, he really felt heartache, and before he knew it, tears were pouring out of the corners of his eyes.

Zhao Yuan laughed when he saw him like this: "I haven't cried yet, why should Aiqing be like this!" ”

Luo Dao wiped away his tears and said, "Minister...... I just hate God for being unfair to the emperor! ”

Zhao Yuan struggled to prop himself up and sit up, and said calmly: "Life has a horizontal knife immediately, when the day of generosity, there will naturally be a decadence, when Jiang Xue is fishing alone, what is fair or unfair, just a passing year!" ”

Luo Dao bowed his head and said, "The minister is panicked. ”

"I have just sent Cheng Xin to set up a guard near Luoyang to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to start a rebellion. In addition, in the Hanyang Palace, Zhongzhen also ordered the guards to strictly guard it to prevent the people in the court from secretly communicating with the harem. ”

When Luo Dao heard this, he could already guess a little bit of the emperor's intention to call him here today, and he couldn't help but mention it: "It's all said about this, doesn't it matter?" ”

"What can the court and the harem secretly contact? Naturally, it's the prince! Since the emperor strictly prevents this kind of thing from happening, firstly, he already has an idea, and secondly, he also knows that he may not be able to pass this hurdle, and he must do his best to ensure that the new monarch ascends the throne smoothly. ”

"However, King Alcohol and King Rui are both princes with heavy armies, and they are evenly matched. Although one is at the border and the other is recuperating from his injuries, the large group of people around them will not give any of them in vain. ”

"In addition, the biological mothers of the two princes are also indistinguishable, one is the queen with a noble status, and the other is Concubine Chen who is in charge of the harem, if the two sides are against each other, it will be difficult to be caught in the middle."

The more Luo Dao thought about it, the more scared he became, although he lowered his head, the cold sweat on the tip of his nose had revealed his worries at this time.

Of course, these can't escape Zhao Yuan's eyes. Since Luo Daolai can be called, Zhao Yuan believes that with him as an official for forty years - ten years as a foreign officer, ten years as a Beijing official, ten years as a border officer, and ten years as the first assistant, he will definitely be able to shake the possible chaos in the DPRK and China.

"Today, I was attacked in the courtyard, and after hearing about it, hundreds of officials gathered at Chengqianmen to wait for the audience. I only passed Cheng Xin and Luo Aiqing, and when I left the palace for a while, Aiqing didn't have to go through the Chengqian Gate, so as not to meet hundreds of officials, and just go out from the Fanglin Gate. ”

Zhao Yuan's faint sentence seemed to be considerate, but in fact, it was hidden, which shocked Luo Dao. He hurriedly bowed down and bowed: "The emperor is sage." ”

It turned out that Zhao Yuan's sentence was to mention him, and now the hundred officials are waiting at the gate of the palace, only the two of you have been summoned, and everyone knows it. Cheng Xin is a martial artist, and it is naturally impossible for the emperor to hand over important matters to him.

Luo Dao is safe, virtuous, and a first-class in the dynasty, and the emperor must have entrusted him with the most important posthumous affairs.

Therefore, if Zhao Yuan dies, the hundred officials will definitely find Luo Dao to get ideas, and it is their duty to support the new monarch to ascend to the throne of Luo Dao. He must do his best to protect the new monarch, because in the eyes of the hundred officials, he is already tied to the new monarch, and no one believes it even if he wants to clear the relationship.

Zhao Yuan's hands trembled a little, and he took out a pale yellow sprinkled gold silk handscroll from the pillow and handed it to Luo Dao, and told in a deep voice: "Luo Aiqing must keep it properly." ”

Luo Dao took the handscroll with both hands, opened it and saw that it was indeed an edict written by Zhao Yuan. Although he had guessed in advance, when he saw the name of the prince, he was still secretly surprised, and he couldn't help but cry.

Luo Dao held the handscroll and said in a choked voice: "The emperor is in his prime, like the sun and the moon in the sky, why bother?" ”

Zhao Yuanyi waved his hand and said a little tiredly: "Luo Aiqing go back." ”

After Luo Dao wiped his tears and left, Zhao Yuan couldn't hold it anymore, his eyes were black, and the severe pain made him almost faint. He took advantage of the time when he was still conscious, and hurriedly passed on the decree: "Urgently summon the presiding officer of Chongshan Temple to clean the dust into the Changxin Palace." ”
