In the middle of the night, Wu Shi knocked on the door of his hometown. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What?"

I didn't sleep well this night, I always felt that something big would happen, the blood was surging against the eardrum, and my heart was jumping in my chest.

Even in the dark, Wu Shi was able to find Thirteen accurately, "Lord, the emperor has woken up, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed on the princess and princess to enter the palace quickly." ”

Thirteen stabilized his mind, "Call Yongxi to prepare the horse." ”

Wu Shi originally wanted to say that the princess was pregnant, and she was afraid that it would be inappropriate to ride a horse. But when the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, the prince felt sorry for the princess, how could he not think of this? It's just a matter of urgency.

Thirteen rubbed his face and shook Qinglan who was sleeping ruthlessly, "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?" ”

Qinglan suddenly woke up from the nightmare, gasping for breath, and the big knife that slashed at her in the dream seemed to be still hanging in the air.

"What's wrong?" Thirteen gave her a good back, secretly annoying that she was too anxious.

Qinglan hugged her stomach for a long time before she came to her senses, her voice was hoarse, "Huh~~, what's wrong?" "Is it an assassination or a forced palace?

"Father is awake." The movements of Thirteen's hands did not stop as he spoke, and he quickly got up and put on the python robe he had prepared last night.

Qinglan was happy at first, but immediately her heart sank, and she woke up at this time... I'm afraid it's what people often call "back to the light", right?

Thirteen tidied himself up and helped Qinglan find a neat riding costume and cloak, and Qinglan knew that the two of them were going to ride into the palace.

It's just like this... Qinglan looked at Thirteen hesitantly: "Do you want to bring Hong'er?" ”

Hong'er hasn't seen her imperial grandfather yet, if she doesn't bring it this time, then next time... There's a good chance there won't be a next time.

Thirteen pursed his lips and was silent for a second, "You change your clothes, and I'll carry Hong'er to the car." "Since you want to take the child, let's take a carriage.

When I first built my hometown, there was a bedroom downstairs, and Hong'er slept there now.

"Okay." Qinglan endured the discomfort of waking up early and quickly cleaned up.

******

There was nothing to say all the way, but fortunately Hong'er didn't wake up, her little hand grabbed the placket of Thirteen's clothes, turning over from time to time, Qinglan and Thirteen looked at each other and smiled.

But this kind of warmth only lasted until the gate of the palace, and in the thick inky night, the palace was like a huge demon monster, and it opened its bloody mouth hideously.

Emperor Jingtai still lived in the Qinzheng Palace, and when Qinglan and they arrived, only Gonggong Shi and Wu Yi were beside them.

"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Thirteen placed Hong'er on the soft slump and surrounded it with a cushion. He knew that these two men were loyal, but the eldest brother was the rightful heir.

Gonggong Shi replied softly: "The emperor woke up just now and said a few words to His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out. ”

The hall was quiet again, and Qinglan followed behind Thirteen and slowly walked forward.

Even if he did enough mental construction on the way to Qian'er, he looked at the emperor who was powerful in the past and was now lying on the wide dragon bed, and he was even more thin and weak. Qinglan's nose was sore, and she almost burst into tears.

"Father, father..."Thirteen called his father softly, but the elderly emperor did not react, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and Thirteen could not tell if his father could hear his voice now.

"Father..."Qinglan's tears were like broken threads, sometimes she really couldn't figure out whether there was a god in this world. If so, why did God cause people to be born to suffer and suffer in the world? If not, then why is the end result of man being recycled by God?

Emperor Jingtai moved his eyelids slightly, and he didn't seem to be very clear.

But the thirteen and two saw hope, and kept calling and calling in Emperor Jingtai's ears. Finally, Emperor Jingtai struggled to lift his puffy eyelids, but his eyes were still cloudy.

"......" Emperor Jingtai struggled for a long time before squeezing out a few words that seemed to be nothing, but Qinglan couldn't grasp it.

"The emperor said," Wu Yi suddenly interjected: "Dashun, I will entrust it to you." ”

Qinglan was suddenly stabbed by these words, what do you mean to entrust us? My God, the words behind "How can Chen He De ......" were choked in her throat, and Qinglan couldn't find her voice at all.

Shi Gonggong explained: "The emperor has been repeating this sentence recently...", Shi Gonggong hid his face and wept.

It turned out that it wasn't specifically for himself and Thirteen, such Emperor Jingtai made Qinglan even more distressed, and he was still thinking about Dashun and thinking about Dashun at this time... My father is really a good and responsible emperor, but he is too responsible.

"Squeak", the door was pushed open again, and this time it was the prince who came in, holding a brocade box in his hand.

Qinglan wiped her tears, now is not the time to cry.

******

In addition to the edict in the box, there were also Emperor Jingtai's private seals and military talismans, and everyone looked at the things in the box and was silent for a while.

At this time, in the face of death, all words seem extremely empty.

"In the palace... Are you all set? After a long time, the crown prince Li Desheng took the lead in breaking the silence. is talking about the aftermath of Emperor Jingtai.

Shi Gonggong bowed his head and responded: "Yes, everything is ready." The words are full of reluctance, and he has been waiting by the emperor's side since he was twenty-one years old, and now it has been more than 50 years.

For nearly half a year, he got along with the emperor in the past, and he knew exactly what the emperor liked to eat and what he didn't like to eat; The emperor likes which lady and which lady he doesn't like, he also knows clearly.

The only thing I didn't understand in this life was why the emperor secretly supported His Royal Highness King Su, obviously the crown prince is the crown prince of Dashun!

Just like now, everything has to be presided over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"So... Inform the other princes and cabinet ministers," Li Desheng paused, "Call Cen Xiuzhi, the commander of the Nine Gates, and Mu Wei, the commander of the forbidden army." ”

This is not only to see off the emperor, but also to maintain stability.

"Huh." Gonggong Shi turned around and glanced at Emperor Jingtai again, and then he retreated with a shake. Father-in-law Shi is old, and his knees and calves are bent badly.

After Shi Gonggong left, Li Desheng sent Wu Shi away again.

"There are two edicts in the brocade box."

These words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, splitting Qinglan into a stumble, but fortunately she was sitting here.

"Why, how could it be..."Thirteen was also surprised, wondering in his heart what his father was going to do.

"Who else is it for?" Qinglan must ask clearly, if it is thirteen, then immediately eliminate the suspicion of the prince, this suspicion is likely to kill her own family, so it is urgent!

Li Desheng's pupils shrank, "Li Demin." ”

Whew~ It's good if it's not thirteen.

Thirteen frowned, why did his father do this? "The matter of the edict... Lee Demin he... You know? ”

Li Desheng shook his head tiredly, "I don't know." ”

Is it that Li Demin is not clear or you are not clear about Li Demin?

"That..."Big brother, what are you going to do?" Two edicts, this thing is a scourge! But... I'm afraid that someone will make a big fuss about this...

The inner chamber fell silent again, and there was a suffocating feeling in the air.

“... Sheng'er..."

The three of them quickly moved to the bed, and Li Desheng held Emperor Jingtai's hand tightly, "Father, father, Sheng'er is here!" ”

Emperor Jingtai slowly glanced around, "Edict, edict..."

"The edict has been obtained!" Li Desheng's eyes were red, and he could see that he was trying to endure.

"Father, why are there two copies of the edict?" Qinglan hurriedly seized every opportunity to interject, just afraid that the emperor would go without explaining anything.

Emperor Jingtai smiled, that's right, this expression is laughing.

"You..."

The hand that was not held stopped weakly in mid-air, and Li Desheng immediately pressed his face to it. Emperor Jingtai muttered: "You, you just have too soft a heart..."

Qinglan understood, it turned out that Li Demin was the whetstone that Emperor Jingtai prepared for the prince, but the prince was... Why, he is obviously not an indecisive person!

"My father knows, and my father understands..."

Qinglan understands in seconds, everyone praises the prince for his benevolence, but it is not necessarily really benevolent; But the prince is filial, and he is really filial.

"Go, get me something to eat, I'll be full to eat."

The three people on the bed burst into tears again, "Father, what do you want to use?" ”

Emperor Jingtai seemed to have regained some of his spirits, "Instant noodles." ”

Qinglan almost couldn't control herself again, instant noodles? An emperor asked for food before he died... He didn't order how many delicacies from the mountains and seas, but chose instant noodles for the military camp!

"Let's cook it right here." Emperor Jingtai wanted to look at the children in front of him.

Qinglan became the "head chef", her cooking skills are better than Pan Erniang's, and Thirteen said that this is the only dish she can handle. In fact, Qinglan wanted to refute him, and her sister's fried tomatoes and eggs were also very good.

According to the direction pointed by Emperor Jingtai, Qinglan found an invisible closet, which looked no different from the wall next to it, but when it was opened, it was... A cupboard full of snacks.

Belch... There were even several packets of beef jerky.

Qinglan opened it and smelled it, it was not broken.

Boil water, lay down an egg, then throw in beef jerky and instant noodles, the noodles are only cooked until eight ripe, and poured red chili oil... It's a pity that there are no shallots, otherwise this bowl of noodles would be even more perfect.

Emperor Jingtai laughed again, he couldn't hold the chopsticks, so Li Desheng fed him little by little. At the end, I drank all the soup.

Thirteen threw a grateful glance at Qinglan.

Qinglan is a little embarrassed, her daughter-in-law...

As if pinching the time, the prince and the ministers arrived one after another, and the one who took the lead was the emperor's younger brother, the uncle of the thirteenth and others, and Prince Yu, who was "cut" into a eunuch by Liu Rusheng not long ago.

******

Emperor Jingtai's face instantly returned to the past, and the emperor's exclusive expression, if it weren't for the fact that there was still the aroma of food in the house, Qinglan would have thought that everyone had returned to the court.

"Brother Huang..."Prince Yu's call of the imperial brother was extremely affectionate, Qinglan couldn't help but look at him for a long time, and didn't see anything different.

Emperor Jingtai beckoned, and Prince Yu obediently climbed forward.

Just when everyone thought that the emperor was going to entrust Prince Yu with something, they saw Emperor Jingtai raise his hand vigorously and wave-

"Smack!"

A firm slap hit Prince Yu's white-faced old face, and it quickly became red and swollen.

(⊙o⊙)…

It's to... What's the trouble?

"Imperial brother..."Prince Yu was obviously also stunned, covering his cheeks with an expression of disbelief.

"Father...!" Prince Lian subconsciously shouted, only to find that his brothers didn't say anything, and they didn't even raise their heads.

Qinglan also quickly buried her head, cheering for Emperor Jingtai in her heart, playing well, playing well, beating King Yu's croak!

"You deserve to be called me, too!" Emperor Jingtai did something that he had never done in his life, took a deep breath, puffed up his strength, brewed a mouthful of sticky phlegm, and slapped Prince Yu in the face!

Bang bang bang ... Father's head is good~!

That's not all, Emperor Jingtai spoke again, this time to the cabinet ministers. "Proposed purpose, Prince Yu Li Wenyu has a bad character, and he is not worthy of being the clan of the royal family, and he is the model of Dashun. Author: Abolish the first prince of Prince Li Wenyu, take back the Fengyi mansion, and Bian will be a concubine, and future generations will not be allowed to enter the court as officials. ”

All the ministers are confused, Prince Yu... Where did you offend the emperor?

Emperor Jingtai's heart was relieved, and he finally solved this younger brother... It's so exciting, I've been thinking about this day for many years!

If he only felt shame and unwillingness before, then now Prince Yu, no, Li Wenyu, a concubine, only has deep fear and horror, he slammed his head, his forehead quickly turned purple, and his mouth cried loudly: "Brother Huang spare his life!" Brother Huang spares his life! ”

The crown prince looked at the puddle of fat lying on the ground in disgust, "Holy grace, I didn't want your old life, why don't you hurry up and thank you!" ”

Li Wenyu couldn't help crying, it was better to kill himself, cut the flesh with a blunt knife, he Li Wenjin was playing with me!

"Ahem, cough, cough..."In the sound of Emperor Jingtai's cough, Li Wenyu disappeared and never appeared in the imperial city again.

This slap seemed to have exhausted all the strength of Emperor Jingtai, he glanced at the brocade box, Shi Gong Guild willed, and respectfully held the brocade box in front of the emperor.

"Read."

Shi Gonggong carefully unfolded the bright yellow silk roll, cleared his throat, and focused as every time he read the holy decree, but he was more devout than every holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Prince Li Desheng, the eldest son of me, has both ability and political integrity, and Fu Mao is very great, and he can be the new emperor of Dashun. Heaven and earth can be learned, and this is hereby an edict..."

Everyone knelt on the ground and listened quietly, only Prince Lian, who looked up several times, was frightened back by Emperor Jingtai's gaze.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live~!"

It's ironic that people are going to die and shout such slogans.

"Dashun, I will entrust it to you." This is the last sentence that Emperor Jingtai said, and it is also Li Desheng, Li Demin, Qinglan... And a lot of people, the last words they said before they died.

At three o'clock on August 14 of the 29th year of Jingtai, a generation of emperors collapsed, and Li Wenjin Temple was called Zhongzong, and Emperor Dekang was called.

The bell rang and the whole country mourned. Thinking of the kindness of the first emperor, a large number of people poured into the capital and knelt outside the imperial city and wept for seven days.

On the first day of the new year, the crown prince Li Desheng ascended the throne as the emperor, and the year name was Shunqian.
