Emperor Yuanwu has been paralyzed for a long time, and as an arrogant emperor, he must have felt uncomfortable in his own heart if he fell into the situation he is in now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With no hope of recovery in sight and his body weakening, his desire to continue to survive will gradually wear out.

His days are just watching and counting down the countdowns.

Chang Runzhi stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of Liu Tong's hand, and said softly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, human beings are common. ”

"I know." Liu Tong bowed his head and smiled: "Father's days are numbered, and the imperial doctor has already told the fifth brother." ”

Chang Runzhi was silent and asked, "What are the plans of King Rui?" ”

Liu Tong shook his head: "The fifth brother doesn't have any special plans to look at it, but if the father and the emperor die without saying anything, the fifth brother wants to succeed to the throne, and there is always a bit of an unjustifiable taste." ”

"Isn't King Rui in a hurry?"

"From the fifth brother's face, I can't see the eagerness." Liu Tong smiled bitterly: "I don't know what the fifth brother thinks. ”

For the people next to him, at this critical time, I am afraid that the most important thing to think of is to ask Emperor Yuanwu to make a will, designating King Rui to succeed to the throne, or to ask Emperor Yuanwu to establish King Rui as the crown prince before his death, so that after his death, King Rui can naturally inherit the unification.

But King Rui is not in a hurry about this, which is a little intriguing.

Could it be that at this time, King Rui still wants to wait for Emperor Yuanwu to willingly make a holy decree in the form of "no persecution"?

If this is the case, Chang Runzhi has to say that King Rui can really bear it.

Liu Tong scratched his head: "My father won't go to the court meeting now, the affairs of the court and the central government are now in the hands of the four ministers, and the fifth master has not interfered." However, the fifth brother said that in a few days, it is estimated that the princes will take turns to enter the palace to serve the sick. ”

"Isn't this what the ladies in the palace do?" Chang Runzhi said strangely: "The princes have to go too?" ”

"After my father was paralyzed, I almost didn't want to see the ladies in the palace, I don't want my appearance to let the women who once greeted him see, lose face, and serve the sick, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to be the ladies." Liu Tong said: "As for why do you want the princes to serve the sick...... This is what the fifth brother said, and I don't know the reason for it. ”

King Rui's estimate was very accurate, and within two days, the news of Emperor Yuanwu's serious illness came from the palace, announcing that the princes had entered the palace, arranged them for shifts, and let them serve the sick.

Emperor Yuanwu may want to have a final relationship with all his sons, not only did he bring the former abolished prince and the current King Shenjun into the palace, but even King Qi, King Li, King Zhu and others, who had not shown up for a long time and had been pretending to be quails, all entered the palace.

King Rui didn't react to this, and still followed the rhythm of asking for peace and working every day, and seemed to be unwary of King Shenjun and others entering the palace.

Liu Tong also entered the palace and listened to the arrangement of the chief eunuch He Dan.

The prince is sick, and he needs to be matched in pairs, and Liu Tong is paired with Liu Tong to serve the sick, and it is the anxious king who wishes the king.

On the day when Liu Tong was sick, King Zhu said that he was sick and couldn't come.

Liu Tong scoffed at this.

Emperor Yuanwu's whole person was as thin as a hemp rod, and the dragon robe was loose on his body.

He rarely spoke, and when he was awake, his eyes were fixed on one place, occasionally shedding a little tears, and some attendants hurriedly wiped him dry.

Liu Tong rarely made a sound when he was sick, and when the waiter told him what he needed to do, he followed suit.

said that it was a disease, but in fact, it was just a show of filial piety in front of Emperor Yuanwu, and it was not the turn of these noble princes to do the dirty work.

Emperor Yuanwu probably also saw his sons perfunctory or impatient during this time, and he was even more disfigured.

Liu Tong was quite dedicated when he was sick, but when it was time to hand over the shift with other brothers, he also walked without nostalgia.

Compared with the performance of the princes next to him who were either flattering or disgusted, Liu Tong's performance as if completing the task made Emperor Yuanwu look sideways.

On this day, Liu Tong was sick again, and King Zhu still said that he was sick and did not come, and Emperor Yuanwu didn't bother to say even a word about wishing the king. When it was about to be handed over, Emperor Yuanwu called Liu Tong, looked at him for a while, and asked him: "Xiao Jiu, you, hate me?" ”

Liu Tong was stunned, and wanted to reply to him and say, "Erchen doesn't dare", but the words stopped when he came to his mouth, and he looked at him lightly and said, "Go back to my father's words, yes." ”

Emperor Yuanwu might as well be so straightforward, coughed and said, "Because I ...... Shut you down? ”

Liu Tong shook his head, his eyes were indifferent, and his tone was detached: "It's because my father doesn't treat his sons as sons." ”

"I, when will I ......"

"From the birth of Erchen to the present." Liu Tong replied to him: "My father regards the abolished prince as a son, and other sons are not sons in the eyes of my father." ”

Emperor Yuanwu's lips moved, and he looked at it with excitement.

Liu Tong simply sat down and said to him: "My father is the emperor, and it is natural to put the world first, so it is understandable to attach importance to the former heir and ignore the other sons." But what made Erchen funny was that he said that he was focusing on the world, but his father didn't think about it clearly. If you really put the world first, how can you insist on entrusting the country to a fool like the abolished prince? His father knew that he was not up to the task, and in order to cherish his face as an emperor, he almost didn't even care about his ancestors' inheritance. ”

Liu Tong sighed: "In the eyes of my father, the son of the prince is noble, and the other sons are not important, right?" Otherwise, the abolished prince will be so angry that you will have a stroke and paralyzed, and you can bear to stop him...... Even after abolishing him, he also gave him the title of King Shenjun. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Tong inevitably showed a mocking look on his face: "Self-cultivation, family harmony, and governing the country can level the world, you haven't even taught your son well, how can you talk about governing the country?" ”

Emperor Yuanwu's chest rose and fell rapidly, and his mouth hummed and sneered like a wind.

Liu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a calm tone: "Father, it's almost time to hand over the shift, don't think too much, take care of the dragon body." Erchen retired first. ”

Liu Tong walked out of the emperor's bedroom, holding his chest a little uncomfortable.

He knew that he shouldn't have said those words at such a time, but seeing that Emperor Yuanwu didn't feel that he was wrong at all, he felt breathless, and the words that pierced people's hearts just popped out.

If you make your father angry......

Liu Tong felt a little uneasy in his heart, and waited outside the dormitory for a while, but he didn't see anything unusual about the inner servants and eunuchs inside, so he put his mind at ease.

The news of the emperor's serious illness spread to the people, and the ordinary people began to consciously rule up, and those who wanted to do happy events hurried to do it, for fear that one day the emperor would die, enter the national filial piety, and delay the marriage of their children.

Everyone was silent, waiting for the day of His Majesty's funeral.

But Emperor Yuanwu still breathed a sigh of relief.

As an emperor, he knew he had one more thing to do.

It's not a matter of fact, he can't close his eyes yet. (To be continued.) )
