Chapter 123: Dawn (3)
"After the emperor fell, the slaves thought that the emperor had ...... It's desperate with the Northern Barbarians. If it weren't for King Rong Jun who arrived with someone, I'm afraid the old life of the slave and maid would be gone...... The Queen Mother has been separated, and there is no news of them. Grandpa An whimpered.
Emperor Zhaoyuan was not angry when he heard this, but showed a hideous smile. "Call King Rong Jun to come over."
Yasuhara paused and then turned around and went out to speak. Emperor Zhaoyuan's murmur faintly came from behind, "Born to be anti-bone, subverting the appearance of the world." If you let me cut off my children and grandchildren, I will make your ancestral graves unrestful. The Sen Ran in his tone made An Yuan Qing couldn't help but shudder.
When he was young, Meng Jinghan came in from the outside with steady steps, and Emperor Zhaoyuan leaned on the ink pillow, slightly closing his eyes to recuperate. The uncle and nephew stood next to each other and did not speak. For a moment, there was a dead silence in the room.
Meng Jinghan silently looked at the old man leaning on the bed, before today, he still had black hair and a ruddy complexion, but his hair became snow-white in one night, and the whole person was dozens of years old, looking like he was about to die. Thinking of the word "about to die", a trace of irony flashed in Meng Jinghan's eyes.
In the middle of the ring, Emperor Zhaoyuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Meng Jinghan with a complicated expression, and laughed, "I tried my best to suppress you in previous years, and even hoped to kill you, but I didn't expect that one day, I would be saved by you." ”
Meng Jinghan didn't get angry when he heard Emperor Zhaoyuan's straightforward words, but said with a faint expression: "My father once saved you, and now I have saved you." Can two life-saving graces exchange peace for my life? ”
"Haha...... Two lifesavers! Emperor Zhaoyuan laughed, triggering the wound. There was a violent coughing sound, and he stopped coughing halfway, and the corners of his eyes were red, "You just want such a request?" His gaze changed suddenly, "It's really useless, the son of the royal family, the title of the prince of the county, I have persecuted you many times, you should take the opportunity to kill me." He actually showed kindness to me in order to be at peace. It's really a daydream. If I am good. My princes and grandchildren are all here, why should I allow you, a person who is born rebellious, has the appearance of subverting the world, is brave and good at fighting, and has a great reputation in the army? No matter what I do. Pave the way for them too. Let them sit more firmly on the throne of the emperor. Emperor Zhaoyuan finished these words in one breath. Leaning on the pillow, gasping for breath, he jerked his head up. His eyes looked sharply at Meng Jinghan, "You don't have anything to say?" ”
Meng Jinghan looked at Emperor Zhaoyuan with an expressionless face, "What does Uncle Huang want?" ”
Emperor Zhaoyuan laughed miserably, "What do I want?" If it weren't for the fact that I am now dead, how would I get your turn? To repay the kindness of your father and son today, I will not kneel down for me. ”
Meng Jinghan knelt down as he said, and didn't ask why. A hint of satisfaction flashed in Emperor Zhaoyuan's eyes, "Call An Yuanqing in, and what other court ministers are here, call them over." ”
Meng Jinghan knelt still, stretched out his hand and made a gesture behind him. When he was young, Gonggong An came in first, cushioned the pillow behind Emperor Zhaoyuan, and helped him drink a glass of warm water.
Later, a group of ministers rushed into the door, the first was Zhuang Shoufu, and then the second auxiliary Lin Zhijin, the criminal department Shangshu Zhuang master, Qingning Hou Han Dong, Jinyang Hou Mei Mingyi...... and more than a dozen people, all of whom are quite powerful people and families in the court.
Zhuang Shoufu's gaze swept over Meng Jinghan, who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were full of approval.
After kneeling, Emperor Zhaoyuan asked them to get up. "If you want to come to the capital, you know better than me."
The ministers hurriedly said that they didn't dare, Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't have so much strength to talk nonsense with them, and said straight to the point: "The princes and grandsons are gone, and I am grieved, but in vain." I and Prince Rong are half-brothers, and he only has one lone seedling under his knees, and Prince Rong's child is my child, so Taijing is also my child. I know my body is no longer good. ”
"Your Majesty......" The ministers wanted to ask for guilt again, Emperor Zhaoyuan waved his hand, "There is no need for false courtesy, I don't have so much strength now, listen to me finish speaking." He turned his head to Meng Jinghan, who had been kneeling on the ground, "Now I want to establish a biography in Rongjun King Meng Jinghan." Scholar Gu, you have a purpose! ”
Gu University, a scholar, Minghong, because of his good writing, was called into the cabinet by Emperor Zhaoyuan and wrote for Emperor Zhaoyuan. Now I heard that the emperor asked him to write the edict, and I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. I only heard Emperor Zhaoyuan say slowly: "Meng Jinghan, the king of Rongjun, has a noble character, and he will be able to overcome the unification." Following my ascension to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, to comply with the public opinion system, hold the service for 27 days, release the obedience, proclaim to China and foreign countries, and make the Xian envoy aware of it. ”
After saying this, Emperor Zhaoyuan said to his ministers: "In the future, the Qing and others will assist King Rongjun well, and I will entrust the Great Qi country to you." The ministers knelt down to receive the decree.
Emperor Zhaoyuan said to Meng Jinghan again: "I will hand over the throne to you, and you will guard the rivers and mountains of Daqi, so that we will be in Daqi for all generations." Most importantly, I want you to subvert the world and unify the four kingdoms. I want you to slaughter the royal families of the four kingdoms, tear down their ancestral graves, crush the bones of their ancestors and scatter them to ashes, so that they will not be at peace after death. Can you do it? I want you to swear. ”
Emperor Zhaoyuan himself cut off his children and grandchildren, and revenge on the Northern Barbarians was not counted, but also angered the other three countries, everyone was also drunk, and the ministers knelt on the ground and persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't." To do such things is against the peace of heaven. And it is extremely detrimental to the reputation of King Rongjun. Emperor Zhaoyuan didn't listen, but just looked at Meng Jinghan cruelly. For the sake of Daqi, he had to hand over the throne to Meng Jinghan, he was unwilling, how could he make Meng Jinghan feel better.
Where would Meng Jinghan care, what about the dying person giving him a promise, he said without hesitation: "The minister will devote himself to this for the rest of his life." If you break your oath, may the sky thunder five times. Everyone was silent for a while, looking at Meng Jinghan in shock.
The ancients made a heavy oath, Meng Jinghan made such a heavy oath, Emperor Zhaoyuan bowed his head with satisfaction, and said to An Gong: "Bring me what I put in your place." Hearing this, Gonggong An took out half a bronze medal from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Zhaoyuan.
Emperor Zhaoyuan took it in his hand, looked at it repeatedly for a while, and rubbed it again before handing it to Meng Jinghan, "Take it and go to quell the rebellion!" After speaking, he said to the ministers, "You all stand down!" I still have something to say to King Rongjun. ”
Hearing this, everyone slowly retreated, and together with Grandpa An, they also went out.
Meng Jinghan took it in his hand and saw that it was the talisman he dreamed of: the bronze tiger head talisman, which could command all the soldiers and horses of Daqi. Meng Jinghan clenched the half of the talisman, and he was even more excited than when he heard the emperor's message.
Emperor Zhaoyuan said: "Taijing, come here, I still have something to tell you." Meng Jinghan listened to the past, only to hear Emperor Zhaoyuan say: "There is still half a piece of talisman and the jade seal together, all of which are collected in the ......" (to be continued.) )
