The next day, Gongzi Xi entered the palace to bid farewell to his father, Wang Ji, and prepared to go to Wuyang City, the lower capital.

Yan Wang Ji is gone.

Just let the attendant order Wang Cong to come out and urge Ji Xi to set off as soon as possible.

Ji Kang's eldest brother Ji Xi had no choice but to kowtow outside the palace gate to say goodbye.

After Ji Kang got the message, he came out to say goodbye to his eldest brother Ji Xi.

Out of the south gate of Jidu, Ji Kang said to his eldest brother Ji Xi:

"Big brother, don't blame your father, in fact...... In fact, my father has always had you in his heart. ”

Ji Xi laughed sadly and said to Ji Kang:

"Kangdi, you don't have to say much, I know. Father...... I'll leave my father's affairs to you. ”

Ji Kang didn't say anything, and bowed deeply to his eldest brother Ji Xi.

Ji Kang is right, Yan Wang Ji Ming's heart has actually been thinking about his eldest son Ji Xi.

Waiting for the news that Ji Xi had left the city to go to Wuyang City, it was transmitted back to the Ji Palace.

Yan Wang Ji Ming, sitting alone in the study of the dormitory, silently shed tears.

"Hello! Don't blame the widow for being ruthless. The widow has no choice but to do this! Now let you go to Wuyang City, the lower capital, and stay away from Jidu. In fact, it is the best choice for you and Kang'er. ”

"As long as you don't have resentment in your heart, although Kang'er is vicious, he is also a lover. In the future, it will be properly settled in you, and you will be safe and prosperous for the rest of your life. Xi'er, I hope you can understand the widow's mind in the future. ”

Thinking of this, Yan Wangji's heart was like a knife.

I felt very suffocated in my chest, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

The attendant Ling Wang Cong, who was waiting for Yan Wang Ji Ming at the entrance of the dormitory, and several medical officers who were on standby at any time.

After hearing the movement in the temple, he hurriedly ran in.

As soon as he saw that Yan Wang Ji Ming was like this, the attendant ordered Wang Cong to follow the instructions of the medical officer and put Yan Wang Ji Ming back on the couch in the dormitory.

While shouting to the attendants and palace maids who came in with him, he shouted bitterly:

"Go and inform the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, go quickly!"

When Yan Wang Ji woke up, it was already evening.

The queen Ji Zhao and Ji Kang next to them helped Yan Wang Ji Ming up and leaned on the couch.

A medical officer hurriedly brought a bowl of ginseng soup that was more than 100 years old and fed Ji Ming a few bites.

Then, he quietly glanced at the prince Ji Kang next to him and walked out.

Yan Wang Ji Ming knew that his limit had arrived.

looked at the queen Ji Zhao in front of the couch, the crying red eyes, gently held her hand, and said to the queen:

"Queen, you will have a good ...... from now on."

The queen cried, "No, the king ......"

Ji Ming smiled and patted Queen Ji Zhao's hand and said, "Queen, don't cry." ”

Then he turned his head to look at the prince Ji Kang, who was full of tears on his face, and said with a smile: "The ministers are here, right?" ”

Ji Kang bowed to his father Ji Ming and said, "Father, the ministers are here. ”

"Let them all in."

"No."

All the ministers of the Yan State court, except for Su Dai and Jiangqu, who were envoys, everyone else arrived.

"Worship my king."

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, my king."

Yan Wang Ji Ming leaned on the couch, looked at the court ministers below, and said slowly:

"Someone, draft an edict. The widow is located in the crown prince Ji Kang. ”

This was expected by the ministers, and all the ministers bowed down together and said, "The ministers obey the edict." ”

Ji Kang fell to the ground and shouted, "Father......"

Yan Wang Ji Ming raised his hand and stopped Ji Kang's words.

"You don't have to do that, you just obey it."

Then he said, "Come, bring the widow's crown, and the widow will personally crown the prince." ”

The attendant ordered Wang Cong to kneel down in a hurry, kowtowed, and said, "Obey the edict." ”

After a while, the attendant Ling Wang came to the couch of King Yan Ji Ming with the gold plate holding the crown of Jiuhan in both hands.

Wang Cong held the gold plate holding the crown high and knelt in front of the couch of Yan Wang Ji Ming.

Yan Wang Ji Ming stretched out his hands and held the crown tremblingly.

Slowly put it on, kneeling on the head of the crown prince Ji Kang in front of the couch.

Looking at the young king of Yan Kingdom wearing a crown in front of him, Ji Ming laughed:

"Kang'er, you once said when you went to Liaodi: desire-wear-it......"

Then he looked at Ji Kang.

Ji Kang was full of tears and choked up: "Father, you will bear it." ”

"Good. You stand up. Remember, always remember, these words that you said today in front of the widow. Yan Guo ...... From today onwards, Yan Guo will ...... It's in your hands. ”

"No."

Ji Ming turned his head to the ministers in the hall and said, "Congratulations, wait a minute...... Let's pay homage to the new king! ”

Pavilion Minister Su Belly, Ju Xin, Lu Zhonglian, General Rong Yi and other ministers knelt down on Ji Kang standing in front of Ji Ming's couch together.

They shouted in unison, "Worship my king." ”

Ji Kang's heart was in a trance for a while, but then he came to his senses.

Looking at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground, he said slowly:

"Secretaries, please."

"Thank you, my king."

The royal power of the Yan Kingdom has been smoothly transferred to Ji Kang's body from this moment.

Ji Ming saw all this and smiled with satisfaction.

Immediately, an edict was issued: "Proposed edict." In the future, our Yan country will move its funeral customs, and replace the days with the months, and this edict will take effect. And written into the "Book of Rites", in the future, the royal family and even the subjects of my Yan will handle the funeral according to this edict, and it must not be violated. ”

When Ji Kang and his ministers heard this edict, their hearts were shocked.

According to the "Zhou Rites" observed by Yan in the past, the funeral of Yan Wang Ji Ming will be buried in five days and in May.

Not to mention the loss of labor and money, let's just say that in the past five months, it is impossible for Yan Guo Kenben to raise troops and make a big move.

Otherwise, Ji Kang is not filial, he is ashamed of his ancestors, and he is ashamed of the people in the world.

In this way, Yan State's plan to attack Qi State this year is simply impossible.

But now the edict of Yan Wang Ji Ming has completely avoided all this and put all the responsibility on himself.

Ji Kang was embarrassed, knelt in front of his father's couch and said, "The son obeys the edict." ”

The ministers also followed Ji Kang and said, "The ministers obey the edict." ”

Ji Ming stretched out his right hand tremblingly, wiped away the tears and snot on Ji Kang's face, and said solemnly to Ji Kang:

"As a ...... As the king of Yan, you can't ...... in the future Don't shed tears. ”

Ji Kangqiang held back the tears in his eyes and said to Ji Ming: "The son obeys the edict." ”

Ji Mingyou held the hand of Queen Ji Zhao and said to Ji Kang: "Take care of your mother." ”

"Erchen...... The sons obeyed the edict. ”

Ji Ming's eyes suddenly revealed a look: "Kang...... Kang'er, you ...... You say, henceforth...... Future generations ...... How would you rate it...... Rating a widow? ”

Ji Kang looked at his father's expectant face, stretched out his sleeves, solemnly bowed to the ground with his hands, and bowed his head with a big salute:

"My father, during his tenure, worked hard to change the customs, and changed the law to become stronger; My Father was, is, and will always be a great and wise King. Erchen assured that whether it was past, present, or future, the people of the world would praise it in this way, and the history books would record it in the same way. ”

After listening to Ji Kang's words, Ji Kang's father, Ji Ming, slowly closed his eyes with a smile, and muttered in his mouth:

"Ancestors...... Liejong ...... On top, not Xiao ...... Offspring...... Ji Ming, just ...... I'm going to come to see you. Ji Ming...... Ji Ming's life is worthy of ...... Worthy of the ancestors, worthy of the descendants, worthy of the ...... I...... I'm Yan Guo. ”

"More ...... What's even more worthy is that Ji Ming is ...... For the subjects of my Yan Kingdom, to create ...... Created one, one ...... A great king. My son...... Son Ji Kang will be successful...... will become the king of all kings, Yan Kingdom...... The country of Yan will be unified...... Unifying the ...... of the World"

Ji Ming's voice gradually stopped.

Queen Ji Zhao hugged Ji Ming and cried loudly: "The king ......"

In the third year of King Yanxiao (255 B.C.), February 21.

Yan Xiao Wang Ji collapsed, and his son Ji Kangli.
