North Palace, in the sleeping tent of the Son of Heaven.

The Spirit Emperor's face was like gold paper, especially in a coma.

Zhang Ji let go of the Spirit Emperor's wrist with a solemn expression and glanced at Nan Ying. The two of them retreated together.

"What is the body of the Son of Heaven?" Nanying asked with a split head and a face.

"Han Yang, aren't you knowingly asking?" Zhang Ji spread his hands: "You are also a famous doctor in medicine, how can you not see the truth of the Son of Heaven?" ”

He said with a sad face: "Son of heaven, it really won't be delayed for a few days!" ”

"You can't help it....... Nanying's gloomy face seemed to be dripping, and suddenly he grinned, almost making Zhang Ji's eyes pop out: "You can't help it, it doesn't mean I can't help it!" ”

"You, what strange recipe do you have?" Zhang Ji grabbed Nan Ying with a fanatical expression: "No, this is impossible at all....... I worked hard that day, exhausted the thirteen kinds of strange flowers and plants treasured in the palace, although I successfully eliminated most of the toxicity in the body of the Son of Heaven, but the residual poison flowed all over the body with the blood......"

"There is a way to give it a try...... Nanying's face sank again: "But I'm worried, I believe you also saw the eyes of the Son of Heaven, he seems to have lost the desire to survive...... The heart of the Son of Heaven seems to be dead! ”

"This ......" Zhang Ji was stunned for a long time before he sighed and lowered his head: "You said well!" As healers, we can heal the bodies of patients, but it is difficult to heal their heartaches...... If it is true as you say, the Son of Heaven has lost the desire to survive, then no matter how good the medicine stone is, it will not help......"

"That's it, I won't tell you this!" Nan Ying grabbed his shoulder: "Zhongjing, what I say now is a matter of life and death, you must remember ......"

"What?" Zhang Ji listened to him talk in his ear, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he said in disbelief: "Is the situation already so bad?" ”

"Zhongjing, I'll only ask you about it!" Nan Ying said quietly: "You, do you believe me? ”

"Of course!" Zhang Ji nodded without hesitation: "How many years ago." You and I have been on the same road through thick and thin, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the person I trust the most in this world is you! ”

"Thank you Zhongjing for trusting!" Nan Ying sighed lightly: "So please be sure to act according to the plan, don't distract me!" ”

"Hanyang be careful! The safety of the Son of Heaven and the survival of the society are all on you! Zhang Ji bowed deeply, said no more, turned around and hurried away.

"General!" Gao Feng hurried from afar, approached Nan Ying's ear and said, "There is news that Dong Zhuo's army has advanced rapidly. At the latest, tomorrow evening or early the next morning, we will arrive in the imperial capital! ”

"I heard that He Jin has already sent a counselor, Chong Shao, to stop it with the official document of the General's Mansion in hand!" He hesitated: "What shall we do?" ”

"What to do? I heard that this kind of Shao is known for being upright and loyal! Nanying pondered for a moment: "If he goes, he will either live or die, and it will delay our major affairs....... intercept him and include him in the retreat plan." This is a talent, maybe he can be used in the future, I don't want him to have an accident! ”

"Yes!" Gao Feng turned around and hurried away.

"Come on!" Nan Ying took a deep breath and looked up at the endless sky: "It's really funny. How could I suddenly think of this....... let the storm come more violently! ”

In the Yunde Hall of Nangong, there was a "buzzing" whispering sound, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered here. is anxiously waiting for news from the Son of Heaven.

They were divided into three camps with clear barriers, one side was the Chinese and North Korean officials, the other was the general's friends, and the other was the foreign officials who watched from the sidelines.

But what's weird is that. Whether it is Jian Shuo of China and North Korea, or the general He Jin himself, it is difficult to find a trace. Only Zhang Rang and He Miao led the way. This can't help but make people suspicious. At this time of peril, what are the leaders of the two great powers planning?

A sharp voice suddenly sounded, breaking the oppression in the hall: "Seeing that the dragon body of the Son of Heaven is about to take the crane west, how dare the general, as the head of the generals, not follow the attendants?" It's really a kingless and fatherless! ”

The speaker was none other than Guo Sheng, one of the ten permanent attendants.

"Guo Changzhi is cautious!" He Miao immediately said: "Now that the imperial capital is stormy, there are many petty people who are plotting against each other, and the general, as a model of a hundred officials, how can he not share his worries for the Son of Heaven?" ”

"I want to ask for advice?" As soon as he changed his words, he pointed the finger at Jian Shuo: "Although the captain of the military academy is in a military position, he still has the errand of China and the DPRK, and it is his duty to serve the Son of Heaven!" He is not here now, is there a secret disobedience? ”

"Nonsense!" Without waiting for Guo Sheng to answer, several Chinese and North Korean officials had already spoken out at the same time, and the generals and other officials did not show weakness and ridiculed each other. There was chaos in the middle of the temple.

"Silence!" An even sharper voice exploded from the temple, and the crowd followed the voice.

An eunuch with an old face, especially Zhang Rang, slowly walked out from behind the palace.

When the three forces saw this person, they all saluted solemnly. Just because of this, although he is just a small yellow door, he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven for many years, and he has always issued edicts on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and everyone respectfully calls him "the only man".

Master Du's cold eyes swept across the hall, and when he saw everyone listening with bated breath, he said slowly: "The Son of Heaven has a will: I am getting sick, and I am afraid that I will die soon." Reminiscing about the past, I made many mistakes and hated a lot, and I was ashamed of the people in the world...... If it unfortunately collapses, all the things behind him will be simple, and no major events will be done, and all related affairs will be handed over to the Eagle Yang Zhonglang General......."

At this point, the sound of inhalation in the temple rang out. I knew that Ying Yang Zhonglang would be extremely honored and favored as the first favorite general of the Son of Heaven, otherwise it would be impossible for the Son of Heaven to entrust all the Son of Heaven tokens handed down by the three emperors...... However, I didn't expect that the Son of Heaven would even have full authority to deal with the affairs after his death, and he would not allow outsiders to interfere, which is a bit shocking.

The ministers were shocked in their hearts, but no one paid attention to the funeral in the edict of the Son of Heaven.

Until the end of the recitation, the hall was silent, and all the ministers looked at each other, a little at a loss.

Finally, someone shouted: "Lord Du, since the Son of Heaven is dying of illness and has even explained what happened after his death, why is there no mention of the successor monarch in his will?" ”

"Exactly!" Someone else shouted: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, how can such a great event be uncertain?" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Someone sneered: "The young and the old are orderly, it has been the same since ancient times, of course, it is to distinguish the prince to inherit the throne...... Why does Your Majesty need to explain it? ”

"Ridiculous!" Someone immediately retorted: "In antiquity. Emperor Yao did not pass on his sons, but passed on his virtues, and did not take the position of the Son of Heaven as his private property. It can be seen that the establishment of the emperor, with virtue first....... the Son of Heaven praised the young and virtuous prince many times that day, which is a thing for all to see, of course, it is to be succeeded by the prince of Xie! ”

"Your Majesty once said!" Master Du spoke again: "The matter of succession is a great plan for a thousand years, I can't think about it for a while, and I can discuss it later!" ”

"What?" The hall was again noisy.

Lord Du bowed slightly, retreated to the back of the hall, and ignored the surging feelings of the ministers.

On the main hall. He Miao and Zhang let their eyes touch from afar, and in an instant, the two exchanged their innermost thoughts with eyes that were difficult for outsiders to detect, and at the same time had a very inappropriate premonition.

On the school field of the Eighth Department of the West Garden, the footsteps were thundering, and a group of forbidden troops in the West Garden were urgently assembled, all of them were unsheathed and arrows were wound, a murderous scene.

Jian Shuozhuo stood on the platform. One hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist. He saw that the strict and majestic military formations were gradually formed, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Several neatly draped generals came over and saluted Jian Shuo under the general's stage.

"Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy!"

"Captain Zhao Rong of the Auxiliary Army!"

"Auxiliary Right Captain Feng Fang!"

"Captain Zuo Xia Mu!"

"Right Captain Chun Yuqiong!"

The five of them bowed together: "I've seen the captain of the military academy!" ”

"Several generals have worked hard!" Jian Shuo smiled and said, "Very good, you are here on schedule." Ben would like to thank you! ”

"Captain of the Army!" Cao Cao looked at the dense military formation behind him, and said in surprise: "I don't know what happened to summon the last general and others at night, and also ordered the whole army to mobilize?" ”

"Mengde. Tell the truth! Jian Shuo said lightly: "Inviting everyone here tonight is to follow the emperor's order to get rid of the national thieves!" ”

"What? Punish the national thief? Cao Cao was taken aback and said, "I don't know who this thief is referring to?" Such a big thing. Why don't you see the figure of Yuan Benchu, the captain of the Chinese Military Academy? ”

"Of course not!" Behind Jian Shuo, a mighty-looking general shouted: "Because the thieves we are punishing today are He Jin and Yuan Shao!" ”

The five lieutenants looked at that person at the same time, and recognized that this person was the military Sima Pan Yin of the Captain Department of the Upper Military Academy, and he was also Jian Shuo's cronies, and his status was not even below the lowest ranked captain.

Cao Cao's surprise was even worse, his voice trembled, and he said in shock: "Captain of the military academy, you said that the general and the lieutenant of the middle army are national thieves, but there is real evidence?" Also, when you say that you are ordered to beg thieves, you dare to ask where the oracle is? ”

"Meng De, I will know that you and Yuan Shao have always been very close!" Jian Shuo looked directly at Cao Cao: "And this general has always looked down on you, I hope you are at the time of this national disaster, don't be confused for a while, mislead others and yourself!" ”

"Captain of the Army!" Cao Cao listened to the undisguised threat in Jian Shuo's words, but calmed down, and he sneered: "Although you are the commander of the West Garden, you are not the captain of the school, can you move if you want to?" Again, please take out the oracle of the thief and read it in public, otherwise it will ......."

"How else?" Jun Sima Pan pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and with a "choked" sound, he pulled out half of the blade, and shouted: "Do you dare to disobey the orders of the military captain?" ”

"Humph!" Cao Cao turned around and said, "The last general will not accompany the ....... military academy lieutenant, and the whole army will return to the camp!" ”

Listening to his last shouting of military orders to his subordinates, all the generals changed color.

A snow-bright long sword was firmly pressed against Cao Cao's chest, causing his complexion to change greatly.

"Mengde, since you're here, why do you have to leave?" Feng Fang, the right lieutenant of the auxiliary army, had a kind look on his face, but he was a little eerie by the long sword in his hand.

"You!" Cao Cao was about to burst into flames, when suddenly his back was also stiff, and another voice sneered: "The matter has come to this, do you really think that you can come and go freely?" ”

"Zhao Rong?" Hearing the man's voice, Cao Cao was shaken, and he said with difficulty: "You...... You even took refuge in them? ”

"Humph! Those who know the times are Junjie! Zhao Rongmuran, the left lieutenant of the auxiliary army, said, he looked at Chun Yuqiong and Xia Mou, who were silent, and said slowly: "All colleagues have made a wise choice, why should Meng De be obsessed...... If it weren't for the fact that the captain of the military academy looked at the feelings of your family Boss Cao who was also a member of China and North Korea in the past, how could he give you the opportunity to get lost and return? ”

"Mengde!" Jian Shuo shouted sharply: "On the same day, you killed the general's uncle when you were the captain in the north of Luoyang, and the general has taken revenge for personal gain?" I will be a talent who really loves you, I hope you will restrain yourself from the precipice, and don't mess with He Jin and Yuan Shaoyi! ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, his voice was full of depression and injustice, he pointed at the people in front of him one by one, gritted his teeth and said, "A group of villains...... Even if he dies on the spot, he will never be with you! ”

"Presumptuous! Are you really not afraid of death? Hearing Cao Cao's decisive words, not only Zhao Rong and Feng Fang's faces changed, but the military Sima Pan Yin even took his long knife out of the sheath and walked over.

Cao Cao put his hands behind his back, with a look of fearlessness, and said lightly: "In the world, who is not afraid of death?" However, there is something more frightening than death...... That is the loss of integrity! ”

Nearly 10,000 soldiers saw that their elbows and armpits had changed, and several generals were about to get angry with each other, and they all became agitated. In addition, the loyal officers and soldiers of the lieutenant department of the military academy drew their swords one after another, intending to step forward to save people, which immediately triggered a confrontation between the other departments.

The scene was in turmoil, and it was about to spiral out of control, causing a fratricidal civil strife. Suddenly, a majestic voice in the distance laughed and said, "Meng De said it well! A dignified man, who should observe festivals and respect himself, how can he be in the same stream as the eunuch party to destroy his reputation? ”

Jian Shuo heard the familiar voice, and finally changed color. (To be continued......)
