Chapter 379: Death
Li Le thought that he would do his best to protect the emperor and would be safe, but now that he learned that the emperor was still dying, Li Le felt a little emotional.
"If the emperor dies, what will the Nine Emperors do?" Li Le asked worriedly, now that many princes have died, if there is no emperor again, the Nine Emperors will be alone.
"But this is also a helpless thing, and it is already a great blessing that he was able to escape with his life." Mu Changjin sighed, Chu Jing was so ruthless, fortunately, Guayu saved the Nine Emperor Princes in time.
At the same time, the Nine Emperor Princes also inquired about the place where the two were recuperating from their injuries, rushed over, and pushed the door open with a blank face.
I also mentioned the Nine Emperor Princes just now, and now that I saw the Nine Emperor Princes coming, Li Le was very surprised, and hurriedly said, "Why did you come over." "It's time to get out of bed.
The Nine Emperors were not unreasonable people, and knowing that the two of them were helping their wounds, they hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and replied, "I just came to see who you are, although I will pour out the troubles in my heart." ”
The two glanced at each other, and instantly knew what the boredom of the Nine Emperor Princes was, and I was afraid that it was related to what they had just discussed.
"Sit down." Mu Changjin Zhangluo.
"Okay." The Nine Emperors sat on the stool on the side, looking at the two of them with haggard faces, and knew that both of them were worried about their royal affairs.
"Our royal family really can't stand you, we need your help in everything." The Nine Emperors thanked him.
Li Le hurriedly waved his hand, "How can it be, as courtiers, it is appropriate for us to solve problems for the emperor, not to mention, as the people of Xichu, we must stand up when there is a crisis." ”
It is precisely because of Li Le's ambition that the Nine Emperor Princes admire him more and more.
But listening to others say that this is the case, the Nine Emperors thought of themselves, frowned, and complained: "Originally, I didn't have many brothers, but now they have been cut down by Chu Jing, and I am the only one left among the many princes, no matter how my father's health is, this throne is always for me, but I really don't want to sit on that throne." ”
These Li Le and Mu Changjin have already thought about it, knowing that the Nine Emperors are such a free and easy character, they don't like to be bound, so they naturally don't want this sure throne.
But the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and according to the inheritance, this throne should belong to the Nine Emperors.
Mu Changjin persuaded loudly: "Being able to become the emperor of Western Chu is also a thing, think about it, build the affairs of the city well, be considerate of the people, and be loved by many people, this kind of treatment can not be asked for by many people." ”
"I know you're telling the truth, but I don't want to be so great, I just want An An to be an idle prince." The Nine Emperors said what was going on in his heart.
"But think about it, if you don't take on this great responsibility, then who will help you, think about your royal efforts for so many years, do you want to give it to others?" Li Le also persuaded him.
The Nine Emperors shook his head and responded helplessly: "I know what you are telling the truth, but before I always felt that there were other brothers in front of me, but now, I am the only one left, I know that I am not that material, and I don't want to take on this responsibility at all." ”
What should have been said has already been said, the Nine Emperor Princes have no intention of loosening at all, Li Le and Mu Changjin know that with the two of them, they can't be persuaded at all, so they can only comfort as much as possible.
"Okay, it's come to this, don't think too much, after all, the final decision hasn't come down yet, and the time will come to cover the water." Li Le persuaded.
"That's all there is to it." The Nine Emperor Princes responded.
At the same time, on the side of the palace, Xia Heyi and others were invited to work together to heal the emperor's condition.
The ministers knelt outside the hall and waited anxiously, and there was a lot of discussion.
"I see, this time the emperor is more than lucky." The prime minister sighed, and he could be regarded as watching the emperor step by step to this day, and now that the princes have been in a situation, he really doesn't know what the future of Xichu will be.
"We have to believe that the emperor has his own natural appearance." The waiter on the side comforted himself and said.
Xia Heyi was mainly responsible for healing, and other imperial doctors assisted him.
From beginning to end, Xia Heyi's brows were furrowed, the emperor was poisoned by Gu and was injured, and his condition was worrying.
"Doctor Xia, how is the emperor's condition?" The eunuch on the side asked, full of worry, he was also an old man who followed the emperor, and he was naturally loyal to the emperor.
Xia Heyi didn't answer, and waited for the palace maid to serve the emperor and take the decoction before taking the pulse again, but the situation was still very bad, and the emperor's life was not long.
"I'm afraid I can't do anything about it." Xia Heyi shook his head and said regretfully.
The imperial doctors were very frightened when they heard this, now that the world's first divine doctors are helpless, how can they have a way.
The emperor is now awake, and when he heard Xia Heyi's words, he coughed a few times and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Xia, you take my last breath, I still have something to order." ”
"Okay." Although he was helpless, Xia Heyi had no choice but to respond, let people find ginseng and other elixirs, and hung the emperor's last breath.
"Call Li Le and Mu Changjin over." The Emperor said weakly.
Knowing that the emperor was going to explain, the father-in-law on the side hurriedly ordered to go down.
Li Le and Mu Changjin received the news of entering the palace and knew that the situation was very bad, so they immediately rushed over, and along the way, Li Le's face was full of worry.
"Ah Le, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, you don't have to worry so much." Seeing Li Le's expression, Mu Changjin persuaded.
"Yes, but that's the emperor, no matter what, it's also the monarch of Western Chu, I'm really a little worried about what will become of Western Chu in the future." No matter when, Li Le always takes the world as his own responsibility.
When they arrived at the palace, the two hurried towards the emperor's bedroom.
Seeing the two of them come to the bedside, the emperor dismissed the others, endured his physical discomfort, and asked, "Do you know why I called you two over at this time?" ”
The two of them shook their heads in unison, their eyes full of sadness when they looked at the emperor.
Although these two children were not watched by the emperor grow up, it is only now that he really realizes who is loyal to the country in this Western Chu.
Li Le almost died for himself, and the emperor naturally could no longer doubt her loyalty to him, as well as Mu Changjin, who has always participated in the war in Xichu and investigated the villains behind him many times, and these emperors have all remembered it.
"The two of you have clear thoughts, are loyal to the country, and are friendly with the Nine Emperors, but now he is the only one left among my princes, and he is not the material to be the emperor, so he naturally needs someone to help, I think about it, I still think that the two of you are the most suitable." After saying this, the emperor spat out a mouthful of blood.
As soon as he remembered that his son died tragically, it was all Chu Jing's doing, and the scene of his brother's brutal killing continued to this day, and the emperor's chest ached.
Seeing this, Li Le hurriedly stepped forward, checked the pulse, and his face became ugly, now the emperor's condition has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it cannot be cured at all.
"Li Le, I know the situation, don't bother, can you agree to my last request?" There was a hint of sincerity in the Emperor's words.
The two naturally had no objections, and hurriedly responded: "I don't need you to say more, we will definitely assist from the side, you can rest assured." ”
"With your words, I will be at ease." The emperor's eyes were full of relief.
After explaining the two of them, the emperor called several ministers in turn, all of whom were loyal to him.
The emperor knew that when Chu Jing forced the palace before, which ministers contributed to the effort, and which ministers were hiding and refused to help, the rewards that should be rewarded, and the punishments that should be punished.
Finally after telling everything, the emperor felt that the burden on his body was much lighter, sighed, he could return with confidence, looked at the direction outside the door, raised his hand, and wanted to say something, but in the end, he was powerless to put it down, and he closed his eyes.
Li Le hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to treat the emperor, but he was already out of breath.
"The Emperor is dead." Li Le shook his head heavily, closed his eyes, and said with pain.
Hearing this, everyone knelt on the ground, and the death bell sounded in the palace, and the people heard it and spontaneously knelt down to pray for blessings.
The emperor's rule of Western Chu, although not much prosperous, but has always been to let the people have no worries about food and clothing, life is stable, can be called a good emperor, every people in their hearts to read his blessings, now that he has died, it is naturally the whole country mourning.
And Li Le and Mu Changjin were both seriously injured when Chu Jing forced the palace before, and they needed to recuperate.
But the emperor died, and many ministers in the court still needed to be relocated, and the two of them had the emperor's trust on their shoulders, and before they had time to recuperate, they had to rush to deal with the emperor's funeral affairs and rectify the court.
Li Le's wound cracked, Mu Changjin saw it in his eyes, he was very distressed, and persuaded him many times: "Ah Le, you rest, let me deal with these things." ”
"There are so many things, how can you do it alone, I'll help you share some of it." Li Le smiled, answered, she didn't care about her injury, she only knew that she had to deal with the situation in Xichu as soon as possible, and she definitely couldn't let those villains in the enemy country have a chance.
Knowing Li Le's temperament, Mu Changjin sighed, didn't say anything more, just dealt with more things in private.
At the same time, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and there was no prince before the emperor's death, even if there is only one of the nine princes, he must not make a decision.
The ministers urgently needed a new emperor to rule, but now the only person who could take charge was the queen, and after a group of ministers discussed it, they went to the queen's bedchamber one after another.
"Queen, this Xichu still needs a monarch, but the first emperor has not set up a prince, what can I do now."
"Yes, we are here this time in the hope that the queen will come up with an idea, so that we can have someone to assist."
The ministers were asking her to help with an idea.
