Everyone has ambitions, especially on the road to the throne, there is never a shortage of careerists.

The original King Xuan, the eldest princess, the second princess, and the king of Beiliang, and now the king of Pingyang.

Under normal circumstances, King Pingyang does not have the courage to covet the throne, and he is not qualified enough.

But now, he has such ambitions.

Maybe he is too old to be an emperor, but the emperor is not bad, as long as he sends his son to the throne, it is also a good thing.

Therefore, after he guessed that the emperor might be seriously ill and bedridden, he couldn't wait to find out the truth.

Once the emperor is really critically ill, then, if Qin Ming is not in the imperial capital, he can use the advantage of his royal blood to find a way to use those ministers who don't want Qin Ming to be the emperor and his relatives to help his son become the emperor.

Thinking of this, King Pingyang smiled confidently and said, "Let's go, go to visit those people of our royal family one by one, I don't believe it, they are also willing to let outsiders sit on the throne." ”

His son also smiled: "That is, once Qin Ming becomes the emperor, these imperial relatives have no blood relationship with Qin Ming, the emperor, and Qin Ming can treat them preferentially?" ”

"That's right, let's go!" King Pingyang found that his son was actually quite smart.

……

Just as these two people were conspiring against each other, the Pure Heart Palace.

After King Cheng entered, he approached the bedside, looked at his imperial brother, and said:

"Why did it fall all of a sudden? Didn't the Imperial Doctor say that it would last at least a month or two? ”

The queen sighed: "Your Majesty's situation is far worse than we imagined, the imperial doctor said...... I'm afraid it's only been these two days......"

King Cheng's body was shocked, kneeling beside the bed and grabbing the emperor's hand with his hand, and called softly: "Brother Huang? Brother Huang? My brother has come to see you~"

However, the emperor did not wake up.

But King Cheng and the Empress were waiting here, and King Cheng spoke from time to time about what had happened between him and the Emperor when he was a child.

I don't know how long it took, but the emperor moved and opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty......"

"Brother Huang?"

The emperor looked at the empress and king Cheng, and said in a weak voice, "I, I'm afraid it won't work......"

"Your Majesty......" The queen's tears couldn't help but fall.

"Queen, do you have any blame... It's strange that I don't give the throne to Lan'er or Shuang'er........." the emperor asked suddenly.

The queen was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I have always been of the same mind with you, and I understand all the decisions you make better than anyone else......"

"Good...... If only I wasn't to blame...... Actually, I'm also helpless...... But Fan Lan'er and Shuang'er are arguing, and it won't be like this, they have disappointed me from the beginning......"

When the emperor said this, the empress nodded: "I understand, Qin Ming is the best choice, I understand......"

"Alas...... I...... It's really disappointing...... My daughter, a woman who knew that I was seriously ill, but left me for selfishness. How can I ask such a mind? How to govern the world?

The other daughter is not very ambitious, but now, I am afraid that many people know that I am seriously ill, but she still doesn't know. ”

The emperor's tone was full of helplessness.

The queen also sighed and said, "Your Majesty, don't think about it too much, just rest well." ”

"No, I can't rest, while I still have the strength now, I have something to order." The emperor said, looking at King Cheng:

"Have you kept the will that I asked Gonggong Liu to send to your house?"

"Brother Huang, how dare you slack off!" King Cheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The emperor nodded: "Brother Cheng, I only have one younger brother, but you must know that if the throne is given to you or to your son Chu Fei, or to other royal children, the result will only lead to the destruction of the Chu State." ”

Prince Cheng nodded seriously and said: "Brother Cheng understands this truth, the state of Chu is already an enemy on all sides, and after the annexation of Liguo became more and more powerful, it became a threat to them from the eyes of all countries.

If there is no tough person to be the emperor, it will only make the Chu State perish after all. And my royal family, there is no one who can do it at all. Fortunately, Qin Ming is also half of the royal family, so his younger brother will definitely support him for the sake of Chu State. ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction: "I rarely communicate with you, but you can understand my thoughts, in addition, after I die, you don't take any measures, if something happens, just watch it, let Qin Ming come back and solve it with your own hands!" ”

King Cheng was stunned and said, "Me and the queen mother, don't you do anything?" ”

"Yes, don't do anything, just let those people do something, including the chaos in the court, don't care, let Qin Ming come back and have a big purge...... Anyway, the imperial examination system he advocated has already helped him reserve a lot of talents! ”

As the Emperor said this, he felt more and more tired.

"Brother Huang, take a break...... "King Cheng said worriedly.

The emperor continued to speak: "When the situation in the DPRK and China is very unoptimistic, I will send news to Qin Ming, and when he comes back at this time, he can clean up those ...... to the greatest extent People who are not kind to him......"

"Brother Chen understands, Brother Huang, take a rest......"

The Emperor stared upwards, his eyes becoming more and more devoid, but he continued:

"Tell Qin Ming to rule the world with benevolence...... The wind and the waves are calm...... Rough...... It will be over~"

"Tell him...... Try to ...... Don't provoke some countries further afield, some countries, more powerful than you can imagine......"

"Tell him ......"

"Queen~Queen...... Back...... Lan'er ...... Let her and ...... Frost ...... ...... a dull life"

…………

The last words didn't seem to be what he said, for his mouth had not moved, only a faint voice came from his throat.

With the faint sound of the last word, there was no more sound.

This old man who has done his best for the Chu State for half his life, even if he has the strength of the middle stage of the sixth grade, at this moment, he finally can't hold it anymore.

In front of the bed, the queen and King Cheng's bodies trembled, the queen's tears kept falling, and King Cheng's eyes were red.

"Brother Huang? Brother Huang? ”

……

In the room, the imperial doctors knelt down and kowtowed, and the eunuchs and palace maids knelt down one after another......

According to the emperor's will, his death does not need to be hidden, everything just happens normally.

As a result, the sound of the emperor's death sounded throughout the palace.

On this day, hundreds of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor and relatives, knelt outside the main hall one after another.

Among them, there are courtiers who lament the sadness of the death of a generation of benevolent emperors, and there are also careerists who are sad on the surface and excited in their hearts.

There is also the second princess who cried extremely sadly, she finally has a conscience than the eldest princess.

On this day, the people of the entire imperial capital were shrouded in the sadness of the fall of a generation of Ming monarchs.

The death of an emperor made the people so sad, which is enough to show the benevolence and sainthood of the Chu Emperor.

It was on this day that the conspiracy careerists began to act!
