Chapter 882: Checks and Balances [Second Update]
"My days are numbered." In the Cultivation Temple, Emperor Chen leaned back in his chair and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "The minister is brave, I want to be the No. 1 vein for Your Majesty." ”
Chen Huang slowly stretched out his hand, and a trace of hope appeared in the depths of his eyes. Although Tang Ning is not a doctor, he can cure the Empress Dowager Shu, and repeatedly solve difficult diseases that even the imperial doctor can't solve, if there is still a possibility of survival, who will give up the hope of life?
Ordinary people are still like this, not to mention that he is the emperor, and Chen Guo is strong, why doesn't he want to see more of this great river and mountain?
When his finger was on Chen Huang's wrist, Tang Ning knew that Chen Huang had run out of oil and dried up.
His pulse was so faint that he couldn't even feel it unless he looked closely. Tang Ning only learned some medical skills, maybe better than ordinary doctors, but it is far from being compared with the imperial doctors, he just has more insight than the imperial doctors, and he does not have the ability to rejuvenate and bring the dead back to life.
Tang Ning's hand was withdrawn from Emperor Chen's wrist, and he didn't say anything, and the glimmer of hope in Emperor Chen's eyes was quickly extinguished again.
Emperor Chen asked, "Has my limit been reached?" ”
Tang Ning didn't answer, and Emperor Chen didn't ask, just lowered his head and said: "People always have to die, I thought I was ready a long time ago, but at this time, I found out that this kind of thing can never be prepared." ”
Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty must follow the instructions of the imperial doctor, and maybe it will continue for some time." ”
Emperor Chen waved his hand laboriously and said, "It's just a matter of lingering, what's the use of continuing for a few days......
After saying these words, he seemed to be a little tired, and after a while, he spoke: "Although I am going to die, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, I have already made an edict, and I am ready to appoint King Duan as the crown prince and govern on my behalf, what do you think?" ”
Tang Ning arched his hand and said: "The matter of establishing a prince, a foreign minister, it is not good to criticize." ”
"What's not to criticize...... Emperor Chen pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I know, you must think that I am a faint king." ”
"The minister has no ......"
"I know you have."
……
In fact, Tang Ning really had it, but it was still a little embarrassing to be exposed by Emperor Chen in person, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Emperor Chen did not continue the topic, and spoke again: "In fact, half a year ago, when King Kang rebelled, seeing King Duan's performance on the altar, I was already completely disappointed in him, and decided to pass on the throne to Yuan'er......
He was silent for a long time before he said regretfully: "It's a pity that God is not willing to give it to me for even five years." ”
"Yuan'er is still too young, there is no way to deal with the government, and he can't suppress the officials of the court, if someone holds him hostage, in order to hold the government hostage, for Chen Guo, for the court, it is a catastrophe ......, the most important thing is that although Yuan'er is filial, but there is no emperor's talent, let alone the heart of the emperor, although King Duan is not a good prince, nor is he a good person, but to be an emperor, he is more suitable than Yuan'er."
Tang Ning thought that Emperor Chen was terminally ill and delirious, so he made the mediocre decision to pass on the throne to King Duan.
Unexpectedly, although he was about to die of illness, his thinking was clearer than anyone else.
Although Zhao Yuan wants to be the emperor, his motives are not pure, being an emperor is just the process he wants to achieve his dream of the harem, not the goal.
Three-year-old looks big, seven-year-old looks old, Zhao Yuan's temperament has been formed, if there are no major changes in the future, his personality will not change much.
Tang Ning is Zhao Yuan's husband and his biggest helper on the road to succession, but he asks himself, and he doesn't think that Zhao Yuan can govern a country well.
The biggest possibility is that Zhao Yuan succeeded to the throne, and Concubine Fang Shufei and the Fang family controlled the government, this kind of control, even if it was not the control of the dynasty that covered the sky and chaos with one hand, it must not be what Emperor Chen was willing to see.
Compared with King Run, the Tang family behind King Duan has been defeated, and in him, Emperor Chen does not have the same concerns as King Run.
Although Tang Ning was not an emperor, he could understand Emperor Chen's mood and understand his thoughts.
It is precisely because he is not an emperor and not a member of the royal family that he has to stand on his own position, and his position is that King Duan will never be able to sit in that supreme position.
Tang Ning didn't ask Emperor Chen why he didn't choose King Huai, he already knew the inside story of the events back then, and knew that this was a very stupid question.
"I don't have a choice." Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "I know that you and the Tang family have a life-and-death feud, but the Tang family has fallen into such a situation, the hatred in your heart should have been extinguished...... King Duan has no deep hatred with you, I will summon him into the palace and let him let go of his hostility towards you, I hope you can also ignore the past suspicions and assist him well......
Tang Ning showed a wry smile on his face at the right time, and said: "I'm afraid His Royal Highness Duan Wang won't agree, a few days ago, he wanted to kill his father-in-law......
Emperor Chen coughed and said, "I give you a dragon whip, the upper beating the unconscious king, the lower beating the ministers, seeing the king is exempt, seeing the whip is like seeing me!" ”
The dragon whip is a legendary thing, at least it has not appeared in the Chen State, however, the imperial power is the largest in the Chen State, it is said that the upper beat the unconscious monarch, and the lower beating the ministers, but if the emperor is out of the way, he doesn't care if he will be saddled with violating the premonitions of the first emperor and leaving a stench for thousands of years.
With Tang Ning's understanding of King Duan, he didn't look like a person who would follow the rules.
Tang Ning knew what Emperor Chen meant, although he passed the throne to King Duan, he was still worried that the world he had managed with great difficulty would be defeated in the hands of King Duan.
He wants to use Tang Ning to contain Duan Wang, and at the same time, he also wants to use Duan Wang to contain Tang Ning.
Even if Tang Ning is powerful, he is a minister after all, and a minister is a minister, but he can't help the emperor, although King Duan is the emperor, but Tang Ning has the dragon whip entrusted by the first emperor, and he doesn't dare to do anything to Tang Ning easily.
Tang Ning glanced at Emperor Chen, and sighed in his heart, he did not forget to use the checks and balances he was best at until he died.
Tang Ning bowed his hand and said, "The minister should do his best and live up to His Majesty's entrustment." ”
Emperor Chen waved his hand, and two eunuchs stepped forward and helped him up, Emperor Chen closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, you go down......"
Tang Ning arched his hand and said, "The minister retreats." ”
The two eunuchs helped Emperor Chen to rest, Tang Ning and Wei Jian withdrew from the main hall and closed the door of the palace, Wei Jian arched his hand to him, and said: "When Concubine Tang Hui is here, thank you Lord Tang for speaking for us......"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Wei is polite, they are all friends, and Mr. Wei is in front of His Majesty, and he has spoken for his own officials......"
Tang Ning said goodbye to Wei Jian and walked down the steps in front of the palace, Wei Jian's voice came from behind him again.
"Outside the palace, Lord Tang can toss, in this palace, it is not a place where Concubine Hui can call the shots."
Tang Ning paused, a smile appeared on his face, and he did not respond, striding towards the outside of the palace.
He has never forgotten that the old eunuch who followed Emperor Chen was not only the chief of the chamberlain, the eunuch and the maid in the palace, but also the biggest eyes and ears of Emperor Chen, the leader of the secret spy department.
The head of the largest spy agency in the Chen State, even if he grovels to everyone, is by no means as simple as it seems.
