Emperor Chu wanted to sit up on the bed, but King Xin took two steps forward and carefully helped him up.

The crown prince was full of doubts about why his adviser appeared here, and the Chu Emperor leaned on the head of the bed and said, "I already know what happened today. ”

The crown prince came back to his senses and immediately said, "Father, Uncle Wang wants to rebel......"

Emperor Chu looked at him and said slowly: "If your uncle Wang wanted to rebel, he rebelled a few years ago, and he won't wait until now." ”

The prince's expression was stunned, he looked at him in disbelief, and muttered, "Father, the emperor ......"

"Nao." Emperor Chu looked at him, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and said: "My father taught you a long time ago, to be an emperor in a peaceful and prosperous era, you can be talentless, you can't be virtuous, and to be an emperor in troubled times, you must have talent and virtue, and the national honor can be continued." ”

The crown prince looked at Emperor Chu, as if he realized something, and his face gradually turned pale.

"The state of Chu rose from the end of the micro, and after several generations of emperors, it has the rule of the world today." Emperor Chu looked at him and sighed: "For the sake of the country, for the sake of the people, I can't let you destroy the foundation of the Li family." ”

The prince's face changed wildly, he looked at the strategist, looked at King Xin, and then looked at Emperor Chu, and suddenly laughed and said: "It turns out that you have premeditated, it turns out that you are a gang, liars, you are all liars, return my country to me, return my country to me......"

Emperor Chu closed his eyes and said, "Take the prince down." ”

The two guards took the crown prince down, and the Chu Emperor's eyes slowly opened, looked at King Xin, and asked: "The crown prince is corrupt in virtue and intends to murder the regent, I have decided to depose the prince and officially pass on the throne to you, are you satisfied?" ”

King Xin sighed lightly and said, "Brother Huang is pressing step by step, isn't it just for today?" ”

"I can't help it." Emperor Chu sighed and said: "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, my Chu country seems to rule the world, but in fact, it is surrounded by foreign enemies, and it is much better to be a deposed prince than to be a king of a dead country." ”

"After so many years, the imperial brother has not changed at all." King Xin shook his head and said, "This was the case when I let my brother be regent back then, and it is like this now. ”

Emperor Chu said: "Born in the royal family, this is my duty, and it is also your duty. ”

King Xin said: "This is a duty imposed on me by the imperial brother. ”

Emperor Chu looked at him, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Between brothers, don't worry about this......

King Xin said: "My brother should also settle accounts." ”

Emperor Chu shook his head and said: "After so many years, you haven't changed at all, back then, we hid from our father and sneaked out of the palace to fish, and your bait was not given to me at all; My father has given me twice as much homework as you, and you have never helped me with ......."

King Xin said leisurely: "My father taught us to do our own things. ”

Emperor Chu asked, "So you'd rather be poisoned than help me take care of this world?" ”

King Xin nodded and said: "Poisoning is a temporary thing, but it takes a lifetime to govern the country, this is a headache for the imperial brother, why should you embarrass the younger brother?" ”

"Because I'm jealous......" Emperor Chu's expression was a little angry, and said: "Since I was a child, I have lived more tired than you, my father wants me to do the best in everything, my schoolwork is twice as much as yours, and I only sleep half of yours, I also want to be an idle prince, and I have nothing to do all day long...... you don't know, I don't know how much I envy you......"

"Now it's fine." His frown furrowed, "I can finally get a good night's sleep, I haven't had a good night's sleep in so many years......"

King Xin helped him lie down, helped him cover the quilt, and said, "Then now the imperial brother should have a good rest." ”

"No, I still have some things, and it's never too late to go to sleep when I'm done." He looked at King Xin and said, "Although Zhi'er has no talent and no virtue, but in the end, it is my blood and bones, and I can't give him the throne, so you can help me promise him a lifetime of wealth." ”

King Xin nodded and said, "Brother obeys." ”

Emperor Chu paused for a moment before continuing: "If there is a day when you are tired, let's see if there are any materials that can be made among the children of the imperial family, you can not be the emperor, but the inheritance of the Li family cannot be broken......"

King Xin said: "The younger brother has written it down." ”

"One last thing." Emperor Chu looked at the side of the bed and said, "Let's make a decree." ”

There were already people in the hall who had prepared pen and paper and listened intently.

"I inherited Gaozu and Taizong Hongye for 16 years, and I was conscientious, sympathetic to the ministers, benefiting the people, and maintaining the rule of the world. The crown prince Li Zhi, the lawless ancestor, does not respect the discipline, but is vicious, violent and fornicatory, for the sake of the people, it is difficult to get out of the ......mouths, and now depose the prince Li Zhi and denounce it as a concubine......"

Emperor Chu lay on the bed, finished speaking, and paused for a long time before speaking again.

"Fu Weide moves the sky, and Yuheng is so prefaced; The poor god is intellectualized, and billions of trillions are returned to the heart. I have been appointed by the first emperor and have been above the people for sixteen years. Now I have been suffering from chronic illness for a long time, and I am incapable of governing the country, and I dare not worry about the world.

Li Shun, the king of letters, has been regent for many years, has a valuable character, has made many achievements, and will be able to overcome the unification, succeed me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, proclaim to the world, and make the salty envoy hear about it. ”

These two holy decrees, one is to abolish the crown prince, and the other is to pass on the throne.

When he came to the second word, he had to pause for a long time every time he said a word, but it took a long time to say just a few words.

After finishing speaking, he slowly closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, you all stand down." ”

He was lying on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression was peaceful.

King Xin clenched his fist, quickly let go, bowed down, and said in a low voice: "Brother quit ......"

……

Outside the palace.

The soldiers of the City Patrol Division have surrounded the gate of the palace, looking at it vigilantly.

In the palace, the forbidden army is even more armed, as if facing a great enemy.

The streets of Kyoto have long been deserted, and the people are hiding in their homes, panicking, and the officials have no intention of going to the government, living deep in the palace, sometimes looking in the direction of the palace, with a worried face.

The news of the crown prince's intention to murder the regent at the Empress Dowager's ceremony spread all over Kyoto in a very short period of time, and it has been a long time since King Shin entered the palace.

Kyoto, which has been suppressed for a long time, has finally completely changed today. The contradiction between King Xin and the crown prince has also completely erupted today.

If His Majesty deposes the prince, then the prince will have no chance to ascend the throne, and if His Majesty does not abolish the prince, he will definitely get rid of King Xin.

Whoever comes out of the palace gate today is related to the future pattern of the Chu State, everyone is worried, and the whole of Kyoto has become silent.

At the gate of the city, Tang Ning had been waiting for a long time.

Since King Xin entered the palace, he and Lu Teng and others retreated outside the city gate.

The city is now a powder keg that can be ignited at any time, and it is better to hide far away from the pond fish.

Chen Zhou walked over from a distance and said, "Lord Tang, some people say that they saw a lot of strangely dressed people going north, and it should be the people of the second prince. ”

"Impossible!" Wan Yanyan's face instantly turned pale, and she said, "It's impossible for the second brother and the master to escape, you're lying!" ”

"They must have run away." Chen Zhou looked at her and said, "You assassinated King Xin, staying here will not end well, what can you do if you don't run?" ”

Wan Yan Yan said stubbornly: "They will come to save me!" ”

Chen Zhou said: "They just don't want you anymore......"

"You talk nonsense!" Wan Yan Yan rushed towards Chen Zhou angrily, Tang Ning grabbed her wrist, who expected Wan Yan Yan to grab his hand and bite it, and choked while biting: "It's all your fault!" ”

It's not the first time that this little brute has bitten someone, and Tang Ning was about to shake her off, when his expression suddenly changed and he looked at the city.

From a certain direction in the city, a dull bell rang out.

Wan Yan Yan let go of her mouth, wiped her saliva, raised her head, there were tears in her eyes, and she looked at the city in a daze.

In Kyoto, people are hiding in their homes, listening to the bells, at a loss.

The major high-ranking gates in Beijing, the high-ranking magnates who knew the meaning of the bell, looked shocked.

In the palace, the forbidden soldiers were stunned for a moment, then put down their weapons, turned around and knelt in the direction of a certain palace.

A eunuch came out of the hall and said in a sharp and thin voice: "Your Majesty is dead!" ”
