You don't have to worry, it's getting late today, you can rest first, the retainers are still waiting for you to be in good health and come out to preside over the government. After saying that, the prince lifted his robe and strode away.

In the cold palace, the king of Chu sat in a daze, the whole person seemed to be settled, his brows were frowned, and he had a very uneasy feeling in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

The emperor's abnormal face was found in front of him, and the king of Chu suddenly had a palpitation and opened his eyes suddenly.

Father, father is only afraid of more than auspicious!

King Chu's eyes were quietly filled with a layer of mist, and a drop of crystal clear slipped from the corner of his eye, crossing an intoxicating arc in the moonlight.

The commander of the guards was still beside him to consol, it was nothing more than that the situation was critical now, and the king of Chu should focus on the overall situation.

The king of Chu stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, and smiled lowly when he heard the words.

The big picture, the big picture, hehe, he was suddenly a little confused, and he didn't know what the point of winning that throne was. My father is also the king of a country, but now? Now he is forced by the prince to be powerless, and his life is in his hands.

The commander of the guards was a little anxious, at this time, the king of Chu must not have any intention of retreating, they finally came to this point, once the king of Chu relaxed, it would be all over.

"Lord, the prince is not a benevolent monarch, if the country is handed over to him, the people of Li will never have peace." The commander of the guards said in a deep voice.

"The king doesn't want to see anyone shed any more blood." The King of Chu shook it in the void, as if he had taken the bright moon into his arms.

Hearing the words of King Chu without fighting spirit, the commander of the guards suddenly became anxious, "Lord, the prince will not give up, even if you are willing to withdraw, he will not stop, the emperor is still in the hands of the prince, Lord Xie and Miss Chi are outside, don't be discouraged." ”

The king of Chu was silent and did not speak, and after a long while, he let out a long breath, "This king knows, just now this king wanted to go wrong, you pay attention to precautions, the prince is insidious, maybe there will be a follow-up." ”

Seeing that he had moved, the commander of the guards quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of competing with the crown prince, but they were afraid that the king of Chu would retreat himself. Now that there is the words of the King of Chu, he is relieved.

At the same time, on the other side, a eunuch hurriedly ran over and said to the prince who closed his eyes and recuperated, "Your Highness, Your Highness is not well, Your Majesty has suddenly become ill." ”

The crown prince opened his eyes, "What do you mean?" ”

The emperor had always been sick, but he understood that when the little eunuch said these words, there must have been another situation.

"Your Majesty is groggy and doesn't know people clearly, but he has been nagging the name of the King of Chu."

Hearing this, the prince strode out, glanced at the little eunuch, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a smile, "King Chu? He wants to see the King of Chu, hehe, that's good, this prince will fulfill him! ”

So, while the prince sent someone to find the imperial doctor, he also sent someone to inform the king of Chu.

"Your Majesty is suddenly very seriously ill, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks you to come over quickly." The eunuch sent by the prince retold the prince's meaning eloquently.

Before the king of Chu could speak, the commander of the guards spoke to stop him, "The prince can't, this is probably the prince's plan!" ”

Facing the obstruction of the guards, the king of Chu waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Whether it is or not, my father is sick, and this king has to go to see a card." ”

"But the prince ......" the guards are in a hurry.

The King of Chu looked directly at him and pointed sharply, "Do you think we can stay here all the time?" Can you skip a meal today and skip a meal tomorrow? ”

The commander of the guards who said this lowered his head, yes, there is no food here, and there are people surrounding outside, sooner or later, they will go out.

But he was still unwilling, and proposed, "Why don't you kill it and rescue Your Majesty?" ”

King Chu shook his head lightly, "The prince is not stupid, and he doesn't say that this palace is full of his people, let's do it first, and the prince will have an excuse, and then announce to the people of the world that it is the king who moves first, and he can ascend the throne logically." ”

And what the King of Chu has to do now is to make the position of the crown prince unjustifiable!

No matter how worried the commander of the guards was about the safety of the king of Chu, the king of Chu still insisted on going to the emperor's bedroom. The crown prince had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw him appear, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are still here." ”

The king of Chu ignored him and went straight towards the dragon bed.

"Father!" Seeing the skinny old man who was tortured on the bed, King Chu called out in a heartbroken voice.

After the imperial doctor finished the diagnosis and treatment, he was just about to get up and leave, but he was dragged by the king of Chu and asked viciously, "How is my father?" ”

The imperial physician frowned in embarrassment, "Lord, Your Majesty's body has been hollowed out, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's ......" The imperial doctor's words were not finished, but the king of Chu understood what he meant.

"Chu ......" At this time, the emperor, who had fallen into a coma, suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at King Chu, his lips moved, obviously he had something to say.

"Father!" The king of Chu couldn't care about the imperial doctor anymore, and rushed over quickly. The prince's heart sank, and he blocked in front of the king of Chu, and there was no expression on his face.

"Get out of the way!" Looking at the prince in front of him who blocked his way, the King of Chu's eyes were scarlet, like a wild beast.

The prince glanced at him with a smile, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "You are a traitor who stole the jade seal, how dare I let you get close to my father, who knows what kind of heart you have, in case you take the opportunity to do something, what will the prince do with you?" ”

"You!" The so-called thief shouts to catch the thief, and that's probably it.

When the emperor saw the king of Chu, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, he obviously had something to say, and in a hurry, he straightened his waist and looked straight at the king of Chu with his eyes. A sentence flowed from his lips, "The King of Chu is not ......"

"Father! Xiao Anzi, his father is tired, and he doesn't help him lie down! The crown prince snapped, interrupting the emperor's words.

The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, ignoring the emperor's resistance, and rudely covered his mouth.

Originally, the emperor relied on that breath, but now that he was angry, he was treated rudely by the eunuchs, and the whole person fell straight on the bed, with his eyes open, and there was no sound.

He just went like this, and he didn't blink an eye.

King Chu was stunned for a long time before he shouted in disbelief, "Doctor, Doctor, come here!" ”

The outside is full of the prince's people, and there is no imperial doctor.

The King of Chu turned to hold the crown prince's shoulder and shook it wildly, "That's also your father, how can you bear it, you are a beast with a human face, how can you bear it!" ”

The forbidden army immediately stepped forward and restrained the king of Chu.

The crown prince took a step back, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, and glanced at him coldly, "Traitor, you stole the jade seal, angry with your father, and you should be punished for your crimes. ”

The king of Chu was dragged down with red eyes. The prince looked at the person on the dragon bed, and finally, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and he laughed silently.

The person who should not be there is gone, and the person who should die is about to die, this world, it is his!

The crown prince shook his sleeves, strode out of the dormitory with his hands in his hands, and his voice came from afar, "Tell the world that the emperor is dead!" ”

Soon, the death knell sounded in the palace, and the bell from the palace was heard throughout the capital.

People stopped on the streets, listened carefully to the bells, counted silently in their hearts, and then were shocked, one hundred and eight times, the one in the palace was gone.

The emperor's funeral was presided over by the prince, and the Ministry of Rites was ordered to do it very solemnly. Every household in Beijing is filial piety, and it is forbidden to drink and entertain for 100 days.

The prince has done things extremely beautifully, even the most picky person has nothing to say. The King of Chu in the Heavenly Prison just watched all this coldly. On the day of the funeral, facing the direction of the imperial mausoleum, he kowtowed ten heads.

When the dust settled, the civil and military officials kowtowed and asked the prince to ascend the throne.

The crown prince pretended to refuse, "My father is newly mourned, and this prince is sad in his heart, how can he ascend the throne at this time?" ”

The sycophants below couldn't wait to support the prince's ascension, "His Royal Highness the prince, the country cannot be without a king for a day, even if you are grieving, you can't abandon the state affairs." ”

Seeing that the prince still refused, the ministers below knelt on the ground, and on the Jinluan Palace, everyone kowtowed to ask the prince to take the throne.

The prince who was in a comfortable mood was very happy, but he still reluctantly raised his hand and motioned to everyone to calm down, "Since you say so, it is not easy for the prince to refuse, but the prince has been saddened by his father's death recently, and he has no time to take care of other things, so the matter of ascending the throne has to be bothered by the Ministry of Rites." ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites, who was named, immediately came out of the ranks, "The minister must do his best." ”

While waiting for the arrival of the enthronement ceremony, the crown prince couldn't wait to live in the palace where the emperor lived, which was called a beautiful name to facilitate the handling of court and political affairs.

Now that he is the most powerful person in the entire government and the opposition, who dares to question him?

The crown prince can't wear the emperor's court clothes now, but he has worn them hundreds of times in private, and every time he asks the eunuch who is waiting, "How is this prince wearing this dress?" ”

The eunuch complimented, "Very good, it's just tailor-made for you." ”

He never got tired of hearing these words, and he was extremely proud in his heart.

He also disliked the Ministry of Rites for being too slow, and ordered someone to ask him, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was sweating profusely and told the people sent by the prince, "Qin Tianjian has not chosen a good day yet, and Weichen is already trying his best to prepare." ”

The crown prince frowned secretly, but in order to convince the world, he still had to ask Qin Tianjian to choose a good day. It was calculated that it would be half a month later, and when the prince heard it, he vetoed it, "No, it's too long, this prince can't wait that long." ”

So, Qin Tianjian guessed the prince's thoughts and gave a date three days later.

Although the crown prince was still not satisfied, he thought that it was a big deal to ascend the throne, and he couldn't be too sloppy, and he had to give the Ministry of Rites time to prepare, so he reluctantly agreed.

On this day, after the prince had taken care of the matter, he wandered around the palace and inspected his territory. Suddenly, someone reported that Mr. Zhang asked to see him.

The prince didn't want to see it, but after asking which Lord Zhang it was, he was a little hesitant, just because this Lord Zhang is no longer in the court, but he is the prince's former teacher. Because he is more pedantic and old-fashioned, he likes to preach, so the prince doesn't like him.
