2. Sunset West Mountain

The old emperor has recently been at the age of the twilight of the West Mountain, and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital has been pounced in the Golden Dragon Hall day and night, hanging the anger of the emperor who has not yet established a prince, and the three generations of loyal old ministers are also bitterly admonishing, hoping that the old emperor can establish a prince to ensure the stability and prosperity of the country.

But the old emperor probably felt that he had not enjoyed enough power in his short ten years as an emperor, or perhaps he felt that among his only ridiculous sons, he could not choose someone who could take on this great responsibility, and he was reluctant to give up this power and wealth to the regent with the surname of the foreign surname, so he did not make a decision for a long time.

It is said that the illness is like a mountain, and now it is time to have to make a decision, the old emperor is lying on the dragon collapse, thinking about which of the sons who are not angry is more suitable to inherit the throne.

After thinking for a while, the old emperor felt that only the second prince Kang Yan was barely honest and honest, and he was willing to study hard, so he called his personal eunuch and solemnly spoke.

"When I die, you will pass on this throne to..."

Halfway through his words, he heard a male voice say, "Your Majesty, the regent asks to see you." ”

The old emperor's face, which was already full of wrinkles, wrinkled even deeper, and continued: "Pass it to the second..."

There was only a "bang" and the door was kicked open.

The old emperor hurriedly said, "To the second emperor..."

Suddenly, there seemed to be a mouthful of blood gushing up in his throat, and the salty taste made it impossible for the old emperor to finish his words.

"This king is bold and offends the emperor, but this king has something important to report, so he can't take care of these false courtesies." Although the words were sincere and polite, there was nothing wrong with it, but the tone was full of domineering, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly condensed to the extreme, and the people in the room all knelt on the ground, looking at the man who was as tall as a god in front of him, and held his breath.

And this person is the old emperor who is suspicious and very jealous of the regent of Zhaoyue, Qi Yan.

Zhaoyue is the largest country in the Central Plains, since the founding emperor Kang Yao has been established for more than 200 years, the descendants of the Kang family have continued to this day, prosperous, but the old emperor indulged in crusade against the army, although the national territory is expanding day by day, but the people are miserable, and the famine has been going on for many years.

The people's hearts were turbulent, and Qi Yan was promoted to the first regent to assist the emperor in rectifying the world. He personally led his troops to fight, and wherever he went, he could bring the definite defeat back to life, and he was in the limelight for a while. Qi Yan claimed to be the descendant of the royal family of the side branch of the Kang family, but as for which side branch of the Kang family and which descendant of the royal family, no one said. Therefore, his true background is also unknown.

However, ordinary people don't care what Qi Yan's identity is, as long as he can bring stability to the people, who can control so much.

Qi Yan continued: "I just got the news that the little county lord of the queen's mother's family, who has a delicate heart, was kidnapped by a group of black-clothed people. This king has sent someone to investigate, thinking that this queen's mother's family is powerful, and the little county lord is the queen's sister Shen Chen's old daughter, so the matter is big, so he has to report to the emperor first. ”

The old emperor sighed in his heart, this Qi Yan was indeed cunning, threatening the daughter of Prime Minister Shen Cheng and the queen's sister, who were the most powerful in the court. The reason why he married Chen as the princess was also because his mother's family was powerful, and the queen's brothers and fathers were both generals of Zhenguo, and it was the old emperor who was able to successfully sit on the emperor's throne ten years ago and named her the queen. It is only to blame that the emperor spoiled the queen endlessly, which made the Chen family even more arrogant.

After a while, the old emperor said, "The regent thinks... Cough... Take a yellow-haired girl and threaten me, will I be controlled by you? ”

Qi Yan's expression didn't seem to change much, he just said, "What the emperor is saying, this king can't understand." This king only knows that if something happens to the little county lord, Prime Minister Shen Cheng and the general of Zhenguo will not stop there. Even if the second prince Kang Yan succeeds in ascending the throne, he... You can't sit for a few days as an emperor, right? At that time, the country that the Kang family has worked so hard to fight will probably be handed over, and maybe other countries will take the opportunity to attack our country when they see the chaos in our country? When the time comes, it will be stinking for 10,000 years. ”

"You..."

Before a word could be uttered, another eunuch hurriedly came in and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is asking to see you outside the palace." ”
