"Your Majesty, the true dragon son of heaven, with the blessing of the gods, it will be fine." Tian Shaotu comforted.

It's just that now that the war has just ended, there are still many things to be dealt with, no matter how worried Yu Wenxuan is about his father, he can't leave the 50,000 soldiers under his command and the tens of thousands of people in Jiaozhou and return to Beijing quickly.

"Someone!" Yu Wenxuan shouted.

"Your Highness!" A pro-soldier ran quickly.

"The order will go down, the whole army will rest, and the squad will return to the DPRK in five days." Yu Wenxuan commanded.

"No!"

……

Inside the palace, a group of people hurriedly ran in small steps.

"Father, the Imperial Doctor will be here soon, you must be fine." Prince Yuwen knelt beside the emperor's dragon couch.

After the emperor was seriously ill, the prince had already acted as an agent for political affairs, and Yuwenduan came to ask the emperor for peace after eating in the afternoon as usual, but unexpectedly, when the father and son were talking, the emperor suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and Yuwenduan hurriedly ordered someone to call the imperial doctor.

"Duan'er." The emperor's eyes were cloudy, his lips were chapped, and he waved his hand weakly to Yuwenduan, "Father's body Father knows best." ”

"No, no, Father, you wait, the Imperial Doctor will be here soon." Yu Wenduan's voice was trembling, and the hand holding the emperor was also trembling.

The door opened, and all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital entered, kneeling on the ground: "Ministers to Your Majesty, to His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Excuse me, come and see." Yu Wenduan stood up and said to several imperial doctors.

The most respected Imperial Physician of the Tai Hospital first stepped forward to check the emperor's pulse, but his face immediately changed greatly, he knelt on the ground, and spit out a few words with difficulty: "Your Highness, Your Highness...... Your Majesty, he ......"

Although I know the result, although I have prepared in my heart. But when this news is really confirmed, it is still difficult to accept.

"Impossible, impossible......" Yuwenduan's eyes suddenly turned red and shook his head stupidly.

"Duan'er." The emperor called Yuwenduan's name.

Yuwenduan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and moved to the emperor's side: "Father." At this time, he could not cry.

"Go down, all of you." The emperor gestured to a group of imperial doctors, eunuchs, and palace maids.

"No."

"Duan'er, my father's time has come, my father is very happy, and I can have you with me during this last time." When the emperor speaks, he always smiles, is kind and warm. At this time, he did not seem to be a monarch, but an ordinary father.

Yuwenduan didn't interject, silently wept and listened silently.

"How's Xuan'er doing?" The emperor grabbed his son's hand and asked slowly.

"Back to my father, I just received a letter from Xuan Er in the afternoon, in which he said that all the plundered cities had been recaptured, and that the South Vietnamese State had surrendered and agreed to a series of compensation terms proposed by our dynasty, and at the same time expressed his willingness to return to it." Yuwen said.

"Okay, okay." The smile on the emperor's face was even stronger, full of pride, pride in his youngest son, "Xuan'er, this child, I can't rest assured." He was gifted, intelligent, kind, and filial. But he is too simple, impetuous, and arrogant. Your brother is very affectionate, and you should take care of him more in the future, but you must not indulge in indulgence. When he comes back this time, he will be crowned king, the edict has already been prepared by his father, and it can be regarded as my reward for him. ”

Speaking of Yu Wenxuan, Yu Wenduan's heart couldn't help but feel warm, he and Yu Wenxuan were both born to the queen, the two brothers are fourteen years apart, Yu Wenxuan has been taken by him since he was very young, when it comes to his love for his younger brother, he is no less than his father and queen mother.

"Yes, Erchen must take good care of his younger brother." Yuwen said.

The emperor nodded lightly: "Duan'er, you are modest and cautious, and you are kind-hearted. This is your strength, but also your weakness. When it is time to be ruthless, we must be ruthless, and we must not be soft. ”

"Son, remember." Yuwenduan nodded.

"As a monarch, he should be people-oriented and care for the people...... Ahem, cough ......" As he was speaking, the emperor coughed a few times, and the bright red on his palms fell like the remnant sun outside the window.

Yuwenduan instantly became nervous: "Father." He called.

"It doesn't matter." The emperor shook his fingers, and then said, "You have to be humble and admonishable, know people well, and be close to the virtuous and far-reaching......"

The sun was silently moving to the west, and was about to plunge headlong below the horizon. Its light was reflected on the body of Yuwen's father and son through the window, the emperor squinted and glanced out the window, his eyes were still cloudy, perhaps because of the light, his eyes were full of warmth, "I should go to your mother, Duan'er, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will entrust it to you, and my father believes that you will definitely become a good emperor." Father and Queen Mother will always watch over you and bless you in heaven. ”

"Ah......" The emperor let out a long sigh, the eyes that looked at Yuwenduan finally closed slowly, the last light of the sunset left the emperor's face, and his old hands holding Yuwenduan also fell.

Tears flowed down Yu Wenduan's face, like rain with a broken thread, and he choked and muttered: "Father, the son will live up to your expectations!" ”

Yuwenduan pushed open the door, held two holy decrees in his hands, and walked out with a sluggish face.

"Father, the emperor is dead." Yuwen said.

As soon as the words fell, everyone outside the door hurriedly knelt down and shouted sadly.

The next morning, Yu Wenduan stood in front of the dragon chair and said to the ministers, "The first emperor died yesterday, and my father's deathbed is located in me. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers fell to their knees.

……

On the official road, a contingent of tens of thousands of people marched neatly and vigorously, and the joy of victory was faintly revealed in the slaughter. The soldiers were dressed in black armor with white feathers on their chests. The soldiers on both sides carry the national flag of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the flags of Yuwen, Tianzi, Zhang Zi and other generals, and there is a square military flag with black edges on a white background in the team, and there is a black tiger pattern in the middle of the flag, and there are two white feathers under the pattern. This team is the Black Feather Army under Yu Wenxuan, who is known as the number one lion in the world.

The three people riding in front of the team were undoubtedly Yu Wenxuan, Tian Shaotu and Zhang Shaohua.

The three friends chatted on the way, and Tian Shaotu asked Zhang Shaohua: "Shaohua, have you settled the relationship with Miss Xin'er?" ”

"That is, when will our brother be able to drink your wine?" Yu Wenxuan hurriedly answered excitedly.

"It's decided, get married at the end of the year." Zhang Shaohua replied frankly.

"Hey, I'm not ashamed at all, hahaha......" Yu Wenxuan laughed.

This smile made Zhang Shaohua blush, and retorted: "What are you laughing at, listen to my father, your affairs are not much for Your Majesty to worry about." And you, Lao Tian. You are two years older than the two of us, Uncle Tian is probably in a hurry in the past few years. ”

"Huh? It's on me. Don't worry, I'll talk about it in two years. I'm not like someone, Sister Cheng Tianxin is Sister Changxin Sister is short. Tian Shaotu also deliberately teased Zhang Shaohua.

After hearing this, Yu Wenxuan once again laughed heartlessly regardless of his image.

While the three of them were talking and laughing, the two of them came quickly, Zhang Shaohua subconsciously tightened the spear in his hand, and Yu Wenxuan was in front of him to protect Tian Shaofu, who was slightly inferior in martial arts. This is the tacit understanding that the three of them have accumulated over the years.

When someone approached, I looked at it and realized that it was my own person. The two of them stopped their horses, turned over, knelt down on one knee and said, "The servant asks His Highness to say goodbye, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let you return to the palace quickly, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, he died. ”

"What?" Yu Wenxuan jumped off his horse and grabbed the collar of the eunuch who spoke.

"You say it again?" Yu Wenxuan yelled, "I'm telling you, it's best not to talk nonsense!" Do you know what sin it is? ”

Zhang Shaohua, Tian Shaotu and other generals also dismounted, their faces were incredible.

"Minions, minions don't dare to deceive Your Highness, Your Majesty did die the day before yesterday. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered the two servants to report quickly, so that you can return to Beijing as soon as possible. ”

Yu Wenxuan's heart was beating faster and faster, his eyes were misty, his mouth was panting, and the relaxed blinking of the two friends he had talked and laughed with before disappeared. He leaned on his spear and closed his eyes to calm down.

He opened his eyes and ordered Zhang and Tian to lead the army forward quickly, and then left without waiting for anyone to respond.

Along the way, he wore the stars and the moon, day and night, and finally returned to Chang'an at noon two days later. This is also thanks to the dark cloud snow BMW under his crotch, and if he changed to an ordinary war horse, I am afraid that he would have died of exhaustion.

After entering the palace, go straight to the imperial study.

At this time, Yuwen was discussing the government with the minister, and the chief eunuch Han Gonggong came in from outside the door and stepped forward quickly: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Xuan is back." ”

Before Gonggong Han's words were finished, he saw Yu Wenxuan rushing into the house with tears on his face, ignoring the salute of the ministers, and suddenly knelt on the ground after seeing Yu Wenduan, "Third brother, third brother ......"

Seeing this, Yuwenduan felt a tingling pain in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his younger brother up. suppressed the same sad emotions in his heart, and forcibly endured not to let his eye circles get wet. The ministers had already bowed and left.

"Xuan'er." Yuwenduan evoked Yuwenxuan from his sadness.

"Third brother, father and emperor ......" Yu Wenxuan sobbed and choked.

Yu Wenduan nodded painfully, and answered Yu Wenxuan.

"Before my father died, I was with him. He was painless, and he left peacefully. Yuwenduan comforted.

Yu Wenxuan lowered his head and was silent. Yuwenduan patted his younger brother's shoulder, "Okay, the deceased is gone, don't be too sad." The father is going to reunite with the queen mother, if you are like this, the father will be distressed. ”

Yu Wenxuan nodded, still not speaking.

Yu Wenduan continued, "Manly man, don't cry. Go down and freshen up and change your clothes. Eat together in the evening. Well? ”

"Okay." Yu Wenxuan agreed.

Even though he suppressed his sadness, he still felt very guilty in his heart. Yu Wenxuan hated why he didn't quell the war earlier, hated why he didn't rush back to the capital earlier, and hated why he couldn't see his father for the last time. All this has become the biggest regret of his life.
