On the eve of the winter solstice, fine snow also drifts in the sky over the long moon, and the powder is generally sprinkled all over the sky, adding a layer of solemnity to the countless colors of the Xiongxiong Emperor. The winter solstice is a big festival, second only to or equivalent to Zhengdan, but for the imperial court of all dynasties, this day should be congratulated by all countries and hundreds of bureaucrats, and Zhengdan should also be congratulated, but that is limited to the ministers and officials, and the winter solstice is a custom to order the vassals of various places, feudal officials and foreign envoys to come to the court, and if they can't come to the court, they must hand over a letter to ask for guilt and explain the reason...... As long as this number of etiquette is missing, the court can basically assert that he has no intention of surrendering.

Today, it's heavier than ever.

With the army in the west, destroy the country and the cotton, with the army in the northern plain, chase the Eastern Xia, the great martial arts, all the outside, since then the king of the Southern Dynasty is no longer lonely, the king of the cotton has moved from Changyue, although there is no intersection, but silently accompany him.

However, such a grand day is a bit unusual, solemn and sad, snowflakes fall from above, many of them have plunged into patches of snow white, the palace has begun to prepare for white, the emperor, has not opened his eyes for three days.

A team of doctors came to consult......

They all said that they were afraid that they would not wake up this time. Before, the imperial doctors all said that if it was good, the emperor would be able to live until the beginning of tomorrow spring, but the complicated state affairs always disturbed him, sucked his energy, and destroyed his spirit. The important ministers around him did not leave the palace, and finally the emperor's generals themselves wore armor to guard the palace gate, and the town troops from all over the country had received orders to come to Beijing...... Including Taukan in the northeast. This is the moment of alternation of state power, and only when military power is not easy and generals are loyal will the country not be chaotic.

However, this piece of snow white was prepared early.

The emperor woke up from his sleep the night before the winter solstice, as if since he succeeded to the throne, and even since he was born, the sweetest sleep, yes, the sweetest, some people were caught in the whirlpool of power as soon as they were born, and there was no stop, no rest, however, Jingkang because of this person, presented a sense of prosperity, the four seas were unified, and all ethnic groups were served, and the emperor not only woke up, but also seemed to be in good spirits.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask some questions that he cared about.

He asked: "Have the Cotton monarchs and ministers arrived in Beijing?" ”

The prince served on his knees and nodded to one of the ministers, to which he replied, "Here we are." ”

He asked the prince again: "Does your uncle control the army in the capital?" ”

The prince replied respectfully, "I have already taken over." ”

The emperor asked, "How much money?" ”

Another minister said: "After we have delivered Lingwu and the surrounding Hetao, the money of Dongxia has not yet arrived, and the exchange rate has been stabilized to 1,800 Wen, and in a few days, it will be restored as before." It's just that ...... still have to be released," he hesitated, snuffing out his words.

The issuance of new money is a matter after the death of the emperor, how can you wait to talk about it?

The minister felt that he had said the wrong thing, and his expression was a little dazed...... The emperor didn't care at all, and then asked the prince: "Proposed to move the Eastern Xia side out of the Northern Plains in advance, did Dia Bird accept it?" The prince hurriedly replied, "I have accepted it." Dongxia replied that the treasury had not been moved, and the winter solstice was the last move of the people who withdrew to the country. ”

The Emperor nodded.

The prince also said: "Many military gates were aiming for the prosperity of the Northern Plains before the battle, and now there is a lack of military spending, and when they see that Dongxia wants to move the treasury clean, their hearts are very unbalanced, staring at those treasury, repeatedly causing friction, and even kidnapping the people who guard the treasury in Dongxia." Dongxia has negotiated many times, presumably the sooner they move north, the more beneficial it will be for them, but these treasury are extremely large, should he really let him take them to the north. ”

The emperor said desolately, "Give it to him." If he can conquer the northern desert, won't he create a foundation for our Yong people? If only he could be at peace with you. It's good to be in peace. Don't let your sister have a miserable life. That northern cold. His voice was soft, full of mourning: "I have always been for you, always ......for you" He patted the prince's hand and cried: "My poor daughter. But soon, he stopped, his eyes showed a deep light again, stared at the prince lying in front of the couch and asked, "Have the envoys of Dongxia entered Beijing?" ”

The crown prince replied, "I have entered the capital." ”

The emperor nodded and demanded: "Dress me for the coronation, I don't go to sacrifice to the sky, you go on my behalf, I still have to accept the congratulations of the foreign envoys and hundreds of officials for the last time." ”

The crown prince was stunned and said, "Father." ”

The Emperor nodded, his beard shaking frequently.

The prince hurriedly said, "It's still early." ”

The emperor said, "I have the strength to wear it, and I can hold it out." ”

He demanded: "I can't die yet, I have to resist, if I want to die, I will die until after the winter solstice, now the foreign ministers are gathered in the court, as soon as I die, the news will be spread all over the world in a few days, which is not conducive to the stability of the country, and I will show my face, which is beneficial to you." Good for the country. As long as the country is in good hands, I have to move through, no matter how difficult it is. He was numb in his throat, choked, asked for a handkerchief, it was a mouthful of dark blood, he didn't know how to hide it, stuffed it into his sleeve, and then threw it away from the darkness.

After a slight change of clothes, burning incense and bathing, the emperor barely opened his eyes, how to take it, the skin on his body has lost its elasticity, and he pressed a pit.

Finally, it was washed.

Seven or eight eunuchs gathered around, each holding a part of his crown robe, and the prince stood on one side.

The west is dusk, the sky is snowy, a stone dragon is nailed in an instant, like a dense beating, next to the Xuan room, several figures float on the box paper, and the eunuch with the cry singing: "The head of the dragon is three inches, hanging ears, tied to the Tianhe belt......" I don't know when, the crown is worn, but only four watches, the emperor sits on the couch, his hands hang down his knees, but like an iron tree.

The secluded deep palace sank in the snowy night, as if it had sunk to the ground, to a deep sea that did not fall into the edges.

The emperor sat like that, and the ministers and princes on duty were all driven out by him, and he sat in this still world, but his eyes were never closed, and he squinted repeatedly, but he never closed them again.

The rooster sings white.

The whole court came alive again.

The music of the main hall hummed and roared...... That tremor affected the court and the imperial capital...... Ringing in people's ears. Tiger Ben Wan Cavalry, Jin Wu, Yu Lin Wei, front and back, left and right armies...... Rows of soldiers lined up in a formation, ministers and envoys from each region, various flag ceremonies, golden gourd axes, passed outside the palace gate, and the people poured into the streets, stopped outside several inner cities, and the most they saw was the noon gate offering prisoners.

Cotton's, Dongxia's.

The big cotton is true, and the monarch and the minister are a piece.

In Eastern Xia, because of the conditions for peace, there has been an exchange, but now it is the imperial court that is looking for some of its own soldiers to play.

The shouts of the prosperity of the country are wave after wave, neat and consistent.

The crown prince has already gone to worship the heavens.

Yongsong is accompanied by the Huanglu bell.

Under the huge Danqi, the people suddenly went down, a stone carving group dragon embedded in the middle, the sky is wide and the steps are high, for the ministers to make the ministers look up, for the king to look down.

The long pipe whistled one after another.

It was like a dragon's groan.

It was like the call of heaven.

The node that accompanies this music.

Taking advantage of the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, the ministers and envoys have not yet lined up to enter.

The Emperor began to climb the dan mound.

This is high up, you can look down on the position of Kyushu Shengli, Danqi was swept by people, sprinkled with salt powder, and the emperor's footsteps went down, very slowly, very slowly.

His feet stopped floating.

His internal organs don't hurt anymore, the heavens seem to be guiding him, he must climb up, take a look, he must rest assured, and let the world rest assured.

"How is the Emperor?"

"Yes. All right. ”

The servants around him were pleasantly surprised.

However, no one knew that a mouthful of blood was taken away by him by hiding it near his mouth.

A leisurely voice was in the bottom of his heart: I must climb up, take a look, just a glance, just a while, the prince will have enough time to deal with it, and the country will not be chaotic. Life will always sleep, and if you keep going, I will be able to take another look.

Oh.

He thought leisurely in his heart: The king of Eastern Xia should be making the last northward migration in the Northern Plains at this moment, will he be in the Northern Plains? Is he willing? What's he doing?
