It was raining outside, and the inside of the house was gloomy.

The concubine knelt in front of the bed of the King of Zhongshan and cried very sadly, but there are some truths and some falsehoods in this sadness, which is difficult for people to figure out. After all, he has been in the position of the crown prince for too long, and King Zhongshan has held the throne for too long. The position of the king is destined to be the enemy of everyone, whether it is the ministers or the relatives around him.

Sima Xi knelt in front of the ministers and after the concubines. His expression didn't show joy or sorrow, and he didn't even look at the eyes, but he just looked at the floor in front of him and didn't know what to think again. Many people say that he himself is ominous, and after becoming a prime minister, Zhongshan was defeated one after another, and if his father was in the court, it would definitely not be like this. Hearing such words, Sima Xi always smiled coldly and was too lazy to object. Even without him Sima Xi, Zhongshan will not last long. It is ridiculous that the world always blames individuals for these factors.

And the ministers after Sima Xi had rich expressions. Some have solemn expressions and are silent, some are crying with sad faces, but their eyes are looking at others, and some are crying to themselves, crying very sadly, as if they are about to leave, as if they are about to leave.

The Queen of Yin was the only one sitting on the couch, and she tucked the corners of the quilt for the King of Zhongshan, and looked at the old man again. Until now, he is still his own man, but it will not be long before he will leave this world. If the queen loves him, he will definitely die, but death is too terrible for a young woman, not to mention, she has no heirs until now, and she is not a complete woman.

Of all the people in the main hall, it may be that only the King of Zhongshan himself can't express his opinion. He can't see anyone clearly now, and he can't hear their hearts at the moment, no matter how great a person is, he can't avoid birth, old age, sickness and death. He tried to raise his hand, but found that he couldn't move, he wanted to say two words, but found that he couldn't.

Finally, Sima Xi, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and walked to the side of the queen and the concubine, Sima Xi glanced at the queen of yin, with a slight meaning, this beautiful woman replied to him casually, and returned to her original appearance. "Queen, Prince. Now that the king is dying and in danger, the medical officer also feels that the king is afraid of his life today. According to the system, the king must designate the successor to the throne during his lifetime, and now at this time, I am afraid that he must prepare first, otherwise, the name is not right, the words are not good, and the officials are not convinced. ”

It's not that Sima Xi is sowing discord here, nor is he trying to cause trouble. Rather, before the king dies, he must appoint a successor to the throne, although everyone knows that unless a king has a problem with his brain, he will appoint another heir, otherwise the crown prince must be the next monarch. It's just that this is a process that must be revealed to all officials to show its legitimacy and continuity. This is why, the reason why everyone is here, of course, it is not excluded that some kings change their minds before they die, it will really be a disaster for the country and the people.

"Xiangbang is reasonable, and Xiangbang is asked to preside over this matter." Yin Hou said.

"Whoa."

Next, Sima Xi faced the ministers and announced that the crown prince and concubine were the heirs to the throne, and the ministers should abide by their duties and prevent rebellion while doing a good job in the succession to the throne of the new king. In addition to the queen of the yin, the rest of the harem concubines were buried in the royal tomb. The funeral of King Zhongshan will be arranged by Sima Xi himself.

At the same time, because Zhao Guo is eyeing the tiger and may invade Zhongshan at any time, the generals of the garrisons will no longer be recalled to participate in the funeral, and guard the city to prevent the Zhao army from attacking. Give Wuqiu Lingshou Tiger Talisman and Scepter, mobilize Lingshou soldiers and horses throughout the city, do a good job in defense and maintenance of city order, and those who dare to conspire and rebel will be killed on the spot, no need to ask for life! ”

This murderous order made everyone feel a chill behind their backs. This is actually just a routine thing, at such a time, and in time for the Zhao State to attack Zhongshan on a large scale, the military power naturally cannot be handed over to any royal family, the purpose is to prevent rebellion. Sima Xi, as a Xiangbang, couldn't do this, and handed over the smart machine to Wuqiu.

However, this decision caused some people to whisper. Who is Wuqiu? It was a general selected by Sima Xi's father from a pile of slaves, and it can be said that Sima Xun wanted to hack him to death in front of everyone, and he would not resist. Even later, Wuqiu became one of the best generals in Zhongshan, and in front of Sima Xun, he was also a slave and never dared to speak loudly. Sima Xi handed over this position to him, isn't it the same as holding it in his own hands?

I'm afraid that only the King of Zhongshan, the concubine and Sima Xi understand that Wuqiu is really like a father to Sima Xun, as a general, after Sima Xun died, he kept filial piety for him for three years. But for Sima Xi, he didn't have that brotherly feeling, at best, it was just for Sima Xun's face to give some face. This is also the reason why the concubine did not object to this appointment.

After Sima Xi finished announcing, he turned to the concubine and said, "Please give the prince a lecture." "From this moment on, unless the King of Zhongshan wakes up again, the supreme ruler of Zhongshan Kingdom will be this crown prince. The concubine glanced at the king of Zhongshan who was lying there, and then at the queen of yin, and just wanted to speak, but after hearing the queen, she came first: "Prince, Xiangbang, the concubine has a request, I don't know if it can be ......"

The concubine looked sad when she saw the yin, and her charming figure was even more tempting, thinking that she would be able to possess this stunner soon, and for a while she was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but respond: "The queen, please speak." ”

The queen of the yin was a little disgusted with this person, but she still endured the nausea, and cried and said: "Little boy woman, you shouldn't be involved in political affairs. But I have been in love with the king for a long time, and I haven't been alone for many days, I hope that the prince and Xiangbang will leave for a while, and the child has some whispers, I don't know if I can be alone with the king for a while? ”

This request is not too much, and the ministers can understand it, but they didn't expect that this new widow really cares about this old man so much, is he still ready to be martyred. Alas, it's a pity. What a beautiful man.

This question naturally could not be answered by Sima Xi, he glanced at the concubine, who was still looking at the queen of yin, I am afraid that it was not the ministers here, who would have stopped this wonderful person in his arms and ravaged it. "The Queen's request is excusable. In that case, I waited outside the main hall. As he spoke, he looked at the queen reluctantly, and then walked out. In the entire hall, only the queen of the yin and the king of Zhongshan lying on the couch remained.

"King, the little boy is here, and I can be alone with you again." The queen of yin said, soaked in the raw silk from the basin next to her, and wiped her face for the king of Zhongshan, "It's just that after today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get along like this anymore." ”

The king of Zhongshan was stirred by this cold water, and he actually had some energy, and slowly opened his eyes, he began to be actually quite awake, and he listened to what the queen said just now. Only now, he can only move his arms, wanting to hold this woman's hand. The Queen of Yin was startled when she saw him wake up, but she soon calmed down and knew that this was the so-called return to light. He also held his hand and continued: "There are some things that Xiao Tong has wanted to tell the king for a long time, but he has not said them for a long time, and now that he has said it, I am afraid that you will not be angry." ”

The cloudy eyes of the King of Zhongshan were obviously stagnant, and he didn't know what the queen of yin meant.

During this period of time, Zhongshan not only gave half of the country to Zhao State, but even the Zuoren and other cities in the north were also given to Zhao State. It's just that you haven't gotten better, and you haven't been told. ”

When the King of Zhongshan heard this, his qi and blood obviously surged a little. Cutting the land and seeking peace, it's not that he hasn't done these things, but now that even half of the country has been sent out, how can he not be excited?

"Xiao Tong knows that you have always been very good to Xiao Tong, and I can't bear to let Xiao Tong accompany you. Don't worry, though, the little ones will take care of themselves. What's more, didn't you notice just now, the prince and concubine, I can't wait to eat the child immediately? Speaking of this, although the queen of yin held the hand of the king of Zhongshan, between the words, it was unspeakably coquettish.

"However, the boy doesn't like to be the queen of a dead country." As she spoke, she approached the ear of King Zhongshan and whispered: "Xiangbang has promised Xiao Tong that on the day of the country's break, he will introduce Xiao Tong to King Zhao, do you think Xiao Tong's appearance is still passable?" ”

It's still that familiar voice, familiar coquettishness, but these things that originally fascinated King Zhongshan very much, why are they pierced his heart like a knife at this moment? When did this woman become so femme fatale?

"But you won't see that." Yin Hou said, sat up again, and wiped his hands for him again, "Also, your favorite Hepu, I'm afraid I can't take it with you." Don't blame the boy for being ruthless, that kind of thing, it's better to leave it to the living, since you are dead, don't take such a good thing away. ”

King Zhongshan seemed to see the face of the queen of yin for the first time, and for the first time, he felt that this woman's heart was so vicious. If he still has the strength, he really wants to strangle this woman. But now, he can't do anything.

She placed the silk in the basin again, but did not wring it out. "So, you can go with peace of mind, and the concubine will arrange the rest for you." Saying that, she silently covered his face, and when he realized what was happening, the queen of yin tightly covered his mouth and nose, so that he couldn't breathe, and just wanted to struggle, but obviously, he couldn't do this now, plus just now, the words that the queen of yin said, made him already angry, this toss, the king of Zhongshan, who was already only angry, completely lost his breath, struggled for a while, and a generation of heroes The king of Zhongshan left.

"Only in this way can King Zhao like the concubine even more, right, king." She smiled sweetly, smiling so seductively.

When everyone outside the door heard the cry of the queen and broke in, what they saw was already a cold body. Everyone began to cry, and no one doubted the ghost of the queen of the shadows, after all, how could a woman who could take care of him before she died, kill with her own hands? Besides, she doesn't have the tools either. Everyone knows that this is Zhongshan Wang Yangshou's end.

Only Sima Xi.

Sima Xi glanced at the Yin Queen, who was crying more painfully than anyone else, and his heart was full of embankments for her. Although he personally instructed the queen of the yin to do this, but when this woman did this kind of thing, he felt scared again. Fortunately, their interests are now aligned.

This woman is terrible.

Three more, I tried my best....
