In the first year of Jianning, the Han Dynasty and three emperors were established, in addition to Liu Xie, the son of heaven in Yedu, Yuan Shu of Huainan and Liu Yan of Yizhou, which attracted the attention of people all over the world. Since the end of the Huainan War and the capture of Yuan Shu, Liu Yan, who had been subconsciously ignored by the princes of all walks of life, suddenly stood out.

At this time, Liu Yan will also come to the end of his life. Before becoming emperor, Liu Yan was sick and sick, and he supported his sick body to maintain the operation of his "Han Empire", appease people's hearts, strike at the people with lofty ideals, and eliminate the influence of the "previous dynasty".

At the age of one year, without any external worries, his empire survived after all. After all, Liu Yan has been in Shu for many years, and his control over the top and bottom is strong enough.

Chengdu in winter is not particularly cold, but the world is gloomy, and the atmosphere inside and outside the city is very tense at this time. The city was much more tightly guarded, and there were many more soldiers patrolling the city. Under the order of the king, the generals Gao Pei and Yang Huai led the elite soldiers into the city and suppressed the whole city.

Since the beginning of autumn, the weather has become cooler, and Liu Yan's body has deteriorated day by day. Up to now, there have been no governors in the court for a long time, and all political affairs, big and small, have been handed over to Zhao Wei and Pang Xi and other courtiers. From rumors in the palace, Liu Yan passed out several times.

The courtiers of Yizhou are also panicked, the new dynasty is established, less than a year old, but this emperor is no longer good, which is really bottomless. If Liu Yan dies, it is really worrying where the future of this empire will go, and what will be the fate of their courtiers.

Of course, when many people were worried about Liu Yan's life and death, there were also many people looking forward to the emperor's death, in addition to Si Han's loyalty, there were also ministers of the new dynasty such as Zhao Wei.

In the past few days, Liu Yan strictly ordered the ministers in the city not to leave the palace at will and be confined to their homes, but if there was any change, they were all imprisoned. Zhao Wei is the same, even if he has a different mind in his heart and is in charge of the center, he does not dare to disobey Liu Yan's order at this time. At this time, Liu Yan needs to be more careful, otherwise he will be angry, as long as he can still speak, the end will not be good.

In the middle of the night, in Zhao Wei's house, it was supposed to be bedtime, but Zhao Wei did not feel the slightest sleepiness and sat on the main hall. The expression is solemn and contemplative. This state of affairs has lasted for a long time, starting with the change in the situation in the city.

Although he was confined to the palace, as an important minister with a lot of influence and great power in Liu Yan's new court, this news is very well-informed. From the news in the palace, Liu Yan is afraid that he will really not survive this time, and his death is imminent. From Liu Yan's actions in recent days, Zhao Wei concluded that this news is true.

With Liu Yan becoming emperor, Zhao Wei's water rose and rose, and he was reused, and because of Liu Yan's body, this ambition continued to breed and quietly exert influence in the army. He is now thinking about how to deal with the situation in the imperial court after Liu Yan's death.

The Yizhou court is all related to Liu Yan, and the sons have no influence, and their death, no matter who is the successor, is inseparable from the help of old ministers like him to rule the country. For Zhao Wei, that is a good opportunity for him to be a very good minister.

At this time, Liu Yan was still thinking about setting the storage position. Zhao Wei's favorite person is Liu Zhang, who is cowardly and easy to control with his character. But who the final flower will fall on depends on Liu Yan.

"It's been a few days!" Zhao Wei muttered in his mouth, with expectation and nervousness in his eyes.

Thoughts are complicated, go out, blow the cold wind, and clear your mind. Looking in the direction of the palace, Zhao Wei had a complicated look on his face and sighed heavily.

"Master, the envoy from the palace, His Majesty has summoned you to enter the palace immediately!" The steward hurried over and said to Zhao Wei.

"Prepare the car, enter the palace!" Zhao Wei was shocked when he heard this, and immediately commanded.

In the imperial palace, in Liu Yan's bedroom, Liu Yan's face was gray, his eyes were dark, and he was lying on the couch, obviously running out of oil and lamps. Empress Fei, sitting at her side, wept lowly. The three brothers Liu Fan, Liu Dan, and Liu Zhang knelt below, their expressions were calm, followed by the rest of the kings and grandsons. There were also more than a dozen courtiers in the palace, headed by Zhao Wei, Pang Xi, and Wu Yi. One by one, they bent their bodies slightly, their expressions were serious, and they all knew that Liu Yan was going to arrange the future, and who the most important heir was going to be decided.

With the support of Queen Fei, Liu Yan got up with difficulty and leaned on the pillow. The face was sickly, and the old eyes swept over the ministers in the palace, which still made people dare not look sideways. Stretching out his trembling hand, under the indication, the eunuch who was waiting on the side immediately took out the prepared edict and read it.

"Fu Weide moves the sky, and Yuheng is so prefaced; The poor god is intellectualized, and billions of trillions are returned to the heart.

......

Liu Fan, the eldest son of the emperor, should enter the inheritance of the sect and succeed the unification. With my ascension to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne! ”

The edict was not very long, and the three brothers Liu Fan and the ministers listened carefully, and when they heard the edict, the muscles on Liu Fan's face trembled a few times, obviously very excited. But at this time, it was not good to behave too much, and it was suppressed all the time, but the joy in the depths of his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

He is the eldest son, and this heir should have been his, but Liu Yan had not expressed it before, and the ministers had many support for the rest of the brothers, which made him suffer for a long time. Now, it has finally been decided, and the edict is passed in front of these ministers, and the throne is still his.

Squinted, squeezed out a few tears, lay on the ground, and whispered quite sadly: "Father! ”

The two brothers, Liu Dan and Liu Zhang, obviously showed disappointment and some unwillingness, but when they saw Liu Fan's show, their eyes showed some disdain.

"Zhuqing, Liu Fan will be handed over to you. Wang'er is deeply entrusted with the importance of assistance, and continues to be social. Looking at Zhao Wei and the others, Liu Yan's voice was a little hoarse and trembling.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will do their best to repay Your Majesty's grace!" Zhao Wei immediately spoke. The rest of the people did the same.

He glanced at Zhao Wei deeply and ordered everyone to retreat, leaving Liu Fan alone.

The hall was quiet for a long time, and Liu Fan, who knelt down, was in a surging mood, which was a lot more patient, waiting for Liu Yan's orders.

"The weight of the country is entrusted to you!" Liu Yan finally spoke up. Tilted his head to look at Liu Fan, and sighed slightly in his heart, once he died, could he hold the country?

"You have to keep my next words in mind!"

"Please ask my father to command!" Liu Fan came back to his senses and said more and more respectfully.

"Yizhou is the country of abundance, with millions of households, the people are rich and the country is rich, and the ambitious people in the world, such as Liu Yuan in the north, will covet it, you have to guard against it. I dare to call the emperor in Shuzhong, the advantage of Donaidili, not afraid of foreign enemies. However, after the death, the lack of talent and virtue was difficult to suppress the country, such as Zhao Wei, Pang Xi, Wu Yi and other ministers, who should rely on him as a help. Remember, as long as Shuzhong is at peace, there is no fear of others using soldiers! ”

"Also, Zhao Wei is a talented person, but I am a little worried, you need to be careful, you can use Pang Xi and Wu Yi to contain him. Yizhou folk can be used, you need to dig a lot. Generals Gao Pei, Yang Huai, and Deng Xian are all my confidants and beloved generals and can be trusted. ”

"Jiangzhou Yan Yan is a veteran in Shuzhong, use it to guard the door, you should be safe, you should be more gracious. There are poor people in Yizhou, such as Zhang Ren and Gan Ning, who are rich and strategic, and if he has something to do in the state, he can be let be the commander. ”

"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, let him cut Hanzhong, it is my fault. You should be ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Yan's voice stopped abruptly. Liu Fan listened carefully and silently remembered it in his heart, this decision, he was a little stunned at first, and then he raised his head suddenly, Liu Yan had already closed his eyes.

At the end of the winter of the first year of Jianning, Liu Yan died of illness, and it was passed on to Liu Fan, the eldest son of the emperor.
