Chapter 228: It's better to set up a second prince

But this is just a small episode in Li Jinyu's journey. This time he was going to visit the emperor, so he met Fang Yao in a hurry on the way.

He silently kept Fang Yao in his heart and came to the outside of the emperor's bedroom.

The outside of the dormitory has always been heavily guarded, and when Li Jinyu came, it happened that the fifth prince had just come out of the emperor's dormitory.

Li Jinyu had a slight coldness in her eyes, but when she stepped forward, that coldness disappeared, leaving only a gentle smile on her face: "Old Five, are you also visiting your father?" ”

"yes." Li Yuliang lowered his eyes slightly, with a slight coldness, "My father is seriously ill now, and as my father's child, I always have to take care of it." ”

It's the same visit, but Li Yuliang took this matter as a task. In fact, the matter of visiting his father can be completely understood as affection, but he is undoubtedly misinterpreting it like this.

Li Jinyu sneered in her heart, but her face was also a little sad: "Yes, and with the fall of my father, there is no one to deal with the affairs of the court now." ”

The two stood outside the Emperor's chambers and began to exchange pleasantries. And Li Yuliang also echoed: "Indeed." ”

He thought thoughtfully, but it could be seen that he was indifferent to such things as government affairs, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of grabbing power.

Li Jinyu was even more disdainful of him in her heart.

However, on the face, he still lightly pointed out one thing: "Although I am now handling some government affairs for my father, I have only been in contact with it for a short time, so if I don't know, I hope that the fifth brother can help." ”

"Nature." Li Yu responded coldly and left.

However, at the moment when Li Yuliang left, Li Jinyu turned around, and the enthusiasm and smile on her face just now had completely disappeared, leaving only coldness and disdain.

"Hmph, it's just an unfavored prince." Li Jinyu raised her chin proudly, and her words and eyes were full of disdain for Li Yuliang: "Indeed, it's just a dou who can't be helped." ”

Now is the time of turmoil in the imperial court, and at this time, as long as they come to compete for power, especially these princes, it is easy to get the greatest power in the future.

This should be a great temptation for these princes, but in Li Yuliang's place, it is just an ordinary thing, and there is no intention to fight for it at all.

Li Jinyu felt bored when she was proud.

Originally, he thought that there would be many people who should fight for this throne, but now that he looked, there was no one who could pose any threat to him.

Thinking like this, Li Jinyu took a deep breath, held his head high, and proudly entered the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor heard the news of Li Jinxuan before and vomited blood, and now he has just woken up, who knows that what he sees is Li Jinyu who came from outside with a big smug smile.

He was coughing.

"Father." Li Jinyu called him, with a smile on his lips, and asked knowingly, "Why did my father cough when he saw Er Chen coming?" But did you upset your son? ”

"Nature."

The emperor calmed down for a moment, and then pointed his finger at Li Jinyu trembling: "You, you are really disappointing to me!" Look at what you've been doing lately! ”

The Emperor shouted accusations.

However, after the accusation, he couldn't help but cough several times. He was already seriously ill, and he was still angry, which made his already poor physical condition even worse.

Li Jinyu cared without emotion: "Father, you still have to pay attention to your body, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to see your son ascend the throne." ”

When Li Jinyu said this, the emperor was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and his eyes widened, and he looked at Li Jinyu like this.

Li Jinyu shrugged her shoulders slightly, with a smile on her face: "Then who else does my father want to let you sit in this position?" Rui Wang? ”

Told that he had hit a part of his mind, the emperor began to remain silent.

However, Li Jinyu had already guessed that it would be Li Shengshu, so he didn't get too angry, just tucked the corner of the quilt for the emperor, and then said slowly: "Father, you are always sick, I'm afraid you don't know, now there is a big thing happening between King Rui and Beichuan." ”

"It seems that the rice he sent was poisoned. The people over there in Beichuan now hate King Rui, and they all say that he deliberately wants to harm the people over there! ”

Li Jinyu casually talked about what happened in Beichuan in an extremely relaxed tone, but these things surprised the emperor in his heart, and the look on his face was almost not concealed.

Li Jinyu saw it in her eyes and felt proud.

With a smile on his lips, he seemed to be back to his previous meek and well-behaved appearance. He calmed his breath for the emperor and said slowly: "Father, whether you admit it or not, now, I am the most suitable candidate for the throne among the younger generation." ”

He is now proud.

The general trend is that no one else has the slightest competitiveness, and he is the only one left. However, it is very rare that when Li Jinyu said this, the emperor did not have any intention to refute.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then reminded in a low voice: "I won't say much about the others, but if you really want to be a good emperor, it's best to make some political achievements." ”

Almost all of today's ministers speak based on their political achievements.

As long as you are capable, there will naturally be a large number of people who obey you, follow you, and use you for your purposes. Li Jinyu understood the truth, but she was a little cold in her heart.

Now, he is the only one who can ascend to the throne, and he still needs such a thing as political achievements?

Thinking so, Li Jinyu was well disguised on the surface, and still showed a kind and humble appearance, "Father, don't worry, I know." ”

Seeing that Li Jinyu seemed to be better at speaking than before, the emperor was a little more relieved, so he took his hand and began to instruct.

"Jinyu, I know you're a good boy. You want the throne and have the ability, and it's not impossible for your father to hand over this position to you. The emperor paused, and then began to slowly instruct again: "But your temperament really has to be changed." Competitiveness will ultimately be detrimental to the people. ”

The emperor spoke earnestly, and after telling him that it was not enough, he continued to nag: "Moreover, you have to be kind to your two brothers. The boss is running out of time now, and the fifth is a coward, they all need your help. ”

After he said this, his eyes were really full of tears.

For the emperor, there is really no way for his grandfather. Although he is no longer willing to hand over the throne to the son in front of him, but now, it seems that this is the safest way.

For a while, the emperor let out a long sigh, and then leaned back on the head of the bed, the whole person was ten years old.

It's a strange feeling. When people reach old age, especially the emperor himself, I am afraid that he would not expect that when he is old, he will be so useless.

Li Jinyu rarely didn't have any temper, but let the emperor hold his hand and meekly responded: "Okay, father, don't worry, your son will definitely do what you say." ”

His eyes were shining, and it seemed that his eyes even revealed a little sincerity at this time: "Actually, my father, my son's previous thought was to be a good emperor, but my father, you haven't been able to look down on your son's ......."

Li Jinyu lowered her head and deliberately sold miserably.

When the emperor saw him like this, his heart softened a little, and he slapped his hand heavily: "In the past, it was my father who was wrong, but from now on, I really have to hand it over to you." ”

Li Jinyu responded: "Okay." ”

It's just that in his slightly lowered face, there was a slight killing intent and coldness in his beautiful peach blossom eyes, and even a little disdain.

If it weren't for the throne, he would never have stayed at the emperor's bedside, and he would never verbally agree to those unreasonable demands.

Do you want him to take care of the two of them? Dream on! The two of them will eventually become the stepping stone for him Li Jinyu to ascend to the throne!

Li Jinyu's eyes flashed with pride, but he didn't show it on his face. Li Jinyu and the emperor rarely had such a kind time, but the two got along with each other for a while, and then they didn't say anything.

Li Jinyu had no intention of leaving, and still stayed by the emperor's bedside. At this moment, the voice of the eunuch's spy suddenly came from outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”

A voice fell, and in an instant the emperor wanted to get up. It's just that the Queen Mother just came in, and when she saw him like this, she said lightly: "The emperor is inconvenient, so there is no need to salute." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

The Emperor said softly, but he couldn't help coughing twice as he spoke, and gently covered his lips with a handkerchief.

The handkerchief was released, but it was already dyed red, which was shocking. This is the blood that the emperor spat out.

It seems that the emperor's poison has penetrated deep into his heart.

The Queen Mother watched from the sidelines, knowing in her heart, she unconsciously went over and exchanged a look with Li Jinyu, and both of them understood each other's meaning.

The Queen Mother pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "The emperor's body is really getting worse day by day, can it still be cured?" ”

"My son doesn't know about this." The emperor said vaguely. In fact, when the queen came here today, the emperor had already guessed what she was going to say, but he kept changing the topic and didn't want to hear it.

Sure enough, the queen mother looked at his pale face and said quietly: "Emperor, it's not that the mourning family is persecuting you, it's just that you are in the current situation, have you thought of a way back?" ”

"No matter who you are going to appoint as the crown prince, but the mourning family thinks that it is better to be Jinyu."

The Queen Mother paused, and immediately showed her support. This is undoubtedly putting pressure on the emperor, telling him that he supports the second prince, and it depends on how he chooses in the future.

The emperor smiled bitterly twice, and his expression was a little bitter: "The queen mother really prefers the second child, and it is better to treat him than me." ”

There was already some irony in his words.

Their mother and son are not related, so they would say such things. And when the Queen Mother was said by him, she was rarely silent for a while, and then added: "Because no matter who you appoint as the prince, this Ruiyu Dynasty should be the Li family and the Song family." Therefore, it is best to make the son of the Song family the crown prince. ”

When the Queen Mother said this, her face was a little mean and stern. Obviously, this is not a consultation, but an order in it.

In fact, the emperor has long known that the queen mother has ambitions for this power. Now while he is sick, all of them come to intervene and make demands.

He deliberately made the appearance that he was still thinking.

And Li Jinyu stood next to him, not saying a word, but he knew that the Queen Mother would definitely be on his side. So he's not in a hurry.

Now in Li Jinyu's opinion, this throne is already in his pocket. Getting it is as simple as digging into your bag.

"Have you thought about it? Emperor? The Queen Mother pressed almost step by step, and asked again when the emperor was still thinking.
