Chapter 567: Marriage
"Hmph, I can't teach you a lesson."
The Emperor snorted softly and turned his face away.
Hua Wu was not angry, and still said; "But Your Majesty's life is now dependent on me to save it, so I'll just say a few words from the bottom of my heart, but you still don't like to hear it, no wonder..."
"What's the wonder?"
Seeing that she was no longer talking, the emperor took the initiative to ask.
"No wonder Your Majesty was poisoned by his own son." A sentence of flower mist fluttering out.
If she dared to speak out in front of the emperor like this, the emperor would have cut off her head a long time ago.
Today, however, it is an outlier.
After King Ning asked Concubine Rong to poison the emperor, he didn't want the emperor to die, nor did he want him to live.
The family members of the Tai Doctor in the Tai Hospital have been controlled by King Ning, and they are said to have no power, even if they have that ability, they don't dare to rescue the old emperor.
But Huawu dared to hide from the sky and the sea.
She fed the emperor a medicine.
After taking this medicine, it looks like a gossamer, but in fact, the body is recovering day by day, but it can't be seen at all from the pulse alone.
And King Ning also relaxed his vigilance because of this.
"Okay, today's needle has been applied, Your Majesty will rest early, and the flower mist will retire."
Hua Wu put away the medicine box and was about to quit, but was stopped by the emperor, "Wait a minute, girl." ”
"What else does Your Majesty command?"
"Come here, I have something to ask you." The Emperor beckoned at her.
"Girl, you said that among the many princes and grandsons of me, who is more suitable to be the prince?"
Hua Wu didn't expect the old emperor to ask herself such a question, she lowered her head and replied; "Your Majesty, you should discuss this with the cabinet ministers."
"If I can see any cabinet minister now, I still need to ask you?"
The emperor blew his beard and glared angrily. Flower mist thinks about it too.
So he smiled wryly; "That's right, then I'll just say it."
"Well, let's talk about it!" The Emperor lowered his eyes a little tiredly.
"First of all, judging from the current situation of the Chu State, the national strength is not strong at all in the land of Kyushu, and it is surrounded by strong enemies such as Beiliang and Chen.
Then, if His Majesty wants the country to last forever, he must choose a prince who thinks he has the ability to be the master of Zhongxing.
I think the prince was a good candidate, but it's a pity that you were killed. ”
Hua Wu said and glanced at her lips, very disdainful of the old emperor's behavior of even killing his own son.
"Tiger poison doesn't eat children..."
The old emperor was so angry with her, "Are you uncomfortable if you are not angry?" ”
"Oh, that's not it, I'm just analyzing who is not suitable to be the prince from among His Majesty's sons,
The most suitable and the most justifiable is for you to be forced to death, originally Yan Wang's ability was not bad, but he also died.
The current King Ning is also a young talent. But he is too narrow-minded, if this is a peaceful and prosperous world, and the Chu State is invincible outside, he will be the king.
But in such troubled times, King Ning is a little like Your Majesty.
That is, the emphasis on civil servants and light military generals, if he becomes the prince, the next generation of Chu will die. ”
Listening to Hua Mist's words, the emperor sighed heavily; "What about King Gui?"
Hearing this, Huawu smiled and covered her lips. "Your Majesty, do you think King Gui can be of great use?"
The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he had to admit that none of the extremely princes mentioned by Fang Cai Wu could afford to shoulder the mess of the Chu State.
"That's... What about Yuwang Rongchen? ”
The emperor finally asked the name he was least willing to consider.
Hua Wu's eyes deepened a little, "His Royal Highness King Yu is a young talent, both civil and military, but unfortunately his temperament is too rebellious."
If he becomes the emperor, he will either become the master of Zhongxing, or the state of Chu will simply fall in his hands. “
When the emperor heard this, he waved his hand and signaled for the flower mist to retreat,
I lay in bed and meditated all night...
Beiliang on the border has already withdrawn from the army, but Rong Chen and the Li family still have their own troops, holding nearly eighty percent of the main force of Chu in their hands.
They knew that if the military power was returned, then whether it was Rongchen or the Li family, they would definitely die without a place to be buried.
Therefore, this military power must be firmly held in his own hands, so that King Ning will panic.
Although he won the support of the courtiers, he did not have military power in his hands. So under the penetration of the staff, they came and went, and simply forced the palace directly.
The emperor was reluctant to write an edict of succession, so he found someone who could imitate the emperor's handwriting to forge the edict.
In May, the old emperor died of illness, and King Rongsheng of Ning ascended the throne as emperor and changed the name of the country to Kaiyuan.
At the same time, he made an order to denounce Rong Chen as a rebellious minister and thief, and the Li family helped him to abuse, but although Rong Sheng jumped up and scolded him in the imperial capital.
Over there, Rong Chen was not in a hurry or slow, Rong Sheng was justified in order to change his name to the throne, and he also followed the will of the previous emperor.
Whoever marries the princess of Lanling will be the new emperor, so he began to plan a big wedding with Huawu, which will be held in mid-June, that is, ten days later.
During this period, Mu Linxi came to see Huawu, and thought that she would be in a hurry, but she didn't expect that she was not only a little anxious and worried, but also should eat and drink, and the small life was very nourishing.
"You are calm, do you really want to marry Rong Sheng and be his queen?" Mu Linxi asked with a smile.
Hua Wu's expression was calm, "What am I anxious about, naturally someone is more anxious than me, besides, the old emperor has so many sons and grandsons, what does it have to do with me who ascends the throne."
As long as they don't kill me, it doesn't matter to me who becomes the emperor. Anyway, Rong Sheng also promised me that he would not kill me.
But what makes me unhappy is that he wants me to stay in the palace and be his queen. Hmph, how is this possible? ”
Hua Wu said with a look of disdain on her face.
Mu Linxi sat down in front of her with a smile and poured herself a glass of peach blossom wine, "This was brewed last year, right?" ”
Hua Wu nodded, "It's still the peach blossoms from Peach Blossom Village." ”
This casual sentence made Mu Linxi puzzled. He had never seen her carry such an extremely inconvenient thing as a wine jar on her body.
"I dried the peach blossoms and brewed them."
Knowing that he was suspicious, Huawu prevaricated.
Mu Linxi nodded, "I see." ”
After a pause, he said earnestly; "If Rong Chen can't win against Rong Sheng this time, are you willing to go with me?"
"Okay."
Hua Wu lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was answering something that was no longer ordinary.
But Mu Linxi thought she was joking.
"I mean seriously." Again, he emphasized.
"I'm also serious, I'm tired of this kind of strife, and now I just choose to help Rong Chen because he is more suitable to be this emperor than Rong Sheng.
When he became the emperor, the people of Chu State could live a good life for a few days, and when I left, I didn't know how to live in the turbulent times. ”
