Chapter 386: The Successor

On this day, the emperor finally couldn't stand it.

While Liu Kang and Zuo Xiang were talking as usual, the emperor suddenly stood up.

Liu Kang and Zuo Xiang were stunned and stopped talking, looking at him suspiciously.

The emperor pointed to the dragon chair, "I originally thought that I was blessed by the first emperor and obtained this throne. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been thinking about taking care of the people like this for a moment, but now God may be dissatisfied with me, and this position may really be changed. ”

Liu Kang closed his mouth at this time, knowing that the emperor's defense line had collapsed.

Today's relief is just an extra boost to future plans.

"The emperor thinks twice." When the ministers heard this, they all knelt down and trembled.

The emperor waved his sleeves and told them all to get up, "I know my body, but there is nothing to come out of the harem, and I have no heirs now, I don't know what to do?" ”

Some of the old ministers didn't dare to speak, but just looked at each other.

Especially Wen Guogong is more anxious than anyone else, if the emperor's physical condition is really bad, he has not taken care of the emperor.

It was in vain that the first emperor entrusted him with his own trust, and after he died, he went underground, and when he saw the first emperor, he didn't know how to speak.

Zuo Xiang said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the emperor's dragon body will definitely return to the peak." ”

Zuo Xiang's words clearly also wanted people to notice him, and the emperor snorted coldly, wondering if he thought he was a fool.

"Zuo Xiang has assisted the first emperor for many years, and he has worked hard for me over the years, I want to ask Zuo Xiang, is there a suitable candidate?" The emperor asked.

The ministers looked at the left minister again, wondering if he would really name someone.

Speaking at this moment, the emperor is afraid that if the court is dispersed, he will issue an order to be killed.

Even if the emperor has little time, it is impossible to tolerate his courtiers having their own king.

But in fact, these are all redundant for Zuo Xiang, he has been at ease for so many years, and naturally he also has his own outstanding skills.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this throne must be a royal person no matter what, otherwise how can it be worthy of the previous emperor's many years of government affairs, but the emperor has no heirs, so he can only look at the heirs of the first emperor...... And this person must be pure-minded, and must not have bad habits, so that he can assume the position of king and set an example. Zuo Xiang said slowly, as if it was because the emperor had to listen to him.

The emperor's face was instantly embarrassed.

This first emperor only had three sons, and when he died, there were only Wen Yun, Song and Wen Yunkang.

And Wen Yun, although he didn't pursue the opposite, there were many rumors in the world, and he could no longer be a king.

Otherwise, it will be criticized.

In this way, only Wen Yunkang remained.

The emperor remembered what Fu Liye said to himself, he didn't believe it at that time, and he really couldn't believe it in his heart.

He was so good to him after he succeeded to the throne, so when Fu Tingan said that Wen Yunkang was involved in Wen Yun's and Song's affairs, he didn't dig deep if he couldn't find evidence.

So after disposing of Wen Yun and Song, he cherished Wen Yunkang even more, because this was the only relative.

He always hoped that this was not the case.

"Your Majesty, please choose from among the royal people who will succeed you."

Seeing that the words of the left minister were not opposed by the emperor, many people echoed them.

Seeing that his former courtiers turned against him all of a sudden, the emperor was extremely cold.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

These activities in the emperor's heart were seen by everyone, and it took a long time before he ordered to retreat from the court.

"Let's go back first, I'll think about it."

The emperor left slowly and returned to the imperial study, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Before he could calm down, he heard that the queen was coming to see him, and before he could report it, people rushed in.

"Your Majesty!" Probably in a hurry, the queen didn't see the threshold and tripped to the ground.

But she didn't cry out in pain, she came directly to the emperor and lay down next to his chair.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about in the court today? What's wrong with you, why have you been seeing the Imperial Doctor in and out of the Heart Cultivation Hall so often these days? Although the queen and him did not have a deep affection, she always regarded him as her sweetheart.

When she heard the news today, she was afraid of losing him, so she rushed in so without manners

"Queen?" The emperor was surprised that the queen was so anxious, and naturally he was a little happy because someone thought of him.

But he hesitated and didn't choose to tell her the truth, who in this palace could believe it, he didn't know in his heart.

"What kind of system is panicked, how can there be the demeanor of the mother's world?" The emperor changed his attitude and reprimanded coldly.

But the queen couldn't care so much at the moment, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, "Your Majesty, if you really have something, what should the concubines do?" ”

"There will be people who will hold you and will not let you suffer." The emperor thought that she cared about her future, so he said coldly.

The queen shook her head, "I beg the emperor to decree that if you leave, let the concubines accompany you to the funeral, and the concubines should not live alone in this deserted high wall, and let the concubines take care of you with you." ”

The emperor was surprised, this woman actually wanted to propose to be buried for herself?

"Your Majesty, you tell your concubines that you'll be fine, right?" The queen took his arm and asked, she thought she could wait until he didn't have Su Qingyun in his heart, but now he was making people.

The emperor didn't answer, picked up the pen and asked the eunuch to bring the holy decree, "My time is short, I'm afraid it's just a few days, if you regret it now, it's too late, after I die, someone will take care of you, if you want to, you can also leave the palace, just incognito." ”

The queen's heart is like ashes, she has been the queen for all these years, and the last time she got close to him was after her death.

"If you are willing to give grace, please also agree to bury the concubine with you, and the concubine will take care of the emperor on Huangquan Road." The queen looked at the person in front of her and burst into tears.

The emperor naturally felt sorry for her, but he also had to do a full set of scenes, because there were many eyes and ears in the palace.

He wrote the decree, but he hesitated, if he really failed, the woman next to him would have to bury his life.

Thinking of this, he took the hand of the jade seal and took it back.

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly went up, grabbed his hand and pressed it hard, and only barely smiled when she saw that there was a seal on the holy decree.

That's the only thing she can do.

"Your Majesty, wherever you go, the concubines will accompany you." It's not that the queen hasn't heard rumors these days, but she has been stopped and can't see him.

Her decision was not temporary, she didn't care about the position of the middle palace in the first place.

What the queen has always wanted is the emperor.

In the next few days, the emperor did not go to court, and the queen always thought that the emperor's time was short, and she stayed by his side day and night to take care of him.

I don't know who leaked out of this news, and when it was heard by the court, it was already rumored that the emperor had begun to hold a funeral affair and appointed the queen to accompany the funeral.

Zuo Xiang learned the news and repeatedly made people sure.

The emperor hasn't gotten up for a few days, and the imperial doctor takes care of and guards him every day, and he has no complexion.

"It seems that the emperor is about to die." Zuo Xiang and Fu Liye talked about this, and there was a kind of relief in their eyes.

The fifteenth soon arrived, and Zuo Xiang and Fu Liye led the troops according to the plan.

Zuo Xiang also asked Wen Yunkang to inform him and ask him to settle in the East Palace later.

Zuo Xiang is still reluctant to reveal the person behind him to Fu Liye at this moment, also in case there is a mistake for a while, there will be a turnaround.

"Prime Minister Zuo, after a while, where is our new emperor?" Although Fu Liye has been determined, he still needs to give himself a real answer.

This is the most powerful evidence for the arrest of Wen Yunkang in the future.

With some of the soldiers originally scheduled, Zuo Xiang and Fu Liye rushed into the palace.

However, at the south gate, the group was stopped by the Praetorian Guards in the palace.

"Master Fu, what's going on?" Zuo Xiang looked at Fu Liye angrily, isn't this the soldier he is in charge of, why did he stop them?

Before Fu Liye could answer, he saw Wen Guogong coming over.

"Fu Liye! You traitor! What is it like to bring such a group of people now? "When Duke Wen got the news from the emperor that someone was forcing the palace and ran in a panic, the Praetorian Guards were ready.

But he never expected that it would be Fu Liye.

"Dad, get out of the way! Today is a good time to change the dynasty! Fu Liye urged, looking anxiously inside.

"You're confused!" Wen Guogong was very angry, the good son he raised was going to be a traitor?

"You have been a brother and sister to the emperor for many years, how can you betray him?" Wen Guogong still couldn't believe it and questioned him, Fu Liye was not such a person before.

"The emperor is confused and stubborn, we are the courtiers of the country, not his own courtiers!" Fu Liye was full of words.

Zuo Xiang couldn't help but be happy for Fu Liye's words, and he also spoke bitterly to Wen Guogong, "Wen Guogong should get out of the way quickly, young people always have their own ideas, and they can't be wrong." What's more, the emperor's dragon body is not good now, but it is just an advance of the new emperor's succession time. ”

"What new emperor? Who? Wen Guogong thought it was funny, when did the emperor say that he would pass the throne to someone, how could there be a new emperor.

Fu Liye also looked at the left minister, he didn't know who the new emperor he was talking about.

Zuo Xiang got everyone's attention, and naturally he was proud, he straightened his clothes and pulled Fu Liye aside.

"Master Fu, do you remember that I once said that it must be justified? The person recommended by me and the emperor in the court that day, I guess Master Fu can guess who it is, right? Zuo Xiang's tone was cheerful, as if he had expected the appearance of the man when he ascended the throne.

"What do you mean? Rajah? Fu Liye looked surprised.

"Exactly, Prince Wen Yunkang is our new master in the future, you see." When Zuo Xiang said this, he took out Wen Yunkang's prince mark.

With this, when the palace is forced for a while, the emperor only needs to cover the jade seal, and Wen Yunkang will be the new emperor.

Wen Yunkang here got the news, so he hurriedly led some of his soldiers to the direction of the palace.

And then there were some that he was waiting to answer.

Because of the deterioration of the emperor's situation in the past few days, Wen Yunkang has been waiting for this moment of victory for a long time.

But when the moment came, he was pleasantly surprised.

Could it have been so soon, he couldn't believe it.

The group rushed in the direction of the palace, and Wen Yunkang rushed to his throne without stopping.

"Stop!"

But good things don't last long, Wen Yunkang was stopped by a group of royal guards and asked for a routine inspection.
