Chapter 18: Seize the Throne, the First General Returns!

Seeing his expression, Shen Qinghan laughed proudly and hit him unceremoniously: "That's right! Moreover, these two servants are proficient in everything, and they can also serve as drivers, bodyguards, and servants, and they can do housework and cooking by themselves, which is much better than your ancestors, who are good for nothing but eating! ”

As soon as Shen Qinghan finished speaking, a white-haired old man with a cane and a torn cotton jacket stumbled out of the villa, and his voice was extremely excited:

"Someone, someone! I'm here, old man! Little stone, where have you been fooling around? Our master is here, come back to greet him! ”

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

On the other side of the garden, the voice of a child was equally excited.

In just a few seconds, the child's figure jumped in front of Shen Qinghan very quickly, looking at her motionless with a pair of curious eyes, the torn cotton jacket that was the same as the white-haired old man was already dirty and could not see the original color.

Shen Qinghan looked at the child in a daze, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when the white-haired old man had already come to Shen Qinghan, reached out and touched the child's position, and then skillfully put his hand on the child's weak shoulder, chattering in the direction of Shen Qinghan:

"Master, I have been here with Little Stone for almost a year and today someone finally came. Originally, we were worried that we occupied this villa, and it would not be sold here, but we didn't expect that there are still kind-hearted people like you in this world who are willing to accept our grandparents and grandchildren, master, you are really a bodhisattva, what a rare good person! ”

The old man said, stretched out his wrinkled hand and touched it in the direction of Shen Qinghan, "Master, old man, I don't have good eyes, you get closer, let me touch your appearance......"

Bad eyes?

Shen Qinghan was dumbfounded.

He's a blind old man!

And the child, who looked to be seven or eight years old at most...... This grandfather and grandson are the servants said by the sales center?

Are you sure they've been carefully trained to take care of homeowners?

Shen Qinghan raised her hand and closed her chin in a daze, not daring to look at Helan Sulfone's meaningful expression at all, turned around and walked over and sat on the stairs at the gate, she needed to be quiet now.

Just when Shen Qinghan was silently cursing the female liar in the sales center in his heart, far away in the palace of Shangjing, a battle for the throne without gunpowder was being staged-

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

In the glorious retro hall, all the members of the cabinet of H were gathered, and Prince Chu Zhao stood in front of everyone far ahead, his raised face was well-defined and full of sadness.

On the throne, Chu Yan clenched his hands into fists and covered the corners of his mouth, coughing desperately, his thin body wrapped in the big red king's dress, and he was visibly emaciated.

Wen Tianyu stood beside Chu Yan, and after he finished checking his pulse quietly, his eyes sighed.

Chu Zhao, who was under the throne ladder, had uncontrollable surprise in his eyes, but his face was full of worry: "Master Wen, how is the king's condition?" ”

Master Wen Tianyu has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, and he can definitely afford to be a master of Chu Zhao.

She didn't answer Chu Zhao, but stepped on her high heels and walked down the stairs step by step, bowed in the direction of Chu Yan, and her tone was extremely self-reproachful: "Your Majesty, forgive me for not being good at learning, I really can't really cure your illness, I'm afraid that you will live a few years...... It can only last for another half a year at most. ”

When Chu Yan heard this, there was no fluctuation in his heart, he just glanced at Chu Zhao silently, and saw that although the other party's face was sad, the surprise revealed from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was so obvious!

He still has half a year left to live, and he has no heirs under his knees except Chu Sulfone, but Chu Sulfone is also short in life, and after he leaves, the throne can only fall into the hands of Chu Zhao.

It's really unwilling!

"Your Majesty," a cabinet minister suddenly stood up and knelt down on one knee: "The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and I also ask His Majesty the King to confirm the next heir as soon as possible!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

The two cabinet ministers knelt down and pleaded, their faces looking very sincere, and anyone would think that they were thinking about country H.

The others looked at each other and hesitated.

Chu Zhao quietly looked behind him and remembered these silent people in his heart.

Chu Yan's face didn't see anything wrong, and he smiled with a sickly face: "Confirm the next heir?" So who should be the next king? ”

The minister who knelt on the ground first raised his head and looked directly at Chu Yan without fear: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Prince Chu Zhao, as the only remaining direct member of the Chu family, should become the next king. ”

When Chu Zhao heard this, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips and quietly smiled, but it was only for a moment.

Soon he turned around and accused the minister: "Don't talk nonsense! His Majesty is still alive, where is your turn to decide the heir! ”

After speaking, Chu Zhao leaned over and bowed his head to Chu Yan, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the younger brother has never asked for the throne, and the throne should be inherited by Chu Yan, although he is not known now, the younger brother will definitely do his best to get him back." ”

A hint of ridicule crossed Chu Yan's eyes.

Chu Zhao thought that he had killed Chu Sulfo, and he was still celebrating at a banquet in the mansion a few days ago, but now he fell in front of him and pretended to be innocent, which was really ridiculous!

Chu Zhao saw that Chu Yan was silent, so he shifted his gaze and asked Wen Tianyu with emotion: "Master Wen, His Majesty's illness, there is really no way to return to heaven?" ”

Wen Tianyu tightened the fur coat on his body, and his graceful and luxurious face was full of sorrow: "Your Royal Highness, I am really not sure about His Majesty's condition...... Unless we can invite the master of the medicine gate to diagnose and treat her, but our own people in the medicine gate have also looked for the master for nearly 20 years, but she still doesn't know what to do, please atone for her sins. ”

Chu Zhao sighed, "Master Wen doesn't have to blame himself, his fate is determined by heaven, and there is no need to force it." ”

When he said this, he had completely regarded Chu Yan as a dead man.

When most of the people in the council heard this, their faces were displeased.

Chu Yan was even more angry and coughed violently a few times: "Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

Chu Zhao reacted suddenly, and was about to pretend to ask for guilt, but outside the main hall, a high-pitched and powerful male voice suddenly came-

"First General Shen Chongshan begs to see His Majesty the King!"

Hearing Shen Chongshan's name, Chu Yan raised his head excitedly: "Pass!" ”

In addition to the two ministers who were kneeling on the ground and Chu Zhao's face was not good, the other people in the council hall were also extremely excited, including Wen Tianyu, who was standing beside Chu Zhao.

Outside the hall, a tall figure wearing a dark green military uniform and a sassy cloak strode closer, although his resolute face carved the traces of time, it was still handsome and made people fall in love!

Shen Chongshan directly crossed Chu Zhao and Wen Tianyu, and knelt respectfully to Chu Yan: "Your Majesty, Shen Chongshan has lived up to his trust, he has repelled the invaders of Fuguo, and he has returned victorious!" ”

Chu Zhao stood behind Shen Chongshan, almost angry with him.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of Shen Chongshan's absence in Shangjing to put pressure on Chu Yan as soon as possible and make himself the next king, but who knew that Shen Chongshan would defeat Fuguo so quickly.

After receiving the news that Shen Chongshan had repelled Fuguo last night, Chu Zhao had planned today's forced palace, but he didn't expect Shen Chongshan to come back so quickly!

It's disgusting!

Chu Zhao hurriedly gave Wen Tianyu beside him a look, but found that Wen Tianyu's eyes were all on her husband Shen Chongshan at the moment, and he didn't notice that he was making eyes at all.
