Xia Yu smiled lightly, with a faint relief in his expression, even if the army failed this time, there would still be someone to continue in his place.

In the emperor's bedroom, the emperor, who vomited blood because of hearing Xia Yu's army, was lying on the bed, he felt as if his limit was at this time, and he gasped and called the eunuch who had been serving by his side: "How is the situation outside now?" ”

Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, shook his head: "The three princes are retreating one after another, and it seems that they will be arrested for crimes in a short time." ”

"I can't hold on anymore, Lao Li, you've been with me for so many years, and I can't imagine that I'm going to take the first step." There was a little sadness in the emperor's tone.

Gonggong Li hurriedly knelt down and wanted to say something, but the emperor held his arm: "I haven't seen the prosperity of the world, and I haven't seen the unification of the world, so it's a pity that I just went." Even if you leave, you have to arrange the rest of the things before you can rest assured. ”

Gonggong Li's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was hoarse: "If the emperor still has anything to order, the slave will go and announce it." ”

The emperor waved his hand, struggled to sit up, and asked Gonggong Li to take the holy decree on the table, and while writing it, he commanded softly: "Wait for me to die, and you will take out this holy decree and pronounce it......"

After telling what he was going to order, the emperor was lying on the bed, his consciousness had begun to blur, but his hand was still holding Gonggong Li's arm: "When I die, you will go out of the palace and find a house to retire ......" Before he finished speaking, Gonggong Li felt that the strength in his hand was slowly dissipating, and he knew that the dry hand slowly fell to the bed.

A hall of the Imperial Palace.

"Did you kill it?" Xia Jingnian asked coldly.

"That Gonggong Li just left the emperor's bedroom yesterday, and our people went up and killed him." The man kneeling before him replied.

"It's important to make sure nothing goes wrong." Xia Jingnian nodded after hearing this, and when the emperor's proposed decree reached him, he knew that all his arrangements were going to be revealed at this time.

"Our men have already put on human skins, masks, and replaced the old eunuch. Now the matter of the divine decree is secure. "The subordinates should be to report the current progress to Xia Jingnian.

"In that case, let's wait for the show to begin." Xia Jingnian smiled, got up, put on his clothes and walked out.

"My father has passed away, and I, as a son, should also enter the palace and wait." He was dressed in plain white robes, and with a heavy face on his face, he walked towards the palace.

At this time, the palace was in mourning.

The emperor's concubines before his death had all knelt outside the palace and cried.

Xia Chengmu and several other princes knelt outside the door, and when they saw Xia Jingnian finally arrive, they finally let go of their last worries.

Now none of the emperor's sons have shown any interest in the throne. And Xia Jingnian, the king of Qi, did not participate in the struggle of their brothers.

He has already received definite news, the emperor is going to pass on the throne to him, and he Xia Chengmu has tried his best to defeat the brothers, and he has obtained a justifiable name.

Now that several princes have arrived, I don't think there will be any more moths.

Xia Chengmu looked at his eyes, thinking that he would become the last master of this imperial city in a while, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

"Before the emperor died, thanks to the emperor's trust in the slave for many years, he gave the will to the slave to pass on the throne."

Gonggong Li walked out at this moment and stood in front of several princes. Haha Literature Network

A few princes kowtowed in the direction of the dormitory, and Gonggong Li nodded: "Everyone take the order!" ”

"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said: King Jing of Qi, leniency and severity, and diligent, is my siblings, who can inherit my legacy. Special to turn with it. ”

After Gonggong Li finished reading, everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at Xia Jingnian who was kneeling in front of him.

And Xia Chengmu next to him couldn't believe it, if it wasn't for the etiquette, he was afraid that he would jump up immediately and question the truth of Gonggong Li's holy decree.

"The younger brother will live up to the trust of the imperial brother, and he will do his best to die and open peace for the world." Xia Jingnian remained silent, as if he didn't notice these sights, but only thanked him.

"The princes of the first emperor have been carefully taught, and now His Royal Highness King Qi is the younger brother of the first emperor, and it is not reasonable for the first emperor to pass on it, and this holy decree makes the ministers a little confused!"

Xia Jingnian had just received the decree when he heard a voice behind him.

This person is the prime minister of the right dynasty, he colluded with Xia Chengmu early, he thought that today was the time when Xia Chengmu ascended the throne, but now he killed Xia Jingnian halfway.

Fang just received Xia Chengmu's instructions, and immediately jumped out.

In and out of the words, they are questioning the truth of this holy decree.

Xia Jingnian stood up with the holy decree in his hand and looked at the right prime minister: "What does the right prime minister mean that I forged the holy decree?" ”

He already called himself me, and the face of the right prime minister was a little unsightly, and the ministers next to him had already been subdued by Xia Chengmu before, and when he heard the right prime minister's question, he couldn't help but echo it.

Xia Chengmu next to him didn't speak, but nodded slightly to the right prime minister.

Xia Chengmu never thought that he would lose his life by calculating the prince of the East Palace and the third prince, he thought it was a 100% chance of winning, but he let Xia Jing come to a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.

However, if he spoke at this time, he would be dissatisfied with this holy decree, which did not match what he had shown in the past, and also made his seizure of the throne look a little ugly.

Even if he hated Xia Jingnian, looking at Xia Jingnian's gaze almost pierced him.

The right prime minister received Xia Chengmu's instructions, and then pondered for a moment and continued: "Previously, the Holy Lord had already handed over all the power in his hands to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince was quite important to the Holy Master, so how could he choose His Royal Highness the King of Qi to succeed him. ”

"The king has never interfered in the matter of passing on the throne, and it should be the holy decree kept by Gonggong Li." Xia Jingnian slowly spoke.

"And listening to the meaning of the right prime minister, it was determined that the six princes would inherit the throne early, and it seems that the right prime minister got the news early."

Xia Jingnian's words were not heavy, but they smashed into everyone's hearts.

The holy will cannot be speculated, and no one knows the details of this edict before, could it be that Xia Chengmu can interfere?

And the right prime minister, as the minister of the country, the first emperor did not die, but he took refuge in the prince and became a disciple, and the pure minister is not pure, which is already a taboo.

After listening to Xia Jingnian's words, his face suddenly turned pale and he knelt down.

Immediately, everyone was a little frightened, and they all stopped echoing the words of the right prime minister.
