Just when the emperor and queen set out to hold Shi Mo's wedding, the emperor fell ill.

"Father's ......"

Shi Mo knelt beside the dragon's bed, looking at the emperor, with a sad expression in his eyes.

When the emperor saw Shi Mo like this, he smiled and raised his hand to touch her head, "Don't worry about Cao'er, people are born, old, sick and die, and my father is like this, it is also fate." ”

Shi Mo pursed his lips and stopped talking, while the queen silently wiped her tears on the side, and the prince also knelt but did not speak.

In the end, Shi Mo spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Father, you haven't attended the wedding of your son, you insist on it, at least, at least watch your son get married." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't stop crying.

Everyone else turned their heads to the side and quietly wiped away their tears.

But at this time, the emperor was seriously ill, and it didn't take long for him to lose his physical strength, and he fell asleep in a groggy state, and after leaving the emperor's bedroom, the queen summoned the imperial doctor to inquire about the situation.

"Back to the queen's mother, the emperor's physical condition is not optimistic, at that time, the poison under Lian Jieyu has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and cannot be eradicated, according to the emperor's current condition, it will only be a week at most."

The queen's hand loosened, and she couldn't believe it, "Is there really no way?" ”

The Imperial Physician shook his head, "Forgiveness is incompetent. ”

"Well, you can step aside."

And Shi Mo had already returned to the princess's mansion at this time.

The news of the emperor's critical illness also spread, causing all parties in the capital to shake, but at this time, the crown prince had already begun to manage the government, and because of the large number of supporters, there was not much difficulty.

Even if the imperial doctor said that it would take a week at most, the emperor did not survive this week.

Five days later, the emperor died, the world was vegetarian, half a month later, the emperor was buried, the crown prince ascended the throne, and the title was Emperor Xuanwen.

The atmosphere of Xuanguo has changed slightly, but at this time, the border close to Liang has been attacked, and it is chosen at the stall where the old emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne.

Before the new emperor's throne was hot, he received news of Liang's attack.

At first, he reacted quickly and appointed military generals available in the court to rush to the front to repel the Liang army.

However, one by one, the generals went over, but in exchange for the news that the cities were lost, the generals of the Liang State beheaded the generals and marshals sent by the Xuanguo, and hung their heads on the walls of the border cities of the Xuanguo State to show the strength of the Liang State.

Emperor Wen posted notices to recruit people with strong civilian forces and proficient in the art of war, and also set up a ring to inspect the true strength of those who signed up.

The border and some remote counties have recruited some talents, but no one in the capital has signed up.

"Your Majesty, someone has signed up."

The eunuch guards knelt down on one knee to report to the emperor, and the emperor's tightly knit eyebrows loosened a little.

An hour later, Xianqi walked in front of the new emperor.

"Murong Shuang? I remember you're a top liberal arts student, right? ”

Xian Qi curled his lips and looked up into the emperor's eyes, the confidence in his eyes was so strong that the emperor's eyes dimmed, and he heard Xian Qi speak.

"Although the minister is said to be the champion of liberal arts, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is also familiar with martial arts."

"How?"

In the face of the emperor's questioning, idle chess was not in a hurry, and asked the emperor to give him a teacup.

He looked at the emperor, still smiling on his face, lifted the teacup in the direction of the emperor, held it, and under the eyes of everyone, the teacup turned into powder little by little.

"I wonder if that's enough?"

The emperor was silent, and after a while said, "That's enough." ”

As soon as he sent away the idle chess, there was a eunuch who reported it.

"The eldest princess asks to see you."

The emperor's eyes moved, and he had already guessed a little about Shi Mo's plan, and said in a deep voice: .

"Xuan."
