The people of the Central Plains also admire Chang Yi from the bottom of their hearts, and they can regard the safety of the world as their own responsibility, and the least they can do along the way is praise.

But just when he was about to arrive in the capital one day, a bad news came without warning.

"Third Highness, Lord Lu, it's not good!" The people who came from the capital immediately found Chang Yi and Lu Qingyi's people.

The two recognized that this was not someone else, but someone from the Glory Bureau, so they immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The man didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and said word by word: "The emperor is suddenly critically ill, and the second prince has rushed to the emperor's couch with everyone in front of him last night, and no one else is allowed to approach." ”

When Chang Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Shen Xi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said, "What is this!" Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”

"Whatever his plan is, we must rush back first, or all the dominance will be in his hands!" After Lu Qingyi came back to his senses, he immediately spoke.

Chang Yi did not hesitate, and jumped directly on the horse: "Ride!" ”

All the soldiers who were temporarily resting also immediately followed, and everyone galloped all the way in the direction of the capital.

The horse's hooves splashed up a cloud of dust, which eventually returned to dust.

No one knows what the waves are hidden in the imperial city.

The sky was white, and a faint light was revealed, through the palace window of the Changxin Palace, and sprinkled on the pillow.

Chang Wen's hand gently tapped the pear blossom wood in front of him, looked at the emperor with his eyes open on the bed, and said word by word: "Father, it's dawn." ”

"In your life, as the king of a country, the dragon and the phoenix among the people, you have always held the power in your own hands, it has been decades, and it is time to rest and rest."

The meaning of these words is quite a bit of forcing the emperor to ascend the throne. After all, now that the eldest prince has fallen, and the third prince has not yet rushed back, he is the only one in the entire imperial city who can serve as the prince.

Chang Wen knew that Chang Yi was about to come back, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he must ask the emperor to issue an edict today. If the emperor really doesn't go down, then today is his death.

The emperor died of a serious illness, and there is only one person in the capital who can take on a big responsibility, so he can naturally succeed to the throne!

It's just that that would be killing the king and killing his father, and Chang Wen is not willing to give people such a handle unless it is absolutely necessary.

So he looked straight at the emperor and said, "Father, for so many years, my efforts are definitely no less than that of the eldest emperor brother and the third emperor brother.

But because of my identity, many people are reluctant to look at me more, preferring to follow a straw bag rather than look at me. But it doesn't matter, they don't look down on their sons, and they won't be arrogant. You see, so many years have passed, isn't Erchen alive and well? ”

Chang Wen saw that the emperor was still open, but he didn't answer himself, and a little anger arose in his heart.

He suppressed his voice and continued: "What they say, Erchen doesn't care. But if the father is the emperor, the son cares. They can despise their sons, but you can't, father, because your sons have always been following your example and wanting to be the second you. ”

Just as Chang Wen was talking bitterly, planning to persuade the emperor to pass on the throne, there was a sudden call outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" 58 reading

Chang Wen, who was interrupted, was a little more angry in his heart, and said a little sharply: "What are you arguing about? My father is unwell and is still resting, don't you know? ”

"II...... Second Highness. The person who spread the news outside the door was taken aback, and immediately said: "Second Highness, Third Highness has returned to Beijing, and now he has brought the soldiers to the city gate!" ”

"What?" Chang Wen's heart throbbed suddenly.

Chang Yi came back a day earlier than he expected, which interrupted his plan. A strange emotion rose in Chang Wen's eyes, and then he stood up straight, and was about to walk out.

The person lying on the bed seemed to realize something, and tried his best to support his body: "Chang Wen! ”

The emperor was indeed powerless, and one of Fang Cai's actions had already made him cough uncontrollably: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Father, don't worry, I won't do anything. It's just to welcome the third brother back. The corners of Chang Wen's mouth hooked up a smile, and he walked out without hesitation.

Zhang Gonggong was at the door, always hanging his head, and when he saw Chang Wen walking out, he immediately made a salute: "Second Highness." ”

When facing Gonggong Zhang in front of him, the smile on the second prince's face had already retracted: "Here, take good care of my father." ”

"Yes, Second Highness." Father-in-law Zhang said while nodding.

Chang Wen had already left a hand, although after Shen Xi's stirring, there was no way to collect the courtiers, but the eunuchs in this palace were no worse than the courtiers.

Sometimes, it is even more useful than that high-ranking official.

For example, now, if it weren't for Father-in-law Zhang, others would not know that the emperor who didn't go to the morning court for two days while sick and didn't see any courtiers was actually not rejected by himself. It was he Chang Wen, who was by the emperor's side, and refused the request in front of those people.

"Chang Yi rushed back at this time, he must have heard something." Chang Wen's face was sly, and he said suddenly: "The people around him have a lot of trouble for me." Since they are all back in a hurry, then don't blame me for being rude. ”

On this side, Chang Yi, Lu Qingyi, Shen Xi and others had already rushed to the palace.

It's just that who knows, the people in front of the palace stopped them all, and said respectfully: "The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace to face the saint." ”

Chang Yi's heart suddenly became angry, and said: "My father is seriously ill, I am afraid that someone is taking advantage of my father to do evil, please pass on my life as soon as possible and let me enter the palace!" ”

The guard guarding the door frowned slightly, not understanding why Chang Yi was so anxious. But in the end, I still sent someone to run.

But the final result was the same as always: "The emperor is recuperating in the Changxin Palace, and he doesn't see anyone, Your Royal Highness, you will go back to your mansion first, and then summon you when the emperor is better." ”

"You-" Chang Yi just opened his mouth when he was stopped by Lu Qingyi: "Third Highness, don't be impulsive, so as not to leave a handle for the villain!" ”

The people outside the palace insisted on not allowing it, and even if Chang Yi had all kinds of opposition in his heart, he could only follow Lu Qingyi to the mansion first.

The candlesticks in the room were shining brightly, and Shen Xi only saw Chang Yi pacing back and forth in front of him, looking extremely anxious.

She sighed helplessly: "It must be Chang Wen's ghost, we have to imagine countermeasures." ”

Just as the three of them were thinking, Xiao Ran also rushed back: "Third Highness, Lord Lu, Mrs. Lu." ”

"How's it going out there?" Lu Qingyi immediately asked.
