Nian Shi re-bowed, "Weichen sees the emperor." ”

Xiao Sheng took a deep breath and almost wanted to get up. Seeing this, Nian Shizhong hurriedly stepped forward, leaned the soft cushion behind Xiao Sheng, and sat up with him, "The emperor looks very good. ”

"I know my body." Xiao Sheng glanced at Nian Shizhong, who looked respectful and humble. No matter what time it is, the age is like this, how has it ever changed.

Maybe this is the ability, at least this look, which can make many people feel happy when they see it.

If someone tries to show humility in front of you, the vanity of many people will be satisfied. Especially a high-ranking person like Xiao Sheng, he eats this set.

"Does the emperor feel better?" Nian Shizhong took the ginseng soup on the side and handed it over.

Xiao Sheng took a sip, "How is it out now?" ”

"There is no emperor in charge, and some are ready to move, but as a courtier of the emperor, the minister is bound to go to the soup for the emperor, and he will not give up. No matter when, as long as the emperor gives an order, Weichen will have no complaints. "The years are full of promises.

"Civil and military officials, I'm afraid they're all waiting for me to establish the prince, right?" Although Xiao Sheng is sick, his brain is not confused.

Nian Shizhong looked embarrassed, "The emperor's body is acceptable, so there is no need to rush to establish the country." ”

"I am interested in the Eight Princes, but the Eight Princes are young and cannot protect themselves, how can they preside over the overall situation and sit on the world?" Xiao Sheng sighed lightly, "I have many princes, but there are very few who can take on this important task. ”

Nian Shizhong is not a fool, the emperor said this, in fact, he was just testing his meaning. Although Xiao Sheng was ill, he also killed his father and seized the throne, so he naturally understood that this time was actually the best time for a mutiny.

But at the moment, there was no movement one by one, and Xiao Sheng himself became uneasy.

"The eighth prince is very good-behaved, humble and polite, and has both talent and learning, but this Concubine Liu-" Nian Shizhong frowned slightly, "The emperor should also understand that the child is young, and the dictatorship of his relatives is often there." ”

Xiao Sheng nodded, "I've thought about it too, but-"

"Weichen should be damned!" Nian Shizhong suddenly knelt down, "Weichen asks the emperor to forgive the minister for the death penalty." ”

"What do you do?" Xiao Sheng frowned.

"Please forgive the emperor." Nian Shi knelt there and kowtowed fiercely.

Xiao Sheng took a deep breath, "Okay, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Hearing this, Nian Shizhong raised his head, but still knelt there, "The minister has the courage to say a fair word, but these words, I'm afraid that there will be a dirty saint to listen to." ”

Xiao Sheng didn't speak, but he already knew in his heart what he was talking about.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, he could only continue to say, "Although the third prince Xiao Dongli is not a brother-in-law, the emperor is also clear about what he has done. The three princes were brave and good at fighting, and they were strong enough to defeat Beizhao, so that Beizhao did not dare to attack. And above the court, all civil and military officials respect him. Weichen knows that it is a capital crime to influence the emperor, but Weichen is dedicated to the emperor and the country, and he is selfless. If the emperor condemns the micro-ministers, the micro-ministers will also say. The matter of succession, please think twice. ”

"I'll think about it." Xiao Sheng closed his eyes for a long time and spit out a lukewarm word, "You go down first." ”

Nian Shi saluted again, "Weichen retired." ”

Waiting for the new year to go out, Xiao Sheng opened his eyes and waved his hand to let his henchman eunuch step forward, "The Imperial Forest Army outside, have they all changed?" ”

The eunuch bowed his head, "Your Majesty, they are all fresh faces." ”

"It seems that success or failure is theirs." Xiao Sheng coughed lightly twice, and there was a salty smell in his mouth, which was the taste of blood. Holding back the fishy smell in his mouth, Xiao Sheng leaned on the soft cushion, "However, even if I really die, I won't let him be happy." Yu Jin treated me like this back then, so I-"

The eunuch was stunned, "What does the emperor mean?" ”

"We'll talk about it in a few days." Xiao Sheng didn't say much, and slowly lay down to rest.

In the past few days, Xiao Sheng woke up and fell asleep, his face was completely pale, and even the imperial doctor was helpless, which showed that he had really reached the end of his life. Even so, there is always a return to the light when you are dying.

Everyone at the bottom is ready, and all forces are ready to move.

At this moment, every decision of Xiao Sheng is a matter of life and death.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" The eunuch hurriedly picked up Xiao Sheng and did it.

"I feel better." Xiao Sheng took a deep breath, "How long have you been asleep?" ”

"The emperor slept for five hours this time." The eunuch replied timidly, "Is the emperor hungry?" Minions go—"

"Go get me pen and paper." Xiao Sheng said.

As soon as these words came out, the eunuch was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to get a pen and paper. The fool also knows that the emperor wants a pen and paper at this time, undoubtedly wanting to make an edict.

Sure enough, Xiao Sheng was really writing a testament.

It's just that no one dares to snoop.

When Xiao Sheng wrote, the hand holding the pen couldn't stop trembling, and what was even more strange was that there was a smile on the corner of his lips and tears in his eyes. Why, no one can say. What kind of emotion can make him look like this?

Waiting to finish writing the edict, Xiao Sheng glanced at his henchman eunuch again, "I asked you to prepare something." ”

The eunuch's eyes twitched, "Yes." ”

The palace began to get nervous, because the emperor woke up, and immediately summoned Xiao Dongli and Nian Shizhong and other important ministers, but there was no Shangguan Feng. It stands to reason that if the emperor feels that his life is short, he will inevitably entrust the court to the most loyal ministers.

Shangguan Feng has served the monarch for many years, and he is also well aware of the affairs of the court.

Such a prime minister doesn't want to be entrusted with trust, is it possible that there is any inside story?

The emperor did not summon him, so Shangguan Feng naturally couldn't go to face the saint, and sat in the cloister closest to the emperor's bedroom, waiting for Xiao Dongli's news.

The emperor summoned the first to be heavy.

When Nian Shizhong and Baiguan entered, Xiao Sheng's complexion was very good, and he was still a little ruddy.

"I don't know it soon, so I'll make a long story short." Xiao Sheng panted, "There is an edict here, and I will read it when I return to the sky." Be sure to act in accordance with this edict and make no mistakes. Violators will be killed. ”

Nian Shizhong was respectful, took the holy decree with both hands, and led a group of people to kneel on the ground, "The ministers obey the holy decree, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Nian Aiqing, I know, you will definitely do it." Xiao Sheng smiled meaningfully.

Nian Shizhong was stunned, this time, he didn't understand what the emperor meant. It's just that this edict - is it in Xiao Dongli? If not, so what?

"You all go out, and let the three princes come in to see me." Xiao Sheng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down.

"The ministers are leaving." Nian Shizhong tightened his grip on the holy decree in his hand and led the civil and military officials to retreat. When he went out, Nian Shi glanced at Xiao Dongli again, and the two exchanged glances, which was regarded as a greeting.

Xiao Dongli saw the holy decree in Nian Shizhong's hand, and knew that this was probably the edict.

When he entered, Xiao Sheng was still leaning on the bed, turning his head and looking at Xiao Dongli coldly, "Do you feel very relieved when you see me like this?" ”

Xiao Dongli didn't answer, just bowed and saluted, "See the emperor." Since Xiao Dongli returned, in front of the courtiers, he would call out "Father", but if there was no one, Xiao Sheng would just be an "emperor".

That's all.
