In the palace, the cold wind gusted, and Emperor Tianwei was wrapped in a heavy coat, and under the support of Gonggong Cao, he walked on the road of the palace.

Behind him, followed by Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun. These two are the ministers that Emperor Tianwei relies on now, and they are also the sons and daughters of Emperor Tianwei.

The cold wind, blowing more and more, has already begun winter, the breath of winter, extra dignified. Emperor Tianwei was supported by Gonggong Cao, and his steps were a little hesitant.

"This year's wind is really strong, and if you think about it, the snow this winter must be not small. As the saying goes, Ruixue is a good year, and this year's people will definitely have a good harvest. Emperor Tianwei looked at the sky and sighed happily.

Shangguan Yu answered: "The wind is strong, the snow is strong, the emperor has mercy on the people's grace, and he is moved by God, there will definitely be a good harvest this year." ”

Listening to Shangguan Yu's words, Emperor Tianwei smiled even deeper. In the winter of this year, he has already felt seriously unwell. Not as good as last year, not as good as the year before last, he's old, he's really old. Every time he went to Concubine Mei's place and wanted to hug the little prince, he was a little powerless.

He was unwilling, but he also had to accept his fate. At this time, he staggered like an ordinary old man in the twilight.

Li Yingchun followed behind him, looking at such a Tianwei Emperor, he couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, Emperor Tianwei was going to ban Princess Rui together, but Princess Rui's young son was still young, which was really unbearable, plus Li Yingchun was the minister of the humerus, so Emperor Tianwei was extraordinarily gracious and allowed Li Yingchun to take Princess Rui back to live in Li's mansion.

King Rui is ruined. But his daughter still has to live the rest of her life.

"Cough cough cough cough ......" Another gust of cold wind blew, and Emperor Tianwei coughed violently.

Gonggong Cao stretched out his hand and combed his back for him: "Your Majesty, it's cold, why don't we go back......"

"No, I'm going to walk around again, and then look at my palace, I'm afraid that once I fall, I'll never see it again......" Emperor Tianwei seemed to have a slight premonition.

As soon as they heard him say such things, Li Yingchun and Shangguan Yu fell directly to the ground and cried.

"Your Majesty, don't say such a thing, the emperor is in good health, and he will never ......"

Emperor Tianwei stretched out his hand and motioned for Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun to get up. He is a generation of emperors, and he has already seen everything. I see life and death more clearly. He knew his fate, and these so-called persuasions were just good words.

"Alright, let's all get up, I have it in my heart." Emperor Tianwei's expression was solemn and his tone was deep.

Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun got up.

"Xiao Caozi, I'm tired, help me back to the imperial study." Emperor Tianwei commanded Gonggong Cao.

Gonggong Cao nodded and whispered. He helped Emperor Tianwei, took Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun, and walked in the direction of the imperial study.

The road seems to be very long, Emperor Tianwei only looked at it and did not speak, these days, he has walked in the palace countless times, what he thinks in his heart, no one knows.

In the study, Gonggong Cao took down the big coat from Emperor Tianwei, the monarch and the ministers settled, and Li Yingchun prostrate on the ground.

"Your Majesty, there is a battle report from the front, saying that the Duan prince has led the troops well, and has won five battles, and the Hu attacking troops have been repelled for fifty miles......"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor......"

Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun knelt on the ground and congratulated Emperor Tianwei, and a smile appeared on Emperor Tianwei's face.

Duanwang is indeed deeply rooted in his heart, because he is the son of Queen Sun, as the so-called, the root is Miaohong, a few years ago, Emperor Tianwei wanted to establish Duanwang as the crown prince, but at that time he took too much care. I am in the prime of life, so I don't want to establish a reserve.

Now, his body is like this, and he doesn't know when there will be problems. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and at this time, it is time to consider the matter of establishing a prince.

Emperor Tianwei coughed violently, and that cough almost coughed out his lungs. Gonggong Cao approached intimately, beating the back for Emperor Tianwei, and after a while, Emperor Tianwei finally spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm in his mouth.

Inside the phlegm, there was a red patch of blood.

This is not the first time that Emperor Tianwei has coughed up blood. I summoned the imperial doctor to see it and drank the medicine, but the effect was not very obvious.

"The emperor's ......" When they saw this scene, Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun were shocked.

They know exactly what it means to cough up blood. Sure enough, the rumors outside are all true, and the fact that Emperor Tianwei is seriously ill is indeed true.

"Your Majesty, call the imperial doctor over to take a look...... "Gonggong Cao's eyes persuaded him with tears.

"Forget it, my body is clear, at this time, I still have to discuss state affairs with the two Aiqing, you go out first." Emperor Tianwei sat down again. He threw the bloody handkerchief in his hand to the ground.

The redness was shocking.

"There are five princes under my knees. King Duan, King Rui, King Hua, King Qing. The youngest Ziyi is still in infancy, according to the two Aiqing, which of these five princes is the most suitable to be the future prince...... "Emperor Tianwei brought out all his five sons, took them out and compared them one by one, and asked Shangguan Yu and Li Yingchun to give their opinions.

In this way, it can also be seen that Emperor Tianwei attaches great importance to the two of them.

The tears of the two, with tears, also have to face such a reality.

"Your Majesty, King Rui is the son of a foreign race, and now, because of the crime of rebellion, he is imprisoned in the palace by the emperor, and he is afraid that he will not have a chance to be the crown prince." Shangguan Yu directly mentioned King Rui. It's just a two-sentence effort, and King Rui has been eliminated.

In fact, even if Shangguan Yu didn't bring it up, everyone knew in their hearts that King Rui would never be the prince.

"The sixth prince is young, still in infancy, and has not made achievements for the Celestial Empire, if he is appointed as the prince, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Li Yingchun brought Su Ziyi out.

Indeed, there is an elder brother, and it is not the turn of the young Su Ziyi, besides, this great Heavenly Empire, Emperor Tianwei has been in business for a lifetime, and it must not be handed over to a young child.

Emperor Tianwei nodded, agreeing with the meaning of the two.

"Lord Hua is weak, and he married the princess of Western Xia as his wife, in the future, I am afraid that if the woman is strong and the man is weak, he is not the most suitable candidate for the position of the prince......" Li Yingchun said his thoughts.

Emperor Tianwei's expression was slightly solemn, if it weren't for these two reasons, he would definitely not hesitate to hand over the position of crown prince to Su Zimo's hands.

After all, Su Zimo is the child he gave birth to with the woman he loves. And Su Zimo's personality, he is also the most clear. In order to stabilize the country, the prince is elected, and the virtuous and peaceful person is elected.

"According to the two of you, only King Qing and King Duan are left, which of the two of them is more qualified for the position of prince......" Emperor Tianwei threw bricks and led the topic here.
