480 who rules the world
Covering his chest and coughing violently, he didn't forget to hold Su Jinling's hand, his palms were cold and wet, and his fingertips trembled slightly: "So, I beg you, let Xuan Cang treat Xuan Sheng well, don't ......"
Yuwen Rongtian coughed heartbreakingly, and finally spit out a mouthful of black and red blood.
Su Jinling didn't have time to think about what this matter had to do with Yuwen Xuancang, so he hurriedly supported him and asked to pass on the imperial doctor.
"I didn't ...... It's useless. Yuwen Rongtian said with difficulty: "They came just to let me suffer for a while." I'm tired and want to rest, Zilan is still waiting for me over there. I only said that I would accompany her well after the battle, but I made her wait alone for so many years......"
Looking at the candlelight outside the shark, it was infinitely fascinating.
"Your Majesty ......" Su Jinling was a little flustered.
"Your Majesty, report ...... urgently"
"What urgent report? The emperor is resting, you ......"
"I'm doing what I'm told, who dares to stop me?"
Suddenly there was a commotion outside.
Emperor Jingyuan has a rule that once a battle report comes from the front, no matter when and where, he must be the first to report to him.
At this moment, the old man who was dying suddenly sat up, his eyes sharp: "Wu Liuqi, let him come in!" ”
A rush of footsteps stopped in the messy sound of jade bead chains.
A junior colonel knelt down on one knee in front of the bed, and his hands were sealed with fire-painted letters: "Your Majesty, you ambushed our Longyi Army in Qianxu, and was beaten to the ground by the general of Nanzhong, and annihilated 5,000 enemies. This is the battle report presented to His Majesty by General Nanchu ......"
Yuwen Rongtian took the letterhead steadily, took out the paper and unfolded it, and immediately laughed: "Okay!" Good! Just let these bastards keep their eyes open and take a good look, even if I die, there will be sons who will beat them for me! Haha......"
But a sharp cough suddenly broke out, and in an instant, the shark in the distance was suddenly covered with a layer of blood mist.
"The Emperor's ......"
"The Emperor's ......"
Wu Liuqi hurried in with the imperial doctor.
Yuwen Rongtian seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength, lying on the bed like an old piece of paper, and only muttered: "Jinling, don't hate me......"
"Miss Jinling, you're still ......"
Su Jinling walked out with tears in her eyes.
Walking in front of the jasper bead chain, I couldn't help but pause and look back......
A group of people surrounded the huge dragon bed impenetrable, and the strong king was long gone, and their shadows were reflected on the silk, with the curtain swaying, strange and nothing......

Su Jinling walked out of the hall and saw Yuwen Xuanyi standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking anxious and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.
She stepped forward, took his cold hand, and before she could speak, a cry suddenly came from the hall.
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and then, Wu Liuqi staggered out, barely straightened his waist, his face was full of sorrow, and tears were running horizontally.
"Your Majesty, ...... died"
The old man's hoarse voice trembled all around, startling the sleeping bird, flapping its wings and flying into the night sky, sprinkling a wail.
But suddenly the silence was broken by sharp scissors, and the surrounding area suddenly cried loudly......
————————————————————
Wu Liuqi walked up to Su Jinling tremblingly, and said in a dumb voice: "The emperor finally has a will, saying that there is one thing that will be handed over to Princess Qingning......"
All eyes looked at her.
Emperor Jingyuan did not set up a crown prince during his lifetime, and now he died suddenly, and the throne was vacant......
But how could the emperor give her such an important matter? Could it be ......
His gaze immediately shifted to Yuwen Xuanyi.
Su Jinling cried in a daze, and just nodded when she heard the words. He got up and walked out of the temple.
All eyes were drawn by her, people's curiosity overshadowed the grief caused by the bad news, and tears seemed to freeze in the bottom of their eyes, only watching her go away for a moment, only watching several important ministers follow her for a moment.
Concubine Xian covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried a few times, but quickly glanced diagonally.
Yan Shun bowed quietly, took a few steps back while everyone was looking at the departing people, and disappeared into the shadows of the trees.
————————————————————
Zhaoyang Palace, the lights are dim, as if he knows that he can no longer wait for the master who has been in the limelight for decades, and those coiling dragons with scales and whiskers are all angry, hidden in the misty shadows.
Stepping into the high vermilion lacquer threshold, Su Jinling stopped, raised his eyes, and looked at the huge plaque with golden lacquer hanging above the throne, on which there were four big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing silently from left to right...... Loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety.
The important ministers who followed behind him also stopped and stood outside the door, looking in the same direction.
There was silence all around, only the sound of the wind whipped up the fallen leaves, stumbling on the ground.
Su Jinling walked forward, stood under the plaque, and looked up......
Immediately someone brought the ladder.
Su Jinling was just about to go up, but Wu Liuqi hurriedly said: "The princess is slow, let them ......."
Su Jinling shook her head.
Wu Liuqi no longer insisted, and only ordered the little eunuch to hold on to the ladder and watch Su Jinling slowly climb up.
The huge plaque resembles a dark cloud, but it is a dark cloud studded with gold edges, and in her sometimes clear and sometimes blurred vision, it shows danger and also contains hope.
She could vaguely guess what was hidden behind the plaque, and she had to verify this important moment herself.
The hand moving on the ladder was already shaking, and the palm was full of cold sweat, and once it slipped off his hand.
But a hand held her firmly.
It's Yuwen Xuanyi.
In this case, all the members of the Yuwen family must be present, even if the king is still alive.
This is the heavenly family, but it is needed by the government and the people, so family affection is a luxury for them in many cases. Just like Emperor Jing Yuan, he didn't tell the truth until the last moment, but unfortunately, none of them heard it......
The corners of Yuwen Xuanyi's lips hooked slightly, and he looked at her deeply.
At this moment, my mind was turning.
Xuanyi, how much I hope ......
But he only glanced at her, and then floated down and stood in front of the crowd, leaving her dangling in the air, and the gold-rimmed cloud hanging overhead.
Closer, closer......
The huge plaque finally appeared in front of her silently and calmly, occupying all her sight.
It seems that even if there is a landslide and a tsunami, this golden word will stand between heaven and earth. This majestic and solemn is awe-inspiring and depressing.
She took a few deep breaths, Fang calmed down the excitement in her heart, slowly stretched out her hand, and leaned behind the plaque......
My heart trembled......
She found a box, long and wide, with a smooth surface......
I didn't feel a little short of breath.
...... "In the plaque of 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness' of Zhaoyang Palace, there is a secret edict. When I am gone, you take out a black lacquered wooden box from under the word 'righteousness...... Remember, it's the word 'righteousness' that ......"
Why does the emperor have to emphasize the word "righteousness"?
Curious, but with a bold guess...... No, it can be said for sure.
She let go of her right hand holding the ladder and leaned behind the word "benevolence......
Really!
My heart skipped a beat.
The little eunuch saw that she was groping back and forth under the plaque, only to look for something, and that the plaque was large, so he told her to stand firm, and the four of them worked together to move the ladder to the right again.
"Filial piety" ...... "loyalty...... The back is empty.
Su Jinling held the two boxes in both hands, feeling that the palms were wet, and the boxes became smoother and smoother, as if they were about to slip out of her hands.
She ordered the little eunuch to move the ladder back into its place and hold on tightly to what was in her hand.
Really, is it really up to her to decide?
The box must have contained a holy decree that would determine the choice of the new emperor, but unfortunately, she couldn't see whose name was written on it.
Xuanyi, how much I hope ......
It's you...... After many years of long-cherished wishes, holding the country and sitting on the world, you will definitely be a great gentleman!
Not you...... We can still be at ease, according to the agreement made a long time ago, all over the mountains and rivers, and go to a place where no one is happy to live.
Xuanyi, do you want to ...... Is it you, or ......
It's just a cup of tea, but it seems to have gone through several reincarnations, until Wu Liuqi urged softly, Su Jinling's fingers tightened and tightened, and finally let go of his right hand......
————————————————————
When everyone saw her take out a long black wooden box from behind the plaque, they immediately understood the important meaning of this, and stared intently at her hand and the wooden box in her hand.
For a moment, the breathing in the hall suddenly stopped, and only the blazing eyes accompanied by the swaying of the candle flame, silent but scorching......
————————————————————
Su Jinling slowly descended the ladder and handed the wooden box to Wu Liuqi.
Wu Liuqi hurriedly bowed: "The emperor has entrusted this matter to the princess, and asked the princess to ......"
The wooden box is very light, but it seems to have a thousand weights, the alternation of an era, the choice of two destinies, will be born in her hands......
People only saw her face calm, but they didn't know the turmoil in her heart.
However, there are also those who believe that there is no mystery in this...... Since it is for Princess Qingning to carry out the final will, the candidate must be ......
They looked at the ice-blue figure.
He stood with his hands in his hands, his clothes fluttering slightly in the breeze of entering the hall, and he was still the clear demeanor of the past. It's just that the end of his eyes still carries the grief of his father's death, but he looks at the woman in front of him with tenderness and pity, as if he doesn't care about what is in the box at all, but just wants to give the woman endless courage and wait for her to complete the emperor's final entrustment......
After a while, the woman in front of her opened the box seemingly calmly......
The lid of the box is bright yellow inside, and it is really ......
Everyone silently staggered their eyes, and then saw the slender fingers take out a bright yellow silk silk that was folded and flat, and unfolded it......
A thin layer, but I couldn't see the handwriting on the other side, but I saw the woman's thin shoulders tremble......
However, just when she seemed to be extremely shocked or extremely excited, she wanted to raise her eyes and look somewhere...... She has been seen with long eyelashes trembling slightly......
It may be that everyone was so nervous that their hearts were rumbling, so they didn't hear a soft sound......
They only saw that the silk suddenly caught fire, from Su Jinling's left hand......
Su Jinling exclaimed......
Silk flutters......
The flames have devoured the first word on the left, followed by "Xuan......", "Wen", ...... "Yu......
Such a solemn but simple final decision was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye in a flame that was even more dazzling than bright yellow.
