The queen cried and her eyes were red, knelt beside Emperor Xuanwu, saw him wake up slowly, pushed the ten princes on the bed, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you see that Hong'er has been by your side, and you promised him to hand him over to hunt in the autumn, and you can't break your promise." ”

For so many years, although I have complained about him, although I am angry with him, although I am annoyed with him, and sometimes I even hate him, but at this time, those resentments and annoyances have disappeared, leaving only deep worries and concerns.

The man she had relied on all her life, who had been regarded as a man of heaven since she married him, had now collapsed. The building toppled, and it was as if the world had been turned upside down for her.

All she could do was pray, for him to hold on. At least hold on until Jing Hong becomes an adult, and hold on until he still has a chance.

In fact, her resentment and anger may not dissipate at this moment, and her worries and worries may not necessarily be because of how much she loves Emperor Xuanwu. She just because when Emperor Xuanwu died, she, the empress, would disappear immediately. Even if she becomes the queen mother, she is just holding a seemingly noble name, but from now on she bows her head to others in the palace.

"Father, you haven't taught Hong'er ancient poems, and you haven't taught Hong'er archery and horseback riding." The Ten Princes knelt at the head of Emperor Xuanwu's bed, pursed their lips, and tears continued, "Hong'er has lost her mother, so she can't lose her father anymore." ”

Emperor Xuanwu stretched out his arm and touched the head of the tenth prince, and then put it down, "Hong'er's obedient father is old, and he can't teach Hong'er to ride a horse and shoot arrows, so let your brother Rui Wang teach you in the future." His voice was intermittent, and his anger was like a gossamer, "Xuanyu Shi Dafu Fan Zheng, Dali Temple Qing Chu Zhizhong, right minister Guan Wenyan, left minister Mu Zhaolin, auxiliary general, Anding County King." ”

After saying a word, Emperor Xuanwu panted, and a rough voice rumbled out of his throat, almost dying. This rumor, as everyone knows, is that the emperor wants to prepare for the future, and to find these ministers that the emperor relies on the most is to make a verification before he dies.

The imperial concubine lowered her head and wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, covering up the strange bright brilliance in her eyes. She covered her chest with one hand, and in the eyes of others, it seemed that the imperial concubine was sad that the emperor was about to die, but in fact, her heart was faintly excited, and she rejoiced that her son was about to ascend the throne.

She endured humiliation and weight in the palace, and forbearance and submission for many years, wasn't she just waiting for this moment? Waiting for the day when his son can become the lord of the world, waiting for himself to become the most powerful woman in the palace, waiting for those who once stood high in front of him to live on her nose from now on!

Several ministers were kneeling outside, and when they heard the call, they immediately entered the temple. Seeing the concubines and heirs kneeling on the ground, their hearts "chuckled". This scene, this is all about it.

The few people who were summoned knelt near Emperor Xuanwu next to the queen and the imperial concubine, "The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Emperor Xuanwu didn't shout, maybe he didn't have the energy to bother to say such a sentence at this time. He didn't look at these people, his eyes were wandering and confused, and he only said: "Fan Zheng, I have an edict, you write." ”

Fan Zheng received the order, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have no ability to govern the country, and I have no ability to open up the territory, so I am worthy of the expectations of the emperor. However, Jing Yu, the third son of the current emperor, is virtuous and virtuous, has a noble character, is praised and convinced by hundreds of officials, and has the virtue and ability of the first emperor. I thought about it again and again, only this son has the talent to govern the world, so it is rumored to be located in Jingyu, the third son of the emperor. It is hoped that he will uphold the will of the first emperor and me, calm the world, and surrender to the four empires. ”

Fan Zheng's words were written in one go, without being sloppy. Flying the book is like flowers blooming on the bright yellow holy decree.

Emperor Xuanwu sat up with difficulty, covered the jade seal on the holy decree, and after doing this action, as if his body had been drained of strength, he fell on the bed.

He breathed hard, like a fish that had lost water, straining to absorb oxygen.

Jing Yu held the holy decree of succession in his hand, his face was not joyful, but with a heavy heart, he slammed on the head of the bed, "bang bang bang" three rings, "The son will live up to his father's expectations, with a grateful heart, care for the people of the world, love the people of Great Qin, open up the territory, and glorify the foundation of Great Qin." ”

Emperor Xuanwu stretched out his hand, and Jing Yu hurriedly knelt beside him. Emperor Xuanwu grabbed his hand and said, "I believe in you. His voice became smaller and smaller, so small that only the two of them could hear it, "Yu'er, you have to remember that only you can trust yourself in this world, and no one else can believe it, even if it is the closest person, even if that person supports you all the way, it cannot be trusted." ”

Jing Yu burst into tears and changed his tone, "Erchen must follow his father's teachings and must keep it in mind." ”

Emperor Xuanwu's cheeks twitched, and his gaze looked behind him over him, but his eyes were dilated, and he didn't know what he was looking at. But I heard him repeat, "You must remember that no one can be trusted, no one can be." Emperor Xuanwu gave thousands of instructions, for fear that Jing Yu would forget his instructions.

"Yes, Erchen must remember." Jingyu repeatedly promised.

After Emperor Xuanwu coughed for a while, the blood at the corner of his mouth continued to flow as if it couldn't be suppressed, wetting the bed pillows. His bloody mouth said intermittently: "Spread my will, on the day the new emperor ascends the throne, King Chen will immediately leave the capital and rush to the fiefdom, there must be no mistake." ”

He doesn't care about his reputation anymore, anyway, after today, his murder of his brother and his plot to seize the throne will be heard all over the world. The world said that he was vicious or deceitful, and he would never hear it again when he closed his eyes.

He simply paved a smooth path for the emperor of his choice before he died, and did not allow stumbling blocks to appear in the way.

The new emperor needs to accumulate people's hearts and minds, and he can't easily move the scene, so let him do this wicked man to the end and remove this stumbling block for his son.

Slowing down, he looked sideways at Jing Han, a pair of red pupils burning with scorching, the green tendons on his forehead were entrenched like snakes, and his voice was calm, as if he was shouting with the last flame of the life candle, "Jing Han, you and I swear to protect my Great Qin for eternity, and to protect and assist the new emperor Jingyu forever, and not to rebel!" No rebellion! You swear! ”

Several older princes, this is the only one left at this time, and he is not worried about this prince who was once on par with Jing Yu. There are already two sons who are forcing the palace for the throne, and he is afraid that the rest of them will go the same way.

Tears swelled up in Jing Han's eyes slightly, and he kowtowed to Emperor Xuanwu and slammed on the ground, "Erchen swears never to rebel and never rebel, swear allegiance to the new emperor, and swear to defend the territory of Great Qin." ”

Throughout, he never had any interest in the throne.

It was only at this moment that he knew he needed him to swear this oath.

In the past ten years, he has complained about him, been angry with him, and even hated him, but at this time, he has no way to blame him, be angry with him, and hate him.

He's leaving, leaving this world he's been fighting for all his life. But he was very pitiful, and in the end he didn't fight for anything, so he came and left.

Everyone in this room is crying for his death, but who really weeps for him? I'm afraid, not a single one.

"Good! Good! Good! Emperor Xuanwu said three good things in a row, and he seemed to be smiling. His gaze didn't know where to go, but it just spread out, and finally stayed in the air outside the bed, looking there, and muttering softly, "Brother, I can't help you." ”

In a trance, he saw two people, one was his own brother, and the other was like a brother to him. He stretched out his hand to catch it, but it was like a water moon mirror flower, and it broke when he touched it. His hand hung from the air, stumbled to the edge of the bed, and he lost his breath.

"Your Majesty, you're dead!"

The Imperial Physician reached into his snort, his fingers trembling, knelt beside the bed, slammed to the ground, and shouted.

"The emperor is dead!"

"The emperor is dead!"

"The emperor is dead!"

Mu Xuefu stood in the outer hall, and when he heard this cry, his heart was shocked. She looked at the slowly opening door, her mind blank. The executioner who killed her entire family was finally dead, but she was not happy at this time. She once thought that she would cheer and laugh when she saw Jing Ling Cang die one day, but at this time, she couldn't laugh at all.

She hadn't killed him with her own hands, he hadn't cleared her father's name, he hadn't told her who was responsible. No, he can't die yet, if he dies, his father will be charged with being a traitor for the rest of his life, and if he dies, the Zhenguo General's Mansion will never be able to clear his innocence.

She hasn't killed him with her own hands to relieve her hatred, how can he die.

"No, no, you can't die like this, you can't just let him go!" The condensed blood rushed to the top of her head, and Mu Xuefu lost control of her emotions. Fortunately, Jing Rong intercepted her in time before she ran into the apse, Jing Rong hugged her, red eyes, "He's dead, already dead." ”

"No, you can't just forget it, it's not so easy for him to die like this, I'm going to cut him with a thousand knives, a thousand knives!" Mu Xuefu screamed in pain, tears in her eyes, and her eyes were split, "I haven't finished taking revenge, I haven't killed him with my own hands, how can I die so easily, how can I?" ”

Jing Rong hugged her tightly, his arms continued to exert force, his warm tears dripped on Mu Xuefu's neck, and he sobbed lowly, "He's dead, he's really dead." He won't be so easy, God will punish him and won't let him go. Even when he arrives in the underworld, he will suffer from digging out his heart and tongue, and he will never be a human being. ”

His father, the queen and the princess also died at the hands of Jing Lingcang, and his hatred was no less than that of Mu Xuefu, but at this time Jing Lingcang was already dead, and they had to accept this fact.

"How can you just die? How can it be? The emaciated body slid a little in Jing Rong's arms and slid on the ground. Mu Xuefu tugged at the placket of his clothes, his face wet with tears, and whispered in despair, "He hasn't made amends for my father, he hasn't proved his innocence to our Zhenguo General's Mansion, and he hasn't ······ yet."

The reputation of a family is even more important than a person's name, and now that Jing Lingcang is dead, her family will always be charged with treason against the enemy, forever and ever.

How can her father, her ancestors, her family, their heroic spirits rest in peace?

There was a wail in the Wangming Tower, but the cry of the apse completely covered the sound of the front hall. Mu Xuefu and Jing Rong snuggled up to each other, and only the two of them were left in the empty hall.
