"Brother Huang! You'll be fine! You are the Son of Heaven! ”

A boy who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old was lying on his stomach in front of the dragon couch and cried.

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground, led by a woman wearing a phoenix crown and a bright yellow dress, who looked to be in her twenties. The woman was crying silently, and the palace maids and eunuchs behind her were all crying with their heads down. I don't know if they are really sad or afraid of death and have to cry, in short, their shoulders are shaking badly.

On the dragon couch, Li Hongyuan, the current son of heaven of the Great Qian Dynasty, has reached the point of death. After listening to the young man's words, he sighed helplessly and said, "It has been twelve years since I ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and I have finally done something for the people. I thought I could inherit the inheritance of my ancestors, but unfortunately God didn't give me this opportunity. Li Hongyuan's words were full of unwillingness, but there was also some relief.

After wiping his tears and snot for the crying young man, he continued: "Little brother, I originally wanted you to be a carefree prince for the rest of your life, but I'm afraid it won't work, I have no heirs, and the country can only be handed over to you." ”

The young man's face became extremely pale after listening to Li Hongyuan's words, being an emperor? How does this work? He never thought about it. In his opinion, being the emperor is the most tiring errand in the world, and his imperial brother can probably be said to be tired when he gets to such a point.

The young man waved his hand again and again: "Brother Huang! I can't help it! The younger brother is only twelve years old, and he can't afford to be a big cadre in the world! ”

"Cough cough cough ......" Li Hongyuan saw the young man's reaction, coughed violently, and seemed to use all his strength to sit up, staring at the young man with a pair of eyes and saying: "Li Yunqing, the king of Changle, listens to the order!" This shout was a bit neutral.

When the young man heard this, his body shook violently, and he knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Brother is here." ”

The woman wearing the phoenix crown and the palace maid and eunuch in the room immediately pressed their bodies lower when they heard this, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Li Hongyuan took a deep breath and said, "Li Yunqing, the king of Changle, is the youngest son of Emperor Taizu. The young man is smart, his character is valuable, and he will be able to inherit the unification, succeed me to the throne, and succeed the emperor. ”

The hall became silent for a while, and even the sound of breathing disappeared completely.

Li Yunqing's forehead was full of sweat at the moment, he really didn't want to be an emperor. For him, who has been familiar with history books since he was a child, he has long seen through what kind of errand the emperor is. To be an emperor, if you want to be a good emperor, it is not easy, not to mention the hard work all day long, but also to worry about who will come to murder yourself, the founding of the country is only 50 years old, the remnants of the previous dynasty are still there, everyone wants to find an opportunity to kill the emperor Lao Tzu, restore the country. His royal brother has been working tirelessly for 12 years, and he has been assassinated six times in 12 years, what is this called?

Li Hongyuan saw that Li Yunqing was lying on the ground and pretending to be a turtle but did not accept the order, and yelled angrily: "King Changle, do you want to resist the order?!" ”

When Li Yunqing heard this, he sighed in his heart and said loudly: "Brother Chen, thank you!" ”

Li Hongyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said softly to the woman kneeling there wearing a phoenix crown: "Queen, after I leave, you can only rely on Yun Qing for your life, speaking of which, I can't help you, you are still so young." ”

"Woo woo woo ......" When the queen heard this, she hurriedly knelt down in front of the dragon couch and held Li Hongyuan's hand, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she choked up: "Your Majesty, don't say that." You are a good emperor, but also a good husband of a concubine, if you want to say sorry, it should be the concubine, the concubine deserves death, and failed to give birth to a dragon heir to the emperor, woo woo...... The concubines have already thought about it, if the emperor goes up, the concubines will also go with the emperor......"

Li Hongyuan patted the queen's cheek when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say stupid things, how can there be a reason for the mother of a country to be martyred?" Okay, you go and call Wang Changling in. ”

"Yes." The queen got up and walked out quickly.

Without much effort, a burly man, wearing a big red official uniform and a black veil, looked like he was about forty years old, and walked in with the queen, this person was the first assistant of the dynasty, a scholar of the Evergreen Pavilion, Wang Changling. He didn't look up, and after standing still, he knelt down towards the dragon couch and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Wang Changling knocks on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" There was another violent cough, and Li Hongyuan said to Wang Changling: "Zikang, you can be said to have done your best to assist the emperor and me, and it can be said that you have done your best to me. I have passed the throne to King Changle, and you will continue to assist you well in the future. ”

When Wang Changling heard this, he lay on the ground and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty ......"

"Wang Changling, before the age of fifteen, the government will be handled by your cabinet, and when he reaches the age of fifteen, he will immediately take charge of the government, do you understand what I said?" Li Hongyuan stared at Wang Changling with a pair of eyes and said.

Wang Changling was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and he kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Your Majesty! I'm afraid that the old minister can't afford such a big thing. ”

When Li Hongyuan heard this, he said angrily: "You are all afraid that you can't afford it!" Could it be that I will give this great country to the barbarians on the grassland?! Or those unnaturalized outcasts on the island to the east?! This is my holy decree, and you cannot bargain! ”

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Wang Changling straightened up and said loudly: "In this case, please rest assured that the emperor will do his best to assist the successor monarch!" This was said loudly, and it seemed that a great deal of determination had been made.

In September of the 11th year of Xingye, Li Hongyuan, the second emperor of the Great Qianhuang Dynasty, died in the Yongfu Palace in the Qianchang Palace, the temple name was Taizong, and the name was the Emperor of Chenggong Wen, who succeeded to the Tianxing Dao Zhaoji, the great saint of the gods, benevolence, Wenyi, Wujunde, and Chenggongwen.

For a time, the world was silent, and the people took to the streets after learning the news of the emperor's death, and the main road in Tai'an City was full of people kneeling on both sides, and they spontaneously wore filial piety around their waists, and the sound of crying was endless.

Li Yunqing was dressed in mourning clothes, holding a huge black background gold character in his hand, and behind him was a huge coffin, the coffin did not look luxurious, and it was only carved with the most ordinary five-clawed dragon pattern symbolizing the emperor's identity.

Glancing at the people on both sides, Li Yunqing couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and the tears that had been flowing non-stop became even worse. His imperial brother is a good emperor, and the people really support him. Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Brother Huang, you are worthy of the world, worthy of your father, rest in peace." ”

Qianchang Palace, Tian'an Palace.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials looked up at the huge plaque in the middle of the Tian'an Palace, "Ying Tian Shunmin", just because behind the plaque was the edict of Emperor Daxing.

Wang Changling, as the first assistant minister, asked for such a solemn thing as asking for a testament, so he naturally did it, climbed up the long ladder brought by the eunuch to the high place, fumbled for a moment, and carefully took out a long box wrapped in bright yellow silk.

Li Yunqing was standing on the left side of Yusuke at the moment, and when he saw the box in Wang Changling's hand, Li Yunqing's cheeks couldn't help twitching twice, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

Descending the stairs, Wang Changling stood in the center of the imperial steps, a little eunuch knelt down on his hand, Wang Changling respectfully put the box on the eunuch's hand, untied the bright yellow silk, and a long gold lacquer dragon pattern box appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Empress Lin Wan walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs knelt down, and the mountain called the queen Chitose. Lin Wan got on the throne and gave a small key to Wang Changling, who was kneeling in front of him, and then stood aside.

Wang Changling took the key and opened the box, took out the edict of Emperor Daxing from it, opened the edict and said loudly: "Emperor Daxing's edict!" ”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs knelt down again, and Empress Lin Wan also knelt on top of Yusuke, and Li Yunqing was naturally no exception. I only heard Wang Changling say: "Li Yunqing is the youngest son of Emperor Taizu, a young man, a smart boy, a noble character, and a deep Xiao bow, he will be able to inherit the great unification, succeed me to the throne, succeed the emperor, and admire this." ”
