In January of the eighteenth year of Yongning, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill, and his condition took a sharp turn for the worse.

The court and the central government have different opinions on this matter, but no matter how you guess, the emperor's current illness is so repeated, and the music in various places is piled up in the dragon case.

The ministers knew that the current emperor was no longer suitable to sit in the emperor's seat.

In a certain mansion, several ministers sat around a table, and several people frowned, and their hearts were heavy.

After one of them looked around, he spoke first: "There is not much time left for Your Highness, now that the emperor is critically ill and the situation is turbulent, now is the best time." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Another minister narrowed his eyes, "If Your Highness raises troops, it will be a rebellion!" What will the people of the world think of His Highness? ”

"Is it difficult to sit still? Now there is only one prince Xie Qingyun in the court, and the emperor has always valued him, he has great power in his hands, if His Royal Highness does not raise troops at this time and return to the capital by surprise, I am afraid that this throne will still be in Xie Qingyun's hands in the end! ”

Several ministers quarreled as they spoke, and they were red-faced and red-eared on the question of whether they could not raise troops.

Finally, the minister sitting in the center impatiently interrupted everyone: "Okay, shut up!" ”

He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Things have not yet reached the point of no return, and rebellion is the most helpless decision. His Highness's reputation cannot be ruined until he is in a desperate situation. You don't have to be in such a hurry, no matter how Xie Qingyun covers the sky with his hands, those waste legs are still something he can't solve. ”

"If the emperor wants to return the throne to him, you will attack him in groups, I don't believe it, the emperor can still be forced to pass the throne to Xie Qingyun."

…

A few days later, the early dynasty was restored, and the ministers had their own thoughts, holding the wat board and standing on the Jinluan Palace.

After not seeing him for many days, the emperor was a little haggard, with black green under his eyes, and he looked very depressed.

After the courtiers paid their respects, the emperor pressed his hand down, coughed lightly, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, these days, cough, these days I suddenly became seriously ill, and I couldn't even get off the bed. My illness is very recurrent, I can't handle government affairs, and I am getting old, and it's time to abdicate. ”

The courtiers didn't dare to take the emperor's words, and knelt down and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live—"

Someone said: "Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he will definitely be able to take a step forward in receiving big gold!" ”

The emperor looked at the expressions on the faces of these ministers, and his heart did not fluctuate, and secretly said that they were hypocritical old fellows.

"I've made up my mind. I am old and determined to retreat into the background. As for whom—"

The emperor took a big breath, "Prince Chen has always helped me deal with the government affairs, clean up the court, and benefit the people. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch beside him stepped forward, took out an edict from his sleeve, and began to read it aloud.

The edict is the emperor's edict of succession, and the emperor passes the throne to Prince Chen.

Immediately after the edict was read, people stood up one after another and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, think twice! ”

"Your Majesty, although Prince Chen must be personally responsible and conscientious, but Prince Chen is now broken and not perfect, how can he inherit the unification!"

"Your Majesty thinks twice, if Your Majesty passes on the throne to Prince Chen, the world will definitely criticize the emperor of Dajin, who is a person who has lost his legs, and then where will my Dajin face be! Your Majesty, please think again! ”

The emperor knew the truth, and he looked at the people in front of him who were holding on to this point and were still complacent, and there was a kind of amusement that everyone was drunk and I was sober.

He said: "There are few heirs under my knees, only three sons, one has died, and the other has been demoted to a commoner. How many Aiqing want me to choose a son from the clan to inherit the throne? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the next emperor must be selected from His Majesty's sons and sons."

A minister with an iron head said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Yue and Xie Hexi are young and frivolous, although they have made mistakes, they are really not degraded to commoners. Moreover, Xie Hexi has always been carefully taught by His Majesty, and with Prince Chen by his side at that time, he will definitely be able to govern Dajin in an orderly manner......"

The emperor did not speak for a long time, and the minister sweated profusely, lying on the ground and asking for help from several colleagues with his eyes, but none of them paid attention to him.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout above his head: "Bastard! ”

The minister's body trembled.

The emperor's face was red and his ears were red. "It was I who personally issued an edict to depose the king of Yuejun. The sins committed by the king of Yue Jun are unforgivable! That's more than 5,000 lives! You asked me to forgive him so high-soundingly, and let me pass on the throne to him! It just doesn't make sense! ”

"The emperor spares his life! Emperor! The minister didn't mean that, Your Majesty! ”

"Someone!"

Outside the door, the Imperial Forest Army walked into the hall.

The Emperor shouted, "Take him down to me and behead him immediately!" ”

The man cried a handful of snot and tears, and soon after he went out, he soon stopped moving.

The rest of the people's hairs stood on end, and only then did they begin to regret it.

The emperor relented and said, "I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say any more." ”

He looked at Xie Qingyun, who had been silent, and said, "Yun'er, come forward to accept the order." ”

The people on Xie Hexi's side were like ashes on all sides, knowing that they couldn't turn things around.

But it's okay, an emperor with a waste leg can't sit on the throne after all.

If Xie Hexi took the opportunity to raise troops and return to Beijing with the point of abandoning his legs, and rebelled under the reputation of the Qing monarch, he could also be a fig leaf for rebellion.

They were thinking about the beauty, but as soon as they raised their heads suddenly, the expression on their faces froze, and the shock was mixed with the smug contempt that they didn't hold back, which was very ridiculous.

There was an uproar in the court, and Rao is Xie Qingyun's people were also stupid.

They were still having a headache about how to help Xie Qingyun's round legs, but they didn't expect that Xie Qingyun's legs were already healed!

Seeing him strolling leisurely to the foot of the golden steps, he bowed his head slightly, and took the holy decree from the eunuch's hand.

A large number of people knelt in the middle of the court, and the people who supported Xie Qingyun straightened their waists, and shouted out the worship of long live with the momentum of a mountain and a tsunami.

No one cared about those unlucky people with pale faces.

…

The news of Xie Qingyun's ascension to the throne was like wings, and it soon spread throughout the capital.

Originally, the people still had complaints about his broken leg, but as soon as they heard about it, in fact, Xie Qingyun's leg was healed very early, and he muttered no more.

Xie Qingyun's only flaw was filled, and the things he had done before were magnified.

The emperor's country originally relied on Xie Qingyun to sit, and Xie Qingyun's exploits can be said to be the same for three days and three nights.

Such an excellent emperor has ascended the throne, and the people can not be happy.

Red silk hung high in the city, and the people were happy for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

But in the Shen Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Shen had a sad face after receiving the news.
