Not long after, Shang Honghai led the queen mother and the queen to the emperor's bed, and the two couldn't help crying.

Seeing this, the ministers looked at each other, and Yang Zhengtai was about to speak, but he heard Li Zhengshan say: "Your Majesty has collapsed, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother must take care of your health, Your Majesty has a testament in your hand, we haven't checked it yet, Chief Shang, please read Your Majesty's edict." ”

It turned out that although Li Chengyou died, everyone put a testament in their hands when they came in, but because the queen mother and queen were not present, everyone did not check it. was held in the hands of Li Zhengshan.

Shang Honghai took the edict, opened it tremblingly, and read softly:

I Li Chengyou, at the age of 30, started the army, first broke Dafeng, then attacked Chu Yue, fought Bashu, Pingjin Yu, soldiers to Yanliao, fifteen years of campaigns, hundreds of large and small battles, the front of the soldiers, the enemy is all broken.

At the age of forty-five, he has achieved great things, his heart is happy, and he has no regrets even if he dies.

However, it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to rule the world.

The daily briefing is not full of annoyance.

Thinking about it day and night, I have made up my mind, and I will take medicine to ascend to immortality, which is worthy of a fast life.

The throne of unification is destined to sit, and such things are consciously decided.

Handwritten by Emperor Dacheng Li Chengyou. The first day of the ninth month of the tenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty.

Shang Honghai read it, everyone present was dumbfounded, Li Zhengshan took the edict, carefully checked, the handwriting is correct, the tone is similar, especially the last seal, that is Li Chengyou's personal seal, the jade engraved seal is Li Chengyou's childhood sweetheart and wife Shi Yuhuan gifted, since the disappearance of Shi Yuhuan in the war, Li Chengyou is a personal collection of this seal, easy not to show outsiders.

Li Zhengshan bowed his head in a dejected manner, and the rest of the ministers took turns to watch, and they were speechless after reading it.

Wang Enru stepped forward and said: "This Your Majesty's handwriting is good, but Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he has worked hard since he ascended the throne, and it is impossible to make such a decision. ”

Everyone naturally understood in their hearts, if this edict was published to the public, it would have too much impact, and a generation of male lords would commit suicide by poisoning because they did not want to read the briefing? The edict does not leave a successor, so that the destined person inherits the throne? It's a joke that no one has ever seen before.

The ministers were silent.

Li Zhengshan said with a straight face: "Your Majesty was harmed by a traitor, and he left this false edict to kill people and punish his heart, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" But the country can not be left without an owner for a day, the queen mother and the queen can take the two princes back to the palace first, and they will return to the Daming Palace with the ministers to discuss the succession. ”

Let's take a step forward. The Queen Mother glanced at the queen and the two princes, and said to Li Jian: "Child, go back with your grandmother." Li Jian nodded in agreement, bid farewell to the queen, and went with the queen mother.

But said that the emperor Li Chengyou, although he was a great treasure, but only had two women in his life, one was Shi Yuhuan, a childhood sweetheart, gave birth to a son Li Jian, did not want to be unfortunately separated in the battle, so far no one has been born, no body has been seen in death, ten years on the throne, Li Chengyou has not given up the search, but there has been no news, I wanted to canonize Shi Yuhuan as the queen this winter, according to the queen's regulations to build a crown of clothes, but unfortunately it has not been implemented, but it was tragically poisoned.

Today's queen is in the late stage of the war, married Yang Shuxin of Li Chengyou, and gave birth to a son Li Zhi, who was born in the Yang family of Sanchuan County, and is a well-known local family. Yang Shuxin's father is Yang Zhengtai, the prime minister of the current dynasty.

But he said that the ministers returned to the palace, and they didn't mention it for the time being.

Li Jian followed his grandmother back to the Wanshou Palace, and as soon as he sat down, Li Jian fell to his knees with a puff and cried on the ground: "Grandmother, save the child's life." ”

The Queen Mother was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled Li Jian up, wiped Li Jian's tears, and asked everyone to leave the room, asking Li Jian: "Child, why do you say this?" ”

Li Zhi looked at the queen mother and said: "Grandmother, my father once said to my grandson in private, a hundred years later, pass the throne to the child, it is exactly like this, the father let the child lead the army alone at the age of twenty, and at the age of thirty, he participated in the management of Dacheng City and participated in the affairs of Jiuqing. ”

When the queen mother heard this, she hurriedly asked: "Your mother has not been canonized yet, this time Wenchen will support your second brother to the throne, but Li Zhengshan and Han Tai and other military generals will support you, even if your second brother is on the throne, how can there be a disaster of killing your brother if you come to peace quickly?" ”

"Grandmother, it is my prestige among the generals that has killed me so far. And today's court, Li Zhengshan and Han Zhen will not necessarily support me. ”

"Li Zhengshan is a lieutenant, his father's uncle, and the pillar of my Li family, but the second brother is also the blood of the Li family, Han Zhen is the old general of the father's emperor, and I have a good relationship, if my father and the emperor decree, General Han will fight to the death to support me, but now there is no edict, the second brother is also the son of the first emperor, if Li Zhengshan supports the second brother, Han Zhen will not be able to say much."

"Yang Zhengtai is the prime minister of the dynasty, the tree has deep roots, and the Cui clan of Qinghe, where the imperial historian Cui Chang is located, has many grievances with Shanggu County under the jurisdiction of my uncle, and he will definitely not support me this time."

"That Wang Enru is even more respectful of Lichang, my mother has not yet been canonized, and it will not work for him."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother said hurriedly, "Child, even so, where does the disaster come from?" ”

"Grandmother, I have been in the military camp for ten years, and the generals have always had a friendship with me, if I don't ascend to the throne, the queen has always been suspicious, if I stay in Dacheng City, I will not be allowed, and I will definitely harm me in the future!" Tears flowed down his face.

"It's not a pity for me to die, but the generals are from many cloth clothes, my father was framed, I suddenly die, I am afraid that the generals will be unsettled, and there will be a disaster of swords, the country is the brainchild of the father, the child can't bear to see the people displaced, the world is in chaos."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly realized: "Child, how can I save you?" ”

"Now Daming Palace and Dacheng City have been sealed, no one is allowed to enter or exit, grandmother can send someone to recruit Huang Tong to Wanshou Palace, the father has a life-saving grace to Huang Tong, the child and Huang Tong also have a comradeship, Huang Tong was the first general under my uncle, loyal and brave, he will be able to take the child out of danger, the child first went to Shanggu County to go to his uncle, the uncle is now leading the Shanggu County guard, in charge of Yuyang, to be succeeded by the second brother, grandmother can ask Li Zhengshan for an edict, seal the child for Yuyang County Guard, the child does not want to set foot in Dacheng City again in this life, only willing to resist foreign people, Guarding Yuyang, living up to the grace of his father's cultivation. ”

After that, Li Jian kowtowed and wept.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly ordered someone to invite Huang Tong.

However, he said that Huang Tong was listening to the quarrel of the ministers outside the Daming Palace, and when he saw that the Queen Mother was in a hurry, he hurriedly instructed the left and right, and went quickly.

Let's not talk about the matter of the eldest prince for the time being, let's talk about the Dacheng Palace.

The ministers returned to the Dacheng Palace, and the ministers were instantly quiet, waiting for several ministers to speak.

Li Zhengshan said loudly: "Your Majesty's old illness relapsed, died in a hurry, the Queen Mother and the Queen and the two princes have all been checked, I and the left and right Prime Minister General Han and Lord Hu and several imperial doctors also stepped forward to see, Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, but unfortunately for many years, there are too many secret injuries, it is really the will of God, you don't have to guess too much." ”

"However, the country cannot be without an owner for a day, the world cannot be without a king for a day, Your Majesty has no edict to leave behind, the two princes are the blood of Your Majesty, and the ministers will discuss which prince will inherit the great treasure."

After Li Zhengshan finished speaking, the audience was silent.

"What's so up to deal with that? Of course, it is the eldest prince who inherits the throne! After a moment of silence, I saw one of the generals walking out, eight feet tall, with a broad face and a thick back, it was one of the six rotating generals of the Taiwei Mansion, the butcher was fierce. War Lie this person, born a high force, parents died early, since childhood wandering for a living, and later saw that the soldier can eat enough, so he lied about his age, enlisted in the army, all the way to the kill, tired to the military marquis, do not take prisoners in every battle, will slaughter the enemy clean, people sent the nickname butcher, Li Chengyou heard about it, personally summoned, read his brave loyalty, give the word war as the surname, since then to the name of the war martyr.

"The eldest prince has a generous character, wisdom and bravery, and he led the army at the age of twenty, and he is the most qualified to inherit the throne!" Zhan Lie stood tall and stood proudly.

After Zhan Lie finished speaking, all the generals echoed him, and the hall was disturbed for a while.

"If you have any other words, if you have no objection, you will ..... immediately"

"It's not right, it's not right." Before Li Zhengshan finished speaking, he saw an official shouting loudly.

"The prince has a generous character, wisdom and bravery, if he ascends to the great treasure, the people of Dacheng will be happy for a long time, but, since ancient times, the descendants are different, the two princes are born to the current queen, it is the son of the first emperor, the status is noble, although he is underage, but he has been erudite and talented, and his heart is upright.

After the official finished speaking, all the ministers echoed one after another, and for a while, the hall was boiling again.

Li Zhengshan glanced sideways, and this person was Shi Yang Sui, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, I deliberately mentioned the discussion before, it was expected that the military generals would be straight-hearted, and they would definitely exit first, and then make a decision, it was expected that the Yang family would definitely win, but whether it was the eldest prince or the second prince, it was the blood of the Li family after all, whoever sat on the throne was a member of the Li family, and the Yang family jumped again, and the world was also the world of the Li family.

But seeing that the military generals of Wenchen were arguing endlessly in the main hall, if it weren't for the fact that the generals didn't bring swords today, they would have to die and die, and flesh and blood would fly.
