Chapter 311: A Happy Ending
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Zhao Gaowei was condescending, looking at the haggard old emperor with a smile.
"It's the first time I've seen such an embarrassed side of the imperial brother after many years."
Suddenly, his eyes became fierce and resolute.
"Do you remember? When you killed my wife, the eyes that defied the world made my wife die and die."
The more Zhao Gaowei spoke, the more excited he became, and he grabbed the emperor's neckline tightly and swayed wildly.
On the side, Gonggong Shi and the imperial doctor watched coldly, as if they hadn't seen it.
The old emperor was extremely smart, looking at the smiles on the faces of Gonggong Shi and the imperial doctor, how could he not understand?
These two people had already betrayed him and joined Zhao Gaowei's command.
The old emperor was suddenly furious, his face turned red, and he wanted to condemn Gonggong Shi, but he couldn't speak anyway, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he could only watch them insult him.
"Brother Huang, you have to take a good look in the sky to see how your great mountains and rivers became my Zhao Gaowei."
Zhao Gaowei smiled proudly, looking at the people who were high up in the past and letting him bully, there was a kind of unexplained happiness in his heart.
Just because of the difference between monarchs and ministers, with the identity of the emperor, more than ten years ago, I watched his beloved wife die in front of him, and it was a corpse with two lives.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Gaowei burst into tears.
"More than ten years, more than ten years! Do you know how I spent it? In order to avenge my wife and children, I endured humiliation and developed in Lingnan for this day."
The old emperor lay on the bed and couldn't move, so he could only listen.
But he was angry in his heart, he couldn't do anything when he was alive, and the old emperor kept opening his mouth, trying to struggle in vain, wanting to make a sound.
Gonggong Shi said with a sharp voice on the side: "Your Majesty, the old slave advises you, don't do useless struggles, I told you before, although that medicine cures headaches, but the side effects are extremely great, and you will become a dumb person, even if you shout through your throat, it is absolutely impossible to make a sound."
The smile on Gonggong Shi's face reached the bottom of his eyes, looking at the dragon body that was high in the past, being trampled by their gang wantonly, and he was in a very happy mood.
At the same time, outside the emperor's bedroom, there were a lot of people waiting.
The queen led the concubines to turn around worriedly, but without the emperor's dictation, they couldn't go in, so they could only do it outside in a hurry.
The concubine looked at the anxious queen with a pale face, and her tone was anxious.
"Half a month ago, Your Majesty was still old and strong, but how did you suddenly become critically ill in just half a month?"
The noble concubine who spoke was favored during this time, and she also had a true relationship with the old emperor, but now that the old emperor was critically ill, she suddenly became worried.
The queen didn't like this kind of fox girl who was on the throne very much, so she glanced at the concubine in disgust and said indifferently.
"What's the use of asking this palace, in the past few days, Your Majesty has not seen anyone, and has been stopped by Gonggong Shi all the time, and even this palace has not yet learned about Your Majesty's situation, how can I solve your doubts?"
The concubine didn't get the answer she wanted, and immediately wiped her tears and cried again, crying breathlessly.
The second followed by the princes and princesses on the other side, whether they were really sad or fake sad, they still had to do some superficial work, all of them were sad and tearful.
On the contrary, the prince behaved more normally, although he burst into tears, he had not yet shouted.
is sad on the surface, but in fact the heart is happy.
The old immortal finally died, he had waited for so many years, and his dream of becoming an emperor was about to come true.
At that time, he will be the most noble man in the world, and he will no longer worry about protecting his position all day.
Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao stood on the edge wearing human skin masks, but they could see the expressions of the people present.
Soon, Zhao Gaowei walked out of the emperor's bedroom, his eyes were red, and his whole body exuded sadness.
As soon as Zhao Gaowei came out, a large number of people greeted him, most of whom asked about the emperor's situation.
Gonggong Shi's eyes met, and he asked the concubines to go in to see the emperor.
But the old emperor's performance really disappointed everyone, no matter how much the concubines cared about greetings, the old emperor had not said a word from beginning to end.
After confirming that he couldn't make a sound, and couldn't raise his strength, the old emperor completely gave up the struggle and turned his back to everyone.
It seems that they have run out of energy, and no matter how much they struggle, it will be in vain.
Even the question of succession, which the princes are most concerned about, has not yet been answered.
Everyone left the emperor's dormitory with a cold face.
"Brother Prince, you can put a hundred hearts, now that you are firmly seated as the crown prince, no matter what, this position will be passed on to your hands, even if the father has not said anything, we all have a bottom in our hearts."
The group of princes who were friendly with the prince flattered each other.
The prince pursed his lips, and for some reason, his intuition told him that he had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and he always felt as if something big was about to happen, but he couldn't say that feeling.
And Zhao Gaowei, who was on the side, was sad from beginning to end.
At the next moment, Gonggong Shi rushed out of the dormitory, with a sad look on his face, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty."
"Hum—"
As soon as the words fell, the alarm bell hanging in the palace suddenly rang, making a loud buzzing sound.
Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
After disposing of the old emperor's body, Gonggong Shi began to read the holy decree.
The previously favored concubines, except for the queen, were buried with the emperor, and the princes also had new fiefs, but they were all transferred far away from the capital.
Even the current crown prince was completely deposed on the day of the death of the old emperor.
When the prince heard this, his face was desperate, and he staggered back several steps, and fell to the ground without standing firmly.
Now that the prince has lost power, the group of people who had been friends with the prince before suddenly watched coldly, and no one stepped forward to help.
Some people are happy, some people are worried.
The good thing is that there is no need to accompany the funeral, and there is also a fief to take, and the worrying thing is to accompany the emperor to the funeral.
In an instant, there was a wail in the palace.
The next thing is to pass on the throne, and everyone didn't expect that the throne would be passed to a king with the lowest strength, Pan.
Everyone was suddenly shocked, obviously not believing what Gonggong Shi said.
The queen looked at Gonggong Shi coldly with a cold face, and asked coldly.
"Father-in-law, didn't you read it wrong, Your Majesty didn't pass on the throne to his own flesh and blood, why did he pass it on to a King Pan who couldn't be on the stage?"
In the end, Gonggong Shi served the two emperors, and in the face of the queen's questioning, his face did not change, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said.
"Didn't the queen suspect that the old slave deliberately covered up? If you really don't believe the decree read by the old slave, the queen can personally check whether it is your majesty's handwriting."
As he spoke, he handed the decree to the queen.
The queen glanced at Gonggong Shi suspiciously, and took the holy decree.
The queen and the emperor have known each other for decades, so they naturally know the emperor's handwriting, which is indeed His Majesty's handwriting, and it is also covered with a jade seal, and there is no half-sentence.
Everyone stared at the queen expectantly, as if they wanted to verify something?
But the queen closed her eyes and passed the Holy Son to the group of old ministers, looking at them one by one.
There is no doubt about the handwriting, and it is indeed the location that has been passed to Zhao Gaowei.
When the prince heard this, he immediately went crazy, laughed madly, and his eyes were full of madness.
"Hahahaha, I am the future king, I am the most precious man in the world! How can a small king be worthy of taking over the throne."
As he spoke, he frantically threw himself at the Divine Decree.
Gonggong Shi pointed his throat and cocked his orchid fingers.
"Why don't you hurry up and take down the waste prince?"
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army was quick to catch the prince and crush him to the ground.
There is no doubt about the holy decree, and what is shocking is that the current prime minister actually bears the brunt of supporting Zhao Gaowei.
"The country cannot be without a king for a day, the old minister sees Your Majesty, long live the emperor, long live long live."
With today's prime minister as the leader, those old ministers who are in the same vein as the emperor have also followed suit.
Even if there were still some princes who didn't believe that they wanted to make trouble, they were still fiercely suppressed by the Imperial Forest Army.
The date of Zhao Gaowei's accession to the throne was chosen seven days later.
The old emperor was buried, and the concubines also had to be buried.
Some did not want to bury the old emperor at a young age, and secretly wanted to leave the palace overnight, but they were caught red-handed, assassinated on the spot, and arranged into the funeral coffin prepared for the old emperor.
With the lessons of the past, who would dare to sneak out of the palace and escape?
Some concubines have lost their former luxury, and even whispered to please the eunuchs who guarded them, in order to be able to survive and save their lives.
However, the eunuch didn't eat this set at all.
Otherwise, Gonggong Shi had already ordered that no one should help those concubines of the former emperor, otherwise there would be no forgiveness.
With the support of the old prime minister and the Imperial Forest Army, Zhao Gaowei smoothly ascended the throne.
The first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to remove Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao from being criminals, and promoted Xie Yunshu to the current prime minister.
The previous old prime minister knew that he was old, so he took the initiative to abdicate and make way for Xian, and told the old ministers to assist Xie Yunshu well in today's sainthood.
And Ye Hao also became the wife of the prime minister, and even broke a precedent for Ye Hao, Ye Hao was named the princess of Chaoyang, and was given a mansion, as well as thousands of taels of gold and silver.
In just half a month, Xie Yunshu was in the limelight, solved a lot of headaches for Zhao Gaowei, and conquered the group of self-esteemed old ministers with his own strength.
They all said that Xie Yunshu inherited his father's mantle and was very smart.
Ye Zhen used the identity of the prime minister's wife and princess to solve the group of people who bullied her before for the original owner.
Three years later, Ye Hao gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Xie Yunshu, and on the day of the birth of the dragon and phoenix fetus, colorful auspicious clouds and hundreds of birds and phoenixes are a sign of good fortune.
Zhao Gaowei was overjoyed, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person, giving gifts and titles, and said that he would be present in person at the full moon banquet.
In just a few years, Xie Yunshu has become Zhao Gaoshu's right-hand man, and Zhao Gaoshu has always been convinced of what Xie Yunshu said, and has never doubted it.
And Zhao Gaowei also lived up to expectations and became a generation of Mingjun, under his control, the country's development became more and more prosperous, and he was called a generation of Mingjun by the people.
I don't know how many times better than the previous mediocre old emperor, solved the problem of wasteland, so that the displaced refugees have a place to stay, and last time they also let them advance the fields in advance, grow grain, and when the harvest comes, they will make up for the money they owe before.
Xie Yunshu took advantage of the convenience of today's prime minister to find out what happened back then and returned his father's innocence.
