In the midst of the Imperial Castle of Kyoto.

Father-in-law Lu lowered his head and walked hurriedly.

He stepped over the threshold of the Sheng Tian Hall and quickly entered the imperial study.

Emperor Lihuang lay on the soft collapse in the imperial study, his eyes closed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep, but his old face was a little more haggard and decayed.

Gonggong Lu glanced at the group of little eunuchs in the study, waved his hand, and motioned for them to retreat.

As the group of little eunuchs left, Gonggong Lu came to the side of the soft collapse and called softly: "Your Majesty! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"Hmm!"

Lihuang's heavy eyelids twitched slightly, and his shriveled lips opened slightly, making a slight sound.

There was silence in the study for a long time before Emperor Li slowly opened his eyes.

"Say!"

"King Shou, King Ping, King An, King Ning and other princes are waiting outside the city gate, wanting to ask to see Your Majesty!" Lu Gong is fair.

It was quiet in the study.

Only Father-in-law Lu's somewhat heavy tone remained, which made the atmosphere in the study a little depressing.

After Gonggong Lu finished speaking, he looked up at the groggy Lihuang, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Since half a month ago, Lihuang's health has become worse and worse, and now, Lihuang's body has reached the point of dying.

Five days ago, Emperor Li fainted in the morning, and the entire court was startled.

Nearing one’s end.

Faced with such a situation, the reaction in the court was extremely violent.

The civil and military ministers were all nervous, and the forbidden troops inside and outside Kyoto were on alert, and the happiest ones were naturally those princes.

"Let Yanzhen and Li Xun come to see me!" Lihuang's voice is like a mosquito's chirp, subtle and indecent.

Gonggong Lu only heard the names of Yan Zhen and Li Xun, but he already understood what Emperor Li meant.

"The old slave obeys!"

He bowed down and exited the study, then hurried away.

……

Outside the Imperial City.

Not only a few princes, but also a number of court ministers were all blocked outside the city gate.

The gate of the imperial city was closed, and only one side gate was open, but there were dense Tianwu guards on duty above and below the city wall.

A group of officials whispered outside the door, King Ping, King An, and King Ning stood on one side, looking at the nose and nose, looking at the heart, and the haggard face of King Shou stood in front of everyone, looking at the open side door.

King Shou is the third son of the emperor, and he is the commander of the Zongren Mansion of the Dynasty, and his character is pure and good, and he has no heart to fight.

The crown prince died, the second son died early, and now the prince is the eldest among the princes.

King Shou was a little upset by the whispering of the officials behind him, and couldn't help coughing lightly, and the people around him immediately shut up, but the people in the distance were still whispering.

King Shou didn't bother to care about them, just stood in the cold wind with his hands together, looking at the open side door.

Since Emperor Lihuang fainted in the early dynasty, they haven't seen Emperor Lihuang for five days.

They waited outside the city gate every day for Emperor Li's summons, but until now Emperor Lihuang has not summoned anyone.

Suddenly, Father-in-law Lu walked out of the side door.

Suddenly, everyone's hearts suddenly lifted.

King Shou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law Lu, how is Your Majesty?" ”

Father-in-law Lu pulled a hoarse voice and said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, you princes don't need to worry, you princes should disperse, if Your Majesty has a summons, the old slave will arrange someone to invite you princes." ”

"This!" King Shou said with some hesitation: "Can the king of this book meet Your Majesty!" ”

He was a little worried.

Although he had no intention of competing for the throne, he did not want the court to fall into turmoil.

He still hopes to do his part for the Dali court.

And King Ping and King An behind him bowed their heads and were silent, at this time they naturally couldn't show too much, maybe they were secretly laughing in their hearts, but they still had to maintain a worried and panicked appearance on the surface.

Gonggong Lu shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty summoned Old Master Yan and Master Li Xun, you princes should go back first, the old slave still has to go to Qingfu Mountain." ”

With that, he bowed to everyone, and then hurried towards Qingfu Mountain.

King Shou glanced at King Ping and King An, sighed deeply, and then said loudly: "It's all gone!" ”

Then everyone left.

……

A moment later.

Yan Zhen and Li Xun followed Gonggong Lu to the imperial study.

Entering the study, Yan Zhen and Li Xun looked at Lihuang lying on the bed and couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The two bowed.

Emperor Li opened his cloudy eyes and said in a subtle voice, "Help me up!" ”

Father-in-law Lu hurriedly stepped forward, helped his thin body up, and let him lean on the soft collapse.

Just the act of sitting up made Emperor Lihuang gasp violently.

"Your Majesty, take good care of the dragon body!" Li Xun said with some concern.

The corners of Lihuang's mouth pulled out an ugly smile, "Hey, I'm not a martial artist, I'm not as good as you!" ”

"The old minister believes that His Majesty will get better." Li Xun said.

Emperor Lihuang shook his head, "You don't have to say such nice things to me. ”

There was a look of reminiscence in his eyes, "I remember that when you ascended the throne, you were like this, and now more than forty years later, you are still like this." ”

"To be honest, I regret being this emperor!"

"If I didn't become an emperor, I might be able to become an innate martial artist."

Lihuang's cultivation qualifications are not low, and he can even be said to be a cultivation genius, when he was a teenager, he lived in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for a year, and he showed extraordinary qualifications, and he had a five-grade cultivation at the age of sixteen.

It's a pity that with his ascension to the throne, all his energy was focused on the affairs of the dynasty, and martial arts had long been abolished.

As for him saying that he regretted it!

It's just a matter of talking about it now, if he is given another chance, he will still climb this dragon chair.

"I'm afraid my body won't last long!"

"Who do you think can be the new king?"

Yan Zhen and Li Xun were silent.

Although they are the pillar kingdom of Dali, they are still very cautious when it comes to the issue of succession to the throne.

Emperor Lihuang was not surprised to see that they did not speak.

They have been together for decades and know each other very well.

"The crown prince is my most optimistic son, but unfortunately he died too early!"

Emperor Lihuang said with some regret.

"King Shou is too benevolent, he can only be a free prince, not an emperor. King Ping is a little ruthless, but unfortunately his gaze is too shallow, and he can only see the little interests in front of him. As for King An, he will only play some small tricks and lack the courage that an emperor should have. ”

"I don't seem to have a suitable person among these sons."

There was helplessness in his tone.

As a powerful and wise emperor, he wanted himself to be the perfect heir.

The prince may not be perfect, but it is the most in line with his heart, but unfortunately the prince died young.

Looking back on his reign of more than 40 years, his martial arts and martial arts were extraordinary, far surpassing the emperors of all dynasties except Taizu.

Yan Zhen suddenly raised her head and said softly, "Maybe Your Majesty can consider a few imperial grandsons." ”

"Imperial grandson!"

Emperor Lihuang muttered.

Speaking of the emperor and grandson, the first person that came to his mind was Qin Wei.

In the past year or so, Qin Wei's ability has far exceeded his expectations, and he is also very satisfied.

But soon he shook his head slightly.

Qin Wei is too young!

Although he was very satisfied with Qin Wei's ability, he felt that Qin Wei could not support Da Li.

How can a small town martial division be compared to the entire Dali Dynasty.

Moreover, Qin Wei's background in the court is too shallow, and he has no foundation in Kyoto.

If he is allowed to ascend the throne, it will be difficult for him to convince the public, and it will be difficult for him to grasp the authority of the emperor in the court.

This is Lihuang's impression and attitude towards Qin Wei, in short, he is not optimistic about Qin Wei now.

If he was given another five years, he might try to cultivate Qin Wei, but unfortunately he didn't have time, so he excluded Qin Wei from the beginning and trapped Qin Wei in Shuzhou, hoping that Qin Wei would not get involved in the affairs of the court.

Emperor Li looked at Yan Zhen, "Master seems to have a good candidate?" ”

Yan Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "Lao Chen has no good candidates!" ”

He really didn't have a good candidate, after all, he didn't have much intersection with these princes and grandsons in the court.

Emperor Lihuang looked at him, stunned, and said, "That's it, let's think about it again." ”

"I'm running out of time, and there are some things that must be resolved as soon as possible."

"The matter in Yunzhou is almost over, you can see how it is solved."

Yan Zhen and Li Xun bowed down and responded: "The old minister obeys!" ”

"Go ahead!"

Emperor Lihuang raised his hand with difficulty, signaling that they could stand down.

Yan Zhen and Li Xun retired, and when they left, Lu Gonggong came over with a bowl of medicinal soup.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine!"

Emperor Li looked at the turbid medicinal soup and asked with a somewhat lonely expression: "How many longevity pills are left!" ”

"Three!"

"Three, six months, Lan Yuehou is really accurate!" Emperor Lihuang said helplessly.

With a bowl of medicinal soup, Lihuang's face became slightly better-looking, and his breath became a lot calmer.

"After I fainted, what movement did I have in the court?"

Father-in-law Lu said in a low voice: "You princes are quite honest. ”

Emperor Lihuang actually showed a look of disappointment when he heard this.

That's right, it's disappointment.

He all fell, and the princes still didn't dare to make any moves, which really disappointed him.

Now he hoped that someone would storm the imperial city and pull him, the emperor, from the throne.

Dare to do this, whether it is successful or not, at least it can show that the person who comes has strong courage and ability.

Such a person is more qualified to become an emperor.

It's a pity that several princes are too cautious and have lost their courage cautiously.

"You can watch and handle the things in the imperial city!"

Emperor Lihuang threw down a sentence and fell into a coma again.

Gonggong Lu quietly withdrew from the imperial study and arranged for hundreds of Tianwu guards to guard outside the gate of the Shengtian Palace.

……

Danlian Mansion City.

Qin Wei sat on the pavilion and looked at the letter sent by Shi Luan.

His face was stagnant.

Emperor Lihuang fainted in the early court, and when the news spread, the entire glass would shake.

Regardless of whether the Lihuang Emperor really runs out of oil and the lamp is dry, there will inevitably be a shock in the world.

"Is there any other news from Kyoto?"

"Nope!" Shi Luan shook his head.

Qin Wei stood up and paced back and forth in the pavilion.

Emperor Lihuang fainted, indicating that the battle for the new emperor of Dali was about to begin.

Since the death of the crown prince, there has been an undercurrent in the Dali court, King Ping, King An, and King Ning are constantly fighting in the court, and even Qin Weiyuan is in Shuzhou, so they are involved, not to mention the ministers above the court.

It's just that Lihuang has always been very strong, so their battle is limited to a certain range.

But now that Emperor Lihuang is dying, they are afraid that they will no longer be able to be silent.

It is conceivable that the next battle in the court will enter the most intense stage, and the entire Dali will fall into turmoil.

"Is there calm before the storm?"

Qin Wei took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and then sat on the chair with his eyes slightly closed.

After a few months of development and growth, the strength of Luowang has improved a lot, and both the intelligence system and the strength of the killer have reached a very strong point.

In terms of intelligence, as long as the information in Da Li is not too secret, Qin Wei can almost know it in a short period of time.

In terms of strength, there are currently eight nine-rank martial artists in Luowang, as long as they are not facing innate powerhouses, Luowang is not afraid of anyone.

"Let Zhao Gao go to Kyoto!"

Qin Wei suddenly spoke.

Shi Luan didn't hesitate and responded directly.

The situation in the court is changing, Qin Wei is far away in Shuzhou, and he can't understand the changes in the situation in the court at the first time, and he can't respond in a short time.

Although he has a lot of pawn characters in Kyoto, he still seems very weak.

Zhuge Zheng and I are too decent to do some insidious things, there is no problem with letting him take charge of the Zhenwu Division, but it is definitely not okay to let him play intrigue with the people in the court.

Ye Gucheng only likes swordsmanship, Wang Shouren does not have any official position, his status is not high enough, Cao Zhengchun joined the receiver again, and he is still in Shuzhou.

After doing the math, Qin Wei found that he didn't have a suitable person in Kyoto to deal with the battle in the court.

So he had to send Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao had a sense of the overall situation, and was insidious and cunning, and it was most suitable to go to Kyoto to replace Qin Wei to intervene in the affairs of the court.

"Over there, you take over for the time being, focusing on Kyoto and Nanyang City."

Qin Wei continued to command.

"Whoa!" Shi Luan answered again.

Qin Wei waved his hand, signaling that she could go down, and Shi Luan retreated.

Sitting in the pavilion, Qin Wei's mind was immersed in the Yitian chessboard.

At this time, it has been more than half a year since the last summoning of Zhao Gao, Shen Wansan and Li Shizhen, and in the past half a year, because Qin Wei has lost the official position of the Zhenwu Division, the momentum on the Yitian chessboard has grown slowly, but it has also accumulated a lot of momentum.

At this time, there are more than 13,000 wisps of momentum on the Yitian chessboard, and there are still a few hundred wisps of momentum qi left to transform a chess piece character with innate cultivation again.

A few hundred wisps of momentum can be saved in just a few days.

Qin Wei withdrew from the Yitian chessboard and waited with peace of mind.

A few days were not a long time and passed quickly.

"The troubled times are about to begin, Grandpa Huang, when do you have to wait?"

Qin Wei's eyes looked through the window, looking at the beautiful Danlian Mansion City, but his thoughts had already drifted to the Imperial City of Kyoto.

"Do you really want to watch Dali fall into chaos!"
