Chapter 543: Under One Man, Above Ten Thousand People
Only Leng Yu and Luo Lan are left here, as well as the people of Yuwangfu.
Liu Xi took two steps forward, bowed and said:
"Lord Yu, Princess Yu, the emperor invites the two of you to go in, you two please."
After Leng Yu and Luo Lan glanced at each other, they nodded, followed Liu Xi, and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The emperor was squinting slightly and napping, the sound of footsteps came, he slowly opened his eyes, trying to support himself, Liu Xi wanted to step forward quickly to help him, but his foot injury was not healed, and he didn't dare to walk quickly.
Seeing this, Leng Yu stepped forward quickly and helped the emperor sit up.
When the emperor saw Leng Yu, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. 、
After Leng Yu took a cushion from the end of the bed and put it on him, he took a few steps back, bowed down and clenched his fists,
"Father, Gonggong Liu said that your name is Erchen?"
"Well, Yu'er, are you back? How is the handling of the victims? What happened during this time, Liu Xidu told me, it really hurt you. ”
"Father, this is what the sons should do, the ministers over there have ordered Ah Yu and Ah Hou to deal with it in person, this time caused a large number of victims to flock to the capital, it is the dereliction of duty of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the sons want to govern well, dismissed several officials, and made an exception to canonize a county called Lin Dong as the history of assassination, because you were in a coma at the time, the sons and daughters made the decisions in private, if there is something wrong, I hope that the father will correct it, and the sons will change it in time."
"Well, since Liu Xi asked you to handle the government affairs on your behalf, you naturally have the right, you don't have to change it, you did a good job, your father always treated you wrongly before, you didn't hold a grudge against your father!"
"Erchen doesn't dare, my father has always been the heaven in Erchen's heart, and Erchen doesn't dare to hold a grudge against you."
The emperor nodded weakly,
"Whether you hold a grudge against me or not, I want to tell you today, after this serious illness, I have figured out a lot of things, I am tired, I am no longer able to deal with state affairs, I think, this throne, let you do it!"
The emperor's words made Leng Yu frown, and also made Luo Lan a little surprised.
"Father, your body is gradually recovering, and it has not yet reached the point where you need to give way to the throne, besides...... Besides, the sons were not prepared, and they hoped that their father would take back their orders. ”
Seeing Leng Yu's concession, the emperor was a little surprised, this throne, others couldn't ask for it, but he refused to do it, which really puzzled him.
"I think about it, among my sons, you are the only one who is suitable for this throne, but you refuse to do it, I don't understand, why is this?"
"Erchen thinks that you are in good health, and it is too early to abdicate now......"
Although Leng Yu didn't say it directly, Luo Lan knew his thoughts, he just didn't want to confine himself in this palace too early, and he didn't want to live that kind of intrigue every day, he liked a peaceful life like himself.
If one day he had to do it, he would accept the throne, but not now.
Thinking of this, she stepped forward and said:
"Father, your body will gradually return to normal within half a year, and after that, if you take good care of your body, it will return to the same as before, why are you in a hurry to give up the throne?"
Luo Lan's words made the emperor's eyes flash with an expectant look, he looked at her and asked urgently:
"Will my body really return to normal?"
"Really, as long as the emperor no longer touches things that shouldn't be touched, pay more attention to moderation in life."
Luo Lan wanted to remind him not to have such a dull idea of immortality, otherwise, Leng Xi and Concubine Li would not have taken advantage of this loophole.
The emperor nodded as if he didn't know why,
"Well, my illness this time is inexplicable, there are many things I don't remember, if I can really recover from this serious illness after the first recovery, I will definitely reward you."
After that, he looked at Leng Yu again,
"Yu'er, after this incident, Liu Xi has a high opinion of you, since you are unwilling to take over the throne, then I will canonize you as the regent of Daning Kingdom, under one person, under ten thousand people, the big and small affairs of the court, you will handle it on my behalf, go to the court on behalf of me, review and review on behalf of me, some things, you can make a decision directly without going through me, are you willing to share your worries for me?"
This......
Leng Yu frowned suddenly, what is the difference between what this regent does and the emperor?
But the emperor has already said this, what reason does he have to refuse?
So, he clasped his hands into fists, bowed and replied:
"The sons thank their fathers for their love, and the sons and daughters must live up to their mission and share their worries for their fathers."
Seeing Leng Yuying, the emperor nodded a little weakly,
"Well, that's fine, Liu Xi, go back and draw up a holy decree to convey my will."
When it comes to the holy decree, Luo Lan thought of the holy decree she falsely preached, this matter cannot be concealed, if the emperor knows it from other people's mouths one day, according to his suspicious nature, he will inevitably be trapped and angry again, and then it will affect Yuwangfu, it is better for her to take the opportunity to say it.
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes a few times, and then fell to her knees,
"Your Majesty, if your son is at fault, please punish your father."
Her actions made Leng Yu stunned, and the emperor looked at her even more puzzled,
"Princess Yu, what are you doing here? You have merit, but I haven't rewarded you yet, why do you want to punish you? ”
Before Luo Lan could continue, Liu Xi suddenly knelt down,
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Princess Yu, it's the old slave's fault, please ask the emperor to punish the old slave."
Liu Xi's actions made Luo Lan and Leng Yu a little confused, and the emperor looked at him with a surprised face.
"Liu Xi, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xi looked at the emperor, directly put his face on the ground, and replied in a loud voice:
"Before the emperor fell into a coma, he did not issue a holy decree to let Prince Yu have full authority to deal with the affairs in the court, but only passed on the oral edict, which made it very inconvenient for Prince Yu to do things, especially after the disaster occurred, so the old slave asked Princess Yu to pretend to be the emperor to write a holy decree, and secretly took out the emperor's jade seal and stamped it, and passed the holy decree to Prince Yu, asking the emperor to condemn the crime."
Liu Xi's words made Luo Lan stunned for a moment, it turned out that Gonggong Liu had always known that her holy decree was false, but why did he stop this crime?
Seeing this, she hurriedly bowed down and explained,
"Father, this matter has nothing to do with Gonggong Liu, it was done by me alone, I saw that Gonggong was inconvenient, secretly wrote the holy decree, and secretly covered the jade seal, and asked Gonggong Liu to pass the decree in the name of the emperor, all of this is my fault, and I ask my father to condemn me."
"Your Majesty, Princess Yu is excusing the old slave, please let the emperor know."
"Your Majesty, it is Gonggong Liu who accepts the guilt for his sons, please ask my father to investigate ......"
The words of these two people not only surprised the emperor, but Leng Yu was also a little puzzled.
The emperor suddenly held his forehead with one hand and waved his hand helplessly,
"I originally wanted to reward the person who stole this holy decree, but now that the two of you are fighting here, who should I reward?"
Reward?
Liu Xi felt that the emperor must want to use this to find out who was falsely preaching the holy decree, and then blame others.
When Princess Yu preached this false holy decree, he had already thought about it, and when the emperor woke up, he would take the blame for Princess Yu, anyway, he was an old bone, and he was not afraid of the emperor's decree, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Princess Yu took the initiative to speak.
No, he must understand the emperor's intentions, and he must not let Princess Yu get guilty because of this.
Thinking of this, he straightened up and looked at the emperor, and hugged his fists in confusion:
"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't understand what you mean, falsely preaching the holy decree, this is the crime of bullying the king, why doesn't the emperor punish and reward?"
