Three days ago, late at night, it snowed heavily in the capital.

The great eunuch Li Zhongyi was waiting for the emperor to rest in the emperor's bedroom, and he dozed off several times in a row, and suddenly heard a violent cough, and hurriedly called the little eunuch around him to get ginseng soup.

The emperor couldn't stop coughing, the pen on the side fell, and the handkerchief printed on the ground intersected, black and red, and it was terrifying for a moment, and he couldn't breathe, and beckoned Li Zhongyi to come over.

Li Zhongyi took the ginseng soup brought by the little eunuch, brought it to the emperor's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, you can drink some ginseng soup that was cooked just now."

The emperor trembled and took the bowl printed with blue and white inlaid gold edges, and only after taking a sip, he couldn't drink it anymore, spit it out again, waved his hand, and said hoarsely: "You come here", and coughed several times in a row.

Li Zhongyi approached the emperor, only to hear the emperor intermittently say: "Where is the eldest prince?"

Li Zhongyi was shocked when he heard this, cold sweat broke out on his body, and he said in a low voice: "Holy Lord, Your Highness is still in the northwest border, and he has not come back for the Chinese New Year this year."

The emperor was silent for a long time and muttered, "I'm afraid that he will raise an army."

Li Zhongyi trembled, as if he had been hit hard, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Li'er didn't like to read since he was a child, he went to the northwest at the age of sixteen, and was named the king of the northwest at the age of twenty, and now the entire northwest army is in his hands, that is the elite of my Liyang Dynasty, and it is the iron horse that once followed me all over the world, and the tip of the gun is shaken, it is as red as the sunset, and the sky is full of red light, how mighty?"

After a long time, he said: "It's a pity that he has read too few books and doesn't know how to govern the country and secure the country." After saying that, he let out a long sigh.

He said in a low voice: "The second prince, Zhou Bomin, is humble and understands the feelings of the people, if he can inherit the unification, it will definitely be a blessing for the world." There was a burst of heat in his chest, and he couldn't help but interrupt his words and coughed again.

Li Zhongyi knelt on the side and did not dare to speak.

After a long time, the cough was quiet, and I heard the emperor say to himself: "However, the throne cannot be given to him, Li'er led the troops to fight, it must be a great chaos in the world, I only hate that I didn't accept his military power earlier, or too much of a woman's kindness."

After thinking for a while, he called softly: "Li Zhongyi."

"The minions are here".

"In this life, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I don't believe in immortality, I do my best, the car is on the same track, the book is the same, the world is stable, all industries are prosperous, if it is...... If you receive Li'er's military power early, you can go to see the emperor in a beautiful way, but it's a pity that it's ......."

After a long sigh, he suddenly laughed, and then coughed again, and said in a low voice: "But I can't let the ancestors' country fall apart in my hands, if the throne is passed on to the people, Li'er will inevitably raise troops, at that time, how can I go to see the ancestors and ancestors?

After a long time, he said: "Take a pen and write."

Li Zhongyi said in a trembling voice: "What to write?".

"Heh, you've been by my side for most of your life, don't you know? Don't pretend, I know that you are smart-minded, in this court, except for Lin Xiang, there is only you, the palace eunuch Li Zhongyi, if you are not a eunuch, why don't I want you to live in the three provinces, the power of the six departments, take a pen and write."

Li Zhongyi burst into tears, leaned over and picked up the pen from the case, only to hear the emperor whisper: "Fengtian carrier, the first emperor edict, with the northwest king Zhou Boli, immediately enter Beijing, inherit the unification, the second prince Zhou Bomin, the same root and ancestor, Feng Yasheng, his position is only in the emperor Zhou Boli, three bows and six knocks in the middle of the court, called Chitose, Qin this ......", the voice became smaller and smaller, until the last two words, almost only the sound of air flow remained.

After Li Zhongyi finished writing, he turned around to look at the emperor, only to see that the emperor was so angry that he had fallen into a coma, and he had time to pick up a gold seal and cover it, crying and shouting, and crawled to the door of the palace and shouted: "Pass ...... Passed on the Tai Doctor ......".

Turning around and carrying the emperor to the dragon bed, after cleaning up the things here, he suddenly looked down and saw the edict, his heart was suddenly knocked by something, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, looked back at the emperor, stretched out his hand and quickly rolled up the edict, replaced it with a blank decree that had not been written, and stamped the emperor's golden seal hard, and took the jade seal from the side, and also covered it, and put two copies into his arms, when nothing happened.

His eyes widened like a bull's eye, and he swallowed his saliva vigorously, nervously able to hear his heartbeat, at this moment, only his heartbeat was left in the world.

He didn't know why he did it, but he did it anyway.

There is only one voice in his heart: Zhou Boli can't be respected, even if he wants to rebel, the old slave has been working hard for decades, and today it is time for you to listen to me, and if you die in the future, let you dispose of it underground...... In short, the lord of the world, it must be the second prince, I have taken him to coax him since I was a child, and the eldest prince will never let him be a sub-saint, rather than the eldest prince violating the holy will, it is better to let the old slave carry it alone......

All the words in my heart jumped out, and suddenly I felt someone pat me on the shoulder, and I was suddenly startled, and I almost went limp, and when I saw that the person who came was the imperial doctor, I hurriedly got out of the way and said: "Old fairy, you hurry up and take a look, the saint has been coughing."

"Yes, yes, we will do our best", the elderly imperial doctor picked up the emperor's wrist, and didn't notice that Li Zhongyi quietly walked behind him.

Out of the emperor's bedroom, Li Zhongyi was like a mouse, changed into the clothes of a little eunuch, and hurried out of the palace gate, eager to give birth to the third foot, only to think that he was the most evil ghost in the world, only at this time, can he walk under the sky.

This way, I rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were dozing, and suddenly saw a figure appear in the snow, and said in surprise: "Who is it?"

Li Zhongyi didn't raise his head, and took out the golden seal of the eunuch with him.

The two guards hurriedly let them go, and said in their hearts: What are you doing when you send a eunuch to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time.

Li Zhongyi avoided the big room, found the most secluded road, and went straight to Lin Changqing's bedroom.

also took out the order of the great eunuch, dismissed all the people near Lin Changqing's bedroom, and quietly pushed the door in.

Lin Changqing was woken up in his sleep, and when he saw a black shadow in front of him, his fatigue turned into cold sweat, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Lin Xiang, it's me", the voice of the great eunuch Li Zhongyi floated in from his ears, Lin Changqing hurriedly got up, Li Zhongyi took the candle from the lamp on the side, took out the fire fold and lit it, and sat in front of Lin Xiang's bed with his hand.

"Father-in-law?", Lin Changqing didn't believe his ears, it was the great eunuch Li Zhongyi who came to find him at this time?

Li Zhongyi ninja cried and said in a low voice: "The emperor is about to ...... the sky", and tears flowed down his eyes after speaking.

Lin Changqing seemed to have been hit on the head hard, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Holy ...... Holy ...... Him"

Lin Changqing's eyes reflected in the fire candle, extremely terrifying, as if he had seen a ghost during the day, and whispered for a long time: "I'll go to the palace."

"Don't go, don't go", Li Zhongyi wiped his tears, grabbed the prime minister, who was not even wearing clothes, blew out the lamp, and took out the two edicts on his body in the dark.

Lin Changqing only heard a sound of asking for something, and for a moment, he only heard a slight sound in his ears, and there was an air current, and there was no other sound at all.

"Fengtian carrier, the first emperor edict said, the northwest king Zhou Boli, immediately enter Beijing, inherit the unification, the second prince Zhou Bomin, the same root and ancestor, Feng Yasheng, its position is only in the emperor Zhou Boli, three bows and six knocks in the middle of the court, called a thousand years old, Qin this ......"

Lin Changqing was stunned suddenly, there was only air current, and there was no voice: "What is this?

Li Zhongyi wiped the sweat on his head and face, and said in a low voice: "The edict is the edict that the Holy Lord asked me to do on my behalf......

"How can the king of the northwest ......".

"Don't worry, don't worry, in this way, I also secretly took a holy decree and came over, don't worry, I'll discuss it with you......"

When Lin Changqing heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and said in horror: "What are you discussing?"

"No one has read the edict except me, if you agree, I will change the edict, and in the future, thousands of calculations will be counted on the head of the old slave, Zhou Boli is not up to the task, no one knows except me, you agree and I will change him, anyway, I wrote it, I changed him, no one in the world will know except me and you, ......."

"You're crazy, this is a rebellion, you're rebelling...... Lin Changqing put all the strength on his mouth, but he didn't dare to shout, only the air flow came out of his mouth.

Li Zhongyi burst into tears, hugged Lin Changqing's legs, and said in a low voice: "I beg you, no, the slave begs Lin Xiang, if you agree with me to change it, I will change it, you see, the emperor's golden seal and jade seal have been stamped, as long as you agree, the lord of the world is the king of Anqing, and the people can have a way to live......."

When Lin Changqing heard this, he sat down on the ground in a daze, and after a while, he reached out and wiped the sweat on his head and neck, stared blankly at the darkness, and didn't say a word.

Li Zhongyi said in a low voice: "The old slave has served the saint for decades, and he has no second heart, and now he really refuses to watch the people of the world in Liyang fall into dire straits, the old slave deserves death, and when he dies, he will explain to the ancestors and ancestors, but if the king of the northwest leads his troops to the dynasty now, the world will be in the blink of an eye, and the slave will not be able to explain to the ancestors when he dies......", he said and cried accidentally.

Lin Changqing hurriedly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "In this way, you give me the edict."

Li Zhongyi gave the written letter to Lin Changqing, and said in a low voice: "If you don't do it, today I and you are grasshoppers on the same rope, if you want to die, then die together", there was a little more fierce between his eyebrows, and he threw the edict into the stove next to him, closed the lid, and listened to the roar of the fire in the furnace.

Suddenly, he came back to his senses and said, "What about the other one?"

Li Zhongyi grabbed the table and stood up, took out another copy from his arms, and lit the fire fold, but saw that it was blank, and only the emperor's gold seal and jade seal were stamped.

"I'll get you a pen, I'll give you that pen", Lin Changqing groped towards his desk in a panic, pinched a large handful of pens in the middle of the night, and said in a low voice: "You write, I'll turn on the light."

"Inkstone, where is the inkstone?", Li Zhongyi wiped the sweat from his head.

Lin Changqing turned on the lamp and brought the inkstone.

Li Zhongyi was about to put down the pen, Lin Changqing said: "Wait, don't be afraid now, just this one, if the writing is broken, it will be gone, you wait first."

Reflexively poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi drank the tea, picked up the pen, and wrote on the paper like a ghost:

"Fengtian carrier, the first emperor edict said, the northwest king Zhou Bomin, inherited the unification, the great prince Zhou Boli, immediately entered Beijing, the same root and ancestor, Feng Yasheng, its position is only in the emperor Zhou Bomin, three bows and six knocks in the middle of the court, called a thousand years old, Qin this."

After writing, the two of them waited quietly for the ink to dry, not a single sound, listening to the sound of snowflakes falling outside the wall, there was no word for a long time, only the sound of each other's short and rapid breathing.

Li Zhongyi rolled up the holy edict and said in a low voice: "Our family has gone back, and there are still things waiting for our family to preside over in the palace."

Lin Changqing watched the figure push the door and walk out of the yard, and when he heard the footsteps gradually moving away, his whole body softened, and he gave himself a mouth, and muttered: "After that, the world will be chaotic......."
