After all the palace maids and eunuchs went out, the emperor coughed a few times and said, "Grandpa Sun, help me get up!"

Gonggong Sun didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly ran to the emperor's bed, lifted the golden curtain, and helped the emperor to sit up. The emperor leaned on the soft luo and looked at the four princes not far away.

The four princes did not shy away from meeting the emperor's gaze, and their eyes were facing each other, which was a look of love and hate!

After being silent for a long time, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth and asked lightly: "Hong'er, father and the emperor ask you, do you really want to sit in that position?"

The fourth prince was silent, as if he didn't know how to answer this question, the emperor smiled slightly, and said gently: "Just tell the truth, just think of it as you and my father and son talking." ”

The fourth prince closed his eyes and sighed: "Born in the royal family, I can't help myself, it's just to save my life!"

After listening to the words of the fourth prince, the emperor showed a miserable smile on his face, "Hehe, in order to save your life, you killed your second half-brother, and you sent your eldest brother to the prison with your own hands, you are really my good son!"

The four princes knelt on the ground with a 'poof', but said nothing.

"Hehe, are you admitting this?" the emperor asked lightly.

The fourth prince shook his head, "The things in the world can be summed up by the word "turbidity, except for the human heart, the human heart, who says it clearly, who is clear?" The death of the imperial brother Jing Hong is also very sad, but the person is gone, and the living person will continue to live, I only hope that the father's day will change smoothly, and don't hurt the dragon body!"

"Alas, you still don't admit it after all! Jinghong, do you know why I want to kill Li Talent?" The emperor's face was full of loneliness.

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes and said sharply: "I don't know!

"Because he is so smart! So smart that even I am afraid of him! I can only rest assured if he dies! Moreover, he also killed my sons! Two! One of them was even killed by his own hands! If I don't kill him, I can't understand the hatred in my heart!" The emperor slapped his palm on the bed, his face flushed with excitement, and he kept coughing. He covered his mouth with his hands, and his hands were covered with blood, and these were all coughed up by the emperor!

"Your Majesty, don't get excited, lie down, the slave will go and call the imperial doctor!" Grandpa Sun looked anxious and wanted to find the imperial doctor, but the emperor waved his hand and refused.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need, Grandpa Sun, you stand here, don't go anywhere!"

"....."

"Do you have to force me to give you an order?" said the emperor with a glare.

Seeing that the emperor was in a hurry, Gonggong Sun hurriedly bowed his head and stood aside, not daring to mention the matter of finding the imperial doctor. The emperor turned his head to look at the four princes, waiting for the four princes' reply. The four princes who were kneeling on the ground did not speak, but silently kowtowed to the emperor three times.

The emperor watched the four princes kowtow, without saying a word, the four princes did not get up after kowtowing, and said in a deep voice: "Everything that the talent has done is instructed by the son, and it has nothing to do with him, if the father wants to punish the crime, he will cure the son's crime!

"Don't you think it's too late to say that now?"

The fourth prince who was kneeling on the ground suddenly shook, his face turned pale, and his face was full of misery. The fourth prince slowly stood up and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yes, the talent is dead, what's the use of talking about this now?"

Looking at the disillusioned appearance of the four princes, the emperor's face showed a touch of disappointment, and he couldn't help but shout: "A talent makes you so depressed, how can you sit on the throne with such a state of mind? Look at your current appearance, what is the difference between you and those reckless rivers and lakes!"

"Is it true that only ruthless people can sit on the throne? Is it true that only by treating the lives of the people around them as grass mustard can he become a Ming monarch who has been passed down through the ages? If this is the case, then this throne is okay, don't sit on it!" the four princes said slowly.

"Rebel, do you know what you say again!" the emperor was furious, and coughed up a wisp of bright red.

"Father, the dragon body is important! Since the father and the emperor owe the dragon body to An, the ministers will retire first, and come to greet the father and emperor in the future!" After the four princes finished speaking, they saluted the emperor and turned around and left without hesitation.

Just as he was in front of the door of the dormitory, the emperor suddenly coughed lightly twice and shouted: "Jing Hong, stop!"

"Does my father have any other orders?" the fourth prince stopped but did not turn around.

The emperor struggled to sit up straight, his face was extremely pale, and even his lips were not bloody, obviously he was already terminally ill!

The emperor supported his father-in-law Sun beside him, and said tremblingly: "Jing Hong, I have nine sons, you are the fourth, and the people who seize the prince are also four! The boss, the second, the fourth, and the sixth, now the eldest and the second are all defeated in your hands, and the sixth has no national pillar behind him, and the power in the court cannot be compared with you, and it is only easy for you to destroy him! After my death, the throne is just within easy reach for you, but I can't let you get your wish! I have already instructed the Ten Palaces of Yama, as long as there is no edict from me to confirm that you are the prince, then they will unconditionally support the sixth child to ascend the throne! Jing Hong, even if you sit on the throne, facing the concerns of the six masters of the Soul Ascension Realm, I am afraid that you will not be able to sit on this throne!"

Looking at the face of the fourth prince Tie Qing, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, paused and continued: "But I am not a faint monarch, you or the sixth child is more suitable to be the emperor, I know better than anyone else in my heart! I tell you the truth, although I sent Zhong Zhixing plus three hundred black armor troops to kill Li talent, but Lu Yanzhen's cultivation was too shocking, not only killed Zhong Zhixing, but also beheaded four Yama in a row! Although he killed Yu Linglong, Li talent did not die, he should still be in Tianluo City now! I now give you a chance to choose, as long as you are willing to send someone to kill Li Tian, I will immediately make you the prince and rule the Tongtian Empire! If you are unwilling, I will make Lao Liu the prince, even if you can take the throne from him, but the remaining six Yamas will not let you sit comfortably! You choose for yourself, do you want the throne or do you want talent?"

The fourth prince slowly turned around, was silent for a while, and asked, "If the son gives up the throne, will the father be willing to let go of his talent?"

The emperor was stunned, frowned and asked, "Would you rather give up the throne than preserve your talent?!"

The fourth prince nodded heavily, and said sonorously: "If giving up the throne can save the talent, Erchen chooses to give up the throne and let the sixth brother ascend the throne!

"He... Is it worth it? He's just a strategist! I don't believe there is no smarter person in the world than him! As long as you become the emperor, how many strategists will you have? Why bother to arrest him alone?" the emperor asked in disbelief.

The fourth prince looked at the emperor deeply, and said in a deep voice: "The heavenly family is ruthless, the sons were bullied by several royal brothers and brothers when they were young, the father and the emperor were as indifferent to the sons as passers-by, and the queen mother only had five brothers in her eyes, and she could not tolerate a place for the sons! Now he has taken the risk of the nine clans of Zhulian to bring down the imperial brother for Erchen, and has created a bright road for Erchen, he is the real brother of Erchen! Erchen can't do anything to hide the bird's bow, if he can save his life with the throne, Erchen thinks it's worth it!"

"What if the sixth child is afraid that you will rebel after he ascends the throne, and he will kill you with a random charge on your head?

The fourth prince nodded without hesitation, "It's worth it! I can exchange my son's life for a life, and my son thinks it's worth it!"

"Hahaha! You really have a bit of a charlatan! Okay, you have a fight with my father and son, since you have said so, I will fulfill you! Grandpa Sun, pen and ink are waiting, I will make an edict!" The emperor laughed loudly.

The fourth prince slowly closed his eyes, knelt on the ground, put his palms in front of his forehead, and said loudly: "Thank you father for your success! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Grandpa Sun's face turned pale for a moment after hearing the emperor's confident laughter, he lowered his head, choked up, and said respectfully: "Yes!" Grandpa Sun turned around and went to prepare pen and ink, but no one saw Grandpa Sun inadvertently wiping the corners of his eyes.

Grandpa Sun's hands and feet were nimble, and it didn't take long to prepare the pen and ink. The emperor sat on the bed, lifted the purple bamboo pole in his hand, and wrote with a big stroke of the pen. While writing, he said: "Since I ascended the throne, the military administration has not been tired of diligence and dare not be self-indulgent. Yang is the ancestor Mo Lie Zhaoyi, entrusted to the heavy, Cheng Xingqing, and the end is in Yuanliang. The fourth prince Jing Hong, with a noble character, bows deeply, belongs to the will of heaven, will be able to overcome the great unification, I would like to tell heaven and earth, Zongmiao, Sheji, grant the treasure, set up as the crown prince, with the unity of ten thousand years, with the heart of the four seas! I have been suffering from illness for a long time, and I have not been able to miss a thousand opportunities for a long time, and I hereby order the crown prince Jing Hong to hold the seal and ascend the throne, that is, to be called the emperor! Announce to the world, and the salty envoy will know about it!"

The four princes were like lightning strikes, their scalps were numb, and they looked at the familiar and strange person in front of them in a daze!

The emperor smiled slightly, "Jing Hong, don't you come forward to receive the order?"

"Father, why do you ..... you..."Jing Hong said in a daze.

The emperor looked at the edict in front of him blankly, and his eyes showed a touch of inexplicable emotion, and he sighed with emotion: "The heavenly family is ruthless, and the king needs to be ruthless even more! If you are emotional, how can you govern a country well? But you can't be ruthless as a king, if you have affection, then the country has affection, and if you are ruthless, then the country is ruthless! If you are an emperor, if you can't even protect the people around you, how can you protect the people of this country? A home is a country, a country is a home, and a king is the head of a family! Loving the people like a son is not a casual remark! Junzhou and the people's water, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat, Jing Hong, don't let the people overturn you!"

The fourth prince nodded heavily to the emperor, "Father, Jing Hong understands!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, his face was strangely flushed with a ruddy complexion that only normal people have, and he smiled and said to the fourth prince: "Jinghong, you come up to receive the decree yourself!"
