Chapter 116: A Word Determines the Nation of People
The old emperor was found in the dungeon of the second prince's dormitory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he is still angry, a discerning person knows at a glance that his condition at this time is very bad.
The old emperor was lying on the stone bed, leaning forward, salivating at the corners of his mouth, his face was gray, and his breath was dying.
The Great Elder still attached great importance to the Emperor of the Fufeng Country, and took two steps forward to make a careful diagnosis.
After a long time, Mo Cangxing stood up, shook his head, and sighed softly.
"Anger and anger, wind and evil into the body, plus after the onset of the disease, no one has been diagnosed and cared for for a long time, even I can only do this. ”
Behind the Great Elder, the old emperor's breathing was a little longer, and his face looked a little better, but he was still unconscious.
Mo Cangxing continued: "The emperor's life may be able to support a few more years, but in the future, it will be difficult to move freely, and there will be considerable obstacles in words, as for wanting to discuss matters in the court, I am afraid it is impossible." ”
The fourth prince's face was indignant: "It must be the person who pretended to be the second brother, who wanted to usurp the throne and occupy the righteous name, so he deliberately made his father look like this." ”
In Chen Yuan's impression, Su Xiannan has always been the image of a gentle gentleman, but at this moment, his face rarely has a ruthless color: "It is a pity that the person died too easily to treat his father so viciously." ”
"This fake second prince is just a chess piece, at least the Bu family can't get out of it," Chen Yuan stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Great Elder, the disciple has always had a question in his heart. ”
The Great Elder smiled, "Oh, but it's okay to talk about it. ”
"Now that I think about it, the enemy hidden in the shadows should be plotting, first pretending to be the second prince to seize the throne, because this is an internal change of the royal family, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere with Tianzong. Then, they will use the mouth of this fake second prince to announce that they will break away from the control of my Ying Tianzong and switch to other sects. Chen Yuan guessed.
"It's just that I ran into the Blood Demon Ancestor by surprise, and the people of the Bu family were killed and injured overnight, so they haven't been able to show the banner of the chariot and horse. ”
"That's true," the Grand Elder nodded and encouraged, "and say what else you have in mind." ”
"As far as the disciples know," Chen Yuan wondered, "With the strength of the Bu family, I'm afraid they don't have the ability to control the entire Fufeng Country, and besides, where do they get the confidence to be able to deal with my Ying Tianzong's counterattack?"
"You can see it very clearly," the Great Elder said approvingly, "This whole thing, the Bu family is just the executor, and the main messenger behind it is afraid that there is someone else." ”
"Oh, does the Great Elder know what's going on?" Chen Yuan asked.
The two princes of the Su family were also very concerned about the answer to this question, and stared at the Great Elder with burning eyes.
"It's the Spirit Refining Sect," the Great Elder didn't sell the guanzi, and gave a straightforward answer, "Although there is no more evidence, just based on the abnormal transfer of personnel in its door a few days ago, this can be concluded." ”
"What's more, there are some things that don't need proof. The Great Elder spoke slowly.
Anyway, it's right to throw the black pot to the most unpleasant person, Chen Yuan nodded again and again, feeling that the Great Elder's words were right.
At this moment, there were several strange sounds of "ho ho" behind everyone, and everyone looked back and saw that it was the old emperor who struggled to wake up.
The two princes rushed forward at the same time, knelt a few steps on their knees, knelt in front of the emperor, and shouted in surprise: "Father, you are awake." ”
The old emperor's stroke was very serious, and the entire right half of his body was no longer felt, and only one left eye was open at the moment, and even the corners of his mouth were crooked to the left.
Seeing the two princes kneeling at the bed, the emperor's old eyes flowed with muddy tears, his throat was hoarse, and he shouted with difficulty: "Three, four, ......"
Su Xiannan's impression of his father is a great figure, always not angry and arrogant on his face, and he always calls himself King Dingnan.
But now seeing his father curled up like this, with candles broken in the wind, shouting his nickname San'er, Su Xiannan couldn't help but have a sour eye, and called out again: "Father!"
"Boss?" the old emperor asked again, after a few breaths.
Su Xiannan couldn't bear to answer, turned his head away, and didn't dare to look directly at his father's gaze.
However, seeing Su Xiannan's movements, the old emperor had already fully understood, and his breathing was short, and he was about to lose his breath.
Mo Cangxing's body moved, came to the bedside, spent his spiritual power, and comforted him: "The emperor also asks for condolences, and it is important to cultivate with peace of mind." ”
When the emperor ascended the throne, he had seen Elder Mo once, and decades have passed, and his appearance in his impression has not changed at all.
At this time, seeing someone coming, the emperor called the Taoist immortal master in his mouth, and struggled to get up and salute.
Mo Cangxing let out a soft energy to stop him, and said, "The emperor doesn't need to be polite. ”
The old emperor nodded, as if trying to ease the grief of losing his eldest son.
After a moment, the emperor opened his eyes, looked at the four princes, and then turned his gaze to Su Xiannan.
The old emperor looked at him earnestly, mustered up all his strength, grabbed Su Xiannan's hand, and said intermittently: "San'er...... Throne ......"
Although the words were unknown, everyone present understood what the emperor meant, and he wanted Su Xiannan to inherit the throne of this Fufeng country.
Su Xiannan was taken aback when he heard this, and the fourth prince lowered his head, did not react at all, and remained silent.
Chen Yuan sighed in his heart, the rest of the emperor is fine, but in the selection of the heir, he is really a little unclear.
The eldest prince is short-sighted and shallow, for the sake of his eldest son, it is just that, and now the second prince is a mystery of life and death, but among the remaining two princes, the emperor's attitude is clearly more inclined to Su Xiannan.
Although Chen Yuan is closer to Su Xiannan, after just a few days of contact, even Chen Yuan has to admit that compared to Su Xiannan, who can be bullied, the fourth prince is obviously a more suitable candidate for the emperor.
Unfazed, delicate, resourceful, and ruthless, these qualities of the four princes are necessary to be an emperor.
If he was a king, Su Xiannan might still be barely competent, but now that the internal strife has not been settled, and foreign enemies are looking around, Su Xiannan will be a little difficult to take on the important task.
What's more, with Su Xiannan's fear of women's temperament, isn't the old emperor afraid that there will be no successor to the royal family, Chen Yuan thought maliciously in his heart.
Su Xiannan was obviously a little reluctant, but the old father was earnest, looking at his father's expectant eyes, Su Xiannan was hesitant, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.
Seeing Su Xiannan's performance, Chen Yuan also understood his attitude, and he did think that the fourth prince was a more suitable candidate in his heart, so Chen Yuan no longer hesitated, stepped forward, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I think the position of the crown prince, the fourth prince is more suitable!"
The old emperor was stunned when he heard this, but the fourth prince suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan gratefully.
Mo Cangxing frowned, and reprimanded angrily: "Presumptuous, the inheritance of the emperor's throne, how should someone from my immortal sect interfere?"
Accompanied by anger, a majestic aura slammed Chen Yuan into the wall.
Chen Yuan's chest and abdomen churned, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out.
This is still the result of the Great Elder's mercy just to punish him slightly.
Perhaps it was a misunderstanding of Chen Yuan's words, hiding a bit of the will from Ying Tianzong, the old emperor propped himself up, and said reluctantly: "Immortal Chief, Immortal Elder is angry, this little immortal master is also well-intentioned, it is just a widow who wants to go wrong......"
Turning his head to look at the four princes, the old emperor took a deep look at him: "King Dingbei, the future of this Fufeng Country, I will hand it over to you!"
