Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

tao tao…

The deathly silence of the palace, the sound of rushing horses' hooves, resounded again, and once again awakened the memories hidden in the hearts of the eunuchs and maids of the inner palace.

The last time the imperial palace rode on horseback, it seemed that the emperor was assassinated, and it seemed to be the beginning of the **** storm that swept the capital.

This time...

Looking at the familiar figure surrounded by the iron cavalry, the eunuchs and maids also trembled, and quickly lowered their heads.

As for Li Xiu, the same road has been traveled many times.

It was the second time that I had the same anxiety and worry.

The Qianqing Palace is already in sight, and it can be reached in an instant.

Li Xiu became more and more hesitant.

"Master Hou!"

Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, and Cao Huachun rushed out of the hall. The moment they saw Li Xiu, they couldn't stop exclaiming.

"Your Majesty... What's the matter with Your Majesty?"

Wang Chengen's eyes were red: "Your Majesty, I'm waiting for you, Lord Hou, I've been waiting!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiu flew into the Qianqing Palace.

However, the galloping pace stopped subconsciously when he saw the emaciated body.

His eyes were also unstoppably red.

Step by step, as if afraid of disturbing anything, he walked towards the sickbed with difficulty.

At this moment, the emperor, who was lying on the sickbed, seemed to have noticed something. He struggled to open his eyes and turned his neck little by little. Those already cloudy and dead eyes also looked at Li Xiu who was approaching.

The Son of Heaven laughed!

Although at this moment, this smile is extremely ugly, but it has never been brighter.

"His Majesty!"

The armor touched the ground, Li Xiu, the myth that countless soldiers of the Ming Dynasty believed in. At this moment, there were tears in the eyes.

"Ho... Li... Brother Li... You're back... Just come back..."

"I'm back, the last will be back!"

Li Xiu clenched his fists tightly, and his voice trembled.

"Liao, Liao... How is the military situation in the east..."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Liaodong is safe, Shanhaiguan has been in control, and the army has withdrawn. Houjin and Liaozhen have been de facto blocked..."

"Okay! I...I know, Brother Li, you can do it..."

The emperor let out a long sigh and was silent for a long time before calling out with difficulty.

"Chun...Brother Chun!"

Empress Zhou, who was standing beside her, immediately brought the little prince over.

With the help of the queen, the emperor sat up with difficulty, raised his dry arm like a branch, and stroked the little prince's bewildered face.

"Brother Li...Chun...Brother Chun will leave it to you..."

The emperor held the little prince's hand with one hand, and he pulled it tremblingly to Li Xiu's body. In the end, it was handed over to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu tightly held the arm of the little prince in front of him, looked at the prince full of expectations, and nodded firmly and decisively.

"well!"

The emperor was paralyzed against the edge of the bed, his eyes closed slightly, as if he had completely settled his last thoughts.

At this moment, Wang Chengen also stepped forward cautiously: "Your Majesty, the officials are already outside the hall!"

"Pass it on..."

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Baiguan enters the hall to see you!"

Outside the hall, the kneeling civil and military officials also stood up one after another and walked into the Qianqing Palace amid the repressed silence.

When they saw Li Xiu, who had not taken off his armor in front of the emperor's sick bed, all the ministers had different expressions, but at this moment, they couldn't help thinking too much.

After the officials knelt down and shouted, the hall returned to silence again, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the emperor on the sickbed to issue his final decree, or in other words, his will!

"Brother Li...help me up!"

The Son of Heaven made a sound, and these titles made the demeanor of the ministers change suddenly.

With the help of Li Xiu, the emperor also sat up bit by bit, facing the ministers.

This is also the first time since the Son of Heaven became seriously ill, that the ministers have been in succession.

"Fengtian, the emperor's edict said that the Marquis of Zhenbei led the army to wipe out Monan and Mobei, and pacified the calamity in the northern Xinjiang, with outstanding merits..."

"I was named Duke of Qin, the governor of the five armies and the governor's mansion, in charge of the army and horses of the world!"

"Polupu Xu Feng, who entered Monan alone, supported the sixteen Mongolian tribes in Monan, killed countless enemies, sealed the broken prince, gave iron scrolls, and was promoted to the governor of Jizhen, the governor of Jizhen's military and government..."

"Such as Shanbo Yanshun, the military town Tashan, and after blocking the whole country's attack by Jin alone... seal Rushanhou, give iron rolls..."

"Zhao Wu, Uncle Loyalty..."

"The remaining meritorious men in the army will be jointly evaluated and rewarded by the Commander's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War, and the meritorious ministers must not be neglected..."

One after another, the decrees of rewarding and rewarding sounded in this quiet Qianqing Palace, which also clearly revealed the thoughts of the emperor.

At this time when the merits are high, when the right of Zhenbei Hou is irresistible...

The Son of Heaven, even if his life ends, he still stands firmly behind the Marquis of Zhenbei...

Thousands of words, indescribable feelings in my heart.

This is a clear portrayal of the minds of today's courtiers and officials.

Worry, fear, helplessness, or... despair...

"I...I...time is running out..."

At this moment, the silent emperor only spoke slowly.

The voice was intermittent, but it was incomparably firm. At this moment, his pale expression appeared a little ruddy, and the turbid eyes began to brighten.

"After my death, the crown prince succeeds to the throne!"

Speaking of this, the emperor waved to the prince again, and after holding the prince, the emperor turned to look at Li Xiu, whose shirt was stained with blood in the hall.

"The prince is young, he should have ministers to support the country, Qin Guogong has made outstanding achievements and can be the pillar of the country!"

"Before the crown prince and the crown prince were in power, all matters in the court, large and small, were handled by Duke Qin..."

"All ministers, please help with all your heart, so that the country can be settled and the country rejuvenated!"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was completely silent, and all the officials were full of disbelief!

It is predictable that the emperor trusts the Marquis of Zhenbei!

But, entrust Da Ming to one person!

This…

This kind of thing has never happened since time immemorial!

"No, Your Majesty, absolutely not!"

"This is the destiny of the country, and there has never been such a precedent since ancient times!"

Some courtiers shouted in despair!

"I! I have made up my mind! You don't need to say more!"

The emperor was furious, his face flushed, and when he said angrily, the corners of his mouth actually oozes blood red.

At this scene, the boiling words of the courtiers were suddenly stagnant.

No matter what they are thinking, but when the Son of Heaven is dying, if he collapses because of their boiling words, then it is the crime of Heaven's Execution, and no one can save it!

At this moment, the emperor ignored the courtiers.

Since the assassination, he has completely lost all trust in the courtiers, to be precise, in the civil servants.

He would rather take the risk of the country changing hands than hand over the country to the civil servants.

In the hands of Li Xiu, even if Jiangshan is in danger of changing hands, Jiangshan will definitely be rejuvenated!

In the hands of civil servants... the emperor dares to assassinate them, even if the country continues, and besides, can they save the mountains and rivers from falling? Can they... save the country?

Civil servants can be killed!

…

Under the gazes of the courtiers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the emperor slowly stood up, holding the prince, step by step, tremblingly walked to Li Xiu.

Looking at Li Xiu, the emperor smiled brightly:

"Brother Li, I leave it all to you!"

Looking at each other, Li Xiu took a half step back and bowed: "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

"Good! Good..."

The emperor slowly turned around, looked around at the ministers, and seemed to be looking around the Daming Jiangshan, which was just getting better.

In the eyes, there is unwillingness, there is memory, and there is hope...

"Mountains, rivers, sun and moon are forever... Daming Jiangshan... forever!"

A faint sentence, floating in the temple, lingering.

This hard-supported body is also like a candle in the wind, suddenly extinguished!
