Regarding the matter of establishing a new crown prince, people in the court were arguing over it, but no result was reached.
The emperor vomited blood again in the court and fainted. The matter could only be discussed later.
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor was getting weaker and weaker... establishing a prince had indeed become a top priority.
Yun Chu sat in Zhan Shifu and waited quietly.
Not long after, people from the court over there came here to discuss matters, and Yunze was the first one to come.
The most important person to assist the prince, Mr. Lu, did not come, only Mr. Nie and Mr. Xiang, as well as some other deputy envoys for Zhan Shi.
Yunchu could understand Master Lu's choice. Master Lu could be loyal to the former prince, Chu Yi, and the new prince. This was a man who was only loyal to the court.
Nie Xiang and Nie Xiang were personally promoted by Chu Yi from among the Six Ministries. In addition to being Young Fu Shaobao, they also held responsibilities in the Six Ministries. They were second-level officials who truly held real power.
"Master Nie, Master Xiang." Yun Chu stood up and blessed the two of them, and looked at the other people present, "Thank you all for coming."
"What are you talking about, the Crown Princess?" Mr. Xiang hurriedly raised his hands and said, "We are promoted by His Highness the Crown Prince, and we are his people. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince passes away, we still have heavy burdens on us, so we came here to talk to the Crown Princess. Conspiracy to do great things.”
Yun Chu's eyebrows narrowed.
Mr. Nie said: "Now that the emperor wants to establish a new prince, the most suitable one is the seventh prince. However, Concubine Shu's mother clan is too weak. Concubine Shu herself will not fight for it, and the seventh prince does not want to get involved in this muddy water. If the seventh prince The prince becomes the prince, and either dies in Chu Rui's hands, or becomes Chu Rui's new puppet... As for the ninth prince and the tenth prince, they are even younger and don't need to be considered at all. Last night, Mr. Xiang and I stayed up all night After a long talk, what the two of us mean is to surround the emperor’s grandson as the new crown prince!”
He finished speaking.
Other deputy envoys Zhan Shi spoke one after another.
"The emperor's grandson deserves to be the crown prince!"
"With the crown prince protecting him and the Yun family as his backing, the emperor's grandson will definitely be able to secure his position as crown prince!"
"Only in this way can we get rid of Chu Rui's control!"
"Please allow the Crown Princess to agree!"
Yun Chu raised his eyes and looked at everyone, and said one word, sonorous and powerful: "Okay."
Chu Rui is a man who hides deeply and is ruthless. In order to ascend to the throne of justice, he will definitely kill all the other heirs one by one.
It would be better to face the difficulties and confront Chu Rui head-on, firstly to protect Brother Yu, and secondly, to avenge Chu Yi...
"Okay!" Yunze said, "Chu Rui is a poisonous insect who turned the emperor into a puppet and made the emperor's dragon body deteriorate. If Chu Rui doesn't die, our Jin Dynasty royal family will definitely be in chaos... Since we want to make the emperor's grandson the crown prince. , then, first of all, except Chu Rui, I can come forward and convince the chief of the garrison in the suburbs of Beijing to lead troops to surround the imperial city..."
Master Xiang looked horrified: "Isn't this tantamount to conspiracy?"
Mr. Nie shook his head: "This is wrong. This is clearly the Qing emperor's side. He wants to get rid of the villains around the emperor in order to maintain the prosperity of our Jin Dynasty!"
"What a Qingjun!" Yunchu said slowly, "But there are still too few of us. Before we start an incident, we need to..."
She hadn't finished her sentence yet.
suddenly--
A strong and powerful bell sounded.
"Qiang-Qiang-!"
"Qiang-Qiang-!"
Everyone present was stunned, their mouths opened in shock, and they all looked in the direction where the bell was coming from.
Since ancient times, the bell will be rung only when the person with the highest authority dies.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty passed away?" Yunze looked in disbelief, "How could it be, how could it be possible..."
An hour ago, when he went to court, although the emperor's body was weak, he did not look like a dying person. Why did he suddenly...
Yunchu lifted up his skirt and ran towards the Yangxin Hall.
When she arrived at the door of Yangxin Hall, before she entered, she heard sad cries, the cries of the concubines, and the cries of the princes and princesses.
When I walked in, the courtyard was full of eunuchs, maids, and ministers, all lying on the ground, crying bitterly.
Above the Yangxin Hall, there was a cloud of sadness hanging over it.
Yun Chu walked towards the main hall step by step. The closer he got, the clearer the heart-wrenching cries became. The concubines who had no support to rely on cried so hard that their hearts were broken.
She crossed the threshold and finally reached the inner room.
She saw that Chu Hongyu and Chu Changsheng were also lying next to the collapse of the dragon, crying.
The Imperial Academy had just finished school when two children heard the bell. Of course they didn’t understand what the bell meant, but everyone came to the Yangxin Hall, and the two of them followed...
"The Imperial Grandfather is gone..." Chu Hongyu threw herself at Yun Chu, her voice choked with sobs, "Mom, why is the Imperial Grandfather gone..."
Chu Changsheng also threw himself into Yun Chu's arms: "Mom, I'm so sad..."
Yunchu touched the hair of the two children and signaled Tingshuang to comfort them.
Then, she walked towards Longtan.
When she walked to the side of the dragon collapse, she saw the emperor's face, which was blue-gray with a hint of black, and there was dried black blood on the beard around his lips.
The west palace maid is kneeling on the dragon's roof, cleaning the emperor's face, redressing his makeup, and changing his dragon robe...
Above the Dragon Collapse stood Prince Regent Chu Rui.
"It's you!"
Yun Chu stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
She really wanted to kill the person in front of her.
"The Crown Princess is too emotional, so I don't care about the Crown Princess's rudeness." Chu Rui's lips curved, "When the news of the Crown Prince's death came back yesterday, you were not so out of control. Can you explain, There isn’t much affection between you and the prince?”
Yunchu's chest rose and fell violently.
She pursed her lips and suppressed her emotions hard.
The facts were like this, and there was no point in getting angry. She should calm down and think about why Chu Rui suddenly killed the emperor...
She knelt down before the dragon collapsed.
Tears naturally fell down his cheeks.
Although she was crying, the thoughts in her mind did not stop at all...
Chu Rui's eyes were gloomy.
He used that idiot Li Jingshu to poison the emperor, and naturally he wanted to use it for a long time.
But he didn't expect that because of Chu Yi's death, the emperor was so grieved that he vomited blood... This morning, he was the one who urged the Gu worm to push the emperor to stand up and go to court. His original intention was to establish a new prince, but he never expected that , the emperor fainted in the court. After returning to Yangxin Hall, he kept vomiting blood, all black blood. Slowly, more air came out and less air came in...
The last time he forcibly awakened the emperor, it cost him twenty years of his life. The emperor's body must have declined rapidly since then...
If you die, then die.
Just free up space.
Chu Rui raised his eyes and looked at the minister kneeling in the hall.
"Before the emperor died, we were by his side." A cabinet minister raised his head, "The emperor knew that the end was approaching, so he dictated the imperial edict and determined the candidate for the new king. We read out the edict in front of the emperor's body and invited everyone to People, take the order!”
