Looking at the frail face of the imperial brother and listening to these words, Zhao Jun's long-frozen heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, but then he became calm again.
But Zhao Ming, who saw the change in Zhao Jun's expression, felt a touch of pity in his heart.
Still the same.
"Brother Imperial, don't say anything for now. I'll use my inner energy to protect your heart first!"
After Zhao Jun finished speaking, his whole body's momentum exploded without saying a word, and then suddenly disappeared. The vigorous inner energy quickly entered Zhao Ming's body, and continued to slowly flow towards his heart, filling the opponent's constantly draining vitality. .
Zhao Ming's face looked much better, but he slowly shook his head:
"Don't waste your efforts, I can feel that you are just wasting your efforts.
Sooner or later, everyone will die, and the same goes for me, my dear brother. This life is coming to an end. "
Zhao Ming was right. Zhao Jun's inner energy continued to replenish Zhao Ming's vitality, although it was barely maintained at a balance, but this was only temporary.
That sword stuck in his heart had caused irreversible damage.
What he was doing was so-called just using his inner energy to forcefully extend his life, but once he stopped, the life that should have passed away would immediately pass away.
"Brother, please don't say anything. We have military doctors in our army and we will definitely save you!"
Even though he knew it was impossible, Zhao Jun still offered words of comfort.
Zhao Ming laughed softly, his eyes gradually fell into memories and he slowly said:
“You’ve been like this since you were a child, you don’t mean what you say.
What others see is your optimistic look, but I, the Imperial Brother, can detect your deeply hidden indifference, as if you are wary of everyone and suspicious of everyone.
You have never really opened up your heart, and I don’t know where you learned it at such a young age, just like a little adult.
I still remember that when you were eight years old, the fourth and fifth children bullied you. You picked up the inkstone and hit each of them, causing their heads to bleed. Later, when your father asked you to accuse you, you refused to admit guilt.
Later, he changed his shoes to straw sandals and told them harshly that he was barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes. If he bullied you again, he would exchange them with them!
The fourth and fifth boys were so frightened that they never dared to trouble you again.
Hahaha, it’s funny now to think about how stubborn you were back then! "
While the two brothers were talking, the guards who followed quickly cleared away these black-armored infantry.
Each person has a pumpkin hammer, whirring in his hands skillfully, aiming at an iron skull and smashing it with a bang, directly smashing the iron lump until the brains burst!
The escort quickly drove back the black-armored infantry with one hit. Just at this time, Ye Wei also arrived with his people. The two sides immediately cleared the black-armored infantry surrounded in the middle.
Zhao Jun and the two were protected here, and the military doctor from the escort army also came, but they just took a look at the prince's injury, then sighed and left. Such an injury could not be saved even by the arrival of Daluo Jinxian. .
The Zhao Jun brothers naturally saw this scene and understood the result. Zhao Jun was silent.
Zhao Ming smiled happily and said:
"Well, isn't it just death?
If the royal brother is afraid of death, he will not come back. "
"Why is Brother Prince coming back?"
At this time, Cao Shuang had also been rescued. From Cao Shuang's mouth, Zhao Jun also knew that his father asked the prince's brother to leave, but the prince's brother nodded and came back.
He didn't understand why the prince brother didn't leave with the big guys?
Zhao Ming suddenly stopped smiling, a complicated look appeared on his face, and said slowly:
"Old Liu, do you think Gu is really suitable to take over the Song Dynasty?"
"You are the prince!"
Zhao Jun said seriously.
"Prince? Ha..."
Zhao Ming laughed to himself.
"If you were born in an era when the country was stable, Gu Hui would have been a good heir in the past. Although Gu didn't have great abilities, he was not bad at all.
But in today's Song Dynasty, I am really not sure. My father asked me to find you. With your help, I can secure my position.
But that's not what Gu wants.
What's the difference between such a lonely person, a lonely person who relies on you to secure his position, and a puppet? "
"Brother Prince!"
Zhao Jun shouted.
Zhao Ming ignored him, and said with memories in his eyes: "If the eldest brother is still alive, maybe he is the best choice.
However, the eldest brother's mother is a daughter of the Lu family. The Lu family's status in the Song Dynasty was too high at that time. If the eldest brother succeeds to the throne in the future, the Song Dynasty will most likely be controlled by the Lu family group.
This is also the reason why my father deposed my eldest brother, but I didn’t expect that my father not only deposed my eldest brother as the crown prince, but also gave him his mother and son...
These methods are not something I can do, but as an emperor's father, his behavior is undoubtedly the most decisive.
But I can’t do it alone!
So Gu decided to let someone who can do it come!
This may be the most correct thing I have done in my life. "
The effect of inner energy to extend life is getting worse and worse, and the loss of vitality in Zhao Ming's body is getting more and more serious. Zhao Jun's internal energy gradually failed to replenish, causing Zhao Ming to become weak.
He seemed to have noticed something, and a smile broke out on his face again.
"If Gu is still alive, it is impossible for you, Lao Liu, to inherit the throne through righteousness. But if Gu dies, with your methods, neither Lao Si nor Lao Wu will be your opponent, but you don't have to worry about Lao Liu. You are now four and five, and Gu has already arranged for someone to help you.
Lao Liu, you are good at everything, but you are too lazy. You must be more diligent when you inherit the throne in the future, and you must maintain the inheritance of your ancestors!
And...and..."
Zhao Ming's voice became weaker and weaker, but Zhao Jun was already stunned by the information contained in his words.
The reason why the emperor brother came back to die on his own initiative was to make room for himself!
But I never thought about competing with the imperial brother for the throne. I just wanted to be a lazy prince as long as I could protect myself. But now...
At this time, with all his strength, Zhao Ming finally said his last words.
"There are also Queen Mother and Qing Ning, I... I feel sorry for them, I have to... I have to take the first step.
From now on, they will just...please take care of you...
Help me tell my mother that my son is unfilial!
Help me tell Qing Ning that if he really doesn't want to be a widow, he can remarry. I don't blame her...
In the future, we must...be kind to the people...
And you... give others a little more trust... don't shut yourself up for too long... you will... get tired..."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Ming slowly closed his eyes, but there seemed to be a slight smile on his lips because he had finished explaining his last words.
Zhao Jun froze in place the moment he felt Zhao Ming's heart stop beating.
After a while, he put his trembling hands under Zhao Ming's breath, still unable to believe it.
Finally, his stopped breathing brought him back to the cold reality.
“Brother Royal!!!!!”
It has been twenty-eight years since I was reborn!
Zhao Jun had never shed a tear, but today he shed tears uncontrollably.
The eighth day of the ninth lunar month in the twenty-eighth year of Tiansheng.
The capital of the Song Dynasty was destroyed in one day, and two kings were lost in a row!
The emperor and the prince died together in the battle to defend the capital, but the Song Dynasty ushered in a turning point at this time.
But officials all over the world sighed that this was a sign of the coming wolf...
