Eunuch Ruian cried with tears in his eyes: "This old slave is helpless. Although the Emperor is awake, he is probably not going to die soon. He can only breathe out, not in, and cannot speak. About... only about half an hour to live..."
As soon as these words came out, the sound was like thunder.
All the ministers were confused.
No one dared to speak.
Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly.
So suddenly.
Although everyone is used to seeing the emperor looking sick.
However, the emperor is dying.
This bad news was hard to accept for a while.
"Ah, brother emperor."
The Eight Wise Kings shouted loudly and fell straight down.
"The Eight Wise Kings!"
Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu rushed over and helped the Eight Sage King up.
Beat your chest and back.
What a hassle.
The Eight Wise Kings finally woke up and burst into tears: "Brother, brother, brother, if you leave me like this, how can I live alone?"
"My brother assists my brother in governing the world. How can my brother leave first? You and I, brothers, should die on the same year, month and day. If the emperor leaves today, my brother will definitely follow him and go to hell together."
"No way."
Yang Ke immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, if the Emperor dies, the country of Great China is in danger, and we can only rely on you. If the prince also follows the Emperor, wouldn't it mean that the country of Great China has fallen into the hands of the Turks? How can the people of Great China fall to the hands of the Turks? Wouldn’t it mean that people would be devastated and mourning would fill the land?”
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right."
Zhang Yongwu stood up and said forcefully: "Your Majesty, now is the time of life and death for Dahua. To the south, there is Annan invading Dahua's territory, and to the west, the countries in the Western Regions are watching with eager eyes and disobeying discipline."
"The most anxious thing is the northern border. The Turks rely on force and are eyeing Dahua. If it weren't for the Eight Wise Kings to strategize, Dahua's land would have been taken away by the Turks."
"So, for the sake of the country, the country, and the safety of the people of the country, the Eight Wise Kings must also mourn, carry the banner, wave the flag and shout for the country, and hold up a sunny sky for the people."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
…
Liao Zhan, Tang Hanxiao, the ministers of the Zongren Mansion, the imperial eunuch, the cabinet bachelor, Yang Ke's lackeys, and various figures from the military, all knelt in the court hall.
A group of civil and military ministers are praying for the Eight Wise Kings to express their condolences, and they are all eagerly looking forward to the Eight Wise Kings presiding over the government.
When Yan Qi saw it, he sneered and felt even more shocked.
Because these civil and military ministers kneeling on the ground accounted for
According to two-thirds of the court ministers.
In other words, more than half of the ministers in the court obey the orders of the Eight Wise Kings.
Moreover, under the instigation of Yang Ke and Zhang Yongwu, this group of people also set up ladders for the Eight Wise Kings to help the Eight Wise Kings ascend to the throne.
Ministers, you say something and I say something.
"Eight Wise Kings, the Emperor has not appointed a crown prince."
"What should I do?"
"Is there any need to establish a prince? Is there any more suitable prince than the Eight Wise Kings?"
"Yes, the emperor has always left the political affairs to the Eight Wise Kings, who are the de facto crown princes."
"That's right, the Eight Wise Kings are courteous and corporal. They are familiar with government affairs, love the people like sons, and are extremely intelligent. With the Eight Wise Kings ruling the world, they will definitely be able to govern Dahua in an orderly manner."
"Yes, what I said is that a country cannot live without a king for a day. Now, let's invite the Eight Wise Kings to ascend the great treasure."
"I sincerely invite the Eight Wise Kings to be enthroned as great treasures."
"I respectfully invite the eight sages to be honored with great treasures."
"I sincerely invite the Eight Wise Kings to be enthroned as great treasures."
…
A group of ministers persuaded him to come in.
The Eight Wise Kings looked miserable, but they were smiling in their hearts.
Layout for many years.
Today, it finally came to fruition.
Ha ha!
happy!
The Eight Wise Kings continued to pretend: "Dear ministers, don't say it, don't say it. What virtues and abilities do I have? I have ascended to the throne? Don't mention this matter again. Don't mention it again."
Plop!
Yang Ke knelt in front of the Eight Wise Kings: "My lord, for the sake of the people of the world and the country, you cannot refuse. On behalf of the Prime Minister of Dahua, I respectfully invite the Eight Wise Kings to be enthroned as a great treasure."
Zhang Yongwu knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
A group of courtiers below also shouted.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor."
"This...how can this be done?"
The Eight Wise Kings laughed heartily.
Although my whole body hurts a lot.
But when I thought that I would be crowned the Dabao soon, I was so happy that I wanted to dance for joy.
All the effort was worth it.
The Eight Wise Kings looked troubled: "Hey, for the sake of the country, for the great cause of the country, and for the welfare of the people, I can only obey the fate."
He stared at the throne and walked up step by step.
Touching the throne, the Eight Wise Kings were excited.
As soon as he turned around, he was about to sit on it.
From then on, he ruled the world.
"Wait!"
Yan Qidang shouted, shocking the government and the public.
The Eight Wise Kings were so frightened that they trembled all over.
He looked back at Yan Qi with lingering fear.
Although he was now confident of victory, he still felt guilty when he looked at Yan Qi.
Now he wanted to kill Yan Qi immediately.
In particular, he has already laid out the layout.
The city gate is blocked.
Yan Qi can hardly fly with his wings.
None of Yan Qi's wives can escape.
This time, Yan Qi’s gangsters must be wiped out.
Zhao Qing, Wan Liang, Fan Tong, Tian Heng, Guoping people, etc., everyone who is of the same lineage as Yan Qi will be killed.
Oh, right.
And that stubborn donkey An Sihai must be put to death.
The Eighth Sage King looked at Yan Qi with cold eyes: "What's the matter with you?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Eight Wise Kings, dear ministers, what I want to say is, the emperor is not dead yet, you are going to establish another emperor? Isn't this appearance a bit ugly?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
The Eight Wise Kings were anxious: "Why do you look ugly when you eat? Yan Qi, what are you talking nonsense about? Ministers are just for the livelihood of the world, how can they be compared with what they eat?"
Yang Ke was furious: "Bold Yan Qi, you actually uttered arrogant words and didn't kneel down to apologize to the Eight Wise Kings?"
Zhang Yongwu drew his sword and stood up: "Yan Qi, if you dare to challenge the Eight Wise Kings in front of the court again, I will fight with you."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Yan Qi raised her head and laughed wildly, not afraid at all, and looked at the Eight Wise Kings jokingly: "Now that the emperor is dying, you don't go to visit the emperor, but you are here rushing to board the plane and become the emperor. Is this what you call brotherhood?"
"this……"
The Eight Wise Kings were startled and speechless.
Yan Qi pointed at Yang Ke, Zhang Yongwu, and the kneeling ministers: "If you have the emperor in your heart, why don't you go and kneel down to worship the emperor, but you come here to persuade the Eight Wise Kings to join? Whose ministers are you?"
Yang Ke was stunned.
Zhang Yong was armed and deafened.
The officials were terrified.
The Eighth Sage King was furious: "Yan Qi, I'm going to visit the emperor, I don't need you to give me advice."
Yan Qidao: "I'm sorry, there are also arrangements to visit the emperor. The Eight Wise Kings will discuss with the ministers how to hold the enthronement ceremony. I will go to visit the emperor right away."
The Eighth Sage King's face turned livid: "Yan Qi, you are not qualified to visit the Emperor."
"I'm not qualified?"
Yan Qi laughed wildly: "Ask Commander Gao, am I qualified?"
"Commander Gao?"
When the Eighth Sage King turned around, he saw Gao Shangtian, fully armed with a sword at his side, walking into the main hall in a serious and cold manner.
