I heard Emperor Zhou say that he was not going to die soon.
The three princes and important ministers fell to the ground one after another, asking Emperor Zhou to take care of the dragon body.
Looking at the three people kneeling on the ground talking, Emperor Zhou was very happy.
Someone stepped forward and kicked him, saying:
"If you three don't stand up and talk, I will be pissed off by you first."
Chu Mengde, Wang Deshui and Ling Ziqi looked at each other in confusion. Then Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui slowly stood up and helped Ling Ziqi, who had difficulty moving.
"Your Majesty, the current national situation is difficult. Please take good care of your dragon body. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty still need your Majesty."
Chu Mengde spoke with great emotion, while Wang Deshui and Ling Ziqi on the side echoed his words.
"Your Majesty, please put the dragon body first!"
Emperor Zhou shook his head.
"I know my own situation. This old bone can no longer hold on."
After saying that, Emperor Zhou coughed again.
Eunuch Su on the side brought a spittoon.
San Gong clearly saw Emperor Zhou spitting blood into the spittoon.
The three of them were all stunned. They thought the emperor was just speaking out of anger, but now it seemed that it was true.
But this shouldn't be the case. Although Emperor Zhou was already over fifty years old, he didn't linger in the harem, nor was he obsessed with the art of immortality. He also took supplements sparingly. Why did he suddenly die?
Looking at the doubtful looks of his three confidants, Emperor Zhou explained:
"I know what you are thinking. The Imperial Kitchen and Imperial Hospital have both checked. The food and decoctions we eat every day have also been tested. No one has poisoned us."
At first, Emperor Zhou thought someone was playing tricks on the food and soup.
They even dispatched the Jinyi personal army to investigate, but nothing was found. They also asked the old priests in the palace to check, but nothing was found.
That can only be attributed to the fact that Emperor Zhou's death is approaching.
As time passed, Emperor Zhou did feel that death was coming.
That's why Liang Yi was hurriedly established as the prince.
The Third Duke looked at Emperor Zhou worriedly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Together with the deceased former Taiwei, they assisted Emperor Zhou since he was still a Qianlong, and finally helped Emperor Zhou ascend to the supreme position of the Nine Five-Year Plan.
Now, some of their original companions are leaving them again, and this time it is their core that is leaving.
How could this not be sad?
In the end, the young man turned gray. People are sentimental but time is ruthless.
"So, you three should pay more attention to the issue of the Crown Prince."
"I originally thought that since Liang Yi is incompetent, I would make him the crown prince, let King Qin and King Ning fight each other, decide the winner as quickly as possible, and decide the crown prince before I die."
"I didn't expect that as soon as I made him the crown prince, he would show extraordinary abilities. In the past, he was just pretending to be crazy and acting stupid in his relationship."
Emperor Zhou shook his head and sighed:
"It's good now. Now the three of them are in a stable situation. No matter who they are, there will be chaos."
Emperor Zhou looked at San Gong with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Three beloved ladies!"
Seeing that Emperor Zhou spoke solemnly, Sangong quickly bowed.
"This is an oral message!"
"If I had not changed the crown prince's ownership before something unbearable happened, all my dear friends would support Liang Yi in succeeding to the throne."
"In addition, I will give you three more Shangfang swords."
Eunuch Su took out three swords and handed them to Sangong.
"If anyone dares to cause trouble after the crown prince succeeds to the throne! Take this sword and kill the rebels!"
On the other side, after Liang Yi and a group of scholars took the oath, they began to prepare for the establishment of Zhan Shifu.
During the process, Liang Yi discovered that Yu Ji was a rare talent. His understanding of government affairs was much deeper than that of many ministers in the DPRK. If he could be polished more, he could become a pillar of the dynasty.
Adhere to the principle of employing people without suspicion and doubting people without using them.
Liang Yi gave him full power to prepare for the establishment of Zhan Shifu, and ordered Zhao Rushou to assist him.
Liang Yi, on the other hand, made an appointment with Duan Yan and Chen Mo in the East Palace Wutang.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Needless to say, this army is indeed a grueling place.
The two people in front of him were completely different from the noble disciples Liang Yi had seen in his daily life.
His face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like bright stars, he wears a silk scarf on his head and wears military uniform.
Standing there, people would only say, What a heroic young general.
I won't say that he is such an impressive young man.
Chen Mo and Duan Yan are both in their mid-twenties.
This age is not considered young in the military camp.
And the official positions of both of them are only from the seventh rank, which shows that they have been suppressed by their parents, even to some extent.
They are also descendants of honorable nobles. Considering their age, they can already lead a large army or serve as a fifth-rank judge in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, or even higher.
The reason why the noble children were promoted so quickly was not because of their parents.
After all, practicing martial arts requires a lot of resources, and the atmosphere for learning the art of war is something ordinary families don't have.
Therefore, in the military, the abilities of the children of noble families are often much higher than those of ordinary people.
This is why gates exist.
The Duan family and the Chen family are typical generals.
Most of the children in the family are in the military, and many middle- and low-level officers have served as soldiers under the two men.
Logically speaking, such a family should have been destroyed long ago by the emperor looking for reasons, or even if it was not destroyed, it would be transferred to a position with little power and the military power in their hands would be removed.
However, the two families have never participated in politics, and they rarely go to court.
He only focused on training and fighting, and didn't care about anything else.
This became a sharp knife that the court could rest assured and the emperor could rest assured.
But this time, the two families who had never had any position in the court were finally going to make a bet.
It is true that Liang Yi lacks military attachés around him.
But what he needs more is support, support from the military, which neither the second prince nor the fourth prince dares to touch easily.
As a prince, if you have contact with ministers, it can be interpreted as monitoring the country or preparing for the future. At most, it can be regarded as you being against the prince.
But if you come into contact with an officer, an officer at the level of commander-in-chief, then what do you want to do? Preparing for rebellion? This is going against the emperor.
Therefore, neither the second prince nor the fourth prince dared to directly contact those giants. At most, they had interactions with their children.
In fact, even if the eldest sons of the Duan and Chen families are presented to Liang Yi, it does not mean that these two families are on Liang Yi's side.
After all, there are more legitimate sons in the family. At most, this means that the two families are optimistic about Liang Yi and are willing to provide some help when the overall situation is in Liang Yi's favor.
But the effect is different.
Such a big family has many pairs of eyes staring at it.
Now the legitimate son of the family is sent to the East Palace.
What do you mean?
Did you receive any news?
Does the emperor also mean this?
Naturally, curious people will come to inquire.
There will be more people willing to join Liang Yi's camp.
This is called buying horse bones for a thousand dollars!
