The second prince knew that he was no match for Xiao Yuchen, so he had no intention of competing. He simply became more obsessed with poetry and songs in order to protect himself.
The sixth prince Xiao Jia is Xiao Yuchen's "iron fan". He doesn't have much talent in martial arts, but he likes him very much.
Xiao Yuchen, who was extremely skilled in personal martial arts, had been his idol when he was a teenager.
This time, the news came out that Xiao Yuchen "entered the palace to offer medicine".
Xiao Jia was the first to rush into the Beiya Army and report the news.
He was also the first to lead the Beiya Army and surrounded the five palace gates of the imperial city, hoping to cooperate with Xiao Yuchen inside and outside to regain power.
In the process of clearing away the remaining evil this time.
Those who have made meritorious deeds will naturally be rewarded and entrusted with important responsibilities.
The two captures of treasonous thieves have allowed Xiao Yuchen's power to penetrate deeply into the capital and into the imperial court.
The emperor fell seriously ill and seemed to have figured out a lot of things.
His stroke was not fake.
However, the stroke was not that serious.
What almost killed him was not the stroke, but his sons.
To be more precise, it is the sons' desire for power.
"I'm getting old and it's time to let go. How many good days can I still have?"
"Tell the young people to do it!"
This is what Fang Xu brought back.
Fang Xu serves the emperor, but he is Xiao Yuchen's eyes and ears.
After Fang Xu brought these words back, many senior ministers who were already elderly, even much older than the emperor, went to visit the emperor.
People of the same age may have more to talk to.
This group of old people, when they talk, are like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, trembling.
Young people don't like to chat with them.
But the old emperor was very happy, looking at the blushing ministers who even dared to argue with him in the court.
At this time, I watched the sunset with him and the autumn scenery as the summer was coming to an end and the remaining flowers were falling all over the ground.
They seem to be particularly sympathetic to each other.
"Let's take a Zen position..." I don't know who sighed softly.
The emperor stared.
Several veterans looked at the setting sun and falling flowers as if nothing had happened.
That sentence seemed like his hallucination, more like the sigh of the autumn wind.
The emperor nodded in despair, "I'm old, it's time..."
People who have not received power want power.
How can people who have held supreme power in their hands for decades let go of this power?
Therefore, there are not many emperors in history who are willing to take the throne.
The situation of that day was relayed to Xiao Yuchen's ears intact.
When Xiao Yuchen heard about it, the entire Kyoto was already under his control.
There is only one "status" between him and the supreme position.
Within two days, the emperor, who had not attended the court meeting for a long time, suddenly appeared at the court meeting.
Everyone probably guessed what was going to happen in today's court meeting.
I could see the faces of all the ministers showing a sense of joy, anticipation, and vague joy.
The emperor's face immediately became a little darker.
"I am getting old, my energy is low, and my body is getting heavier..."
All the ministers immediately knelt down and shouted three times, "Long live, may you live forever."
The emperor waved his hand, "Fortunately, I have Wang Huai, who has my heart. He is both civil and military, brave and resourceful, and can take on great responsibilities and inherit the great rule!"
"Today, I will entrust this important task to Prince Huai..."
"My son, King Huai, come forward and obey your orders!"
Above the old emperor and the court meeting, in front of all the ministers, the Zen Emperor Huai Xiao Yuchen was seated.
King Huai declined three times.
The old emperor entrusted him three times.
After three invitations and three resignations, it was not until the fourth time that King Huai took the jade seal from the old emperor and sat on the dragon throne.
The old emperor slowly left the scene under the watch of the ministers and the new emperor.
From now on, he is the Supreme Emperor!
The status is more respected, but there is no real power in his hands.
The Supreme Emperor grabbed Fang Xu's hand and sighed with regret, "If I had let go earlier... wouldn't it be possible that the trouble between their brothers would not have reached this point? Isn't it possible that so many of my sons would be guilty? ?”
Fang Xu glanced at the emperor quickly. He didn't dare to answer these words.
The emperor didn't seem to have any hope that he could say anything wise.
"What I'm most worried about is not Chen'er. Chen'er was impulsive and domineering when he was young, but since he knew that he was a father, he has become much calmer and more mature..."
"What I'm really worried about is..."
Fang Xu immediately interrupted him, "Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful of the steps!"
The old emperor glanced at Fang Xu, "What? There are no outsiders here! I have already achieved Zen status! Haven't I done enough for his family?"
Fang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at his toes.
Fang Xu clearly didn't open his mouth, but the Supreme Emperor seemed to hear a whisper, "It's not the old man who's scary, the scary thing is the old fool."
"What have you done for them? If it weren't for them, would you still be standing here? But without you, the emperor can still sit on the throne today!"
The Supreme Emperor looked sullen, "What did you say?"
Fang Xu raised his head in panic, but there was no fear on his face.
"Your Majesty? My servant didn't say anything?"
"You said it! Do you think I didn't hear it? Say it! Whose are you? Who placed you next to me?"
Fang Xu quickly let go of the emperor's hand and knelt down, "This slave belongs to the emperor!"
"Ha!" The Supreme Emperor pointed at him and sneered, "Gao Xing is gone, and there is no loyal person around me anymore!"
Fang Xu kowtowed, "Your Majesty, you really offend me by saying that! My crime deserves death! I must die now to apologize!"
Fang Xu got up and bumped against a pillar on the side.
The Emperor was startled by his decisiveness.
When Xiao Jinglou wiped his neck, if he had half the decisiveness of Fang Xu, he would not be imprisoned.
He had already "killed himself to become a benevolent person".
"Come back!" The Supreme Emperor shouted, "Did I tell you to die? Without my permission! You are not allowed to die!"
Fang Xu was stopped by several young eunuchs who rushed up after hearing the noise, so he didn't hit the pillar.
But the little eunuch who was standing in front of him was knocked down by him and knocked several meters away.
You can see how hard he worked!
The way the Supreme Emperor looked at Fang Xu was immediately different.
The Supreme Emperor grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously, "I wrongly blamed you!"
The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and told the others to step back, but he couldn't help but said to Fang Xu.
"I'm still worried about Wen Jin... Chen'er has taken the throne, and I have no other choice. But Wen Jin..."
Fang Xu frowned... He interrupted the emperor because he didn't want to hear this.
But still can't escape.
"Bring me Princess Huai!" the Supreme Emperor ordered.
Fang Xu coughed lightly, "She is the queen..."
"The enthronement ceremony hasn't been held yet! She's not the queen yet! Here comes Princess Chuanhuai!" The Supreme Emperor returned to the palace and sat on a chair.
Not far from his hand was a turtle and crane bronze incense burner.
White smoke billowed out from the incense burner.
The Supreme Emperor frowned, "Isn't this smell right?"
Fang Xu quickly said, "This is the tranquilizing incense specially ordered by the Supreme Emperor."
The Supreme Emperor shook his head, "No, no! The incense Wen Jin gave me originally smelled better than this one. It is calm and comfortable, and makes you feel refreshed and refreshed when you smell it. This incense is good, but it feels a little stuffy, and the quality is not as good as before."
Fang Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner, and while he was on guard against others, he wanted to use the good things they offered?
Is power so inflated?
Fang Xu said, "Back to the Emperor, this incense is the formula of the soothing incense donated by Princess Huai. It is made by the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Pharmacy, and the Imperial Incense Workshop."
The Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief, "She didn't make it with her own hands? Why? I want to use the incense she made with her own hands!"
