The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The lights are bright.
Emperor Hongwu woke up slowly and opened his eyes to see the white-bearded imperial doctor.
"Your Majesty is awake!"
The old doctor's voice was filled with joy. He really killed Emperor Hongwu, and most likely his whole family was buried with him.
Emperor Hongwu said softly: "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Two hours!"
Eunuch Yuan said in a low voice: "I have informed Master Yang and Commander Chen, but the harem does not know yet."
Emperor Hongwu nodded with satisfaction. This had been planned for a long time. His trust in Eunuch Yuan deepened in his heart and he ordered.
"Let them come in."
After saying that, he turned to look at the old doctor: "I, how long will it take?"
The old doctor knelt on the ground and said subconsciously: "Long live your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongwu said: "I want to hear the truth!"
The old doctor hesitated for a long time, wanting to say that this was the truth, but fearing that he would be deceiving the emperor, he finally boldly said, "I probably won't make it through this autumn!"
The Lord of Autumn tortures and kills, and all things wither.
At this time.
Two sounds of kneeling and worshiping were heard, it was Yang Si, the chief assistant of the dynasty, and Chen Shen, the commander of the Zhenfu Division.
"Everyone, get up."
Emperor Hongwu waved his hand to the imperial physician and the palace maids to leave, leaving only four monarchs and ministers in the palace: "My time is running out. In the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne, I will need two internal and external assistants."
A strange color flashed in Yang Si's eyes, and he listened quietly.
Chen Shen said sadly: "Long live your Majesty..."
The Zhenfu Division is Daqing's secret service, responsible for monitoring hundreds of officials, rivers and lakes. It has always been held by the emperor's cronies. Once the new emperor secures the throne, the commander will inevitably be replaced.
"I've been hearing this all my life, but in the end I won't even live to be eighty. Now it sounds a bit harsh."
Emperor Hongwu said slowly: "Yang Aiqing, you were promoted to Chief Assistant the year before last. Do you know the reason?"
Yang Si looked at the aging Majesty, with only those deep and bright eyes. Suddenly, an idea flashed and he replied: "I once served as a student in the East Palace, and later taught my great-grandson to read!"
Grandson!
Eunuch Yuan and Chen Shen were shocked. They never expected that Emperor Hongwu would pass the throne across generations.
When the King of Wei becomes a vassal, it is not that there is no prince in the palace, but he has not yet had a title. He can definitely choose a prince and establish him as heir apparent.
"I once thought about passing it on to Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi. I secretly observed their temperament. Maybe they were born in a deep palace and raised as women. They are too pampered and cannot take on big responsibilities!"
Emperor Hongwu said: "On the contrary, my great-grandson, who has been in northern Xinjiang for several years, looks quite good. At least he knows the sufferings of the people."
Yang Si suppressed the surprise in his heart and kowtowed: "I will do my best to assist Zuo Taisun!"
Chen Shen and Eunuch Yuan take orders from the leader. They are the eyes and knives of the new king, inside and outside.
Emperor Hongwu nodded and said, "I will appoint a heir in a few days. Yang Aiqing has already made preparations."
"According to the order."
Yang Si's mind was spinning, thinking about the former prince and his old friends, who could still be roped in to support the grandson.
The emperor does not have corresponding power just by sitting on that chair. He must unite most of the courtiers, otherwise he will not be able to leave the capital. Of course, Emperor Hongwu was the master of ZTE, and the succession edict he left behind would affect most officials.

Emperor Hongwu said: "I have been married to the queen for decades, and I can't bear to see her suffer in the cold palace. The imperial mausoleum has been repaired a long time ago. Let the queen go first, and I will arrive soon."
"According to the order."
Eunuch Wei bowed and agreed, and disappeared like a ghost.
Yang Si frowned slightly, vaguely guessing, and couldn't help but change his color in shock.
Emperor Hongwu sighed and said quietly.
"How will the history books evaluate me? Should I recognize the Golden Wolf King as my godfather? Prison and kill my biological father? Or kill my son and wife..."
…
Cold palace.
The night wind rustled.
Zhou Yi woke up from his deep sleep and heard the sound of footsteps landing.
Even if it is subtler than the sound of the wind, ears blessed with the Listening and Breathing Technique can easily distinguish it.
When the imperial power changes, any stranger must be on guard. Zhou Yi ran out of the window without caring about dressing, and ran to Queen Xia's room in three or two steps.
In the moonlight, a thin figure came out of the house.
"who?"
Zhou Yi had a look of horror on his face, not because he was shocked that the visitor was strange, but because he lost the sound of Queen Xia's breathing in his ears.
Eunuch Wei glanced at Zhou Yi, surprise flashed in his eyes, and he rose into the air to leave.
"There's an assassin!"
Zhou Yi circulated his true energy, roared loudly, and his body quickly expanded to the size of two feet. Driven by the violent force, his speed was not weaker than Wei Eunuch's Qinggong.
"Huh?"
Eunuch Wei raised his eyebrows, turned around and exchanged palms with Zhou Yi.
winter!
Like drums, like thunder.
Zhou Yi retreated violently, smashing two walls. He felt a strange energy as cold as ice, destroying and corroding his body along his meridians.
The number of alien Qi is small, but it is extremely tough and difficult to suppress. Zhou Yi can only suppress it with hundreds of times Qi.
Eunuch Wei didn't fare much better. He flew dozens of feet upside down. After landing, he performed Qinggong and disappeared into the moonlight.
Zhou Yi suppressed the alien energy and had no intention of chasing the assassin. His golden body broke through the door arrogantly and saw Queen Xia who had lost all breath.
"Damn it!"
"You should have thought of it earlier."
Lao Lu's voice came from behind: "Even you don't believe that the queen is crazy, and your majesty won't believe it either!"
Zhou Yi dispelled his golden body and returned to his normal body shape. His whole body was shiny, and his clothes were shattered when he used the technique: "What if the empress is really crazy?"
Lao Lu said: "That will save you the pain."
Zhou Yi said in a deep voice: "Is this the loving couple that has been together for decades?"
"Xiao Yizi, those couples who stay together till the end of their lives probably have no other better choice..."
Lao Lu threw a set of clothes and said, "Here comes someone. You look like this, it's disrespectful to say the least!"
The footsteps came a little late, and the leader was the supervisor on duty, Eunuch Cui.
Seeing the breathless Empress Xia, Eunuch Cui cried a few times as if she were a dead mother, and then summoned the Chongxin Hall to make arrangements for the funeral.
Zhou Yi looked at Eunuch Cui coldly. This man was said to be Queen Xia's confidant!
After working hard and diligently for half a year, it finally came to nothing, which was a big blow to Zhou Yi.
Cui Eunuch's spine felt cold, and he glanced at the cold palace, which was like a dragon rolling over. It happened to be the time when the queen was newly mourned, so he smiled and said with an expression uglier than crying.
"Eunuch Yi, we are in charge of this place. You can go and have a rest."
Zhou Yi returned to his residence with a gloomy face, calling on the Dantian Qi to kill the alien Qi.
The old deer came back slowly, found a quilt, and hung it on the broken window. The old man was afraid of the cold nights and dew, and he still wanted to live a few more years.
Zhou Yi asked: "Old Lu, your Majesty's plan has been completed. Why did your Majesty suddenly discover it?"
"It may not be that I just discovered it, but it may be that your Majesty's plan is consistent with His Majesty's purpose."
Lao Lu pondered for a moment and then said.
"Or perhaps Your Majesty can infer from the results,
No evidence is needed, whoever benefits will be suspected..."
