The emperor's pupils gradually dilated.

He struggled madly and yelled: "No! You can't kill me! I can't die! The world will be in chaos! You will lose more than you gain!"

While watching the show, Luo Jingfeng raised his head and added: "It's better not to announce the death, Your Majesty, you can go on your way with peace of mind. It won't affect the palace examination, nor will it affect the new emperor's ascension to the throne. It's even more impossible for the world to be in chaos!"

"You...you..." The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood again.

Zong Zhao took out a pill from his body.

He leaned forward and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know what this is?"

The emperor huddled back and said, "Poison... You want to poison me to death. How can you be so vicious!"

Zong Zhao squatted down and whispered, "This is what you asked Huaishui to feed His Highness. For ten years, you have worn down his body... I am not as cruel as you. I will not torture you for so long. Just one pill, and you can go and confess to the ancestors."

The emperor shook his head and refused, "No... I won't eat it. I don't want to die. I... Uh..."

The neck was clamped and the jaw was pried open.

The pill went down the throat and entered the emperor's internal organs, and soon caused a huge reaction in the body.

The toxicity was strengthened countless times, and the late emperor was sent away in less than a moment.

There were thunderstorms outside the palace, and silence inside the palace.

All the sins were put to an end.

Luo Jingfeng stood up from his chair and said, "I'll ask Eunuch Huang to come in and serve him. I'll announce the death in a few days. There's still one edict missing, asking the state to keep the mourning simple and reduce the 27 days to three days. Do you want to write it or do I?"

Zong Zhao stepped down and said, "I'll write it. Your writing looks too much like usurping the throne."

Luo Jingfeng sneered, "Why, do I look like someone who would rebel? Zong Zhao, you're involved too!"

Zong Zhao sat on the dragon chair and wrote, patiently explaining, "Although this edict only needs to be stamped with the imperial seal, someone will come to check the handwriting. You have a special relationship with Jin Cheng, so it's best to avoid suspicion."

This made Luo Jingfeng feel comfortable.

He is Cheng'er's uncle, and Zong Zhao is at most an adoptive father. Of the three of them, he is naturally the closest to Cheng'er.

Luo Jingfeng was proud and added: "Since we have to write an edict, let's write it together. Appoint me as the regent to handle state affairs on behalf of the new emperor. When Cheng'er grows up..."

Zong Zhao interrupted him: "Can you wait until he grows up if you do this?"

Luo Jingfeng was angry: "Without me on top to suppress him, won't those ministers eat Cheng'er?"

Zong Zhao raised his eyes solemnly and replied: "Appoint multiple regents. Otherwise, only you will be on top, which will prove that he is not in the right position. It is your Luo family who has taken the world away."

Luo Jingfeng said fiercely: "If it is confirmed, then it is confirmed. This world originally belongs to our Luo family. The throne is in my hands, and the military power is also in my hands. Whoever dares to disobey Cheng'er, I will kill his whole family first!"

Zong Zhao put down the pen and stopped writing.

Luo Jingfeng cannot be the regent, otherwise the people of the Luo family will go crazy.

He cannot let a former emperor fall and raise a new big trouble, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

"Why don't you write anymore?" Luo Jingfeng asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"

Zong Zhao repeated again: "Establish three assistant ministers, you, me, Prime Minister Shen, let Jin Cheng succeed to the throne openly."

Luo Jingfeng walked over and stared at him in a dangerous voice: "Zong Zhao, how dare you share power with me with Prime Minister Shen?"

Zong Zhao was not afraid of him, and asked back: "Most of the government affairs are handled by Prime Minister Shen, do you know how to read it?"

Luo Jingfeng roared: "What about you! What are you going to do!"

Zong Zhao raised the token of the Patrol City Division and said coldly: "The Patrol City Division has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, maybe they can resist It can't stop your army, but it is enough to cause chaos in the entire capital and the entire Chu. Once the two sides fight, everyone will know that you and Jincheng are plotting to usurp the throne. The iron hoof of Youguo will immediately step into our dynasty, and your nephew's throne will not be stable at all. "

"You...you!" Luo Jingfeng was so angry at Zong Zhao's sudden change of face that he shouted angrily, "Cheng'er is also your adopted son. How dare you treat him like this? Can you be cruel?"

Zong Zhao confronted him: "If you insist on being the regent, you will immediately know whether I can be cruel. "

The two generals were on the verge of a fight across a table.

Luo Jingfeng was cold-hearted, but he had a big soft spot here.

And Zong Zhao's eyes looked colder than his. In just a moment, Luo Jingfeng suddenly became unsure of the person in front of him, but after thinking about it, there was only the threat of the prince.

Luo Jingfeng clenched his fists and said sternly: "Zong Zhao, the late emperor's edict of enthronement has been written. This world belongs to Cheng'er. You and your prince should give up this idea. Don't try to use Cheng'er. With our Luo family, Chu Heng can't take the throne!"

Zong Zhao said: "Your Highness and I have never thought of using Jin Cheng."

"You'd better do this!"

Luo Jingfeng weighed the pros and cons and finally compromised for his nephew.

This civil war cannot be fought.

He can't fall out with Zong Zhao.

Luo Jingfeng took a step back: "I agree to set up assistant ministers, but the King of Zhennan must be added."

The Luo family must occupy half of the four assistant ministers.

Zong Zhao knew that this was the maximum Luo Jingfeng could give, so he sat down again and picked up the pen: "I will continue writing."

Luo Jingfeng: "!"

He had ten thousand dirty words in his heart.

The edict was written and the jade seal was stamped.

Eunuch Huang was summoned in. When he saw the emperor's body, he quickly closed his eyes, knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the Duke of Protectorate and the General."

Luo Jingfeng was in a bad mood, and seeing Eunuch Huang made him even more angry. He stepped forward and asked, "You know everything the emperor did, right?"

Eunuch Huang replied in despair, "Yes."

Not only did he know, but he personally ordered some things to be done. There was no pure fool around the emperor's chief steward.

Now that the imperial power has changed, he is destined to die, and his family will also be killed.

Eunuch Huang knew it all.

"Okay, okay." Luo Jingfeng turned around and said to him, "The late emperor kept the death a secret. If you cooperate with us to assist the new emperor to ascend the throne, I will spare your family's lives."

Eunuch Huang looked up in surprise and said, "Thank you, Lord Protector of the Country. I will do my best to serve you!"

Luo Jingfeng directed him to clean up the late emperor's body.

"The dragon robe is complicated to make, and it can't be made in one night. Cheng'er is young and can't wear adult clothes. If I had known, I would have asked someone to make it in advance." Luo Jingfeng muttered irritably.

Zong Zhao didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Making the dragon robe in advance would consume a huge amount of manpower, and it would be easy for people to discover that he had the intention of treason.

Zong Zhao said to Eunuch Huang: "The emperor had a celebration next month, so he asked the embroidery room to reduce the size of the newly made dragon robe. I'll tell you the size."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Zong Zhao looked at the sky outside and said to Luo Jingfeng: "The palace examination will be held as usual tomorrow, but the morning court has been cancelled on the day of the palace examination. All officials are not all here, which is not conducive to the announcement of the imperial edict."

Luo Jingfeng replied: "This is easy. I will ask the palace to notify all officials to come to the morning court as usual in the name of the late emperor."

Zong Zhao reminded him: "The time of the palace examination is one hour later than the morning court."

Luo Jingfeng snorted and said: "Then let them wait outside to welcome the new emperor into the palace. Why are you looking at me like that? They just stand for an hour. I didn't even let them kneel and wait."

Zong Zhao turned around and arranged other things.
