Unparalleled Concubine

The emperor took a deep breath.

"Since last year, my health has been deteriorating, and I had to start planning for the crown prince. Therefore, after you transferred Chang'an to your northern expedition last year, you changed hands and moved to the southwest."

The emperor spoke intermittently. After he said he wanted this passage, he paused for a while before continuing.

"At that time, I thought, I would rather let me be the villain than let the prince do it."

Speaking of this, the emperor laughed at himself.

"Who knows, I underestimated you, Li Changan, and overestimated myself."

"I originally thought that the Hanzhou Army in the Southwest was at most a retreat from the Marquis of Jing'an's residence. I never thought that the Hanzhou Army could stop hundreds of thousands of Southwest soldiers, which is not inferior to the Pingnan Army back then... "

Having said that, the emperor looked at Li Xin.

"That's when I realized that you...have kept too many things from me."

"Things have developed all the way to the present, and they have far exceeded my grasp."

Having said so many words in one breath, the emperor was also a little tired, and he lay down on the dragon couch weakly, his voice was very low.

"It's also reached the point where I can't deal with it."

"Now, I'm about to die..."

The Son of Heaven was lying on the dragon couch with a frighteningly pale face. He looked at Li Xin who was sitting not far in front of him, his voice hoarse.

"I want to ask you..."

"...What is the intention?"

Chapter 812 Rebellious!

Emperor Taikang's health has deteriorated to the point where he is now. Although Li Xin doesn't understand what's wrong, he doesn't quite believe that it is really destiny.

If you speculate maliciously, the Zhang family in Longhushan may have made up such an excuse at random. The profession of emperor is not very easy to do, and the emperor does not like riding and shooting like the first emperor, so it is inevitable that he will get sick.

That is to say, the illness that the emperor suffered in the fifth year of Taikang was probably just a minor illness. After taking the medicine stone, he was poisoned maliciously by the lied Tianshi family to confirm the prophecy of the year.

But after thinking about it, doing this is a great crime to punish the nine clans. There is no need for the Zhang family in Longhushan to do this. After all, how to explain such things as destiny is just something they said casually. Even if the emperor lives a hundred years, it is okay. They said that this was the result of "extending" the emperor's life, and there was no need to take risks to murder the emperor.

There must be something hidden behind this incident, but Li Xin can't afford to think about it now.

He sat on the chair and after a moment of silence, he said, "Your Majesty has known me for ten years. Your Majesty should know me a little bit. If I really had the ambition to be an emperor, I could have bowed my head and become Li Xin's son. After Li Chun's death, there is a high probability that I can take over the Pingnan Army, there is no need to make such a big detour, and then engage in any conspiracy."

The Son of Heaven looked pale.

"Then what happened to the Hanzhou Army?"

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "Mu Ying of the Hanzhou Army is considered friends with me. Back then, he helped me take down Jincheng, and I wanted to give them a foothold, so I handed Hanzhou City over to the Mu family. His Majesty also knew about this matter at the beginning, and nodded in agreement."

"The imperial court conquered Hanzhou for no reason, whether in public or private, I can't turn a blind eye."

Having said that, Li Xin raised his head and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty said that Hanzhou is my private soldier. This is completely unreasonable. I have been in the capital for so many years. How can I remotely control the southwest? I may be able to influence the Hanzhou army, but at most it is just influence."

"There is no affection, which is comparable to the word interest."

The emperor's voice was hoarse.

"What about Ray that day?"

He hadn't been able to sleep for several days. At this moment, both eyes were bloodshot. He tried to open them wide and looked at Li Xin.

"What is your intention to hide this thing?"

In the end, it still can't get around this matter.

Li Xin took a deep breath, with a calm face: "Your Majesty also knows that this thing has been in possession since the third year of Taikang, but until last year, it wasn't just that I didn't hand it over to the court, nor did I hand it over to Southwest."

"If it hadn't been for General Pei's expedition to the west, this thing might have been buried in the grave with the minister."

The emperor sneered "hoho".

"Then you gave this thing to Southwest now, so you should also give me a share?"

Li Xin lowered his head and remained silent.

The Son of Heaven looked straight at Li Xin and didn't speak for a long time.

His physical condition at this time was extremely bad. In the past one or two months, all the political affairs of the court and China were entrusted to Shang Shutai, and the emperor no longer had the energy to deal with government affairs.

"Chang'an."

Li Xin lowered his head slightly: "The minister is here."

"Give this to me."

The Son of Heaven's voice was hoarse, and a little low. If it wasn't for the two of them left in the hall, Li Xin might not be able to hear what he was saying clearly.

"I don't need it either."

The emperor couldn't speak very well, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhen...will lock it up and hand it over to the prince. Dajin can use this kind of thing, but he can't."

He said intermittently: "You give this thing... to Zhen, and the crown prince ascends the throne, and you are... the emperor's teacher, the assistant minister! The Li family can... Duke forever!"

Li Xin still lowered his head and did not speak.

Such words are unbelievable, even when the emperor is about to die.

"Your Majesty, the Southwest...has not obtained the prescription for Tianlei, and I promise Your Majesty that they will never take the initiative to use this thing. As soon as the Southwest is peaceful, this thing will be hidden for a day."

Having said that, Li Xin paused.

"And Your Majesty should know something about it. This sky thunder... is good at defense but not good at attack. It is basically impossible to use it to attack cities and land. It poses no threat to the Jin court..."

The emperor stared at Li Xin firmly.

Then he coughed violently, the coughing was heart-rending, as if he wanted to cough up all the internal organs.

Xiao Zheng, who was waiting outside the hall, rushed in immediately, asked his subordinates to bring a bowl of soup that had already been boiled, and fed it to the emperor.

After drinking the decoction, Tianzi's cough subsided a bit, and he waved his hand to make Xiao Zheng and others take a few steps back, and then he glanced at Li Xin with an ugly expression.

"Are you determined not to give it to me?"

Li Xin bowed his head deeply.
