Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

How is the secretary and whether he can reach Malacca City safely? In fact, it is just a small matter. His mission is already considered Wancheng.

In fact, both the secretary and Jiro Koizumi were just dispensable people in Lin Yi's view.

Although it is said that Koizumi Jiro is in his own hands and he will have an excuse to use force against Sakura Country in the future, this is not the only excuse.

As long as he thinks about it, he can think of many excuses to use force against Sakura Country every minute.

But now that Koizumi Jiro has been rescued by him, Lin Yi still plans to meet Koizumi Jiro and comfort him.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation interrupted Lin Yi's plan.

His uncle, Emperor Yanqing of the Great Xia Empire, 56-year-old Zhao Xu suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma.

Although Zhao Xu was rescued after resuscitation, the imperial doctors told Prince Zhao He and Prince Rui Lin Yi that Zhao Xu suffered a stroke and might not be able to take charge of government affairs in the future.

Hearing the words of the imperial doctors, Zhao Xi and Lin Yi fell silent.

Now is a critical period in the development of the empire. Without the emperor in charge, many decisions will not be made. So for a moment, Lin Yi and Zhao He were a little at a loss.

But Lin Yi knew one thing, that is, he couldn't let this matter spread out now.

So, after Lin Yi asked Zhao Xi for his opinion, he ordered Fang Xiao to seal the palace gate and mobilize soldiers from the Beijing camp to enter the city.

The Beijing camp only belongs to the royal family and only obeys the orders of the royal family. This means that Lin Yi, who has commanded the Beijing camp before, has no way to command the Beijing camp at this time.

Therefore, at this critical period, it is very reasonable to move the Beijing camp into the city.

At the same time, Lin Yi also ordered Yinglong's army and Longxiang's army to prepare for level three wars in case of any eventuality.

Finally, Lin Yi and Zhao Xi came to the cabinet, called all the cabinet members together, and asked them to jointly handle government affairs, but they were not allowed to leave the cabinet.

The members of the cabinet also heard some rumors and knew that this was a critical period for the empire, so they had no dissatisfaction.

The members who can enter the cabinet can be said to be very loyal to Zhao Xu, so they don't want anything to happen at this time.

So in this way, the cabinet processed telegrams from various places while paying close attention to the situation in the palace.

As for the palace, only a few people knew about Zhao Xu's situation, including Zhao Xu's queen Zhang Yan.

Although Zhang Yan is a woman, she has also experienced higher education and knows the seriousness of the matter. He is also one of the few people who knows the truth about everything.

She is now worried about Zhao Xu's situation, and at the same time preparing for the worst.

If it is true that Zhao Xu never wakes up, then whose hands will the empire be handed over?

In Zhang Yan's opinion, there are only two people who can take over the empire at present. One is her biological son Zhao Xi, and the other is Prince Rui Lin Yi.

Zhao Xu has been groomed by Zhao Xu as his heir. It can be said that Zhao Xu's position as crown prince is very stable. Even Zhao Xu's other sons have no idea about Zhao Xi's position.

It can be said that Zhao Xu is absolutely qualified as a conservative and Mingjun.

But the problem is, Zhang Yan is very clear about Lin Yi's identity. Strictly speaking, Lin Yi is Zhao Xu's first son. He was adopted to the eldest princess only for some reasons.

If Lin Yi was a playboy as before, or Zhang Yan wouldn't even think about it and just chose to support his son.

Or, if Zhang Yan can be more selfish, she can also choose to support Zhao He.

But the problem is that Zhang Yan has always regarded Lin Yi's biological mother as her idol and has always looked up to her. Therefore, in the past few decades, she has been accustomed to refer to Lin Yi's biological mother in everything she does and consider the country.

When comparing Lin Yi and Zhao Xi, it is obvious that Lin Yi is definitely better than Zhao Xi.

The current situation in Daxia is entirely due to Lin Yi's hard work. With such achievements, no matter how selfish Zhang Yan was, she couldn't ignore it.

If Zhao Xi is the king of preservation, then Lin Yi is the king of pioneering.

This made Zhang Yan very entangled, not knowing who he should support.

However, Zhang Yan's entanglement did not last long. Zhao Xu woke up in the early morning of the third day after Zhao Xu fainted.

Although he can barely move his whole body now, his brain is still very clear.

He felt the condition of his body, and it was obvious that he was no longer fit to be emperor. After all, no emperor of an empire is a paralyzed cripple.

After Zhao Xu was distracted at the beginning, he thought clearly that he wanted to take the Zen position.

As for the object of the Zen position, to be honest, he is the same as Zhang Yan, or he is more entangled than Zhang Yan. Because both Zhao Xi and Lin Yi are his sons.

In the end, Zhao Xu decided to meet the two of them separately before making a decision.

So Zhao Xu summoned Wang Jinzhong, his personal eunuch, and asked him to call Zhang Yan first.

When Wang Jinzhong heard that Zhao Xu wanted to come to Zhang Yan, it must be for the sake of the throne, so Wang Jinzhong did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked people to invite Zhang Yan, but he himself was always guarding Zhao Xu.

Because now Wang Jinzhong doesn't know what Zhang Yan is thinking, he can only guarantee that he will obey Zhao Xu 100%, so in order to prevent Zhang Yan from being irrational after hearing some arrangements that are not conducive to Zhao He.

But it was obvious that Wang Jinzhong was wrong about this.

When Zhang Yan learned that Zhao Xu asked her to go over, she had already guessed what Zhao Xu wanted to say to her. So although Zhang Yan felt uneasy, she still walked towards Zhao Xu's bedroom.

When she stepped into Zhao Xu's bedroom and saw the weakness on Zhao Xu's face, Zhang Yan felt a little painful and distressed in her heart.

Zhao Xu saw Zhang Yan coming in. After he asked all the other servants to go out, he, Zhang Yan and Wang Jinzhong were the only three people left in the room.

Zhao Xu did not talk about other things in a roundabout way at this time, but directly asked Zhang Yan what he thought of the heir.

Zhang Yan is not the kind of person who is good for nothing. Sometimes, she will help Zhao Xu make decisions. In addition, Zhang Yan is strictly speaking from the woman he loves, so in many cases, Zhao Xu still respects Zhang Yan's opinions.

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, Zhang Yan lost her mind briefly at first, but the next second she realized that Zhao Xu was spying on her inner thoughts.

Of course, this can also be said to be a sign of Zhao Xu's respect for her.

Thinking of this, it was impossible for Zhang Yan not to be moved. Throughout the ages, when would the emperor ask the queen for her opinion on who he wanted to succeed?

In this case, Zhang Yan did not intend to hide her true inner thoughts, so she directly told Zhao Xu her thoughts.

In terms of character and ability, Zhao Xi is weaker than Lin Yi and can only be regarded as a conservative king. Lin Yi has a coercive personality and has his own opinions on the international situation and domestic development. With a little training, he can be regarded as a pioneering king.

But Lin Yi's identity has been hidden for more than thirty years, and now it is suddenly revealed to the world. I am afraid that even Lin Yi will have a hard time.
