Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era
Chapter 205 The Old Emperor Passes Away
In the hall, some people were worried that they had not seen the situation clearly early on. They deeply regretted not taking the initiative to make friends with King Sheng before, and they felt very panicked.
Some people are calm, but secretly excited.
Some people were so frightened that they could no longer stand.
At this point, even those who were slow to react had guessed that the person behind the incident at Dong Bohou Mansion a few days ago was none other than the silent Prince Sheng.
When the people in the bedroom at the back suddenly could no longer hear the noise coming from the front hall, they became so nervous that their breathing almost stopped.
Concubine Song was anxiously waiting for her son who had not returned, and her silk handkerchief was soaked with sweat.
The steady footsteps struck the eardrums of everyone in the bedroom.
who is it?
Whose footsteps are they?
The people in the hall speculated silently.
The door of the inner hall was pushed open, and a tall and majestic figure walked into the hall.
Emperor Dong Cang tried hard to stay awake, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not hold up his heavy eyelids, and he was still sobbing.
"Who? Who?"
"Cangyu, where is my son? Where is my son Cangmin?"
When Concubine Song saw who was coming, she was horrified.
"Take her down."
The guards behind Prince Sheng stepped forward and picked up Concubine Song like a chicken. They also drove out the eunuchs, maids and palace maids who served her out of the bedroom.
There was silence in the hall.
Doctor Li and two other imperial doctors moved and knelt by the wall, while two university scholars from the Hanlin Academy also knelt in the corner, trembling.
"Your Majesty, the rebellion of Cangxun, the Prince of Shen, and Cangmin, the Prince of Ning, has been suppressed by the defense battalion. The Prince of Shen and the Xibohou party have been captured. The Prince of Ning has fled, and his accomplice, the Minister of War Jia Yihai, has been captured."
Emperor Dong Cang looked at the tall figure and listened to the cold report, feeling very disappointed.
The son whom I had the least hope for and had given the least care to turned out to be the one who grew up the fastest.
The chaos was brought under control without bloodshed.
Are you saying that you are blind?
Or am I just being stupid?
"Yu'er, I'm very happy that you were able to control the chaos so quickly and prevent it from causing greater disasters. I feel that my time is running out. Dongcang, I entrust it to you."
He tried to raise his head, as if looking for someone.
Eunuch Jiang quietly stepped forward and asked, "Are you looking for the two masters from the Hanlin Academy?"
He lay down dejectedly, his eyelids indicating that Eunuch Jiang had guessed correctly.
"Master Yang, Master Zhang, please come forward and listen to my orders."
"Yes!"
The two adults got up, bowed to the bed, and knelt down again.
Emperor Dong Cang raised his eyelids with difficulty.
"Draft an edict. I have decided to pass the throne to Prince Sheng Cangyu."
"Yes!"
The two adults quickly stepped back and went to the outer room to discuss and draft the decree.
"Prince Sheng, since I have passed the throne to you, there is one thing I want to tell you about the secrets of the royal families of the four countries."
Eunuch Jiang signaled the kneeling imperial physicians to withdraw.
Only Emperor Dongcang and Prince Sheng Cangyu were left in the bedroom.
"Go, push down the tenth brick in the third row on the opposite wall."
Cangyu followed his instructions and pressed the wall tile, and a small hole popped up.
"Take the things out."
Emperor Dongcang was weak and powerless.
Cangyu reached out and took out an iron plate. The moment he touched it, he knew what it was.
“Cangyu, there are four key cards in total.
When the four countries rose up in arms, they attacked the palace of the Lan Dynasty almost at the same time.
The palace was empty at that time.
The generals of the four countries, now the emperors of the four countries, decided to turn the imperial palace upside down to find the endless wealth accumulated by the Lan Dynasty.
Finally, a secret passage was found in the back garden.
The four of them followed their personal guards into the secret passage. After a quarter of an hour, they saw only an open gate.
There should be an underground secret room there, but unfortunately, the door cannot be opened no matter what.
After searching for many days, the eunuch Du Gonggong was found in the mezzanine of a palace.
He was Lan Di's personal eunuch. Under severe torture, he revealed the method of opening the iron gate.
Only with four lotus-shaped key cards and the bloodline of the Lan Dynasty can the door to the secret room be opened.
As for what treasure was hidden in the secret room, Eunuch Du just said he had no idea.
So, after digging deep into the ground, they finally found four lotus-shaped key plates.
The key was inserted and many people's blood was cut, but the door still could not be opened, so they finally gave up.
The four of them discussed and decided to each take a key card and search for the Lan family bloodline separately. Whoever could find it could get half of the wealth, and the other half would be divided equally among the three countries.
Thirty years have passed, and no one knows whether there are any descendants of the Lan family still alive.
That year, Emperor Beiyan used this information to exchange for the life of Marquis Dongbo with me. He said that he had accurate information that the orphan of the Lan family had drifted to Dongcang.
I sent people to search secretly for more than ten years, but no similar person was found.
This matter came to no avail, and I was accused of killing loyal ministers and good generals.
I am very heartbroken now, and I don’t know how I will face my old friends when I get there.”
Emperor Dong Cang's voice became weaker and weaker, and he looked very weak after he finished speaking in a disjointed manner.
Emperor Dong Cang's hazy vision saw a woman with a big belly, looking at him coldly, walking past him and towards the tall figure.
"Concubine Sheng, Concubine Sheng, is that you?"
Emperor Dong Cang's mumbling made Cang Yu frown.
"You ordered the poisoning of my mother?"
Cangyu's tone was cold, and he showed no mercy to the man lying on the bed confessing.
"I'm sorry, she heard something she shouldn't have heard."
"Is this what you said about killing the general who helped expand the territory in exchange for benefits and listening to slander? Is this your confession to your friend and mother?"
Cangyu was filled with coldness.
His fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds, and he wished he could punch this inhuman king to death with one punch.
"I am not wrong. I did it all for Dong Cang."
Emperor Dong Cang's eyes tried hard to focus, and his mind became clear for a moment.
"You refuse to believe that you are wrong, and I don't want to argue with you anymore.
The confession of repentance you promised cannot be avoided because of your death.
After you die, I will write it for you, publish it for you, and burn a copy for you so that you can take it to Dong Bohou and his son below, and ask the Heaven to hold you accountable for your crime.
As for my mother and my brothers and sisters, I don't expect them to forgive you, I just hope you will stop bothering them and put an end to this evil fate in this life."
He frowned as he looked at the old man who was quickly fading away on the bed. He stretched out one arm as if trying to grab something, but in the end, it fell limply.
The hall was deathly silent.
Cangyu watched coldly, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Eunuch Jiang hurriedly brought the imperial physician into the palace.
Doctor Li knelt forward, stretched out his hand to feel Eunuch Jiang's pulse, and shook his head at him.
Eunuch Jiang's heart-wrenching cries were heard from the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, you are dead!"
The court officials who were waiting in the front hall, upon hearing the faint crying, knelt down on the ground at the same time.
Not long after, the death knell rang in the imperial palace, and the deep and heavy sound spread throughout the city of Kyoto.
Two grand secretaries of the Hanlin Academy came to the hall holding the imperial edict in their hands. All the ministers knelt on the ground to receive the order and supported Prince Sheng Cangyu to succeed as the new emperor.
Cangyu appointed officials to prepare for the old emperor's funeral and strode out of the palace.
