As Xu Ze said, on the second day after Chu Yi returned to the court, the officials were summoned to Chu Zhao's bedroom, and then Xu Ze took action to wake up Chu Zhao who had been in a coma and explain the final matters.

It didn't take long for the silver needle to pierce the acupuncture point, and Chu Zhao, who was unconscious, opened his eyes leisurely.

The pitch-black star pupils were still bright, but they lacked the radiance of the past.Chu Zhao blinked, shifted his eyes slightly, glanced at Chu Yi who was standing by, and then smiled gently as usual: "Ah Yi, you are back."

He laughed heartily and without faking it.Being able to wake up means that the development of things is not out of control.Regardless of whether the black hand behind the scenes was exposed or not, at least Chu Yi returned safely, and the kings failed to seize the imperial power, otherwise he would not have a chance to wake up, and would just die silently in a coma.Maybe three to five days at most, or maybe another ten days and a half a month, but after all, there is no escape.

Chu Yi looked at Chu Zhao's weak appearance, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak, but nodded heavily.

Chu Zhao didn't care about her gaffe, just stared at her for a while, then looked away.Xu Ze had already retreated far away, Prime Minister Zhang and the six ministers stood on one side, several prestigious old princes from the clan stood on the other side, and important ministers in the court gathered in the bedroom, far away keep watch.

"Everyone is here. It just so happens that I still have some things to tell you." Chu Zhao spoke softly, his voice was low and weak, but it still spread out in this quiet bedroom, and it fell on everyone with no seriousness. individual ears.

Chu Yi finally spoke. She half-kneeled beside Chu Zhao's bed, grabbed his still-cold hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Huang, don't tell me, can you hold on? Tell me How can it not be counted if you have everything?!"

Chu Zhao sighed, looking at Chu Yi with deep helplessness.He knew that parting from life and death was not easy. He had sent off many younger brothers and sisters and was very sad every time, so he especially cherished this sister, Chu Yi.But now it's Chu Yi's turn to see him off, and he doesn't want her to be sad, but he can't decide everything.

The movement of raising his hand seemed to exhaust all his strength, Chu Zhao touched Chu Yi's head, with a sense of comfort, but said nothing.

The warmth is only for a moment, and the weak emperor doesn't have so much time to waste. He turned to the officials and said seriously: "I have been weak since I was a child, and now my lifespan is nearing the end of my life, and I can't return to heaven. Only my father's line is left With Chu Yi, I have never had any heirs, but fortunately, the imperial sister has both ability and political integrity, and she is worthy of being a king, and I will be passed on to her today, and I hope you will help me wholeheartedly."

Chu Zhao spoke these words unhurriedly, and they clearly fell into the ears of everyone present.

The scene was silent for a moment, and it was still the mature and prudent Prime Minister Zhang who was the first to agree: "I will obey His Majesty's holy will."

This is really nothing to dispute, and the succession of the throne has never been decided by these courtiers.What's more, Chu Zhao has no heirs. If the throne is not passed to Chu Yi, is it going to pass to other clan princes?It's not that the state of Chu has never had female emperors, and the two female emperors were both Youdao Mingjun, so it's not unusual to have a third female emperor, at least it's not unacceptable.

As Prime Minister Zhang's words fell, all the ministers said one after another: "I would like to obey His Majesty's holy will."

In front of the clan and all the ministers, Chu Zhao's heart was half relieved when the throne was passed on clearly.As soon as the mind relaxes, the feeling of weakness in the body suddenly surges up again, so weak and tired that people can't wait to close their eyes and fall asleep immediately.

Chu Zhao's eyes closed slightly, and Chu Yi was so frightened that he quickly shook his hand and shouted, "Brother Huang, Brother Huang..."

After being shaken twice, Chu Zhao opened his eyes again.He managed to pull himself together, smiled at Chu Yi as if to appease, and said to everyone: "The imperial sister is young, she has just ascended the throne, and she still needs assistance. I was in a coma for many days before, and there must be someone among the kings who has returned to Beijing to preside over the overall situation." Yes, this time I just stay here, and I will also take care of the imperial sister for me."

No one present was stupid, and as soon as Chu Zhao finished speaking, they all understood what he meant, and those who secretly stood in the camp of a certain prince thumped in their hearts, and secretly yelled that it was not good.

The foundation of the vassal kings is in the fiefdom, and they may not be able to come to the capital once a year. Even if there are some connections and forces here, how can it compare to the fiefdom with money, food and soldiers?If the kings stayed in the capital, they would have to rely on the holy will and grace to live, but they became the best hostages, so that the princes who stayed in the fief did not dare to act rashly.Moreover, what Chu Zhao said was to take care of him, not to assist him, and he didn't mean to give any real power. Even if the kings wanted to bully Chu Yi when he was young, fighting for power and profit in Beijing didn't have that name.What's more, judging from yesterday's situation, the Highness in front of me is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

This is considered a will, and there is no need to refute it, otherwise it will be a death penalty for resisting the decree!

The kings had a lot of trouble before, and no one knew whether Chu Yi would be liquidated after he ascended the throne, and whether this liquidation would fall on them?Everyone panicked, and those who were not deeply involved were already thinking about how to get out.

Just after Chu Zhao woke up, he didn't know anything about King Yue, but he simply wiped out all the ambitious people with a will, leaving Chu Yi with the best situation.

Two wills were announced in front of everyone, but the other matters had been arranged long ago without further words.

After waving everyone away, Chu Zhao still had some energy, so he smiled at Chu Yi and said, "Ah Yi, how is the weather today?"

Chu Yi subconsciously turned his head and glanced out of the window. The sky outside the window was blue, and the golden sun shone down, but it was not as intense as in midsummer. He said, "Today is a good day with crisp autumn air and bright sunshine."

Chu Zhao was lying on the dragon bed, but he couldn't see the outside, so he said, "That's good, I just want to go outside to bask in the sun."

Chu Yi pursed his lips, didn't say anything, ordered someone to lift the recliner into the hall, then helped Chu Zhao up on it himself, and ordered someone to carry him out of the bedroom, while he followed beside him.

The autumn sun swayed down, golden and dazzling, but it was warm when it shone on people, making people feel very comfortable.

Chu Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and then heard Chu Yi ask from the side: "Where does Brother Huang want to go?"

He thought about it, and said indifferently: "You don't have to go far, just go to the small garden of Chonghua Hall."

The burned main hall of Longteng Hall has been repaired, but Chu Zhao has not moved there yet, and still lives in the Chonghua Hall where he has lived for more than twenty years.

A group of people went to the small garden quietly. The palace people didn't dare to take a breath. They quietly carried them away, quietly put the deck chairs in the small garden, and then quietly retreated, leaving the space All were left to the two most honorable brothers and sisters in the Chu Kingdom.

Chu Zhao basked in the sun quietly with his eyes closed, and Chu Yi didn't bother him, just stood quietly watching his chest rise and fall, knowing that this person was still alive, he felt at ease.

Chu Zhao was named the prince since he was young, and he lived in Chonghua Palace for nearly 20 years.He seldom visited the imperial garden, and the small garden of the East Palace, and even the small garden of the Chonghua Palace, he was actually not particularly familiar with.Because he was too busy, he carried all the hopes of the first emperor and ministers, studied and practiced martial arts, and dealt with government affairs. He was the best since he was a child, but behind this excellence, he also paid too much.

Sitting leisurely in the small garden basking in the sun and smelling the fragrance of flowers like now, I don't know when was the last time.

To be honest, he was tired, very tired, even without the burden of his body, his heart was already overwhelmed.

After a long time, Chu Zhao opened his eyes leisurely, the sunlight was still a bit glaring, dazzling people's eyes.He glanced sideways, saw his younger sister who was standing by his side, and smiled lightly: "Ah Yi, I leave everything to you."

This sentence was both entrustment and relief. Chu Zhao watched Chu Yi's solemn answer, and then looked at her deeply for a while. After all, he said nothing, then slowly closed his eyes again, and then never opened them again.
