His Majesty Meow Raises Fish [Rebirth]

Within half a year, His Majesty fell ill again.

The situation this time is not as dangerous as last time. Although His Majesty didn't wake up much, he has been recovering slowly, so the Queen Mother didn't let the princes watch by.

Especially when the new year is approaching, the emperor can't manage affairs, and the affairs have become onerous. The princes are all in the official office, busy with their own affairs.

Everyone got the news that His Majesty woke up and summoned the princes, elders of the clan and important officials of the court to Zichen Palace, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they all rushed to the palace as quickly as possible.

Qi Jing noticed that the faces of the emperor brothers were different from usual, and they didn't even raise their heads to make eye contact with others, so they knew that what they thought should be the same as what he thought, that's why they were so nervous.

Outside the hall, the elders of the clan and courtiers waited in the side hall, while the princes first entered the emperor's bedroom.

At this time, the queen mother was also there, listening to what the envoy of the imperial hospital had to say by the couch.

Qi Jing and the others walked in quietly, waited respectfully aside, and waited for the Empress Dowager to finish speaking with the envoy before they all came forward to pay their respects.

The queen mother glanced at them, then turned her head and looked at the people on the couch: "Your Majesty, they are here."

The rest of the people were about to step forward when they heard a familiar but weak voice from the couch: "Where is Lao Qi, where is Lao Qi?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, even Qi Jing himself was surprised, for some reason his father woke up and wanted to find him.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have already said something to His Majesty, so she didn't express any surprise. Her tone was tinged with comfort, as if she was not speaking to the emperor, but just a mother talking to her son: "Lao Qi is also here."

After a while, the emperor on the couch started to move, and Tong Hai who was standing beside him immediately stepped forward and helped His Majesty up.

Although he was older than the emperor, but looking at it now, he was much healthier than the emperor.

The royal family seemed to have paid other prices while receiving the divine power bestowed by the gods. The offspring of the royal family of Kyushu never lived long, and very few of them lived beyond the seventies.

At this time, it was the end of the 23rd year of Yuanzhang, and His Majesty had been ill for two consecutive times like this, which was really worrying.

Qi Jing originally thought that in her previous life, at least when she died, her father was still there, but now seeing her father like this, she felt sad for no reason.

——His majestic and omnipotent father seems to be inevitably old... They have all been sheltered by him, but now they are powerless against his aging and illness.

After the emperor got up, the princes finally saluted properly. They all lowered their heads, unable to see the way the emperor looked at them, which was stern and loving.

When seeing the second prince, Qi Jun showed a gratified expression on his face, and then looked at Lao Qi and Xiao Shi who was snuggling beside him.

After another moment of silence like this, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Stay flat, I called you into the palace today because I have something to say...let everyone else come over."

The emperor's words seemed to strike a big drum in everyone's hearts, even Qi Jing's mind was buzzing.

Most of the people present were very excited, but they were trying their best to suppress their emotions, not to lose their composure in front of His Majesty.

When the clan and important ministers entered, the emperor no longer spoke slowly as before, but straight to the point: "I called you this time because I intend to establish a crown prince... Wang Qing, you should draw up the decree."

Zhongshuling Wang Xu did not dare to delay and neglect, and immediately led the edict to go forward and listen to His Majesty's oral order to draft the edict.

Therefore, at the end of the 23rd year of Yuanzhang, Qing Emperor was ill and became the crown prince, and Qi Heng, the second son of the emperor, was registered as the crown prince.

……

His Majesty just established the reserve without warning...

Or it can't be said that there is no sign at all.

Since the corruption case in the 22nd year of Yuanzhang, His Majesty has been feeling unwell due to overwork. Later, the second prince almost died on Shaohai. It is easy to raise it back, but it will be seriously ill again in winter.

With the five princes appointed as king consuls, the emperor seemed to have more than enough energy in the government. Two consecutive serious illnesses not only affected the clan and courtiers, but also had a huge impact on the emperor's heart.

At this time, Li Chu, although a little surprising, is also reasonable.

It's just that not everyone can accept the candidate for the crown prince calmly.

Qingzhou's practice of establishing a prince has always been to establish a heir. If the emperor has no heirs, he will be a virtuous son. Each of the princes has his own advantages. If he is a virtuous son, even the emperor may have different considerations.

Before the official canonization of the crown prince, His Majesty took out the imperial edict to confer the concubine Yu as empress, which can be regarded as rectifying the name of Prince Heng.

Only then did everyone know that the emperor had already planned this when he woke up after his first serious illness, but the decree of posthumous title was kept secret, and no one else knew about it except Zhongshuling Wang Xu who participated in drafting the imperial edict.

At this moment, this edict is taken out together with the edict of Li Chu, not to mention what the eldest son of the emperor thinks, some people are really shocked at the moment, full of disbelief, and don't know what to say and what to do. There is no other way.

Your Majesty is determined to make Prince Heng the crown prince, so the meaning of respecting his mother first and protecting Qi Heng obviously hurt the hearts of others.

Of course, Qi Heng and Qi Jing were not included in these people who were stung.

Although there are still worries, in Qi Jing's heart, there is still a sense of relief that one thing has settled.

From the fact that the decree of pursuing concubine De as empress has been kept secret, Qi Jing can see that the emperor has not made up his mind before.

Although he didn't know what prompted his father to make up his mind, he was happy all in all.

For this position, they fought to the death in their previous life, but Qi Jing's own ending was very tragic anyway.

But the position of the crown prince has been settled, unless something goes wrong with the second emperor brother, unless someone dares to rebel, then the fight about the crown prince should be calmed down.

Just when everyone was about to leave Zichen Palace, the emperor suddenly said that he wanted to see Xiao Shiyi, and asked the little prince to stay and ask questions.

His Majesty just woke up and said that he would keep his youngest son to see him, which seemed not surprising.

Even if this little prince is not awakened, but he is Yao'er after all, His Majesty is afraid that he will be frightened, so it is right to love him a little more.

But the few princes in the Zichen Palace heard their father asking the seventh prince just now, and now they want to keep the eleven... Keeping the eleven is actually the same as keeping the seventh prince!

Thinking of this, the princes couldn't help thinking about it, trying to guess why the emperor paid so much attention to Lao Qi.

Qi Jing and Qi Heng, who had just been registered as the prince, looked at each other, Qi Heng passed by him and whispered to remind him to pay attention, Qi Jing replied "Don't worry", and then took Xiao Shiyi back to the emperor's bedroom .

When Qi Jing and the little prince were no longer in sight, the fifth prince stepped forward and said: "My brother congratulates the emperor."

Now that Prince Heng is the crown prince, the rest of the brothers call themselves "brothers", how could it be more appropriate?

When he said this, others naturally surrounded him - no matter what, when the two decrees were officially made known to the world, Prince Heng would be a justifiable prince.

Afterwards, the fifth prince seemed to think of something, and said again: "I don't know what the father left Lao Qi and what he wanted to tell him. Just now when the father woke up, he called Lao Qi, it sounded like he was very worried about him..."

The fifth prince was also in a daze after hearing the decree just now, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

What he had been chasing for so long fell into someone else's purse, and now Qi Xun felt nothing but resentment.

Regarding His Majesty's performance just now, it would be hard for people to believe that the sudden establishment of Qi Heng as the crown prince has nothing to do with Lao Qi.

He couldn't figure out what valued his father, Lao Qi, a prince who hadn't awakened and was not outstanding in civil and military skills, even after he became a crown prince, he had to find a way to keep him talking.

The fifth prince didn't believe that Qi Heng didn't care about this matter at all, and didn't mind Qi Jing being favored at all.

Qi Heng seemed not to understand what he was implying, and said softly: "Lao Qi and 11 are the youngest, not to mention the end of the year is approaching, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are the heaviest, and Lao Qi has just become a consul, so it is natural for the father to be concerned."

Seeing Qi Heng's innocent look, the fifth prince, whether he believed it or not, still showed a strange expression on his face.

Qi Heng didn't say much to them anymore, but before leaving the palace, he couldn't help but look back at the Zichen Palace, as if he had some doubts that this was a dream... a sweet dream.

It was the sleeping palace of Qingzhou emperors in the past dynasties, representing supreme honor and rights.

Now he seems to be getting closer and closer to the palace.

Xiao Shiyi knew that the second emperor's brother had been canonized as the prince, but he didn't realize how big a change this would be to Qi Heng and to them.

The atmosphere in the palace just now made him a little nervous, and he was going to meet his father alone soon, the little guy was inevitably a little nervous, grabbed Qi Jing's heart, and shrank into his arms.

Xiao Shiyi was one year older the next year, and now he is not as huggable as he was when he was a child.

Except that Shaoxuan hugged him just as easily, it was already difficult for others to take him for a long distance.

But when entering and exiting the Zichen Palace, Qi Jing hugged him to avoid losing his composure.

Without those people just now, the Zichen Palace looks particularly deserted at the moment.

When Qi Jing passed by, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital was taking His Majesty's pulse together with several imperial physicians. The two brothers waited silently for a while, and waited for the imperial physicians to leave before stepping forward under the emperor's call.

"Hold Eleven to me." The emperor on the bed ordered the seventh prince.

Qi Jing then took a few steps forward, and put Xiao Shiyi down. The little guy supported the side of the bed, and looked timidly at his father, who was already a little old.

Qi Jun stretched out his hand and touched Little Eleven's little head. Seeing that the little guy's neck was shortened, he was not angry, but smiled a little: "I don't think so on weekdays, but looking at it this way, Eleven looks so good. It's high."

Glancing at the back of Eleven's head, Qi Jing nodded: "All the nuns in the house say that Eleven looks better than children of this age."

Although the suspicion of saying auspicious words to curry favor with the prince cannot be ruled out, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the little guy is strong.

"In a flash, you have been away from the palace for two years..." The emperor seemed to think of something he missed, and closed his eyes for a while.

Qi Jing didn't dare to disturb his father's thinking, seeing Xiao Shiyi turned his head and signaled him to be obedient with his eyes, the little guy turned his head obediently, and continued to lie on the bedside, listening to his father.

Afterwards, the emperor asked Qi Jing a few more questions about the Ministry of Rites, and helped him sort out his thoughts, which was a little bit of a treat for the Seventh Prince.

Just when Qi Jing thought that his father was really worried about the Ministry of Rites and left him in the name of Eleven, he heard the emperor say:

"Old Seven, I had a dream..."
