Although the emperor has woken up from his lethargy and his injuries are gradually stabilizing, the second prince exhausted all his strength, and the emperor's body is no longer as strong as when he was young. Fatigue and lack of energy are common. He would also spit out a mouthful of blood as a pastime.

According to the imperial doctor, the emperor should rest more and worry less. The injury should be recuperated, but some important papers still need to be reviewed by the emperor. The ministers come here every now and then, so there is no time to rest.

Jin Rong was busy supervising the country during the day, and returned to the emperor's bedroom to be a filial son at night, wishing he could be busy 36 hours a day.

Seeing Jin Rong lose weight round and round, the emperor felt very distressed.

The emperor wants Jin Rong to run to him less and rest more when he is free, so as not to make himself sick.

But Jin Rong still came over every day, and he couldn't let go if he didn't come to visit.

In fact, Jin Rong really has no rebellious thoughts, and his heart for power and position is not as serious as it is rumored outside.

Jin Rong was not born when Emperor Xian and Prince Yu competed for the position of crown prince, but just because he didn't experience it doesn't mean he didn't know the situation at that time.

The first emperor is the eldest son of Emperor Jingming, the orthodox heir to the throne. If he cannot ascend the throne as emperor, no matter which brother is in power, he will not let him go.

If you don't fight, you will definitely die. If you don't want to die, you can only fight, not to mention that it belongs to the late emperor.

It's the same when it comes to Jin Rong, he is the emperor's eldest son, and his mother is the emperor's original concubine, no one is more legitimate than him.

If he can't be enthroned as emperor, then none of the people in the East Palace will survive.

Jin Rong didn't want to die, but he didn't want the emperor to die either.

For him, the emperor has done what a father should do;

And he should also do what a son should do.

Under normal circumstances, the mastermind of the treason should be dealt with first, and then go to clean up other henchmen and the remaining small fish and shrimp.

But at that time, the emperor was assassinated and fell into a coma, and Jin Rong's full attention was on the emperor again. When the emperor woke up, someone asked how to deal with the treasonous trio, but the emperor avoided answering, and the others stopped talking when they saw the situation. This is the reason why the decree has not been issued.

Although the third prince's treason made the emperor feel angry, but he already knew that this son had an impure heart, so he was not too surprised that day.

But the second prince's attack really made him a little unresponsive, with a dagger hidden in his sleeve, he rushed over straight up, so what if he was killed?The prince was established, the emperor died, and the prince ascended the throne immediately.

Looking back now, the second prince's purpose is very simple, just to kill him, not for the throne, not for fame, but simply wants him to die.

Although the emperor did not die, he was indeed a little disheartened. He always favored Jin Rong, but he was also good to other sons. As a result, he taught a fool who wanted to rebel, and a rebellious son who wanted to kill his father.

If it wasn't for Jin Rong who was by his side, the emperor would really feel how failed his father was.

The emperor doesn't want to mention the rebellious son and uncle for the time being, and will have the fourth prince and fifth prince called when the injury improves a bit.

The two princes came to the emperor's bedroom, looked at the eunuch who was watching them covetously, both of them smiled wryly.

The one who forced the palace to rebel was Prince Yu, the one who wanted to rebel was the third prince, and the one who assassinated the emperor was the second prince, but it was the two of them who faced the emperor first.

Jin Rong is a filial son, a good son of the emperor, and they will be the targets of the eunuchs when it is their turn. They are afraid that they will attack the emperor as rebelliously as the second prince. How can such a different treatment be convincing.

The emperor wanted to know what dissatisfaction his son had with him?

The two princes kept silent at first, and only spoke intermittently later.

People's hearts are biased, the emperor treats his sons well, if there is no Jin Rong for comparison.

The emperor listened expressionlessly, and then waved them away. He lay on the bed and thought for a whole afternoon.

In this way, the time dragged on until November, and the emperor's condition went from good to bad, and Jin Rong could not wait to lock the imperial physician in the emperor's bedroom.

Seeing Jin Rong getting angry in a hurry, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and even the gloom between his brows dissipated a lot.

After the emperor figured it out, he directly called all the ministers to his bedroom.

The ministers looked at Jin Rong secretly, and they were puzzled when they saw him, and they were even more puzzled.

"Today I called all the ministers over to announce a few things." The emperor leaned half on the pillow, turned his head to look at the ministers, and said in a calm voice, "Prince Yu's line, Jin Xin's line, Jin Sen's line, The jade certificate was removed, demoted to a commoner, imprisoned in Fangshan, and could not leave for life. Prince Ran Yu, Jin Xin, and Jin Sen colluded with officials, violated the laws of the country, and intended to overthrow the imperial court. What they did was appalling and heinous .I think of my blood relatives, so as to save them the pain of lingering, and now I give poisoned wine to kill myself, and keep their whole body for another burial."

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. The result after waiting for so long was indeed a little surprising.

However, no one would jump out to intercede for them. Prince Yu was arrested instead of forcing the palace, but on the day of the rebellion, he had the idea of ​​killing the royal family. If he really interceded, he would offend the entire royal household registration book.

And looking at the emperor's indifferent expression and the hand on the wound, killing a father is a capital crime no matter where it is placed, and the emperor is already kind if he didn't cut his son alive.

Seeing that the ministers had no objections, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Jin Miao and Jin Yan are not young anymore, it's time to become kings. Then Jin Miao was named King of Pingjun, and Jin Yan was named King of Ningjun. The mansion will start construction immediately, as for the territory, it will be planned according to the previous imperial decree."

The imperial decree for his son's title had already been drawn up, but it was temporarily delayed because of the emperor's injury. This imperial decree was not much different from the previously drafted one, the only change was the title of title.

The ministers smashed their mouths, and no one objected. It is normal for the prince to be crowned king, and there is no place to go beyond this imperial decree. It's just that these two titles... are a bit subtle, but think about the three people who conspired against each other before. It is common sense to take such a title.

The emperor touched his wound, and couldn't help turning his eyes to Jin Rong. Seeing Jin Rong looking over with concern, he couldn't help but return a comforting smile.

He is eccentric, which he has never concealed, and the person he is eccentric is his eldest son, his successor, the decent prince, and the future emperor.

Whether it is as the emperor or as a father, who else can he be partial to if he doesn't favor Jin Rong?

Since they all said that he was eccentric, then he would carry it through to the end. How could he allow his son, whom he had spoiled for half his life, to suffer the slightest bit of grievance? The road ahead has been smoothed out.

"Recently, I have been mentally weak and have no interest in state affairs, and the imperial physician has given me peace of mind, which I feel is justified. Therefore, I have decided to pass on to the crown prince, and the enthronement ceremony can also be prepared." The emperor leisurely threw the bomb, and directly It knocked out everyone in the house.

All the ministers were stunned, why did the emperor suddenly think of the Zen seat?Everyone looked at Jin Rong together, only to see that Jin Rong's face was full of surprise, the degree of surprise was not inferior to them at all, and he seemed to be totally ignorant.

In fact, Jin Rong did not know about it, and he was fooled by the sudden arrival of the emperor. After a short shock, Jin Rong immediately knelt down and begged the emperor to take back his order.

The prince is kneeling, who else dares to stand?The ministers knelt down one after another, and together with Jin Rong begged the emperor to take back his order.

The emperor shook his head lightly, and asked for the imperial physician to be summoned.

The imperial physician explained in a simple and simple way, that although the emperor's injury was stabilized, the second prince still hurt the emperor's internal organs. It seems that there is nothing wrong now, but the emperor can't work hard, can't worry, and must ensure sufficient rest time and A happy mood, otherwise it will hinder life.

The ministers all felt a "thud" in their hearts. After becoming an emperor, they still want to not worry about work or worry, have enough rest and be happy... Is this possible?Do not make jokes!

Jin Rong walked to the bed on his knees, looked at the emperor but couldn't say anything.

The emperor looked calm, took Jin Rong's hand, and said softly: "I know how my body is. I still want to live a few more years, and watch your son marry a wife and have children, continue my great Jin glory, and create a new era." I am a prosperous Jin Dynasty. Besides, I see that you act properly, and you will be able to live up to my wishes and govern this country well, so don't let me down."

"Son, son..." Jin Rong's voice was choked with sobs. At this moment, he was really upset and didn't know how to answer.

The emperor looked up at the ministers, and sighed: "You don't need to persuade me. If I don't take the throne, the prince will definitely supervise the country in the future. It will not be a good thing in the long run. Besides, I have made up my mind. As the crown prince, succession to the throne is a matter of course, and when the enthronement ceremony is over, I can also indulge my grandchildren and take care of them for the rest of my life."

The ministers looked at me and I looked at you, all bowed their heads in silence.

The emperor has already talked about this, so can they let the emperor continue to work regardless of his life?

If they objected, they would not only offend the emperor, but even Jin Rong could gnaw at them. Whether it was for the emperor's life or the throne, Jin Rong could not tolerate their rebuttals.Moreover, Jin Rong is the crown prince, even if he doesn't ascend the throne now, he will ascend the throne in the future, so what future can there be if he thinks about it.

The emperor wants to rest, heals his injuries, and wants to live for a few more years, but the imperial power has always been inviolable, and conflicts easily arise between the first and second in command. Dirty will be born.

People's hearts cannot be tested. The emperor wants to retain the father-son relationship between him and Jin Rong, and at the same time, for the sake of the stability of the country, the Zen position is indeed a good way.

But the ministers are unavoidably uneasy. Youdao is the emperor and the courtiers. They are all the emperor's people. When Jin Rong ascends the throne, can they be reused like this?

The matter of the emperor's Zen throne has been decided, and preparations for the enthronement ceremony have also begun.

In the first lunar month, the enthronement ceremony was held as scheduled, Jin Rong ascended the throne as emperor, and changed his reign name to Jiashun, taking that year as the first year of Jiashun.

In the same month, Jin Rong canonized his first wife, Yao, as empress, his eldest son as prince, honored emperor as emperor, and empress as empress dowager.

The government had already been handed over to Jin Rong. The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager moved to the Huangji Palace hand in hand, and the concubines who had been concubines and had no children were sent to the royal temple to pray for blessings. The birth mothers of King Pingjun and King Ningjun The concubine can go out of the palace and live with her son.

Empress Yao lived in the harem with all the concubines, the prince stayed in the East Palace, and the rest of the older princes went to the South Three House.

These things had little to do with Gu Chengzhi, but Jin Rong asked Jin Lv to help him with a sentence, so that Gu Chengzhi could keep his filial piety at ease, and after he was full of filial piety, he didn't need to worry about getting up and going back.

After Jin Rong ascended the throne, he was not in a hurry to install his confidants, which also made the ministers feel a little more at ease.

In March of the same year, Prince Jian handed over the brochure to pass on the title to Jin Lu.

Jin Rong thought about it for a few days, but he still approved it. Because of Jin Lu's meritorious service, he was granted the title at the same level, and Jin Lu was also promoted from Prince Jian's son to Prince Jian.

Old Prince Jian's actions are like a signal, informing everyone: the emperor has changed, everyone take it easy.

In the next few months, there were many more officials begging for bones. Jin Rong declined several times, but finally only approved a few, and comforted the ministers so that they could work with peace of mind.

Looking at the officials who Jin Rong approved to return to their hometowns, everyone was silent. Come on, if you work honestly, you will not be fired. Even people who are too emperor can continue to use it. It is indeed good news.

Chu Junyi's spies have all been arranged, and the intelligence network in his hand is slowly closing.

There are also several of his nephews, who have already made a choice. After the three-year filial piety period is over, they will leave for the border. Among them, Chu Dashao even visited once and asked Chu Junyi to lend them a guard as a martial artist. Master, if we go to the border like this, we will definitely not come back alive.

Chu Junyi didn't refuse either, and appointed a guard who had been to the border and fought in battle to teach them. As for how much they could learn, he didn't care about his business.

The nine-month filial piety period had only passed more than half, and an obituary came from the Gu family, saying that Mr. Gu had passed away.

Gu Chengzhi raised his eyebrows after hearing this, it's good that we can watch the filial piety together.

The uncle's filial piety period is nine months, and the nephew must keep his filial piety, but there is no need for Ding You.

After Old Master Chu's filial piety period passed, Gu Cheng's official status was restored.

Prince An came with Jin Wen according to his words, and watched as Jin Wen served tea and worshiped his teacher, commensurate with Brother Qi and his brother.
