The emperor is as beautiful as jade

During the Dasheng Dynasty, Emperor Wenrui made his mark for 12 years.

The war in Xiyu broke out for the second time. Under the leadership of Prince Yu Xiao Lin, after four years, it was finally quelled.The good news spread to the capital, but it was accompanied by the wrong news that Prince Yu "died his life for the country", which made Wenrui Emperor Xiao Zhiyi vomit blood and became seriously ill.

Fortunately, the news that Prince Yu was still alive was sent back to the capital in time by the generals in the southwest. Emperor Wen Rui's condition finally improved, and there seemed to be a glimmer of hope in vain.

But Emperor Wenrui did not expect that Prince Yu flatly refused his order to return to Beijing immediately.There is no reason, and there are only fourteen words in the reply letter: "I used to contribute to my dynasty, and I have no return for life, guarding the frontier."

Prince Yu did what he said. When discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, he only ordered the two generals on the left and right to suppress the prince of Xiyu Kingdom and return to Beijing to report to Emperor Wenrui, but he himself did not follow the triumphant return to the court.

Prince Yu is the Generalissimo who led the Western Expedition this time. He has made great contributions in defending his family and defending the country. This honor is extremely honorable. Who would have thought that he would not even return to Beijing?It's like, it's like deliberately avoiding someone!

Amidst the puzzled voices of civil and military ministers, Emperor Wen Rui, who had just recovered from his illness, fell ill again.

The imperial physicians said that Emperor Wen Rui's illness was very strange, not caused by the pain toxins on his body, but by the sorrow and sorrow in his heart.

Indeed, it has been more than half a year since the war in the Southwest was quelled, but Emperor Wen Rui was still taciturn all day long, and there was no trace of joy in his handsome appearance.

It has been more than half a month like this, and Emperor Wen Rui's condition not only did not improve, but became worse and worse.His thin body was already so weak that he could only sleep on the crouching dragon bed, guarded day and night by concubines and princes.

Now Xiao Zhiyi can no longer be diligent in government affairs all day long, nor can he get up early every day to go to court, but all big and small matters can only be entrusted to a few capable princes to discuss with Prime Minister Fu, and then Prime Minister Fu will go to the palace to ask him to make decisions.

Xiao Zhiyi fell ill like this, and his condition was severe, which is not to say that it is not worrying, especially although he has been on the throne for a long time, but the position of queen has been vacant, and even the candidate for the crown prince has not yet been decided.If anything happens to Xiao Zhiyi, no one can guarantee it...

But in Xiao Zhiyi's harem, the position of queen is irrelevant, the choice of the crown prince must be decided no matter what.Among them, the only one who is qualified, er, probably the son of Concubine Yan, is Xiao Zhiyi's only son - the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince was born to Concubine Yan, and Concubine Yan was Prime Minister Fu's daughter, Prime Minister Fu was definitely the one who cared most about the crown prince.

This afternoon, taking advantage of Xiao Zhiyi's bedroom being guarded by Concubine Yan and Prince Heng, Prime Minister Fu came to Qianming Palace with an important report, and talked about things that made Xiao Zhiyi headache and angry.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is a major national issue, and you should not put it aside any longer!" Kneeling in front of Xiao Zhiyi's bed, Prime Minister Fu said sincerely: "The old minister begs the emperor to put the country's future as the most important thing, and to appoint the crown prince early so that everyone can feel at ease." !"

"Prime Minister Fu, don't you think that I'm sick in bed now... ahem... I'm dying?" Xiao Zhiyi just drank the medicine, his mouth was full of bitterness.

Prime Minister Fu froze, his cloudy eyes flashed, as if he was very happy to see Xiao Zhiyi's terminal illness.He said: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the old ministers dare not commit the crime, but the emperor is indeed in violation of the Eucharist, the emperor has to make a big plan early!"

"You!!!" Xiao Zhiyi was furious, his pale handsome face turned sickly red from anger, he squeezed the bed sheet tightly, Xiao Zhiyi said coldly: "I know my body well, if I really wait until the day when I die, I will naturally It's arranged. Prime Minister Fu doesn't have to worry too much, cough cough!"

Seeing Xiao Zhiyi's expression of impatience, Prime Minister Fu said boldly, "The seventh prince is the emperor's own son, and there are no other princes under the emperor's knees. I also ask the emperor to abandon his personal thoughts and put state affairs first."

There was something in Prime Minister Fu's words, Xiao Zhiyi was taken aback when he heard it, and said angrily: "The Prime Minister's words... what do you mean?"

Xiao Zhiyi lowered his eyes, thinking to himself why Prime Minister Fu spoke so boldly today, without any regard for his status as emperor.Probably because he was seriously ill, and wished to piss him off?

He said that he should abandon his private thoughts and put the state affairs first, because he had the future of the Dasheng Dynasty in his heart, so he couldn't easily make the Seventh Prince the crown prince.

Let's not talk about how arrogant and domineering Concubine Yan became the empress dowager, Prime Minister Fu is an ambitious person. If the seventh prince is appointed as the crown prince, how can he expect that Fu will not replace Xiao?

Xiao Zhiyi took a hard breath, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "I have told the prime minister long ago that the crown prince is a major national matter, and no one can interfere arbitrarily. As the king of the dynasty, the prime minister is also the grandfather of the seventh prince. , you should avoid suspicion!"

"The old minister is terrified, please forgive me." Prime Minister Fu kowtowed on the ground perfunctorily, but there was no sign of respect at all on the old man's face.Thinking about it, Xiao Zhiyi really fell for him. Seeing that Xiao Zhiyi was seriously ill, he no longer pretended to be superficial respect, and became lawless.

Xiao Zhiyi was angry, but Prime Minister Fu was deeply rooted in the court, and he was seriously ill and bedridden, so he really had to bear it.Waving his hand, Xiao Zhiyi ordered the palace servants beside him: "Send the prime minister out...cough cough..."

Prime Minister Fu looked at Xiao Zhiyi's eviction order, then glanced at Xiao Zhiyi's dying appearance lying on the dragon bed, his heart sank, he straightened up and approached Xiao Zhiyi's bed.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Prime Minister Fu's face twitched violently, and he said with a gloomy and sinister smile, "Your Majesty is so slow in making sure who will be the crown prince. Could it be that he is waiting for someone else he likes?"

"What... what?" Xiao Zhiyi only thought that he had heard wrong, and his breathing was heavy.

Prime Minister Fu rolled his old eyes, and said with a cunning smile: "Your Majesty, you forgot that Prince Yu is now in love with the free life at the border, and he is no longer willing to return to court. Have you paid for it wrongly?"

"...Bastard..." Xiao Zhiyi's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Prime Minister Fu's smirk, he felt a bad breath welling up in his chest, extremely angry, and another mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

"Your Majesty!!!" Seeing that Xiao Zhiyi was trembling all over, he fell back and fainted on the dragon bed, the surrounding palace people rushed forward screaming, and several eunuchs swarmed to call the imperial doctor.

Prime Minister Fu looked at Xiao Zhiyi like this, and felt in his heart that Xiao Zhiyi really did what Concubine Yan said, and the time is not far away.Unexpectedly, even at this point, Xiao Zhiyi was still unwilling to make the seventh prince the crown prince.

Prime Minister Fu angrily walked out of the Qianming Palace and went straight to the palace of his daughter Concubine Yan. In his heart, he probably came up with some secret plan.

On the way out of the palace, Prime Minister Fu was bumped into by Yan Qin and blocked in an empty room in the harem garden.

"Prime Minister Fu, what are you doing today?" Yan Qin glanced at Prime Minister Fu coldly, his face calm, but Prime Minister Fu, who had worked with him for a long time, could feel that Yan Qin was very angry now.

Prime Minister Fu was surprised, annoyed at Yan Qin's rudeness to him, and asked, "What's the matter, old man?"

Yan Qin slammed his palm on the wall, stared at Prime Minister Fu bitterly and asked, "Today the emperor suddenly vomited blood and fainted again. I heard from the eunuchs in front of the imperial court that this is all due to you, Prime Minister?"

"Yan Qin...you!" Prime Minister Fu, who is used to being domineering, has never been so angry, and his anger immediately ignited in his heart, but when he thought of relying on Yan Qin in the future, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and squeeze out a tolerant smile meaning.

"General Yan, why are you so angry?" Prime Minister Fu patted Yan Qin on the shoulder, and said in a pleasant manner: "The emperor is so sick now, it seems that there are only a few days left to live, the old man is just thinking about the future, one step earlier Just make plans."

"Master Prime Minister, how dare you speak such nonsense!" Yan Qin listened to what Prime Minister Fu said, thought of Xiao Zhiyi's increasingly haggard and pale face, felt pain in his heart, and shouted in a low voice: "The emperor is in the prime of his life, and now he is just a little sick. That's all, as long as you take good care of it, there will be no problem!"

He won't have any accidents, he won't be like Prime Minister Fu said...

Yan Qin's face was pale, his heart was beating like a drum, he suddenly pinched Prime Minister Fu's shoulder, and said viciously: "My lord, if you want to calculate the success of the Seventh Prince, this junior won't say a word, and you can even help your lord for a while." Two. But it is about the safety of the emperor, if the adults dare to have a little calculation, the juniors are not talented, but they will risk their own lives to protect the safety of the emperor!"

"You, you, you..." Prime Minister Fu was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he said angrily: "Yan Qin, are you threatening this old man? Don't forget, you and this old man are grasshoppers on the same boat! When you made an appointment with this old man Okay, the old man will help you get rid of Prince Yu, so you will help the old man support the Seventh Prince, what? Now you want to go back on your word?"

"My lord prime minister is right. I said I would help you to support the Seventh Prince, but what I want is not only to drive away Prince Yu, but also to keep the emperor safe and sound by my side!" Yan Qin replied gritted his teeth. : "Now my lord is taking advantage of the emperor's serious illness to deliberately provoke the emperor, what is your lord's intention?"

Thinking of Xiao Zhiyi's serious illness, Yan Qin's heart was pierced, and he also hated Prime Minister Fu.

It's not that Prime Minister Fu didn't know that the reason why Yan Qin was willing to join him was because he was jealous of Xiao Lin and didn't allow Xiao Zhiyi to have other men by his side.

But Prime Minister Fu didn't think so. The reason why he came to Yanqin was not only to support his grandson to be the prince, but also to become the emperor in the future. He also had greater ambitions.The emperor took turns sitting, so why can't the Fu family rule the world?

Prime Minister Fu thought, as long as Xiao Zhiyi died now, the Seventh Prince would be the only rightful successor no matter whether he was registered as the crown prince or not.At that time, will it be difficult for his grandfather to control the government?

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Fu was very happy. Seeing that Yan Qin was worried about Xiao Zhiyi's lack of control, he hurried over and said in a lecherous way: "General Yan, I know you can't let the emperor go. Don't worry, I won't let you go. I feel sorry for my daughter and grandson, how dare I really do something to the emperor? This old man is not desperate!"

Yan Qin snorted coldly, now he was very suspicious of Prime Minister Fu's words.

Prime Minister Fu was not angry when he saw it, and still said kindly: "Why don't we make another deal, how about it?"

"What deal?"

"The last blow of your cooperation with me, the outcome is that you will be the emperor and my grandson will be the emperor. As for Prince Yu who is far away in the southwest border, you can rest assured that when the seventh prince ascends the throne, the old man will naturally find a way to let him Gone forever!"

"The Supreme Emperor?" Yan Qin's pupils widened instantly, "You want to force the palace? No! You want to meet the Emperor?!"
