Chapter 85: Death of Emperor Jingwen(1/2)
On the tenth day of May, the capital of Yunguo.
The entire palace was in the highest level of alert.
Civil and military officials paced back and forth outside the emperor's bedroom, and everyone's face was very anxious.
In the bedroom, the kings served by each other.
"Father, Father."
"You wake up, you must not sleep."
"Father."
The kings called softly, but they did not dare to make noise.
"Ahem...ahhhh..."
Emperor Jing Wen raised his eyes with difficulty and looked at the kings standing beside him, and he still felt a little relieved.
But the kings were as anxious as ants on the hot pan.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are laws that cannot be violated by all things. Even saints will have a day when they die.
However, the position of the crown prince has not been decided, and no one wants Emperor Jing Wen to die at this time.
If Emperor Jingwen goes, who will inherit the throne?
Although the elders are orderly, they are not the eldest son or the natural imperial material.
What if the eldest son of the emperor is a lazy person? Should he also support him as the emperor?
This is obviously impossible.
Therefore, the countries have long abolished the rule of becoming the eldest son and succeeded the crown prince, but chose someone from the prince who could take great responsibility to inherit the throne, so that the kings could obey and convince all civil and military officials.
If a king who is unvirtuous and incompetent is established, it will not take long before all officials will unite with the kings to rebel.
This is exactly what the kings are most worried about. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Once Emperor Jingwen dies of illness, someone must come forward to inherit the throne.
But no matter who wants to sit in this seat, everyone else will be dissatisfied.
As long as someone disagrees, conflicts will arise and inevitable conflicts will easily arise.
The wise king was a little happy. He had already lost in the re-election of the prince. Now Emperor Jingwen may pass away at any time. Then he can mess up the situation and maybe he will have the chance to compete with other kings.
"Your Majesty, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
The eunuch Feng approached and asked.
Emperor Jingwen raised his hand and slowly pointed at the kings.
The wise king's face changed and he hurriedly took the initiative to meet Emperor Jing Wen's finger.
"Bang!"
King Ji pushed the wise king away and hurriedly said, "Father, please give me instructions."
"you……"
The wise king was furious, but the other party was his elder brother, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes and he did not dare to speak.
The other kings looked at King Ji together, and their eyes showed bad looks.
"I...I...sent the throne..."
When everyone heard the word "passing the throne", everyone's hearts were raised.
"Fourteen...Prince..."
"What!"
The kings were as stupid as a wooden chicken.
Isn’t the 14th prince the little prince?
He is only twelve years old, and he is just a child at the age of studying!
It is really incredible to have a child inherit the throne.
"I?"
The little prince was stunned, and knelt down with a "thump", his head shaking like a rattle, and said in a crying voice: "Father, I can't be the emperor, I don't know anything, I can't do it at all, Father, don't leave, please don't leave, wuwu..."
"The people are the most important, the country is the next, the king is the least, you... you must... remember... cough cough..."
After Emperor Jing Wen finished speaking, he let out blood stasis with a "cough cough", closed his eyes, and broke his last breath.
"Father!"
The little prince rushed over and cried bitterly.
"The Emperor has passed away!"
Eunuch Feng knelt on the ground, the maid knelt on the ground, and all the kings knelt on the ground.
White silk floated up in the palace, civil and military officials wore mourning clothes, and set up mourning halls, which were all sad.
"Winter! Winter! Winter!"
The death knives in the palace were ringing, and then the death knives in the temple were ringing, and the sounds spread thousands of miles away.
Holy temples across the country also rang the death knell.
The bell rang nine times in a row, corresponding to the nine steps in front of the dragon chaise in the Golden Palace, indicating the death of the emperor.
White silk was hung in the yamen of various prefectures, prefectures and even counties, and officials tied white satin to express their condolences.
…………
Holy Forest Continent.
The Huns.
A demonic goshawk flew out of the sky, like a shadow and lightning, and landed outside the Huns' Palace at once.
The soldiers took off the letters brought by the Eagle and walked into the palace.
A strong and strong man sat on the throne, and below were officials of the Huns.
"King, the latest information."
“Show it.”
"yes."
The Hun soldiers presented the letter to the Hun king of the Hun Kingdom.
After seeing this, a faint smile appeared on his face and he slowly said, "Emperor Jingwen of Yun Kingdom has passed away."
"What? Emperor Jingwen is dead?"
"Haha...this is really good news!"
"Emperor Jingwen is finally dead."
The ministers of the Huns showed joy on their faces, as if they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
An official immediately stepped out and said, "Qizhao King, Emperor Jingwen is dead, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Hun Kingdom."
"My dear, please speak."
"Thank you, King."
The official said: "As far as I know, Yun Kingdom did not establish a crown prince. In other words, after Emperor Jingwen died of illness, his throne became a hot potato. No matter who sat in that seat, there would be objections, because Emperor Jingwen did not officially establish the crown prince, and did not announce it to the world. Therefore, the kings will fight for the throne, which will be an opportunity for our Xiongnu Kingdom."
"I'm very honest about this, but Emperor Jingwen is an extremely cautious person. I'm afraid he's expected it long ago. If we act rashly, we might fall into Emperor Jingwen's plan."
"The king is worried too much. Emperor Jingwen has not officially established a crown prince. The kings will definitely have civil strife to fight for the throne. We only need to wait for an opportunity to make a profit."
"Your dear is reasonable."
The King of Huns nodded slightly and said slowly: "Send the order and rectify the troops and horses across the country for preparation for war."
"The king is wise."
…………
Barbarian Kingdom.
The Barbarian King also received news that Emperor Jing Wen died of illness.
"My ministers, Emperor Jingwen is dead, and the Yun Kingdom has become a mess. Why don't we let our barbarians help Yun Kingdom clean up. What do you think?" The Barbarian King glanced at the ministers.

"King, this is indeed an opportunity, but as far as the ministers know, the Huns have always been eyeing Yun and have long been invading. If we send troops rashly, we will be afraid that the Huns will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and get a big advantage." A barbarian official reminded.
"Haha, the enemy's enemy is his friend. As long as we reach an agreement with the Huns and each takes half of the Yun Kingdom's territory, wouldn't it be enough?" said the Barbarian King.
"The Huns are full of ambitions, how could they be willing to share the world of Yun Kingdom with us? Even if we can win, we will never get a share of the pie."
"The Hun Kingdom will definitely think of things that we can think of. I believe that the Hun Kingdom will send people to discuss this matter soon." said the Barbarian King.
"Report!"
