By the time the news of Zhao Hongqing's serious injury reached the imperial mausoleum, more than half a month had passed since the battle at Xianyang.

Zhao Changqing was very sad and regretted not giving the imperial seal to the emperor.

He believed that with Jiuding at his side, even if he was defeated by his opponent, he could enable the emperor to retreat safely.

However, the emperor worked too hard.

You will never withdraw from the battlefield without killing your opponent.

If I had known this, I would have avoided this disaster by giving him the imperial seal.

The main reason why he was not given the Imperial Seal in the first place was because he was afraid that the emperor, who had been promoted to the realm of gods and humans, would forget his own cultivation due to the strong external forces.

It's time to lift Zhuge Linglong and his beloved grandson from the ice.

Zhao Hongqing rushed back to Luoyang. According to the current speed, it would take at least half a month.

This was Zhao Hongji's intention.

After all, Zhao Hongqing's body is getting worse day by day at this moment.

Especially after delivering an inspiring speech that day in front of the entire army, my body became extremely weak.

After he returned to Luoyang, the people in the whole city were rejoicing.

In order to dispel some "rumors" in the country, Zhao Hongqing supported his seriously injured body and let the people see his "safe and sound" side.

This approach is certainly good.

However, for his body at this moment, it was a burden that could not be put on words.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Hongqing ordered a banquet to be held in the Taiji Palace to entertain the ministers who had made meritorious service in the battle against the demon clan.

After arranging everything, unexpectedly, he saw his wife and children.

"you..."

In the bedroom, Zhao Hongqing's eyes were dim.

Zhuge Linglong hurriedly supported him and said: "I was just released by my father. I didn't have time to go to the city gate to greet you, so I planned to wait for you here."

Zhao Hongqing coughed twice excitedly and said, "I didn't expect that my father would actually unblock you. Linglong, I'm sorry, my body is..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhuge Linglong covered her mouth, with tears swirling in her eyes, "I have heard from my father about your Majesty's affairs. My father said that you can take care of yourself in peace, and he is an old man.

We have left the imperial mausoleum to pick some precious medicine to relieve your injury."

Zhao Hongqing shook his head, "It's useless, my origin has been damaged, my longevity is passing away all the time, and I really can't save myself. But you, who have just appeared in this world, can you still adapt to the changes in this vicissitudes of life?"

Zhuge Linglong forced a smile and said, "Fortunately, it was my father's death that caught me off guard."

Zhao Hongqing took her slender hand and stroked his child Zhao Yuan, and the three of them came to the bed together.

He then said: "I originally thought that after all the problems of the human race are solved, I would abdicate and give way to our children. However, I don't know if I can wait until Yuan'er grows up and becomes a master of heaven and humans."

At this time, Zhuge Linglong had already realized that he was seriously injured and was about to die. "Don't worry, it will happen. You have to have confidence in yourself and in your father, the emperor."

"

Zhao Changqing was indeed ready to find a solution to his injury.

However, he didn't know for sure.

After all, although the world is undergoing great changes now, it is basically spiritual energy and the pattern of heaven and earth that are changing. Some legendary elixirs that can revive human flesh and bones have not appeared.

So far, this is the only panacea that can save the emperor's life.

"No matter what, Yuan'er must practice hard. Without cultivation at the realm of heaven and human, he will not be able to intimidate the entire human race in the future. At present, from the surface, the human race is extremely harmonious, but since my father surrendered to me, the human race has

The contradictions are increasing day by day. Yuan'er must hurry up and grow up."

Zhao Hongqing looked at his child with a kind smile.

Nowadays, Zhao Yuan has lost the naughtiness he had when he was young. Although he is actually still a teenager, he already has his own ambitions in his heart.

"Father, please rest in peace and recuperate. The child knows his mission, and he will never forget the earnest teachings of father and grandpa." Zhao Yuan's voice made the emperor stunned.

Immediately he felt happy.

Children seem to grow up overnight.

He held the prince's hand and said earnestly: "Your grandpa conquered this world and handed it over to your father. However, your father was incompetent and paid a heavy price to keep this world. If you ascend the throne in the future, thousands of people will be killed."

Don't ever imitate my father. My father doesn't care whether you can hold on to this world or not. He just hopes, Yuan'er, that you can live well and live a carefree life."

This is just an idea of ​​his.

The word "carefree" has never been associated with Zhao Yuan since he was born.

"Father, don't worry. Grandpa Huang's pioneering work and your hard work in governance will be worthy of learning and admiration for my children. If one day, my children are needed to step forward, they will definitely do their best to protect this world." Zhao Yuan is neither humble nor arrogant.

road.

He is ambitious.

A bigger ambition than Zhao Hongqing.

"Yuan'er, I ask you, if one day your biological uncle competes with you for power and you gain the upper hand, how should you deal with your uncle?" Zhao Hongqing asked.

He was preparing for a rainy day.

Zhao Yuan lowered his head and was silent for a moment, thinking in his mind: "It seems that my father is already guessing what may happen in the future. But, will it really be as what my father said?"

Thinking of this, he said resolutely: "If one day, the emperor's uncle really wants to do this, if my son wins, he will definitely properly arrange the emperor's uncle and let him enjoy his old age. But... with the emperor's grandfather here, the emperor's uncle,

Would you do such a thing?"

The inner courtyard of the imperial palace of the Wei Dynasty was different from other dynasties.

They have the most harmonious relationship with their brothers and nephews.

More like family.

Zhao Hongqing shook his head heavily, "Child, you have to remember that the throne can defeat all friendships. Your grandpa will also be old one day. There are some things that you have to think about, even though your father doesn't want you to go.

think."

...

After the dinner.

Zhao Hongqing officially named Zhao Yuan the prince and Zhao Hongji the regent.

The word regent has a great meaning.

It leaves many people scratching their heads.

Only Xiao Xuanwu knew it.

It seems that the emperor was really seriously injured, otherwise, he would not have done this.

There are many meanings behind Zhao Hongji becoming the regent, not just to check and balance himself.

More importantly, His Majesty the Emperor is making plans for the future.

The twelfth lunar month of winter.

The dignified heavenly master also felt a little cold.

It can be seen how quickly Zhao Hongqing's health deteriorated.
