Lin Jinxiao stepped forward anxiously and saw that Lin Jinsheng had already walked down the hall. He came over and grabbed him, leaving everyone in silence and walked towards the outside of the hall.
Several palace attendants followed cautiously behind them, keeping a close distance from the two of them.
When he arrived at the nearest door of Yangxin Hall, Lin Jinsheng had just crossed the threshold with his front foot and was about to enter, but it was still difficult to lift the other foot. After several difficult attempts, a mouthful of hot blood spurted out without restraint, and he fell straight down.
.
"Brother Royal."
Lin Jinxiao was so frightened that he quickly helped him up.
After hearing the news, the palace people immediately gathered around and helped the emperor into the palace, where he placed himself on a soft couch next to the door.
"Everyone, please step back."
Lin Jinsheng greeted in a weak voice, and the palace people withdrew one after another.
Waiting for the hall to clear up, Lin Jinsheng gently raised his trembling arms towards Lin Jinxiao, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "I have finally expected you to come."
Seeing how frail he was at this time, he might die at any time, Lin Jinxiao felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Your Majesty is sick, I will send someone to the doctor immediately."
Lin Jinsheng waved his hand very gently: "My time is approaching and there is nothing I can do to save myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood and spat it all over the floor.
Lin Jinxiao quickly found a handkerchief and handed it to his mouth. While wiping it, he comforted: "Now that King Qinghe has been defeated, the power of Qinghe's powerful people has collapsed, and the Queen Mother has also drank a dove and committed suicide to thank the world. Your Majesty should cheer up."
That’s it.”
"The country's affairs are difficult, and there is a long way to go. I am afraid that I will never see the empire flourish again."
Speaking of this, Lin Jinsheng burst into tears: "Since I ascended the throne at the age of five, I have been in power for more than 20 years. I have not accomplished anything, and I am ashamed of my ancestors and the people of Li. Now I have to follow the late emperor, but I have to...
I leave this mess in your hands, Jin Xiao, you must protect the country of our ancestors for me and take back the land of green crops."
Lin Jinxiao has also learned that Lin Tingyan stole the military power of the three states of Qinghe.
This person is extremely insidious and may even collude with foreign tribes in order to compete for power.
Looking at his expectant eyes, Lin Jinxiao could only collect his thoughts and replied categorically: "Brother, please rest assured, I will not let even an inch of our ancestor's inheritance fall into the hands of others."
After hearing this, Lin Jinsheng closed his eyes with relief: "Nowadays, people's livelihood is difficult, and I have no kindness to the people. There should be no big funeral ceremony after my death. Everything should be kept simple. The people will mourn for three days. After that, everything will return to business as usual."
, in particular, one must follow the ancestral system, which is to stop pregnancy during national mourning.”
After pausing for a few breaths, he continued: "After you ascend the throne, you must do light corvee and low taxes to support the people's livelihood, and don't kill people indiscriminately. Our government's selection system has been ill for a long time. If you want to eliminate the noble clans,
Forces need to take measures slowly and must not rush for success."
"Brother Chen, I have written it down."
Lin Jinxiao nodded and replied.
Thinking of the lady who was about to give birth, she seemed to think that the national mourning he mentioned to stop pregnancy and not give birth was a favor for her, so she couldn't help but be moved.
Lin Jinsheng said everything he had to entrust, and then he felt much relieved, and a light smile appeared on his face with relief.
He stared at the beam above his head. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly opened the corners of his mouth slightly and called out in a weak voice: "Concubine, the evil woman in Yong'an Palace is dead, and my child can finally stay with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he started to laugh up at the sky. His laughter stirred up his old illness, causing him to cough incessantly and blood pouring from the corners of his mouth.
After a burst of laughter, Lin Jinsheng kept his smile and closed his eyes quietly.
"Brother Royal."
Lin Jinxiao felt a twinge in his heart.
Although I didn't have a close relationship with the emperor, I generally knew something about his temperament. He couldn't be as broad-minded as Princess Shu. After all, it was his cowardly temperament that harmed him. He pretended to have hatred in his heart but had nowhere to vent it.
Slowly walking out of the Yangxin Hall, looking at Yin Enci, the Queen and a group of palace people who were waiting outside the hall, Lin Jinxiao sighed feebly: "His Majesty has passed away."
The queen and the palace people began to cry loudly, but Yin Enci remained calm.
She hobbled into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, holding on to her crutches tightly. She never said a word and remained silent.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced sideways at the emperor lying on the soft couch, and after a long time he shed a few tears.
Yin Enci silently wiped away the tears, turned around and first told Yin Sinian who was guarding outside the palace: "Si Nian, you, Huai Shu, and Rong Heng must guard the palace gates and escort the emperor back to the capital under the evil barrier.
The death news will be kept secret, and we will wait until the evil obstacle enters the city before making any decisions."
Then he pulled Lin Jinxiao into the depths of the Yangxin Hall and carefully looked at the grandson in front of him who he had longed for.
Her wrinkled right hand gently caressed his cheek, her face was gloomy for a while, and then Yin Enci suppressed the sadness in her heart and said with a choked sob: "Your mother and concubine couldn't wait for you to come back last night.
Passed away."
Hearing the bad news, Lin Jinxiao felt even more sad.
Although I had a premonition when I entered the palace, it was still difficult to accept this blow for a while.
Along the way, what he was thinking about was looking forward to seeing his miserable mother as soon as possible, but he never thought that he would be a step too late.
He staggered a few steps, almost falling to the ground, and finally fell to his knees with a plop.
I was speechless but unable to cry.
"Your imperial brother was so angry that he killed the governor of Binzhou and the governor of Shuanghe County. He was so angry that his old illness relapsed. He has been in a state of confusion these days. The imperial doctor in the palace has been waiting for you to enter the capital in order to allow the emperor to stay longer.
After using strong medicine several times, the Ai family couldn't bear to tell him about the death of your mother and concubine, so they had to hide it until now."
Yin Enci looked back at the dead emperor again, and her voice became more and more trembling: "The emperor and your mother and concubine are both miserable people. They both made up their minds to leave the Aijia and leave. They do have a companion on the road to hell."
Lin Jinxiao was about to cry without tears at this time.
He had never felt so uncomfortable as he did today.
The heartbreaking pain was sweeping over him overwhelmingly.
"Mother concubine."
After pondering for a long time, he shouted out these two words with difficulty. He hugged Yin Enci's legs and cried hysterically:
After all, he became an orphan without his mother.
"Xiao'er, this is not the time for you to be sad at this juncture. The various states are suffering from this disaster and it is urgent for you to calm them down. The three states of Qinghe are where the ancestral dragon veins are located. It is even more unsettling to fall into the hands of your uncle Liu Huang. You
You need to cheer up soon."
Yin Enci endured the pain in her heart and advised solemnly: "Nan Zhi is about to give birth. She has several small children to guard the Jiangnan states for you. It is not easy. You must stabilize the situation in Beijing as soon as possible to welcome them.
Mother and son are returning to Beijing."
Moreover, when the border countries heard that the emperor was mourning, they would definitely take the opportunity to invade. All such heavy burdens fell on the grandson.
She felt distressed but was helpless in every possible way.
The ancestor's words completely awakened Lin Jinxiao.
The emperor's brother passed away and did not leave any buffer time for himself. The top priority was that he must cheer up as soon as possible, not only for the safety of the empire, but also for the safety of his family.
Silently brushing away the tears from the corners of his eyes, he stood up strongly and replied with firm eyes: "Please rest assured, Imperial Grandmother, my grandson will definitely stabilize the situation in each state as soon as possible and will never disappoint the Emperor's trust."
Thinking of his wife who was far away in Langzhou, he hoped that she could stay with him at this moment. He was counting the time as it was time for her to give birth.
It's just that the current situation is chaotic, and for the sake of the fetus in her belly, he can only suffer the pain of separation.
Just not being able to see the child being born with my own eyes will eventually become the biggest regret in my heart.
Yin Enci could also see his inner uneasiness, and quickly comforted him with kind words: "What father doesn't want to see his child born, but he happened to be at this juncture. Langzhou is a long way away, even at this time
She couldn't stand the bumps in bringing Nan Zhi's girl to Beijing, not to mention the road was not peaceful. She could handle the affairs in Beijing with peace of mind. When Nan Zhi gave birth to the fetus, the Ai family asked Rong Heng to go to Langzhou in person to pick up their mother and son.
