Chapter eight hundred and eighty second checks and balances
"My time is running out." In the Yangshen Temple, Chen Huang leaned on his chair and was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I dare to take your majesty's pulse."
Emperor Chen slowly stretched out his hand, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Although Tang Ning was not an imperial physician, he could cure Concubine Shu and repeatedly solve difficult illnesses that even imperial physicians could not solve. If there was still a chance of survival,
Who would give up hope of living?
Ordinary people are like this, not to mention that he is the emperor and the Chen Kingdom is powerful. Why doesn't he want to see more of these great rivers and mountains?
When her fingers were placed on Chen Huang's wrist, Tang Ning knew that Chen Huang was exhausted.
His pulse was very weak, and you couldn't even feel it if you didn't check it carefully. Tang Ning had just learned some medical skills, which might be better than ordinary doctors, but it was far from comparable to imperial doctors. He just had more skills than imperial doctors.
With this experience, I don’t have the ability to rejuvenate or bring back the dead.
Tang Ning withdrew her hand from Chen Huang's wrist without saying anything. The glimmer of hope in Chen Huang's eyes quickly went out again.
Emperor Chen asked: "Has my time come?"
Tang Ning did not answer, and Chen Huang did not ask further questions. He just lowered his head and said, "Everyone will die. I thought I had been prepared for it, but only then did I realize that I can never be prepared for this kind of thing.
"
Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty must follow the imperial physician's orders, and maybe it can be extended for a while."
Chen Huang struggled to wave his hand and said: "It's just a matter of hanging on, what's the use of continuing for a few days..."
After saying these words, he seemed to be a little tired. After a while, he said: "Although I am going to die, the country cannot be without a king for a day. I have already established an edict and am preparing to appoint King Duan as the crown prince to replace me."
Governance, what do you think?"
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "It is not easy to criticize the matter of establishing a crown prince as a foreign minister."
"What's not to criticize..." Chen Huang twitched his lips and said, "I know, you must think that I am a foolish king."
"I didn't..."
"I know you have."
…
In fact, Tang Ning really did, but she was still a little embarrassed when Chen Huang exposed it in front of her, so she had to keep silent.
Chen Huang did not continue this topic, and spoke again: "Actually, half a year ago, when King Kang rebelled, I was completely disappointed with King Duan when I saw his performance on the altar, and decided to pass the throne to Yuan'er. As long as
Give me another five years, and I will be able to completely stabilize Chen's domestic and foreign affairs, and give him a peaceful and prosperous age..."
He was silent for a long time, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that God is not willing to give me even five years."
"Yuan'er is still too young to handle the affairs of the court, and he cannot suppress the officials in the court. If someone holds him hostage to hold the government hostage, it will be a disaster for Chen Guo and the court... The most important thing is that Yuan'er
Although my son is filial, he does not have the talents of an emperor, let alone the heart of an emperor. Although Prince Duan is not a good prince, nor a good person, he is more suitable to be emperor than Yuan'er."
Tang Ning thought that Emperor Chen was terminally ill and unconscious, so she made the foolish decision to pass the throne to Prince Duan.
Unexpectedly, although he was about to die of illness, his thinking was clearer than anyone else.
Although Zhao Yuan wanted to be the emperor, his motives were impure. Being the emperor was just a process for him to realize his dream of a harem, not a goal.
Three years old makes you look older, and seven years old makes you look older. Zhao Yuan's character has already been formed. If there are no major changes in the future, his character will not change much.
Tang Ning was Zhao Yuan's husband and his biggest helper on the road to seizing the throne, but he asked himself, and he didn't think Zhao Yuan could govern a country well.
The most likely possibility is that after Zhao Yuan succeeds to the throne, Concubine Fang Shu and the Fang family will take control of the government. This kind of control, even if it is not a control that can cover up the sky and bring disaster to the government, is certainly not what Emperor Chen wants to see.
Compared with King Run, the Tang family has declined after King Duan's death. Regarding him, Emperor Chen did not have the same concerns as King Run.
Although Tang Ning is not the emperor, he can understand Emperor Chen's mood and understand his thoughts.
Precisely because he is not an emperor or a member of the royal family, he has to stand on his own side, and his side is that King Duan can never sit in that supreme position.
Tang Ning did not ask Chen Huang why he did not choose Prince Huai. He already knew the inside story of what happened back then and knew that this was a very stupid question.
"I have no choice." Chen Huang looked at him and said: "I know that you and the Tang family have a life-and-death feud, but the Tang family has fallen into such a situation, and the hatred in your heart should have been extinguished...
, Prince Duan has no deep grudge against you. I will call him into the palace to let him put down his hostility towards you. I hope you can also ignore the past grudges and assist him well..."
A wry smile appeared on Tangning's face at the right time and she said, "I'm afraid His Highness Prince Duan will not agree. A few days ago, he wanted to kill my father-in-law..."
Emperor Chen coughed and said: "I will give you a whip to beat the dragon. It can beat the emperor unconscious at the top and the ministers at the bottom. If you see the king, you will not be polite. If you see the whip, it will be like seeing me!"
Beating the dragon whip is a legendary thing, at least it has not appeared in the Chen State. However, the imperial power is the greatest in the Chen State. It is said that the emperor is beaten to faint and the ministers are beaten, but if the emperor is willing to go all out, he does not care whether he will be violated.
The late emperor's legacy and infamy lasted for thousands of years. This dragon-beating whip is just a pile of scrap metal.
Based on Tang Ning's understanding of Prince Duan, he doesn't seem like someone who follows rules.
Tang Ning knew what Emperor Chen meant. Although he passed the throne to Prince Duan, he was still worried that the world he had managed so well would be defeated by Prince Duan.
He wanted to use Tang Ning to contain King Duan, and at the same time, he wanted to use King Duan to contain Tang Ning.
No matter how powerful Tang Ning is, she is still a minister, and a minister is a minister, and she can't do anything to the emperor. Although Prince Duan is the emperor, Tang Ning has the dragon whip entrusted by the late emperor, so he would not dare to attack Tang Ning easily.
Tang Ning glanced at Chen Huang and sighed inwardly, he would never forget to use his best skill of checks and balances until his death.
Tang Ning bowed her hands and said, "I must try my best to live up to His Majesty's instructions."
Emperor Chen waved his hand, and two eunuchs came forward and helped him up. Emperor Chen closed his eyes and said: "I am tired, you can go down..."
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "I'm leaving."
The two eunuchs helped Emperor Chen go to bed to rest. Tang Ning and Wei Jian exited the hall and closed the door. Wei Jian bowed his hands to him and said, "Concubine Tang Hui was here just now. Thank you, Master Tang, for speaking for us..."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Wei is too polite. We are all friends. Mr. Wei always speaks for me in front of His Majesty..."
Tang Ning and Wei Jian said goodbye and when they walked down the steps in front of the palace, Wei Jian's voice came from behind again.
"Master Tang can do whatever he wants outside the palace. In this palace, Concubine Hui is not the place where she can make the decision."
Tangning paused, a smile appeared on her face, and she strode outside the palace without responding.
He had never forgotten that the old eunuch who followed Emperor Chen was not only the chief chamberlain, in charge of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, but he was also Emperor Chen's biggest eyes and ears, and the leader of the secret espionage department.
The leader of Chen State's largest intelligence agency, even though he bows to everyone, is by no means as simple as he seems.
