The melancholy moonlight gradually became more and more intense, and the silvery moonlight had a somewhat strange color. No one noticed the gorgeous scene of meteors flying past. The imperial capital Bianliang was shrouded in a brilliant light, Yang
The smile from the bottom of my heart is filled with the joy of the festival.
In the Cide Hall of the Imperial Palace, a dying old man's face was flushed like a flashback. He was lying on a bed filled with ambergris, and two people were kneeling under the bed. These two people
They were all dressed in casual clothes. One of them was in his thirties, with a thin face that was somewhat elegant, but there was a touch of majesty about him. That person was Chai Rong, the current crown prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The other man has a strong back and a pair of gleaming tiger eyes under his thick eyebrows. His knife-like face exudes a strong aura, and his whole body exudes a faint aura of blood evil from time to time. That man must be a
The famous general who has defeated countless enemies on the battlefield is none other than Li Chongjin. Although he is dressed in casual clothes, he can't hide his brave and majestic temperament. At this time, Li Chongjin is like a docile kitten, kneeling
Say nothing.
"Ahem, I know that the deadline is approaching. I asked you to come here today because I must have something to deal with." Guo Wei wriggled his lips and said with difficulty. His eyes glanced at the two juniors who were kneeling under his bed.
, Chai Rong is his adopted son and his nephew, but Li Chongjin has a strong blood relationship with him. These two are both peerless geniuses today, but there is only one throne. Although he has already determined it in his heart, he
The escape route must be paved before the deadline to avoid the tragedy of civil strife in the palace.
"I have made Guo Rong the crown prince. Do you have any objections? After my death, Rong'er will definitely be honored with great honors. Do you have any objections to his re-instatement?"
Guo Wei's tone became stern, and the supreme majesty could not help but spread, making the two people kneeling under the bed feel shocked.
"I don't dare Chongjin. Let the emperor decide everything." Although there was a hint of unwillingness in Li Chongjin's eyes, he still lowered his head and said solemnly.
"If you are brave and good at fighting, Rong'er is indeed not as good as you, but when it comes to governing the country, you are not as good as Rong'er. You must know this. Since the founding of our country, the Zhou Kingdom has cultivated its moral integrity and must first strengthen its national strength so that the people can live forever.
Hedonic industry. If a country cannot prosper and prosper, and the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, then the country is not far from being destroyed. What's more, all the countries around the Zhou Kingdom are watching with eager eyes. If you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal disaster. But I have no choice but to die.
At the end of the day, we were unable to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is a pity in my life."
Guo Wei calmed down his emotions, and slowly spoke to the two people kneeling under the bed, while his eyes showed a touch of loss. In life, if you are not completely satisfied, there must be some regrets.
However, Guo Wei's lifelong regret was that he did not regain the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, leaving the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains exposed to the iron cavalry of the barbarians in the north.
"Zhongjin understands that in the future, Zhongjin will definitely support the new emperor, work hard and die." The unwillingness in Li Chongjin's eyes began to gradually dissipate, replaced by a firm light.
"Okay, I'm relieved with your words. Please step aside. I and Rong'er still have something to say." Guo Wei waved his hand. Li Chongjin, as if relieved, stood up and walked out slowly.
At the palace gate, he didn't know that his back was already wet. Everyone knows that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although he is Guo Wei's nephew, he is first and foremost a minister. Feeling the people around him
After the fluctuating breath began to calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that as long as he showed a little dissatisfaction just now, he would probably have no choice but to lie down and go out.
Walking in the corridor outside the palace, looking at the bright moonlight, Li Chongjin knew that he had lost all chances to fight, and he could only face reality. Thinking of this, a helpless smile appeared on his face
, his heart felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground, and he regained the bloody temperament that a warrior should have, and walked along the corridor outside the palace with his head held high.
A figure appeared behind him like a ghost, but it was a eunuch holding a fly whisk. The eunuch had a pale and bloodless face and looked coldly at Li Chongjin who was slowly leaving. Waiting for the general
Disappeared in front of his eyes, and then he flashed like a ghost and disappeared into the shadows in the palace. No one knew about all this. Li Chongjin didn't notice it at all, and the silent eunuch didn't know where he came from.
Appear everywhere.
"Remember, after the death of the widow, all funeral arrangements should be kept simple. No extravagant state funerals are allowed. Paper clothes can be buried in the coffin. In addition, remember that each of the deceased in Hefu and Wei will have a pair of swords and armor, and in Chanzhou they will be buried with a Tongtian
Guan Jiangsha robe, and a Pingtian Guangun dragon robe to be buried in Tokyo. Don’t forget this matter." Guo Wei’s eyes began to glow with the afterglow before he died, and he ordered Chai Rong, and the sharp light shot out from his eyes.
He kept looking at Chai Rong with tears streaming down his face.
Chai Rong had already burst into tears. He nodded in response. Although he didn't know why Guo Wei arranged all this, as the prince, he still followed his last wish.
After Guo Wei explained these things, his breath began to relax a little. He recommended some capable ministers to Chai Rong, such as Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, who could be prime ministers to assist him. After he finished explaining these things,
He left with his full ambition.
The British leader Guo Wei died in the first year of Xiande in the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the evening of Renchen in the first lunar month, which was also the Shangyuan Festival.
Zhao Kuangyin was thoughtfully sitting in his courtyard, and behind him stood the Yellow River Siyi, Ma Chenghui and Zhao An. It has been ten days, and there is no news about the whereabouts of Ling Tianyun and Dugu Aoxue, and it is said that
Some bad news came out from the palace, and it all seemed to have a bad omen. Zhao Kuangyin also received a piece of news that shocked him even more. Master Huaisu disappeared while treating the emperor, and even that
Even Fu Heng from Shengyangmen could not find his whereabouts.
Is all this a conspiracy? Zhao Kuangyin wished he could divide his property into half. The emperor recovered from a serious illness on the first day of the new year, but his condition became more serious on the eleventh day. The Zhao family was tied up in the Great Zhou Kingdom.
On the chariot, one has to pay attention to the movements in the court at all times. Fortunately, the eldest brother Chai Rong can inherit the throne clearly and righteously, which is another good thing for the Zhao family.
"General Zhao, we have searched the whole city and have not found Mr. Ling and Miss Dugu. The members of the Feiqiao Battalion searched day and night and found nothing." Alai also appeared in the Zhao Mansion at this time, and he reported to Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin's face was very ugly. Everything was going in a good direction, but something unexpected happened, which really caught him off guard. And his father entered the palace again, and the whereabouts of Master Huaisu has not been found yet.
, that was a major matter related to the emperor's life. He divided the members of the Feique Battalion into two groups, one group continued to search for the whereabouts of Ling Tianyun and others, and the other group searched for the whereabouts of Master Huaisu, but all to no avail.
And return.
Just when he was upset, a melodious and empty bell suddenly sounded in the distance, and Zhao Kuangyin's face changed even more when he heard the bell.
"The Emperor has passed away." A thought flashed through his mind, but the bell did not stop. It rang melodiously and emptyly, making everyone's hearts suddenly shake, as if they had lost something. He
I couldn't believe the thoughts that flashed through my mind, but what appeared on my face was a trace of unconcealable sadness.
The melodious and melancholy bells echoed in the sky above this ancient and majestic imperial capital. The starlight in the starry sky suddenly dimmed a lot, causing the people who were filled with joy to fall silent for a while. They didn't know what happened, but in their hearts
At the same time, a wordless sadness arose. Their chests seemed to be blocked by something, and the sadness rising from the bottom of their hearts blew into their minds like a gust of wind.
The pedestrians and passers-by who were laughing and chatting on the street, and the luxurious luxury guests who were indulged in the feasting and feasting, all fell into silence after hearing the melodious bells. Some looked pale, and some sighed.
Suddenly, some people felt inexplicable grief. Suddenly, as if an extremely strong cold wind blew through them overnight, the imperial capital suddenly fell into an inexplicable atmosphere of sorrow.
Zhao Kuangyin rode a horse and rushed out of the Zhao family courtyard like crazy, leaving everyone in the Zhao family with doubts and confusion. The sound of horse hooves also started on the street, and many wealthy families
They all walked out of their houses one after another. In the streets and alleys, there was the sound of thundering horse hooves, and the carriages and carriages headed in the same direction, which was the place that symbolized the imperial power, the imperial capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
.
Finally, Chai Rong successfully ascended the throne and became the second emperor of the great Zhou Kingdom. In the main hall, the solemn faces of the Chinese and military officials in front of him, and the loud shouts that shook the sky, made his blood boil. He finally stood up
At the highest point of the imperial capital, he could finally fulfill his great ambitions, and the world would eventually belong to him.
"Long live, long live, long live." All the officials in the court shouted, almost knocking off the roof of the hall. Their eyes showed eagerness and blazing light. The new master in front of them could give them
They couldn't help but secretly look forward to what great things it would bring.
Looking at all the officials in the court, Chai Rong's heart was even more boiling. The hardships caused by today's conscientious work and walking on thin ice have been swept away, but there is a bit of shamelessness hidden in his slightly elegant aura.
The majesty of the emperor. The civil and military officials in front of him all have familiar faces, but he, who is only in his thirties, is in the prime of life. He will lead them to open up a new great Zhou Dynasty, a bright and ambitious hegemony like no other.
of Dazhou.
With a wave of his hand, Chai Rong's eyes fell on the red-faced man at the end of the hundred officials, who had bright armor and a heroic look. Only then did a faint smile appear on his face. He was not concerned about Ling Tianyun's disappearance.
Knowing that the important events in the palace did not distract him, the two of them just looked at each other silently and gave out a knowing smile.
Feng Dao, who had gone through the former Tang Dynasty, the former Jin Dynasty, the former Han Dynasty, and the present Kingdom of the Zhou Dynasty, was named the Grand Master of the State. He stood at the front of the hundred officials, but at this time he was in high spirits and could not tell that he was a general.
The old man had a twilight-like face. It was just that his expression was a little weird. Guo Wei's death was more or less a shock to him.
The other civil and military officials looked at the young master with their own concerns. Some were happy, some were secretly regretful, and some were afraid alone. They also did not expect that the emperor Guo Wei, who reported the good news that he had recovered from a serious illness, would become ill after the New Year.
He got worse and died suddenly on the night of the Lantern Festival. All this caught them off guard and made them panic. After all, the new master in front of them was not familiar to them.
In the front of the hundred officials, in addition to Feng Dao, there are also Fan Zhi and Wang Pu, who were mentioned by Guo Wei before his death. They will obviously take on the important position of prime minister and become the pillars of the country in this great Zhou Dynasty. Among the military attachés, besides Li Chongjin, there are also
There are Zhang Yongde and they are all young warriors, as energetic as this young country.
On the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month of the first year of the Xiande Period of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guo Wei died of illness. Chai Rong formally ascended the throne in front of his body and proclaimed his succession, becoming the second emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
