After Qiu Yizhi heard this, he quickly turned his attention to the emperor and saw him slumped on the edge of the bed, his hands hanging down weakly, his eyes were cloudy and dim, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was talking. It seemed like he was struggling to breathe.
Next to the emperor stood a man in black who was so short that he was almost shrunken. The man took off the black gauze covering his face and said with a smile: "Master, I see you again..." After saying that, he put his hand on the emperor's shoulder.
This person is the Yuchi family aunt who served Wen Honghui loyally.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Xin immediately scolded: "Who are you? You dare to touch the dragon body. This is a major crime of deceiving the emperor and a crime of disrespect. Don't you want to live?"
This old Yuchi woman has reached the advanced level of martial arts, and her courage is naturally extraordinary. She was not intimidated by Zheng Xin's words at all. Instead, she replied with a smile: "Your Highness, please keep your voice down, don't scare my old lady. Just now. You asked me to tap the emperor's acupuncture points to force him to write an edict of abdication. I'm afraid this sin is much greater than if I touched the dragon's body, right? After all, the old woman died a hundred or two hundred times. Don’t die more than once or twice.”
After hearing this, Qiu Yizhi already knew the whole story and became even more angry. He pointed at Zheng Xin and scolded: "Zheng Xin, look at who you are using! Wen Honghui, a cult leader, did something like this before. Not to mention how many sins he has committed, he dares to be so disrespectful to the emperor. How do you expect such an ambitious wolf to achieve great things through him? "
Zheng Xin blushed at what Qiu Yizhi said and felt a little embarrassed. He was thinking about how to respond when he heard Wen Honghui say: "What's the big deal? 'No matter what the trivial matter is,' what's more, if His Highness Look at me as a hindrance to your hands, feet, and eyesight. When the job is done, you will be the emperor and you will naturally be able to get rid of us."
Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard the news - why did Wen Honghui say such words? Could it be that he would rather risk his life than disturb the peace of the world? Or do you have any other plans
Everyone was silent for a moment, but Wen Lingjiao, who was standing behind Qiu Yi, said: "Brother, can't you just calm down? I can see how many things you have done. You have lived up to your ancestor's ambition. However, When today's numbers haven't changed, it's hard to go against fate. If you have enough money now, you can't go back and live a peaceful life for a few days. Even if there are fools and sycophants in the future, and the people's morale is unstable, it won't be too late to make a comeback. !”
After hearing this, Wen Honghui was furious: "When a girl is raised, she belongs to others after all. To do such a big thing, the first helper I wanted to find was you, but I didn't expect that you were the first one." The person who betrayed me. If you hadn't brought this little thief Qiu Yizhi, the big thing would have been successful. How dare you, a little bitch, to mention your ancestor's ambitions in front of me?"
Wen Lingjiao replied: "Brother, I am here to save you! The Tianzun Cult was passed down to you in my previous life, but you have tossed it over the past few years until there are only a few people left. If you fall down again, you will be killed." I'm afraid I won't be able to get up anymore. You were right. Now that Zheng Xin has become the emperor, how can he allow you to stay in front of him? You will be the first to be dealt with. Do you still have a way to survive for our Wen family? ?"
Wen Lingjiao said these words sincerely, but unexpectedly, Wen Honghui was unwilling to answer at all. He turned around and said to Zheng Xin: "Your Highness, now is not the time for quarrels. Why don't you quickly ask the emperor to write an abdication edict? When the time comes, it will be done." Wang Baikou, everything belongs to you and you have the final say. What are you still hesitating about?"
This sentence reminded Zheng Xin, and he did not say anything. He walked up to the emperor Zheng Rong, bowed deeply and said: "Father, the world is surrounded by crises and all kinds of wastes are rising. Government affairs are so busy. Father is tired of his work. I am afraid that it will be difficult to cope with it. I sincerely ask my father to give me the throne. After my son ascends to the throne, he will work day and night and eat at night, so as to create a prosperous Han Dynasty. "
Emperor Zheng Rong's acupuncture points were tapped. His body had no strength, but his mind was very clear. After hearing Zheng Xin's words, his eyes almost burst into flames. He exerted all his strength and only said two words: "Dream!" "
Zheng Xin had expected that the emperor would refuse, but he did not expect that he would refuse so simply. However, he was not discouraged and said: "Father, it is a legislative rule to establish a legitimate son and eldest son. A son is both a legitimate son and the eldest son. It is only natural for me to serve you. I just saw that the emperor was so tired from state affairs that I took the burden of the world on my shoulders out of a pure filial piety. I asked my father to be able to do so. considerate.”
Zheng Rong just roared angrily and was gasping for air, so he didn't answer immediately.
Qiu Yizhi was afraid that the emperor was unconscious, so he was persuaded by Zheng Xin and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. He asked Master Zhongli to write an abdication edict, but Master Zhongli refused and was forced to death by him. Like The emperor must not pass the throne to a traitor like Zheng Xin who has no king or father!"
Emperor Zheng Rong was obviously shocked by the news. His eyes widened even more. He even forgot to breathe and asked loudly: "Mr. Zhongli is dead?"
Qiu Yiyi remembered that Zhongli Kuang had been loyal and diligent all his life, but he ended up being forced to death by his own land. He burst into tears and burst into tears: "Yes... yes... yes..."
Zheng Rong suddenly got the strength from nowhere, stood up suddenly, straightened his body and scanned everyone, and suddenly said loudly: "Kneel down, everyone!"
Zheng Rong's decree was so majestic and calm that everyone present was frightened by his supreme kingly aura and knelt down involuntarily.
Qiu Yizhi heard Zheng Rong speak with great enthusiasm, and regained the awe-inspiring and inviolable imperial dignity of the past. Her hanging heart suddenly relaxed for the most part, and she pricked up her ears to listen to the emperor's instructions.
Just listen to Emperor Zheng Rong say: "Zheng Xin, you are trying to gain undue blessings. You killed your mentor and intimidated your father. You will never be able to apologize for your sins even if you die. Now, you will be stripped of all titles, all positions, and all military power, and you will be imprisoned by Qiu Yi." Get up and wait for me to fall. The supreme position in the world is a valuable one and cannot be occupied by anyone without both ability and political integrity. I have decided to make Zheng Miao, the third son of the emperor, the crown prince. He will study government affairs with me and inherit it a hundred years from now. Datong, inherit the legacy of our ancestors for generations.”
Qiu Yizhi had long heard from the emperor that he wanted his third brother Zheng Miao to inherit the throne. Today he finally said it bluntly. Qiu Yizhi felt that the situation was as if the clouds were clearing, and he couldn't help but kowtow to the ground and said: "Your Majesty has foresight, With a high vision, the third son of the emperor will be able to inherit his ancestral legacy and lead a prosperous age!"
Zheng Rong nodded and praised: "What Yi Zhi said is very good! It's also good that you can make a prompt decision to counter the rebellion! I leave the defense of 'Qingya Temple' here to you, and I also leave this ruthless villain Zheng Xin to me. Leave it to you. Please escort him down for me, his face looks disgusting to me!"
After hearing this unmistakable imperial edict, Qiu Yizhi suddenly became energetic. He immediately stood up and said to Zheng Xin: "According to the order, the traitor Zheng Xin will be imprisoned. Zheng Xin, if you don't surrender, don't take action." , hurting the dignity of Tianjia.”
Zheng Xin went from being the eldest son of the emperor and His Highness, who held a high position of authority, to becoming a prisoner at the mercy of others in the blink of an eye. How could he be willing to do so? However, the majesty of the emperor did not allow him to resist forcefully, so he stood up slowly. , while still thinking about the reversal strategy.
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting and chaos outside, and I heard someone shouting to the emperor's palace: "Report to the emperor, Zheng Sen is here. I heard that someone was making trouble here, so I took the initiative to bring troops in to calm down." Difficulty, all the soldiers outside have been disarmed, and everything will be handled according to the will of the emperor. "
Zheng Sen was the second son of the emperor. Although he was a martial artist and a bit rude, his loyalty and filial piety to the emperor was extremely reliable. Therefore, he led the army to occupy "Qingya Temple" although he took Qiu Yi's subordinate Zhao Chengxiao. He was also disarmed. Qiu Yizhi felt relieved and shouted to the outside: "It turns out that the second brother has arrived. I am Qiu Yizhi. Now the emperor has captured the rebels. Please ask the second brother to come in now." We ordered him to be escorted down!"
Qiu Yizhi was waiting for Zheng Sen outside the door to answer when he suddenly heard a very dull shout. He quickly followed the sound and turned around, only to see Emperor Zheng Rong with a sharp knife stuck in his chest, a bright red Blood was flowing along the silver-white blade, dyeing a large area of the emperor's bright yellow dragon robe red.
What? emperor? On your body? Have a knife
Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he saw such a scene. His soul seemed to have been separated from his body, and his body was completely disobedient. He stood there blankly, at a loss.
Zheng Xin was also horrified and immediately asked: "Wen Honghui, what are you doing? This is regicide. It will be cut into pieces and the nine clans will be implicated!"
It turned out that Wen Honghui took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and ordered the old aunt of Yuchi's family to take action. This old woman from the Yuchi family was extremely powerful in martial arts, and she acted suddenly. Even two martial arts masters, Yuchi Lianghong and Yuchi Jiming, who were very close at hand, had no time to notice her actions.
The emperor was hit by such a knife that penetrated deeply into his internal organs. The strength in his legs slowly drained away with the loss of blood, and finally he slowly collapsed.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi rushed to the emperor's side, grabbed him, slowly helped him to lie down on the dragon bed, and shouted in a tearful tone: "Yuchi Lianghong, what are you doing standing still? Come here quickly. Stop the emperor’s bleeding!”
Yuchi Lianghong was a practicing practitioner. Although he was not a famous doctor, he was used to seeing such wounds, so asking him to rescue the emperor first was not an unreasonable request.
Hearing Yuchi Lianghong's "Oh" in agreement, he walked up to the emperor, said "Excuse me" and then pulled open the dragon robe, revealing Zheng Rong's bare chest. Hearing him take another breath of cold air, he reached out and tapped a few acupuncture points near the wound. The blood spurting out suddenly decreased a lot, and the emperor's breathing seemed to calm down a bit.
Qiu Yi saw some improvement and asked hurriedly: "Brother, is the emperor's injury okay?"
Yuchi Lianghong shook his head: "The emperor's injury was too serious. I just sealed the blood around the wound to make the emperor feel a little more comfortable. I am afraid that even the reincarnation of Shennong will not be able to save the emperor's life... "
Although Zheng Xin forced the emperor to go to the palace, he had no intention of killing his father and the emperor, and he did not want to bear the bad name of regicide. When he heard this, he immediately knelt down next to the emperor's gradually cold body, and accused Wen Honghui in mourning: " Wen Honghui, who told you to take action? You committed a huge crime and trapped me into injustice. I will kill you with my own hands!"
Wen Honghui remained unmoved and said coldly: "Your Highness, please don't blame me wrongly. I am here to help you. Think about it, the emperor just decreed that the throne should be passed on to His Highness the Third Highness, but after all, we are the only ones here." I personally know that if His Highness the Second Highness outside the door hears it, then this decree will be confirmed, and you will never have a chance to stand up from now on. And now, the Emperor is dead, and you are the eldest son. According to etiquette, you should be the eldest son. Emperor, 'one mouth, two skins', you keep your word, even if Qiu Yizhi, a little thief, killed the emperor, think about it, is this the truth? "
