A single carriage took Wei Lan and Luo Wei and walked in the snowstorm in the northern country. There were two charcoal stoves in the carriage, all the gaps were plugged with cotton, and Luo Wei sat inside, not feeling the cold outside the car at all. Wei Lan was outside the car, wrapped tightly around her body, with only her eyes and nose showing on her face. In the cold winter of the Northland, even someone like Wei Lan who has internal strength can't resist it, but every time he looks back at the people in the carriage and sees the smile on Luo Wei's face, Wei Lan doesn't stop. feel cold.
Here in Shangdu, the continuous rain has passed, and finally it started to snow.
Emperor Xingwu also reached the end of his life this winter, the day after the snow fell in Shangdu.
Early this morning, Emperor Xingwu, who had been delirious, suddenly woke up and said that he was thirsty.
The imperial physicians were happy for the first time, thinking that Emperor Xingwu had passed this level, but they all cried and lost their faces with the pulse of Emperor Xingwu. Their emperor was just returning to the light.
Long Xuan went to the Changming Palace and ordered all the princes to be sent to his Qingwen Palace to take care of them. He could not let these younger brothers sue him in front of the dying father and emperor.
"I heard that you were also sick?" Emperor Xingwu asked while lying on the dragon couch, looking at his second son who was kneeling in front of the couch.
"My son would rather be sick for the father," Long Xuan said, "The father is very good, and the son is relieved."
"It's useless," Emperor Xingwu wanted to smile at Long Xuan, but he couldn't move the corners of his mouth.
"Royal Father!" Long Xuan said with a cry: "You will be fine, don't scare the servants!"
Emperor Xingwu blinked and said, "Where's the crown prince? Where is your elder brother now? Ask him to come see me."
"My son has already ordered someone to call His Highness the Crown Prince," Long Xuan said hurriedly, "Father, please wait for the eldest brother for a while."
"Is he still alive?" Emperor Xingwu suddenly asked Long Xuanfa.
Long Xuan was startled.
"He's gone," Emperor Xingwu noticed the change in Long Xuan's expression, and immediately affirmed: "You want to be the emperor, how could you still keep him alive?"
"Why does my son have such delusions?" Long Xuan hurriedly kowtowed: "Big brother will be here in a while, please wait a moment."
"I saw him," Emperor Xingwu said to Long Xuan, "He was standing by the pillar, but he refused to come forward. It seems that he came to pick me up."
After listening to Emperor Xingwu's words, Long Xuan felt chills all over his body, and it was also thanks to him that he was a mentally strong person, so he could not bear to look at Emperor Xingwu's eyes.
"There is an arrow stuck in his back," Emperor Xingwu said to Long Xuan quietly, "You shot him to death?"
"There is absolutely no such thing," Long Xuan said: "My father is wrong, the big brother will come from the East Palace in a while, this is the Changming Palace, how can there be such a ghost?"
"Long Xuan," Emperor Xingwu laughed, with a sad smile, "After you become emperor, remember to go to Huguo Temple and let Fuyi take you to the Nine-Story Pagoda."
"Is there really such a nine-layered pagoda?" Long Xuan asked in shock.
"Yes, why not?" Emperor Xingwu said: "By then you will know how the country of my Long family came from."
Long Xuan was thinking, is his father emperor lost his mind again? Is this another unbelievable nonsense? He has been to Huguo Zen Temple more than once, and there is no nine-story pagoda in that temple!
"You really feel that Jiangshan is in your hands," Emperor Xingwu said to Long Xuan at this moment: "I said that the legend is in you, and that's how you lead the way?"
Long Xuan was busy and solemn again, and bowed his head to Emperor Xingwu: "My son has little knowledge and is embarrassed to take responsibility. The father is still at peace, and the son does not dare to accept this imperial decree of the father."
"The dead don't ask about the living," Emperor Xingwu said, "Call Luo Xiang and the others in, I have something to say."
"Father!"
"Don't worry, I decided to pass on you, so I won't say anything bad to you," Emperor Xingwu waved his hand weakly, "Let them come in."
The ministers filed in, all with their heads lowered, preventing others from seeing their expressions at this time.
Emperor Xingwu only looked at Luo Zhiqiu, who was standing at the top of all the ministers, and said, "Luo Xiang, you want to resign, I will accept it."
Luo Zhiqiu knelt down and thanked him when he was busy.
Long Xuan stood aside, his face cold.
After Luo Zhiqiu thanked him, Emperor Xingwu said: "The prince has lost his virtue and let me down. My second son, Long Xuan, has a strong personality, and his intelligence was superior to his brothers since childhood. Compared with the prince, this son can take on a great responsibility. Now I It is rumored that the great is located in him."
Long Xuan knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xingwu.
Then all the ministers knelt down to Long Xuan together and congratulated Long Xuan.
Emperor Xingwu extended his hand to Long Xuan.
Long Xuan held his father's hand. This hand used to be a hand that could kill the enemy, but now it's just thin and weak.
"Xuan," Emperor Xingwu said to Long Xuan, "It's not good for people to have too many murderous thoughts. Your brothers, you have to be kind."
"My son must be kind to his younger brothers," Long Xuan said.
"Luo Xiang has done his best for the country all his life. After he goes into seclusion, you must not disturb his tranquility. Even if you look at Xiao Wei's side, you must let him end in a happy life."
"Your Majesty!" Luo Zhiqiu knelt on the ground and cried.
"My son, please bear in mind what the emperor said," Long Xuan agreed, and kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xingwu again.
"I have tried my best to be born in the country," Emperor Xingwu was already weak at this time, and his voice became weak, only Long Xuan, who was kneeling in front of his bed, could still hear the emperor's dying words, "I just Ashamed of a mother and son, Zhimian has never worn a wedding dress in this life, and Wei Er has never called a father to the emperor in this life. This country is too heavy, Long Xuan, you will be alone from now on, so you can do it yourself."
"Royal Father!" Long Xuan shouted to Emperor Xingwu, and a line of tears finally fell.
Emperor Xingwu turned his head, and he didn't know when the peach blossoms were flying in the Changming Hall. He opened his eyes in vain. In the depths of the peach blossoms, who was that girl whose skirt was also embroidered with peach blossoms? When Emperor Xingwu was about to take a closer look at this girl, the peach blossoms rained and became violent again, and the peach blossoms of a tree were enchanting. Who was that young man in a spring shirt? The fluttering peach blossoms confused the eyes of a generation of emperors. He couldn't see clearly. Emperor Xingwu broke away Long Xuan's hand and stretched his hand forward. Why were those two figures so far away from him? Don't want to see him again
Long Xuan stretched out his hand, tried Emperor Xingwu's breath, and then shouted: "Emperor doctor!"
Imperial Physician Wei hurriedly knelt forward and took the pulse of Emperor Xingwu.
There were already people crying in Changming Hall.
"Your Majesty has returned to heaven!" Imperial Doctor Wei shouted loudly to Long Xuan.
Long Xuan also burst into tears.
There was a wailing sound in the Changming Hall.
"Long live my emperor!" When the death knell of the palace rang, Long Xuan also accepted the first kowtow from the ministers.
As soon as the first emperor left, the new emperor ascended the throne immediately, and the old and the new in the world changed, regardless of their status, they were always so inhumane.
