When the time was approaching, all the ministers in the court received news from the palace and asked them to enter the palace quickly.
At this moment, outside the palace gate, officials were queuing up to enter the palace holding tokens.
Some of the waiting officials were frightened and some were very sad. They were called into the palace in the middle of the night. Everyone guessed what happened!
When Zishi arrived, Taiyuan Hospital took a look at Prince An.
Prince An nodded.
Taiyuan Hospital quickly opened the door and ran out. He was so anxious that he tripped over the high threshold and fell down outside the door.
A "pop" sound startled the sleepy people waiting outside the door.
The seventh prince quickly stood up from the ground: "How is father!"
The Taiyuan Hospital said with a panicked look: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... He is not well! The princes, please go in and see the Emperor! Quick, quick... Go and inform the empress, princes and princesses in the palace, let them … Come and see the Emperor.”
The maids and eunuchs sent by various palaces to guard outside Zichen Palace ran away as quickly as if they were frightened!
The seventh prince quickly ran in.
The third prince sat aside, his head lowered a little, his body trembled with excitement, and he woke up quickly: "Father~!"
He quickly rushed into the house!
The eldest grandson glanced in a certain direction, then quickly turned back and rushed into the room with a worried look on his face: "Grandfather!"
Prince Ning's old bones were a little slower. He got up, staggered a bit, and then ran in.
The imperial hospital waited for four people to run in before getting up from the ground and said to the imperial doctors: "The acupuncture has no effect. The emperor is not well. Please go and have a look."
The faces of all the imperial doctors changed, and they secretly cursed the imperial hospital for being unkind!
Are you trying to drag them into the water at this time
In the room, the third prince pulled away the seventh prince who was kneeling beside the dragon bed. He howled directly and threw himself on the emperor, holding the emperor's head with his whole body: "Father~~! Father, wake up! Wake up. Wake up! Father, don’t leave me!"
The seventh prince was pulled by the third prince and stumbled to the ground. He silently got up and knelt down.
Seeing this, the others also knelt down.
The third prince held the emperor's head and cried loudly: "Father, wake up, wake up... I'm back, I'm back after winning the battle... "
The third prince cried more and more and became more and more excited. He cried to the point of sadness. He was so sad that he couldn't help shaking the emperor's body: "Father, please wake up, my son is back! I led the troops to capture several Dongling Tombs. Where is the city! Father, are you happy?..."
"Father, are you awake?!" The third prince suddenly stiffened.
Then he quickly put his ear to the emperor's mouth: "Father, what did you say?"
Everyone also quickly raised their heads.
The third prince knelt on the dragon bed, his ear pressed against the emperor's mouth, blocking everyone's view.
No one could see whether the emperor really woke up.
The third prince shook his head: "No, father, you will be fine!"
The eldest emperor's grandson's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stepped forward and leaned over: "Emperor Grandfather!"
Everyone saw the emperor's hand suddenly slipping weakly from the third prince's leg.
Then the third prince suddenly hugged the emperor and howled loudly: "Father, father,... wuwu... Father, don't leave me! I don't want the throne, I just want father!"
The eldest emperor's grandson's expression changed and he quickly reached out to pull the third prince away: "Grandfather!"
The third prince took the opportunity and his body softened, falling directly from the bed to the ground. He covered his face and said with a sad look on his face: "Father, wuwu..."
The eldest grandson stretched out his hand to feel the emperor's breath, and then touched the emperor's neck. He looked grief-stricken and said: "Grandfather! Imperial physician, come and take a look."
At this time, the second prince, Concubine Li and everyone in the harem hurried in and saw people kneeling on the ground.
His face turned pale, his knees softened, and he knelt down: "Father!"
Concubine Li and the concubines in the harem burst into tears and cried out in unison: "Your Majesty!"
Taiyuan Hospital passed the crowd, walked to the dragon bed, knelt down and felt the emperor's breath.
He couldn't help but wailed: "The Emperor has passed away!"
"Woooo..."
"Father..."
"Your Majesty..."
…
Cries kept coming and going.
For a moment, everyone kneeling in the entire Zichen Palace covered their faces and cried bitterly!
Everyone's shoulders were hunched, and they were so sad that they couldn't help themselves.
The ministers outside Zichen Palace also knelt on the ground, with grief on their faces.
Shangshu Hube wiped his eyes and looked up at the night sky.
There was sadness in my heart. A generation of sage kings had passed away. All the ministers who cared about their family, country and the world were heartbroken.
At this time, the eldest princess and the eldest prince hurriedly walked in with their great-grandson in their arms.
The two stumbled to the dragon bed and knelt down.
Naturally, there was another cry of grief.
At this time, naturally no one thought about why the eldest prince appeared.
…
The sky gradually gets brighter.
Everyone had been kneeling for half the night, and it was time to start discussing the funeral arrangements.
There are regulations for the burial of the Nalan emperor.
First, the new owner must be invited to preside over the funeral in accordance with the imperial edict. If the new owner is young, the Queen Mother and the minister appointed by the imperial edict should be invited to preside over the funeral together.
He also announced to the world that the country would mourn for three years and the whole country would mourn and all vocal music would be prohibited.
In addition to promulgating the imperial edict, five envoys to the mountains and mausoleums and officials responsible for other funeral matters must also be appointed.
At this time, the Minister of Rites stood up and said to Eunuch Lin: "The emperor's funeral needs a new host. It's time to ask for the emperor's last edict!"
The eldest prince glanced at the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The Minister of Libu nodded secretly. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The third prince wiped his tears and said with a sad face: "My father's funeral needs someone to preside over it. Just before my father died, he told me personally that he would pass the throne to me! I will preside over my father's funeral! The Royal Guards, The Royal Forest Army obeyed the order and the capital was under martial law and no bells or drums were sounded. After the mourning, all the temples and palaces in the capital rang their bells 30,000 times."
When the officials heard this, many of them looked up at the third prince in disbelief
Did the emperor personally pass the throne to the third prince
How could the emperor pass the throne to the third prince
The second prince stood up angrily when he heard this: "Third Emperor brother, you said that the emperor passed down the throne to you personally? The emperor is unconscious, how can he pass on the throne to you personally?"
After the second prince finished speaking, he looked at Prince An, the seventh prince, and other ministers, and said, "Who just heard his father say that the throne will be passed on to him?"
Prince An looked at these unscrupulous people and wanted to slap them to death!
He said with a straight face: "I didn't hear you!"
Prince Ning also said: "I didn't hear what the emperor said."
Although he and the third prince always drink together, not everyone has the ability to sit in this supreme position.
Moreover, before the emperor's brother fell ill, he had to make a will and planned to pass the throne to his seventeenth brother.
Even if the establishment has not yet been successful, the late emperor still has a legacy, and the seventeenth brother of the emperor is determined to take this throne!
Others think that it is rebellion!
