Chapter 238 Emperor Collapse

The emperor was seriously ill and could not attend the morning court. After some discussion, the civil and military officials went back to the Yamen to run their errands.

That afternoon, news came that King Jin was unharmed and was about to return to Beijing.

Jiang Changning smiled brightly and said to the concubine: "Mother concubine, I said that the prince will return safely, was he right?"

"Everything you said is right." The concubine knew that her son was safe and sound, and she felt refreshed.

Most people in the world acted according to the prevailing situation. When they learned that King Jin was fine, the officers and soldiers guarding King Jin's Mansion no longer stopped people from entering and exiting King Jin's Mansion.

The next day, Yan Yinyao took Princess Kangren and Zeng Mi to pick up King Jin at the city gate. Jiang Changning was pregnant and did not go.

When entering the city, the King of Jin was sitting high on his horse, wearing a black attire and a black cloak, looking very majestic and majestic.

"Uncle Wang."

"Uncle cousin."

Princess Kangren and Zeng Mi stood on the second floor of the teahouse and shouted loudly.

King Jin heard this, smiled at them, and waved.

"Ah, Your Majesty!" The women who were watching all exclaimed, "Your Majesty, you are looking at me."

"The prince sees me."

"I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at me."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am here."

Yan Yinyao pursed her lips and smiled, "My cousin is still as popular with women as ever."

"I heard from them that there are many women who want to enter the palace to serve the prince," the maid said.

Yan Yinyao asked casually: "What about you?"

"Slave, I don't dare." The maid lowered her head and said.

Yan Yinyao said solemnly: "Don't worry about some thoughts, it won't be good for you." After a pause, "I ignored it. You are not young anymore, it's time for you to marry someone."

As soon as the maid's legs bent, she was about to kneel down. Another maid next to her quickly supported her.

"If there's anything, let's talk about it when we get home." Yan Yinyao ignored her and looked out the window again.

The King of Jin was stopped by a servant from the palace.

The chamberlain came with the Queen's oral instructions, "Your Majesty, the Queen summons you to enter the palace immediately to discuss something."

King Jin frowned. He came to the city in a high profile to spread the news that the emperor was seriously ill. But why was the empress the queen who summoned him to the palace?

Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate for the Queen Mother to issue the order.

We still have something to discuss!

By saying this, aren't you afraid of arousing people's imagination?

"Why did the Queen summon me? But something happened to His Majesty?" King Jin asked deliberately.

The waiter hesitated, not sure whether to tell the truth or not.

The King of Jin added: "The harem is not allowed to interfere with the government's affairs. I am afraid that I will not accept the Queen's call."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty does not want to interfere in the affairs of the state. Your Majesty is suddenly seriously ill. The Queen Mother and the Empress have already issued a decree to summon other adults to the palace." The chamberlain said eagerly.

It was the Queen's wish to summon the King of Jin. The Queen Mother was not willing, but she could not stop it and just acquiesced.

"Why did your Majesty become seriously ill?" King Jin asked again knowingly.

The chamberlain didn't know how to answer, and King Jin didn't need him to answer. He immediately continued: "The doctors from the imperial hospital are behind. Let them enter the palace with me to treat your majesty."

After such publicity, everyone knew that the emperor was seriously ill.

Pessimistic people are thinking, is there another national mourning?

Optimistic people are thinking that the white cloth piled up in the warehouse can be sold.

King Jin entered the palace and saw the half-dead emperor on the bed. He curled up his lips and said, "I don't care if I hurt him again and again, but I still dare to covet his princess. I really think he has no temper, right?"

The emperor used all his strength to glare at King Jin hatefully.

It was a pity that neither the Queen Mother nor the Queen knew how to read minds, so they could not hear his inner screams.

The doctors at the imperial hospital all checked the emperor's pulse, but none of them diagnosed the emperor as having any illness.

King Qing, King De, King Yu, General Song, Shangshu, several princes, county princes and other officials were summoned into the palace, and everyone was waiting in the side hall.

Everyone knows what they are waiting for. They are waiting for the emperor's death and the decree to pass on the throne.

From afternoon to evening, a chamberlain came in and said: "My lords, the Queen Mother has announced the summons."

The officials filed in, and seeing the unconscious emperor, they could already predict that he was about to die.

The Queen Mother and the Queen held the veil, covered their mouths, and cried.

"You two queens, please express your condolences." Duke Xinjian said bravely.

The emperor is about to die, and the funeral arrangements have to be made. No matter how much you cry, you can't bring the emperor back to life.

The Queen Mother wiped away her tears and said, "A bachelor of labor has prepared a decree."

"Yes, empress." A middle-aged official replied.

Although the emperor only has one son, an imperial edict to pass the throne must be written.

After the meeting, Academician Fang came to show the Empress Dowager the imperial edict he had prepared. Since it was prepared by Academician Fang and not spoken by the emperor, there were no modest words in the imperial edict. It was all flattery.

Why do we want to bring peace to the sea and the universe, and the people will be happy with their work, work diligently, be careful and respectful, work day and night, and never slack off?

And work hard, just like working hard for a day

If I hadn't known that the emperor had already ascended the throne and had accomplished nothing, just listening to this edict, I would have mistakenly thought that the emperor was a wise king.

At this time, the emperor suddenly opened his eyes, looked straight ahead, and said with squirming lips: "Jin"

He wanted to say that it was King Jin who poisoned him, but he only said one word and tilted his head.

The head of the hospital touched his neck and shook his head.

Eunuch Yu shouted with choked sobs: "The emperor has passed away!"

"Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

The Queen Mother and the Queen burst into tears, their tears rolling down like broken beads.

People in the room cried and knelt down one after another. Whether they were really sad or fake, they all looked sad at this time.

"The country cannot live without a king for a day. Go and invite the emperor to make arrangements for the funeral of the late emperor." The queen who was about to become the queen mother said solemnly.

Although the new emperor was less than three years old and did not know how to arrange the funeral of the previous emperor, it must be in his name.

The funeral arrangements can be easily arranged, but the biggest problem now is that the new emperor is too young to manage the government.

Someone must support the new emperor and make decisions for the new emperor.

Is the Queen Mother coming to court?

Or the Prince Regent?

The Duke of Sui Dynasty wanted the Queen Mother to come to the court, and several princes wanted the prince to be the regent.

General Song approached the Duke of Sui and said, "I am willing to join hands with you to allow the Queen Mother to come to the court, but the new emperor must also respect the concubine, the adoptive mother, as the Queen Mother."

Duke Sui sneered, "You can imagine how beautiful it is."

"If you don't join forces with me, can you, the Duke of Sui, be able to deal with those princes?" General Song asked with a confident smile.

The Duke of Sui Dynasty was silent for a long time and then said: "Okay."

But he agreed, but his daughter, the former empress, refused, "That bitch has the nerve to call herself the adoptive mother. She has only raised the new emperor for so long, and she deserves to be respected as the queen mother."

"She is just a concubine. She can't even imagine being called the Queen Mother together with me."

"Father, the man named Song is as cunning as a fox. If you join forces with him, you are seeking the skin of a tiger. Besides, even if you join forces with the man named Song, do you think you can win against those princes?"

Duke Sui fell into deep thought.
