These days, the capital has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The wise king was killed for treason, and his mother, Concubine Qi, assisted her son in plotting a rebellion and was executed by nine tribes. Many others were implicated and executed.

Some officials who had participated in the conspiracy against the wise king were self-aware and knew that something was wrong, so they packed their bags and fled through the east gate where the guard was young.

But as soon as they arrived at the east gate, General Zhenwei Xiao Tianmo appeared and shouted to arrest the assassin. The soldiers who suddenly poured out quickly fired arrows without saying a word. The arrows rained down like rain, killing without mercy. For a moment, all the people who fled from the east gate were killed. Shot like a hedgehog.

Many people suddenly disappeared in the city.

A rebellion with wide implications.

For a time, the city of Kyoto was in chaos, and several abandoned market places that had been deserted for a long time were once again bustling with people. Every day, officials were taken to the execution ground for execution.

In various major families, Xiao Tianmo killed many people under orders, but he never massacred innocent people.

The march he led was so orderly and silent that some of the people could not even hear anything and could sleep peacefully.

Perhaps a few people heard the sound, but most of them stayed at home and would not go out!

Almost all those who were watching were driven away by the march to avoid seeing things they shouldn't see, but there were still some people who saw the blood all over the ground and were so frightened that they could not speak.

After a major clean-up, a major treason case completely disappeared and turned into nothing.

The army men went back to the camp where they were stationed.

The people in the city gradually returned to living and working in peace and contentment, and the market became lively.

The people seemed to be very forgetful. They were no longer gloomy and gloomy. They were all radiant and revitalized. The streets and alleys were full of life.

Inside Qian'an Hall.

There was only a handful of green smoke, swirling upwards and dispersing bit by bit in the air.

Prince Yan Zifeng was sitting in front of the writing desk, writing something.The characters on the official document are vigorous and powerful, majestic and unique.

An old eunuch with a wrinkled face walked over quickly, panting:

"Your Highness, the Holy One is awake and looking for you!"

Yan Zifeng immediately stood up in surprise, "Father is awake? Is this okay? It's really God's blessing!"

The old eunuch had a sad look on his face and said: "The imperial doctor said that this is a return of the Holy Spirit. I'm afraid... he won't be able to last three days."

Yan Zifeng's heart skipped a beat, and the official document in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.

He didn't bother to look down, turned around and ran towards the dormitory with long strides...

……

When Prince Yan Zifeng arrived, the white stone platform outside the palace was already full of civil and military officials. Queen Yu led the concubines and relatives of the emperor to kneel in the inner hall with tears in their eyes.

There was silence inside and outside the palace.

These clan members and senior ministers said nothing, but their hearts were as clear as a mirror:

Your Majesty, this is where the funeral arrangements will be made.

As early as three months ago, His Majesty's health began to deteriorate.It's not easy for him to persist until now, and everyone has actually been prepared for it.

Yan Zifeng walked into the palace and saw Emperor Yan Shengzong covering his chest and coughing several times.

The man in front of him was dying and no longer as majestic as before.

His face was sallow and haggard, almost humanoid, and he was obviously terminally ill. "Father! Father, you are finally awake." Yan Zifeng walked faster and quickly reached the bed.

Yan Shengzong heard someone shouting in his ears, his heart moved, and he opened his eyes with difficulty.

He rolled his dull eyes and saw the person standing in front of the hospital bed. A smile appeared on his frighteningly thin face: "Feng'er, you're here."

Yan Zifeng held his raised hand and responded with tears.

After a while, the corner of his mouth moved slightly, and he said in a low and slow voice:

"The fact that I can see you again is God's love for me. I am on my deathbed and will leave you soon, so I have a few words to say to you..."

When Yan Zifeng saw his father's dying appearance, his nose couldn't help but feel sour, and tears couldn't help pouring out, and he said with a trembling voice:

"Father, please don't say that. You will be fine. This minor illness will be cured soon. You are the emperor, and you will live a long life! No, long live!

"I know my body well. I'm afraid I'm doomed this time."

After a moment of silence, Yan Shengzong sighed and said, "Father, I really want to stay with you for a few more years, so that you can become more mature and capable, so that Father can rest assured. But God does not give up his birthday, so there is nothing I can do!"

"No, father, you must get better."

When Yan Zifeng heard this, he couldn't help but threw himself on the bed and cried sadly.

Yan Shengzong's heart was broken when he heard his son's sorrowful cries. He reached out with trembling hands, stroked his son's hair, and said emotionally:

"Feng'er, my father understands how you feel. You are so filial to my father, and my father will die without regrets. However, my father's body is clear to me, and I am afraid that there will be no time left."

"You don't have to be afraid. My father joined the army at the age of 16 and has gone through hundreds of battles. He has already put life and death aside, so he is not afraid of death. What he is afraid of is that you can't govern the world well and hold on to this hard-won great country. .”

"Feng'er, can you watch for my father, watch the world, watch the prosperous and peaceful world of my Dayan?"

This situation makes people feel sad.Yan Zifeng's eyes turned red, he held Yan Shengzong's hand tightly and said:

"No, father... don't say that, you are the emperor, and God will bless you..."

"The emperor will also die. This is the common way of human beings. Don't force it."

Yan Shengzong looked at his son in front of him and smiled openly, then coughed violently, and his chest rose and fell sharply. After he calmed down, he said intermittently:
"Feng'er... you... must do your best... to govern Dayan well, work diligently and love the people, and spread kindness widely... so that the foundation of the country will last forever."

"Yes, Father, I must obey my father's instructions and practice them personally so as to live up to my father's trust." Yan Zifeng replied with tears in his eyes.

Yan Shengzong summoned Xiao Tianmo into the palace again and said slowly:

"Both of you, father and son, are my loyal ministers. Your father has known me since he was a child, and has supported me along the way. He has also assisted me in my achievements. He was also my best friend. It is a pity that he died young."

"Now that my time has come, and the prince is young, I know that you have done your best for me and are loyal to Dayan. From today on, the prince regards you as his brother. I hope you will not forget the past feelings and do your best to assist the prince. Don’t let me lose my prestige as Dayan.”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to guard the new emperor and live up to His Majesty's high expectations."

Xiao Tianmo knelt in front of the emperor and replied with his hands in hand. His eyes were filled with tears and he was very sad.

When Yan Shengzong heard Xiao Tianmo's statement, a smile of relief broke out on his bloodless face.

For a time, the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly sad.

After finishing the last sentence, Yan Shengzong stopped to breathe for a while, and then stretched out his hand with great effort to hold his crying son:
"Feng'er... my father has entrusted you with the important task of protecting my world... You must work hard to create a peaceful world so that the country can be stable and the world... prosperous..."

After saying this, he finally took his last breath, and his hands dropped weakly.
