The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1353 The deadline has come
The queen mother glanced at Zhao Guangye who was lying on the edge of the collapse and weeping silently, and nodded involuntarily.After all, it's come to this point, the emperor passed away, what about the rest of Brother Ye?You have to make plans for Brother Ye.

"You will handle this matter!" The queen mother glanced at Gu Chengyu, couldn't help thinking of something, and planned to dismiss him.

Gu Chengyu nodded clearly, and replied respectfully: "Yes!"

"He can't go, cough cough! He has to stay!" The emperor's weak voice sounded, and Gu Chengyu turned to look at the awakened emperor.

"Dun'er!" The queen mother hesitated to speak, and after a long pause, she could only wipe her tears with a handkerchief.

"Jinyu! Come here, queen, you go out first!" The emperor looked at the queen, he knew that his time had come, and if he didn't hurry up to explain his funeral, he was afraid it would be too late.

"Father!" Zhao Guangye grabbed the emperor's hand with all his strength, he was afraid, afraid that his father would leave him just like that.

Although he is young, he has grown up in intrigues since he was a child, so he is naturally not as ignorant as ordinary children.With his father's appearance like this, he definitely couldn't make it through.

He had been immersed in the sadness of his blindness before, and it was always his father who came to comfort him.He only knew that his father was not in good health these days, but he did not expect his father's condition to be so serious.He regretted, regretted not spending more time with his father, and even lost his temper at him.

"Brother Ye, don't cry! You have grown up, you can no longer cry easily. Father can no longer accompany you to grow up, you must listen to the words of the emperor's grandmother and queen mother in the future, and don't let your temper!"

The emperor raised his hands with difficulty, and stroked Zhao Guangye's hairy head.Feeling the temperature under the palm, the emperor's eyes could not help showing a bit of nostalgia.When this kind of time really comes, he still misses the world.

The queen wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and looked at the emperor in disbelief.Didn't the emperor have anything to say to her before he died?This is not to believe her?Otherwise, she won't be avoided!
"You go out first!" Seeing that the queen was standing still, the queen mother pointed her to let her go out.

The queen glanced at Zhao Guangye before leaving, and saw that the emperor was holding Zhao Guangye's hand, the queen had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

"Jinyu, queen mother, I know that my time has come. After I return, the throne will be passed on to brother Ye!" The emperor panted slightly, but at this moment he was a little more energetic than before.Perhaps, this is what people often say is the reflection of the light?

"Dun'er!" The queen mother was heartbroken, and she slumped on the side of the bed and wept silently.

The emperor felt very uncomfortable when he saw it. He wanted to comfort the crying mother, but there was nothing he could do.

"Father, didn't you say that you will take your son to the hunting ground to hunt? You also said that you will hunt a deer for your son." Zhao Guangye couldn't see the expression on the emperor's face at this time, and he anxiously grabbed the emperor's hand. Hand, he felt the temperature in his hand getting cooler little by little.

"Brother Ye, be obedient, father is out of time!" The emperor turned his gaze to Gu Chengyu, with pleading in his eyes.

"I've already drawn up the imperial decree for passing on the throne, and it's in that secret compartment. After I return, I'll leave it to you to announce the decree. Jinyu! Brother Ye is only eight years old, so I'm afraid he won't be able to sit on the throne securely. I ask you to protect brother Ye's life, are you willing?"

Now there are only a few young children left in their royal family, and the queen mother is old, and the queen has no ability to listen to politics behind the curtain, not to mention that he doesn't trust his relatives to interfere in politics.

Compared to the Queen, he felt more at ease with Gu Jinyu!In fact, at this point, the throne is really at your fingertips, just seeing that Gu Chengyu has not made a move until now, it shows that he is really not interested in the throne.

Now in this court, the only one he can trust is Gu Jinyu.

Zhao Guangye also turned his head to Gu Chengyu's direction. Recently, he often met with Gu Chengyu, and in fact, some friendship has been established between the two.Only now did he understand his father's good intentions.

It turned out that the father knew that his life was not long, so he let him have more contact with Gu Chengyu, so that Gu Chengyu could take care of him more.It's a pity that he didn't know about his father's good intentions until now.

"If the eldest prince succeeds in ascending the throne, it is the duty of a courtier to try his best to assist him. During the lifetime of this humble official, he will definitely try his best to protect the life of the eldest prince!"

Gu Chengyu nodded, there is no need to ask, if the eldest prince ascends the throne, if he does not assist the eldest prince, who else can he assist?
As for protecting the First Prince's life, he could only do his best, anyway, as long as he had no regrets in his heart.

"Okay, your words are enough! There are two imperial decrees in the secret compartment, one is the imperial decree to make you the regent king, and the other is that you can't open it for the time being, you go and get it first!"

The emperor immediately felt relieved when he heard the words, Gu Jinyu was a person who kept his promise.Even if there was something in Gu Jinyu's words, he didn't mind.

As long as Brother Ye's life is preserved, even if this country falls into Gu Chengyu's hands, he will have no regrets.As for the other princes, he could only give up.

Gu Chengyu didn't expect that the emperor would make him the regent. It is conceivable that the emperor insisted on tying him with the eldest prince.

The queen mother did not expect the emperor to have such a plan, but after a while, she was relieved.Brother Ye will still rely on Gu Chengyu for support in the future, if Gu Chengyu is not given some rights, how can Gu Chengyu protect Brother Ye?

Following what the emperor said, Gu Chengyu stepped forward and opened the hidden compartment, and there were three imperial decrees lying inside.

"This letter, don't open it unless it is absolutely necessary. Remember, you must open it only when it is absolutely necessary." The emperor looked at this imperial edict. Inside it was a reminder to bury their Zhao family.

"Yes!" Gu Chengyu was not curious about the content of the imperial decree, it was nothing more than the emperor's last resort to save Zhao Guangye's life.

"Queen! You and Brother Ye go out first, I have something to say to Jinyu alone." The emperor said to the queen mother.

The queen mother immediately stood up when she heard the words, and pulled the reluctant Zhao Guangye out of the inner hall.Dun'er forcibly hangs her life with only a silver needle, how dare she delay?

"You promised to do your best to assist Brother Ye, I believe in you, and thank you! However, if the court really gets out of control, it's important to protect Brother Ye's life first, and don't worry about the rest." The emperor was worried and just I can ask again.

"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but it's not that you don't have weaknesses! I only hope that Brother Ye can live and leave incense for me."

"Yes, we must do our best!" Gu Chengyu nodded, and the emperor had almost finished his explanation.As for the affairs of the court, since he was promoted to be regent, there is no need to explain anything to him.

"I ask you, before the father died, did he pass the throne to Zhao Xian?" This matter has been lingering in his mind, without Gu Chengyu's answer, he will not die in peace.

"Yes!" Gu Chengyu didn't hesitate, the emperor would know.Asking him like this is just to make him give up!
