Chapter 737
Inside the hall.

Eunuch Cheng put a jade pot and two jade cups on a tray behind the screen and brought them out. Zhou Tianzi glanced at the wine pot and sighed softly. Standing up tremblingly from the dragon chair.

Sitting on the ground, still crying, Chen Ling quickly got up from the ground when he saw how hard he was working, and said, "How can I be worthy of your Majesty's personal pouring of wine?"

Zhou Tianzi chuckled, then handed the wine glass in his left hand to Chen Ling, and said, "I owe my brother three lives, so what's the point of pouring him a glass of wine myself?"

Chen Ling wiped the corners of his eyes, then took the wine glass handed over by Emperor Zhou, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Drink together!"

The two met each other with a smile, and at the same time picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Eunuch Cheng who was standing on the side stepped forward with the tray, and Eunuch Cheng withdrew after Tianzi Zhou and Chen Ling put down their wine glasses.

There were only the two of them left in the hall, Chen Ling stepped forward to support Zhou Tianzi and carefully let him sit on the dragon chair, the smile on Zhou Tianzi's face suddenly disappeared, looked at Chen Ling and said: "Brother You drank so happily just now, could it be that you really can't guess that there is something wrong with that wine?"

Chen Ling smiled, then sat down at the feet of Emperor Zhou, wiped away the muddy tears on his face, and said: "Actually, before entering the palace tonight, I have already explained the funeral to my wife."

Zhou Tianzi fell silent at that time.

Chen Ling continued to smile, as if nothing had happened, but asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of poison was on that cup just now?"

"General Order!"

Chen Ling nodded: "So that's the case. I heard that it only takes half an hour to drink this poison and you will die from the poison. It is worthy of such a magnificent name."

"Brother, have you ever blamed me?" Zhou Tianzi sighed.

Chen Ling shook his head slightly, and said: "I didn't blame Your Majesty. Just as I said just now, Your Majesty has never betrayed me. Throughout the ages, how many people can be ranked as Dukes at the age of 30? Your Majesty has been in power for 31 years. I have enjoyed 31 years of splendor and wealth, and the eldest daughter of the minister has become the crown princess, and will also be the empress of my Great Zhou in the future, the glory that His Majesty bestowed on the minister's family is enough."

"I have no other choice, and I don't want to do this either." Zhou Tianzi raised his head at that time and couldn't bear to look at Chen Ling again.

Hearing this, two more tears welled up in the corners of Chen Ling's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I understand that your Majesty is worried that after you go, I will attack Prince Jing. After all, there are only two princes under your knees. His Highness the Crown Prince's affection for his daughter is very clear to the minister, and in the future when the Crown Prince succeeds, if the daughter joins hands with the minister, the situation of His Royal Highness Prince Jing will indeed not be too easy."

"Are you really afraid of my child so much?"

Chen Ling gave a wry smile, and said directly: "If His Royal Highness Prince Jing is as dandy as before, I will naturally not have any thoughts about him, but the current Prince Jing is already able to threaten the status of the prince. Martial arts are simply frightening. If he really has two minds, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be his opponent. At this age, I don't have a long life, but I also have wives, concubines and children. If it wasn't for them, what would I do As for that?"

Zhou Tianzi also couldn't help sighing, in fact, why didn't he understand what Chen Ling said?

Embrace the guilt.

Even though his younger son Wen Ruyan won't have any dissatisfaction with his elder son Wen Ruyu, his abilities are bound to make people worry.

"It is the minister who has failed His Majesty. His Majesty is well aware of how he has treated his ministers over the years. Your Majesty has bestowed upon him the highest honor, but this minister has chosen to attack His Majesty's prince. So, I will not blame Your Majesty. But I beg Your Majesty to forgive my sins before I die."

Zhou Tianzi sighed again.

"Okay, Your Majesty, don't talk about this, I'm about to take a step forward. At this last moment, let's talk about the past. I also miss the days when I fought with Your Majesty on the battlefield. How joyful and unrestrained it is! Your majesty must not think that the weeping just now is just a show, the minister is really reluctant to part with your majesty!"

At this moment, Tianzi Zhou's eyes were a little red. People who have never experienced the friendship in the army can't really understand it. After all, they are brothers who have gone through life and death together. Hearing Chen Ling say this at this moment, what about Tianzi Zhou? Can you not be moved?

Zhou Tianzi gave a wry smile and shouted, "Cheng Yan!"

"The old slave is here." Eunuch Cheng quickly ran out from behind.

"Go, let everyone outside come in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Cheng walked out, Zhou Tianzi looked down at Chen Ling who was full of confusion, couldn't help but kicked him, and said, "Get up, it's outrageous for a 60-year-old to cry! Hurry up!" Get up and tidy up, don't let them come in and watch you laugh!"

"Your Majesty?" Chen Ling was a little confused.

Zhou Tianzi snorted softly, and said: "I really want to give you a glass of poisoned wine, but every time I think of you saving my life on the battlefield, I can't do it, just scare you."

Chen Ling knelt down on the ground and started crying again.

"Don't cry, I'm upset when I cry! Even if I owe you, but you need to remember one thing, until the crisis of the Great Zhou is completely resolved, you must not attack my children, and everything should be the most important thing for the community! This also It can be regarded as my request to you before I die. After the crisis is resolved, you can do whatever you like. Anyway, I have confidence in my own child. Don’t let him kill you when the time comes. I will see you in the ground. Don't blame me for laughing at you!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

After a while.

All the people outside the door came in, and after they knelt down and saluted, they subconsciously turned their attention to Chen Ling, the Duke of Zhen who was next to Emperor Zhou.

In fact, they were all wondering why the old guy cried so badly in the hall just now.

It’s just that Zhou Tianzi wasn’t in the mood to talk about it with them. After chatting with Chen Ling for so long, his chest injury had made him almost unbearable, and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat. He wanted to talk more with everyone, but he did I can't hold it anymore.

I only heard Zhou Tianzi straight to the point and said: "I'm running out of time."

As soon as he said these words, the people below knelt down on the ground again. Some were shocked, some looked terrified, and some looked regretful.

"You don't need to say much, all my loves. I announce you to come here today, just to make a will in front of you."

"After I'm gone, the Crown Prince Wen Ruyu will succeed to the throne. All the ministers should do their best to assist you, and don't let me down."

"Father!"

"His Majesty!"

Wen Ruyu burst into tears immediately, and everyone in the audience also covered their faces and wept.

"Let's go back, I'm tired, it's time to go back."

"His Majesty!"

Everyone wept loudly, Wen Ruyu was speechless, Prime Minister Su Dinghe also knelt on the ground with red eyes, Ye Linxue took a deep breath, then looked up at Wen Ruyan who was kneeling at the front with his back straight, There was also a hint of worry on his face.

Zhou Tianzi waved his hand and said again: "Don't talk too much! Step back."

He didn't mention Wen Ruyan from the beginning to the end, and Wen Ruyan didn't speak from the beginning to the end, as if Zhou Tianzi called him here just to witness.

After crying for a long time, everyone supported each other and stood up from the ground. They lowered their heads, wiped away their tears, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

Zhou Tianzi looked at their backs and suddenly shouted loudly.

"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers are still there, don't cry, everyone slow down!"

 The last sentence is the line of Daming Fenghua Zhu Zhanji. I was deeply touched when I read it, so I wrote it down.
