Chapter 1104 Announcement
Father Yunxia walked in the front, Master Guan followed, and Father Lian came to the rear, the three of them filed in and came to the emperor's bedroom.

The earth dragon was burning inside the house, which was very warm, but the faint smell of blood in the air made the atmosphere of the whole hall suddenly tense.

After showing the ceremony to the emperor, the emperor ordered the three of them to sit down on the stool brought by them.For so many years, it was the first time for the three of them to be treated so courteously by the emperor, and they felt quite flattered.

Then look at the emperor's sickness, with a haggard face, listless and weak, leaning on the head of the bed, like crops that have been beaten by frost, withered and unbearable.

The dislike of the three of them towards the emperor decreased a bit, after all, he is now a dying patient, so let's be more tolerant.

After taking his seat, the emperor first asked about the situation of the rebel army, and learned that all the rebel army had been incorporated. Shen Qiufeng's grandson took the initiative to hand over the military amulet and was willing to serve Dongyuan.A trace of flush appeared on the emperor's sallow face, and he said a few good words repeatedly.

Although he stopped halfway and coughed a few times, it didn't affect his good mood at all.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Father Yunxia and Father Julian took the opportunity to intercede for Shen Weibai, and said that Shen Qiufeng had died of a sudden illness, so they asked the emperor to pardon Shen Weibai and the Shen family's crimes, and let Shen Weibai take the blame and perform meritorious service.

The emperor readily agreed. Although Shen Qiufeng is hateful, his two grandsons are actually his sons-in-law, especially Peixiu, who is very fond of Shen Weibai, the son-in-law, so he didn't want to punish the Shen brothers. Reining in the precipice, and willing to atone for his crimes, he became a favor.

But the death penalty can be avoided, and the punishment cannot be escaped.

Father Yunxia and the others have no objection to the punishment mentioned by the emperor, it is good to teach the Shen family a lesson, and they can also warn those who have different ideas, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

After the matter was settled, the emperor sincerely thanked the three of them for turning the tide, saving the crisis in Dongyuan, and making great contributions to the people of Dongyuan to continue to live and work in peace and contentment.

He also lamented: As the Son of Heaven, how fortunate it is to have three virtuous ministers like Aiqing.I announce that from now on, the three lovers will be promoted to one level, and then they will be rewarded generously.

After finishing speaking, the emperor specially asked the eunuch to write it down so that the promise could be fulfilled in time.

After giving the order, he coughed violently for a while, vomited blood as usual, his face became ugly, and all the blood was gone.

But the coughing stopped, and after the emperor relieved for a while, he praised them again.

Yunxia's father and the three of them exchanged glances quietly, it seemed that the emperor was much clearer before he died.But the emperor's constant praise still made them unable to adapt, when the three of them waited for the emperor to pause, they all expressed their views, saying that they had only done their due duty and could not deserve such praise from the emperor.

"You deserve it, you deserve it!" The emperor said anxiously: "I have done something wrong to my three lovers before, I hope the three lovers will forget about it for the sake of me being a dying person.

I have important matters to entrust to the three love ministers, please don't refuse. "

The emperor's expression suddenly became serious.

Yunxia's father and the others also sat up straight, solemnly expressing their views that if it's their own responsibility, they will do their best to complete it.

Cough, cough, cough, the emperor coughed violently several times, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then rolled the handkerchief into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand.Immediately afterwards, a gratified smile appeared on his face: "I knew that the three lovers would definitely think about Dongyuan Sheji and the common people, and I thank the three lovers in advance.

The second thing I want to announce is that I will be the son of the first emperor after a hundred years, and the three love ministers from now on will be the assistant ministers of the new emperor. "

The emperor suddenly said such a sentence, which shocked Father Yunxia and the others. What does the emperor mean by this?Does he know the existence of Weihang?But Weihang's life experience is only known to a few people, and the secrecy has been kept very well, so he shouldn't know.

But after being surprised for a short time, Father Yunxia returned to normal.

He knew that when the emperor came to say this suddenly, they must not get confused, and they must not reveal Wei Hang's secret when the situation is unknown, they must calm down and deal with it calmly.

"My lord, may I ask where is the late emperor's son you mentioned?" Father Yunxia thought for a while, and took the lead in asking this question.

Ju Lian's father and Guan Ze looked astonished, Guan Ze was still able to maintain his sitting posture, but Ju Lian's father had already leaned forward and was about to fall.

The news was to them like a sudden thunderclap on a sunny day.

The emperor didn't answer, because he started coughing again, this time so badly that he didn't have time to take care of them.

The three of them finally had time to digest the shocking news thrown out by the emperor. Although they could not discuss it, they hinted through eye contact that everyone's suspenseful hearts slowly sank and became more stable.

Seeing that the second elder brother and younger brother Guan were very calm, Ju Lian's father teased himself in his heart that he couldn't get on the stage, so he adjusted his sitting posture again, sat upright, and waited for the emperor's next explanation.

After tossing for a while, the emperor calmed down.

His sallow face was reddened by coughing, and he continued to have a fever at this moment, and his tone of voice was obviously guilty. He spoke slowly, but his eyes were rare and frank: "I will talk about the question Li Aiqing asked. I want to confess something to you first.

To tell the truth to the three lovers, I have done several things wrong.I regret it now, so I want to correct my mistakes before I die.

It is not accurate to say that it is corrected, because my actions have already caused irreparable harm to the emperor's wife... that can only be called making up, to some extent make up for my debt to the emperor's wife and nephew. "

Father Yunxia and the three of them didn't speak, the room was very quiet, even a needle drop could be heard.

Although they were eager to know who and where the emperor's son was, but the emperor obviously wanted to speak slowly, so they had no choice but to suppress their anxiety and wait for the emperor to speak.

Even afraid that speaking at this time would interrupt the emperor, or change the emperor's willingness to confide, the three of them all maintained their clay sculpture-like state.

The emperor paused and continued: "I grew up under the protection of the emperor's brother. The emperor loves me very much and cares for me everywhere. In fact, he is a rare good brother. I also respect and respect the emperor's brother. Beloved.

It's just that when I first saw the emperor's sister-in-law who was still in her boudoir, I fell in love with her at first sight, and fell in love at first sight.But the emperor's sister-in-law's favorite is the emperor's brother. They are concubines and concubines, and they are in love with each other. In the end, the lovers get married and live a happy life of deep love and harmony.

At that time, I should have taken back my thoughts on the emperor's wife in time, but I didn't, this is one of the mistakes I made. "

Speaking out what had been hidden in his heart for so many years, it was as if a thorn stuck in his throat had finally been removed, and the emperor felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

In addition, the secret that had been kept in the dust for a long time was revealed, and the emperor's scruples were completely released, and his speech became smoother than before.

"The second wrong thing I did was to make a slip of the tongue after drinking, and let the king of Xirong know my thoughts on the emperor's wife. The king of Xirong used this as a threat to force me to withdraw the order to attack Xirong, and failed to avenge the emperor's brother, which led to I often cannot sleep at night, suffer in my heart, and regret for life."

Having said this, the emperor closed his eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of his eyes.

Although Yunxia's father and the others had guessed the reason why the emperor was unwilling to avenge the late emperor, they never guessed that it was this reason.

He bit his lip, stood up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I still have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

"Ai Qing just ask." The emperor opened his eyes and nodded in agreement.

Father Yunxia asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, that is whether the emperor was involved in the murder of the late emperor.

Of course, he asked more skillfully, when did the emperor know that the late emperor was killed by the Xirong people?How did you know?
It was rare for the emperor to hear the truth of his words shrewdly, and he was not angry, but patiently explained: "I didn't kill the emperor, and I wouldn't do such a disobedient thing as murdering my brother. "
