I'm really not King Jing of Zhongshan

Chapter 181 Old dog! ! !

On the other side of the hunting ground, there is a palace that has been abandoned for many years.

Even before night fell, the palace was already illuminated by oil lamps like daylight.

Palace servants, maidservants and even guards all anxiously entered and exited from the gate of the palace;
Pots of hot water were sent into the hall, and pots of bloody water were sent outside the hall by the palace guards and guards.

On the imperial couch, Emperor Qi's face was pale and his eyes were slightly closed;
The body under the quilt has already been wrapped in three layers of blood-oozing silk cloth.

On the edge of the imperial couch, several old imperial doctors frowned, and lowered their heads sternly, regardless of their robes and the blood stains on their faces;

Staring intently at the front, Emperor Qi, who was lying flat on the imperial couch, exchanged opinions softly with colleagues beside him from time to time.

In front of the imperial couch, there were only two figures kneeling;

——Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, and Liu Rong's mother: Li Ji.

Walking into the palace, he knelt down in front of the imperial couch where Emperor Qi lived, Liu Rong cried out of breath in the blink of an eye, his face was already dripping with tears, but he didn't dare to make any sound;
Li Ji knelt on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at the sick and pale face of Emperor Qi on the imperial couch.

"Ugh······"

"Your Majesty, you have lost too much blood..."

"—with some nourishing decoction?"

"No, no..."

"Your Majesty is already plagued by old illnesses, which cannot be remedied..."

"--Ugh······"

"—How can this be good..."

In the silence, the slight conversation of several old imperial doctors resounded, causing Li Ji to regain her composure;

A moment later, there was another faint murmur on the imperial couch.

"Uh······"

"--His Majesty?"

"--His Majesty!!!"

Tianzi Qi murmured softly, and the imperial physicians beside the imperial couch hurried forward!

Even Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor who was kneeling in front of the imperial couch, hurriedly stopped crying, walked forward on his knees, and came to the side of the imperial couch.

"Father!"

Choking with sobs and exhaling "Father", Liu Rong stood up on his knees in panic;

And on the imperial couch, Tianzi Qi finally slowly opened his eyes...
"Oh, I made a big joke..."

"Big joke..."

"—Don't be too busy..."

"My body...myself..."

"Myself... my heart, my heart..."

A few more weak whispers made Liu Rong's eyes burst into tears again, but he did not forget to cover his mouth and nose tightly with his hands, for fear that his crying would be heard by Emperor Qi on the imperial couch.

And at the edge of the imperial couch, several old imperial doctors heard Tianzi Qi's words, and each stood up straight;
They looked at each other sadly for a while, and after exchanging opinions, the imperial doctor finally ordered him to come forward and give Tianzi Qi an injection on the side of his forehead.

After a while, Tianzi Qi's weak breath became obviously stronger.

Seeing Tian Ziqi's condition improved, the imperial physician Ling got up with a sad face, and bowed to Liu Rong, who was kneeling beside the imperial couch, and Li Ji, who was not far away;
After Liu Rong stopped crying again, and Li Ji came back to her senses, the imperial physician ordered to report softly: "Your Majesty fell from the horse's back while galloping, and the injury is too serious;"

"Although the old man stopped the bleeding for His Majesty, His Majesty has already lost too much blood."

"In addition to the internal injuries, a lot of blood has accumulated in His Majesty's abdomen..."

Halfway through speaking, the old doctor lowered his head sadly, and let out a long sigh.

After a long time, he raised his head again and bowed his hands to Liu Rong and Li Ji again.

"The old man has already performed acupuncture, temporarily sealing His Majesty's lifeline."

"But at most, I can only fight for one or two hours for His Majesty;"

"When the time comes, the lifeblood will be unblocked again, and the blood stasis in His Majesty's stomach will completely cause internal injuries."

"Until then, Your Majesty..."

Hearing the old doctor's words, the palace servants and sergeants who were still busy entering and leaving the palace stopped involuntarily;

After a while, he lowered his head in a daze;

After that, they all fell to their knees...

"lady;"

"Son."

At this moment, General Zhidu, who was always guarding the imperial couch and staring at the imperial physicians, withdrew his cold gaze from the imperial physicians;
He stepped forward with a gloomy expression, and bowed slightly to Liu Rong, Li Ji and his mother.

"Before he lost blood and fainted, His Majesty told me to find the son and wife;"

"Now, Your Majesty has..."

"—Madam and son please come forward;"

"Treasure this last time, and listen to His Majesty's final explanation to the son and wife..."

Following Zhidu's deep and faintly trembling voice, the palace servants and soldiers who had knelt in the palace before couldn't help sobbing.

And those old doctors also shook their heads and sighed and walked away from the imperial couch, walked to a corner beside them melancholy, folded their hands in front of their abdomen, and then slowly lowered their heads...

"Rong;"

"My son Rong..."

On the imperial couch, Tianzi Qi's faint call sounded, telling everyone in the hall to stop crying quickly, and then cover their mouths and noses with their hands;

Hearing Tian Ziqi's call, Liu Rong hastily knelt forward and took two steps forward, but he couldn't cry again.

"Father..."

"—I, I made a big joke~"

"--Hey······"

Seeing that Emperor Qi shook his head laboriously, he forced a self-deprecating smile;

He sighed softly again, and then smiled wryly: "Back then, King Huai of Liang died because he fell from his horse's back;"

"Later, father also wanted to gallop down from the mountain, but was stopped by Yuan An."

"I didn't expect that in the end, I, like King Huai of Liang, would die because of falling from a horse..."

"—I, I made a big joke..."

"Big joke..."

Tianzi Qi's low, mournful, bitter and self-deprecating voice only made everyone in the hall weep again;

Liu Rong, who was kneeling beside the imperial couch, even held Tian Ziqi's hand with both hands, but his head was buried in the soft silk mattress as if there was no support from his neck;
Just kneeling on the edge of the couch, lying on the couch, holding Tianzi Qi's hand, sobbing bursts of tears.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Rong raised his head sadly when he felt that his hand was being shaken slightly;
However, at this time, Tianzi Qi turned his head to the side, looking at himself with a wry smile.

"Father..."

"Father~"

A cry of grief caused Tian Ziqi to raise his hand with a chuckle, and gently caressed Liu Rong's face.

"do not Cry······"

"The person who will be crowned soon;"

"Crying again will make people laugh..."

The weak whisper caused Liu Rong to nod his head hastily, biting his lips tightly.

It's just that the tears in the eyes, like the river water breaking the embankment, kept slipping down from Liu Rong's handsome face;

It dripped on the back of Tianzi Qi's weak hand, and in the blink of an eye, most of the back of Tianzi Qi's hand was covered...

"What I said today, every word, must be kept firmly in my heart;"

"Never, never forget..."

Another whisper made Liu Rong nod his head again with tears in his eyes, and then he saw the emperor turned his head, looked at the ceiling of the palace, and let out a long sigh...

"I am not a good emperor;"

"Compared to the first emperor, I have no face to say that I am the emperor of the Han family..."

"After I die, all funeral matters must be kept simple."

"My Yangling Mausoleum cannot bury any piece of gold, jade or pearls;"

"All the funerary objects should be made of pottery, wood and the like..."

···
"I have appointed Zhonglang General Zhidu as a lieutenant to command Chang'an's army."

"After I die, Zhi will issue an order to the Northern Army: Martial law in Chang'an."

"You don't need to worry about me, you must return to Chang'an immediately, and with the support of the Queen Mother, go to the high temple of Emperor Taizu Gao to worship the ancestor and sue the temple;"

"Then succeed to the emperor's throne in Weiyang Palace and accept the worship of all officials..."

···
"Zhou Yafu, you are still leading the army outside;"

"After you succeed to the throne, please immediately ask the queen mother to send a decree to order Zhou Yafu to return to the court."

"After Zhou Yafu returned to the court, the first time he stepped into Weiyang Palace, he must release Zhou Yafu's military power."

"Wait until the position is stabilized, then worship Zhou Yafu as the prime minister, and stabilize the hearts of the people inside and outside the court..."

"—Zhou Yafu, is a capable general;"

"In the future, if there are priorities, Zhou Yafu can be the general..."

···
In the quiet hall, only the sound of Tianzi Qi's position being explained, and Liu Rong's sobbing from time to time could not be suppressed.

After explaining everything he could think of to Liu Rong, Emperor Qi, who was lying flat on the couch, finally turned his head again.

He raised his hand vigorously, stroked Liu Rong's cheek again, moved his thumb with difficulty, and wiped away the tears on Liu Rong's face;
"Over the years, you have suffered a lot;"

"I've had a lot of scary days."

"do not blame me······"

"Being an emperor, you must treat the people of the world well."

"Don't let me be in the ground, I can't explain to the late emperor..."

The voice was full of gentleness, kindness, and even a little bit of shame, which made Liu Rong, who was already crying so hard, couldn't breathe even more;

Looking at Tian Ziqi's gaze, most of it was covered by tears, but it still didn't prevent Tianzi Qi from seeing the sadness in that gaze.

In his heart, Tianzi Qi nodded slowly.

But on the surface, Tian Ziqi exhausted all his strength to lift his head up half an inch;
"Zhidu~"

"My goshawk..."

After struggling to let out a low cry, Zhi all hurried forward and knelt down beside Liu Rong;
But he didn't forget to stand up his upper body so that Tian Ziqi could see his face clearly.

Turning his head to the side, he saw Zhi Du's equally sad, but at the same time still revealing a resolute face, on Tian Zi Qi's face, there was only a touch of peace of mind visible to the naked eye.

"Zhidu..."

"Zhidu..."

Throwing the head that had been lifted so hard back onto the pillow, it seemed that most of the strength was exhausted by the movement of raising the head just now;

Then Tianzi Qi took a long breath and adjusted for a long time before finally smoothing out his shortness of breath.

Then, he turned his head again.

"My son, Rong;"

"I will leave it to you..."

"My goshawk has never let me down;"

"This last entrustment, don't let me down..."

"You must support my son Rong and sit on the imperial couch in Weiyang Palace;"

"Be sure to keep an eye on the officials and princes, kowtow and kneel in the Weiyang Palace, and be loyal to the new king;"

"——If after I die, the queen mother prevents Rong from ascending the throne, or even wants to call Liang Wang into the court..."

When it came to the end, Tianzi Qi's bloodless and pale face was suddenly sullen for a while!
With all my strength, I clenched my teeth!
Raise your head half an inch again, and let the muscles in your neck tremble violently!
Clutching Zhidu's sleeve tightly, he stared straight into Zhidu's eyes!

"Put the queen mother under house arrest in Changle Palace!"

"—When necessary, send the queen mother to me too!"

"Let the queen mother accompany me to meet the emperor father!!!"

Tianzi Qi suddenly put on a stern tone, which only made everyone in the hall bow their heads hurriedly!
The shoulders that were heaving up and down from time to time because of sobbing just now, can't help trembling at this moment because of the horrified killing intent coming to his face...

Even Li Ji, who had been kneeling three steps in front of the imperial couch, wandering far away, was so frightened by the vicious tone of the emperor that she shrank her neck suddenly.

The entire palace room was covered by the coldness in the tone of the emperor Qi;

Everyone in the hall is like an ice cave at this moment;
Only Zhidu nodded solemnly.

"My lord, I would like to obey His Majesty's edict..."

"Even if it is cut to pieces and the clan is implicated, I will definitely let the young master sit on the throne safely..."

"—No matter what, the queen mother, and anyone else, will not prevent the son from inheriting the throne..."

After solemnly responding, the palace examination fell into a long period of silence.

In the end, it was still Tian Ziqi's long exhalation sound, reminding everyone in the hall: Breathing does not break the law...
Lying back on the couch, he let out a long breath, and the already pale face of the emperor only became a little weaker.

It was as if just now, those few words to Zhidu and those few simple actions had already made Tianzi Qi use up his last bit of strength.

Slowly closing his eyes, the sound of even breathing resounded on the imperial couch, and finally, the sound of crying one after another resounded in the palace room.

"Father..."

"Father?"

Pulling his mind out of the fear of falling into the abyss just a moment ago, Liu Rong tentatively let out two whispers;

But on the imperial couch, Tianzi Qi took a deep breath, and then raised his head tiredly, but his tired eyelids refused to open again.

"Call your mother..."

"I, I have something to tell her..."

The almost inaudible words made Liu Rong stunned for a long time;

Thinking back again and again, he couldn't understand what Tianzi Qi said, so Liu Rong had to stand up carefully from the ground, then leaned down, and put his ear in front of Tianzi Qi's mouth.

"Take your mother..."

"Call..."

Finally hearing Tian Ziqi's words, Liu Rong hurriedly turned around;
Seeing that his mother, Li Ji, still had a dull expression on her face, she had no choice but to go forward, lift her up from the ground, and walk to the edge of the couch where Emperor Qi was.

"Father Emperor;"

"Mother is here..."

Cautiously complained, but it only made Tianzi Qi take a deep breath;

After lying on the couch for a while, he opened his eyes again.

Turning his head slightly, looking at Li Ji standing beside the imperial couch, Tianzi Qi was stunned for ten breaths before finally grinning.

"It's really Li Ji..."

"Everyone else is kneeling..."

"Only Li Ji... loves to stand..."

The weak voice made Li Ji lower her head in a daze, allowing Liu Rong to push herself down and sit down on the edge of the imperial couch.

Then Tianzi Qi turned his head away with a wry smile, and closed his eyes again.

Although he turned his face to the inside of the couch, he still did not forget to say something softly.

"Back then, I was still the crown prince, and the empress dowager drafted for me."

"There are more than 400 women, all of whom are submissive to me and ask for anything;"

"Only Li Ji doesn't even want to kneel..."

"—In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed;"

"I'm getting old..."

"Li Ji, I'm getting old too..."

"Rong, you've grown up too..."

"I haven't been a prince yet, I'm going to be the emperor of my Han family..."

The melancholy but increasingly weak tone also caused Li Ji to look away strangely;

But seeing Tianzi Qi, he finally turned his face away from the couch, and once again faced Li Ji's direction.

"I am going to die..."

"Yes, I'm going to see Emperor Taizu Gao...I'm going to see Emperor Taizong Xiaowen..."

"After I die, Rong will be the emperor of my Han family..."

"Li Ji, she is the queen mother of my Han family..."

The melancholy voice still failed to make Li Ji, who turned her head away before, look at her;

Tianzi Qi raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhidu, supported by Zhidu, and sat up slightly from the couch.

Sitting weakly on the couch, even being held on the back of his head carefully by Zhi, Tianzi Qi looked at Li Ji again and smiled.

"Rong, I haven't reached the crown yet;"

"The queen mother has always wanted to establish the king of Liang."

"After I die, the only thing Rong can count on is Li Ji, who is the queen mother..."

"I'm not worried that Li Ji will help my son secure the throne;"

"But I am worried that my other sons, and their respective mothers, Li Ji, cannot tolerate..."

"—Li Ji, can you accommodate them?"

"——Being the queen mother, Li Ji, can you accommodate my other sons and their respective mothers?"

"Being the queen mother of the world, let my other sons feel at ease to be princes and kings in Guandong;"

"Let their respective mothers be queen mothers without hindrance;"

"Don't worry, will Li Ji make them all human pigs like the Empress Dowager Lu did back then..."

The sincere and distressed voice of inquiry finally made the palace people who had only dared to sob in low voices gradually let out more and more clear weeping voices;

Only a moment later, the entire sky above the palace was filled with this burst of mournful crying.

Everyone feels sad for the dying emperor Qi;
Even Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, wailed and lowered his head, but gently shook Li Ji's sleeves with his hands, urging Li Ji to quickly agree to Emperor Qi's last plea.

But in the end, Li Ji disappointed Tianzi Qi and everyone else;
Or it should be said: Li Ji, the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor Liu Rong, has never let the emperor Qi, and anyone in the world 'disappointed'...

"You old dog;"

"Finally dying?"

"You old dog, will you beg me one day?"

"—You old dog!!"

"—Is there a day too?!!!!"
