Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 521 The era is coming to an end

Emperor Qianwu did not think that Li Changfeng could handle state affairs well.

At least not for a short time.

But Li Changfeng said with a relaxed look: "In fact, handling state affairs is not that difficult. I am confident that I can not only handle it well but also do it easily. When my father recovers, you can continue to rule the country according to my method."

"Oh? In what way?"

Emperor Qianwu didn't believe it, but still asked curiously.

At this moment, Emperor Qianwu felt even more dizzy. He leaned tiredly on the dragon chair and closed his eyes.

"Father, you need to rest! I will report these things in detail when you are in better condition."

Thinking that he would soon meet Feng Quji and others, and that he would have to be very energetic when the time came, Emperor Qianwu nodded tiredly.

"Okay, tomorrow I will make you the crown prince at the great court meeting. At that time, you can propose your way of governing the country on the spot. If there is no problem, I will govern according to your method."

Emperor Qianwu felt that Li Changfeng's journey was too smooth.

Playing politics in governing the country is not an easy task, and it would be a good thing to let him feel a little embarrassed at the court meeting tomorrow, lest Li Changfeng be willful in the future and drag Da Gan into danger.

"Okay, Father, please take a rest first."

Emperor Qianwu didn't speak any more, and a slight snore sounded after a moment.

Li Changfeng walked out of the imperial study and stood at the door, asking not to disturb Emperor Qianwu.

An hour later, Li Jianye arrived first.

Li Changfeng made a silencing gesture towards him and pulled him away from the imperial study room.

"Brother Ninth, are father okay?"

Li Jianye was sweating profusely, obviously he was in a hurry.

At the same time, he also vaguely felt that this meeting with Emperor Qianwu was of extraordinary significance.

"fine."

Li Changfeng gave him a reassuring look, and then said seriously: "Father has decided to make me the crown prince."

After speaking, he stared closely into Li Jianye's eyes.

Li Jianye was not surprised at all, and said calmly: "This is something that has been expected for a long time. Brother Ninth, you deserve it."

"To be honest, I really have no interest in the throne at all. In fact, I have always wanted you to be the prince. Do you believe me?" Li Changfeng said solemnly.

Li Jianye stared at Li Changfeng's eyes for a long time and suddenly laughed.

"Brother Ninth, I understand what you are thinking. Don't worry, I have no interest in the throne either. The fight for the throne has never happened between our brothers before, and it will never happen in the future."

No one knows better than him whether Li Changfeng is sincere to him.

When the artillery battalion was first established, Li Changfeng recommended him to lead it.

Later the Musket Battalion was established and he was leading it.

Later, he was also leading the Air Force.

Daqian's most elite force has always been under his control, although Li Changfeng also has great influence among them.

Let's talk about the several campaigns in the south and the north. He was also in charge of the most important offensive mission. Even when he was campaigning against the Hu tribe in the north, Li Changfeng was the one who pushed him to take command despite all the opposition, although he later failed.

Nowadays, among the many princes, except Li Changfeng, he is the one who is famous all over the world.

Not only did he have a high prestige among the people, he also had an even higher prestige among the military.

This is accumulated through practical military exploits time and time again.

If Li Changfeng didn't really regard him as a brother and regarded him as an enemy competing for the position of prince, how could he create such opportunities for him again and again?

Moreover, he knew that Li Changfeng had repeatedly refused to become the prince.

If Li Changfeng had wanted to, he would have become the prince long ago.

Seeing what he said, Li Changfeng smiled. Li Jianye had very important arrangements for his future: "Jianye, I'm very pleased that you can say that."

Li Jianye punched Li Changfeng in the chest: "So, Ninth Brother, please don't think nonsense. What I'm interested in is the battlefield. I have no interest in government affairs at all!" "Haha, okay!"

Li Changfeng also hammered Li Jianye on the chest.

……

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

Ye Qingcang, Feng Quji and others arrived one after another, and Gao Dali tiptoed into the imperial study to see if Emperor Qianwu was awake.

As if feeling something in his heart, Emperor Qianwu woke up at this time.

He called everyone into the temple.

At this time, he regained his appearance as a heroic figure.

Although his face was still pale and tired, his eyes were sharper and deeper than before.

But Li Changfeng could see that Emperor Qianwu was holding on.

He only pressed his back against the dragon chair to keep his waist straight.

After everyone finished praying, Emperor Qianwu looked around at everyone and then spoke.

"I want to make Li Changfeng the crown prince."

No one was surprised by this statement.

They all already knew that Emperor Qianwu was ill and that the crown prince's position had been unresolved for so many years and should have been decided long ago.

Li Changfeng is the candidate they all recognize.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qianwu said again: "You are the mainstay among the hundreds of Chinese civil and military officials in the current dynasty. The most important all-powerful institutions and military forces are also under your control. From now on, your allegiance will soon be Changfeng."

After saying that, Emperor Qianwu looked at everyone quietly.

Feng Quji understood that Emperor Qianwu was waiting for them to express their stance.

He knelt down to Li Changfeng without any hesitation.

"I will take your Highness as your guide!"

Then came Li Jianye, Ye Qingcang... everyone knelt down and kowtowed to express their support.

Li Changfeng accepted their worship, and then helped Feng Quji get up.

"Old Prime Minister, please get up! All the nobles, please get up!"

Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied with the respectful attitude of everyone, and said in a deep tone: "I will announce this at the meeting tomorrow, maybe..."

Having said this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes suddenly burst into astonishing light.

"Perhaps... it won't be long before the crown prince succeeds to the throne. You are all ministers I rely on. Do you understand what I mean?"

Although Li Changfeng said that his disease could be cured, he himself did not have much hope. He was used to preparing for rainy days, so he had to make preparations early. These people in front of him were extremely important to Li Changfeng's succession to the throne.

As long as these people return to Li Changfeng, the situation in the court will not be chaotic.

Feng Quji and others' expressions suddenly changed after hearing this.

Emperor Qianwu's words already had the meaning of entrusting him.

They all knew that Emperor Qianwu was ill during these days, but they didn't know the specific situation. It seemed to be very serious now, otherwise Emperor Qianwu wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Feng Quji hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Majesty... your dragon body... is really..."

Emperor Qianwu smiled and said calmly: "You are all my most trusted ministers, so it's okay to tell you. I'm afraid my life is not long. Even if I can survive for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to preside over the government."

After receiving the confirmation, everyone felt like a huge stone was weighing on their hearts.

They understood that Emperor Qianwu wanted them to stabilize the government and achieve a smooth transfer of power.

The era of the First Emperor of the Qian Dynasty is coming to an end.

A new era belonging to Li Changfeng is coming.
