I can't die!I haven't ruled the world yet!

Chapter 139 The late emperor’s decree
It was late March.

The Lingzhou Palace was built to the highest royal standards with reference to the Shengzhou Imperial City in Kyoto. The furnishings are exactly the same and there is no difference between the palace and the palace. The only difference is that in Lingzhou, you can temporarily put aside the worries of government affairs and concentrate on recuperating, without having to suffer from the chaos and hard work.

After Rong Jing stayed in the palace for half a month, his health improved. On the fifth day of April, the beginning of summer, he personally hosted a palace banquet.

But not long after, the palace accidentally leaked water. Due to the timely rescue, Rong Jing was not affected by the smoke and fire. However, the eldest daughter of the emperor, Wen Rui, was seriously injured and accidentally disfigured. She has not been able to leave the palace since then, which made Rong Jing fall ill again.

Later, Rong Jing did not show up for the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May and the presentation of flower seeds to the Goddess of Flowers on the eighth day of May. Rong Cen was solely responsible for everything.

Until the summer solstice on May 23rd, the Dayin royal family's ceremony to worship gods and pray for disaster relief and good harvests ended. King Yi Rongcen, who was ordered to supervise the country, rushed to the palace to attend the emperor's family banquet.

The Lingzhou palace is more than 200 kilometers away from Shengzhou, Kyoto. The bloody horse raced for a day and a night and arrived at Yin time the next day.

On the night of May 24th, Rong Jing was chatting with King Yi Rong Cen about his family affairs, but he was poisoned in her palace, and Long was seriously injured. Later it was found out that the perpetrator was Qiang Yi, the second daughter of the emperor. Rong Jing was in grief and his condition worsened.

Rong Cen knew that his father's condition was serious, but he did not expect that he would pass away suddenly just more than a month later.

Even during the Dragon Boat Festival, he was still in good health, eating rice dumplings and going boating with her, laughing and chatting about world affairs. She never thought that it would be a flashback, and it would be the last meal she and her father had. After that, heaven and man were separated forever.

The emperor was ill, and Rong Cen, as the crown prince, had important responsibilities, so he did not stay in the palace in Lingzhou for long. After the Xiaoshu cool feast on the ninth day of June, King Yi returned to Beijing to supervise the country.

Half a month later, it was the summer banquet on June 25th. Rong Cen received a secret report from Yuan Zhong, the eunuch supervisor serving Rong Jing and his first confidant, who secretly ordered someone to send it to Kyoto.

It was the emperor who urgently summoned him to pass on the throne before his death.

Long-lasting memories can be traced back to this point, which coincides with the scene in the memory fragments exchanged at this moment.

At this time, Rong Cen must have just listened to the ancestral will entrusted to her by her father before his death. If you look carefully, you can tell that her right hand is clenched into a fist, holding a roll of jade silk in her palm. It is the last will that passed down the throne before her death.

Seeing her come out, the surroundings were quiet for a moment. But soon there was an unstoppable sound.

"His Royal Highness King Yi, has your Majesty passed the throne?" Someone shrank his neck and asked weakly. Due to the pressure of the queen at the front, he did not dare to raise his head even half a moment, and his voice was trembling.

Rong Cen did not answer.

"Has your Majesty ever summoned my son to see you? Why hasn't your Majesty summoned my son yet!"

Then there was a woman in the palace who was gorgeous and charming, with an air of nobility that was hard to ignore. Her face was pale and her eyes were staring at the door of the inner palace. She held her hand around the prince who was kneeling beside him and gritted her silver teeth: "Rong Yun. Period, life and death are not trivial matters, don’t delay on purpose!”

There was a slight pause in her words, and she pushed her royal son towards the inner hall, "Your Majesty is definitely waiting to talk to my son! Jin Yu, go! Come in quickly! Your father is waiting for you!" If you can't see him for the last time, he will die with his eyes open..."

This was the most eye-catching voice, coming from the Imperial Concubine Lu, who was the most favored concubine in the harem during the late emperor's time and had been favored continuously for seventeen years. The Queen Mother, who was the Queen Mother at that time, sat quietly with her eyes closed, chanting Buddhist beads in her hands, moving her lips slightly, and reciting words, as if praying for the Buddha's blessing. Although she was the head of the royal family, she was the successor after all. She could not interfere too much in the harem affairs of her stepson who were only a few years apart, so she had no choice but to let him cry.

Soon, the palace door opened and closed again, and Rong Jing's confidant Yuan Zhong slowly walked out.

As soon as Yuan Zhong came out, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps forward and swarm forward. Thanks to the dragon guards who controlled the situation, there was no chaos.

Now that the matter was over, Rong Cen handed the jade silk in his hand to Yuan Zhong.

The latter took it respectfully, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows to salute the Queen Mother who was twisting the beads, and then looked around, taking in all the expressions of the harem empresses and the royal masters. His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his voice was neither loud nor small, "I am here to serve you, my servant." Order to declare the decree."

For a moment, the palace was unprecedentedly quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

This is related to the inheritance of Dayin's throne, but also to the wealth and lives of everyone present and where they will go in the rest of their lives.

Yuan Zhong recited the will word for word. It was originally a life story of the late emperor but only a small part of it. It was similar to an autobiography, mentioning the empress briefly and mentioning the imperial concubine and the prince's children many times. Among them, the most mentioned ones are Rong Cen and Rong Zhu. Later on, Rong Cen has been talked about for a long time——

"Rong Cen, whose courtesy name is Yunqi, has a gentle nature and is loyal and kind. I am my direct descendant, born at dawn, when the east is bright, clouds, dragons and phoenixes appear auspicious, which is auspicious blessing from heaven. I am very happy. I am granting a general amnesty to the whole world and a reward from the whole country.

When he was young, Cen was fond of learning, diligent and ambitious, and had extremely high attainments. Many state teachers praised him, and they all called him "the unparalleled son of the state". On my tenth birthday, I was very drunk at the state banquet, so I drafted a secret decree to appoint the crown prince.

Cen Xiao, listen to what I say, but if you have any disagreement, you must point it out. If I don't allow it, Cen will stop. I agreed, and Cen Nai stopped, and he saluted and apologized repeatedly. The etiquette was extremely complete. Cen is gentle and abides by his duties.

Cen followed me to the royal palace for hunting, and happened to encounter bandits running amok, so he rescued the orphaned girl. One year, Xia Ruixue became a disaster victim and had no means of living. The refugees from Nanxun fled north and it was difficult to manage for a long time. Cen asked himself to go south to rescue the people. My son was smart and good at skills. He controlled his subordinates well and managed well. He returned to Beijing with a great victory.

Later, when the Nanxun envoy visited Yin, the envoy wanted to marry Cen. I liked it very much and was unwilling to sacrifice my son's happiness for the sake of my family and country. Therefore, I have been granted the title of Crown Prince, and I hope that these people will take the next step and give up their intention of marrying Nanxun. My son, Cen, is the king of Yi. I am seriously ill and have ordered him to supervise the country.

Cen is as gentle as jade, but he is born with royal aura, good at governing the country, and is not afraid of power. He quietly uproots the old aristocratic forces and handles things calmly and in an orderly manner.

However, the palace was accidentally flooded, and the eldest daughter Wen Rui was disfigured. My heart was very painful, and I couldn't afford to fall ill again, so I lingered on the bed. I was poisoned in my son's palace and seriously injured due to labor. I ordered the Dragon Guard to investigate and found out that all of them were killed by my brothers and feet!

I am filled with rage, knowing that my days are numbered, so I shall stay away from you now. I will say the last words before my death, and pass them on to my son Yi Wangcen. As the regent of He'an, he specially appointed ministers such as Wen Kui, Duke of Zhenguo, Meng Ding, Assistant to the State, Xianxiang Wenrenmo, Emperor's Master Yu Heng, Minister of Household Affairs Baili Sang, and Minister of Industry Chen Jiancang to assist the new emperor. Don't have two minds.

I only hope that my son will work hard to build a prosperous and prosperous world in Dayin! 』

"King Yi... how is that possible?! Yuan Zhong, open your eyes and see clearly whether it is Yi or Xi!"

Mrs. Lu couldn't believe it. She really didn't believe that His Majesty's final decision would be like this. She seemed to be crazy, and her soft voice suddenly became sharp, "Yuan Zhong, what benefits did Rong Yunqi promise you? You are not willing to risk your life." Da Bunai conspired with him to falsely pass on the imperial edict!"
