My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 122 120. Instead, the death of the emperor!

Zhao Xuanqi rode a horse and entered Chang'an City alone.

There were no imaginary axemen or imaginary archers. He entered the city almost unimpeded and without any accidents.

On his way to the palace, after Bai Ren learned the news, he even took the initiative to find him and stay with him.

Bai Ren is not restricted, which is good news.

Zhao Xuanqi asked Bai Jian: Emperor Qinglong and the information about Chang'an City in recent days.

Bai Ren replied that nothing happened in Chang'an City, and there were no big movements, just as always.

As for what's inside the palace, Bai Ren doesn't know much about it.

Although he is the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he is very powerful in information intelligence, and he is also very good at detecting intelligence, but the palace is different from other places, and it is not something he can reach into at all.

If he could really reach into the palace and explore specific information such as the palace, he would probably be killed long ago.

However, Bai Ren gave a piece of news that Emperor Qinglong was indeed seriously ill. Emperor Xiaoyao had visited famous doctors all over the world, but all of them were helpless. His Majesty seemed to have a terminal illness for which there was no cure.

This made Zhao Xuanqi fall into silence.

Looking at it now, the news that Emperor Qinglong was seriously ill was true, and there seemed to be no other plots or tricks, nor did he seem to be targeting himself.

However, this is just a guess. Only Emperor Qinglong himself knows the true intention of Emperor Qinglong.

In case he is about to die, for the sake of the country and the country, and in order to pave the way for future generations, it is not necessarily possible to solve the big trouble of Zhao Xuanqi.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, it has been this way since ancient times.

Moreover, Emperor Qinglong may not have suffered from a terminal illness. Maybe the news released was false?

How could such a young person, such a strong person, become seriously ill for no reason?

Zhao Xuanqi could not believe that things happened by such a coincidence.

He was still a little uneasy after all.

Bai Ren seemed to notice Zhao Xuanqi's uneasiness and asked, "Jun Wu An, do you want me to accompany you into the palace?"

Obviously, he was also afraid that Emperor Qinglong would be unfavorable to Zhao Xuanqi, and he also guessed that this critical node might contain huge dangers and changes.

Zhao Xuanqi refused: "One more for you is not too much, and one for you less is not a lot. I will do this kind of thing myself, and you don't have to bear it."

Bai Ren wanted to say something else, but Zhao Xuanqi didn't want to listen to him anymore and drove him away.

Not long after, Zhao Xuanqi came to the palace.

Entering the palace alone.

The atmosphere in the palace at this moment seemed a bit dull, with a strange depressive atmosphere.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace all had gloomy expressions, as if something bad was about to happen.

The entire palace contains depression and dullness.

This made Zhao Xuanqi's heart sink.

But it's too late to think about anything at this time. Since you have decided to come in alone, since you have decided to bear all this fate by yourself, let it be.

He suppressed other thoughts in his heart and slowly walked towards Qiming Palace.

Outside the Qiming Hall, Xiao Huangmen saw Zhao Xuanqi arriving and saluted respectfully without stopping him.

"Jun Wu An, your majesty and the imperial concubine have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Xuanqi nodded, walked up the stairs, and finally walked slowly into Qiming Hall.

It can be said that he almost walked into Qiming Hall with a certain death mood.

Because judging from Zhao Xuanqi's current achievements, he has achieved great success and shakes the emperor, has overwhelming power, and is the leader in military and political affairs. This is a huge change.

In any dynasty or period, it would be difficult for a person like Zhao Xuanqi to be tolerated by the emperor and have a good death.

On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly.

Zhao Xuanqi is a very unstable factor, and solving Zhao Xuanqi is the best way to stabilize the country.

Just because Zhao Xuanqi has the ability to rebel, even if the protagonist does not rebel, it is wrong to have this ability!
Now that Zhao Xuanqi returns alone, an accident is likely to happen.

Zhao Xuanqi even imagined that he would be hacked to death as soon as he entered the palace, and he might even die without knowing how.

However, the reality was beyond his imagination.

He entered the Qiming Hall smoothly without encountering any surprises, no swordsmen hiding in the dark, and no so-called soldiers ambushing him.

In the Qiming Palace, there were only a few palace maids and eunuchs serving beside Emperor Xiaoyao.

Aunt Xiaoyao was kneeling on the edge of the bed. Her eyes were red and the dark circles were very thick. She looked like she had been crying for a long time. She looked very haggard as she had not slept well recently.

There was a figure lying on the bed.

A withered and haggard figure.

It was Emperor Qinglong.

At this moment, Emperor Qinglong's appearance has changed. He is clearly in his early 20s and in his prime, but he looks haggard.

His body was thin and dry, as if he had not eaten or eaten for a long time.

His face was pale, extremely pale, and there was no trace of blood at all. Even his lips were horribly pale, chapped and pale.

It seemed that the person lying on the bed was not a young man, but an old man who was about to be buried.

A sick person is like a rotten tree.

The moment Zhao Xuanqi saw Emperor Qinglong, his heart was shocked. He was completely surprised and fell into great shock.

Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill!

It’s not just as simple as being seriously ill!
Judging from this appearance, he barely has a few days left to survive!
It can even be said that it is a miracle that Emperor Qinglong is still alive now. He is supported by one breath and does not die.

Otherwise, he would have been dead for a long time with his physical condition.

A breath of air kept him from closing his eyes.

Seeing Emperor Qinglong's appearance, all doubts and bad thoughts disappeared. Emperor Qinglong did not lie to himself at all, he was really sick!

The young emperor who was originally in his prime has become haggard!

"This... what's going on here?"

Zhao Xuanqi immediately stepped forward and walked in front of the bed. Facing Emperor Qinglong's appearance, he still couldn't believe it.

"He was so healthy and bouncing around when I left. Why did he suddenly become so ill?"

Aunt Xiaoyao's eyes were red. She stood up. Her anxiety and sadness could not be concealed, and she tried her best to answer: "I don't know. The weather became cold during that time, and Your Majesty suddenly caught a cold. He kept saying that it was cold, and he was getting sicker. The heavier it gets, the more you end up not being able to eat."

“One day I suddenly became paralyzed in bed, unconscious and unable to even take care of myself…”

As she spoke, Queen Xiaoyao's tears continued to fall.

It can be seen that this kind of thing is a big deal for a woman like her, and she has no control over it.

stroke?

Or what kind of disease?

Zhao Xuanqi's mind was in confusion.

Good news, there are no swordsmen, no ambush.

Bad news, Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill, and is really going to die.

For a moment, Zhao Xuanqi didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

It’s actually more of a discomfort.

As Emperor Qinglong's teacher, he had tried his best to educate Emperor Qinglong and cultivate Emperor Qinglong over the years. He finally brought him up and looked like the Lord of ZTE.

Now, the leader of ZTE is suddenly about to die of illness.

At such a young age, he would have died of a stroke.

For a moment, Zhao Xuanqi felt a strong sense of malice. Fate plays tricks on people, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot defeat fate.

Sometimes, some people seem to be healthy, but maybe meeting them this time means goodbye forever. From now on, we will be separated forever, and accidents will always be waiting for you at the next moment.

Although I dare not imagine it, although I don’t want to admit it, it is indeed a fact.

In addition, Zhao Xuanqi still felt a little ashamed.

I always thought that Emperor Qinglong was plotting something against me.

Looking at it now, the news that Emperor Qinglong was seriously ill was true from beginning to end. This young emperor had indeed reached the end of his life and had never thought of harming himself.

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Qinglong heard the sound and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw that Zhao Xuanqi had returned, a smile appeared on his pale face.

Then he used all his strength to wave his hand and signaled the eunuch next to him to call the minister of civil and military affairs and the important officials of the court.

Not long after, in addition to Zhao Xuanqi in the room, some important court officials also came here. Even Emperor Qinglong's only youngest son was brought here by the palace maid.

Emperor Qinglong did not have a queen. He was only in his early 20s and did not have a wife. However, he had a concubine, a son, and three daughters.

They are all relatively young, and the youngest son is only five years old.

Everyone gathered around the bed, saying nothing, silently waiting for Emperor Qinglong to speak.

With this look, how could Zhao Xuanqi not understand what he was trying to do?

It was obviously to explain the funeral arrangements.

Tuo Gu!

Zhao Xuanqi fell into silence completely.

His face turned blue and white.

Originally thinking that a disaster was imminent, Emperor Qinglong was hiding an ambush and was uneasy. Zhao Xuanqi even questioned whether the news of his serious illness was false.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Tuogu.

Unexpectedly, this young emperor would actually reach the scene of Tuogu!
The accident was too great!
This contrast made Zhao Xuanqi confused.

After all, I use my villain's heart to judge the gentleman's heart.

The emperor believed in himself more than he thought.

The emperor valued himself more than he thought.

Instead, he looked at the emperor with doubts and cold eyes.

This emperor is kinder than imagined.

Aunt Xiaoyao sat far away and would not disturb Zhao Xuanqi and the emperor. The civil and military ministers also stayed away from each other, allowing Zhao Xuanqi and Emperor Qinglong to talk alone.

Emperor Qinglong felt the arrival of the people around him, and then he opened his eyes again, looked at Zhao Xuanqi, opened his trembling lips and said slowly: "Grand Master, you are finally back."

His voice was hoarse and dry, shaky and unpleasant.

There was no trace of vitality, as if it could be cut off at any time.

Zhao Xuanqi sat on the edge of the bed, close to Emperor Qinglong's body, held Emperor Qinglong's hand, and replied: "Yes, I'm back..."

Emperor Qinglong tried his best to speak, and said in a hoarse voice: "The twelve gold medals are not my intention, but the emperor's aunt made her own decision. I hope the grand master will not misunderstand."

"Ahem, fortunately, the teacher won a great victory and conquered the enemy country. But I can't go out of the city to welcome him. Please forgive me for being rude."

"I originally agreed to the teacher's wedding, ahem...I'm afraid I can only shirk it and not be able to marry the teacher's daughter. What a pity."

Emperor Qinglong did not call himself "I", but used "I" to describe himself, which seemed more appropriate and close.

Zhao Xuanqi kept shaking his head.

To be honest, the twelve gold medals did cause misunderstandings for Zhao Xuanqi, and even caused misunderstandings among his generals and soldiers, who almost asked him to go to Beijing in yellow robes.Fortunately, nothing like this happened after all.

Emperor Qinglong never thought about doing harm to himself.

Zhao Xuanqi said: "Everything is about your health. After your majesty has had a good rest, it will not be too late to hold a celebration banquet for me. It will not be too late for your majesty to marry my daughter. I hope your majesty has a good rest."

Emperor Qinglong showed a smile and shook his head gently: "I know my body, teacher, I can't do it anymore."

He just used this simple sentence to explain the result of his death.

This made Zhao Xuanqi even more silent.

He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes showed memories, as if he had thought of many things. He said with emotion: "Thank you, teacher, do you still remember when Grandpa Huang died and I just succeeded to the throne?"

"At that time, it was you who personally helped me ascend to the throne, protected me from wind and rain, suppressed all civil and military officials, and suppressed rebellious officials and traitors for me."

"On the day I ascended the throne, I was too young, and my young master was suspicious. Those ministers actually wanted to change the emperor. Or you were still in the main hall, using Shang Fang's sword to personally kill one person and suppress everyone. It was so majestic."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to become this emperor."

When Zhao Xuanqi heard this, he replied without hesitation: "This is just my duty. I am entrusted by the late emperor and it is my duty to protect your majesty."

However, Emperor Qinglong kept shaking his head. Instead, he held Zhao Xuanqi's hand with both hands and said with great gratitude: "Ahem, the Grand Master is an important minister of the country. Without you, there would be no emperor and no Kingdom of Northern Wei."

"More than ten years ago, you suppressed the rebel army, defeated the coalition of princes, cleaned up the corrupt officials in the country, and suppressed the north and the south..."

"It turned out that the Northern Wei Dynasty had been unable to support itself more than ten years ago and was about to collapse. It was you who supported this huge country with one person's power."

"Not only that, you also made the Northern Wei Kingdom prosperous again in a short period of time."

"We also conquered the enemy country. Without you, I am afraid that the Northern Wei Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago. How much more to conquer the enemy country and achieve the unification of the north and the south?"

"Without you, there would be no Northern Wei."

"Without you, the so-called emperor would be a joke."

Zhao Xuanqi was silent.

This evaluation is too lofty.

It is incredible to say it from the mouth of this emperor.

The emperors of ancient feudal times would never have such an evaluation of a minister, nor would they have such understanding, let alone say this evaluation in front of other important civil and military ministers.

Without yourself, there is no empire.

Without himself, there would be no emperor.

This kind of evaluation is the ultimate for a courtier.

Just this sentence, once recorded in the history books, will increase the weight of history's evaluation of Zhao Xuanqi ten thousand times.

He did not expect that he would be so tall in the eyes of Emperor Qinglong, and he did not expect that he would be so valued by Emperor Qinglong.

Fortunately, I had previously suspected that Emperor Qinglong was going to be harmful to me. It seemed that I had underestimated my position in Emperor Qinglong's heart.

The previous suspicion made Zhao Xuanqi a little uneasy at this moment.

It's like when you meet a man on the street and you think he is going to do something evil to you, and you think you are going to be doomed today, but it turns out that this man is a billionaire. Not only did he not hurt you, but he transferred all his assets to you without hesitation. To protect you.

Zhao Xuanqi said: "Your Majesty, you must have a good rest. Only when you recover your health can the country be restored to greater prosperity. The country cannot be without the emperor, and it cannot be without you."

"I'm afraid I'm going to die. I'm going to let down the teacher's trust. I feel so uncomfortable and I'm so cold."

Emperor Qinglong kept trembling.

He stated that he could not hold on to the end.

Zhao Xuanqi held his hands tightly and kept blowing heat into his hands, giving him warmth. However, his hands were always horribly cold.

It was as cold as a piece of ice, and it couldn't get warm even if I held it in my hand.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes became darker and darker.

His life force was flowing out like crazy.

The reason why he has not died these days is to insist on seeing Zhao Xuanqi return.

Now that Zhao Xuanqi has returned successfully and Emperor Qinglong's anger has been leaked, it is already a miracle that he can say so many words. Now it has reached the last moment.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes were distracted, but he still tried hard to say: "Before I leave, I want to give the teacher an important task..."

"Please take good care of my son, and I will leave everything to you."

Sure enough, it was Tuogu again.

Zhao Xuanqi lowered his head, he didn't want to accept it anymore.

Your grandfather, Emperor Jingming, entrusted you to me, and now you want to entrust your son to me. What's going on?

What's going on with you emperors, why do you always hand over your sons and descendants to me?
You are really not afraid of me plotting rebellion!

You are really not afraid that I will rebel!
The emperor should be cold-blooded, how could he trust someone so much!

In these historical years, there are many chapters describing the ruthlessness of emperors. Why are you and your father so tender?

These few good emperors happened to be met by me!

Zhao Xuanqi is like a stick in the throat, and Emperor Qinglong has been with him for many years. He has trained him since he was a child, taught him how to read, and taught him how to govern the country. He spent a lot of effort until he really had to face his death.

Zhao Xuanqi himself was a little afraid to accept it.

His eyes turned red.

His voice was also trembling.

Even my nose is sour.

Zhao Xuanqi had long regarded Emperor Qinglong as his own son and disciple, but when it came time to face his death, Zhao Xuanqi was not as calm as he had imagined.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes were blurred, and he tried hard to explain the next thing: "Teacher, do you still remember when you climbed the snowy mountain?"

Zhao Xuanqi didn't know what Emperor Qinglong was going to say, so he could only reply quickly: "At that time, the princes and kings rebelled, and the court had too few troops. I ordered Zhao Wuwei to face the enemy directly, while I bypassed the Snowy Mountains, went around behind the enemy, and faced the enemy. Attack from both sides and win in the end.”

Emperor Qinglong coughed a few words, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Indeed, I still remember when you came to say goodbye to us, and you said you wanted to climb the Snowy Mountains."

"It was extremely dangerous. I had a narrow escape from death. I didn't want the teacher to go. I wanted the teacher to stay in the capital. However, the teacher said something to me. I still remember that sentence very clearly."

"Teacher, do you know what it means?"

Zhao Xuanqi didn't have time to answer.

Emperor Qinglong took the initiative to answer: "If you sacrifice me alone, you can get the world's happiness and well-being. If you sacrifice my small family, you can get the peace and stability of everyone in the world, what's the point?"

After hearing this, Zhao Xuanqi also remembered that he had said this sentence before. Emperor Qinglong was only less than ten years old at the time. He did not expect that he could remember this sentence so clearly, which made Zhao Xuanqi a little confused about how to evaluate it.

Emperor Qinglong said this sentence with a sincere look in his eyes. He obviously remembered this sentence deeply and continued to explain:

"My son is only five years old and cannot handle national affairs. I know that leaving my son to a teacher is too selfish."

"So, teacher, if my son is too stupid to become a talented person and is really unable to shoulder the great task of governing the country, teacher, please replace him..."

"There is only one royal family. If the rotten wood cannot be carved and the royal family cannot be reused, it might not be a bad thing to hand over the position of emperor to you in exchange for the stability of the world!"

"Sacrifice the emperor of my small family, let a great talent like my teacher become the emperor, and achieve the happiness of all the people in the world. This is a great thing. There is nothing worth saying!"

Emperor Qinglong deeply remembered Zhao Xuanqi's words back then, and actually applied those words to himself at this moment. He used the remaining strength in his hands to hold Zhao Xuanqi's hands tightly, and made sure that Zhao Xuanqi agreed.

Zhao Xuanqi turned his head and no longer dared to look at Emperor Qinglong.

I'm a little afraid to face this.

He kept shaking his head and said, "How could I do such a rebellious thing?"

He couldn't stand the trust of Emperor Qinglong.

I originally thought that Emperor Qinglong was going to be detrimental to me, but I didn't expect that it was actually a matter of entrusting him, and he even asked me to replace him.

He couldn't accept this kind of thing.

The last glimmer of light showed in Emperor Qinglong's eyes, and he spoke the last words with a smile: "Although I am young, I know how to be grateful. Your kindness is higher than the sky and thicker than the earth. If my son can't do it, you can." Replace it!"

This sentence seemed to drain away all his energy.

When these words were spoken, Emperor Qinglong felt no worries at all, with a smile and satisfaction on his face.

For a moment, the smile froze on his face and his hand slowly fell.

he died!
He died like this!

It's so simple to die!

Zhao Xuanqi came back to his senses and looked at the pale and motionless emperor. He held Emperor Qinglong's cold hand tightly and felt the lifeless body with a stunned expression on his face.

He couldn't believe it was true.

Emperor Qinglong is obviously so young.

Moreover, Emperor Qinglong was the master of ZTE that he had trained since he was a child. He was always in good health and active.

Why did he die like this?
Watching Emperor Qinglong die in front of his eyes, watching the emperor who had worked hard to cultivate him for decades fall.

The relationship between master and disciple is a friendship that has no blood but is deeper than blood...

Zhao Xuanqi hugged Emperor Qinglong's body, his whole body trembling continuously.

Even Zhao Xuanqi hoped that all this was a conspiracy and that Emperor Qinglong was not so wise. He was pretending to be seriously ill now and would stand up and kill himself later.

The swordsman next to him will come out and kill him.

It would be great if all of this was really a conspiracy, how great if it was all a plot.

Then this disciple who he has cultivated for many years will not have to die.

Then the emperor who was raised as his own son would not die.

However, the fact is that Emperor Qinglong is really dead.

He died on the hospital bed at such a young age, without having time to display his ambitions or talents, and he died in this ordinary and ordinary day.

He was obviously the master of ZTE, he was comparable to Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, and he was so young, but he actually died, and died young due to fate.

"You were so young and so healthy, why did you die of a stroke like this? Although I know that medical care in ancient society was poor and death and accidents were inevitable, it is still difficult to accept that it really happened in front of you."

Zhao Xuanqi hugged Emperor Qinglong's body and looked at the tear mole in the corner of Emperor Qinglong's eye. He stretched out his hand and touched the tear mole.

So many images come to mind.

I still remember the first time I met Emperor Qinglong. It was a snowy day. Princess Xiaoyao brought the little boy to meet her for the first time.

The little emperor is small and exquisite, fair and petite, and looks like a little girl. His eyes are big and bright, and his tear mole is very beautiful, like an elf in the snow.

Zhao Xuanqi believed that if he were a little girl, he would definitely captivate the country. He was very interested in the tear mole on the side of the little boy's eye, and even reached out to touch the tear mole on the corner of the little boy's eye.

At that time, Princess Xiaoyao was still beside her and said with a smile: "He hates others touching his tear mole the most. Aren't you afraid of him biting you?"

The little emperor quickly hid aside and replied in a milky voice: "I don't bite!"

Indeed, he hates people touching his mole.

But why didn't he stand up and avoid it when I touched his mole?
Why must he lie here motionless?

Don't you hate this kind of thing the most?Then you should get up and bite me!

Unfortunately, everything is a luxury.

The young emperor remained motionless, his face pale and lifeless.

He eventually died on the hospital bed, and all his ambitions and ideals came to nothing.

This newly unified empire lost a wise king who had not yet had time to show his talents.
