Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 300 The two-way journey between the chess master and the miracle doctor
The news that the emperor was ill spread throughout Chang'an City, and everyone was excited for a moment.

King Liang stopped halfway, thinking about whether he still had a chance, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided not to think so much. This might be the dirty trick of the scheming monster.

What if the emperor's condition suddenly improves after he returns?
Then the emperor asked him: Why don't you go back?

Why did you come back halfway?
What? You saw me dying, so you came back to seize the throne?
Thinking of this, King Liang, who was sitting in the chariot, was shocked. Could this really be a trap set by his good brother?

His eldest brother seems to be this kind of person, and he is indeed capable of such things.
Thinking like this, King Liang quickly said outside: "Let's go, let's keep going!"

"No need to turn around!"

The chariot continued to move slowly in the direction of Dai Guo. King Liang thought that he had learned enough lessons, so he could not be fooled by the emperor.

But only a few important ministers in the capital knew one thing - the emperor was really seriously ill.

It's not that heavy.

The imperial doctor even had a desire to ask for help, a desire that usually only appeared when the emperor was about to die.

It is a pity that none of the ministers present saw the helplessness in the eyes of the imperial physician. Instead, they stared at the person in front of him with a solemn expression.

The emperor slowly woke up.

But this is not good news, because the emperor's expression looks more like a flashback.

Imperial Physician Ling's face became even paler.

The emperor who woke up from the coma also looked very pale. He looked at the people in front of the bed, his face full of pain and helplessness.

"Yunke, come forward."

Chen Qiu slowly stepped forward after hearing the emperor's call: "Your Majesty, I am here."

The emperor sighed, looked at the people standing in the hall, glanced at Liu Che, and then looked at Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor, who was standing there, and finally said: "I don't know how long my body can last. ”

"Now I can only linger on the sickbed."

His voice was low: "The emperor's eldest son Liu Rong was made the crown prince. He will temporarily supervise the country and handle the government affairs, while the prime minister will assist him."

"Yunke, I leave my empire to you."

"Don't let me down!"

Chen Qiu held the emperor's hand, with a sad look on his face: "I obey the decree."

Chen Tuo, on the other hand, stood behind him without saying a word. No matter who the emperor handed over the power to govern, the Chen family would win in the end, so he didn't need to argue about this.

The only one in the crowd who didn't look too good was Liu Che.

No sooner had he secured some support than support from the Chen family, the emperor fell seriously ill, as if to tell him that he had no chance of surviving.

And the emperor's words continued.

"On the day of my death, I will make Liu Che the King of Jiaodong and return him to the feudal state immediately. Without my edict, he cannot return to the capital!"

"Cough cough - cough cough cough cough -"

Another series of coughs sounded, and the emperor's voice continued: "Jiaodong King Chunxiao, allows him to bring his mother back to the fiefdom!"

"This edict cannot be changed!"

He looked directly at Liu Rong, who was standing there with surprise in his expression: "Prince! Do you remember what I said?"

Liu Rong hurried forward, his expression unchanged: "My son, please remember this."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and then fell into a deep sleep.

After the emperor fell asleep, everyone carefully withdrew. Then many ministers looked at the imperial doctor and said, "How is your majesty's health?"

Because Chen Tuo is a veteran minister and the Emperor's teacher, he has the most seniority and can ask more directly: "How long can the Emperor last?"

The expression on the imperial doctor's face changed, and finally he whispered: "Reporting to the gentlemen, your majesty's body can only last for a month."

"I'm afraid I won't survive this winter."

I can’t survive this winter!
The imperial physician's order almost sentenced the emperor to death, but everyone had different expressions.

A hint of secret joy appeared on Liu Rong's face and then quickly closed up. Chen Qiu and Chen Tuo looked at each other and saw caution in each other's eyes. The death of the emperor is not a small matter.

not to mention.
The eldest son of the emperor, or now the prince, has a grudge against the Chen family! Moreover, the prince does not seem to be tolerant and thoughtful. In a month, Chen will probably be prepared to face accountability from the new emperor.

Liu Che's expression was truly gloomy.

There was a hint of gloom in his eyebrows. If the emperor really died in a month, then all his fantasies would become castles in the air, and he would be further and further away from that supreme position!

Li Ji palace
After learning that her son was named the prince, Li Ji almost burst out laughing. What did those people say?

Said that she was imprisoned in the palace and her son was named King of Yan, so the battle for the right to inherit the throne is out? No chance anymore? So who is sitting on the throne of the prince now?

who is it? !
It’s her Li Ji’s son, her Li Ji’s son Liu Rong!
An even more excited smile appeared on her face, and Li Ji was already thinking about what to do with Liu Che and her son if she took the position of Queen Mother!

Li Ji gritted her teeth and thought of many ways.

At this time, Liu Rong walked in. Looking at his mother's expression, he knew exactly what his mother was thinking. After all, she knew her mother-in-law, Mo Ruozi.
He sighed and said: "Mother, my father just gave an order. If my father dies one day, King Jiaodong will take his mother and return to the fief immediately. Without his edict, no one can call King Jiaodong into the palace."

Li Ji looked confused: "What do you mean?"

Liu Rong explained this more clearly: "It means, mother, you must not touch, nor can you touch Liu Che and her son!"

"This is my father's edict! Even if my son becomes the emperor, there is no way to change it!"

But Li Ji didn't care: "When he dies, how can he stop you from doing anything? You will be the emperor then!"

"Don't use these as excuses to deal with me!"

Liu Rong looked even more helpless. He was just the prince now, and his mother said this.
Li Ji didn't care so much, she just looked at Liu Rong and said: "Now that you have become the prince, you have to supervise the country and handle the government affairs. I have long been tired of seeing the old thieves of the Chen family. Hurry up and get rid of them." Your uncle brought him up to take over that old man’s place!”

She said to herself: "When you were named King Yan, your uncle did a lot of things for you!"

"You must not forget him!"

Liu Rong's expression became even more bitter. Although he had not yet become the emperor at this time, he had already experienced the difficulties of being an emperor - especially the difficulties of his father.
After all, Queen Mother Dou seemed to be so unreasonable.

He understood more clearly why the Chen family would definitely exist no matter what, and even a ruthless man like his father did not burn bridges afterwards.
Because Chen is really useful when dealing with the Queen Mother.

Although the Chen family would not threaten the emperor with swords, they really did it when faced with problems! Especially when it comes to the Queen Mother.
Liu Rong smacked his lips and secretly gave Chen the title of "Queen Mother Killer" in his heart.

However, he still said with a very helpless expression: "Mother, let alone the fact that the child is not the emperor now, what will happen even if the child becomes the emperor in the future?"

"Even people as powerful as my father, Emperor Wen, and Emperor Gao have not been able to control the Chen family. How can a son do it? You'd better forget this idea as soon as possible."

He said hintingly: "Have you forgotten that the Chen family killed Empress Dowager Mi and Empress Dowager Zhao, and brought a sword into the palace to see Empress Lu?" Li Ji looked unconcerned: "Isn't that their son?" Be brave and don’t care about your own mother.”

She looked at Liu Rong: "If you are so unfilial, I will publicize everything about you!"

"You can't imitate them!"

Liu Rong felt even more bitter. His mother was really difficult to deal with.

Facts have proved that no matter which dynasty, women are unreasonable, and unreasonable women are the most difficult to deal with.

Liu Che Hall
Wang Mie still sat there peacefully, looking at the anxious Liu Che and smiling: "Now that Your Majesty is in such a situation, there is nothing we can do to fight for it. If you want to blame me, you must blame your mother for giving birth to you a few years later."

Liu Che has not yet been crowned, and is still a child in his teens.

Even if Chen is here, so what?
Will the emperor delegate all the rights of the auxiliary country to a child and the Chen family? Won't.

Especially today.

This is something that everyone knows very well, so before the emperor's health began to fail, Wang Mie had been making his presence felt in front of the emperor, hoping that the emperor would find a way out for himself and his children.

And this way out is now obviously found.

Wang Mie stroked Liu Che's hair: "Okay, my son, don't be anxious, my mother will accompany you to Jiaodong."

As the years passed, the emperor's health became worse and worse, and the prince was gradually consolidating the power in his hands. Many people had begun to celebrate the prince in advance.

These princelings feel that the prince's position has been firmly established and there is no possibility of being shaken.

Unless the emperor suddenly gets better now.

But getting better can't shake the status of the prince, because the prince is the eldest son after all!

The emperor is already this old. How much better can he get even if he gets better after a serious illness? He can't wait until King Jiaodong comes of age!

Liu Rong thinks so too.

His mother, Li Ji, thought so too.

In the fourteenth year of Jingyuan, it was the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month.

This day was originally the most ordinary day, but it was also the most unusual day.

Because the emperor is critically ill.

During the day, the emperor's health was still good, but at night his condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, and in the end he was even speechless.

The imperial doctor had even used the medicine of tiger and wolf, hanging on his life for the emperor, so that the emperor could finish what he wanted to say at the end.

Because time was too urgent, only Li Ji, who came to serve, was present, and neither the prince nor the left and right prime ministers were present.

The emperor panted and looked at Li Ji beside Shi Feng. His voice was trembling. He stretched out his hand and said, "Li Ji."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight."

"After a hundred years, I have only one wish."

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough"

His voice was extremely weak: "After I die, I will be kind to Wang Ji and the King of Jiaodong and others."

As for the emperor's weak appearance, Li Ji was extremely excited. After listening to the imperial doctor's decision and Liu Qi's words that could be called a request, she immediately burst out with pride, swallowing up all her reason.

She said extremely arrogantly: "Treat them well?"

"Of course the Ai family will treat them well!"

It is disrespectful to call the emperor "Aijia" before he is dead! And what Li Ji said made Liu Qi's heart choke.

Li Ji was even more wanton: "Old dog!"

"After you die, the Ai family will kill the King of Jiaodong! Make that bitch Wang Mie a human pig and hide it in the old man!"

She laughed proudly: "Hahahahahaha!"

Li Ji looked at Liu Qi with a resentful expression: "The Ai family will definitely treat her well and kindly when the time comes! They will never let her die!"

Liu Qi looked at Li Ji in shock, his pupils dilated, and his heart was so blocked that he almost couldn't get up.

At this time, the imperial physician Ling and others who were listening on the side were kneeling on the ground in fear.

This should have been an ordinary day.

This was supposed to be the day when Emperor Xiaojing of the Han Dynasty died.

pity.

Because the Han chess master and the Han miraculous doctor rushed to each other, and because of the Han miraculous doctor's extraordinary medical skills, only a pair of medicine "Old Dog" was used to pull the emperor out of the gate of hell.
What kind of night it was, no one knows.

Because after recording the above-mentioned things, the emperor's condition suddenly broke out, and the tiger and wolf medicine hung his life tightly. When the emperor was not dead, Li Ji's words were nonsense, and no one dared to help. Li Ji regicide.

Therefore, Liu Qi survived this night.

Soon Chen Qiu, Chen Tuo, Liu Che, Liu Rong and others all knew about the fact that the emperor was critically ill but survived, because they rushed over. Originally, they came to welcome the death of Emperor Xiaojing.

But now they are witnesses.

In the spring of the fifteenth year of Jingyuan.

The emperor finally got through this difficult winter, and his body strangely began to slowly recover.

The day after the emperor recovered, the emperor issued an edict.

"The emperor's decree deposed the eldest son of the emperor Liu Rong from the throne of the crown prince and placed him under house arrest in Chang'an. He established the prince Liu Che as the crown prince and entered the East Palace. Chen Qiu and Chen Tuo were selected to assist the government."

"Li Ji, give me death."

Straightforward!

The great Han chess master never procrastinates in his revenge.

East Palace
Liu Che sat in the East Palace, looking blank.

what happened?

Why did he suddenly become the prince?
As for Liu Rong who was imprisoned and Li Ji who was sentenced to death, this was no longer among his considerations.

Because Liu Che was made the crown prince, Wang Mie, who was made the queen, was even more confused.
How did she get to sit on this queen?
I do not know.

She was just fine in the palace and ready to go to the fiefdom. Suddenly, her opponent Kuku stabbed her twice in the waist.
