It was over, Zhao Jie fainted again.
Zixia took her pulse again, but this time the physical examination report was not displayed.She stepped aside silently, so as not to take the blame.
At this time, the ginseng soup that hung his life was finally delivered.The imperial physicians let go and made a last-ditch effort.Zheng Hongfei used golden needles to stimulate Zhao Jie's acupoints, and combined with Shentang to hang his life, finally pulled the emperor back from the death line.
After Zhao Jie woke up, he was able to sit up.Half leaning on the soft couch.
Zhao Chong was not surprised but overjoyed, which meant that the emperor's brother had returned to his former glory and the end was approaching.
Zheng Hongfei didn't shy away from his age.Grabbing Zhao Jie's hand directly, he said, "Your Majesty, how are the state affairs?"
He is an imperial physician, so of course he is not qualified to worry about state affairs.This is to remind Zhao Jie that you are about to die, so hurry up if you have any last words.
On the verge of death, Zhao Jie finally showed a trace of the emperor's demeanor.He knew that now he had to explain what happened behind his back.But it wasn't until this moment that he sadly discovered that there was not a single trustworthy minister of Tuogu in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.Maybe Hong Lishi can be counted as one, but unfortunately he is just an old eunuch.
But Zhao Jie ran out of time, so he directly ordered: "Pass on Cai Jing, Ban Dingguo, Wang Baicheng, and Su Zhao."
Cai Jing is the prime minister, and Ban Dingguo is the official minister.In addition to Huainan Wang Zhao Chong and the commander of the palace Wang Baicheng, they are the four most important ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty.Su Zhao, on the other hand, is a member of Zhongshushe. Although his official position is small, he has a lot of power and is responsible for drafting the imperial edict.He is handsome and elegant, and can speak a thousand words on a horse.
Soon, Cai Jing, Ban Dingguo, Wang Baicheng, and Su Zhao rushed over. Cai Jing ran so hard that her hat was crooked, and she lay down in front of Zhao Jie's couch and cried bitterly.The other three did not.And Zhao Jie's own son, Zhao Jiong, was already terrified by the repressed scene, if he hadn't been held back by the chief executive, Hong Lishi, he would have run away long ago.
"Okay, get up, don't pretend." Zhao Jie's tone was cold, and he didn't understand until before he died.Cai Jing and Zhao Chong are basically in the same group, and the national teacher Feng Yanli is also their minion.
Cai Jing stopped crying immediately, straightened up and stood aside, with no shame on her face.
"Su Zhao, draw up the decree."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Zhao rolled up his robe sleeves and sat cross-legged, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones and some cases ready-made.
Cai Jing was suddenly a little nervous. If the emperor had to fight to the death before he died, it would be troublesome.
He glanced at King Huainan, but saw Zhao Chong's expression was calm.
Zhao Chong knew that the event was settled.The only variable is that Wang Baicheng is a fool.From the moment he came in, Wang Baicheng stood silently behind Zhao Chong without saying a word.
When Zhao Chong looked back at him, the guy had a serious face and acted like a loyal guard of the Huainan Palace.
Zixia really admires Wang Baicheng.Those who know current affairs are heroes. In terms of the thickness of their skins, all of you sitting together are no match for Wang Baicheng.
At this time, Zhao Jie waved to Zhao Jiong and said, "Good boy, come here."
Zhao Jiong hesitated and refused to go over, but Hong Lishi forced him to go over.
Zhao Jie said to Zhao Jiong: "Don't blame Dad. You won't be the emperor anymore, okay?"
"Okay!" Zhao Jiong looked up in doubt, "Father, are you not angry with a child? When you are well, I will give you a can of crickets instead. Let's stop drinking."
Zhao Jie smiled and wanted to say something else, but suddenly coughed violently several times.Veins popped up on his forehead, he quickly looked at Su Zhao, panted and said, "For three generations, the king of Huainan, Zhao Chong, is brave, loyal and trustworthy. After my death, The throne is passed to Zhao Chong, King of Huainan. There is no need to hold a funeral, and it is better to ascend the throne immediately. If there are any unreasonable opinions in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, everyone will punish him."
"Your Majesty!" Ban Dingguo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was a loyal and upright old minister, regardless of King Huainan's presence, blurted out: "The prince is here!"
This sound was simply earth-shattering.
Immediately, several murderous eyes fell on Ban Dingguo in the room.
Even Zixia, who has been making soy sauce, can't help shaking her head, this old class is an idiot.The emperor surrendered with both hands, and wanted to use the country to protect his son's life.This guy's brain was kicked by a donkey, and he jumped out and said "the prince is here".
Sure enough, Zhao Jie looked at Ban Dingguo with extremely resentful eyes.
"Ban Dingguo's anti-government disobedience, he will be imprisoned immediately."
"Brother Huang!" Huainan King Zhao Chong stood up and said, "Ban Tian official is loyal to the country, the pillar of the country, please forgive me, Brother Huang."
Zixia looked at Zhao Chong, and thought to herself, look at him, with this emotional intelligence, it's no wonder the rebellion was successful.
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Jie sighed while coughing, "The emperor's younger brother repays grievances with kindness, and he is a gentleman."
At this time, Su Zhao had already drawn up the imperial edict.Cai Jing checked it correctly.
With the help of Hong Lishi, Zhao Jie stamped the jade seal on the imperial decree.The prime minister looks over it, and the emperor seals it, and the imperial decree will come into effect.
He pressed Zhao Jiong's shoulder with his last strength: "Jiong'er, kneel down for your uncle."
"Oh." Zhao Jiong didn't know why, but fortunately he was stupid and obedient, so he knelt down with a plop, and added two more noises.
Zhao Jie smiled in satisfaction, and said to Zhao Chong: "Imperial Brother, I will leave my son to you."
"Brother Huang, don't worry." When Zhao Chong was really full of ambition, he also thought of sparing his life for his brain-dead nephew.
Zhao Jie let out a long breath, and slowly slipped down on the soft couch.
At this time, Zhao Jie's concubines came over after hearing the news and ran out the door.
There was already a sound of crying in the house, either sincerely or falsely.
The emperor is dead!
The mood of everyone at this moment is really wonderful.Hong Lishi and Zhao Jiong were really sad.Zhao Chong only felt that his blood was running high, and his lifelong long-cherished wish was about to come true.Ban Dingguo and Su Zhao were deeply worried about the future of themselves or the Great Xia Dynasty.
Only Ma Jinnan, the personal winner who became the emperor, was in ecstasy at the moment.Just now I thought I was going to die.Now that the emperor is dead, not only is his life saved, maybe little Ding Ding can also be saved?
But I heard Zhao Chong say: "Everyone, don't forget what the emperor said. Drag Ma Jinnan down and clean him up."
Ma Jinnan became anxious: "Your Majesty, oh no, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Forgive me?" This reminded Zhao Chong, and he added: "After cleansing the body, drag it out and behead it."
Well, now the big head and the small head are gone.
"Gar." Ma Jinnan immediately passed out and was dragged out like a dead dog.
Concubine Niu Gui outside the door saw Ma Jinnan's fate, and immediately understood that her worries had finally been exposed, she knelt on the ground and shook like she was sifting chaff.
At this moment, Cai Jing said: "My lord, please express my condolences. The Emperor Daxing has a decree, please ascend the throne immediately."
Zhao Chong pretended to decline: "My heart is really sad, I wish I could go with the emperor's brother. The emperor's brother has a prince, and if he seizes the nephew's position alone, he might be ridiculed by the world."
Zixia rolled her eyes and complained in her heart, "You should follow along."
Cai Jing continued: "The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day. Please put the country and the country first. All civil and military officials are still waiting in the main hall. Your Majesty, the bones of the Daxing Emperor are still cold. Do you want to resist and disobey the decree?"
"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Zhao Chong said with grief on his face, "For the sake of the country, the country, and the people of Li, I, Zhao Chong, will bear this infamy!"
After that, he took Wang Baicheng and Cai Jing and strode towards the Daqing Hall.
Little did they know that an urgent messenger from eight hundred li was rushing into the imperial city on a flying horse.
