Chapter 293: Fooling Xiao Wuji
In Shouning Palace, the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. More than a dozen imperial doctors knelt on the ground and took turns to feel the pulse of the unconscious emperor.
Liu Yuanzheng had a face full of grief and said to Qin Wang Zhao Defang in a low voice: "Your Highness, prepare for the funeral! The emperor's five internal organs are all failing, and acupuncture and thousand-year-old ginseng are of no use."
Prince of Qin Zhao Defang nodded with a heavy expression, thinking that the emperor would not be able to bear it after just one day after the antidote given by the princess was withdrawn.
Concubine Li could not help crying and angrily scolded these useless imperial doctors. Not only could they not cure the emperor's sudden illness, but they couldn't even find out the cause of the illness. They were really a bunch of useless people!
"The Emperor... has passed away!" When it was Imperial Physician Zhang's turn to take the emperor's pulse, he finally shouted out what his two previous colleagues had not dared to say.
Shouning Palace was suddenly filled with grief. Although the people who knelt on the ground cried bitterly, they were mentally prepared. The truly grieving people had been grieving for more than a month and had already made all kinds of calculations countless times. At this moment, after the emperor really passed away, there were not so many tears and sadness.
All the red lanterns in the palace were taken down and replaced with white ones. After the bells announcing the death rang, the shops in the capital city hurriedly took down the brightly colored lanterns and silk silks and hung up the white lanterns that had been prepared long ago.
Brothels, prostitutes and other entertainment venues are closed, and the whole country is mourning!
The Imperial Clan House, the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory were in charge of the funeral, and their workload was doubled, because the country could not be without a ruler for a day, and they also needed to prepare for the new emperor's coronation ceremony. ...
Sima Qingyun was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He did not look as mysterious, free and elegant as usual. "Lord Luo, you must persuade the prince to change his mind. He must sit on the throne!"
Zhao Wuji's face also turned red, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Uncle, I don't want to be the emperor! Why don't you, an adult, sit on the throne, but push a little kid like me to it? I won't do it!"
"Your Highness the Prince of Qin, please do not act rashly. Whether it is according to Taizu's will, the "Golden Casket Alliance", or in terms of intimidating strength, only you, the prince, are suitable to sit on the supreme dragon throne." Luo Ji also persuaded.
"Your Highness, the situation is now settled. Your ascension to the throne is what the people want. But if it were the young prince, I'm afraid people would be dissatisfied and unrest would arise again!" Kou Zhun also spoke with a Shanxi accent and advised bluntly.
"Li'er doesn't like being the queen, so I won't succeed to the throne and become the emperor."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang said this lightly, and the room immediately fell silent.
"Wow..." Xiao Wuji finally couldn't help crying, "Uncle and aunt, you ganged up on me to bully me. You don't want to be the emperor, but you want me, a little kid, to be the emperor. I also like to be free. I also like to run around and play. I also like to do whatever I want without so many rules. I hate being imprisoned in the palace every day. I hate having to deal with so many memorials and so many state affairs every day. I hate being the emperor, the most miserable laborer in the world!..."
Qin Wang Zhao Defang hurried forward, picked up his beloved nephew who was crying and refusing to take on this hard labor, and coaxed him cunningly and sinisterly, "Wu Ji, didn't you say that you wanted to be the highest official and protect your aunt? Isn't the highest official in the world the emperor?
You don't want to be imprisoned in the deep palace, do you want your imperial aunt to be imprisoned in the deep palace? With her temper, she will be sick and crazy in less than three months. Didn't you say that you would work harder and endure more hardships to protect your imperial aunt's freedom and enjoyment?
The state affairs will be managed by your uncle, the regent, and you don't have to review the memorials. Your uncle will give you a few more years to study and play, and when you grow up, you can rule the country. How about that?
Besides, if the uncle doesn't become the emperor, he can lead the army to war as the regent. You can stay in the capital, and the uncle will help you recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and conquer a vast country. We uncle and nephew work together to create a prosperous dynasty that is more powerful than the Tang Dynasty. How about it? Do you have confidence? ! "
Xiao Wuji, who had been fooled by the King of Qin in his arms, stopped crying and thought silently for a long time. He felt that what the emperor's uncle said made sense.
How could the imperial aunt be imprisoned in the deep palace? To be the most powerful official in the world and protect the imperial aunt was a vow that I and Mu Xiu and the others had made. Isn't the most powerful official in the world the emperor?
Seeing that the young master Zhao Wuji had been fooled by the prince, Sima Qingyun was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and veins popped out on his neck. "Young master, you won't be able to play freely and happily after becoming the emperor. Your good friends will no longer be your friends. They will kowtow to you in fear and speak carefully when they see you..."
After finally fooling Wu Ji, someone showed up to ruin my plans. King Qin Zhao Defang was so angry that he kicked Sima Qingyun away.
"I will do it. I will be the emperor." Zhao Wuji was not frightened by Sima Qingyun. His face was full of determination and courage. "As long as the imperial aunt can be free and happy, I am not afraid of being bound by rules, nor am I afraid of suffering.
However, Sister Yuli and Mu Xiu and the others must come to the palace to play with me, and Xiao Jintai must also go to accompany me after he comes back, so that friends won’t become estranged after not seeing each other for a long time when they grow up.”
"Promise you! Wu Ji, your uncle agrees to all your conditions." Qin Wang Zhao Defang happily threw Wu Ji up, caught him, threw him up, and caught him again...
The King of Qin and the young prince had agreed on the terms, and no one else dared to advise them anymore.
I don’t know what kind of uproar this decision will cause. Can the overall situation remain stable? Will those princes have new ideas? Will the civil and military officials be willing to support it?
Sima Qingyun and Kou Zhun thought about these problems, feeling heavy and depressed. The joy and excitement of following the emperor were all gone. They felt a little lost, a little headache, and under great pressure. They had to think of a way to plan and deal with these problems!
Luo Ji, on the other hand, did not feel lost or depressed. If his daughter did not like being a queen, then the King of Qin should not be the emperor. It would be better for him to live a free life with his daughter. As for what problems might arise, with the King of Qin's intelligence, he should have been prepared to deal with them long ago.
Kou Zhun asked a worrying question, "My Lord, replacing the young prince to succeed the throne will definitely cause a stir. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Qin Wang Zhao Defang held Wu Ji in his arms, stood up, and said in a domineering manner: "With my strength, I will crush all opposition voices and conspiracies!"
Xiao Wuji put one hand around the emperor's uncle's neck and clenched his other hand into a fist and waved it, "We'll defeat them with our strength!"
The little child exudes domineering aura and the power of an emperor is revealed.
Sima Qingyun's heart skipped a beat and his heart sank!
[My Lord, do you know that there can't be two tigers in one mountain? When the little emperor grows up, if he seizes the imperial power and turns against you, the regent, how will you and the princess deal with it? ]
