Chapter 427 Will
Chapter 427 Will
Kang Qi returned to the palace and sat on the bed. At the head of his bed, there was a wooden box with a pill in it.
He got this from his personal eunuch. It was a tonic.
However, in his current state, if he ate it, he would definitely die, and no one could find out the real cause of death.
Now it seems that it can come in handy.
"Your Majesty, no."
The eunuch on the side was shocked when he saw Emperor Daqian taking out the medicine.
Kang Qi ignored it and ate it directly.
"Xuan Lin Xiaofan, please enter the palace."
Lin Xiaofan didn't have time to sleep last night. He had another day of command today and was about to take a nap when he was woken up.
When he heard that it was Emperor Daqian who announced his entry into the palace, most of his sleepiness disappeared immediately.
Today's Emperor Daqian has changed from his past mediocrity. He is so shrewd that he can't see through it, so he must deal with it carefully.
As for Kang Hong, I have to remind him again and let him act as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Emperor Da Qian makes a will and lets Kang Tianyong inherit the throne, Da Qian will really be over.
Under the leadership of a eunuch, the two walked all the way to Emperor Daqian's palace.
At this time, Emperor Daqian was sitting on a chair, his face was rosy, and he seemed to be in much better condition.
"Meet the Great Emperor."
Guan Rong and Lin Xiaofan saluted.
Emperor Daqian was writing and ignored the two of them.
After writing one copy, he shook his head slightly, threw it into the brazier, and then wrote the second copy.
Over and over again, under the dim light, the scene looked increasingly weird.
Lin Xiaofan felt a little uneasy and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
After about half an hour, Da Qianhuang put pen to paper.
"No courtesy. Lin Xiaofan, Guan Rong, you are now in charge of all the troops and horses in the capital. After my death, you will be responsible for carrying out my will."
"promise."
The two of them hurriedly agreed and took the will. Lin Xiaofan opened it and after reading the information on it, his expression changed.
Emperor Daqian actually voluntarily passed the throne to Kang Hong instead of giving it to Prince Kang Tianyong.
The direction of things was completely beyond his expectation. But in this case, it's quite good.
Emperor Daqian picked up the gold medal on the side and handed it to Guanyong.
If you take a closer look, you will see that the brand is exquisitely made, with the word "Emperor" engraved in the middle.
"With this brand, you can mobilize eight hundred guards of the palace. Guan Rong, if anyone dares to disobey orders, even the queen or the queen mother will be killed without mercy."
Da Qianhuang opened his mouth and felt the blood surge in his body, as if the medicine had taken effect.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper.
"Pass on the royal doctor."
"Go and call the Queen Mother!"
Lin Xiaofan's expression changed and he said quickly.
When the Queen Mother arrived, the imperial doctor was checking his pulse, and Emperor Da Qian was already dying.
"Qi'er."
Seeing that Kang Qi was so ill, the Queen Mother burst into tears.
"Mother, after my death, follow my will."
With trembling hands, Emperor Daqian handed the will to the Queen Mother.
After the Queen Mother read it, her expression also changed and she said hurriedly:
"Qi'er, no. Tianyong was appointed as the crown prince two years ago. According to the rules, Tianyong should also inherit the throne. How can he be replaced!"
Kang Qi's throne was appointed by the late emperor, and therefore, no matter how playful and incompetent Kang Qi was, she let him inherit the throne.
According to the rules, Tianyong will be the successor after Kang Qi's death. How can he change it at will?
"Mother...I have made up my mind."
As the words fell, Kang Qi's hand also slipped.
"Qi'er."
"emperor."
People around him stepped forward to find out the situation of Emperor Daqian, who had already expired.
"What's going on? Qi'er was fine this morning, why did he suddenly become like this?"
The Queen Mother couldn't accept it and asked the doctors around her.
"Queen Mother, this happens most of the time before people die."
The imperial doctors spoke tremblingly, but they felt uncertain.
According to their diagnosis, Emperor Daqian could live for at least one more day. How could he suddenly die suddenly tonight?
Could it be that I ate something I shouldn't have...
"Impossible, come here and check it carefully for me!"
The Queen Mother shook her head and said.
"promise."
One by one, the ministers got up and came forward, and everyone was busy checking. It was not until late at night that the Queen Mother had to accept this reality.
Emperor Daqian indeed died of illness.
Several powerful ministers were all called here, and the Queen Mother and the Prince cried and mourned for Emperor Daqian.
"Queen Mother, in my opinion, now that foreign enemies are still outside the capital, Dongfang should follow the late emperor's will at this time, let the sixth prince succeed to the throne, and stabilize the overall situation."
Lin Xiaofan bowed.
Now that the enemy is facing us, there is no room for any delay.
"What? Lieutenant Lin, shouldn't the throne be mine?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Tianyong immediately stopped crying and stood up to question.
"According to the rules, the crown prince should inherit the throne. Why should it be given to the Sixth Prince? Are you trying to break the rules?"
The Queen Mother also stood up and looked at the Queen Mother.
"No."
The Queen Mother's eyebrows were also furrowed.
The Daqian throne has always been based on inheritance. Since Kang Qi had an heir, he naturally could not give it to Kang Hong.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, the Emperor's last wish before his death was indeed that the Sixth Prince should succeed to the throne. And the Emperor has also personally told you that Kang Hong will succeed the throne."
Lin Xiaofan handed over the Emperor Qian's will with both hands and said.
The queen quickly grabbed it and after reading it, her expression changed drastically.
The emperor really wants to pass the throne to Kang Hong. How is this possible? Could it be that Lin Xiaofan and Kang Hong joined forces to seek power and usurp the throne and changed the imperial edict.
Thinking about it, she looked at the Queen Mother aside, but the latter did not object immediately. Instead, her expression was uncertain.
It seems that the imperial edict is true?
But because of the issue of the throne, Kang Hong had been wandering for ten years. If this allows him to inherit the throne, he doesn't know how to deal with us.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, you must make the decision for our mother and son."
The Queen took the Queen Mother's arm and begged.
"Grandma, you have to make the decision for us."
Kang Tianyong said pitifully.
"Qi'er is seriously ill and talking nonsense. How can he be counted? According to the rules of Daqian, Tianyong should be allowed to inherit the throne."
The Queen Mother rejected it outright.
"Your Majesty, what Lieutenant Lin said makes sense. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy and Tianyong is still young, we should obey the late emperor's will and let the sixth prince inherit the throne."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
Voices sounded. Now the ministers of the Zhang family and the Chen family have already fled, and the remaining people support Lin Xiaofan.
Besides, given the current situation in the capital, if Kang Hong is not allowed to inherit the throne, they will all be finished once the capital falls.
"Guan Rong, I have decided to let Tianyong inherit the throne."
The Queen Mother frowned and then said to Kang Hong:
"Xiao Liu, it's not that I'm partial, it's just that everything must be done according to the rules."
