Chapter 1147 The Regent

Concubine Rou nodded, and then brought her son, crying all the way from the bedroom to the outside of the palace, "What's the matter with the emperor, how is the emperor now?"

Concubine Xian Defei and others looked at this sad and worried affectation, they were all full of ridicule and contempt, they were all thousand-year-old foxes singing about Liaozhai, but they did not expect this situation, the throne was going to fall to this mother and son!
The queen who has cooperated with Concubine Rou for a long time must of course express her concern, "Concubine Rou, quickly take the fifth prince inside to see the emperor, the emperor has been talking about the fifth prince all the time."

Concubine Rou didn't hesitate any longer, she dragged the Fifth Prince into the palace.

When the mother and son came in, they saw that the palace was full of court ministers kneeling, including Murong Sheng, Li Guogong, and King Cheng, who were important officials in the court and relatives of the emperor. Ji Chengxuan, King Zhenbei, was sitting beside the dragon bed, because Emperor Chu was holding his hand.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has brought the Fifth Prince." Ji Chengxuan glanced at Concubine Rou and said.

Emperor Chu's breathing was loud, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was procrastinating, and it took him a while to react to Ji Chengxuan's words, "Little...Little Wu."

"Father!" The fifth prince cried bitterly, and immediately threw himself on his knees and cried loudly.

Concubine Rou was also choked up and wiped her tears, kneeling silently, but after seeing Ji Chengxuan's gaze, she couldn't stop being overjoyed!

The Emperor of Chu gasped for a while before saying, "Regent, read the imperial decree for me...."

When the regent came out, all the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help raising their faces to look at King Zhenbei who was sitting next to the bed.

Concubine Rou was the same, she couldn't help being surprised.

Ji Chengxuan was expressionless, and slowly accepted the imperial decree handed over by Manager Wang, and stood beside the Emperor Chu and read it out, "I am poisonous in my body, and I know that the time is short, but the country cannot live without a king for a day. After I die, the fifth prince will inherit the throne. But I think that the fifth prince is young and weak, so I specially appointed the king of Zhenbei, Ji Chengxuan, as the regent of the current dynasty, to assist Xiao Wu in governing the government, and all the lovers should also assist the new emperor in governing the government. I respect this!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

All the courtiers shouted long live, and some of them looked at Ji Chengxuan who was hesitant to speak, but thinking that all the military power of Tianqing was in the hands of the Regent, he resisted that impulse.

After the dynasty was turbulent and the waves washed away, those loyal and courageous people have long since ceased to exist, or they were persuaded by death or exiled, leaving behind all the spirits who can wink.

On the night when the edict was read, Emperor Chu died.

The fifth prince was weak and couldn't bear the grand ceremony of the late emperor's funeral, so the regent presided over the late emperor's funeral, and everyone in the government and the public obeyed.

In a short period of time, the decree that King Zhenbei was entrusted by the former emperor to become the regent, naturally spread throughout Tianqing, and the orders issued by him personally also spread to all places.

After hearing the news, King Hedong was silent.

Princess Hedong hurried over and said anxiously, "My lord, are you really going to attend the funeral of the late emperor?"

"The first emperor passed away. As the King of Hedong, how can I not go?" The King of Hedong came back to his senses, and without delay, he immediately ordered people to prepare.

"The regent's ambition is not small, the prince must be careful when he goes here!" Princess Hedong was very worried.

"Princess don't worry too much, the regent will not take action against us yet." King Hedong said, at least for now, absolutely not. "Princess also has to get someone to prepare, and she will return to Beijing to attend the new emperor's enthronement ceremony."

After saying this, he led people to rush to the capital immediately.
