The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 359
After the beginning of spring, everything should be revived, and everything should be thriving.

But for the old emperor, it was not the case.

Since being ill in bed last year, Zhao Yongcheng's health has been deteriorating, and now he is lying down most of the time.

If he took two extra steps, or even read a few minutes more, he would feel dizzy, and the most serious one directly led to fainting.

It seems that my time is really approaching... Zhao Yongcheng thought so.

At this moment, he was lying on a soft couch, surrounded by eunuchs and imperial physicians looking down, and a soup was boiling on the small stove in the hall.

The illness came like a mountain, and Zhao Yongcheng last year was able to handle the government affairs calmly, so he would have thought that his body would deteriorate so quickly.

Fortunately for him, he has finally finalized the position of the crown prince, and he is finally free from worries.

"Your Majesty, see you outside the hall!"

Zhao Yongcheng opened his eyes and said, "Let them in!"

Now the emperor's grandson supervises the country, so the matter is left to Zhao Weilong and the cabinet to deal with, while Zhao Yongcheng takes care of his health with peace of mind.

But for some particularly important matters, after Zhao Weilong disposes of them, the cabinet ministers will also report to Zhao Yongcheng individually.

This is not to say that Zhao Yongcheng is unwilling to delegate power, but that he wants to know about Zhao Weilong's administration through the mouths of cabinet ministers.

Although Zhao Weilong would report to him from time to time, Zhao Yongcheng would not just listen to one side.

Soon, the three cabinet ministers came to the abode and paid respects in front of Zhao Yongcheng's bed.

"The minister waits to kowtow to the emperor!"

At this moment, Zhao Yongcheng was already leaning on the soft cushion under the service of the eunuch.

"Free gift!"

"Give a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the three of them were seated, Zhao Yongcheng asked, "How is the situation in Shannan and Shu County?"

These two places are relatively closed, so the zombies should be cleared first. Once they succeed, the court will have two more tax-heavy places.

Second Assistant Xie Xiaofang replied: "Your Majesty, according to the latest report, the spread of monsters in these two counties has been contained by the capital!"

"If you want to clear it up, it seems that you have to work hard. It depends on what the two newest performers will do next!"

Zhao Yongcheng couldn't help asking: "Do you think these people appointed by the grandson...are still useful?"

It was still Xie Xiaofang who replied: "At least it is better than the original ones. As for whether we can do our best in the future, we have to see the aftermath!"

"Old Wang Ge, is the situation in Nanyang County better?"

Wang Tinghe, the first assistant, is from Nanyang County. His hometown and family property are all there, so he is naturally more concerned about the situation in Nanyang County.

"Reporting to the emperor, the situation in Nanyang County is still not optimistic. There are still monsters making trouble in at least half of the land. Now the imperial army can only try their best to maintain the defense line. I don't know how long it will take to clear the whole territory!"

But fortunately, Wang Tinghe's family business is in the safe area of ​​Nanyang County.

"For more than a month, things haven't gotten worse. It seems that Taisun is very good in charge of the family!"

Not only is it good, but in terms of killing and attacking decisively, it is even more powerful than your emperor, several ministers slandered.

It would not be a good thing for the ministers to meet such a new emperor in the future. After all, if the emperor is too strong, the ministers will become weaker, and there must be conflicts among them.

Seeing the different expressions on everyone's face, Zhao Yongcheng continued, "I want to calm down and recuperate,... from now on, you don't have to come here again!"

The emperor's words were a big deal to everyone present, which meant that the emperor had surrendered all his power.

From now on, although the emperor's grandson is still in charge of the country, Zhao Weilong is already the emperor in essence.

The three cabinet ministers all got up, and then bowed and said: "The ministers wait for the order!"

"go Go!"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun turned inside, which was tantamount to seeing off the guests.

In fact, it is important to have this process to announce that the emperor still holds power, not because the emperor really wants to use it to understand the government.

After all, the eunuchs in the palace still obey the emperor's orders, and the news of Zhao Yongcheng is not blocked.

The emperor's grandson supervised the country for more than two months, and achieved great results, which made Zhao Yongcheng very satisfied, so today he simply delegated all powers.

For Zhao Yongcheng, the most urgent task now is to hand over the empire to his successor while he is still alive.

After the three cabinet ministers stepped down, Zhao Yongcheng closed his eyes, his chest heaving and falling.

The interview just now had consumed a lot of Zhao Yongcheng's energy, and he had to slow down for a while.

"Your majesty, the grandson is asking to see you outside the palace!"

Opening his eyes, Zhao Yongcheng said slowly, "Let him in!"

After a while, Zhao Weilong walked into the abbot slowly under the guidance of the eunuch.

"The grandson kowtows to the emperor!"

"Have you met the three cabinet ministers who went out just now?"

"Grandson met!"

"I have asked them to report to you directly in the future!"

What this means, Zhao Weilong is naturally clear.

It has been rare since ancient times for a current emperor to hand over all his powers.

"The grandson is young, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Lying flat on the couch, Zhao Yongcheng interrupted: "Okay, don't say polite words, what's the matter with you!"

After several months of contact, Zhao Weilong has figured out Zhao Yongcheng's temper, and also knows that the old emperor's spirit is not very good, so he doesn't talk too much nonsense at the moment.

"Grandson has a memorial, I don't know how to deal with it, please ask the emperor to teach me!"

"Near!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Weilong spread out the memorial and read it slowly.

The content of the memorandum can be described as impassioned, and it seems that the relocation is for the great Jin, the country, the country, and the country's prosperity and the people's safety.

But before Zhao Weilong finished reading, he heard Zhao Weilong interrupted: "Enough..."

"These people really deserve to be killed!"

Zhao Weilong put away the memorial and stood bowed. He never expected that the emperor's reaction would be so great.

"What do they want to do? In order to save a little food and rice, half of the country is gone? Or do they want to share a share of my Zhao family's country?"

Pointing at the sky, Zhao Yongcheng said angrily: "My family in the Great Jin Dynasty, I just let them take care of it!"

No wonder he reacted so strongly, Zhao Yongcheng has been suppressed by the civil society all his life, but at least he can make use of the situation to check and balance each other.

Now that the northern country has fallen, the balance of power has been broken. After a year of suffering, the gentry in the south finally couldn't help but want to make a move.

"The emperor calms down!"

Seeing Zhao Yongcheng's chest rising and falling, Zhao Weilong was really worried.

After a while, Zhao Yongcheng regained his composure, and only heard him whisper: "Dismiss this person from office and put him in jail, and then investigate his accomplices!"

"Imperial Ancestor, do you really want to involve too much? My grandson is afraid..."

Turning his head, Zhao Yongcheng looked at his grandson, and said with a stern look on his face: "I will personally approve this scripture, so you don't have to worry about it!"

"It is imperative to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, otherwise there will be chaos!"

"Yes, grandson..." Zhao Weilong couldn't say the following words.

But the emperor continued to say: "Zhen...I'm afraid I can only help you this time. The dragon chair is like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. Sitting on it feels cruel!"

"Grandson is taught!"
