The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 454
On May 25, the 25th year of Tai'an, in the Imperial Palace of the capital, in the Hall of Qian'an.

Looking at the man wearing the crown of golden silk wings, Zhao Yongcheng bowed his head and said: "Father, the state affairs are in decline, and the country is unstable... My son is guilty!"

The man on the dragon chair just smiled slightly, showing pity and regret.

"The son is incompetent, the superior cannot integrate the court, and the subordinate cannot raise Li Shu, the son... is guilty!"

Zhao Yongcheng pleaded guilty twice, at this moment the man on the dragon chair finally moved.

After he got up, he walked towards Zhao Yongcheng slowly.

"Father?"

The man walked up to Zhao Yongcheng, reached out and took off the belt on his head, then slowly took off the golden silk winged crown on his head, and put it on Zhao Yongcheng's head.

"Father?"

Zhao Yongcheng stretched out his hand to grab it, and suddenly his eyes were dark.

The smell of herbs floated in the hall, and it was hard to tell whether it smelled good or bad.

On the dragon bed, Zhao Yongcheng opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Chen Changhe stood guard beside the dragon couch.

Zhao Yongcheng asked, "What time is it?"

"Back to the emperor, it's two o'clock in the afternoon (six o'clock in the afternoon), is the emperor going to deliver dinner?" Chen Changhe replied.

"Help me up!"

"Is... this?" Chen Changhe thought he heard it wrong.

"Help me up!" Zhao Yongcheng's voice became louder.

The emperor was sick in bed, and his spirit was getting worse and worse. He hadn't got up for nearly half a month.

But the emperor was the emperor after all, what he said was the imperial decree, Chen Changhe dared not disobey it in the slightest.

"Yes!"

Immediately after Chen Changhe beckoned, several young eunuchs ran over and carefully helped the emperor up from the dragon bed.

Standing on the ground, although Zhao Yongcheng's legs were a little weak, he could barely stand.

Chen Changhe carefully reminded from the side: "The emperor... it's time to take the medicine!"

Zhao Yongcheng ignored it, but said calmly; "Come out for a walk with me!"

"Yes!"

So, with the support of several young eunuchs, Zhao Yongcheng stepped out of the hall.

At this moment, the sun was setting and the afterglow of the setting sun was cast on the palace wall, Zhao Yongcheng's shadow was also stretched out.

"It's been a long time since I went out for a walk..."

After saying this, Zhao Yongcheng walked down the steps.

"emperor……"

"If you don't want to go, just stay here by yourself!"

After the emperor had finished speaking to this point, Chen Changhe didn't dare to say any more.

Ever since, a group of more than a dozen people accompanied the emperor and walked outside Qian'an Palace.

The outside of Qian'an Palace belonged to the outer court. It was already night, and except for a few officials on duty, the other central officials had gone home.

So when Zhao Yongcheng walked out of the gate of Qian'an Palace, except for the busy eunuchs and maids and guards on duty, he didn't see anyone else.

Zhao Yongcheng didn't stop, but continued to walk out, with a few eunuchs supporting him, it was not a big problem.

But Long Nian has been following behind, as long as Zhao Yongcheng needs to switch at any time.

Seeing that the emperor's breath was disordered, Chen Changhe couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, let's take a chariot!"

Zhao Yongcheng didn't answer, he thought he could do it.

Exiting Qian'an Gate is Chongzheng Hall, going out is Chongzheng Gate, and then going out is Huangji Hall.

Qian'an Palace, Chongzheng Hall and Huangji Hall are symbols of imperial power, and each one is more majestic than the other.

The whole walking process was not fast, and Zhao Yanxun inspected it carefully, as if reuniting with an old friend.

At this moment, Zhao Yongcheng came outside the Huangji Hall.

Huangji Hall is the highest-standard palace in the palace. It has a wide view here, and you can see the rivers and mountains outside the palace.

Standing inside the fence carved with white marble, Zhao Yongcheng glanced into the distance.

As the sun set and the setting sun was like blood, Zhao Yongcheng couldn't help feeling: "Such a country...doesn't it make people nostalgic!"

These words, he was speaking to himself, and he was also talking to God in the dark.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yongcheng did not get a response.

After a while, Zhao Yongcheng turned around, just in time to see the resplendent dragon chair on the imperial steps of Huangji Hall.

So he took a step and walked slowly towards the main hall.

The Huangji Hall has not been used for a long time, but there are still special people cleaning it every day, so the inside is still very clean.

Entering the hall, the only feeling is emptiness.

Walking into the threshold of the main hall, looking at the dragon chair in front of him, Zhao Yongcheng motioned for the eunuch Zhou to sit down.

"emperor……"

"Back off!" Zhao Yongcheng was decisive.

There was no other way, Chen Changhe could only signal the little eunuchs to withdraw, but they were all within two steps and could be supported at any time.

Taking steps, Zhao Yongcheng walked towards the dragon chair step by step.

At first, he walked heavily, but after taking two more steps, he became more stable. Holding on to the handrails on both sides of the imperial steps, he walked directly to the dragon chair.

The process of walking up the imperial steps frightened Chen Changhe and others, but fortunately Zhao Yongcheng had already walked up.

"Your Majesty... Is this servant helping you to sit down?"

"You step back!"

Zhao Yongcheng felt that he could do it, but he took two steps forward, and the dragon chair was one meter in front of him.

Zhao Yongcheng turned around slowly, took a step back, and now he can sit on the dragon chair.

But now, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, so he didn't sit down in a hurry, but let himself slowly.

But in the eyes of others, the emperor is feeling everything here.

But after a few seconds, Zhao Yongcheng felt dizzy.

So he stretched out his hand and greeted, "Changhe..."

Chen Changhe hooked his waist and replied: "The servant is here!"

However, before he heard the emperor's order, he saw Zhao Yongcheng fell straight forward.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Changhe was horrified.

There were only two of them on the rare guest's imperial steps, and the other eunuchs were not qualified to come up, so Chen Changhe had no time to help them.

Just hearing a "bang", Zhao Yongcheng fell to the floor.

"emperor……"

Before the dragon chair, Zhao Yongcheng's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he could only vaguely hear the eunuch's exclamation, and finally lost consciousness directly.

…………

Inside the East Palace, Zhao Weilong put on his court robe and hurriedly walked outside the palace.

But before he took two steps, he saw Huang Zhicheng waiting outside, the latter is now the servant of the household department.

At this moment, Zhao Weilong was flustered, seeing Huang Zhicheng seemed to have seen the backbone.

So he stepped forward quickly, grabbed Huang Zhicheng and said, "Sir, the emperor's ancestor is critically ill, I'm afraid it's... I'm afraid it's..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Huang Zhicheng yelled twice, finally calming down Zhao Weilong.

The emperor was critically ill, and the handover of the highest power was a matter that put a lot of pressure on the successor.

"Your Highness, you can't mess up at this time, absolutely don't!" Huang Zhicheng warned seriously.

"Yes... yes..." Zhao Weilong nodded repeatedly.

Huang Zhicheng went on to say: "For a while, all the cabinet ministers, Shangshu Jiuqing will be here, we must not let them despise!"

"Yes... yes!" Zhao Weilong nodded.

After all, he is only a 16-year-old boy, and it has been less than half a year since he became the grandson of the emperor, so it is normal to be flustered right now.

Only Huang Zhicheng said: "Let's go, Your Highness, the emperor is still waiting in Qian'an Palace!"

Zhao Weilong nodded, then stood up straight.

After trying hard to calm down, Zhao Weilong walked out with steady steps.
