Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Emperor Tianqi raised his hand with difficulty, and tremblingly caressed Zhu Youjian, tears flickered in his eyes.

His gaze was fixed on Zhu Youjian for a long time, and then Emperor Tianqi slowly turned his gaze to look at the civil and military officials kneeling in the hall. He did not speak for a long time, but there was a hint of nostalgia in the eyebrows of Emperor Tianqi.

"Back off, I will talk to the emperor!"

After a long time, he slowly said a word.

After the words fell, all the ministers listened to the order and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace one after another. After a while, there was no one else in the Qianqing Palace except Tianqi and Zhu Youjian.

"Brother Huang! Don't scare me..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn and moving towards an irreversible situation, Zhu Youjian became more and more panicked, and his crying voice became more and more obvious.

"Zhen... Brother, don't cry, calm down, calm down..."

"Listen... I can't do it anymore, I feel that I shouldn't survive this calamity!"

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. If I leave, the burden of Daming will have to be borne by you, brother..."

"Da Ming can't take it anymore, Emperor Brother..."

Ignoring Zhu Youjian's reaction, Emperor Tianqi seemed very urgent, and even had a trace of fear.

Word by word, intermittently.

But every word that fell on Zhu Youjian's ears was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

He never thought that such a day would come.

"Brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped again by the coughing Tianqi.

"The Ming Dynasty can't stand the burden anymore. Only you, the emperor, can bear this burden!"

Emperor Tianqi's eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely unwilling.

Since ascension to the throne, she has worked hard and scheming, and she has suffered a lot of infamy!

He has only grasped a few points of power, and before he has time to display his ambitions, it is about to end hastily!

He is not reconciled, he is even more worried!

But he...has nothing to do!

"Wei Zhongxian is just an eunuch, you can continue to use him again, but you must hold the rope well..."

"Don't trust anyone, learn to look at people..."

"Your bosom friend is a man who knows how to fight, and he is worthy of use, but you have to remember, to give both grace and power..."

Emperor Tianqi kept rambling, he was very urgent, he could clearly feel the passing of vitality in his body, and even, as if in the next second, he would completely lose consciousness.

For a long time, Emperor Tianqi's consciousness was a little blurred, and he said something here and there, intermittently, and even the words did not match the words.

Zhu Youjian didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of interrupting Emperor Tianqi's Chunchun entrustment.

He knew that this might be the last time he was taught by the emperor in his life.

When civil and military officials knelt down in front of Emperor Tianqi's bed again, even those who had no medical knowledge could clearly see the death breath permeating Emperor Tianqi's body. !

"I... time is running out... after me, King Xin will take the throne..."

Emperor Tianqi's voice was extremely weak, intermittent and indistinct, but when he said that King Xin had ascended the throne, his voice suddenly became a little louder.

These simple words struck the hearts of all civil and military officials present like a bolt from the blue.

In an instant, the hall was silent, only Emperor Tianqi was still talking intermittently.

Tian Qi was clearly delirious, and at the end, his words were slurred, and in the originally silent hall, one after another suppressed weeping sounded.

At this point, everyone knows that every word of Emperor Qi today can be said to be... a will!

"My brother..."

"Be Yao and Shun..."

In the end, with a voice full of expectation, Emperor Tianqi also completely collapsed on the bed!

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Brother Emperor!"

In an instant, the shrill cries resounded through the entire Qianqing Palace, and the originally orderly Qianqing Palace also became a complete mess.

All of this, no matter who it is for, comes too suddenly!

Without the slightest warning, the sky... just collapsed!

The emperor is dead!

This news, also under the eunuch's mournful shout, swept away in all directions centered on Qianqing Palace in an instant.

On the Chengtian Gate, when Li Xiu heard the eunuch's mournful shout, he was also completely stunned.

The trend of history... really completely diverged!

Six years of Tianqi... In just six years of Tianqi, the young and vigorous emperor of Tianqi passed away!

After a moment, Li Xiu reacted immediately!

Who is the successor?

Who succeeds?

At this moment, not only him, but other than the civil and military officials present, anyone who heard the news of the emperor's death couldn't help but think about this question.

One emperor and one courtier!

In the imperial court, this is unavoidable.

stomping on...

It wasn't until the sudden sound of horseshoes that interrupted Li Xiu's thoughts. He turned his head and saw a knight in royal guards galloping towards him in the depths of the palace.

When he saw Li Ruolian sitting on the horseback, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel moved. He quickly walked down the tower and greeted him.

"The emperor passed away, I was ordered to leave the palace to arrange..."

After Li Ruolian took out the pass-through disk, he opened his mouth and expressed his intentions.

"The emperor passed away, who will succeed?"

Li Xiu glanced around, and after receiving the passing document, he asked casually.

"The king of faith ascends the throne!"

When Li Ruolian gave the answer, he couldn't help but look at Li Xiu with a bit of envy.

As a Jin Yiwei, he naturally knew that Li Xiu and Zhu Youjian had a deep friendship. In the past, he wanted to warn him one or two times. After all, as the emperor's pro-army, it is really not a good thing to have close contacts with the emperor's relatives.

But now, it mutated overnight!The former king of faith has become the emperor...

Then Li Xiu...

As thoughts flowed, Li Ruolian looked at Li Xiu with more and more kind eyes.

The future is really bright, and there is nothing better than this!

Chapter 87 Zhu Youjian

"Xin Wang ascended the throne..."

Watching Li Ruolian gallop away on the horse, Li Xiu's expression was a little dazed, and after a long time, he turned his eyes and looked into the palace.

The shrill shouts had long since dissipated, but there were faint crying sounds that drifted with the wind from time to time.

For people of this era, the news of the death of the emperor is really too shocking!

The same is true for Li Xiu.

The emperor died, and the king of Xin succeeded to the throne.

All of this really happened so suddenly that he was not prepared at all.

The north wind howled, and Li Xiu stood on the tower, silently watching the stretching palaces in his field of vision. In his field of vision, he could clearly see the busy maids and eunuchs in the palace.

When the emperor passed away, there was an extremely strict and grand etiquette system for the funeral. Although the emperor had just passed away, the process of this ritual system had already begun.

At this moment, the civil and military officials who entered the palace also came out of the palace one after another. Compared with the solemnity when they entered the palace, at this moment, these civil and military officials who left the palace did not feel much easier.

The change came too suddenly, and everyone needs enough time to digest the change, or in other words, need time to think about how to deal with the change.

But no matter what, the sky above Daming's head has changed, and this is destined to be an unchangeable fact.

Eunuchs, Donglin, civil servants, nobles, and even eunuchs in the inner palace...

One emperor and one courtier!

The undercurrent is raging, and the chaos has emerged.

Just as Li Xiu was fascinated by the palace stretching before him, he saw a group of eunuchs coming from the palace.

"Wang Chengen?"

Li Xiu was no stranger to the visitor, although he had never really communicated with him, but he had met several times, he was Zhu Youjian's personal eunuch, the famous eunuch Wang Cheng'en in history.

"Li Qianhu!"

When he heard Wang Chengen's call, Li Xiu couldn't help being taken aback. At this point in time, Wang Chengen didn't accompany Zhu Youjian, so what did he do with him?

"The prince!"

Walking down the tower, Li Xiu stepped forward.

"Li Qianhu, His Majesty has an order to command Qianhu to lead your troops to take over the defense of Qianqing Palace immediately!"

Hearing this, Li Xiu raised his brows, looked at Wang Chengen who had a dignified expression, and immediately understood in his heart. He surrendered his command, and summoned all the soldiers under his command, and headed for Qianqing Palace in a mighty manner.

When Li Xiu led his troops to Qianqing Palace, the emperor's bedroom had already been arranged like a mourning hall, with white sails lined up, candles ablaze, maids and eunuchs shuttled through the palace, but it was busy in the silence.

The soldiers came suddenly, and more than a thousand armored soldiers stood outside the hall. The silence and solemnity of Qianqing Palace was also broken by the sudden arrival of soldiers.

"Nine thousand years old."

Seeing the attack, the eunuch immediately reported to Wei Zhongxian.

When he saw the heavy soldiers outside the hall, Wei Zhongxian's pupils also shrank, and said in a deep voice:

"Whose soldiers, who sent them?"

"It's Li Xiu from the Yongwei Battalion!"

Hearing this name, Wei Zhongxian's gaze instantly locked onto Li Xiu who was striding forward, his complexion became solemn for an instant, and a rather stiff voice sounded:

"Order, things in the palace will continue as usual, let everyone keep a low profile, and don't make any more fools!"

"Nine thousand years old, this Li Xiu..."

The eunuch beside him couldn't help but speak out, but Wei Zhongxian interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"The Yongwei Battalion is the Son of Heaven's own army, and it is normal to be moved by the Son of Heaven's order. You should close your mouth tightly..."

Even so, the deep unwillingness in his tone was clear.

Looking at Li Xiu who took over the defense of Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian's eyes went deep.Can't help showing a deep annoyance.

The Yongwei Battalion is under the Yumajian, and the Yumajian is under his control, so everything is tight.

But right now, before he got any news, the Yongwei Battalion appeared here.

How could he not know the friendship between Li Xiu and Zhu Youjian.

With the order of the new emperor, plus Li Xiu's prestige in the Yongwei Camp...

Before he even made a single move, this brave guard battalion, which he had exhausted his efforts, seemed to be out of his control, to be used as a wedding dress for others!

This undoubtedly completely disrupted all his expectations.

The helpless new emperor, and the new emperor who has mastered a battalion of elite troops before he has fully ascended the throne, these are completely different concepts!

A long sigh also resounded in the hall, which could not dissipate for a long time.

……

"Your Majesty, Li Qianhu has brought troops here!"
