Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Chapter 67 The country belongs to the capable

Guilty for not being able to return his feelings, guilty for giving him such a heavy responsibility without giving him the chance to refuse.

Even more guilty for the mess he would have to deal with next.

Yan Donghuang retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, suppressed the waves of pain like a slow slicing, and spoke with difficulty: "Yan Ming is incompetent and unworthy of being the emperor of Yong Dynasty. At noon, he will be beaten to death outside the Meridian Gate, and his body will be exposed for three days, so that everyone can see the end of this incompetent emperor."

The ministers on both sides lowered their heads, with a little fear on their faces.

"Military generals and the army are the foundation of a dynasty's stability, the weapon to defend the border, and the confidence that foreign enemies dare not invade. Only when the king is wise can the country be strong and the people be safe." Yan Donghuang held the golden armrest, so weak that even his lips had no color. "I have been poisoned and my time is running out. I have to announce the next emperor today as the emperor."

All officials knelt down and kowtowed: "My emperor is wise!"

Yan Donghuang's eyes swept across the faces of the officials one by one. His voice was tired and weak, but it revealed an irrefutable determination: "General Yaoguang, one of the seven generals of the Qingluan Army, is both virtuous and talented, and is both civil and military. I recognize him as my brother, give him the surname Yan, and make him the crown prince. After my death, he will ascend the throne as the new emperor."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the hall were shocked.

Even the Qingluan Army soldiers who were originally unaware of the situation were extremely surprised and turned to look at Feng Yaoguang.

However, Feng Yaoguang lowered his head, his face was pale, and he was filled with deep sadness.

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Pei knelt down hurriedly, "This is against the rules, please think twice! General Feng is both civil and military, and we old ministers admire him deeply, but... but..."

The Minister of Rites then spoke: "Prince An is your brother and the only remaining blood of the late emperor. If your Majesty has any chance, you should pass the throne to Prince An."

"Please think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

Yan Donghuang coughed lightly and suppressed the bloody breath in his throat: "It's not that I don't want to pass the country to my seventh brother, but... but the Yong Dynasty is no longer unstable..."

"Your Majesty!"

"The country should be ruled by the capable." Yan Donghuang's eyebrows Frowning, he endured the pain and said, "Although Prince An is the blood of my father and my elder brother, he is weak and indecisive, and is not suitable to be the king of a country."

"Only when Feng Yaoguang ascends the throne can the Qingluan Army be better placed to ensure that the generals of the Qingluan Army can use their talents to guard the border and prevent foreign invasions."

"Only a general who has experienced life and death can accommodate a general as powerful as him, understand the difficulties of the soldiers at the border, and will not easily ignore the lives of soldiers. Only then can... only then can the Yong Dynasty be more stable..."

The constant loss of strength in his body made it more and more difficult for Yan Donghuang to speak, and he spoke intermittently, but he never changed his decision.

His Highness Yan Ling lowered his eyes and remained silent.

He is indeed not suitable to be the king of a country.

But Feng Yaoguang is an outsider with a different surname, and he has no blood connection with the royal family. What identity and position did Donghuang pass the throne to him?

"Before evening, please ask the Prime Minister to work with the Ministry of Rites to draft the edict of succession. I... cough, I need to review it..." Yan Donghuang coughed hoarsely and looked up at Prime Minister Pei, "Prime Minister Pei, there must be no mistakes."

Prime Minister Pei was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do for a moment.

This is the Yan family's kingdom, how can it be passed on to an outsider?

"I deposed and enthroned the king for three-tenths of my own selfishness, and seven-tenths for the sake of the country of Yong." Yan Donghuang's eyes fell on the prime minister and other ministers. "Last night's palace coup, except for those involved in the murder of this palace, my Qingluan Army did not kill an innocent person, and except for the commander-in-chief Ying Rong, no other members of the Imperial Guards were killed or injured."

"But this is only limited to last night."

"Today I have ascended the throne. If there are people in the court who disobey my order, I will no longer have mercy. I will deal with them as I should... cough cough cough! cough cough cough..."

The piercing pain came over him like a flood. Yan Donghuang held the armrest tightly with one hand and the clothes on his chest with the other hand. He almost curled up into a ball.

"Your Majesty!" Feng Yaoguang swept forward.

Qin Yang and Gu Chiran didn't care about anything else. They took two steps at a time and stepped up to the steps in front of the palace. They walked to Yan Donghuang and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Doctor Wen! Doctor Wen!" Feng Yaoguang picked up Yan Donghuang and walked to the back hall quickly, shouting, "Call Doctor Wen!"

The generals standing on the right followed without saying anything, as if they had suddenly attacked the enemy and urgently gathered to discuss military information.

The civil and military officials were nervous and uneasy, not knowing what to do.

Doctor Wen and Doctor Hao had not left. During the hour when Yan Donghuang was resting in the morning, Qin Yang sent someone to bring the military doctor over.

The three doctors took turns to feel the pulse, but they all looked worried.

"Is there any way to relieve the pain?" Feng Yaoguang looked at the three doctors, "Think of a way, we can't let her suffer this kind of pain."

Yan Donghuang started to vomit blood again.

The maid brought the dragon bowl and placed it in front of the bed. Yan Donghuang lay on the edge of the bed and began to spit out blood.

The military doctor stood by and watched, his eyes full of sadness: "There are medicines that can alleviate some of the pain, but your majesty's condition... I'm afraid your lungs are all broken, and medicine is useless."

"What if we can invite a miracle doctor?"

"What miracle doctor?" Doctor Hao said woodenly, "Even if there is a miracle doctor, it may be possible in the first two days of poisoning, but I'm afraid it's too late to save him now."

Feng Yaoguang was shocked and looked at Doctor Hao and the military doctor.

The two were silent and nodded in unison.

One of them is a doctor of the imperial city, one is a military doctor, and the other is a doctor of the imperial hospital.

The medical skills are all very powerful, but at this time, they all announced this disappointing result.

Feng Yaoguang's last glimmer of hope was shattered, and she was stunned, as if she had lost all her life.

Yan Donghuang tried his best to stay awake and braced himself, and said with difficulty: "You all should go out."

In the small side hall, there were only seven people standing there including General Guang, Rong Ying and Si Ying guarding the door, plus three doctors, it looked a bit crowded.

Yan Donghuang left Feng Yaoguang alone.

Seeing his pain and despair, Yan Donghuang felt extremely guilty.

"Yaoguang, I'm very selfish." She said in a weak voice, "I clearly know your intentions and can't repay you, but I leave you with such a heavy responsibility at the last moment. I shouldn't, but I...I... "

Before he finished speaking, blood began to overflow from his throat.

Feng Yaoguang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He stepped forward and cried bitterly: "Stop talking! I don't blame you. I did it all willingly..."

"Shaking light." Yan Donghuang reached out and touched his face, "If there is a next life, I... I will definitely..."

Feng Yaoguang shook his head in pain: "I don't want the next life, I just ask you not to die in this life, Your Highness..."

"Maybe this is fate." Yan Donghuang laughed at himself, "It's my fate."

Feng Yaoguang roared with red eyes: "You have lost everything, so why can't you fight against fate one more time? Does fate say you should die? Why can't you go against fate?!"

"Can you...can you stop saying stupid things?" Yan Donghuang was helpless and distressed, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I go against the will of heaven?"

Feng Yaoguang cried bitterly: "Yes, you can definitely do it..."

"If there is a next life, I...I will definitely live up to you." Yan Donghuang's voice trembled, "This is not to coax you, it is true. Yaoguang, the country will be entrusted to you, Qingluan Army... no matter when it comes , don’t do anything to harm the Qingluan Army. With strong military strength, foreign enemies will not dare to invade. Once… once…”

"I know, I know everything." Feng Yaoguang choked and nodded, "I know everything..."
