I don't think I'll survive this year

Ji Huaizhi kowtowed in front of the bed, "Father, the royal family and courtiers are waiting outside the palace, do you want to call them in?"

Emperor Wei's illness has been dragging on and off for almost a year. A few months ago, the incident of the third prince's rebellion made him even more furious, and he fell into a coma for several days. The news made the weather-beaten emperor finally unable to support himself, so he could only rest in bed.

However, these days it is rare to be a little energetic, and to be able to read the memorial occasionally.

Although the imperial physicians didn't say it clearly, Emperor Wei knew in his heart that this might be the last few days... But he couldn't let it go... Huaizhi had only been involved in political affairs for a few months, and he wasn't like his elder brothers, With the care of my mother's family... Not to mention all kinds of things in the court, King An, who is guarding the northern border, is also ready to move...

Maybe it's about to go. When thinking of King An, Emperor Wei didn't think of all the quarrels in these years, but recalled the scene when he was teaching his brother to read and practice martial arts when he was young...

Emperor Wei suddenly felt a little confused: How did he come to this point?

Ji Huaizhi's voice awakened Emperor Wei who was stuck in memory, he slowly turned his eyes to his kneeling son, and nodded his head imperceptibly.

Li Hai, the head of the eunuch standing beside him, understood, and hurriedly instructed the little eunuch at the door to go out to announce the decree.

And Emperor Wei, who was lying on the couch, raised his hand with some difficulty, moved his bloodless lips, and said softly: "Huaizhi, come... to Emperor Father..."

After all, it was because he had no strength, but after a little movement, he became panting.

Ji Huaizhi answered "Yes" in a low voice, and hurried up a few steps, sat on the edge of the couch, and held Wei Di's trembling palm.

Seeing that Emperor Wei was about to get up, Ji Huaizhi carefully lifted him up, then took the pillow beside him and put it on his back. After this tossing, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Emperor Wei's forehead again.

Wei Di raised his hand in a vain manner, stopping Ji Huaizhi from wiping his sweat. He held Ji Huaizhi's hand like this, carefully looking at his only remaining son.

Ji Huaizhi doesn't look like Emperor Wei—Emperor Wei's facial features are deeper than ordinary people, and the lines on his face are also extremely rigid. As the pitch-black eyes turned, there was still a frightening majesty.

But Ji Huaizhi's appearance is more delicate, his eyes are also light brown, the 15-year-old boy, his facial lines are still soft, and his brows also reveal some of the flamboyance that is still unique to teenagers...

Looking at it like this, Emperor Wei thought of the third child again. That child looked the most like himself, so he couldn't help but feel partiality. But in the end... After the initial anger, Emperor Wei also felt a little sad. He thought about his life , He asked himself how he worked hard and diligently, how did he end up with this result in the end-brothers' jealousy, father and son turned against each other, and he also sent white-haired people to black-haired people time and time again, watching the children leave first by themselves one by one ...

Footsteps came from outside the hall, and courtiers of the imperial clan knelt in front of Emperor Wei's couch to salute in order. Emperor Wei passed Ji Huaizhi and cast his gaze to the lower head. Wang called softly: "Xuan Ze..."

Li Wang Jixuan is the posthumous son of the late emperor. Although his ability is mediocre, he is extremely loved by Emperor Wei.Emperor Wei seemed to want to pour all his brotherhood on this youngest brother.

King Li bowed his head and bowed, then got up and walked a few steps to the side of Emperor Wei's bed.

Emperor Wei slowly took Ji Xuanze's hand, his eyes were earnest, "Huaizhi... you can help him more in the future..."

"Brother Huang—" Ji Xuan couldn't help but mourn.

However, he finally nodded solemnly to Emperor Wei's earnest gaze.

Emperor Wei turned his eyes to Ji Huaizhi, curled his lips with effort, and showed some genuine kindness in his eyes, "Huaizhi... I can't play around anymore, if you have something to ask, please ask Uncle Li. Father Gone, you—”

"Father!" Ji Huaizhi finally couldn't hold back his tears when he heard Wei Di's tone of confessing his last words.

He didn't know why he was so sad, obviously he never really regarded this man as his father.

Emperor Wei shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Ji Huaizhi's arm with great effort, and then motioned Li Hai to read out the decree that had been drawn up.

"The crown prince is straight, Dunmin is in harmony, and the virtues are natural, so he should be the emperor. The special appointment of Li Wang Jixuanze, the cabinet Yang Wanche, Cui Heng, and Wu Mingjian are the assistant ministers. Yi and others are the important ministers of the clan, and I entrust them with my heart..."

Li Hai was clearly standing beside Emperor Wei, but Ji Huaizhi felt that the shrill voice seemed to be coming from the sky, and he couldn't hear it clearly. Amidst the voices of "the ministers are waiting for the decree", he followed numbly. All the people saluted.

After everyone led the decree to retreat, only the father and son were left in the inner hall. After the important matter, Emperor Wei relaxed more and more. He called Ji Huai to the front again, held his hand, and said gently. Said: "Good boy, don't be sad, Father will have such a day sooner or later... It's better to go down earlier, to accompany the late emperor, and also to meet your unworthy brothers... Father is not a good father , I also failed to fulfill the responsibilities of Junfu to you, and now I leave you alone, leaving such a big burden—"

Ji Huai shook his head with tears streaming down his face, "It's a dishonorable minister——"

Yes, of course he is unworthy, he refuses to recognize Emperor Wei as his father, but how can he be a good son himself?

During those days in the palace, he stared at the ups and downs of Emperor Wei's favorability every day, and then speculated on his preferences, and acted "should be".That attitude, rather than treating his father, could be more like treating a raider target...

Emperor Wei gently patted his hand, and comforted him: "You are a good boy, I have also read your homework for the past few days, and you have made great progress...Wan Che and the others are capable, and there are some things that you can do. It doesn't matter if you ask them more... You are young, and I am afraid that they will have other thoughts, so I asked Uncle Lihuang to help you, so as to suppress them... You Uncle Lihuang, although he has a soft temper Some, ability is also limited, but fortunately, I don't have any thoughts, and my identity is... cough cough cough—"

Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, and Ji Huai hurriedly patted his back to comfort him.

Emperor Wei coughed for a long time before he calmed down. He waved his hand to Ji Huaizhi, "You go out first...what needs to be said is almost done...let me stay by myself for a while."

Hearing what he said, Ji Huaizhi had no choice but to purse his lips, said "yes", saluted, got up and left.

After leaving the gate of the palace, he ran into King Li who hadn't left yet.

King Li also saw Ji Huaizhi at this time, he hurriedly stepped forward, came over and saluted, "His Royal Highness."

"Uncle Huang hasn't gone back yet?" Ji Huai calmed down before responding in a hoarse voice.

"Just now I had a brief chat with Lord Yang and the others." After explaining a sentence, King Li took another look at Ji Huaizhi, who had red and swollen eyelids, and said in a warm voice, "His Royal Highness personally took care of His Majesty's dragon body, which is really a lesson in filial piety. But for you Crown Prince, you should also take care of your health."

His voice is clear and light, but it is extremely touching. It is obviously an ordinary greeting, but when he speaks it, it makes people feel a little ironic for no reason.

Ji Huaizhi cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your concern, Huaizhi understands."

However, he is really not in the mood to greet Li Wang right now, he only said a few polite words, and then left.

Walking to the corner of the main hall, Ji Huaizhi seemed to suddenly think of something. He paused, turned around and cast his gaze on Li Wang who was about to leave the palace gate. He just looked at Li Wang's back and followed Ji Huaizhi. The little eunuch was already used to his behavior, and immediately stood aside with his head bowed, waiting for Ji Huaizhi to regain his composure.

In Ji Huaizhi's eyes, a light brown translucent empty frame slowly emerged behind the King of Li, with a line of small characters on the top - wisdom, martial arts, ambition, goodwill, and the corresponding numbers below.

Ji Huaizhi, as always, skipped the first two items that are pure nonsense, and started directly from the third number.

After he saw the number clearly, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the virtual frame in front of him also fluctuated violently, and then disappeared immediately.

But Ji Huaizhi froze in place motionless.

"His Royal Highness?" Ji Huaizhi stood in a daze for too long, and the little eunuch beside him couldn't help but remind him.

Only then did Ji Huaizhi come back to his senses, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he frowned and walked quickly to the East Palace.

It's just that his heart felt a little heavy. The number he saw just now was - 99.

Because of what happened when he was young, Ji Huaizhi really didn't have a good impression of the imperial palace, and he didn't even have the slightest idea about the dragon chair.So when his elder brothers were in a heated battle, he carefully avoided all matters related to the court, and before he was old, he begged for a favor to leave the palace and build a mansion early, and went outside to enjoy himself.

But he didn't expect that the situation has been turned upside down in the past few months, Ji Huaizhi was pushed to the position of crown prince in a daze before he regained consciousness, and moved back to Miyagi.

Emperor Wei was in poor health and ordered him to supervise the country on his behalf, but his role is roughly equivalent to that of a human-shaped stamp. Although he has been in court for a few days, he really doesn't have a deep understanding of those court affairs. , there was no trouble in the upward direction.

Coupled with the fact that King Li went to inspect the border on behalf of Emperor Wei some time ago, Ji Huaizhi really had no contact with him, so he couldn't talk about making any comments, but he thought of what Emperor Wei said just now - "I don't have any thoughts."

Ji Huaizhi recalled the ambition value as high as 99, and his heart became more and more heavy. I am afraid that his thoughts are too big.

He suddenly remembered the rebellion a few months ago. His third brother had indeed planned for that position, but no matter in terms of age or strength, he was the one who held the most position among the remaining princes. advantage.Moreover, when Emperor Wei was lingering on his sick bed, he gradually handed over the government affairs to him, and the meaning was very obvious.

Under such circumstances, his forcing the palace to rebel is completely unreasonable...

What's more, his third brother and Uncle Li Huang have always been close, and the rebellion failed, so they are naturally deeply involved.But King Li didn't touch the slightest fishy smell, and Emperor Wei even felt relieved to let him assist the government.

Ji Huai couldn't figure out how he did it, but this did not prevent him from realizing how powerful this person is...
