After several hours.

Emperor Xiang Yanran woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw a group of people standing next to the bed.

Empress Chen, Empress Cui, Prince Xiang Tiange, and Princess Xiang Ling, stood near the bed, all with red eyes and tears looking at him.

"Father!"

"Your Majesty, you're awake!"

There are also the son-in-law Xie Anran and the uncle Shen Dafu.

Further away, there are Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, Censor Wang Su, General Xiao Hunhou, General Li Yu, Deputy Prime Minister Xiao Gongwang, Other nine ministers, Taichang Lu Zi, Doctor Cui Haoran, Weiwei Cheng Bushui, Taipu Wang Xiao, Tingwei Zheng Jingrong, Dahonglu Liu Qi, Zongzheng Xiang Hong, Daongong Order Yang Chu, etc.

There were also imperial physician Ling Song Yi, Cai, and the eunuch who were serving him.

Everyone was in a mess, and each one was extremely anxious.

Everything that is due, is here!

The rest of the things that didn't come can't come either.

Unfortunately, King Ping had not returned, which made him a little worried.

Xiang Yanran wanted to get up, but felt weak, and felt dizzy and weak all over.

He knew that he might not have much time left, but he was just holding on with his last breath.

It is unknown whether you can wake up next time.

"I don't have much time!"

Xiang Yanran glanced at everyone and said, "You all go out, Cai He is waiting by your side, and Xiao Hunhou stays. I have something to say to him alone."

Everyone was frightened and looked at each other, leaving the bedroom and waiting outside.

...

Chu Tianxiu stayed alone in the bedroom, feeling a little uneasy, not knowing what the emperor wanted to say to him alone.

"I asked you to go to Prince Ping's Mansion and become a son-in-law, can you blame me?"

Xiang Yanran sighed softly.

"No complaint, this is my destiny."

Chu Tianxiu smiled bitterly.

Who made the identity of Hunhou Mansion so embarrassing? The emperor was reluctant to deal with it. The son-in-law who came to the door was also the best way to make Hunhou's family disappear from now on.

As a modern person, he does not have too strong resistance to his son-in-law.

Being a young man and having a soft meal at home is something that many people in later generations dream of.

Although they yelled that a man would never be humiliated by this son-in-law.

But if they really want to be the son-in-law of the Prince Ping’s Mansion, they will definitely be 100% happy. If someone comes to rob them, they will kick them down.

They are all a group of guys who say things wrong.

This good luck fell on Chu Tianxiu, and he had to accept it even if he didn't accept it.

After resisting, he, the little husband, quickly recognized the reality, became a son-in-law, and gave up struggling.

He originally wanted to be a low-key son-in-law in the Pingwang Mansion and enjoy his happiness.

However, the strength is too strong, it is not allowed!

Making paper, inventing gunpowder, and making steel are all major events that changed the Great Chu Dynasty. There are too many jealous people.

How can he be a son-in-law keep a low profile?!

He naturally became the highest-profile son-in-law of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"I'm not dead, so I'm not afraid of you turning your palms out.

I am going to die, but I don’t want the prince to have hidden dangers and harm my great Chu. You must understand that I have always been very worried about you."

Xiang Yanran looked at the ceiling coldly, and his tone was a little sarcastic. "Little Hunhou, give me a reason!"

"Yan Ran Guile!"

Chu Tianxiu sweated on his forehead, and knelt on the ground in a flash, and immediately said: "I will fulfill Your Majesty's unfulfilled wish!

On the day of my return, I will leave my arms and return to the fields, become a retired Xiaoyao Hou, and retire with Li Yu."

Xiang Yanran looked at Chu Tianxiu deeply, "This huge Chu... is only the most sensible person. If everyone is as sensible as you, I don't have to worry about it."

Cai He, give me a will from Xiaohunhou. After I go, open it. You go out and let the Prime Minister come in."

Cai He took out a box beside the bed and handed it to Xiaohunhou.

"yes!"

Chu Tianxiu took the will with both hands carefully, her clothes were soaked, and she left the bedroom.

If the answer just now did not satisfy the emperor, I am afraid that he would have fallen to the ground now and he would go underground with the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor finally had a huge wish and needed him to fulfill it.

...

Prime Minister Kong Hanyou entered the bedroom alone.

Xiang Yanran looked at him for a long time and sighed: "Kong Qing, I have no regrets in my life.

I know that you have worked hard all your life to flourish in Confucianism. The poor Confucian scholars in the world are all children of your Confucius disciples.

Don’t block the new policy due to the dispute between general studies and Confucianism.

The new policy of the Gengzi period is the national destiny of the Great Chu for hundreds of thousands of years. You must not give up halfway, please.

Cai He, give Prime Minister Kong a will."

"Yes! Old minister, accept the order!"

Kong Hanyou knelt on the ground, and tears flowed.

Cai He took a will and handed it to Kong Hanyou.

...

Soon, the censor Wang Su entered the bedroom.

"Wang Qing, the nobles of the family, have always been the mainstay of our great Chu. We prosper and all the more prosperous and the more we lose! You must stand firm, ensure the prince ascends the throne, and ensure the stability of the great Chu. Who is the enemy of our great Chu, and also the enemy of your nobles.

The Censorate should keep a close eye on Xiaohunhou, Prime Minister Kong and the Censorate should not let them do anything randomly! Cai He, give a will."

"Yes, the old minister takes the order and is exhausted to protect the prince ascends the throne!"

Wang Su kowtowed and took the order in tears.

...

The prince-in-law Xie Anran was summoned to the bedroom.

"Thank you! After Xiao Gongwang was promoted to Deputy Prime Minister, there was one of the nine ministers who had no suitable candidates.

You have achieved the merit of defending the city in Wanling, and are not afraid of rebellion by the princes. You have achieved merit of clearing the remaining evil in Kuaiji and have excellent abilities. You can make up for the shortcomings of the nine ministers and assist the prince with all your heart.

Those old ministers were too selfish and often ignored the overall situation.

Xiao Hunhou is a pillar of talent. I want to use him, but it is so outstanding!...I can't understand him.

You are young and courageous. Although you are a clan, you are not attached to power and have extraordinary demeanor. I can trust you! Unfortunately, time is too tight and there is no time for you to exercise more.

When the time is right, the Shaodi will make up for you as the secondary and main phases.

I want to see that the young emperor and you will build a prosperous and majestic Chu together! Cai He will give him a will."

Xiang Yanran reminded.

"Yes! I will do my best to assist the young emperor!"

Xie Anran's eyes turned red and she said.

...

Soon, the three dukes and nine ministers received a decree one after another and came out of the bedroom.

The last ones who entered were Empress Dowager Shen, Empress Cui Rou, Crown Prince Xiang Tiange, and Princess Xiang Ling, who accompanied her together.

"The prince is young and reckless and impulsive, and it will take ten years to achieve great success. Unfortunately, I have no time!"

"After the prince ascended the throne, you are the only one who is the best attentive and should take good care of him!"

"Xiang Ling, Xie Anran, you should watch more. Xie Anran is not attached to power, I am willing to cultivate him. But people's hearts will change. Don't let him have a day of inflation and damage my great Chu country."

The emperor instructed them to give the crown prince's will to succeed to the throne, etc. one by one.

...

After Emperor Xiang Yanran finished all these things, he had exhausted his energy and asked everyone to retreat, so he could take a break.

He looked through the window and looked at the afterglow of the sunset outside.

Cai and the eunuch were quietly guarding each other.

This is the so-called "people can do their best". If you give the emperor Xiang Yanran a few more years, you will definitely be able to sweep the Huns and fulfill your long-cherished wish for many years.

"Cai He."

"I'm here!"

"After I go, you should retire and return home. You have been with me for most of your life. I will reward you with 100 taels of gold and 100 hectares of good land. Go back to enjoy your old age!

When Yanran returns to the ground, remember to burn a letter to me."

Xiang Yanran said lightly.

"Yes, the emperor! I must remember it."
