Sleeping palace.

Emperor Xiang Yanran has been extremely ill these days, with high fever and fever, and rapid breathing. Occasionally, he woke up, and was also confused, muttering a few words, and then fell asleep again after a while.

The imperial physician Ling Song Yi brought a group of imperial physicians to diagnose the disease, and his eyes were red.

The emperor's serious illness came too urgently and suddenly, which made the imperial physicians frightened.

Empress Chen, Empress Cui, and Crown Prince Xiang Tiange were always by the bedside and never dared to leave the emperor's bedroom for a moment.

Cai and the eunuch actually talked less about one person.

In addition to the empress dowager, queen and prince, the uncle Shen Dafu also accompanied him in the palace.

Empress Dowager Chen is nearly 70 years old and is already very old. She realizes that there is no absolutely reliable person around her. She also calls her younger brother Shen Dafu around her, and there is a reliable person to use it.

As for the other concubines and concubines, they were ordered by Queen Mother Chen, no one was allowed to come, so as not to cause trouble, and make a young son.

"Empress Dowager, I have tried my best!

Two months ago, when the emperor was first ill, I advised him to recuperate for half a month and not to work hard in the morning, but the emperor refused to listen. This disease has never been broken.

A few days ago, the emperor went to war. After returning to the palace, the disease worsened violently. I tried my best... But the emperor still couldn't wake up. Let's make arrangements as soon as possible...!"

Queen Mother Chen cried in Song Yichao.

Empress Dowager Chen was wiping tears beside the bed, sighing, "The Ai family is old and lacks energy. She didn't look at the emperor carefully. If it were decades earlier, she would have urged the emperor to recuperate and would never make such a big mistake!"

Empress Cui and Crown Prince Xiang Tiange, mother and son, hugged their heads and cried.

Emperor Xiang Yanran lay on the dragon couch and suddenly woke up slowly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Empress Chen and Empress Cui couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"I know my son's illness. In a critical period, how can I deal with the government affairs every day? The battle in Danyang is related to the life and death of my grand Chu. When I face King Xiang Bi of Wu, how can I not fight in person?"

Xiang Yanran's face was flushed, and she looked at Empress Dowager Chen with her eyes open, and said softly: "I'm afraid my son will not be able to look back. I'm afraid there will be no more days, and I can hold on for a few days. Hurry up and deal with the big things!"

Empress Chen also knew that this is not the time for family matters, so she wiped her tears and said, "The candidate for the Crown Princess is quite important! Does the emperor have any candidates that he likes?"

"My mother decides!"

Xiang Yanran said.

He is not familiar with his younger daughters.

"My mother has been thinking about this for many years and has found several suitable candidates."

"My sister Chen in Chen's house is dignified and elegant, quiet and delicate. At the age of fourteen, she immediately became the crown prince's concubine. When the crown prince ascends the throne, she becomes the queen."

"There is also the granddaughter of Xiao Gongwang, the county lord of Xiao Xiao, who is thirteen years old. The mother has seen her several times in the palace, and her character looks good, but she is a concubine! In two or three years, when Chen Xiaomei gave birth to the prince and her status is stable, it will not be too late to marry her into the palace again."

Queen Mother Chen said.

"OK!"

Emperor Xiang Yanran glanced at Empress Dowager Chen.

The Shen family... except Empress Dowager Chen, no one can get on the table. He has always disliked the Shen family and rarely summoned the Shen family. However, he is almost out of reach, and now he still needs Empress Dowager Chen to take charge of the overall situation.

Chen Xiaomei, he has no impression of him and doesn’t know how he is.

However, the emperor had no time to care about Empress Chen's opinions, so he had to agree with them.

Prince Xiang Tiange knelt aside, listening to the depressed.

This little sister Chen has often played with her since she was a child, so she is familiar with her. She is a bit rich and petty. Alas! If you have a cheating buddy like Chen Wanbao, you will marry his sister to be the queen.

As for County Lord Xiao Xiao, the arrogant aristocratic girl has a bigger temper than the other.

Alas, his prince's life is also miserable.

Shen Dafu knelt beside him, and couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and his face was filled with tears.

When Chen Xiaomei married the crown prince as the official concubine, she was the queen.

The Shen family is expensive and unparalleled.

The Shen family finally has another backer.

Empress Dowager Chen is still smart and always cared about the wealth of the Shen family. This time, the Shen family has been safe for decades of wealth.

Even if Empress Chen passes away, Chen Xiaomei can support the Shen family as the queen.

After dealing with this matter, the harem will at least be stable.

...

Cai and the eunuch came in a hurry. When they saw the emperor Xiang Yanran awake, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They kowtowed and bowed, and cried with joy: "Your Majesty, you are awake! Just now, Prime Minister Kong was asking for a meeting outside the palace, and a great victory came!"

"He Xi?"

"The General of Cavalry, Xiaohunhou, and General of Guard, Li Yu, crossed the river north today and defeated the coalition forces of ten princes in the Wujiang camp. The 500,000 troops were destroyed. The rebel kings fled to death, and the imperial army was chasing them. After this battle, the victory was decided!"

Cai He hurriedly said.

"Okay, great! Xiaohunhou Jiangbei is stable."

Xiang Yanran's eyes lit up, and his spirit suddenly shook and he wanted to get up. However, his emotions were too excited and he coughed violently.

Soon, Xiang Yanran lay on the bed again, looking a little depressed.

He sighed and gave up and stood up.

He knew that his condition was serious this time and his situation was too fierce. I'm afraid it would be difficult to stand it.

King Xiang Bi of Wu was destroyed and Jiangnan was stable.

The coalition of ten princes was destroyed and Jiangbei was stable.

The world of the Great Chu Dynasty was hard for him to work hard for a lifetime, through a great disaster, eradicated the ten princes, and finally stabilized.

After the fiefs of these ten countries were taken back, the national strength of the Great Chu Dynasty would soar, and the finance, food, and soldiers would be greatly increased by nearly double.

The internal troubles have been eliminated, and there will be great hope in the northern expedition of the Huns.

Unfortunately, he probably couldn't see the day when the Northern Expedition to the Huns was on the way.

"Immediately, Prime Minister Xuan Kong Hanyou, Censor Wang Su, and Minister Nine Ministers, come to see me!"

Xiang Yanran said.

Unfortunately, the Grand Marshal Li Rong was still guarding the border in Shuofang, northern China, and was not in the imperial capital of Jinling.

Otherwise, the Grand Marshal Li Rong is the most suitable for being a military official.

He was not very relieved to Wang Su, Kong Hanyou and the nine ministers.

Wang Su is now the leader of the nobles of the family.

Kong Hanyou was the leader of the Confucian school.

They all have their own selfish intentions and think about the interests of their own faction first. When encountering major events, they may not put the interests of the Great Chu Dynasty first and the Xiang family royal family first.

Once they control the government, his hard-working new policy on the Boxer Praise might die in the middle and end suddenly, and it will be back a few years ago.

Grand Marshal Li Rong can't come back in the past few days.

Empress Dowager Chen is also old and lacks energy, so she cannot deal with the changes in the court.

He could only let Xiaohunhou come back and push one first to prevent Prime Minister Kong Hanyou and Censor Wang Su from undermining the young prince.

"Cai He, go there and go to Jiangbei quickly. General Xuan Cavalry Xiaohunhou, General Li Yu of the Guard returned to Jinling. Come and see me quickly! Don't delay! Let the two of them enter the palace with the three dukes and nine ministers."

Xiang Yanran thought for a moment.

"Yes, the emperor!"

Cai and the eunuch quickly took the order, took some small eunuchs, ran out of the palace, rushed to Jiangbei at night, and quickly recruited Xiaohunhou and Princess Danyang to return to Jinling City.
