Chapter 365: Prince Changle is made the new emperor and ascends the throne today
Unfortunately, when Li Tianzhuo realized this, it was already too late.
Emperor Nan Xin's internal force transmission has been started. Once it is terminated, his internal force will be gone, and Li Tianzhuo will not get it either.
He could only accept it with great pain so as not to let his father down.
Having said that, the tears in my eyes couldn't stop flowing.
Men don't shed tears easily, and today he really cried.
"Son, now that our father is gone, you and your eldest brother have something to discuss."
"Listen more to the opinions of that girl Deng Youning. She is a good person. If you want to make her your queen, that's fine. With her helping you, your father will be at ease."
After the emperor said this, the transmission of internal force also ended.
Without the strong inner strength to support him, his body collapsed instantly. He couldn't even stand up. He fell to his knees and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
Regardless of the fact that he had just finished absorbing the inner energy and was meditating to regulate his breathing, Li Tianzhuo immediately knelt in front of Emperor Nan Xin and supported him.
"Son, don't cry. Your father is going to find your mother..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Nan Xin breathed his last.
Li Tianzhuo's mind was blank at this moment.
He even forgot to be sad.
After he came to his senses, he still sniffed Emperor Nan Xin's breath in disbelief.
After making sure that the person was really dead, he felt as if his entire body was being torn apart by silk threads, and he yelled, "Dad—"
This roar, which carried all his inner strength, was heard by everyone outside the hall.
Deng Youning heard sadness in the voice.
When Eunuch Cai heard the voice, he also secretly wiped away his tears.
He knew that His Majesty had passed away!
Li Tianzhuo closed Emperor Nan Xin's eyes, knelt before him in a daze, and kowtowed three times earnestly.
Eunuch Cai took out a scroll of imperial edict from his wide sleeves, which was the decree of succession.
He also ordered his eunuchs to sound the alarm to announce the emperor's death in an orderly manner.
The bell was so loud that the whole Cloud City could hear it.
After hearing the news, the ministers rushed over overnight regardless of the current time.
King Yi and his son also put on mourning clothes and rushed to see their father and grandfather for the last time.
Deng Youning looked at the golden imperial edict in Eunuch Cai's hand and asked knowingly:
"Is this... a decree of succession?"
Eunuch Cai nodded.
"What about Emperor Nan Xin...?"
Thinking that Emperor Nan Xin might have died, otherwise Eunuch Cai would not have asked people to sound the alarm, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
I couldn’t imagine how sad Li Tianzhuo would be at this moment!
Although Emperor Nan Xin did not do good things in his life and repeatedly hindered the relationship between him and A Zhuo, he was still his father after all!
His fatherly love for Li Tianzhuo is genuine and unreserved.
Deng Youning kicked the door open and ran in.
At this time, Li Tianzhuo was holding the body of Emperor Nan Xin, his eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down his face.
It was the first time that Deng Youning saw Li Tianzhuo crying so hard that he couldn't speak.
Seeing his beloved woman coming, Li Tianzhuo seemed even more aggrieved and cried even harder.
Seeing him crying, Deng Youning couldn't control the tears in her eyes and cried with him.
"Azhuo, how did His Majesty die?"
Deng Youning felt like she had something stuck in her throat when she heard what he said.
She didn't even know if it was the right thing to ask.
But even if she was wrong, Li Tianzhuo would never blame her.
"He passed his internal energy to me, and now, my internal energy has been fully restored." Li Tianzhuo choked.
Deng Youning frowned. No wonder Emperor Nan Xin said those inexplicable words to him just now. It turned out that he was asking for help before his death!
"Azhuo, your father is the one who loves you the most in this world. He gave you his inner strength so that you can have the ability to protect yourself, the country, and the people."
"You have to cheer up, don't let him down, and don't let him down."
Deng Youning held Li Tianzhuo's head and spoke in a serious tone.
Li Tianzhuo did not answer. Instead, he pulled Deng Youning into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to absorb warmth from her.
Deng Youning also let him hold her, constantly patting his back so that he could gradually relax.
Eunuch Cai didn't dare to disturb them.
After a long time, Li Tianzhuo finally let go of Deng Youning and wiped away both her and his tears.
"Remember how you comforted me when my grandmother died?"
"You have to guide yourself in this way, too!"
Deng Youning comforted him again and held his hand tightly.
The two poor little ones relied on and encouraged each other, which made Eunuch Cai feel sad.
It’s hard to imagine how they got here!
"Eunuch Cai, prepare the affairs of my father and queen, and let the ministers come in to pay their respects."
Li Tianzhuo followed the rules for the emperor's death and completed them one by one. Deng Youning stayed by his side and even wore mourning with him.
When King Yi and his ministers arrived, the mourning hall had already been set up.
These things are all prepared in the palace.
Looking at his father lying motionless in the coffin, Prince Yi couldn't help but feel sad.
Even though my father has never liked me since I was a child, he is still my father after all!
Xiao Li Shen cried so hard that he was out of breath.
He was so young that he didn’t understand what death was. He only knew that he would never see his royal grandfather again.
He kept sobbing.
The ministers also wiped their tears silently.
So after people had offered incense and burned paper for Emperor Nan Xin, it was already dawn.
It's five o'clock in the morning, time to go to court.
"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Your Majesty has left a decree to appoint Prince Changle as the new emperor, and he will ascend the throne today."
Eunuch Cai held the imperial edict and asked Li Tianzhuo to accept the order and take the throne.
At this time, Li Tianzhuo could not think of anything else. He could only accept the imperial edict and take the responsibility of Nanxin's national destiny on his own shoulders.
Eunuch Cai brought the dragon robe and wanted to take him to change clothes, but he refused.
"My father has just passed away. As a son, I should observe mourning."
"I will not take off this mourning dress until the seventh day after my father's death. If you find it unpleasant, just bear with it!"
He is still as domineering as ever.
Without his father's support, he was not afraid at all that these ministers would embarrass him.
When he ascended the throne, King Yi, who had reformed himself, was very supportive of him.
But when the new emperor ascended the throne, the entire court wore mourning clothes with him, which was indeed not a good look.
At the hour of Chen, the sky brightened and the succession ceremony began.
As a princess of a foreign country, Deng Youning could only stand far away and watch him.
Li Tianzhuo originally wanted to ascend the throne with Deng Youning, but he was afraid that those old stubborn ministers would disagree and cause disputes.
Besides, Li Tianzhuo had originally intended to sit on the throne only temporarily.
He will abdicate after finding a suitable successor from among the royal family.
In the Golden Palace, he walked slowly towards the supreme throne.
When his buttocks touched the seat, everyone knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor."
Li Tianzhuo was not in a hurry to ask them to stand up, but instead felt the feeling of sitting on the throne and looking down at all the officials.
Finally, he summed it up in three words: boring!
Only then did they let everyone stand up and listen to their report.
Most of the reports were about the West Fort.
Li Tianzhuo also made it clear today that they should be prepared for battle at any time.
