This is more of a family letter than a will.
"Huairen, I am writing this letter with not much time left. Looking back on this period, there are two most painful things. One is the death of Crown Prince Su Yi, and the other is the death of Huaining. First, I lost my loved one, and then I suffered the pain of losing my wife. I can no longer see hope.
I can only be considered a king who maintains the status quo. If Su Yi succeeds to the throne, he will surely be able to revitalize Dayu. But now the only person who can succeed to the throne is Su Lin. I don't know if Su Lin can be a good king, and I am powerless to guess. I only hope that Rong Zhen is by his side and can give him more advice. With the support of the Yi family and the Baili family, Dayu should have no worries.
If in the future, Su Lin becomes suspicious of the Yu and Baili families, hurting the foundations of the two families and disturbing the roots of Dayu, Huairen, you can use this opportunity to summon mercenaries back to Beijing and establish a new emperor. Su Lin and Rong Zhen's daughter Chenyu is deeply loved by me. Although she is young, she is very smart and can take on the task. Although she is a woman, I believe that if she becomes an empress, she will be no less than the previous emperors of Dayu.
I am only worried about Lian's son Shi Zhao. Although I have high hopes for him, human hearts are unpredictable. If Chenyu ascends the throne in the future and the Lian family has ulterior motives, I must eliminate the Lian family to secure Chenyu's throne.
I have hidden this letter in the phoenix hairpin that Huaining wanted to give to the family of the Gui family. If you, Huairen, can see this letter, perhaps it is a critical moment for the fate of Dayu. I trust Huairen, and I trust the family of the Gui family to make the best choice for Dayu. "
After Cai Quan finished reading the late emperor's handwritten will on the silk, everyone present knelt on the ground, each terrified. No one had ever thought that the late emperor would trust the Qie family so much.
Huairen is the name of General Gua Lao, and Huaining is the name of the late queen, who is General Gua Lao's sister.
Su Chenyu was also a little confused. Did the Emperor actually look at her like this?
"I don't believe it!" Su Lin tried to snatch the silk from Cai Quan's hand. Cai Quan looked at General Gua and only gave the silk to Su Lin after General Gua nodded.
Su Lin could read the late emperor's handwriting very clearly. Every word stung Su Lin's eyes and were like thorns in his heart.
It turns out that the late emperor never acknowledged his own abilities from beginning to end. He would rather choose Su Chenyu than trust himself. This is really the biggest joke in the world.
"Everything the late emperor worried about has come true. Su Lin, you are not worthy of being the emperor of Dayu. Give yourself some dignity." The old general looked at Su Lin with indescribably complicated eyes.
Su Lin seemed to be crazy: "Why? We are all his sons, why is there only Su Yi in his eyes and not me?"
"Su Lin, people should know their own limitations. If you forcibly take something that does not belong to you, or even a person, you will not be able to keep it in the end." The old general sighed, "The throne is like this, and Rong Zhen is also like this."
At this moment, although the old general was angry and aggrieved, at this moment, he felt that these were no longer necessary. Only when Su Lin abdicated could Dayu have a future.
The past cannot be changed, we can only pray for the brightness of the future.
Eventually, Su Lin was imprisoned in his own palace, nominally the emperor but in reality a mad prisoner.
In this lifetime, Su Lin will never be able to step out of the palace gate. Whether he dies or not, he will slowly be forgotten by the subjects of Dayu.
With the late emperor's last will and the support of Jian Suining and other court officials, Su Chenyu succeeded to the throne legitimately. However, she hesitated, looking at the high dragon throne, and turned and left.
Seeing Su Chenyu's actions, everyone present was anxious. General Gu signaled everyone to stay calm: "Chenyu only wants to seek justice for those innocent people. She never thought that she would sit on the throne. I will go and talk to her. You are also tired all day, go back and wait for news."
