Liu Xian looked very solemn, so it must be a very big deal, and he probably wasn't talking about him being crowned king.
Nor did he let Cao Zhengchun retreat.
Xing Bang nodded, and Liu Xian grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Xing, my health is like this, and I am afraid I don't have much time left."
"I tossed and turned for most of last night and have decided to abdicate and let the crown prince take the throne on a chosen day."
"Brother, what do you think?"
Oh shit!
Xing Bang was really surprised that Liu Xian would pass the throne to Liu Hui so quickly.
However, on second thought, there was nothing wrong with it. Being able to see his son ascend the throne before he closed his eyes made him feel a little more relieved.
To put it bluntly, the helpless Liu Xian still had some concerns in his heart. What if after he closed his eyes, the throne did not pass to Crown Prince Liu Hui?
Xing Bang naturally had no objection in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Brother Emperor, you must not let your imagination run wild. You should repay the emperor with kindness!"
I believe Liu Xian must be very determined, but Xing Bang cannot agree so easily. Isn't this a curse for the old guy to die early and be reincarnated soon?
As expected!
Liu Xian shook Xing Bang's hand and said, "Brother Xing, we are a family and we should not talk behind each other's backs. Zhengchun has been with me for most of my life and has always been loyal..."
"So, Brother Xing, don't have any concerns. The country is the most important. I have made up my mind, but I still want to hear your thoughts."
Xing Bang let out a long sigh, then nodded, and now he could talk.
In fact, for Xing Bang, there are no taboos at all and he cannot say anything. He acts like this just because he feels sorry for Liu Xian.
"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I will not say much."
"If you think about it carefully, this is a very feasible thing to do. The emperor is in poor health, and abdicating the throne to the crown prince will indeed be of great benefit to stabilizing the court."
"The prince has taken on the heavy responsibility of the country and the people. I think he will mature sooner rather than later."
Liu Xian nodded heavily, "Yes, what Brother Xing said touched my heart."
"Also, I still say the same thing. I don't have the energy to teach the prince anymore. I'll leave this heavy responsibility to my brother, Prince Xing."
Xing Bang understood Liu Xian's intention when he said this again. He held Liu Xian's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will treat the prince as my own son and will do my best to help him become a wise ruler."
Liu Xian also shook Xing Bang's hand again, and said with a look of satisfaction: "With what Brother Xing said, even if I close my eyes now, I will be able to smile in my grave."
"Brother, Hui'er, I'm leaving my brother to you."
Liu Xian's last sentence has a strong sense of involvement, and his tone fully reveals the trust between the two brothers.
Xing Bang also understood that he should treat Liu Hui as his own son.
"Don't worry, bro!"
"Okay, this matter is settled."
Liu Xian was obviously much more relaxed.
Then he continued, "Brother Xing, since I have decided to abdicate to the Crown Prince."
"Then I think it is necessary to change the agreement we made last time that we should be on the same side as the king."
"I want to change the title of Prince Xing to Prince Regent!"
Liu Xian's body was extremely weak. He felt a little out of breath after saying a few words in one breath.
Regent?
Wow, this is even more outrageous. Liu Xian really risked everything and took out all he could.
However, Xing Bang could have anticipated this regent, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Even if he was not given the title, after Liu Xian died, Liu Hui would have appointed Xing Bang as regent when he ascended the throne.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to pass the test of Madam Fanghua and Queen Xiao.
Smirk!
"Brother Emperor, isn't this regent a little too hasty?"
There was no need for Xing Bang to be polite anymore.
To be honest, it was indeed a big step, but it was Liu Xian who was anxious now.
It is not difficult to understand that Liu Xian wanted to personally give Xing Bang a combination of kindness and power.
The nature is different!
After all, he still made his best effort and hoped that Xing Bang would assist his son wholeheartedly.
"Brother, desperate times call for desperate measures!"
"I have already thought about it. During this period when you were not in the court, I was not idle either. I also discussed the title of the imperial grandmother with several important officials."
The imperial great-grandmother Liu Xian mentioned naturally refers to Zheng Xiujun, as their seniority is clear.
"It has basically been finalized now, but the Great Elder has not been informed yet."
"I am going to confer the title of Grand Princess Honghua on my great-aunt."
"Your Majesty is wise and I believe the Great Elder will not have any objections."
Xing Bang also knew in his heart that this position was extremely noble and could not be surpassed.
The name "Honghua" itself implies the demeanor of an elder.
Li Lizhi was named the eldest princess, and you have the highest rank among all the princesses.
Adding a "da" in front of the title makes the title "Grand Princess" different, as it is a title that only the emperor's elders can enjoy.
However, Zheng Xiujun's seniority is too high and she is also very young, so giving her the title of "Imperial Aunt" is a relatively satisfactory result.
If we add the word "gao" or "sheng", Emperor Liu Xian would seem too humble.
Xing Bang thought that it was probably to match him as the regent.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Since Xing Bang agreed, Liu Xian naturally wouldn't hesitate any more and the title was decided.
Then he continued, "After the title of the Imperial Grandmother is announced to the world, as for the true identity of Prince Xing, coupled with your glorious military exploits, I believe that people in the world will easily accept it."
"Then, I will grant you marriage, and the whole world will celebrate and hold a grand wedding!"
Hearing this, Xing Bang was somewhat moved. Liu Li's life was hanging by a thread, and he had to say that this arrangement was really reasonable and flawless.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't know what to say."
Xing Bang's moved expression made Liu Xian feel even more relieved.
To put it bluntly, if you don't show gratitude after all the effort you put in, there's nothing you can do about it. You've done what you need to do.
Liu Xian smiled slightly, "Brother Xing, there is no need for these polite words between you and me. This is our family's business, so why wouldn't I do my best to handle it?"
Xing Bang nodded and didn't say much.
Then, Liu Xian continued, "Now the matter of abdicating the throne to the crown prince is settled."
"I plan to choose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to the heavens on the top of Purple Gold Mountain and formally abdicate to the Crown Prince."
"It was on that day that I, in front of all the civil and military officials, publicly appointed Prince Xing's younger brother as the regent."
After saying this, Liu Xian let out a long sigh and looked extremely relaxed.
In fact, the thought of his royal father, the regent, flashed through his mind, but he still had to save some dignity and face for himself.
