Chapter 149 The Emperor's Thoughts
He knew his cheap father's temperament very well, and he would definitely be extremely disappointed in him, which just happened to fulfill his wish.
He didn't want to show up in public before his facial injury healed, which gave him a chance to catch his breath. Teng took action against the prince and Murong Jing.
Although there was a possibility that the emperor would take action against Murong Jing, he was still worried. He would not be completely relieved until Murong Jing died.
After Murong Yi left, the emperor immediately summoned General Tian into the palace and asked him about the trip.
General Tian told everything, even the encounter with the zombie soldiers in the Jiaoshan Gorge.
He felt that such matters should not be concealed from the emperor. If more corpse soldiers really appeared in the future, he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
That was a huge sin, and he couldn't bear it.
After hearing what General Tian said, the emperor felt a sinking feeling in his heart. It turned out that Lao Wu had been hiding something from him. Fortunately, General Tian was sent to follow him, otherwise, who knows what kind of tricks he would have done behind his back.
None of his sons is without evil intentions. They are all obsessed with the throne under his butt. He is not even dead yet, but they come to him so blatantly one after another.
If I wasn't afraid that the Murong family's kingdom would be destroyed in his hands, I would really want to kill those evil beasts.
The emperor didn't think about it at this moment. On the one hand, he despised his sons for being useless, and on the other hand, he hated his sons for eyeing his throne.
Haven't emperors and princes been like this since ancient times? Otherwise, why are the fights for the throne so cruel and ruthless in every dynasty?
"Tian Heng!"
General Tian bowed and said, "I am here!"
"Hand over your affairs to the Ministry of War and depart immediately to take over the duties of General Sima."
"Yes, I obey your order."
When General Tian heard the order, he thought to himself, as expected. On the way back, he was thinking about this issue. If he reported General Sima's affairs to the emperor, he would definitely be sent to replace General Sima.
General Sima has his own army and he might lose his life on this trip, but he has no right to say no since he has to obey the emperor's order.
General Tian took the order and left. The emperor immediately summoned people from the Ministry of Revenue and quickly sent someone to the Northwest County to take over.
Lord Fang from the Ministry of Revenue smiled bitterly while holding an imperial edict in his hand. There was a severe drought in the northwest. If he just left with nothing, what would he use to rebuild the Northwest City?
After everything was arranged, the emperor summoned the Dragon Shadow Guard and sent four more people to Northwest City to secretly investigate Murong Jing and Murong Li.
Tell them not to alert the enemy and report any news to him as soon as possible.
The people who were previously sent to protect Murong Li were called back when Murong Li and his companions left Hutouling because of special circumstances.
Now he sent another person to investigate. Firstly, he wanted accurate information, and secondly, he didn't want the second and fourth brothers to collude with each other.
What the prince has done now really chills his heart. The Murong family’s kingdom must not fall into his hands.
This person is narrow-minded and cruel. He even dares to plot against his own father. Moreover, this person is not capable of handling important tasks and has no special abilities. He relies solely on his cruelty.
If the Murong family's kingdom was handed over to him, he would probably spend his whole life like him, living in calculations and having no intention of managing the Xifeng Kingdom.
The Xifeng Kingdom is now in tatters, and these are the results of his neglect.
Now he regrets it, but it's too late for him to realize that when he wants to manage it well, he is already unable to do so.
Therefore, he must find a capable person to succeed his throne and manage the Kingdom of Xifeng, so as not to let the Kingdom of Xifeng change its owner.
Even if he were to go to the underworld, he would still have the face to see the ancestors of the Murong family.
He originally wanted to choose between the fifth and fourth sons, but now the fifth son's face is destroyed and there is little possibility of recovery. Also, his courage disgusts him, so the throne cannot be passed on to him.
There is only the fourth brother left. Based on what the secret guards reported, he is certain that the fifth brother is not what he seems.
I originally wanted to observe him, but now this kind of thing happened.
But he couldn't believe everything Lao Wu said, so he sent someone to check it out.
If the fourth brother really colluded with the second brother, he really couldn't imagine what the future of the Xifeng Kingdom would be.
The emperor sighed to the sky, suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"emperor."
The newly appointed chief eunuch, Eunuch Gao, was horrified when he saw this. He ran over in panic to support the emperor and immediately shouted outside the door.
"Someone come, someone come."
Two eunuchs hurried in.
"Hurry and find Imperial Physician Feng to come into the palace."
Eunuch Gao shouted quickly without asking the two men what was going on.
When the two eunuchs heard Eunuch Gao's anxious voice, they ran away.
"Your Majesty, come on, drink some warm water."
Eunuch Gao helped the emperor lie down on the bed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, poured him a cup of warm water, and said softly.
The emperor looked at Eunuch Gao weakly, drank half a cup of warm water, and felt a little better. He lay back on the bed and squinted his eyes.
Ever since he fainted after the national treasury was stolen last time, his health has been getting worse day by day. He knows that he doesn't have much time left, but the current troubles make him extremely worried.
When Imperial Physician Feng came in, it was already an incense stick later. He immediately took the emperor's pulse. Then he looked at the emperor and sighed in his heart. The emperor's internal organs had begun to fail, and the emperor would not live for many days.
The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Imperial Physician Feng: "How much time do I have left?"
Imperial Physician Feng was shocked. Did the emperor know about his condition?
He frowned, wondering whether he should tell the emperor the actual situation.
If I tell the emperor the truth, I'm afraid he will suffocate and die. What will he do then?
The emperor died in front of his eyes. He felt responsible even if he had no responsibility. The punishment could be exile at the very least and beheading at the worst.
Alas! Being an imperial physician is too dangerous. You could lose your head at any time.
The emperor saw that he was silent for a long time and knew that his condition must be very serious. Even the imperial doctors did not dare to tell him.
The emperor said in a deep voice, "Speak now. I will forgive you. I want to know how much time is left."
He is easy to deploy.
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Feng was sweating inwardly. The Emperor had finally shown some openness. He knelt before the Emperor in fear and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence. Your Majesty has at most one year left."
The emperor's pale face twitched. He didn't expect that he only had a year to live. He thought that he still had at least three to five years left.
It's too late now.
"Get up, I know my own body well. I don't blame you, but you are not allowed to tell anyone about my condition, or I will chop off your head and kill all your clans."
Imperial Physician Feng was so frightened that he kowtowed tremblingly: "I obey your order!"
"Get up and give me some medicine."
The emperor glanced at him. This old guy had always been his imperial physician and was trustworthy, but he still had to be warned. Once his condition was leaked, the royal family would be in turmoil.
