Emperor Zhaowen sighed weakly again: "I hope I can wait until he comes back."
Su Wen'an hurriedly comforted him:
"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune and will recover. Please rest well and stop dwelling on these troubles."
Emperor Zhaowen sighed softly:
"The Great Zhao Kingdom is my responsibility. How could I not think about it? I cannot let the Great Zhao Kingdom be destroyed in the hands of my descendants!"
Otherwise, how could he face his father?
How can I face the Emperor?!
Su Wen'an also sighed in his heart.
Several princes are really disappointing.
Otherwise, Your Majesty would not be so worried.
At this moment, he felt a little disappointed with his friend.
"Forget it, summon the six ministers to discuss the matter."
Su Wen'an was a little worried about Emperor Zhaowen's health, but Emperor Zhaowen was always stubborn, so he could only agree and go down to pass on the message.
On this side, Emperor Zhaowen dragged his sick body to handle state affairs.
On the other side, almost the same scene was being played out in the residences of several princes.
The eldest prince’s residence, outer study.
A group of staff members were arguing.
"Your Highness, we can no longer sit here and wait for death! The Emperor is not feeling well right now, this is the perfect time for us to show our abilities!"
"Your Highness, I still think we should hold our ground. His Majesty has not yet appointed a crown prince, and Your Highness is the most legitimate successor. At this time, we should remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
"If we don't move, the other princes won't miss this golden opportunity!"
"Then let them fight. If they annoy His Majesty, we'll reap the benefits!"
"Oh! Whether we end up profiting from this or end up with someone holding a knife to our necks is beyond our control!"
"Okay, stop arguing! What do you think we should do?"
The eldest prince obviously did not want to sit and wait for death.
"Your Highness..."
"Alright, there's no need to say more. Your Highness has already made the decision."
"Yes." The staff member was still a little worried and a little uneasy.
He always felt that things would not go smoothly.
"In my opinion, we should take the initiative to volunteer to help the Emperor solve his problems!"
"That's easy to say! There are several other princes in the court who are eyeing them covetously. How could Your Majesty possibly agree to this?"
"Then it depends on who can seize the initiative!"
The two started arguing again.
The eldest prince sat in the armchair with a gloomy face and fixed eyes on a certain place. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
At this time, there was also a lot of noise in the Second Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, we must act quickly! The other princes will certainly not stand idly by!"
In the outer study, the second prince's staff were unanimous in their opinion.
After all, they don't have the advantage of being the eldest son.
Unless the eldest prince above is gone.
"However, we cannot act rashly. If we fail, we will only anger Father!"
The second prince thinks a lot.
On the one hand, he wanted to be in power, and on the other hand, he wanted to get his father's approval.
The staff looked at each other, feeling helpless:
"Your Highness, this is not the time to let your emotions get the better of you!"
If you want to gain the emperor's approval, you must show your ability in the future.
The most urgent task now is to get this position first!
The second prince frowned, pursed his lips, and did not respond.
At the Third Prince's residence, the same scene was also playing out...
The two underage princes can only rely on their mother's family now.
They don't have a say yet.
But such a scene was also playing out in front of them.
throne.
Who wouldn't want to be the most supreme person in the world, with the power of life and death over everyone in the world?
*
After Emperor Zhaowen discussed state affairs with the six ministers for a while, he felt a little overwhelmed.
He gave instructions and asked Su Wen'an to take care of him while he rested.
In the following days, the entire government and the country seemed to be at peace.
But the people in the capital city all felt the undercurrent surging beneath the calm.
Nowadays, even in music halls, laughter is rarely heard.
The common people went out early and came back late. When they met each other, they would just nod to each other hurriedly and then go home.
The doors of the house were also locked tightly.
Even during the New Year, there was not a trace of laughter.
There is not even anyone visiting relatives.
After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the entire capital city suddenly became lively.
Because General Han has returned with 20,000 soldiers of the Mobei Army!
This news suddenly made the capital city, which had been quiet for more than half a month, lively again.
Han Yi entered the city with a hundred soldiers.
The people lined the streets to welcome them.
The princes all had gloomy expressions now. They temporarily suppressed their restlessness and greeted Han Yi with smiles.
Emperor Zhaowen also seemed more energetic that day.
Supported by Su Wen'an, he sat on the dragon throne in Xuanzheng Hall and met with Han Yi.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"My dear, please get up quickly. You have traveled for several days and must have worked hard."
Han Yi stood up and replied with a smile:
"I am not tired. Your Majesty is the one who works the hardest for the country. Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report."
Seeing the seriousness in Han Yi's eyes, Emperor Zhaowen was stunned for a moment and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Di Rong has made some move?
But it is already spring, and Di Rong generally would not invade the border at this time.
Emperor Zhaowen was at a loss for a moment, so he waved his hand and asked everyone around him to leave.
Wait for everyone to leave.
