When Li Xin was taken to the Son of Heaven's dormitory, the five Zaifu had just come out of the dormitory, and two groups of people passed by by the wrong shoulder, and several Zaifu glanced at Li Xin in unison, but Li Xin did not squint and walked into the dormitory with an expressionless face.

In the dormitory, the Son of Heaven had already sat up from the bed, Empress Xie and the crown prince were by his side, and the Taikang Son of Heaven at this time had a slightly ruddy face compared to before, and he looked almost the same as a normal person.

This does not bode well.

Li Xin took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Minister Li Xin, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

"Get up."

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon couch and stretched out his hand to support him, Li Xin got up and stood with his hands down.

The Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin seriously, then waved his hand and said to Xiao Zheng: "Move a chair for Chang'an." ”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly moved the chair over and placed it behind Li Xin himself, Li Xin hesitated a little and sat down.

At this time, there were not many people in the dormitory, only the Son of Heaven's family of three, as well as Li Xin and Xiao Zheng.

The Son of Heaven looked out the window at the sky, turned back to Queen Xie and said, "It's late, the queen and the crown prince should go down and rest first." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Zheng.

"You go and send the queen and the crown prince back to the palace."

Xiao Zheng nodded, and led the queen and the crown prince to leave the Son of Heaven's dormitory temporarily.

So, the two of them were left in the dormitory.

In the past ten years, the Son of Heaven was often alone with Li Xin, needless to say when he was in the Wei Palace, even after he sat as emperor, he often summoned Li Xin into the palace, and the two of them would occasionally drink in the Weiyang Palace.

Therefore, this scenario is not unusual.

Unlike before, this time it is very likely that the two of them will be alone for the last time.

The Son of Heaven looked a lot better, and he also had some strength on his body, he stood up from the dragon couch, and after taking two steps, he arrived in front of Li Xin and smiled reluctantly.

"Just now, a few Zaifu from Shangshutai came in, I have already explained the future to them, and the prince has been decided, at this time, the palace city is full of internal guards and Qianniuwei, and there are you outside the city...... Guarded by Hou Jingde, the capital can be said to be impregnable. ”

"I have arranged everything, and the crown prince can ascend the throne smoothly, without having to take risks like I did back then."

Li Xin got up from his chair and looked up at this "partner" of more than ten years.

The relationship between the two people can indeed be described as "partners", after all, more than ten years ago, the two of them came together because they wanted to achieve their respective goals.

"Your Majesty, you ......"

The Son of Heaven's face was calm.

"I won't live long."

"For the past ten days, I have been sick in bed, I only feel cold, and sometimes I can't move if I want to, but this evening, I suddenly got better, and I have the strength in my body, and I am a lot more sober."

Li Xin smiled reluctantly: "This is a good thing, it shows that Your Majesty is getting better." ”

The Son of Heaven glanced back at Li Xin and laughed at himself: "This is a return to the light." ”

"I'm going to die."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven frowned.

"As early as ten years ago, I knew that I might die at this time, I have been preparing for ten years, but I didn't expect that when it came, I would still be a little panicked in my heart."

Li Xin lowered his head and did not speak.

The Son of Heaven personally moved a chair from the side and wanted to sit opposite Li Xin, but Li Xin hurriedly stepped forward and helped him bring the chair over.

The Son of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Li Xin.

He looked at Li Xin, and his tone was like two old friends chatting about family life.

"In Chang'an's opinion, how is the prince?"

Li Xin was silent for a while, and then said: "The prince has seen wisdom, but no one can say what the future holds. ”

I don't know if his life is approaching, the Son of Heaven at this time is much more open-minded than before, he asked with a smile: "Can you be a king?" ”

Li Xin can be said to have watched the prince grow up, and he naturally has the right to speak on this issue, so he slowly spoke when he heard the words.

"The prince can be a king, but to what extent, the minister dare not say."

"Unfortunately, I don't have time."

The Son of Heaven shook his head with some regret.

"Otherwise, I have many other heirs, if I can watch them grow up, I may be able to pick out a holy monarch from among them."

Back then, the Son of Heaven in Chengde was to pick out a capable prince for the Great Jin, and the battle for the heir ten years ago would be so fierce, only Taikang Tianzi was too young, his eldest son was His Royal Highness the Prince, and he was only thirteen years old, and most of the other sons were under the age of ten, even if they were chosen, they couldn't choose anything.

Li Xin sighed.

"In the future, the crown prince may not be a holy monarch, nor may he not be a good emperor."

The Son of Heaven smiled and looked up at Li Xin.

"In Chang'an's opinion, am I a good emperor?"

"Count."

Li Xin replied without hesitation, he glanced at the Son of Heaven, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has succeeded to the throne for ten years, and there has been no major construction work, no labor and loss of money, except for the early years of Taikang's expedition to the southwest, the imperial court has no major expedition over the age of one, and the people have been rich in things and things for ten years......"

Marquis of Jing'an paused and continued

"Jusheng Chengde Dynasty."

In fact, Li Xin's words didn't make much sycophancy, Taikang Tianzi, the emperor, may be a little mean to Li Xin over the years, or to the people around Li Xin, but he is not good at Huawu Palace, and he is not good at flowers, birds and strange stones, even the hunting that Chengde Tianzi likes, Taikang Tianzi is also lacking in interest.

Calculated carefully, there is nothing wrong with this son of heaven except that he is slightly better at women.

And the problem of being a good woman is not a disadvantage in the Son of Heaven, but an advantage.

With such an emperor, coupled with the rich heritage of the Chengde Dynasty, as long as the court does not die, the country will naturally get better and better, and today's Taikang Dynasty is indeed richer than the Chengde Dynasty.

But the Taikang Dynasty is also far inferior to the Chengde Dynasty, when the Chengde Son of Heaven succeeded to the throne, the Great Jin Dynasty was still in ruins, and the Holy Son of Heaven worked hard to put a good game of chess on the mess of the Great Jin Dynasty, making this nascent empire stronger and stronger.

In terms of the overall situation, Taikang Tianzi is far inferior to Chengde Tianzi, and he has been using the "legacy" of the Chengde Dynasty all these years.

Although Li Xin's words were a little prickly, the Son of Heaven was still very happy to hear it, his greatest wish in this life was to be on a par with his father and ancestors, and he was naturally very happy to hear Li Xin say this.

"In this way, when I see my father and emperor underground, I can be regarded as having an explanation."

At the beginning, the palace changed and seized the throne, which has always been a heart problem for the son of Taikang, because he always thinks of the old things from time to time and feels that he can't stand the first emperor.

In the past, the Son of Heaven lived in Changle Palace, and it was precisely because of the fear of the Son of Heaven that the Son of Heaven's dormitory was moved from Changle Palace to Weiyang Palace.

The Son of Heaven took a few deep breaths and slowly closed his eyes.

"Since I succeeded to the throne ten years ago, I have not felt tired every day, and every day is like walking on thin ice."

"If you want this, you have to think about that."

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven glanced at Li Xin, then closed his eyes, relieved.

"Now, I'm done."

The Son of Heaven smiled slightly: "It's easy." ”

He looked at Li Xin again, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Xin'er, the prince and Xiao Jiu, I will entrust them to you."
