The miserable moonlight became more and more intense, like the moonlight pouring down the silver light with a bit of strange color, and no one noticed the gorgeous scene of the meteor speeding by. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the imperial capital Bianliang was shrouded in a brilliant light, and the smile raised was heartily rippling with the joyful festival.

In the Cide Hall of the Imperial Palace, a dying old man's face flushed like a glow, he was lying on the bed full of ambergris, and two people were kneeling under the bed. These two people are dressed in casual clothes, one of them is thirty years old, with a bit of elegance on his thin face, but there is a faint majesty in his body, and that person is the current crown prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, King Chai Rong.

The other person has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a pair of shining tiger eyes under his thick eyebrows, and his knife-like face exudes a fierce aura, and his whole body exudes a faint bloody aura from time to time. That person must be a famous general who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has killed countless enemies, that person is Li Chongjin, although he is dressed in civilian clothes, but it is difficult to hide his brave and heroic temperament, and at this time Li Chongjin is like a docile kitten, kneeling without saying a word.

"Ahem, the widow knows that the end is coming, and when I call you here today, I will have an explanation for the future." Guo Wei squirmed his lips and said laboriously. His gaze swept over the two juniors who were kneeling under his bed, Chai Rong was his righteous son and his nephew, and Li Chongjin had a strong blood relationship with him. These two are peerless geniuses today, but there is only one throne, although there is a fixed number in his heart, but he must pave the back road before the deadline, so as to avoid the tragedy of palace civil strife.

"The widow appointed Guo Rong as the crown prince, do you have any objections, after the widow's limit, Rong'er will be a great treasure, and there is no objection to re-entering."

Guo Wei's tone became stern, and the supreme majesty couldn't help but spread, making the two people who knelt under the bed feel a shock in their hearts.

"Don't dare to re-enter, please decide everything." Although Li Chongjin's eyes revealed a touch of unwillingness, he still lowered his head and said solemnly.

"If you admit that you are brave and good at fighting, Rong'er is indeed inferior to you, but if you recognize that you are not as good as Rong'er in governing the country, you must know this. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, self-cultivation and recuperation, we must first strengthen its national strength, so that the people can enjoy and work forever. If a country cannot prosper and prosper, and the people cannot live and work in peace and contentment, then the country is not far from destroying the country, not to mention that the countries around my Great Zhou Kingdom are eyeing each other, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a land of no return. Helplessly, the limit of the widow is approaching, and he cannot recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is a regret in the widow's life. ”

Guo Wei calmed down his emotions, and he said slowly to the two people kneeling under the bed, and there was a faint sense of loss in his eyes. In life, there is no great satisfaction, there must be some regrets, and Guo Wei's lifelong regret is that he did not recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, so that the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains were exposed to the iron cavalry of the northern barbarians.

"Re-entry understands that in the future, re-entry will definitely support the new emperor, do his best, and die." The unwillingness in Li Chongjin's eyes began to gradually dissipate, replaced by a determined light.

"Okay, with your words, the widow will rest assured, you can step aside, the widow and Rong'er still have something to say." Guo Wei waved his hand. And Li Chongjin was relieved, bowed up, and slowly walked out of the temple door, he didn't know that his back was already wet. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, everyone knows this truth, although he is Guo Wei's nephew, he is first and foremost a courtier. After feeling the fluctuating aura around him begin to regain his calm, he breathed a sigh of relief, he understood that as long as he had a little dissatisfaction just now, then he might have to lie down and go out at this time.

Walking in the corridor outside the hall, looking at the moonlight pouring down, Li Chongjin knew that he had lost all opportunities to fight, and he could only face reality. Thinking of this, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and his heart seemed to be a big stone falling to the ground, and he regained the bloody temperament that the fierce general should have, and walked along the corridor outside the hall with his head held high.

A figure appeared behind him like a ghost, but it was a eunuch holding a dust, the eunuch had a pale and bloodless face, and looked coldly at Li Chongjin, who was gradually leaving. When the general disappeared in front of his eyes, he flashed like a ghost and disappeared into the shadows of the temple. No one knew about all this, Li Chongjin didn't notice it at all, and the silent eunuch didn't know where it came from.

"Remember, after the widow is limited, everything will be simple, and no extravagant state funerals will be held, just be buried in paper clothes in the coffin. In addition, remember that a pair of sword armor was killed in Hefu and Weifu, a Tongtian crown silk robe was buried in Lanzhou, and a Pingtian crown dragon robe was buried in Tokyo, and this matter must not be forgotten. Guo Wei's eyes began to shine with the afterglow of dying and commanded Chai Rong, and the sharp light in his eyes kept looking at Chai Rong who was full of tears.

Chai Rong couldn't cry for a long time, he nodded hurriedly in response, although he didn't know why this Guo Wei arranged all this, but as the crown prince, he still did what he wanted.

After Guo Wei explained these things, his breath began to relax a little, and he recommended some capable ministers to Chai Rong, such as Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, who could be prime ministers and assist him. And when he had told him about it, he went away with all his ambition.

Guo Wei, a generation of British lords, died in the first year of Xiande of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the evening of the first lunar month, which is also the Shangyuan Festival.

Zhao Kuangyin sat in his courtyard with a heavy heart, and behind him stood the Yellow River Siyi, Ma Chenghui and Zhao An. It's been more than ten days, and there has been no news about the whereabouts of Ling Tianyun and Dugu Aoxue, and it is said that there is some bad news in the palace, and all this seems to have a bad omen. And Zhao Kuangyin also received a news that shocked him even more, that Master Huaisu disappeared while healing the emperor, and even Fu Heng of the Holy Yang Gate did not find his whereabouts.

All this is not a conspiracy, Zhao Kuangyin can't wait to divide his own into several halves, the emperor recovered from a serious illness on the first day of the new year, but the illness is even more serious on the eleventh, and the Zhao family is tied to the chariot of the Great Zhou State, and has to always pay attention to the movements of the court. Fortunately, the eldest brother Chai Rong can inherit the unification in a straightforward manner, which is another good thing for the Zhao family.

"General Zhao, the whole city has been searched, but I haven't found Ling Gongzi and Miss Dugu, the members of the Flying Bird Battalion have searched day and night, but they have found nothing." Ah Lai also appeared in the Zhao Mansion at this time, and he reported to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was very ugly, all this was originally developing in a good direction, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden change, which really caught him off guard. And his father went into the palace again, and now the whereabouts of Master Huaisu have not been found, which is a major matter related to the emperor's life. He divided the members of the Flying Sparrow Battalion into two parts, one team continued to search for the whereabouts of Ling Tianyun and the others, and the other team searched for Master Nahuaisu's Xiaoluo, but they all returned in vain.

Just when he was distraught, in the distance, there was a sudden melodious and empty bell, and Zhao Kuangyin's face changed even more when he heard the bell.

"The emperor has died", a thought flashed in his mind, but the bell did not stop, it rang melodiously and emptyly, making everyone's hearts suddenly shake, as if they had lost something. He couldn't believe the thoughts that flashed through his mind, but a touch of grief appeared on his face.

The melodious bell echoed in the sky above this ancient and majestic imperial capital, and the starlight above the starry sky suddenly dimmed a lot, causing a moment of silence among those people who were full of joy, they didn't know what had happened, but at the same time a wordless grief rose in their hearts. It was as if something was choking in their chests, and the sadness that welled up in their hearts blew into their minds like a gust of wind.

The pedestrians and passers-by who laughed and laughed on the streets, those luxury high-rollers who indulged in the lights, after they heard the melodious bells, they all fell into silence, some people were pale, some sighed for a long time, some mourned inexplicably, as if they were blown by an incomparably strong cold wind overnight, and the imperial capital city suddenly fell into an inexplicable atmosphere of sorrow.

Zhao Kuangyin rode a horse and rushed out of the courtyard of the Zhao family like crazy, leaving only the doubts and puzzles in the eyes of everyone in the Zhao Mansion, and the sound of horses' hooves began on the street, and many wealthy families walked out of their homes one after another. In the streets and alleys, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, and the carriages and people went in one direction, that is, the place that symbolized the imperial power, the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Palace.

Finally, Chai Rong successfully ascended the throne and became the second emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and in the main hall, the solemn face of the Chinese military officials in front of him, and the earth-shaking shout, made his blood boil. He finally stood at the highest point of this imperial capital, he could finally show his ambitions, and the world would still belong to him after all.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray." The shouts of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty almost toppled the roof of this hall, and their eyes showed an eager and blazing light, and they couldn't help but secretly look forward to what great things this new master in front of them could bring them.

Looking at the hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Chai Rong's heart was even more boiling at this time, and the hardships and hardships brought about by today's conscientious work like walking on thin ice were swept away, but there was a bit of supreme majesty hidden in his slightly elegant aura. The civil and military officials in front of him are all familiar faces, but he is in the prime of life after more than thirty years, and he will lead them to open up a new Great Zhou, a bright and grand plan to dominate the unparalleled Great Zhou.

With a wave of his hand, Chai Rong's gaze fell on the red-faced man with the bright and heroic armor at the end of the hundred officials, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He didn't know about Ling Tianyun's disappearance, he couldn't be distracted by the big events in the palace, the two just looked at each other silently, and let out a knowing smile.

Feng Dao, after the former Tang Dynasty, the former Jin Dynasty, the former Han Dynasty, and the current Great Fourth Dynasty Kingdom, was named the National Taishi, he stood at the forefront of the hundred officials, but at this time he was in good spirits, and he couldn't see the twilight of an old man. It's just that his expression is a little weird, and Guo Wei's death has more or less an impact on him.

The other civil and military officials looked at this young and middle-aged master with their own hearts, some were happy, some were secretly remorseful, and some were afraid alone. They also did not expect that the emperor Guo Wei, who had just recovered from a serious illness, would become more ill after the New Year and suddenly die on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, all of which caught them off guard and made them panic, after all, the new master in front of them was not familiar with them.

In addition to Feng Dao, there are also Fan Zhen and Wang Pu, who were mentioned by Guo Wei before his death, and they will obviously take on the important position of prime minister and become the ministers of the national pillar of the Great Zhou. Among the military attachés, except for Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, they are all young warriors, just like this young country, full of vitality.

In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the night, Guo Wei died of illness, and Chai Rong officially ascended the throne in front of his spirit and became the second emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
