Chapter 1176: Can You Perform My Father's Duties on My Behalf of Me?
Gu Chengyu didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask such a question, he opened his mouth, originally wanting to comfort the emperor. But as soon as he came into contact with the emperor's firm gaze, those high-sounding words could no longer be spoken.
"If you cooperate with the minister's needle, you may be able to survive for three months!" Gu Chengyu paused and said the most deadlines.
The emperor gasped a few times when he heard this, "It seems that this poisoning is like the urging of the king of Hades!" In this world, the best of ten cannot be satisfied. What if you are a royal power? Hades wants you to die on the third watch, so he won't keep you until the fifth watch! It's fate! It's not your own, and you can't keep it if you barely get it! ”
Gu Chengyu only felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, since he entered the court, he realized that people's ** is endless, and he also realized the darkness and helplessness of officialdom.
He knew what the emperor meant, this throne was not his, he got it, but he couldn't keep it. But who can tell the things of this world? If the emperor didn't fight or grab, maybe it would have been a loess long ago.
"Can the eldest prince's eyes still heal?" The emperor's weak voice remembered again, interrupting Gu Chengyu's flying thoughts.
"It's recovering, and although only some dim ghosts can be seen at the moment, it's much better than not being able to see at all before." Because he took Gu Chengyu's pill, he naturally had to care about it.
"Can it be fully recovered?"
"This Weichen is not guaranteed!" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, how could he make such a promise?
"I believe in you!" The emperor glanced at Gu Chengyu, and the dead silence in his eyes, which was originally like an ice lake, suddenly rippled.
Gu Chengyu suddenly fell in his throat, maybe the eldest prince was the last hope for the emperor.
"I don't have many days to live, Gu Aiqing! This country can only rely on you to wait in the future, I will hand over the eldest prince to you, can you do my father's duties on my behalf? With tears in his eyes, the emperor looked at Gu Chengyu with pleading in his eyes.
Gu Chengyu looked at the emperor in shock, "Your Majesty? ”
"You...... If Weichen tries his best, he can delay for the emperor for a few days, it's not hopeless, how can you be discouraged? Gu Chengyu suddenly spoke a little incoherently, he knew that the emperor supported the queen mother, maybe he wanted to explain the future, but he didn't know that the emperor trusted him so much.
"My body, I know it myself, has run out of oil, so why deceive myself again? Life is just a few decades, and now it's just an early end! ”
The emperor's desolate smile made Gu Chengyu silent, and at this moment he felt that no amount of comfort was pale. For a person whose life is about to die, I am afraid that he will not be able to listen to his consolation at this moment.
"The Queen Mother is old, and I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of the eldest prince for a few years. The death of the emperor, the rebellion of the horse, the poisoning of me, and the blindness of Brother Ye, each and every one of them hit the queen mother very hard. She can still hold on now, completely because of a belief. ”
The emperor coughed and gasped twice, struggling to sit up. Gu Chengyu hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor's body and stuffed the pillow behind the emperor.
"Jinyu! Isn't it ridiculous that you say I? An emperor who has only been in office for three or four months will be recorded in the annals of history in the future, and it will be a joke! The emperor suddenly chuckled, his tone full of self-deprecation.
"It's not the emperor's fault!" Gu Chengyu comforted softly, in fact, he also felt that the emperor was quite miserable.
originally sat on the throne, full of thought that a better day was coming. Who knew that before he began to enjoy the wealth of imperial power, the border began to be in turmoil, and there were his own brothers who were eyeing the throne.
It seems that since the emperor ascended the throne, there has really not been a day of ease. I am always worried that my own brother will pull me down from this position.
Therefore, being born in the royal family may not be a good thing.
"Jinyu! I am fortunate to have your support, and I thank you! The emperor looked at Gu Chengyu and suddenly smiled very brightly, he actually didn't understand why Gu Jinyu was willing to be subservient to others because he had the talent of the world.
In fact, he has many opportunities to take his place, with Gu Chengyu's ability, there is no doubt about it at all.
Sometimes he felt that Gu Jinyu was very contradictory, he seemed to care about power very much, and he desperately wanted to climb up. But he is very principled in doing things, if he really has the intention of rebellion, how can he and the boss resist it? But he didn't.
So he said that this person is very contradictory, obviously a person who is unwilling to be subservient to others, but he can endure to bow and kneel to him every day. It seems that even if he kneels down, his arrogance is still unyielding, and he will not let people despise him.
Gu Jinyu is a person he can't see through, a person who is difficult to figure out.
"The emperor is serious, this is what Weichen should do." Gu Chengyu was a little uncomfortable, he was really uncomfortable with being so sensational all of a sudden.
"I thank you because you chose me in the first place. In fact, I don't know something, King Gong and King Jing are so wooing you, why are you indifferent and choose me? That's what I've always wanted to ask. ”
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, he was a little tired.
"Because of the emperor's purity, no matter how much the emperor finds a reason to excuse your own goodness and soft-heartedness, you are such a person. Take the matter of Master Wu as an example, did you really let him become a monk because you wanted to have a good reputation? When you were still a prince, they all calculated against you, why did you show mercy to your subordinates so many times? Whether you admit it or not, you are always a good person, but you don't want to face your heart! ”
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly, this is the reason why he chose Zhao. Even though Zhao's performance made him a little disappointed when the emperor died, he still persevered after all.
It's not that he didn't want to replace him, but he is actually a very lazy person, and the life of this emperor is not easy. He was admitted to the imperial examination, firstly because of his mother, and secondly because he protected the family, that's all.
"Pure goodness?" The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Gu Chengyu a little stunned, and after a while, he sighed.
"Father really knows how to take a name, Zhao, it's for Houye! Maybe since I was born, my father had no intention of letting me succeed to the throne, right? ”
Born in the middle of the palace, named! However, the eldest son of Shu was named Xian! It can be seen how much he has high hopes for the eldest son.
"No matter what the first emperor thinks, it is you who sit on the throne now!" It seems that the emperor has always been angry that the first emperor did not pass the throne to him, and yes, after all, it was from the middle palace, which is really difficult to settle.
"I've been unwell for the past two days, so you can accompany Brother Ye more for me! I heard Pang Chu say that he likes you very much, and he will have to rely on you to take care of him more in the future. ”
The emperor's voice weakened, and it could be seen that his body was already very tired.
"The courtiers." Gu Chengyu responded, he knew that the emperor was most at ease with Zhao Guangye.
"I'm tired, you can step back first!" The emperor said weakly, and Gu Chengyu hurriedly knelt down. There is still a pair of messes waiting for him in Dali Temple! The emperor's poisoning must be investigated as soon as possible.
