"It's because I protected you that you lived safely and developed such an arrogant appearance." The emperor smiled again, "You may not believe it, but you don't think about the people who competed with me for the throne back then. How many people are there now? ”
"It's just me." Long Yi's voice gradually became lower.
"Yes, I killed them all before and after I ascended the throne." The emperor said with tears in his eyes, "You are my younger brother. You were the one that my father worried about the most before he died. He told me something, You want me to truly be like a brother and a father.”
Long Yi's eyes also filled with tears: "Brother, my father never told me."
To be honest, among their brothers, except for the emperor in front of them, the only ones who are still alive now are all young at the time.
Among them, he was the only one who ever competed with his eldest brother for the throne.
The emperor added: "It is true that I love and care for your young brother, and it is also true that I want to sit on the throne. I can fully say that in order to protect you, I have to ascend the throne. No, I also really want to be the emperor. .”
"But it's true that the emperor is protecting me."
"It's true that my father once wanted to pass the throne to you, but then he said that you were too young. If you ascended the throne as emperor, your relatives would have exclusive power, so he chose me in the end."
Long Yi smiled faintly: "Yes, when I was only five years old, how many ministers were willing to support me?"
If the young man at that time really sat on the throne, the ministers who supported him would definitely be used by his mother and concubine.
At that time, the relatives had exclusive power, and the consequences were something the royal family did not want to see.
This is also what the ministers who support the legitimacy of the throne do not want to see.
"Now you understand what happened in the past, your father's painstaking efforts, and I have never forgotten our brotherhood."
The emperor said weakly.
Long Yi went over, sat on the edge of the bed, and grabbed his eldest brother's hand tightly: "Brother."
The emperor responded, stretched out his hand to touch the top of his hair, just like he did when he was a child, and said with a smile: "It would be great if our brothers could put an end to their past feud."
Long Yi nodded: "Brother, please tell me which prince you want to ascend the throne. I will give you my full support."
"Those princes are not my heirs, nor are they from our lineage. It is nothing more than a cover-up for me to raise them."
"I once wanted Chi An to inherit the throne, but now that people are about to die, my views have become clearer and clearer. After all, Chi An belongs to the Shi family and can never inherit the throne."
Long Yi was surprised: "Then does the emperor have any good candidates? Do you want to choose one of several nephews to adopt?"
The emperor shook his head: "I have already decided on the candidate for the new emperor."
"Who?"
"You."
"Me?"
Long Yi couldn't believe it.
The emperor laughed heartily: "I'm telling you, it's not easy to be the emperor. You fought so hard with me back then, and you have hated me for more than thirty years, so I will let you know it too. How hard is it to be an emperor?”
"Brother Emperor." Long Yi cried, "Big brother."
The emperor smiled again: "Of course there is another reason. You have a good son, and that is Long Wenyu. If you don't have a son like him, I don't necessarily have to pass the throne to you."
< br>
Long Yi cried and laughed: "Brother Huang means that my younger brother is worse than a brat like him?"
The emperor smiled and said solemnly: "That's not true. I hope you will temper him."
"The great scenery must be passed down from generation to generation, and every selection of successor to the throne must be strictly considered."
"Wen Yu has profound talents and far-reaching political views, but he is very arrogant in dealing with people and is a thorn in his side."
"I have already polished it, you can continue polishing it."
Long Yi stood up and bowed deeply: "Yes, Brother Huang!"
The emperor waved to him and motioned for him to continue sitting next to him.
Long Yi sat down obediently, held his brother's hand again, and couldn't help but speak again: "If my brother likes Wenyu, just let him be your son. I agree to adopt him to you and let him ascend the throne directly. I am your brother. I’ve been an idle prince for so many years, I’m afraid I won’t be able to be an emperor.”
The emperor withdrew his hand forcefully: "No, you must endure the hardship of being an emperor."
Long Yi held his brother's hand again: "Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat."
"I hope that he can become the first emperor of the ages. Now he is still young and needs experience in many aspects. Besides, it was me who took the throne after all. Now that things have happened, I hope you will no longer bear grudges against me. Do you understand what I mean? Hard work?”
"Brother I understand."
"Okay." The emperor raised his other hand, "Just wait for me to write the edict of succession."
"Yes."
Long Yi responded, tears suddenly falling again. "Remember, don't rush to tell Wen Yu that I have been optimistic about him for a long time. This will be detrimental to his growth."
"Brother Chen has written it down."
Long Yi took the imperial edict, pen and ink, and waited carefully for his brother to write it.
The emperor wrote two words and said: "My mother is over eighty years old. I hope you can treat her kindly and help me be filial to her in the future."
Long Yi assured: "Brother, don't worry, I will be filial to my mother and queen."
The emperor then continued to write.
After finishing the edict of passing the throne, the whole person was exhausted.
Eunuch Song hurriedly came forward: "Your Majesty?"
The emperor opened his eyes slightly and ordered: "Inform all cabinet ministers, prime ministers, and six ministers."
"Yes." Eunuch Song agreed.
The emperor added: "Let Wenyu and his wife come in first. I have something to say to them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Song said yes again with tears in his eyes.
Not long after, Fu Ciyi and Yan Fu entered.
Upon entering the palace bedroom, the couple discovered that something was wrong with the emperor.
"Uncle Emperor."
"Uncle Emperor."
The emperor looked at Fu Ciyi with a smile, then turned to look at Long Yi: "I am leaving. Before that, you should recognize each other as father and son in front of me."
Fu Ciyi looked away.
"This kid is very stubborn." Long Yi shook his head.
The emperor closed his eyes and fell straight back.
Fu Ciyi quickly said: "I recognize him, recognize him."
Hearing this, the emperor weakly opened his eyes: "Good boy."
Fu Ciyi reluctantly called Long Yi: "Father."
"Hmm." Long Yi responded calmly.
The emperor shook his head when he saw it: "I am about to leave, why do you still show your anger to me?"
Long Yi then pretended to be happy and responded, turning to look at Yan Funing.
Yan Funing had no choice but to call out: "Father."
Long Yi responded again.
The emperor was satisfied with this situation.
Outside the palace, Eunuch Song sent many young eunuchs.
Seeing this, all the princes crowded towards the door of the palace.
"What happened to my father?"
"What happened to my father?"
"We are princes and have the right to serve and meet our father."
Eunuch Song said loudly: "Your Highnesses, please be patient. The Emperor is still resting at this moment. It is inappropriate for you to disturb the Emperor by being so noisy."
Long Yaodong squinted his eyes and felt that something was wrong.
It seems that he has to find his biological father and force him to have a baby in time.
At present, he is still the eldest prince and the eldest son. Even if the throne is to be passed on, it should be passed to him.
If the father refuses, the biological father will take action.
If the father had an accident and passed away, it would be natural for him as the eldest son to succeed to the throne.
Then he turned around and wanted to leave...(End of Chapter)
