Liu Zhengyun's condition has not improved at all, and he has spent five or six consecutive days lying in the hospital bed.
Without Liu Zhengyun, the ministers would not be able to attend the morning court.
However, as usual, Bo Yi handles matters such as memorials.
If it were normal, everyone would have complaints in their hearts, but because Liu Zhengyun was here, they didn't dare to say anything more.
But now, Liu Zhengyun's health is so bad. In fact, everyone felt that he might not be able to survive this test.
When Liu Zhengyun was young, he had a prince, but later the prince fell into the water and drowned when he was three years old. Since then, the prince's position has been vacant.
Liu Zhengyun was naturally romantic, but there were not many concubines who gave birth to princes.
And among these princes, even fewer can truly grow up.
Among the nine princes, only three have truly grown up.
One is the second prince, one is the fifth prince, and the other is the seventh prince.
Although Bo Yi usually dealt with memorials, he was more favored by Liu Zhengyun than these three princes.
However, because of his status as a courtier, there were not many people on his team, or even almost none.
After all, there were three other princes, so it was impossible for Bo Yi to take this position.
Now Liu Zhengyun valued him so much that he was so partial to him and put all the power in his hands. But when the new emperor came to the throne, he would be the most dissatisfied. The person who would be the first to operate on him would definitely be Bo Yi.
At that time, Bo Yi's life and death will depend on the new emperor's words?
Moreover, if Bo Yi becomes emperor, it will be even more impossible.
The name is not justified and the words are not justified.
The most important thing is that because of his ruthless and brutal style of only obeying the emperor's orders, no one dares to be with him.
Among the three princes, the fifth prince is the most ascetic. He has been low-key since he was a child, but he is not that low-key on the surface, but the same on the outside. He really has no interest in the throne.
After turning sixteen, the fifth prince left the palace and spent all day traveling around the mountains and rivers. He only came back once or twice throughout the year. If you wanted to look for him, you would never find him.
As for the second prince and the seventh prince, there is an age difference of five years between them.
The second prince is now twenty-five, and the seventh prince has just turned twenty.
Although the seventh prince is younger, in front of Liu Zhengyun, the seventh prince is the most beloved by Liu Zhengyun among the three princes.
The seventh prince's personality tends to be lively and he is very funny. The second prince's character is more gloomy, but the second prince's mother and concubine are stronger than the seventh prince's mother and concubine.
Therefore, the two princes are comparable.
During the period when Liu Zhengyun was ill, the two princes were already feeling a little unbearable. Each regarded the other as their biggest enemy when they ascended the throne, and even disdained to be modest on the surface.
At this time, Bo Yi intervened in the memorial matter as always, which happened to be the trigger for the explosion between the second prince and the seventh prince.
The second prince and the seventh prince each summoned the ministers who stood on their side. All civil and military officials gathered in the Palace of Eternal Life and asked the emperor to establish a prince.
Liu Zhengyun was so groggy during this period that he finally woke up from his coma. However, after hearing Xiao Shunzi say that everyone was kneeling outside and begging him to establish the crown prince, Liu Zhengyun almost fainted again.
"They are so anxious to establish a crown prince! They really want me to die, right?"
Liu Zhengyun roared angrily and swept the medicine bowl on the small table next to him to the ground with a wave of his hand.
With a bang, the medicine bowl broke into countless pieces, and the hot soup spilled all over the floor, still emitting heat.
A palace maid came in quickly to deal with these things.
Liu Zhengyun was breathing heavily, obviously he had done nothing, but he felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
No one knows their body better than themselves.
Liu Zhengyun's expression was gloomy, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes. He said to Xiao Shunzi who was kneeling on the ground: "Go and tell them all to get in, including Bo Yi! Call him over too! Since they want the prince so much , then I will give them a prince!"
When Xiao Shunzi heard Liu Zhengyun's words, his eyebrows jumped, and he responded quickly, then withdrew and told the second prince, seventh prince and others what Liu Zhengyun said outside.
The news that the emperor wanted to establish a prince spread throughout the palace in a short time, as if it had wings.
Not only the ministers, but also the concubines in the harem found an excuse to come.
After Xia Yichu learned about this, he also came to the Palace of Eternal Life.
Liu Zhengyun couldn't get out of bed, so two guards carried him behind the bead curtain.
Sitting behind the bead curtain, Liu Zhengyun could still vaguely see everyone's figures standing outside and the expressions on their faces.
I'm afraid, even if he died, few people would really feel sorry for him.
This idea suddenly appeared in Liu Zhengyun's mind, and then he suppressed it a moment later.
"Xiao Shunzi, declare the decree." Liu Zhengyun said to Xiao Shunzi. Although his voice was still rich, it was not as powerful as before.
"Yes, I obey your order!"
Xiao Shunzi, holding the imperial edict, walked out from behind the bead curtain.
In fact, it is better to say that it is a posthumous edict than an imperial edict.
Everyone looked up at the imperial edict in Xiao Shunzi's hand, their eyes unblinking.
Among them, the second prince and the seventh prince had the most eager eyes. Both of them had a certain tendency to win the throne, and they wanted to know Liu Zhengyun's verdict extremely.
Under everyone's eager gazes, Xiao Shunzi tried his best to stabilize the expression on his face, then opened the imperial edict and began to read according to what was written on it.
Xiao Shunzi grew up with Liu Zhengyun. Liu Zhengyun has been the emperor for as long as he has read the imperial edict. In such an important situation today, although Xiao Shunzi's mood is not calm, the mask he has worn for many years has worn on him. His face felt like it had roots that couldn't be pulled off anymore.
Even though there were waves in his heart when he saw the contents of the imperial edict, Xiao Shunzi looked humble and read the contents of the imperial edict unhurriedly.
The imperial edict began with some other content. Whether it was the second prince or the seventh prince, both of them felt that Xiao Shunzi read very slowly today. Both of them were so anxious that their foreheads were sweating. If it weren't for Liu Zhengyun sitting here , the two of them must have rolled up their sleeves and leaned forward to read the contents of the imperial edict.
"The Ninth Prince Liu Yi has a long-lasting auspicious talisman, a long-awaited and extraordinary appearance, a powerful force in the sky, and a profound wisdom... It is said that the emperor is located in Liu Yi, and the director prepares gifts and awards them according to the time. The ministers and hundreds of officials, Yue Mu and others from all over the world. The senior officials, down to the scholars and the people, should pay tribute to me and express my wishes."
