Chapter 1012 Give You a Ride

Twelve years later, Lianyi met General Meng again. He was really old, his hair had turned gray, but because of years of martial arts practice, his body was still straight, his eyes were bright, and his voice was loud.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to the Queen!"

"Father, please get up. There is no need to do this to your daughter."

Lianyi stepped forward directly, personally helped General Meng up, and said with a smile.

"The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Although General Meng stood up, he was polite and courteous.

"Did father bring his brothers with him this time?"

"The old minister only brought Guangshen, Guangdong is still in the border town."

"This time my father has won the battle, and the Emperor is very happy. However, my daughter is worried about your health and has told the Emperor that you are ready to remove your armor and return to the fields. You should leave the war to the young people!"

"What the Queen said is true, and the old minister also has this intention."

General Meng looked at the beautiful and charming woman in front of him and sighed in his heart. He could also understand the resentment of his old wife, but he knew very well that his daughter could not do this.

"Father has been working hard all the way. Let's go back and rest first. After His Majesty has finished rewarding the meritorious officials this time, you and I, father and daughter, will get together again."

"good!"

General Meng was taken to the yard that had been tidied up long ago, while Meng Guangshen was waiting for his father.

"Father, is everything okay, little sister?"

Meng Guangshen asked.

"Everything is fine. I look better than when I was at home. This is the imperial city that supports people."

"This is natural. The imperial city has a good climate and there is no shortage of precious medicinal materials. My little sister's body is well maintained and her complexion will naturally be good."

Meng Guang said with a deep smile.

"I have to go to the palace tomorrow to receive the reward and thank you, so go to bed early!"

"Yes, father!"

On the second day, all the officials gathered together, and the emperor was in a good mood. He asked Quanfu to read out the imperial edict and rewarded a number of meritorious officials. This time everyone was happy, because this time it was not just the generals of the Meng family army who were rewarded, but also those with other surnames. Generals are not considered to be the only ones in the family.

After everyone received the reward, Meng An stood up and submitted his resignation. This move surprised the courtiers. Only the emperor knew it well. This was the Meng family showing weakness to him, and he was in a better mood.

"General Meng, this great victory is all due to your good command. The Qianglang tribe signed the surrender letter. You are still going strong, how can you be old?"

"Thank you for your majesty's trust in me. It's just that due to this war, my old illness has relapsed, and my body is in unbearable pain. I can't bear it anymore."

General Meng said helplessly.

"I am not allowed to do this. We will discuss it later."

The emperor revealed the matter with a wave of his hand.

Although the emperor did not give a clear answer, everyone in the court knew that General Meng's proposal to retire would definitely be approved. Even if the emperor was just making a show of it, he would have to retain it, otherwise he would have just won the battle to guard the border for you. You Just crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is not the behavior of a wise king no matter how you look at it.

Lianyi naturally received the news immediately, and just nodded slightly. The Meng family had dispelled the emperor's concerns, and it was easier for her to take action.

Sure enough, two days after the celebratory palace banquet was held, the emperor finally "helplessly" approved General Meng's petition, and made General Meng the Marquis of Yongding. He also gave General Meng a five-in-one house for him to occupy. Families from the border areas were all brought to the imperial city to take care of themselves.

Lianyi just sneered after hearing this. The emperor was detaining the families of the border generals and their families in the imperial city in disguise, so that the senior generals guarding the border would not dare to do anything against the emperor's orders. After all, the whole family was in the hands of the emperor. .

Lianyi greeted the emperor with a smile, thanked him for his kindness, and said that his family was very grateful to the emperor for his help. He had already sent people to deliver a message to the border, and the family members who stayed there would come to settle in the imperial city as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing me to see my family from time to time. I haven't met many of my nephews and nieces yet!"

The smile on Lianyi's face could not be concealed, and she served the emperor diligently.

The emperor was also very satisfied with Lianyi's attitude. He took back his military power and weakened the Meng family's power. Lianyi wanted to thank him, and now he could really rest easy.

"You are my queen. You have given birth to children and taken care of the harem for me, and you are separated from your family all the year round. How can I bear it? Besides, General Meng's health is indeed not as good as before. You must take good care of yourself. Tomorrow you will go to the imperial doctor to treat the old man." The general checks your pulse."

The emperor immediately presented a sweet date.

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

Lianyi agreed with a smile and personally brought the soup bowl to the emperor.

When Mrs. Meng at the border received the news from her father, her face finally lit up with joy. She immediately summoned the housekeeper and started packing her luggage. She wanted to take her grandchildren into the imperial city immediately.

Only this time when Mrs. Meng was halfway there, news came that the emperor was ill.

At this time in the imperial city, the courtiers were also a little worried. However, although the emperor looked bad, he could still go to court. The situation was not at its worst.

Only Quan Fu knew that whenever he went to court, the emperor would be carried to the royal study, and his papers would be read with the help of the queen, but he had to help hide it because he knew very well that if the emperor was gone, Then the only one he can rely on is the empress, and only the eldest prince can inherit the throne.

The new president of the Imperial Hospital is Quan Imperial Physician. He diagnoses the emperor's pulse every day and uses all kinds of martial arts skills. However, the emperor's body is still slowly weakening and cannot be reversed at all.

After hearing the diagnosis results from the hospital, Lianyi sighed and said:

"The whole hospital is doing its best to do its best to obey the destiny. The emperor's illness is not something that happened in the past two days. It must be caused by excessive wear and tear due to worrying about government affairs.

In fact, I don’t need to tell you, but you should also know that the emperor had health problems as early as when he lost his fertility, but the emperor did not pay attention to it at that time. "

"It's my fault that I'm not good at learning."

The whole court could only accuse him. The Queen had already finished her words, what else could he say.

When the emperor could not even attend the morning court, all the courtiers knew that the emperor's time had come.

Lianyi had no intention of hiding it from the courtiers. The next day, she brought the emperor's imperial edict on passing the throne and the eldest prince to meet with the courtiers, read out the edict, and allowed courtiers of third rank and above to visit the palace.

The emperor was in a coma for two days. When he woke up again, he learned that he had only a few days to live. He instantly withered. Looking at the crying queen with red and swollen eyes and three children with sad faces, he could only do his best. I can choose the assistant ministers well and hope to pass the throne to my eldest son smoothly.

Lianyi stayed by the emperor's side all night, trying his best to express his sadness:

"Your Majesty, how could you leave me and my three children behind? Without your protection, do you know how difficult it will be for the children in the future? I'm afraid! I'm afraid that I won't be able to keep the children! I just want to Go with the emperor!"

Ripple said with tears.

"Don't cry. If you come with me, whoever is going to protect the children, you have to protect the children for me and the country of this Great Holy Dynasty."

"His Majesty."

Ripple nodded with tears streaming down her face, and finally cried loudly after watching the other person take his last breath.

In the 345th year of the Great Sage's reign, the sixth emperor, Emperor Qingxiang, passed away.

See you tomorrow~~
