Chapter 1549: The Chen family will always be loyal subjects of the Great Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty..."

"Do you want to resist the decree?" Emperor Jian Shi stared at Xiao Jincheng.

If the other party dared to have the slightest opposition, he would order the other party to be executed. Absolutely not leave any future trouble.

Xiao Jincheng hurriedly lowered his head: "I obey the decree! However, if I leave the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I fear my power will be limited."

"There are many ways to kill people! I allow you to assassinate!"

Xiao Jincheng gritted his teeth, really wanting to say that the only person in the world who can harm Imperial Consort Jing and her son, and Imperial Consort Gui and her son, is the future new Emperor. He couldn't go and assassinate the new Emperor.

Emperor Jian Shi's request was simply a joke.

Moreover, he also heard that the person inheriting the great unification was not Prince Ning, so it was very likely Prince Duan.

The Emperor finally lost to the ministers in the court, lost to the ancestral rules and systems.

He had done many dirty things that couldn't be seen for the Emperor, so naturally he knew the Emperor's importance to Prince Ning and his dislike for Prince Duan. Although it looked like the Emperor treated all the princes the same on the surface, the difference was huge.

It's just that these differences are very hidden.

If you are not a confidant, you can't detect it at all.

Some things, even Wang Defa doesn't know.

"Your Majesty, if the person targeting Imperial Consort Gui and Imperial Consort Jing and their sons is from the palace, what should I do?" He asked after all.

Emperor Jian Shi sneered coldly: "You don't need to worry, I have arranged for someone to watch him. He doesn't have that courage."

He looked down on Prince Duan in all aspects. If it weren't for the legitimate status, the throne wouldn't have fallen to Prince Duan.

Xiao Jincheng suddenly let out a sigh of relief, that's good!

His pressure was reduced by more than half.

"Retreat, guard the capital for me."

"Yes!"

Xiao Jincheng performed a great ceremony, got up, and retreated.

Wang Defa used the technique taught by Medical Official Mu to soothe Emperor Jian Shi's body.

"Your Majesty, Chen Guanfu has arrived, should I call him in? Or eat something to cushion first."

"I can't eat anything. Give me a pill of Doctor Mu's medicine."

"Your Majesty, Doctor Mu said that the medicine must be taken at least two hours apart."

"Take it! I don't have much time left!"

Wang Defa wiped his tears, took out the medicine bottle, took out a pill, and helped Emperor Jian Shi drink water and swallow it.

After taking the medicine, Emperor Jian Shi had even less appetite, as if he couldn't feel hunger.

He ordered: "Invite Chen Guanfu in."

Today is not the day of the morning court, and Chen Guanfu is not an official in the Political Affairs Hall. Under normal circumstances, he should be handling official business in the yamen at this time.

Before leaving the house in the morning, someone from the palace invited him into the palace.

He realized something had happened.

When he came to Taiji Palace and saw it, he knew the Emperor should be not going to make it. The few people in the Political Affairs Hall were whispering, and the look in their eyes was meaningful.

He looked calm, was invited to the bedroom, and performed the minister's ceremony first. Looking up, the Emperor is going to die! A face of death!

It's only been a few days, how could he be so seriously ill.

In a trance, the Heaven-offering ceremony was yesterday.

Clearly a few days ago, the person was still fine.

"Your Majesty's body, how could it be like this? Why are the imperial physicians not here?" Chen Guanfu took the lead: "Eunuch Wang, how are you serving His Majesty?"

"Minister Chen, I don't have much time left." Emperor Jian Shi felt okay, his spirit was good, and he could still receive ministers.

He didn't know that his appearance in Chen Guanfu's eyes was just the last breath. The whole person was in a dying state, his face was gray, his cheeks were abnormally flushed, and there was a feeling of being unable to breathe and suffocating to a flush. The voice was very low, and it was not clear if he didn't listen carefully.

Chen Guanfu took a deep breath: "Please Your Majesty give instructions!"

"Minister Chen, after I pass away, please be sure to let Marquis Pingjiang return to the capital, he cannot continue to stay in the northwest. My meaning, do you understand?"

"This official understands!" Chen Guanfu said softly.

"I have already left a last will, Prince Duan will inherit the great unification. Establish another edict, order Xie Changling, Xu... four people to assist in the government..."

Emperor Jian Shi issued seven or eight last wills in one breath.

There were edicts for Imperial Consort Jing and her son, edicts for Imperial Consort Gui and her son, and edicts for Marquis Pingjiang. 【15

"You are very surprised?" Emperor Jian Shi could not understand or figure it out for a moment.

Chen Guanfu frowned, "Prince Duan has mediocre aptitude and is unfit for a great task!"

Emperor Jian Shi was momentarily dazed, then suddenly realized, and finally laughed out loud. Then came a long bout of coughing.

"I never expected, cough cough... that the person opposing Prince Duan would be you. You, your Chen family... Chen Guanfu, do you believe that I will issue an edict right now to exterminate your entire Chen family!"

Chen Guanfu's state suddenly changed.

One second he was a loyal and devoted subject, the next he became presumptuous and casual.

Clearly, he had done nothing and was still sitting upright on a round stool, yet everyone present could feel the casual relaxation in his attitude.

"Your Majesty, letting Prince Duan inherit the throne is excellent! The things you worry about will not happen, and the Chen family will always be loyal subjects of the Great Gan Dynasty!"

"Can I believe you?"

"If you don't believe me, what else can you do!" Chen Guanfu gave a soft laugh, "In any case, the Imperial Grandson has the blood of the Chen family flowing in his veins. The Chen family does not do things that involve kin killing kin."

Emperor Jian Shi stared fixedly at the other party, "Your father will return to the capital, right?"

"I cannot guarantee that. As for my father, it is not my place to make the decision. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will be a loyal subject to the new Emperor!"

"That is very good! I hope you do what you say!"

"If Your Majesty has no other instructions, this subject will take his leave."

Emperor Jian Shi waved his hand, allowing him to withdraw.

Chen Guanfu bowed slightly, then straightened his back and left.

Wang De was filled with worry, "Your Majesty, can the Chen family be trusted?"

"Of course they cannot be trusted! But Prince Duan's wife and the Imperial Grandson can restrain the Chen family to a certain extent. Marquis Pingjiang is old; how many more years can he live?"

Emperor Jian Shi began to laugh, his expression somewhat smug.

"Does Your Majesty hope that the Imperial Grandson can inherit the throne after he grows up?"

"Of course I hope so! The only person who can eradicate the Chen family is my Imperial Grandson."

Emperor Jian Shi laughed happily, as if he saw the scene twenty or thirty years later, saw the scene of the entire Chen family being slaughtered. He saw the scene of the Chen family's grandson personally slaughtering the Chen family.

How beautiful!

"Your Majesty, do you still want to see Chen Guanlou?"

"Summon him in!"

"Does Your Majesty want to rest for a moment first?"

"Wang De, I don't have much time left, it could happen at any moment, I cannot waste time. If I haven't arranged everything, I will die with my eyes open."

"Why does Your Majesty not summon Eunuch Wei?"

"Eunuch Wei is only loyal to imperial power; whoever is the Emperor, he is loyal to them. He does not serve only me!"

What Emperor Jian Shi did not say was that he was dying, and Wei Wubing was no longer under his control.

Wei Wubing and Zhou Mobai would take orders from the new Emperor.

This is the inheritance of the royal family.

Back then, the reason Wei Wubing kept him safe was because the man surnamed Wei owed the Empress Dowager a favor. Otherwise, the man surnamed Wei would have watched him die.

This group of martial artists are cold-hearted and ruthless. They only have the martial path in their eyes, only cultivation, and the oath they made: to be loyal to imperial power for life. As for who the Emperor is, whether they live or die, they don't care at all.
