Fortunate Young Gentleman
Chapter 882 Checks and Balances [Second Update]
"My time is running out." In the Yangshen Temple, Chen Huang leaned on his chair and was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I dare to take your majesty's pulse."
Chen Huang slowly stretched out his hand, with a hint of hope deep in his eyes. Although Tang Ning was not an imperial physician, he was able to cure Concubine Shu and repeatedly solve difficult illnesses that even an imperial physician could not solve. If there was still a possibility of survival, who would give up hope of living?
Ordinary people are like this, not to mention that he is the emperor and Chen Guo is powerful. Why doesn't he want to see more of these great rivers and mountains?
When Tang Ning put her fingers on Chen Huang's wrist, she knew that Chen Huang was exhausted.
His pulse was very weak and could not even be felt without checking carefully. Tang Ning had only learned some medical skills. He might be better than ordinary doctors, but he was still far from being comparable to the imperial doctors. He just had more knowledge than the imperial doctors, and he did not have the ability to rejuvenate or revive the dead.
Tang Ning withdrew her hand from Chen Huang's wrist without saying anything. The glimmer of hope in Chen Huang's eyes was quickly extinguished.
Emperor Chen asked: "Has my time limit come?"
Tang Ning did not answer, and Chen Huang did not ask further questions. He just lowered his head and said, "Everyone will die. I thought I had been prepared for it, but only then did I realize that I can never be prepared for this kind of thing. "
Tang Ning said: "Your Majesty must follow the imperial physician's orders and may be able to continue for some time."
Chen Huang struggled to wave his hand and said: "It's just a matter of hanging on, what's the use of continuing for a few days..."
After saying these words, he seemed to be a little tired. After a while, he said: "Although I am going to die, the country cannot be without a king for a day. I have already established an edict and am preparing to appoint King Duan as the crown prince to replace me." "Government, what do you think?"
Tang Ning cupped her hands and said, "It is not easy to criticize the matter of establishing a crown prince as a foreign minister."
"What's not to criticize..." Chen Huang twitched his lips and said, "I know, you must think that I am a foolish king."
"I didn't..."
"I know you have."
…
In fact, Tang Ning did, but she was still a little embarrassed to be exposed by Emperor Chen in front of her, so she had no choice but to keep silent.
Chen Huang did not continue this topic and spoke again: "Actually, half a year ago, when King Kang was zaofan, I saw King Duan's performance on the altar. I was completely disappointed with him and decided to pass the throne to Yuan'er. As long as Give me another five years, and I will be able to completely stabilize Chen's domestic and foreign affairs, and give him a peaceful and prosperous age..."
He was silent for a long time, and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that God is not willing to give me even five years."
"Yuan'er is still too young to handle the affairs of the court, and he cannot suppress the officials in the court. If someone holds him hostage to hold the government hostage, it will be a disaster for Chen Guo and the court... The most important thing is that Yuan'er Although Er is filial, he does not have the talents of an emperor, nor does he have the heart of an emperor. Although Prince Duan is not a good prince, nor a good person, he is more suitable to be emperor than Yuan'er. "
Tang Ning thought that Emperor Chen was terminally ill and unconscious, so she made the foolish decision to pass the throne to Prince Duan.
Unexpectedly, although he was about to die of illness, his thinking was clearer than anyone else.
Although Zhao Yuan wanted to be the emperor, his motives were impure. Being the emperor was just a process to achieve his dream of a harem, not a goal.
Three years old is considered old, and seven years old is considered old. Zhao Yuan's character has already been formed. If there are no major changes in the future, his character will not change much.
Tang Ning was Zhao Yuan's husband and his biggest helper on the road to seizing the throne, but he asked himself, and he didn't think Zhao Yuan could govern a country well.
The most likely possibility is that after Zhao Yuan succeeds to the throne, Concubine Fang Shu and the Fang family will control the government. This kind of control, even if it is not a control that can cover up the sky and bring disaster to the government, is certainly not what Emperor Chen wants to see.
Compared with King Run, the Tang family has declined after King Duan's death. Regarding him, Emperor Chen did not have the same concerns as King Run.
Although Tang Ning is not the emperor, he can understand Chen Huang's mood and understand his thoughts.
Precisely because he is not an emperor or a member of the royal family, he has to stand on his own side. His side is that King Duan can never sit in that supreme position.
Tang Ning didn't ask Chen Huang why he didn't choose Prince Huai. He already knew the inside story of what happened back then and knew that this was a very stupid question.
"I have no choice." Chen Huang looked at him and said: "I know that you and the Tang family have a life-and-death feud, but the Tang family has fallen into such a situation, and the hatred in your heart should have been extinguished... , Prince Duan has no deep grudge against you. I will call him into the palace and let him put down his hostility towards you. I hope you can also ignore the past grudges and assist him well..."
A wry smile appeared on Tangning's face at the right time and she said, "I'm afraid His Highness Prince Duan will not agree. A few days ago, he wanted to kill my father-in-law..."
Emperor Chen coughed and said: "I will give you a dragon whip to beat the emperor unconscious and the ministers who are sycophants. If you see the emperor, you will not be polite. If you see the whip, it will be like seeing me!"
Beating the Dragon Whip is a legendary thing, at least it has not appeared in the Chen State. However, the imperial power is the greatest in the Chen State. It is said that it can beat the emperor unconscious and the ministers, but if the emperor is willing to go all out, he does not care whether he will be violated. The late emperor's legacy and infamy lasted for thousands of years. This dragon-beating whip is just a pile of scrap metal.
Based on Tang Ning's understanding of King Duan, he doesn't seem like someone who follows rules.
Tang Ning knew what Emperor Chen meant. Although he passed the throne to Prince Duan, he was still worried that the world he had managed with great difficulty would be defeated by Prince Duan.
He wanted to use Tang Ning to contain Prince Duan, and at the same time, he also wanted to use Prince Duan to contain Tang Ning.
Even if Tang Ning was powerful, he was still a minister after all, and a minister was a minister. He could not do anything to the emperor. Although Prince Duan was the emperor, Tang Ning had the dragon whip entrusted by the previous emperor, so he did not dare to attack Tang Ning easily.
Tang Ning glanced at Emperor Chen and sighed in his heart. He never forgot to use the art of checks and balances that he was best at until his death.
Tang Ning bowed and said, "I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust."
Emperor Chen waved his hand, and two eunuchs came forward and helped him up. Emperor Chen closed his eyes and said, "I am tired, you go down..."
Tang Ning bowed and said, "I will take my leave."
Two eunuchs helped Emperor Chen to bed to rest. Tang Ning and Wei Jian left the hall and closed the door. Wei Jian bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Lord Tang, for speaking for us when Concubine Tang Hui was here just now..."
Tang Ning smiled and said, "General Manager Wei is too polite. We are all friends. General Manager Wei has also spoken for me in front of your majesty..."
Tang Ning said goodbye to Wei Jian and walked down the steps in front of the hall. Wei Jian's voice came from behind again.
"Lord Tang can do whatever he wants outside the palace. This palace is not a place where Concubine Hui can make decisions."
Tang Ning paused, a smile appeared on his face, and he did not respond. He strode out of the palace.
He never forgot that the old eunuch who followed Emperor Chen was not only the chief eunuch who commanded the eunuchs and maids in the palace, but also the biggest informant of Emperor Chen and the head of the Secret Service.
The head of the largest intelligence agency in the Chen Kingdom, even if he was servile to everyone, was not as simple as he seemed.
