In February, Emperor Zhengde issued several imperial edicts in succession.

The first thing is to confer the title of King Yan as the crown prince.

The second step is that Wu Yinghou Xiao Zhen was restored to his post.

The third way is to marry the daughter of Wu Yinghou, who married the crown prince as the crown prince's concubine, and married in August.

The fourth way was to order King Duan to take the vassal of Huizhou and King Ying to take the vassal of Yunnan. The two kings were not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

As soon as the imperial edict was released, the capital was like a change of heaven, and it was lively for a long time. King Duan received the imperial edict and went to Huizhou to say goodbye to his father. King Ying refused to do it, and he was not convinced that his father sent him to such a distance and would rather resist the imperial edict than leave. Resisting the edict was a serious crime, but his own son, Emperor Zhengde could not kill his son. Thinking of the military achievements made by King Ying, Emperor Zhengde took the initiative to take a step back and let the King Ying vassalize Shandong.

The King of England then reluctantly left the capital.

The vassal king left the capital and the crown prince had already decided. After the people talked about the major events, they began to pay attention to the marriage of the new crown prince.

Xiao Zhen felt very frustrated in the Marquis of Wuying. What does the emperor mean? When he offended King Ying, the emperor dismissed his official position unreasonably. Now the emperor wants to call his daughter a daughter-in-law, and then he restored his official position? Could it be that Xiao Zhen is the one who sells his daughter for honor? Aman is willing to marry, but Xiao Zhen cannot persuade his daughter, but he refuses to restore his position to the position!

Wu Yinghou, who was like a stubborn donkey, resisted the order without changing his expression!

After Emperor Zhengde learned about it, he said nothing and went with Xiao Zhen. Instead, Huo Weizhang came and scolded Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen refused to listen. Anyway, he was used to being idle at home. Today he taught his two sons martial arts. He would walk around the garden with his grandson tomorrow, and accompany Su Jin to the suburbs to see the pig house. His life was very good.

Su Jin's attitude was different. Last year, when Aman said that she was willing to marry Zhou Yuanfang, Su Jin had been convinced by her daughter and was only worried about Zhou Yuanfang's future. Now Zhou Yuanfang has become the crown prince, and his status is stable, and Su Jin has no worries anymore. Su Jin has always been a person who wants to live a good life and likes wealth and prosperity. His daughter has become the prospective crown princess. Su Jin went outside to visit and his waist was even more straight.

Didn’t those noble ladies always laugh at her for having three men and still look down on her two children? Now her son has become the prince’s most trusted and trustworthy confidant, her daughter has become the prince’s concubine, and the brother and sister are more and more successful. Su Jin is proud of it. In addition, she has a tall and mighty husband, and Su Jin believes that no woman in the capital is more comfortable than her.

The prospective Crown Princess Aman had only expectations for getting married. While learning how to be a Crown Princess with the nanny in the palace, he secretly looked forward to the marriage after marriage.

Aman was quite leisurely. The prince Zhou Yuanfang, who had already settled in the Eastern Palace, was very busy. Emperor Zhengde appointed three great scholars to serve as the prince's grand tutor, the prince's tutor, and the prince's grand guarantor. Zhou Yuanfang had to stay with Emperor Zhengde to observe politics, and half had to obey the teachings of the three great scholars. He was so busy that he had a little time to think of the little girl he was thinking about at night.

As summer comes, the weather gets hot day by day, and the heat causes Emperor Zhengde to relapse.

Emperor Zhengde has always had headaches. He had fewer attacks when he was young. The older he was, the more things he had, the more headaches he had. Emperor Zhengde suffered more and more headaches. At the end of last year, he was seriously injured when he fought with the Huns. Emperor Zhengde was greatly damaged, and his life span was reduced for many years. When his health was damaged, the old problem of this disease became even worse and he knocked down Emperor Zhengde in an instant.

Emperor Zhengde could not let go of the country, and he had to deal with major matters himself in bed. By July, Emperor Zhengde finally lost his strength to read the memorials. The imperial physicians took the imperial veins for the emperor, and of course they had to pick up auspicious words in front of Emperor Zhengde. When they left the inner hall and replied to the prince, the imperial physicians shook their heads.

The nineteen-year-old Zhou Yuanfang suddenly had a blank mind.

He has been resentful since childhood and has grown up. He has only truly understood this year. He has to leave him like his mother?

Emperor Zhengde woke up slowly and saw the red eyes of the legitimate son.

"How old is, I still cry." Emperor Zhengde smiled weakly.

Zhou Yuanfang could have held back his tears, but when his father said this, two lines of clear tears immediately rolled down his face.

Emperor Zhengde knew that he was going to be unable to do so, he moved his fingers and signaled his son to bring his hands over. When Zhou Yuanfang saw it, he quickly moved to the bed, and moved his knees to the bed board and could no longer approach it. He held his father's hand with both hands, tears more and more, and his voice choked: "Father, don't leave your son's servant."

Emperor Zhengde looked at the legitimate son who was crying like a child and said helplessly: "Who do you follow with your temper? I and your mother don't like to cry."

Zhou Yuanfang's tears fell in a bunch of tears.

Emperor Zhengde sighed and said with relief: "After his father came to Peiping, he has been observing you secretly. Yuan Fang doesn't need to panic. You did a good job. The father believes that you will be a good emperor." He made the legitimate son the crown prince partly because of his feelings for the queen, but if his son had not grown up, Emperor Zhengde would not have made such a decision.

Time is limited, Emperor Zhengde ordered people to pass on Shen Fu and Xiao Zhen.

Zhou Yuanfang's tears paused.

Emperor Zhengde noticed it, he took a moment and mentioned his son: "Yuan Fang, if a monarch wants to govern the country well, he must know and use it well. As long as his ministers have great talents and can serve the court, the monarch must use him, and should not be influenced by his own likes and dislikes and act arbitrarily. Shen Fu has the talent to govern the country. After his father leaves, you must continue to use him and not neglect him."

Zhou Yuanfang nodded with red eyes: "Okay, my son promised my father."

Emperor Zhengde thought about it and said, "You like Aman, your father will make the decision for you, but in the future you will not favor her alone. You must accept concubines and give birth to more princes."

Zhou Yuanfang pursed his lips. Just as Emperor Zhengde frowned, Zhou Yuanfang raised his head and said firmly: "Father, son minister has always envied Ache, envied their brothers for having the same mother, envied their brothers for being close to each other. Father, son minister..."

"Women's opinion!" Emperor Zhengde interrupted his son coldly, and then started coughing violently.

Zhou Yuanfang hurriedly put his chest on the chest. Facing his father's disappointed eyes, Zhou Yuanfang felt sad and finally told the secret that had been hidden for many years: "Father, do you know that before the mother died, she had never mentioned you once?"

Emperor Zhengde's expression suddenly became dull.

Zhou Yuanfang burst into tears: "Father, my son is unfilial, but I don't think that after decades, Aman has no nostalgia for me."

Emperor Zhengde didn't hear what his son said clearly, his mind was full of the shadow of the queen.

Does he love the queen?

Love, Emperor Zhengde has favored many women, but those women only give him beauty and body, but the queen is truly worthy of him. The queen's wisdom, the queen's courage, the queen's tolerance and generosity, marrying the queen was one of the prides of Emperor Zhengde's life. But he never thought about his position in the queen's heart. He thought that the queen was virtuous and kind, so he was not jealous. Now Emperor Zhengde suddenly realized that the queen was not not jealous, but not love.

"Emperor, Marquis Wu Ying, Lord Shen is here."

The eunuch's voice came from outside the door. Emperor Zhengde came back to his senses and looked at his son. He closed his eyes and waved his hand and said, "You retreat to the side first."

Zhou Yuanfang stood in a distant mood in a complicated mood.

Xiao Zhen, Chen Fu walked in one after another, and knelt side by side in front of the dragon couch.

Emperor Zhengde heard the sound and opened his eyes.

"Emperor, I am guilty." Xiao Zhen said anxiously, hating that he should not be angry with the emperor. He had been in harmony with the emperor for more than ten years. At this time, facing the aging and weakness of Emperor Zhengde, Xiao Zhen felt uncomfortable.

Emperor Zhengde looked at him with a smile, and after a while, he said, "In a blink of an eye, you are forty, but your temper has never changed. I can bear you."

Xiao Zhen felt more and more guilty: "I will never forget the emperor's kindness."

Emperor Zhengde smiled: "Stop talking, I asked you to come because I want to give you an important task."

Xiao Zhen immediately said, "Your Majesty, you said, I will do whatever you want to go through fire and water."

Emperor Zhengde nodded and stared at Xiao Zhen's eyes and said, "The Huns are ambitious. After I die, they will definitely invade the territory again. Among the generals, I trust you the most. I will leave it to you to guard the northern border of the Great Zhou!"

Xiao Zhen immediately felt a lot of heroic spirit in his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will not be able to violate my Great Zhou for one day!"

After receiving his promise, Emperor Zhengde looked at Chen Fu.

In terms of getting along, the chief minister Chen Fu has been with Emperor Zhengde for a longer time, and the monarch and ministers have already reached the state of spiritual communication.

"The emperor rests with peace of mind. I will assist the prince in handling all matters in the court." Chen Fu took the initiative.

Emperor Zhengde smiled extremely happily: "I have always been relieved to do things in Yunting. I just hope that you and Xiao Zhen will not be bothered and assist the prince together."

Chen Fu turned to Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen hummed, but said, "The emperor is worried too much. I have no grudges and no grudges to bother with Lord Shen, and there is no past grudge to worry about."

Xiao Zhen was contemptuous, jealous and dissatisfied with Chen Fu, but for so many years he was an official in the same dynasty, Xiao Zhen realized that Chen Fu was a good official and had not targeted him, nor did he try to recognize Archer. Therefore, unless Chen Fu had a bad intention in the future, Xiao Zhen would not take the initiative to become enemies with Chen Fu.

Chen Fu also promised Emperor Zhengde: "I am willing to follow the example of the generals and ministers and work together with the marquis to assist the prince."

Emperor Zhengde was satisfied and waved to his son in the distance: "Yuan Fang is still here, thank you two lords? From now on, there will be wars in the state. You should discuss with Marquis Wu Ying. If there is any dispute in the court, please ask Chen Qing for advice."

Every word of the father's emperor was all last words. Zhou Yuanfang came over with tears, turned his back to the dragon couch, and thanked Xiao Zhen and Chen Fu.

Chen Fu reached out to help the prince, his eyes swept across the dragon couch accidentally, but saw Emperor Zhengde's eyes dissipated, like the setting sun, and there was no hope for life in a blink of an eye.

Chen Fu's hand shook.

Zhou Yuanfang looked at him and turned around suddenly.

Emperor Zhengde lay motionless, looking at the top of the bed, as if he had seen something.

"Father!" Zhou Yuanfang cried out in tears.

However, his father would never speak again and laughed at him as childish.

The third emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty died.

Zhou Yuanfang pounced on Emperor Zhengde, crying so hard that he was out of breath. Behind him, Xiao Zhen clenched his fists and Chen Fu's eyes closed.

Emperor Zhengde has gone and they are old. This country is about to be the world of a new generation.

Three days later, Crown Prince Zhou Yuanfang officially ascended the throne and became emperor.
