Chapter 251 Who is the Emperor (3)

I heard Empress Dowager Li smile and said, "My son is very weak in physique. I was frightened by the rioters entering the city these two days, and he even had a high fever. With such a physique, how can he be competent for the throne?"

"But my mother, I'm very healthy. How can I deceive the ministers?" Liu Chengxun asked in confusion.

Empress Dowager Li smiled coldly, "Don't worry, the Ai family has their own way. Come and help Chengxun go outside for half an hour, and use the newly dug well water to help him take a shower."

"No mother, don't," Liu Chengxun shouted in horror and retreated repeatedly.

Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Your son only needs to endure for a moment. As long as you are seriously ill, even if Guo Wei wants to choose you to inherit the throne, he will be rejected by most ministers. Among the remaining candidates, only Guo Wei can only choose Liu Yun with his nose.

If Liu Yun could ascend the throne and become emperor, he would definitely fight with Guo Wei with the help of his father Liu Chong and the Ai family. The Ai family would avenge your second brother; if Liu Yun was killed by Guo Wei, then Guo Wei would completely break up with Liu Chong, Liu Chong was strong, and Guo Wei would have to fight with Liu Chong even in order to save his life. In this way, he would avenge your second brother.

Therefore, as long as you lose the qualification to inherit the throne, you can temporarily save your life; and as long as Liu Yun becomes the heir to the throne, Guo Wei will be in a state of great anxiety and will pay the price for my son's death."

Only then did Liu Chengxun realize that his mother, Empress Dowager Li, had her hands tightly, and the blood vessels on her head were exposed very clearly. He sighed and his mother's paranoid problem broke out again. No wonder her second brother has a history of epilepsy, and her mother sometimes has some abnormalities.

He was thinking about it all, and suddenly heard a sound of a sudden, a basin of cold well water poured onto his head. Liu Chengxun jumped up from the ground and lowered his head to drill into the room, but was dragged back by several healthy women beside him. Then another basin of cold water went down. Liu Chengxun sneezes and missed the brazier in his room very much. Then he was thrown into the house, and he rushed to the brazier, and his body had just been warmed up. Poor Liu Chengxun screamed and burst into tears...

Besides, Guo Wei and all the adults retreated into the court and chose to choose the heir. Guo Wei deliberately coughed and shouted to everyone: "Gaozu (Liu Zhiyuan) has three sons, and currently only Liu Chengxun is alive and serves as the prefect of Kaifeng. When Emperor Gaozu chose the heir, he appointed the eldest prince Liu Chengxun as the prefect of Kaifeng as the crown prince of my great Han Dynasty. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he appointed the emperor's brother Liu Chengxun as the crown prince of this position, which clearly means to use him as the crown prince. Now the throne is vacant, I think Liu Chengxun is most qualified to hold this position. I wonder what everyone thinks?"

Everyone nodded, and some even shouted loudly: "This is a difficult truth, we all agree with it."

Guo Wei looked around and saw that no one raised objections, so he shouted: "Since everyone agrees with my advice, let's go to the palace together and report to the Queen Mother."

Everyone obeyed, so they followed Guo Wei from Mingde Gate to enter the palace, went to Wansui Palace, and paid homage to Empress Dowager Li.

At this time, Empress Dowager Li had just returned to the palace. She combed her hair a little and then summoned the ministers. Guo Wei saw that Empress Dowager Li was blushing, but he didn't know that she was rushing back to the palace. He thought it was reflected by the brazier at the corner of the room, so he didn't care. Guo Wei took a step forward and explained the situation to Empress Dowager Li, asking Liu Chengxun to be the heir.

Empress Dowager Li nodded as she listened, as if she agreed very much. But after Guo Wei finished speaking, Empress Dowager Li sighed and said in a sarcastic voice: "What I said is very reasonable. In theory, Chengxun should be established in sequence, which is legitimate. However, he has always been in poor health. Although he has served as the prefect of Kaifeng, he cannot take matters for a long time. All political affairs are entrusted to Liu Zhu and others. Now my son often has nightmares, is frightened and afraid, and can't even get up. What can he do?"

Guo Wei felt that this was an excuse from Empress Dowager Li, but he could not blame him openly. At this time, Dong Zunhui asked loudly in the back row: "I wonder if I can carry the third prince out for us to see, and I know some medical skills."

Guo Wei nodded slightly, and his own people were still reliable at the critical moment. Empress Dowager Li glared at Dong Zunhui, but nodded and said, "Chunhua, Qiutang, carry the third prince out and let everyone help with the diagnosis and treatment."

Hearing the orders of Empress Dowager Li, Chunhua and Qiutang immediately stepped back into the curtain and soon carried a soft couch out. Liu Chengyou's face was flushed and his breathing was rapid. Guo Wei stumbled on his head, which was so hot that it was scary.

Dong Zunhui also squeezed into the front row and looked up. For some reason, Dong Zunhui suddenly remembered that he had watched CCTV TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty". The fourth son Yinzhen just wanted to avoid errands and found a way to make himself have a high fever. This method was to take a bath in winter with cold water, warm the brazier, and heat and hot.

Guo Wei asked softly: "Daoan, how are these third princes in their condition?"

Everyone around also looked at Dong Zunhui and waited for his answer. Dong Zunhui said with a wry smile: "I only know some folk remedies and cannot cure serious illnesses. I see the third prince like this. As long as he no longer takes a bath with cold water and does not continue to heat up with a brazier, he will eventually recover in the future. However, in the short term, he will not be able to ascend to the throne."

After hearing Dong Zunhui's words, Empress Dowager Li looked at Dong Zunhui in surprise and clenched her hands nervously. However, the ministers in the distance did not hear Dong Zunhui's words and opposed Liu Chengxun's ascension to the throne. Guo Wei pondered for a moment and asked Wang Jun: "What should we do now?"

Wang Jun sighed, "The country cannot be without a king for a day. It seems that he can only welcome the governor of Xuzhou (Liu Yun)."

Guo Wei did not immediately speak up. There are pros and cons of making Liu Yun the emperor, and he had to think about it repeatedly. Seeing that the ministers were a little moved, Guo Wei immediately said: "The third prince is in a serious condition, so don't disturb him. Let's go to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss it before talking."

Everyone agreed, so under the cold gaze of Empress Dowager Li, they left the palace together and went to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss. At this time, everyone expressed their opinions that Liu Chong and others were too old, so it would be better to choose Liu Yun ascend the throne for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that everyone insisted on doing this, Guo Wei did not stop him. He just said to everyone: "It's getting late. We have just entered the palace twice, which is really a disturbance to the Queen Mother. Besides, the palace is full of women, so it is not convenient for us to enter. Otherwise, we will write a memorial and order people to send it to the palace."

Everyone agreed, and even Wang Jun and others agreed. Someone shouted loudly: "What the Shizhong said is so true, so I also asked the Shizhong to order the civil servant to write the memorial."

Guo Wei nodded in agreement, so he made an appointment to send a memorial tomorrow morning, and everyone left. Guo Wei also returned to the mansion under Dong Zunhui's escort. Guo Wei immediately recruited a civil servant and ordered them to write the memorial, but after the draft was finished, Guo Wei was very dissatisfied and ordered them to make rectifications immediately. Three consecutive changes were made, but Guo Wei was still dissatisfied, but because it was too late, he could only give in.

Seeing that Guo Wei was not asleep for a long time, Dong Zunhui signed up for a meeting and soon met Guo Wei. Dong Zunhui bowed to Guo Wei and whispered: "Today, Liu Chengxun was definitely using tricks, and the cold and heat were alternating, so he caught a severe cold and had a fever."

Guo Wei nodded slightly, "When I heard Daoan say that, I felt something strange. He Fujin had seen Liu Chengxun from afar yesterday, saying that he was playing with the palace maids in the courtyard, full of energy, but now he said that this is useless. It seems that the empress dowager was interfering and insisted on letting Liu Yun ascend the throne and become emperor and fight with me."

Dong Zunhui nodded repeatedly, "The master is saying very much, but why should the master worry? How can Liu Yun be the master's opponent? If he gets the news and comes to Kaifeng Prefecture to ascend the throne and become emperor, he will be ecstatic and will not carry too many people. After he enters the city, or even when he approaches Kaifeng Prefecture, I will serve as a slaughter and serve as a fish. Even if his father Liu Chong has a large number of people, can we still not beat him? Du Chongwei, Li Shouzhen, Wang Jingchong, and Zhao Siwan, all of them are more famous than Liu Chong. They are not all defeated generals under the master and have an opponent, and the master will not be lonely."

Guo Wei browsed and laughed: "Daoan, you are always so optimistic. You are right. I have experienced many battles, how can I be afraid of him? Besides, Liu Chong's location is far from Kaifeng Prefecture. When Liu Chong got the news, I had already integrated the people from all over the world. Now it's like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

When Dong Zunhui saw that Guo Wei finally showed a little rebellious voice, he was very happy. Guo Wei smiled and said, "Fortunately, I was a little confused today and didn't dare to make a decision. Let's play a few games tonight, and wait for the good news."

Dong Zunhui was very confused. Is there any war now that won’t be done? Why do you have to wait for the good news? But then he didn’t have time to get lost, and was scolded by Guo Wei for a night of bad chess.

When it was approaching dawn, several men in black reported to Guo Wei. The anxious Dong Zunhui took the opportunity to pretend to be asleep and escape the chess game. Guo Wei smiled and patted Dong Zunhui, "Don't pretend to be asleep, go and rest quickly."

Dong Zunhui left with a smirk. When he arrived at his residence, Wang Zhengzhong whispered: "General, several generals loyal to the royal family were assassinated tonight, saying that they were too tyrannical and were assassinated by desperate people."

Dong Zunhui suddenly realized that no wonder Guo Wei was reluctant to end the plunder of the people. It turned out that he wanted to cover tonight's assassination. I believe that in this way, the army in the city would be completely controlled by Guo Wei.

He had a good night's sleep. When the next morning, Guo Wei led Dong Zunhui and others to court to discuss matters. After taking out the memorial, Guo Wei submitted it to Feng Dao and others for review. No one objected, and publicly recommended Guo Wei, Feng Dao led the memorial and signed the name after it.

Soon, all the officials signed their names and handed over the eunuch to the eunuch and sent it to the palace. Soon, Empress Dowager Li issued an edict, agreed to the discussion of the ministers, and summoned Guo Wei and Feng Dao to enter. The empress dowager exchanged a few greetings with the two, and ordered Feng Dao to write an edict to welcome Liu Yun to the capital to ascend the throne at a date.

Feng Dao was a cunning man. He knew that this time welcoming Liu Yun ascended the throne and became emperor was not very consistent with Guo Wei's wishes; and the always strong Liu Chengxun actually had fever and illness, which was too sudden and suspicious. Feng Dao then said to the Empress Dowager: "Welcome a new lord, you need to consider the etiquette, and this decree also needs to be repeatedly considered to avoid being criticized in the future. The old minister went out with Mr. Guo to discuss it, and when the discussion was correct, he would report to the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Li nodded in agreement, feeling that the ascension to the throne was indeed a major event and must be handled carefully. Feng Dao and Guo Wei bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and walked out of the palace.
