In the ninth year of Zhenglong, in March of spring.

At the third update of the sky, the star of Qi is still shining brightly, and the moon is slightly thin, as if it is still a little breathless.

"Alang, Alang!" Kou Zhun suddenly heard his wife Song's voice in a daze. He immediately woke up and stood up and said, "What time is it?"

"Alang, Mr. Li is looking for you!"

The wife asked in confusion: "Looking at his expression, he seemed very nervous. It must be something big!"

"Yeah!" Kou Zhun was stunned, hurriedly put on his shoes, leaving his hair loose.

Why did Li Di look for me at this time?

Besides, he has always been invisible to his emotions, so how could he be seen and joked?

I thought about it all the way, and in a blink of an eye, I arrived at the living room.

I saw that Li Di was turning around anxiously, and the expression on her face could not be hidden at all.

"Brother Li, why are you so anxious?"

Kou Zhun calmed down and asked.

"My husband, something is not good!" Li Di immediately grabbed Kou Zhun's sleeve and looked around, then said cautiously: "News came from the palace, King Xue died in the second update!!!"

"What?" Kou Zhun was shocked, his face full of disbelief.

"Isn't King Xue always OK?"

"Actually, I've been sick for a long time. His Majesty concealed the news and never thought that he would leave suddenly!"

Li Di sighed and said with a disrespectful expression: "The country is unfortunate, and it is so bad!"

"Where is Your Majesty?" Kou Zhun packed up his clothes, tied his hair up, and asked calmly.

"I'm afraid I haven't left yet when I'm guarding King Xue's mansion!"

Li Di said helplessly: "I have received the news, so I will notify you."

"Retro, retro, why did you come to talk to me now!"

Kou Zhun had no choice but to say anything.

Li Di also serves as King Xue Fu, and it can be said that he knows the King Xue Mansion very well. It is really annoying to speak at this moment.

"I can't do it either. This is arranged by Your Majesty. How can I go against Your Majesty's will?"

Li Di said sadly.

"Let's go!" Kou Zhun packed up his clothes and waved: "Three, prepare the carriage."

"Stop preparing, sit down and wait at the door!" Li Di said.

"That's fine!"

Kou Zhun was not particular, nodded and sat down, and the carriage went to Xue's mansion in an instant.

At this time, the three layers inside and three layers outside the Xue Palace were surrounded by the Yuan Congjun, which seemed particularly solemn.

"My husband!" Seeing that it was Prime Minister Kou Zhun, Yuan immediately saluted: "You can't go in without His Majesty's kindness."

"Please report!" Kou Zhun bowed.

Soon, someone went to inform him, and after a while, he ran back: "Mr., Your Majesty, please come, Mr. Li!"

The two nodded, looked at each other, and then they walked forward with heavy steps.

Kou Zhun was old and heavy in the early morning, trembling a little, but refused Li Di's support and marched resolutely.

The Xue Palace is very large and belongs to the first batch of royal palaces built, covering an area of ​​more than 50 acres. After three generations of King Xue, it has been continuously expanded and repaired. It is extremely magnificent and is almost the same as the imperial palace.

I walked through several yards before I arrived at the place.

I saw that the lights were brightly lit, and from a distance, weeping sounds came from my ears and the crying of a group of women.

Li Di could no longer control her eyes and her eyes were red.

Kou Zhun was also quite uncomfortable.

The late emperor gave birth to seven sons, but now, he has difficulty in having children and only two sons.

Two years ago, the second son of the emperor was a feudal king. Because he was thin, he died of illness before he even went to the capital. He was only twenty years old and had no children left.

Now, King Xue is only twenty-two years old. Although he has taken countless concubines, he has only two daughters and no male heir.

In other words, today, at 43 years old, it has already passed away.

You should know that this is the second emperor who has died in the past few hundred years. The previous one was Aizong, who was killed by Zhu Wen.

The country is unfortunate!

Kou Zhun shook his head, feeling uncomfortable.

When I approached, I saw that the lights were bright in the room, and the emperor sat alone, covered with dark clouds.

On the bed, King Xue was covered with white silk, and the result was self-evident.

"Your Majesty—" The two bowed and met.

"Um!"

The emperor was in a bad mood and waved his hand. The eunuchs hurriedly took the concubines away, especially the crying concubine, the mother of King Xue.

After the tranquility, the emperor sighed deeply: "The family is unfortunate, it is unfortunate!"

"My Majesty!"

"Jiemie? Of course I know!"

Li Ming (after ascending the throne, he removed the word "Nation" in the middle to show his superiority) grabbed his hair and said coldly: "The emperor's family affairs are state affairs, and I still understand it."

Kou Zhun and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now, I have no descendants and no grandchildren. Jue, Jue, Jue, Jue, actually appeared on me-"

The emperor said sadly with difficulty: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the crown prince is the same. What should I do for the two noble families?"

Kou Zhun and Li Di were silent for a while. Faced with such serious questions, it took a while before saying: "At present, according to the patriarchal system, you can only adopt children and become a corpus."

"Um!"

Hearing this, Li Ming nodded and said in a deep voice: "My seven brothers, now, second brother, third brother, and seventh brother, adopting other countries is no longer my own. The fourth brother has only one roots. Now, there are many descendants, only the fifth brother and the sixth brother."

The fifth brother of Lao, namely King of Xia, Li Bangying.

Lao Liu, then appointed King Li Bangmao.

The country of two is on a crowded peninsula, with only a hundred thousand people.

When Kou Zhun and the other two frowned when they heard this.

If the year order is followed, the son of King Xia should be adopted, but King Ren is the younger brother of the emperor's wife, and the concubine is still alive, which has a great influence.

Obviously, the emperor did not want to follow the order of the year, but wanted to adopt the son of his younger brother.

"The seventh son of King Ren, over three years old, is smart and smart. I have sent someone to pick him up. I'm afraid it's coming next month."

Li Ming drank a sip of tea and said casually.

"This--" Kou Zhun was shocked. It seemed that the emperor had already prepared and had already accepted everyone.

"I, I actually just want to hear what you mean." The emperor sighed and said, "After all, this is not in line with the patriarchal rules."

"I am afraid, the wise and wise are nothing better than your Majesty!"

Kou Zhun planned for a while and then said, "Although the patriarchal law says that the legitimate and eldest brother will become, the brother will eventually become brothers, but there is no requirement for adoption."

"Although the son of Ren Fan is in the sidelines, he has adopted the main lineage of the main lineage, which is theoretically not contrary to the rules."

"Is that true?" The emperor finally felt a little relieved in his words. He said, "Don't spread this sentence, just do it!"

"No!" Kou Zhun responded, hesitated for a while, and then said: "The Supreme Emperor should also speak. With his support, he would be worth ten thousand words, and the vassal kings dare not complain."

"Saint?" Li Ming hesitated: "The emperor's grandfather is old, so I'm worried about him. Besides, King Xue has been growing up in his knees since he was a child, and I'm afraid it's not good to hear bad news!"

"Although the Supreme Emperor is old, he is still smart and quick-witted, and it's not a problem." Kou Zhun raised his head and said lightly.

"Okay!"

Li Ming thought about it and agreed.

Xingqing Palace is as bright as ever. As soon as he gets older, Li Jia likes to bask in the sun and sits in the yard with a warm body.

"Saint Lord, Your Majesty asks for your meeting!" said the palace maid who served him softly.

"Oh? Let him come in!"

Li Jia waved her hands without blinking.

Soon, the emperor came with heavy steps in a white shirt. When he saw his grandfather basking in the sun, he hesitated for a while and then bowed: "Grandfather, grandson is here to see you!"

"It's the emperor here!" Li Jia opened her eyes, looked at the emperor's hesitant and tired face, and said, "Do you think I'm blind?"

"The grandson is puzzled!" The emperor was surprised.
