Chapter 249 The Emperor’s Curse! Filial piety, ambition, and the heart of the emperor!
"I really want to live another five hundred years..."
The old emperor leaned on the dragon couch and felt a strong desire to survive in his heart, but the cruel reality forced him to pave the way for the young prince.
He also knew very well that he had not had much time, and the ghosts and gods seemed to be urging him to let him handle the affairs of his country as soon as possible.
So, the old emperor took a decoction and suddenly became much more excited and stretched out his hand:
"Fang'er, come here."
Upon hearing this, Prince Cao Fang immediately accelerated his pace, walked to the dragon couch, and asked nervously with a tense face: "Father, are you in better health?"
There is no affection for the heavenly family! There is no good or evil in the emperor!
But people will gradually age and slowly change their past thoughts as death approaches.
The old emperor, who had always been cruel, could not help but care about Xiaole, when he died. After hearing the prince's greetings, his mood suddenly improved:
“How’s your studies recently?”
Cao Fang said respectfully:
"The Nine Chapters of Laws, the Pian Chapters of Laws, the Yue Palace Rules, the Chao Rules, the Nine Provinces Military Rules and the Wu Rules have all been memorized thoroughly."
"If the father doesn't believe it, you can take the exam for the school minister."
David's imperial education in the Wu Dynasty never taught any Confucian philosophy, respected the law and established the country with martial arts.
As the prince, Cao Fang really wants to learn something, essentially one thing:
"How to hold the gun?"
Only by gaining the recognition of 200,000 soldiers from Jiuzhou, the prince could inherit the throne and become the father of the people of Jiuzhou.
Although the old emperor had taken medicine, he was still sleepy and unable to take the school entrance exam. His old but majestic eyes stared at Cao Fang tightly and said calmly:
"If I'm tired, how much do you want to share with my father?"
Cao Fang quickly knelt down to the ground, and said with concern:
"My father is healthy and will be able to find the method of immortality and rule the nine provinces forever!"
Hearing this, a hint of warmth appeared in the old emperor's heart. The face of the emperor who had been cold for decades showed a faint smile at this moment, and he said something in his heart:
"In the past, the First Emperor searched the world but failed to find the way for the emperor to live forever. When I was young, I also regarded myself very high and thought I could break free from the shackles."
"Until last year, I was still illusory and wanted to fight the last battle for you. If I could conquer the Western Regions, even if the Xiongnu on the grassland resurrected, I would definitely have congenital bad luck."
"At that time, if you become a little older, you can rely on the great cause of attacking the Huns in the north to hold the throne and even be famous for the eternal period!"
Having said that.
The old emperor smiled slightly, but unexpectedly, his throat suddenly itched a little, he raised his hand and covered his lips.
But the black bloodshot still flowed downward from the cracks of the hand, like five-step snakes that chose people to devour, dripping on the bed, corroding the silk quilt and the bed beams into big holes...
This is the curse of King You of Zhou!
The terrifying price of taking the Emperor's Elixir!
The nearly rotten poisonous blood flows day and night on the body, young and fashionable and can survive, but when you get old, it is the best torture in the world!
"Father?"
Cao Fang spoke in horror.
The old emperor didn't care much, and even got used to it, coughing blood, and continued with some regret:
"Now it seems that the two battles between the Western Regions and the north attack on the Huns must be left to Je."
"A generation of people naturally has their fate. I have surpassed God's will and naturally ended up like this today."
Said.
When the old emperor recalled the glorious years of the past, he couldn't help but think of his greatest achievements, including the land of Liaodong in the scope of Jizhou and Qingzhou.
The kingdom expands!
At that time, he personally led the army to fight, and his favorite general star was a wilderness captain called "Zhang Baisai", with outstanding achievements.
It’s a pity that this person has no hope of Marquis Wu, so he cannot get into the eyes of the emperor.
Gradually forgotten by the old emperor.
On the contrary, Sima Zhongda, an old minister in the Weiwu era, rejuvenated his second spring on the battlefield in Liaodong, made numerous military achievements, and was appointed as prime minister.
"Although Zhongda is a favored by the Greedy Wolf Star and has the hope of a powerful minister, he is only David Wuhou, who is nourished by the country's fortune. Although he is powerful, it is not beneficial to his life and cannot live forever. It is not a threat to Fang'er, but it is okay.
Be the orphan entrusted minister…”
"When Fang'er is old, you can easily grasp it!"
The old emperor woke up from his memories, staring at the prince with his old eyes tightly, and said in a deep voice:
"The emperor's position is never a glory or a delicacy of pleasure, but a curse that blesses you by all nations, and a shackle that can never be broken free once it is put on!"
"Don't stop until death!"
"I'll ask you, Prince Cao Fang, do you want to have this golden curse?"
In fact.
If the answer of Prince Cao Fang cannot satisfy the old emperor, then for the future of David Wu Dynasty, he can only select a good son from the royal family, adopt him, and then inherit the throne of David Wu Dynasty.
.
Cao Fang knelt down and was silent for a while, then raised her head and calmly expressed her ambitions:
"My son is willing to inherit the great cause of his father, dig out the Western Regions, attack the Huns in the north, be cursed by all the people, and make me David's Wu Dynasty last for thousands of years!"
Although the old emperor coughed blood, he felt very relieved because of his son's filial piety and ambition, and even the emperor's heart, and said with a tragic smile:
"In this way, I'll be relieved."
…………
late at night.
Weiyang Palace.
Prince Cao Fang slowly walked out of the palace gate and confirmed that there was no suspicion around. Then he quietly boarded a carriage and immediately spoke out all the communication between him and his father to an old man inside.
He asked with a little pride:
"Teacher, how did I do?"
"I said all the things you taught me to say to my father."
This old man was Sima Zhongda, the prime minister of David Wu Dynasty. There was a hint of chill in his eyes, but he was applauding on the surface:
"Young Master did a good job."
"Your performance tonight is enough to make Your Majesty dispel his thoughts of adopting his son. In no time, you will become the king and father of David Wu Dynasty!"
"The whole world is rich and I will serve you alone!"
Cao Fang licked her lips and said with a little desire:
"I heard that there are black and white beasts called iron-eating beasts, extremely powerful."
"When I become the emperor, I must send a large army to capture this beast into Beijing and taste its taste..."
Sima Zhongda stroked his beard and smiled in agreement:
"The Qinglong in the East China Sea, the Xuanwu Divine Beast in the North, the grape wine in the Western Regions, and the Jiuzhu Ling Bird in the South are all the best food in the world. You can have everything you want!"
"Okay, okay--"
Cao Fang smiled with her palms, and a trace of saliva appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth.
In fact.
If the old emperor heard the secret conversation in the car, he would be so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Then he mobilized the Yulin Army to kill the Sima family!
Then, he immediately selected a good son from the royal family and quickly inherited the throne.
Just because—
If the words of Cao Fang, the "filial piety, ambition, and even the heart of the emperor" are revealed, if the whole story comes from Sima Zhongda,
So, who is the real emperor's talent?
…………
"It must be a treacherous minister who took down our luck reward!"
In the former capital of Loulan, and in the current Loulan County, Zhang Baisui was so angry that he glared at him and gradually felt resentment.
But Jiang Chen was relieved if he failed to obtain David Wuhou.
