"It is because I protected you that you are alive and well, and you have developed this arrogant attitude." The emperor laughed again, "You may not believe it, but don't you think about the people who competed with me for the throne in the past? How many are still alive now?""Only me." Long Yi's voice gradually became lower. "Yes, I killed them all before and after I ascended the throne." The emperor's eyes were filled with tears. "You are my youngest brother. You are the one that my father was most worried about before he died. He told me that I should truly be like a father to my elder brother." Long Yi's eyes also filled with tears: "Brother, father never told me." To be honest, among their brothers, except for the emperor in front of them, the others were all young at that time. Among them, he was the only one who competed with his elder brother for the throne. The emperor continued, "It is true that I love you, my younger brother, and it is also true that I want to sit on the throne. I can just say that I have to ascend the throne in order to protect you. But it is not true. I really want to be the emperor." "But it is true that my brother protects me." "It is true that my father once wanted to pass the throne to you, but later he said that you were too young. If you ascended the throne, the power of the imperial relatives would inevitably be monopolized, so he chose me in the end." Long Yi smiled faintly: "Yes, I was only five years old back then, how many ministers would be willing to support me?" If he had really sat on the throne when he was still young, the ministers who supported him would definitely be working for his mother.

At that time, the imperial relatives were in power, and the consequences were something the royal family did not want to see. This is also what the ministers who support the legitimacy of the throne do not want to see. "Now you understand what happened in the past, understand your father's painstaking efforts, and understand that I have never forgotten our brotherhood." The emperor spoke weakly. Long Yi went over, sat on the edge of the bed, and tightly grasped his eldest brother's hand: "Big brother." The emperor responded, reached out and touched the top of his head, just like when he was a child, and said with a smile: "It would be great if we brothers could put aside our past grudges." Long Yi nodded and said, "Brother, which prince do you want to ascend the throne? Please tell me directly. I will do my best to assist you." "Those princes are not my descendants, nor are they from our lineage. I am only raising them as a cover for my own good." "I once wanted Chi An to inherit the throne, but now that I am about to die, my views are becoming more and more clear. Chi An is a member of the Shi family after all, and he must not inherit the throne." Long Yi was surprised: "Then what other good candidates does the emperor have? Do you want to choose one of your nephews to adopt?" The emperor shook his head: "I have already decided on the candidate for the new emperor." "Who?" "you." "I?" Long Yi couldn't believe it. The emperor laughed heartily, "I tell you, being an emperor is not easy. You fought me so hard back then, and you have been holding a grudge against me for more than thirty years. I will now let you know how hard it is to be an emperor." "Royal brother." Long Yi cried, "Big brother." The emperor laughed again: "Of course there is another reason, it's because you have a good son, that is Long Wenyu. If you didn't have a son like him, I wouldn't necessarily pass the throne to you." Long Yi cried and laughed: "Brother, do you mean that I am not as good as this brat?"

The emperor stopped laughing and said solemnly, "That's not the case. I hope you can train him." "The Great Jing must be passed down through thousands of generations, and every candidate for the throne must be carefully considered." "Wen Yu is quite talented and has far-reaching political views, but he is very stubborn in his conduct and is a troublemaker." "I have already polished it, you can continue to polish it." Long Yi stood up and bowed deeply: "Yes, my royal brother!" The emperor waved at him, motioning him to continue sitting next to him. Long Yi sat down obediently, holding his brother's hand again, and couldn't help but speak again: "If my royal brother likes Wen Yu, just let him be your son. I agree to adopt him to you and let him ascend the throne directly. I have been an idle prince for so many years, I am afraid I can't be a good emperor." The emperor pulled his hand away with all his strength: "No, you must endure the pain of being an emperor." Long Yi held his brother's hand again: "Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat." "I hope he can become an emperor of all ages. He is still young and needs to be trained in many aspects. Besides, I was the one who took the throne after all. Now that things have come to this, I hope you will no longer hate me. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?" "Brother Chen understands." "Okay." The emperor raised his other hand, "Welcome me to write the edict of succession." "Yes." Long Yi responded, tears suddenly falling again. "Remember, don't rush to tell Wen Yu that I have long been optimistic about him. Doing so will be detrimental to his growth." "I've made note of it." Long Yi took out the imperial edict, pen and ink, and carefully waited for his brother to write. The emperor wrote down two words and said, "My mother is over eighty years old. I hope you can treat her well and help me be filial to her in the future." Long Yi assured: "Don't worry, my brother, I will be filial to our mother." The emperor then continued to write. After writing the edict of succession, he was exhausted. Eunuch Song came forward hurriedly: "Your Majesty?" The emperor opened his eyes slightly and ordered: "Call all the cabinet ministers, the prime minister, and the six ministers." "Yes." Eunuch Song agreed. The emperor said again: "Let Wen Yu and his wife come in first. I have something to say to them." "Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Song said yes again with tears in his eyes. Soon, Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing came in. As soon as they entered the bedroom, the couple found that something was wrong with the emperor. "Uncle Huang."

"Uncle Huang." The emperor looked at Fu Ciyi with a smile, then turned to look at Long Yi: "I am leaving. Before that, you two must recognize each other as father and son in front of me." Fu Ciyi turned his head away. "This kid is very stubborn." Long Yi shook his head. The emperor closed his eyes and leaned back against the chair. Fu Ciyi said quickly: "I recognize him, I recognize him." Hearing this, the emperor weakly opened his eyes and said, "Good boy." Fu Ciyi then reluctantly called Long Yi, "Father." "Yeah." Long Yi started to act arrogantly. The emperor shook his head and said, "I am about to leave, and you are still angry with me?" Long Yi then pretended to respond happily and turned to look at Yan Funing. Yan Funing had no choice but to follow suit and call out, "Father." Long Yi responded again. The emperor was pleased with this scene. Outside the bedroom, Eunuch Song sent out many young eunuchs. Seeing this, all the princes crowded to the door of the bedroom. "What happened to my father?" "What happened to Father?" "We are princes and have the right to serve and see our father." Eunuch Song said in a loud voice: "Your Highnesses, please be patient. The emperor is still resting. It is inappropriate for you to disturb the emperor by making such a noise." Long Yaodong narrowed his eyes and felt that something was wrong. It seems that he has to find his biological father and force the emperor to abdicate in time. At present, he is still the eldest prince, the eldest son, so even if the throne is to be passed on, it should be passed on to him. If the emperor refuses, my biological father will intervene. If his father had met with an accident and passed away, it would be natural for him, as the eldest son, to succeed to the throne. So he turned around and wanted to leave... (End of this chapter)
