Although the palace has been under martial law, there are many people and the news spread quietly.

"Have you heard that? Both of the emperor's princes were poisoned by traitors!"

"Of course I heard about it. It is said that the one who started it was Ning!"

"No, no, no, it's not King Ning, it's his father King Li, listen to me..."

...

"Hey, do you know that the former prince Minghao was attacked in the northwest that year. It was his younger brother, the prince Mingyu who came later, who did it!"

"More than that! After the prince was abolished, he was worried that King Shou would be named Prince, and he would kill King Shou, who was only eight years old, in a daze!"

"Be careful!"

"Be careful, he can do it, are he still afraid of others?"

"Hehe, these are not big secrets, but do you know how Ren Wang died?"

"Nei was killed by his newly adopted concubine, Miss Qiu Xiang! It is said that Miss Qiu Xiang's father died in the attack case of former Prince Minghao. She came to seek revenge on King Ren!"

"Wow, no wonder her name is Qiu Xiang. This Qiu (qiu), turned out to be Qiu (hou)!"

"Hey, if you don't say it, I haven't reacted yet..."

...

"Tsk, what are you talking about? I tell you, the biggest news is no longer this!!"

"What is that?"

"It's the Emperor who has fainted! He hasn't woken up now!"

"ah!?"

"No, I haven't woken up... Then haven't ascended to heaven yet?"

"This is not! It is said that Liu Bianque, the divine doctor Liu, His Highness De, and the imperial doctors, rescued the emperor. Now there is no danger of life for the time being, but I just can't wake up."

"Oh, my God, what should I do? Emperor! How can the emperor have something to do?"

"Yes, the emperor is a good emperor! He shouldn't have something to do with us for so many years!"

"Well, aren't this all angered by King Li? And think about it, how embarrassing it! "

"This King Li really doesn't act as a son! It is said that his son King Ning was also killed by him..."

...

These discussions are everywhere in the capital.

Gao Jing is still on his way back. The embroidered yarn guards are now without leaders, and there are a lot of things in the palace, and they have no choice but to decide what to do.

Once the rumors spread, that will be powerful.

In a blink of an eye, it was not only the capital city, but also the entire capital area.

From princes and nobles to ordinary people, almost everyone talked about this.

In addition, not only the princes and nobles wanted to go to the palace to visit the emperor, but even the common people came outside the palace in piles and kowtowed directly, wishing the emperor peace and health.

The business of major temples and Taoist temples has also improved a lot.

Halfway through spring, everyone has been busy farming for a year, but now that bad news is coming, the festive feeling is suddenly much less.

...

At this time, three more days have passed since Jing Hedi finished his silver needle surgery.

During this period, the emperor no longer felt pain and trembling, and it was obvious that the qi and blood had returned to smooth flow.

But he just didn't wake up.

Whether it was the Queen Mother, the Queen, King Su, and the others who came over, he didn't wake up.

The ministers came to visit him next, but he still didn't respond.

Even his favorite concubines came to shout, but Emperor Jinghe still had no movement.

If Liu Bianque and the imperial physicians had not confirmed that his breathing was smooth and he was just a little weak, everyone would have thought that he...he had almost reached the last step.

Even Liu Mingqi went there several times but it didn't work.

Zhao Shou is the hardest part here.

The old eunuch did not rest at all for twelve hours a day and was always by Jing Hedi's side.

Later, the empress dowager got angry and asked him to sleep for three hours a day. And the eunuchs were watching him sleep, so he left for a while.

Almost all the rest were sitting next to Emperor Jing He or the empress dowager ordered him to sit down.

Every time someone comes, Zhao Shou will report in advance as before, "Emperor, who is here to see you..." He will be like the emperor awake.

However, this is still useless.

There was no news from the palace to outside the palace.

So even more outrageous rumors and speculation began.

"If... if the emperor, Long Yu, return to heaven, who do you think will become the new emperor?"

"He has no prince to inherit the throne, so there are only all the princes left."

"I heard that there are three heirs of the throne that the palace and the court prefer, King Su, King De and King Wu, who should be chosen among them."

"What? And King Wu? Remove it! He searched for flowers all day long. Asked. Willow, if it hadn't been a little bit better in the past two years, he would have been the biggest playboy in our capital!"

"Well... I think Prince De is very good! He is a saint and takes care of us ordinary people. Look, how many people in the capital are eating their food?"

"King De is not good! He is too young and immature, so Prince Su is the best! He is the sect's official, fair, honest and polite. This is the best candidate for the new emperor!"

"No, no, Prince Su is almost fifty years old, right? How many years can he be an emperor at such an old age? His two sons are not as good as Prince De and Prince Wu. Isn't this going to be ruined again in a few years?"

"Where? Prince Su is only forty-four years old this year. He can be the emperor for at least twenty years, right?"

"I think it's better to be long-term. If Prince De becomes emperor, he can rule for at least forty years, that would be great!"

“…”

These discussions, as they were talking, turned into an inexplicable panic.

Everyone knows that the rest of the matter can be put down and not discussed, but whether there is an emperor is related to the peace of the world.

What should I do if an inappropriate emperor is chosen and he becomes a tyrant and tyrant?

In fact, it is useless for them to worry, but idioms like "nothing" are not in vain, and everyone is so panicked.

Even the common people are like this, let alone civil and military officials.

The three candidates all have supporters, and just as Liu Renhuai and the Empress Dowager said at the beginning, each with their own ideas.

They dare not write a large number of letters now, but their private connections and various news creations are endless.

Faced with such a situation, Xing Yushu was a little anxious.

The chief constable who can no longer turn back now follows Zhou Ming wholeheartedly, trying to make Dakang in chaos.

Only when Dakang becomes chaotic can they take advantage of the situation and get greater benefits.

When he found Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming was fishing leisurely.

You read that right.

Zhou Ming appeared openly by the river outside the city, wearing a wig, beard, etc., and then a hat, sitting on a small stool fishing leisurely.

The ministers were completely confused by "Zhou Ming's self-immolation for fear of crime". In addition, the emperor is unconscious and has not woken up, so they have no time to do the next investigation.

Although the imperial city is still under martial law, the inner and outer cities have relaxed, and the imperial capital has returned to its former hustle and bustle.

Therefore, Zhou Ming easily left the city.

"Zhou Gong..."

Xing Yushu sat next to him and whispered: "You are so calm! Now that the emperor is about to die, the next emperor candidate is likely to be King Su. Don't you panic?"

"What's the matter? What's there to panic?" Zhou Ming asked in reverse.

"If King Su came to power, with his character and his background as a Legalist, wouldn't Dakang become stronger and stronger?" Xing Yu Shu said: "When he prepares Dakang and wants to fight against the outside world, your friends will be in trouble!"

"Then who do you think is better to be the emperor?" Zhou Ming asked.

"Of course it's King Wu Liu Mingjing." Xing Yu said, "He is not good at all except for a little force. He is just a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. If he comes to power, it won't take long for him to ruin the Dakang atmosphere, and he will become weak."

Zhou Ming sneered and smiled, "Can a playboy follow Liu Mingqi from Jiangnan to the northeast, from northwest to Tubo, and then to the Western Regions? Can a playboy be considered the most powerful general in the world by the army? Only when he gets to power should he be alert! Because once he gets to power, he will definitely avenge the invasion of the six countries the previous year!"

"Is it the only King Su?" Xing Yushu said angrily.

Zhou Ming looked at him and shook his head and smiled, "I don't know, this is not something we can decide... Since I quit the palace, even if I still have one or two pieces, I can't affect the overall situation. Just wait and see!"

Xing Yushu looked disappointed.

Zhou Ming knew Xing Yushu's thoughts.

Xing Yushu is corrupt and abused by the law, and is a very sinister villain.
