Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 316: Great Victory News in Beijing, Emperor Dies

Tiandu Changluo is located in the northern palace city.

Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor forced himself to sit up from the dragon bed and looked at the battle report from the Northern Wilderness that had just been delivered to him, his flushed face filled with relief.

"It's done! It's finally done! Northern Wilderness! I can be worry-free for the time being. The thing that I was most worried about has finally been resolved."

"Haha! In just the battle of Rabbit Tail Plain, more than 400,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Wasteland were wiped out. Adding the results of other battles, at least more than 700,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Wasteland were annihilated!"

"Moreover, the Liu family kid also broke into the Sirius Royal Court, rescued millions of people, and almost wiped out the Sirius Royal Court's many years of accumulation!"

"The best part is, he has restored the balance of chaos in the Northern Wilderness Prairie."

"The Aokong tribes and the Cangmang tribes have a great feud."

"There are also many contradictions within the Cangmang tribes. The Lone Wolf Tribe has revived, and the Black Wolf Tribe has jumped from the weakest tribe among the core tribes to one of the top three powerful tribes! The Heavenly Wolf Tribe suffered the most serious losses, and I'm afraid it can only restore its old name of the Canglang Tribe!"

"It is impossible for the Cangmang tribes to unite as one again. In fact, the internal disputes will only intensify!"

"No worries in the Northern Wasteland!"

The emperor's tense mind finally relaxed!

But as he was holding it tightly, his body also relaxed and he fell weakly back on the bed and passed out.

"Your Majesty!? Your Majesty!? Quick! Go and invite the old doctor Zheng! Go!"

Concubine Jing, who was attending the emperor, shouted hurriedly.

Zheng Zhou hurried to the Yangxin Palace, and after a diagnosis, he looked dejected.

"How is His Majesty?" Concubine Jing asked nervously. Eunuch Chen, the head of the inner factory, also looked uneasy.

"Your Majesty! ... His Majesty's... His... His life span is coming to an end. It is difficult for me to... extend His Majesty's life!"

"What!? Are you saying that His Majesty he...he...is about to die?" Concubine Jing's body went limp and she was about to collapse to the ground, but fortunately she was supported by a palace maid!

"Right now, I can only let Your Majesty regain consciousness for another hour or two. I think he will be able to wake up in the early morning tomorrow! Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen! Hurry and summon the Crown Prince and other important officials to the palace!"

That night, news of the emperor's impending death spread like wildfire, and undercurrents began to surge throughout the capital.

The next morning, the emperor finally woke up again, and he looked much better than in the previous few days.

The emperor, who had not eaten properly for a long time, actually drank two bowls of porridge and ate a lot of appetizers.

This made the faces of the princes and important officials who had entered the palace overnight relax a little.

After the emperor finished his breakfast, he looked even more energetic. He sat on the dragon bed and said with a smile, "Well, you are all here! That saves me from summoning you one by one! Come on, announce the news of the great victory in the Northern Wilderness and celebrate with the people."

Then, the emperor's face turned serious and he began to issue orders:

"Convene a temporary court meeting in one hour. I will have something important to announce."

"Draft an order immediately and send it to the Northern Wasteland as soon as possible!"

"Summon Wang Jue and Yuchi Chong to return to the capital immediately!"

"The 17th Division of the Northern Expeditionary Army will all withdraw to the capital! You must set out within three days of receiving the order."

"All the frontier troops, state divisions, county brigades, and private armies that participated in the expedition should return to their original stations!"

"The civilian militias who participated in the expedition have returned to their homeland!"

"The millions of people who were rescued will return to their homeland with the army!"

"Upgrade the Yunliu Division to the Zhenhuang Army, with a strength of 50,000 men. Liu Feiyun will be the commander of the army and awarded the title of Zhenhuang General. The Xuehen Army will be disbanded, and the elite will be selected to join the Zhenhuang Army, and the rest will be demobilized and become civilians!"

"The Zhenhuang Army will temporarily stay in the Northern Wilderness and continue to attack the tribes in the Northern Wilderness! Liu Feiyun will be given the power to command, appoint, remove, allocate and recruit people! He will be ordered to eliminate another 100,000 elite barbarian soldiers within one year, so that the Northern Wilderness will fall into civil strife and will no longer be able to invade the south!"

"Order all the troops in the Northern Expedition to immediately compile a list of achievements and merits, and submit it to the Ministry of War to prepare for rewards and punishments!"

Finally, his expression relaxed, and after a short rest, he said to the ministers in the room: "All ministers can go to Tianyou Hall and wait! Next, I want to talk to the princes about family matters!"

More than a dozen important ministers looked at each other, and finally they all looked at Zheng Zhou who was standing beside the emperor.

Zheng Zhou nodded slightly, and these powerful ministers knelt down one by one and left.

Soon, only the emperor and seven princes and eight others were left in the small bedroom!

The emperor looked at his seven sons lying in front of the bed and sighed deeply!

"I am dying! I am afraid I won't make it through today!"

The emperor said with a wry smile.

The seven princes knelt down in a hurry, tears streaming down their faces. Some said that their father was blessed by heaven! Some said that their father was kind and should live a long life! Some said that they were willing to die in their father's place and begged God to extend their father's life!

For a moment, there was crying in the hall.

The emperor looked at his seven sons crying and wailing quietly, with a calm face.

After a while, the emperor said impatiently: "Alright, alright! If you want to cry, wait until I die before you cry enough! Next, I want to talk to you guys about some serious business! I don't have much time!"

The seven princes then stopped crying one after another, knelt down with red eyes, waiting for the most important decision that the emperor might announce!

"Big Brother! Fourth Brother! You two have been fighting for my throne for who knows how many years!"

"I dare not!" "I have absolutely no such thought!"

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince kowtowed again in haste.

The emperor chuckled and said:

"Haha! Actually, what's so good about the throne of the Son of Heaven? If you want to achieve something, you have to work hard and worry a lot! But if you don't want to achieve anything, you will inevitably become someone else's puppet!"

"Big brother, you are stubborn and self-righteous, and fourth brother, you think you are smart! Behind you two, there are people cheering for you and giving you advice and help."

"Actually, I like Old Seven more. His way of thinking is somewhat similar to mine! It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time!"

"Alas! No matter who I pass the throne to today, I'm afraid no one else will be convinced!"

"You tell me, after I die, how long can you wait to fight against each other?"

At this moment, the seven princes kowtowed repeatedly to express their sincerity and vowed that they would never fight against each other.

"Alright! Stop kowtow! Stop kneeling! If you guys start fighting against each other in the future, I can't do anything to you! Let's talk about something more practical!"

"No matter how much trouble you cause in the future, remember not to kill your sisters! At least give them some life!"

"Boss, you are the crown prince, and the throne will be passed on to you! But you must remember! Don't act too hastily, and don't forcefully push through the order to reduce the feudal system, or rashly abolish slavery! I think the order to extend favors to the young man from the Liu family is feasible!"

"Old Four, those lords and princes who supported you to become the emperor just wanted you to be a puppet. What's so good about being a puppet emperor? Why don't you let the eldest brother make you a king?"

"Become the king of a state and the greatest vassal! I'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox!"

"Seventh Brother! Put away those little thoughts of yours! If you want to realize your ambitions, then let the eldest brother make you a regent king! If not, then let the eldest brother make you a territory king!"

"As for the others, it's the same. Some will be important officials in the court, while others will be appointed as dukes of a county! It's all up to you! Xiao Ba, who is traveling outside, has already asked me for a county in Jiangnan! You can make your decision now!"

"Boss! Are you willing to arrange your brothers in this way? To enfeoff your brothers as princes?"

At this moment, even though the prince was extremely reluctant, he could only nod and agree!

At the grand court meeting that day, Emperor Gu Cangsheng officially announced that he would pass the throne to Crown Prince Gu Huairen, and the coronation ceremony would be held on a certain day a few days later!

The prince then announced that he would make his brothers lords of their own territories.

However, the grand court meeting had not yet ended, but the emperor suddenly passed away in the court after personally announcing the great victory in the Northern Wilderness!

For a moment, the court was shaken! The capital was shaken! The whole world was shaken!

It was several days later when Liu Feiyun led nearly one million people to join the main force of the army.

This place is only a few hundred miles away from Sirius Lake. A large river winds northward and flows into Sirius Lake.

At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops had set up camps on both sides of the river to rest.

Liu Feiyun's arrival made the place even more crowded with tents, endless and the sea of ​​people was countless.

Soon, Liu Feiyun was summoned to the central military tent to receive the imperial edict!

When Liu Feiyun arrived at the central army tent, he saw hundreds of people gathered outside the tent, whispering to each other in groups of three or four.
