"Is this the last moment of life?"
Cai Ze, Wang Jian, Meng Ao, and the other civil and military officials present could clearly hear the obvious change in his words.
As a result, the hall fell silent, and only the words of Great Qin's Emperor could be heard.
"Swoosh…swoosh…"
If there was anything, it was the faint echoes produced by the words carved on the bamboo slips by Wang Wan.
" The Great Qin Empire went through Duke Xiao of Qin, King Huiwen of Qin, and King Wu of Qin. Even in my fourth generation, the conquest of the East was still incomplete…"
"Now that Ying Rui, a descendant of the royal family, is the fifth generation, even if I die, my hegemony is still not over.”
Ying Ji's tone became even more excited when he mentioned the Great Qin's legacy of conquering the east.
"Only Great Qin can unify the world!"
All of the officials and civil servants present felt as if they had returned to the days when they were fighting for their lives.
There was no lack of wise monarchs in the six dynasties. However, the Ying royal family had passed down their achievements from generation to generation, and that was an exception.
"Great Qin…"
As a member of the Ying royal family, Ying Rui could understand his grandfather's feelings and his determination to keep forging ahead.
Looking at the rulers of the six countries, at most two generations were wise. No other country had been like Great Qin, which had been able to maintain four generations of hard work!
Not to mention the current Warring States Period, even the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties did not appear. It was so rare that the six dynasties were jealous of them. This was how the nickname of Violent Qin spread like wildfire.
"This is Great Qin, the place where I grew up.”
After carefully listening to his great-grandfather's words, Little Ying Zheng was greatly influenced, and unconsciously, that spirit of progress was gradually carved into his bones.
"The Left General of the Northern and Southern Yamen, Meng Wu, will be transferred to the Imperial Guards as the rear general. The rear general of the Imperial Guards, Wang Ben, will be transferred to the Northern and Southern Yamen as the Left General.”
After briefly describing everything that happened before his death, Ying Ji, who was lying on the bed, turned his head slightly and shifted his gaze to Meng Wu.
"Even though the lamp oil has run out, his methods are still as shrewd as ever, leaving a good political foundation for the crown prince.”
The civil and military officials were secretly shocked by such a small change. The King of Qin was still the same King of Qin. He would not be confused even when he was about to die.
As the palace guards were the direct line of command of the Crown Prince, if Meng Wu did not intend to pledge allegiance to the new king, then the position of the rear general was actually just for show.
Wang Ben was obviously the Crown Prince's trusted general, and controlling the imperial guards of the Southern and Northern Yamen was equivalent to controlling his own safety. It was a perfect move.
"Wu 'er, you must be smart and not hesitate.”
If he was slow, he would be suspected immediately. Meng Ao could not give an obvious signal, so he could only hope that his son would be more hardworking and not make a mistake during a special period.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Your subject obeys."
The palace guards were the direct descendants of the Crown Prince. Meng Wu, who had realized something, replied without hesitation.
"Although Ben 'er is valued by the Crown Prince and will have a place in the Wang Family in the future, it's not good to be in the limelight.”
Wang Jian, who had yet to reach his old age and was still in the prime of his life, had initially shown his later foresight.
"In addition, Madam Hua Yang will be the second Empress Dowager and King An will be the Grand Supreme King.”
Seeing this, Ying Ji shifted his gaze to the other officials.
That's right, as long as Meng Wu had any thoughts, he didn't mind being appointed to a position without any real power or being frozen on the spot.
Hua Yang was just a pitiful person. She did not have a single son in her life. With the identity of the Empress Dowager, she could enjoy her old age.
As for the second son, King An, Ying Zhu, who was the father of the royal grandson Ying Rui, his condition was too serious. It was best for him to be conferred the title of Grand Supreme King and rest in peace.
"At present, Madam Hua Yang has been promoted to the Empress Dowager, and the Chu faction's power has become more stable.”
Thinking of this, Feng Quji glanced at the representative of the Chu faction, Xiong Gu, who had a very high prestige in the court.
"Ying Zhu is weak and sickly, and has been bedridden until now. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would be the crown prince of the Eastern Palace.”
Speaking of the King's second son, King An, the old general, Wang He, felt sad. He had always been tortured by illness.
Thinking about how the king was about to die, and the second son, King An, did not come, one could imagine how serious it was. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was weak.
"Father's illness can't be dragged on like this. However, the rumored cure will probably be found soon.”
Ying Rui still wanted to be filial to his father, who had always been sick and had only seen him a few times.
Back then, when he was starting out, he had ordered people to help him in secret several times. At first, he even sent people to protect him until he had the strength to protect himself.
By chance, he had obtained the loyalty of the North Branch of the Black Ice Platform. Later, he found out that his father had contributed a lot at that time.
"Everyone, assist the Crown Prince. This is my last imperial order.”
There was nothing left to regret. Ying Jibu spoke in a heavy tone as he stared at every official present.
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will definitely assist the Crown Prince.”
Hearing the King's last instruction, the civil and military officials raised their hands and bowed in a very standard manner.
"Crown Prince, Great Qin is in your hands!”
In the end, Ying Ji's gaze stopped on the royal grandson Ying Rui. He used all his strength to give his last words of encouragement.
"Yes, grandfather!"
The simple word 'promise' expressed everything. This was a promise to his grandfather, and also a promise Ying Rui made to himself.
"Zheng 'er, learn well from your father. You'll benefit from it for the rest of your life.”
Looking behind the Crown Prince, Ying Ji finally stopped at the small figure and revealed a kind smile.
"Yes, great-grandfather. Zheng 'er will definitely follow in father's footsteps and work hard to learn every subject.”
In the face of such a big occasion, Little Ying Zheng, who had not spoken for a long time, did not show a trace of panic. Instead, he revealed a rare steadiness.
"This young master is not like an ordinary child. His actions seem more mature.”
A childlike voice that did not lose its grandeur was heard. It was only then that they noticed the Crown Prince's eldest son. The civil and military officials subconsciously looked over.
"Judging from his words and actions just now, he has the demeanor of the Crown Prince. No wonder he brought the Little Lord to the main hall of the Golden Palace.”
Cai Ze narrowed his eyes with a meaningful look in his eyes. According to what Wang Ji had said earlier, the King had specially ordered the Little Lord to come with the Crown Prince.
No one would leave an ignorant child at an important occasion. What was the intention behind this? It was intriguing.
"Good, good, good…"
Not only did he find a qualified successor, but he was also fortunate enough to know the aptitude of the next generation. Ying Ji no longer had any regrets. He peacefully closed his eyes.
Gradually, his body lost all of its vitality, and his right hand weakly dropped down, announcing the death of Great Qin's fourth generation Yu Lie!
