Chapter 1218 A Country Cannot Live without a King for a Day

Text Chapter 1218 A country cannot live without a king

Zhou Shuren touched the soft armor on his chest. The soft armor was quite thin. This soft armor was brought back by Qingfeng. It can be seen that the emperor specially prepared it for him. "Didn't we verify it? It can indeed block knives."

Zhulan was terrified, her eyelids never stopped, she grabbed her husband's official uniform tightly, "You must be extra careful, if something goes wrong, you must remember to run away."

Zhou Shuren was originally calm, but his wife's uneasiness made him uneasy, "Don't worry, everything is under control."

Now Zhulan can only believe that the emperor is fully prepared, "Yes."

Zhou Shuren stretched out his arms to hug his daughter-in-law, and said in a low voice, "I will come back safely, and the family will be left to you."

Zhulan stretched out her hand and hugged her tightly, "Yes."

During the Grand Court Meeting, the road into the palace was full of carriages, one after another. Zhou Shuren left early, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, everyone's faces were extremely serious.

Xiao Qing saw Zhou Shuren, "Here we come."

Zhou Shuren, "Yes."

Xiao Qing looked up at the sky, "It's gloomy today, I think it's going to rain heavily."

Zhou Shuren, "After the scenery is a rainbow, you should be able to see a rainbow today."

The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched, "I thought you still wouldn't say anything."

Zhou Shuren tightened his official uniform, "Your Excellency has a clear eye and a clear heart, and the lower officials have always admired it."

Xiao Qing's smile deepened, because the emperor cared about Zhou Shuren, but he also sincerely admired Zhou Shuren, so he reached out and patted Zhou Shuren's shoulder, "Drink more tea in the future."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself, you will have a lot of time to drink tea in the future, but he doesn't, so he smiled and didn't speak.

Xiao Qing also thought about it, and the smile in his eyes became stronger. He is getting lighter and lighter now, and the burden on his body can finally be thrown away.

The time came soon, and all the ministers entered the palace one after another.

There were too many officials in the Grand Court Assembly, and there was no room for them to stand inside the hall. Many stood outside the hall, and everyone was quiet when they got to their seats.

Zhou Shuren raised his head and looked at the empty dragon chair above. The steps under the dragon chair looked like blood red, and the blood-stained road was a bit glaring.

Not only Zhou Shuren looked at the dragon chair, but also many adults.

King Qi touched his waist, then remained motionless, and King Chu was also exceptionally silent.

Liang Wang's eyes were deep, and he quickly calmed down again.

Only Zhang Yang's eyes were excited and his hands were trembling a little. If he hadn't clenched his hands tightly together, Zhang Yang would definitely attract attention.

Time passed little by little, the prince arrived at the main hall, the quiet hall only had the sound of the prince walking around.

The prince walked up the steps leading to the dragon chair step by step, stood at the place closest to the dragon chair, turned around, and stared at the civil and military officials below.

The current prince also has pride. For the first time, he went to the court by himself and faced all civil and military officials.

The prince took a deep breath, "Today's grand court meeting, I feel very heartbroken."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, the prince paused and continued: "Father has been unconscious for many days. The first four days, the hospital chief and others consulted, and he was unable to recover."

Zhou Shuren listened to the sad sound of humming, lost, and looked at the ministers who lowered their heads and wiped their tears. Zhou Shuren picked up the sleeves of his official uniform and wiped his eyes, just follow the trend.

Some even cried out in grief, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The emotions Zhou Shuren had finally brewed were gone, and he covered his face with the sleeve of his official uniform.

Of course, some people are really sad, this kind of relationship between monarch and minister, well, Zhou Shuren doesn't understand.

The crown prince's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he waited for the ministers to be quieter. He said, "Gu is deeply saddened, but there is nothing he can do. Gu wants to replace him with his own body. As a son, Gu's heart is extremely painful."

The ministers were still choking and whining in a low voice, as if they were immersed in grief, and there was no other emotion in the hall except sadness.

King Qi lowered his head, his face was sullen, these ministers were indeed old foxes, the prince made so many preparations, no one was the first to speak.

King Chu Youyou raised his head,

Seeing who is crying the saddest, I admire him, his own son is not so sad.

Zhang Yang lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth turned up, he became more and more excited about the ensuing drama.

The crown prince sized up the ministers, and glanced at the neutral faction. Well, it was the most normal. When he saw Zhou Shuren from the corner of his eye, he was silent, and his shoulders trembled. It was just right, and he was convinced.

At this time, Ning Xu took a step forward, his voice was hoarse from crying, and he said in a deep voice: "I know that the prince is heartbroken, but I still want to say that the country will not be without a king for a day. I invite the prince to ascend the throne and live up to the emperor's expectations."

For a while, the hall also hummed, and it was very quiet at this moment.

At sea, Rong Chuan was holding a binoculars. The ships in front had reached the range of the artillery bombardment, and the flag soldiers with banners were signaling.

The island on the opposite side is already in full battle, and the whining horns are constantly blowing.

Rong Chuan's blood boiled when he heard it, and he couldn't help but leaned forward, feeling being pulled by someone, took down the binoculars, and saw General Hou's expressionless face.

Rong Chuan, "I just want to see more clearly, I don't want to go to the island."

He can explain it, really.

General Hou didn't believe it, and he didn't let go of Ning Shizi's clothes. If it wasn't impossible to tie him, he would have wanted to tie Ning Shizi, and told the lieutenant beside him, "Fire the cannon."

The lieutenant general took the order and gestured to the flag soldiers, and the flag soldiers quickly semaphore.

Rong Chuan picked up the binoculars again, and saw that the ships in front lit up the cannons, and there was a constant booming sound, blasting dust on the island one by one, and the shouts from the other side could not be heard from a distance, and only the opposite side could be seen The bombed defenses were shattered.

There are also cannons on the island. Unfortunately, compared with the new cannons equipped on ships, the range is not enough. They can only be blasted to the sea, blasting waves without any damage to the ships.

The strong contrast is embarrassing. As the fort is aimed at the island, the fort is bombarded, and the ship gradually advances. The gunpowder and shells carried by the ship are more like carpet bombing.

It was Rong Chuan's first contact with war, and he was dumbfounded, "Can it still be like this?"

General Hou was very satisfied, and told the lieutenant general to continue the bombing, and he must ensure the safety of the landing. He thought to himself that the money invested in the cannon research was really not in vain.

Rong Chuan's blood was filled with enthusiasm, and he felt relieved when he thought that Yang Wen was going to land on the island.

In the main hall of the capital, following Ning Xu's words, the crown prince's natal family came forward one after another to vote for the crown prince to succeed him.

Afterwards, many ministers seconded the proposal one after another. Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes, and he felt that Wang Jue was looking at him.

Zhou Shuren twitched the corners of his mouth, but Wang Jue still stared at him leisurely!

The prince stood silently, as if turning a deaf ear to Ning Xu and the others.

King Qi thought to himself, if he seconded the proposal, the emperor wouldn't settle the score!

The king of Chu stared at the second brother the whole time, but he had an older brother in front of him. Well, now he found the benefits of having an older brother.

Zhou Shuren felt that there were too many eyes on him, so he pursed his lips and took a step forward, "The minister seconded the proposal."
