Chapter Nineteen Seven Final Arrangements

In Agra's palace, Li Jundu was sitting in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covered with his body, looking out the window on the terrace.

Li Zhaoyi walked in and looked at the thin and haggard person in front of him. His eyes couldn't help but turn red and his eyes turned red. Li Jundu looked back and said, "Zhaoyi, do you have smoke?"

"Father, the doctor said, you can't smoke." Li Zhaoyi choked and said.

Li Jundu sneered: "It's been a few days since I've been alive. What if he doesn't have it, or not?"

Li Zhaoyi took out a cigarette box and match from his arms and ordered a piece for Li Jundu. Li Jundu took a deep breath, coughed twice, and said, "I have been dreaming these days, and I am always thinking about your childhood. I still remember that year you were seven years old..."

That year, Li Jundu took Li Zhaoyi and others to the Colosseum to watch the tiger fight with the lion. After a lion bit the tiger to death, he suddenly rushed to the stands. Many people were panicked. However, Li Zhaoyi picked up a spear thrown by the guards, erected it in front of his chest, blocked several female relatives. It was that time that Li Zhaoyi's thoughts in Li Jundu changed from being loved to being a charming talent. Over the years, Li Zhaoyi has never disappointed him.

"You are not like your father at all. They don't look like each other, and their personality is not like each other. If he is present, he will be scared to pee his pants even at seventeen. But this person has his own strengths. In terms of courage, he can't catch up with the two of us, but in terms of wisdom, we can't beat it even if we add up.

This little bastard is smart and bad. He has no bottom line in doing things and can keep his true heart. Not to mention our Li family, I am afraid that there is only one thing in the world." Li Jundu said with emotion, talking nonsense, but he was talking about his younger brother Li Junwei.

"......... The old man likes him the most. When I was a child, when the old man saw me, he was like a general who saw a soldier and told me, "What do I want to do and what I can't do. I'm not happy to do this, but the second son got the fatherly love that the second son was not as good as mine, so I felt balanced. The old man liked the third son the most, and he always held him and played with him. The little bastard was lucky. When he was born, the Qing Dynasty was exhausted. When he could speak, the old man became the emperor.

But I was not jealous of the old man's spoiling him at all, because I liked him even more than the old man. That brat seemed to be born to know how to like him.

It would be great if he treated the little bastard as the emperor. The old man would spoil him so much that he would definitely clean up my second brother and pave the way for him. I would definitely not be able to deal with him. He is different from the second brother. The second brother is hypocritical, and the little bastard doesn't care about these things. But he is smart. He knows that being an emperor is a hard job, just don't do it. If he was an emperor, he wouldn't split up and I wouldn't come to this ghost place."

"But dad doesn't like me." Li Zhaoyi said.

Li Jundu smiled: "He definitely doesn't like you. In order to prevent him from always looking at his second child, I gave him a beauty trick. I guess this little bastard must have seen through it, otherwise it wouldn't be so happy. Don't use any blood relationship to restrain him. It's useless. He doesn't want to take this trick unless you grew up next to him since childhood. Your elder brother was grown up when he watched him grow up, and he likes your elder brother. Because he likes your elder brother better than you, I must love you more than you.

This is fucking fair, ahem…”

Li Junduo coughed violently and coughed up blood without any accident. He did not ask Li Zhaoyi to call the doctor, but asked, "Is there any news from your elder brother?"

"Yes, Grandpa Emperor and his friends rushed to the road overnight, and even slept in the car. At this speed, it would take two days to arrive. Grandpa Emperor was really old and could not ride a horse, otherwise he would have arrived today."

Li Junduo smiled a little on his face: "It's hard for the old man. It's the first time he feels that he values ​​me so much. Then I'm not in vain as my son over the years. How did your grandfather treat you when you were in Madras?"

"It's not very close, but it's different from treating others. The eldest aunt treats the child very well."

"Don't ask your grandfather to be so good to you. He and your father are both extremely rational and smart. Such people always have some shortcomings in their relationships." Li Jundu said.

"I've written it down." Li Zhaoyi responded. At this time, the eunuch came to report that the queen Chen Yourong came. Li Jundu asked Li Zhaoyi to carry him to the bed. After his wife came in, he turned into a crooked mouth and a confused consciousness. He shouted nonsense and screamed. Chen Yourong wanted to tell the emperor where he was, but seeing that he was like this, he had to cry and retreat.

This is the state of Agra Palace. Only Li Jundu himself and Li Zhaoyi know Li Jundu's mental state. In the eyes of others, Li Jundu is already a little confused and even mentally deranged.

When the queen stepped down, Li Jundu said, "I have suffered particularly in the past few days. I have not had much time left. Let me ask you, who will succeed to the throne after I die?"

"Of course it's the eldest brother and the prince." Li Zhaoyi knelt on the ground and said.

"There is no one else, there is no need to do this. You know that I want you to succeed the throne the most. You are the most similar to me, and now you control the troops of the whole country."

Li Zhaoyi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Father, you treat your son like your own son, but your elder brother treats me even more kindly than your elder brother. Since my elder brother came to India, he has always been the best to me. He let me tolerate me in everything. I know that it was my father who asked him, but my elder brother has no selfishness. Even the mother and queen regard their son as their closest relatives. No matter how confused the child is, he dare not covet the position of his elder brother. Father, please take it back."

"Do you still talk about personal affairs in the face of state affairs?" Li Jundu asked gritted his teeth.

Li Zhaoyi said: "Even if you don't care about your personal affairs, your elder brother has great prestige in the country. After the last coup, your elder brother no longer serves as the governor of Deccan. He assisted his father in Agra to handle the government affairs. He was very appropriate. His young child is far inferior to his elder brother. He is only more in line with his father's wishes than his elder brother. But if he gets the throne, it is the father's concern for his personal affairs. National affairs are the most important, and the father must not discuss his personal affairs."

"Don't you know that your grandfather and your father came so anxiously just to get your elder brother to succeed to the throne? If I die, anyone will help you, who can protect you?" Li Jundu asked.

Li Zhaoyi hurriedly said, "I have my elder brother to protect my child. At worst, the child can learn from Brother Zhaoying and go to Shenjing."

"Where is your ideal, what about the promise you made in front of me?" Li Jundu asked.

Li Zhaoyi said in great pain: "Father, the child also wants to be the emperor, but the child wants to be worthy of his elder brother even more! The child knows that when the eldest brother becomes the emperor, the child will definitely regret it, but if he regrets it, he will regret it. At this time, he cannot take the position of the elder brother. The child has already snatched the father-son family affection of his elder brother, and can no longer snatch his power.

And the eldest brother is not an incompetent person. He and you and me have different ideas and no right or wrong. If he gives the child the opportunity to help him, the child will devote himself to his work. If he doesn't give it, the child will retire and become a rich prince."

"I knew you were such a person, I knew." Li Jundu suddenly laughed. He took out a key from his body, found a volume of imperial edict in the secret compartment, handed it to Li Zhaoyi, and said, "I just tried to test you. I am very satisfied with your performance. Look at this imperial edict."

Although Li Zhaoyi was very sad when he was regarded as a close relative's father, he felt relieved when he thought of his loyalty and righteousness. He thought that it was the imperial edict sent to the crown prince, but he never thought that he was the one who passed the throne on it.

"Father, why bother you? Why bother? Forgive your child to refuse." Li Zhaoyi knelt down in front of Li Jundu again.

"Boy, get up and listen to your father. This edict is written about the transmission of your home, but you want to support your elder brother as the emperor. I want your elder brother and your grandfather, dad know that I want to pass on your home, but you do not obey the edict, but support your elder brother, and that all the Li family members will accept your favor." Li Jundu touched Li Zhaoyi's head and said.

Li Zhaoyi was puzzled: "Why is this?"

"Your grandfather and your father are difficult people, and they are the only ones I can't guess and grasp. I don't know how they are willing to do for your elder brother. I am worried about the worst situation. I passed it to you, but they sent troops to help your elder brother seize the throne. In the end, my life's foundation was reduced to the hands of others, and I died with my eyes open. So you must first let your elder brother be the emperor and you inherit his position.

But this is just one of them. You have also seen it in Madras. The elites we both have spent years building, and they have not even seen the Imperial Marine Corps, so many of them were killed. That is the blood in our bones, blood in our bones, blood in our bones, and they are both brave and fearless, but they are just dead. The gap between us and the Empire is even bigger. If we want to shorten the gap, we just learn from the Empire. But like me, if you become the emperor, the second will definitely limit us. But when the boss becomes the emperor, both sides will definitely be friendly. Take this opportunity to lay the foundation. In the future, you can inherit a strong empire to realize your and my common ideals...."

"How can the position of Father and elder brother be passed on to me?"

Li Jundu said: "This is the third thing I want to say. Your elder brother is 26 years old this year. He gave birth to four sons, but they all died. Do you know why he has not had anything in the past two years?"

"I heard that my elder brother's harem is unstable."

"Yes, those children were killed by two sluts, but this is not the reason why he stopped, but the border conflict with Persia three years ago. Your elder brother was injured, not what he said to hurt his waist and abdomen, but his lower abdomen, and it is difficult to have children any more. This is a secret. Your mother concealed it with one hand, and she didn't even tell your father, but I already knew it, just pretending to be ignorant.

He has no children and will sooner or later adopt your child. This is your opportunity. Your elder brother only needs to be the emperor for ten or fifteen years. After I die, you have to endure these years and then find an opportunity to seize power." Li Jundu said.

Li Zhaoyi collapsed on the ground as if struck by lightning.

"I can't pass on my career to Zhaogui. He grew up in Shin Kyo and is very talented. When he takes charge of my empire, people will say in the future that the empire is education and the second brother's virtues are influenced. Where is this place for me? I have to pass on my career to your hands. All the achievements you achieve in the future are the legacy of my Li Jundu, which is what I want."

When Li Mingxun and his party arrived in Agra, Li Jundu's condition further worsened. He first coughed up blood, and then fell into a coma. Li Junwei immediately asked the doctor brought from Shen Jing to do the examination, but the results were the same. His elder brother Li Jundu was already terminally ill and had no time left.

After reading Li Jundu’s previous medical records and physical condition, Li Mingxun could guess that his son might have an incurable disease, such as cancer.

"Water...water." Li Jundu woke up in a daze and shouted in a vague way.

Chen Yourong served the water to his mouth but did not drink it. Li Jundu suddenly opened his eyes and said to Li Junwei: "How about it, third brother, do I pretend to be like it? My father thinks, is it like this when I wake up from a serious illness?"

Li Mingxun was surprised, and Li Junwei exclaimed: "You are pretending to be sick, are you?"

"I pretend to be confused, but the condition is real. I feel that it's better to live in a few days..." Li Jundu said calmly: "It's because I'm good to live every few days that I have to pretend to be confused. See if there are any bastards who make trouble while I'm sick and twist their heads off first while I'm not dead."

"I think you are the bastard." Li Mingxun cursed with a cold face.

Li Jundu waved his hand and said, "Go down, our family members talk."

Chen Yourong took his servants down, leaving only the five sons of the Li family. Li Jundu was extremely weak and said, "Dad, I am almost dead. Can you scold me?"

"What, did you let me hold you and cry and cry, am I sorry for you?" Li Mingxun's eyes turned red and he responded coldly.

"That's not necessary. You may feel sorry for me, so you go from thousands of miles away regardless of your age. But you can't do this. I am like you, I am so proud of you, not like the third brother, with a second-handed face. Look, look, I'm crying, and tears are thrilling." Li Jundu said with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk about the main business first. After the main business is finished, we will find a place where no one is left before we hold our heads and cry." Li Mingxun sat down with a cane and pointed at Li Zhaogui and Li Zhaoyi behind him: "To whom do you pass the throne to these two children?"

"This is my Indian business. I am the emperor. I will pass it to whoever I want."

"I am your father."

"That doesn't matter."

"I didn't want to care. You just said that you would pass it to. I don't care. Which one did you decide, the other and the unadulterated boys below, all will come back to China with me. It's better that your wife will follow us too. This place is hot and wet, and it's not dry and tidy. Here, you will suffer!"
