Chapter 756 The Emperor Passes Away

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

Song Mo was awakened.

The first time he woke up, he saw several people led by Xie Zhan kneeling beside the dragon bed.

The Empress Dowager, who came in a hurry after getting the news, gouged out Xie Zhan, then passed them and came to the side of the dragon bed, "Emperor, are you awake?"

Behind him, the queen and her party were chasing after them.

Xie Zhan straightened his back and knelt there, looking at his nose and heart, not caring at all about the Queen Mother's disgust. Before waking up the emperor, he had already gone to see the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother was very surprised when she saw him. He did not immediately agree to his proposal to wake up the emperor.

After he left the palace of the Queen Mother, he immediately went to see the Queen.

So there was this scene in front of me.

Facing the concern of the Queen Mother, Song Mo nodded lightly, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it now?" He felt that he slept for a long time this time. The weather was still hot when he woke up last time, and now he I felt chilly when I woke up.

Liang An replied respectfully, "Back to the emperor, it is September 26, the seventh year of Tianhe."

It’s only the end of September and it’s so cold? Song Mo was in a trance.

"Lin Shen, you are so brave. How dare you wake up the emperor privately? What crime should you be punished for?!" After a while, the Empress Dowager began to attack the imperial doctor Lin.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, please forgive me." Dr. Lin kowtowed while begging for mercy.

At this time, Xie Zhan spoke, "Your Majesty, the plan for the three-state free trade zone hosted by Wang Yun and others is going to fail."

Hearing that his good plan was messed up by his ministers again, Song Mo angrily yelled, "Trash, they are all trash!"

"Why don't you wake me up earlier?"

Xie Zhan was silent, so what if he had been awakened early? Pingzhou is not easy to deal with.

Doctor Lin grabbed the ground with his head and said with a cry in his voice, "Your Majesty..."

After the anger passed, Song Mo felt waves of weakness, and he let himself lean on the pillow behind him.

Song Mo understood that he was returning to the light.

Then, under Dr. Lin's explanation, Song Mo knew that once he was awakened, his death would not be far away.

Song Mo had mixed feelings in his heart. Because he knew that he would not want to be in a coma all the time. As an emperor, he would rather die awake than die in a coma and sleep in order to live longer.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Xie Zhan did not blame them for waking him up at this time, and at the same time he also understood the potential turbulent undercurrent of the scene in front of him.

"Have someone go and invite Shen Wan, Sang Baiqing and Lin Ran."

After Song Mo finished his instructions, he took two deep breaths. At this moment, he also felt that his body was completely exhausted.

The Empress Dowager was about to speak, but Song Mo raised his hand to stop him. He didn't have much time left and didn't want to waste it on trivial matters.

In fact, there was no need for Song Mo to give orders. Something was wrong in the Taiji Hall. Shen Wan, Sang Baiqing, Lin Ran and others were already on their way over.

Lin Ran was the fastest to arrive. He was Jin Wu and was responsible for the security of the palace. Xie Zhan took action while he was on duty, otherwise...

Everyone knew what was going on when Song Mo woke up, and Shen Wan and Sang Baiqing didn't come too late.

As soon as the two arrived and saw Xie Zhan himself, they couldn't help being surprised. Xie Zhan was not dead? Who died in that fire?

After everyone arrived, Song Mo ordered, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress, Xie Zhan, Lin Ran, Shen Wan, Sang Baiqing and others will stay, and the others will leave!"

Following Song Mo's order, everyone in the palace retreated.

Shen Wan and Sang Baiqing looked at each other. Things were about to change. Before the emperor died, there were no traces of the heads of the cabinet families.

Finally, Song Mo's eyes fell on Xie Zhan, "Xie Zhan, tell me now, can you clean up the current mess?"

Xie Zhan immediately expressed his position, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Hearing this, Song Mo's eyes lit up, "Have you got that thing?"

Xie Zhan: "Back to the Emperor, yes."

The other three people: Something, what? What riddle were the two playing?

"Do you have any solution to what was mentioned in the secret letter you sent me last time?" Song Mo leaned forward slightly, with expectation in his eyes.

"Back to the emperor, I have..." Xie Zhan took a few steps forward with his knees on the ground. Then he boldly held Song Mo's hand and whispered to him his response.

After listening to Song Mo, Long Xin was delighted.

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Song Mo laughed out loud, smiling, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. It was a pity that he couldn't see this scene that turned the tide.

The Empress Dowager, Imperial Physician Lin and Liang An didn't know the reason.

"Liang An!" Song Mo shouted.

"The slave is here!"

"Declaration!"

"yes!"

Liang An immediately took out the secret edict he had prepared earlier, which announced the imperial order to establish his eldest son Song Yu as the crown prince.

"Xie Zhan, I now name you the regent!"

"Your Majesty!" the Queen Mother shouted.

Song Mo lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The Queen Mother said again, "How can the establishment of a regent be a piece of cake?"

Child's play? Does she think this is child's play? Or does she think she still has time?

Song Mo twitched his lips and smiled sarcastically.

"Xie Zhan, I entrust the country of Dali and the young emperor to you. Remember to assist the young emperor with all your heart!"

"Emperor!" The Queen Mother stood up displeased.

At the same time, Xie Zhan lifted up his robe and knelt down to show his loyalty, "I will live up to the emperor's kindness."

Song Mo looked deeply at Xie Zhan kneeling in front of him. The heir was still young, and Xie Zhan was mature and powerful. Dali was likely to be unable to escape the situation of a weak ruler and a strong minister, but he had no choice.

However, he restored Xie Zhan's name, which was his calculation. The man in Pingzhou would not let Xie Zhan go.

In this way, Xie Zhan could be deeply bound to the country of Dali.

Perhaps it was because he was about to die, and he seemed to vaguely see the end of Dali.

He gave the power of regent to Xie Zhan, which was a reward, a comfort, and a chance for Dali to survive.

At least before the fight with the man in Pingzhou came to a result, Dali's country was still very stable.

If Xie Zhan lost, then Dali's country would be over. Because no one could resist Lu Songli's means.

After explaining these things, Song Mo's face was pale, and he shook his head at the ginseng tea brought by Liang An.

"Emperor, do you still have the grandmother of my family in your eyes?" The Queen Mother was extremely displeased.

Song Mo looked at the Grand Empress Dowager at this time. He knew what the Grand Empress Dowager meant. She was simply displeased that he had handed over the power of regency to Xie Zhan.

Even his grandmother wanted to rule the country from behind the curtain. Did she think she could be as good as Lu Songli?

Which problem could she handle if she was handed over to her?

Just to satisfy her for two days?

"Grandmother, I have arranged everything. You just need to enjoy the honor."

"Emperor, do you not trust me?" The Grand Empress Dowager asked bluntly.

Others in the palace dared not even breathe.

"Yes." Song Mo replied wantonly.

"It's better for me to rule the country from behind the scenes than for Xie Zhan to be the regent, right?"

Song Mo asked her, "Grandmother, Dali is in turmoil now. If you rule the country from behind the scenes and Dali is destroyed, you will be the sinner of Dali."

"Even if you die in the future, you will not be able to face the ancestors of the Song family. Are you sure you still want to rule the country from behind the scenes?"

"I still want to keep it as it is. Even if Xie Zhan becomes the regent, he will not dare to treat you badly."

Not really? The Empress Dowager thought uncertainly.

"Xie Zhan, you should obey my orders. Remember what you promised me before and don't let me down." Song Mo made the final decision.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. As long as Dali is alive, I will be alive. If Dali is dead, I will not compromise!"

Xie Zhan's sonorous and powerful statement shocked everyone present. No, Xie Zhan was so loyal? These words were equivalent to swearing to live and die with the Dali Dynasty.

"After I die, you can choose a suitable time to hold a funeral." Song Mo said this, and his heart felt uncomfortable, and he felt that he couldn't breathe.

He said this, of course he knew what the consequences would be, but Song Mo didn't care anymore.

After he died, who cares about the floods behind him.

Song Mo knew that his posthumous title would not be very good. After all, he had been on the throne for six or seven years without much achievement. Even the country of Dali was in a precarious situation, and it was good enough for the court officials not to give him a bad posthumous title.

Song Mo's eyes were fixed on one place.

His life was so short.

After he ascended the throne, he encountered many difficult things, various natural disasters and man-made disasters, and powerful opponents kept disrupting the situation, so he really didn't make any achievements during his reign.

He always thought he was a smart man, but before he died, he sadly discovered that he was just a mediocre talent, just a little smarter than ordinary people, but compared with the pride of this world of great contention, there was still a gap.

It's time, fate, sadness, and regret!

Song Mo's hand suddenly dropped.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone was shocked!

"Imperial Physician Lin, please take a look at the emperor!"

Imperial Physician Lin quickly got up from the ground, stepped forward, and stretched his hand tremblingly under the emperor's nose.

After a moment, he suddenly knelt down, "The emperor has passed away!"

"Your Majesty!"

The palace was filled with cries.
