The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 117 Kangxi's Relics

Although everyone knew that Li Yan would definitely succeed to the throne, the necessary procedures had to be followed. Everyone calmed down for the time being and knelt in front of Kangxi's body, listening respectfully to his orders.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Emperors who have ever ruled the world have always regarded respecting Heaven and following the example of their ancestors as their primary duty."

"."

"After my death, if you can work together to protect me, I will also be happy to die. Prince Dun's tenth son, Yin, is a noble person, very similar to me, and will surely be able to inherit the throne. You will succeed me as the emperor. You will follow the rules and observe mourning for 27 days before you can rest. Announce this to the world so that everyone will know."

"Appreciate this!"

After Zhang Tingyu finished reading, he closed the imperial edict and handed it to Li Yan without waiting for anyone to speak.

Then he patted his sleeves solemnly and knelt before Li Yan: "Your Highness, I, Zhang Tingyu, kowtow to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor!"

Upon seeing this, the third prince, Prince Cheng, Yinzhi, also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I, Yinzhi, kowtow to you!"

"Your Ma Qi pays respect to His Majesty!"

"Your Highness, I, Tong Guowei, kowtow to you!"

"Your Majesty, I, Li Wei, kowtow to you!"

".Your Highness!"

Without further ado, everyone at the scene knelt down to pay respect to the emperor, in order to determine the status of monarch and subject. When everyone knelt down, Li Yan stood up and said with a sad and majestic expression: "Everyone, please stand up!"

"嗻"

After everyone stood up, Li Yan said: "The Emperor, Long Yu, has passed away, and the whole world is mourning!"

"Zhang Tingyu, Ma Qi, Tong Guowei, Li Wei!"

"Chen is here!"

The four of them stepped forward and knelt down to receive the order!

"Tell the study to arrange all funeral matters according to the regulations! The four of you will lead the relevant civil and military officials to discuss and handle the matters after the death of the late emperor. If you have any questions, you can ask for my permission!"

“Hey!”

When the four received the imperial edict, they felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy. They were sad because the emperor had passed away, but they were happy because only the four of them could handle the late emperor's funeral affairs. This was a great favor and a great honor.

If nothing unexpected happens, these four people will become important new upstarts of the new dynasty.

"You all should go out first. I want to accompany the Emperor for a while!"

"嗻"

Everyone rustled away and soon, Li Yan was the only one left in the room!
Li Yan sat down on the chair, looked around, saw that the room was empty, and took a deep breath!

Finally, everything has been settled. It has been fifteen years since I came here in the 46th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign.

Fifteen years of painstaking efforts and careful planning finally paid off.

For Li Yan, this is not just a task, but also his own mission. In addition to the space and inner strength of the system, which gave him some help, he has come to where he is today step by step. Most of his achievements are the result of his own painstaking efforts, and are not simply accomplished by the system.

Therefore, Li Yan also cherished this hard-won position. In his eyes, it was not just a supreme and powerful emperor, which meant little to him. Instead, it was the result of his 15 years of hard work, the hard-won victory gained through his sweat!

A sense of accomplishment fills my heart, this is a feeling of success that I have never experienced in real life!
'Bang. Bang.' Just then, there was a soft knock on the door!

"Come in!"

Tulichen lowered his head, holding a long box in his hand. He walked in front of Li Yan, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the late emperor left for you. He told me to hand it over to you after he passed away!"

"Oh! What is it?" Li Yan was quite surprised and asked subconsciously.

"The late emperor sealed it, I don't know!"

As expected, Turichen didn't know either.

"Does the Emperor have anything else to say?"

Li Yan took the box and took a look. Sure enough, it was sealed with a seal written by the emperor himself and locked. There was a key wrapped in yellow paper with a bright red seal.

Tulichen said: "The late emperor did not leave any oral instructions, but only asked me to pass this thing to you at this time."

"Well, you go down!"

After Turichen went out, Li Yan curiously took the key and opened the lock.

He tore open the seal, opened the box and looked inside. His pupils suddenly shrank, his heart beat twice, and his breathing quickened.

There was a long arrow in the box, two feet and eight inches long, with a fine poplar wood shaft covered with a layer of red lacquer, a sharp and slender arrowhead, and black eagle feathers.

The arrow shaft is tied with a yellow silk ribbon, which makes it bright in color.

Li Yan picked up the arrow shaft and looked at it carefully.

That's right, it was the arrow that he had obtained from the assassins of the fourth brother's family, the arrow that killed Xiao Guoxing. Li Yan gently touched the arrow shaft with his hand, and seemed to think of the scene that happened near the farewell pavilion outside the city in the dark night. Fifteen years have passed, but the scene at that time seemed to be vivid in his mind.

I didn't expect that the old man still kept this arrow. It seems that he has found out everything he did over the years.

Li Yan was a little curious. When did Kangxi figure it out?

The scene of the old man recuperating in the imperial garden when he was ordered to regent the country emerged in his mind.

Perhaps it will be at that time, when government affairs are relaxed, free from constraints and interference, that people's minds will become unprecedentedly rational, wise and insightful!

Li Yan showed a slight smile on his face, put down the arrow, and saw a letter and a string of yellow prayer beads in the box. They were as smooth as jade, with a faint luster, and were decorated with yellow tassels underneath!
He picked up the rosary, held it in his hand for a moment, and then put it down again. Li Yan put the box aside, picked up the letter, tore open the seal, and found three pieces of letter paper inside. He took them out and opened them.

It's the old man's handwriting.
"Yin, when you read this letter, I think I am no longer alive, and you are the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

"Everything in this world has a beginning and an end. Now I have reached the end of my life. Looking back on my life, I have been an emperor all my life. Among the emperors of all dynasties, I am one of the few who have lived a long life. I have also been in office for the longest time. I have no regrets!"

"I have always been confident in my life. I believe that I can live for a hundred years. I have seen countless things in the world and rarely encountered difficulties. After pacifying the three rebels, the death of the ninth son, Yinzhen, was the only thing that made me extremely uncomfortable."

'Ever since the crown prince was deposed and the princes have been fighting for the throne, there has always been someone hiding in the dark among the princes, making moves from time to time to disrupt the situation. As the princes fight for the throne, I sit on the sidelines and observe all the princes, whether it is the eighth prince who wins people's hearts, the fourth prince who works hard, the eldest and third princes who jump up and down from time to time, the fourteenth prince who waits for the opportunity, and the other princes who choose to join me based on their merits! '

"I know everything like the back of my hand."

"Only this person hiding in the dark has aroused my curiosity. He is hiding in the sky just like me, looking down at all living beings and watching the ebb and flow of the tide. This has aroused my great interest. I have made up my mind to find this person. This has become my biggest concern in the past ten years, besides the inheritance of the country!"
