However, his son even left a grandson for him. As long as his grandchildren had the ability, even if they were great-grandchildren, they could still reclaim the throne!
Although there was no matter if his surname was the Emperor or not, even if Ye Jingche was removed from the imperial family list, he was still surnamed Ye. The key point was, he was of the Emperor Ruikang's bloodline, and that was not wrong.
As long as his grandson was truly not bad in the future, he believed that Ye Jingxing, including his children, would definitely not mistreat his family.
Of course, this was only what the Emperor Ruikang was thinking.
He felt that the heir he chose was kind and kind to his brothers, which was why he gave the throne to him so confidently.
But what he did not know was that in Ye Jingxing's heart, Xu Nuanwen hated Ye Jingche, and even Ye Jingxing's sons did not like the Ye Jingche family.
That was why the Emperor Ruikang comforted himself, but Ye Jingxing didn't plan to train Ye Rong properly from the start.
As for the future, Ye Jingxing believed that his eldest son would also not be so blind.
Later...
As long as Ye Mo's bloodline was suppressed for two to three generations, then in the future, no one would be able to remember their family. At most, they would become a small landlord, so there was no need to think about anything else.
Emperor Ruikang understood now, then the following matters would be easy to handle.
It was impossible to seal anything with Ye Jingche's identity, so the Emperor Ruikang ordered his funeral to be conducted in accordance with the Duke's standards in the end.
The courtiers and officials could not say anything about this.
After all, he was the son of the Emperor Ruikang, so he had to give him face.
As for Ye Rong, he was prepared to give his grandson proper instructions. While he was mourning, he would study hard, and after he gets filial piety, he would take the test and slowly promote him.
Of course, this was on the premise that Emperor Ruikang could live until then.
With regards to the arrangements and matters, it was getting late, the Emperor Ruikang thought that he was not feeling well, so he decided to leave the court.
However, he didn't expect that the moment he stood up from the dragon throne, he couldn't sit back down.
Seeing Emperor Ruikang get up from the Dragon Throne, in the next moment his body swayed and he was about to fall, not only the attendants who were waiting beside him, but even Ye Jingxing and Prince Duan who were closest to him were shocked.
Although the Prince Duan had already arranged for his trusted aides to invite the Head of the Main Hospital, he did not expect that his imperial brother would not be able to last long enough to return to his room.
Seeing that the Emperor Ruikang had fainted, the Prince Duan immediately ordered: ”Guards, seal the palace door.” After saying that, the Prince Duan looked at Ye Jingxing and said, ”Ol 'Five, you will personally wait by royal brother's side with this king.” After that, the Prince Duan personally passed the identity token that the Emperor Ruikang had bestowed to him, ordering him to be in charge of the palace's safety.
By the time Prince Duan had finished with his arrangements, the attendants had already carried him to the back hall under the indication of the head of the hospital.
Once Xu Shiqiu received the Prince Duan's trust and orders, naturally, they were immediately arranged.
He swept his eyes across the main hall and the courtiers and ministers, his gaze filled with killing intent. The main hall that was initially restless from Emperor Ruikang's sudden fainting immediately quietened down.
”Everyone heard what the Prince Duan said. Everyone should stay in the palace until His Majesty wakes up.” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then continued, ”I will arrange for the royal kitchen to bring some snacks and tea for everyone here. If it is convenient, I will need three people to accompany me and I will also personally arrange for a guard to accompany me before I can leave the great hall.”
After saying that, Xu Shiqiu suddenly looked at everyone in the hall and sneered: ”If someone has ulterior motives, don't blame the sword in this general's hand, I don't recognize anyone!” With that said, Xu Shiqiu unsheathed the sword at his waist. Whoosh.
This sword was not Xu Shiqiu's usual weapon. This was given to him by the Emperor Ruikang when he returned from the northern border years ago, allowing him to wear it in the palace.
Although swords were not commonly used, it was still possible to kill a person.
Every single person in the hall could feel the killing intent coming from Xu Shiqiu, so they naturally did not dare to have any small thoughts about him.
Even though they wanted to send a message out of the palace, they knew that it was impossible. After all, Xu Shiqiu was watching them.
Just as Xu Shiqiu was threatening the various ministers from the front hall, in the back hall, the hospital chief also looked at the Prince Duan and Ye Jingxing, shaking his head.
”This subject has already said before that it would be better to take good care of His Majesty's health and recuperate more carefully.” Right now, His Majesty doesn't spit out blood like last time, but his internal organs … ” At this point, the courtyard paused for the first time before continuing, ”I have two methods. This subject wrote a prescription and tried his best to feed the medicine to His Majesty. If His Majesty took the medicine, he would wake up in two days. After waking up, however, His Majesty would probably have no choice but to lie on his bed and recuperate. Perhaps he might be able to hold on for another six months or so. ”The other method is to use this subject's golden needles to prick his acupoints. His Majesty can wake up as soon as possible, but once that's the case, His Majesty will only have three months at most.”
With that said, Ye Jingxing turned to look at Prince Duan.
This way, he could take advantage of half a year's time to slowly take control of the imperial court. After all, the Royal Father was still here, so even if he was lying on the bed all the time, he could still instruct him.
But Ye Jingxing knew that the person who understood Royal Father's thoughts the most was probably his uncle.
Seeing Ye Jingxing looking over, the Prince Duan thought for a moment, then said to the Head of the Academy: ”With royal brother's temper, you definitely won't be able to remain lying on the bed without moving.” After saying that, the Prince Duan looked at the Head of the Guards and said decisively: ”I will have to trouble you to prick my acupoints, Eldest Brother.”
When the Prince Duan finished speaking, the Head of the Guards nodded at him.
Since the Prince Duan had spoken, he naturally would not hesitate.
Before piercing the needles on the Emperor Ruikang, the Head of the Guards thought absentmindedly. He did not know whether he could get the approval of the new Emperor after he ascended the throne or not.
It really wasn't easy doing this for the imperial physician.
