At this juncture, it is crucial to hold a ceremony to worship heaven and pray for blessings on behalf of the emperor.

This showed the emperor's attitude.

Although Li Hongyuan is already the prince, it is still unknown whether he can take over this position.

What Lin Shimo taught Wen Zan successfully made the emperor agree to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings.

And King Zhao hasn't come back yet, so the only candidate is the prince.

Sure enough, the next day, the emperor issued an order through the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Cabinet, asking the prince to offer sacrifices to heaven for his father to pray for good fortune.

The Ministry of Rites and Dali Temple began to get busy.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the heaven-sacrifice ceremony was held at the Temple of Heaven.

On the twenty-seventh of the next day, it snowed heavily.

The courtiers and the people all clapped their hands and praised, praising the kindness of the king and father, and the wiseness of our prince.

The emperor wore a robe and stayed in Jinxiu Palace for half a day, and then went to Fengning Palace for half a day. No one knew what he did in Jinxiu Palace or what he said to the queen in Fengning Palace.

Returning to Feishuang Palace in the evening, the emperor caught a cold and sneezed a few times. After the imperial doctor came to diagnose his pulse, he prescribed a prescription, but the emperor refused to take the medicine.

He took a kind of elixir and said that after the new year, he would pass the throne to the prince, and he would retreat to Xiaoling Mountain to practice.

The emperor actually wanted to practice Taoism.

When the news came out, all the ministers were worried and went to the cabinet to seek advice from the bachelors.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Jiang Ruobai is not in the cabinet.

He is at the emperor's.

He looked at the emperor in black robes and frowned: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? I don't understand."

"Your Majesty, the ancients said that seventy years are rare in human life. I am already very old!"

Ruxian is Jiang Ruobai.

Only elders can call him by his name. At his status, there are very few people who can call him by his name.

Outsiders call him Jiang Xiang, and the emperor will follow everyone's call.

Jiang Ruobai had not heard the emperor call him this for many years. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his eyes became a little wet, and he whispered: "Your Majesty is still young."

"It's coming soon." The emperor closed his eyes, "My health has not been well since last year. This year, I have relied on elixirs to support me. You know this."

Jiang Ruobai said: "Your Majesty, these elixirs... it is useless to take them too much."

The so-called elixir in the emperor's mouth was nothing more than balls made from cinnabar and other herbs.

"I don't have many days left anyway." The emperor said calmly, "Since Zhuzhu left me, I always have a feeling that it won't be long before I can see her again."

Jiang Ruobai couldn't help but shed tears: "Your Majesty, the deceased is gone. Please express my condolences."

"I always want to see her again."

The emperor waved his hand a little tiredly, "I'm tired. The Chinese New Year will be here in two days. After the fifteenth day, let the prince take care of things. I want to take a rest."

Jiang Ruobai was shocked in her heart and fell to the ground: "Master, take the order."

He walked out of Feishuang Palace, looked at the flying snow in the sky, and closed his eyes.

One era will eventually end, and another era will eventually come.

Returning to the cabinet, Jiang Ruobai ignored the anxious ministers. After discussing with the other four cabinet ministers, he went to see the prince.

Li Hongyuan was playing chess with Lin Shimo in the snow hut by the lake.

They were wrapped in thick fox fur coats and sat on both sides of the stone table, like statues.

Jiang Ning, who was wrapped up tightly, only showing her bright and pretty face, stood on the side of the snow lu, holding a fishing rod in her hand, fishing from an ice hole on the lake.

Jiang Ruobai stopped and looked for a moment before walking forward.
