Chapter 162: Death
Next to the octagonal pavilion is a lake pond, the lake surface is dense withered lotus rhizomes, the scenery of spring and summer should be very beautiful, but at this time there is only a ruined image, the cold wind blows coldly, the whimpering sound is a little harsh, the clothes are blown up, Liu Chengyou seems to be unconscious.
At this time, Liu Chengxun, although he smiled gently, was completely different from the feeling he brought to Liu Chengyou on weekdays, and the feeling of weakness disappeared. The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, and Liu Chengyou shook his head and said, "What nonsense did the eldest brother say?" ”
"My mind is clear, and I have never been more sober than I have ever been." The smile on Liu Chengxun's face subsided a little, and he sighed: "Probably, it's because people are dying......
frowned involuntarily, Liu Chengyou was expressionless, still staring at Liu Chengxun: "Parents and brothers are looking forward to the eldest brother's speedy recovery, why is the eldest brother so depressed?" ”
"My body, I know it myself. Although the imperial doctor said it vaguely, I knew that there was no cure from the medicine stone. Liu Chengxun said calmly, his voice was low: "Take a step first, tired of your parents mourning, and not being able to serve them in the future is a sin for the son of man." ”
"Still, there's you and Saburo." Liu Chengxun smiled introvertedly, but his face was full of calmness.
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou didn't speak, still observing Liu Chengxun, and guessing in his heart what the purpose of his search for himself was.
"Ahem!" Excited by the cold wind, Liu Chengxun couldn't help coughing heavily a few times, picked up the wine glass on the case, and wanted to send it to his mouth. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou directly reached out and pressed him: "Big brother's body, it's inconvenient to drink." ”
With Liu Chengxun's strength at this time, he was naturally pressed to death by Liu Chengyou, unable to move, simply did not struggle, shook his head, and looked at Liu Chengyou with clear eyes: "Erlang, come and drink a few glasses with me, this may be the last time our two brothers will drink together." ”
At this time, Liu Chengxun can be described as free and easy, and under his gaze, Liu Chengyou slowly let go of his hand.
Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Liu Chengxun's mouth bloomed again, and he personally poured a cup for Liu Chengyou and gestured to him. Liu Chengyou made a numb face and raised his glass accordingly.
"Ahem......" took a sip of wine, Liu Chengxun was obviously choked badly, his face was swollen and red, but there was no pain in his eyes.
"Erlang should know that I rarely drank alcohol in the past, but since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I have liked the things in this cup. Want to know why? Liu Chengxun said as he picked up the wine jug.
was snatched by Liu Chengyou, poured it for him, and poured it for himself. The sound of the wine entering the glass was very clear, and it was still steaming, but he did not answer Liu Chengxun's meaning.
He could see that Liu Chengxun was looking for himself to complain......
"You're still like that!" Liu Chengxun didn't care, took a sip of wine, the flush on his face deepened, and said to himself: "Borrow wine to eliminate your sorrows." Where does the sorrow come from, since Erlang you. ”
"Erlang, do you know that since the founding ......of the Han Dynasty, my brother has been envious and jealous of you" Liu Chengxun had a calm mentality, and said to Liu Chengyou: "I heard that you are in charge of the army, and you have made great achievements, and you have beaten the Khitan, and your fame has shocked the world, and the army has been subdued. In my heart, it doesn't taste good. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Chengxun smiled again, laughing bitterly, and a little ashamed: "As a brother, he actually has jealousy, hostility, and suppression for his younger brother!" ”
Hearing Liu Chengxun say this, seeing his remorseful look, Liu Chengyou's expression finally changed, which made him a little ashamed......
The corners of his mouth twitched, and Liu Chengyou said something that was not nutritious: "Big brother, you drank too much." ”
It's just two glasses of wine.
Tightening the robe tightly wrapped around his body, Liu Chengxun drank another glass of wine, his eyes were a little foggy, and he said faintly: "Erlang, I actually know that you want to be the prince." ”
Glancing at Liu Chengyou, seeing that he was holding a wine glass, his face was not moved in the slightest, Liu Chengxun continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've always regarded it as a thing in my bag as the heir. Until, Erlang, you rose in the ranks. ”
"Actually, I am also self-aware, too weak, soft-hearted, hesitant to act, and I am not the king of troubled times. And now this world is the world of martial artists. The raw material thinks, the world collapses, it is the people's hearts that are in turmoil, and they want to be influenced by benevolence and virtue, and they can clean up the hearts of the people, so that the world can be peaceful. However, it is only now that I slowly understand that without the support of force, how can benevolence enter the hearts of the people! ”
"After entering Bian, the group asked for the crown prince, and for a while, I wanted to take the initiative to resign and give the position of the prince directly to Erlang." Liu Chengxun gradually said that he was interested, and took another sip of wine: "However, there is a trace of expectation in my heart, hoping that our brothers can work together to protect the Han River......"
"Haha! In fact, I just can't bear the position of the crown prince, that's a half-king, and I can inherit the Han dynasty in the future...... cough cough cough ......" said Liu Chengxun coughed violently a few times, coughing and laughing, his smile was full of ridicule of his "hypocrisy".
"Seeing that you are in the army, your influence is increasing day by day, and someone advised me to prepare early."
"Is it Yang Wei?" Liu Chengyou finally took the initiative to speak.
Hearing this, Liu Chengxun covered his chest, his expression gradually calmed down, he thought about it, his face was right, but he looked at him again, and said to Liu Chengyou: "Erlang, although today's big man has calmed down, but in fact, there are internal and external troubles. The countries in the south are divided, there is a Khitan blood feud in the north, the provinces and prefectures have ghosts, and the hearts of the people in the world are far from being attached to the Han Dynasty. Of course, what is more important is that above the court, there are many veterans who are rampant, get carried away, compete for power and profit, and become greedy and amassive......"
Hearing Liu Chengxun say this, Liu Chengyou's expression softened, but his eldest brother could see it clearly.
"The country is grass-roots, the economy is initially structured, and everything is based on the stability of the community. However, with the efforts of my father and you, I think that the ills that have been born will be eliminated sooner or later. Liu Chengxun used a tone to explain the aftermath and warned Liu Chengyou: "Erlang, I look at your actions, too cold, too strong, too tough, in this troubled world, you should use heavy codes, but blindly doing this, after all, it is not a good thing." In the future, we should be political, kill less, and have a more forgiving heart, and we need to know that the strength of the army is only temporary after all, and only by convincing people can the country achieve long-term peace and stability......"
Liu Chengxun's eyes gradually became confused, seeing that he actually taught the way to govern the country, Liu Chengyou's heart was a little weird.
"Erlang, you have to promise me one thing!" Suddenly, Liu Chengyou looked at Liu Chengyou expectantly.
"You...... Say. Liu Chengyou's eyes flashed with suspicion.
"In the future, leave Yang Wei alive!" Liu Chengxun said faintly: "Yang Wei is a minister of the Han Dynasty, who is good at government officials, but he doesn't know the general situation, he is tyrannical in politics, and there will be contradictions between him and you, which cannot be reconciled. But he is only a Wenchen after all, and he is definitely not your opponent. I just hope that you will be more patient when you clear these ministers in the Han Dynasty, and don't be too ruthless, they are the heroes of the country after all......"
"Big brother, you're joking." Liu Chengyou said softly.
"You have to promise me!" Liu Chengxun grabbed Liu Chengyou's hand.
At this time, Liu Chengxun's thinking seemed to be a little disordered, but his eyes were very bright. Looking at him expectantly, Liu Chengyou nodded gently.
Liu Chengxun's body relaxed, raised his slightly trembling hand to take the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and the interest on his face came again, looking at Liu Chengyou with interest: "Erlang, you tell me the truth, have you ever thought about seizing the crown prince by force?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's eyes flew through a stunned look, looked back at Liu Chengxun, and replied very simply: "No!" ”
Liu Chengxun kept paying attention to Liu Chengyou's expression, and when he heard his answer, he smiled: "I believe you!" ”
"Erlang, do you remember when you were in Jinyang......"
Next, Liu Chengxun was broken and thoughtful, saying some of the past things that Liu Chengyou "didn't remember", moving with feelings and sincere feelings, which made Liu Chengyou a little moved. Until then, Liu Chengxun couldn't bear the cold.
When he left the Wei Palace, Liu Chengyou's mood was a little heavy for no reason. In fact, Liu Chengxun's words didn't have such a big impact on him, but he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
At the same time, he also knew that Liu Chengxun would definitely not survive this winter.
......
In the twelfth year of Tianfu, the twentieth month of winter, the night, the rain and the wood. On this bleak rainy night, the king of Wei of the Han Dynasty and the Yin Liu Chengxun of Kaifeng Mansion.
Emperor Liu Zhiyuan was so mournful that he fainted, abolished the dynasty for three days, and ordered the whole city of Tokyo to be dressed in linen and filial piety for Liu Chengxun. With Liu Chengxun's wisdom in the world, the people of Tokyo miss him a lot.
