Chapter 264: The Son of Heaven is Sick
Many things in this world are originally man-made, and blessings and disasters are difficult to determine. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, in fact, it is just a thought of a person! If you want to develop on the good side, you naturally have a bright heart and are good for each other. And if the seeds of suspicion and doubt are planted first, then the flowers of evil will bloom in the future, and the cause and effect of life and death will be born.
However, there are very few people in this world who understand such truths. Therefore, the fate of some people has been doomed in the dark. Although, now the joy of escaping the catastrophe has temporarily suppressed some contradictions. But that doesn't mean that some emotions don't exist. Especially when such a young King Zhao was welcomed into the Zichen Palace with the most honorable etiquette, and did not come out all night, this was enough to cause some jealousy.
Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, who entered the Zichen Palace at twilight, did not come out all night. But contrary to the imagination and speculation of the outside world, the reason why he stayed for so long was not that Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, had so much to say to him, but that there were other things that were delayed.
In fact, the summons of the Son of Heaven in the dormitory only lasted for a stick of incense. There is no other reason, this old and frail son of heaven is really about to run out of oil and run out of lights. The reason why he held up his spirit and wanted to meet this young man was just to follow Zimmer's advice and form a good relationship for the descendants of the royal family.
Ji Yuan, who had not seen outsiders for several years, in the legends of many remote vassal states, those people thought that the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty had already died. They only knew about the existence of princes and kings, but they didn't know that there was such a son of heaven. In fact, it's no wonder that for ordinary people, this legendary ancient dynasty doesn't seem to have given them any favors. The people who hold the power of life and death of all living beings are the princes who rule over them. They are the masters of the world!
But in fact, Zhou Tianzi has always existed. At least in the hearts of the princes, many major events must be relied on in his name in order to be worthy of the name. And even among these princes distributed in the world, there are many people who have not seen the Son of Heaven for many years.
Therefore, there is no need for anyone to be jealous of Chu Jiangmian. In just one year, he was summoned twice by the Son of Heaven. Last time in the spring, he walked into Zichen Palace as the prince of the princes and received a sword from the Son of Heaven. And this time, what will he get?
No one in the outside world would ever have thought that Chu Jiangmian had not received any reward. All he got was a chance. An opportunity to see with your own eyes the treasure of the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. So much for!
“…… The widow is sick, and his life is short! Young man, if you can take care of the royal family's kindness in the future, take care of these future generations as much as possible. I hope that in the future, under the Yellow Spring, every festival sacrifice, the widows and the ancestors will also be able to receive some sacrifice money...... Hehe! ”
The lights in the palace are somewhat dim. The voice of the Son of Heaven Ji Yuan was weak and tired, he kept coughing, and his speech was intermittent. His sick body had been sustained for a long time. These days have been even more serious. The autumn sky is heavy and the cold is soaked in the bones. For a man in his twilight, this would have been a terrible ordeal.
It's quiet inside and outside the dormitory. Except for Ji Mo and Chu Jiangmian, only the Blood Shadow Leader Wang Jia was there. Hearing the desolate tone of the Son of Heaven, the two men fell silent and lowered their heads. And although Chu Jiangmian has only met the legendary Zhou Tianzi twice, all his understanding is just hearsay. But at this moment, I can't help but feel related.
It is said that it is cold in high places! Since ancient times, the sky is high and the scenery is overwhelming, and almost no one can really get a good death. And at the end of such a dynasty, the Son of Heaven, like Ji Yuan, who did not have much actual power from beginning to end, was just an empty name. He was able to live to such an age, and I am afraid that the humiliation he endured behind him was unimaginable to the world. And even so, if there is no strong protection from someone, it may not be easy for him to die properly.
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this. On the day of the death of the first king, he once specially held his hand and told him that honesty is indispensable. Respect the Son of Heaven, the duty of the princes. How dare I disobey his last words, whenever and wherever they are? What's more, the Son of Heaven and Mo Gong are very kind to the kid and treat them kindly...... I keep all these things in my heart, and I dare not forget them!"
Chu Jiangmian bowed down and replied, with a sincere attitude. He doesn't make any promises. Everything he is doing now is just to fulfill his promise to the former king Chu Lie, as well as his own observance of faith and righteousness in his heart. Therefore, every word and deed will be done.
Zimmer and Wang Jia couldn't help but show a look of relief on their faces. Since Chu Jiangmian personally made a promise in front of the Son of Heaven, with their understanding of this person, he would definitely keep his promise. From then on, with the full protection of the people of Zhao Guo, presumably the safety of Zhongzhou and Los Angeles will be guaranteed. At least it won't be like this time, when it was almost attacked and killed by those rebellious princes.
Ji Yuan was lying on the couch and wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, a violent cough made him bend up uncomfortably. This old man, who looked like a rotten wood, had a very hard time breathing.
Ji Mo's face changed, and he was about to call the waiter to come over and serve. Chu Jiangmian had already stretched out his hand, and without hesitation, he dragged the back of Ji Yuan's neck with the crook of his arm, and then gently smoothed his chest with the palm of his other hand. Where I started, it was skinny, and it didn't seem to have even a bit of meat.
As a foreign prince, such an act itself is already a great trespass. Wang Jia was about to step forward to stop it. Zimmer reached out to stop him. Wang Jia was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw that this Wang brother shook his head silently, and there seemed to be faint tears in the corners of his eyes in the dim light.
Don't say it, Chu Jiangmian's methods seem to be very effective. After a while, Ji Yuan spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in his throat, and let out a long sigh of relief, and his chest felt that it had not been so comfortable for a long time. He sighed slightly, looked sideways at the young man who was kneeling next to the sickbed, and saw the other party calmly wipe the phlegm from the corners of his mouth for him, then adjusted the height of the appropriate pillow, and helped him to lie down slowly.
"You...... You kid. Alas! ”
Ji Yuan's expression was slightly moved. The other party's careful action moved him at once. Not to mention that several royal sons are not successful, due to the constraints of various rules, they cannot fully express their ordinary family affection. This lonely old man has not felt such family care for a long time. Moreover, he could completely detect that there were no selfish distractions in Chu Jiangmian's clear eyes. His movements are like a nephew taking care of the elderly at home. This is exactly what Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, has never lacked for a long time.
"Your Majesty should pay attention to keep your emotions and relax your mind. The body will be a little better...... If necessary, I can leave a few prescriptions for the physicians in the royal court to use at their discretion. ”
Chu Jiangmian didn't say much, and he wouldn't make any promises casually. Although everything he did in Zichen Palace was out of his heart. But I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
If you prescribe medicine to the Son of Heaven casually, of course, not everyone dares to say it. This is a taboo that defies the condemnation of the world. If in those times when the royal power was at its peak, everything Chu Jiangmian did tonight would be enough to be killed several times!
Zimmer was silent. The stakes are high, and it's not something he can make casually. However, before he could say anything, Ji Yuan had already patted the back of Chu Jiangmian's hand with his thin hand. Said with a smile on him.
"You kid, you have a heart. I didn't expect you to know how to heal...... Hehe! Don't think about it, I believe in you. ”
For being commensurate with you and me like ordinary people, it is enough to express Ji Yuan's inner emotions. He nodded at Zimmer. Of course, Zimmer understood his intentions, and quickly nodded in agreement. In fact, deep down in his heart, he believed in Chu Jiangmian's ability very much, if he really had a way to delay Brother Wang's illness, it would certainly be the best.
In fact, according to Chu Jiangmian's shallow medical knowledge, he already knew very well that Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, was indeed terminally ill and had no power to return to heaven. At such an old age, it is already very good that he can persist until now. This Son of Heaven, who is criticized by the world, is likely to be supporting with his great perseverance, and he can delay his life as much as possible. After all, for the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was an absolute difference between the Son of Heaven living and dying. I am afraid that as soon as he breathes, he will immediately and truly perish.
With such a well-known truth, Chu Jiangmian naturally understands it very well. The reason why he wanted Ji Yuan's life to be extended as much as possible was out of pity from the bottom of his heart. On the other hand, of course, it is more for the sake of his own inconvenience and being known to outsiders. For Zhao Guo, who had just seized the initiative, the Son of Heaven certainly should not die at this time.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, most of the hour passed. Some of the things that should have been said had been said, and when Chu Jiangmian was about to get up and say goodbye, Ji Yuan, who was silent for a while, seemed to have suddenly made a decision. He beckoned.
"Go and call Childe! Other than that...... Xiao Mo, you take King Zhao to see the Jiuding in the Sheji Altar. ”
Hearing the order of the Son of Heaven, Ji Mo, the younger brother of the king who was called "Xiao Mo", had a flash of brilliance in his eyes. He immediately understood in his heart the meaning of Brother Wang's doing.
So, half a quarter of an hour later, the prince who had been used by the small princes as an excuse to attack Los Angeles came in a hurry. Just in front of the couch of Ji Yuan, the Son of Heaven, he solemnly entrusted his youngest son to Chu Jiangmian.
"King Zhao, from today onwards, let him follow you...... If the Great Zhou royal family is doomed, I hope he will be where the remnants are. ”
Before he finished speaking, Gongzi Jie had already knelt on the ground, crying.
