In the 25th year of the Chinese era, the 25th year of the first emperor.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace.

An old man with a wrinkled head and white hair was lying on the bed, beside him, there was an attendant, and a woman with the same white hair, next to the old woman, was a young man in his thirties, wearing a crown, quietly next to the old woman, looking at the old man in front of him.

Outside the hall, countless ministers knelt on the ground, looking nervously at the palace.

An old general was helped to come over, and his mouth was still talking about let me see the king, let me see the king.

A few people had nothing to do to support the gray-haired old general, for fear that he would have a little accident.

The old man was still unconscious, and the old woman next to him could no longer cry, and the woman sat next to the old man who was unconscious on the bed, crying.

The man with the crown stepped forward and tried to comfort the old woman, but suddenly he didn't know what to say

A person next to him who didn't think much about the person with the crown stepped forward and comforted: "Queen Mother, don't cry, my father and Emperor Ji have a natural appearance, so they will naturally survive this catastrophe." ”

The old woman sobbed and said, "Since the beginning of the year, your father's health has deteriorated, and now, ah~~" Tears welled up again.

The people in the temple looked at this man from the morning to the afternoon, and those outside the temple knelt down until the afternoon.

No one complained, and they only had endless adoration for this man lying on the bed.

"Ahem, ahem." The person on the bed twitched violently, and the old woman next to him hurriedly patted the old man on the chest when he saw this.

After a long while, the old man on the bed eased up, and his eyes looked at the person next to him vaguely.

His mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but because of his health, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

After a long time, he spit out a few words: "Help me up, help ...... I...... I...... Get up! ”

Although the voice was small, every word was clear, and although the old woman next to her did not want the old man's body to be changed, she knew that she couldn't resist him, so she could only help him up.

After some wasted effort, the old man was helped up and sat on the bed against the cabinet behind him, and turned his head to look at the person next to him.

Asked: "What about the prime minister?" ”

The old woman was speechless with sobs, and the man with the crown next to her replied, "Prime Minister Huang Xie Lisi is outside the palace." ”

The old man sighed and said, "What about Prime Minister Qu Yuan?" ”

The man with the crown held the old man's bed and said, "Your Majesty, you are confused, Prime Minister Qu Yuan was no longer there last year. ”

After speaking, the old man was stunned, tears rolled in his eyes, and after a long time, he said: "I'm confused, the prime minister is gone, the prime minister is gone, I'm confused." ”

The old man repeated these two sentences, and the people next to him looked at him with a general taste in their hearts.

"What about the General?" The old man asked again, "I remember that he led the army to quell the rebellion in the south a few days ago. ”

No one in the temple answered him, and it was unusually quiet.

After a long time, the man wearing the crown laughed bitterly, and tears could not help but flow, crossed his cheeks, and fell to the ground drop by drop.

"Bai Qi, too," the old man paused, and said uncomfortably, "It's all gone, I'm going to see them too, hahaha, this day, after all, it's here." ”

"Your Majesty is talking nonsense!" The old woman on the side said dissatisfiedly.

"What don't you dare to say?" The old man coughed, covered his chest, and said slowly, "Death is not terrible, I am also a human being, I am not a god, and I will not seek immortality, I will die, and my life is worth it." ”

"Xiong'er!" The old man called the young man with the crown on his head.

The young man stepped forward and said respectfully, "Father, the son is here, what do you command?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly a few times and said, "It's all now, what else do you have to say, I just want to explain a few things to you." Stand down, all of you. As he spoke, he told the chamberlains to stand down, and there were three people in the whole dormitory: the old man, the old woman, and the young man.

The old man got up from the bed, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said, "Since I inherited the throne of the Great Chu, I have always liked to use force to solve these problems, and I have also earned the name of a tyrant, but it is a troubled time, and the troubled times are heavily punished. But now that the world is peaceful, don't use force to solve these problems, otherwise, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms will rebel, and you will not be able to do it at that time. ”

"Also, you must always remember that you are the king of the people of the world, you have to think about the people of the world, and if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, you also understand this truth, you should be the king, you must think about the people of the world, and all policies that benefit the country and the people are the best policies."

The young man on the side nodded and said, "Erchen will definitely abide by it!" ”

The old man looked at the old woman and said, "When I chased your mother, your mother was so beautiful, but now that she is old, she still hasn't changed, and she has brought disaster to the country and the people." ”

I couldn't help but laugh as I spoke.

The old woman punched him hard and said, "When are you still joking here, it's not good to rest." ”

The old man smiled innocently and said, "At this time, I won't live long, three days at most, after I am gone, you treat your mother well, don't make her sad, I don't want to see her sad." ”

Tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped on the bed, and the old woman beside her also cried in a low voice, saying, "You are talking nonsense! ”

The old man forced a smile and said, "I really don't want to see you cry, otherwise, after I go down, don't shed tears, live well, and enjoy the rest of your life, I'm afraid that the alliance between heaven and earth with you will not be realized, I am going to leave,,,"

The old woman took the old man's hand while wiping away her tears, and said, "You too too will live!" ”

The old man took the old woman's hand and said to the young man, "My time is running out, you, take care of this great Chu for me." I have entrusted the Great Chu to you completely, and you will guard the territory of the Great Chu for me! Protect the people of Dachu Deli! ”

The old man couldn't hold it back any longer, tears flowed down his eyes, and he said with difficulty: "I, in this life, it's worth it, I'm gone, I'm optimistic about Da Chu and your queen mother." ”

After speaking, he looked up into the distance, and the young man and the old woman looked in the direction of the old man, but they saw nothing, and when they turned back, they saw that the old man's eyes had dimmed.

"Xiong Huai!" The old woman fell to the ground and said in horror.

The young man knelt on the ground, supported the old woman with his left hand, and said word by word: "Son, I would like to send your majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty is dead!" The voice of the chamberlain reached the outside, and all the ministers knelt down one after another.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

In the dark, an old man appeared in front of Xiong Huai and asked, "If you were asked to choose again, would you still go like this?" ”

Xiong Huai smiled and said, "It should be so!" ”

With that, he fell into a black gate.
