"Ah Lang, there is a guest at the back door."

"Oh?"

Fan Zhen got up in his clothes, took the post, pondered for a long time, and said: "Tea in the inner study." ”

"No."

Fan Zhen cleaned his hands and face a little under the service of his old wife, changed into his usual clothes, and then went to the study. Although he is the head of a hundred officials, he is upright and upright, and has no other livelihood except for his fortune, so his family is very frugal.

This house is still unbearable when Guo Rong personally came to visit the mansion, and it was given by the emperor.

When he came to the inner study, the person who came had already arrived, and he saluted from afar, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Pu, who was born late, has seen Fan Xiang." ”

Fan Zhen nodded and entered the room first, "Visiting late at night, what's the matter?" ”

"It's just for two people."

"Oh?"

Zhao Pu bent down on the chair with a slightly humble body, and said softly: "There is news from the palace that the Holy Lord intends to add two new rulers. ”

Fan Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhao Pu said to himself: "One is Li Tao, the former ruler of the dynasty, and the other is the old man of the domain. ”

Fan Zhen smiled: "This is a good thing, both of them are great talents, and it is the best if the political hall can add new people." ”

"I think that this thing is the worst, Li Tao is indifferent, the king is debauched, how can he have the body of a heavy minister."

Fan Zhen sneered, only tapped his fingers on the coffee table, but did not speak, Li Tao misbehaved, the saint has always been evil, how can he use his appearance, but it is possible that Wang Shu is .......

Zhao Pu also sneered in his heart, although you are proud of the ministers, but who doesn't know that you are deeply afraid of that young man who is good at drinking.

"The single father is far away from Beijing...... You can't let a drunkard mess around in the temple. ”

Fan Zhen served the tea, took a sip, and Fang sneered: "I didn't expect that a judge from Xuzhou would also care about the affairs of the court." ”

"The humble does not dare to forget the country, when this storm is turbulent, those who are not good for the country, as courtiers, should always pay attention and admonish."

"What a brave and loyal, turn out all the words in your heart."

"Pu came to visit late at night this time, and there was nothing else to do, but I found that since he returned from Lanzhou, Zhang Dianshuai's behavior was very abnormal, and the lower officials were worried about ......"

Fan Zhiliang was silent for a long time, until the lantern jumped, and then he said astringently: "Reply to your family's handsome, just say that the old man knows." ”

Zhao Puqiang pressed the ecstasy in his heart, bowed and retreated.

……

On June 12, Guo Rong's spirit was not good, and he summoned Sanzai Zhi in the dormitory.

"I will die soon, who will I entrust to this world?"

"The saint is prosperous for thousands of years, why do you say this......"

"Here today, there are only four kings and ministers, and there are no attendants or living notes, just talk about it."

Silence.

Fan Zhen saw that Guo Rong's face on the sickbed was blue, his shriveled lips were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and his two eye sockets had sunken in, knowing that his life would not be long, he took a long breath and said loudly: "The eldest son of the emperor is already seven years old, and he will be able to become a mature man in a few years. ”

"Minister Wang Pu seconded the proposal."

"Minister Wei Renpu seconded."

Guo Rong nodded slightly: "What's the strategy?" ”

"In troubled times, in the army, in the army, in the maintenance of stability, and the division of military power, can there be long-term peace."

"How about I plan to let Baoyi and Yisheng continue to be in charge of the forbidden army?"

“……”

"Just say it, I have my own measure."

Seeing that Wang Pu and Wei Renpu were silent, Fan Zhen had no choice but to speak: "When the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, the ministers are not attached, and the powerful ministers and nobles are the most ...... Even if they have no intentions, there are always people who can't bear to be lonely and have bad intentions. ”

“…… I...... Got it. ”

Guo Rong took a deep breath and asked, "The front division of the palace, the division of the guards, who is suitable?" ”

"The military aircraft is a major event, but with the Holy Judgment, the ministers can only cooperate with each other, and only ask the Holy Lord to focus on maintaining stability, and never make major adjustments."

Guo Rong closed his eyes and bowed slightly.

……

On June 14, Zhao Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde made a pilgrimage.

"I'm dying."

"Holy ......"

Guo Rong waved his hand lightly, motioning for the two to sit and talk.

"I now understand the difficulties of my father, who will hand over the country that has been laid down through all kinds of hardships?"

Guo Rong supported his body with his elbows and wanted to sit up a little, Li Chongjin hurriedly stepped forward to help, Zhang Yongde also helped to raise the pillow, Guo Rong gasped, glanced at Zhang Yongde, and sighed lightly: "It's a pity ......"

Zhang Yongde was full of shame and didn't dare to raise his head again.

Li Chongjin sat on the edge of the couch, holding Guo Rong's hand and said: "Gentleman, brothers are of the same heart, don't say anything else, as long as there is a certain breath, Zong Xun will sit on the dragon chair and be fine." ”

Guo Rong's hand tightened slightly, and he sighed: "I'm going to entrust you." ”

"The third brother understands, I will return to Yangzhou in the next two days."

Zhang Yongde said with tears in his eyes: "But it depends on the arrangement of the saint." ”

"Remember the words of the third brother, brothers are of the same heart, we are a family."

"No."

After the two left the hall, their expressions were different, one panting, and the other was depressed.

At the end of the afternoon, Song Jiuzhong entered the pilgrimage alone.

On the sickbed, Guo Rong leaned sideways and looked at the big man who was kneeling on the ground, for a long time, for a long time, "I will not be alive soon, in this world, the young son has weak shoulders and can't afford it, how can I be good?" ”

"Holy ...... The Holy Lord's Spring and Autumn Peak ......"

"The young son has weak shoulders and can't afford it, how is it good?"

“…… The ministers will be faithful and assist, and they will rest until death. ”

Guo Rong bowed slightly: "Back then, you were just a small guard, I asked the emperor to ask for it, but Wang Wenbo once persuaded you, you have a tiger's back and a bear's waist, thick and wide eyebrows, but your eyes are white and black, and you clearly look like a broken army sitting in the palace, a ruthless and forgetful person, and you can't be sovereign......"

Song Jiuzhong's hands on the ground quietly turned into fists.

"However, I don't think so, as long as I have merit to the country, how can I judge people because of their appearance, I have been frank all my life, I don't doubt when I use people, and I don't need to use suspicious people, these past few years...... You've done a great job and lived up to my expectations. ”

"The grace of the saint knows the encounter, and the minister can only repay it with his liver and brain."

Guo Rong sighed lightly: "Remember today's words, go down." ”

……

On June 15, Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, Han Tong, Song Jiuzhong, Wu Yanzuo, Zan Jurun, Zhang Mei and the emperor's eldest son, Zong Xun, were summoned to the pilgrimage.

Guo Rong leaned sideways, first summoned Zong Xun to the bed, took his hand, and then looked at the civil and military ministers kneeling on the ground, for a long time, for a long time, "Xun'er is young, it is difficult to take on a heavy responsibility, I hope that you will do your best to assist." ”

Fan Zhen took a long breath and said loudly: "Minister Fan Zhen, I will do my best to assist the prince, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder." ”

"The minister Wang Pu must be loyal to assist the prince, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder."

"Minister Wei Renpu, he must be loyal to assist the prince, if he violates this oath, the sky will thunder."

"The minister Li Chongjin will be loyal to assist the prince, if he violates this oath, the sky will thunder."

"Minister Zhang Yongde, he must be loyal to assist the prince, if he violates this oath, the sky will thunder."

"Minister Han Tong, he must be loyal to assist the prince, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder."

"The minister Song Jiuzhong, he must be loyal to the prince, if he violates this oath, the sky will thunder."

……

Guo Rong bowed his head lightly and said to Zongxun: "Kneel down and kowtow to the elders." ”

"No ......"

Guo Rong closed his eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he said softly: "This time, let." ”

On this day, the edict is:

Zaichen Fan Zhen and Wang Pu also consulted the Privy Council.

With Wei Renpu as the Zhongshu Shilang and Ping Zhangshi, he served as a privy envoy according to the former.

……

On the night of June 18, he summoned Sanzai to the sickbed.

"Wang's book...... Why not for so long? ”

"He should be on the road, he is a scholar, and his feet are not strong......"

Guo Rong sighed leisurely: "I am like a great trip...... Can supplement the king's book as a Chinese book...... For you...... Share government affairs. ”

"No."

In front of the sickbed, Guo Rong waved everyone away, leaving only Fu Erniang alone.

"I ...... The most regretted ...... is to marry you, and after the seal, it is not glory, but tribulation, and it has afflicted you......"

Fu Erniang had already burst into tears, but she forced a smile, held the pale hand, gently wiped the foam from her lips, and said softly: "Not bitter, not bitter, Zongxun is my sister's child, and my child, he is our ......."

"Well, if God could give me more time...... How nice ......"

……

On June 19, the emperor collapsed in the Hall of Long Life, and the holy life was thirty-nine.

June 20, the posthumous system, Liang Wang Zongxun in front of the emperor's throne, the service of the month and the day of the year is still the system.

On that day, the ministers were located in the east of the palace, and the Chinese and foreign mourned.

It is said that Emperor Ruiwu Xiaowen, the temple name is Sejong.
