Inside and outside the station, it was snow-white.

Zhong Chang led the county officials, standing outside the post station, bowing his head, mourning the deceased warrior, almost all the officials of all sizes arrived, crowded the entire street, their faces were sad, all of them lowered their heads, and a few sobbed in a low voice, most of the original people, they did not know Hua Xiong, nor did they know Hua Xiong's death, when they found that almost all the officials of Zhangye were standing here to mourn, they only understood that there were nobles left.

Zhangye people revere ghosts and gods, and generally don't dare to approach such a place, for fear of something filthy entangled with them, but there are always good things, the curiosity in my heart overcomes fear, and I came cautiously, and whispered to the soldiers I knew to ask about the situation, these guards are to protect the many officials who came to mourn, and when an acquaintance asked, the soldiers whispered: "My Zhangye was born in the palace to report the death of Duke Hua..."

Hearing the words of the soldiers, these good deeds were stunned for a long time, this words, quickly spread in the county, everywhere were whispering, not long after, hundreds of people came around, spontaneously for this virtuous sage, crying, these people are particularly sad, which makes more people come out of curiosity, to find out.

"What happened?"

"Hua Gong is gone!"

"Hua Gong? Which Hua Gong? ”

"It's our servant, I visited him a few days ago, and I was a neighbor with him, but I didn't expect him to leave like this!"

"I also know him, we used to study together in the official school when we were young!"

"Hua Gong!!"

The whole post station was full of crying, Guan Yu stood in the distance, he didn't get close to this post station, he didn't dare to go in, he didn't dare to see Dong Bai, he took Hua Xiong away, but he couldn't send Hua Xiong in good condition, he didn't dare to hear the heart-rending cry, let alone face Dong Bai's questioning, the panic in his heart made him not even able to face Hua Xiong's body, and looking at the more and more people outside the post station, Guan Yu sighed and turned to leave.

....

In the Hall of Virtue,

Liu Xi and Xun Yu sat facing each other, after Xun Yu arrived, Liu Xi was very happy, when Xun Yu was there, Liu Xi handed over most things directly to the service Zhongtai, and he didn't bother much, after he went to Jingzhou, Liu Xi realized the importance of Xun Yu to him, these days, he checked the recitals all day and night, and reviewed the content of the decree, which made Liu Xi lose a lot of weight.

Now, Xun Yu has finally arrived, and Liu Xi can breathe a sigh of relief.

"This month, many state pastors have also arrived at the office, Kong Ming and Zhong Da, and tomorrow are about to leave...", Liu Xi said, pursed his lips, and said: "At this time, Xun Gong's performance may be a little late, but I will still seriously consider it..."

"Well, Your Majesty, don't you have to go to Sikong?"

"Not necessarily."

Liu Xi said, looking down at Xun Yu's recital, after Sikong decided to govern the place with the state pastor and remove the thorn history, Xun Yu also quickly came up with his own plan, the thorn history is to play a supervisory role in the local area on weekdays, if the thorn history is canceled, it is natural to start from other aspects, Xun Yu's purpose is naturally to find a way to replace the inspection role of the thorn history, in addition, to find a way to strictly control the state pastor.

These things, Xun Yu naturally can't take them to the court to say, the Son of Heaven has special trust in local officials, how can he restrict them again? can only find the Son of Heaven in private, and then talk about these things, Liu Xi also understands what Xun Yu said in his heart, but he does not want to implement the state pastoral system for too long, and now it is just to be able to greatly improve the national strength in a short period of time and get ready.

Liu Xi's ambition is not just a guishuang, his ambition needs to be more fully prepared to be realized.

Therefore, he did not pay much attention to this aspect, after all, as long as he was in power, there would be no turmoil within ten years, and there was no urgency for the supervision of the state pastor, which would be removed anyway.

From the words of the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu probably understood his thoughts, so he didn't mention this matter again, the two were chatting, suddenly, Qi Yue hurriedly entered the Houde Hall and bowed to the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Panicked, but what happened?" ”

"The country... Country... Zhangye urgent! Qi Yue raised the watch in his hand above his head, lowered his head, bent over, and walked to the side of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xi picked up the urgent report from him, couldn't it be that Huaxiong was making trouble there again?

Xun Yu was a little puzzled, sitting opposite the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi looked at the watch in his hand, his expression gradually became sluggish, stunned, confused, painful, sad, the face of the Son of Heaven changed, and even the hands holding the watch trembled slightly, "Your Majesty? What happened? Your Majesty? Xun Yu shouted, Liu Xi was still sluggish, as if he hadn't heard his call, which made Xun Yu a little worried.

"Your Majesty?"

Xun Yu called again, Liu Xi woke up, he raised his head, took a deep breath, tears flashed in his eyes, and finally, he spoke, his voice trembled a little.

"Uncle Hua is gone... The day before yesterday, I walked. ”

"What?!" Xun Yu was taken aback, and similarly, he couldn't believe it, Huaxiong's body, hasn't he always been very good? He always looks like he is in his forties, why did he leave all of a sudden?

"Hasn't he been fine all the time... How could it be..."

"Xun Gong... I want to be alone for a while..."Liu Xi shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Xun Yu slowly stood up, said a word of condolences, and walked out of the Houde Palace, Liu Xi raised his head, looked at Qi Yue, and said: "You go out with you, I will call you again if I have something...", Qi Yue nodded, followed Xun Yu, and left the Houde Hall together, after everyone left, Liu Xi slowly slumped on the Hu chair, covering his chest with his hands, but the tears could not be stopped anymore, he raised his head and opened his mouth wide, but he was crying silently.

Liu Xi locked himself in the Houde Hall and stayed for a whole day.

Don't eat or drink, finally, Qi Yue and others had no choice but to alarm the queen, the queen heard the bad news, and sighed again and again, she knew in her heart that Liu Xi cared about this Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong's relationship with him may be closer than Sima Yi Zhuge Liang, she took the prince and hurried to the Houde Palace, the door of the Houde Hall was not locked, but no one dared to enter.

The queen held the child and broke directly into the Houde Palace.

Liu Xi hung his head, covered his face with his hands, and sat on the Hu chair.

"Your Majesty?"

Lv Hou asked, Liu Xi slowly raised his head, his face was full of tears, he looked at the door, and said: "Close the door...", Lv Hou hurriedly went to close the door again, and sat beside him carefully, the little guy was in the arms of his mother, and when he saw his father, he was about to throw himself into his father's arms, Liu Xi smiled and hugged the little guy in his arms, and Lu Hou looked at him worriedly, and said: "Your Majesty, Hua Gong is over seventy years old, it is a joy and mourning, not so..."

"Seventy?"

"yes.. A long life and a good death is a joy and mourning. ”

"Queen, don't you know, from childhood to adulthood, all the people I love have abandoned me one by one, and my parents, teachers, relatives and friends have completely left... I don't understand why God is so kind to me... I buried my head in the case, and when I looked up, I was already alone..."

"Your Majesty, there is still me, and Changling, and my aunt, and Ah Hu... Why did Your Majesty say that? ”

"All I want now is... I left before you... Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. ”

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!!"

.......

The news of Hua Xiong's death finally reached Luoyang, the ministers of the court heard it, and they didn't know how, anyway, their faces were still extremely sad, and many people went to his mansion to mourn, but unfortunately, his mansion was empty, Situ Gong was eating porridge, from the mouth of the customer on the side, he was stunned for a long time, sighed, and was not in the mood to continue to eat porridge.

Zhuge Liang was the same, when he heard the news, he stood in the front yard, raised his head, looked at the sky, and didn't say anything for a long time.

In the mansion of the newspaper, there was even more crying, these people get along with Hua Xiong all day long, know Hua Xiong's personality, Hua Xiong treats them very kindly, and when they learn of Hua Xiong's death, these people are sad and extremely painful.

Xun Yu who came out of the Houde Palace, stayed at home all day, for the local policy, he faintly had some clues, but could not go deeper, and stayed for another day, his heart was particularly troubled, even that trace of thought seemed to dissipate, Xun Yu was helpless, brought some wine from the house, and went out of the house, the slave was supposed to prepare a car, but Xun Yu was also refused, Xun Yu walked through the street on foot, as for the front of Shangshu Mansion.

Walking into the Shangshu Mansion, the officials got up one after another to pay respects.

These people all know him, and Xun Yu often comes here.

Cao Chong, who was in the office, saw Xun Yu walking in, and hurriedly trotted and walked to his side, "Meet Xun Gong!" "Hmm...", Xun Yu nodded, Cao Chong lowered his voice, and said: "Xun Gong, Guo Gong has been in the inner courtyard all day and has never gone out, we are all a little worried, but we were all blown out by him, he is a little weird, we have no way, I am about to send someone to find you..."

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, carried the wine jug, and walked into the inner courtyard of Shangshu Mansion.

Under a big willow tree, Guo Jia sat comfortably, in front of him, there were two glasses of wine, he picked up one and had to take a sip from time to time, and the other one was not touched, Guo Jia seemed to be drunk, and he was talking to himself all the time, as if he was drinking with someone, Xun Yu walked to his side, sat down, put the fruit wine he brought on the ground, and stretched out his hand to take the wine cup.

Guo Jia stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm.

"It's not yours. Wait, I'll ask the servant to fetch you another one. ”

ps: I'm coding words at home, and suddenly the mountains shook, and I noticed that it was an earthquake, and the old wolf picked up the computer and ran, but fortunately, it was fine.
