These days, Liu Xi always feels a little bored, and his heart is becoming more and more uneasy, sure enough, just waiting in the Houde Hall for a few days, he received bad news, Liu Sikong left, in fact, in his heart, he has long had a premonition, Sikong Gong is afraid that he will not be able to survive this winter, he ran around in his early years, and he has never rested over sixty years old, and he can carry it until now, it is already considered a long life.

However, this does not mean that he can easily withstand this blow, for a person like Liu Xi, who loves his life as much as his life, every time he leaves, it seems that a piece of meat has been dug out of his heart, and now, Liu Sikong is also gone, for this gentle clan elder, he has always had a good impression, even if he got the Book of Heaven, he also likes this elder very much.

When the whole world is crusading against the Han Dynasty and plotting rebellion, there is only one person who has raised the banner of the Han Dynasty, according to the records in the Book of Heaven, it is obvious that he is not the only one in the clan, such as Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Liu Xuan, etc., are also the princes of one party, but no one is like him, holding high the banner of the Han Dynasty, taking the responsibility of supporting the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility, and fighting all his life.

This elder is very gentle on weekdays, and has a good relationship with many ministers, but if he is occasionally angry, he will also show the blood of the Han family, and he can also kill people in Jingzhou with full favor, for Liu Xi, he has always been very caring, even if he knew that Liu Xi wanted to take away the power in his hands, he never complained against it, and after leaving the core of the temple, he often came to assist the newly appointed young ministers.

Now, this elder is also gone, and his death completely represents the end of the Sangong era, but now, it is the era of Sanling.

For the admiration of the elder of the clan, Liu Xi personally went to worship, the road had long been vacated, the people welcomed him, and there were cheers from the people everywhere, but Liu Xi's heart was always cold, when he arrived at Liu's mansion, the stupid son of the Sikong family was already crying and couldn't open his eyes, Liu Xi stepped forward to comfort.

This stupid boy has always been Liu Gong's heart, I don't know how much he loves, even if he doesn't like literature, he just became a despicable businessman, Sikong didn't blame him, but all kinds of secretly helped, Sikong even secretly looked for the Son of Heaven, in his words, he hoped that the Son of Heaven could shelter his stupid son, in this life, there are no other regrets, the only thing that can't be given up is this stupid son.

Now, seeing this kid's red and swollen eyes and unstoppable tears, Liu Xi sighed, if Liu Gongquan knows, he must be very pleased, although this child is stupid, but for his father, he also really loves, unlike those rebels, Liu Xi squinted his eyes, he has seen a lot of filial sons who pretend to be filial in front of him, crying dead and alive, the voice is earth-shattering, but the tears can't fall a few drops.

Like Liu Chan, who was crying hoarsely and couldn't open his eyes, he saw it for the first time.

Needless to say, Liu Sikong will definitely enter the Martyrs' Hall, no one will object to this, Liu Sikong's ten-year strategy alone has made the Han ten times richer and stronger, and it is this credit that he can also occupy a front position in the Martyrs' Hall, Liu Xi informed Liu Chan of this matter, and it can be regarded as giving him an explanation, so that he can feel a little at ease.

Liu Sikong's death, but did not cause much of a sensation in Luoyang, the people have long forgotten that there is such a Sikong, only a few officials still know, in the end, but a large number of children of the clan came to mourn, for Liu Sikong to see off, until the news of Liu Sikong's death came out in the Di Bao Mansion, the people cried, I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, they cried.

Liu Xi asked Sima Yi to discuss the posthumous sealing of Liu Sikong, and as soon as he returned to the Houde Palace, Qi Yue rushed in again, trembling and said: "Country, it's not good, Xun Linggong he... fell on the road...", hearing this, Liu Xi seemed to be slammed on the head with a heavy hammer, and suddenly, the whole person felt that the world was spinning.

His hands clutched the wooden case in front of him, breathing slowly.

After easing for a long time, Liu Xi went out again, this time, sitting in the carriage, he seemed to have lost his sense of hearing, all the noise, all the words, he couldn't hear it, there was always a chaotic roar in his ears, nothing could be heard, the carriage quickly rushed to Xun Linggong's house, fortunately, there was no white here, Liu Xi thought in his heart, until he saw Xun Yu lying on the bed with a smile on his face, Liu Xi heard the noise around him again.

"The old minister's mistake has worried His Majesty... I'm tired of Your Majesty...", Xun Yu said with some embarrassment, Liu Xi forcibly squeezed out a smile and shook his head, "Xun Linggong don't want to say this, it's a cold winter, don't go out again, at such a moment, and I'm still in a hurry to go out, Xun Linggong is really scared to death, I am on the road, and I have already wanted to posthumously seal the title for Xun Linggong.."

"Hahaha, that's the minister's misfortune, I almost got the title, it's a pity, it's a pity." , Xun Yu said with a smile, Liu Xi's ice-like heart seemed to melt a little more, "Xun Linggong, don't do this again, the temple can't live without you, I can't live without you." ”

"When I heard that Sikong had passed away, I was in a hurry to see him, but I didn't expect that there would be such a large amount of snow piled up on the road... almost left with Sikong. Xun Yu said, seeing Liu Xi's gloomy face, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal things of life, and no one can escape. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about us old fellows. ”

"Thank you Xun Linggong."

"Your Majesty, the minister heard, you followed Sima Yi's advice, recruited millions of slaves from overseas, and arranged them outside Ningzhou, the minister had the heart to dissuade them, but he couldn't see His Majesty, it's too cold outside, the doctor doesn't let the old man go out, Your Majesty, this matter is not right, if you can, I hope Your Majesty can give instructions to people outside the Saiwai, don't be too harsh, it's best to arrange a gentle person to serve as the shepherd outside the Saiwai..."

"Your Majesty, the minister heard that since ancient times, as long as the Son of Heaven is not a king who can't listen to other people's words, and the minister is not a minister who is good at covering up and refusing to admonish, the prosperity can be expected, and now Your Majesty has opened up the way of speech, this is a good thing, if you can, I hope that Your Majesty can listen to more people's suggestions and make a decision, Your Majesty, if the old minister can't survive this cold winter...", Xun Yu said calmly.

"You can let Liu Yi, the son of the clan, serve as the third order, he is the descendant of the prince of Xiaokang, others will not say anything, in addition, he is also the most trusted person of His Majesty, the position of Zhongshu Ling, it seems that it cannot be ranked with the other two, but it can manipulate the temple ministers, this position must be the most trusted person of His Majesty... Remember, remember. Xun Yu instructed a few more words, and then his face showed fatigue.

Liu Xi didn't bother anymore, just left the mansion quietly.

When he returned to the Houde Hall again, rubbing his forehead, thinking about the things outside the plug, Qi Yue rushed in again.

"The country... Therefore, it is pointed out that the embroidered messenger Zhang He and Zhang Gong have passed away...", Qi Yue lowered his head and looked sad.

"Uh....", Liu Xi's face suddenly turned red, as if something was choking his throat, Qi Yue was frightened, hurriedly jumped up, and shouted the Taiyi Order, when the Taiyi Order came, the corners of Liu Xi's mouth had overflowed blood, but the whole person was still able to stand and never fall, the Taiyi Ling had been treating the Son of Heaven for a long time, and brought the medicine, the Son of Heaven sat on the bed, stretched out his trembling hand, took the medicine, and drank it all.

"Your Majesty!!" I don't know when, the queen also rushed into the Houde Palace, the queen looked very worried about the Son of Heaven, just learned the news that the imperial doctor ran to the Houde Palace, so she immediately rushed over, sat beside the Son of Heaven, and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Your Majesty?? Liu Xi's eyes suddenly widened, staring at her, "How do you know that something is wrong with me?" ”

Lu Ji was taken aback by the appearance of the Son of Heaven, and said blankly: "It's the palace maid, the palace maid said that she saw the imperial doctor rushing towards the Houde Palace...", Liu Xi raised his head angrily and looked at Qi Yue, "What is the crime of daring to spread the big things in the palace?" ”

"The country... Capital crime.. The slaves and maids are not strictly disciplined, and they hope that the state will punish them severely! Qi Yue knelt in front of Liu Xi in fear, Liu Xi waved his hand and said, "Get out of here!" Cut down all those mouthy ones!! I'll see who dares to gossip again!! Liu Xi looked a little hideous, and Qi Yue was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out.

The queen was about to open her mouth to persuade, but Liu Xi grabbed her hand and looked at the queen in front of her.

In the Houde Palace, only Liu Xi and the queen were left, Liu Xi held the queen's hand tightly, the queen saw the tears in Liu Xi's eyes that could no longer be stopped, Liu Xi still couldn't hold back, he cried silently, looking at him like this, the queen felt a sharp pain in her heart, she slowly hugged the Son of Heaven, Liu Xi was in her arms, gritted her teeth, and cried.

On that day, the queen saw the Son of Heaven crying for the second time.

But this time, he lost the right to cry, the queen did not remember, he made a sound, she only remembered that day, the tears of the Son of Heaven soaked his back.

Yankang 20 years, this is the third year after Zhuge Liang began to start various policies, he is not even in the temple now, he is in the place, in the conquest of the people in Hebei, he has mobilized 800,000 people, is running outside, the people are naturally complaining in their hearts, fortunately, most people only have a more than month period of conscription, taking turns, but it makes them complain a lot.

Zhuge Liang is not a person who persecuts the people for his political achievements, not to mention, with the miserable prisoners of war on the side as a comparison, the people of the Han Dynasty are no longer so complaining, compared to those poor barbarians, their lives are hundreds of times better, aren't they?

But when Zhuge Liang was not in the temple, Zhuge Liang's promise to complete the goal in three years was still all achieved, whether it was from cultivated land, from commerce and trade, from official education, from military affairs, in many aspects, indeed, in the twenty years of Yankang, the tax of the temple was more than three times higher than that of Yankang in the seventeenth year, and many people who were waiting to see Zhuge Liang's jokes also kept their mouths shut.

"Well, he's still a bit lucky."

A villain said so.
