Chapter 0632: My Mastiff
Under the mulberry tree, the little guy threw himself into the old man's arms, and crisp laughter resounded all around.
Liu Xi knelt in front of his parents' spiritual seat, bowed his head, cried and cried, and his tears dried up, he had been sitting here for a long time, in this cold winter, he seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, so cold, pierced his heart, in one day, but also on his happiest day, his sky collapsed, leaving him not only his father, but also his mother, also left him.
Pain mixed with loneliness, the biting cold made him shiver, in this cold night, he did not dare to leave here, shivering, still did not dare to accept this fact.
"Mother... You said that Father would be scared on the road alone... Am I alone and not afraid? ”
"I'm so scared... In this world, I am the only one left...."Liu Xi trembled, tears fell again, everything in front of him was already a little blurry, he couldn't see the affairs in front of him clearly, his eyes were swollen badly, his chest was even more bored, and he couldn't breathe, until a person sat next to him and put a robe on him, and the cold on his body subsided a little.
Liu Xi turned his head, Lu Ji sat beside him, with tears in his eyes, carefully sorting out the robe on Liu Xi's body, Liu Xi looked at her, his eyes were red, "Lu Ji, I don't have parents anymore...", Lu Ji didn't speak, held his hand tightly, and gently rubbed the cold hand, "Husband, you still have me, you still have aunts, and younger brothers and sisters, you are not alone...."
"No matter what, I won't leave my husband."
Liu Mastiff listened, threw himself into her arms, and cried bitterly, Lu Ji gently patted his back and said, "Husband, it's okay, it's okay... With me, everything has me...", Liu Mastiff cried for a long time, he broke free from Lu Ji's arms, stood up, wiped the tears on his face, his voice was a little hoarse, he calmed down, and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"I heard the news of the death of the Son of Heaven and the queen's death, the ministers are crying, Zongzheng has already arrived, preparing for the future, the people of Luoyang probably also know, the crying in Luoyang is endless, they are mourning the parents of the big man, and I don't know about other things..." Especially Changling, don't let her cry .. Don't let her know..."
"That husband... You..."
"I still have important business, you can go to the palace now..."Liu Xi commanded, Lu Ji nodded, and hurriedly led the palace maids outside the door to leave here, Liu Xi walked to the parents' altar, knelt down to them and bowed, then got up and walked towards the door, when he walked out of the door, all the slaves, the yellow door, and the palace maids were crying, and the original wedding place also became a place of mourning.
He could vaguely see Sancheng standing in front of the door talking, I don't know what he was talking about, when they saw Liu Xi coming, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Quan hurriedly saluted and said, "Wait for the ministers to meet Your Majesty!" I hope Your Majesty will mourn!! Liu Xi's face was only sad, and he was not touched by their titles, he looked at the three people in front of him, and said cautiously: "The funeral of Emperor Daxing has to bother the three elders..."
"Don't dare!"
"Your Majesty, this enthronement is to be done as usual, and Da Honglu is in charge?" Cao Cao asked, Liu Xi glanced at him and said, "Emperor Daxing's aftermath is not over yet, and I am not in a hurry to do this, I have my own conclusion, and the elders don't need to say much." Hearing Liu Xi's words, the three princes were a little surprised, after Yuan Shu's death, the prince had been in decline for a long time, this time, both parents died, and in such a day, they thought that the prince would not be able to recover for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the prince not only relieved himself, but even he was extremely sober.
As the identity of the Son of Heaven, when he first discussed important matters with the Three Princes, he did not let the Three Princes do it himself, but had his own conclusive words to show his power and status to the Three Princes, I have to say, in this regard, Cao Cao is a little admired, Liu Xi led the Three Princes, walked out of the door, and saw the hundred officials who were crying bitterly, including the prince's subordinate officials, Liu Xi came, and everyone worshipped, and it was a matter of verbal mourning.
Liu Xi looked at everyone and said, "The gentlemen can spontaneously see off Emperor Daxing, and my father will thank you in return... All the monarchs are the henchmen and ministers of the father, and they are the pillars of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xi said, and saluted everyone again, and the hundred officials were dumbfounded, and hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and returned the salute again.
"During his lifetime, Emperor Daxing was extremely fond of the people and thrifty... I don't want my father to be ashamed, so I decreed that, according to the precept of filial piety, the people of the world should mourn for three days, not slaughter livestock for sacrifice, not delay farming, not self-sacrifice and burial, and the officials of the world should not delay state affairs because of mourning for the Son of Heaven.
"With my father's order, I will take out all the money from the royal treasury and give it to the Jimin Mansion to help the people of the world... Release official slaves, official prostitutes, official craftsmen..."
"Respectfully!!"
Everyone shouted, Liu Xi looked at the people below, didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the spiritual seat, and continued to guard.
Liu Xi's order soon reached the ears of officials everywhere, whether it was the people or the officials, they were mourning for the Emperor Daxing of the Han Dynasty, and they were also sighing for the benevolence and righteousness of today's son.
They wept over the loss of a benevolent and righteous son of heaven in the Han Dynasty, and after Liu Ba's action, all the officials and men in the world seemed to have found an opportunity to express their loyalty to the son of the day, and they followed suit, sent food and money to the relief government, and put on the most thrifty clothes, saying that they had donated all their family property, and there was no money left, and at the same time, they also released a large number of slaves, gave money, and let them be free.
Liu Xi was kneeling in front of the spiritual seat, but he heard a commotion from outside the door, with a cry, he saw his aunt, the aunt burst into the hall in tears, fell to the ground, called for his brother, Liu Xi hurriedly got up, walked to her side, helped her up, Zhuge Liang also rushed in, one hand to support her, the eldest princess of Raoyang was a little numb from crying, with Liu Xi's support, she walked to her brother's side.
looked at the familiar brother, lying calmly on the couch, smiling, and lying on the side of the sister-in-law, as gentle as ever.
At that moment, her heart was about to break, the Son of Heaven was not only a brother for her, since her father left early, her brother was like a father, raising her, in the whole world, she was most spoiled, she loved her the most, it was the person lying in front of him, he had been protecting himself all his life, like a real father, every time he cried to his father, he would paint himself with a beard and put on his father's clothes to coax himself.
But now, this brother, who has spoiled her all her life, has left in such a hurry.
"Brother!!" She lay on the chest of the Son of Heaven, crying silently, seeing her like this, Zhuge Liang, who was not far away, lowered his head and sighed, he looked at Liu Xi on the side, and said, "Palace... Your Majesty.. Festival mourning...", Liu Xi nodded, Zhuge Liang said again: "Only His Majesty can persuade her...", Liu Xi nodded, walked up, walked to his aunt's side, and shouted: "Auntie." ”
Rao Yang turned her head and looked at her nephew on the side, she cried bitterly, "My poor mastiff!" Stretching out her hands, she hugged Liu Xi tightly, buried her head on Liu Xi's shoulder, she cried, Liu Xi said: "Auntie, mourning, and my nephew, and Zhan'er...", Liu Xi persuaded, and after a long time, Rao Yang couldn't stop crying, and after a long time, Rao Yang stopped crying, but he also sobbed from time to time.
"Uncle, take my aunt back and have a good rest... After some time, I'll go see my aunt again..."Liu Xi said, Zhuge Liang nodded, helped Rao Yang, and left here.
Liu Xi let out a long sigh, raised his head, took a hard breath, stood up, and walked towards the palace.
Before he entered the Cining Palace, he heard the crying sound coming from inside, the crying was noisy, Liu Xi slowed down for a moment, and then walked into the hall, in the main hall, Lu Ji held Changling in one hand, and comforted Erlang on the other side, she kept talking, but neither of them listened, crying, Lu Ji couldn't control them, he was also in tears, in a hurry, Liu Xi walked in, and said with a smile: "It's so big, still crying?" No shame!! ”
Hearing the familiar voice, Changling and Erlang stopped crying, raised their heads, and looked at Liu Xi, the moment they saw Liu Xi, they all broke free of Lu Ji's hands and rushed towards Liu Xi, Liu Xi picked up the two of them, a little difficult, he looked at Lu Ji in front of him, and said gently: "You are also tired, go and rest, rest for a while, I still have important things to tell you tomorrow!" ”
Hearing Liu Xi say this, Lu Ji nodded, wiped her tears, and left here.
Liu Xi hugged them, sat on the bed, and said helplessly: "Changling, what's wrong?" Why cry? ”
"I can't find my father and mother, does my brother know where they are?" Changling cried and said, Liu Xi said with a smile: "Of course I know, they are going to play in the sky, don't cry, they will be back soon, you are so old, how can you cry??" He looked at Liu Di on the side again, and said helplessly: "You kid too, my sister is still young, even if you cry, why are you crying, are you still not my big man?" ”
"I am!"
"Then don't cry... Sleep in peace, tomorrow, I'll play with you..."
"Big brother, I can't sleep, my mother won't come to tell me a story, I can't sleep!!" Changling's eyes were full of tears.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story, come, you all have to sleep quietly..." Liu Mastiff held the two in his arms and sat on the bed by himself, Changling was fine, Erlang couldn't sleep, he could only put Erlang on the bed, gently stroked his back with one hand, and then began to tell the story.
"A long, long time ago... There was a Song man, this Song man was a farmer, and one day, he went to his own field to plow... I was a little tired, so I rested in front of a tree stump, but as a result, a rabbit rushed over, hit my head on the stump, and died! Liu Mastiff smiled and told the story, Changling and Erlang had been making trouble all night, and they were lying down exceptionally quietly at the moment, Liu Xi was telling the story, but the tears were dripping little by little.
With a smile on his face, he continued to speak, and he looked up so that tears would not fall on Changling's face.
"Then he decided to stay here and guard the rabbit and let the rabbit bump into it on its own, so that he could eat the rabbit every day..."
"Eldest brother?"
"What's the matter?"
"Then why is the rabbit so stupid?"
"Because it doesn't like to sleep."
"Then I'm going to sleep, brother, will my father and mother come back tomorrow?"
"Hmm..."
"Sleep and you'll be back."
Liu Xi grinned, but burst into tears.
