11th year of Xiping, June

Empress Dowager Song.

The Son of Heaven knelt in front of the mourning hall, his eyes were red, his head was bowed, there was no speech, under this great sorrow, his whole person was thin, since his mother left, he had not eaten much, in this regard, the queen was very worried, and she was constantly consoling, but no matter what she said, the Son of Heaven was still like this, and Hanmen began to accompany the Son of Heaven all the time, for fear that something would happen.

Liu Mastiff also knelt behind the Son of Heaven, stubborn, like the Son of Heaven, he had not eaten anything for four or five days, and now he was trembling and crumbling, his body was originally relatively thin, suffered such a catastrophe, and was almost defeated, in the entire cold palace, only cared for and loved him, only this kind grandmother.

Even, even the grandmother does not love herself as much as the grandmother, this point, Liu Mastiff is very clear, the mother may blame herself in her heart, why she does not look like the father, so that she also lost her favor, countless times, grandmother has hugged herself and told herself the story of yes.

There are many people who have told the story of Yeye, in the story of the father, Yaye is a very majestic, able to intimidate the ministers, can beat the male lord of the field, in the mouth of the mother, yes is a wise and powerful, clear rewards and punishments, upright and strong Ming Jun, in the books, yes is the destiny of heaven, when he was a child, he met a goldfish by the river.

However, only in the grandmother's story, yes is different.

In the story of his grandmother, Ye Ye is a very kind person, he loves the people of the world Li Shu, not only the people of the Central Plains, Qiang, Xiongnu, Wuhuan people, but all those who are committed to the Han Dynasty are regarded by him as their own people, therefore, the Qiang people can fight for Ye Ye in the northwest, and the Xiongnu Shan Yu can die for Ye Ye when fighting against Xianbei!

And the people of the Han Dynasty have never forgotten Yeye, and they often talk about it with tears and tears.

He listened to these stories, slowly grew up, he wanted to be a benevolent and righteous gentleman like Yeye, he wanted to love the people of the world, gradually, he grew up, but his grandmother was not very sober, she could remember herself from time to time, but, more often, he was repeatedly talking about Yeye and his father, and the loneliness of being abandoned made Liu Mastiff even more painful.

However, every time he shed tears, his grandmother would always come to her senses, make him sit in her arms with great difficulty, and then tell him about Emperor Xiaokang.

Today, the story is not finished, and my grandmother is gone.

Now, he really became lonely.

"Grandmother... Have you seen Yeya? ”

"Did you tell him about me?"

"Boom!" Liu Mastiff only felt a burst of dizziness, and in a haze, he fell sideways, and his head hit the hard steps on the ground, at that moment, Liu Mastiff seemed to rush to a gust of wind to blow towards him, and hugged himself firmly, is it grandmother? Liu Mastiff thought and fainted.

"Mastiff! Mastiff!! The Son of Heaven hugged Liu Mastiff and shouted in a panic.

The surrounding Huangmen dormitory was completely stunned, and before he could come to his senses, just now, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor shook and fell to the side, at that moment, I saw the Son of Heaven rushing out, at an incredible speed, quickly hugged the eldest son of the emperor, so that he was not injured, this skill, even the most elite guards around, may not be able to have!

"What are you doing! Go find the Imperial Doctor's Order!! ”

The Son of Heaven roared.

The little yellow door ran out quickly.

The Son of Heaven picked up the mastiff with great difficulty, and walked towards the Cining Palace.

"Your Majesty . . . Slaves and maids." Han Men looked at the Son of Heaven and asked with some concern, the original pale face of the Son of Heaven was a little red because of the charge, and the sweat drops continued to roll down his forehead, he struggled to hold the eldest son of the emperor, and rushed towards the Cining Palace, the Son of Heaven had not eaten for several days, and Han Men was afraid that the Son of Heaven would not be able to stand such fatigue.

The Son of Heaven did not reply, and continued to run, the scorching sun was shining, in this blazing June, Liu Wei, who was huge, was like a giant head, shuttling between the palaces, his clothes were soaked with sweat, clinging to his body.

Putting the mastiff on the bed, the Son of Heaven was already out of breath, and the imperial doctor Ling hurriedly stepped forward and began to diagnose the pulse.

"Your Majesty... His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, is overworked and extremely weak."

The Son of Heaven turned his head and looked at Han Men, Han Men was startled, and hurriedly said: "Country, His Royal Highness refuses to eat for several days, and like the country, the slave and maid can't persuade him..."

"Why don't you talk to me ?!?"

"This... Country.. The slave deserves to die, the slave is guilty.."

"If the mastiff misses half a point... I'll let you be buried with you!! ”

Looking at the fierce light in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Han Men trembled and did not dare to speak.

The imperial doctor ordered the healing for a while, that is, feeding water and food, and Liu Mastiff's face gradually improved.

The Imperial Physician ordered the return of the Son of Heaven, His Royal Highness is fine, and he can wake up after a while of recuperation.

The Son of Heaven wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, sat down beside Liu Mastiff, looked at Han Men beside him coldly, and said, "Next time there will be such a situation... You're the only one who asks! ”

"Sincerely."

After two full hours, Liu Mastiff opened his eyes, his head was still a little dizzy, his vision was blurred, and he slowed down for a long time before he could see clearly.

Turning his head, he looked to the side, and was surprised that it was Father next to him!

How can it be a father? Liu Mastiff was flustered, and his head hurt a little again.

The Son of Heaven opened his eyes, looked at him, looked up and down, slowly frowned, and said coldly, "Have you ever felt better?" ”

"Good.. Finish.. Some.. Thanks a lot.. Father.."

"Humph! Unsuccessful erector, look at your weak appearance, how do you look like my son?! How can I rest assured that I will hand over the Han River to you? Scold! It's not a thing! The Son of Heaven scolded a few words, stood up suddenly, his legs hurt, and he almost fell, Liu Mastiff was not fully awake, and he didn't notice this, and when he heard the scolding of the Son of Heaven, he just shifted his gaze in despair, and didn't dare to look at the Son of Heaven anymore.

The Son of Heaven turned around and left.

Liu Mastiff was lying on the sickbed, but tears flowed out uncontrollably, without his grandmother, there was no one who loved him in this huge palace.

Sitting in the Hall of Houde, the Son of Heaven just began to eat, Han Men was on the side, and he was finally relieved, the Son of Heaven quickly finished eating, was silent for a moment, and then ordered: "In the future, don't be so lax anymore..."

"Sincerely."

"Let someone inform Jiro and Saburo..."

"Let Jiro come back..."

The Son of Heaven said, but sighed helplessly, San Lang is too far away from Luoyang, not to mention, he can't leave Wa Island in a hurry, so he can only wronged him, as for Erlang, he should be able to come soon, alas, the two brothers have not seen each other for many years, I don't want to, but they want to reunite in such a situation, if my mother can see Erlang come back, she will definitely be very happy.

For the death of the Queen Mother, the officials are also very sad, now there are many state affairs, the Son of Heaven did not convene a court meeting, and there were no ministers to urge, but gave the Son of Heaven time to ease up, and Shangshu made Xing Ziang extremely tired, dealing with the affairs of various places day and night, without a moment of rest, fortunately, there were many ministers under his command, with the help of Guo Jia and others, Xing Ziang did not die of exhaustion on the case.

If it weren't for that, he would have gone with Emperor Xiaokang a long time ago.

In Liu Mo's mansion, Zhuge Liang was also a little sullen.

"His Royal Highness hasn't come out for four or five days, Yuan Gong is also very worried, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he has been tempered a little bit lately, Captain Hua said that he should not go to the palace to look for it, but Yuan Gong was beaten well, and now he is still lying on the couch, unable to move..."

"Well.." Liu Mo nodded and said nothing.

Zhuge Liang looked at the Shijun in front of him, he was very worried, since Shijun and Yuan Gong went to Ningzhou and returned, he has been like this, he has changed his words completely, he is depressed all day long, often in a daze, and the rest of the time, Zhuge Liang was surprised to find that Shijun was actually practicing swords, he made a wooden man in the house, and he practiced swords against wooden people all day long!

This made Zhuge Liang really incomprehensible.

"Master... Liang doesn't know what happened to make Shijun look like this... Shijun didn't tell me, and I wouldn't ask questions, but, Shijun, Liang still wants to hear Shijun talk about Donghao's fish and shrimp, and I also want to hear Shijun solve my doubts, and I hope Shijun can be happy all day long and not be sad... Master, if there is anything important, please tell me, I am willing to bear it with you! If you flinch at all, teach me to thunder and thunder! ”

Liu Mo trembled and clasped his hands tightly.

Zhuge Liang was about to speak, but he saw a group of people standing outside the door, waiting quietly.

Zhuge Liang looked at it and said to Liu Mo: "I still hope that Shijun will not worry!" No matter what, I'm here...", he bowed, and then went to the gate, Liu Mo raised his head, the painful sky, and whispered: "Puri Wu Tepla..."

Zhuge Liang came to the door and opened the fence.

Liu Mastiff stood outside the door, his demeanor at this moment was so similar to Liu Mo at home, a deep pain, clearly engraved on his face, revealed from his eyes, Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly greeted him, and said: "Your Highness." ”

"Kong Ming, get up.."

Liu Mastiff helped him up and said, "I haven't been to school for a few days, I don't know if Kong Ming may help him... Later, Shijun will take the school exam, I am afraid that I will disappoint Shijun..."

"Respectfully!"

The two walked towards Yuan Shu's mansion together, along the way, Zhuge Liang was explaining to the Son of Heaven, in front of the mansion, Zhuge Liang stopped, the soldiers at the door saw Liu Mastiff, hurriedly opened the door, and stepped forward to comfort, Liu Mastiff thanked him one by one, entered the mansion, Hua Xiong ran out of the inner room, he came to Liu Mastiff's face, looking Liu Mastiff up and down.

Looking at the Liu mastiff in front of him, Hua Xiong also had some hesitation on his face, he didn't know how to persuade him, he thought for a long time, and then he held back the word mourning, and then, helplessly patted Liu Mastiff's shoulder, and said: "Actually, don't be sad, you know, in ancient times, there was a grandson, his wife died, he was beating gongs, and drums, extremely happy, others asked him, why are you not sad at all?" ”

Then he said, "Why should I be sad now that my wife is living a better life in another place?"

"This person is a monk, he can see things that we can't see, the Queen Mother just went to such a place, and lived a good life with Emperor Xiaokang, you don't have to be sad, you know?"

"Got it, thank you, Captain!" Liu Mastiff replied.

Looking at Hua Xiong's serious nonsense, Zhuge Liang on the side couldn't help it, gasped, and asked, "Captain Hua, who taught you this?" ”

"It's the captain, he taught me..."Hua Xiong's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "At that time, our battalion was patrolling in Tianshui, and we encountered the enemy, and only twelve of the eight hundred brothers in our battalion survived... Captain Yuan told me this, they are all in that place now, living a good life, no longer afraid of cold, not afraid of hunger, and not afraid of someone deducting military salaries, how good..."

Zhuge Liang was silent, nodded, and said, "That's true, what Captain Yuan said is right. ”

Hua Xiong smiled, and because he still had important matters, he said goodbye and left.

After he left, Zhuge Liang reacted, looked at Liu Mastiff beside him, and said, "Actually, it's not Sun Tzu, but Zhuangzi..."

"I know..."

The two were chatting, but Yuan Shu had already walked out of the study, looking at the back of Huaxiong who was far away, he didn't know what he remembered, sighed, looked at them, and said, "Come in!" ”

Sure enough, Yuan Shu still took the school to Liu Mastiff, and then began to teach.

When he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Captain Yuan... There's something I'd like to ask about.."

"What?"

"My master is in Ningzhou, what happened?"

...............

At this time, Liu Mastiff also left the mansion and went to the palace.

Although the Son of Heaven didn't know why Liu Mo suddenly came to find him, he still asked Hanmen to bring him in, Liu Mo arrived at the Houde Palace, and bowed to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven suddenly noticed Liu Mo's abnormal look, and after Liu Mo came back, he remembered that it was the same, however, he also thought that it was all because Liu Mo was too tired, and now it seems that there is something hidden.

"Gong Liu, you are..."

"Your Majesty, the minister came here to ask for his life!"

"Oh?"

"The minister learned that Si Nong's music wanted to develop the south and govern the place. The minister is not talented, but he is willing to govern a state for His Majesty, and he will definitely go all out to live up to His Majesty's hopes..."

"You want to go south?"

"Which state do you want to go to?"

"Jiaozhou."

The Son of Heaven looked at him in astonishment, speechless.
