When the little fat man was jubilant, there was suddenly bad news, the old lady Liu Ju was seriously ill, which was like a cold water empowerment, so that the little fat man was silent, that day, he hurried to the old lady's mansion, when he personally arrived at the mansion, the old lady's wife went out to greet them, and the little fat man met them one by one, and immediately rushed to bed.

The old lady was lying on the bed, his eyes were already a little open, he was sleeping, the little fat man couldn't bear to disturb, so he knelt in the room, waiting for the old lady to wake up, everyone was silent, did not dare to make a sound, the little fat man was a little heavy in his heart, this old lady was among the important ministers, the first to support his own courtiers, and he also repeatedly offered advice for himself, and he was respectfully dedicated to the Han all his life.

Thinking that he might lose this important minister, the little fat man was a little panicked.

After waiting for a long time, the old lady slowly woke up, he turned his head to look, saw the little fat man, was shocked, and wanted to get up to visit, the little fat man hurriedly stepped forward, held his wrinkled hand, shook his head, and said: "The captain doesn't have to visit, just cultivate with peace of mind." ”

"Ahem, time is running out, I'm afraid, I'm going to bother Your Majesty to find a new lieutenant" The old lieutenant was not afraid of death, he said with a smile, the little fat man shook his head, and said: "I'm busy with affairs, this lieutenant, I still don't look for it, Liu Jun is just right to sit in this position." The old lady smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death are also human nature." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, Qiao Gong is the Sikong, there are many problems, after the death of the minister, His Majesty can make Qiao Gong the captain, and after that, Wang Fu, Lu Zhi, Wang Yun and others can take over" He suddenly coughed again, and the little fat man hurriedly said: "Please don't talk about state affairs, and then tell me some historical facts, okay?" The old lady smiled and nodded, and began to slowly tell the long story again.

This matter, not only the little fat man, even the accompanying many officials, are also quietly kneeling and sitting, listening carefully, this old lady who has always been disgusted and nagged, seeing so many people listening carefully to his own story, his heart is extremely happy, later, even got up, ate a few bowls of rice, and his mental state has also improved, the little fat man is overjoyed, and ordered the imperial doctor to stay here and take care of the old lady day and night.

The two chatted for a long time, and when they saw that the old lady was a little tired, the little fat man got up and said, "Don't abandon me!" Luckily? The old lady just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a mediocre person, in his lifetime, he can do such a big thing as Mintun, and he will die without regrets, why does Your Majesty bother with this?" ”

He also told the story of Zhuang Zhou's wife's funeral.

The little fat man shook his head and said, "I am not a Zhuangzi, and I can't reach that realm, the old lady can't abandon me!" The old lady saw that the little fat man's face was a little worried and frightened, he couldn't bear it, he nodded and agreed, the little fat man left, the old lady was lying on the sickbed, a little helpless, he already felt that his time was running out, in fact, this feeling has been there since the third year of Jianning.

It's just that he has been holding back his strength to finish the Mintun for the Son of Heaven, before he succeeded, he was unwilling to leave, and now, he doesn't seem to have any regrets, he smiled and muttered to himself: "Liu Shu, I'm going to find you too, you have a good grandson."

The old lady was resting, but suddenly heard a commotion outside the house, he opened his eyes again, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Liu An, the eldest son beside him, said with some anger: "That old man He Xiu actually wanted to break into the mansion, claiming to see his father, and I ordered him to be stopped." ”

"Who made you treat Sangong like this!"

"Bring it to me quickly!!" The old lady was extremely angry, coughing violently, and scolded the eldest son, Liu An was stunned, seeing his father like this, but he didn't dare to object, he went out immediately, and after a while, he brought He Xiu in, but, his face was extremely unhappy, and he didn't bow to He Xiu, He Xiu raised his head, walked in arrogantly, and saw the old lady on the bed, and smiled a little disdainfully.

"Old thief, I heard you're not good?"

Hearing this, Liu An was furious, and he was about to fight with He Xiu, but the old lady was not angry, but ordered Liu An to go out, and in the house, only He Xiu and the old lady were left, the old lady looked at He Xiu with a smile, nodded, and said: "You old horseman, your ears are good, indeed, I have to go first."

Hearing this, He Xiu frowned, but did not speak, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.

The old lady smiled and said, "You old horseman, it seems that you will never have a chance to win against me again!" ”

He Xiu remained silent.

"Hey, what are you doing with a bitter face, aren't you sad?"

"Heh, you old thief is dead, I will only listen to music and dance in the house!"

"Hahaha, you say, we have fought all our lives, can we meet in the netherworld after this death?"

He Xiu glanced at him disdainfully, and said: "I don't want to meet you again, when I was young, you teamed up with Liu Shu and fought against me, and today, Liu Shu is not here, you and I are still like fire and water."

"Do you remember, the beautiful girl of the Yang family?!"

"Hahaha, naturally remember!"

The two suddenly talked to each other in the house, talking very happily, recalling many things, but they themselves did not expect how harmonious and happy they are now, this scene is unbelievable, the two talked for a long time, the old lady was seriously ill, and gradually still a little tired, and his eyes were a little unable to open, He Xiu stood on the edge of the bed, watched quietly for a moment, and turned around to leave.

"Old Puff!"

"Huh?"

"Make another bet, bet on which of us will die first, and if you lose, come to my spirit, kowtow and weep, okay?"

He Xiu stood quietly for a moment.

"Good!"

Since the old lady was seriously ill, the little fat man found that there was something wrong with He Xiu, he frowned tightly on weekdays, and he didn't speak, looking worried, the little fat man was suspicious, this old man would not make any bets with the old lady, he shook his head again, even if they bet, he had no way to pay attention to it, he just looked forward to it every day, hoping that the old lady could get better soon.

In this court, without the old lady, Wang Fu once again fell into the bitter situation of no support, that Cao Song and others, whether it is official position or qualifications, have not reached the point of the old lady, can not support Wang Fu in the temple, every time, can only the little fat man personally come forward, cheer for Wang Fu, these things, but also make the little fat man miss the old lady.

In the fourth year of Jianning, in March, the ministers were discussing in the court.

Suddenly, someone came to see him and cried: Taiwei Liu Ju.

The little fat man trembled and almost fell, he endured the pain in his heart, gritted his teeth, stood, and was silent, and the ministers lowered their heads and sobbed in a low voice.

Turn around

He Xiu stood alone, he stood sluggishly, suddenly, tears kept falling from his eyes, crying in a low voice like a child, and constantly wiping the tears on his face, twitching all over.

He suddenly turned to look at the little fat man,

"This time, I want to lose, I don't want to win!"

He Xiu hugged his head in pain, his face full of tears.

Old lady, go all the way. 11
