When the news of the death of the servant Zhongling came out, it was not as sensational as Xun Linggong, who was born in Jianning for three years, is now sixty-six, which is also considered an advanced age, and the people of the Sima family sent someone to inform the Son of Heaven on the day of his death.

At that time, Liu Xi was sitting in the Houde Palace, and the imperial physician ordered him to diagnose and prescribe a prescription, Qi Yue hurriedly walked into the Houde Palace, lowered his head, and said with some sadness: "Country, the servant Zhongling passed away last night...", after Qi Yue finished speaking, Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't I give him a miracle medicine?" How could it be... This..."

Liu Xi was a little speechless, and the imperial physician Ling Zhiyu took a few steps back, and then ordered: "Your Majesty must not hurt your spirits... The servant has been in the mood for a long time, and it can be regarded as a happy mourning, I hope Your Majesty will not hurt your spirit...", Liu Xi sighed, looked at Qi Yue, and said seriously: "I know, let Zhuge Linggong take care of the rest of the things, I am not very comfortable, so I will rest for a while." ”

"Respectfully!" , Qi Yue bowed, and then left the Houde Palace.

The imperial physician ordered a few more words, but Liu Xi obviously couldn't listen to it anymore, the imperial physician left helplessly, leaving only Liu Xi alone, frowning, his eyes were flashing with tears, he still remembered that when he was in the master's mansion, at that time, it was the happiest time in his life, although his father treated him very harshly, and his mother couldn't take care of himself, and often quarreled with his father, but he still missed that time very much.

At that time, he didn't have to bear such a huge pressure, he didn't have to think about so many things all day long, he didn't have to be so tired, he didn't have to hurt his friends, he didn't have to be jealous of his brothers, he didn't have to look ahead and think about so many, sometimes, Liu Xi really wanted to leave everything behind, run to a place where no one knew him, leave all the bad things behind, and spend a little time comfortably.

He did do that before, except for Qi Yue, no one knew where he was, he went to his hometown comfortably, their lineage, the roots are in the country between the rivers, in his grandfather's house, he finally found some comfort, although he failed to catch anything from the river like his grandfather, but he was already very content, since he ascended the throne, it was rare to enjoy a comfortable life for three months.

The more under the double oppression of such fatigue and pain, the more Liu Xi longs for death, he is not afraid of death, he is looking forward to the day he leaves, after leaving, he does not have to suffer such pain all the time, presumably it is a long time to rest, Liu Xi thought so, rest, for this son of heaven who can only rest for less than three hours a day, it is really a luxury.

He found that he was a little envious of Sima Yilai.

But he still can't leave too early, he still has a lot of things to arrange, for example, Liu Qu, even if Liu Qu can make him feel at ease, Sima Yi drank those teas, Liu Xi is also willing to taste them together, but ah, this prince is really hard for him to say, he needs to give the prince a home, let the prince mature as soon as possible, he has to see that the three forces of the temple can reach a balance, so that he can let go and leave.

Oh, by the way, there is also Guishuang, Guishuang must be stabilized, oh, by the way, there is also overseas, there can be no turmoil overseas, oh, by the way, outside the plug, Liu Xi suddenly laughed again, but the smile was extremely bitter, almost desperate.

The Son of Heaven returned to the harem, and the queen had learned the news of Sima Yi's death, and the queen knew that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang had been friends of the Son of Heaven for many years, and the Son of Heaven would often mention many interesting things about the three of them, so the queen also knew in her heart that the Son of Heaven at this moment must be in pain, but unfortunately, she did not guess that the pain caused by Sima Yi's death was far less than the other tortures... This pain is just a drop in the bucket.

"Your Majesty... I just heard the news, and I have already sent someone to comfort his family...", the queen said gently, Liu Xi smiled, the queen never let him down, many times, he himself doesn't have to say anything, the queen will do it for him, these years, the queen will often send people to take care of the old mothers of the ministers of the court, send wives, and sometimes call them over, shhhhhhhh

In the big waves, there is always a wisp of fresh wind that can push the boat and let Liu Xi better steer forward.

"Well... I'm tired of the queen..", Liu Xi said, and sat down beside the queen, frowning, the queen comforted a few more words, and was talking, Liu Xi suddenly asked, "How old is Hu'er this year?" The queen was stunned for a moment, but still said truthfully: "He is eighteen." ”

"Eighteen... Well, it's okay... I think it's time for him to start a family... Do you have the right person? ”

"Starting a family?? Isn't that a little early? Hu'er, with his temperament, can he afford a family? The queen said seriously, Liu Xi was suddenly furious, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "He is eighteen years old, why can't he support a family?" So when I'm dead, how will he hold up a country?? Wait, wait, wait, wait!! ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and said: "In the countryside, a man as big as him can already divide the family, and he can already be the head of the family, look at your tiger again, what can he do?" What kind of ranger do you learn all day long?! Liu Xi roared angrily, but the queen didn't say a word, she didn't argue with the Son of Heaven, and when the Son of Heaven finished roaring and calmed down a little, the queen came up and hugged the Son of Heaven gently.

Liu Xi's anger dissipated instantly, he lowered his head, held the queen's hand helplessly, and said, "Lu Ji... I..."

"Your Majesty, it's okay, the prince of the official school, is a famous one, and his virtue is also very good, he has a granddaughter, called Wang Yuanji, who was with Hu'er when he was young, and I have also been to see it, she is a good woman, but she can be a good match for Hu'er, but I don't know what Hu'er will think in his heart..."

What else could he think? I can't help him, so it's up to the queen to arrange it at this time... Anyway, it is necessary to let the prince marry as soon as possible, only when he starts a family can he mature, become responsible, have a stable temperament, and will no longer be idle... Queen, I'd rather not marry as a prince, anyway, as soon as possible..."

"Your Majesty... I see..."

.......

Zhuge Liang just came to Shangshutai, and was about to start today's affairs, suddenly an official came to tell him that the servant Zhongling passed away last night, Zhuge Liang was stunned for a long time, put down the things in his hand, or drove to Sima's mansion, as Shangshu Ling, the servant Zhongling left, he still had to go to mourn, sitting in the carriage, Zhuge Liang's mind was always those pictures from decades ago.

Two equally arrogant young men, had been constantly debating, forcing Yuan Zi to only hold a sword to teach, from the time they met now, they seem to have been comparing, the debate lasted for decades, but finally ended with Sima Yi's death, he knew that Sima Yi's body has not been good, he is often sick, he looks very weak, I didn't expect that he survived so many times, this time, he still lost to illness.

When he arrived at Sima's mansion, Sima Yi's younger brothers came to greet him, Sima Lang, the eldest brother of the Sima family, died first, Sima Yi is now gone, the eldest has become Sima Fu, and Sima Fu is still in Guishuang, so only Sima Jin and Sima Min came to greet him, Sima Jin looked a little unhappy with himself.

Zhuge Liang knew that because of the contradiction between himself and Sima Yi, both sides knew, and Sima Min was different, he looked much more rational, and respectfully invited Zhuge Liang into the mansion, not many people came to mourn, in the past, Sima Yi can be said to have ruined all his popularity, and he was almost alienated from everyone, including his younger brothers.

Therefore, when he died, there were not many people who came to mourn, most of them were the children of the Sima family, or several families of the Sima family's marriage, Zhuge Liang was very prominent among these people, and accompanied these people to bid farewell to Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang felt that blank feeling for the first time, he always felt that these were a little unrealistic, as if all this was a dream.

After Liu Yi arrived, the eyes gathered on Zhuge Liang finally moved away, and everyone came to see Liu Yi, Liu Yi also returned the salute one by one, and went to bid farewell to Sima Yi, Liu Yi came to Zhuge Liang's side, he said in a low voice: "Zhuge Linggong, Your Majesty let us arrange the affairs of Sima Linggong, and go to Houde Hall tomorrow to find him..."

Zhuge Liang nodded.

After negotiating with several ministers, Zhuge Liang still chased the position of the Martyrs' Hall for this old friend, even if he didn't mention anything else, that is, his achievements in governing Jingbei and Yanzhou were enough for him to enter the Martyrs' Hall, not to mention, when Zhuge Liang went to conquer Guishan, Sima Yi was in charge of many things in the temple, and he did it in an orderly manner, so that various policies had developed a lot.

After arranging many things for Sima Yi, the next day, Zhuge Liang and Liu Yi rushed to the Houde Hall early, when they arrived at the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven had been busy in the Houde Hall for a long time, the Son of Heaven looked a little tired, obviously, Sima Yi's matter also hit him hard, Zhuge Liang and the Son of Heaven comforted each other for a while, and the three of them officially talked about important matters.

"Who do you think can be the commander of the servants?"

Hearing the Son of Heaven's inquiry, Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Yi beside him, and then said: "The minister thinks that it is enough for officials and servants to shoot the prince." When Liu Xi heard this, he shook his head, although he was about to become in-laws with the old man, but the old man was extremely stubborn and very conservative, so letting him stay in the Hall of Houde was completely torturing himself.

Liu Yi frowned and said helplessly: "The minister doesn't know. ”

Liu Xi only missed Sima Yi a little at this time, if he was there, no matter what the occasion, he could guess his mind, and tell the rest of the people for himself, the Son of Heaven likes his intelligence very much, but he is always jealous because he knows himself too well, and now, without him, the Son of Heaven can only speak by himself, he looked at the two people in front of him, and asked slowly:

"Pang Tong, how's it going?"
