Yu Qing and Li Yan went to the Qi State, and along the way, they saw that the people of the Qi State were wearing mourning clothes. Li Yan lowered his voice and asked, "Yu Qing, King Qi won't..."

Although Li Yan didn't say the next few words, Yu Qing understood and nodded.

Li Yan asked, "What should we do?" ”

Although Yu Qing expected that the limit of King Qi was approaching, he never expected that King Qi had passed away. When the king of Qi died, they really became the mourners. Yu Qing thought that if Qi changed its master, then Qi's foreign relations would also change.

This time, as an envoy to the State of Qi, Yu Qing also shouldered the mission of listening to the internal affairs of Qi and renewing the alliance. Yu Qing was tired of boating and driving, day and night, and after passing the Jishui, he ran directly to Linzi.

It turned out that when Yu Qing and Li Yan embarked on the road to Qi, the king of Qi was already terminally ill and unconscious. The best healer in Qi was also helpless. However, King Qi refused to take his last breath, presumably because he still had something on his mind.

At this time, Tian Yu, who had returned from the envoy Zhao Guo, heard that Wang Shang was seriously ill and panicked. He was afraid that he would be too late and would not be able to see King Qi for the last time. Tian Yu didn't change his clothes, so he hurriedly came to the palace, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, minister, you're back." ”

Queen Qi saw King Qi's fingers move slightly, and shouted towards the outside of the hall: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor's order." ”

The Imperial Physician ordered three steps and one step at a time and walked into the main hall. Because he knew that this was not a sign that King Qi's condition was improving, but that King Qi was returning to light. The imperial physician ordered to look, smell, ask, and cut, and applied acupuncture to stabilize King Qi's disordered breath.

Queen Qi was anxious when she saw that the imperial physician order was busy, but she did not dare to disturb the imperial physician order. Queen Qi saw that the imperial physician order wiped the sweat from her forehead, and the diagnosis and treatment came to an end, and asked anxiously: "Imperial physician order, king, how is it?" ”

The imperial physician Ling said with shame: "Queen, minister, medical skills are not good. Minister, all you can do is let the king live for a few more hours. ”

"How many more hours?" When Queen Qi heard this, her heart was like a knife, and her expression was a little dazed: "What did you say." ”

The Imperial Physician Ling knelt on the ground and said, "Minister, incompetent." ”

Queen Qi looked at King Qi lying on the collapse. She recalled the time she had spent with King Qi and burst into tears. Queen Qi didn't want anyone to disturb her and King Qi's last time, so she waved her hand and motioned to the people around her to retreat.

At this time, King Qi opened his eyes, but saw that the queen's eyes were slightly swollen, and she had obviously cried. King Qi wanted to lift his sleeves to wipe away her tears, but he didn't have the strength.

Seeing this, Queen Qi grabbed King Qi's hand. King Qi asked softly, "Why are you crying?" ”

Queen Qi suppressed the sadness in her heart, smiled at the corner of her lips, and said softly: "I am happy to see my husband wake up." ”

King Qi took a shallow breath and said with emotion: "During this time, the widow's mind has been floating around those days when we were in Jucheng. The widow really wants to go back to that happy time, but unfortunately, the widow can't go back. ”

When Queen Qi heard this, her heart was full of pain, and the corners of her lips still smiled: "Your Majesty, let's go back to Jucheng to live for a while." ”

Although the King of Qi had a heart, he was also powerless, and said with a long sigh: "The time left by heaven for the widow is running out. ”

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense." Queen Qi said, "Everything will be fine." ”

"How can you not know how the widow's body is?" King Qi was already not afraid of death, and said calmly: "Before the widow leaves, the most reassuring thing is you, and the king." ”

When Queen Qi heard this, her heart was sour, and her tears fell again.

When King Qi saw it, his heart was full of guilt, and he said softly: "The widow is in trouble, you follow me." Have you ever regretted it? ”

Queen Qi looked at King Qi affectionately, and said in a gentle tone: "It is my blessing to meet my husband." I never regretted it. ”

"With you in this life, what more can a husband ask for. You have followed the widow all your life, and you have not lived a good life. I'm sorry for you! ”

Queen Qi said: "It is my blessing to be able to marry the king and get together for 20 years. The king and I are the same forest birds, sharing blessings and misfortunes. Your Majesty, you are not sorry for me. ”

King Qi saw that she was suffering with her, but she did not complain, and he felt even more guilty in his heart, "If the widow owes you, the next life will make up for it." ”

Queen Qi said: "In the next life, we will still be husband and wife. ”

Seeing that he had married such a good woman, King Qi showed a long-lost smile, "We have agreed." In the next life, the widow will marry you. ”

Queen Qi clasped King Qi's finger and said with infinite warmth: "In the next life, I will marry you." ”

King Qi took a slight breath, stabilized his mind, and asked, "I vaguely heard Tian Yu's voice just now. Tian Yu, are you back? ”

Queen Qi called King Qi's body already like this, and she was still worried about state affairs, and she couldn't bear her suffering, so she comforted: "The king is weak, and the affairs of state affairs should be let go first." ”

"Time is running out for widows. Before leaving, the widow must take care of these things in order to feel at ease. You go and fetch me Tian Yu, I have something to ask him. ”

Although Queen Qi was worried about her husband's health, she couldn't stop him. Queen Qi also knew in her heart that her husband couldn't rest assured that it was the Jiangshan Sheji of Qi State.

Queen Qi summoned a waiter and instructed him, "Go and call Tian Yu in." ”

"Whoa." The waiter took the order and left.

Tian Yu saw that the king was awake, but he didn't dare to disturb. However, he did not leave either. When he went to Zhao, the king of Qi said to him: "When you come back, enter the palace to see him as soon as possible." ”

Not long after, Tian Yu came to the front of the collapse of King Qi, saw that King Qi's face was pale and withered, and said with tears: "Your Majesty, the minister is back." ”

King Qi lay on his back on the bed and asked weakly, "When you go to Zhao Kingdom, you can see An Pingjun." ”

Tian Yu nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, An Pingjun retreated from Qin Poyan and made great achievements. Wang, why did he let him stay in Zhao and assist King Zhao. ”

The King of Qi looked at him and asked, "Why did you say that the widow left him in Zhao State?" ”

"Minister, I don't know the king's intentions." Tian Yu naturally knew King Qi's intentions, but he couldn't say it.

"It's not that you don't know, you don't dare to say it." King Qi took a breath and said, "Do you think the widow is old and confused." An Pingjun has the talent to help the world and the country, how can the widow abandon it. ”

Tian Yu followed King Qi's words and asked, "The king knows that Anping Jun has the talent to help the world and the country. The king abandoned it, which was a loss for the Qi country. Please, the king summons An Pingjun back. ”

Tian Yu saw that King Qi was silent for a long time and did not speak, and said: "The minister guarantees his life, and An Pingjun will never betray the king and the country of Qi." ”

"If An Pingjun is in the Qi country, the widow will not be able to sleep steadily, and he will not be at ease when he walks." King Qi pretended not to hear what the other party said, and said with a lost expression: "No matter what the world thinks of widows, even if they say that widows are cold people. As long as the ancestors' rivers and mountains can be inherited by future generations. It doesn't hurt for a widow to be infamous on his back. If the widow had ten years, he would have been treated well. However, the days of widowhood are numbered. ”

The state of Qi went from being strong to declining, and almost the temple did not exist. What King Qi was most afraid of in his heart, how could Tian Yu not know. However, An Pingjun is talented and can be safe. Wouldn't it be a pity to discard it? Tian Yu saw that King Qi had already had an idea, and no matter what he said, he could never change King Qi's opinion.

"That's it, let's not talk about that. The infamy of the future generations is borne by few people. King Qi asked, "You met An Pingjun in Handan." He read the widow's letter and how he reacted. ”

Tian Yu remembered An Pingjun's lonely and angry look, and said sympathetically: "An Pingjun read the king's letter and only said one sentence... Qi Guo, he can't go back after all. ”

"He, what else to say." King Qi seemed to see An Pingjun's lonely and cold eyes.

Tian Yu saw that King Qi took pity on An Pingjun, and was jealous of An Pingjun, "An Pingjun said that the king let him stay in Zhao State, how can he not obey." ”

King Qi calmed down, and after a while, asked, "He doesn't have any hatred for widows?" ”

"An Pingjun has never hated the king, let alone betrayed the king." Tian Yu saw that King Qi didn't know An Pingjun at all, and said regretfully, "Zhao Guo paid homage to An Pingjun, and An Pingjun has already accepted it. ”

"An Pingjun became the prime minister of Zhao State?"

"Zhao Guo named Anping Jun as Zhao Guo's prime minister, and his title is Changjun." Tian He said again: "An Pingjun accepted Zhao Guo's worship as prime minister, and also put forward two conditions. ”

King Qi asked, "What conditions?" ”

An Pingjun said that he would not do anything that endangered the interests of the Qi country. The country of Qi is in danger and needs him. He will be obligated to return to the country, and Zhao Guo cannot hinder it. ”

King Qi listened to these two conditions, and his heart was very heavy. Only then did King Qi understand that it was he who lost An Pingjun. When the king of Qi saw An Pingjun say these two conditions in front of the courtiers of Zhao State, he still had Qi State in his heart. In this way, after his death, An Pingjun will not be killed. King Qi's heart is finally down-to-earth.

King Qi got the answer he wanted, and said in a slightly tired tone: "Envoy Zhao, you have worked hard, retreat!" ”

Tian Yu bowed and retreated.

Not long after, the prince came to the palace to say goodbye.

King Qi stretched out his hand and signaled for Prince Jian to come closer. King Qi looked at the crown prince and said gently: "When you were born, it was the worst years for the Qi country. Wang Er knew that the five kingdoms were defeated, which led to the decline of our national strength. But the king didn't know that the widow's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, these three generations of kings, were the pride of the Qi country. ”

Seeing that the child did not speak, the king of Qi said again: "The widow's great-grandfather, save Zhao and Han to defeat Wei, defeat Wei twice, and make Qi the first power in Shandong; The widow's grandfather, who attacked the Three Jin Dynasty in the west, broke the Yan State in the north, went south to attack Chu, and the Qin State was also the minister of the West in my country; The widowed father and the king, the sand was defeated, broke through the Hangu Pass of the Qin State, and the Song Kingdom of hundreds of years was destroyed by our country. It's a pity that your grandfather became famous too early, was unscrupulous, and despised the princes of the world, which led to the invasion of the Five Kingdoms. ”

Prince Jian didn't answer, and quietly listened to King Qi talk about the past.

"A widow who has spent all his life cannot reach the height of his ancestors. All the widow can do is keep the inheritance of their ancestors. King Qi recalled the glorious years of the Qi State, and thought of the current Qi State, and his tone was heavy, "The widow revived the Qi country and guarded the broken country of the ancestors." It is not easy for Qi to restore the country, and you must cherish it. ”

Prince Jian said humbly: "The child remembers. ”

Although the king of Qi knew that Wang Er was obedient, his personality was a little weak, and he advised: "After the widow leaves, the Jiangshan Sheji of Qi will be handed over to you." The widow does not expect you to succeed to the throne, make great efforts, point to the Central Plains, and be proud of the princes. There is only one requirement for the widow, and that is that the country will not die in your hands. If you are widowed, you will be blinded. ”

Seeing that this was his father's expectation of him, the prince said in a loud voice: "Child, remember your father's words. ”

"The widow has left you a lot of virtuous ministers, if you can choose the virtuous and use them, the Qi country may be able to return to the peak era." King Qi stopped, remembering that he couldn't realize this grand long-cherished wish, but handed it over to his son, which seemed a bit excessive, and said, "The mission and burden of the widow have been handed over to you." ”

"Whoa." When the crown prince saw that his father had handed over the country to him, his heart was very heavy.

Regardless of his physical weakness, the king of Qi ordered: "Xuan, the courtiers enter the palace." ”

Not long after, the important ministers of the Qi State entered the dormitory. In the dormitory, although the minister was silent, his heart was like a mirror. They all knew that the king of Qi summoned them into the palace, presumably to explain the future. When Queen Qi saw that the clan and important ministers were coming, she shouted softly, "Your Majesty." ”

King Qi opened his eyes, but he didn't have the slightest strength. The king of Qi turned his head to look at the ministers and asked: "The five kingdoms are fighting Qi, and the society of Qi is almost gone." Thanks to all of you, working together, the country of Qi is what it is today. It's a pity that the time given to the widow by God is running out. The widow cannot revive the glorious era of our ancestors with you. The widow can only entrust this heavy and long-term mission to you. Ladies and gentlemen, the widow has entrusted the country to you. ”

All the ministers said: "Ministers, you must do your best to defend the country of Qi." ”

"After the widow leaves, the crown prince succeeds to the throne." The King of Qi raised his tone and said, "You must be loyal to the crown prince as if you were a widow." You must assist the prince and defend the hard-won country of Qi. ”

All the ministers said, "Oh." ”

"Queen, help the widow take care of the king." King Qi's breath was a little hurried.

Queen Qi said, "Huh." ”

King Qi said: "Wang'er." ”

"The child is here."

"Remember, what the widow said."

"Child, remember from the bottom of your heart, don't dare to forget."

“... Very good... Widows... You can..."King Qi wanted to say something, but he felt that there was a breath in his chest and he couldn't lift it. King Qi's breath gradually deteriorated, his tone was weak, and he closed his tired eyes, "... Walk... Finish. ”

Suddenly, King Qi's voice and panting, everything was gone.

Seeing this, Queen Qi couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, and cried loudly, "Concubine, send the king." ”

Prince Jian cried and shouted, "Father." ”

When the ministers saw the death of King Qi, they said loudly: "Send, king." ”
