Chapter 229: White Emperor Tuogu (I)
Liu Bei was even more sick than he imagined, and he hadn't seen him for more than half of the time, and this resolute and tenacious old man was already extremely weak and haggard.
His hair and beard turned snow-white, his face was full of large age spots, and his calloused fingers were yellow and scary, when he saw Zhao Hao, he grinned weakly, and before he could say "Zixuan", he began to gasp for breath, desperately holding the cough in his chest.
"Your Majesty, if you feel uncomfortable, cough it up!" The Imperial Doctor said distressedly on the side.
Liu Bei waved his hand hard, signaling that it was okay, he sat up, looked at Zhao Hao with a gratifying face, Zhao Hao's heart throbbed, and he quickly sat down beside Liu Bei's bed, grabbed the old man's thin and rough hand, and said sincerely:
"Wechen is late, and I hope that the Son of Heaven is not strange."
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief with difficulty and said with a smile: "I ...... I can't die yet, I can see you at last, I'm in a good mood, and it seems that I can last a little longer.
You have suffered in the past two years, and the big man has you...... Luckily! ”
Zhao Hao's soul is a modern person, so naturally he will not have any flattered consciousness, but the old man's thin hand was suddenly tightened, which still made Zhao Hao feel the infinite sincerity in his chest.
Liu Bei was born poor, although he walked the rivers and lakes as a clan member of the Han family, but he was far inferior to his brothers of the same clan, and even Liu Ye could not compare.
But it is this poor background of the down-and-out prince and grandson, who has never forgotten the determination to revive the Han Dynasty, for decades, he has been fighting all the way, and has never given up his beliefs because of successive failures, even at the dying moment, what he thinks about is still his unforgotten ambition.
Guan Yu, who has been taking care of him by Liu Bei's side, couldn't help but burst into tears, this tall man is also old and afraid, how can he still be like the brave and fearless general back then,
He had been observing the state of his eldest brother, and seeing that Liu Bei's voice was becoming more and more hoarse, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Zixuan, you go down first, Your Majesty can't be too excited." ”
That's right......
Liu Chan hasn't come yet, if Liu Bei suddenly runs out of vitality, he really leaves a grudge for eternity, he wanted to pull his hand out of Liu Bei's hand, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to hold it tightly and said softly:
"Well, I know I have a few days to live.
Zixuan, tell me about Jiaozhou, as well as the matter of Shiting, has the murderer who killed Yide ever correct the law?
Has Soochow ever been embarrassed with you?
How is Jiaozhou's spring ploughing this year?
Can the prince's knowledge be beneficial?
And also...... Sun's ...... Luckily? ”
Liu Bei asked a bunch of questions like he was afraid that he would hang up at any time, he gasped for breath, Guan Yu was anxious and helpless, stretched out his hand and kept pulling his hair, and motioned to Zhao Hao with his eyes to say something nice.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the murderers of the three generals were all captured alive, and when Zhang Bao arrived in Xiangyang, he would cramp and peel the skin of the two thieves and avenge the three generals!"
Liu Bei nodded with relief, and his breathing gradually calmed down,
Zhao Hao continued: "Dongwu is not afraid, and they are all willing to look up to my Han Tianwei and work together for a great cause.
Jiaozhou is also very good this year, the people under the rule of Liu Zhou are full of warmth, praise the virtue of the Han Dynasty, and the prince is also diligent in royal affairs, and dare not have the slightest neglect......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw that Liu Bei had fallen asleep, and his old face was full of relaxed smiles.
Guan Yu was slightly stunned and sighed: "Big brother hasn't slept so deeply these days, you ...... Let him sleep a little longer. ”
Guan Yu and Zhao Hao haven't seen each other for a long time, of course they want to have a chat, Guan Yu wanted to drink, but was stopped by Zhao Hao, even so, when talking about Zhang Fei's death, Guan Yu still couldn't help but burst into tears, and punched the table.
"I hate it! Yide Hero I actually died at the hands of Xiaoxiao, if the eldest brother hadn't heard about it, he wouldn't have become like this! ”
Guan Yu didn't realize that he was already aging rapidly, he kept coughing while being excited, Zhao Hao hurriedly patted his back with his hand to calm him down a little.
Hero twilight, this is the law of nature, Liu Bei has come to an end, and in a few years, Guan Yu ...... And so it will be.
Guan Yu seemed to feel the pity in Zhao Hao's eyes, and he straightened his body proudly, not wanting people to notice his decadence.
He sat in a daze for a long time, and suddenly said, "You did a good job." ”
"What?"
"The Battle of Shiting, I've heard about it, and only you kid has such a plan, if it were me, I'm afraid that I would still be fighting to the death with Eastern Wu now, but it made Cao Wei see the joke."
It is rare that such a proud person as Guan Yu will take the initiative to admit his shortcomings, Zhao Hao was a little surprised, he just wanted to say something to comfort Guan Yu, Guan Yu let out a long sigh again.
"Big brother is afraid that he won't be able to return to Chengdu, what will happen to the big man in the future?"
His pair of Danfeng eyes looked weakly into the distance, full of confusion.
For decades, they have been following Liu Bei to fight for a dream, saying that it is a dream, but in fact, it is more to follow this big brother who refuses to admit defeat easily.
But now the eldest brother's health is getting worse and worse, and everything will go in the future.
"What is the general thinking? Even Gaozu and Guangwu cannot be eternal, the Son of Heaven has done everything he should do, and it will depend on us in the future. ”
A few days later, Li Yan arrived in a hurry, this guy with great power wanted to talk to Zhao Hao alone, but Zhao Hao has been in a hurry these days-
Although he left Xiangyang, he is still the supreme commander of the Beiwei Army, and there is a large-scale transfer of people in Jiaozhou this time, and he has to act in statistics one by one, and negotiate with Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, how can he have time to blow water with Li Yan, but this is in the eyes of the arrogant Li Yan, and it is completely different.
Hey, this kid is shameless, and he deliberately avoided me, yes, this product came earlier than me, and he must have climbed Zhuge Kongming first.
Li Yan has always been unwilling to be under Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang and Zhao Hao reach any tacit understanding, he will no longer be able to confront Zhuge Liang in the court.
After all, Zhao Hao is the son-in-law of the general Guan Yu, and he commands a heavy army, and he has won the trust of many martial artists.
No, no, no, I have to find a way to change this.
Zhao Hao's martial artist is okay, but if Zhuge Liang rides on his head, this is something that Li Yan will never tolerate.
So, he decided to take the initiative and talk to Zhao Hao.
"Champion Hou!"
Li Yan is a very standing person, he deliberately squatted at the door of Zhao Hao's military tent, saw Zhao Hao coming out of the house, and ran out very enthusiastically, striding towards Zhao Hao with a smile on his face like a native acquaintance.
There are countless people who have greeted Zhao Hao in the city recently, and Zhao Hao didn't remember which one Li Yan was at all, he nodded lightly at Li Yan, and hugged his fists:
"This ......"
Before he could finish his greetings, Liu Ye hurriedly ran over and shouted anxiously:
"Champion Hou, the crown prince has arrived!"
"Damn, come so fast!"
Liu Chan ran all the way from the South China Sea, both by water and by land, and the speed was only slightly slower than Li Yan, Zhao Hao was too lazy to care about the passer-by who saluted him, so he hurriedly returned the salute, and hurried towards Liu Bei's bedroom with Liu Ye's footsteps.
Li Yan, who was left aside, looked very embarrassed, and suddenly reacted after a while.
The prince is coming?
No, I'm going too.
Liu Bei's body has deteriorated visibly with the naked eye, and now he is almost all hanging with an obsession, Li Yan heard the imperial doctor say that he has not eaten water and rice for several days, and he may not be able to survive the moment when the prince comes.
Li Yan was shocked and anxious, and hurriedly ran behind Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao saw that the person was actually running in the same direction with him, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Who is that person, and how can he run faster than a certain reporter?"
Liu Ye ran out of breath, and sighed when he heard the words: "I know you but don't know?" This person's name is Li Yan, and he is a member of Yizhou, and I heard that he was summoned by the edict to the White Emperor this time. ”
"Li Yan?"
Zhao Hao glanced at the breathless scribe running behind him in surprise, and couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that he was as elegant as the wind, and his handsome and clean face didn't even have wrinkles.
Although Li Yan's role in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is not much, it leaves a deep impression, when he was a child, Zhao Hao always felt that if it wasn't for this thing to do it, maybe Zhuge Liang's Fourth Northern Expedition would not end hastily.
This product is said to be a talent, but because of emotional intelligence, it really can't be put on the stage, and it basically belongs to the regular role in Ji Han's camp, but why did Liu Bei call this product here.
didn't have time to think about these problems, Zhao Hao and Liu Ye hurriedly dressed up, and walked quickly into Liu Bei's dormitory under the guidance of the chamberlain.
Although the weather is hot now, the hall is still cold and afraid of heat, and in the daytime, the dormitory is still lit with a few dim candles, so that the hall has always maintained a depressing and fearful atmosphere.
Liu Chan knelt in front of Liu Bei's couch, sobbing incessantly, he saw Zhao Hao and Liu Ye coming in, quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and choked up: "Champion Hou, you are here...... I...... Our brothers in the academy are all thinking of you! ”
Li Yan happened to hear this sentence when he entered the door with his hind feet, and his heart jumped violently, and he felt that his throat was gradually dry, as if something was stuck there.
"The prince doesn't want to be like this, so that the ministers are terrified."
Zhao Hao gently patted Liu Chan's shoulder to show comfort, and the panicked Liu Chan saw that Zhao Hao seemed to finally have a backbone when he entered the door, he forcibly squeezed out an ugly smile and choked up:
"Father, father's body, what...... What's going on......"
Liu Bei had been asleep, perhaps because he heard the noise around him, he slowly opened his eyes, looking at the young man who was kneeling in front of his bed and crying, his dim eyes seemed to flash a hint of brightness.
"Is it Adou?"
"Father!" Liu Chan was surprised and delighted, grabbed Liu Bei's hand, and kept shaking.
"Adou, you're finally back. Jiaozhou is good, is there any trouble? ”
After not seeing him for a long time, Liu Chan has changed from a white and tender little fat man to a dark and sturdy stick guy, and his voice has become more and more rough, making Liu Bei almost dare not recognize him.
He slowly got up from the bed, put his face close to Liu Chan, looked at his sad appearance with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but say dumbly:
"Don't cry, you are my Liu Bei's son, how can you be like this!"
Liu Chan hurriedly wiped his tears, but he still couldn't stop the tremor in his heart, he held Liu Bei's hand tightly, choked and said: "Erchen doesn't cry, Erchen has been taught by the champion Hou, and he won't cry for a long time.
It's just that I haven't seen my father for a long time, and I miss it very much, so I ...... So I can't help it. ”
Liu Bei happily touched Liu Chan's head, slowly straightened up, he let go of Liu Chan's hand, stood proudly on the ground, and said in an arrogant voice:
"Yes, if you study well, you will work hard for your father in vain." 21 Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "The Great Conspirators of the Three Kingdoms Literature" for free reading for the first time.
