The two brothers of the Murong clan in the post house, after being imprisoned for a month, have begun to be a little decadent, especially Murong Ke, who is listless all day long, and it seems that all their sharp energy is consumed in this post house like a prison.

"Second brother, I don't think that old boy in Shi Jian can be counted on." Murong Ke sat against the door, looking out with a somewhat dull gaze.

Murong Jun put down the book in his hand and said, "You have been chanting this sentence for a month, and you can't stop it?" Cheer up, okay? ”

Murong Ke turned around and said, "We've all been locked up here for a month, if he wants to save us, how can he still not move!" ”

Murong Jun was choked by his words, indeed, if Shi Jian really wanted to rescue and be a favor, he should have done it a long time ago. But more than half a month has passed since the last time someone sent a note, and there has been no movement at all.

Every time he thought of this, Murong Jun was also wondering in his heart, but he knew that everyone's spiritual dependence was on him alone, no matter what the circumstances, he couldn't mess up, otherwise, maybe before Shi Jian came to the rescue, they would all be driven crazy here.

"Wait patiently, if he doesn't want to take care of this, why bother sending someone to send us a message." Murong Jun thought about it, but he could only find this reason to convince Murong Ke.

Murong Ke suddenly got up, ran to Murong Jun and sat down, and whispered with a serious expression: "If you want me to say, if you really can't do it, let's kill it, as long as the second brother can return to Xianbei, we will have a chance!" ”

"Outside, the iron bucket surrounded by the people of Zhao State, how can you kill it? Just us? Even if they can break out of this post house, I'm afraid that few people will be alive. ”

"Second brother! Why are you mother-in-law at the critical moment? The lives of these subordinates were ours! It's also a matter of their own hands to be crushed to pieces! ”

"You ......"

Before Murong Jun finished speaking, another thing flew in from the window and hit the pillar.

Murong Ke reflexively jumped up and rushed to the window to take a look, but still didn't see anything.

"What the hell! Someone did it! Murong Ke scolded in a low voice.

When Murong Jun heard Murong Ke's muttering voice, he understood what was going on, so he picked up the stone on the ground with the note wrapped in it, took it off and looked at it, only to see that it read: "Ten days later, someone answered." ”

"What is written?" Murong Ke walked over and asked.

"See for yourself." Murong Jun handed the note to Murong Ke.

"Ten more days to wait!" Murong Ke angrily pulled the note and smashed it to the ground.

"Pick it up and burn it!" Murong Jun glared at him, then ordered.

Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, looked at Murong Jun's sharp gaze, and was immediately stunned, obediently picked up the note, and threw it into the carbon furnace.

"Wait patiently for another ten days!" Murong Jun clenched his fists and said with a somewhat solemn face.

"What if there's no movement in ten days?" Murong Ke asked.

Murong Jun was silent for a while, slowly walked to the pillar, suddenly pulled out the sword hanging on it, turned around and slashed it down, and the candle brush on the table was broken in two.

Murong Ke was taken aback by Murong Jun's move, because Murong Jun in his impression rarely used his sword.

"If there is no movement after ten days, then as you said, kill it!" Murong Jun actually had a murderous look on his face, and he was extremely calm.

"Good!" When Murong Ke saw him like this, he immediately raised his strength.

Shi Zhan received Shi Hu's summons, so he hurried into the palace, who knew that outside the Hongguang Pavilion, he was told that Shi Hu had fallen asleep and was going to wait outside the palace.

From noon to near Shen, Lu An finally came out to pass the word: "Master Hou, Your Majesty is awake, let you in." ”

"Thank you!" Shi Zhan nodded slightly.

"Master Hou is polite, please!" Lu An is also very knowledgeable.

Shi Hu sat on the edge of the bed with the support of the two little eunuchs, and Shi Zhan, under the guidance of Lu An, arrived outside Shi Hu's bedroom.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

"Come here." Shi Hu beckoned and commanded weakly.

Shi Zhan got up, took a closer look, and was startled by Shi Hu's appearance, in just a few days, Shi Hu's hair was a lot grayer, and his face was much older, changing his former elegance.

"Have you heard the news sent by Wang Shicheng?" Shi Hu didn't notice Shi Zhan's expression, and raised his head slightly and asked.

"I've heard about it......" Shi Zhan nodded slightly.

"The Huns don't die in my heart, this time we have suffered again, I really can't swallow this breath in my heart!" Shi Hu said, breathing a little short.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Lu An reminded carefully.

Shi Hu raised his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

Then he looked at Shi Zhan and asked, "Tell me, what should this Hun do?" ”

Shi Zhan thought for a while and said: "The trouble of the Huns has existed since ancient times, and there is no other way to kill such an uncivilized Yidi. ”

Shi Hu was stunned, he didn't expect Shi Zhan to say such a ruthless word, and asked, "Do you have a good plan?" ”

"The expedition to the Xiongnu must have adequate preparations, when Emperor Wu Liu Che poured the strength of the whole country to keep the peace of the northern Xinjiang for a hundred years, but the price paid was also quite heavy. Although today's Xiongnu is not as strong as the Xiongnu of the past, our Zhao State does not have the national strength of the Han Dynasty, so the top priority is to recuperate, develop production, and expand the population. A few days ago, His Royal Highness King Yan approached Erchen and discussed the matter of garrisoning Tuntian, and Erchen thought it was feasible. ”

"I have heard about this matter in Tuntian, wait for the second child to come up with a specific plan, and then discuss it to see if it is advisable!"

"Your Majesty." Shi Zhan saluted slightly, saw Shi Hu's weak appearance, and said, "Father, you are not feeling well, why don't you lie down and rest?" ”

"I'm not there yet." Shi Hu shook his hand and said, "Help me get up and walk." ”

Shi Zhan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Shi Hu to stand up slowly.

"I go out for a walk, you don't have to follow, all retreat!" Shi Hu instructed Lu An and the others.

"Yes!" Lu An bowed and retired, and handed a thick cloak to Shi Zhan by the way.

Shi Zhan took the cloak, put it on Shi Hu's body, and said, "It's windy outside, so you should wear it." ”

Shi Hu wrapped his cloak and walked out of Hongguang Pavilion with Shi Zhan, and Lu An and the others could only stand far away, not daring to approach.

"How many years have you been with me?" Shi Hu faltered and asked Shi Zhan beside him.

"For as long as I can remember, Erchen has been by your side, and it should have been forty years now." Shi Zhan lowered his head and replied in a low voice while supporting Shi Hu.

"It's forty years and ten months!" Shi Hu stopped, looked at Shi Zhan, and suddenly there was a hint of love in his eyes, and he snorted: "I was only twenty back then, and when I picked you up from the battlefield, you could barely walk...... In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed. ”

"The father's nurturing grace cannot be repaid by the sons!" Shi Zhan felt a little touched in his heart, and his nose was sour.

"Over the years, I have done a lot of ridiculous things, and I can only tell you this, although your brothers are all my biological sons, but there are few who can handle them, blame me for having no way to teach my godson, otherwise the fourth child would not have rebelled back then......"

"Father, this matter has long passed, why should you blame yourself?" Shi Zhan comforted.

"The country conquered by Emperor Taizu must not be destroyed in my hands, so there is one thing, I want to hear your opinion."

"You say."

"I have thought about it again and again, among all the sons, no one can compare with you, Xiao Min, this child is brave and strategic, both civil and military, so I plan to make you the crown prince and pass it on to you, and you will pass on the throne to Xiao Min in the future." Shi Hu said.

When Shi Zhan heard this, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Father, this matter must not be allowed!" ”

"Why not? You have outstanding achievements in war, you know people well, how do you compare with the second and the nineth? Shi Hu said firmly.

"Since ancient times, the inheritance of the emperor's throne is about the bloodline that has been passed down from generation to generation, if the son is a prince, the name is not right, the words are not good, in the country and the community, all kinds of harm and no benefit, please take back the fate of the father and the emperor no matter what, and change others!" Shi Zhan's forehead was close to the ground, looking extremely sincere.

"I have made up my mind, you don't have to refuse, after a while, I will announce it to the world! Make you a store! ”

"Father think twice! How do you convince the kings and the old nobles? Once the prince is established, it will inevitably plunge the Zhao State into strife, please retract your order! Shi Zhan was emotional and disagreed.

"Even the second child said that it is more appropriate to pass on the throne to you, and he is willing to support you, but you are unwilling! I haven't heard of an emperor who doesn't want to be an emperor! Shi Hu said angrily.

"No matter who Your Majesty appoints as the prince, the sons will definitely be loyal to the Zhao State, but you must not appoint the sons, this is the only requirement of the sons!"

Shi Hu shook his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, you get up, you really make me have nothing to say!" ”

"Yes......" Shi Zhan slowly got up from the ground and stood beside Shi Hu.
