Chapter 115: The Monarch and the Ministers Return to Their Hearts
In the course of the day, I always inadvertently saw the crescent moon on the horizon, not to mention the late autumn when the days were short and the night was short.
From going to the court in the morning to killing Jiang Qing, angrily leaving Zhuge , sending Chen to Wei Yan's pro-political emergency report, and then bidding farewell to Xiao Wu and others, Liu Chan's day was magnificent, and behind these magnificent waves was also his careful thinking and step by step since he came here.
Liu Chan quietly thought about everything that happened during this time, until he felt a little chill on his body before he slowly came back to his senses, turned his head and found that Huang Hao was also standing motionless in front of him, Liu Chan gradually felt some warmth in his heart, this servant who had always taken care of himself thoughtfully from beginning to end, made him feel a little grateful in his heart.
Huang Hao also found that Liu Chan was looking at him, hurriedly shrunk his neck, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the evening is ready, are we going to eat?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Chan glanced at Zhang Yingying's bedroom, which had already lit up the candlelight, and turned around and walked into his bedroom behind him.
At this time, Huang Hao also hurriedly ran to prepare dinner with a smile on his face.
Liu Chan came to the bed and took off his imperial robe, there was a faint smell of blood on it, this smell he was most familiar with before, he was stunned, and after a while, he changed into an ordinary brocade robe.
As soon as Liu Chan finished cleaning up, Huang Hao also beckoned a few eunuchs to bring up a few plates of exquisite meals.
The little eunuchs slowly closed the door and retreated after putting stacks of meals on the desk, and then Liu Chan slowly knelt beside the desk.
"Your Majesty, the little one is going to call the mother for dinner."
"No need, Niangniang is unwell." Huang Hao had just taken two steps before he was stopped by Liu Chan.
Hearing Liu Chan's words, Huang Hao lowered his head again, stood behind Liu Chan obediently, and began to serve Liu Chan for dinner.
Liu Chan had just eaten two bites of food, when he saw a shadow approaching from outside the door, and before he could swallow the food in his mouth, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Yingying, who was dressed in a plain robe, walked in with a pout.
Zhang Yingying threw her hand back, regardless of whether the door was closed or not, and knelt directly opposite Liu Chan.
"See the mother." Huang Hao smiled all over his face, and then hurriedly closed the door of the house.
Zhang Yingying ignored Huang Hao and said aggrievedly: "Adou, I'm hungry." ”
Liu Chan looked at Zhang Yingying, who was pouting, and smiled: "Didn't you say you wouldn't eat dinner?" After all, Liu Chan still waved his hand to Huang Hao, realizing that he would put on a pair of dishes and chopsticks again.
Huang Hao's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly brought his clothes, dishes and chopsticks to Zhang Yingying carefully with a smile on his face.
"Humph!" Zhang Yingying glared at Liu Chan, snorted coldly, picked up the bowl, and filled a bowl of porridge for herself.
Liu Chan shook his head with a smile, and ignored Zhang Yingying, who liked to play a small temper, picked up the bowl and began to eat again.
It wasn't until a bowl of porridge was in his stomach that he felt warm in his stomach that Liu Chan slowly got up and said, "Yingying, you eat first, and I will go out." ”
"Where are you going?" Zhang Yingying hurriedly swallowed the porridge in her mouth, hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go too." ”
"I'm going to visit my father, where are you going?"
Zhang Yingying was stunned, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I haven't eaten yet!" You go, you go. ”
"Hahaha." Looking at Zhang Yingying's expression of shaking her head, Liu Chan laughed and walked out, and Huang Hao also saluted Zhang Yingying, hurriedly followed Liu Chan and walked out.
"Humph!" Zhang Yingying sat down with a dissatisfied pout, chewing the porridge in her mouth, and did not forget to complain: "Dead Adou, stinky Adou"
At this time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhuge Liang was still kneeling calmly beside the desk in his study, and Zhao Yun was also sitting with his eyes closed, but the two did not eat, but there was tea next to the coffee table of the two.
Looking at the flickering candlelight on the desk, Zhao Yun slowly opened his eyes and said, "Sir, although Your Majesty is a little reckless in the palace today, Jiang Qing should indeed be killed."
Zhuge Liang slowly raised his hand, looked at the candlelight on the desk with half-squinted eyes, and said, "Zilong, I know what you mean." ”
Zhuge Liang paused after speaking, raised his head and sighed: "Am I quite incompetent?" ”
"Don't say that, sir!" Zhao Yun's eyes have been excited, "Mr. can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire Han before the lord returns to heaven, Zilong admires it from the bottom of his heart!" ”
"Lord!" Zhuge Liang slowly opened his eyes, and Liu Bei's appearance before his death appeared in his mind again, and his eyes slowly became rosy.
At this moment, the housekeeper pushed open the door and ran over and whispered, "Master, Your Majesty is here!" ”
"Oh?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yun, and the two of them also showed a trace of doubt on their faces, after all, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang had such a stiff quarrel in the main hall today, and Zhuge Liang was still a little surprised when he heard that Liu Chan was coming.
Accident is accident, Zhuge Liang still hurriedly got up, planning to meet Liu Chan.
But as soon as Zhuge Liang got up, Liu Chan, dressed in a black robe, walked in.
Liu Chan saw Zhuge Liang who had just gotten up and looked at him at a glance, and walked in: "Father, Adou has come to see you." ”
"The minister (the last general) will see Your Majesty." At this time, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun hurriedly got up and saluted Liu Chan.
"The fourth uncle is also here!" Only then did Liu Chan see Zhao Yun next to him, and he also greeted him politely.
"Your Majesty, please be seated." Zhao Yun nodded and hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Liu Chan nodded slightly, and slowly sat down next to the empty desk, and the housekeeper also carefully placed a candle lamp next to Liu Chan's desk at this time, then put down the tea that had just been served, and slowly retreated and closed the door.
Liu Chan calmed down and said straight to the point: "Father, Adou collided with Father Xiang today, and I hope that Father Xiang will not take it to heart." ”
Zhuge Liang lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty is also to punish these corrupt officials." ”
Liu Chan naturally heard the slight dissatisfaction in Zhuge Liang's mouth, took a sip of tea gently, and said: "Adou knows that Xiang's father has some grievances in his heart, but Adou can come here to see Xiang's father today, presumably Xiang's father won't have to worry about Adou, right?" ”
"I don't dare." Zhuge Liang still calmly saluted Liu Chan.
Liu Chan listened to Zhuge Liang's official tone, suddenly fell silent, looked at the flickering candlelight on the side of the desk, paused for a moment, and said: "Before my father died, I was able to entrust Adou to my father, which was Adou's blessing, but although Adou was young, he never dared to forget his father's last wish." ”
Liu Chan said as if he remembered the situation when he first saw Liu Bei, his hair was scattered, his face was covered with dirt, and he fled towards the White Emperor City with a painful face under the support of the soldiers.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan exhaled heavily, closed his eyes slightly, and said: "Adou will never forget the situation when he saw his father and emperor that day, when his father was defeated in Wu and retreated to Baidi City, as well as those helpless people. ”
"Since the last defeat, even Dongwu has the strength to faintly overwhelm our big man, and, as well as the tiger-eyed Cao Wei, every time I think of this, Adou will feel the burden on his shoulders, fortunately, there are loyal ministers of the father and the fourth uncle to solve problems for Adou, Adou is very grateful!"
Liu Chan said and slowly saluted Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun.
"However, in this way, our big man is only dying, and even the Nanzhong thieves have a rebellious heart, why is this, isn't it because we have just experienced a big defeat, and Adou is young, so he thinks we are easy to bully!"
When Liu Chan said this, a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes, "Adou wants them to know that Adou is not young, and Adou will definitely fulfill his father's last wish and restore the orthodoxy of our Han Dynasty!" ”
Liu Chan said and turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, and said with a sincere face: "Whether it is Xiangfu or the fourth uncle, you are all Adou's elders, Adou begs you to help Adou as you help your father!" ”
Zhao Yun looked at this Liu Chan, who was somewhat similar to Liu Bei, under the flickering candlelight, even his eyes were a little trance, staring at the young Liu Chan with a resolute and sincere face, as if he remembered the years of fighting the world with Liu Bei, and then thinking about the dying man now, his eyes finally couldn't help but turn red.
With a heat in his heart, Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said: "Thanks to the lord back then, although Zilong is already old, Zilong does not dare to forget to revitalize the Han family, Zilong is willing to serve His Majesty, and also for the common people in the world to avoid the suffering of this war!" ”
Liu Chan didn't speak, but just got up and saluted Zhao Yun heavily, this old minister who had served the Han Dynasty all his life deserved his respect and saluted.
After Liu Chan finished saluting, he turned his head and saluted Zhuge Liang again, and said sincerely: "Father, help Adou!" ”
In a few simple words, Zhuge Liang's slightly lowered face was slightly red in the flickering candlelight, and when he slowly raised his head, he was already in tears.
Looking up and sighing, Zhuge Liang seemed to remember the scene of the first meeting with Liu Bei next to the Luyang thatched hut that year, two people who also have the world in mind, in this troubled world, slowly broke out of this foundation.
It's just that time has passed, the brave generals have died, and they have grown old, but he still remembers Liu Bei's sincere face and the sentence: "Sir, help Xuande!" ”
It's just that when Liu Chan said the same words in Liu Chan's mouth today, Zhuge Liang's heart seemed to be touched again, and he made the same choice back then, and nodded heavily to Liu Chan.
At this time, he seemed to feel the lord, as if he was smiling and nodding at him, but the current sky is still the crescent moon, hanging on the branches that are gradually scattered leaves, when the clouds bury the stars, only this round of crescent moon is still struggling, swaying, rhythmic, exuding a soft light, gradually the clouds dispersed, it is still this round of crescent moon competing with the stars, the light through the skylight, hit Liu Chan's immature face
(This chapter may not be well written, but the tension is really written with affection, looking forward to Liu Chan and Zhuge uniting to create a different Han Dynasty!!) )
