In a sense, the year 814 of the Gregorian calendar was a good year for the country of silk, because the autumn of that year generally received a bumper harvest of grain in the Yellow River Valley. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is a significant reward for Liu Yan's governance of the Yellow River over the years, and an important victory for his internal stability, which is clearly recorded in the history books. In addition, in the winter of that year, Liu Yan's favorite concubine Lu Yu gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Liu Yan gave the name Liu Xin, and also crowned Lu Yu as Concubine Gong, which was also a great joy for the royal family. But as the saying goes, good and bad depend on each other, but in the winter of that year, something happened that made Liu Yan completely lose his joy, that is, Liu Xianzhi, the king of Yan, fell ill.

Liu Xianzhi, the king of Yan, has been very weak since he was a child, and he is a notoriously sick man, but the strange thing is that after he was crowned the king of Zhongyi County and took charge of the military affairs of one party, his physical condition was quite stable, and there was no sign of illness in the course of previous expeditions and battles, so some people even rumored that his sick rumors were just deliberately staged by him in order to let others relax their vigilance. But this time, the illness was menacing, and it knocked King Yan down at once.

For Liu Yan, Liu Xianzhi is a heavyweight in the clan and even in the army, and of course his illness cannot be taken lightly. Liu Yan immediately sent the best doctor in Tai Hospital to check Liu Xianzhi's pulse, but the result made Liu Yan's heart even heavier. According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Liu Xianzhi's physical condition is not optimistic, he was already weak and sickly, and later improved to a certain extent after years of recuperation in warm areas, but the long military career and the cold climate in the north are very unfavorable to his body, if it were not for Liu Xianzhi's own attention to recuperation and a good doctor by his side, then he is likely to have fallen ill a long time ago. However, Liu Xianzhi's illness is still related to the illness he fell into the ice a few years ago. At that time, he was seriously ill because of the ice water, and almost never missed the military affairs, and it was because of that illness that Abicheril took advantage of the weakness and almost hit Chang'an City. Later, after careful recuperation, he finally recovered his health, but it was just an illusion, because Liu Xianzhi was committed to annihilating the army invaded by Tuqi in the most critical recovery period to make up for the mistakes he had made before, and that war did save some face for Liu Xianzhi in the end, but because of the fatigue and planted the root of the disease, and then he added the northern land to protect and garrison in Shahu City, where it was a bitter cold place that increased the consumption of his body, so when he returned to Chang'an to recuperate for a period of time, the accumulated pain in his body finally broke out, All at once he was bedridden. Although the doctors have prescribed medicine, even if it can be effective, the disease still needs to be slowly recuperated, and it can not be exhausted to get better, and it can be expected that the disease will not be cured for a year and a half.

Since the imperial doctor has said so, then Liu Yan can't be too reluctant, there is nothing else to do except order to use the best medicine and often go to the house to visit.

Originally, Liu Xianzhi's condition did improve after taking medicine, but things changed after the turn of the years. Seeing that in mid-February, Kankan had already seen that spring was coming, which was the best recovery period that the imperial doctors hoped for, but Liu Xianzhi's condition suddenly deteriorated. Liu Yan was furious about this, but the news that came later made him sad - Liu Xianzhi's physical condition was slightly better, and he began to serve again. You must know that the reason why Liu Xianzhi, as a sick and weak prince, was able to lead the army of the Silk Country to fight for many years without defeat was due to his extraordinary mind and the huge intelligence network he had spread out over the years to provide him with a steady stream of intelligence. Even if Liu Xianzhi could entrust military affairs to Gao Dingbian and return to the south to recuperate, his intelligence network never stopped operating for a moment, and once he, the supreme command, stopped working, the operation of his intelligence system would be affected, especially the final analysis and application of all kinds of intelligence, which had always been personally handled by Liu Xianzhi.

During the period of Liu Xianzhi's illness, all kinds of information piled up, and Liu Xianzhi himself was a master who did not work hard but worked, even if you hid this information and didn't show it to him, it couldn't stop him from thinking about it in his heart, the doctors could cure the disease, but they couldn't stop his thoughts, so the deterioration of his condition this time was almost determined by his own character, not by manpower.

Liu Yan, who learned of the situation, saw the expressions of the imperial doctors who wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that the situation had reached a very bad situation, he didn't want to know the result, but he had to ask: "Can His Royal Highness King Yan get better?" ”

"Wechen and the others can only do their best."

Although he was mentally ready to hear this, when this sentence really came out of the mouth of the imperial doctor, Liu Yan still felt the pain of being beaten and punched in his heart. You must know that Liu Xianzhi is only twenty-seven years old this year, and he is the youngest of all the commanders in the Silk Country, but he is about to face the end of his life.

Just when Liu Yan was immersed in grief, the news came that Liu Xianzhi wanted to meet him, and Liu Xianzhi also asked Liu Yan to take Wu Sicheng with him.

Of course, Liu Yan didn't say a word, put down the government affairs in his hand and rushed to the Yanwang Mansion. At this time, Liu Xianzhi's mental state was already quite poor, but because he originally had a sick face, now except for getting thinner and thinner, his face is almost the same.

"Your Majesty, my brother is sick and can't salute." Liu Xianzhi seemed to want to sit up.

Liu Yan hurriedly pressed him back to the bed: "Where are you talking, lie down quickly, don't work your body." ”

Liu Xianzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the younger brother knows how far his physical condition has become, and now for the younger brother, the result of more movement and less movement is the same, it's just a difference in time." ”

"Don't be cranky, your illness is caused by thinking too much, you just have to relax and recuperate."

"Your Majesty doesn't need to comfort your brother, your brother's body is unknown to others, and he understands it in his heart. According to the body of the younger brother, he could only be raised for a lifetime in the palace, and finally ended his life in a luxurious room. Fortunately, His Majesty favored him, and entrusted his brother to military affairs, and His Majesty's blessings, his brother has not insulted His Majesty's trust over the years, and his brother has also been able to serve the court with what he has learned, and he has no regrets in this life. However, the younger brother still has the intelligence system that has been operating for many years in his hands, and it would be a pity if it is destroyed, so the younger brother wants to hand over these intelligence personnel to Lord Wu Sicheng, and with the talents of Lord Wu, he will be able to better serve His Majesty. ”

When Liu Xianzhi said this, there was a violent cough, Liu Yan hurriedly beat his back, and after finally calming down, Liu Yan clearly saw that there was already a pool of blood on his quilt. Liu Xianzhi said again: "Your Majesty." The younger brother has another word, I hope His Majesty will approve it. ”

Liu Yan said with tears in his eyes: "You just say it." I'm all right. ”

Liu Xianzhi nodded and said, "A few days ago, I heard that the acting lord of Badana of the Path Empire, Dadaran, was at war with the Sindra army, and I also heard that the Path Empire was also at war with the Frank Kingdom. Such a two-front war of the Paz Empire will inevitably make its internal emptiness, and if other countries are involved in it at this time, its country will be chaotic. I hope that Your Majesty must pay attention to it, if there is a change in the Paz Empire, then the strategy adopted by our Western Regions region must also change in the future. In addition, after our dynasty occupied the Flying Eagle Fort, the eastward advance of Tibet had been blocked, and an area like this would only need to be garrisoned by a steady general. On this changeable autumn, it would be a bit too wasteful to put someone like Wang Hanxin in a place like Shannan Road. Although Wang Hanxin acted uninhibitedly and was resolute and harsh, he was a general who could be entrusted with important tasks. Your Majesty can put it in an appropriate position depending on the situation in the world, and it will certainly be of benefit to Your Majesty. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said: "You are all sick like this, and you still remember the major national affairs, I already know everything you said, and I will transfer it back to the capital." You can recuperate in peace and don't bother anymore. ”

"I have already said what my brother wants to say, and now I have no regrets even if I die." After Liu Xianzhi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
