392 Hu Guang died
In the past two years, not only have the north and south developed in a balanced manner, but the Nanyang islands have also been taken over by the Han Dynasty. The current Han Dynasty has set up six states in Nanyang, and Lu Zhi's governor's palace has also been moved to Irian Island.
These things are not the most gratifying. Due to the continuous connection of highways and railways, Dahan's traffic is extremely smooth, and when the traffic is smooth, the flow of goods is fast, so all kinds of enterprises in Dahan are quite profitable. Coupled with the help of entrepreneurial loans and venture capital, it is quite simple for people to start a company, which makes all kinds of companies in Dahan everywhere.
The more companies there are, the higher the taxes of the imperial court. This company everywhere has made Dahan's financial income in the past two years a record high. When the imperial court has money, it will invest a lot in public utilities and infrastructure, and when public utilities and infrastructure are developed, it will be easier for the people to make money, so that the Han Dynasty has directly formed a virtuous circle.
Looking at the achievements of the past two years, Liu Hong is quite proud. You must know that the first two years of Dahan only solved the people's food and clothing, and the development of the past two years has basically made the people well-off. This is a great achievement for Liu Hong. After all, in later generations, so many public servants who are dedicated to serving the people have crossed the river by feeling the stones for so many years, and they have only achieved this achievement. You said, Liu Hong is alone, and he has so many public servants, how can he not be proud.
Liu Hong is proud here, Bi Lan, who is in charge of the construction of the new capital, is here, "Your Majesty, after the continuous efforts of the slaves and maids day and night, the construction of the new capital city was finally completed a few days ago, and Your Majesty, you can already move the capital." ”
"Ah, it's done so soon?!" Hearing Bi Lan's words, Liu Hong was so happy. After all, this new capital city was completed, and he could move to the spring city that he had been thinking about day and night.
"Your Majesty, it's not very fast." Seeing Liu Hong's excited look here, Bi Lan was even more happy, and explained to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, it has been more than three years since the construction of the capital began. In addition, the construction personnel are sufficient, and the construction can be carried out day and night, and the building materials are all new, which also saves a lot of time for the construction. It's not very fast. ”
"How can it not be happy? You know, it will take a year or two to build a building in the future, and you will build a city here in more than three years, and it will almost reach heaven! Liu Hong was very happy that Bi Lan could be so modest, "Yes, you are definitely indispensable to the construction of the new capital so quickly, don't worry, I will reward you well." ”
After listening to Liu Hong's words, Bi Lan was about to go crazy with joy. To be honest, Bi Lan doesn't care much about Liu Hong's reward, you must know that the oil and water for the construction of the new capital city are quite rich, and he has already made enough money. And the reason why he is happy is that he feels that he still enjoys the grace.
Eunuchs live by the emperor's favor. For example, in the past few years, eunuchs of all sizes have supervised the construction of the new capital under his leadership, and they are as majestic as they are. So much so that they have the feeling they had back then. That's why the eunuchs are now all headed by him. But the problem is that when the capital is built, they can pretend to be powerful, but now that the construction of the capital is over, he is afraid of returning to the situation of being ignored in the past. But now that he heard that Liu Hong was going to reward him, he was finally relieved, after all, if his holy family was not there, Liu Hong would definitely not take the initiative to reward him.
"Your Majesty, slaves and maids do not need to be rewarded. Slaves and maids do things for Your Majesty, it is all right, Your Majesty does not need to take it to heart. ”
"How's that going to work?" Listening to Bi Lan's words, Liu Hong smiled and shook his head, "If you have merit, you must be rewarded, otherwise who will serve me in the future." But you are a special person, and I want to think carefully about how I can reward you. ”
Hearing Liu Hong's words, Bi Lan was even happier, but as soon as he wanted to speak, a palace maid ran in in a panic, "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, Hu Shangshu is critically ill!" ”
"What, what's going on, wasn't he okay when I saw him yesterday?" Hearing the palace maid's words, Liu Hong's heart rose with an ominous premonition, "Could it be that Hu Guang really can't survive this time?" ”
Hu Guang is definitely the oldest courtier in the court. Now he is eighty-seven years old, has been an official in the dynasty for more than 50 years, and has been in the public phase for more than 30 years. In his life, he was a secretary five times, seven times, and three according to the mound. And since he took power, Hu Guang has been in charge of the officials for him, which is conscientious and conscientious, and there has never been a problem, but it has saved him a lot of heart. A person like this suddenly wants to leave him, and he really can't accept it.
However, Liu Hong also knows that birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, and even if he is the emperor, he still can't change it. And according to history, Hu Guang should have died five years ago. Now that he has lasted five more years, it is already a fluke, and it is too unrealistic to think about other extravagant hopes.
Seeing Liu Hong's appearance, the palace maid was a little scared, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu was still fine this morning, talking and laughing with people in the ministry, but I don't know what the reason is, he suddenly fainted." And Zhang Shangshu and Huayuan have already seen it, saying that Hu Shangshu is very dangerous this time, and it is very likely that he will not be able to survive. ”
"And so it was!" Hearing the palace maid's words, Liu Hong's heart was pinched, "Let's go, go to Hu Shangshu's mansion." With that, he took the lead and walked outside the palace.
Hu Guang originally had four sons, but the eldest son and the fourth son died early, and now only the second son Hu Wei and the third son Hu Ning are by his side. The two were informed that the emperor was going to visit Hu Guang, who was critically ill, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurried to the door to wait. And as soon as they arrived at the door, Liu Hong came in a hurry.
Seeing Liu Hong coming, the two hurriedly stepped forward to salute. And now at this time, Liu Hong still took care of this, stretched out his hand to support Hu Wei and Hu Ning, and asked eagerly: "How is Lao Shangshu, is there any better now?" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid my father, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this level!" Hearing Liu Hong's question, Hu Guang's two sons burst into tears.
Hu Guang's two sons are also fifty or sixty-year-old old men. Liu Hong's heart was also quite uncomfortable when they shed tears, he reached out and patted the shoulders of the two, and stepped into the door.
Liu Hong entered the gate, and the two hurriedly followed the guide and brought Liu Hong to Hu Guang.
Now Hu Guang is still in a coma, and Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo are all busy by his side. When Liu Hong came, the two hurriedly got up and saluted.
"The two Aiqing don't need to be polite." Liu Hong waved his hand at the two of them and asked, "How is Lao Shangshu's situation now, is there any danger?" ”
Hearing Liu Hong's question, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo both shook their heads in unison. Seeing this situation, Liu Hong's heart immediately cooled.
"Two Aiqing, you are all saints in the medical world, is there no way at all?"
"Your Majesty, Lao Shangshu's body is not sick, but he is too old. In a situation like this, we simply can't do anything about it. ”
Liu Hong, Zhang Zhongjing, and Hua Tuo were talking like this, and Hu Guang on the bed suddenly coughed violently. Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo hurriedly went over to check.
"How is it, what is the situation with Lao Shangshu?"
Seeing the two of them busy there, the hearts of the people in the room rose to their throats.
"Your Majesty, with the current situation, Lao Shangshu's time is running out." Saying that, Zhang Zhongjing sighed, "After a while, Lao Shangshu should wake up, if you still have anything to explain, take advantage of this period of soberness, just hurry up and explain." ”
Although all the people have been mentally prepared, the absolute majority of people still can't accept the final verdict. The tears fell down with a snap. And at this time, Hu Guang woke up.
Due to the reason for the return to light, Hu Guang, who came to his senses, seemed more energetic. But everyone knows that when Hu Guang's spirit goes down, it will be the end of his life.
Thinking that he was about to say goodbye to Hu Guangyong, Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Hu Guang found Liu Hong beside him.
"Your Majesty, you are here." As he spoke, Hu Guang wanted to struggle to get up. Seeing this scene, Liu Hong hurriedly helped him up, "Old Shangshu, don't move, lie down quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this level this time." Hu Guang was also very aware of his own situation, he took Liu Hong's hand and said, "To be able to serve His Majesty, Lao Chen is fortunate to have three lives." If there is really a next life, the old minister will still serve His Majesty! ”
Hearing Hu Guang's words, Liu Hong's eyes turned red directly, and he held Hu Guang's hand and said, "Old Aiqing, don't worry, your family will take care of you for you." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, rest assured." Hearing Liu Hong's promise, Hu Guang's eyes were full of relief.
Liu Hong knows that Hu Guang's time will not be too long, he can't always dominate others, and he needs to give people a little time to explain the future to their children. So, he summoned Hu Guang's two sons over.
Hu Guang's two sons had already thought about it, but because Liu Hong was there, they didn't dare to get too close. Now that Liu Hong was called, they immediately knelt down in front of Hu Guang.
Seeing this scene, Liu Hong was no longer there to be an eyesore, and went directly to the courtyard. And when Liu Hong came to the courtyard, it was only a tea time, and the cries of Hu Wei and Hu Ning came from the room.
Crying together, it means that Hu Guang has passed away. And Hu Guang's death not only means that those old ministers have begun to leave, but also represents the end of an era for Liu Hong. Therefore, Liu Hong couldn't hold back any longer, and two lines of tears burst out of his eyes. (To be continued.)
