Chapter 710: Entrustment
Sun Chengzong was not able to go to Ningyuan to announce the decree in the end, and the new military department Shangshu Lu Shan went to Ningyuan to announce the decree on his behalf and resigned from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.
Entering December, Sun Chengzong's body became heavier and heavier, knowing that time was running out, Sun Chengzong trembled and wrote a note, asking to see Su Tiancheng.
Zhu Youzhen naturally allowed it, and immediately issued a holy decree to summon Su Tiancheng to Beijing.
Su Tiancheng achieved his goal, his request, the emperor approved all of it, and the Qingzhou Mansion was also placed under his direct jurisdiction, so that he had enough space to plan his own plan in advance.
The news of Sun Chengzong's critical illness soon spread to Ningyuan, and Su Tiancheng, who had planned to leave for Dengzhou, was so anxious that he postponed his trip, but without the holy decree, he couldn't return to the capital casually.
After receiving the holy decree, Su Tiancheng did not delay for a moment, and hurried to the capital, he knew that Sun Chengzong was old, and after so many years of hard work, he had completely emptied his body, and he was afraid that he would not be able to support it.
rushed to the capital, the eunuch waited at the official post, and directly told Su Tiancheng that there was no need to go to the palace to meet him, and he went directly to see Lord Sun, Su Tiancheng didn't say much, turned around and went towards Sun's mansion.
Sun Chengzong was lying on the couch, describing it as withered, his energy was completely exhausted, like a burned candle, when he was still in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, he had to be strong, and he could not let go of the things at hand. I couldn't afford to get sick, which everyone didn't expect, but Sun Chengzong himself knew that his limit had arrived.
There are still many things that have not been arranged in time, and Sun Chengzong can't close his eyes. He needs to see Su Tiancheng, he needs to entrust Su Tiancheng, he needs to entrust a lot of things, he must see Su Tiancheng.
The atmosphere in the mansion was extremely depressing, Sun Quan also rushed over from his hometown, and after seeing Sun Chengzong, Sun Quan, who was in his fifties, also cried bitterly, and he hadn't seen his father for several years. The father who used to be a dragon and a tiger turned out to be like this, and he looked powerless.
Sun Siming, Sun Sizong and others also rushed back.
Sun Quan hurriedly entered the bedroom.
"Father, Lord Su Tiancheng is here."
Sun Chengzong, who had been in a semi-comatose state, suddenly jumped his brows and opened his eyes.
"Hurry, hurry up, please ...... Lord Su"
After Su Tiancheng entered the bedroom, everyone withdrew from the bedroom.
Looking at Sun Chengzong. Su Tiancheng opened his mouth guiltily.
"My lord, it's all the fault of the juniors. Recommending the adult to enter the imperial court destroyed the adult's body, and the younger generation still remembers that when he was in Gaoyang County, the adult's body was so strong, and it was only a few years. ”
"Kun Yuan. Don't say that, the old man still wants to thank you, the old man has had several ups and downs, and he has been for the court all his life, and now he has finally unloaded this burden. The old man and you are forgetful friends, many times, the old man is happy for the emperor and the court, if it weren't for your appearance, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will encounter more turmoil. ”
"If the younger generation doesn't get the full support of the adults, they won't be able to do these things."
"No, all this is your ability, the old man knows the way, you are the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty, the old man has seen too many people in his life, as excellent as you, or the first person, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, the old man knows the road, your road is not easy to walk."
Su Tiancheng looked at Sun Chengzong and didn't speak, he was sensitive to the fact that Sun Chengzong must have something very important to say.
"The old man is familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by Luo Guanzhong, Zhuge Kongming is the prime minister worshiped by ten thousand people, and the old man has no intention of comparing, but Liu Bei's plot of Tuogu, the old man remembers it very clearly, these days, in the old man's mind, there are often such situations, as if Zhuge Kongming is standing in front of the old man."
"The old man has been loyal to the court all his life, and he has experienced four emperors, I am afraid it is rare, and it is precisely because of this that the old man has learned a lot of things and has to worry about it......"
Speaking of this, Sun Chengzong coughed, and Su Tiancheng hurriedly supported Sun Chengzong and gently beat his back.
At this time, Su Tiancheng found that Sun Chengzong's spirit suddenly became very good, and his face flushed, and he knew that this was a sign of returning to the light, and Sun Chengzong's limit had really arrived.
Su Tiancheng became serious.
"What do adults have for the juniors, and what are the entrustments, the juniors will definitely do their best."
Sun Chengzong nodded with satisfaction, smart people just speak differently, and he won't hide it.
"The situation in the court, the old man is aware of the Tao, the merit is high, the old man thinks, you will definitely encounter such a situation, the old man wants to say, you must focus on building Dengzhou, Laizhou, plus Qingzhou, with enough capital to settle down, no matter what happens in the court, you have to face it calmly, the future of the Ming Dynasty depends on you."
Su Tiancheng had no expression on his face, and he didn't speak, the secret of his heart was discovered by this old man in his old age, which was not a bad thing, on the contrary, from Sun Chengzong's words, he felt expectation.
"The emperor is dedicated, dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, which is worthy of admiration, but unfortunately the emperor is not a generation of heroes, there are a lot of defects, the old man thinks, in case one day, the emperor is not good for you, you have to focus on the stability of the Ming Dynasty, don't let the Houjin Tartars take advantage of it."
"The old man once thought that he wanted to see the day when you exterminated the Houjin Tartar, the old man couldn't hold on, but the old man was down there, and he had to worry about it all the time."
"The old man has something to ask you, the old man Brother Liu's son, the eldest Sun Quan is old, return to his hometown, keep the family business, the second grandson, keep the family business in the capital, the third grandson, can't study, can't get fame, but is calm, can enter the court to do things, just follow you, go to the governor's mansion to do things, the fourth Sun Wei and the fifth Sun Yue, the temper is a little impatient, it is not good to enter the officialdom, just enter the Jiangning camp, go into battle to kill the enemy, and the eldest grandson Zhixin, also follow into the Jiangning camp, as for the old Liu Sun Pei, Staying in the capital to study, after graduating from Guozijian, he participated in the examination, and the old man pinned his hopes on Sun Pei to be able to gain fame and fame, and he would not disgrace my Sun family. ”
"My lord, the younger generation will definitely do a good job in this matter."
"Kun Yuan, the old man pleases you."
Sun Quan, Sun Jie, Sun Xuan, Sun Wei, Sun Yue, Sun Pei, Sun Zhixin and others all entered the bedroom and knelt in front of the bed.
"I told Lord Su everything I asked you to do, and Lord Su also agreed, Sun Quan, Sun Ji, you keep the family business well, take care of many family members, Sun Xuan, enter the Governor's Mansion to do things, you must obey Lord Su's arrangement, Sun Wei, Sun Yue, after you enter the Jiangning camp, you will fight and charge ahead, kill the enemy for your father, Sun Pei, study well in the Guozi Prison, and gain fame, Sun Zhixin, you are the eldest grandson of the old man, after entering the Jiangning camp, learn from Sun Siming, Sun Sizong, Sun Siming, Sun Sizong, The two of you have followed Master Su, made great achievements, learned a lot of things, and now you have become an official of the imperial court, the old man is very pleased, you must continue to persevere. ”
"The old man has another word, the children and grandchildren of my grandson family must remember, no matter what happens, no matter how big the accident is, you must follow Master Su, unswervingly, remember to remember, this is the old man's request, if you dare to disobey, he will not think about going underground to see the old man in the future."
Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, he understood the meaning of Sun Chengzong's words.
He, who had been sitting next to him, also stood up at this time.
Looking at the people kneeling in front, Su Tiancheng also knelt in front and spoke to Sun Chengzong.
"The trust of adults, the younger generation will not forget it for a lifetime, the younger generation swears here, as long as the younger generation still has a bite to eat, they will not forget the brothers, the Sun family encounters any difficulties, the younger generation must be responsible for resolving it, this is the responsibility of the younger generation, the safety of the Sun family in the future, it is the responsibility of the younger generation, the younger generation swears, if the oath is violated, the sky will hit five thunders."
Sun Chengzong stood up stiffly, ready to help Su Tiancheng, Sun Quan, who was kneeling in front, hurriedly helped Su Tiancheng up.
Su Tiancheng spoke to Sun Quan.
"Please come in and meet all the family members."
After saying this, Su Tiancheng left the bedroom after facing Sun Chengzong.
Soon, everyone in the Sun Mansion entered the bedroom in turn, Sun Chengzong's original wife Wang, died of illness as early as Sun Chengzong was fifty-six years old, and now the task of managing the mansion naturally fell on Sun Quan and Sun Ji.
A few minutes later, the cry came from the bedroom.
On December 3, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, the former assistant of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness.
Su Tiancheng's tears also came out, Sun Chengzong's will said everything, for such an old man who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, saying these words means that he has experienced a huge mental torture, and it means that Sun Chengzong has clearly seen the problems faced by the Ming Dynasty, and some problems are probably not completely solved by the imperial court.
Sun Chengzong's entrustment, of course, Su Tiancheng will not forget, and he must do it.
Soon, Wang Chengen came to Sun's mansion.
Wang Chengen is the chief eunuch in the palace, and Zhu Youzhen sent Wang Chengen, which means that he attaches great importance to Sun Chengzong's death, and Su Tiancheng expects that Zhu Youzhen will come soon.
Sure enough, half an hour later, Zhu Youzhen came to Sun's Mansion.
Seeing Zhu Youzhen shed tears, Su Tiancheng's heart had mixed tastes, Zhu Youzhen is not a bad person, if it is a few hundred years later, he must be a sunny young man who is loved by everyone, but unfortunately he was born in the royal family and became the emperor, so he had to think about too many things and had to fight for the interests of the royal family.
