"Water, water is coming......"

Just when Yan Gongdao was coughing violently, suddenly a rush of footsteps sounded, Yan Shaobing frowned, and looked at it, but it was the girl who hurriedly ran over with a cup of hot water.

"Dad, drink some water first, don't rush, speak slowly!"

Yan Ning brought the water in Hua Qiao's hand, then blew it with his mouth again, handed it to his mouth for Yan Gongdao, and immediately looked at his brother on the side and waved his hand to him.

"Quick, go and ask Mr., let Mr. see, how is my father!"

Yan Shaobing and Yan Ning are brother and sister after all, they understood at once, and he also scolded secretly, why didn't he think of it, first let Lang Zhong come to see if his father was getting better, and when he heard it, he was immediately stunned, and when he was stunned, Yan Shaobing urged, and he woke up like a dream, and then ran out in a hurry.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Ning'er, Shao Bing......"

Yan Gongdao took a sip of water, obviously the breath was much smoother, he looked at the children on the side, trembling and stretched out his hand, Yan Ning couldn't understand what he meant, looked at Yan Gongdao's skinny big hand, grabbed it in his hand, and on the other side, Yan Shaobing also stretched out his hand to his father.

"Shaobing...... Bing'er ...... Have you ever blamed you...... Cough...... Blame the father? ”

As soon as Yan Shaobing heard Yan's fair words, his eyes immediately turned red, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, he understood what his father meant better than anyone else: "Father, although I am not sensible, I also know my father's arrangement, and I understand everything my father has done for our Yan family!" ”

He really knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that Shaowu Hengyong now had to promote Yan Shaobing and do things for the imperial court, and it was a mandatory order, Yan Gongdao would never let his son embark on a career in office.

No one knows better than Yan Gongdao, a person who has been in the officialdom for most of his life, he knows Shaowuqing's temper, and he also knows Shaowu Hengyong's temper, their Yan family is already extremely prosperous, if it weren't for only one Yan Shaobing, I don't know how many rights and wrongs will be caused.

Yan Shaobing didn't understand why his father didn't let himself go out and serve the imperial court, his talent and learning would definitely not be under Liu Lian, but Yan Gongdao just didn't allow it, so he also gave up on himself, and stayed in the gentle township all day long, which is home, and he rarely returned, and later he got too close to Shaowu Heng'an, and Yan Gongdao also specially mentioned it, so if he said that he didn't have a little grudge against his father, it was a lie, but too much had happened in the past year, and Yan Shaobing finally understood that their Yan family, has always been on the cusp of the storm.

"Hmm...... Not...... It's good that you understand, it's good to understand, son, for the Father...... Father...... Even...... No, huh...... Cough...... Cough...... However, I still have some things to tell you............ Cough...... You two brothers and sisters ......"

Yan Gongdao saw the tears in Yan Shaobing's eyes, and was slightly relieved, unconsciously, his son was finally grown up, he couldn't stop nodding, and his face was also a strange ruddy.

Back to light?

Yan Shaobing and Yan Ning glanced at each other, and their hearts hurt even more, they are not children, they naturally understand that their father is now dying, they can't help but shed tears, but they don't dare to make a sound, for fear that Yan Gong will hear it.

"Father, just give me what you ask, and I will do it so that I won't let you down!"

Yan Shaobing glanced at his nose, the indescribable sourness and pain, his heart was like a knife, it was so difficult to say this sentence from his mouth.

"Good...... Good...... Okay......"

Yan Gongdao said three good words in a row, and his hand also slapped the back of Yan Ning's hand, and then closed his eyes again, as if recalling: "I, when I was more than ten years old, came out to work hard, entered Beijing to catch the exam, for several years, I finally became the title of the gold list, became a county official, decades of hard work, no one thought that a small county official, did the end of the people, under one person, above ten thousand people, and sat in this position for so many years, everyone knows that I have infinite scenery, who knows the pain of walking on thin ice!" ”

At this moment, Yan Gongdao's words were no longer finished, he stopped coughing, and the resentment in his chest finally disappeared, he sighed, the past was like a cloud, and he never looked back......

Yan Shaobing and Yan Ning didn't say a word, they just listened to what their father said there, and even drove out all the servants in the house, and there was nothing in the whole house except for Yan Gongdao's rapid breathing.

"The first emperor died and burned incense, and I had no power to return to the sky, so I could only bend my knees and bear infamy, who knows...... Who knows the pain in my heart, who knows, am I afraid of death, I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that this Great Xia soldier will collapse overnight and become history, no one takes the lead, I take the lead, people, you must always live, live to do things, and have the brain to think about every ......"

"Old dust, shameless, what kind of infamy, I have borne it, the people I have preserved, but I also hate me to the core, I have become a stinky rat that everyone shouts and beats, heh, heh......"

Yan Gongdao suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his children, and there were two lines of tears in his eyes, the bitterness in his heart was blocked, and he couldn't say it, until he was going to die, he didn't have a chance to say it.

"Shaobing, son, sometimes, fame, this thing that can't be seen or touched, is indeed compared to ...... It's more important than life, cough...... You, you have to follow Your Majesty, win glory for the country, share your worries for Your Majesty, don't ...... Don't let my Yan family become a laughing stock and leave a stench for thousands of years...... Legacy ...... The stench of ......"

He suddenly sat up by himself, talking to Yan Shaobing, but his eyes were looking straight at his daughter, his eyes were full of hope and pain, and there was a trace of inexplicable pleading.

"Father...... Father ......"

Yan Shaobing finally cried, looking at his father's outstretched hand, he grasped it tightly, but this hand could no longer move, and the owner of this hand was already dead......

"Daddy...... Daddy......"

Yan Ning cried like a tearful person, beating his chest and head, as if he was crazy......

After half a day's effort, the entire Emperor Kyoto knew the news, and the military department Shangshuyan was fair and passed away!

The whole Yanfu is white, and the smell of fragrant wax paper money wafts everywhere, there is no sadness, only coldness, after all, this winter has not passed.

No matter how Yan Gongdao says, it can be regarded as a big mountain in the imperial capital, his sudden death has filled the entire imperial capital in a panicked atmosphere, at this moment, the officials in the imperial court are finally a little uncomfortable, they suddenly found that what they did as an official was a little at a loss, and they didn't know what to do, and Shaowu Hengyong was also frowning all day long, and his heart was unspeakably bored.

"Did Boss Yan die of illness?"

In the bluestone workshop, Liu Lian's mansion, Concubine Yun sat in the hall, quietly listening to the return of the subordinates, and couldn't help frowning, at this moment, Liu Lian has not returned, and there is such a big event in the imperial capital, it is really a big disaster!

Concubine Yun thought of the catastrophe in her heart, nothing else, it was Yan Ning, she and Liu Jian have been married for a long time, although they have never really worshiped heaven and earth, but she and Liu Jian are a veritable husband and wife, but for a long time, she has not been pregnant, so she is often in a place where there is no one, washing her face with tears, worrying about her own incompetence.

She knows what kind of background she is, so when she was with Liu Lian, she didn't marry Liu Lian, she knew that if her colleagues in the officialdom knew that Liu Lian had found someone like her to be the wife of the main room, it would definitely make people laugh, so she also strongly disagreed with Liu Lian marrying her swaggering, so the problem is that Liu Lian lacks a main room, and she and Liu Lian are also childless......

Succession, when is it a big deal, Liu Lian doesn't think much about it, but Concubine Yun can't help but think about it, and coincidentally, Yan Shaobing is also thinking about it.

In the Yan Mansion, Yan Shaobing and Yan Ning sat in the hall, and their complexions were not particularly good, especially Yan Ning, who saw that the whole person was much weaker.

"Ning'er, today, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Yan Shaobing looked at his sister and sighed slightly in his heart, although he was a little unbearable, he still decided to open his mouth and say something to Yan Ning.

"Hmm!"

Yan Ning nodded and didn't say a word, his eyes were full of hollowness, without a trace of brilliance.

"Ahem, Ning'er, what Daddy said that day, do you remember?"

Yan Shaobing cleared his throat, sat down beside his sister, and spoke slowly, he spoke very slowly, as if every word was being considered.

"Hmm!"

Yan Ning still nodded, and agreed in a low voice, not knowing what he was thinking.

"When people live, sometimes reputation is more important than life, Ning'er, do you understand?"

Seeing that his sister didn't react at all, Yan Shaobing sighed, and finally grabbed Yan Ning's shoulders again, his eyes full of solemnity and complexity.

"Brother, what do you want to say, you might as well say it directly!"

Yan Ning finally raised her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked very haggard, this was the first time she had spoken in the past few days, so her voice was also a little hoarse.

"My father is criticized by the world, everyone thinks that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has no temperament as a scholar, so he regrets it until he dies, and he doesn't blink his eyes to death, Ning'er, I know, the Liu Fa who rebelled is the Liu Fa you met back then, but now you can only choose to be against him, you must stand on the side of the court with the Yan family, understand?"

Yan Shaobing finally said the words in her heart, her expression was serious, unquestionable, but Yan Ning was stunned, she was a little stunned, and she didn't understand what her brother meant.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Yan Ning took a deep breath, then looked at Yan Shaobing, his words trembled, as if he was being judged, and asked softly.

"I mean, you can't be with Liu Fan, you have to marry Liu Lian according to your father's wishes, understand?"
