At the beginning of August of the thirteenth year of Xiantong, Li Bao received news from Yangzi that Zhang Yichao's condition had deteriorated and he was already in a dying state, so he asked Li Bao to meet him quickly.

Li Bao was so anxious that he immediately led Hu Sanbao to the Zhang Mansion in Xuanyangfang, and when he arrived at the Yellow Gate at the gate of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, he didn't dare to stop him when he saw that it was Prince Ji. Just hurriedly gave the royal palace a return, and this auspicious king went out again.

When the carriage arrived at Zhang's mansion, Li Bao rushed in, so frightened that Hu Sanbao chased after him, for fear that Li Bao would bump into it again.

When Li Bao entered the inner courtyard and Zhang Yichao's bedroom, the whole room was full of people inside and outside, except for the servants and maids, the rest were some officials and friends who had a deep relationship with Zhang Yichao.

Zhang Qingping, Zhou Rui and other five people also gathered here, and Wu Anzheng looked tired and haggard. Wannian County ordered Zhao Zhizhao to also stay outside the house, everyone saw that Li Bao had arrived, and they all saluted Li Bao, Li Bao waved his hand, walked straight to Wu Anzheng, took his hand, and asked eagerly: "Uncle Wu, how is Master Zhang?" ”

Wu Anzheng and Zhang Yichao are lifelong friends, and Li Baozun calls him uncle. Wu Anzheng once resisted extremely, but he couldn't resist Li Bao's insistence. Hearing Li Bao ask this, his old face, which was usually unsmiling, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing his expression, Li Bao also guessed. Zhang Yichao's life has come to an end, and Li Bao is very sad in his heart.

Wu Anzheng choked up at Li Bao and said, "Situ is dying, please go in and meet him quickly, he has been waiting for you." ”

Li Bao let go of Wu Anzheng's hand and pushed open the closed door, the weather is already hot outside, but in Zhang Yichao's room, the windows everywhere are closed. The room was dimly lit and candles were lit.

Li Bao went in and closed the door to get used to it for a while, only to find that there were still a few people in the house. Weiyangzi was dressed in summer clothes, sitting in the room and meditating with his eyes closed. Hearing the movement, he opened his eyes and saw that it was Li Bao coming, he nodded at Li Bao, and Li Bao also nodded in understanding.

There were also three people in the room, two older and one young. I saw that one of the two middle-aged people had a very similar face to Zhang Yichao, and the other middle-aged man looked very similar to the young man, and it seemed that he was a relative.

After Li Bao entered, the three of them should have known that it was Zhang Yichao's prince's apprentice who came, and they saluted him one after another. Li Bao hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute and asked them for their names and surnames in a low voice.

From their reply, Li Bao learned that the person who looked like Zhang Yichao was Zhang Yichao's nephew Zhang Huaiding. The other two are cousins, Li Mingda, the governor of Liangzhou, and Li Mingzhen, the Sima of Liangzhou and the fruit sacrifice wine. Among them, Li Mingzhen also has an identity as Zhang Yichao's son-in-law.

After everyone finished greetings, Li Bao looked at Zhang Yichao, now this famous hero in the Western Regions is still asleep, and the panting sound in his nose is very heavy. It was so difficult to breathe that it was obvious that he was in a very poor state.

Li Bao turned to Wei Yangzi again, looked at him inquiringly, and Wei Yangzi said in a low voice: "Lang Jun can wake up Situ, and he will wake him up when you come." ”

Li Bao stepped forward to sit on the edge of the bed and called in a low voice: "Master Zhang, Master Zhang......", and called Zhang Yichao several times before waking up leisurely. With his cloudy eyes open, he looked at Li Bao laboriously, and only after he recognized that the person who came was Li Bao did he smile.

Li Bao, Zhang Huaiding and others hurriedly lifted Zhang Yichao up and put him at the head of the bed, so that he could sit upright and talk. After this toss, Zhang Yichao's face was flushed, and his breathing was even more rapid.

Li Bao was busy beside him, gently brushing his chest to help him calm down. Zhang Huaiding and the three of them looked at Li Bao, their eyes were full of admiration, this prince was so close to Situ, it really made them feel that Li Bao was very different.

After a while, after taking a breath, Zhang Yichao said to Weiyangzi: "The master also asks to wait outside, and I have something to say to Liulang." ”

When Weiyangzi heard this, he saluted Li Bao and Zhang Yichao and withdrew from the room.

Zhang Yichao looked at everyone, and then said to Li Bao: "Liulang can come, a certain is very pleased, and a certain horse will be a lifetime." To have this glory is not in vain. ”

Li Bao couldn't help but tears in his eyes when he heard this national hero of the late Tang Dynasty speak, Zhang Yichao looked at Li Bao weeping, raised his hand and stroked his head and said: "Idiot, don't be such a child." A certain man vows to stand up to the sky. Only by doing a great career will you not feel that your life is wasted. ”

Li Bao listened to Zhang Yichao's words, hurriedly wiped away his tears with his hands, and said loudly to Zhang Yichao: "Master Zhang's teachings, keep them in mind, and you will not dare to forget them!" ”

Zhang Yichao smiled lovingly, touched Li Bao's head again and said: "It's good that Liulang can have great ambitions, but your temperament is too kind, if it seems calm today, but the undercurrent is turbulent, and chaos is coming, too benevolent can't protect your life, and you must not be benevolent to women!" ”

Li Bao listened to Zhang Yichao's words, and was secretly shocked in his heart, this Zhang Yichao is worthy of being experienced in the world, seeing things and knowing the subtleties, and having insight into the world. At this time, it can be foreseen that the end of the Tang Dynasty is coming, which is really not simple. But at this time, it was useless to say this, he could only nod his head and say yes.

Zhang Yichao saw that Li Bao listened to his advice, and he was happy in his heart, it was really his great luck to receive such an apprentice in his later years. This son is inconspicuous, but he easily got rid of several eunuchs in the palace. When he was his age, he was just a playful child.

Zhang Huaiding and others looked at Li Bao so well-behaved and sensible, and they were also very puzzled, such a child could do so many earth-shattering things in less than a year, it was really difficult to estimate what kind of existence this little body was?

Zhang Yichao coughed a few times, and Li Bao hurriedly stood up and gave him a gentle slap on the back. Zhang Yi's mood smoothed out, and he said in a low voice: "A certain yang life is over, there are some things in my heart that I really can't let go, today you are all here, say a certain piece, otherwise I am afraid that I will be brought to the coffin." ”

Li Bao hurriedly said loudly: "Master Zhang, please speak, if you ask about the envoy of the Guiyi Army, I am ashamed that I failed to convince the adults." ”

Zhang Yichao waved his hand and said: "You can't blame you for this matter, you have done your best, and it is clear in your heart that the reason why the imperial court has not been envoyed by Huaishen Festival for a long time shows that the ministers in the court are still suspicious of a certain Guiyi Army, and they are afraid that the tail of a certain Guiyi Army will not be able to fall off, and it will be difficult to control it in the future." This time I just want to take care of the Guiyi Army after I die. A certain innocent man is heartfelt, cares about Datang, and never dares to forget! ”

After saying these words, Zhang Yichao's face flushed even more, and his wheezing became even greater, and Li Bao hurriedly stroked his chest again. Zhang Huaiding also patted his back gently.

When Zhang Yichao was relieved again, Li Bao said to Zhang Yichao: "Protect here, swear to Master Zhang and all of you, and make every effort to persuade all the ministers in the court and the central government to seek the position of deputy envoy Zhang as soon as possible." ”

When Zhang Yichao heard this, he was very pleased, and said to Zhang Huaiding and the others: "Liulang said so, he is a great benefactor of a certain Guiyi Army, and Balang still doesn't thank him on behalf of a certain person?"

Zhang Huaiding woke up like a dream, and immediately bowed down in front of Li Bao, Li Bao was willing to accept his great gift, who knew that the Li brothers also followed behind Zhang Huaiding, and the three of them visited Li Bao together.

Li Bao hurriedly helped the three of them up one by one and returned the salute. Zhang Yichao's face has turned gray, and it seems that it takes a lot of energy to speak.

Li Bao saw that Zhang Yichao was sleepy again, and today he finished speaking in front of Li Bao and the wealthy family of the Guiyi Army, his wish has been fulfilled, and the only thing that he cares about the Guiyi Army's festival envoy cannot be solved at this time.

Li Bao planned to go out first, and then discuss the matter in the long run, but found that Zhang Yichao's state was not right, and his breathing was slow, and Li Bao was anxious. Hurriedly shouted: "Master Zhang? Master Zhang? ……”

At this time, it was already late, Zhang Yichao was already unconscious, and when he heard Li Bao's shout outside, Weiyangzi pushed open the door and came in, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to open Zhang Yichao's eyelids, and then probed his hand on his pulse. After a while, Weiyangzi whispered to Li Bao, who couldn't stop shouting: "Lang Jun mourns, Situ has gone." ”

Li Bao listened to Weiyangzi's words, his body stiffened, turned his head suddenly, and said angrily at him: "You, you are talking nonsense!" How could Master Zhang die? No, no......" he howled.

Everyone present was moved by Li Bao's emotions, and Hu Sanbao, who had never seen Li Bao so out of shape, was even more shocked. How could Lang Jun be so miserable? Is it because of this teacher that he hasn't met a few times?

Zhang Huaiding and Li Mingda brothers were very puzzled by Li Bao's outburst, how could this prince treat Situ so affectionately? Zhang Huaiding felt a little embarrassed, he was Zhang Yichao's nephew, but he didn't think that Li Bao, the apprentice who was accepted halfway, was so affectionate.

Li Bao was very sad at this time, this sadness not only came from the death of Zhang Yichao, a teacher, but also mixed with his long-term feelings of missing his relatives, as well as his deep mourning for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the grievances of this glorious late Tang Dynasty figure.

Such a meritorious hero, in the suspicion of the mediocre Li Yi and the greedy Wei Baoheng, died with indignation and unwillingness, and left like this.

Li Bao held Zhang Yichao's hand that was gradually losing temperature, and the grief and indignation in his heart were even worse. But he can only be sad and angry, and today's political hall is still Wei Baoheng's world. He wanted to go to Wei Baoheng immediately, but what was the use of going to him at this time? Not to mention whether he will agree to his invitation, he is a prince who actually intervenes in the government politics, what kind of waves will this cause?

Zhang Huaiding took Li Bao's hand beside him and said silently: "Please mourn Lang Jun, my uncle has already gone, Lang Jun still has to take care of himself." ”

Li Bao cried for a while before he reined in his mood. At this time, since Zhang Yichao has passed away, he is not very suitable here, and an official position like Zhang Yichao will be handled by officials from the Ministry of Etiquette. He couldn't stay here longer, so he worshiped Zhang Yichao again and left.

Back at the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, everyone knew that Zhang Yichao had passed away, and all the palace people were cautious. didn't dare to anger Li Bao at this time, which made Lang Jun angry.

Ling'er was thinking about what to say to comfort Li Bao, and at this time, people from the palace outside the door came to report that Han Quanyu, the envoy of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, had come to visit.
