Sun Chengzong suddenly became critically ill.

It has been nearly two years since Sun Chengzong moved to Nanjing, but most of his family members are still in Gaoyang, Baoding, as one of the personnel of the staff of the Nanjing Military Department, Sun Chengzong is basically in name, and Sun Chengzong, who is already 80 years old, cannot participate in many discussions, and his physical condition does not allow it at all.

It should be said that Sun Chengzong's stay in Nanjing is contradictory in itself, on the one hand, he felt the wealth of Nanjing and even Nanzhili and Zhejiang, on the other hand, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty in his heart, but many conversations with Zheng Xunrui made him feel the huge problems and hidden dangers in the Ming Dynasty, and also realized that these problems can not be solved, if they cannot fundamentally solve many problems, the Ming Dynasty can not continue to maintain.

In this torment, Sun Chengzong finally found it difficult to support.

The one who reported that Sun Chengzong was critically ill and wanted to see Zheng Xunrui was Sun Chengzong's grandson Sun Zhixin, who was already a guerrilla general of the Zheng family's army, and his training in the military camp gave him a lot of fortitude.

When Zheng Xunrui arrived, Sun Chengzong was already in a coma.

Zheng Xunrui always knew that Sun Chengzong's health was not good, and he also understood Sun Chengzong's inner torment, but Sun Chengzong became critically ill so quickly, which was beyond his expectations.

Zheng Xunrui entered the house, Lang Zhong hurriedly walked over and whispered Sun Chuanting's condition, which roughly means that he is too old and has no strength, so he can only prepare for the future.

Sun Zhixin woke up his grandfather Sun Chengzong and exited the house with Lang Zhong.

There were only Zheng Xunrui and Sun Chengzong left in the house.

Sun Chengzong's eyes were very blurry, and when he saw Zheng Xunrui, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Zheng Xunrui held Sun Chengzong's hand and felt cold, he knew very well that the vitality was draining from Sun Chengzong's body, this military strategist of the Ming Dynasty. I'm about to finish my life.

"Sir, take good care of your body, there are some things you don't understand, so you don't have to think about it so much."

Sun Chengzong's cloudy eyes shot out a trace of fine light.

"Zheng, Master Zheng, the old man is still breathing. is just waiting for adults, people are dying and their words are good, the old man has some words, he has long wanted to say it, and if he doesn't say it, there will be no chance. ”

"The old gentleman said yes."

Sun Chengzong's hand was straining, Zheng Xunrui knew what it meant, and hurriedly helped Sun Chengzong up and leaned the pillow against his back.

After taking a few breaths in succession, Sun Chengzong's complexion looked slightly better.

Zheng Xunrui looked at Sun Chengzong. He didn't speak, he sat quietly on the edge of the bed and waited.

"The old man did not do a good job in his life, he was only admitted to the Jinshi at the age of forty-two, and when he was sixty years old, he began to camp in Liaodong in Beijing to resist the Houjin Tartars, but unfortunately the old man's ability was limited. The situation in Liaodong is still dangerous, and the old man has not been able to really defeat the Golden Tartars. I've been feeling uneasy. ”

Zheng Xunrui opened his mouth, he wanted to open his mouth to comfort Sun Chengzong, but in the end he didn't speak.

"The old man was born a person from the Ming court, and died a ghost of the Ming court, before he met the adult, the old man had no other thoughts at all. After Zhishi went home, he also thought about the court, the emperor, and hoped that my Ming dynasty would be strong and rich, and that the court could completely defeat the Houjin Tartars. Completely exterminate the rogues. ”

"If the old man is twenty years younger, he must be the opponent of the adult, the adult's mind, the old man has already seen it, I remember that when the old man first came to Huaibei, he was thinking about Xingshi and asking for guilt, but the visible facts made the old man have nothing to say, if the court can do things according to the concept of adults, why did I get to such a situation."

"The old man has seen too much, I know that my Ming Dynasty's chronic illness can not be changed, the adults promote the integration of the officials and gentry to pay food, as well as the collection of trade taxes, these measures have proved to be wise and correct, but these are impossible to be supported in the court, the adults of the Manchu Dynasty, can be dedicated to the emperor and the court, there are very few, most of them are for their own interests, once their interests are moved, they will oppose regardless of the reason."

"Zheng Jiajun's bravery, the old man sees it in his eyes, the old man knows very well that the only one who can completely exterminate the Liukou and defeat the Houjin Tartars is Zheng Jiajun, and the court can't do this, but it's a pity that the court can't see this, or don't want to believe this, blindly squeezing out Zheng Jiajun, the game between adults and Donglin Party members, and doing the greatest tolerance, it can't be done by changing to an old man."

"The old man is about to leave, it's okay to go, it's a hundred, and there are many things that don't need to be thought about and worry about......"

When he said this, Sun Chengzong's face became even paler, and he coughed a few times in succession.

Zheng Xunrui hurriedly patted Sun Chengzong's back.

"Sir, take a break."

Sun Chengzong waved his hand slightly.

A ray of fine light shot out from Sun Chengzong's eyes, containing majesty and unyielding, and in an instant, Sun Chengzong's whole person looked very good.

Zheng Xunrui's heart trembled, he knew very well that Sun Chengzong's life was about to come to an end, this was a typical return to the light, once this breath poured down, it was the arrival of the end of life.

After all, Sun Chengzong is the emperor's young master, the prince and the prince, the scholar of the Zhongji Palace, the secretary of the ministry and the secretary of the military department, his majesty still exists, and when he returns to the light, the momentum he shows is completely different, which makes people look up.

"Lord Zheng, the old man knows your thoughts, over the years, the old man has been very hesitant, feeling that the Ming Dynasty has lost hope, and it is about to collapse, the old man is trying his best to save the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he does not have such a strong ability, the old man once thought that you were the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and finally able to turn the tide, but the old man is still wrong, the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will end in your hands in the end."

"The old man just said that after closing his eyes, he can't care so much, but before he swallows, the old man still has to say what he thinks in his heart."

"Men stand up to the sky, do it neatly, you rely on the development of Nanzhili, this road choice is very correct, but the old man thinks that you are not ruthless enough, especially in the face of the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party is the representative of the scholars, and has also been supported by many scholars and businessmen, if you can't completely recover them, then you have to completely eliminate them, and want to get moral support, and think about being able to seize the world, this is impossible."

"For example, the old man, once Lord Zheng decides to seize the world, the old man's final choice is to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and will not follow the side of the adult, like the old man, the adult should not show mercy in the process of seizing the world, such things abound in history, just say that I Ming Dynasty, when Ming Chengzu seized the throne of Emperor Jianwen, he killed I don't know how many people, among which Fang Xiaoru is a typical representative."

"The old man never meets each other, and he doesn't believe in those face-to-face words, but the first time the old man sees an adult, he feels very strange, the golden scales are not a thing in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter the wind and clouds, and the old man does not dare to say it in words about the feeling of adults."

"The old man hopes that the adults can treat the people kindly, so that my Daming country will be stronger and prosperous......"

Zheng Xunrui's heart was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Sun Chengzong before his death, would say such words, would say so many such words, in front of the old man Sun Chengzong, explanation is useless, and there is no need to explain, people don't know how much wind and frost they have experienced, and they can't see anything.

Sun Chengzong was able to put his heart in his heart before he died, in fact, it shows one thing, the Ming royal family has no hope, even if Zheng Xunrui does not come forward, there will be Houjin Tartar or Liukou to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, in comparison, Zheng Xunrui stood up, can protect the interests of the Han people to the greatest extent, so that the people can really live a good life.

However, people like Sun Chengzong will not really take refuge in him, when Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sought the throne of his nephew Emperor Jianwen, many people stood up against it, not to mention him, a courtier of the Ming court.

Sun Chengzong's words hit the nail on the head, that is, to warn Zheng Xunrui that those who do big things are not informal, and don't do the things that lead to the establishment of the archway, which will cause their own image to suffer, and they should do it clearly when they should rebel.

While Zheng Xunrui was still pondering, Sun Chengzong on the bed had no breath.

Zheng Xunrui, who suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly held Sun Chengzong's hand, his hand was already cold, he touched it up with his hand, and found that Sun Chengzong's body had become cold.

Sun Chengzong's eyes did not close, obviously not blinding.

"Mr. Sun, don't worry, I won't harm the children of the Zhu family, the Zheng family army must completely exterminate the Liukou, defeat the Houjin Tartars, and let the people live a stable and peaceful life."

After saying these words, Zheng Xunrui smoothed Sun Chengzong's eyes.

Sun Chengzong's eyes miraculously closed.

On the seventh day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the young master, the prince and the prince, the former scholar of the Zhongji Palace, the secretary of the ministry, the secretary of the military department, and the pioneer of the Guanningjin defense line, Sun Chengzong, died of illness in Nanjing.

The news soon spread to the capital, and the emperor decreed that Sun Chengzong was posthumously presented as the Taishi, nicknamed Wenzhong.

Zheng Xunrui personally guarded Sun Chengzong's spirit, and Sun Quan, the eldest son of Sun Chengzong, who served as the magistrate of Shandong County, rushed to Nanjing and escorted Sun Chengzong's coffin back to Gaoyang County, Baoding.

Xu Wanghua and others found that after Sun Chengzong's death, Zheng Xunrui's temperament changed slightly, that is, he was more decisive in doing things, and he was not so polite to some pedantic scholars, and the starting point of doing anything was to be able to create a new dynasty.

Although Xu Wanghua and the others didn't quite understand the reason, they believed that all this must have a lot to do with Sun Chengzong, who had just passed away, and you must know that Sun Chengzong could be regarded as the person with the highest seniority and prestige in the Ming court.
