The emperor of Chu heard that the Marquis of Chu Ding's old injury had an attack and was seriously ill, so he hurriedly sent a respected veteran of the two dynasties in the court, Sun Pang De, to visit, and he received several imperial doctors and hurried to Anwar.

Sun Pang De was a veteran of the two dynasties and had many protégés in the court. He is upright by nature and does not cling to any party, and was called "Sun Pimple" by the first emperor when he was the first emperor of Chu, which directly means that his character is stubborn and stubborn.

Now the struggle between the two parties in the Chu State is becoming more and more fierce, but he is the only one who is alone, and both parties want to pull him, but they can't pull him.

Because the Marquis of Chu Dinghou said that he was ill, the rumors in the court and China were very arrogant, pointing out that the Marquis of Chu Ding's great merit and disobedience wanted to stand on his own across the river.

Emperor Chu was annoyed by his ministers as soon as he was in the morning, and only Sun Pound blindly advised him to be cautious and not to listen to rumors. So he simply made a holy decree and asked Sun Pound to bring a group of imperial doctors to Anwar to visit the Marquis of Chu Ding, and his words were earnest, and he must let the "imperial brother" recover and return to China to participate in the prosperity of the Chu State.

Sun Pound knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and despite his old age and physical age, he crossed the river all the way to Anwar. I had just dismounted, and I was anxious to ask to see him.

Li Jingcai said with a worried face: "Master Sun, Master Hou is using medicine and falling asleep." Master Hou ordered, please rest for a while, and entertain the adults and his party in the evening. ”

Sun Pound knew that he was in a hurry, and he was not easy to see him because he was covered in dust, so he had to nod and go down to rest first.

Li Jing saw that he was far away, so he changed his complexion, stuck out his tongue and turned back to pray.

Chu Huotian was wearing a single coat, leaning on the table and taking a book of war, and after listening to Li Jingcai's words, he smiled slightly: "This Lord Sun is really enthusiastic, and he is in a hurry to see Ben Hou as soon as he gets off the horse." What a pillar of the country. There are a few more adults like this in the DPRK, and there is no need to worry. ”

Li Jingcai smiled and said, "Yes, looking at Lord Sun's face, it's not a fake." ”

Chu Huotian nodded and said, "I'm going to put on a show at night, this Lord Sun is not so easy to fool, it's best to pull him over, and if it doesn't work, he will be neutral, so that the queen and the party will not be able to make waves." ”

Li Jingcai nodded hurriedly and said yes.

In the evening, Lord Sun and his party had rested enough, and they were asking to see him, when they arrived at the door of Chu Huotian's house, they suddenly saw a maid taking a basin of things and walking out. It cooled down for half a while.

He hurriedly dragged the imperial doctor behind him and said, "Go and see what's going on with Master Hou, go quickly!" "The doctor was old, so he had to carry the medicine box three steps and two steps. When he entered the house, he came out in the middle of the ring, and Master Sun grabbed him and shouted, "What's wrong with Master Hou?" The doctor sighed: "The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never encountered this disease, alas......

Master Sun's blood rushed up in his brain, and he left him, only to burst into tears: "Master Hou, you have to cherish it, the great prosperity of the Chu State that the old minister has been looking forward to for decades has fallen on you, you must support it." ”

As he spoke, he staggered into the house. The old lady muttered outside the house, "Strange, it stands to reason that such a pulse should not look like a person is seriously ill. Strange ......"

As soon as Master Sun entered the room, the medicine in the room was strong, and behind the layers of curtains, Chu Huotian was half-leaning on the bed with his sick body, his face was as pale as snow, his lips were chapped, and he was drinking a bowl of black medicine with the handmaid's hand.

Master Sun wiped his old tears, sat down nearby and said, "Master Hou, how do you feel?" Chu Huotian was helped to lie down, covered the quilt, on a May day, the outside of the house was hot, but he was covered with two thick quilts.

Chu Huotian smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Master Sun, it's really hard for you to make a trip, it's all this useless body, or you will make it to the Jingshi, Ben Hou will smile and wink, and finally half of the emperor's last wish has been fulfilled." ”

As he spoke, there was a layer of mist in Jun's eyes: "Lord Sun, now that Ben Hou has successfully retired, bring back this batch of soldiers brought from Chu State, Ben Hou will also get his wish fulfilled, as for what will happen after his death, he can only be commented on." ”

After hearing this, Master Sun couldn't help but be excited: "Master Hou, the old minister knows that you are the pillar of the country, if it weren't for you, how could there be a country in the four kingdoms where my Chu country is prosperous and growing stronger day by day." Now this great credit ......"

Chu Huotian stretched out his hand, waved weakly, and interrupted his words: "What merit, what false name, Benhou doesn't care, now Hua is the land of my Chu country, and there are only three kingdoms left in the four countries, which belong to the most prosperous of my Chu." Ben Hou Rongma has lived a lifetime, and now he is also a well-deserved death. When he saw his father, he should also know that his youngest son did not disgrace him. ”

After saying that, he couldn't help himself, turned around, faced the tent, and his hoarse voice contained a trace of tremor and resentment: "Lord Sun, Ben Hou knows that many people in the court now want Ben Hou to die, and now they have their minds, and in the future, only Lord Sun can handle things impartially, and the imperial brother also needs a lot of upright people like Lord Sun to assist him." ”

Master Sun sighed, and persuaded him for a long time before leaving the house.
