Chapter 803: Liu Zhang's Death (Second Watch)

Liu Zhang refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on holding on until the anti-thieves were completely eliminated.

As a result, his condition worsened.

Every day, I feel dizzy, my body seems to be hollowed out, and my temper becomes more and more irritable.

The ministers of the civil and military classes wanted Liu Baoshun, the eldest prince of the army, to come forward to persuade him.

Liu Baoshun sternly refused.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't harm Your Highness. My father has a deep prejudice against His Royal Highness, and if I come forward to persuade him, not only will I not be able to solve the problem, but will attract interrogation and suspicion. ”

When he said this, he did not avoid people.

Of course, it reached Liu Zhang's ears.

Liu Zhang was furious, "He's complaining!" He resented me for not giving him military power, and resented my partiality. ”

Because of illness, it has not healed for a long time, but whenever something goes wrong, Liu Zhang can't control his temper.

He sent someone to reprimand Liu Baoshun and told him to settle down.

If you dare to complain, you will be severely punished.

Liu Baoshun: "......"

MMP, sure enough, the older you get, the more confused you become.

Anyway, now everything he's doing is wrong.

In this situation, the courtiers did not dare to persuade again.

The weather is affected, the war is not going well, and it drags on day by day.

Liu Zhang's condition fluctuated and never got better.

After all, he's old!

He is no longer a young and strong general, who can fight in the south and in the north, and can fight another 300 rounds without sleeping for a few days and nights.

He is old, but he refuses to admit it.

You have to toss!

Tossing up and down people turned on their backs, and everyone was worried.

A torrential downpour pours down, and mold grows.

Liu Zhang's condition worsened again, unconscious, weak, and incoherent, as if the end was approaching.

The ministers of the civil and military classes were panicked, and if Liu Zhang died suddenly, there would definitely be turmoil before an heir was established.

How is it good?

Taking advantage of the emperor's brief lucidity, the ministers of the civil and military classes persuaded him to return to the imperial city again.

For the sake of the Northern Liang Jiangshan Society, the Qingzhou rebellion is not worth mentioning.

Moreover, others are in the barracks, and the barracks, from military generals to soldiers, are all under great pressure, and they have no respite every day.

The generals who command the army are cautious in battle, for fear that a mistake will lead to scolding and reprimand, or even falling to the ground.

If Liu Zhang was not in the barracks, the generals would naturally fight as much as they wanted, and they would not have to suffer from gains and losses.

As the so-called generals are not subject to military orders abroad.

All in all, from the very beginning, the pro-conscription was a mistake.

Persuasion......

Liu Zhang himself also sensed that his physical condition was not good, and he was afraid that the worst would happen.

So, he relented and decided to set off for the imperial city.

The ministers of the civil and military classes breathed a sigh of relief, which can be regarded as persuading people to go back.

But......

This just solves one thing.

Some courtiers privately discussed, it was time to determine the prince.

"Don't you want to die? Your Majesty is arbitrary, and if you take the liberty of talking about the prince, Your Majesty is angry, and you are afraid that your head will fall to the ground! It's okay for me to die, I'm afraid of involving my wife and children, and even the family. ”

"Your Majesty is seriously ill, and even the Imperial Doctor is not optimistic. If there is a good thing, but the edict of succession is not made in time, there will be chaos in the court. Can you bear the consequences? ”

"Why take the initiative to take responsibility. Everything has its own decision, and even if there is chaos in the end, it is not our fault. Don't think about it, think too much, beware that the life is not long. Who let us be in Beiliang, the situation is such that we are not allowed to do superfluous things. Don't think that this is still the Great Wei country, thinking that you are a courtier of the Great Wei. Hum! ”

"Hey! I really envy the courtiers of the Southern Wei Dynasty, who can speak freely in the court, pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding it. Like us, we dare not even tell the truth. ”

"Stop complaining! If you can live, you have done your best, and for other things, do your best to obey the destiny of God! ”

Everyone is pessimistic.

As a courtier of Beiliang, he can't see the slightest hope, or even a way out.

The Southern Wei Dynasty may not be very good.

However, at the moment, for the majority of Beiliang people, it is like a bright light, letting people know that there is another way to live in the world.

Even if you are a courtier, there is another kind of chic.

The officials of the Southern Wei Dynasty are the real officials, dignified and self-asserting officials.

The officials of the Northern Liang are a group of marionettes and tool people, who are not allowed to have their own consciousness and opinions.

Sad, lamentable!

Pulling out the camp and setting off, Emperor Liu Zhang wanted to return to the imperial city to recuperate.

The eldest prince Liu Baoshun took the initiative to ask Ying to stay on the front line, and he wanted to personally solve the Qingzhou rebellion.

Perhaps because of prejudice, or perhaps because of poor health, there were many suspicions in his heart, and Emperor Liu Zhang vetoed his performance and did not allow him to stay in charge of the army.

Ordered, asking him to return to the imperial city together.

In front of people, Liu Baoshun showed a look of disappointment.

He was really disappointed!

Behind the people, he grinned, as if he had already expected everything.

And from the very beginning in my heart, I wanted to go back to the imperial city, not stay and fight.

My father is not in good health, and he is stupid to stay on the front line at this time!

In case of......

In the event of the worst, he will be able to grasp the opportunity as soon as he follows him.

With his status as the eldest son, the succession to the throne is just around the corner.

It was raining, and the Chinese army pulled out the camp and headed for the imperial city.

Emperor Liu Zhang was not in good health, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were all delicate and expensive, so the trip was slow.

On the first day, I didn't even walk fifty miles.

In the days that followed, because of the continuous rain, the roads were muddy, and I could only walk thirty or forty miles a day.

If you encounter heavy rain, you can only stay at the post station, and it is difficult to move an inch.

The official road of Beiliang was already in disrepair and uneven.

In the case of rainy days, basically one pit at a time, and if you don't pay attention to it, the wheels of the carriage will fall into the mud puddle, and you can't drag it.

In such a situation, you can imagine how slow the journey is.

If you want to rush back to the imperial city as soon as possible, it is all wishful thinking.

The continuous rainy days made Emperor Liu Zhang's condition unable to improve, and even became heavier and heavier.

As his condition worsened, his temper became more and more irritable, and he always refused to cooperate with the doctor's advice.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find someone to replace the imperial doctor in a short period of time, Liu Zhang would have killed the imperial doctor long ago to vent his hatred.

In the corner of the station, it was late at night, and most of the people had already gone to bed.

The eldest prince Liu Baoshun's bedroom is still lit up.

The steward remained with him and served.

The master and servant both lowered their voices as they spoke.

"According to His Highness's orders, the personnel are already in place. In the event of an accident, it can be arrived in a day at most. ”

Liu Baoshun held the scroll in his hand, but his mind was not on the book. One night, I didn't see him turn a page.

"What's going on in the palace?"

"It's still the same, Xue Guifei doesn't leave the palace easily. As soon as he left the palace, there were countless guards around him, all of whom were personally arranged by His Majesty, just to protect Xue Guifei's safety. ”

Liu Baoshun sneered, "The old man is very nervous about the woman surnamed Xue!" Call him foolish, he is more shrewd than anyone else. said that he was shrewd, but he couldn't see through the trick surnamed Xue. Could it be that a woman's tears are really so valuable? Crying can make the dignified emperor's brain water, and he doesn't even believe in his own son. ”

"Your Highness is cautious, beware of the ears on the wall."

"Aren't you guaranteed that there will be no suspicious people within twenty steps?"

The steward immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

Liu Baoshun waved his hand and didn't care about him.

"I don't know if the old man can get through this time."

"Your Highness is worried that after returning to the Imperial City, Your Majesty will be able to recover?"

Hehe!

Liu Baoshun refused to answer this kind of question.

He was tired of the heat and motioned for the steward to open the window.

Looking at the starry sky, it was pitch black, just like his current situation.

As his father's illness became serious, the suspicion and defense of him increased.

Ay!

The dim hour, when will it pass.

Now, is it the night before dawn, or is it forever dark?

He didn't dare to bet!

Something terrible, he can't bet lightly.

He's going to wait!

He has enough patience and waits for a result.

I only hope that this road will never end.

……

The weather finally cleared, and the Chinese army, who had stayed at the post station for many days, set off again.

It had just been a sunny day, and the road was still muddy and difficult to walk.

If it's hard to walk, you have to go.

The emperor's illness could not be delayed any longer.

The mules and horses roared and screamed sadly.

It's not that they don't give strength, it's that the wheels are stuck in the mud and can't pull them out even if they use all the strength to feed.

It can only make the summoner push behind.

With such a journey, the more chaotic it became, everyone was holding back a breath of anger.

However, the officials did not sympathize with everyone's hard work, and urged them to hurry, so tired that people turned their backs.

After all, he still couldn't make it to the next post station before dark, so he could only sleep in the wilderness.

The army guarded it, not afraid of a small night, for fear that the emperor would have an accident.

In the middle of the night, a heart-rending cough came from the luxurious carriage in the center, which made people panic.

"Don't be fine! Your Majesty will surely be able to reach the palace safely. ”

"Don't say it, it's scary."

"In case of an accident on the part of Your Majesty, I mean, will it implicate us?"

"It's not our turn. The most important thing is that His Majesty has not yet established a prince. No one dared to mention this. I'm afraid that I will become a ghost under the knife. ”

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks in his heart, at this time, he should have some explanation. It is said that if you are not afraid of just in case, you are afraid of 10,000. ”

"Your Majesty will definitely live a long life, and your life will be the same as that of heaven."

Hehe!

Who believes that?

It's good to shoot a farther.

The Imperial Physician has been in the carriage and has never come down. This is the rhythm of spending the night with the emperor!

Is the condition so serious that you can't do without the Imperial Doctor for a moment?

It's over, it's over!

Pessimism, without anyone to render, has already permeated the sky over the army.

Everyone is flustered and uneasy.

There are still hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, and it will take ten days and half a month to hurry up.

In case of......

No, there won't be any case.

However, things in the world are not as good as they should be.

It's usually about what you're afraid of.

One foggy morning, the officials did not give the order to leave the camp for a long time.

When the sun came out, there was no movement.

Everyone understands that something is wrong!

The hearts of the people began to stir.

The generals began to suppress the restraints and restrain their subordinates.

Liu Zhang, the emperor of the Northern Liang Dynasty, died on the way back to the palace, and died in his favorite luxury carriage!

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret!
