Chapter 263: Last Words
This letter should have been prepared by Fang Xuanling a long time ago, and there is no weakness between the pen power, but between the lines, revealing a bit of sparse atmosphere, and a happy posture.
Looking at the words "Grace meets two generations of Ming Lords" written by Fang Xuanling himself, Li Zhi only felt that his eyes were sour, when Fang Xuanling and Li Shimin met on the bank of Weishui, he had to meet the Ming Lord, but in Li Shimin and Li Tang Dynasty, how could he not harvest a generation of good ministers and virtuous ministers?
Only these few words, but Li Zhi couldn't help but flash Fang Xuanling's achievements in his mind, this short text in his hand, he couldn't read it anymore, only looked up at the sky, forcibly held back the tears that had been hidden in his eyes, waved his hand and asked Fang Zhizhi to go back to the mansion to arrange first, and he and Yongning then arrived......
Yongning already had an ominous premonition when the news came, and he had already ignored the dissuasion of the people around him, folded up his spirits, changed his clothes, freshened up, and prepared to go out. But even though she was already mentally preparing, when Li Zhi walked into the hall with slightly red eyes, she still only felt weak all over, and she couldn't even stand steadily.
Li Zhi hurriedly took two steps, personally helped Yongning to lean in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Fang Xiang...... Father-in-law, I'm afraid it's not good this time, let's go together...... Go and meet ......" Yongning's heart was empty, and he couldn't react, so he just let Li Zhi hug her forward.
Li Cong and Qin Hua also got the news at this time and rushed to the Zichen Palace, but although it was their maternal grandfather, it was not suitable for these immature princes and princesses to appear on such occasions. Li Zhi patted Li Cong on the shoulder, completely treated him as an adult who could be trusted, handed over Zichen Palace, Qinhua, and Li Yu to him to take care of, and comforted him a few more words, before taking Yongning to the chariot.
After the Fang family came back, they were ready to take over, but Fang Xuanling was in the last period of return, and the heirs and relatives gathered in front of him.
When Li Zhi hurried over with Yongning, there was no one waiting in front of the door. Where would Li Zhi pick the house at this time, Yongning didn't care about these things, so he just hurried all the way to Fang Xuanling's room.
Except for Fang Yongan, who was far away in Korea and had not returned, several of Fang Xuanling's children had already arrived, and many grandchildren also knelt in front of the couch and cried silently. Mrs. Lu and Fang Xuanling, a young couple, although there is a big difference in age, but they have been kind for decades, and they only sit on the edge of the couch at this time, holding Fang Xuanling's hand, and refuse to leave. Fang Xuanling's face looked extremely ruddy at this time, and although the voice of Fang Xuanling was small, the words were also clear, if it weren't for the words "return to the light" asserted by the imperial doctor, I am afraid that no one would have thought that he was dying.
After Yongning entered the house, he didn't see anyone else except Fang Xuanling, and stumbled through the crowd and knelt in front of Fang Xuanling's couch with Li Zhi's support. With Yongning's current status, such actions were naturally inappropriate, but Li Zhi just stood behind her with pity in his eyes, half-bent over and caressing her back, without any intention of stopping it. And the others only reacted at this moment, and Li Zhi came......
Li Zhi only waved his hand, whispered and excused himself, and only focused on Fang Xuanling and Yongning.
Yongning seemed to have no other ability at the moment except crying, although she tried her best to hold up a smile, but the corners of her mouth stiffened and she couldn't succeed. Fang Xuanling thought that he would not have the opportunity to meet Yongning for the last time, although he had some expectations in his heart, but he always felt that it was extravagant, and at this time Li Zhi accompanied Yongning in person, although he also felt that it was not in line with the courtesy, he did not let people help Yongning up, only withdrew his hand from Mrs. Lu's hand, gently patted the back of Yongning's hand on the side of the couch, and said: "For my father, I still remember that in those legendary books in the past, you wrote the poem 'Who has not died in life since ancient times, leave Dan to take care of Han Qing', now I think about it, I feel calm for my father...... Looking back on this life, whether it is public or private, there are regrets and no regrets...... Eternal peace my son, the coming day should be the same"
Yongning didn't pay attention to what Fang Xuanling said at all, and passed through his ears word by word, just habitually nodded vigorously in agreement.
"You have been Yinghui since you were a child, although your temperament is a little colder, but you are extremely incipient between right and wrong...... It's just that you need to remember in the future, for the first, the duty of motherhood, don't think about the mother's family, and if you benefit the country, you will lose the family, and you should do it...... You need to judge the situation by the matter, you can't talk about the matter, you need to judge right and wrong by right and wrong, you can't judge right and wrong from far and near......" Fang Xuanling poured out the last effort of his life, teaching word by word, although the words were said and Yongning listened, but his eyes were always fixed on Li Zhi.
From beginning to end, Fang Xuanling never said a word to Li Zhi, as if Li Zhi was not here at all, and was only teaching his daughter, as if his daughter was not a royal concubine...... Yongning had long been unable to cry, and the strong tears in Li Zhi's eyes finally fell uncontrollably.
"For my father, I know that my son is extraordinary, but since I am my daughter of the Fang family in this life, I should take care of the thoughts of this life, and I hope that you can break the thoughts of the past and cherish the ...... in front of you" Fang Xuanling's last words gently and slowly, but he clenched Yongning's hand, and only four words remained: "I wish...... Tang Dynasty ......"
The fingers that gradually loosened brought Yongning endless sorrow, she subconsciously shook it back, the palm that she once regarded as relying on, but there was no longer the strength to support her, the cry she had endured could no longer be suppressed at this moment, and she whimpered into Fang Xuanling's arms, who had no breath, and no longer cared about anyone or anything......
Li Zhi was standing in a position that happened to support Mrs. Lu who had fainted, and after Fang Zhi took his mother over, he choked up and asked Li Zhi and Yongning to rest in the outer hall. Li Zhi also knew that the following things were not suitable for Yongning, the married daughter, to be present, but no matter how he and Fang Zhizhi persuaded him, Yongning seemed to be unable to hear their voices at all, and was only immersed in his own sadness and couldn't extricate himself. In desperation, Li Zhi had to gently rub the ** on the back of her neck to make her sleep lightly, so that he could hug her and leave.
Their husband and wife did not stay in the Fang family anymore, adding chaos to the already busy Fang family, and went back to the palace. Yu Fang Xuanling's posthumous affairs, Li Zhi also has a lot of aspects to consider, and there are many things that need to be arranged, not to mention that there is now a Yongning who has just finished giving birth that needs to be taken care of by him, and this Zichen Hall is also busy for a while.
Although Li Cong is very afraid of Fang Xuanling's strictness on weekdays, he has been wise and sensible since he was a child, and he also understands that Fang Xuanling's strictness is for his good, and Fang Xuanling is also very good at talking about things outside of learning, and he can also feel the ** pampering heart, plus although he is not very old, under Yongning's imperial mental education, he has vaguely understood the existence of Fang Xuanling, for the Fang family, for Yongning, for him, it is of great significance...... In addition to his grief over the death of his maternal grandfather, he also felt that he had lost a strong backer.
Fang Xuanling's sudden death, the people in the court have joy and sorrow. Some officials who originally supported Yongning's ascension in front of Li Zhi and spared no effort to promote Li Cong quietly covered their flags and watched at this time. However, when Li Zhi set Fang Xuanling's nickname as "Wen Zhao" and deserved to enjoy the Taimiao, he personally ordered Chu Suiliang to write an inscription for Fang Xuanling, discussing his merits...... Those wall grasses became enthusiastic about the Fang family again.
In fact, the loss of Fang Xuanling was not as big a blow to the Fang family as everyone imagined. The three sons of the Fang family have become adults, although the Fang family no longer has a character like Fang Xuanling to support the portal, but there is still Yongning in the palace, and there are two princes Li Cong and Li Yu.
Yongning's grief did not last long, without Fang Xuanling's Fang family, there were more places that needed her to take care of them, and there were more places where she needed to support the scene. At the time of the sacrifice, she did not let Li Zhi come forward again, but just asked Li Cong to go to Fang's house instead of her, and although Li Cong's performance was decent, but that calm and generosity won him back a few more people's hearts.
Although Yongning has always felt that confinement is a very unscientific thing, and her body has returned to a normal state under the conditioning of potions in the morning, but the imperial doctor has left a few prescriptions under the mercy of Li Zhi's ugly and worried face, and every day Qingyan and several people stared at her and drank those bitter juices, whenever she resisted a little, she would be stared at by Li Zhi, Li Cong and Qinhua father and son with a worried expression, when she couldn't stand it and drank the medicine, Then they would turn around and go their own way.
Although Yongning had the heart to inquire about the news of the Fang family, Li Zhi was really relieved of her body, not only refuted Princess Gaoyang's request to enter the palace to see Yongning, but even explained to Li Cong and the palace people who served around Yongning, no matter how she inquired, she didn't know anything. If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't used to using soul intimidation to her own people, and she knew that Li Zhi would never stand idly by with the Fang family at this time, she was afraid that she really didn't know what she would do if she couldn't bear it......
Li Zhi didn't want Yongning to inquire more about the Fang family, but his original intention was to see if Fang Zhizhi had the ability to support the Fang family. For the Fang family, the eldest son who has been doing nothing for many years, he still has some ideas. Judging from the three of Fang Yi**, Fang Yize and Yongning, he couldn't imagine that Fang Jialang would really be a nerd ...... who didn't understand current affairs.
