Chapter 029: The Emperor's Three Questions
After a while, another voice came from the account:
"The emperor, step aside, I want to see the loyal martyr."
"Yes! Sons obey! ”
When the second prince heard this, if he was amnesty, he quickly walked away with the dogs, and the back stumbled halfway and almost fell.
Wait for the second prince to leave.
Another person's voice came from inside: "Please invite the loyal martyr Marquis to join the army account saint!" ”
Zheng Xiu stepped into the military tent and immediately frowned, and there was a foul smell of herbs coming from inside.
An old man, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on a soft collapse, his face was dark, but his eyes were bright.
Emperor Daqian, Wei Yangzun, Emperor Zun'an the Great.
In the military tent, in addition to the old emperor, there are two palace maids, two generals, and one imperial doctor.
The two generals stepped forward to search their bodies.
"Let's get out."
The old emperor waved his hand and motioned for the others to go out and meet with Zheng Xiu alone.
Zheng Xiu was still pondering the deep meaning of the old emperor's trip.
In his life, he had met this old emperor three times.
On the first side, when he learned of Zheng Haoran's death, he awarded Zheng Xiu the title of "Marquis of Loyalty" in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the main hall.
On the second side, on the tenth anniversary of Zheng Haoran's sacrifice for the country, when Zheng Xiu was sweeping the tomb.
On the third side, when the heavens and the earth opened, he paid a private visit and secretly came to congratulate.
There are three sides in total.
This is the fourth side.
Compared with the last time they met, Wei Yangzun's face was dark, his hair was thin, his body was thin and dry, and his majesty was long gone.
"I'm running out of time."
When only Zheng Xiu and Wei Yangzun were left in the tent, the old emperor said a very unlucky word.
Zheng Xiu was about to ask if you had any unfulfilled wishes, or did you need the Zheng family to help repair the emperor's mausoleum or something, but as soon as he said the word "that", Lao Wei seemed to use all his strength before he waved his hand and asked Zheng Xiu not to speak.
Old Wei was very weak.
No wonder he was so concise and to the point.
Even speaking is so laborious, no wonder he knows that his "time is short".
"Whew... Call... Whew..."
Old Wei took a deep breath.
"Those three people, your people, killed."
Zheng Xiu's face changed slightly, but he didn't refute.
Because, Lao Wei used an affirmative tone, not an inquiry.
"Salt, iron, business, the second one has a bad temperament, but he acts vigorously and resolutely, and he is resolute, I have known his temperament since twenty years ago."
"The boss has a calm temperament, a far-sighted vision, and everything is planned before acting, but he always loses the opportunity and looks ahead."
"The third child, heh, it seems to be cowardly, but in fact, it is the deepest hidden."
"I won't die for a day, the eldest and the third, I don't dare to touch you. But the second child couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to recruit you. ”
"If the three of them have one temperament and one wrist, they can become emperors for thousands of years, and then continue the prosperity of the great cadres for a hundred years, but the heavens are unfair, and they will be divided into three people."
Old Wei's breath was weak, but his sharp eyes faintly revealed the unique majesty of the superior, and he looked at Zheng Xiu's eyes.
It's not so much a conversation, it's better to say something that Lao Wei wants to say to Zheng Xiu.
"The thirteenth monk of Lianhua, Ji Honglotus, the thousand-handed poisonous lady, and the bloody scholar Pei Gaoya, I didn't expect that they finally got out of the rivers and lakes, and now they are in a dispute again."
"Marquis Zhonglie, you don't have a small face."
Zheng Xiu smiled, looking a little embarrassed.
"Over the years, with me secretly sheltering behind your back, you have finally strengthened the Zheng family, but you have become a businessman! From business! If General Zheng had known about it, he would have been so angry that he would have gotten up from the grave...... Hahahaha – cough cough cough!! Ahem, ahem! ”
Lao Wei thought of the funny part, first laughed, and then pulled his breath and coughed violently.
After coughing, Lao Wei said again, and then said: "I will get up and scold you, why don't you enter the court as an official, or gallop on the battlefield!" ”
Zheng Xiu arched his hand: "Holy Lord, the loyal martyr is idle, partial and arrogant, does not like restraint, can't stand grievances, and is afraid of losing the face of his father." ”
"Huh. But over the years," Lao Wei said: "Every time there is a drought or flood, it is you who help the people, the treasury is empty, and you take the initiative to pay more taxes; Raise those heroes of the rivers and lakes, let them share in peace, and there will be no trouble, it is still you. In the past 20 years, the world has been peaceful, among them, there is your Zheng family, a credit! General Zheng, I have no regrets. ”
He coughed violently again, and reached out to take the silk scarf on the table, but he stretched out his trembling hand several times, but he couldn't take it.
Zheng Xiu couldn't help it, stepped forward to help, and covered Lao Wei's mouth with a silk scarf.
The silk scarf was stained with blood.
Zheng Xiu was a little worried.
Worried about Lao Wei's sudden death here.
He is now a lonely man and a widow with Lao Wei, if Lao Wei dies, he Zheng Xiu is really speechless, and he is finished.
"I can't die right now." Lao Wei waved his hand vigorously, he saw through Zheng Xiu's worries, and squeezed out a smile vigorously: "Do you know how hard it is for your subordinates to raise those strange people?" If you let my three unsuccessful children know, they can't tolerate you. ”
Zheng Xiu nodded.
"That's fine. Come, I have three questions, and you can answer them. Lao Wei grabbed Zheng Xiu's shoulder, the corners of his mouth were bloody, and a smile appeared on his gray face: "I ask you first, who are you most optimistic about?" ”
First question.
Zheng Xiu felt that this might be a proposition.
is the so-called companion of the tiger and Zheng Xiu will not arrogantly think that with his father's relationship, he can have a relationship with Lao Wei to climb relatives.
If you don't answer this question well......
Zheng Xiu's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Although the three princes have their own strengths and weaknesses, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they inherit the imperial style of the saint. According to me, ahem, you are all the posture of the emperor. ”
When Lao Wei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, coughing and laughing: "How have you learned all these profiteers' smooth wit over the years?" ”
A rich businessman with a conscience, a rich businessman with a conscience.
Master Zheng retorted in his heart.
Seeing that Zheng Xiu was stunned and did not accept this proposition, Lao Wei did not force it. After the topic was revealed, he asked again: "I ask again, do you still have doubts about General Zheng's death?" ”
Second question.
Zheng Xiu was slightly stunned, he hadn't dared to ask for so many years, but he didn't expect Lao Wei to take the initiative to mention it before he died.
When the expedition to the Northern Barbarians, Lao Wei and Zheng's father drove the expedition together.
In fact, even Jiang Gaoyi didn't dare to talk about that story.
In the end, it was not only the crazy military advisor who came back alive, but also Lao Wei.
But everyone in the world kept silent about this matter, only mentioning the military advisor who came back alive and went crazy quickly, ignoring the Great Qiandi Emperor.
Lao Wei sighed lightly: "Back then, it was me who became a fugitive commander." It was also General Zheng, on the bank of the Fenjian River, who knocked me unconscious with a punch and sent him to the return car. This is what I have always kept in my heart...... The truth. ”
Zheng Xiu opened his mouth.
"You can have hatred, it was I who lost General Zheng back then."
Zheng Xiu was silent for a moment, and then shook his head: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky." Dad died on the battlefield and glorified his ancestors, this is fate. I Zheng Xiu started from scratch and enjoyed glory and wealth, which is also fate. If this is his old man's last wish, he can't blame anyone. ”
"Okay." Lao Wei nodded, but said about the matter: "Then I, I will ask you one last." ”
Lao Wei grabbed the thin arm on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, and suddenly tightened it hard.
His shining eyes suddenly approached Zheng Xiu's face, his facial features became a little more hideous, and he asked the third question from the emperor:
"My time is short, ask yourself all these years, treat your Zheng family well."
"Today, I just want to hear a heartfelt mantra!"
Zheng Xiu patted his chest: "It's easy to say!" Xiao Zheng's sentences come from the bottom of my heart! ”
Lao Wei laughed: "What a heartfelt sentence!" ”
As he spoke, Lao Wei's face changed, and his voice was low: "But your Zheng family..."
The dying emperor stared at Zheng Xiu's eyes, and there was an unquenchable hunger and thirst in his eyes.
"Is there really no secret art of immortality?"
