Zhang Yang looked up at the sky and said, "The teacher always says that he can live one more day, but in fact, he has long wanted to die, and often blames me, a disciple, for letting him live for so long." ”

Sun Simiao smiled with relief.

Da'an's wedding was held in the village, Zhang Yang personally arranged a special event, and Da'an went to Chang'an City early in the morning to pick up Zheng Gong's daughter to complete the marriage.

Zhang Yang stood outside the teacher's house, waiting for the elephant and Dasu to come out.

Zhang Daxiang's footsteps were very slow, and he bowed and saluted: "Thank you for taking care of the old father." ”

Zhang Dasu also saluted.

Looking at the two brothers, Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "I don't want to have too many uneasy things, at least let Da'an get married." ”

The two brothers nodded and went to the entrance of the village to greet Da'an together.

Today the village is very festive, and red satin is hung everywhere.

A carriage came towards Lishan, Zheng Gong and Da'an rode on horses, and when the carriage stopped in front of the village, Wei Zheng's wife helped her daughter get out of the carriage.

Zhang Yang saw Zheng Gong saluting and said, "Zheng Gong, the marriage was done in a hurry, and I hope to ......"

Wei Zheng stroked his beard and said, "How is Zhang Gongjin?" ”

"Doctor Sun said it's only been these two days."

didn't care about his daughter who was about to get married, Zheng Gong hurried to see Zhang Gongjin.

It was a festive wedding outside, and the house was quiet, Wei Zheng walked to the edge of the bed and looked at Zhang Gongjin, who was half-lying on the bed and breathing hard.

"Gong Zheng, are you here?"

"Why did your body ...... so fast?"

"Alas......" Zhang Gongjin sighed and whispered: "Everyone has this day, Zheng Gong doesn't have to be sentimental." ”

"But you're younger than the old man."

"God doesn't want to keep this life anymore."

Zheng Gonghong's eyes were almost speechless.

Da'an's marriage is still going on, and the couple came together to give tea to Zhang Gongjin and Zheng Gongjin.

Zhang Yang stood outside the house, and there were many guests in front of him, including the magnates of Chang'an City, Li Daozong of the clan, and Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong.

The heroes who galloped the world back then are here.

Everyone walked into the house together and talked to Zhang Gongjin one by one.

Zhang Yang stood beside his daughter-in-law and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the teacher will say a lot today." ”

"Well, the teacher has never spoken to so many people before."

The marriage went well, but the weather was not beautiful, and it rained today.

The guests were full, Zhang Yang and Li Yue cooked the dishes themselves, and the two of them cooperated to fry pots and pots of vegetables, and there was no shortage of rice and flour cakes.

Let today's guests eat and drink well.

The night covered the earth, and it was not until late at night that the guests dispersed, and Li Yue took her daughter and her wife back to the room to rest for a while.

Everyone didn't want to sleep more.

The three brothers, Elephant, Dasu and Da'an, didn't want to sleep, and the newlywed Da'an and his wife stayed outside the house together after they made a conjugal ceremony.

Sun Simiao is taking care of the house, waiting for the situation to change at any time.

From time to time, there was a coughing sound in the house, and Zhang Daxiang asked uneasily, "Father, what's wrong?" ”

The voice of the words in the room came, it was Sun Simiao who spoke, "The phlegm is stuck in the throat and has been spit out." ”

Zhang Dasu covered his face in pain and was stalking.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone's expressions were not very good, Zhang Yang boiled a pot of porridge and said to everyone: "Let's eat some." ”

Zhang Da'an took a sip of porridge and asked, "Brother, my father said that if there is a disagreement in the family, my brother will preside over it." ”

Zhang Yang reluctantly squeezed out some smiles, trying to make Da'an more relaxed, "It's okay, you three brothers have their own strengths, and the things in the future will be arranged later." ”

Daan nodded and drank the porridge in the bowl.

Today, Lu Zhaolin came in a hurry, and he came to visit his illness at the behest of His Majesty.

He hurried into the house, and after checking his pulse, he came to the same conclusion as Doctor Sun.

"If it weren't for the old man himself...... I'm afraid I can't let Tan Guogong support him for so long, and it is not easy to live until now. ”

Zhang Yang saluted and said, "Thank you Doctor Lu for coming to visit." ”

Even if he couldn't get used to Zhang Yang anymore, he now respectfully returned the courtesy: "County marquis, don't be so polite." ”

The master and wife have already asked people to arrange the funeral, and the villagers of Zhang Gongjin's ancestral land have also come, and they have come by the starry night.

The teacher's posthumous affairs are presided over by the teacher's wife, and only the teacher's wife has this qualification.

Everyone was tired and their hearts were heavy.

Zhang Yang asked Xiao Qingqing to take Yue'er back to the mountain to rest, walked to the teacher's bedside by himself, and drank tea silently.

The teacher just closed his eyes and slowly opened them, and said, "The old man dreamed of many old people, Pei Yuanqing, Luo Cheng, Liu Heimin, Shan Xiongxin, ......."

Listen to the teacher talk about the names of heroes and heroes in the troubled years.

Those years were also the most beautiful time in the teacher's life.

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "Teacher, those people are dying and leaving, and there are more people who miss heroes and heroes." ”

Zhang Gongjin smiled and whispered: "I haven't asked you, what is your ideal in this life?" ”

"I remember I said many times that my ideal is to be rich and strong in Datang."

"It's easier said than done."

Zhang Yang said: "The soil in Guanzhong is becoming more and more barren, I want to plant trees, I want to plant a lot of trees in Guanzhong, the northwest needs to be built, I think it is still too late, and it is not yet in a state of terminal illness to get to Guanzhong." ”

"I also want to rebuild the river, govern the Yellow River, and govern the eight rivers in Guanzhong, I will continue to instill ambition in the emperor, so that the banner of the Tang Dynasty will spread all over the world, teacher, I actually know a lot of treasures."

"There are a lot of gold and silver mountains in this world waiting for the Tang people to excavate."

Zhang Gongjin asked, "How?" ”

"In fact, when I looked through the Sui book, I found that some people said that Guoguan was not suitable as the capital, and then the center of gravity of the Central Plains slowly migrated towards Luoyang."

"Hmm." Zhang Gongjin nodded and said, "There is indeed such a statement." ”

"So I want to keep the wealth in Guanzhong, so that the emperor will also stay, as long as the emperor can stay here, there is hope for the construction of the Great Northwest, teacher, I will follow the good path, this matter may be done for many, many years, but I will not give up."

Zhang Gongjin smiled when he heard this, "Actually, you have always had a breath in your heart, and you seem to be chasing something." ”

"I'm catching up, I want to lay a solid foundation for this Datang before it is broken, so that it can be passed on."

Zhang Gongjin said in a low voice: "Will the Tang Dynasty be shattered?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yang to answer, Zhang Gongjin said, "Yes." ”

"The teacher speaks profoundly, but the disciple can't understand it."

"So, it seems that you have a plan in mind."

"Plans can never catch up with changes, so I have to hurry, I've been catching up, I think the current Datang is too small."

"Well, it's too small."

Slowly saying a word, Zhang Gongjin closed his eyes again, it was just a cup of tea, and his eyes opened again, "What time is it?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "The teacher has only slept for half a moment. ”

Zhang Gongjin shook his head and said: "The old man feels that he has been asleep for a long time, and he has had a long, long dream, and his spirit is much better at the moment, but do you have wine?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yang picked up the wine bowl and poured a bowl of wine.

Hearing the teacher's voice be loud, there were a few more choked voices outside the house.

Zhang Gongjin took a refreshing sip of wine and said with a smile: "Good wine!" Sure enough, Lishan wine is good. ”

"Teacher, drink more."

"The old man just had a very long dream, dreaming that he and those of them rode horses to conquer the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses galloped in the land of Qinchuan, and life was just like that!"

Listening to the teacher talk happily, for an hour, finally the teacher's voice became lower and lower, until he stopped talking and closed his eyes.

The wine bowl in his hand was still there, but it was silent.

Zhang Yang slowly took the wine bowl in his hand, walked outside the house and said, "Send the teacher away." ”

When the relatives walked into the house, Zhang Yang said to Li Tai and Li Zhi outside the house: "Tell the whole village that the red satin will be replaced with white satin." ”

Li Tai and Li Zhi hurriedly ran to do it when they heard this.

Under the gloomy sky, the funeral began.

The farewell line was very long, and Zhang Yang and Li Yue were both dressed in white and walked at the back of the line.

The couple took their daughter with them, and even Xiong Da was wrapped in a white cloth.

Xiao Qingqing did not speak very sensibly, nor did he ride on the back of the bear, but followed the footsteps of his father and mother all the way.

After passing through Chang'an City on the way to farewell, Zhang Yang saw a group of people standing at the head of the city from a distance, they were Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda, Li Daliang, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

The team walked all the way, until the official road leading to Longyou, and everyone stopped.

The next route was accompanied by relatives, and Zhang Yang and Li Yue could only watch the team leave.

Looking into the distance, the sunset came out of the dark clouds, and the send-off team was also drowned in the light of the setting sun.

It was no longer visible, and the couple walked back with their daughter.

Xiao Qingqing said in a low voice: "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

Li Yue took out a piece of cake and handed it to her.

Xiao Qingqing walked and ate all the way, her sense of life and death was still very weak, she knew that her master would never wake up again, and she would not give her a lecture again.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, Li Yuan was standing here, and he said slowly: "Gone?" ”

Zhang Yang replied: "Let's go." ”

"Well, you mourn too."

After returning home, the couple felt more tired than ever, and they didn't sleep well for three days and three nights.

Zhang Yang slept well and slept until noon the next day.

As soon as I woke up, it was no different from my usual day, and when I walked to the mountainside of Lishan, I could see where the teacher had lived before.

The door of the house was open, and standing on the hill you could see that the door of the house was closed, and the whole house was empty.

Zhang Yang sat down with his forehead on his back, and then he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Lishan's production continued, and after cleaning up his mood, Zhang Yang came to his library.

Li Yue devoted herself to mastering human resources.

Zhang Yang took the roster and joined it.

A month later, the three brothers, Zhang Daxiang, Zhang Dasu, and Zhang Da'an, also returned to Chang'an City, and they presided over various matters in the Ministry of Rites as usual.

This month, Li Tai's Princess Wei gave birth to a son, who was born earlier than Cheng Chumo's daughter-in-law, and the child of Chu Mo's family was about to give birth in these two days.

The three of them hadn't sat together and played cards for a long time.

Li Tai's brand is still as bad as ever, "Why did this king lose again!" ”

Cheng Chumo snorted coldly: "A certain family has never won, His Royal Highness the King of Wei is shouting a lot!" ”

"Too much deception!"

Li Yue, Princess Wei, or Chu Mo's wife, were together, telling them about the things they should pay attention to when taking care of their children.

Xiao Qingqing was very distressed, she was worried that this little cousin would be as stupid as Li Xiang.

The fight on the card game was hot, and finally Li Tai's card product was so bad that he had a temper attack, and he flipped the table and said: "Don't play, playing with your brother-in-law is giving money." ”

Cheng Chumo looked at the few copper coins left in his money bag, "His Royal Highness King Wei is right, you can't play cards with this guy." ”

Li Tai snorted coldly: "After losing money in the hands of my brother-in-law, this king only knew that this card was made by my brother-in-law, which is really hateful." ”

Zhang Yang put away the copper coins and silver cakes, and said with a smile: "Let's go fishing?" ”

"Don't go!"

Cheng Chumo and Li Tai spoke in unison.

"It's all fathers, how can you return the child's temper."

The person who spoke was Li Shimin, and the eldest grandson queen also came, and his sister-in-law Li Tai had a son, so he naturally wanted to come and see.

Yan Liben also came along, and several people gathered around the infant child to watch.

Li Shimin gave the name Li Xin and rewarded the Wei Wang family with many gold leaves, a basket of gold leaves.

The size of the emperor's relatives was reflected at this moment, and the clan and relatives sent silver coins and all kinds of curiosities.

Originally, the courtyard of Li Tai's house was not big, and now all kinds of gold, silver and copper coins are piled up in the yard, making it flourish here.

Li Yuan hugged the born child and smiled with a mouthful of old teeth, very happy.

The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are simple, especially the emperor's clan is mostly military generals, so what he sent was very real money, but the eldest grandson Wuji sent calligraphy and paintings, and some silver money by the way.

Zhang Yang saluted and said, "I've seen Zhao Guogong." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said, "You still look as young as you did back then." ”

Zhang Yang replied: "The last time we met was last winter. ”

"Well, the old man thinks that you are almost thirty years old, but you still look like a teenager...... Well! You've got more stubble. ”

"Actually, there's something I haven't been able to figure out."

"You say."

Zhang Yang frowned and said: "The teacher said before he passed away that he went back to Chang'an City this year and did something for me, and sent someone to inquire. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood with his hands in his hands, "What do you think Zhang Gongjin will say to the old man?" ”

"I don't understand."

"It's right if you don't understand, Zhang Gongjin is also a first-class strategist, if his plan can really be easily guessed, he will be ashamed of his name."

After that, the eldest grandson Wuji asked with some weakness: "He didn't tell you before he left the world?" ”

Suddenly realized, Zhang Yang said with a smile: "It turns out that the teacher must have expected to ask Zhao Guogong in the future." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face froze, and he muttered: "This old fox is gone, and I have to calculate the old man." ”

Zhang Yang said again: "I don't know if Zhao Guogong can tell me." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's eyes stared at him, and he said slowly: "This matter can't be said, once it is said, it will be useless." ”

"What is useless when you say it? Are you playing brain teasers with your teacher? ”

"What brain teaser?"

"One of our books in Lishan is mainly a guessing game, which is very intellectual, and the teacher would often read it back then." (End of chapter)
