Chapter 837: Liu Bowen's Last Words
Zhu Su no longer had the heart to take care of these old and protégés. Since Liu Bowen's death, it has not yet passed the first seven years, the coffin of the old man is still placed in the hall, in addition to the coffin in the hall, an ordinary spiritual plaque placed in front of the incense burner has attracted all Zhu Su's attention.
He pushed Yang Shiqi and the others away, crossed the crowd, and looked at the names on the tablet in a daze.
Everyone in the hall who was originally surprised watched his movements, and they all fell silent, and then gradually, there was a sound of crying.
The white candle burned brightly in the mourning hall, and the mournful voice was low and tears stained.
Paper money is dusty and cigarettes are around, looking back on the year like a dream.
"Today is the joy of the country, Your Highness should enter the Son of Heaven and enjoy with the people, and suddenly come here, and it is not in line with the ceremony." A sound of vicissitudes came, Zhu Su turned his head slightly, and then realized that Song Lian was also in this mourning hall. He described it as withered, with two lines of tears under his eyes, but no tears came out. Among the hundred officials, he and Liu Bowen are the most kind, and the two of them are high mountains and rivers, and they are not inferior to the friends of Boyazi.
If it weren't for the fact that the students saw that the situation was not good, they urgently found a chair for the old gentleman, I am afraid that this old master would have to go with his old friend in the court.
At this time, what Zhu Su saw was a gentleman who was full of grief and anger, but still stood up and tried to correct his rude behavior. Leading the army to triumph and rejoicing with the people is a national gift, but mourning the ancestors is a private gift, and Zhu Su is a vassal king and a king, although Liu Bowen is older, he is a subordinate, and he sends his ministers to the king, which is not allowed by the etiquette law.
Even if this "private gift" was for his old friend, Song Lian would never allow Zhu Su, a student of the vassal king, to do anything that was not in general.
"What's the matter, sir...... How did it become like this? Zhu Su hurriedly stepped forward and helped Song Lian, who wanted to support himself, looking at the old master, and the feeling of sadness in his heart was even stronger. comforted: "Sir, I am relieved, the triumph and the salutes of the Son of Heaven have been completed." I asked my father for the emperor's order, and I came out of the palace to ......."
"Besides, Mr. Berwyn's humerus, now that I have lost a countryman, can't I see off a feudal king?"
"......, alas." Song Lian's face changed, and in the end, he sighed deeply and didn't delve into it anymore. Subsequently, Liu Lian, the eldest son of Liu Bowen, who was full of filial piety and sorrow, came to Zhu Su's side, made a long gesture, and said earnestly: "His Royal Highness King Mengzhou came down to see off his father, it is true, minister, minister, minister......"
Or remembering the voice and smile of his deceased father in the past, Liu Lian couldn't stop crying before he finished speaking.
Zhu Su also showed sadness on his face, and helped Liu Lian up: "Brother Xian's Day mourns...... The deceased is gone, and the husband is dying, it is a happy mourning, if he has a spirit in the sky, he will not want to see you so heartbroken. ”
"Yes, yes......" Liu Lian wiped his tears and only nodded again and again.
Speaking from the heart, Liu Bowen's lifespan has actually been extended a lot. Liu Bowen in history, although he is good at seeking the country, he is clumsy at seeking a career. Because he offended Hu Weiyong in the early years when he was discussing the prime minister, in the eighth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong took the opportunity to be ordered to bring the imperial doctor to see Liu Bowen, and moved his hands and feet in the prescription, so that Liu Bowen's body should have been harmless wind and cold, and gradually turned into a deep disease, until there was no cure.
Even Liu Lian, Liu Bowen's eldest son, was coerced by Hu Weiyong's party in the twelfth year of Hongwu and fell into a well and died.
However, now, because of his Zhu Su, Lao Zhu moved the idea of abolishing his appearance in advance, and Hu Weiyong also died early at the hands of Lao Zhu. Hu Weiyong didn't have time to assassinate Liu Bowen's family, which also allowed Liu Bowen's life to be extended. It is now the beginning of the twentieth year of Hongwu, and in this way, Liu Bowen has actually lived for more than ten years. It can indeed be regarded as a joy and mourning.
Liu Lian raised his shirt, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said to Zhu Su: "Indeed, before my father left, he heard the news that His Royal Highness had cleared the thieves in the South China Sea...... This is a joy and mourning, the minister really shouldn't be so sad, His Highness smiled. ”
Then, he turned around and instructed his younger brother Liu Jing a few words, and after a while, Liu Jing took a piece of silk cloth from behind and handed it to Liu Lian.
Liu Lian said: "This is my father's last recital, before my father died, he worked hard and instructed his ministers to wait for him to go, and he should present this recital to His Majesty." ”
"Since Your Highness is here, please wait a while, and then forward your father's testament to Your Majesty."
"It's also a last wish of my father."
Zhu Su looked at the piece that said it was a sparse recital, but it was actually a thick stack, almost like a book, and he felt solemn in his heart. Before Liu Bowen left, he actually spent his efforts to write these brilliant words for the Ming Dynasty...... With such a heart, Zhu Su was not moved.
"The king knows." Zhu Su cherished this last piece and put it into his arms. "This fold must be the words of Mr. Jinyu, and this king will cherish it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Lian saluted.
Although there are many prison students who guard Liu Bowen's soul, Zhu Sugui is the vassal king, and it is definitely not possible to worship the king as a minister. After Zhu Su greeted the coffin of the deceased, he left Liu's mansion.
……
"Sincerity Bochen Liu Ji is respectful: In order to explain my people's livelihood and economy, and to expand the territory."
"The minister who hears the monarch is also the lord of all things among the subjects of the world. However, he is the lord of all things among the subjects of the world, and his responsibility is extremely heavy. Today, we will expel the captives, expand the territory, and establish this unprecedented achievement......"
In the palace, above the imperial case, Lao Zhu Zheng was engrossed, looking at this book of Liu Bowen's posthumous recitals written before his death. After a long time, he put down this sparseness, leaned on the dragon chair and exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and then waved his hand to Zhu Biao and Zhu Su: "Boss, fifth, this piece of Liu Lao'er...... Come and see. ”
Zhu Biao and Zhu Su bowed their heads and said yes, and then Zhu Biao stepped forward and took this note to look at Zhu Su together.
"You are not satisfied with this recital...... How to see? Lao Zhu asked.
Zhu Su glanced at ten lines, has read this Liu Bowen's posthumous recital, this piece is sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, but there are not many useless words, when it comes to the meaning, there is only one central idea: Daming, the country has been established for more than 20 years, and the expansion is continuous, it is time to recuperate.
Zhu Su's idea of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, the root of which is to use the things in the next hundred years to incite Lao Zhu: to have the idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace, although the Ming Dynasty now seems to be leveling the four seas, but the foundation is still not thick enough, we should take advantage of the current Ming Dynasty to establish the country, when it is still strong, attack from all sides, and try to include the resources and land of the surrounding countries in their own hands.
