At the end of October, everything was as calm as usual.

Until October 29.

I was discussing with Li Si and the four about the grain output and the number of fields in various places, when Meng He hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Longxi, the Marquis of Longxi has arrived!"

Hearing the news suddenly, I was stunned for a moment before I reacted, and frowned: "Who will report the news, are you sure?" ”

"The eldest son of the Marquis of Longxi came to report, and he was waiting outside the palace."

"Call."

Li Si and the four of them originally had different expressions, and Li Si felt a little empathetic, after all, he was also old, and Li Xin was also an official in the same dynasty as him back then. The other three were just a little surprised, and they didn't have much affection for this unknown Longxi Hou.

Hearing that I was going to summon Li Zi, Yu He hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, those who are mourning are not allowed to meet Your Majesty......"

I was stunned again, and then I remembered the rules of the imperial court, no wonder Li Zi was waiting outside the palace.

After thinking about it, I instructed: "Rare book, according to the rules of the imperial court, draft an edict for Li Zi to bring back." ”

"Yes!"

I was silent for a while, and said with emotion: "At the beginning of my accession to the throne, the first major thing was to go to Lintao alone to subdue the Beiqiang clan. ”

Li Si's old state was even more obvious, and he was relieved when he heard this: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be too sad, life and death have their own destiny, how can anyone ......stop it."

I nodded: "Everything should be done according to the etiquette of the Marquis of Nei, and his eldest son will be ordered to inherit the Marquis of Longxi, and the food will be reduced to 500 households, and his youngest son will be ordered to inherit the title without changing the title." ”

Although Li Xin was named the Marquis of Longxi, he had very few food estates, and the reason was naturally the failure of the expedition, so his Marquis of Longxi was more of a symbolic marquis.

Among the three sons, Li Qu is already an official, and the title is a fifth-level doctor, which is higher than the fourth-level doctor, so naturally he can't inherit the lower lord, so only his youngest son will inherit the title and take away part of the rights of the eldest son, so it is necessary to reduce the eldest son's food.

It is generally said that the title of Marquis of Kannai will not be downgraded to inheritance, and it is only that the title level will not be downgraded, but it does not mean that the 'rights' enjoyed will not be downgraded.

Naturally, the four of them had no objections.

After this incident, I suspended the discussion and a few people tasted tea.

After being silent for a while, Feng Zheng just wanted to find a topic, and Meng He came in again.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Nine Plains Forbidden Land......

Seeing Meng He's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, I faintly guessed: "It's okay, let's say it." ”

"Yes. Liu Ji died. ”

The four of them were a little puzzled, and they racked their brains and didn't think of where there was a person named Liu Ji in the Jiuyuan Forbidden Land who was worth reporting to me alone, and the nobles of the Six Kingdoms did not have the surname Liu or Liu.

Hearing this news, I didn't know what kind of mood I was in for a while, Liu Bang was older than Ying Zheng, and now he died three years earlier than in history.

I put down the cup in my hand and looked out of the hall for a long time.

The four of them were even more curious, the death of this person named Liu Ji actually made me lose my temper more than Li Xin's death.

Feng Zheng was naturally the first to hold back, and said cautiously with a curious expression: "Your Majesty, who is this Liu Ji......

I came back to my senses, looked at Feng Zheng and still didn't speak, Feng Zheng was stared at by me, and I regretted talking a lot.

I suddenly smiled and said lightly, "It's just a nobody." Meng He, the body was returned to ...... In his hometown, he was buried with the rites of the minister, and his family ......"

I then thought that he seemed to have no family, Lu Pheasant's family was killed, Liu Bang's father had already died, the three brothers died at the foot of the Great Wall after Liu Bang was imprisoned in Jiuyuan, whether intentionally or not, and the only few friends except Fan Xu were also in the forbidden land of Jiuyuan.

Originally, he was supposed to be a hero who was proud of the crowd and created a brilliant man for 400 years, but now he died in obscurity in Jiuyuan, ending up in such a bleak end, he may not understand why I suddenly imprisoned him until he died......

I withdrew my gaze and shook my head, "So be it." ”

Feng Zheng seemed to scratch his heart, while I was talking about the unknown person, and on the other hand, I was going to bury him with the ceremony of the minister, which simply adjusted his appetite to the extreme!

I ignored him and rubbed my stiff cheeks: "Go ahead." ”

Everyone had just cleaned up their mood, and Zhao Shanben, who had finished delivering the edict, almost rushed into the hall with a roll.

"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother is critically ill! ”

I got up suddenly, and without saying a word, I hurried towards Zhengchi Palace, and the four of Li Si were also shocked, and immediately got up and followed.

————

Shoike Palace.

The autumn leaves keep falling, and despite the constant efforts of someone to clean up, there is still no guarantee that there will not be a single fallen leaf on the ground.

Hurriedly walking into Zhengchi Palace, Su Hezheng stood respectfully aside, and there were a few maids beside him.

And Liang, lying quietly on the couch, had some difficulty breathing.

"Queen Mother!"

Li Si and the others followed in: "See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wan'an!" ”

Liangqiang squeezed out a smile: "It's all free of courtesy, all of it is free of courtesy...... Have a seat. ”

Seeing this, wherever everyone dared to sit, they all stood and looked in the direction of Liang.

I didn't ask how Liang's body was, Su He's expression said it all.

"Queen Mother...... You can recuperate with peace of mind, and you will get better. ”

Liang is the second person I came to this world and opened my eyes to see, and I am glad that she is different from history and has taken her rightful place, but she is still unknown.

Since Ying Wuxian's death, she is the only person who deserves my unconditional trust.

Liang smiled and took my hand: "I know my body...... You sit. ”

I sat down next to Liang.

"Lis, a few of you, come closer."

Li Si and the others took two steps forward: "Queen Mother, the ministers are here." “

Liang stared at everyone's face carefully, and finally stopped at Li Si's face.

"Daqin is fortunate to have you."

"The ministers will die for Great Qin and will not resign!"

Liang nodded lightly and didn't say anything more: "You guys go." ”

Then he commanded, "All go down." ”

I waved my hand, and everyone exited the side hall.

Kind and loving eyes stared at me, and a soft voice sounded: "Do you know what the happiest day of my life is?" ”

I shook my head slightly.

"It's the winter solstice of thirty-seven years." Liang seemed to recall the good times of that day: "That day, you braved the heavy snow to run to Wan'an Palace and told me to make dumplings. When I arrived at Fuliang Palace, I was especially surprised that you were able to have an epiphany about many ways to be a king, as well as that dumpling......"

Liang slowly recalled a lot, all about the bits and pieces of that winter solstice.

Before I knew it, tears were covering my cheeks.

From that winter solstice to the present, twelve years, Ying Zheng, Feng Quji, Ying Wu, and Xingzhong...... The old man died like a leaf in the wind, and the last dead leaves on the branches were crumbling......
