Zhu Xiang: "Hmm. ”

He knows. He has now made a lot of "playthings" and wants to make you happy in the last moments of your life.

Qin Wangzhu told Zhu Xiang that he was very happy now, as if he had returned to the time when his brother was still there.

At that time, Qin Wangzhu was only An Guojun, and the present and future of Qin had nothing to do with him. He drank a little wine, hugged the beauty, and his mind was full of how to have fun today and how to have fun tomorrow.

"It's nice to be able to go back to the last moment of my life when I miss it the most." Qin Wangzhu is very free and easy.

Chapter 157: Shouxiao Dried Tofu

Qin Wangzhu's body continued to weaken, and many people knew that he was about to lose his strength. He and those around him were mentally prepared.

Zhu Xiang was also mentally prepared.

But no one expected that before Zhu Xiang sent Qin Wangzhu away, he sent away another elder, Fan Ju.

Fan Ju is not young anymore. After the death of King Qin Zhaoxiang, his spirit instantly withered, as if a part of his life had gone with King Qin Zhaoxiang.

Fan Ju returned to Fengyi, and the careful care of his descendants did not restore his spirits.

When Qin Wangzhu summoned him back to Xianyang, Fan Ju's descendants originally hoped that Fan Ju would refuse.

But Fan Ju was not allowed.

He returned to Xianyang with his weakened body and responded to Qin Wangzhu's request.

Fan Ju has a house in Xianyang City. He did not take it back when he returned to the fiefdom. The children and grandchildren were worried about his health and came to Xianyang with him.

When Zhu Xiang returned, Fan Ju sent his descendants to visit Zhu Xiang; After Zhu Xiang recovered from his illness, he also visited Fan Ju, whose legs were already inconvenient.

At that time, Fan Ju's spirit was still very good.

After Fan Ju returned to Xianyang City, his spirits became much better. Others had always thought that Fan Ju's body would get better.

The day before Fan Ju passed away, his body looked fine, and he used a bowl of porridge before going to bed.

But on the second day, when the children and grandchildren waited for Fan Ju to get up, Fan Ju had already passed away.

So calm, so calm that I can't believe it.

Qin Wangzhu refused to believe that Fan Ju had died like this. He thought that someone had murdered Fan Ju and asked Zichu to investigate the matter thoroughly.

But after checking and checking, the imperial doctor and the famous folk doctor took turns to come over to see it, and finally concluded that Ying Hou Fan Ju did fall asleep naturally.

Slept forever.

With Fan Ju's age, there is no pain in his sleep, and he should be a happy mourner.

But Qin Wangzhu couldn't accept this.

He was helped by Zhu Xiang to Fan Ju's mourning hall, stared at Fan Ju's coffin for a long time, and kept asking Zhu Xiang, "Why did Ying Jun fall asleep."

Zhu Xiang didn't know how to answer.

He hasn't accepted it yet.

The relationship between Fan Ju and Zhu Xiang has been estranged in recent years, but when Zhu Xiang first arrived in the Qin State, Fan Ju and Bai Qi lived in Zhu Xiang's house, and the relationship established at that time would not fade away so easily.

When Zhu Xiang first arrived in this unfamiliar place, he relied on Fan Ju and Bai Qi for protection.

Some of the unspoken rules of Qin Law and Qin officialdom were taught to Zhu Xiang by Fan Ju and Bai Qi. The two of them are the guides of Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng.

When King Qin Zhaoxiang was alive, the two treated Zhu Xiang like Lin Gong and Lian Gong.

Of course, the relationship between Fan Ju and Bai Qi and Zhu Xiang is mixed with many complex interests, which is not as pure as Lin Gong and Lian Gong. But their kindness to Zhu Xiang is real.

When Zhu Xiang visited Fan Ju a few days ago, Fan Ju also said that when his body was better and his legs and feet were more convenient, he would live on Zhu Xiang Zhuangzi for a while and rest for a while.

He is still in charge of the defense of the Qin Palace, and there are a lot of things to do, and he can't be idle. Regardless of whether Qin Wangzhu passed away or not, Zi Chu and Zhu Xiang had returned to Xianyang, and he, the old man, should also return his position to the young man, and no longer need to act as the last insurance. At that time, he stayed in Zhu Xiang's house for a while longer, and then returned to Fengyi.

Zhu Xiangdu asked people to clean up the courtyard where Fan Ju originally lived, and wait for Fan Ju to come and live at any time.

No one expected that Fan Ju would leave like this.

Bai Qi, who was already very old, stood in front of Fan Ju's coffin and remained silent for a long time.

Bai Qi said: "When the first lord died, Ying Jun became very old. At that time, it was as if he would follow the Lord. ”

Bai Qi said again: "He looks better now, but he is really gone." ”

When everyone thought that Fan Ju would die soon, Fan Ju did not leave; When everyone thought that Fan Ju would live for a few more years, Fan Ju left quietly.

Why are things in this world so unexpected?

Fan Ju went so suddenly, his children and grandchildren were all stunned when they arranged the mourning hall for Fan Ju, and they couldn't cry for a while.

Ying Xiaozheng threw away the government affairs in his hand, took the gift of the juniors, and helped Fan Ju close the coffin with his own hands.

His expression was also dumbfounded.

Ying Xiaozheng remembered that he lived with Fan Ju when he was a child, Fan Ju's appetite was very small, and he was too greedy and was forbidden by his uncle and aunt to eat too many snacks, so he often ate secretly from Fan Ju.

Fan Ju asked for a fragrant roast chicken, and he only ate wings, neck, and a chicken leg, and the rest of the parts were Ying Xiaozheng's.

What other pastries, preserved fruits, and preserved meat, Ying Xiaozheng came to Fan Ju here, and there were always endless snacks.

Among all the elders, Fan Ju has the most no bottom line for Ying Xiaozheng.

Even Bai Qi will teach Ying Xiaozheng, and Fan Ju only knows how to feed Ying Xiaozheng.

Zhu Xiang once complained to King Qin Zhaoxiang that if Ying Xiaozheng is still a ball when he grows up, Fan Gong has an unshirkable responsibility.

Ying Xiaozheng has grown up, not a ball, his posture is very upright, like a green pine.

After Fan Ju saw Ying Xiaozheng who came back from Nanqin, he smiled and said to Ying Xiaozheng, "The ancestor failed to see such a Zheng'er, I saw it, and then when I reunited with the ancestor and told the ancestor that the ancestor must be very happy."

Ying Xiaozheng replied at the time: "Fan Weng wants to praise Zheng'er more in front of Zeng's father." ”

But he didn't expect that Fan Ju would go to his great-father so soon to praise him.

Ying Xiaozheng said to Zhu Xiang: "Uncle, Zheng'er feels a little uncomfortable. ”

Zhu Xiang came back to his senses from his trance and said, "Uncle is the same." ”

He looked at the coffin, then looked down at the yellow paper in his hand.

Did Fan Gong really pass away?

He thought that Fan Gong would live for several years, so he didn't bother Fan Gong too much.

If he knows, if he knows......

What if he knew?

Zhu Xiang was a little dazed.

Fan Ju's sudden death also caused a great sensation in Xianyang City.

Some people rumored that Fan Ju was killed. Although Qin Wangzhu finally announced that Fan Ju really slept without illness and disaster, and it was a joy and mourning, there were still people chattering in secret, and some people attributed this matter to the spies of the Six Kingdoms.

Qin Wangzhu was supposed to use this matter to do something, but he suddenly became unhappy.

Seven days after Fan Ju stopped in Xianyang City, he was helped by his descendants to return to his hometown. Qin Wangzhu specially allowed Fan Ju's sons to inherit more than one generation of Fan Ju's fiefdoms.

Before the coffins returned home, Qin Wangzhu told them to carry the coffins to the tomb of King Qin Zhaoxiang for worship.

When Fan Ju was alive, he once asked Qin Wangzhu for this, hoping that his coffin could stay in front of King Qin Zhaoxiang for a while, so that he might be able to catch up with the footsteps of the ancestors.

Qin Wangzhu did not allow it at that time, believing that it violated the etiquette system. But now he agreed.

After Fan Ju left, Qin Wangzhu asked Bai Qi to immediately dismiss his post and rest well.

Bai Qi lived in Zhu Xiang's Zhuangzi, and taught Ying Xiaozheng and Zhu Xiang to practice martial arts and military books every day, and looked in good spirits.

But Fan Ju was in good spirits the day before he died. Zhu Xiang's spirit was very nervous, for fear that something would happen to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi didn't have an accident.

The next thing developed as they had prepared mentally, and after the weather cooled down, Qin Wangzhu gradually failed.

The world is still so impermanent.

Bad things don't happen when you're mentally prepared, and when you relax, bad things come.

Qin Wangzhu suddenly lost consciousness and continued to be in a coma for several days.

When he woke up, he couldn't get up, and he couldn't even speak a little slurred.

At this time, Qin Wangzhu, who had always behaved very freely about life and death, suddenly became weak.

He grabbed Zhu Xiang's hand and cried, "Is the widow going to die?" The widow doesn't want to die. ”

Qin Wangzhu kept crying like a child, very scared, so scared that he didn't dare to close his eyes, worried that if he closed his eyes, he would never be able to open his eyes again.

He asked Zhu Xiang: "Zhu Xiang, are you an immortal?" Do you know what the world is like after death? I was really scared. ”

Zhu Xiang could only make up some small stories about the underworld for Qin Wangzhu, telling Qin Wangzhu that the world after his death was very beautiful and that he would not suffer pain.

He became afraid of the darkness, and he had to light candles all night, not daring to be alone.

The Imperial Physician was terrified.

King Qin's body was already very weak, he refused to rest well, and his body deteriorated faster.

Zi Chu, Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng kept persuading King Qin to take a nap, and they would always accompany King Qin.

Qin Wangzhu kept sobbing, looking helpless and pitiful, and finally couldn't control his sleepiness and fell asleep. When he awoke, he was terrified again, afraid of the darkness and death.

After going on like this for a few days, Qin Wangzhu finally controlled his emotions.

He drove away Zichu and Ying Xiaozheng, leaving only Zhu Xiang.

Qin Wangzhu said ashamedly: "The widow is really ugly. If my father sees me, he will be disappointed in me. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "This is human nature, and the ancestor will not be disappointed." ”

Qin Wangzhu sighed, "He will definitely be disappointed. He was often disappointed in me. ”

Qin Wangzhu complained a few words about King Qin Zhaoxiang, and then asked Zhu Xiang: "Is the widow a good King of Qin?" ”

Zhu Xiang replied: "Yes." ”
