When he arrived in Xiyang City from the imperial capital, Ji Yi didn't want to take his father-in-law Mu with him, although he was not used to not having him by his side, but he was old, and it was really torture to travel long distances. Although this battle endangered the life and death of the Great Xia Dynasty, Duke Mu entered the palace since he was a child, and he has been serving the royal family from beginning to end, and he is more qualified than anyone else to enjoy his old age. But the first emperor died, leaving Yi Yi and Ji Yunying, and he still stood up without hesitation to stabilize the throne of Yi Yi!

The reason why there was no civil strife in the Great Xia Dynasty was that in addition to the imperial army secretly eliminating evil and helping the right, Gonggong Mu also contributed a lot. How many people are dissatisfied with Ji Yi, how many enemies he has for his father-in-law. When he was young, Father-in-law Mu was by his side, and he was able to have today's achievements and bearing, and Father-in-law Mu was the primary hero.

Father-in-law Mu once taught Emperor Yi the way of Emperor Yi with his own hands, although he was a eunuch, he was decent, and the number of etiquette was exactly the same, which made those ministers of state rites in awe. Regardless of astronomy and geography, there is nothing that Father-in-law Mu does not know, as the enlightenment teacher of Ji Yi, he is no longer an old eunuch serving himself in front of the latter, but a role similar to his father.

When a courtier said that Yi Yi's calligraphy was crooked and there was no emperor's style, Mu Gonggong took Xi Yi to practice day and night. A strategist said that Yi Yi was too young to understand human affairs, so he found thousands of books, read them by himself, found points that could be perused, and then asked Yi Yi to read and think, so as to speed up efficiency.

In that imperial study, Father-in-law Mu stayed with Grandpa Yi for many hot and cold winters, and Grandpa Mu stayed as long as Grandpa Mu stayed. Whether it was porridge in the morning or a refreshing medicinal soup in the middle of the night, Father-in-law Mu had tasted it with Yi Yi. So at this time, the young emperor hurriedly ran to Grandpa Mu's room, wanting to see him.

This day has finally arrived, but Yi Yi didn't expect it to be such a moment. He thought that Gonggong Mu could see him go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and see the victory of Great Xia, but he was dying, lying on the bed as if he was waiting.

Yi Yi forgot how she got to the room, she ran all the way, her face nervous, her eyes ruddy. As soon as he entered the door, he looked past the kneeling maid guard to the end of the simple room.

Ji Yi finally looked at Mu Gonggong, his kind appearance was always the same, but he could no longer make Ji Yi feel at ease. Because it is difficult for him to return to heaven, it is difficult for his only relative to remain in the world.

In order to see Ji Yi, Mu Gonggong always stared at the door. At this time, he quietly watched Ji Yi come over. His last breath was also reserved for Ji Yi. They all have something to say to each other, and they are all deep feelings that have been hidden for a lifetime, and all blessings.

Ji Yi tried to calm himself down, because he was an emperor, but in front of the smiling Mu Gonggong, he was just like a child. Ji Yi learned from him, and smiled slightly, ridiculously reluctantly, and sadly laughed. He knelt down beside Father-in-law Mu's bed, held his cold old hand, which was as old as wood, and tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes.

Father-in-law Mu's face was pale, and his voice was weak, but he still said in a gentle tone like Ji Yi when he was a child, but it was impossible to compromise:

"As an emperor, you must not kneel to the eunuchs. ”

Father-in-law Mu's cheeks were old and pale, and Ling Yi shook his head slightly, as if he was going to be disobedient this time. He let out with a shout, causing everyone to crawl out of the room. This room was empty, but Father-in-law Mu repeated, Ji Yi still didn't get up, he was like an unfilial rebel, kneeling in front of his old father, he couldn't open his mouth for a while, but he was crying very uncompetitively.

Father-in-law Mu's old eyes were cloudy, and tears welled up, but he lingered in the twisted wrinkles, and he couldn't fall for a long time.

"Don't cry, I'm sure you can protect Great Xia. ”

Ji Yi nodded vigorously, which was originally a funny action, but at this time, accompanied by tears, it looked extremely sad.

Since he was a child, Father-in-law Mu has believed in Yi Yi so much, as he often said, he has assisted three generations of emperors, and he knows best what kind of bravery and imperial spirit is circulating in the blood of Ji Yi. But even the emperor can't reverse life and death, change time, and can't make time go back to the scorching heat of that year.

The scene suddenly appeared in Yi Yi's mind, he was sitting at his desk writing and memorizing, but the weather was hot, no matter how he improved or was sleepy. When Father-in-law Mu saw it, fortunately he didn't call him anymore, but just fanned him who was sweating. How long did Ji Yi sleep, and how long did Mu Gonggong fan. Now Father-in-law Mu is sleepy and wants to sleep, but Yi Yi doesn't want to fan him, just holds his hand, with some crying, and says:

"Don't go. ”

Father-in-law Mu didn't pay attention to Ji Yi, and said to himself:

"The old slave has been assisting the Great Xia Monarch for seventy-three years, but he is the happiest to follow the Holy One. Although the saint does not have the qualifications of the first emperor and it is difficult to become a cultivator, he is the most successful emperor in the heart of the old slave. ”

Speaking of this, Father-in-law Mu burst into tears, and Ji Yi was even more tearful.

"When I was young, the old slave took care of the saint by my side, and I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany him in the future. I hope that the Holy Lord will protect the territory, sit on the throne, and discuss with the good ministers in case of affairs, not insist on going his own way, and not let the traitors and villains do tricks on the loyal ministers, and love the people, you can eat a few plates of delicacies, and the people's rations are indispensable. This is the way for the emperor to prosper and to achieve all kinds of things. ”

"Don't go, don't go. ”

Yi Yi choked, and his voice penetrated the door, whether it was the maid guard, the imperial doctor, or the strategist general, all of them had tears in their eyes when they heard it, and knelt in front of the door. The prince of a country, even a eunuch, should receive this heavy gift. The so-called dedication and dedication, after death, is such loyalty!

"The time has come, I should go, there is one thing, I hope that the Holy One will be fulfilled. ”

Father-in-law Mu cried and laughed, seeing Ji Yi like this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He was happy that Ji Yi and he had a strong relationship with him, but he was sad that he only had such affection. Since the death of the first emperor, he has no children and no daughters, and he has raised Yi Yi as his own child. But his identity is difficult to transgress, and before he died, he never heard the word he wanted to hear, but after his death, he hoped that he would not stay in the green wilderness.

"You say, you say. ”

Ji Yi couldn't leave Father-in-law Mu, and when he heard what he said, he even put his face close to his hand, and his heart was painful.

"I beg the saint not to care about the status of the old slave eunuch and bury the old slave next to the princess's tomb. The princess is weak and sick, and the old slave is down there to take care of her. ”

"Good, good. ”

Ji Yi nodded, and when he looked up again, Father-in-law Mu had already gone. He finally gave up his name to complete the task given to him by the emperor for the rest of his life.

Tears from the corners of her eyes soaked the pillow, and she lowered her voice, crying heartbreakingly. But under this cry, Father-in-law Mu finally saw his beloved little princess, holding a book, standing in the hibiscus bush and calling him. She was as bright as a little fairy, and her face was no longer tormented by illness. Father-in-law Mu staggered his legs and agreed vigorously, saying that the old slave is coming, the old slave is coming. His lovely little princess stood where she was, waiting for her to come, and then she stretched out her little smooth hand, and took hold of his dry hand, and said to him:

"Father-in-law Mu, I have written a few new poems for you. ”

......

A fist slammed into the edge of the bed, and the screams were full of weakness. Ji Yi roared in the room, but he never let go of Grandpa Mu's hand. He should have called out the word that Grandpa Mu wanted to hear, but he didn't say it at the time, and even if he said it thousands of times at this time, it would be difficult for him to hear it.

Ji Yi knelt in front of the bed for a long time, and since then, he can no longer drink the three meals brought by Mu Gonggong. At his birthday party, he could no longer drink with him as usual. Since then, he has no relatives in the world, and he has to face the world alone, and people like Mu Gonggong are gone.

From the moment he heard the news that Father-in-law Mu was critically ill, Ji Yi felt that five thunders had hit the ground. This morning he said that he was not feeling well and wanted to go back to rest, and he was diagnosed by the imperial physician Yi Pailang, and he came again at noon, but he didn't expect that Shouzheng's end of life would come so quickly, and the pillars supporting him would be cut so quickly.

Ji Yi looked at Father-in-law Mu's old face for a long time, staring at the few age spots and lost his mind. In this regard, Ji Yi wants to go to the morning court alone, and a lot of things can only be told to the pot of hibiscus flowers that often accompany him.

When the tears on his face dried and became two marks, Ji Yi stood up, he didn't care to wipe his face, and walked to the door. In the face of the ministers this time, he must be more determined and do what an emperor should do, so as to live up to the expectations of Father-in-law Mu and be worthy of him.

Open the door, Yi Yi stands straight, like the right way in the world. The face is iron-green, and there is an unchallengeable imperial might. His eyelids were slightly lowered, as if all his emotions were hidden in the depths, and they were no longer easily revealed. It takes a long time to understand the truth of growing up, but it only takes a moment to really grow up.

"Bring the prince back to the palace and bury him on the side of the princess. ”

Someone received the order, and someone went to the front hall with Yi Yi to deal with the things to be dealt with. This process took several hours, but no one dared to comfort him, and no one dared to mention Grandpa Mu. The strategists and generals performed their duties, and Yi Yi also sat on his dragon chair, but when he touched the armrest of the dragon's head, he always felt that he needed to change his tactics.

"Su Aiqing, do you think the army led by General Jinghong should go to the front line?"

Su Zhongmou always thought that the Holy Lord was remembering Father-in-law Mu, and he called it a well-deserved Duke of the Kingdom, worthy of the Saint's memory, including all the people of Great Xia. But since the saint was thinking about the war, Su Zhongmou was naturally respectful, and then analyzed, and said:

"I am afraid that the Xia family's army going to the front line has been known to Nanshang, rather than letting them stop in Xiyang, it is better to carry out the original plan, so that it is more convenient to carry out the task of retreat, and beyond Nanshang's imagination, so that he will focus on cotton. ”

Yi Yi nodded slightly, summoned the four treasures of the study, and wrote the letter again. On the way to write, Yi Yi asked:

"Su Aiqing, can the residence be arranged?"

"The residences of the millions of soldiers on the front line and the Xia Jiajun are all prepared. ”

"I'm tired. ”

Su Zhongmou stepped back later, always feeling that something was wrong with the saint, but this maturity was not a bad thing after all. An emperor who is not alarmed, a loyal courtier, and an army that protects the country at the expense of me. Daxia has everything, and the next step is to see the clever use of tactics and the flexible use of the army.
