Chapter 1086: The Death of the Hero
"That's great." Timur said with a smile: "It is impossible for the surrounding countries to destroy our country and capture the city of Samarkand. Now, I can be completely relieved. ”
When Yunxi heard this, he was about to say something, when suddenly Timur was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.
Yun Xi was taken aback, and immediately ordered the waiter to help him up, and asked the imperial doctor to come forward to check his pulse.
The imperial physician took the pulse for a long time, then stood up and said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, Timur Khan's body is terminally ill, and the minister cannot be cured. ”
"What? He's sick like this? Yun Xi was very surprised and asked: "I think he is still fine, besides, he has been commanding the soldiers of Samarkand to fight before, if he is so sick, how can he command the war?" ”
"Your Majesty," the imperial physician said cautiously, "I don't know why Timur was still able to fight with troops before, but now his people are indeed sick, and the minister is powerless, at most he can prescribe a few pairs of medicinal herbs, so that he can delay for a few more days, but only five days at most." ”
"Your Majesty, what is your doctor talking about?" Timur asked. He only knew a few words in Chinese, so he didn't know what the doctor had just said.
"Timur Khan, he just said that your illness is already very serious, and he can't play to cure it completely, so he can only let you live a few more days." Yun Xi said.
"Am I sick enough? I had no idea that I had only vomited blood a few times and was still able to command a battle with my senses. According to the books I have returned from Damascus and other places, I should have been delirious a long time ago. Timur, however, did not pay much attention to the fact that he had died sooner than expected, but muttered something else.
"It's possible, and current research is far from revealing all the mysteries of the human body." Yun Xi said. In his previous life, he had heard a story about a Japanese air force ground officer during World War II, who was wounded by a strafing plane of the Chinese army, but still insisted on his post until all the planes returning to the country landed, and then suddenly fell to the ground. The people on the side hurriedly took him to the hospital, but he died halfway through. Later, after research, the doctor believed that with the amount of bleeding at that time, he should have been delirious a long time ago, but he has been awake to complete his task.
Yun Xi doesn't know if this story is made up by the Japanese to brag about it, but if it is true, it can prove that willpower, or spirit, can react on the body.
However, scientific discussion is not important now, Yun Xi immediately said: "Timur Khan, I will immediately ask the doctor to prescribe medicine for you, so that you can live a few more days." He then spoke to the Imperial Physician again in Chinese.
Yun Xi was now very reluctant for Timur to die. Although they had only chatted for a few hours, and they couldn't say that they had a good conversation, he was the first person Yun Xi had met in his life who could communicate with him on an equal footing, and he wanted to be able to talk to him for a few more days.
When the imperial physician heard Yun Xi's words, he immediately took out a pen and paper and wrote down his prescription, and his apprentice was about to prescribe the medicine.
But at this time, Timur suddenly said: "Your Majesty, don't let the doctor prescribe medicine for me." Since I am already dying, this is what Allah means for me to die now, and using medicine to live a few more days is against the will of Allah, no need to do. ”
"How can this be the will of Allah? Allah has so many believers, can he still make sure that every believer will die? He's too, too busy, to be impossible. Yun Xi wanted to say that he was too idle to do anything, but when the words came to his lips, he still changed to this sentence.
"Ordinary believers may not, but I'm different." Timur said: "I am the king of the most powerful country of the Celestial Sect now, and I have waged a holy war at the will of Allah, but I have failed, and Allah will certainly be dissatisfied with me, so let me return to the arms of the Lord before." ”
After saying this, he coughed a few times, and then said, "Even if you send someone to bring the medicine, I won't take it." You might as well be able to force the medicine in my mouth. I'm weak now, and I can't stop it. But I will kill myself and I will not speak to you again. So you make it useless to forcibly keep me alive, just let me die like this. ”
"But, that's it, I won't interfere with your life or death." Yun Xi then said to the imperial doctor in Chinese: "Let your apprentice come back, there is no need to decoct the medicine." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Imperial Doctor also couldn't understand Mongolian, and he didn't know why Yun Xi was here. But he doesn't need to know why, just listen to orders.
"Stand down." Yun Xi then asked him to step down.
"Your Majesty, I can suddenly feel that I am going to die. It was as if Allah was calling me, and I could feel that I was going to die. ”
Timur laughed abnormally: "It turns out that this is how I felt before I died. I don't know if this is how this is felt only by people who die in a hospital bed like me, or if this is how all the people who die before they die. ”
"But I'll find out soon. All the dead followers of Allah should go to the same place, and so many people who have died here today will surely meet again in heaven or hell, just ask to know. ”
He turned his head to look at Yun Xi again: "If I die normally in Samarkand City, it is estimated that the people around my hospital bed are Pier Maha and others, what I will do should be to tell them many things that need to be paid attention to as the king of a country; But I failed to lead my troops to the east, and I was captured by you, and I can't do any of this. ”
"However, you Han people have an old saying, people are about to die, their words are good, and birds are dying and their mourning is also singing, I have a few words to say to you, are you willing to listen?"
Yun Xi nodded. This is the last words of a generation of heroes before they die, how could he not listen.
"Your Majesty, I'll call you Yunxi. Your order to strictly prohibit the Heavenly Fang Sect from circulating in the country is not appropriate. Of course, I have my own selfish intentions in saying this to you, but it is also insightful. ”
"If a country or a nation wants to develop, it must communicate with the outside world. Scholars have studied the history of many countries, and those whose internal contradictions are not so big as to divide the country, but have been repeatedly bullied and even destroyed by foreign countries, are all countries that have little communication with the outside world. Because of the lack of communication with the outside world, they gradually fall behind in all aspects, and by the time foreign enemies come to the door, it is often too late to change. ”
"The Great Cannibal was also the first to move south along the African coastline. They crossed Somalia and went further south, where they found that the people, though similar in race to the Abyssinians in the north, were far less civilized! Abyssinia has a very advanced system and has a deep study of medicine, etc. But the blacks to the south of them were still in a primitive society, not only did they not have their own writing, but they even had very few words in the language, because their civilization was very low, and they didn't use many words. ”
"The reason why they are lagging behind is that there is too little communication with the outside world, so communication is very necessary."
"Since it is communication, it cannot be forced to assimilate the other party, it is not called communication. Therefore, we should allow people who are completely different from the people in our country to enter our own country, and also allow all kinds of ideas to spread in our country, so that we can be regarded as exchanges and promote the development of civilization. ”
"Of course, it is not good if the mind is too confused, so there are some restrictions, such as in Samarkand City, they are not allowed to blaspheme Allah, they cannot impose their ideas on others, and at the same time impose a poll tax on the infidels to suppress the spread of other religions. But it must not be all banned. ”
"In today's world, there are not a majority of people who believe in Buddhism or Taoism, and if you keep banning the spread of Tianfang Religion and Cross Religion in China, it will be tantamount to turning away most people in the world from communicating with them, and I can tell you responsibly that your country will gradually fall behind if this continues."
"So you'd better loosen your grip on that."
"I'll think about it." Yun Xi said.
Timur's eyes were already a little dilated at this time, and he couldn't see Yunxi's expression clearly, and he didn't know if he had listened, so he took a breath and said, "In addition, I have one more thing to ask you." ”
"If, if one of my descendants is desperate and has to go east to Daming, I hope that Your Majesty will treat him well, even if Your Majesty is unwilling to relax his religious prohibition, please be kind to him, and do not force him to convert to another religion. Of course, if he violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty can dispose of him in accordance with the law. ”
"Okay, I promise you!" Yun Xi said. He can still pat his chest and agree to this.
"Thank you." Timur forced himself to finish saying this, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he began to shout in a language that Yunxi did not understand. Yun Xi hurriedly sent someone to call the interpreter in.
An interpreter quickly walked in and translated Timur's words: "......, if you want to resent me, resent me, although this war is right, it is for Allah to wage a holy war, but I have been defeated, I have failed the expectations of Allah, and I deserve resentment." ”
"Jesbous, don't you resent me? Great, and ......, you guys don't resent me. Then if we can see Allah, we will ask the Lord to forgive us for our mistakes. ”
"Lord, your most faithful servant has come to you." Timur then shouted a few more words, but the interpreter did not hear him clearly, and he became silent. Samache immediately rushed up and stood aside and began to cry. One of Yun Xi's attendants stepped forward and probed his nose and said to Yun Xi, "Your Majesty, Timur has passed away. ”
