Chapter 1005: Tuo Gu
In May 227 AD, Chen Xu, the king of Qin, became critically ill again, and it was even more serious than the last time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In Chang'an City, all martial law had been allowed, and Guan Chinese Wu almost gathered outside the Qin King's Mansion, waiting anxiously.
"Crunch!"
After a long time, the door was slowly opened, and Hua Tuo walked out with a tired face.
Chen Zheng stepped forward, grabbed Hua Tuo's hands, and asked expectantly, "Sir, how is his condition?" ”
A look of helplessness flashed on Hua Tuo's face, and he bowed and saluted: "The lord has been fighting on the battlefield for many years and has left a lot of dark wounds, so the prince should prepare early." ”
When Chen Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but stand on the spot.
Although he was already mentally prepared, after hearing Hua Tuo's words, it was still a little difficult to accept.
"The King of Qin has an order, Xuan Chenqun, Tian Feng, Li Ru, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Xu Xian will meet you!"
At this moment, Jiang Wei walked out, tears faintly appearing in his eyes, but he still conveyed Chen Xu's order.
The people who were named at each other, after glancing at each other, all walked solemnly towards the house.
"Crunch!"
After a few people entered the house, Jiang Wei hurriedly closed the door, for fear that the wind would pour in.
"See the lord!"
When several people saw Chen Xu who was sick in bed, they all felt a little blocked in their hearts and bowed.
Chen Xu didn't get up, just lay on the bed and whispered, "It's all exempt." ”
Several people straightened up and looked at Chen Xu, whose face was like gold paper, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"I summoned you in this time to establish the throne of King Qin."
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank.
Who is the successor of the new King of Qin, this is closely related to the interests of everyone, and everyone does not dare to make a sound.
"Ah Zheng is the eldest son, and I have always cultivated him as the next King of Qin, and I ordered that from today on, Chen Zheng will inherit the throne of King Qin."
Although this ending had been expected for a long time, after the new King of Qin was confirmed, everyone still breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Brother Changwen, you will draft the edict in front of everyone, and then announce it to the world."
"If anyone dares to disobey the edict, there will be no forgiveness!"
Even though Chen Xu was terminally ill, when he said such a thing, everyone still felt a rushing killing intent.
Chen Qun's heart sank, and he immediately took the paper and pen handed over by Jiang Wei, and drafted the edict under the witness of everyone.
Chen Qun's writing was extraordinary, and he soon finished writing the edict, Jiang Wei picked it up and read it for Chen Xu, and Chen Xu felt very satisfied after listening to it.
"You pass on this order together, I don't want any accidents, I hope you can assist Ah Zheng well in the future."
Chen Xu closed his eyes and motioned for everyone to leave.
Although everyone still had a lot to say, when they saw Chen Xu's appearance, they retreated very interestingly.
"Yuan Hao, you stay."
Just as Tian Feng walked to the door, Chen Xu suddenly shouted, and Tian Feng immediately stopped.
After everyone left, Jiang Wei gently closed the door, and only Chen Xu and Tian Feng were left in the room, as well as a few dead soldiers hidden behind.
"Yuan Hao, come over and sit on the edge of my bed."
Chen Xu's voice was very soft.
For some reason, Tian Feng felt that his nose was a little sour, and he walked over tremblingly and sat on Chen Xu's bed.
Chen Xu slowly stretched out his right hand, Tian Feng hurriedly grabbed it, and said sadly: "Lord, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Chen Xu's pale face showed a bright smile.
"yes, I have something to tell you."
Tian Feng wiped a handful of tears and said, "The lord has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as I can do it, I will not hesitate to break my bones." ”
Chen Xu has the grace of knowing Tian Feng.
It can be said that if there is no Chen Xu's appearance, it will definitely be difficult to die well with Tian Fenggang's straightforward character.
It is precisely with the appearance of Chen Xu that Tian Feng can show what he has learned in his chest, so that he is now famous all over the world and admired by thousands of scholars.
Chen Xu's mind and reuse have created the brilliance of Tianfeng in this time and space.
As for his character, how could Tian Feng not know that if he mistakenly voted for the lord, he might not have such achievements in this life.
Chen Xu grabbed Tian Feng's hand and said with some nostalgia: "When I was a yellow turban thief, I hit it off with my husband. ”
In order to get Mr. help, he even did not hesitate to knock Mr. unconscious, and then kidnapped Mr. away. Whenever I think about it, I always feel a little sorry for my husband. ”
Tian Feng is Chen Xu's first strategist, and he is also the strategist that Chen Xu worked hard to get.
If it weren't for Tian Feng's plan, Chen Xu, who was still short-sighted at that time, would definitely not have today's achievements.
Kidnapping Tian Feng has always been Chen Xu's most proud thing, although he said that he was a little guilty on the surface, a smile appeared on his face.
Tian Feng hurriedly said: "Why did the lord say this, being kidnapped by the lord is the greatest opportunity and honor in my life. ”
"If I didn't follow the lord, my Tianfeng would just be a small name in the countryside, and the lord would have the grace to recreate the experience!"
Chen Xu turned his head to look at Tian Feng, both of them had tears in their eyes, but they suddenly looked at each other and smiled.
Gentlemen and ministers are suitable for each other, and they have no regrets in their lives, which is the best portrayal of them.
"I'm leaving, I hope you can help Ah Zheng a lot, although he has experienced a lot over the years, he still owes some fire after all."
Tian Feng nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, even if I give up this old life, I will definitely help the son." ”
The two chatted for a long time, and finally Tian Feng left.
After Tian Feng left, Zhao Yun was also summoned by Chen Xu alone, and seeing the first general under his command, Chen Xu felt a burst of happiness in his heart.
"Lord!"
Zhao Yun pursed his lips, but he held back and didn't let the tears fall.
"Zilong, did you know that I used to be your fan."
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and asked strangely: "Dare to ask the lord, what is a fan?" ”
Chen Xu smiled even more on his face, and then said: "The so-called fans are fans, as for what it means, Zilong might as well guess it himself." ”
Zhao Yun's tears gathered more and more, and he couldn't help but fall after all.
"Unexpectedly, the lord has been sick to such an extent that he is not even conscious, and he has begun to talk nonsense."
Chen Xu didn't know what Zhao Yun thought, otherwise even if he was on the hospital bed, he would definitely laugh out loud.
Chen Xu's later performance made Zhao Yun quietly relieved, and the two also chatted for a long time, from kidnapping Zhao Feng and Zhao Yu to the war to destroy the Cao family.
"Time is like flowing water, so many years have passed in a flash, we are all old."
Looking at Zhao Yun's white hair, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Yun nodded heavily, but did not speak.
Just looking at Chen Xu's withered face, and then recalling his heroic figure in the past, Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
"Zilong, although you are Ah Jun's uncle, you are also Ah Zheng's uncle."
"I hope that after my death, Zilong will be able to fully assist Ah Zheng and help him clear all obstacles in his way."
Zhao Yun suddenly heard Chen Xu's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "The last general will be loyal to Daqin and the prince, if you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”
Zhao Yun left, but Chen Xu looked up at the roof, and after a long time, he said, "Summoning Zhongda in." ”
Sima Yi came, and his face was worried.
"Zhongda, I grew up watching you, and I still remember the first time we met."
Sima Yi said emotionally: "If it weren't for the promotion of the lord, I'm afraid my Sima clan would have been destroyed in the war. ”
Chen Xu smiled, his smile was very bright.
Chen Xu motioned for Sima Yi to sit on the edge of the bed, then held his hand and said: "The military generals of Guanzhong who have made great achievements in the war either died of illness or died in battle, or they are dying of old age. ”
"Only Zhongda is still prosperous, and I hope that Zhongda will be able to fully assist Azheng in the future and create a peaceful and prosperous era."
Sima Yi said solemnly: "Don't give up!" ”
After staring at Sima Yi for a long time, Chen Xu suddenly smiled, and his smile was very bright.
After laughing, Chen Xu coughed violently, waved his hand a little tiredly, and said, "Zhongda will retreat for the time being, and I will talk to the rest of the people alone." ”
Sima Yi was very knowledgeable, and after saluting, he walked outside.
Chen Xu looked at Sima Yi's departing back, but his eyes were a little complicated, and finally sighed faintly.
After Sima Yi, Zhou Yu was also invited into the house.
When Zhou Yu received the order to be summoned by Chen Xu alone, he couldn't help but be shocked, he didn't expect that he would have such an honor at all.
Everyone knows that the people Chen Xu is summoning now are all important figures in Guanzhong, and this is supporting Gu.
Although Zhou Yu's talent is extraordinary, after all, he is only a general, but Chen Xu trusts him so much, which can't help but make Zhou Yu's heart extremely moved.
"I've seen the lord!"
Facing Chen Xu, Zhou Yu was not as casual as the rest of the people, and he was very respectful.
Chen Xu tried to sit up, but found that he didn't have the slightest strength in his body, so he finally had to lie on the bed helplessly.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was horrified, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "The lord is not in good health, don't act rashly." ”
Chen Xu stared at Zhou Yu with his eyes, and sighed: "The people of the previous generation with outstanding military achievements, except for Zhong Da, there are only Gongjin and Bird. ”
Chen Xu clenched Zhou Yu's hands and asked, "Does Gong Jin know my mind?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded fiercely and said, "Although I am only a general, I have won the trust and respect of the lord, how can I not die for the son?" ”
Chen Xu had a smile on his face and continued to ask, "Is that all?" ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he was silent for a long time.
Chen Xu didn't say anything, just stared at Zhou Yu quietly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
After a while, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "If one day, the prince is ready to raise an army to attack Eastern Wu, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" ”
"Hahahaha!"
Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhou Yu's assurance.
Although Chen Xu's laughter still looked a little weak, it could also be seen how happy he was now.
Unifying the world and pacifying the troubled times has always been Chen Xu's wish.
However, Providence made people, and just when he was about to lead a million heroes to the south to eliminate Sun Quan, his body couldn't bear it.
But how can the obsession of unifying the world be so easily dissipated?
Although Chen Xu knew that with Great Qin's current strength, it was only a matter of time before he wanted to destroy Eastern Wu.
It's just that no one can predict the outcome of what hasn't happened yet.
Now with Zhou Yu's guarantee, Chen Xu is completely relieved, and there is no one to attack Dongwu, who is more suitable than Zhou Yu.
"Although I am a rough man, I also know that Gong Jin plays the qin very well, can you play a song for me?"
Zhou Yu nodded in agreement, and soon someone moved out a xylophone from behind the screen.
Zhou Yu looked at the two of them, only to find that they were dressed in black, without the slightest expression on their faces, and they didn't make any sound when they walked.
"Is this the shadow assassin of the lord?"
Zhou Yu quickly reined in his thoughts, and after brewing for a while, he began to play for Chen Xu.
Zhou Yu chose a very soft song, Chen Xu sounded very comfortable, and after the song was finished, Chen Xu laboriously raised his hands and began to applaud softly.
"It's a pity, I'll never hear Gong Jin's piano sound again."
After Zhou Yu left, Li Ru, who was already dying, was also helped into the house by Jiang Wei.
He didn't wait for Chen Xu to speak, so he came over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Lord, I sit here, you won't mind."
"Ahem, ahem!"
Chen Xu coughed twice, and then said angrily: "You sat down to ask me, it's too insincere." ”
"Haha!"
Li Ru laughed, his gray beard shaking, looking a little funny.
Li Ru has long been old, and he has slowly withdrawn from the court in recent years, and has basically faded out of everyone's sight.
It's just that all the civil and military generals in Guanzhong don't dare to have any contempt for this old man.
"Wenyou, you're old, and I don't know how many years you can live."
After Li Ru got older, he was not as cautious as before, and said with a smile: "At least outlive the lord." ”
Chen Xu pretended to be angry and said, "Believe it or not, I'll let people cut you right now?" ”
Li Ru stroked his beard gracefully and said, "Even if the lord cuts me off now, I will live longer than you!" ”
Chen Xu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and sighed after a long time: "Over the years, I have suffered you." ”
For Li Ru, Chen Xu always had a trace of guilt in his heart.
Tian Feng, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and others, in the process of helping Chen Xu, have all become famous people all over the world.
However, Li Ru helped Chen Xu, did a lot of things that were not easy to do with his own hands, and carried an unknown amount of infamy.
But Li Ru has always had no regrets, and he doesn't care about his reputation at all, he has cleared many obstacles for Chen Xu, and he has also been blackened by many cauldrons for Chen Xu
Li Ru said with a straight face: "If there is no lord, Confucianism is a lost dog." The lord treats me as a countryman, and I deserve to repay me with death. ”
Chen Xu felt that his nose was a little sour, and he held Li Ru's hand tightly, but he didn't say anything.
Even, he didn't even say what Tuo Gu said.
Because Chen Xu knew that Li Ru was very old, and he might not live long at all.
What Chen Xu didn't know was that on the night of his death, Li Ru sat in his mourning hall and left this world peacefully.
After being discovered, everyone saw Li Ru with a serene smile on his face.
Perhaps in Li Ru's view, being able to die with his father-in-law is the greatest happiness in the world.
