Chapter 472
The 11th year of Xiping, June
Empress Dowager Song passed away.

The Son of Heaven knelt in front of the mourning hall, his eyes were red, his head was lowered, and he said nothing. Under the great grief, he became thinner. Since his mother left, he hadn't eaten much. Regarding this, The queen was very worried, and she continued to comfort her, but no matter what she said, the emperor was still the same, and the Han family began to stay by the emperor's side all the time, for fear of accidents.

Liu Mastiff also knelt behind the Son of Heaven. He was as stubborn as the Son of Heaven. He hadn't eaten anything for four or five days. Now he was trembling and crumbling. After being defeated, in the entire icy palace, the only one who cared for and loved him was this kind grandmother.

Even grandma doesn't love him as much as grandma. Liu Mastiff is very clear about this. Grandma may blame herself in her heart. Why she doesn't look like grandpa makes her lose favor. Countless times, Grandma used to hug herself and tell herself the story of Yeye.

Many people have told the story of Yeye. In the story of my father, Yeye is a very majestic hero who can frighten the officials and beat the outside world. In the mouth of my mother, Yeye is a wise man. In the books, Yeye is the destiny of the wise king who is fierce, rewards and punishments are clear, and is upright and strong. When he was young, he met a goldfish talking by the river.

However, only in the grandmother's story, Yeye is different.

In the grandmother's story, Yeye is a very kind person. He loves the people all over the world, not only the people in the Central Plains, but also the people of Qiang, Xiongnu, and Wuhuan. Therefore, the Qiang people were able to fight bloody battles in the northwest for Yeye, and the Xiongnu Chanyu was able to fight to the death for Yeye when fighting against Xianbei!
And the people of the big Han never forgot about Yeye, they often talked about it and shed tears.

He listened to these stories and grew up slowly. He wanted to be a benevolent and righteous king like Yeye, and he wanted to love people in the world. Gradually, when he grew up, his grandmother was not sober. I can remember myself, but most of the time, I keep repeating about Yeye and my father. The loneliness of being abandoned makes Liu Mastiff even more painful.

However, every time he shed tears, his grandmother would always wake up, let him sit in her arms with difficulty, and then tell him about Emperor Xiaokang.

Today, the story is not over yet, and the grandmother is gone.

Now, he was really alone.

"Grandma. Have you seen Yeye?"

"Did you tell him about me?"

"Boom!" Liu Mastiff only felt dizzy for a while, and in a daze, he fell sideways and hit the hard step on the ground with his head. At that moment, Liu Mastiff seemed to catch a gust of wind blowing towards him, blowing I hugged him tightly, is it grandma?Thinking about it, Liu Mastiff fainted.

"Mastiff! Mastiff!!" The emperor shouted in panic while hugging Liu Mastiff.

The surrounding Huangmen dormitories were completely stunned. Before they could recover, just now, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor shook and fell to the side. At that moment, the emperor rushed out with an incredible speed. , Hugging the eldest son of the emperor quickly, so that he was not injured, this skill, even the most elite guards around, may not be able to do it!
"What are you doing in a daze! Go find the Imperial Physician Order!!"

The emperor roared.

Xiao Huangmen ran out quickly.

The emperor struggled to pick up the mastiff and walked towards the Hall of Compassion.

"Your Majesty, servants come." Han Men looked at the Son of Heaven and asked worriedly. The Son of Heaven's pale face turned red again due to the charge just now, and sweat dripped from his forehead. He hugged the Emperor with great difficulty. The eldest son rushed towards the Hall of Compassion and Peace, the emperor hadn't eaten for several days, and the Han family was afraid that the emperor would not be able to bear such fatigue.

The Son of Heaven didn't reply, and continued to run, the sun was shining brightly, in this scorching June, the huge Liu Bian, like a giant pig, shuttled between the palaces, his clothes were soaked in sweat, clinging to his body.

Putting the mastiff on the bed, the emperor was already out of breath, and the imperial doctor quickly stepped forward and began to check the pulse.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, is overworked and extremely weak..."

The Son of Heaven turned his head and looked at Hanmen. Hanmen was taken aback, and quickly said: "The country, Your Highness refused to eat for several days, just like the country, the slaves can't persuade him either."

"Why didn't you tell me!?!"

"Slaves in this country deserve to die, slaves are guilty..."

"If Mastiff misses half a point, I will let you be buried with me!!"

Seeing the fierce light in the emperor's eyes, Han Men trembled and dared not speak.

The imperial physician ordered him to heal for a while, that is, to feed him with water and food, and Liu Mastiff's complexion gradually improved.

The imperial physician ordered to report back to the emperor, His Highness is fine, and he will wake up after a short recuperation.

The Son of Heaven wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, sat beside Liu Mastiff, looked coldly at the Hanmen beside him, and said, "Next time there will be such a situation. Only you are asking!"

"Thank you."

It took a full two hours before Liu Mastiff opened his eyes. His head was still a little dizzy, and his vision was blurred. It took a long time before he could see clearly.

Turning his head and looking aside, he was surprised that the person beside him was Father!
How could it be Father?Liu Mastiff was flustered, and his head started to hurt again.

The Son of Heaven opened his eyes, looked at him, looked him up and down, frowned slowly, and said coldly, "Is it better?"

"Okay.. Some.. Thank you Father"

"Huh! Incompetent Zhuzi, look at your weak appearance, how do you look like my son?! How can I rest assured that I will hand over the Han Dynasty to you? Heh! Ineffective!" The emperor cursed a few words, and stood up abruptly , his legs hurt, and he almost fell down. Liu Mastiff was not fully awake yet, so he didn't notice this. Hearing the emperor's scolding, he just averted his gaze in desperation, not daring to look at the emperor again.

The emperor turned around and left.

Liu Mastiff was lying on the sickbed, but the tears flowed out unsatisfactorily. Without his grandmother, there was no one who loved him in this huge palace.

Sitting in the Hall of Houde, the Son of Heaven just started to eat. Han Men was at the side, and finally felt relieved. The Son of Heaven finished eating quickly, and after a moment of silence, he ordered: "In the future, don't be so lax again."

"Thank you."

"Have someone go and inform Erlang and Saburo."

"Let Jiro come back"

The emperor said, but sighed helplessly, Sanlang was too far away from Luoyang, not to mention, he couldn't leave Wa Island in a hurry, so he could only wrong him, as for Erlang, he should come soon. Alas, the two brothers haven't seen each other for many years. I don't want to, but they want to reunite under such a situation. If my mother can see Erlang come back, she will be very happy.

For the death of the Queen Mother, all the officials are also very sad. Now that there are so many state affairs, the emperor did not hold a court meeting, and no ministers to urge him, but gave the emperor time to slow down, and Shang Shuling Xing Ziang was extremely tired, day and night He didn't have a moment's rest when dealing with the affairs of various places. Fortunately, he had a lot of capable ministers under his command, and with the help of Guo Jia and others, Xing Ziang didn't die of exhaustion on the paperwork.

Otherwise, he would have gone with Emperor Xiaokang long ago.

In Liu Mo's mansion, Zhuge Liang was also a little unhappy.

"His Highness hasn't come out for four or five days, and Yuan Gong is also very worried. Although he didn't say it clearly, his temper has become a little more violent recently. Captain Hua said that he should go to the palace to look for it, but he was beaten by Yuan Gong. It's easy to fight, and now I'm still lying on the couch, unable to move."

"En" Liu Mo nodded without saying a word.

Zhuge Liang looked at the master in front of him, feeling very worried. Since the master and Yuan Gong went to Ningzhou and returned, he has been like this all the time. Zhuge Liang was surprised to find that Shijun was actually practicing swordsmanship. He made a wooden figure in the mansion, and practiced sword against the wooden figure all day long!

This made Zhuge Liang really puzzled.

"Shijun. Liang doesn't know what happened to make Shijun look like this. Shijun didn't tell me, and I won't ask, but, Shijun, Liang still wants to hear Shijun talk about Dongyan's fish and shrimp. , I still want to hear Master explain my doubts to me, I also hope that Master can be happy all day long and not worry about Master, if there is any important matter, please let me know, I am willing to bear it with Master! Teach me how to strike lightning!"

Liu Mo trembled all over, holding his hands tightly.

Zhuge Liang was about to speak, but saw a group of people standing outside the door, waiting quietly.

Zhuge Liang looked at it, and said to Liu Mo: "Don't worry, master! No matter what happens, I am here." He bowed, and then went to the gate, Liu Mo raised his head, the painful sky, whispering : "Primo Teppora."

Zhuge Liang came to the door and opened the fence.

Liu Mastiff stood outside the door, his expression at this moment was so similar to that of Liu Mo at home, a kind of deep pain was clearly portrayed on his face, revealed from his eyes, Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and quickly Greetings, said: "My condolences, Your Highness."

"Kong Ming, get up..."

Liu Mastiff helped him up, and said: "I haven't gone to school for a few days, I don't know if Kong Ming might help me a little bit. I'm afraid I will disappoint you when I take the exam later."

"Please!"

The two walked towards Yuan Shu's mansion together. Zhuge Liang was explaining to the emperor all the way. When they arrived in front of the mansion, Zhuge Liang stopped. Liu Mastiff thanked him one by one, entered the mansion, Hua Xiong ran out from the inner room, came to Liu Mastiff, looked Liu Mastiff up and down.

Looking at Liu Mastiff in front of him, Hua Xiong also had some hesitation on his face. He didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking for a long time, he finally suppressed the word "sorrow". Then, he patted Liu Mastiff's shoulder helplessly, and said: "Actually, don't be sad. You know, there was a man named Sun Tzu in ancient times. When his wife died, he beat gongs and drums and was very happy. Someone asked him, why aren't you sad at all?"

"He then said, now my first wife has lived a better life in another place, why should I be sad?"

"This man is an alchemist. He can see things we can't see. The Empress Dowager went to such a place to live a good life with Emperor Xiaokang. You don't have to be sad, you understand?"

"Understood, thank you Captain!" Liu Mastiff replied.

Seeing Hua Xiong's serious nonsense, Zhuge Liang couldn't help it, he took a breath and asked, "Captain Hua, who taught you this?"

"It's the captain, he taught me." Hua Xiong's face gradually became solemn, and he said: "At that time, our battalion was patrolling Tianshui, and we encountered enemies. Of the 12 brothers in our battalion, only [-] survived. The lieutenant told me these things, they are all in that place now, living a good life, no longer afraid of the cold, hungry, and not afraid of being deducted from the military salary, how wonderful it is.”

Zhuge Liang fell silent, nodded, and said, "Indeed, Captain Yuan is right."

Hua Xiong smiled, because he still had something important to do, he took his leave and left.

After he left, Zhuge Liang came to his senses, looked at Liu Mastiff beside him, and said, "Actually, that's not grandson, but Zhuangzi."

"I know"

The two were chatting, but Yuan Shu had already walked out of the study. Looking at Hua Xiong's back, he thought of something, sighed, looked at them, and said, "Come in!"

Sure enough, Yuan Shu still passed the exam on Liu Mastiff before he started teaching.

After he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Lieutenant Yuan has something I want to ask."

"What's the matter?"

"My master is in Ningzhou, what happened?"

At this time, Liu Mastiff also left the mansion and went to the palace.

The guard of the palace gate reported to the Han family, and the Han family went to look for the emperor. Although the emperor didn't know why Liu Mo came to him suddenly, he still asked the Han family to bring him in. The emperor paid homage to the emperor, and the emperor immediately noticed Liu Mo's abnormal expression. After Liu Mo came back, he remembered the same. However, he thought it was because Liu Mo was too tired. Now it seems that there seems to be something hidden.

"Liu Gong, this is you."

"Your Majesty, I am here to ask for orders!"

"Oh?"

"I learned that Sinong Zhizuo wants to develop the south and rule the local area. The minister is not talented, but he is willing to rule a state for His Majesty. He will definitely go all out and live up to His Majesty's expectations."

"You want to go south?"

"Which state do you want to go to?"

"Jiaozhou."

The emperor looked at him in astonishment, speechless.
