Chapter 634 My Mastiff
Under the mulberry tree, the little guy threw himself into the arms of the old man, and crisp laughter resounded around.

Liu Xi knelt in front of his parents' coffins, lowered his head, cried and cried, and the tears ran dry. He had been sitting here for a long time. In this cold winter, his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. The coldness pierced his heart. In one day, which was also the happiest day for him, his world collapsed. It was not only his father who left him, but also his mother.

The pain was mixed with loneliness, and the biting cold made him shiver. In this cold night, he didn't dare to leave here, shivering all over, but still didn't dare to accept this fact.

"Mom. You said that Father would be afraid on the road alone. Don't tell me I'm not afraid when I'm alone?"

"I'm scared too. In this world, I'm the only one left." Liu Xi trembled, tears fell down again, everything in front of him was a little blurry, he couldn't see clearly the affairs in front of him , his eyes were swollen badly, his chest was even more stuffy, and he couldn't breathe. It wasn't until a person sat beside him and put a robe on him that the coldness on his body subsided a little.

Liu Xi turned his head, and Lu Ji was sitting beside him, with tears in her eyes, carefully arranging Liu Xi's robe, Liu Xi looked at her, his eyes were red, "Lu Ji, I don't have any parents anymore", Lu Ji Ji didn't speak, and held his hand tightly, rubbing the cold hand lightly, "Husband, you still have me, you still have aunt, and younger siblings, you are not alone."

"No matter what, I will never leave my husband."

Liu Mastiff listened, threw herself into her arms, and started to cry bitterly. Lu Ji patted his back lightly, and said, "Husband, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here for everything." , Liu Mastiff cried for a long time, then he broke free from Lu Ji's arms, stood up, wiped away the tears on his face, his voice was hoarse, he calmed down, and asked: "How is the situation outside? "

"Hearing the news of the death of the emperor and the death of the empress, all the ministers were crying loudly. Zongzheng has already arrived to prepare for the funeral. The people of Luoyang probably know about it. There is a lot of crying in Luoyang, and they are all mourning the parents of the big man. , other things, I don’t know either.” As Lu Ji said, Liu Mastiff took another deep breath to wake himself up, and he said, “Lu Ji, you should go back to the palace now and take care of Changling. He Erlang, especially Changling, don't let her cry... and don't let her know."

"That husband you."

"I still have something important to do, you go to the palace now." Liu Xi ordered, Lu Ji nodded, and hurriedly led the maids outside the door to leave here. Liu Xi walked to the altar of his parents and knelt down towards them Big obeisance, then got up and walked towards the door, when he walked out, all the servants, the yellow gate, and the maids were crying, and the original wedding venue became a place of mourning.

He could vaguely see Sangong standing in front of the door and discussing. He didn't know what they were talking about. When they saw Liu Xi coming, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Quan hurriedly saluted and said, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty! I also wish Your Majesty my condolences." !!", Liu Xi's face was only sad, and he was not touched by their titles. He looked at the three people in front of him and said solemnly: "The funeral of Emperor Daxing has to trouble the three elders. "

"Don't dare!"

"Your Majesty, the ascension to the throne should be done as usual, with Da Honghe in charge?" Cao Cao asked, Liu Xi glanced at him, and said, "Emperor Daxing's funeral is not over yet, so I'm not in a hurry to do it. Elders don’t need to speak too much.” Hearing Liu Xi’s words, the three princes were a little surprised. After Yuan Shu’s death, the crown prince had been in a state of depression for a long time. In those days, they thought that the prince would not recover for a long time.

Unexpectedly, not only did the prince slow down, but he was also extremely sober.

As the Son of Heaven, when discussing important matters with Sangong for the first time, he did not let Sangong handle it himself, but expressed his own power and status to Sangong with his own words of conclusion. , Cao Cao was a little admired, Liu Xi led the three princes, went out, and saw all the officials who were crying, including the crown prince's officials.

Liu Xi looked at the crowd, and said: "All the gentlemen who can spontaneously see off the Emperor Daxing, I will thank you on behalf of my father. All the gentlemen are my father's confidantes and ministers, and they are the pillars of the great man. Xi is young and doesn't know big things. I also hope that all the gentlemen will be able to deal with state affairs diligently as elders, and I will treat them as elders!", Liu Xi said, and bowed to the crowd, all the officials were stunned, and quickly said they dare not, and returned the salute again.

"During Emperor Daxing's lifetime, he loved the people very much and was diligent and thrifty. I didn't want my father to be ashamed, so I ordered that according to the instruction of filial piety, the people of the world should mourn for three days. They must not slaughter livestock as sacrifices, must not delay farming, and must not kill themselves. Officials in the world should not delay state affairs because of mourning for the Son of Heaven. The Emperor Daxing has spent his entire life serving the country and the people, and the officials are dedicated to serving the people. This is the best way to see off my father.”

"With my father's order, I will take out all the money in the royal private treasury and give it to the Jimin Mansion to help the people of the world. Release the official slaves, official prostitutes, and official craftsmen."

"Thank you!!!"

Everyone shouted, Liu Xi looked at the people below, said nothing, turned around and returned to the spiritual seat, and continued to guard.

Liu Xi's order quickly spread to the ears of officials everywhere. Both the common people and the officials were mourning for the Emperor Dahan Daxing, and they were also feeling sorry for the benevolence and righteousness of today's emperor. According to the order, in the Sili area, money and food were distributed to the poor people. As the last relic of Emperor Daxing, they were distributed to these people. The people were crying to receive these.

They cried for the loss of a benevolent and righteous emperor. After Liu Ba's action, all the officials and celebrities in the world seemed to have found an opportunity to express their loyalty to the emperor. They followed suit one after another and sent food and money to the relief government. , and put on the most thrifty clothes, saying that he had donated all his property and had no money left. At the same time, he also released a large number of slaves, gave them money, and made them free.

Liu Xi was kneeling in front of the coffin, but he heard the noise coming from outside the door. With a cry, he saw his aunt, who burst into the hall with tears and fell to the ground, calling for his brother, Liu Xi hurriedly got up , walked to her side, helped her up, Zhuge Liang also rushed in, supported her with one hand, Princess Raoyang was a little numb from crying, and with Liu Xi's support, she walked to her brother's room. around.

Looking at the familiar elder brother, lying peacefully on the couch with a smile on his face, and sister-in-law lying on the side, as gentle as ever.

At that moment, her heart was about to break. To her, the Son of Heaven was not just an elder brother. Since her father left early, her elder brother was just like her father. He raised her and spoiled her the most in the whole world. , the one who loves her the most is the person lying in front of her. He has been protecting her all his life, just like a real father. Clothes to deceive yourself.

But now, this elder brother who had spoiled her all her life left in such a hurry.

"Brother!!" She lay on the emperor's chest, weeping uncontrollably. Seeing her like this, Zhuge Liang who was not far away lowered his head and let out a long sigh. He looked at Liu Xi who was beside him, and said, "My Majesty's condolences." Liu Xi nodded, and Zhuge Liang said again: "Only Your Majesty can persuade her." Liu Xi nodded, walked up, walked up to Auntie, and called out, "Auntie."

Rao Yang turned his head and looked at his nephew beside him. She cried bitterly, "My poor mastiff!!", stretched out her hands, hugged Liu Xi tightly, and buried her head on Liu Xi's shoulder , she started to cry, Liu Xi said: "Auntie, mourning, there is still my nephew, and Zhan'er", Liu Xi persuaded, and after talking for a long time, Rao Yang couldn't stop crying, and after a long time, Rao Yang just stopped crying, but he still sobbed from time to time.

"Uncle, take Auntie back and have a good rest. After a while, I'll go visit Auntie again." Liu Xi said, Zhuge Liang nodded, supported Rao Yang, and left here.

Liu Xi let out a long sigh, raised his head, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the palace.

Before he entered the Hall of Compassion and Ning, he heard crying from inside. Liu Xi paused for a moment before entering the hall. In the main hall, Lu Ji held Changling in one hand, and While comforting Erlang, she kept talking, but the two of them didn't listen, crying, Lu Ji couldn't control them, and she was also in tears, flustered, Liu Xi came in, said with a smile: " Crying at such a big age? Shameless!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Changling and Erlang stopped crying just now, raised their heads, and looked at Liu Xi. The moment they saw Liu Xi, they all broke free from Lu Ji's hands and rushed towards Liu Xi. Liu Xi picked up the two of them, feeling a bit strenuous, he looked at Lu Ji in front of him, and said softly: "You are also tired, go and take a rest, take a short rest, I have something important to tell you tomorrow. And you!"

Hearing what Liu Xi said, Lu Ji nodded, wiped away her tears, and left here.

Liu Xi hugged them, sat on the bed, and said helplessly, "Changling, what's the matter? Why are you crying?"

"I can't find my father and mother, do you know where they are?" Changling cried, and Liu Xi said with a smile: "Of course I know, they are going to play in the sky, don't cry, They will be back soon, you are so old, how can you cry??" He looked at Liu Di at the side, and said helplessly: "You are too, my sister is still young, so it's okay to cry, Why are you crying, are you still my big man?"

"I am!"

"Then don't cry and sleep peacefully. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to play."

"Brother, I can't sleep, I can't sleep if my mother doesn't come to tell me stories!!" Chang Ling's eyes were full of tears.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story, come on, you all have to sleep peacefully." Liu Mastiff hugged the two of them in his arms, and sat on the bed by himself. Changling was fine, but Erlang couldn't sleep anymore. He could only put Erlang on the bed, gently stroked his back with one hand, and then began to tell stories.

"A long time ago. There was a man from the state of Song. This man from the state of Song was a farmer. One day, he was tired of farming in his own field, so he rested in front of a tree stump. As a result, a rabbit He rushed over, bumped his head against a tree stump, and died!" Liu Mastiff smiled, and began to tell the story, Changling and Erlang both had a row all night, and they were lying down very quietly at the moment, Liu Xi told the story , but the tears are dripping bit by bit.

With a smile on his face, he continued to talk, raising his head so that the tears would not fall on Chang Ling's face.

"Then, he decided to stay here and guard the rabbit, let the rabbit bump into it by itself, so that he can eat the rabbit every day",

"Brother?"

"What's the matter?"

"Why is that rabbit so stupid?"

"Because it doesn't like to sleep."

"Then I'm going to bed, brother, will Father and Mother come back tomorrow?"

"Um"

"Sleep well and you'll be back."

Liu Xi grinned, but burst into tears.
