Chapter 902
These days, Liu Xi always felt a little bored, and his heart became more and more uneasy. Sure enough, after waiting in Houde Hall for a few days, he received the bad news that Liu Sikong had left. In fact, in his heart, he had already With a premonition, Mr. Sikong might not be able to survive this severe winter. He traveled around in the early years, and he never took a break when he was over sixty. To be able to carry it to this day is considered a long life.

However, this does not mean that he can easily withstand this blow. For a person like Liu Xi who loves talents like his life, every time a capable minister leaves, it seems that a piece of flesh has been dug out of his heart. But now, Liu Sikong has also left. He has always had a good impression of this gentle elder of the clan. Even if he got the Heavenly Book, he still likes this elder very much.

When the whole world is crusading against the big man and plotting against the law, there is only such a person who flies the banner of the big man. According to the records in the heavenly book, it is obvious that he is not the only one in the clan, such as Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, etc. , are also princes of one side, but there is no one like him who holds high the banner of the great man, takes it as his duty to support the great man, and struggles all his life.

This elder is very gentle on weekdays and has a good relationship with many ministers, but if he gets angry occasionally, he will show the blood of the Han family, and he can kill people in Jingzhou with full favors. For Liu Xi He has always been very caring. Even if he knew that Liu Xi wanted to take away the power in his hands, he never complained against it. After leaving the core of the temple, he often came to assist the newly appointed young ministers.

Now, this elder is gone, and his death completely represents the end of the era of Sangong, but now, it is the era of Sanling.

Regarding the admiration for this clan elder, Liu Xi went to pay homage in person. The road had long been vacated. Yes, when he arrived at Liu's residence, that silly son of Sikong's family was crying so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, so Liu Xi stepped forward to comfort him.

This silly boy has always been Mr. Liu's darling. I don't know how much he loves him. Even though he doesn't like writing, he just became a contemptible businessman. Sikong didn't blame him. Instead, he helped each other secretly. In the words, I hope that the emperor can protect his stupid son. In this life, he has no other regrets. The only thing he can't let go of is this stupid son.

Now, seeing the boy's red and swollen eyes and unstoppable tears, Liu Xi let out a long sigh. If Liu Gongquan knew about it, he would be very relieved. Although this boy is stupid, he really loves his father, unlike him. Those rebellious sons, Liu Xi squinted his eyes. He had seen many dutiful sons who pretended to be filial in front of him and cried to death.

Like Liu Chan, who cried hoarsely and couldn't open his eyes, it was the first time he saw it.

Needless to say, Liu Sikong will definitely enter the Hall of Loyalty, and no one will object to this point. Liu Sikong's ten-year strategy alone has made the big man ten times richer and stronger. , he can also occupy a front position, and Liu Xi told Liu Chan about this, which can be regarded as an explanation for him, so that he can feel a little more at ease.

The death of Liu Sikong did not cause much commotion in Luoyang. The common people had long forgotten that there was such a Sikong, and only a few officials knew about it. They came to mourn the funeral and see Liu Sikong off. It wasn't until the news about Liu Sikong's death came out from the residence that the people began to cry. They didn't know if it was true or not, but anyway, they cried.

Liu Xi ordered Sima Yi to discuss the pursuit of Liu Sikong. Just after returning to the Hall of Houde, Qi Yue rushed in again and said tremblingly: "The country is not good, Mr. Xun Ling... I fell down on the road." Hearing these words, Liu Xi seemed to have been hit on the forehead with a heavy hammer, and suddenly, his whole body felt dizzy.

Holding the wooden case in front of him tightly with both hands, breathing slowly.

After calming down for a long time, Liu Xi went out again. This time, sitting in the carriage, he seemed to have lost his hearing. He couldn't hear all the noise, all the words, and there were always chaotic roars in his ears. What? I couldn’t hear it anymore, and the carriage quickly rushed to Xun Linggong’s mansion. Fortunately, there was no white hanging here, Liu Xi thought in his heart, until he saw Xun Yu lying on the bed with a smile on his face, Liu Xi once again He heard the commotion around him.

"Your Majesty is worried about the old minister's mistakes. Please trouble Your Majesty." Xun Yu said with some embarrassment. Liu Xi forced a smile and shook his head, "Mr. Xun Ling, please don't say such words. Don't go out again, at such a moment, you are still in a hurry to go out, Xun Linggong really scared me to death, I am on the way, and I have already been awarded the title that Xun Linggong wanted to confer..."

"Hahaha, that's my misfortune. It's a pity, a pity that I almost got the title." Xun Yu said with a smile, Liu Xi's ice-like heart seemed to melt a little more, "Xun Linggong Ah, don’t do this again, the temple can’t live without you, and I can’t live without you.”

"When I heard about Sikong's death, I was in a hurry to see him. I didn't expect that there would be so much snow on the road. I almost left with Sikong." Xun Yu said, seeing Liu Xi's sad face , then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that birth, old age, sickness and death are common in life. No one can escape. After leaving these four, life is considered complete. Your Majesty don't need to worry about us old guys."

"Thank you, Duke Xun Ling."

"Your Majesty, I heard that you followed Sima Yi's advice and recruited millions of slaves from overseas, and arranged them outside Ningzhou. I tried to dissuade you, but you couldn't see Your Majesty. It's too cold outside, and the doctors wouldn't let you in." The old man is going out, Your Majesty, this is not the right thing to do, if possible, I hope His Majesty can give some instructions to the people outside the Great Wall, don’t be too harsh, it is best to arrange a gentle person to be the shepherd outside the Great Wall.”

"Your Majesty, I heard that since ancient times, as long as the emperor is not a king who does not listen to other people's words, and the ministers are not ministers who are good at covering up and refuse to give advice, a prosperous age can be expected. Now Your Majesty is open to speak out. This is a good thing. If you can, I hope Your Majesty can listen to more people's suggestions before making a decision, Your Majesty, if the old minister can't survive this cold winter," Xun Yu said calmly.

"You can let Liu Yi, the son of the clan, be the third order. He is the descendant of Prince Xiaokang, and others will not say much. In addition, he is also the person His Majesty trusts the most. It seems that the position of Zhongshu Ling cannot be ranked with the other two. But he is able to manipulate the officials in the temple, this position must be held by the most trusted person of His Majesty. Remember, remember." Xun Yu ordered a few more words, and then he looked tired.

Liu Xi didn't bother anymore, but left the mansion quietly.

When he returned to Houde Hall again, rubbing his forehead and thinking about things beyond the Great Wall, Qi Yue rushed in again.

"The country. Therefore, Zhang He, Zhang Gong, the emissary of the embroidered clothes, has passed away." Qi Yue lowered his head, looking sad.

"Um..." Liu Xi's face turned red suddenly, as if something had grabbed his throat, Qi Yue was frightened, jumped up quickly, and shouted for the imperial physician's order. When the imperial physician's order came, Liu Xi's mouth was already bleeding However, the whole person was still able to stand upright without falling down. The imperial doctor ordered the emperor to treat the emperor for a long time, and then brought the medicine. The emperor sat on the bed, stretched out his trembling hand, took the medicine, and drank it down.

"Your Majesty!!" At some point, the Empress also rushed into the Hall of Houde. The Empress seemed very worried about the Son of Heaven. She rushed over as soon as she heard the news that the imperial doctor was going to the Hall of Houde, and sat in the hall of the Emperor. Beside her, asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you? Your Majesty??" Liu Xi suddenly widened his eyes and stared at her, "How do you know that I have something to do?"

Lu Ji was taken aback by the emperor's appearance, and said blankly: "It's the maid. The maid said she saw the imperial doctor rushing towards Houde Hall." Liu Xi raised his head angrily, looked at Qi Yue, and said: "Dare to tell about important events in the palace, what's the crime?"

"The country. Slaves for capital crimes are not disciplined strictly, and I hope the country will punish them severely!" Qi Yue knelt down in front of Liu Xi in fear. Liu Xi waved his hand and said, "Get out of here!! Give me all those talkatives! Cut it off!! Let me see who dares to spread gossip again!!", Liu Xi looked a bit hideous, and Qi Yue ran out in fright.

The queen was about to speak to persuade her, but Liu Xi grabbed her hand and looked at the queen in front of her.

In Houde Palace, only Liu Xi and the queen were left. Liu Xi held the queen's hand tightly. The queen saw the unstoppable tears in Liu Xi's eyes, but Liu Xi still couldn't hold back. He was crying silently. Seeing him like this, the empress felt severe pain in her heart. She slowly hugged the emperor, and Liu Xi was in her arms, gritted her teeth, and began to cry.

On that day, the queen saw the emperor crying for the second time.

But this time, he lost the right to cry loudly. The queen didn't remember that he made the slightest sound. She only remembered that day, the back that was soaked by the tears of the emperor.

In the 20th year of Yankang, this is the third year since Zhuge Liang started various policies. Now he is not even in the temple, he is in a place, and he is conquering the people in Hebei. He has mobilized 80 people and is running outside the Great Wall. Naturally, they also complain. Fortunately, most people only have a one-month corvée period, and they take turns, which makes them complain a lot less.

Zhuge Liang is not a person who persecutes the people for the sake of political achievements. What's more, with the miserable prisoners of war on the side as a comparison, the people of the big Han people no longer complain so much. Compared with those poor barbarians, their life is hundreds of times better ,Is not it?
But even when Zhuge Liang was not in the temple, Zhuge Liang’s three-year goal was actually achieved, whether it was farming, business, government, military, or many other aspects. Indeed, in Yankang In 20 years, the temple's tax revenue has increased by more than three times compared to Yankang's 17 years. Many people who were waiting to see Zhuge Liang's jokes also shut their mouths.

"Well, he still had some luck."

Some villains said so.
