Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 925
It was just a temporary trip to Luo County. Liu Xi did not expect that so many things had happened. However, there was no time to think about it. The first thing he wanted to do was to go to the harem and apologize to the queen in person. On that day, he left Luo County. When he was in the county, he didn't inform the queen in advance, which made the queen very angry. Qi Yue didn't say it clearly, but the emperor could see that after he left, Qi Yue was scolded badly by the queen.

Therefore, when the emperor smiled and walked into the harem, there was only Qu Ji, who shouted at Father, and rushed into his arms. Picking him up, the little guy was in the arms of the emperor, and said in a childlike voice: "I'm sick, they forced me to drink very bitter medicine, but I didn't cry! I didn't cry even once!"

"Hahaha, okay, my Quji is a real boy, how can you cry, okay!", Liu Xi smiled and kissed him, listening to him talk about various things during this period, he couldn't help feeling very excited. Laughed, as for the Queen, she was sitting not far away, without looking at Liu Xi, turning her head away, Liu Xi hugged Qu Ji, walked slowly to her side, and sat down.

"Qu Ji, why isn't your mother talking anymore?"

Qu Ji lowered his voice, and said secretly: "Mother is very angry, she said that Father, you made her worry, and said that she will ignore Father for three days."

"Qu Ji!", the queen yelled angrily, and Qu Ji quickly shrank into Liu Xi's arms, not daring to speak any more. Liu Xi laughed loudly, moved closer, and said with a smile: "Lv Ji, don't be angry, I was too anxious at the time, I didn't have time to tell you, so it passed, I will never do this again, so don't be angry."

"Humph!"

The queen is not young anymore, and there are some wrinkles on her forehead, but she is still like the little girl back then. She snorted coldly in displeasure. Liu Xi hugged Quji with his left hand, stretched out his right hand, and hugged the queen again. In the arms, in the arms of the emperor, the queen's eyes were also a little red, and she said displeasedly: "Why are you doing this? Am I going to stop you from letting you go?"

"No matter where you go in the future, you must tell me in advance, and you are not allowed to leave without saying goodbye, do you understand?"

"Got it!", Liu Xi grinned, holding his own world in his arms, his face was filled with happiness.

After just resting for a day, a minister came to Houde Hall. Liu Xi got up early, looked at the queen who had not woken up, and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to Houde Hall of Virtue!" Then he got up and left the harem, changed his clothes, came to Houde Hall, and saw Zhuge Liang who had been waiting for him, Liu Xi walked forward with a smile, holding Zhuge Liang's hand.

"Kong Ming! You are here! Long time no see, look at you, you are so dark, I think my aunt will scold me", Liu Xi said, the two sat down again, Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, The minister has been here for a long time, and I don't know where your majesty went, and Mrs. Qi is unwilling to tell." The two sat down like this, and they started chatting, they had too much to talk about.

From the Battle of Guishuang to the current situation in the temple, Liu Xi even talked about what he saw and heard among the people. The two chatted like this for two or three hours, and then went to eat together. Returning to the Hall of Houde again, the two began to chat about serious matters. Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Your Majesty, the effectiveness of the law can be seen in general. Your Majesty has been away for a few months, but everything in the temple can still operate normally. "

"This just shows that today's laws and systems are the most suitable for today's world. I still want to thank Guo Linggong and Xun Linggong. However, Guishuang is now at the beginning of peace, and there are still many things to deal with. Guishuang It is different from the great Han, how to treat those nobles is a big problem, the minister originally wanted to abolish their original social hierarchy, but it was too difficult."

"Your Majesty, I don't know, even the lowest-ranked untouchables are unwilling to abolish this regulation, and even begged bitterly, saying that these are what they should suffer, and what kind of god's will this is..." Zhuge Liang shook his head, My heart is full of resentment.

Liu Xi laughed, shook his head, and said, "It seems that Zhong Changtong is most suitable to go to Guishuang to rule for a while."

Zhuge Liang was taken aback, shook his head hastily, and said: "No, Your Majesty, if Zhong Changtong goes to Guishuang, I'm afraid he will be able to plunge Guishuang into turmoil again in a few days, everywhere Rebellion, for Guishuang, you can't use such strong medicine as Zhong Changtong, you still have to deal with it slowly. I have discussed with Zhongda for a long time in the past few days, and only then did I come up with a good solution."

"Haven't Zhong Changtong and Pang Jun been suggesting that the people should not be confined to one place? We will implement their plan in Guishuang. First of all, we will allow the people of Guishuang to move around. It is best that they They can also come to the Central Plains to take a look, I think, if they can see the situation here, those deeply ingrained things in their minds can be shaken."

"In addition, it is immigration. From Xizhou and other places, emigrate, move some prisoners to Guishuang, establish many new counties in Guishuang, and implement bills to abolish the caste system in these counties, and proceed little by little. Conquer, I feel that sooner or later the people of Guishuang will accept these views, and the other is education and enlightenment. Prime Minister Xun governed in Wa Island. Before he passed away, he left a document for me."

Liu Xi nodded. He still handed over the book to Zhuge Liang himself.

Zhuge Liang said with emotion: "Xun Xiang seems to have known for a long time that I will meet such a day. His books are all about the enlightenment of barbarian lands. After reading Xun Xiang's books, I am deeply touched, so , I hope that His Majesty can entrust me with the matter of enlightening Guishuang, and I can give those young people some suggestions, which can not only train them, but also solve Guishuang's affairs."

Liu Xi nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhuge Liang said again: "I think the most urgent task is to set up an official school in Guishuang, starting from the next generation. This is what Xun Xiang said, as long as the next generation of Guishuang people can grow up reading the documents of the Great Han, Accept my sage's way, and the old customs of Guishuang will leave with the death of these people."

Zhuge Liang then talked about his many policies, most of which were for Guishuang, not only in terms of civilization, but also in agriculture. The land in Guishuang is really suitable for development. The food here is so ripe. Being able to promote advanced agricultural technology, it can be said that the future big man, at least in terms of food, does not need to worry too much.

However, the household registration of the Dahan is still too small to support large-scale immigration. It may take a hundred years to turn these areas around the Dahan into real Han soil, but it is all worth it. The future of the big man will definitely become stronger and stronger. Zhuge Liang said this, and Liu Xi was overjoyed. He also agreed with Zhuge Liang's long-term approach.

After talking about Guishuang, Zhuge Liang talked about domestic affairs again.

"The demise of Guishuang has made my ministers see through a lot," Zhuge Liang said. The same is true for Liu Xi. He is also afraid that among his descendants, there will be a fool like Wei Suti. With one's own strength, an empire can be destroyed. The Han royal family does not know whether such a talent will appear.

Chatting until late at night, the two of them just felt that they still had a lot to say.

Liu Xi asked suddenly: "By the way, where is Zhongda? Why didn't he come together?"

Zhuge Liang frowned, and said: "Zhongda, he is very ill, and I don't know why. The imperial doctor ordered that it may be a relapse of an old disease. I went to see him before, and I don't know why he died. What's the matter... I forgot to talk about him just now, if possible, His Majesty must go and see him." Liu Xi nodded.

After seeing off Zhuge Liang, Liu Xi was still sitting in Houde Hall, meditating, but no one knew what he was thinking.

The next day, Liu Xi hurriedly asked someone to drive, and left the palace again. However, this time, he had informed the queen in advance that he was going to visit Shi Zhongling this time. It is said that Shi Zhongling was seriously ill and he had to I want to go to Sima Yi's mansion and visit him.

When the carriage arrived at Sima's mansion, the yellow gate had already informed in advance, so the gate was opened, and the servants of Sima's family stood on both sides, waiting respectfully for the emperor to arrive. Liu Xi got out of the carriage and led a group of followers, After entering the mansion, everyone saluted, Liu Xi asked them to get up, it was not the first time for him to come here, he walked all the way towards the inner room without others leading the way.

When he entered the house, he could smell the bad smell in the air.

Liu Xi frowned, and looked at the bed. Sima Yi was lying on the bed, covering his body, but from his face, he could feel his weakness. There was not much flesh on his face, and his cheeks were sunken. Seeing the Son of Heaven coming in, Sima Yi weakly opened his eyes and struggled to get up, but Liu Xi hurriedly supported him and let him continue to lie down.

"Zhongda, alas, why are you so sick?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because of the wind and cold. I'd like to ask Your Majesty to take a look in person." Sima Yi said weakly, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked as if he was about to leave at any time. The emperor repelled everyone, and the two chatted in the inner room After getting up and chatting for a long time, Liu Xi finally called Huangmen and put a small bottle of potion beside Sima Yi.

The emperor frowned, looking a little sad, he stared into Sima Yi's eyes, and said very sincerely: "Zhongda, this is the magic medicine that Xizhou gave me as a tribute. It is said that it can cure all diseases, especially for people like you. , is extremely effective, Zhongda, you and I have been friends for decades, this bottle of Zhen is here to stay, you must take it, don't forget."

"I can't afford such a precious medicine."

"No, you can afford it. I met you when I was a teenager. After so many years, you and Kong Ming are my close relatives. I can't just ignore you when you are seriously ill. I still have to Don’t forget to take this potion!”

After Liu Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left the place, sending the emperor away. Sima Yi lay powerlessly on the sickbed. For almost a year, he felt weaker and weaker, and finally fell ill. Maybe he was too tired in Houde Hall?Sima Yi thought about it, and then looked at the bottle of medicine. Why did the emperor leave this medicine?Why is he so anxious to make me drink it?
Could it be
Sima Yi's eyes were shining brightly.

And when Liu Xi returned to Houde Hall, he began to deal with the performances from various places. Qi Yue stood aside, serving him. After working hard for a while, Liu Xi became a little tired again. He stretched his body and frowned. , seemed to have something on his mind, Qi Yue said with a smile: "Is the country still worried about Shi Zhongling?"

"Yes. I am very worried about him."

"There is no need for the country to worry. In the past two years, the tea he drank in the palace was full of chronic poison. He has been deeply poisoned, and there is no antidote. He is bound to die."

"I left the antidote to him in the past today."

"Ah?? Why is the country doing this?? If he drank the antidote, wouldn't his previous actions be in vain?"

Liu Xi opened his eyes in some pain, "He is my good friend. He has been with me for decades. I can't watch him go. I left him the antidote. Whether he can survive is entirely up to him. Let's see if he will drink the bottle of antidote I left behind. Oh, I have exhausted my benevolence."

"National Mercy!"
