Chapter 926 The end of the era
Qi Yue felt a little terrified.

In the world, he is probably the emperor's absolute confidant. Qi Yue has followed the emperor for the longest time, and he is by his side all day long. His understanding of the emperor surpasses everyone, even the queen, because There are many things that the emperor can't tell the queen to listen to, and the only one who can handle these things for him is Qi Yue by his side.

The Son of Heaven is suspicious by nature, and his whereabouts have never been known by others. In Nuo Da's palace, apart from Qi Yue, even the Empress, I don't know where the Son of Heaven is. Maybe it's in Houde Palace, maybe it's in Qiongyuan , or left the palace, only Qi Yue is qualified to know everything, while the rest can only guess.

Qi Yue has always been proud of this. He is the most trusted person by the emperor. Therefore, a year ago, when the emperor ordered him to secretly poison and kill Shi Zhongling at a speed that could not be discovered, he did not There was a trace of doubt, and he chose to execute it immediately without asking any further questions. He knew that the emperor had always been very jealous of this servant, and Qi Yue didn't know why, but he could also feel that the servant It really doesn't look like a good stubble.

Perhaps it is because of this that the emperor wants to get rid of him. Qi Yue doesn't care about these things anyway, as long as he can better fulfill the emperor's orders, it will be fine. He dragged Sima Yi to Qiongyuan to drink tea, and Qi Yue had already prepared it for them. After going through this for a year, the emperor still sent the antidote to the servant who was about to die.

Life and death are in the hands of that servant, if he trusts the emperor and drinks the medicine, he will survive, and the emperor will not have the idea of ​​killing him again, but if he does not trust the emperor and does not drink the cup The antidote, I'm afraid there will be accidents, and many imperial physician orders around Sima Yi are also arranged by the emperor, it is absolutely impossible for Sima Yi to let them check what the potion is.

Otherwise, as long as his behavior is discovered, the emperor will be able to cut off his head, and you dare to test the potion that the emperor bestowed on you. What do you want to do?Do you suspect that the emperor wants to murder you?

The Son of Heaven has completely entrusted his life and death to the order of the servants. No matter what the outcome is, the Son of Heaven will not feel the slightest bit of guilt in his heart. This method is so clever that Qi Yue shudders when he sees it.After explaining these things, the emperor waved his hand and let Qi Yue leave. Sitting alone in Houde Hall, Liu Xi sighed. He still couldn't catch anything from the river like his father and grandfather did.

Prince Liu Qu is not a qualified emperor, but he still has one advantage. At least he can trust those famous sages in the heavenly scriptures. Even if he leaves, he still trusts Zhuge Liang and will not dismiss him. Xi is not afraid of Zhuge Liang, but Liu Xi is afraid of the Zhuge family, so he has to arrange people to compete with the Zhuge family.

The most suitable candidates are Zhong Changtong, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, and Fazheng. Regardless of Zhong Changtong's wild ideas, just because he wants to revitalize business, he is not the same as Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang He advocates agriculture and internal affairs. After he took office, it is more reflected in the fields of people's livelihood and farming. He has no interest in business and trade.

Especially the demise of Guishuang this time made him feel the importance of governance, that is to say, his long-term eyes will be on the people's livelihood and the administration of officials. For Zhong Changtong's thoughts, or his emphasis on business Doctrine, Pang Tong's tyranny, and Zhou Yu's overseas ideas will not be touched too much. In this way, there will be a natural contradiction between the two parties.

The other person needs to grasp the balance between them, so as not to let one side be too powerful, and this person is always Liu Yi. As the clan, Liu Yi has three orders. As long as he does not favor one side, these three forces can check and balance each other , there will be no turmoil, what's more, through the restructuring, all military power is already in the hands of the emperor, which is enough to ensure Hu'er's safety.

Liu Xi thought about these things seriously, and simply took out his pen and ink again, and began to write seriously. He wrote a lot of names, including a lot of personnel arrangements, and even some deployments. He wrote until night, suddenly , There was a sharp pain in his heart, Liu Xi covered his heart in pain, some blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and fell on the white paper in front of him, making the paper a little scarlet.

Liu Xi was trembling in pain, with sweat dripping from his forehead, he took a deep breath, looked at the paper in front of him, and clenched his teeth tightly.

It's not yet time. I can't leave yet, I still have a lot of things to arrange.
Liu Xi recited it silently in his heart over and over again, until the severe pain gradually dissipated, he fell powerlessly to the ground, and then struggled to get up from the ground.

At this moment, in Sima Mansion, Sima Yi is also in pain, lying on the bed weakly, he can feel the pain like needle pricks all over his body, and most importantly, it has become very difficult to breathe, he gulped Breathing, accompanied by the breath, there were bursts of strange sounds in his throat. Sima Yi's forehead was hot, and he looked at the potion on the side several times.

The children of the family have already gone to Yangzhou to hire a doctor for him. I heard that there is a famous doctor in Yangzhou who can bring the dead back to life. Sima Yi may also know this, but he still has a little hope in his heart.

Maybe he could really heal himself?
Occasionally, Sima Yi would close his eyes and ask himself, is he afraid of death?
Obviously, I am afraid of death, and I don't want to leave this world in a hurry. I once had great ambitions in my heart, and I also wanted to become a three-ling, lead a hundred officials, create a brilliant and prosperous world, and go to Yanzhou to become a A turning point in his life, he realized for the first time that he did not have such qualifications at all, not because he was not capable enough, but because he could not be trusted.

Sima Yi had countless doubts in his heart. He didn't understand why he couldn't gain the trust of the emperor?Like Mr. Zhuge, he is a good friend of the emperor when he was young, and he has never had any unruly thoughts over the years. When he was young, his heart was full of arrogance. Countless classics, even miscellaneous books in the library, he never lost a single one. When he was a teenager, he had read more books than his father.

Therefore, he looked down on anyone, and he didn't have any idea of ​​making meritorious deeds in his heart. He felt a little overwhelmed by the heights, until one day, he met Mr. Zhuge Village, who was just like him, good at reading and extremely intelligent. When Zifu Mansion was listening to the lecture, the two began to compete, and the young Sima Yi realized for the first time that there are people like him in this world.

Of course, I met more later, and even surpassed myself, such as Xun Linggong and others, both in terms of experience and experience, are far beyond him, but, among the same age, only Only Zhuge Liang can be compared with him, he thinks so, so, when he was young, he had the first idea in his heart, which was also an ambition.

He wants to surpass this guy in front of him, he wants to stand on top of him, and let him see who is the most talented man in the world!

He has always thought this way, no matter what means, as long as he can stand on top of Zhuge Villager, it is enough. However, it was not until he went to Yanzhou that he realized that things were different. There was no way for him to surpass Zhuge Liang. Because Zhuge Liang had something he never had, the emperor's favor, and he also tried every means to gain the emperor's trust.

But in the end, what he got in exchange was only the emperor's growing fear, which he was very clear in his heart.

He was very puzzled and confused, but he still gave up the ambition in his heart, and had second thoughts, to live.

He no longer argues with Zhuge Liang, and is extremely respectful when they meet him. He works seriously and doesn't get involved in other things. At this time, he fell ill, maybe it was a recurrence of the serious illness when he was young, but this time, he was very sick.

Sima Yi's eyes once again set on the bottle of medicine in the distance.

This is the medicine sent by the emperor. The emperor said that it can cure all diseases. It is an absolute magic medicine. Sima Yi has never seen the emperor's sincere appearance, but the more the emperor is like this, the more flustered Sima Yi is. Why are you so eager to get me to drink it?Could it be that this is poison?The emperor has always been so afraid of me. When I was seriously ill, did he finally plan to get rid of me?

Thinking so, Sima Yi stretched out his hand towards the medicine bottle again and again, but put it down again and again.

If he drank the medicine and died, no one would dare to say that the emperor poisoned the ministers. If someone dared to say that, Yuan Shang would have a good discussion with him. If he drank the medicine and healed, should he gamble? ?With the embarrassment of the emperor towards himself, would the emperor give himself a magic medicine to heal himself?Is he willing to let himself survive?
Sima Yi looked at the bottle of potion in the distance, his eyes were full of bewilderment, suddenly, he felt a sharp pain all over his body, his mouth grew wide, and he took a deep breath, he couldn't stand the pain anymore, he He stretched out his hand towards the medicine bottle with difficulty, but his whole body twitched, but his hand could no longer touch the medicine.

"Ahem!", a strange sound came out of his throat, and finally the servants of the family were alarmed. A servant ran into the room, looked at Sima Yi who was struggling in pain in horror, and hurriedly called everyone. Several disciples of Sima's family exclaimed, They stepped forward one after another, and Sima Yi stared at them with wide eyes, and shouted, "Yaoyao!", and everyone realized it.

When Sima Jin picked up the medicine bottle, unsealed it, poured the medicine into a bowl, and held it in front of Sima Yi, Sima Yi just stared at him dully, motionless, his hands still in that twisted posture, The whole person seemed to be frozen, with their eyes fixed on the medicine in Sima Jin's hand, everyone immediately held their breath, and tears appeared in their eyes.

When Sima Min tremblingly put his hand in front of Sima Yi's nose, he finally couldn't help crying.

"Brother!!"

The 25th year of Yankang, January

In Wen County, Hanoi, Huanglong came out of the well.

Sima Yi, the servant commander, passed away.

The era of twins has officially come to an end.
