Chapter 943
In the 27th year of Yankang, the emperor Liu Xi died.

Prince Liu Qu did not hide the news, and sent someone to inform Sanling and Zongzheng. Soon, the news of the emperor's death spread. Hu'er's eyes were red, and he knelt in front of the emperor's throne. It took only two years. During that time, he lost his parents. The departure of his father made him truly realize that he had become an orphan, and he would never have the opportunity to enjoy the love of his parents, and he would no longer be qualified to raise his parents. The blows are huge.

Ah Shi kept crying, and Wang Yuanji hugged the little guy, not letting him bother Prince Liu Qu, or rather, Emperor Liu Qu.

Liu Xi lay peacefully on the bed. He had been tired for too long and had a rare break. He would cherish it. Quji rushed into the palace, hugged his dead father, and fainted from crying. This made Hu'er Extremely nervous, he hurriedly sent someone to take Quji to rest, and arranged for the imperial physician to order Haosheng to take care of his younger brother. Hu'er couldn't go away. After his father left, he had countless things to be busy with, no matter how tired or hurt he was. Sadly, he has no way to refuse.

Inside Zhuge Mansion.

"What did you say... what did you say?" Zhuge Liang looked blankly at the little yellow gate running from the palace, trembling all over his body. Splashing everywhere, Huangmen wept and cried: "The country has collapsed!!" Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, stood up slowly, dropped the pen in his hand, remained silent for a long time, his eyes gradually turned red, He didn't know what to say, his mind was blank, and there was a burst of pain in his heart, and he was at a loss.

He didn't like this feeling. When Shijun passed away, he had such a time, he couldn't sit still, he couldn't find his place in the world, and his hands kept moving, as if he couldn't find a place to fall. , many memories of the past flashed in his mind, accompanied by depression and dullness, Zhuge Liang raised his head, but the tears could no longer be suppressed, and finally slipped across his face, "Your Majesty." Zhuge Liang covered his face, Wept bitterly.

"Bang", Zhuge Liang hurriedly looked and saw Princess Raoyang standing at the door. The plate she was holding in her hand also fell on the ground and broke into countless pieces. Looking at the crying Huangmen, "Mastiff." She said, and she immediately fell backwards. Fortunately, even though the maidservant behind her hugged her, she didn't fall down. Zhuge Liang yelled anxiously Got up, hurriedly carried Princess Raoyang back to the house.

Princess Raoyang was lying on the bed and was fed some hot water. Then she slowly opened her eyes and saw Zhuge Liang whose face was full of tears. "My mastiff!" Princess Raoyang cried out Said, Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, just stepped forward and hugged his wife tightly.

And such things happen frequently in various regions. In the Pang Mansion, Pang Tong rubbed his eyes and walked to the door of the mansion with some displeasure. He was still wearing obscene clothes. The emperor gave him a day off. He said that he was busy every day and had a rare holiday, so he slept in the mansion all day long. Unexpectedly, he was sleeping soundly, but he heard someone beating his mansion frantically. For his own sake, therefore, he needs to open the door himself.

"Come here! Come! What's the hurry?! Your Majesty only gave me a one-day holiday yesterday!!" Pang Tong said displeasedly, walked to the door cursingly, yawned, opened the door, and Outside the door, there were several yellow doors standing. Pang Tong looked at them helplessly, bared his teeth, and shouted: "Today I am on vacation! Your Majesty personally agreed!"

"Duke Pangling is dead!", the Huangmen raised his head and cried.

The helplessness on Pang Tong's face gradually solidified, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "What did you say?"

"The country is broken!"

Pang Tong didn't say anything, he pushed open the yellow gate in front of him, and ran towards the palace. He was wearing obscene clothes, not even shoes, and ran with bare feet. Chasing after him, these five short and ugly Linggongs are running like a gust of wind at this moment. The Huangmen follow behind him, but they can't catch up with him. They are also worried in their hearts. They clearly see that Pang Linggong While running, he accidentally fell heavily on the ground, but he jumped up nimbly and continued to run wildly as if nothing had happened.

Inside Zhongshu Ling's mansion, Liu Yi was hugging his two sons, listening to them accusing each other with a smile. As soon as he went out, he saw the two little guys fighting, and the fighting was fierce. Liu Yi grabbed them and asked them Why did they fight? The two little guys told my father in a childlike voice that when they fought because of who was better looking, Liu Yi couldn't help laughing out loud. You are twins, you look exactly the same, and you can say Who is good looking and who is not good looking?

He grabbed the two boys and patiently told them that as brothers, the most important thing is to help each other, and one should not quarrel over trivial matters. While chatting, a servant hurriedly led the yellow gate into the room Inside the mansion, "Linggong!! The country is ruined!", the servant said, Liu Yi's face turned red instantly, his whole body trembled, his eyes widened, and he looked at the yellow gate in front of him, "Pfft~~", He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

The two little guys cried loudly, and everyone shouted and talked in a hurry.

Such a situation happened in the entire Han Dynasty. Liu Xi's prestige was too high. When the news of him was heard, the officials cried bitterly, and when it spread to the people, the common people were even more so. Liu Xi is a well-deserved Holy Son of Heaven. In these years, the people have always remembered everything he has done for the people, and never dared to forget. His prestige has infinitely approached that of the former Emperor Xiaokang, and he has won the respect of everyone. The news of his death, The harm to these people is enormous.

Hu'er waited in the palace for a long time, and Pang Tong was the first to arrive. Pang Tong was not neatly dressed, but Qi Yue found clothes for him. Hu'er saw a cut on his forehead and was still bleeding. Pang Tong came to the throne of the emperor, the blood made his appearance even uglier and more ferocious, Pang Tong knelt beside Hu'er, and cried for a long time, Hu'er couldn't bear it, so Qi Yue sent an imperial physician's order to help him Let him bind up the wound.

After waiting for a long time, Zhuge Liang came in a hurry. When he came, his eyes were red, obviously he had just cried. When he walked to the throne of the emperor, he also knelt down in front of Liu Xi, facing Liu Xi. After praying several times, he slowly got up, looked at the crying Pang Tong, and the bewildered prince, and walked to the prince's side, Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and grabbed him, "His Royal Highness, please come now Go to Zhongshu Lingfu"

"Why?!"

"Liu Linggong heard the bad news and couldn't take it anymore. He is still in the first aid. The doctor said that he is very dangerous and I don't know if he will survive."

"Uncle?!", Hu'er's eyes widened, he glanced at Liu Xi, gritted his teeth, hurried out, and shouted: "Find me some orders from the imperial physician, I'm going to my uncle's house!", Qi Yue hurriedly prepared for him again, and Hu'er led the people away from the palace. Zhuge Liang walked up to Pang Tong and said, "Shi Yuan, stand up." Zhuge Liang slowly helped Pang Tong who was sitting on the ground, Pang Tong shed tears and remained silent.

"Shiyuan, the most important thing now is to discuss your Majesty's posthumous title and then arrange the crown prince's enthronement. The crown prince's enthronement is extremely important, and the seats must be arranged earlier. In addition, the memorials from various places, I’m going to trouble Mr. Pang Ling. If you’re not here today, you can’t delay state affairs, Guishuang.” Just as Zhuge Liang was talking, Pang Tong sighed, raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang with red eyes, and nodded, “ I see."

When all the officials heard the news and came to pay their respects, it was also Zhuge Liang who stepped forward and led everyone to see the emperor off one by one, and arranged for the officials to take care of the emperor's funeral. Zhuge Liang had been busy all day without eating. When Hu'er came back, Zhuge Liang was still busy. Seeing Hu'er coming back, Zhuge Liang hurried forward and asked, "How is Mr. Liu Ling?" Hu'er shook his head and said, "I still haven't woken up. He is still being treated, they said that my uncle's symptoms are the same as my father's."

"Alas", Zhuge Liang sighed, and said: "Your Highness, I just asked Zongzheng and the servant of the Lifu about the enthronement. April [-]th is the best day. Your Highness still needs to make preparations early." Hu'er shook He shook his head and said, "Mr. Ling, I really don't have the energy to think about enthronement. Can these matters be delayed for a while?"

Zhuge Liang pulled Hu'er, walked aside, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is not acceptable. We are all the same, and we love the Son of Heaven very much. However, Your Majesty has always been most worried about this big man. He must ascend the throne as soon as possible." , appease the temple, the policy of the canal, and the policy of officials and schools. These two major policies cannot be interrupted. Your Majesty has devoted all his efforts to this. Does Your Highness have the heart to watch these decrees be interrupted? As a son of man, filial piety does not have to be kneeling there Crying, but to continue his career for my father, Your Highness, the continuation of His Majesty's life is the lord of my great man"

Liu Qu didn't speak for a long time. He pursed his lips and nodded in a trance, "Everything is under the arrangement of Linggong."

After the ministers bid farewell to the emperor, the first thing to decide was the posthumous title of the emperor. However, this became a difficult problem, because there were temple names for three consecutive generations. As the fourth generation, Liu Xi should not have a temple name. , Liu Xi’s merits and virtues are great, without any stains, and it is not clear if he does not give them to the temple. In the end, everyone went to ask Cui Yan what they meant. Only then did the decision be made, the temple name must be given.

After seven or eight days of negotiations, the ministers finally came up with the agreed posthumous title.
