Six hundred and seventeenth chapter live up to the original intention
When Liu Che arrived at the Gu'an Marquis Mansion, the carriages in front of Shentu's house were already lined with nobles and nobles who came to visit and express their condolences to the old prime minister.
Compared with Liu Che's memory of the cold funeral ceremony after Shen Tujia vomited blood and died in his previous life, this was a 180-degree change.
Not only Shen Tujia's former disciples and old friends came to the old leader's house every day, but Shen Tujia's former political enemies and rivals also came in person to stage a good show of heroes cherishing heroes.
Liu Che understood that these people were putting on a show for him.
Therefore, I didn't pay too much attention to these guys.
The Emperor's chariot stopped at the road in front of Gu'an Houmen. Liu Che got off the chariot in person and walked to the Shentu family's residence.
"Actually, after all, I am just putting on a show..." Liu Che thought to himself, mockingly.
"I respectfully welcome your Majesty, may my emperor live forever!" Not long after Liu Che got off the carriage, Shen Tujia's eldest son, Shen Tumi, came forward surrounded by a large number of princes, princes and ministers.
Liu Che glanced at the crowd.
Good guy, except for the Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, who has been busy coordinating the autumn harvest matters across the country recently and has only been away, many of the other three officials and nine ministers are also involved.
It seems that everyone regards Shen Tujia's critical illness as a way to build their reputation.
However, this is also what Liu Che wants to see.
No matter what, let Shen Tujia leave in glory.
"How is the situation of the old prime minister?" Liu Che waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up. Then, under the protection of his own guards, he walked forward with the ministers. As they walked, Liu Che asked Shen Tumi.
"Thank you for your concern, your Majesty. My father woke up once early this morning, then took medicine and fell asleep again..." Shen Tumi lowered his head, his face full of sadness.
Liu Che nodded. In fact, when things have reached this point, all efforts and means are just doing human affairs and obeying fate.
Even if the gods come down to earth, they can't bring back Shen Tujia's life.
"Take me to have a look..." Liu Che ordered.
"promise!"
……………………
Accompanied by Shen Tumi, Liu Che walked into Shen Tujia's bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, Liu Che smelled a strong medicinal smell.
The imperial physician ordered several of Chun Yuyi's disciples to surround the place where Shen Tujia lay and take care of him carefully.
Naturally, Chunyu Yi cannot stay here twelve hours a day. He is also old and has limited energy every day. He will only come when ordered to do so in emergencies.
Fortunately, it is natural that Gu'an Marquis Mansion is not far from the Imperial Medical Office. Of course, the hospital will be built in Guiqi District.
When these future imperial doctors saw Liu Che, they all bowed respectfully.
Liu Che waved his hand and walked to Shen Tujia's bed.
Shen Tujia, the seventh prime minister of the Han Empire, closed his eyes tightly at this moment, closed his clothes and lay on the floor.
His face was pale and colorless, and except for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling weakly while breathing, he was no different from a dead person.
Shen Tujia's body is still very strong.
This legendary figure who rose from a pawn to the position of prime minister of the empire could still eat a large bowl of corn and drink half a kilo of strong liquor a month or two ago.
only……
Be it a hero or a tyrant, a saint or a thief.
In the face of time, everything is vulnerable.
Liu Che stared at Shen Tujia's face.
Many past events emerge from the bottom of my heart.
In the end, the scene settled on that morning three years ago, and the oath Liu Che once made to the old man who was now walking on the collapse.
"Carry on the sage's secret knowledge and create peace for all ages..." Liu Che murmured softly: "Old Prime Minister, just watch me and build this big man to be the center of the heavenly dynasty and the country that is superior to all, and to control thousands of vassals.
Just the empire!"
It might be because he heard Liu Che's voice, or it might be for other reasons.
Shen Tujia's chest, which had only been breathing weakly, suddenly began to beat rapidly and powerfully.
I saw him exhale a breath, and then opened his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Tujia saw Liu Che's figure and said the first words with great enthusiasm.
"Old Prime Minister, I'm here..." Liu Che hurriedly knelt down. Liu Che knew very well that this situation was a reflection of his past. Shen Tujia had been dead for a long time.
"I just went to Changling. Emperor Gao invited me to drink. The wine was good. After drinking the wine, I wandered around Changling in a trance. Under a locust tree, I saw
Waiting for Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin complained to the old minister that he had not had a full meal recently and was often hungry..."
Liu Che squatted beside Shen Tujia and listened quietly to what he said.
Hearing Shen Tujia say this, Liu Che immediately told Taichang Dou Pengzu next to him: "Taichang, after sending people to find Xin Wuhou, select a good, loyal and filial person and submit it to me. I will serve as
No matter how hard Marquis Xinwu returns to his family, we cannot let the hero live under the Nine Springs without sacrificing blood and food!"
"No!" Dou Pengzu immediately stepped forward and said, "I, Pengzu, would like to obey the imperial edict!"
Liu Che knew very well that Shen Tujia just wanted to help his old superior before he died.
The Suhou Jin Gong mentioned by Shentujia was one of the 108 princes who founded the Han Dynasty. He was very famous at the beginning and followed Liu Bang to fight for most of the world. Jin She, the Xinwu Hou, was also Shentujia's old superior.
Jin She was a fierce general who was as famous as Guan Ying, Fan Kuai and Cao Shen during the Chu-Han war for hegemony.
He participated in almost all battles of the Han army.
Both Han Xin fell into his hands, which shows how powerful he is!
At the same time, Jin She was also the founder of the Han Dynasty cavalry force. He participated in and presided over the establishment and expansion of the Han army cavalry force, and was one of the founders of the Han Dynasty cavalry force.
But such a heroic figure has a dog, or rather the dog praises him!
The name of Jin Ting, Jin She's successor, is famous even in Liu Che's memory.
After this man inherited the title of Viscount from his father, he became famous for being a dandy, extravagant, domineering, cruel and tyrannical person.
In the 21st year of his reign, he was invited to drink tea and chat eight times by Tingwei, and was named and criticized more than ten times by the imperial censor and the prime minister.
In the end, Emperor Taizong Xiaowen, who couldn't bear it anymore, took away all his titles and died in poverty. Even though the then Prime Minister Shen Tujia begged hard and even offered to use his title to offend him, he was not allowed.
Because, this guy offended almost the entire royal family at that time.
The crime committed by Jin Ting is called "violating the laws of the country".
In layman's terms, this crime means forcing people to exceed the requirements of the law.
In the Han Dynasty, this was the most serious crime among princes and princes, second only to incest, rebellion, disrespect, and unfilial piety. It was one of the bottom lines for emperors in the past to not accept their ministers.
And it also greatly exceeded the limit of social public opinion's tolerance.
Liu Che couldn't even imagine what kind of idiot and stingy person it would take to do such a thing.
This is tantamount to cutting oneself off from the country, people and society.
Therefore, in the late Han Dynasty, there was never any voice of returning to the Xinwu Hou Kingdom.
But now, Shen Tujia gave up his face and made this last request to Liu Che before his death.
Liu Che had to satisfy him.
Furthermore, believing in Wu Suhou and Jin She still served the country and the nation.
"Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Tujia was overjoyed when he heard this. This wish can be regarded as his last wish.
He had been a soldier for half of his life, and had just fought against the Qin army. He had also experienced the power of Xiang Ji. He had even fought with the Huns in Pingcheng with real swords and spears.
From a small pawn, he stepped on the heads and corpses of countless enemies, and became a prince of the Han Dynasty, a prime minister, and a highly respected minister.
There are not many regrets.
What's more, at this last moment of his life, he can still get the attention of the emperor and the entire government and the public, and he will be ranked higher in the history of the future. His name may not be as big as Xiao He and Cao Shen.
Maybe the last regret is that I can't see the day when the Han army goes out of the fortress, defeats the Xiongnu, and captures the Chanyu.
Shen Tujia raised his head, looked at his son, stretched out his hand and said, "My son!"
Shen Tumi immediately stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow. He already knew what was going to happen.
Shen Tujia looked at his eldest grandson again and said: "Qu Bing..."
A young nobleman in his twenties also immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I am here to cure the disease. Grandfather, please tell me!"
"One day, the king's army will go out to capture Shan Yu in the north. During the family sacrifice, don't forget to tell Nai Weng!" Shen Tujia almost used up all his strength to look at his children and grandchildren, and then his body lost all strength. Lying softly on the couch.
Liu Che looked at this scene, and for some reason, his eyes felt a little red.
Because Liu Che remembered that there was such a familiar allusion in history.
Wang Shibei fixed the Central Plains Day, and he did not forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifices.
However, Xin Qiji would never see the day when the Song army expelled the Tatars and restored the country. The weak and decadent Song Dynasty made Xin Qiji sad and heartbroken during his lifetime, and he could not rest in peace after his death.
Decades later, the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry went south, destroyed the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, and trampled the great rivers and mountains into disgrace.
Eighty years later, a commoner who was born as a cowherd boy and worked as a monk raised the flag of righteousness and restored the Han family.
"Old Prime Minister, please rest assured, I will never let such a regret happen!" Liu Che said silently in his heart: "Please watch from the sky, I will plant black flags all over the world, within the four seas, and within the Liuhe. In the middle, where the sun and the moon shine, all the people there are the concubines of the Han officials!"
Thinking like this, Liu Che slowly stood up, turned to look at the ministers, and said: "All the ministers have heard the old prime minister's last wish! From today on, we, the emperor and the ministers, must work together, work hard, refresh politics, organize and train The army, teach the soldiers, strengthen the armament, and leave the fortress in five years. Empress Xue Lu’s humiliation, revenge for Pingcheng, appeal to Emperor Gao, Taizong, and Renzong, and comfort the soldiers and people who died under the iron heel of the Huns in the past sixty years!”
"Your Majesty's teachings, I will take them to heart. I am willing to do my best to serve Your Majesty. In five years, I will avenge my humiliation and take revenge!" All the ministers knelt down one after another.
After Pingcheng to this day, avenging the humiliation of the Huns and repaying Pingcheng has become one of the political correctness of the Han Dynasty, and it has also become the goal and mission of the Han Dynasty regime.
In the face of this political consensus, all factions in the government and the opposition are united.
……………………
In the second year of Han Yuande, in the eighth month of autumn, Gu Anhou Shen Tujia passed away in his family home at the age of eighty-four. His posthumous title was Chenghou, and the posthumous law says: Anmin and established government were said to be Cheng. In September, he was buried in Yangling, and his epitaph said:
Sigh! Two or three sons, the one who sleeps here is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, so An Chenghou Shentu Gong Tajia Ye, the civil servants got off the car, the generals took off their armor, and the soldiers and the people were solemn. "Book of Han. Biography of Gu'an in Peking" (to be continued.)
ps: Jin Ting is indeed a weirdo! I looked through the entire Han Dynasty and historical records, and among the countless princes and kings who were convicted, this scumbag is the only one who has been charged with "violating the laws of the country". It really embarrasses his father!
