Liu Zheng looked at Xie Tianyao quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Xie Tianyao's withered hands seemed to want to grab something, but failed to grab anything. He seemed to want to use force, but all his strength had long gone.
aged.
despair.
Liu Zheng's pity at this time was not only pity for the emperor Xie Tianyao. It was not only pity for a life, but also pity for himself and for the entire human race.
Life, what is it.
Death, what is it?
Since ancient times, there have been many philosophers with various views on life and death.
Life is only once for everyone. Despite the poisonous chicken soup of religion, this statement is still recognized by most people.
However......
For Liu Zheng, it was not the case.
Because he actually lived twice.
Once was in a previous life, in modern society.
One time was in Longyan, back in ancient times.
So Liu Zheng actually has his own views on life and death. He actually takes a relatively light view of life and death. He has already lived twice, what else is there to regret? Of course, there will be those trivial regrets, for his family
Regret for my brother, regret for my beloved woman, and regret for this world.
But considering everything Liu Zheng has brought and created since he came to this world, as well as the most basic carbon-based organisms in the universe, there is nothing to regret.
He changed the world so much.
How long can people live?
century?
What about Earth?
Four billion years.
What about the universe...
This is not alarmist, this is real and tangible data. Everyone has been struggling, living, jumping, and trying to realize their own life value and realize their dreams since they were born.
.....However, have you ever thought that the value of your life is really nothing to the entire universe?
even.
Not even dust can compare.
So what else is there to worry about?
Liu Zheng has always hoped that he can live a more open-minded and generous life, and of course, a little deeper. Living this life well is what he hopes. As for when death will come, he has not thought too much about it, because then,
It will make yourself unhappy.
Why bother?
Seeing Xie Tianyao like this, he began to count in detail Xie Tianyao's past and achievements in his life.
In fact, Xie Tianyao's life was exciting enough.
He was actually a very qualified emperor. The Long Yan Dynasty was already in danger before and was in danger of falling apart. Xie Tianyao relied on his own checks and balances to extend Long Yan's life span for more than forty years.
.....
He is diligently governing this country, and he is diligently looking for a way out for this country.
Enough.
Worth it.
"I......"
"I......"
"I......"
Xie Tianyao, struggling hard, seemed to be on the verge of death. He wanted to speak, maybe because he felt that his end was approaching. He no longer insisted on using the word "I". He knew that facing death, he was also an ordinary person.
A person, an ordinary person with a better background than others, nothing more.
"Your Majesty, I'm here..."
"Wei Chen..."
Liu Zheng didn't know what to say.
Although he has a clear understanding of life and death, when he is really faced with a person's life or death, the sadness in his heart can't help but emerge.
He slowly walked over, squatted next to Xie Tianyao's bed, and grabbed his withered hand.
Xie Tianyao smiled forcefully, and finally there was a hint of color in his cloudy eyes.
"I, I'm tired..."
"Tired..."
Xie Tianyao trembled and struggled to get these few words out of his mouth.
"Your Majesty..."
Liu Zheng couldn't help but feel sad.
Thinking back to the time when he met Xie Tianyao, he wanted to liquidate himself several times, but he still couldn't give up. He had several confrontations overtly and covertly, but he still kept himself... because Liu Zheng knew that the pattern of an emperor would definitely
He will not be as small as those scholar-bureaucrats and old nobles. He watched Long Yan getting better and stronger, and he had his own criteria for judging...
Unexpectedly.
In such confrontations, he has slowly aged.
The majesty it once had is no longer there.
He is tired.
He is indeed tired.
Long Yan is too big, he has too many things to worry about.
"I understand..."
Liu Zheng thought for a moment and could only respond with these two words.
Xie Tianyao laughed at himself.
After saying those few words just now, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength. If he wanted to speak again, he still needed to slow down for a while.
"Secret, secret is not mournful..."
Xie Tianyao suddenly grabbed Liu Zheng's hand with force, and his cloudy eyes suddenly became bright.
Liu Zheng was shocked and his face turned pale.
"The secret is not mourning..."
Xie Tianyao insisted on what he said. He grabbed Liu Zheng's hand and began to exert force.
"Big funeral, return to Beijing..."
"Go back to Beijing..."
"Again......"
"Again......"
Liu Zheng also began to tremble all over.
He once thought that Xie Tianyao would die one day, and that the old emperor who had been fighting with him would die, but he still didn't expect that it would happen right in front of him. He probably wasn't mentally prepared yet.
.....
Thank you for your death.
Long Yan is really going to be in chaos.
He didn't expect...
It will be at this time.
"Woooooooooo..."
At this time, the imperial doctors around them, as well as Yuan Qingming and Manager Zhou, all knelt down one by one. They wanted to cry loudly, but they kept holding back for fear that people outside would hear it. You know, this is still in the prince's office.
On the way to the funeral... It is not a good thing for the emperor to die at this time.
"You said..."
Liu Zheng also felt sad in his heart.
Xie Tianyao used up his last strength and looked at the young man Liu Zheng. He seemed to remember the first time he went to Liangzhou and discussed politics with the young man in front of him in the car... Liu Zheng at that time,
Still a little immature, Xie Tianyao at that time was still high-spirited and full of majesty...
Then.
He thought again of Liu Zheng he saw on his birthday last year.
At that time, all he saw in Liu Zheng were the shadows of his own youth.
pity.
He is not his own son...
It's a pity that he is not of his own blood.
only.
Now, he is going to die. Why should he regret these things?
Death is like a lamp going out.
"Back to Beijing..."
"Xie Ming succeeded to the throne..."
"The vassal king sends troops..."
"Territory exchange..."
Xie Tianyao burned his life and said these last few words.
"What?"
Liu Zheng was shocked, and his expression suddenly changed.
Xie Tianyao took a deep look at him for the last time.
