Chapter 1,327 Wei Zheng is critically ill (Part 2)
Everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er favors Fang Jun, his son-in-law, but it is a bit unbelievable that he favors his son-in-law to the extent of traveling in the same car.
This is not an ordinary outing in the wild, but rushing to the Wei family to visit the critically ill Wei Zheng, which can be regarded as a political act. Under such circumstances, we still have to ride with Fang Jun. This is no longer the meaning of favor, but to use this kind of A gesture to declare his love and support for Fang Jun!
At the door, Cheng Yaojin, Chai Zhewei, Chai Lingwu, Qin Huaidao, Zhang Xiangxiang, Li Zhen and others who had arrived a step earlier and came out to greet the Holy Driver all had their eyes twinkling and their hearts surging...
Wei Shuyu did not realize the deeper meaning of His Majesty Li Er and Fang Jun riding in the same car, he just felt jealous!
How could this willful stick-stick be so favored by the Holy Spirit, while he, an honest man who is cautious and polite, studious and studious, could not even get a single look on his face?
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Wei Shuyu finally did not forget his identity and current situation. He quickly took two steps forward and covered Li Er, who was following Fang Jun from the car, with the umbrella in his hand. His Majesty raised his head, letting the rain wet his body and robes, and said respectfully: "I respectfully welcome the Holy Master!"
His Majesty Li Er nodded slightly, with a solemn expression on his face, and asked: "How is your father doing?"
Wei Shuyu's eyes turned red and he choked slightly: "The imperial doctor said... I'm afraid he won't be alive for a few days."
His Majesty Li Er's heart sank, and he couldn't describe what he felt...
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lead the way."
"Here!"
Wei Shuyu responded quickly, turned slightly sideways, and led His Majesty Li Er into the mansion.
Fang Jun followed His Majesty Li Er into the mansion, passed by the door, and nodded to Cheng Yaojin and others. His eyes swept over the faces of these people one by one, and he thought to himself, this is really interesting...
Wei Zheng was a tough man who only offended people and never tried to win over them. Many people in the court hated him, and few were on good terms with him. He was critically ill at this time, and because the Dou family's funeral was used as a cover, few courtiers came. These few in front of me are old acquaintances of Wei Zheng.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Zheng served as an official under Cheng Yuanbao Bao of Wuyang County. Yuan Bao raised troops to respond to Li Mi of Wagang and returned to Wagang Village. Yuan Bao's memorials to Li Mi were all written by Wei Zheng. Li Mi saw that Wei Zheng was very talented in literature, so he summoned him Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng offered ten strategies to strengthen Wagang, but Li Mi did not use them. After returning to Wagang Village, Wei Zheng met a group of heroes and admired each other, including Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Qu Tutong, Zhang Gongjin, and Hou Jun. Ji, Wang Bodang, Shan Xiongxin, Chai Shao and others.
But later, Wang Bodang died blocking Li Mi's arrow. Shan Xiongxin was worshiped as a general by Wang Shichong, but was defeated by Li Tang. Wei Zheng, Li Ji and others tried to persuade His Majesty Li Er to no avail, and Shan Xiongxin was killed. So far, these The heroes who were proud of Wagang in those days fell apart. They complained and hated each other, and estrangement was inevitable.
It's just that now Wei Zheng is critically ill and is about to die. The heroes of Wagang were gradually withering away, and not many people are still alive. Therefore, even though Qin Qiong, Chai Shao, Zhang Gongjin and others passed away one after another, after people heard that Wei Zheng was critically ill, they also put aside the past. Enmity, come and visit.
All hatred disappears in the face of death, only the friendship from back then remains...
*****
The atmosphere in the back house of Wei Mansion is sad.
Although Wei Zheng was tough and ruthless in the court, he was kind and charitable at home, and was loved by all his servants and maids. At this time, he was critically ill and lying on the bed. The servants and maids had sad faces and tears in their eyes, and the whole mansion was shrouded in sadness.
His Majesty Li Er stepped into the bedroom under the guidance of Wei Shuyu, and saw Wei Zheng's face was pale and bloodless, lying on his back on the bed with his eyes closed. His old wife Pei was sitting sideways by the bed, holding Wei Zheng's bony palm. Sad and weeping.
Wei Shuyu, Wei Shuwan, Wei Shulin, Huo Princess Wei and other children all knelt in front of the window, each one weeping and looking sad.
"His Majesty……"
Seeing His Majesty Li Er striding in, all the children of the Wei family saluted.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand, stepped forward and looked down at Wei Zheng on the bed, and asked Mr. Pei solemnly: "How is the declaration situation?"
Mrs. Pei was probably overly sad, she just shed tears and could not speak.
The imperial doctor on the side took two steps forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Duke Zheng is suffering from wind and cold. The excess of yin and cold has caused the Yang Qi to be weak. In addition, his organs have failed. I am afraid that... I am incompetent and have no way to save myself. It’s better to prepare for the funeral as soon as possible.”
There was a burst of crying, and although everyone in the room was grieved, they did not dare to cry loudly.
His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly, with a sad face. He took a step forward. Mrs. Pei stood up and asked His Majesty Li Er to sit beside the bed.
Holding Wei Zheng's bony palm, whatever resentment His Majesty Li Er had towards Wei Zheng disappeared. For decades, how could the monarch and his subjects be so merciless? Moreover, even if he was dissatisfied with Wei Zheng's repeated merciless admonitions, His Majesty Li Er He was a sensible person and knew that it was Wei Zheng's unselfish remonstrances that forced him to endure his desires and not dare to do whatever he wanted.
Without Wei Zheng from now on, who would be able to speak out and remonstrate with him when he does something wrong?
"Xuancheng, have you heard what I said?" His Majesty Li Er leaned over slightly and called out softly.
Perhaps it is true that there is a saying of "dragon energy". When His Majesty Li Er called out, Wei Zheng, who was mostly lethargic, opened his eyes slightly, calmed down a little, and said softly: "Your Majesty..."
All the relatives in the room were in high spirits. The imperial doctor quickly came forward, checked Wei Zheng's condition, brought a bowl of medicine, fed him, and then applied acupuncture on him continuously. After a lot of work, the effect was very good, Wei Zheng looked pale. His face gradually became rosy, and his eyes were no longer as distracted as before, but now they had some energy.
The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly: "Fortunately, we have passed this point. Judging from the situation, we should be fine within three or two days."
It will be fine within three or two days, but after these three or two days, I am afraid that even the gods will not be able to save him...
Of course everyone knows this truth, and the imperial doctor's unfinished message should be that while he is conscious now, he can tell him anything he has to say as soon as possible.
His Majesty Li Er looked sad and held Wei Zheng's hand tightly, with tears in his eyes and a sad expression.
Wei Zheng cheered up and smiled: "Your Majesty is a hero in the world, why do you act like a little daughter? Birth, old age, illness and death are all human beings. Your Majesty does not need to feel sad."
His Majesty Li Er gave a wry smile and said with emotion: "When you and I, the emperor and our ministers, are fighting, how can I not feel hurt when I deeply feel that Xuancheng has devoted himself to his whole life? I only hope that Xuancheng will get better as soon as possible. Without you to encourage me, the whole court Civil and military officials, who else dares to offend Yan Zhijian?"
Wei Zheng coughed twice, gasped and smiled: "I have been a bad person all my life, and I have done enough... Before I die, I just want to say sorry to Your Majesty. I only want to be clear of guilt in my actions throughout my life, but I have never done so. I am worried about His Majesty’s face... Thinking about it now, I feel so ashamed of Your Majesty..."
It doesn't matter whether His Majesty Li Er is telling the truth or a lie. What is important is that Wei Zheng can be relieved when he can say such words from his mouth.
"Xuancheng doesn't need to belittle himself. If he is not a foolish king, how can he not distinguish between right and wrong? Just relax and recuperate, and don't think about those messy things..."
After pondering for a moment, His Majesty Li Er could guess the true intention of Wei Zheng's words. Even if I offend you for the rest of my life, it is for the sake of the prosperity of this great empire. When I die, don't implicate your anger on me. On the younger generation...
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er said: "Princess Hengshan is the daughter of a certain and Empress Wende. I betrothed her to Xuanzang's son Shuyu, and the Wei family became royal relatives. I will ensure that your Wei family will be rich and noble for generations to come, and will be with the country." stop."
Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, he held His Majesty Li Er's palm with his backhand, struggled to sit up, and said: "Old minister... thank you Lord for your kindness!"
This was not the time to be polite. Wei Zheng knew very well that none of his sons had any future. If he were to be implicated by me again, he would not end up confiscating his family, but he would inevitably live in embarrassment.
Now His Majesty Li Er is marrying Princess Hengshan to Wei Shuyu, which is enough to ensure the wealth of the Wei family. How can he dare to postpone it so pretentiously?
If His Majesty Li Er goes back on his word, it will be over...
His Majesty Li Er quickly stretched out his hand to hold Wei Zheng's shoulders and said comfortingly: "Just lie down like this. You and I have been kings and ministers for many years, why do we need these vulgar etiquettes? As long as you are healthy and well, you will have a lot to rely on Xuancheng after you recover." "
Wei Zheng couldn't get up, so he shouted: "Shu Yu, why don't you thank your Majesty quickly?"
Wei Shuyu on the side was still a little confused. Did he accidentally become the prince-in-law?
Just thinking that the little girl Princess Hengshan is only seven or eight years old this year, and he is almost twenty, the corner of his mouth can't help but twitch...
