"Your Majesty... it's better to rest for a while."
Hou Shen cried and said, and the blood that kept pouring out of the corners of Emperor Xiao's mouth made him feel that his heart was broken, and it was broken into pieces.
"No, I have to finish everything while I'm still awake."
Emperor Xiao smiled. Although he was still vomiting blood, his complexion was getting better and better, and he seemed to be in a better state of mind. He just drank the medicine Li Dongchang boiled, and it seemed to be effective. But everyone knows that there is no such thing in this world.
It was a true elixir that could cure diseases. Emperor Xiao's spirit improved. It was not the effect of the medicine, but... his return to the light.
"Prince Zhong is still in the imperial mausoleum. He is probably complaining to his father. Haha, since he wants to complain, let him talk to his father every day. Did I just say that I would send him away? Forget it.
There are old subordinates of his in military camps all over the country, and I don’t feel at ease wherever he goes. Lu Sen, please draft a decree so that Liu Ling does not have to return to the city. Let him guard the tomb in the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life, and he will never be allowed to use it! Not only him, he
None of my descendants can be officials!"
"I... obey your order!"
Lu Sen swallowed hard, feeling very heavy in his heart. At this time, he did not complain about Emperor Xiao's ingratitude, but was afraid of Emperor Xiao's ruthlessness. This is the emperor, no matter whether you are really rebellious or not, he doubted it.
, No, he was not suspicious, he was afraid, so he had to strike first. The prince was only seven years old, and he was afraid that his only son could not intimidate the loyal king who had made great contributions.
Emperor Xiao continued: "The prince is still young, and after my death, the power of this great man will rest on his young shoulders. All I can do is leave him with a few of your humerus ministers. You three
They are all the people I trust the most. After I pass away and the prince ascends the throne, the government will depend on the three of you to assist him. After all, he is still young... Please help me!"
"I will never let you down His Majesty's grace by serving me to the death!"
The three people kowtowed.
"Draft the edict, add Lu Sen as the grand master, the prime minister, and the head of the auxiliary ministers! Add Hou Shen as the Taibao, the bachelor of Guanwen Palace, and the auxiliary minister! Add Pei Hao as the Shaobao, the official in charge of the government, and the auxiliary minister.
!”
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Emperor Xiao took a deep breath and said: "In addition, Jia Sheng Tu Yehu will be appointed as the general of the Zhenjun army, Kaifuyi, Zhenguohou, commander-in-chief of the three guards of Taiyuan, and will take over Liu Ling's Shura camp cavalry. There must be no mistake.
.Add Dugu Ruizhi as the champion general, Tongsansi, Anguohou, commander of the Black Qilin Army, and Shura Camp commander. Add Li Hao as the Huaihua general, Tongsansi, Ningguohou, and be awarded a gold medal for immunity from death, Shenzhanyingying
Command envoy. Add Qian Zhenglan as General Yunhui, Tongsansi, Zhenjunhou, grant a gold medal for immunity from death, and command envoy of Shenfeng Camp."
After saying so much in one breath, Emperor Xiao started coughing violently again. Fortunately, he no longer vomited blood, and he did not look as miserable as before. But several people knew in their hearts that Emperor Xiao who did not vomit blood was probably closer to death.
If it goes any further, or maybe he has no more blood to vomit out.
"Cheng Yihou was removed from the command of the heavy camp, stripped of the title of Marquis of Sanjiang, and demoted to a commoner. Liu Mao was removed from the post of Tongshou of Yingzhou, stripped of the title of Marquis of Huting, and demoted to a commoner. Stripped of half a catty of the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, he was demoted to the rank of a commoner.
Common people. Du Yi, the commander of the Fuyuan Army, was removed from all his official titles and demoted to common people. Zheng Xu was appointed as the general returning to Germany and Marquis of Dingnan. He succeeded Du Yi as the commander of the Fuyuan Army. Luo Fu was appointed as the general returning to Germany. Together with
Third Division, Ping Beihou, let him control the Jianxiong Army for me to prevent Daliao in the north!"
After issuing so many decrees in succession, due to fatigue and exhaustion of energy, Emperor Xiao seemed to have lost his previous look, his face became pale again, and the color in his eyes gradually disappeared and gradually returned to a dull look.
He gasped for air, raised his hand and beat it hard on his chest, as if trying to squeeze out the little air in his lungs. There was a constant gurgling sound in his throat, like the sound of a rattlesnake crawling by.
.It makes people feel palpitating and shuddering.
Finally, unable to breathe, Emperor Xiao's eyes suddenly bulged out, and his hand suddenly stretched out, as if he wanted to grab something, but finally dropped it weakly.
"You guys, please don't let me down! Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
With a shrill wail, Emperor Xiao's throat sweetened, and a mouthful of blood came up, blocking his breathing, and he died at the age of nearly thirty-eight.
You guys can't let me down...
These words were like a blood curse, shaking and circling in the hearts of several people. Finally, Lu Sen, who was the first to react, crawled forward a few steps and probed Emperor Xiao's nose with trembling hands, as if being caught by a snake.
He took a bite and jerked back. Lu Sen knocked his head down and there was a loud bang.
"Your Majesty... passed away!"
Fengyi Palace burst into tears, and Queen Su Jianli, who had just received the news and rushed over, happened to walk to the door. When she heard this cry, her heart suddenly stopped, her throat couldn't breathe, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
The doctor who was standing outside quickly helped her up and hurriedly diagnosed and treated her.
Not long after, there was only mourning in Fengyi Palace. On September 27, Han Xiao Emperor Liu Zhuo, who had just managed the Double Ninth Festival ceremony, passed away. The second emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was a
The diligent and respectable emperor can be ranked among the top even among the emperors of the past dynasties. He is also the wisest emperor since the founding of the Han Dynasty. Of course, if it were not for the last few months, he would be almost idiotic.
If he digs his own grave, he will be a wise and flawless monarch. Unfortunately, in his short days, he made one mistake after another. Perhaps in order to punish his mistakes, God will punish him early.
He took him back.
On this day, the Han Dynasty September Feixue did not know whether he was crying for the death of Emperor Xiao, or crying for another person's grievances. Emperor Xiao died, leaving behind a seven-year-old prince Liu Li, who became the leader of the Han Dynasty.
The only successor. He also left three auxiliary ministers, Lu Sen, Hou Shen and Pei Hao, who were extremely popular ministers.
The decision made by Emperor Xiao at the last moment cannot be evaluated in terms of good or bad. We can only say that this is a tragic figure, the inner fear of an emperor who struggled to survive and become stronger in the cracks of a powerful country, and finally died in depression. He was afraid.
I am really afraid, afraid that my son will not be able to hold up the big man's sky. All he can do is to pave the road for his children to be smoother and reduce some bumps. Although it is wishful thinking, it is difficult to use the right and correct methods.
Measure mistakes. From the perspective of a king, maybe he is completely wrong, but from the perspective of a father, is he really wrong?
On September 27, the fourth year of Jiafeng in the Great Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiao of the Han Dynasty, who had only reigned for three years and nine months, ended his historical mission, which was short-lived and not glorious. In the long history of history, his death,
Maybe it can't even stir up a wave. But in the Han Dynasty, it is like a landslide and a tsunami.
There was no strong stroke left, no legend left, only... a sigh.
Lu Sen, Hou Shen, and Pei Hao retreated outside, looking at the Fengyi Palace with people coming and going, and at the snowflakes falling all over the sky, feeling speechless.
Queen Su Jianli, who had regained consciousness, was washing Emperor Xiao's face with her own hands in the palace. Her tears could break people's hearts. Although she did not cry loudly, she just let the tears slide down her cheeks.
I don't know how long it took, Pei Hao sighed and said: "The affairs in the palace will be left to the Prime Minister and Lord Hou. I will go to the imperial mausoleum to announce the decree. The loyal king... No, Liu Ling, a commoner, is not qualified to enter the palace."
, I went to stop it first."
Pei Hao cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Hou Shen grabbed him and said, "Hengzhi, are you planning to do this?"
Pei Hao was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty's decree is like this. As a minister who cares about life, how can Pei not do things according to the decree? Is it possible that Mr. Hou wants to disobey the imperial decree?!"
Hou Shen sighed: "Hengzhi, think about it, if His Majesty's decree is really read out, wouldn't there be chaos in the army? The three guards and horses of Taiyuan are all soldiers trained by King Zhong, and the generals also treat them with loyalty.
The king is following his lead. If the loyal king is really demoted to a commoner to guard the mausoleum, how will the army deal with it once something happens in the army?"
Pei Hao broke away from Hou Shen's arm and said, "Didn't His Majesty already have arrangements? Now General Li Hao and General Qian Zhenglan are in charge of Shenzhan and Shenfeng 2nd Battalion respectively. Pei is appreciated by His Majesty as the Supervisor of Shenji Battalion.
, the soldiers and horses of the three battalions are all frightened by the important officials of the imperial court, who dares to turn back?!"
Lu Sen said: "Heng Zhi's words are wrong. Zhong Wang Su's military spirit and his prestige in the army can actually be compared with Li Hao, Qian Zhenglan and others? Besides, those two people have just moved into the second battalion of Shenzhan Shenfeng.
How can they control the morale of the army in such a short period of time? Once the army mutinies, what can they rely on to deter them? Can they rely on the rank of general that His Majesty has just conferred?"
Pei Hao pointed at Lu Sen and shouted: "Lu Sen, how brave are you! His Majesty has just passed away, are you planning to rebel?"
He shouted crazily: "Where are the guards on the left and right? I will capture these two traitors!"
A dozen or so Qilin Guards dressed in black appeared from nowhere and surrounded the three of them. Lang Qing, the leader of the Qilin Guards, walked over slowly with a gloomy face.
"Who are you?!"
Pei Hao pointed at Lang Qing and asked.
Lang Qing said: "Your Majesty's personal guard, Qilin Guards commander Lang Qing."
Pei Hao laughed loudly and said: "You came just in time, hurry up! Take down these two traitors Lu Sen and Hou Shen quickly, they are planning to rebel!"
Lang Qing nodded and said: "Since someone is plotting rebellion, the Qilin Guard should capture the thief for the country."
He waved his hand, and two black-clothed guards of the Qilin Guards rushed up and tied up Pei Hao tightly. Although Pei Hao was young and strong, how could he be a Qilin Guard with strong martial arts skills?
His opponent? While he struggled, he cursed Lang Qing for his ambition. However, the cries in the palace were loud, and his curses were so weak and weak.
A Qilin Guard raised his hand and cut Pei Hao on the back of his neck. Pei Hao's body went limp and he immediately passed out. Lang Qing waved his hand to take him away, and no one of the dozen or so Qilin Guards left in an instant.
Lu Sen and Hou Shen were also surprised on the spot. They were so stunned that they didn't know why it was like this. After a while, Lu Sen, who had regained his composure, bowed and said, "Xie Lang, commander of Gaoyi! The future of the Han Dynasty lies in the leader of today."
A righteous act!"
Lang Qing did not answer but turned and left. When he walked about ten steps away, he stopped and did not look back. He just said slowly: "I hope that today, Lang and the two adults have done nothing wrong!
"
Lu Sen and Hou Shen looked at each other, then bowed to the ground at Lang Qing's back.
