Under the mulberry tree, the little guy threw himself into the old man's arms, and his crisp laughter echoed around him.
Liu Xi knelt in front of his parents' memorial tablets, lowered his head, and cried as his tears dried up. He had been sitting here for a long time. In this cold winter, his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. A coldness like a cold pierced his heart. Within one day, also on his happiest day, his world collapsed. Not only his father left him, but his mother also left him.
The pain was mixed with loneliness, and the biting cold made him shiver. In this cold night, he did not dare to leave here. His whole body was trembling, but he still did not dare to accept this fact.
"Mom, you said that my father would be scared on the road alone, wouldn't I be scared alone?"
"I'm so afraid that I'm the only one left in this world." Liu Xi trembled and tears fell again. Everything in front of him was already a little blurry. He couldn't see clearly what was in front of him. His eyes The swelling was severe, his chest was even more distressed, and he couldn't breathe. It wasn't until someone sat next to him and put a robe on him that the coldness on his body subsided a little.
Liu Xi turned around, Lu Ji sat next to him, with tears in her eyes, carefully arranging Liu Xi's robe. Liu Xi looked at her with red eyes, "Lv Ji, I have no parents anymore." Lu Ji Ji did not speak, but held his hand tightly and gently rubbed the cold hand, "Husband, you still have me, you have aunts, and younger brothers and sisters. You are not alone."
"No matter what, I will never leave my husband."
After hearing this, Liu Mastiff threw himself into her arms and cried bitterly. Lu Ji gently patted his back and said, "Husband, it's okay. I'm okay with everything. I'll do everything." Mastiff cried for a long time, then he broke away from Lu Ji's arms, stood up, wiped the tears on his face, his voice was a little hoarse, he calmed down and asked: "What's the situation outside?"
"After hearing the news that the emperor passed away and the queen passed away, all the ministers were crying. Zongzheng had already arrived to prepare for the funeral. The people of Luoyang probably knew about it. There were endless cries in Luoyang, and they were all mourning the parents of the great man. , I don’t know about other things." Lu Ji said. Liu Mastiff took a deep breath again to wake himself up. He said: "Lu Ji, you go back to the palace now to take care of Changling. He Erlang and especially Chang Ling, don’t let her cry and don’t let her know.”
"That husband you"
"I still have something important to do. You should go to the palace now." Liu Xi ordered. Lu Ji nodded and quickly led the maids outside the door to leave. Liu Xi walked to the altar of his parents and knelt down in front of them. Bye, he got up and walked out the door. When he walked out, all the slaves, Huangmen, and palace ladies were crying, and the original wedding venue became a place of mourning.
He could vaguely see the three justices standing in front of the door, talking, and didn't know what they were talking about. When they saw Liu Xi coming, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Sun Quan quickly saluted and said, "I will pay my respects to your majesty! I hope your majesty will express my condolences." !!" There was only sadness on Liu Xi's face, and he was not touched by their names. He looked at the three people in front of him and said cautiously: "The funeral of Emperor Daxing has to bother the three elders. "
"Don't dare!"
"Your Majesty, Dahonglu will be responsible for the enthronement as usual?" Cao Cao asked. Liu Xi glanced at him and said: "Emperor Daxing's funeral affairs are not over yet, and I am not in a hurry to do this.
You have your own conclusion, elders don’t need to say more." Hearing Liu Xi’s words, the three princes were a little surprised. After Yuan Shu’s death, the prince had been in decline for a long time. This time, both his parents died, and he was like this again.
In those days, they thought that the prince would not be able to recover for a long time.
But he didn't expect that the prince not only recovered, he was even extremely sober.
As the emperor, when he first discussed important matters with Sangong, he did not let Sangong handle it himself. Instead, he expressed his power and status to Sangong with his own final words. It has to be said that in this regard,
, Cao Cao had some admiration. Liu Xi led the three princes out of the door and saw hundreds of officials crying bitterly, including the prince's subordinate officials. When Liu Xi came, everyone paid their respects and expressed their condolences.
Liu Xi looked at the crowd and said: "You all are willing to send off Emperor Daxing on your own initiative. I would like to thank you on behalf of my father. You are all my father's confidants and the pillars of the Han Dynasty. Xi is young and does not know important things.
I also hope that all of you will be diligent in the affairs of the country as elders, and I will treat you as an elder!" Liu Xi said, and saluted everyone again. All the officials were dumbfounded, and quickly said that they did not dare to return the salute again.
"Emperor Daxing was extremely loving to the people during his lifetime. He was diligent and thrifty. I didn't want my father to be humiliated, so I ordered that according to the instructions of Xiao Wen, the people of the world should mourn for three days. They should not kill animals as sacrifices, do not delay farm work, and should not commit suicide for burial. The world
Officials, please do not delay state affairs by mourning the emperor. Emperor Daxing served the country and the people throughout his life. Officials should serve the people wholeheartedly. This is the best farewell to my father."
"With my father's order, I will take out all the money from the royal private treasury and give it all to the Jimin Mansion to help the people of the world and release official slaves, official prostitutes, and official craftsmen."
“Sincerely!!!”
Everyone shouted, Liu Xi looked at the people below, without saying a word, turned around and returned to the spiritual throne to continue guarding.
Liu Xizhi's order quickly spread to the ears of officials everywhere. Both the people and officials were mourning for the Han Dynasty Emperor Daxing, and they were also sighing for the benevolence and righteousness of the emperor today. Liu Ba from the Relief Office quickly dispatched to implement the emperor's execution
He issued an order to distribute money and food to the poor people in the Sili area. As the last relic of Emperor Daxing, it was distributed to these people. The people cried to receive it.
They cried because the Han Dynasty had lost a benevolent and righteous emperor. After Liu Ba's action, officials and celebrities all over the world seemed to have found an opportunity to express their loyalty to the emperor. They followed suit and sent food and money to the relief government.
, and put on the most frugal clothes, indicating that he had donated all his family property and had no money left. At the same time, he also released a large number of slaves, gave them money, and set them free.
Liu Xi was kneeling in front of the coffin, but he heard the noise coming from outside the door. With a cry, he saw his aunt, who burst into tears and rushed into the hall, fell to the ground, calling for his brother, Liu Xi hurriedly got up
, walked to her side and helped her up. Zhuge Liang also rushed in and supported her with one hand. Princess Raoyang was a little numb from crying. With Liu Xi's support, she walked to her brother's side.
around.
Looking at the familiar brother, lying calmly on the couch with a smile on his face, his sister-in-law was lying beside him, as gentle as ever.
At that moment, her heart was about to break. To her, the emperor was more than just a brother. Since her father left early, her brother had been like her father, raising her up and doting on her the most in the whole world.
, the one who loves her most is the man lying in front of her. He has been protecting her all his life, just like a real father. Every time he cries for his father, he will draw a beard on himself and wear his father's clothes.
Clothes to deceive yourself.
But now, the brother who had doted on her all her life left in such a hurry.
"Brother!!" She lay on the emperor's chest, sobbing. Seeing her like this, Zhuge Liang, who was not far away, lowered his head and sighed. He looked at Liu Xi beside him and said, "Your Majesty, my condolences."
Liu Xi nodded, and Zhuge Liang said again: "Only Your Majesty can persuade her." Liu Xi nodded, walked up to his aunt, and called out: "Aunt."
Rao Yang turned around and looked at her nephew. She cried bitterly, "My poor mastiff!!", stretched out her hands, hugged Liu Xi tightly, and buried her head on Liu Xi's shoulder.
, she started crying, Liu Xi said: "Aunt, I'm sorry, there are nephews like me, and Zhan'er." Liu Xi persuaded, and after talking for a long time, Rao Yang couldn't stop crying, and after a long time,
Rao Yang just stopped crying, but he still sobbed from time to time.
"Uncle, take your aunt back to have a good rest and spend some time. I'll go see your aunt again." Liu Xi said, Zhuge Liang nodded, supported Rao Yang, and left here.
Liu Xi sighed, raised his head, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards the palace.
Before he entered the Cining Hall, he heard cries coming from inside. The cries were noisy. Liu Xi paused for a moment and then walked into the hall. In the main hall, Lu Ji held Chang Ling in one hand and held Chang Ling in the other.
While comforting Erlang, she kept talking, but neither of them listened and cried loudly. Lu Ji couldn't control them. She was also in tears and was in a hurry. Liu Xi walked in and said with a smile: "
You’re so old and you’re still crying? You’re shameless!!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Changling and Erlang stopped crying, raised their heads and looked at Liu Xi. The moment they saw Liu Xi, they all broke free from Lu Ji's hands and rushed towards Liu Xi.
Liu Xi picked up the two of them with some difficulty. He looked at Lu Ji in front of him and said softly: "You are also tired. Go and have a rest. Take a rest for a while. I have some important things to give you tomorrow.
And you!"
Hearing what Liu Xi said, Lu Ji nodded, wiped her tears and left.
Liu Xi hugged them, sat on the bed, and said helplessly: "Changling, what's the matter? Why are you crying?"
"I can't find my father and mother. Brother, do you know where they are?" Changling cried and said, Liu Xi said with a smile: "Of course I know, they went to play in the sky. Don't cry.
They will come back soon. You are so old, how can you cry??" He looked at Liu Di on the side and said helplessly: "You are the same kid. My sister is still young, so it's okay to cry.
Why are you crying? Are you still a man like me?"
"I am!"
"Then stop crying and sleep peacefully. I will play with you tomorrow."
"Brother, I can't sleep. If my mother doesn't come and tell me stories, I can't sleep!" Changling's eyes were full of tears.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you a story. Come on, you all should sleep quietly." Liu Mastiff held the two of them in his arms and sat on the bed. Changling was fine, but Erlang couldn't sleep anymore. He just
Neng put Erlang on the bed, gently stroked his back with one hand, and then began to tell a story.
"A long time ago, there was a man from the Song Dynasty. This man from the Song Dynasty was a farmer. One day, he was a little tired from farming in his field, so he rested in front of a tree stump. As a result, a rabbit rushed towards him.
He came over, hit his head on a tree stump, and died!" Liu Mastiff smiled and told the story. Changling and Erlang had been having trouble all night, and they were lying very quietly at this moment. Liu Xi told the story,
The tears fell bit by bit.
He continued to talk with a smile on his face, raising his head to prevent tears from falling on Changling's face.
"Then, he decided to stay here and guard the rabbit, letting the rabbit bump into him, so that he could eat rabbits every day."
"Eldest brother?"
"What's the matter?"
"Why is the rabbit so stupid?"
"Because it doesn't like to sleep."
"Then I'm going to bed, brother. Will my father and mother come back tomorrow?"
