When the news of Shi Zhongling's death came out, it was not as sensational as Xun Linggong. This Shi Zhongling, who was born in Jianning three years ago, is now sixty-six years old, which can be considered an advanced age. Sima
On the day of his death, his family sent people to inform the emperor.
At that time, Liu Xi was sitting in the Houde Hall, and the imperial doctor was ordering him to diagnose and prescribe him. Qi Yue hurried into the Houde Hall, lowered his head, and said with some sadness: "My country, the imperial minister passed away last night.
.." After Qi Yue finished speaking, Liu Xi was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Didn't I give him the magic medicine? How could...this..."
Liu Xi was speechless. The imperial physician took a few steps back knowingly, and then ordered: "Your Majesty, please don't be upset... Your Majesty has been here for a long time, so it can be considered a joy and mourning. I hope your Majesty won't be upset..."
." Liu Xi sighed, looked at Qi Yue, and said seriously: "I understand, let Zhuge Linggong handle the other things. I don't feel very well, so I will rest for a while."
"Your welcome!" Qi Yue bowed before leaving Houde Hall.
The imperial physician ordered a few more instructions, but Liu Xi obviously couldn't listen anymore. The imperial physician left helplessly, leaving Liu Xi alone with a frown on his face and tears in his eyes. He still remembered that he had
When he was in his master's mansion, that was the happiest time in his life. Although his father was very harsh on him and his mother didn't care about him and often quarreled with his father, he still missed that time very much.
At that time, he did not have to bear such huge pressure, nor did he have to think about so many things all day long, nor did he have to be so tired, nor did he have to kill his friends, fear his brothers, look forward and backward, and think
There were so many bullshit, and sometimes, Liu Xi really wanted to leave everything behind, run to a place where no one knew him, leave all the bad things behind, and spend some time comfortably.
He had indeed done that before. Except for Qi Yue, no one knew where he was. He took a pleasant trip to his hometown. Their roots were all in the Hejian Kingdom. In his grandfather's house, he finally found
Although he could not catch anything from the river like his grandfather, he was already very content. After he ascended the throne, he rarely enjoyed a comfortable life for three months.
The more he was under the double oppression of such fatigue and pain, the more Liu Xi longed for death. He was not afraid of death. He was looking forward to the day when he left. After all, after leaving, he would not have to suffer such pain all the time. Presumably
That was a long period of rest, Liu Xi thought. Rest was really a luxury for the emperor who could only rest for less than three hours a day.
He found that he actually envied Sima Yilai.
But he still couldn't leave too early. He still had many things to arrange, such as Liu Qu. Even if Liu Qu could make him feel more at ease, Liu Xi would also be willing to taste the tea that Sima Yi drank. But ah
, this prince really left him speechless. He needed to give the prince a home and let him mature as soon as possible. He wanted to see that the three forces in the temple could reach a balance before he could let go and leave.
Oh, by the way, there is Kushan. Kuishang must be stabilized. Oh, by the way, there is also overseas. There must be no unrest overseas. Oh, by the way, outside the Great Wall, Liu Xi suddenly laughed again, but the smile was extremely
The bitterness, almost despair.
When the emperor returned to the harem, the queen had already learned the news of Sima Yi's death. The queen knew that Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang had been friends of the emperor for many years. The emperor often mentioned many interesting things about the three of them. Therefore, the queen also understood in her heart.
, the emperor must be in pain at this moment, but unfortunately, she did not guess that the pain caused by Sima Yi's death was far less than other tortures... This pain was only a drop in the bucket.
"Your Majesty... I just heard the news. I have already sent people to express condolences to his family..." the queen said gently. Liu Xi smiled. The queen never let him down. Many times, he
She didn't have to say anything, the queen would do it for him. Over the years, the queen would often send people to take care of the mothers and wives of the ministers in the court, and sometimes call them to greet them and give them rewards.
Amidst the huge waves, there is always a ray of breeze that can push the boat and allow Liu Xi to steer better.
"Okay... I'm sorry to bother you, Queen..." Liu Xi said, and sat next to the Queen, frowning. The Queen comforted her a few more words, and while she was talking, Liu Xi suddenly asked: "Hu
How old is your son this year?" The queen was stunned, but said truthfully: "He is already eighteen."
"Eighteen... Well, that's enough... I think it's time for him to start a family... Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Starting a family? Isn't it too early? With Hu'er's temperament, can he support a family? Why don't we wait..." The queen said seriously. Liu Xi suddenly became furious and stood up suddenly.
He stood up and said loudly: "He is eighteen years old, why can't he support a family? Then how will he support a country when I die? Wait, wait, what are you waiting for!!"
The emperor was furious and said: "In the countryside, a man of his age can already separate families and become the head of the family. Look at your tiger, what can he do? All day long
You are just idle, why should you learn to be a knight?!" Liu Xi roared angrily, but the queen remained silent. She did not argue with the emperor. When the emperor finished his roar and calmed down a little, the queen came up and hugged him gently.
Son of Heaven.
Liu Xi's anger dissipated instantly. He lowered his head, held the queen's hand helplessly, and said: "Lu Ji...I..."
"Your Majesty, it's okay. The prince of the official school is a well-known person with good moral character. He has a granddaughter named Wang Yuanji. She has been with Hu'er since she was young. I have also gone to see her. She is a good woman.
This woman can be a good match for Hu'er, but I don't know what Hu'er will think..."
"What else can he think about? It's not up to him. Let the queen make the arrangements at this time... Anyway, the prince must get married as soon as possible. Only when he has a family and a career can he mature, become responsible, and have a better temperament.
I will be steady and will not be idle anymore... Queen, I would rather not marry the prince with the ceremony, but as soon as possible anyway..."
"Your Majesty...I understand..."
.......
Zhuge Liang had just arrived at the Chancellor's Desk and was about to start today's affairs. Suddenly, an official came to report that the sergeant had passed away last night. Zhuge Liang was stunned for a long time, put down what he was doing, and drove to Sima's mansion.
After the ministers and ministers left, he still had to go to mourn. Sitting in the carriage, Zhuge Liang's mind was always filled with those scenes from decades ago.
Two equally arrogant young people had been arguing constantly, forcing Yuan Zi to teach with a sword. From the time they met until now, they seemed to have been competing. The debate lasted for decades, but finally ended.
It ended with the death of Sima Yi. He knew that Sima Yi had always been in poor health. He often fell ill and looked very weak. Unexpectedly, he had survived so many times, but this time, he still lost to the disease.
When he arrived at Sima's mansion, several of Sima Yi's younger brothers came to greet him. Sima Lang, the eldest brother of the Sima family, died first. Sima Yi has also left now. The oldest one has become Sima Fu, but Sima Fu is still alive.
In Guishang, therefore, only Sima Jin and Sima Min came to greet him. Sima Jin seemed a little unhappy with him.
Zhuge Liang knew that because both sides knew about the conflict between him and Sima Yi, but Sima Min was different. He seemed to be much more sensible. He respectfully invited Zhuge Liang into the mansion, and no one came to mourn.
Not much. In the past, Sima Yi could be said to have ruined all his popularity. He had alienated almost everyone, including several of his younger brothers.
Therefore, when he passed away, not many people came to mourn. Most of them were descendants of the Sima family, or several families who were married to the Sima family. Zhuge Liang stood out among these people.
Accompanying these people to bid farewell to Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang felt the dazed feeling for the first time. He always felt that this was a bit unrealistic, as if it was all a dream-like illusion.
After Liu Yi arrived, the eyes that were focused on Zhuge Liang finally moved away. Everyone came to pay homage to Liu Yi. Liu Yi also returned the greetings one by one and went to say goodbye to Sima Yi. Only then did Liu Yi come to Zhuge Liang's side.
He whispered: "Zhuge Linggong, Your Majesty asked us to arrange Sima Linggong's affairs and go to Houde Hall to find him tomorrow..."
Zhuge Liang nodded.
After discussing with several ministers, Zhuge Liang still pursued the position of Zhonglie Hall for this old friend. Even if nothing else was mentioned, his achievements in governing Jingbei and Yanzhou were enough for him to enter the Zhonglie Hall.
What's more, when Zhuge Liang went to conquer Kushan, Sima Yi was in charge of many things in the temple, and he did it in an orderly manner, which also led to a lot of development in various policies.
After arranging many things for Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and Liu Yi rushed to the Houde Hall early the next day. When they arrived at the Houde Hall, the emperor had already been busy in the Houde Hall for a long time. The emperor looked like
He was a little tired, and obviously, Sima Yi's incident had also hit him hard. Zhuge Liang and the emperor comforted each other for a while, and then the three of them formally talked about important matters.
"Who do you two think can be the Shizhongling?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Zhuge Liang was stunned, looked at Liu Yi beside him, and then said: "I think it is enough for an official and a servant to shoot the prince." Liu Xi heard this and shook his head, even though he was about to fight with him.
The old man became an in-law, but the old man was extremely stubborn and conservative in his thinking. Letting him stay in Houde Hall was completely torturing himself.
Liu Yi frowned and said helplessly: "I don't know either."
Liu Xi just missed Sima Yi a little now. If he were here, he would be able to guess his thoughts no matter what the occasion, and he would tell everyone on his behalf that the emperor liked his intelligence very much, but it was always because he understood him too well.
And for fear, now, without him, the emperor could only speak on his own. He looked at the two people in front of him and asked slowly:
