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 a trip to the Wei family to visit the critically ill Wei Zheng, which can be regarded as a political act. Under such circumstances, he still has to ride with Fang Jun. This is no longer the meaning of favor, but to use this 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 earlier and came out to greet the Holy Spirit all had their eyes twinkling and their hearts surging...
Wei Shuyu didn't realize the deeper meaning of His Majesty Li Er and Fang Jun riding in the same car, he just felt jealous!
Why can this willful stick stick be so favored by the Holy Spirit, while an honest man like me, who is cautious and polite, studious and studious, can't even get a good look from him?
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 the umbrella in his hand with Li Er who got off the car after Fang Jun. 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 how 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. I glanced over the faces of these people one by one, thinking that 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, but few were on good terms with him. He was critically ill at this time, and because of the Dou family's funeral, not many courtiers came. These few people in front of me are old acquaintances of Wei Zheng.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Wei Zheng became an official under the account of Cheng Yuan Baobao in Wuyang County. Yuanbao raised troops to respond to Li Mi of Wagang and returned to Wagang Village. Yuanbao'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 Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng offered ten strategies to strengthen Wagang, but Li Mi did not use it. 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, Hou Junji, 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. At this point, these heroes who were proud of Wagang 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 also gradually withering away, and not many of them were 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 put aside their past grudges and came to visit him.
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 court, he was kind and charitable at home, and was loved by all his servants and maids. At this time, he was lying critically ill on the bed. The servants and maids all had sad faces and tears in their eyes. 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 was speechless.
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 excessive yin and cold in the body have caused the yang to be weak, and the 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. Although everyone in the room was sad, 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. How can the monarch and his ministers be in love with each other for decades without any affection? Moreover, even though he was dissatisfied with Wei Zheng's repeated and merciless remonstrances, His Majesty Li Er was a sensible person and knew that it was Wei Zheng's selfless 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 makes mistakes?
"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 stepped forward, checked Wei Zheng's condition, brought a bowl of medicine and fed him, and then continued to apply needles on him. After a lot of hard work, the effect was very good. Wei Zheng's pale face gradually turned rosy, and his eyes were no longer as distracted as before, and they had some energy.
The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly: "Fortunately, I have passed this point. Judging from the situation, I 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...
Everyone naturally knows this truth, and the imperial doctor's unfinished message should be that while you are conscious now, you can quickly explain anything you have to say.
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: "You and I, the emperor and our ministers, are in a fight. How can I not feel hurt when I deeply feel that Xuancheng has devoted himself to his best work? 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 have a clear conscience when I act all 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..."
Your Majesty Li Er, it doesn't matter whether he is telling the truth or a lie. The important thing is that Wei Zheng can say such words, which is enough to comfort him.
"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 also guess the true intention of Wei Zheng's words. It is nothing more than that even if I have offended you for the rest of my life, after all, it is for the prosperity of this big 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, his family would not be confiscated, 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 etiquette? 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 become the consort by not paying attention?
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... nt
