Emperor Xuanzong knew that the fate between the emperor and his ministers had finally come to an end because Yao Chong was about to leave.
He tried his best to endure his grief and told Li Sixu: "Accompany Yao Aiqing for me, and I will wait in the carriage."
After Xuanzong left, Yao Chong cheered up and stretched out his hand towards Li Sixu. Li Sixu held his hand, and Yao Chong seemed to have a little more strength in his body.
He said weakly: "Little princess, don't blame me for using excuses to send your majesty away. There are some things that I can't say to your majesty, so I can only explain them to the princess."
Master Yao's condition cannot be cured by medicine or stone. Li Sixu only regrets that she is not a god and cannot leave this wise minister who has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty for the Tang Dynasty.
With tears on her face, she said sadly: "Master Yao, please tell me, as long as Sisi can do it, she will do her best."
"Little princess, don't cry. When you cry, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart."
Yao Chong stretched out his hand like a dead branch, trying to wipe away the tears falling from Li Sixu's face, but in the end, his hand hung down weakly due to weakness.
Li Sixu tried her best to hold back her tears, and Yao Chongzhuan said slightly: "From last year to now, although many veterans have been on the sickbed, Master Yuan has stayed in front of the sickbed to tell me everything that happened in the palace. What regrets are there, except that I can’t worry about the Queen.”
Master Yao was like this, Li Sixu was surprised that he would mention Queen Wang.
She looked like she was listening attentively, and Yao Chong continued to explain weakly: "Although I have been favored by Emperor Zetian, I support the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty in my heart. I believe that I must keep in mind the lessons of Wu Zhou's compilation and not relax even a little bit."
"Your father is a man of great wisdom, and he has the signs of a wise king through the ages. However, if we take history as a guide, people in high positions have always been immersed in power and beauty. It is extremely difficult for them to keep their true intentions. Except for those upright and strict courtiers, it is... With a virtuous and virtuous person like the Empress who is always vigilant, the Emperor can govern the Tang Dynasty to prosperity."
Yao Chong's voice became weaker and weaker: "Just as a person has a house that can keep him warm and keep the cold away, and it also binds him to a place, I believe that the Queen's existence is the house where the emperor lives, which can protect the emperor from wind and rain, and wait for the wind and rain. When it stops, it will make the emperor feel that he is being restrained."
"Humans live in the big house of heaven and earth, and they must abide by the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot completely throw away the rules that bind him. Otherwise, he will not know whether it brings blessing or disaster. "
"I shouldn't have interfered with the affairs of the harem, but I'm afraid that Wu Zhou's forces are still causing trouble in the dark."
Yao Chong's speech became weaker and weaker, as if he only had the last bit of strength left. Li Sixu knew that he must have something to tell his family, and she used the golden needle to stimulate the last bit of potential in his body. She didn't know if he could still sustain it. how long.
Knowing what he had said so much and what he wanted to explain, Li Sixu's eyes filled with tears and she solemnly agreed: "Master Yao wants Sisi to protect the Queen, and Sisi promises you that she will do her best to protect her. "
After receiving Li Sixu's promise, Yao Chong smiled weakly, and then looked at Yao Yi who was guarding the bedside.
"What I want to say as a father has been explained clearly when I woke up in the past few days. There is only one thing that makes me uneasy."
"Zhang said that he has returned to Beijing. He has an old grudge with his father, but everyone has weaknesses. This man likes playing with utensils very much. After my death, he will definitely come to pay my respects. Remember to save the few things I have. The utensils are displayed in front of the spiritual tent, Zhang said to ignore them, you should arrange your family affairs quickly, otherwise the whole family will be destroyed."
"If Zhang said that he should take a closer look at the objects on display, and that you would not regret the dead objects, he would send those items to his house for me and ask him to write an inscription for me. After a few days, he would definitely regret it. You show him the carved inscription and report it to the emperor."
Li Sixu only saw the side of Yao Chong as a virtuous minister who understood righteousness and worked for the people. She never expected what he said to his son in the end. She was afraid that Zhang Shuo, who had an old grudge against him, would retaliate against the Yao family.
It can be seen that it is not that simple to be able to become an official and become a minister. He is indeed a man of great wisdom.
On the surface, these words were spoken to Yao Yi. Could it be that he and Zhang Shuo had crossed paths several times, and Zhang Shuo had accepted her favor, and it was hard for him to seek help from him, so he turned these into words for Yao Yi at the last moment. come out.
This hand almost made Li Sixu burst into tears, and she quickly held Yao Chong's skinny hand in response.
"Don't worry, sir, this matter will definitely be dealt with in the middle."
Yao Chong had no regrets in his heart anymore after explaining his funeral details clearly, so he closed his eyes.
Li Sixu knew that it was the last moment, so she decided to use a special way to send off this wise minister of the Tang Dynasty for her father.
She leaned close to Yao Chong's ear: "Sisi wants to tell you a secret. Death is not the end of life, but another beginning."
Before Yao Chong closed his eyes, his eyes became clear for a moment, and he finally understood why the princess was so different at such a young age, and then he closed his eyes with this secret.
When he finally closed his eyes, he left with a smile.
Seeing his father leaving no trace of regret and leaving with a smile at the last moment, Yao Yi was so grateful that he almost knelt down to Li Sixu again.
Li Sixu's eyes filled with tears: "Father is still waiting for Sisi, Sisi takes the first step."
Taking one last deep look at the remains of this wise minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Sixu walked out of Yao Chong's bedroom. The moment she stepped out of the threshold, she heard Yao Yi's mournful voice coming from inside the house.
Hearing Yao Yi's movements, the Yao family members who had temporarily retreated to a side room to wait because of her father's arrival also burst into tears.
Before Li Sixu reached the gate of Yao Mansion, she and Eunuch Yang accompanied her as escort this time. Li Linhuai, who was guarding the gate of Yao Mansion, heard the mournful cries in the house, thinking that Li Sixu was still in the house, and worried that she would Sad about Yao Chong's passing, he subconsciously approached the stone steps and waited for her.
Sure enough, Li Sixu walked out of Yao Mansion listening to the deep and mournful cries in the mansion. When she crossed the threshold, she was not paying attention and almost fell to the ground.
Li Linhuai, the left guard's assistant, jumped towards her and held her firmly at the moment before she fell to the ground.
Thinking of Yao Chong's instructions before he died, Li Sixu's nose felt sour: "Sir, Master Yao is gone!"
"Princess don't cry!"
Li Linhuai patted her back to comfort her: "Master Yao just returned to where he came from."
Eunuch Yang was waiting in the carriage with Xuanzong. He heard the deep and mournful cries coming from the Yao Mansion.
He also saw the moment when Xiao Shi was about to fall, Li Linhuai jumped over and held her firmly.
His Xiao Shi said something, and Li Linhuai patted her back to comfort her.
From the perspective of Emperor Xuanzong, it looked like Li Linhuai was holding the Tenth Princess in his arms. Eunuch Yang said hurriedly and alertly: "Master Yao and the Tenth Princess have been friends for many years. Master Yao passed away, and the Tenth Princess is so sad."
