This was an ordinary small court meeting. There were very few people attending the meeting, and the matters discussed were not big. The world is now at peace, and there are no major events worthy of the court's attention. It is just a matter of routine every day.
Liu Heng was talking when he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, and then he felt something blurry in front of his eyes. The last memory he had before falling into darkness was Luo Jing's horrified expression.
Luo Jing stretched out his hand to support Liu Heng's body. The other ministers looked frightened at the same time. Liu Che rushed up and also supported Liu Heng's body. Luo Jing said urgently: "Everyone, call the imperial doctor quickly. Your Highness, please come." Don’t leave here, Your Majesty will be fine.”
The ministers worked together to place Liu Hengping on the bed. The imperial doctor came in a hurry and said after looking at it: "Your Majesty has worked too hard and should rest. I will prescribe some medicine for your Majesty to cultivate your health and rest."
The imperial doctor ordered the classic rhetoric.
But Luo Jing didn't believe it. He looked at Liu Heng's pale face and felt increasingly chilled.
Because there are too many symptoms like Liu Heng's in history books, even the more recent Emperor Xiaohui had the same condition.
An accidental fainting, followed by consecutive comas, developed into a state of collapse in a short period of time, leaving the young Liu Heng and the regent King Luo Wen to pass away.
Is his cousin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, about to leave like this?
"Ajing."
Liu Heng's weak voice suddenly came from the bed. Luo Jing heard it clearly, and said with ecstasy on his face: "Your Majesty, I am here, I am here."
The ministers were equally overjoyed to see the emperor wake up. As an emperor, Liu Heng was not as kind as Emperor Xiaohui, but as long as he worked hard and was loyal, he would always be rewarded.
Liu Heng felt that his head was a little swollen, as if he had a big bump after being hit with a sledgehammer.
He forced his eyes open, and then he saw Luo Jing's happy expression with some worry. He smiled and comforted: "A Jing, don't worry, you go out with all your beloveds first. I have something to say to the prince." Tell me."
The ministers were shocked when they heard this. The emperor did not call himself me. Luo Jing's thoughts went back to the two of them when they were children. They were like this at that time. Liu Heng called himself his brother. After the two of them gradually became more sensible, Luo Xin let him The two changed their names until now.
Luo Jing led everyone out of the hall, leaving only the historian quietly in the corner, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones in front of him. Liu Che helped Liu Heng up and said in a trembling voice: "Father, you..."
Liu Heng waved his hands casually and said with an indifferent attitude: "It's just birth, old age, illness and death. King Su's human body will pass away, let alone me. Am I still superior to the supreme King Su?
The theory of ghosts and gods has always been illusory. Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. This is the teaching of the sages, and I think it is right.
I don’t even believe what the immortal alchemists say. If there really is immortality in this world, Ajing will definitely send it to me. If there is no immortality, then there is no immortality!
So I have known for a long time that one day, Emperor Gao would laugh out loud before his death. This is the pride of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, and I must inherit it. "
Liu Che could only nod his head when he heard this. Liu Heng did not dwell on the matter and asked softly: "I am about to die. You will become the new emperor of the Han Dynasty. How will you arrange for the ministers of the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Che was shocked when he heard this. He knew that this was Liu Heng's last wish and immediately said: "Father, the time for my son to succeed to the throne of the prince is too short. It is too short for these important officials in the palace to get to know each other, but according to what the father said .”
Liu Heng glanced at Liu Che and said softly: "Prime Minister Jia Yi, with the talent of a king's assistant, is a rare and capable minister of the country. At the same time, he has an upright character and is an assistant to a majestic monarch. I treat him well, but you have a strong character. If one day you He angered you, and by sparing his life, you have fulfilled the friendship between me and the prime minister."
Liu Heng had finally figured out his son's character. The minister's life would not be easy in the future. Liu Che was a little shocked. He didn't expect that he would have such an image in his father's heart.
That's the Prime Minister!
Could it be that the orphans would yell at the Prime Minister to kill him?
Liu Heng added: "General Zhou Yafu is a good general, but he is old. He will guard you for another ten years at most. There are no outstanding generals in the new generation. It is up to you to choose your own. Remember, if you don't have an effective general, don't do it." You start a war without authorization. I know you like martial arts, but the more you do this, the more you must exercise restraint. You must win the war and don't act out of emotion."
Liu Che is very confident in his strategic planning ability, but Liu Heng is wise and cautious, and it is always safe to be careful.
Liu Heng also talked about many people, such as Jiu Qing, such as Chehou in the army, such as the queen and the queen mother, but he did not mention Liu Qi. Both of them avoided the topic. Finally, Liu Heng talked about Luo Jing.
"You are not very familiar with Dong'ahou, so I'm afraid Dong'ahou will not be as close to the royal family as he is now, but I still hope you can trust him. Dong'ahou and I are as close as one person. With my relationship, Dong'a Hou will still try his best to look after you. Your background is too shallow. He can give you the knowledge you lack most, allowing you to quickly grasp the state affairs. Moreover, Dong'ahou is a minister of Wenhua. As long as you don't ask, he will not express his opinion on the state affairs. , and he has many heirs. Once he dies, both the princely state and the current huge relationship strength will be instantly torn apart. He will not threaten your throne, and he is your most capable assistant."
Liu Che keenly felt the change in Liu Heng's tone of voice. When talking about Dong'ahou, Liu Heng's tone seemed to be talking about his family, which was rarely seen in him.
"Father, don't worry. I always listen to my advice and treat my ministers well. I will definitely continue to use Dong'ahou in high regard."
When Liu Che said this, Liu Heng felt a little uneasy, but at this time it was impossible to change the prince, so he could only say in the end: "There is another person, you must remember not to provoke him."
Zhaogong Mausoleum!
When Liu Heng opened his mouth, Liu Che knew who he was going to say. The only person who could make the emperor feel like he was facing a formidable enemy was the Zhaogong Mausoleum with so many mythical legends.
Liu Heng stared at Liu Che closely, grabbed him hard, and said in a deep voice: "You have not had much contact with the Luo family in your life, but I am different. I was raised by King Luo Wen, and Dong Ahou is by your side, and he knows the Luo family far better than you. King Luo Wen has reminded me countless times that although the Zhaogong Mausoleum is a human body, it really has the ability to conquer the creation of heaven and earth. The only one who can defeat the Zhaogong Mausoleum is time.
After you ascend to the throne of emperor, you must not provoke Zhaogong Ling without authorization. He is already very old and may not be far away from his death. Wait for him to pass away naturally, and the mountain pressing on your head will naturally disappear. I am really worried about you. If you are too arrogant and make Zhaogong Mausoleum angry, then the Han Dynasty will be in danger. "
Liu Che has never seen his father be so serious. The message in his eyes is that if you dare to hesitate at all, your position as prince will be abolished immediately!
Liu Che had no intention of provoking Zhaogong Mausoleum. He sat peacefully in Zhaocheng and did not come out for decades. He paid tribute on time. Who would provoke him? Liu Che was just more arbitrary and arbitrary, not without brains.
Seeing Liu Che's expression, Liu Heng finally felt relieved. As long as he didn't provoke Zhao Gongling, with the prestige of the Han family in the world, nothing big would happen.
Liu Che exited the hall, and after Luo Jing walked in, he ran straight to the bed. Liu Heng smiled and said, "I just talked to the prince."
Luo Jing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Has your Majesty spoken to the prince about me? I know you will definitely tell me."
Liu Heng said with some memories: "It was my father and my mother who gave me flesh and blood, but it was my uncle who gave me spirit. I looked through the history books of the past, and from those sporadic records, I feel more and more how precious my uncle is." , this is my luck.
Now that you have achieved such great achievements, you must have lived up to your uncle's expectations. In the future, A Jing will still have to keep an eye on you as a brother in this world, and others will be worried about you as a brother. "
Liu Che has already reached adulthood and does not need to arrange for an auxiliary minister. This is Liu Heng's personal request to Luo Jing. Then he talked about some things from the two of them when they were young. People always do this when they are about to die. Thinking about the past Things that can't get up keep flashing in and out like flowers on a horse.
As he spoke, Liu Heng's voice gradually became lower. Luo Jing talked to himself, was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked out of the hall. Everyone looked at him, waiting for the next person to be called in.
Then I heard Luo Jing shout loudly with a sad tone: "The sky is falling!"
boom!
Like a thunderous explosion, everyone stood up and filed in. Then they saw the emperor lying there calmly, lifeless.
Then came the wailing that resounded throughout the palace, and the news of the collapse of the sky continued to spread from the main hall to further places. The entire imperial city was grieving for Liu Heng's death. Even in Chang'an City, everyone could not believe it. The kind king left everyone like this.
Amid countless sobs, grand hymns spontaneously sounded, one after another. This is a hymn passed down from the ancient Zhou Dynasty. In the past, it was sung only when the king of the Luo Kingdom passed away. .
…
"The prosperity of the Daxing Emperor has never been seen in ancient times, and his virtues are as high as those of the previous kings. Tai, Gao, Shi and Zhong were regarded as the temple names. The Daxing Emperor practiced Zuo for forty years. In the past, the regent prime minister gave him the posthumous title of 'Wen' , the Daxing Emperor should also be given the posthumous title of 'Jingtianweidi'."
