Chapter 46 Emperor Jing’s death

Weiyang Palace, Yilan Palace.

Emperor Jing lay on the soft couch, his face was sallow and his breath was weak, and he was already terminally ill. His originally bright eyes were dull and dull, and he also lost a lot of weight.

"Woooo!" Looking at Emperor Jing, Empress Wang recalled the happy time she was with Emperor Jing and couldn't help but cry.

Liu Che was beside him and hurriedly comforted Queen Wang: "Mother, don't cry, there will be no trouble!"

"Yeah!" Although Queen Wang nodded, she cried even more sadly.

Even he himself didn't believe Liu Che's words. After saying a word of comfort, tears had already flowed out.

Emperor Jing slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "Transfer to Zhou Yafu."

"Father, please rest with peace of mind. If you have something to do, let me talk about it later." Liu Che hurriedly advised.

"No!" Emperor Jing shook his head slowly and said, "Che'er, I don't have much time for my father anymore, I don't have much more! Some things must be done! I can't leave them to you, Zhou Yafu is just one. Quick!"

Emperor Jing's voice was very soft, but there was no doubt that Liu Che was extremely reluctant to do his job, so he had to act according to the order. Chuntuo hurried away, and soon he led Zhou Yafu in.

When Zhou Yafu saw Emperor Jing's face, he thudded and knelt on the ground, used his hands and feet, walked forward with his knees, held them on the edge of the couch, and cried loudly: "Emperor! Emperor!"

Emperor Jing and Zhou Yafu had extraordinary feelings for the monarch and ministers. Although they had differences, although Zhou Yafu was not good at governing and repeatedly damaged Emperor Jing's major events, this relationship did not weaken, but instead became deeper.

When Emperor Wen of Han died, he held Emperor Jing's hand and said, "If the country is in trouble, look for Yafu." Zhou Yafu was not famous at that time, but he was a entrusted important minister. Later, the rebellion of the seven countries broke out, Emperor Jing wanted troops but no soldiers, and generals. Thinking of Emperor Wen of Han's words, he decisively used the unknown Zhou Yafu, which led to Zhou Yafu, a famous general who has been famous for all ages.

For Zhou Yafu, Emperor Jing had the kindness of knowing and transforming him from an unknown general to an important official in the world. This feeling is far beyond the description of his writing.

Now, Emperor Jing's dragon's body is getting worse and worse, and he can't stand much time. Zhou Yafu thought of all the things between the king and his subjects, and couldn't help but feel sad and crying very sadly.

"Zhou Yafu, please keep your mouth shut." Queen Wang was busy reminding.

"Cry!" Emperor Jing was very pleased to hear Zhou Yafu's crying from the bottom of his heart: "Zhou Yafu, the sadder you cry, the happier I am. Come, sit next to me." Emperor Jing slapped his right hand on the edge of the couch, trying hard to sit up, but he was powerless. Liu Che hurriedly helped Emperor Jing sit up and put a soft cushion on Emperor Jing's back.

Emperor Jing stretched out his thin right hand, held Zhou Yafu's hand, and smiled and said, "Zhou Yafu, we monarch and ministers, don't know what future generations will judge? The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms begins. I want soldiers but no soldiers, and I have to call you, the unknown General Xiliu, a general. I have to put together everything and give you tens of thousands of troops. At that time, I have no idea whether you can quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. You are worthy of being a general and did not disappoint me. It took only three months to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. Very good! Very good!"

"Cough cough!" Speaking of this, Emperor Jing couldn't help but coughed rapidly. Liu Che hurriedly massaged his back. After a slowdown, Emperor Jing's anger came over and said, "But, you are not good at governing and have ruined my major affairs several times. I have the will to kill you. However, you are a very good general in war and are a rare general. It's a pity to kill you, and I can't bear it."

"Emperor!" Emperor Jing said heartbrokenly, Zhou Yafu was so moved that he cried even more sadly.

"Fortunately, you have a good son. Zhou Yang solved many problems for you, so that you can get through it safely." Emperor Jing smiled and patted Zhou Yafu's hand, saying, "Zhou Yang can fight, and his military service is not inferior to you. He is still so young. He has more time to gallop on the battlefield, and he will make more great achievements. If you have such a son, what else can't be satisfied?"

When Zhou Yang was mentioned, Emperor Jing's face showed a warm smile. If it were not for Zhou Yang, he would not have been able to wash away the shame of Emperor Gaozu, and the humiliation of Queen Gao would not have been as good as it is now, and the hope of defeating the Huns would not be so great.

Zhou Yafu was very happy to Zhou Yang, his beloved son, and he agreed with Emperor Jing's words and nodded. In life, if you have such a tiger son, why would you regret it?

"You are a straight-tongued person. If you don't understand, I will just say it to you in a blunt way." Emperor Jing continued, "I'm summoning you to you today, not to increase your rank, nor to use you, but to depose you!" The light flashed in Wushen's eyes, staring at Zhou Yafu.

"But on the emperor..." Zhou Yayu was in deep pain and didn't react for a moment. He was halfway through his words before he woke up. He thought he had heard it wrong, and his eyes widened and looked at Emperor Jing in disbelief.

"Do you think you heard it wrong?" Emperor Jing suddenly raised his voice, but unfortunately he was not strong enough, and he was still a little low: "You heard it right! I want to depose you, and I will never use it!"

"Uh!" Zhou Yafu's mouth was filled with teeth, so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

Zhou Yafu was a famous general of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yang's biological father, Emperor Jing's relatives, or a hero. In any case, when he defeated the Huns, Emperor Jing should use him more. How could he be dismissed or the kind that he would never use to rush to the end? Zhou Yafu couldn't figure it out no matter what.

"You must think that I am ruthless and mean and ruthless." Emperor Jing smiled and said, "I have to think about it before. The reason I didn't do this before was because I was still there. I have not had time, so I have to do it. You are a rare general, and Zhou Yang is the same. You and your father and son can gallop in the desert and lead the army to defeat the Huns. However, you are over 60 years old, and Zhou Yang is only in his twenties. Do you think it is better to make meritorious contributions or to make Zhou Yang a contribution?"

Zhou Yafu was half-in-lawed, and he was not as good as Zhou Yang's contribution. Zhou Yang was young and could make the Han Dynasty prosperous for a longer time, while Zhou Yafu was just his own. This choice was very obvious.

"There is another way, that is, let both of you father and son go to the battlefield, but, in this way, after you father and son make great contributions, how will the court reward you?" Emperor Jing frowned: "You Zhou family has been three generations of generals. If you defeat the Huns again, I will not be able to reward such a worldly contribution. By then, your Zhou family is likely to be above me. Although I don't want to, I have to attack your Zhou family!"

Imperial power cannot be challenged. When rewards are undesirable, the emperor can only kill the heroes.

The Zhou family, from the time of Zhou's erection, was a famous family. If Zhou Yafu and Zhou Yang and his son joined forces to defeat the Huns, it would be a great achievement. The light shines brightly and will cover the glory of the emperor. Even if the emperor does not want to, he will have to take action.

"Huh!" Zhou Yafu's heart was beating wildly, and cold sweat oozed out like water.

Emperor Jing was telling the truth. Zhou Yafu would not understand this principle. He was almost scared to the ground and stammered: "Emperor, my minister, my minister..." He stuttered so much that he couldn't even say anything.

"You know how to be afraid, that's good!" Emperor Jing nodded in admiration and said, "You, father and son, can only go to the battlefield. If you go to the battlefield, Zhou Yang cannot go. If Zhou Yang goes, you have to be dismissed. Zhou Yafu, you find a licence and submit a letter to resign!"

"No!" Emperor Jing said this, but Zhou Yafu dared not object: "What a pity, I, Zhou Yafu, have the responsibility to defeat the Huns, but cannot gallop on the battlefield!"

"If you are unwilling to give up, why am I willing?" Emperor Jing sighed: "Now, the situation is so good. As long as the Han army arrives, the Huns will be destroyed. However, I don't have much time left and I can't see that day! Heaven? Life?"

The Huns have always been a huge rock hanging above the head of the Han Dynasty. They may be smashed down at any time. How many people work hard to move to this huge rock. Needless to say, Emperor Jing and Zhou Yafu, there are also Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Fang, Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Emperor Wen, Jia Yi, Chao Cuo... countless, and it can be said that countless passionate patriots, even Empress Lü is here.

When it comes to the end, I find that I can't participate and no one will be willing to do so.

However, God is so destined to be like this, and we must accept our fate!

"Oh!" Emperor Jing sighed, shook his head, abandoned his regret, and then said, "Father and son are one, although I cannot complete it, I will complete it completely, that is, I will complete it, and I will have no regrets! Zhou Yafu, you and Zhou Yang are father and son, when he goes to the battlefield, it is your battlefield, and he makes meritorious, and you will make meritorious. Don't compete for merit with Zhou Yang."

"Your Majesty, I have no desire to compete, I am just feeling!" Zhou Yafu hurriedly defended.

"Zhou Yafu, you are unemployed and not lonely at home. Zhou Yang has added four grandchildren to you. You can enjoy your grandchildren and enjoy your old age!" Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Go!"

"No!" Zhou Yafu received the order, stood up, bowed to Emperor Jing, and turned around one step and three times, reluctant to leave. As soon as he left Yilan Palace, Zhou Yafu could no longer hold it back and started crying loudly.

"This Zhou Yafu, isn't this intention to quarrel?" Queen Wang looked at Emperor Jing lovingly and became resentful.

"Let him cry! A man doesn't cry easily, but it's not time to be sad!" Emperor Jing waved his hand to stop Empress Wang from complaining: "Zhou Yafu is loyal to me and has no other intentions. He is the most loyal to the civil and military officials in the court. I am about to go to great lengths, and he feels uncomfortable."

Emperor Jing smiled and said, "I have such a minister, and this emperor did not do it in vain!"

Queen Wang wanted to say something else. Emperor Jing waved her hand and asked her to retreat. She turned her head to look at Liu Che and said, "Che'er, do you understand the intention of the father?"

"Father, my son understand!" Liu Che nodded slightly: "Father wants to protect my brother-in-law and the Zhou family!"

"Yeah!" Emperor Jing nodded in admiration and said, "Che'er, it's good that you can understand. Don't use it for Zhou Yafu anymore, let him live forever! But you must treat him well, he is the most loyal minister of the father!"

"Don't worry, Father, I remember!" Liu Che hurriedly agreed.

"Zhou Yafu, I have to owe you! I can't pay this debt. Just beside the nine springs, let's continue the relationship between the king and the minister." Emperor Jing said with emotion: "I have no choice! The Zhou family's contribution is already great enough, and it cannot be greater. Once it exceeds the limit, problems will arise. For the sake of Zhou Yang and the Zhou family, Zhou can only be wronged!"

After Emperor Jing sighed, he couldn't help but smile: "I have to blame Zhou Yafu for not once or twice. If you have to blame him for once, it's no big deal! Haha!"

The next day, Zhou Yafu submitted a letter to resign, and Emperor Jing immediately approved.

"Smile!" Zhou Yang hugged his young son and started teasing with a smile, with a loving smile on his face, and his eyes were full of loving expressions.

"Wow!" The little guy not only did not laugh, but instead cried with a loud voice.

"I am worthy of being my son, and my crying sounds are so loud!" Zhou Yang did not feel thick-skinned and boasted himself.

"Let go!" Wei Zifu shouted hurriedly.

"What to put? My son, I have to hug you." Zhou Yang was not willing to put down his beloved son, and hugged him tighter.

"He is anxious to pee. You don't know, you will know how to make fun of it." Wei Zi hurriedly explained the whole story.

"Empty pee?" Zhou Yang had a way of fighting, but he was not good at taking care of babies. If Wei Zifu hadn't reminded him, he would have never thought of it and said hurriedly: "Peep! Pee!"

Before he could prepare, the little guy came out as soon as he urinated. He sprayed Zhou Yang's face as if the faucet was turned on. Zhou Yang was so panicked that he turned his head, otherwise he would have been "revelation".

This urine was so good. It wet the stall. Zhou Yang laughed: "What a good son! Even peeing is so strong! You are lucky to marry a wife!"

"Bor!" Wei Zifu chuckled, his pretty face was flying, and he was so shy that he could not speak. He gave Zhou Yang a blank look: "Improper!"

"Master! Master!" Zhou Yang was about to joke, but Chuntuo rushed in quickly, his forehead was covered with sweat, panting, and he was very tired.

"Eunuch Chun, what's wrong with you? I'm coming to my house to collect debts, and I'm running so urgently?" Zhou Yang was a little surprised. This eunuch was very calm and rarely panicked. Zhou Yang had never seen it before.

"Master General, the emperor summons you to the palace, go quickly!" Chuntuo did not care about breathing and hurriedly urged him.

"Emperor?" Zhou Yang's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself that it was not good. Emperor Jing was about to lose his life, otherwise Chuntuo would not be so urgent.

"Next." Zhou Yang handed his beloved son to Wei Zifu and said, "Where is Nangong? Should she enter the palace?"

"Go all!" Chuntuo's face was tragic, and tears almost rolled out.

Zhou Yang didn't bother to say much and hurriedly found Princess Nangong. Princess Nangong's body had not yet recovered. Zhou Yang originally didn't want her to know, but as the daughter of Emperor Jing, she had to know that this was a great way of human relations and nothing could be done about it.

When Princess Nangong saw Zhou Yang and Chuntuo's anxious situation, she immediately understood that the time for Emperor Jing to die was not far away, so she couldn't help but sobbed and followed Zhou Yang into the palace.

The three of them rushed to Weiyang Palace, entered the palace, and headed straight to Yilan Palace.

As soon as we arrived at Yilan Palace, we saw Zhang Piqi, Shen Gong, Zhufu Yan, and Dong Zhongshu, all the important civil and military officials. They stood in the hall, each with sad expression on their faces, and their hands were tightly clenched, but no one spoke.

When they saw Zhou Yang coming, they just nodded to Zhou Yang and did not bow as usual. Zhou Yang nodded slightly, saying hello and followed Chuntuo in.

After stepping in, Emperor Jing leaned against the soft couch, his face turned black and his breath was weak, and he might be cut off at any time. Zhou Yang's heart was thumping, and Emperor Jing's death was right in front of him.

"Father!" Princess Nangong cried out with a wow sound, pounced on her, hugged Emperor Jing tightly, and tears poured out like water.

"Okay! OK! OK!" Emperor Jing said three good words with difficulty and said softly: "Nangong, if you can come, your father is happy! You go out first, your father has something to say."

Princess Nangong was extremely reluctant, but the big thing was important, so she had to let go of Emperor Jing and left the house with Chuntuo's support. Outside the house, Princess Nangong's low crying sound came.

Emperor Jing smiled slightly at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang walked to the couch and was about to see him. Emperor Jing spoke out and stopped him: "Don't be polite, there is not much time left, listen to me."

His eyes passed by Prince Liu Che and Zhou Yang. Before the sickbed, they were the two of them.

Emperor Jing trembledly opened a gold-painted box beside him, took out a bunch of silk, spread it out, and said softly: "This is the will of Emperor Gaozu, the bloody edict of Emperor Gaozu. After the siege of Pingcheng, Emperor Gaozu never forgot to avenge the shame. However, the national strength of the Han Dynasty has not been restored and cannot avenge the shame. Before Emperor Gaozu passed away, he wrote this edict with his finger blood! After the great victory of the Great Wall, the shame of Pingcheng had been washed away, so there was no need to pass it down. I thought about it before and after, it would be better to pass it down. Cheer, you must pass on this edict so that the kings of future generations remember that the world of the Han Dynasty was not easy! The prosperity of the Han Dynasty today was because the emperors of all dynasties endured humiliation and were required to remember that the difficulties of the ancestors' entrepreneurship were difficult!"

"Yeah!" Liu Che nodded slightly, tears came out, and he cried into tears.

"Break the Huns!" Emperor Jing's voice became lighter and he kept coughing. Zhou Yang hurriedly massaged Emperor Jing's back: "Che'er, the Huns must be defeated! If you cannot defeat the Huns, you must not enter the high temple!"

The sound is not loud, but it is extremely firm and unquestionable.

Not allowing Liu Che's spiritual position to enter the high temple is unfilial and the heaviest punishment for the emperor. Liu Che nodded and said, "Don't worry, Father, my son will definitely defeat the Huns and restore peace to the Han Dynasty!"

"Yeah!" Emperor Jing was relieved, nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Yang, and said, "Zhou Yang, you are the descendant of the hero and my son-in-law. You are good at using troops, good! Not bad!"

"This is all the cultivation of the emperor! Without the cultivation of the emperor, Zhou Yang would not be today!" Zhou Yang was very grateful to Emperor Jing for his kindness. Zhou Yang had never thought that one day he would lead the troops to defeat the Huns and achieve unparalleled achievements. This is all the time Emperor Jing knew talents with a keen eye and promoted him from an unknown soldier to a commander general.

"Yu Gong, you are a minister; Yu Wen, you are a brother-in-law. You must do your best to assist Cheer and defeat the Huns!" Emperor Jing took Zhou Yang's hand and a smile appeared on his black face: "You have washed away the shame of Pingcheng, and the humiliation of Empress Gao, I am very comforted! I am very comforted!"

Holding Liu Che's hand and stacking it with Zhou Yang's hand, Emperor Jing looked at the two of them for a while, and said with relief: "My son and my son-in-law will definitely defeat the Huns and benefit China! I will die without regrets! No regrets!"
