Chapter six hundred and thirty-eight words from the heart

Youjing Chen Mansion.

This is the mansion of the Left Pushe Chen Xiaoyi of the Great Zhao Shangshu.

An imperial physician dressed in official uniform said to Chen Xiaoyi's wife: "The Prime Minister's illness has fallen into his bones. We have tried our best to discuss for many days. Please forgive me for the uselessness."

Chen Xiaoyi's wife burst into tears when she heard this and said, "Doctor, I beg you to save my husband's life no matter what."

Chen Xiaoyi's wife said several times, but the imperial doctor just lowered his head and looked helpless. Chen Xiaoyi's wife immediately covered her face and cried.

In the evening, Chen Xiaoyi's wife brought a bowl of medicine into the house, her eyes still red.

But Chen Xiaoyi lay on the bed and saw his wife and said, "Don't decoct medicine anymore, waste these precious medicinal materials."

Chen Xiaoyi's wife frowned and scolded: "My husband, this is all given by the palace. If you say such words, it is not a disappointment to the will of Your Majesty and the Queen. The doctor said that your illness is fine and you will only be well maintained for a while. However, even if you do this, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be useless."

Chen Xiaoyi said: "I know my illness myself. What's the use of saying this?"

Chen Xiaoyi's wife quietly wiped her tears and said, "It's now, and her temper is still so tight. She has been tightening with me for more than ten years."

Chen Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "I treated you badly. Now I have to take another step first. The life in the future will be hard for you."

After hearing this, his wife finally couldn't help but shed tears and fell on Chen Xiaoyi's knees and cried. Chen Xiaoyi stroked his wife's long hair and said, "I can never tie this hair on your head for you again. Qingluo, your hair looks so beautiful, I will never see enough in my life."

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoyi couldn't help but chant: "After cutting the cloud hair, the man also divided his hair. He looked for no one and tied it into a knot with the same heart. This poem was written by you and I was newly married back then, and I still remember it."

His wife said, "Husband, you, my husband and I have a hair tie. Do you know the meaning of a hair tie, and you will live and die together."

Chen Xiaoyi sighed after hearing this: "How could I not know that my wife must not be forgotten. My kindness and love are deep."

After saying that, the couple held their hands tightly together, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoyi paused and said, "After a person dies, it is finally time to make a final decision. I, Chen Xiaoyi, serves two dynasties and three emperors in this life. Although I have no contribution to this, I can still say that I am worthy of being proud of myself. It is just a pain for you."

The wife said, "My husband, what are the two dynasties and three emperors? The one who has the most knowledgeable and favor to you among the three emperors is the current emperor."

Chen Xiaoyi smiled and said, "You can't say that. I was selected by Emperor Gaozu personally. When Emperor Wu, I offended the prime minister Su Wei. I was taken care of by Emperor Wu. I cannot forget the kindness of the two emperors in the previous dynasty because of my kindness today."

The lady said, "But if it weren't for today's son, how many people would know you Chen Xiaoyi?"

Chen Xiaoyi said: "You are right. It's almost time to calculate the time. The emperor should return to Youjing from Luoyang. I wonder if I can see him again. I have a few words to tell the emperor."

While he was talking, the servant outside the door hurried into the house and said, "Master, your Majesty is here."

Chen Xiaoyi said in surprise: "What Majesty has come?"

"Yes." said the servant, "Your Majesty only landed at Youjing Wharf this morning. Later, when he heard that you are seriously ill, he rushed to see you, Master."

Chen Xiaoyi was stunned when he heard this, "Hurry up, help me up, dress neatly, I'm so handsome."

After hearing this, the lady blamed her: "Master, you are so sick, why are you still thinking about meeting the saint?"

Chen Xiaoyi said loudly: "You must not lose your manners in front of you. As the prime minister, I must not be rude as a minister, otherwise it will make people laugh."

After saying that, Chen Xiaoyi was struggling and was about to get up. After hearing the advice, the wife could only put on her official robe.

"My uncle Chen Xiaoyi bows to His Majesty, long live His Majesty."

In front of the central hall, Chen Xiaoyi knelt down to Li Chongjiu and performed the ceremony of three bows and nine bows.

Li Chongjiu immediately stepped forward and helped Chen Xiaoyi up and said, "My dear, why are you getting up?"

Li Chongjiu saw that he had been sick for a long time, Chen Xiaoyi's body was already thin and could not help but feel heartbroken and said, "Who told the prime minister about the news I was coming?"

Chen Xiaoyi's servant knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I."

Chen Xiaoyi said: "It's not his business. It's the humble minister who insists on this. Your Majesty is the king of a country, and the state is in the state. Old ministers should set an example for all officials so that the superiors and subordinates can be respectful and humble."

Li Chongjiu said: "You should recuperate well, how can you say such despicable words? Your illness will be fine."

When Chen Xiaoyi heard Li Chongjiu say this, she burst into tears: "If you have the golden mouth of your Majesty, you will definitely survive."

Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu asked Chen Xiaoyi to lie back on the couch. Chen Xiaoyi said to Li Chongjiu: "I am seriously ill and may not be able to accompany His Majesty to see the day of unifying the world."

Li Chongjiu heard this and blamed him: "I just said I wanted to survive, why did this happen again? You know, Jun Wu joked."

Chen Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have no son and no life. I am not afraid of offending people when I say something, so I hope that your Majesty can listen to some words. Your Majesty uses force to conquer the world, so he valued the power of the merchant clan and foreign army, which made the Great Zhao have today. But I thought for a long time and felt that this is both for the benefit of my Great Zhao and the disadvantage of my Great Zhao."

"Chen Aiqing, what do you say?"

Chen Xiaoyi said: "Not to mention Fanhu, none of our race will have different hearts. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, which makes the foreigners fear submission. Therefore, the foreigners are willing to give advice to Your Majesty. But what if Your Majesty loses checks and balances and becomes more powerful, they may have different intentions and repeat the incident of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. This is the first thing that I am worried about."

"There are also Shang clans, who valued Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo, Wei Chen had no opinion. Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo are both practical people, and they have skills without learning. In recent years, the Great Zhao has been fighting in succession, and has borrowed foreign troops to enter the border many times. They have used countless money and food. If it weren't for Lin, Zhou Erren's Shang clan's support, I, Da Zhao, would have reached a point where there is no rice to cook. But I cannot see his achievements and neglect his mistakes. The Shang clan seeks profits. Wei Chen is not worried at all. They will be detrimental to Your Majesty at the moment, but they are worried that the Shang clans will increasingly conflict with the descendants of the descendants. You must know that the genius controls the monopoly of the people and controls a large number of people and land. These are necessary for the Shang clans. In the future, the Shang clans will grow for a day and conflict with the genius for a day. At that time, the two will form a clan to fight each other. What should Your Majesty deal with it like this?"

Li Chongjiu agreed deeply. Wen Yanbo, Wang Gui, Lin Dangfeng and others would not talk to Li Chongjiu. Only Chen Xiaoyi, who was not from a gentry family, was willing to say this with Li Chongjiu.

Chen Xiaoyi said: "I am a little talented and knowledgeable. Although I understand the problem, I cannot solve it for Your Majesty. I have been thinking for many days, but I have no solution. But I hope Your Majesty will be wary of this in the future."
