Han Shizu

Chapter 1333 You Can't Die
Wende County is governed by Xuanhua Prefecture. Although it is sandwiched between the Yanshan Mountains, the terrain is flat and open, with abundant water resources. It is not a prosperous place, but it is also the core town of Yanshan. This is also the logistics base of Yanshan Northwest Customs Defense .

In Wende County, which has four distinct seasons, the seasonal changes are particularly obvious at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, especially for outsiders.It should be the honor of this city. After more than ten years, the emperor came here again and stayed here. The last time was during Qianyou's Northern Expedition. This time, it also originated from the Han-Liao War.

Before the death of Emperor Liu, more than 40,000 elite Han troops had come west and stationed outside the city, resting and waiting for orders.Although it is a prefectural city, Wende City is really not big, and against the backdrop of tens of thousands of troops, it looks even more "thin and small".Fortunately, in the alliance, the banner flying is the Xuanqi of the big man.After Emperor Liu arrived, he set up a bright yellow and bright dragon flag, showing off his might and killing intent.

After all, the Han army stationed in Wende County was mainly composed of soldiers from the Northern Expedition drawn back from Liaodong. Originally, Emperor Liu was unwilling to exhaust the soldiers, but after Tian Zhongjin's plan was reported, he agreed without much hesitation.

Emperor Liu was no longer the deep, rational, humiliating, and shameful Liu Chengyou. Although the Liao army went south this time, although they appeared calm and calm on the surface and responded positively, they hated it in their hearts.

Coupled with the bad news in Mobei, he was even more angry and sensitive, and Tian Zhongjin's plan was in line with Emperor Liu's psychology.Since the Liao army dared to come, then don't think about leaving easily. Passive defense has never been Emperor Liu's style. It is the way to attack proactively, take revenge and strive to annihilate them.

The first thing that Emperor Liu did when he came to Wende was not to inspect the barracks and inquire about the preparations for war, but to go to the county government office to visit Li Chuyun.Since leading the army to take Liu Tinghan back, Li Chuyun fell ill completely, and was unable to recover from the illness, so he was arranged to recuperate in Wende County.

The best doctors, the best medicinal materials, and all the medical conditions that can be provided have been provided, but Li Chuyun's condition is still not getting better.

"Physician Wang, tell me directly, how is Li Qing's condition?" Outside the ward, Emperor Liu asked the good-looking imperial physician, and deliberately lowered his voice: "How long can you last?"

The imperial physician's surname is Wang, who is less than 40 years old, but his medical skills are very good, and he is good at researching and preparing medicinal food. With this, he is unique among the various departments in the imperial medical office. If it is not for the lack of medical management skills and authority The status still has to be raised.

This time also belonged to one of the accompanying imperial physicians, Li Chuyun was seriously ill, Emperor Liu specially sent this Wang imperial physician to come here for a long-term diagnosis and treatment, as a show of favor.

When Emperor Liu asked this question, his eyes were very calm, while the imperial physician Wang hesitated, but decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, Li Shijun is seriously ill from overwork, and he is dying of illness. I am not good at medicine, and it is really difficult to cure. The illness is temporary. It has stabilized, but Yichen estimates that it will be difficult for you to survive this winter."

After finishing speaking, the imperial physician lowered his head, ready to receive the emperor's scolding.In the past, because of the illness of the Empress Dowager and Empress, Emperor Liu made harsh words and threats.When he was ordered this time, Emperor Liu also emphasized that he must be cured, but it couldn't be done.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Liu remained calm and just waved to him: "Go!"

Li Chuyun obviously cannot be compared with the queen mother and empress!

"Resign!" The imperial physician breathed a sigh of relief, and walked away slowly with a doctor carrying a medicine box.

Wende County is probably the best room in the yamen for Li Chuyun to live in and recuperate. It is neat, clean, warm and comfortable, and there are beautiful maids, hardworking servants, ready to serve at any time.

It is a pity that the smell of medicinal soup permeates the air all the time, which destroys the harmony of the indoor environment.It was the first time that Emperor Liu was surprised to see Li Chuyun again after more than a year.

His body was thin, his face was withered and yellow, his eyes were dull and dull, as if there was a lingering breath of death. Although his body was cleaned very well, no one would want to get close to it.

Even Emperor Liu, whose heart is as calm as water, can't help feeling a little turbulent when he sees Li Chuyun like this, especially when he thinks that not long ago, he was sick and led the army northward to rescue Liu Tinghan without hesitation and fear of danger.
For Emperor Liu's visit, Li Chuyun was obviously not mentally prepared. When he saw the emperor, he was stunned for a while before he realized that his eyes regained some light, and he struggled to get up.

"Forget it! Don't move, just lie down!" Knowing what he was going to do at a glance, Emperor Liu hurriedly raised his hand and ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Although physically inconvenient, Li Chuyun still kept his manners: "Your Majesty bowed to me, but I didn't have time to greet you, please forgive me! Let Your Majesty see the dross image of my minister, dirty your eyes, and look at the sea. !"

"Don't say that again! Don't say that again!" Emperor Liu looked at Li Chuyun, who was sitting on a high chair beside the couch, and emphasized in his tone: "I didn't know that Qing was so seriously ill, otherwise I would have been here long ago!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Chuyun murmured, breathing unevenly and in poor condition.

"I don't know what's going on in Shanyang? Did the Liao army retreat?" Before saying a few words, Li Chuyun looked at Emperor Liu and asked.

"It's enough for you to work so hard for the country! Let's recuperate with peace of mind. Military matters will be handled by someone special!" Emperor Liu said in a comforting tone.

Although Li Chuyun was lying on the sick bed, his thinking was still clear, and he shook his head and said: "When your Majesty has not released the ministers and envoys, I was still a shepherd in Shanyang. Now the people in the prefectures and counties are being plundered by Hu Qi, and the enemy has not retreated. How can I be a minister?" Can live in a sick bed”

After listening to the words from the bottom of his heart, Emperor Liu finally showed a touch of emotion on his face, and sighed: "Take the world as your own responsibility, that's exactly what Li Qing said!"

His eyes fell on Li Chuyun's weak and sick face, and Emperor Liu said: "Li Qing, don't worry, I have mobilized the army to encircle and suppress the Liao army, and everything has been prepared. This time, I am lucky to be in charge of the war!"

"Then, I wish the great army of the Han family a complete victory and defeat the Liao army!" Li Chuyun seemed to be relieved, showing a pale smile, and said sadly: "Unfortunately, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to serve Your Majesty again. I will do my best for the Han Dynasty and the people of the world!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu immediately wanted to say words of comfort, but Li Chuyun said to himself: "Although I don't know much about medicine, I know the pain, the disease is deep into the bone marrow, and it is difficult to treat!

It may be a pity to die on the sick bed, but I don't regret it. Before dying, I have contributed a lot of effort to the Northern Expedition, which is enough."

After Li Chuyun said that, Emperor Liu stopped being pretentious, fell silent for a while, and said, "You can't die yet!"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural numbers, and I don't force it!" Li Chuyun seemed to look away.

Emperor Liu stared at him, and said sternly: "I must support you! At least, until Li Jilong gets married, I will definitely see him as a son-in-law!"

"What!" Li Chuyun, who was still in a dying state, felt like he was on hormones when he heard this, and instantly became energetic. He looked at Emperor Liu with surprise and expectation: "What did your majesty say?"

Emperor Liu regained his peaceful attitude, and said: "Li Jilong performed well in front of the Liaodong Army and made some military exploits. Now he is coming to Yuancheng in the southeast of Liaodong to defend against the Koryo army! When the war is over and he returns to the court, I will take care of him Wedding, Shang Zhen's eldest daughter, Liu Jia!"

Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Li Chuyun was even more excited, with tears in his old eyes, he choked up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"So, before they get married, you must not die!" Emperor Liu said forcefully.

"Yes!" Li Chuyun's voice became firmer, but it just gave people a feeling of radiance.

"I remember that Li Chuyun has three sons who are seriously ill. Why is no one serving the decoction in front of the bed?" Before leaving, Emperor Liu suddenly mentioned this matter, a little dissatisfied.

"Li Gong's third son, the eldest son Jilong is in Liaodong, the third son Jixun is still young, and the second son Jihe is working in the capital!" Liu Xi, who was next to Emperor Liu, said that he was familiar with the descendants and relatives of the nobles of the Han Dynasty.

"Let Li Jihe go north and serve as a filial piety!" Emperor Liu ordered without any nonsense.
