Han Shizu

Chapter 1591
For Emperor Liu's arrival, the Duke of Yu's Mansion was obviously caught off guard and unprepared. Therefore, after Emperor Liu walked slowly into the mansion, the mansion was still busy and disorderly, as if encountering a leader who made a surprise inspection.

Since he didn't have any preparations, he simply didn't deal with it deliberately. As the guards skillfully occupied the entrance and exit, all the turmoil subsided, and Duke Yu's mansion was immersed in the winter tranquility.

Wei Renpu was very old, and he was accompanied by his third son Wei Xianxin to drive out of the hall. He was indeed plagued by old illnesses, and even bowing down seemed extremely difficult.

"Help up Duke Yu quickly!" Emperor Liu ordered to Yantuo.

Yan Tuo also stepped forward swiftly, and together with Wei Xianxin helped Wei Renpu up, Emperor Liu said: "Your body is against harmony, so there is no need to make such a fuss to greet him in person. Between you and my monarch and ministers, why bother to stick to such common etiquette!"

Although Emperor Liu said so, Wei Renpu did his due courtesy, and his attitude was as usual: "Your Majesty's visit is already an honor for the entire family, and if you don't come out in time, it is already a neglect. How dare you procrastinate and complain about illness?" .”

Seeing Wei Renpu's old and weak appearance, Emperor Liu seemed to have been knocked out of his cold shell, and said to him with a little emotion: "Daoji, you are really old, and your complexion is much worse than it was three months ago. too much!"

Wei Renpu attended the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet three months ago. Although he was old at that time, he was not as old as he is now.At this time, Wei Renpu's face was full of old spots, and he was even thinner. He was not as rich as before, almost weak, but his eyes were still calm and full of wisdom, and his demeanor was still calm and ordinary.

Emperor Liu had already stepped forward and held Wei Renpu's hand. In the eyes of "insiders", this intimacy might be too unreal.

"Everyone dies, and veterans are no exception. Veterans have grown up for more than sixty years and are already content, so how dare they fight against the natural order of nature?" Wei Renpu smiled indifferently in his old voice.

Wei Renpu's hands were skinny and cold, and seeing his calm expression, Emperor Liu immediately praised him: "With such a magnanimity, Daoist is the only one who can help you!"

"Your Majesty is too famous, how dare you be a minister?" Wei Renpu shook his head.

Emperor Liu's words are of course a matter of fact, but he has indeed seen too many veterans, even in death, still obsessed with the world, and Wang Pu is the most prominent one. The lingering sound of the man's last attachment is still there.

Of course, Emperor Liu also selectively adopted Wang Pu's ten rules.

Entering the hall, there was another round of greetings. Emperor Liu said in a tone full of emotion: "Over the years, old people have withered one after another, and many old people have left me. It is quite sad. You have spent more than 20 years with me. We have survived the wind and rain, many hardships and dangers, but today is peace, when you are enjoying the blessings, but the blessings will not last forever, it is embarrassing to think about!"

Hearing this, Wei Renpu also sighed and said: "Your Majesty's care for the old ministers and others, the ministers are really grateful. It's just that the ministers are in troubled times, drifting in the rivers and lakes, but they can meet the sage, follow the British Lord, unify the world, survey the troubled times, and establish immortality. If you can still enjoy this once-in-a-hundred-year peaceful and prosperous age, and get the glory of today, this life is enough!
Your Majesty once said that talented people come out from generation to generation, and the old minister deeply believes that this old minister can tide over the difficulties with His Majesty, and can make great contributions to the big man. When he grows old, he should retire and give way later.

Today, there is no shortage of loyal and loyal people in the court, let alone capable officials. They all gather under His Majesty's command and follow His Majesty, making the big man step into the pinnacle that attracts the attention of the world. It is so magnificent and full of pride, and it is also pleasing for the old ministers to watch from the side.

This is the ambition and goal that has been pursued for many years despite the wind and rain. The achievements have been accomplished and the prosperous age has come.If there is any regret, it is probably due to old illness and dying, unable to accompany His Majesty to go further, unable to witness the more glorious future of the great man."

Hearing what Wei Renpu said slightly, Emperor Liu was also a little moved, his eyes seemed to be red, and said: "Daoji is sincerely speaking, but the meaning is only between the words. After listening to it, I really feel a little desolate and sad. .”

"Your Majesty!" Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Wei Renpu immediately apologized with a wry smile: "People are old and sentimental, and my subjects are too old to be stupid, so I don't know how to speak anymore. Your Majesty misunderstood me."

Hearing this, Emperor Liu also smiled, Wei Renpu's words were very clear in thinking and full of emotion.

Looking at Wei Renpu with a sick face, Emperor Liu said: "Daoji, I have heard about your condition a long time ago, and I have always wanted to visit you in person, but unfortunately, I was worried and couldn't make it.

The reason is that those four words you said are old and affectionate.Clothes are not as good as new ones, people are not as good as old ones, and I am even more unwilling to see the parting of an old official and old friend again.

In the past, I often felt sorry for myself, lamenting my old age and frailty. To tell the truth, it was just pretending, it was a hypocritical attitude. In my heart, how could I really accept old age?
But in recent years, it has become more and more heartfelt, and the more I feel that the passage of time is not based on human feelings. Take my legs as an example. .

The more I understand Li Rugong's pain back then, the more I realize how hard it is for you ministers! "

"Your Majesty, compared with the twilight days of my ministers and others, you are at the peak of spring and autumn, why do you say that!" Wei Renpu's tone already contained some comfort.

Emperor Liu shook his head: "The world is warm and cold, and his heart knows it, and it is difficult to empathize with it! The same is an emperor, some people can be 70 years old, can I be 30 years old?"

Hearing this, Wei Renpu fell silent, and seemed to be at a loss as to how to speak. After pondering for a while, he said: "Your Majesty has worked so hard for the great Han world, and the sacrifice is too great!"

Hearing this, Emperor Liu laughed, and said: "If this evaluation was said 20 years ago, I deserved it, but if it was put in nearly ten years, I would be ashamed! I have to say this to the crown prince and Zhao Pu Then the minister said go!"

Wei Renpu said: "Without Your Majesty's hard work and hard work in the past twenty years, how could there be today's stability? Your Majesty is the pioneer and founder of the Great Han. Without Your Majesty, how could there be today's Great Han?"

"I've heard a lot of compliments and praises, but from the old mouths of you old ministers, I feel more cordial, like drinking fine wine!" Emperor Liu smiled lightly: "After all, only you are the ones who really accompany me all the way. Yes. You always like to attribute great achievements to me alone, but I don't know in my heart, how can I alone be able to defeat and defend such a huge world?
As far as you Wei Daoji is concerned, it is very beneficial for you to follow me from the mansion and offer advice and suggestions. When the country is in trouble, it is also your heartfelt assistance and support.

In this bright world and peaceful world, your contributions and hard work are the greatest. If I pride myself on my abilities, I will be ashamed of it and laugh at you generously!
I am not that Li Cunxu, and I will never be Li Cunxu! "

Wei Renpu echoed: "The Zhuangzong of the later Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a hero of a generation, but he is only a hero for a while. He starts good and ends evil. Compared with your majesty's hero who created peace for all generations, it is really insignificant!"

"Hehe!" Emperor Liu said: "What happened to Li Cunxu should be used as a lesson, and I always remind myself not to repeat the same mistakes. However, you still praise me too much, and the peace of the world is beyond the reach of a saint." If I can do it, how can I do it?"

A conversation quietly turned into Emperor Liu's emotions. Wei Renpu's careful agreement was a little hypocritical and rather boring. Emperor Liu wanted to find the harmony between the monarch and his ministers, but it was difficult to return to the beginning.

It's not that Wei Renpu and the others betrayed Emperor Liu, it's just that Emperor Liu was already too aloof, so high that it was difficult for Yuan Cong Sujiu to get close, and he didn't dare to get close.
