Han Shizu

Chapter 163 Death

Next to the octagonal pavilion is a lake pond, the lake surface is densely covered with dried lotus rhizomes, the scenery in spring and summer should be very beautiful, but at this time there is only a ruined scene, the cold wind is blowing, the sound of whimpering is a bit harsh, and the clothes are shattered. It was blowing up, but Liu Chengyou didn't seem to notice it.

At this time, Liu Chengxun, although he smiled gently, was completely different from the feeling he gave Liu Chengyou on weekdays. The feeling of frailty disappeared.The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, Liu Chengyou shook his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"My mind is very clear, never before." Liu Chengxun restrained his smile a little, and sighed: "It's probably because people are dying."

Frowning involuntarily, Liu Chengyou remained expressionless, still looking at Liu Chengxun: "Both parents and brothers hope that elder brother will recover soon, why is elder brother so depressed?"

"My body, I know it myself. Although the imperial doctor said it cryptically, I know that medicine and stones are hopeless." Liu Chengxun said calmly, with a low voice: "Let's take a step first, weary parents mourning, in the future I can't serve filial piety at their knees, but for the Son of Man's sin."

"However, there are still you and Saburo." Liu Chengxun smiled restrainedly, but his face was full of calm.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou didn't speak, but still observed Liu Chengxun, guessing in his heart, what is the purpose of his coming here.

"Ahem!" Affected by the cold wind, Liu Chengxun couldn't help coughing heavily, picked up the wine glass on the case, and wanted to put it in his mouth.Seeing this, Liu Chengyou reached out and held him down: "Brother's body is too inconvenient to drink alcohol."

With Liu Chengxun's strength at this time, he was naturally held down by Liu Chengyou, unable to move, he simply didn't struggle, shook his head, and looked at Liu Chengyou with clear eyes: "Erlang, come and have a few drinks with me, this, maybe it's the two of us. The brothers drink together for the last time."

At this time, Liu Chengxun can be described as free and easy, being watched by him, Liu Chengyou slowly let go of his hand.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Liu Chengxun's mouth bloomed again, he poured a glass for Liu Chengyou himself, and motioned to him.With a numb face, Liu Chengyou raised his glass in response.

"Ahem." After taking a sip of wine, Liu Chengxun was obviously choked up, his face was flushed, but there was no pain in his eyes.

"Erlang should know that I seldom drank alcohol in the past, but since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I have fallen in love with the things in this cup. Do you want to know why?" Liu Chengxun picked up the jug while talking.

Liu Chengyou snatched it over, poured it for him, and poured it for himself.The sound of the wine pouring into the glass was very clear, and it was still steaming, but he didn't answer Liu Chengxun's intention.

He can see that Liu Chengxun is looking for himself to express his heart
"You're still like this!" Liu Chengxun didn't take it seriously, he took a sip of the wine, the blush on his face deepened, and he said to himself: "Use wine to relieve your sorrow. Where does the sorrow come from, Erlang you."

"Erlang, do you know that since the founding of the Han Dynasty, I have been envious and jealous of you as a brother?" Liu Chengxun said to Liu Chengyou with a calm attitude: "I heard that you commanded the army outside and made great achievements in battle. You beat Khitan hard and became famous." The whole world is intimidated by all the troops. In my heart, I don't feel well."

Speaking of this, Liu Chengxun laughed again, a bitter smile, and a little bit ashamed: "As a brother, you actually have jealousy, hostility, and intentions to suppress your younger brother!"

Hearing what Liu Chengxun said, and seeing his remorseful expression, Liu Chengyou's expression finally changed, which made him a little ashamed
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu Chengyou said something unnutritious: "Brother, you drank too much."

This is just two glasses of wine.

Tightening the fur robe tightly wrapped around his body, Liu Chengxun drank another glass of wine, his eyes blurred, and said quietly: "Erlang, I actually know that you want to be the crown prince."

Glancing at Liu Chengyou, seeing that he was holding the wine glass, his face was not moved at all. Liu Chengxun continued: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have always regarded the position of successor as something in my pocket. Until, Erlang you Rise in the ranks."

"Actually, I also have self-knowledge. I am too weak, soft-hearted, and hesitant to act. I am not the king of troubled times. But now the world is ruled by warriors. According to raw materials, the collapse of the world is because people's hearts are in chaos, and they want to be influenced by benevolence. If you calm people's hearts, you can make the world peaceful. However, until now, I have gradually understood how benevolence and virtue can enter people's hearts without the support of force!"

"After entering Bian, the group invited the crown prince to be established. For a while, I wanted to take the initiative to resign and give the position of crown prince to Erlang directly." Liu Chengxun gradually became excited, and took another sip of wine: "However, in my heart There is still such a sliver of hope, I hope that our brothers can work together to protect the great Han country."

"Haha! In fact, I just don't want to part with the position of prince. He is a half-lord who can inherit the Han Dynasty in the future. Cough, cough, cough." Liu Chengxun coughed violently, coughing and laughing, his smile was full of disapproval. His own "hypocrisy" ridicule.

"Seeing that you are in the army and your influence is increasing day by day, someone suggested that I make preparations early."

"It's Yang Bin?" Liu Chengyou finally took the initiative to speak.

Hearing this, Liu Chengxun clutched his chest, his expression gradually calmed down, after thinking about it, he looked serious, but then turned to look at him, and said to Liu Chengyou: "Erlang, although the big man of today has calmed down, there are actually internal and external troubles. The kingdoms in the south are separated, the Khitan blood feud in the north, the Taoist governors have ghosts in their hearts, and the hearts of the people in the world are far from being attached to the big man. Of course, what is more important is that in the court, the veterans of the court are rampant, ecstatic, scrambling for power and profit, and greedy. Blasphemy gathers and becomes wind"

Hearing what Liu Chengxun said, Liu Chengyou's expression became softer, but his elder brother could see clearly.

"The country was first established, and the economy was first established. Everything is based on stabilizing the country. However, with the efforts of father and you, the ills that have already occurred will be eradicated sooner or later." Liu Chengxun warned Liu Chengyou in a tone of confession: "Erlang, I see that you are too cold and harsh in your actions, too strong in character, and too tough in dealing with things. In this troubled world, you should use heavy codes. However, it is not a good thing to do so blindly. In the future, in politics, you should kill less and be more forgiving. , we need to know that military strength is only temporary after all, and only benevolence and morality can make the country long-term peace and stability.”

Liu Chengxun's eyes gradually blurred, seeing him actually teach the way of governing the country, Liu Chengyou felt a little strange in his heart.

"Erlang, you have to promise me one thing!" Suddenly, Liu Chengyou looked at Liu Chengyou expectantly.

"You say." Suspicion flashed in Liu Chengyou's eyes.

"In the future, leave Yang Bin with his life!" Liu Chengxun said quietly: "Yang Bin is an official of the great Han Dynasty. Civil servants are definitely not your opponents. I just hope that you will be more patient and don't be too cruel when you are clearing up these old officials in the Han court, after all, they are heroes of the country."

"Brother, you are joking." Liu Chengyou said warmly.

"You have to promise me!" Liu Chengxun grabbed Liu Chengyou's hand.

At this time, Liu Chengxun's thinking seems to be a little disordered, but his eyes are very bright.Looking at him expectantly, Liu Chengyou nodded slightly.

Liu Chengxun relaxed his body, raised his slightly trembling hand to take the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and looked at Liu Chengyou with great interest: "Erlang, tell me the truth, have you ever thought about taking the crown prince by force?" position?"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's eyes flashed with astonishment, he looked back at Liu Chengxun, and replied simply: "No!"

Liu Chengxun has been paying attention to Liu Chengyou's expression, and when he heard his answer, he laughed: "I believe you!"

"Erlang, do you still remember when you were in Jinyang?"

Next, Liu Chengxun talked about the past events that Liu Chengyou "doesn't remember". He was emotionally nostalgic and sincere, which made Liu Chengyou a little moved.Until, Liu Chengxun couldn't bear the cold.

When leaving Prince Wei's mansion, Liu Chengyou felt a little heavy for no reason.In fact, Liu Chengxun's words didn't have that much influence on him, but he couldn't help but feel emotional.

At the same time, he also knew that Liu Chengxun would definitely not survive this winter.

Tianfu 12 years, winter moon [-], night, rain, wood and ice.On this bleak rainy night, Liu Chengxun, King Wei of the Han Dynasty and Governor of Kaifeng, died.

Emperor Liu Zhiyuan mourned so much that he fainted. After three days of abolishing the court, he ordered the whole city of Tokyo to be dressed in sackcloth and mourning for Liu Chengxun.Liu Chengxun's virtuousness is outstanding in the world, and the people of Tokyo miss him a lot.
