Han Shizu

Chapter 987

"What happened?" Noticing Sun Yanyun's strange expression, Liu Chengyou frowned.

Sun Yanyun lowered his head subconsciously, cupped his hands and said: "The person who came was the military academy under Yannandu Deployment. According to his report, Madu Deployment's old injury relapsed and passed away on the [-]th of this month!"

"What! Say it again!" Upon hearing this, Liu Chengyou turned his head suddenly before he could react, and stared straight at Sun Yanjun, his gaze seemed to be filled with evil spirits, which made people intimidated.

Sun Yanjun bowed lower again, and repeated it carefully.

His face twitched a few times, and Liu Chengyou couldn't help but stroked his forehead. He was slightly agitated, and after a while, he asked, "Where is the messenger?"

"Return to Your Majesty, you are still in the Privy Council, should you summon Qionglin Garden?" Sun Yanyun asked for instructions.

"Go back to the palace!" Liu Chengyou didn't say any more nonsense, got up and walked out.

Behind, Liu Yang, Guo Congyi and other people who also heard the news all looked a little dignified. They looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

The deployment of horses, of course, refers to the emperor's favorite general Ma Quanyi.After the Northern Expedition, due to his meritorious service, the Duke of Fufeng County and Yannan were deployed to take charge of the military deployment of the Han in Yannan Road, to consolidate public security and defend Khitan.

It can be said that after the Northern Expedition, Liu Chengyou gave Ma Quanyi the status and honor that he should have.Of course, there is inevitably Liu Chengyou's partiality in it. After all, Ma Quanyi was the first general to follow him, and after more than ten years, he has never failed his trust.

Ma Quanyi's death also occurred during the Northern Expedition.At that time, he tried his best to perform, fought too hard, fought hard several times, and was injured several times. Especially in the process of capturing Yuguan, he went to the city to observe the enemy's situation and command the battle.Since then, the root cause of the disease has fallen. Although it has been treated and recuperated, it has not been cured, but there are no major problems.

This time he died suddenly, but it was Ma Quanyi who started hunting on the way back after inspecting Yuguan. Not enough, one day passed away.
In the Long Live Hall, the envoy had always heard about Ma Quanyi's death, and Liu Chengyou's emotions were very complicated, including grief, regret, and regret.

Looking at the courier with the white strip still tied on his head, Liu Chengyou waved his hand and told Sun Yanjun: "Give him fifty thousand yuan, and arrange for him to go down and rest!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, please mourn!" In the hall, Wei Renpu, Li Chuyun and others were also there. Seeing Liu Chengyou's sentimentality, they couldn't help persuading.

"He is not yet 40 years old!" Yoo Seung Woo said.

The officials were silent for a while, most of them felt sorry for Ma Quanyi's death, after all, this was a general who died young.After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou said in a calm voice: "Certificate, stop the court for three days, posthumously confer the Duke of Fufeng County as the Duke of Ji, follow Yannan Road, properly handle the funeral affairs, and all expenses will be borne by the government!"

"Yes!"

"I'm tired, you all stand down!" Raising his hand, Liu Chengyou gave orders to the ministers with a disconsolate look.

Seeing that the emperor was in a bad mood, several ministers also retreated tactfully. At the same time, they couldn't help being touched by the friendship between Liu Chengyou and Ma Quanyi.

Because of Ma Quanyi's death, the court in Tokyo obviously added a bit of grief. Of course, this is more of a mourning for the early death of the hero general.

The sun continued to sprinkle the spring light, shining warmly, as if it could dispel the haze.In front of the Long Live Hall, above the steps, Liu Chengyou slumped on a recliner in a lazy posture, shaking slightly.

"Official!"

The queen's voice called him back from his thoughts, he opened his eyes, saw the big talisman, and bowed gracefully.After gesturing to her, Liu Chengyou said, "Sit!"

Dafu also sat down on the chair with an elegant posture, and his body was tightly pressed together, bringing a burst of fragrance and bringing peace to Liu Chengyou.

"Are the officials still mourning the death of Duke Ji?" Dafu reached out, caressed Liu Chengyou's forehead intimately, and kneaded it for him, hoping to ease his emotions.

In fact, Liu Chengyou has already recovered from Ma Quanyi's death. So far, there seems to be nothing in this world that Liu Chengyou can cherish for a long time and cannot let go.Of course, for Ma Quanyi's death, that kind of regret is also true.

However, after hearing what Dafu said, Liu Chengyou still said in a sad tone: "How can you not be sad!"

Opening his eyes, Liu Chengyou looked at the queen, and said to him: "Dafu! Ma Quanyi is different from others, he is not only my subject and favorite general, but also my friend and brother.

In terms of talent, he is not the most outstanding, and in terms of achievements, he is not the highest. However, he was the first general to follow me.In his early years, he was born and died, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he also endured loneliness and worked hard. He became the pillar general of the Beishu.

It can be said that the old man in Jinyang, he is the one who accompanied me the farthest.His passing is certainly a pity, but I was also thinking, knowing that he was injured, why should he be entrusted with the post of border defense and let him suffer from military affairs.If he had been allowed to recuperate for a year or so, maybe it would have been a different result? "

Hearing Liu Chengyou's words, Da Fu was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that Ma Quanyi would have such a high status in the emperor's mind.As if digging and discovering another side of Liu Chengyou, Da Fu thought for a while and said softly: "The deceased is gone, you should not blame yourself too much!"

Seeing his lack of interest, Da Fu took the initiative to say: "Erlang, if you can't bear it, you can treat Duke Ji's descendants kindly!"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou nodded, but suddenly reacted and said, "I heard that he only has one son!"

As he said that, he immediately ordered to Sun Yanjun: "Tell Li Chongju!"

In Weiji, Wu De envoy Li Chongju came in a hurry and spared him from paying homage. Liu Chengyou looked at him directly and asked, "What's the situation with Duke Ji's family?"

Hearing and asking, Li Chongju, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately said: "Return to your majesty, Duke Ji has only one son, named Huaiyu, who is only seven years old. His wife died early, and he has no housewife. Inside, there are only brothers from the two clans!"

Listening to his narration, Liu Chengyou frowned immediately, and said: "So, Ma Huaiyu is now alone and helpless?"

"Exactly!" Li Chongju said.

Liu Chengyou couldn't help sighing, looked at the queen, and said: "It's fortunate that you reminded me, otherwise, even if the title and property that Ma Jialang acquired, as a young orphan, how can he keep it? If the court ignores this matter again, then It is inevitable that it will be stolen by young people and greedy people."

"This Ma Huaiyu lost his father and mother at such a young age. Hearing this, I can't help feeling sorry for him. Erlang, this son is the empress of a hero, so he should arrange it properly!" Da Fu said to Liu Chengyou.

Can't help but nod, pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou ordered: "Decree Youzhou, and when Ji Guogong's funeral is over, escort his son to Tokyo, and I will raise him in front of others!"

"In this way, the Lord of Ji State, if you know, you should rest your eyes in peace, and appreciate your majesty's kindness!" Li Chongju said.

In fact, Liu Chengyou originally wanted to raise his son in the palace by himself, but after weighing it, he still hesitated.In front of the Xuanwu Gate in the northern part of the palace city, the Han court actually had a special establishment called the Zhangde Camp, which specially accommodated the orphans of martyrs who had no one to rely on. Since its establishment, there have been more than [-] people.

Of course, most of these people are descendants of middle and lower rank officers or soldiers.In comparison, Ma Huaiyu was obviously in a special situation, and it was a bit tangled whether to put him in the Zhangde camp for cultivation.

Speaking of it, it is also a bit ironic. Liu Chengyou claims to regard Ma Quanyi as his confidant and brother, but he would ignore the situation in his family.
After dealing with Ma Quanyi's funeral, another matter was placed in front of him, that is, whoever succeeds Yannan will make arrangements.Compared with Shanyang Road, the situation in Yannan is much better, but the court still pays attention to it. After several comparisons, Liu Chengyou finally agreed with the candidate recommended by Murong Yanzhao, the veteran Zhang Xun.As for Li Hanqiong, Ma Renyu and other side generals who were also nominated, their qualifications are not enough.
