Chapter 695 The Final Memorial
Wei Zheng was seriously ill, Li Ke didn't dare to delay even the slightest, and hurriedly rode his horse towards Wei's mansion.

In fact, Li Ke really doesn't like Wei Zheng. I'm afraid even Li Shimin, who has always regarded him as a mirror, may not like him. After all, who would like a mirror that always exposes his shortcomings?If this were not the case, Li Shimin in Tang history would not have pushed Wei Zheng's tombstone after his death.

Ever since Li Ke returned to Beijing as a hostage from the Turks, Wei Zheng has always troubled Li Ke, persuaded Li Ke to let him go, and prevented Li Ke from the Northern Expedition. But Ke added a lot of trouble.

But when Li Ke heard the news that Wei Zheng was critically ill, Li Ke felt inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable, because Li Ke knew that when Wei Zheng left, Datang lost more than just a man who could tell the truth and dare to speak the truth. He also lost the conscience of the court. Wei Zheng is unique. After Wei Zheng's death, there will be no such people in the world.

Li Ke rushed to the Wei Mansion with a heart in his heart, seeing that he hadn't seen Su Su outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, knowing that it was still too late for him, he quickly entered the mansion gate and went to look for Wei Zheng.

Li Ke had also visited Wei Zheng in the mansion before, so the servants of the Wei mansion also knew Li Ke, and when they saw Li Ke entering the mansion, they hurried to the inner courtyard to report.

As soon as Li Ke entered the inner courtyard, before reaching Wei Zheng's recuperating room, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. Obviously, before Li Ke came here, Wei's mansion had just boiled a lot of medicinal soup.

"I will pay my respects to the prince." Li Ke entered the inner courtyard, Wei Shuyu, Wei Zheng's eldest son, was already waiting outside the inner door with a group of people from the house, watching Li Ke step forward, bowing down to pay homage.

Li Ke was anxious to see Wei Zheng, so he didn't go to court Wei Shuyu, and came up and said, "Ruxi (Wei Shuyu's name) doesn't need to be too polite, I will go to see Wei Xiang first."

With that said, Li Ke ignored the others and walked straight into the room.

When Li Ke walked into the room, he saw Wei Zheng lying on the bed at a glance, and he couldn't help but felt a burst of grief. At this time, Wei Zheng didn't have the same appearance as before. Although Wei Zheng was not fat in the past, his figure was still moderate. But now Wei Zheng has lost his face, the flesh on his cheeks has been sunken deeply, and he doesn't look like he used to.

Li Ke leaned against the window, looked at Wei Zheng's appearance, and his eyes that had lost all spirit, and said: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, how did Wei Xiang lose so much weight?"

Wei Zheng was a little confused at first, but when he heard Li Ke's words in a trance, he slowly seemed to regain his spirit, and opened his eyes to look at Li Ke. After confirming that Li Ke was in front of his eyes, Wei Zheng struggled to get up. I want to greet Li Ke.

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly supported Wei Zheng, put him down slowly, and said, "Wei Xiangran is sick, so there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Prince." Wei Zheng thanked him and lay down again.

Li Ke sighed and said: "This palace is under the order of my father to supervise the country. I dare not neglect everything. I have been so busy dealing with the affairs of the middle school these days. I will visit the house in the next few days. I never thought that it would be such a field."

Wei Zheng said slowly: "If the old minister is sick and weak, unable to do his best, and unable to share the prince's worries, I hope the prince will not be blamed."

Li Ke said: "What did Prime Minister Wei say? Prime Minister Wei is the pillar of the country. When you get sick, you should give priority to recuperation. Others will take care of the affairs of the court and China, so don't worry."

Wei Zheng asked Li Ke: "The prince, do you have the latest news about His Majesty's Eastern Expedition?"

Li Ke said: "Father has already captured the city of Liaodong, so he will go south to Anshi in a short time, and he will occupy Liaodong after he captures Anshi."

Wei Zheng listened to Li Ke's words, he didn't comment on Li Ke's words, but forced himself to take a memorial from his pillow tremblingly, and said to Li Ke: "The old minister is not ready, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until His Majesty returns. It's been a day in Beijing, and this memorial will be handed over to His Majesty on behalf of the old officials."

Although Wei Zheng's voice was weak, his tone was very firm, and there was still a bit of stubbornness in his eyes. Even without looking, Li Ke could guess what was said in Wei Zheng's memorial, and it must be about Dongzheng.

Wei Zheng always believed that it was useless to win Liaodong, and opposed Li Shimin's personal conquest of Liaodong. Wei Zheng was extremely stubborn and would not change in such a short period of time.

For Wei Zheng's actions, Li Ke was not too surprised. Wei Zheng's temperament has always been like this, as long as it is something he feels is right, he will not take Li Shimin's feelings into account.

Li Ke didn't mention Wei Zheng's memorial, but said to Wei Zheng: "The spring silkworms will die when the silkworms die, and the wax torch will turn into ashes and tears will dry. state affairs."

"The spring silkworms are exhausted until the silkworms die, and the wax torch turns to ashes and tears dry. Good poems and good sentences. The old minister has been an official in the court for many years. He has offended many people. He has also disobeyed the prince. Unexpectedly, at the end of his life, he can still To be judged by the prince's words, this life is not in vain." Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke and smiled at Li Ke.

Li Ke just blurted out a sentence, without thinking too much, unexpectedly Wei Zheng would take his words seriously, Li Ke said: "I just said something casually, making Xiang Wei laugh."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "The talent of the prince has always been highly respected by the old ministers. The old ministers think that the prince's poems are not as gorgeous as those in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but simple and natural. This is the way to great success. It is better than Xue Daoheng to create a style of writing for a generation. There are many generations."

Li Ke is the Duke of Wenchao, but Wei Zheng's reputation was so high when he said it casually, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed on his face for a while, Li Ke said: "This palace just got it by chance, and Wei Xiang praised it absurdly."

Li Ke is a humble word, but Wei Zheng's praise of Li Ke is so useless. Wei Zheng continued to Li Ke: "If the essays are talented, the crown prince will beat the king of Wei by a lot, but it is a pity that the crown prince is violent and obedient. Wu, I really feel sorry for the veteran."

As soon as Wei Zhengzhi's words came out, Li Ke didn't know what Wei Zheng wanted to express. Wei Zheng always valued literature and despised martial arts. Now that the spring and autumn are coming to an end, I'm afraid he also wants to use this opportunity to persuade Li Ke again.

Li Ke lowered his head, and was not in a hurry to reply to Wei Zheng's words. Wei Zheng watched Li Ke fall silent, and said to Li Ke with difficulty: "The prince is a smart man, so he can naturally guess what is written in the old minister's letter."

Li Ke nodded and said: "Wei Xiang is upright, if one remonstrance fails, there will be another remonstrance. You don't need to read this memorial, I can guess it."

Wei Zheng supported himself and said to Li Ke: "This memorial written by the old minister is not only for His Majesty, but also for the crown prince. The crown prince is the crown prince. The future king is very important. He should know the current state of the Tang Dynasty. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present After years of fighting, the people are exhausted now, so we should rest with the people, put more emphasis on literature and less on martial arts, this is the right way."

"cough cough"

As Wei Zheng spoke, he was obviously agitated, his chest was heaving up and down, and he was coughing hastily.

Seeing Wei Zheng, who was dying but still caring about state affairs, Li Ke couldn't bear to hurt him again. Li Ke quickly responded: "What Wei Xiang said is that the Tang Dynasty has fought hard for a long time. In the future, we should cease the war and make peace. Wenzheng, rest with the people, this is what I discussed with Master Cen."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng slowly revealed a smile on his face. Cen Wenwen is also a civil servant, and he also values ​​literature. When Li Ke ascends the throne in the future, Cen Wenwen will definitely govern in the name of the emperor's teacher. If Cen Wenwen participates, it will naturally be true .

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "It's so good, it's so good."

After speaking, Wei Zheng slowly and permanently closed his eyes.
