The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 49

However, on that day, in Chengqian Palace, there was a miserable wind and bitter rain, and the maids in the palace were all in a hurry, coming in and out, and the imperial doctors took medicine boxes and shuttled through the period.In the middle of the night, the inside and outside of the hall are brightly lit.

The ministers were all waiting anxiously outside the side hall. King Yan has been bedridden for more than ten months since he was injured while hunting in the Xibi field.

In the early morning of the second day, the palace ordered attendants to send an order to the left-behind ministers in the capital, no matter what happened, they had to go to the palace to enter the court.

Today, the gate of Dragon City has been closed tightly since the moment the minister entered the palace.The sky was extremely gloomy, the city was banned in Yandu, and people were not allowed to go out between Lifang for no reason. The number of guards patrolling Yan Street was more than double that of usual times. Do not pass.The inspection inside and outside the palace is now strict, and the concubines of the harem and the children and grandchildren of the princes have already been called in the Chengqian Palace early in the morning.

All the ministers have been waiting in the side hall since the beginning of Mao, and now it's past time, and everyone is hungry, but there are guards guarding the gate of the hall, no one is allowed to go out.

Everyone sat there, bored, Yang Wu chatted with Feng Yi: "Master, it seems that King Yan won't make it through today."

Feng Yi sighed slowly, "He has his own destiny, at the time of fifty-two spring and autumn, he is still in the year of knowing his destiny, what a pity."

Yue Wan frowned. He used to be the general of Pingxi. After learning that King Yan was hunting Xibi that day, he accompanied him. After the accident, he escorted King Yan back to the capital and stayed in the capital. , I once heard rumors: When my master was hunting Xibi, he was about to cross the river, but saw an old man dressed in red clothes, riding a white horse, raised his hand to the king of Yan and said: "This is not a hunting place, the king will return it." Later It passed by in a flash, King Yan didn't pay attention to it, so he crossed the river and gained a lot for several days. Suddenly he saw a white rabbit, rode his horse and shot it, and the horse fell down and was injured, so he told everyone about it."

Han Huan said to himself: "White rabbit, white rabbit, Zhao Wang Shihu is also a man of Yimao, who belongs to rabbit." Han Huan sighed, "Isn't it God's will? I watch the sky at night and know that Shi and Zhao will be destroyed. The king was wounded by him, wailing, what is the big deal?"

Huang Hong, a Zhonglang in charge, said: "Fortunately, among the sons of Yan State, there are many who are brave and good at fighting, and are good at managing government affairs. It can be said that there are a large number of talents, which has never existed in ancient times. From my point of view, the great cause of Yan State's southward travel will not stop suddenly. "

Huang Hong had always been an important post in the Qing Dynasty, he was the official historian, and he was also familiar with historical records and astronomy. This time, he was also called to enter the palace to wait for the call.

Hearing these words, all the ministers were relieved from their worries, Huangfu really bowed his hands to him and said: "Huang Zhonglang, whether he is in the game or not, the onlookers will know."

King Yan's bedroom was covered by curtains, and only Uncle Ping served indoors.Outside, Shizi is manipulating the decoction.

"Ahem, Uncle Ping." King Yan suddenly opened his eyes on the couch, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, upon seeing this, Uncle Ping rushed forward to hold it.

King Yan tried his best to squeeze out a few words: "Duan Xian, has Duan Xian set off yet?"

"Let's go. We set off a few days ago. We should arrive at Tuhe today."

"Okay, okay, let Ba'er get married quickly, and be a father and let go of his worries. Now that things have changed drastically, Gu can no longer protect him. After I die, let him not have to go to the funeral, and he can return after everything is over. Both. Also please ask Song Bin to do...cough cough."

While wiping his tears, Ping Bo comforted King Yan and said: "Yes, this old slave has already made arrangements, King Yan can rest assured."

King Yan looked up to the sky and exhaled: "He won't blame his father for being heartless?"

"No, King Yan has far-reaching plans for Ba'er, Ba will certainly understand, and Duan Xian will definitely persuade him from the sidelines."

King Yan slowly closed his eyes, a tear flowed across the corner of his eyes, Ping Bo hurriedly touched his nose, it was okay, but fell asleep again.

After a while, the son of the world entered. "Father, it's time for the soup." Murong Jun waited on his bedside.

King Yan opened his eyes and looked at Shizi for a long time.I saw that he had been undressed for several days and couldn't sleep at night, his unkempt hair and face had aged a lot.

King Yan looked up weakly and sighed: "Jun'er, Gu didn't say much praise to you before, I feel sorry for my father, cough cough."

Jun'er has always been serious, his brows furrowed suddenly, and at this moment, his face also showed a rare expression of sadness, and said sadly: "Father, for a king, you should not show your emotions, likes and dislikes, like a king. Sea, my son knows it well."

"The time when you were established as the son of the world was when the country of Yan was in turmoil, so that your uncle Murong Ren could not usurp the throne. Fortunately, relying on the spirit of the ancestors, we put down the rebellion and chaos, and finally our country of Yan regained its prosperity. Jun Son, you have a lot of grudges in your heart, complaining that your father beat you so much, complaining that the position of the son of the world is an expedient measure, and complaining that your mother is the daughter of the Duanbu, and you have been reprimanded by your father. Cough cough."

After hearing this, Murong Jun couldn't stop crying, "My lord, don't talk anymore. My lord, my lord should take care of my health, and I have to rely on my lord for important affairs of the Yan Kingdom."

The King of Yan sighed, "Your calm waters run deep, and you will be able to control the situation well. The only regret in my life is that the Central Plains are not peaceful."

King Yan beckoned to Uncle Ping with difficulty, and asked all the ministers to enter the room to listen to the imperial edict.

King Yan called out, "Secretary."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the Prime Minister Feng Yi prostrated himself on the ground, knelt down in front of King Yan's couch, and cried bitterly: "My Majesty, I cannot follow your Majesty to rule the world."

"Wang Ye was not halfway and died in the middle way." King Yan held Feng Yi's hand with difficulty, and then took his son Murong Jun, so that their hands were tightly held together, and said to his son: "Today, the Central Plains is not Ping, Fang Zi Xianjie will manage the affairs of the world, so our country of Yan will not repeat the same mistakes."

Murong Jun nodded solemnly, "Father, I understand."

The King of Yan looked at Feng Yi and said, "Prime Minister Feng, you and I have known each other for decades, and you have entrusted your family to support each other. You will not let me down, and I will not let you down. I hope that today, with the help of the country of Yan, Prime Minister Feng will be able to support you." Select talents and appoint talents, lead the ministers, assist Jun'er, conquer the king's career, and fulfill my will." King Yan looked at Murong Jun again, "I salute to the Prime Minister."

Murong Jun saluted King Yan solemnly.

Feng Yi said with tears in his eyes: "The king of Yan is so kind, I will never forget it."

Feng Yi retires slowly, and retreats into the ranks of all the ministers.

"Jun'er, our country of Yan is full of talented people, strong soldiers and horses, and cleared up the four barbarians. Now that the civil strife in Shizhao is imminent, Gu Yuan thought that I could inherit the ambition of the previous kings, and be the lord of the Central Plains. It seems that Gu can't see it. .Nowadays in the court of Yan State, there are virtuous ministers and generals in their positions. You must make good use of them. Look at it alone: ​​Yang Shi Qiu Shi is noble, loyal, loyal, and can be entrusted with great things. Treat him kindly."

"Father, my son has recorded it."

"Among the clan, Murong Ke is wise and courageous, and he is worthy of the heavy responsibility. You entrust him to fulfill my ambition; Murong Ba is both wise and brave, good at caring soldiers, loyal to the country of Yan, handsome, and you treat him kindly. The three of you are Gu's favorite son is also the pillar of our country of Yan. Brothers unite, our country of Yan will surely be able to rise to the top of the world, don't make trouble within the Xiaoqiang, and fall into a situation where our country of Yan will never recover."

"Father, my son promises you, promises you."

"I know that you have always protected Uncle Ping. Although he is loyal and brave, he is deeply greedy for money. After you succeed to the throne, you can release him with amnesty. He must be grateful to you. Use his loyalty and bravery, and abandon his greed. Remember." King Yan firmly held his hand, "Our Murong family has the final say on this country of Yan."

I only heard a burst of crying "Woooo, Yaya" outside.

The prince hurriedly asked: "Who is making noise here?"

Nie Hao, the servant below, reported: "You are the youngest brother in the capital of the sons, and they are all here now."

"Quick, let them in." King Yan said panting.

I saw that Murong You, Murong Li, Murong Huan, Murong Long, Murong Zhou and other princes of Yan Kingdom all entered.

"Father King, Father King".

"The son came late, and he failed to be filial to his father and king at his knees."

"Father will live forever."

"My country of Yan will be ten thousand years old."

Everyone looked at the father on the sick bed and couldn't stop crying.

King Yan said sadly: "Don't cry, life in the world is like a traveler suddenly. There is no one in this world who will last forever. I, the Murong royal family, should be impassioned, and don't act like a little girl in the Jin family."

"Yes." The young masters wiped their tears and praised.

"You salute to the son. Since ancient times, there has been a difference between monarchs and ministers. From now on, the son Murong Jun will no longer be your elder brother, but your King Yan. You must do your best to assist him."

The youngest son, Murong Zhou, took the lead, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times to the son, "Murong Zhou, I pay my respects to the King of Yan."

All the princes shouted together: "I will pay my respects to King Yan."

"Murong Zhou, come, come to my father"

"Do you resent being a father? I can no longer be with you."

"Father, father, sons understand, sons understand, father is for the people of the world, exhausted both physically and mentally, this is the way to go."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yan Wang's mouth, "Fortunately, you have such insights, and I feel at ease for my father."

While speaking, Empress Duan, Concubine Lan and Concubine Gao led a group of concubines to kneel outside.The concubines were sobbing.Seeing that Duan Hou, Lan Fei, Gao Fei and others were silent, they followed Yan Wang since the hidden mansion, and they were calm and restrained.

The King of Yan looked at them, squinted his eyes at them, and said with a smile: "What a beautiful time, I have flowed away with the solitary. In the past few years, the Yan Kingdom has been fighting for years, and you have followed the solitary, with poor clothes and no shoes. Xiu, dressed in two colors, is quite hard work. Do you hate Gu?"

A young concubine said: "The king is a hero of the world, and it is a blessing for my concubines to follow the king." Another person also said: "If there is no King Yan, I don't know how many people will be displaced."

Seeing this situation, Concubine Lan couldn't help crying and said: "The world is fortunate to rely on King Yan, the subjects are safe, and the surroundings are peaceful. It is a blessing for us to be able to serve the King."

The concubines cried: "The concubine is willing to follow the king."

King Yan murmured: "Although the tortoise lives long, it still has its time. Wei Wu certainly does." He told everyone, "After I die, you can return to your original place. If you live in the old palace, you can weave cloth and spin silk. , the right to work as a female worker in order to be self-sufficient, and not to add to the country's expenses."

"Yes." All the beauties burst into tears.

King Yan smiled lightly: "Okay, you go out now, I don't want to be seen by you in a state of distress at the end of the day. Empress Duan, Concubine Lan, and Concubine Gao stay behind."

Duan Hou is the hand of the harem, she stepped forward and held Yan Wang's hand tightly, wanting to listen carefully.However, King Yan glanced at the people beside the couch, and his gaze stayed on Concubine Lan and Concubine Gao.

Duan Hou understood, looked at the two people behind him, motioned for them to come over, and knelt in front of King Yan's couch together.weeping

The King of Yan put their hands together, "The three sons of you are all heroes of the descendants of my country of Yan. I hope you can tell your sons to remember the country of Yan, and don't let the tragedy of Ren, Zhao, and Han be staged." ".He earnestly took Duan Hou's hand and said, "Be kind to you."

After the paragraph, she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Concubine Lan cried loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines know that I must make my son remember the Kingdom of Yan." Concubine Gao also said: "I will make Ke'er a loyal minister of the Kingdom of Yan."

King Yan stroked Concubine Lan's head, "Sing "A Gan Song" to Gu."

"Aganxi, my heart is sad. Ahgan wants to return to his horse. Why is it too hard for me to call a horse? I, Agan, are Aganxi. Agan is bitter and cold, so I leave my soil thorn to live in Bailan. I don’t see you in the sunset. Dry, sigh! How much can there be in life!" Let's sing and everyone weeps.

At this time, the son had already left the bedroom, and upon seeing this, Mu Yugen hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, the throne has been changed, and it is very dangerous. The distant ancestor Murong She collapsed, Murong Nai usurped the throne, and Murong Xun escaped disaster by luck, so he can be restored. Biography of the former king Murong Xun The throne is given to the current king of Yan, and there is also the chaos of Murong Ren and Murong Zhao. Now my lord is dying, and the ministers are worried that if the mountains collapse, the ministers will not attach, the border generals will not accept, and the barbarians will be disturbed, then the situation will be dangerous."

All the officials in the palace were also restless, King Yan was seriously ill, and now it was a time of great controversy.Mr. Ke and Mr. Ba are both in the border town, holding heavy soldiers in their hands, like awns on their backs.

Mu Yugen said again: "Let the two go back to the capital for the funeral, and take advantage of the situation to gather military power."

"Meet the Father".

A childish remark broke the conversation between the prince and Mu Yugen, but the prince looked back and it was his son Murong Ye, and another young man was standing beside him.

"Ye'er, why are you here?" Shizi said with concern, looking at the young man next to him, he was handsome and heroic, and he immediately fell in love with him, and asked Ye'er, "Who is this young master?"

"Father, Murong Kai, the son of Murong Ke, the general who crossed the Liao Dynasty, came to pay his respects to the son."

The man solemnly bowed to the son and said: "Murong Kai, the son of my minister Murong Ke, pays homage to the son."

All of a sudden, Shizi and Mu Yugen were shocked.I saw Murong Kai said in a calm manner: "My father heard that there was a change in the capital, so he sent his son to the capital to pay his respects to the son. Now the world is in chaos, Liaodong, Fuyu Xinping, the father of the son is afraid that the town will be taken lightly, and the border There have been changes. Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult since ancient times. Loyalty is regarded as the country, and filial piety is regarded as the home. For a general, one should be loyal to the state and consider filial piety. Therefore, the father sent his son Murong Kai to the capital. It is a pity that the father cannot be filial to his knees, please the son Forgive my father for not being able to attend the funeral in the capital.”

Murong Ye also said: "The current situation of our country of Yan depends on the unity of the monarch and ministers, and the dedication of the officers and men. If there is someone with evil intentions, who breaks the ground and stands on his own, everyone will punish him. Everyone in my country of Yan knows that my father has the merits of assisting the prime minister. , deeply loved by the people, should follow the orders of the father."

The crown prince said with emotion: "Ye'er is loyal and pure, and I am not up to it."

Suddenly Ping Bo came out in a panic and only shouted: "Quick!".

　There is one more time, this era of Murong Hao is coming to an end, and the following is a new chapter of the struggle for supremacy in the Central Plains.
