Eternal traitor

Chapter 498

"My lord, this old man thinks what Li Xiang said is somewhat reasonable, please don't shirk it, Your Majesty."

Shuhou, who was sitting on the chair, has not spoken all the time, but now he expressed his supportive attitude, straightforward.The old and stooped figure also supported Li Hua's point of view at this time. You must know that this old man usually doesn't say a word at all. And since I've been sleeping in a chair, this sound seems to have pointed me in the right direction.

"I think what Li Xiang said is very true."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

············
Most of the people in the court are human beings. If Li Hua's remarks just now may have the meaning of Yingzheng, then at this time the Marquis of Shu speaks again, then this matter is likely to be Li Hua and Yingzheng. In acting.

Ying Zheng was famous, but Li Hua didn't care. Ying Zheng followed Li Hua's mouth and said what he wanted to do. In this way, he could not only get what he wanted, but also maintain his reputation and expand the palace. Build gardens, and... proclaim yourself emperor.

Wouldn't it be fools for everyone who has figured all this out to stop now? ?

There was no voice of opposition, but Ying Zheng fell into deep thought, hesitantly looked at everyone, and after a long time, he said with emotion, "The construction of the palace and gardens is temporarily allowed, and the matter of proclaiming the emperor still needs to be considered in the long run. Let’s go back today.”

"Farewell to the King."

"Farewell to the King."

"Farewell to the King."

Ying Zheng left, and Li Hua came to the Marquis of Shu. Looking at this old man, Li Hua really felt a little moved by the wisdom of this old man. The older he gets, the more cunning he is. With just a few words, Ying Zheng's thoughts were guessed, no, maybe this old man is too familiar with the relationship between himself and Ying Zheng? ?

"Is the old man interested in having a light meal today?"

Li Hua smiled and squatted in front of Marquis Shu and asked. Seeing the old man's old face, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Time is not forgiving, Marquis Shu is also looking older at this time, and one eye is almost invisible Something, but the ears can still hear some words.

"How dare the old man refuse Li Xiang's invitation?? Hahaha..."

The Marquis of Shu smiled with his mouth showing only five or six teeth left. He was so kind that it made people feel like sunshine in winter, and his words were kind when he was about to die. My body can get better, but now... I don't know how long I can last? ?

"Your Highness, please go back. Since I have an appointment with the Marquis of Shu today, I won't teach you anything. Just go back and think about what happened today."

Li Hua doesn't want to talk about life freely with the Marquis of Shu, and there is such a little follower by his side. Ying Zheng seems to have dumped Fu Su to himself, and Li Hua has no choice but to give lessons whether it is in court or in private. Ah, but I can't refuse.

"Yes."

Fusu's young body bowed to Li Hua and Shu Hou respectively, and then left here.

Above the main hall, Li Hua helped the Marquis of Shu's light body up, looking at the old man in front of him, Li Hua felt a little bit reluctant. Now the world is basically at peace, but the old man who has paid so much has reached the last moment of his life .Walking out of the hall, facing the warm sunshine, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything in Daqin is so beautiful...

Twenty days later, the monarch of Yan State shrank back and did not talk about the matter of giving up power.

On the 33rd, the Great Qin's million-strong army approached the city, and everyone in Chu was in danger.

On the [-]th, Chu Jun gave up power and chose to surrender.

On the [-]th, the King of Qin accepted the surrender of Lord Yan, and the Qin army moved into the country of Yan, and there was no more country of Yan in the world.

A hundred days later, the whole world celebrated. In the new palace, Yingzheng ascended the throne and called himself "First Emperor". On that day, the whole world rejoiced. Even the captured King Han, King Chu, and King Yan were also invited. Attending, the joy of singing and dancing lasted for three full days before finally ending.

However, the Marquis of Shu could not see all this.

Among the cemeteries of the royal family, there is a not-so-luxurious tomb at the farthest edge. A raised mound and a tombstone are all there is. Li Hua's most respected old man is buried in the tomb.It was the old man's last wish to bury him in a humble place. He said that he had made mistakes in the first half of his life. Although he made up for some, it was not enough to get more. A remote place in the royal cemetery was enough.

Even this tomb was dug by Li Hua himself, and he forced it into it with his own strength. He worked all day to bury him in it. The words "Anonymous" were engraved on the stone tablet, and even the dead old man didn't want his name to appear here.

Standing alone, Li Hua held the imperial decree in his hand and began to read it to the lonely grave in front of him.

"His Majesty the First Emperor issued an edict that although Yinghui, Marquis of Shu, once existed, he has made a lot of contributions to the Great Qin Dynasty, and today he is bestowed the title of "King of Shu"."

After reading the imperial decree, Li Hua closed it and put it in the hands of the old man kneeling on the ground.The white-haired old man in front of him is the old servant of the Marquis of Shu who has been with him all his life, and today he took over the imperial edict on behalf of the Marquis of Shu.

"Old slave, the old slave took over on behalf of the master, took over..."

Tremblingly, the old man took the imperial decree in his hand, bowed three times, tears welled up in his eyes, this imperial decree that could wash away the guilt in the master's heart finally arrived, but the master who had already buried himself could not see it anyway.

"Mr. Zhao, get up quickly, you are getting old, pay more attention to your body."

Li Hua quickly helped the old man up. The thin old man was already 86 years old. He was always in good health, but since the day Shu Hou left, the old man has declined sharply.The Marquis of Shu was buried here, and this loyal servant stayed here, weeding and worshiping here every day, day after day, and never absent.

Li Hua knew that he couldn't change the old man, so he built a small house not far away for him, and sent people to send things to him every day.He also asked the old man if he had any children, but the old man smiled and shook his head. Li Hua understood immediately,

"Master is right, Li Xiang came as promised. After master left, you have come here ten times. If master knows, you will die in peace."

Mr. Zhao sighed with emotion. Although he was just a servant all his life, he had a lot of experience. During the [-] days since the Marquis of Shu left, even the veterans did not come down more than five times, but Li Hua took care of everything. I often come here, such a loving person, no wonder the master asked him to be buried when he was dying.

"Old Zhao, what other wishes do you have?"

"If the villain is gone one day, please bury the villain outside the wall."

The tomb of Marquis Shu is close to the edge of the royal cemetery, and the old man's wish is to be accompanied by a wall. He knows that his status is not enough to be buried here, so he made such a wish.

"Li knows, if there is such a day, Li will definitely send you away in person."

Li Hua finally understood why the Marquis of Shu wanted to bury himself here. Perhaps in his eyes, those unfamiliar relatives were not even comparable to the servants who accompanied him all his life? ?

"Thank you."

The old man put away the imperial decree and bowed to Li Hua, but Li Hua did not stop him.
