Chapter 3481 Extra Kochu 7

The emperor's health did not last long, and before all his sons and daughters had arrived, he became critically ill.

He himself knew that he had reached his limit, so he specially called Gu Zhong to question, "You and I have been together for thirty years, and you are the person who has been with me the longest besides the queen."

Gu Zhong also burst into tears, "Your Majesty, the old slave can go with you, and let the old slave serve by your side when you go underground."

The emperor shook his head, "My Dajin doesn't do such things as burial, so don't do stupid things."

"The old slave is willing," Gu Zhong cried bitterly as he lay beside the bed, "The old slave is worried about your Majesty."

General Ashina, who was standing below like many ministers, was also grieved. He stepped forward, knelt down on one knee beside Gu Zhong, took the emperor's hand and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to follow your Majesty to the ground. The minister also led the troops to fight for His Majesty."

The emperor was full of words, but was unable to speak out for a long time because of their sad emotions. He paused, and decided to comfort them first, especially Ashina, "Da Jin still needs you. In the future, you will guard the territory for the prince. , how can you follow me?"

Then he said to Gu Zhong: "You don't have to make such a childish gesture, if you really want to miss me, just do a sacrifice anywhere."

The emperor paused and said: "After I leave, if you still want to stay in the palace, then you can stay in the palace to be raised. If you don't want to stay, just go out and live for a while. I will ask the queen to let you go out."

This is already a great grace for a servant, with the emperor's words, Gu Zhong can spend the rest of his life in peace.

Gu Zhong lowered his head, tears fell drop by drop, his nose was so stuffed that he couldn't speak a word, at this moment, he really wanted to go with the emperor.

After Gu Zhong was arranged, the emperor's eyes fell on the children behind him, and he waved to Ming Da and Chang Yu.

The two stepped forward immediately.

The emperor put his hand on Mingda's, and said to her: "You are a smart child, you know how to be considerate since you were young, I have nothing to tell you..."

The emperor sighed and said that he had nothing to say, but he still couldn't help but said: "You have to take good care of yourself and take care of your health. The son-in-law is also good to you. I know you are a blessed one. If you are bored in Beijing, you will be fine." Let the son-in-law take you out for a walk, but don't go too far, your mother is in the palace, you should visit her more often..."

The emperor choked up when he said this, "You have to take good care of your queen mother."

Mingda nodded with red eyes, "Okay, don't worry Aye, I will often go to the palace to see the queen mother."

The queen who was sitting by the bed turned her head and wiped away her tears.

Only then did the emperor look at Changyu, and said, "Changyu, you should listen to your son-in-law more, live frugally, and read more..."

Although Chang Yu didn't like reading, he still nodded with red eyes.

He has many children, but there are not many who can be told by him one by one, not to mention there are still several of them who have not rushed to the capital.

But the ones who got close came back.

Prince Gong was also kneeling below, crying sadly.

His father's departure hit him the hardest, on every level.

Of course the emperor knew this too. There was a big difference between his father being the emperor and his elder brother being the emperor, not to mention the fact that the third child had fought like that with the prince back then.

In recent years, the two brothers have been brothers and sisters on the surface, but knowing the son is like a father, the emperor knows that the prince does not like the third son from the bottom of his heart, and even remembers the events of those years.

So he waved to King Gong and the prince full of worry, put the hands of the two brothers together, and told King Gong: "After Aye leaves, you have to listen to your elder brother and manage your territory well. Don't be arrogant or extravagant... ..."

He paused and then said: "Read more, I think Xiang'er is just like you. He is a good young man who studies. If you teach him more, let him study as much as you do in the future. If he can learn more in the literary world To become famous and become famous is also to give my Li family glory and glory to my ancestors."

The Li family squeezed their way into the ranks of Longxi aristocratic families back then, and those aristocratic families often made fun of them in private, thinking that they were not worthy of the name.

The emperor seemed to have found a broad road for Prince Gong, he held the hands of the two brothers tightly and said, "You must study more...cough cough cough..."

Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan hurried forward, felt his pulse and gave him two needles to calm down.

Only then did the emperor tell the prince, "Take good care of your brothers and sisters. To be an emperor is to endure what ordinary people can't bear, and to be lenient what ordinary people can't be lenient."

The ministers standing below, the princes and princesses kneeling, and the prince himself all thought that the emperor meant Prince Gong.

No matter what the prince thought in his heart, he nodded his head in front of the emperor anyway.

The emperor was very satisfied, so he looked at the ministers and began to assign homework, encouraging everyone to assist the crown prince and manage the Jin Dynasty well. He looked at Zhou Man, who was more satisfied with him.

Zhou Man, Bai Shan, Yang Heshu, and Tang He are all the assistant ministers he trained for the crown prince. Zhao Guogong and the others are old, and the world is dominated by young people after all, so he clicked on everything he could find. To show how much I value them, so that they can assist the prince with more dedication in the future.

After explaining these things, the emperor also became a little out of breath, and finally let go of the hands of the two sons, waved to them and said, "You all step back, the prince stays, I have something to say to you."

The queen thought for a moment, and then retreated, only Gu Zhong stayed with his head down as usual.

The two living men who were writing in the corner paused for a moment. Seeing that the emperor did not expel them, they also squatted down in the corner in a low-key manner, thinking about listening to a wave of secrets and memorizing a piece of history, but their pens were all soaked in ink. Gu Zhong came over with small steps and asked them to go out in a low voice.

Living Lang: ...

This is also an unwritten rule, but they did not leave the main hall completely, but sat down at the door outside the sleeping hall and listened with their ears upright, but the voices of the father and son were a little low, and they couldn't hear it accurately.

Then we can only write about the emperor and the prince giving secrets face to face.

Gu Zhong quietly returned to the imperial court, and heard the emperor say: "...Although Yang Heshu comes from a family, it will not be influenced by the family, so it can be used."

"Bai Shan is at odds with his family. He didn't grow up in an aristocratic family. Both he and Zhou Man have a good impression of the poor family's children, and they are open-minded and talented. You have to use them all," the emperor warned: "How many times?" Listen to the opinions of the courtiers. Although some words may not sound good to you, as long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, you can bear with it. If you are really bored, go ride a horse in the West Inner Garden to let go of your anger. "

He said: "To be a king is to endure things that ordinary people can't bear."

Only then did the prince understand that what the emperor said just now was not only aimed at the third child.

He lowered his eyes in response, promising that he would be a good king.
