Chapter 1560 Another Reconciliation

Come here.

That’s a very good saying.

Many things can become natural because of this sentence.

Yun Zheng decided to go see Gao Shizhen since he was already here.

By the time they arrived at Gao Shizhen's felt tent, exhausted, Gao Shizhen was almost dying.

It was not until he saw Yun Zheng walk in that a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Gao Shizhen's cloudy eyes.

"Your subordinate..."

Gao Shizhen wanted to stand up and salute, but Yun Zheng raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, it's time to stop being so formal."

Yun Zheng came to Gao Shizhen's bed and sat down, asking directly: "Do you have any last wishes?"

At this point, he didn't need to say any useless nonsense to Gao Shizhen.

At this age, Gao Shizhen can be considered to have died of old age.

Given Gao Shizhen's current condition, even if the imperial physician came, he could only keep him going for another hour or two at most.

Of course, if Gao Shizhen was inside the Great Wall, he would have lived longer.

But Yun Zheng will not feel any guilt about this matter.

Even if it happens again, he will still do it.

Gao Shizhen raised his hand tremblingly and pointed to the wooden box next to the yurt: "Books, books..."

Book?

Yun Zheng looked back and immediately ordered Qin Qihu: "Bring the box over here."

Qin Qihu walked over quickly and picked up the wooden box.

"It's a bit heavy!"

Qin Qihu came to Yun Zheng holding the wooden box, placed it at his feet and opened it.

Inside was a whole box of books.

Yun Zheng picked up a book and flipped through it, only to find that it was a book written by Gao Shizhen himself.

The cover of the book is made of cowhide, and it should have been bound by Gao Shizhen himself.

The book contains the knowledge summarized by Gao Shizhen, all of which are very literary.

Yun Zheng casually flipped through a few pages, then picked up another book to read.

As expected, this book is also some literary stuff.

"Are they all related to academic research and educating people?"

Yun Zheng asked Gao Shizhen.

"No... not..."

Gao Shizhen answered with difficulty, "And... governing the country..."

Governing the country?

Yun Zheng and Qin Qihu looked at Gao Shizhen in surprise at the same time.

Although they felt that it was not a good idea to suspect Gao Shizhen now, they still had doubts in their hearts.

Can Gao Shizhen govern the country?

With full of curiosity, Yun Zheng began to search.

During the search, I also discovered a collection of poems written by Gao Shizhen.

Yun Zheng casually read two poems and found them to be quite well written.

At least, he couldn't have written these poems on his own.

After searching through several books, Yun Zheng finally found the book about governing a country that Gao Shizhen mentioned.

Gao Shizhen had already named the book in advance.

national policy!

The name is quite big, but Yun Zheng has no idea what the content is.

Yun Zheng flipped through the book, reading word by word.

"The way to govern a country is to first ensure the safety of the people. If the people are safe, the foundation of the country will be strong, and if the foundation of the country is strong, the country will be safe."

"So a wise ruler who governs his country must first cultivate agriculture and sericulture to ensure adequate food and clothing..."

As he watched, Yun Zheng gradually put away his contempt for Gao Shizhen.

He really looked down on Gao Shizhen!

He can say that Gao Shizhen is pedantic, but he cannot say that Gao Shizhen is incompetent!

Although some of what Gao Shizhen wrote are not very practical in the current environment, many of what he wrote will come in handy once the country is stable.

In addition, Gao Shizhen also wrote about his views on the current national conditions.

There are even some concerns about the future of Daqian, which can be regarded as an early warning.

Yun Zheng did not finish reading it, mainly because time did not permit it.

After closing the book, Yun Zheng slowly stood up and bowed to Gao Shizhen: "Although I still think that Mr. Gao is a pedantic person, I still agree with his knowledge and foresight!"

"As for all the books written by Lord Gao that are beneficial to the country and the people, I will order people to proofread and edit them, and print them out to be passed down to future generations!"

"I will also take the essence of Duke Gao's policy of governing the country and discard the dross! In the future, I will implement benevolent policies for the people and let them rest and recuperate!"

"When Lord Gao passes away, the imperial court will posthumously confer upon him the title of Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, and his posthumous title - Wen Zhao!"

Yun Zheng is very direct.

Perhaps, telling him about my plans now will help him have no regrets!

Gao Shizhen must have made a contribution!

Apart from anything else, just educating the people who migrated from Beihuan is a great achievement.

To be honest, he didn't do much wrong. It was just a little personal grudge between them.

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, a smile suddenly appeared on Gao Shizhen's pale face.

"Thank you...your Majesty."

Gao Shizhen said with difficulty, "To this day... I still don't agree with... the character of the prince!"

"But the prince... is indeed the greatest... hero of all time!"

"I believe that the prince will ensure that the people...have enough food and clothing, and create a prosperous era for Daqian!"

"Your Majesty will surely... be remembered for generations to come... ahem..."

As Gao Shizhen spoke, he stopped coughing.

Yun Zheng has his own stubbornness, and he also has his own stubbornness.

Yun Zheng did not completely deny him, and he would not completely deny Yun Zheng.

In this respect, they are actually the same kind of people.

But they each have their own persistence.

Yun Zheng nodded gently and asked again: "Does Mr. Gao want to be buried in his hometown or somewhere else?"

"Right... right here! Ahem..."

Gao Shizhen said with difficulty.

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng promised: "I will order people to build a tomb for Lord Gao with the ceremony of a duke!"

"No...don't...waste people's time and money!"

Gao Shizhen breathed rapidly, "I, an old man... wish to turn into dust and drift across the earth, so that I can see the magnificent mountains and rivers of Daqian..."

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng nodded solemnly: "I will scatter Lord Gao's ashes on this land!"

"Thank you..."

Gao Shizhen spoke weakly, his voice becoming smaller and smaller, until it could no longer be heard at all.

But there was still a smile on his face, and his cloudy eyes closed at the last moment.

Yun Zheng gently checked Gao Shizhen's breath and found that Gao Shizhen was no longer alive.

"Farewell, Lord Gao!"

Yun Zheng slowly bowed to Gao Shizhen's body.

Qin Qihu realized it later and also paid his respects to Gao Shizhen's body.

"Somebody come!"

Yun Zheng shouted in a low voice, and when Lin Ji outside opened the curtain of the yurt and walked in, Yun Zheng ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately count all the items in the yurt, and order them to seal them all and send them to Shuofang! Order people to build a tomb for Gao Shizhen on the spot, and build it according to the regulations for a third-rank official!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ji obeyed the order.

After giving instructions to Lin Ji, Yun Zheng bowed to Gao Shizhen's body again before leaving the felt tent.

"We're going to burn him before we leave?"

Outside, Qin Qihu asked in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Yun Zheng nodded, "Divide his ashes into two parts, scatter one part on this land, and bury the other part in the grave!"

I wish I could turn into dust and drift across the earth, so that I can see the magnificent rivers and mountains of Daqian!

He would naturally fulfill Gao Shizhen's last wish.

Qin Qihu glanced at Yun Zheng and asked curiously, "I say, you are not sad, are you?"

Anyway, he had no feelings at all about Gao Shizhen's death.

He also didn't know what Yun Zheng was thinking.
