Chapter 803 Liu Zhang Dies(1/2)
Liu Zhang refused to listen to his advice and insisted on sticking until he completely wiped out the rebels.
As a result, his condition worsened.
I feel dizzy every day, my body seems to be hollowed out, and my temper becomes more and more irritable.
The ministers of the two civil and military ranks wanted to let the eldest prince Liu Baoshun, who was accompanying the army, come forward to persuade him.
Liu Baoshun refused sternly.
"My lords, don't worry about this Highness. My father has a deep prejudice against this Highness. If I come forward to persuade him, it will not only not solve the problem, but will attract cross-examination and suspicion."
When he said this, he did not avoid anyone.
It was naturally reached Liu Zhang's ears.
Liu Zhang was furious, "He is complaining! He resented me for not giving him military power, and resented me for being partial."
Because he is sick and cannot heal for a long time, if he is a little unhappy, Liu Zhang can't control his temper.
He sent someone to criticize Liu Baoshun and told him to be more at ease.
If you dare to complain, you will definitely punish it severely.
Liu Baoshun: “…”
mmmp, the older I get, the more confused I get.
Anyway, he is wrong in everything he does now.
If this situation occurs, the court officials dare not persuade him again.
The weather affects the war and the situation is not going well, and it is delayed day by day.
Liu Zhang's condition was ups and downs and he still couldn't get better.
After all, he is old!
He is no longer young and strong, able to fight south and north, and can fight for three hundred rounds without sleeping for days and nights.
He is old, but he refuses to recognize him.
Have to make trouble!
Everyone is worried about the trouble.
A heavy rain poured down and mold grew.
Liu Zhang's condition worsened again, he was unconscious, weak, and incoherent, as if the deadline was approaching.
The ministers of the civil and military ranks were panicked. If Liu Zhang suddenly passed away and had not yet made an heir, there would be turmoil.
What should I do?
Taking advantage of the emperor's brief awakening, the ministers of the civil and military squads persuaded him to return to the imperial city again.
For the sake of the Northern Liang Dynasty, the rebellion in Qingzhou is not worth mentioning.
Moreover, others were in the military camp, and all the soldiers were under great pressure from generals to soldiers, and they were in a desperate situation every day.
The generals who commanded the army were cautious in fighting, for fear that any mistake would lead to scolding and scolding, or even the heads would fall to the ground.
If Liu Zhang is not in the military camp, the generals will naturally fight as much as they want, without worrying about gains and losses.
As the saying goes, the military orders will not be accepted by foreign troops.
In short, from the beginning, in person was a mistake.
Seriously persuading...
Liu Zhang himself also realized that his physical condition was not good, and the worst thing might have happened.
So he let go and decided to set off for the imperial city.
The ministers of the civil and military squads all breathed a sigh of relief, and they persuaded them to go back.
but……
This just solved one thing.
Some court officials discussed in private and it was time to decide the crown prince.
"Do you want to die? Your Majesty is arbitrary and rashly talks about the matter of the crown prince. Your Majesty is angry and afraid that the head will fall to the ground! It's okay if I die alone, but I'm afraid of having my wife, children, and even family."
"Your Majesty is in a serious condition, and even the Imperial Doctor is not optimistic. If there is any good or bad luck but the throne is not issued in time, chaos will surely occur in the court. Can you bear such consequences?"
"Why should we take the initiative to take responsibility? Your Majesty will make a decision. Even if there is chaos in the court in the end, it is not our fault. Don't think about it. If you think too much, be careful not to live long. Whoever lets us be in Beiliang? The situation is like this, and we cannot tolerate unnecessary things. Don't behave like this here and think that you are the ministers of the Great Wei. Humph!"
"Hey! I really envy the court officials of the Southern Wei who can speak freely in the court and point at the emperor's nose and scold him. Unlike us, we don't even dare to say the truth."
"Don't complain! If you can live, you have tried your best. For other things, let your best leave your fate!"
Everyone is pessimistic.
As a minister of Beiliang, I can't see any hope or even a way out.
The Southern Wei may not be very good.
However, at present, for the vast majority of people in Beiliang, it is like a bright lamp, making people know that there is another way to live in the world.
Even if you are a minister, you will have another kind of elegance.
The officials of the Southern Wei Dynasty are real officials, dignified and self-proclaimed officials.
The officials of Beiliang are just a group of marionettes and tool people, and they are not allowed to have their own consciousness and propositions.
It's sad and lamentable!
The camp was set off and the emperor Liu Zhang was going back to the imperial city to recuperate.
The eldest prince Liu Baoshun volunteered to stay on the front line, and he wanted to personally resolve the Qingzhou rebellion.
Perhaps it was because of prejudice, or perhaps because of poor health, and there was a lot of suspicion in his heart. Emperor Liu Zhang rejected his memorial and refused to stay and take charge of the troops.
He ordered him to return to the imperial city together.
In front of others, Liu Baoshun showed disappointment.
He is really disappointed!
But he smiled, as if he had expected everything.
And from the beginning, I thought about returning to the imperial city instead of staying to fight.
My father is in poor health, so he is stupid to stay on the front line at this time!
just in case……
If the worst happens, he will follow him and he will be able to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.
With his eldest son, he inherited the throne is just around the corner.
It was raining and raining, and the central army led the camp and headed towards the imperial city.
Emperor Liu Zhang was in poor health, and all the civil and military ministers were delicate and expensive, so they were slow.
On the first day, I didn't even get to fifty miles.
In the days that followed, because of the constant rain and muddy roads, I could only walk thirty or forty miles a day.
If you encounter heavy rain, you can only stay at the post station and it is difficult to move forward.
The official road of Beiliang has been disrepaired for a long time and is uneven.
When it comes to rain, you basically have one pit step by step. If you don’t pay attention, the wheels of the carriage will fall into mud pits and cannot even drag them.
In this case, it is conceivable how slow the journey is.
It is all a delusion to want to rush back to the imperial city as soon as possible.
The continuous rainy weather made Emperor Liu Zhang's condition unable to improve, and even became heavier.
As his condition worsened, his temper became more and more irritable and he always refused to cooperate with the imperial physician's instructions.
If it weren't for the fact that someone could not find a replacement for the imperial physician in a short period of time, Liu Zhang would have killed the imperial physician to vent his hatred.
It was already late at night in a corner of the inn and most people were already sleeping.
The lights were still on in the bedroom of the eldest prince Liu Baoshun.
The manager stayed by his side to serve him.
Both the master and the servant spoke, and their voices were lowered.
"According to His Highness's instructions, the personnel have already been in place. If an accident occurs, you can arrive in a day at most."
Liu Baoshun held the book in his hand, but his mind was not on the book. He didn't see him turn a page in one night.
"What's going on in the palace?"
"It's still the same, Concubine Xue doesn't leave the palace easily. Once she leaves the palace, there are countless guards around her, all of whom were arranged by His Majesty himself, just to protect Concubine Xue's safety."
Liu Baoshun sneered, "The old man is very nervous about the woman named Xue! He said he was confused, he was smarter than anyone else. He said he was smart, but he couldn't see through the trick of the last name Xue. Could it be that women's tears are so valuable? Just crying can make the emperor's mind enter the mind, and he doesn't even believe his own son."
"Your Highness is careful and be careful of the walls."
