As an emperor, Zhao Heng gave the greatest respect to the minister Kou Yan.

After learning that Kou Wei had woken up, the former took Cao Can to the world and robbed the chariot to visit Kou's mansion, which moved Kou Wei, who was lying on the hospital bed, very moved.

"Ku Qing is seriously ill, so don't stick to common etiquette."

Seeing that Kou Yan was about to greet him, Zhao Heng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, and then sat down next to the bed. Looking at Kou Yan with a haggard face, he felt a little distressed.

Is this still the Kou Pingzhong he remembers? How come he is now?

The air is as bright as a silk thread, dying, as if it is like a candle in the wind, and the lights will go out at any time.

"Taoshi~"

Cao Can felt heartbroken when he saw it, and couldn't help but say, "The Grand Master must take care of his health. Your Majesty and Jiangshan cannot do without you."

"Taoguang is here too." Kou Yan reluctantly said hello: "I am like this today, but Taoguang is a joke."

Cao Can wet his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "I saw that the Taishi worked hard for the country and the country so much, so I was only moved. How could I laugh at you?

Zhao Heng, who was standing by, also echoed: "What Cao Qing family said is that Kou Qing, you are at ease in your house now. When will you recover from illness? I and the court are waiting for you to come back and take charge of the overall situation."

"I know the best in my heart." Kou Wei coughed a few times, scaring Zhao Heng so much that he quickly stroked his back and patted him with his hands and let his heart go.

Seeing Kou Wei's coughing so hard, Zhao Heng felt a lot of discomfort in his heart. He held his hand tightly and said sadly.

"Recalling twenty-two years ago, when you and my king and minister first met, Ping Zhong, you had just passed the Jinshi for a few years. How energetic it was.

Even during the Battle of Yingzhou, Ping Zhong, you were in charge of the Central Army tent and had the ability to defeat the Khitan. In the prime of Spring and Autumn Period, you made extraordinary achievements. It was the best time. But now it has only been a few years. It is so old that I am so sad that I don’t think about it.”

It would be fine if Zhao Heng didn't say this. Once he said it, Kou Shi, who was already moved, was disappointed again.

Yes, why have I become like this in the past few years?

When he fought against the Khitan and wanted to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, his ambition was poured into a cool pot of cold water by the emperor and Wang Qinruo.

When he entered Hongzhou, he repeatedly ordered that the people could not be harmed, but he was forced to massacre the city and harm the people.

To suppress Luo Ni, Kou Zhong made a mistake in Qufu, Shandong, but the emperor chose to put a knife into Kou Yan's hand and forced him to kill his adopted son.

One by one, one by one, these things are impossible to think about.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt heartbroken Kou felt.

But seeing that Zhao Heng was definitely not a fake expression, Kou Wei temporarily put down his negative emotions and chose to forgive: "What the official said is, when I first met the official more than 20 years ago, although the official was still young, Feng Shen and Junxiu had already become the charity of being a king and an emperor. At that time, I decided that Your Majesty was the most suitable candidate for the Eastern Palace.

Sure enough, after the officials ascended the throne, rectified the government, reformed the finance, opened up bans in the sea and the city, and encouraged farming and sericulture to make the world prosperous and prosperous. Your Majesty also issued seven Regulations on Civil and Military Integrity, which I remember clearly.

We must be polite, be dedicated to the public, cultivate morality, be pragmatic, be careful, be diligent in teaching, and eliminate evil. We must have great wisdom in every aspect. The official is the most wisest king that the ministers have ever seen."

Seeing Kou Wei say this, Zhao Heng suddenly felt a light on his face, but just as he was about to speak a few humble words, he suddenly felt disgusted.

He is so good in Kou Yan's mouth, and so good in the words of his ministers, but why is the world almost destroyed by being so wise and righteous?

Because I am the king and they are ministers, even Kou Shi was unwilling to persuade him directly.

The reason is still with me.

"Kou Qing hasn't finished speaking." Zhao Heng sighed sadly: "I have a lot besides these, and Kou Qing doesn't say it. I'm just saying it myself.

I am stubborn and self-conceited, and I am very fond of merit. I am obviously born with ambitions and are timid and cowardly, and indecisive. I believe in ghosts and gods, but do not like Confucian classics, and indulge in women's sexual desire to enjoy. These are all my problems, right?

I am wrong, I will make a correction, and I promise Kou Qing that I will make a correction."

Kou Yan glanced at Zhao Heng deeply, with three points of sadness and regret in his eyes.

It is a good thing that the emperor can admit his mistakes, but Zhao Heng has admitted so many mistakes, why hasn't he realized the most critical point?

Is it a great mistake for an emperor? The biggest mistake is that the emperor of a country has no responsibility for this country!

Zhao Heng’s biggest mistake was that he actually signed a contract with the Khitans!

Compared to Zhao Heng, Zhao Er was worse than Zhao Er and Gao Lianghe was defeated, but at least one thing Zhao Er is the reason why Kou Yan and the civil and military officials in the country were willing to follow him to the death.

That is, Zhao Er never stopped his dream of recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and never stopped his Northern Expedition during the Yongxi period.

If you lose once, you will save two years of strength and fight again.

I haven't stopped fighting for more than ten years.

What an emperor needs most is precisely this sense of responsibility. From this point of view, Zhao Er has outgrown Zhao Heng more than ten streets.

Kou Wei advised Zhao Heng for nearly ten years, but he was tired even if he couldn't persuade him.

Finally, his reluctance turned into a sigh.

"Your Majesty, I am almost out of my way. I am already exhausted and my body is drifting away. I beg your Majesty to accept me and report my illness to retire."

"Master, no!"

Kou Yu's resignation scared Cao Can so much that he was out of control. He hurriedly stepped forward and squatted to the couch and advised: "The world cannot be separated from the Taishi, and the world cannot be separated from the Taishi!"

Now there is a mess everywhere, and you don’t take it down for this mess. Isn’t this bullying?

Your reputation sounds good, after all, you won the Battle of Yingzhou. Now that Cao Can takes over, if the country dies at Cao Can's hands, wouldn't the latter's reputation be so bad?

Zhao Heng kept saying that Zhang butcher did not eat pigs with hair, but when he really reached this point, he had made the old habit of indecision again.

Should I agree to Kou or not?

Turning his head to see that it was Kou Yan's begging eyes that made Zhao Heng's heart completely cold.

He closed his eyes and trembled, and he spitted for a long time.

"I'm sure!"

After saying that, shed two drops of tears, got up, shook her sleeves and left.

Zhang Qi and a group of eunuchs hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he stomped his feet with regret.

"Why are you like this, Taishi?"

But at this time, Kou Wei seemed to be in a coma again, deaf ear to Cao Can's words, forcing him to sigh and have to leave.

At this moment, only Kou Wei and his follower Kou Sui were left in the whole room.

"father."

Kou Sui was shocked at this moment: "Do you really have the heart to give up this world?"

"It's not that my father gave up on the world, but that my father couldn't let you go." Kou Yan reached out and stroked Kou Sui's face: "Dad, let you live."

Kou is also a pitiful person because he has no children all his life and seems to have an indescribable disease.

Kou Suiyu was his nephew who was born under his knees. Kou Zhong was a child he picked up in the countryside many years ago and accepted as his adopted son.

Although neither of these two people were Kou Qi's biological children, each Kou Qi regarded him as his own and carefully cultivated him. Although he had no father-son blood relationship, he had father-son family affection.

"Dad retreats at this time, no matter what the future holds, you and Zhonger can live. If Luo Chu lives in the world, Zhonger will have a kindness with him and can become a general, which will fulfill his dream of expeditioning the north."

Kou Yan closed his eyes and murmured tiredly: "Although I, a father, cannot realize my dream for him, I cannot break his dream."

Retiring from illness is the only way Kou Shi can think of at present.

It will not cause trouble for Zhao Heng, but it will also save his family's life.

Let the world fight. If Zhao Song wins, he, Kou Yan, will not die at most, will be the culprit of the Emperor's alliance. He should be retired early and enjoy his old age.

If Luo Chu wins, Luo Yongsheng may have killed him, but he will definitely not kill Kou Zhong and Kou Sui.

Moreover, Kou Zhong also saved Luo Yongsheng's life, and he still knows his enemy Kou Yan now.

Following Luo Yongsheng, Kou Zhong had the opportunity to realize his dream in his life.

For the sake of his son's dream, Kou Yan, a father, did everything he could, on the basis of not betraying his reputation or Zhao Heng.

Leave the future to God.
