Chapter 329 Withering
Every winter is cold and many people die.
Even if one is powerful, wealthy and powerful, one has no privileges in the face of death.
"The King of Jiaodong has passed away."
"Posthumous Sorrow.
The court extended favor to his five sons, making them the King of Jiaodong, the King of Jiaoxi, the King of Zidong, the King of Jinan, and the King of Jibei, and each of them guarded his own kingdom.
The death of the nominal King of Jiaodong and actual King of Qi did not cause much commotion.
But there was another truly great figure who passed away in Qi long ago, and that was Duke Lu Cheng of Qi!
This prince, who had been active since the end of the Qin Dynasty, had a truly legendary experience. It was rare for a prince of a different surname to be able to achieve such a level.
When the news reached Chang'an, it naturally caused a great shock.
"In the past, Duke Cheng of Qi asked to be stripped of his royal title. His high moral character is rare in the world. Now that Duke Cheng has passed away, he should be posthumously conferred the title of king to honor his virtue.
Duke Qi destroyed the tyrannical Qin Dynasty at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and fought a bloody battle against Xiang Yu, assisting Emperor Gaozu in unifying the world. He had outstanding military exploits and a great reputation, and he should be posthumously named Wei to recognize his achievements.
The ancestors of Duke Qi established the country of Qi for a thousand years, but finally fell to the tyrannical Qin. Duke Qi was able to restore his country and rebuild the country. He was posthumously named Fa Jieyan, and was named Guang for being able to carry on the previous cause. He was also named Guang for his outstanding achievements, and was posthumously named Guang again.
He should be called King Weiguang of Qi!"
The court posthumously conferred the title of king on Lu Cheng, gave him a superior posthumous title, and sent important officials such as Luo Yi to express their condolences to show the court's attention.
This is a grand event that the Lu clan has not had in hundreds of years.
The marquises of the Lu family held a grand mourning ceremony in Linzi. Not only the sons of Lu Cheng, but also the marquises of Lu Ze's lineage also participated in this major event of the Lu clan.
Luo Ling sat in Zhaocheng, somewhat silent. Lu Cheng was his only friend, who came to Zhaocheng a month before his death.
Lu Cheng is a truly wise man. Even the royal family members can fall into decline, let alone the Lu family. It is too difficult to preserve all those marquises.
Life and death, fortune and disaster are all determined by heaven. Before he died, he came to Zhaocheng just to see Luo Ling again and say a few words of gratitude.
The complete division of Qi made the world's attention focus on Zhao. It was the last vassal state that could threaten the imperial court. Among the Three Jins, Zhao was the backbone.
King Zhao might not be able to bear such pressure, and his health had always been poor, so he caught the last train to the underworld at the end of winter. After his death, the atmosphere in the world became better. After the disharmonious factors were eliminated, the whole world became harmonious.
The two largest vassal kingdoms that connected counties were broken up into countries with no more than one county. Moreover, even in these one-county areas, the second largest county or even the largest county was usually granted to the Marquis of Che, especially in the kingdoms of Qi and Zhao, where many of the Marquis of Che had their fiefs.
Extend favor.
Although everyone knew that this was an open conspiracy of the imperial court, the words "enfeoffment" were by no means ironic, but a grace that was truly recognized by everyone in the world.
The sons of the princes, who had originally gained nothing except the eldest son, were truly grateful to the court and firmly supported its orders. These talents were the majority of the people in the world.
With the death of Xiao He, the oldest group of founding heroes passed away, and now the younger group of founding heroes are also beginning to pass away.
A person's mood will be affected by the environment. When friends of the same generation pass away one after another, the mood will be extremely depressed in that environment and atmosphere. If one is already sick and there is no modern medical technology, he may leave the world quietly.
…
South Korea.
Luo Yi hurried to King Han's palace. He had no obstruction here and walked straight into the palace.
First, I saw a group of people in the palace, including the Princess of Han, the Crown Prince, Liu Ruyi's other sons, and a group of Korean ministers. When Liu Ruyi was seriously ill, they naturally gathered here.
Behind the crowd was Liu Ruyi, his face looked pale and sick, and Luo Yi's heart darkened.
Seeing Luo Yi coming, Queen Han and others made way and retreated to both sides. This is Luo Yi's position in the Kingdom of Han.
Everyone knows that the Kingdom of Korea can exist, and King Liu Ruyi of Han can live to this day, because Luo Yi is holding up the sky of Korea!
Luo Yi himself had mixed feelings.
Luo Yi had at least three parts of the credit for Liu Ying's secure position as crown prince. He should have been an important minister assisting Liu Ying.
But human destiny is so wonderful. Liu Bang trusted him too much, so he entrusted Liu Ruyi's life and death to him. Luo Yi gave up the glory of Chang'an City and took Liu Ruyi to Han State. For Luo Yi's sake, Lu Zhi did not make things difficult for Liu Ruyi and his mother, especially letting go of the stupid woman Qi Ji.
"Teacher, you are finally here."
Luo Yi didn't say anything, but sat beside Liu Ruyi's sickbed, listening to Liu Ruyi quietly: "Sometimes in my spare time, I would think, if I was also the son of Queen Gao, would the throne fall on me?
If that is the case, when I die, I will definitely let you, my teacher, be the regent. Ruyi does not have outstanding talents, but it is a pity that you wasted so much time in Korea, wasting your talents."
Liu Ruyi really felt guilty. Although Luo Yi had never taught him the skills of governing a country out of concern for his stability, Liu Ruyi could tell his ability from Luo Yi's actions.
Being stuck in this corner of Korea for years is such a waste.
Luo Yi opened his mouth to comfort him, "Your Majesty, you are too serious. This is the fate of life.
Moreover, the current regent is my brother, which is an honor to our family. He has shown his talents in serving as deputy prime minister in the court these years.
Perhaps even if I really became regent, I still wouldn’t be able to do what I have now.”
Liu Ruyi smiled bitterly, looked at Luo Yi's gray hair, and said with sore eyes: "Teacher, I wanted to see you off to the end, but I didn't expect you to be the one sending off the young."
Luo Yi was silent, his face looking a little sad. It was not just Liu Ruyi that he thought of. His brothers, and Acai as well, were all already quite old, especially his eldest brother Luo Ling and second brother Luo Zhongkan, who were already in their old age and might pass away at any time.
Although Luo Xin is younger than Luo Yi, he has worked hard to assist in state affairs over the years. The brave general who could save people from the midst of thousands of troops in the past has become even healthier than Luo Yi.
Liu Ruyi was talking here, and Luo Yi was listening quietly, responding a sentence or two from time to time, and then he heard Liu Ruyi's voice getting lower and lower, and his hands were getting tighter and tighter, and finally suddenly loosened.
Luo Yi was silent for a moment, and no one in the hall spoke. Everyone was waiting quietly.
Luo Yi raised his head slightly and looked at the dome of the palace. It seemed that he could see through the wood and tiles and directly reach the blue sky.
"Emperor Gao, Liu Ruyi did not die a violent death. I have not failed you in your trust."
Thinking this in his heart, Luo Yi stood up and said to Princess Han: "The king has passed away, Queen, please accept my condolences."
Everyone trembled and then knelt on the ground.
It was as if a switch was turned on, and the sound of sobbing and sorrow suddenly rang out.
Luo Yi looked at the people in the hall and sighed, "I will apply to the court for the king's posthumous honors. I will certainly be impartial and impartial. Please rest assured, Queen."
Queen Han wept upon hearing this and said, "I thank you, my Lord."
Luo Yi walked out of King Han's palace, and a strand of hair suddenly fell down. He stretched out his hand to see, and it was full of lifeless gray. There were fallen leaves flying in the palace, and the withered yellow leaves fell to the ground casually, and then were covered by dust. The palace servants had no time to sweep it. The place was full of a sense of withering and desolation, as if foreshadowing the fate of the owner of the palace.
Luo Yi also felt a little emotional, and said to himself: "Thinking back to the days when I just walked out of Luo Village, it was a vibrant scene. I didn't expect it to be like this in the blink of an eye."
Since Luo Yi was born, he has known quite a few people. He has an easy-going personality and is quite popular. With the passing of Liu Ruyi, he has no friends in this world except his brothers.
As Luo Yi walked along, he began to recall his life. At the beginning, Liu Bang had said with great enthusiasm, "I am willing to fight for you," and he did not expect that he would destroy Qin and become the King of Han in one battle. He became Liu Bang's most trusted minister and planned everything with him. When he was fighting for the world, that group of warriors who went through life and death were all around him.
Fan Kuai, Xiahou, and Zhou Bo.
All dead.
“This is the only way our group can go.”
Luo Yi exhaled lightly, and he boarded the carriage. "The road ahead will be walked by the people of the future."
When you come to Korea, you naturally have to go to Zhaocheng.
Zhaocheng seemed to never change, the population would not change, the layout of the city would not change, the only difference was that the city walls became a little older, and the bluestones bore some traces of age.
Luo Yi met his elder brother. Luo Ling's hair and beard were already white, but his whole body was like the sun, always warm. His statues were in many ancestral halls. He was the master of the four seasons and the god of the world.
The first thing he said when he saw Luo Yi was, "Ayi, are you here to see me for the last time?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yi bowed down immediately. In front of his brother who was like a father to him, no matter how old he was, he was just a child.
"Yi has seen too many friends pass away in the past two years. I just came back from Korea and saw Liu Ruyi pass away. The things that Emperor Gao had asked of Yi are also over. At that moment, Yi had a glimmer of understanding. This might be Yi's deadline. He has completed all his missions and it is time to end it."
There was a lot of loneliness in his words. Luo Ling was silent for a moment, then said: "Go to Anyang, Ah Cai is waiting for you."
Luo also bowed his head and set out on the road to Anyang State.
“Brother!”
Luo Cai said happily that she was very happy to see Luo Yi again. Ever since she decided to live in seclusion in Anyang State, the two siblings had very few opportunities to meet because of the long distance between them.
Then she noticed that Luo Yi's face was a little pale, and his body was even a little shaky. She hurried over to support Luo Yi and asked worriedly, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Yi felt a little weak and said helplessly: "I am old and tired from traveling so much."
As he spoke, his body shook again.
