In the eyes of outsiders.
Ying Ying often came to Cai's house, mostly to play.
However, little did she know that her real purpose was to study.
Studying here, she can learn many different things, such as...
Cai Jing's life wisdom.
This is a rare treasure.
A little later.
When Ying Ying was about to return to the palace.
Cai Jing suddenly kept her and held her on his lap.
Just like doting on his granddaughter, he doted on her.
"When our Ying Er grows up, who will she marry?"
Hearing this.
Ying Ying responded in a baby voice, "If I were to marry...I'd marry a man like my father."
Cai Jing couldn't help but burst into laughter, knocked his head, and said earnestly:
"Ying Er is quite ambitious."
"Can you promise grandpa one thing?"
Ying Ying asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Cai Jing stroked his beard and said, "Don't come to see Grandpa these days."
"Grandpa... wants to go home."
Ying Ying frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, but she didn't say anything.
"Then wait until grandpa comes back, Ying'er will come to see him again."
Cai Jing smiled and nodded, "Okay, but... don't rush to find Grandpa."
Then.
Cai Jing personally escorted Ying Ying out of the house.
After the little girl walked away.
He then spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this, Cai Yong hurried forward and supported him.
"If you hadn't been burdened by politics these years, you could have lived a long life."
If Cai Jing was still the corrupt official he used to be.
Then his body would never be like this now.
Unfortunately...
This old man has exhausted all his efforts for the revival of the Qin Dynasty.
If the body lacks vitality, it cannot be replenished no matter what.
Cai Jing glanced at the bustling street not far away, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of arc.
"It would be a pity to die if I could see the Great Qin of today."
No matter how the world evaluates him in the future.
His political achievements can never be erased.
He contributed in part to the revival of the Qin Dynasty.
This is undeniable.
Cai Jing did not return to his residence.
Instead, he came to the study.
With nothing to do, I started writing and drawing.
After a long time of hard work, I saw only four words on the rice paper:
【The Great Age of Taichu】
Now, it's getting late.
The sky outside the study is bright with a bright moon and sparse stars.
A few insects were chirping in the yard.
Cai Jing looked at the four words with great satisfaction, then lay down on a throne and slowly closed his eyes.
After dozing off for a while, he felt extremely tired.
So he forced himself to stay awake and put on his former official uniform without disturbing anyone.
In front of him were some things given to him by Ying Yuan.
For example, jade ruyi, golden medal of immunity from death, etc.
Then he held a candle and sat down in front of the window.
I gently opened the window and looked at the pitch-black outside, not knowing what I was looking at.
Those eyes, which exuded death but seemed particularly bright, seemed to flash through one scene after another.
In the end, it froze on the last meeting with Ying Yuan.
He couldn't help but smile and said:
"People say I'm controversial, so let them say that."
"My life has not been lived in vain."
"First, I met the favor of the late emperor, and then I met the current emperor, who can be called the greatest emperor of all time. As a minister, this is enough."
Speaking of this.
He threw the candle in front of him far out of the window.
Just a gentle breeze at night blew, and the candlelight falling to the ground was extinguished.
There was only darkness in Cai Jing's pupils.
He closed his eyes again and murmured,
"It's time to go to bed."
He pulled a blanket over himself.
Then there was the sound of snoring.
Cai Yong, who had been sitting on the steps outside the door, fell asleep leaning against the door edge after hearing Cai Jing's call.
I don’t know how long it took.
Cai Jing's calls stopped.
It's like a quiet night, ushering in a brief silence.
Cai Yong's hands loosened unconsciously.
The next morning.
The entire Cai Mansion was hung with mourning clothes.
Cai Jing's son Cai Yun went to the palace in person to report the death.
In the Xuanzheng Hall.
When Ying Yuan heard the news, he was obviously stunned.
He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, even if Cai Jing had not helped him to become incompetent and lose his country.
However, after spending so much time together, some friendship has developed between us, regardless of age difference.
Now that the person is gone, how can he not feel sad?
The emperor is also a human being.
At this time, Daji was standing beside Ying Yuan.
She frowned slightly, obviously feeling that this matter was a bit sudden.
After a while.
Ying Yuan finally uttered a sentence slowly, "Your father didn't feel too much pain when he passed away, did he?"
Cai Yun knelt on the ground and choked up, "Your Majesty, my father passed away in his sleep. He was not in any pain."
Ying Yuan nodded, looked at Daji beside him, and said:
"You will be in charge of Cai Jing's funeral. The Ministry of Rites will cooperate."
"Bury him according to the rites of a duke."
"As for Cai Yong... he was buried with the rites worthy of an emperor's father-in-law."
Daji nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
At this time, Cai Yan had already run to Cai's house and knelt down.
