"The King of the Clouds said I could live for two years, but unexpectedly I didn't even last five months!"
"My illness came on suddenly. You must send someone to the Hetao region immediately to inform the King of Yunzhong. Don't forget the edict I gave him at the beginning of the year!"
"I want both of you to join the King of Yunzhong in helping the King of Chenliu ascend the throne!"
"Before making contact with the King of Clouds, remember not to tell anyone, not even the Queen Mother!"
After saying this, he held the two men's hands tightly and wouldn't let go until they knelt down and kowtowed, vowing to do it even at the cost of their lives. Only then did Liu Hong suddenly close his eyes.

"Will the King of Yunzhong really follow His Majesty's wishes and cooperate with us to support the King of Chenliu?"
Jian Shuo didn't believe Liu Wei would listen to him.
He controlled the Western Garden Army, and the Imperial Guards in the palace also obeyed his orders.
"He will definitely listen to His Majesty!"
"You have no idea how happy His Majesty was the night the King of Clouds parted from him!"
"King Yunzhong is ambitious, but he is also very filial!"
