Chapter 22 The final memorial

Wei Zheng was seriously ill, and Li Ke did not dare to delay any of it, so he quickly rode his horse to the Wei Mansion.

In fact, Li Ke really couldn't like Wei Zheng, and I'm afraid even Li Shimin, who always regarded him as a mirror, might not like him. After all, who would like a mirror that always reveals his shortcomings? If it weren't for this, Li Shimin in Tang history wouldn't have pushed Wei Zheng's tombstone after Wei Zheng was the one who had done this.

Since Li Ke returned to Beijing as a scourge, Wei Zheng has been asking for trouble for Li Ke, persuaded Li Ke to release him and blocked Li Ke from the Northern Expedition. Even when Li Ke became the crown prince, Wei Zheng has made many embarrassment, which has caused a lot of obstacles to Li Ke.

But when Li Ke learned that Wei Zheng was critically ill, Li Ke felt inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable, because Li Ke knew that when Wei Zheng left, the Tang Dynasty lost more than a minister who could tell the truth and dared to tell the truth, but also lost the conscience of the court. Wei Zheng was unique. Since Wei Zheng, there was no such person in the world.

Li Ke quickly rushed to the Wei Mansion with a heart. Looking at the fact that he had not seen Luo Su outside the Wei Mansion, he knew that he was still late, so he hurried into the mansion and went to look for Wei Zheng.

Li Ke had also visited Wei Zheng before, so the servants of the Wei Mansion knew Li Ke. Seeing Li Ke enter the mansion, they hurried to the inner courtyard to report.

As soon as Li Ke entered the inner courtyard, he had not yet arrived at the inner room where Wei Zheng was recuperating, and he smelled a strong smell of medicine. It was obvious that before Li Ke came here, the Wei Mansion had just boiled many medicine soups.

"I'm going to pay homage to the prince." Li Ke entered the inner courtyard. Wei Zheng's eldest son Wei Shuyu and a group of the mansion were waiting outside the inner door. He watched Li Ke step forward and leaned over to worship.

Li Ke was anxious to see Wei Zheng, so he didn't go to make polite controversy with Wei Shuyu. He came up and said, "No need to be polite to Ruxi (the character "Wei Shuyu"). I will go to see Wei Xiang first."

As he said that, Li Ke ignored others and walked straight into the inside.

When Li Ke walked into the inner room, he saw Wei Zheng lying on the bed at a glance. He couldn't help but feel sad. At this time, Wei Zheng did not look like the same as before? Although Wei Zheng was not fat in the past, he was still in a moderate shape, but now Wei Zheng has lost his appearance. The flesh on his cheeks has been deeply trapped in, and he has disappeared from his past appearance.

Li Ke leaned against the window? Looking at Wei Zheng's appearance? And his eyes that were already gone, he said, "I haven't seen each other for a few days, why has Wei Xiang lost so much weight?"

Wei Zheng was originally a little confused, and heard Li Ke's words in a trance? It slowly seemed to be in spirit. He opened his eyes and looked at Li Ke. After confirming that Li Ke was right in front of him, Wei Zheng struggled and wanted to get up, obviously to greet Li Ke.

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly supported Wei Zheng? He slowly put him down and said, "Wei Xiangran is sick? There is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Prince." Wei Zheng said thanking and lay down again.

Li Ke sighed: "I am governing the country under the order of my father. I dare not neglect everything. I have been busy dealing with middle and middle schools in recent days? How many days will I visit the mansion in the future? I never thought it was already such a land."

Wei Zheng said slowly: "Is it so old and sick? I can't help but fail to share the worries of the prince. I hope the prince won't blame me."

Li Ke said: "What did Wei Xiang say? Wei Xiang is the pillar of the country. This time, he should take rest as the first step. There are other people who take care of the affairs in the court, so there is no need to worry."

Wei Zheng asked Li Ke: "Crown Prince, do you have the latest news about His Majesty's Eastern Expedition?"

Li Ke said: "My father has seized the city of Liaodong. Soon, he will go south to An City. He will only take over the entire city after taking over An City."

After listening to Li Ke's words, Wei Zheng did not comment on what Li Ke said, but instead forced himself to take a memorial from his pillow, tremblingly, and said to Li Ke: "The old minister is not done, I am afraid I will not wait for the day when His Majesty returns to the capital. I will ask the crown prince to hand it over to His Majesty this memorial on behalf of His Majesty."

Although Wei Zheng's voice was weak, his tone was very firm, and his eyes were a little stubborn. There was no need to read it. Li Ke could guess what was said in Wei Zheng's memorial, which must be about the Eastern Expedition.

Wei Zheng always thought that it was useless to get it from Liaodong, and opposed Li Shimin's personal expedition to Liaodong. Wei Zheng was an extremely stubborn person and would not change in such a short period of time.

Li Ke was not too surprised by Wei Zheng's actions. Wei Zheng's temperament has always been like this. As long as he felt it was right, he would not take into account Li Shimin's feelings.

Li Ke did not mention Wei Zheng's memorial, but said to Wei Zheng: "The silkworm will not be separated until it dies, and the candle will not be dried until it turns into ashes. Wei Xiang is concerned about national affairs, and he boils the oil and the lamp is dry. Unexpectedly, he is still concerned about national affairs at this time."

"The silkworm will not be gone until it dies, and the candle will not be dried until it turns into ashes. Good poems and sentences. The old minister has been an official in the court for many years, and has punished many people. He has also disobeyed the prince. I didn't expect that when I die, I could still get the prince's words as a comment, which is worth the vain life." Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke and smiled at Li Ke.

Li Ke just blurted out a word, not thinking too much, but unexpectedly Wei Zheng was attracted by his words. Li Ke said, "I just said casually and asked Wei Xiang to laugh."

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "The old ministers have always highly praised the talent of the prince. When the old ministers see the prince's poems, they are not as gorgeous as those of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but are simple and natural. This is the way to achieve great success. It has been more literary style than Xue Daoheng."

Li Ke is a copycat, but the casual sentence that Wei Zheng is so famous, and he can't help feeling embarrassed for a moment. Li Ke said, "I just got it for a while, and Wei Xiang praised it."

Li Ke is a humble word, but how could Wei Zheng be useless to praise Li Ke like this? Wei Zheng continued to Li Ke: "If you consider the talent of writing, the crown prince will be more than the King of Wei. It's a pity that the crown prince wasted his natural resources and was a bit of a martial arts. It's really a pity that the old ministers regretted it."

As soon as Wei Zheng's words came out, Li Ke didn't know what Wei Zheng wanted to express. Wei Zheng always valued literature and neglected military affairs. Now that the Spring and Autumn Period are about to end, I am afraid that I would like to follow this opportunity to persuade Li Ke again.

Li Ke lowered his head and did not rush to reply to Wei Zheng's words. Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke and remained silent, and said to Li Ke with difficulty: "The prince is a smart man, so he can naturally guess what the old minister wrote in his letter."

Li Ke nodded and said, "Wei Xiang is upright, and if you don't make a reply, there will be another one. You don't need to read this memorial, and I can guess it."

Wei Zhengqiang supported Li Ke and said, "This memorial by the old minister is not only written for His Majesty, but also for the crown prince. The crown prince is the crown prince. The future monarch is so important that he should know the current national conditions of the Tang Dynasty. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he has been fighting for many years. Now the people are exhausted. He should rest with the people, value literature and neglect military achievements. This is the right way."

"Ahem cough cough..."

Wei Zheng said, obviously feeling a little excited, his chest kept rising and falling, and he coughed rapidly.

Looking at Wei Zheng who was already dying but still caring about the national affairs, how could Li Ke bear to hurt him again? Li Ke quickly responded: "What Wei Xiang said is that the Tang Dynasty has been fighting hard for a long time, and he will quit the war in the future, promote civil affairs and rest with the people. This is also what I discussed with Master Cen."

When Wei Zheng heard this, a smile slowly appeared on his face. Cen Wenben was also a civil servant and also valued literature. In the future, Li Ke ascended the throne, Cen Wenben would have to rule in the name of the emperor's teacher. If Cen Wenb participated, it would naturally not be fake.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "So good, so good..."
