The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 254 Liu Qi is about to die
Zhang Wu and Zhang Zhongjing came to the outhouse, leaving the maid to take care of Liu Qi.

Only then did Zhang Zhongjing tell the truth: "Great Governor, Master Zhou Mu is extremely weak, and I'm afraid time is short!"

"Ah? How could this be? Master Zhou is so young, how could he..."

Although Zhang Wu knew that Liu Qi was a person who died early, it was too early now, and the others were even more surprised. How could Liu Qi suddenly die at such a young age!
Even an extremely intelligent person like Zhuge Liang didn't realize that Liu Qi was going to die earlier. Although he read more complicated books and dabbled in medical books, he was not very proficient after all.In the original book, when Lu Su came to Liu Bei to ask for Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang used Liu Qi as an excuse to refute Lu Su back, but Lu Su could tell at a glance that Liu Qi would die within half a year, but Zhuge Liang and others did not see it.

Zhang Zhongjing said: "Although Mr. Zhou Mu is young, he is too addicted to drinking and sex, and his body has been hollowed out long ago. The subordinates persuaded Mr. Zhou to pay attention to restraint two years ago, but Mr. Zhou... ..."

Although Zhang Zhongjing didn't finish speaking, everyone understood what he meant, and everyone basically knew Liu Qi's life style, which was just two things all day long, good wine and beauty.

As Liu Qi's guard captain, Li Gui was very clear about this matter, and he usually persuaded him a lot, but as a subordinate, he couldn't talk about it every day, and he couldn't eat and sleep with Liu Qi either.

Zhang Wu also knew that Liu Qi would eventually die of alcoholism, so he persuaded him many times, and told the people around Liu Qi to watch out, not to let Liu Qi drink so much alcohol, but still the same sentence, this kind of thing was said last time Just two times. If you really want to say too much, Liu Qi won't do anything to Zhang Wu, but he will still lose his temper with Li Gui and others.

Seeing that things have come to this point, Zhang Wu knows that Liu Qi may not live long, but Liu Qi is still a very sensitive person. If he dies of illness suddenly, it may have a certain impact, so this matter must be handled properly.

Therefore, Zhang Wu ordered Zhuge Liang to invite Liu Bei to come. Anyway, he, the father-in-law, is still Liu Qi's uncle. It is best for Liu Bei to take charge of this kind of matter.

Xiangyang Taishou's Mansion and State Shepherd's Mansion are not far away, so Liu Bei came soon, and by chance Hua Tuo also rushed over.

Because Hua Tuo often went to Xiangyang Taishou Mansion to check the body of Liu Bei's son Adou, so Liu Bei and Hua Tuo were also familiar with each other.

"Mr. Yuanhua is here too, what a trouble!" Liu Bei greeted first.

"Greetings to Uncle Liu Huang, the governor ordered me to diagnose Lord Zhou Mu, I will come and see."

"Mr. Lao, please!"

"Uncle please!"

After Hua Tuo arrived, he first went to Liu Qi's bedroom to give Liu Qi a diagnosis, and then he said the same thing as Zhang Zhongjing when he came out.

The medical skills of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are universally recognized. Now that the two great doctors have said so, everyone is sure that Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi is indeed terminally ill, and it won't be long.

Then, everyone began to think in their hearts.

Although Liu Qi has no real power, he is the nominal supreme leader of Jingzhou after all. If he dies, it will definitely bring some influence to Jingzhou, but the biggest thing is who will take over the position of Jingzhou Mu.

Of course, judging from the current situation, this seat must belong to the governor Zhang Wu. Not only the Jingzhou army would think so, but even all the aristocratic families and people in Jingzhou would think so.

However, Zhang Wu felt that it was not time to think about that matter, and there was no need to think about it at all. The most important thing now was to properly arrange Liu Qi's affairs, and try not to spread any bad remarks.

Therefore, Zhang Wu asked Liu Bei to stay in the State Shepherd's Mansion temporarily. Zhang Zhongjing and several doctors from Jingzhou Medical College were in charge of Liu Qi's treatment and recuperation. Accompanying Liu Qi, Jingzhou Biejia Liu Xian, Zhizhong Deng Yi and others also temporarily put down their work and went to the state pastoral mansion to take care of Liu Qi, and then ordered Wenpin to rush back to Xiangyang.

In this way, the people who are responsible for guarding and serving Liu Qi are basically Liu Biao's old generals and ministers except for the people of Liu's clan. Zhang Wu is avoiding suspicion.

Zhuge Liang and others also admire Zhang Wu's thoughtfulness in doing things very much. At this critical moment, letting all Liu Biao's old subordinates come forward can indeed express their own position and avoid many right and wrong.

Although everyone knows that the governor is an upright person, but this is done to avoid giving facts, especially the forces of Cao Cao and Sun Quan who don't know the truth of the matter, maybe they will release some rumors.

Liu Qi was seriously ill, so Zhang Wu had to postpone his plan to attack Jiangdong. In case Liu Qi died of illness, he had to stabilize Jingzhou first.

A few days later, Liu Qi's health became worse and worse. Just like what Zhang Zhongjing said, Liu Qi has been drinking too much in the past few years, and his vitality has been exhausted.

In fact, if Liu Qi had been able to pay attention to temperance two years ago, drink less alcohol, and take good care of his body, even if he could not fully recover, he might still be able to live for a few more years.But Liu Qi just can't control himself, and sometimes he doesn't care.

Perhaps since Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi has already seen through the world, and Liu Qi, who has never lived a happy life since he was a child, has no nostalgia for this world.Therefore, he indulged in wine and sex, and only wanted to be happy.

Liu Qi is actually very clear about his physical condition, because he doesn't even have the strength to get up now, and he knows that he is dying.

So, Liu Qi said to Liu Pan beside him: "Brother Pan, I'm about to die, please hurry up, please come to the governor, I, I want to explain the funeral!"

Liu Pan cried: "Cousin, why do you say that, you will definitely get better!"

"Brother Pan, I know in my heart, you, you do what I say, don't waste time!"

Liu Pan also knew the truth. In the past few days, he also found that Liu Qi's health was getting worse and worse, and he might really die now, so he quickly informed Liu Bei, and asked Zhang Wu and other officials to come.

Zhang Wu and Chen Sun came to the Prefectural Mufu with Mi Heng, military advisors, generals, and soldiers. At the same time, officials from Jingzhou also came together.

Liu Qi suddenly became more energetic, and was able to sit up with the help of the maid. Zhang Wu knew that this might be a flashback.

Liu Qi looked at the civil and military officials and said, "Everyone, I'm about to die. Thank you all for helping my father and son for so many years. Qi hereby expresses his gratitude! To be honest, I'm not a good state shepherd, and I didn't give Jingzhou The contribution of the people is far worse than that of my father! But fortunately, I have such a heroic governor in Jingzhou, who can defeat Cao Cao, retire Sun Quan, keep Jingzhou stable, and benevolent to the people, making Jingzhou more prosperous than before. I have some dignity to see my late father underground!"

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he coughed a few times, then took out the seal of Jingzhou Shepherd from under the quilt, and continued: "Therefore, after I die, I will ask the governor to succeed me as Jingzhou Shepherd, and Qi will die in peace!"
