Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

The sharp pain dissipated, and the consciousness gradually became clear. Chen Hen was relieved, and only heard old doctor Zhang speak.

"My lord, I'm afraid it won't work..."

It wasn't until just now that Chen Hen finally understood.

The so-called script of the wise emperor and virtuous ministers must end in the death of the virtuous ministers.

No matter how the counter-insurgency goes, even if things go too well in this life, the system will let him die in Jiangnan.

A virtuous minister should remain in the annals of history and in people's hearts, but he cannot remain in the world.

Chen Hen wanted to tell Li Yan that he was not in pain, so that he would not be sad.But he couldn't speak.

Only heard the old doctor Zhang said again: "My lord, the lifespan of a cat is not long. In fact, after calculation, this cat has also reached its age."

Li Yan didn't speak, but just touched the head of Chen Maomao in his arms.

And Chen Hen was stunned, the cat of the Hou Mansion?Chen Maomao?But he didn't have much strength yet, so he could only rest on his stomach.

After a long while, Li Yan said in a low voice: "Go down, I will make things difficult for you."

"Don't dare." The imperial doctors who were helpless around a cat hurriedly bowed and said, "It's the minister who is incompetent."

At this time, only the old doctor Zhang dared to persuade Li Yan: "The emperor has tried his best. This cat has reached its age and should go. As long as the war in the south of the Yangtze River is successful, Lord Hou will return to the imperial court. At that time Just make it clear with Lord Hou. Maybe I should pay more attention outside the palace to see if there are similar cats..."

Li Yan waved his hand and sent a group of people down.

Chen Hen finally understood, it should be because Chen Maomao had reached his age, he himself died, and his still warm soul attached to Chen Maomao.

In other words, he became Chen Maomao.

It's just that he can't figure it out a little bit, isn't Chen Maomao left in Chang'an by him?When he died, Li Yan and old doctor Zhang were still in the south of the Yangtze River, how could they get together?

Just now the old doctor Zhang Caizhang said that he only needs to wait for the victory in the Jiangnan war, and Lord Hou's troops will return to the court. What does this mean?The war is not over yet, hasn't He Xing caught it yet?

But he...

Chen Hen was shocked, and he understood a little bit in a trance.

He was dreaming again, continuing the dream of falling into the water last time.

The last dream was that he imprisoned Li Yan, went to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the rebellion, and finally dragged He Xing to his death.The dream ends with his death.

This time he was already dead, and his soul returned to Chang'an. It happened that Chen Maomao also died.

In the last dream, he sneaked a last look at Li Yan.When the Zhongyi Hou Mansion was set on fire, and the plaque of the Hou Mansion fell down, Chen Mao Mao was jumping out of the Hou Mansion.

Li Yan brought Chen Maomao back to the palace to raise him, and that's why this scene happened.

He turns into a cat and continues to dream about his past life.

Maybe it was because he suddenly became a cat and he wasn't quite used to it, or maybe Chen Maomao had just died and his body was a little weak. Chen Hen felt that he couldn't use his strength, so he just lay down and rested.

It must be a dream, Chen Hen thought listlessly.

After sending everyone away, Li Yan hugged the cat and sat on the couch without saying a word.

But even if it was a dream, he didn't want to see Li Yan suffer.Chen Hen gathered up some strength, meowed at Li Yan, and then rubbed his head against his hand.

The war in the south of the Yangtze River was tight, and Li Yan couldn't always accompany a cat. After hugging it for a while, Li Yan wrapped the cat in a small blanket and put it beside the desk.

Li Yan himself knelt in front of the case to review the memorial, turning his head to look at the cat from time to time.

Chen Hen still had no strength, so he fell asleep on the desk.

I slept through the night.

It was Eunuch Gao's voice that woke him up.

"My lord, it's been an hour, and it's time to deliver the meal."

Li Yan rubbed the center of his eyebrows, drew two cinnabar circles on the memorial, and said, "No need."

How about that?Chen Maomao struggled and fell off the desk. As if he could not walk, he fell step by step, walked to Li Yan, and pulled his sleeve with his claws.

Chen Hen really can't walk yet, and he can't walk with the body of a cat.

Eunuch Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you should use some? The cat is also persuading me."

Li Yan lowered his head, patted Chen Maomao, and finally said: "Chuan Shan."

Eunuch Gao breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew to make arrangements.Fearing that the emperor will regret it, he will come back soon and ask the emperor to drive and have dinner.

Li Yan got up and only took two steps out. Looking back, Chen Maomao was following behind him, walking staggeringly.

"Get some food for the cat, too."

"Yes." Eunuch Gao said and was about to step forward to hug him.

Before he could get close, Li Yan leaned over and picked up the cat.

Li Yan ate at the table, and Chen Maomao ate at the table.

Chen Hen thought for a while before he remembered how Chen Maomao usually ate. Enduring the shame of covering his face, Chen Hen stuck out his tongue and licked the fish soup in front of him.

I don't know if it's a cat's nature, but Chen Hen suddenly felt that fish was the most delicious thing in the world.

He was eating happily, at the other end, Li Yan put down his jade chopsticks, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, and went back to critique papers.

Calculating the time and washing hands before and after, Li Yan took less than half a quarter of an hour to eat.

When Li Yan sat down in front of the case again, he raised his eyes and saw Chen Maomao trying to climb over the high threshold.

Chen Maomao used to be a fat but agile cat, but Chen Hen was not.

It took a lot of effort for him to stumble up to Li Yan.

Li Yan still wrapped the cat in a small blanket, let him sleep, and took a pen to criticize.

Chen Hen was still very uncomfortable, and fell asleep on his stomach for a while.

When I woke up again, it was already late at night.

It was Eunuch Gao's voice that woke him up: "My lord, go to sleep on the couch?"

Li Yan supported his head, opened his eyes and glanced at him: "No, I just take it easy."

After he finished speaking, he straightened up, and took the memorial to read again.

Chen Maomao got out from under the blanket, and still tugged at his sleeve with his paw.

One person and one cat tried to persuade Li Yan to get up.

Li Yan went to the side hall to wash and change clothes, while Eunuch Gao stayed in the inner room to make the bed and burn incense.

When Eunuch Gao went out, Li Yan hadn't come back yet. He patted Chen Maomao's furry head and said, "When will Lord Hou come back? Little Maomao, tell this old slave, when will your Master Hou come back? "

Chen Maomao just meowed at him.

"You tell the old slave, so that the old slave can tell the emperor, so that the emperor can eat and sleep with peace of mind."

This time, Chen Maomao didn't even meow.

"I'm confused, why would I think of asking you?" Eunuch Gao sighed softly, "He doesn't even want the emperor, will he still want you?"

Chen Hen was startled, a little dazed.

At this time, Li Yan just came back, and Eunuch Gao said, "Your Majesty, should this old slave take the cat down?"

Li Yan stood by the door with a gloomy complexion, he only said: "No need, keep it."

Li Yan fell asleep on the couch, and Chen Maomao fell asleep on the floor next to the couch.

The cat's eyes are really useful, Chen Hen can see him clearly, even the worry between his brows can be clearly seen.He also knew that Li Yan didn't sleep at all, just closed his eyes and thought about things.

A small candle was left in front of the bed, and only a short portion of it was burned off. An urgent report came from Jiangnan.

Hearing the ringing of the summons, Li Yan quickly sat up, put on his clothes and got up without hesitation.

Chen Maomao meowed, and hurriedly followed.

Candles were lit again in Yangju Hall, and Li Yan, who had just rested for a while, sat back in front of the desk again.

Chen Maomao quietly squeezed his head over, as if he also wanted to read the urgent report from Jiangnan. Eunuch Gao said softly, "My lord, should this old slave carry the cat down?"

Before Li Yan had time to open the urgent mail, he turned to look at Chen Maomao. Chen Maomao flinched when he saw him like this.

"It probably also... misses him."

Li Yan stopped talking, and turned to look at the notes Jiang Jiang sent back. He didn't read two lines, and his expression became more serious.

Chen Hen also leaned over to read it, and after reading only two lines, he knew the general content. This was about the fall of Qingpi. At this point, his layout was complete, and the time to counterattack had come.

This note was written by Xu Xing.According to Chen Hen's previous instructions, if he dies, keep the fact that he is dead from Li Yan and don't report it.

It was supposed to be a happy event, but Li Yan squeezed the memorial in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Prince Xuansu enters the palace."

He was dug up from the bed in the middle of the night, and Prime Minister Su was too old to stay up late, so he sat in front of Li Yan with a tired face.

Li Yan threw the memorial that he had just received onto the case, and said sharply, "How dare he make his own claim on such a big matter?"

"Since it was set up by Lord Hou, Lord Hou naturally has his own ideas."

"Take nineteen cities in the south of the Yangtze River as bait, and he is still on the front line, how dare he?"

"It's not that I haven't persuaded you, Lord Hou said..."

"say what?"

"Hou Ye said: 'If all of you here can come up with a better solution, I will...'" Su Xiang sighed, "The time has come, the emperor and his ministers are staying in Chang'an and doing their best to cooperate with Jiangnan. I owe Lord Hou a lot of hard work."

"Of course I know." Li Yan grabbed the small incense burner on the table, but did not drop it, and put it down again, "It's just that he..."

As if eager to prove something, Su Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Your Majesty is fine."

"You..." Li Yan thought for a while, then whispered, "Write a letter and ask him if he is injured. If he answers the letter, he will send it to me."

Li Yan didn't want to write a letter to ask by himself, after all, the bad debt between the two of them hasn't been settled yet.

Reluctant to write the letter myself, but would still like to know how he is doing.

Su responded, but with a guilty conscience, he comforted Li Yan and himself, saying: "The situation in the south of the Yangtze River has turned better, Lord Hou will be back soon."

He can't come back, he's dead.

As Chen Hen had expected before, once the battle turned around, it would be very easy to regain Jiangnan and Central Fujian.

Jiangnan sent back good news one after another, and Li Yan no longer had to go without eating and sleeping all day long, and he didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to read Jiangnan's excerpts.

At the end of the fifth year of Yongjia, Minzhong was Suping, and the class teacher returned to the court.

The army returned to the court in the sixth year of Yongjia, and the last light snow of the year fell that day, and the canopy was covered with a thin layer of snow. Li Yan stood on the tower in a cloak, with all the court officials behind him.

Before Li Yan went out, he took Chen Maomao with him.

"You miss him too."

Chen Maomao is hiding in his wide sleeves—this year, Chen Maomao seems to have rejuvenated, with new hair, and not eating much, she lost weight very quickly.

Li Yan stood in the city tower, inspecting thousands of soldiers, hastily looked at it several times, but he didn't see anyone he wanted to see.

Until Wu Duan, who returned from commanding the army, presented the memorial to him.

Chen Maomao hid in his sleeve and read it. It was written by Chen Hen earlier, before he died. He told Li Yan that he would stay in the fief and that he would not come back and never come back again. up.

After Li Yan read every word, his Adam's apple moved twice, he closed his eyes, and asked again in a low voice: "He's not coming back?"

——He's back, but you don't know it.
