The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the couch through the lattice window, warm and soft, bright and dazzling.

Huangfu Song, who was seriously ill and bedridden, slowly opened his eyes in a daze, subconsciously raised his hand to cover the strong light, but was unable to raise his arms, so he had to close his eyes again and panted.

Including today, he had been lying on the sickbed for two and a half months, without eating, and he continued his life with ginseng soup every day.

In fact, as early as early May, Huangfu Song was ill. He was in a coma for three days and four nights and almost couldn't wake up, so he left. However, when his eldest son Huangfu Jianshou was muttering in his ear that the emperor suddenly had a serious illness, Huangfu Song actually woke up from the coma and survived the disaster. For this reason, many old ministers in the court came to visit him, and many of them asked him why he suddenly woke up in a coma, but he was vague and did not reveal the truth to anyone.

In fact, although Huangfu Song was in a coma, he could not open his eyes, but his consciousness was very clear. If nothing unexpected happened, he would pass away peacefully in a coma and never wake up again. However, a sentence from his son Huangfu Jianshou accidentally touched his obsession, leaving him still worried and unfulfilled his wish, which prompted him to survive more and more intensely, so that he would linger on the verge of death and then wake up again.

Since then, a sense of obsession has supported Huangfu Song lying on the sickbed for more than two months, and it has continued until now.

Today, I saw the morning sun again, proving that he is still alive, his obsession has not yet faded, and his wish has not yet been fulfilled.

With a slight "creaking", Huangfu Jianshou gently pushed the door in, then opened the door and took the incense burner with cigarettes not far away to the outside of the door. This would allow the fresh air in the morning to enter the room. There was no wind today, and it was another sunny day. Don't worry about the invasion of cold evil.

"Father, I'm here to see you." He called out softly. Seeing Huangfu Song's fingers move, Huangfu Jianshou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Then he walked to the edge of the couch and opened the curtains, allowing the sun to shine in completely. After adapting to this for a while, he would no longer be eye-catching.

"Shou'er is here, hurry up, help him get up as his father." With a low moan, Huangfu Song opened his eyes again. He still felt the light was dazzling, but he was able to adapt.

After hearing this, Huangfu Jianshou struggled to support his father and sit up, and then put a specially sewn cushion on his back and let him sit on the couch.

After sitting down, Huangfu Jianshou tried the basin of hot water he had just brought. The water temperature was just right, so he wrung out the cloth towel to clean Huangfu Song's face and wiped his hands. He did these things every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, and had to wipe his father's body every day, and the maids were serving him at any time. In fact, Huangfu Jianshou's health was not good, he was a sick man. He was always sick and kept medicine away. Even so, he insisted on serving his father Huangfu Song himself, which was a rare filial son.

After everything was cleaned up, Huangfu Jianshou was so tired that he was sweating and panting, and couldn't help but want to cough, but because of his father's face, he endured it and took the basin out of the house and hid outside the room for a few coughs. After feeling a little more comfortable, he grinned and quickly returned to the room, sat by the couch and talked to his father.

Huangfu Jianshou thought that he had done nothing and his father could not find out all this, but he didn't know that Huangfu Song knew it well. He once lay on the couch in the middle of the night and cried secretly, unable to sleep all night. Huangfu Song rarely cried in his life. Even when he was detained by Dong Zhuo and was about to be executed, he never frowned, let alone burst into tears. However, when he saw his son who was contaminated with chronic diseases served him day after day, and was so tired that he was sweating profusely, he really felt distressed and wanted to die immediately to prevent his son from being burdened. But he had something to do and could not wait for the things he was thinking about, and he was unwilling to leave.

"These days are hard for a long time, and it is all for your father to drag you down." In the past half month, Huangfu Song has said this sentence almost every day, with a low tone and sounds casual. However, it is full of his love for his son and his self-blame for himself. However, he is not good at expressing his emotions, and will not be too fragile and too emotional in front of his son. He hopes that his son will be as strong as he once was, powerful and unyielding, and will not be overwhelmed by the disease.

Huangfu Jianshou smiled cheerfully: "My father is so serious. Those who are sons should be filial. This is all for the child, and this should be the case."

Huangfu Song smiled with relief: "My son and even filial people have such a son for their father in this life, and he will die without regrets. By the way, why haven't you seen you go out in the past few days? Could it be that there is another big event in the city?"

"Hi! If my father doesn't mention it, the child will almost forget it." Huangfu Jianshou slapped his forehead, exclaimed regretfully, and immediately said: "As my father said, strange things happened in the city these days, one more strange than the other, but the reason is unknown. The first thing is that the emperor and all officials went to the original sacrificial tomb of Loudi. It has been one month since then, but it has not returned for a long time, so that Changle Palace has closed the palace gate all day long and has not been on duty for a long time. Second, ten days ago, Sikong Lie suddenly mobilized his troops out of the city, and went in a hurry, heading straight to the east, and returned five days later.

The third is the matter of Sikong Li Jue. Four days ago, he took his only son Li Shi to the front line of Hanzhong. It is said that he was going to meet General Li Li, but the specific reason is unknown. But yesterday afternoon, the father and son returned to Chang'an. In the evening, it was reported that Li Jue was removed from his post as Sikong, served as the governor of Yongzhou, and was appointed as the governor of Yongzhou, and was in charge of the three dukes. When Li Li returned from the western expedition, he was about to leave Chang'an and rushed to Yongzhou to take office. Li Jue was dismissed for no reason, but his only son was promoted to General Pingko, promoted to the title of Marquis of Guannei, and stationed in Yanmen Pass.

The last strange thing is that from when, the Iron Cavalry of Huben Camp stationed in Meiwu quietly drove into the city and quietly took over the city gate defense. So in recent days, the city gate has been particularly strict. Anyone entering and leaving the city gate must undergo strict inspections and immediately seized if there is any suspicion. As for how to deal with these people, it is still unknown."

Huangfu Song leaned against the cushion and narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the four things his son said in his heart without missing a word, and pondering without saying a word.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and whispered: "Li Wenchang finally arranged Li Jue to where he should go so that Li Jue, who had suppressed for three years, could show his strength and consolidate the borders of the Western Regions. This is a long-term layout, and it was originally a dangerous move, but Li Li put Li Jue's only son Li Shi under the tent of Tengxiao in Bingzhou, and immediately broke the potential danger and turned dangerous moves into master moves. It was really clever.

From this point of view, Li Li has completed a comprehensive layout of the four prefectures under his rule, and has planted his trusted generals in various prefectures and counties, and has military power, strictly guarded the passes and dangerous city gates, and firmly controlled the situation. Now, Li Li, who has always kept him in his arms, was sent to the Yongzhou border, and the comprehensive layout has been announced to be completed. From then on, Li Li has no scruples and can let go of his hands and feet to show his ambitions."

Huangfu Jianshou was stunned when he heard this and said in surprise: "Why is the child becoming more and more confused the more he listened? The father's implication was that Li Li had always acted cautiously for Li Jue. How could this be possible?"

Huangfu Song grinned lovingly: "Shou'er is a fascination with the authorities. His eyes were covered by illusions, so he took the simplest things too complicated and the complicated things too simple. Ask you for your father, is it important for you to be a father?"

"Of course. In the child's heart, father is always ranked first, he is more important than Mount Tai, far exceeding the child's own life." Huangfu Jianshou said without hesitation.

Huangfu Song nodded with gratitude: "That's it. For you, father is more important than Mount Tai. It's not difficult to imagine where Li Jue occupies in Li Li's heart."

With a brief tone, Huangfu Song continued: "In fact, many people have misread Li Li, mistakenly thought that his weakness was romantic and greedy for beauty. They didn't know that Li Wenchang's real weakness was his uncle Li Jue, who raised him since childhood. It's a pity that all the officials in the court have been calculating Li Li, but they are troubled by not finding his pain. They don't know how to do it. Poor none of them realized that Li Li's weakness was actually in their sight. Li Jue was in charge of the court and fought with them openly and secretly all day long, but they turned a blind eye. Instead, they focused all their attention on Li Li who was outside the court. It was really putting the cart before the horse and extremely stupid. This is the dark under the light, Li Li's most clever method."

"Ah! Why is this happening?" Huangfu Jianshou was shocked when he heard this and said in suspicion: "Is Li Jue really that important?"

Huangfu Song nodded slightly and said slowly: "People all think that Li Jue is just Li Li's uncle, not his own parents, so they ignore Li Jue's existence, but they all forgot who raised Li Li. When Li Jue is alive, this problem is easily overlooked. However, once Li Jue dies, these potential facts will be discovered, so that the world can truly see Li Li's true face.

Li Li's parents died early, and the two brothers were raised by Li Jue and brought to the army, so that Li Li is now and now has the prominent status. Therefore, for Li Li and Li Xian brothers, Li Li is no less than their father. As the saying goes: The greatest kindness in the world is the kindness of their parents' raising. No matter what Li Li did wrong, Li Li would not and dare not attack him, otherwise what face would Li Li have to stand between heaven and earth? Just imagine, if all the officials in the court set their target on Li Jue from the beginning, all approached Li Jie, encouraged him to dominate the court and compete with Li Li; what should Li Li do?

Therefore, Li Li must be very distressed when he entered Chang'an and did not know how to place Li Jue. But this boy was indeed extremely smart, and the most difficult thing to solve was easily resolved by him. He withdrew from Chang'an himself and let Li Jue sit in the court. This move seems simple, but in fact it requires great mind and foresight. Who in the world can easily give up the power of Tongtian in front of him?"
