Chapter 87 Lin Xiangru's Death
Zhao Dan hurried out of the palace with Yu Xin, got on a carriage and rushed towards Guocheng, Handan.
If the original critical battle situation made Zhao Dan feel very bad, then the news that Lin Xiangru was critically ill at this moment undoubtedly further aggravated the emotion in Zhao Dan's heart.
This is an old minister who is both capable, prestige, and loyal to Zhao State and Zhao Dan.
In this era when job-changing in other countries is like job-changing in other companies, people like Lin Xiangru are really rare to see.
But it was just such an old minister who was about to die at such a critical moment!
The carriage ran all the way, and entered Guocheng under the escort of hundreds of Zhao court guards. After another cup of tea, he stopped at a mansion.
Of course, this is Lin Xiangru's mansion. This mansion is on the same street as the mansions of the rich ministers of the Zhao State such as the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Duping Jun Tian Dan.
However, compared with the other high-gate mansions, Lin Xiangru's mansion looks more restrained and quiet.
Zhao Dan got off the horse and walked into the door without saying a word.
As soon as he walked into the gate of Lin Mansion, an old woman, with more than a dozen men and women with sad faces, saluted respectfully to Zhao Dan: "I have met the king."
Zhao Dan stopped, and it was obvious that these were Lin Xiangru's wife and children. Considering Lin Xiangru's age, the old woman at the forefront should be Lin Xiangru's wife.
Zhao Dan stepped forward and comforted Mrs. Lin with a few words, then looked up at Ling Tangxian, an eunuch who had already arrived here in advance, and said, "What's the situation?"
Wangxian glanced at Mrs. Lin in front of Zhao Dan, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing this, Zhao Dan understood, and said a few more words to Mrs. Lin, then stepped into the hall.
I saw Zhuxian whispering to Zhao Dan’s ear: “According to what the palace doctor said, I’m afraid the end is today.”
That's right, for Lin Xiangru's condition, Zhao Dan sent all the imperial physicians from Zhao to stay at the center for 24 hours.
It's a pity that this doesn't seem to be of use.
Zhao Dan shook his head and said after several seconds: "Let me lead the way."
A moment later, in a bedroom with a very strong Chinese medicine smell, Zhao Dan met Lin Xiangru, who had not met for a while.
At this moment, Lin Xiangru was lying on the couch, her eyes closed, her face was extremely thin, and she looked completely skinny and withered.
Anyone who sees him knows that this important official of Zhao State who is destined to be named in history has reached the end of his life.
There were several medical officials from Zhao State beside Lin Xiangru's couch. After seeing Zhao Dan, the medical officials saluted respectfully to Zhao Dan.
Zhao Dan looked at the medical officer in charge with a bright look: "Does Lin Qing have any laws to cure?"
The old medical officer shook his head and said, "The king is not able to atone for his sins."
Zhao Dan felt sad and walked to Lin Xiangru's couch, slowly knelt down, and held Lin Xiangru's hand hanging by the couch.
Several doctors retreated tactfully, and only Zhu Xian and Yu Xin were with them in the room.
Lin Xiangru was so thin that when Zhao Dan held his hand, he was holding a piece of bone covered with skin.
Zhao Dan sighed softly and whispered: "Lin Qing, why did you abandon me and leave now!"
Although Zhao Dan has only worked with this loyal Shangqing for two or three months from time to time, whether it is from the memories of the previous King Xiaocheng, or the personal experiences after Zhao Dan's time travel, it is enough to prove the importance of this Shangqing to Zhao State.
In every unit, there are some flatterers who flatter the leaders all day long, and there are always some old ox who work diligently. Lin Xiangru is such an old ox who has worked hard for decades to die for Zhao State!
If Lin Xiangru had not been working hard in Zhao's internal affairs for so many years, how could Zhao State have had the second most powerful scene in the world today?
Such a minister left Zhao Dan and Zhao at such an important moment, so how could he not make Zhao Dan feel endless regret?
If possible, Zhao Dan really hopes that Lin Xiangru can live for five or even ten years more!
It’s a pity that even time travelers still cannot oppose death.
It was at this moment that perhaps when he heard Zhao Dan's voice, Lin Xiangru, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly moved slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.
A few seconds later, Lin Xiangru's eyes, which were originally a little confused, began to gradually focus, and then he discovered Zhao Dan's existence: "Big, King..."
Zhao Dan was happy and said quickly: "Lin Qing, you are awake! I will let the medical officer come in!"
It was said that Zhao Dan was about to turn around and shout, but Lin Xiangru suddenly grabbed Zhao Dan's hand: "Big, king, no, no need..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiangru coughed violently. After a long time, the cough stopped and said to Zhao Dan, "My memory... The time limit has come, but I hope the king will think that the old minister has done some effort for Zhao and Zhao State. For the sake of his duties, let me listen to the old minister's words."
Zhao Dan took a deep breath and said to Lin Xiangru very seriously: "Lin Qing can tell me."
Lin Xiangru took a few breaths and said to Zhao Dan: "General Lian Po, although he is reckless and reckless, is loyal and brave. If the king can believe it like the previous king, Lian Po will definitely be able to die for the king. I hope the king will be clear and clear."
Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment and didn't expect that Lin Xiangru was talking about this, but he nodded and said, "Lin Qing, I'm a cicada."
Obviously, at this moment, even if you say a few words, it would be extremely difficult for Lin Xiangru.
Seeing this, Zhao Dan felt unbearable, so he said again: "Lin Qing, I'd better order the palace doctor to come in first."
Lin Xiangru shook his head, and suddenly his face quickly became rosy, and his mouth became much clearer when he spoke: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The old minister's health has long known it. If the king still thinks that the old minister is still available, let the old minister finish speaking."
Zhao Dan had no choice but to let Lin Xiangru continue to talk.
Lin Xiangru said, "Since the three families divided Jin, all countries have emerged together. Thirty years ago, the three hegemons of Qin, Chu and Qi were established together. From the perspective of the ministers, if a country is dominant, it will definitely attack the various countries. If the king wins this battle, our country of Zhao will also become a hegemon. The king should build various countries and slowly plan for them. Do not be impatient and make the foundation of the previous kings destroy it in one go."
Lin Xiangru said this very earnestly and sincerely, not like a minister's advice to the king, but instead had some advice from elders to younger generations.
Zhao Dan sighed in his heart after seeing it. At this time, Lin Xiangru was most concerned about Zhao State.
Zhao Dan calmed down and said seriously: "Lin Qing, don't worry, I must follow what Lin Qing said."
Lin Xiangru looked at Zhao Dan carefully, feeling that Zhao Dan didn't seem to be perfunctory, so he showed a smile on his face. When he looked up, he happened to see Miao Xian standing behind Zhao Dan, so he said again: "Mr. Miao, you have to walk before Mr. Miao in this way."
Miao Xian looked at Lin Xiangru in front of him and felt quite moved. The situation when Miao Xian recommended Lin Xiangru to King Huiwen of Zhao was just like yesterday. I didn’t expect that this old friend would die now.
Miao Xian's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a very forced smile: "Lin Qing, go, Xian will come back."
Lin Xiangru's eyes moved slowly and finally fell on Yu Xin: "Yu Qing, the general has a strong personality. If there is any point in the future, please let Yu Qing deal with it."
Yu Xin's face was solemn and nodded slowly: "Don't worry, Lin Qing, Xin will not let Lin Qing down."
After saying these words, Lin Xiangru's face began to turn gray. The rosy rays that appeared on his cheeks just now began to disappear quickly. He wanted to speak up and continue to say something, but Zhao Dan stopped him.
Zhao Dan gently patted Lin Xiangru on the shoulder: "Lin Qing, this is enough."
Zhao Dan stood up and said to Miao Xian behind him: "Let Lin Qingzhi's family come in."
After saying this, Zhao Dan took Miao Xian and Yu Xin out of the room.
Lin Xiangru's family, who had been waiting outside, came in one after another, and many ministers of Zhao State rushed over after hearing the news, including Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and Shangdafu Lou Chang, etc.
After seeing Zhao Dan, the ministers saluted and greeted each other, and then stood with Zhao Dan in the courtyard outside the room, quietly waiting for the arrival of that time.
After about half a cup of tea, a heart-wrenching cry came from the room, which made Zhao Dan, who was standing outside the room, feel a little sorry for him when he heard this.
Lin Xiangru, this famous minister of Zhao who was destined to be famous in history, finally went there.
