Chapter 939 A clear conscience
After a while, He Shuping also arrived. He saw Sima Zhong lying on the bed, and his expression was a little nervous. Others might not know the cause and effect of the matter, but he knew very well that it must be related to the letter. Otherwise, Sima Zhong would not have become like this in one night.
After reading the letter, Li Xun looked at He Shuping.
He Shuping hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "The emperor just asked me to hand over this letter to Sima Zhong. As for the content of the letter, I don't know."
Li Xun stared at He Shuping for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's not your business."
Li Xun believed that He Shuping did not deceive himself, and he did not have the need to do so.
Huang Hui said to everyone at this time: "Master Wang will come soon, maybe there will be a chance."
That's it, but everyone saw no hope on Huang Hui's face. Obviously, his words were both to comfort everyone and to comfort themselves.
No one spoke, stood there quietly.
A moment later, Master Wang came, an old man over 70 years old. He is the most famous doctor in Lingnan. He worked as an imperial physician in the palace in his early years.
Master Wang nodded to everyone, saying hello, then walked to the bed, looked at Sima Zhong for a while, then turned around and said to everyone, "The old general Sima has exhausted his energy and blood, and he is powerless to recover, so he can't stand tonight."
Li Xun asked, "Can Sima Zhong wake up?"
Master Wang shook his head, but also said, "I can use the golden needle to prick it and force it to wake it up, but it is only one quarter of an hour, and a quarter of an hour later..."
Only a quarter of an hour?
Everyone was silent. After a moment, Zhao Baian said to Huang Hui: "Huang Hui, you and Sima Zhong are close friends. Now there is no close relative by your side, so you can make a decision on your behalf."
Huang Hui remained silent. After a long time, he sighed to Master Wang and said, "Sima Zhong has always been upright and fearless in his life. He is clear in his life and does things. Don't let him die in a mess."
Master Wang nodded, took out the golden needle and started to take action.
As Master Wang stabbed the needle and acupoint on Sima Zhong's body, Sima Zhong's breath began to become more relaxed, and his chest also had obvious ups and downs, and his pale face slowly returned to rosy.
After doing all this, Master Wang stepped back and said to everyone: "It's only a quarter of an hour. If you have anything to say, you can do it as soon as possible."
Master Wang gave an order, and then left with the toolbox. There was nothing he had to do here.
Sima Zhong woke up quickly. He opened his eyes, glanced at Li Xun and others in front of the bed, and said indifferently: "You are all here."
Huang Hui said softly: "You only have a quarter of an hour. If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible."
Sima Zhong smiled and said with a slutty smile: "What else can I say? I have lived in vain in my life. Maybe I shouldn't have come to this world."
After Sima Zhong said that, his eyes closed again: "You all go and let me be quiet for a while."
Huang Hui opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Zhao Baian didn't speak. He was not familiar with Sima Zhong, and he was not good at saying things to comfort people.
Li Xun laughed at this time.
Huang Hui glared at Li Xun: "Why are you laughing at?"
Li Xun said: "If a person doesn't understand life, he shouldn't have come to this world and should have died long ago."
Huang Hui was about to have an attack, but Sima Zhong had already opened his eyes and said to Li Xun: "I asked myself that I have no grudges and grudges with you, why do you even want to bully me? Can't I let me die quietly?"
"cannot."
Li Xun said seriously: "If you die like this, you will die with your eyes open and be confused. You and me are indeed not wronged or resentful, but in Longyou, with your teachings, I will avoid making many mistakes. Therefore, if you have kindness to me, I cannot let you die like this."
After hearing what Li Xun said, Huang Hui's face calmed down.
Sima Zhong looked at Li Xun quietly without saying a word.
Li Xun grabbed Sima Zhong's hand and said softly: "Old General, you said you have lived in vain in your life. Then I ask you, if it weren't for you, what would happen in the world if Jinyang was broken? If the war expanded again, how many people would suffer? When you became the governor of Yunzhou, the flood broke out. If you hadn't led the army and led the army to block the flood, how many people would have been displaced? You have done so many things and saved so many lives, how could you say you have lived in vain in your life?"
After hearing Li Xun's words, Sima Zhong's eyes gradually became more and more gloomy and no longer dull.
Li Xun finally said: "No matter what happens between you and the emperor, it is just a personal grudge. As for the country and the people, you have a clear conscience, which is enough."
Sima Zhong smiled on his face: "Yes, I have a clear conscience towards the country and the people in my life, and that's enough."
Then, Sima Zhong said to Zhao Baian: "Master Zhao, the grudges of people will disappear when they die. No matter what, please treat the soldiers of the imperial guards well. They have never had any other intentions towards you and the country."
Zhao Baian nodded and said in a deep voice: "I was wrong about the previous episode, and I will pay attention to it in the future."
Zhao Baian actually apologized, it was indeed rare.
Sima Zhong said to Huang Hui again: "You know the situation at my family. After I die, if you can, please help me."
Huang Hui focused his attention and said, "Don't worry, Cheng'er is a smart child, I will guide him on the right path."
Sima Zhong has three sons, but they all have short lives and died early. Now there are only two grandsons. The eldest grandson joined the army four years ago and eventually died on the battlefield. The second grandson was twenty years old. He was smart and studious, and very talented. He was ready to take the imperial examination and enter the official career. Unfortunately, he was weak and sick. In addition, Sima Zhong was honest and had poor family, so he could not bring much help to his descendants.
Finally, Sima Zhong held Li Xun's hand tightly and smiled: "You are still young, and the road ahead is still long. I won't say much. I just hope you will always have kindness in your heart."
Li Xun nodded: "People don't let me down, I don't let others down."
Li Xun's words undoubtedly relieved Sima Zhong's heart. In fact, he was also angry and attacked. If he could give him time, he would slowly figure it out. However, sometimes, the blow came too suddenly and without any preparation, Sima Zhong collapsed. If it weren't for Li Xun, he would probably die with deep regret.
