Liu Zhang exclaimed, the sound so loud that Zhang Rang next to him was startled and he quickly grabbed him.
"General Hou, please keep your voice down, no one else knows yet!"
If you are sick now, will you die years ago?
Liu Zhang was fortunate that he came back early. Once Liu Hong couldn't bear it and died early, Luoyang would be completely occupied by General He Jin!
"How is His Majesty's condition?"
Zhang Rang thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth to Liu Zhang.
"The imperial doctors have looked at it. It's difficult to cure, but it won't be life-threatening for a while."
Hearing Zhang Rang's words, Liu Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to start a dispute when he arrived in Luoyang before his buttocks were warm.
"That's good, Mr. Zhang, take me to see His Majesty quickly!"
"Okay, please, general!"
Zhang Rang led Liu Zhang to Liu Hong's palace. Under Zhang Rang's leadership, he did not encounter any interrogation and went directly to the door of the palace.
"General, I won't go in."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang, please help yourself!"
Liu Zhang thanked him and sent Zhang Rang away. After making the announcement, he entered the palace.
Although Liu Zhang was mentally prepared, he was still deeply shocked after seeing Liu Hong for the first time.
Liu Hong was even fatter. Liu Zhang estimated that he weighed at least 200 kilograms. The fat on his face had formed deep wrinkles. The thick blue eye circles and bags under his eyes were the most obvious. Even though there was so much fat, the eye sockets were already sunken.
When I walked in, I saw that it was caused by excessive drinking and sex!
Just sitting on the collapse, Liu Hong was breathing heavily with great difficulty, and his whole body was already exuding the aura of death!
"Your Majesty Liu Zhang, long live my emperor!"
Liu Zhang did not dare to be rude in any way. He knew that Liu Hong was now at the end of his life and would be more suspicious and even suspicious of his subordinates. Liu Zhang must double his trust to gain Liu Hong's trust!
"Liu Aiqing is back, get up quickly."
Listening to this weak voice, Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He couldn't help but think of Liu Hong, who appointed him as the prefect of Hanzhong three years ago.
At that time, Liu Hong was also obese, but he had a unique temperament and his voice was always full of majesty! What about now? He is extremely weak!
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I still want to work with your Majesty to defeat the traitors and recreate the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty!"
For some reason, Liu Zhang's eye circles suddenly turned red. Does he have no feelings for Liu Hong at all? Definitely not!
Liu Zhang's growth was inseparable from Liu Hong at every step. Although there was no pure emotion, only endless calculations and purposes, it cannot be denied that without Liu Hong, how could Liu Zhang be where he is today? Without Liu Hong's support
With trust, how could Liu Zhang obtain the position of Princess Liu Yun of Ten Thousand Years and the position of Grand Administrator of Hanzhong?
Maybe this is a special feeling, mixed with many meanings! Just like Xun You couldn't bear to watch the fall of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhang also had great sympathy for Liu Hong's tragedy at this moment.
"The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty mean that you really take me to heart!"
Liu Hong was also a little moved, but his face was more sad.
"My dear, do you know why I came back to you?"
"I don't know, but I know that as long as I am called by His Majesty, no matter where I am, I will rush back as soon as possible!"
Seeing Liu Zhang's sincere attitude, Liu Hong was even more moved. There were so many ministers under his command, but none of them was like Liu Zhang!
"I am so lucky to have a son-in-law like Aiqing! I wonder how many troops Aiqing brought back to Luoyang this time?"
Liu Zhang was alarmed. Liu Hong not only mentioned bringing troops and horses in the edict, but now he asked again after seeing him! It seems that Liu Hong's purpose is not simple!
"Reporting to your Majesty, because Hanzhong needs garrison troops everywhere, I only brought 10,000 cavalry this time."
"Ten thousand people."
Liu Hong was slightly disappointed, obviously not satisfied with this number.
"I heard that Aiqing raised nearly 30,000 people in Hanzhong?"
As expected, nothing could be hidden from Liu Hong. Liu Zhang did not dare to hide anything and just nodded and admitted.
"Yes, the situation in Liangzhou is critical. I am afraid that I will disappoint His Majesty's high expectations because I have tried every means."
"In that case, why not bring more soldiers and horses?"
Liu Zhang became more and more confused. There was no war in Luoyang, so why did he bring so many troops?
"Your Majesty, Liangzhou is occupied by Han Sui and Ma Teng, threatening Hanzhong at all times. I have no choice but to leave troops to garrison. Moreover, when I left Hanzhong, another incident happened in Yizhou. I heard that Prime Minister Ma was in trouble in Mianzhu.
They call themselves the 'Yellow Turbans' and are now invading Yizhou. I have no choice but to leave most of my troops in Hanzhong."
Liu Hong obviously didn't know this information, and when he heard that someone was rebelling again, he became obviously angry.
"These unruly people, I treat them well, why do they often turn against me! Why!"
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Liu Hong was so angry that he coughed repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, calm down and please allow me to return to Hanzhong. I will immediately raise troops from Hanzhong and I will definitely capture the rebels and offer them to Your Majesty!"
Liu Zhang felt ashamed for a while. He didn't know whether Ma Xiang had rebelled or not, he just made an estimate. Historically, Ma Xiang captured Mianzhu during this time period.
However, Liu Zhang was not worried that Liu Hong would really send him. Liu Hong asked Liu Zhang to lead troops to Beijing when he was so far away. How could he let him leave so easily?
Sure enough, Liu Hong waved his hand to him and did not agree to Liu Zhang's proposal.
"Forget it, you are just a little thief, how can I let you run around everywhere? Why do I raise these governors?"
Liu Zhang did not speak and stood quietly beside Liu Hong. At this moment, Liu Zhang discovered that Liu Hong's right hand was bleeding continuously.
"Your Majesty, your hand!"
Liu Hong looked down, but raised his right hand disapprovingly.
"Well, it's okay. It's been more than a month and it still hasn't healed."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Liu Zhang immediately opened his eyes wide.
It hasn’t healed in more than a month? Isn’t this diabetes? But why are people with diabetes still so fat?
However, the phenomenon of Liu Hong's right hand not healing is definitely a sign of diabetes.
Liu Zhang finally understood why Liu Hong had such a short life. He was addicted to alcohol and sex for a long time, suffered from severe obesity, and had the most deadly diabetes!
"Your Majesty, rest in peace and recover from your injuries, and you will definitely recover soon!"
Liu Zhang had no choice but to say nice words to persuade Liu Hong. After all, there was nothing Liu Zhang could do about this disease. Even in his previous life, he still could not completely cure it.
"Okay, please give me your kind words!"
Although Liu Hong is suffering from illness, his mentality is still good. Perhaps it is this optimistic mentality that prevents him from falling down now.
"My dear, do you remember what I first told you about the two princes?"
Here it comes! Liu Zhang immediately became energetic, knowing that Liu Hong was about to get down to business!
"Your Majesty, I remember."
"I asked you to come back this time because of the appointment of the crown prince!"
