Liu Cong patted Huo Ge on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "What did your father say when he left? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Huo Ge could no longer hold back his emotions. He cried loudly and said to Liu Cong, "My father coughed violently and left without saying anything. Normally, no one would have expected that my father would suddenly... wuwuwu..."
"Cry, cry, Shaoxian, you cry first, and then I will talk to you slowly." Liu Cong gently stroked Huo Ge's back and spoke softly, comforting others, but he was also there
shed tears.
After a long time, Huo Ge came back to his senses, sobbed and cupped his hands to Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty, the common people are grieving too much and cannot help themselves. Please forgive me for the sin of disrespecting the common people."
"It's okay, it's okay. Get up quickly and have been kneeling for a long time. Gu Gang also cried once. Speaking of which, Gu and your father, no, your father, is one of the first ones to follow Gu.
ah."
"Okay, let's leave as soon as we say it. Gudu... Well, it's too late to say this now. Gu and Zhongmiao can be regarded as the most irreverent kings and ministers."
Liu Cong pulled Huo Ge to sit down and said, "Follow Gu from now on. The crown prince of Gu still lacks a guard commander to protect him, so you can be the crown prince's sacrificer."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Preparing an edict."
After Liu Cong finished speaking, Duan Kun called a few guards in robes to come forward, took out something from his arms and prepared to write.

Liu Cong thought for a while and then said, "Zhijiang (name of place) Huo Jun, courtesy name Zhongmiao. There was a brother named Zhongmiao. Jun followed the order of the late king to capture his people. Later, he led the people to stay alone and used them as school captains.
When Jiangdong invaded, Zhong Miao did his duty to defend against the enemy. He later stationed in Xunyang and took control of Lujiang. Before he could use the Sun family, the Wei Kingdom crossed the thunder pool even half a step!
Zhongmiao was outstanding in talent and virtue, and he was rigorous in running the army. He only served as Zhongmiao for nine years. His beloved wife passed away like light, and I felt sorry for him. A good scholar has made great contributions to the country, so he should be richly rewarded.
I will posthumously postulate Huo Jun as Marquis of Yi, reward his widow generously, and make his son Huo Ge the crown prince's benefactor! As the prefect of Lujiang, I will quickly send someone to take Huo Jun's coffin to Xiangyang!"
Huo Ge immediately knelt down and knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so kind. The Huo family will repay Your Majesty with death!"
Liu Cong stepped forward and pulled Huo Ge up and said, "The prince is not in Xiangyang at the moment. If something happens to your family, you can't work with peace of mind. Let's go back to Lujiang first and transport your father's body back."
"When the time comes, I will personally go out of the city to pick you up and send your father on his last journey."
"On behalf of my father, I would like to express my gratitude to the king for his kindness."
After thanking you, Huo Ge cupped his hands and said, "To your Majesty, I have one more thing that I want to tell you."
"When I was in Shouchun, I saw that Lu Su, the governor of Yangzhou, was also ill. He didn't let anyone know about it, and I didn't dare to ask more questions. Do you think we should pay more attention to him?"
pp!
Liu Cong smiled bitterly and said, "If you are interested, I will arrange it. You can go back first."
"promise."
"Xing Daorong, send Shaoxian off for the orphan."
"promise!"
Watching Huo Ge go away, Liu Cong thought of Huo Jun again. Both father and son were the pillars of the country, and their abilities and conduct were beyond words.
Thinking about it, Liu Cong couldn't help but look up at the sky, "Zhong Miao, you can go in peace. Your loyalty to Gu and your care for the country will be carried on by your son."
Huo Jun is dead, but he is alive in another form. His son Huo Ge will inherit his legacy, continue to serve Liu Cong's royal family, and continue to dedicate himself to this country.
Looking at Huo Ge, who was already a fifth-grade prince at a young age, Xing Daorong, who gave him away, felt jealous for no reason, and said in the tone of a senior, "Xian Shao, you saw it in the distance just now
Yes, the king is crying so heartbreakingly, your father is very important in the king's heart."
Huo Ge quickly raised his hands and said, "Thanks to the general's kind words, no matter how important my father is to the king, it has already passed. However, as a general, he can be the commander of the king's guards. It can be seen that the general is important to the king.
.”
Xing Daorong chuckled, and then sighed, "Oh, I don't know if the king will cry for us like this on the day our old Xing dies."

Xing Daorong sent people away, but Liu Cong was still making arrangements in the pavilion. He ordered Duan Kun to send people back to Xiangyang and find some good doctors to go to Jiangdong. He couldn't bear such a loss.
He also wrote an edict on the stone table in the pavilion, asking Lu Su, the governor of Yangzhou, to come to Xiangyang. Among other things, he wanted to see what was wrong with Lu Su first.
Although he is familiar with the three countries, except for a few important figures, he can't remember the year in which those famous people died. This can only be taken as a precaution.
What Liu Cong didn't know was that the 21st year of Jian'an was the year when talents began to wither in the late Han Dynasty.
In this year in history, Lu Su died of illness in that year. Ling Tong died of illness in that year. (1 says 247)
Sima Lang, one of the "Sima Eight Da", died of illness that year.
Chen Lin, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", died of illness that year.
Wang Can, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", died of illness that year.
Ying Tuan, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", died of illness that year.
Liu Zhen, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", died of illness that year.
Xu Qian, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", died of illness that year.
Huo Jun also died in this year, which was the beginning of a large number of talents withering away.
Of course, in this world, everyone can survive without anyone, and the earth will continue to turn around without anyone. But such a loss of talent is not only Liu Cong’s sorrow, but also a decline in the country’s national strength.
Huo Jun's death was not only a regret for the Huo Ge family and Liu Cong. The Chu State directly lost a general due to Huo Jun's death, and Liu Cong had to arrange for someone to go to Lujiang to take over Huo Jun's position.
We also need to find ways to smooth out the possible turmoil in the Lujiang army due to Huo Jun's death.
Even though Liu Cong has mythologized himself in the army, even though Liu Cong is already a god in the Chu Kingdom, it is undeniable that the general who leads troops all year round in the border areas does have an extraordinary influence in the minds of the soldiers.
Not only in this era, but also in later generations.
At this time, Liu Cong no longer wanted to see the landscape, and returned to Xiangyang with the escort team 5.
After entering the palace, he ordered the court to be suspended for three days and ordered Huo Ge to observe mourning for Huo Jun for half a year.

In the confusion of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Cong summoned everyone together and ordered Zhang Zhongjing to bring people to see the doctor.
The fate of some people has changed, such as Zhou Yu. He should have died long ago, but he is still alive and well.
There are still some people who, just like in history, just disappeared. For example, Huo Jun, in the year after his death, there still was no accident.
Liu Cong can't keep people who should leave, and he doesn't have the ability to snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell. To be honest, with the current talent reserve of Chu State, except for Liu Cong, the King of Chu, no one will die.
What impact will it have on the country?
But Liu Cong wouldn't despise having too many talents, would he? Let Zhang Zhongjing show it to these civil and military officials and nip it in the bud. He couldn't predict the future, so the only thing he could do was this.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"
Everyone thanked Liu Cong for his kindness, but no one knew that Liu Cong did this just because he was afraid of Huo Jun's sudden death. He was afraid that any of his ministers would suddenly leave him.
