Daqin: My weak and virtuous minister

Chapter 136 The Death of King Yan

The doctor finally managed to wake the king up when a guard came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Ju Xin has been killed in battle. The Qin army is unstoppable and will soon reach Jicheng."

"puff"

King Xi of Yan, who had just woken up, spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

"Your Majesty!"

"Doctor!"

There was chaos in Prince Yan's palace.

Prime Minister's Mansion

"Prime Minister"

"What's the matter."

Li Fu sat leaning against the bed, his face pale and with a lot more white hair on his temples.

"Prime Minister, General Ju Xin has died in battle. The Qin army will soon be approaching Jicheng. Upon hearing the news, the king vomited blood and fell into a coma."

"what!"

Li Fu, who was originally weak, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his old face was full of shock.

"Ju Xin, died in battle?"

"Your Majesty,"

"How is the king?"

Seeing that Li Fu was about to get up in a hurry, the servant hurried forward to support him.

"Prime Minister, the king is in a coma and has not yet woken up."

Li Fu paused as he was putting on his shoes, and he almost fell down again.

"Quick, enter the palace."

When Li Fu was supported and hurried into the palace, many court officials were already standing outside the Prince of Yan's bedroom.

Several doctors were treating the king inside, and it was quiet everywhere.

"Prime Minister."

When the court officials saw Li Fu coming, they all greeted him.

"How is the king?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Now we don’t know whether the king is alive or dead.

"Send the order, have Wu Tun lead the troops to surround Jicheng."

"promise."

"Prime Minister,"

The court officials murmured a few words, and someone took the lead and said, "Why not ask the king to move the capital?"

Li Fu looked at the Imperial Censor and shouted angrily, "Shut up."

"You and others think the same?"

Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.

Li Fu looked at the court officials one by one and was so angry that he almost fell down.

"You, you guys, cough cough cough"

"My Yan State has not yet been destroyed, yet you are actually thinking of asking the King to abandon the city and flee."

"The master humiliates the minister and the minister dies."

"You are unworthy of serving in my court by humiliating my king like this."

After saying that, Li Fu flicked his sleeves and stood aside without saying anything else.

After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened.

"Doctor, how is the king?"

When Li Fu saw the doctor come out, he was the first to step forward and ask.

The doctor shook his head and said, "My medical skills are limited. I can't do anything."

"Prime Minister, get ready."

Hearing this, Li Fu took a step back, and the eunuch nervously supported him.

"Doctor?"

The doctors looked at each one and shook their heads.

Li Fu's already poor health almost couldn't bear it.

He suppressed the tightness in his chest and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

"Is the king awake?"

"The king will wake up in half an hour."

"I'll go down and make medicine for the king."

After that, several doctors took their leave.

Li Fu looked at the king's bedroom in a daze.

Seeing the Prime Minister like this, the court officials did not dare to speak for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Fu finally regained consciousness.

"We will go to the side hall and wait for the king to wake up."

"promise."

I sat there for half an hour.

However, none of the court officials dared to leave.

All the young masters were also called over and stood guard outside the hall.

"Prime Minister, the king has woken up and wants you to come over."

The eunuch came hurriedly to report, breaking the silence in the room.

Li Fu was helped to stand up.

At this time, King Xi of Yan was lying on the bed, with a graceful demeanor.

"The King"

"Prime Minister."

King Xi of Yan raised his hand tremblingly, but then put it down helplessly.

"I know I won't live long. I entrust the State of Yan to the Prime Minister."

"Sir, bullshit!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fu turned around and called the young master to come forward.

"Father."

Hearing the voice of Prince Che, King Yan happily said, "After I die, Prince Che will succeed me."

"Prime Minister, I am incompetent and cannot protect the State of Yan."

"The fall of the Yan State is due to me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, King Xi of Yan had already died.

"Your Majesty!"

After the death of King Yan, a dark cloud hung over the city of Ji.

With the support of Prime Minister Li Fu, Prince Che held a funeral for King Xi of Yan.

However, before the King of Yan could be buried, the Qin army had already surrounded Ji City.

Prime Minister Li Fu and General Wu Dun fought the Qin army to the death at the city gate.

However, they only held out for five more days before Jicheng was captured.

When the city was broken, Prime Minister Li Fu drew his sword and committed suicide at the city gate. The prime minister of a country died with the destruction of the country.

General Wu Dun swore to die rather than surrender, but was beheaded at the city gate by Meng Wu.

According to the history of Qin, in the spring of the 15th year of King Zheng of Qin, Qin attacked Yan and destroyed it within a full month.

When the news reached Xianyang, the anger in Ying Zheng and Fusu finally subsided.

The whole Qin State was filled with jubilation.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Yuanqing had been taking medicine for a month and his tongue could hardly taste anything.

Seeing Qingque coming over with medicine again, he covered his mouth and turned around to give Qingque a slap on the back of the head.

Come again.

Qingque sighed helplessly.

"My Lord, after today, you will only need to take two doses of medicine a day. Can you hold on for another day?"

Are two meals a day enough?

Am I missing these two soups and medicines?

I don't want to drink at all.

Zhang Yuanqing snorted and said nothing.

Qingque walked up to Zhang Yuanqing holding a bowl of medicine.

"My Lord, please drink the medicine."

"Otherwise, if the eldest master knew that I didn't persuade you to take the medicine on time, he would punish me."

"My Lord, please take the medicine considering that I have served you wholeheartedly."

"I have prepared two bowls. I will drink with you."

After saying that, Qingque drank the bowl of medicine in his hand.

It was too late for Zhang Yuanqing to stop it.

"I'll drink it. This medicine isn't food. Why are you eating it carelessly?"

Qingque didn't care at all. When he heard Zhang Yuanqing say this, he quickly stood up and handed another bowl of medicine to Zhang Yuanqing.

"Master Hou."

Zhang Yuanqing: Actually, I was just talking about it. I didn’t really want to take the medicine.

Seeing that Zhang Yuanqing didn't take it, Qingque held the medicine bowl and said, "How about I have someone make another bowl, and then I can drink one with you?"

"Oh, okay, I'll drink."

Zhang Yuanqing's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly, and his originally handsome face seemed a little distorted.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel like retching.

Qingque quickly handed the honey fruit to Zhang Yuanqing, and Zhang Yuanqing picked up one and put it in his mouth.

After taking four or five of them in a row, I finally got over the medicinal smell.

"teacher."

Fusu walked in and paused when he saw what was on Zhang Yuanqing's desk.

"The eldest son."

Qingque stood up and saluted Fusu, then went out with the medicine bowl.

"sit."

When Zhang Yuanqing saw Fusu coming, he raised his eyes and looked listless.

It was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the effects of the bowl of medicine he had just taken.

"Teacher, Fusu just got some good news and rushed here to tell you."

"Go ahead."

Anyone can hear the perfunctory tone.

However, Fusu smiled good-naturedly and didn't care at all.

"Teacher, the Qin army conquered the Yan State's Ji City, and the Yan State was destroyed."

"Oh"

"what!"

It was a casual sound at first, and then Zhang Yuanqing raised his head, puzzled.

The State of Yan was destroyed immediately?

How long has it been?

Is there a month?

How come it was destroyed?

Shouldn't the King of Yan use Prince Dan's head to seek peace with Qin?

"Where is King Yan?"

"Teacher, King Xi of Yan died of illness, and the State of Yan was destroyed."

"What about Prince Dan?"

Hearing the name, Fusu clenched his hands on the chair.

"Teacher, Ji Dan is missing. Father has sent people to search for him in Qin, but he hasn't found her yet."

"But don't worry, teacher. Father said that he will continue to search for Ji Dan's whereabouts. If he is found, he will be executed immediately."

No, that's not what I meant, I'm just asking out of curiosity.
