When Sun Quan praised the Lunar Dispute, Liu Bei stopped, patted Fazheng on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Xiaozhi, you are doing a good job!"

Fa Zheng had never expected Liu Bei to stop at this time, and he did not expect that the lord would say this to him on this highly anticipated occasion.

Fazheng has been under considerable pressure in the past month.

The old ministers in Yizhou all said that Fa Zheng betrayed the old master and replaced the new master, and relied on the new master's prestige to act unreasonable against his old colleagues and took personal revenge. Because his actions were really outrageous, even Duke Xuande could not bear it, so he deprived him of his position as the prefect of Shu County, and then threw one of his good friend Meng Da to Shangyong and another friend Li Yan to Jingzhou.

Fa Zheng was frightened because of this, so he wanted to do something to win the favor of Xuande Duke again. So he snatched the letter of the ministers who elected the King of Hanzhong before Xuande Duke's close ministers and loyal ministers, thinking that this would make him become the confidant of Xuande Duke. However, this action greatly offended many people in the Yuan Cong faction, making Fa Zheng's status particularly awkward.

But all this is nothing in front of the words of Xuandegong.

The lord praised me for doing a good job! The lord deliberately stopped to praise me on this occasion! Fa Zheng looked up in surprise and saw Liu Bei's gentle and honest gaze. Somehow, tears flowed like a river with a gate open, and he couldn't stop it. He was worried that he could not control his emotions, and was even more afraid that he would lose his manners on this major occasion, so he knocked his forehead to the ground and choked up and said, "My defence is the whip for the lord to die!"

Liu Bei originally wanted to help Fa Zheng up, but today he was wearing a high crown and a sword, and was wearing extremely complicated clothes, so he was very inconvenient to his actions. So he could only take a deep look at Fa Zheng, smiled at him, and then continue to move forward.

From the place where you dismount to the high and mountain-rise mandala in the middle of the field, you have to walk a long way. Tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of civil and military officials were arranged on both sides of the road in sequence, standing straight, like a large tall forest standing on the field overnight. Countless flags were flying in the air, like surging waves.

Liu Bei moved forward slowly and had already walked a long way, and there were still dozens of feet before he was about to ascend to the high altar.

According to the etiquette system, he just needs to move forward at this time. He has rehearsed several times before, and every move should follow the guidance of the etiquette officer. But he did not plan to do this. After Fazheng, there were several people. He felt that he should talk to these people on such occasions.

The king is called a lonely person, but the king of Hanzhong is by no means a lonely person.

Of course, Liu Bei did not change his view of Fazheng. To this day, he still feels that Fazheng is too impatient, and even Pang Tong is the same.

In fact, there is no problem in taking office as King of Hanzhong in the early next year, or even in the second half of next year. But it cannot withstand the repeated urging of Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, so the battle in Hanzhong had just ended, and the Grand Sima Mansion began preparing the ceremony in Nanzheng.

Liu Bei vaguely felt that this impatient look would damage his image of being humble and loyal to the court. When competing for the hearts of the Central Plains in the future, this might become a handle.

This doubt is not pedantic, but due to some selfish expectation.

From the third year of Jian'an to the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei followed Cao Cao to Xudu, where he paid homage to the emperor, and obtained the position of General Zuo and Marquis of Yicheng. He also conspired with General Dong Cheng, the General of Chef and Cavalry, and has been known to have been punished by the imperial edicts.

In fact, Liu Bei himself knew that he did not have any edicts. The emperor was weak and incompetent, and he had no courage to write blood books at all. The ministers and ministers around the emperor were all self-righteous wastes. They thought that the world could operate according to the rules they were familiar with, but they did not know that the world had changed!

Therefore, everyone in the world thinks that Liu Bei was determined to fight against the thieves and promote the Han Dynasty in Xudu, but it was not. When Liu Bei was in Xudu, he decided to give up the old Han Dynasty and create a new Han Dynasty. However, he hid this idea deeply in his heart until he met Zhuge Liang seven years later and heard Zhuge Liang say to him: Hegemony can be achieved, and the Han Dynasty can be achieved.

Liu Bei wanted to create a new era, a new Han Dynasty that was not bound by the old. He hoped that this new Han Dynasty would be better than that built by Guangwu. He hoped that this new Han Dynasty would be as gorgeous as the rising sun and could receive the admiration of the people without flaws.

So, it is really a bit urgent to be king now.

After all, the emperor is still in Xudu. Even the emperor supported by Dong Pie is also an emperor, not a fake person like Gengshi or Liu Penzi!

But Liu Bei couldn't say anything.

After all, it is not only Fa Zheng and Pang Tong who are impatient. Countless civil and military officials are actually waiting for this day.

After all, today is different from the past. I was struggling hard in the world and struggled hard during the journey of wandering. Countless troops came down and left, gathered and dispersed. Those who left behind were people who did not care about gains and losses, their future, their life and death, and were unconditionally loyal to me Liu Xuande. But now it is different. With Jingzhou, Yizhou, and more Jiaozhou. With such a vast territory and so many subordinates, I hope they will be united. Is it possible?

Some people can do it, but most people really can't. They support me because I can give them what they need, and the sooner the better.

Liu Bei comforted himself and said, "Maybe he was worried about it, and he could not care about it." Because the one who determines the fate of the dynasty has long been not the one who sways his lips, but the people of the world."

The great righteousness of the previous Han Dynasty came from saving the people from the hands of the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, and the great righteousness of the Later Han Dynasty came from resolving the people from the troubled times after Xinmang. I, Liu Bei, wanted to extend my righteousness to the world, and this great righteousness had nothing to do with the rotten trees in Xudu court, and had nothing to do with the jackals who exploited the people, so I don’t have to care what they said.

So, well, just hurry up.

It is also a good thing to set a title earlier for unifying the three states. The road ahead is still long, and there are still many things that civil and military officials need to do.

Liu Bei thought so and slowly moved forward.

He stopped in front of Zhang Fei and pounded Zhang Fei's chest hard, making a loud noise. Zhang Fei stood up straight, laughing as if no one was around, and sprayed a lot of saliva on Liu Bei's face as usual. Fortunately, this guy knew the occasion and didn't pounce on him to hug him.

He stopped in front of Pang Tong and asked with a smile: "Shi Yuan, are you quite happy today?" Pang Tong did not answer, but just knelt down deeply to salute. Shi Yuan had no scruples in his daily life and liked to say humorous and funny words, but today he was very stern and did not care about it at all.

Finally, it was Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming..." Liu Bei thought for a long time what he should say to Zhuge Liang. But at this time, he felt that nothing was appropriate to say. All the changes began with meeting Kong Ming, and the things they experienced together turned into countless emotions, which surged into Liu Bei's heart, making Liu Bei choked. He looked at Zhuge Liang and knew that he didn't need to say anything, Zhuge Liang understood everything.

Zhuge Liang performed the ceremony like a ritual and whispered: "Master, please move."

"Yes! Yes!"

Liu Bei straightened his chest and continued to move forward.

He saw Zhao Yun and Bai Li soldiers surrounding the platform. Unfortunately, it was a bit far away, so he couldn't say a word to Zilong.

Unfortunately, many subordinates are still far away and cannot come to attend the ceremony.

For example, Yunchang in Jiangling, there are probably the continuation of the clan who are busy relocating.

There will be a chance. Liu Bei told himself that when the world is pacified, there will be a more grand ceremony that will allow them all to come!

Liu Bei climbed up to the platform and saw Liu Zhang coming up.

Liu Zhang looked good, and obviously the current situation and treatment were very satisfying.

He and everyone listened to Liu Zhang finishing the memorial with all his might, then put on his royal robes and crowns, and took over the Hanzhong King's Seal and Ribbon.

At this time, the civil and military officials under the high platform bowed down together. They were saying, "Go to the King of Hanzhong."
