Chapter 720 Underground Monarch, in charge of life and death!
When they heard what Wei Yan mentioned, "The soldiers have followed the lord in battle for many years and have no fixed residence. They also hope that the lord will inherit the imperial dignity!"
At this moment, Liu Bei was furious!
"Well, you guys...that's so easy to say! You'll know what it means when you hear it!"
"I want Gu to be the emperor... I just want you to be enfeoffed! If this is the case, Gu will not be able to be the emperor!"
Liu Bei felt dizzy in his head and stroked his forehead.
"I would rather die than obey when it comes to proclaiming myself emperor!"
As soon as I finished the sentence, a huge feeling of dizziness came one after another...
With the sound of "dong" and "dong", Liu Bei fell over.
…
…
In Liu Bei's bedroom, the curtains were low and the light was dim. Liu Bei's head was wrapped in a hospital bandage and his expression was painful.
Ever since he returned from the sacrifice that day...he has looked like this.
The doctors were helpless, and Wu Yi's sister, Mrs. Wu, now the Princess of Shu, sat beside the bed and sobbed softly.
Gan's father, Gan's mother, and Adou stood aside, and the doctor said leisurely: "The disease of the King of Shu is not an external disease, but a heart disease... External diseases are easy to cure, but heart diseases are difficult to cure!"
Just then...
Zhuge Liang walked in slowly, and the attendants in front of the door quickly saluted.
Liu Bei seemed to have noticed Zhuge Liang's arrival, and slowly stood up from the bed.
"Kong Ming, you're here..."
"My Lord..." Zhuge Liang quickly held Liu Bei's hand, "My Lord, with his current condition, you should rest more!"
Speaking of which…
Zhuge Liang asked the doctors around him, "Master, what kind of disease is this? Is it so serious?"
Doctors dare not speak...
Liu Bei patted his chest, "My chest feels like a stone, and I feel depressed and uncomfortable!"
After saying this, Zhuge Liang understood and realized... He supported Liu Bei... so that Liu Bei could lie down more comfortably, and said softly: "Have you ever heard of Hua Xin, my lord?"
"I know!" Liu Bei said: "It was he who presided over the grand ceremony when the emperor abdicated and the founding minister of Wei, and he did everything in detail... He was all busy for Cao Ziyu's usurpation, and he was actually the chief culprit in usurping the Han Dynasty! But... after Cao Yu succeeded to the throne
, to implement the three provinces and six ministries system, the first thing to do is to make him an important minister of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to the previous prime minister. I didn’t expect that... such a person... can be an extremely good minister!"
Liu Bei's voice fell...
Zhuge Liang continued to enlighten: "When Hua Xin and Guan Ning were studying at the same table, there were high-ranking officials crossing the street. Guan Ning continued to study, but Hua Xin put down the book in his hand and went out to watch. When he came back, he saw Guan Ning cutting open the table with a knife and saying, '
If you are not my friend, I will cut off my friendship!'"
"What a severance of justice..." Liu Bei slowly opened his eyes, "Everyone knows this story... Gu Ye admires Guan Ning's severance of justice!"
"But..." Zhuge Liang changed the topic, "Now, the crown that Hua Xin is sitting on is more gorgeous and magnificent than what he saw at first, but Guan Ning is still studying...poor and without any fame!"
At this point, Zhuge Liang sighed with emotion: "My lord, these two people, Hua Xin, Guan Ning... who is better and worse?"
"Hua Xin is a villain, Guan Ning is a gentleman!" Liu Bei said firmly.
"How about the comparison between Chen and Hua Xin?" Zhuge Liang continued to ask.
"A military advisor can defeat him ten times!" Liu Bei said resolutely, "There is a huge difference between heaven and earth. Kong Ming is like a bright sun, but Hua Xin can't even compare with the afterglow!"
"But Hua Xin can preside over the ceremony of proclaiming emperor for the traitor Cao Yu, and he can be a very popular minister... But I want to preside over the ceremony of proclaiming emperor for the orthodox lord of the Han Dynasty, but the lord refuses!" Zhuge Liang's words became more and more serious, "
Lord... Even if Hua Xin is a villain, Cao Yu is not... It is a wise move for him to arrogantly proclaim himself emperor... This is a conspiracy, an attack on the hearts of our Sichuan and Shu soldiers, and an attack on the hearts of the lord's subordinates.
, it makes our Sichuan and Shu soldiers lose their faith and the motivation to move forward!"
Speaking of which…
Zhuge Liang stood up quickly, his eyes filled with tears. He raised his eyes and looked at the ten words hanging in front of Liu Bei's bed: "The Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not at peace"...
Zhuge Liang lamented: "The Han and the traitors are not mutually exclusive... But my lord, now that there are no Hans... how can there be Han thieves? Who does the lord want the soldiers to fight for? If the lord wants to inherit the Han Dynasty, he wants to make the soldiers proud again."
If you have faith, then... you must become emperor!"
At the end... Zhuge Liang squeezed Liu Bei's hand harder.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and whispered: "Kong Ming, I have something to ask you..."
"My lord, it's okay to just ask."
"Did you know before you persuaded me to sign the five-year armistice agreement with the Wei Dynasty that Cao Yu would arrogantly proclaim himself emperor?" Liu Bei's eyes became extremely serious.
this…
Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, "So that's the question, why didn't your lord ask me earlier? I did learn from my third brother that Cao Yu would take the step of overstepping his bounds and proclaiming himself emperor, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, and I thought hard.
, neither the lord, nor Sichuan and Shu, nor the ministers are able to stop it... If the lord knows in advance that Cao Yu has transgressed, the five-year truce may be stillborn, and that... is the big problem for Bashu!"
Hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes gradually opened.
He understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words very well...
"It seems difficult to fight one state against the world, whether now or five years from now!" Liu Bei sighed.
"So..." Zhuge Liang continued to persuade: "It was only after five years of armistice that I dared to persuade my lord to proclaim himself emperor. If the lord does not proclaim himself emperor, then there will be only one emperor in the world - Cao Yu! Because the Han court has already
No more! If my lord shuns the virtuous and righteous and does not advance to the throne, then over time, all the talented people from all over the world who are eager to make achievements will defect to Cao Yu. I am afraid that even the talents from Bashu will not be able to retain them! Who will?
…How could he take refuge with a rebel without any worries in his heart?"
Zhuge Liang's words are serious...but they are true!
And after hearing these words... Liu Bei sat up completely, with cold sweat on his brow.
Zhuge Liang took advantage of the situation and sighed: "My lord, you are not sick at all...your illness is just a knot in your heart! In five years...a lot of things can happen in five years, and a lot of people can be changed. At least, let us Shu Han... let the Han Dynasty continue to exist.
Five years!"
Speak with sincerity!
Sincere words!
finally…
After pondering for half an hour, Liu Bei finally nodded heavily.
"I... trust your military advisor, I will become the emperor!"
…
Three days later.
At the same altar on the outskirts of Chengdu, hundreds of officials from Sichuan and Sichuan are displayed.
Thousands of soldiers stood there solemnly.
Li Yan read out on the high platform: "Emperor Bei Zhao announced to the Empress Dowager that the Han Dynasty has the world and has no borders. The traitor Cao Yu has usurped the Han Dynasty and deposed the emperor. He stole the artifacts. As a descendant of the royal family, Bei is a descendant of the royal family and offers sacrifices to the emperor's ancestors.
, we must obey the destiny of heaven, the imperial industry must not collapse, the world must not be without masters, we must be prepared to respond to God's will, obey the people's wishes, receive the emperor's seal, and visit the world, only the gods are made in the Han family, and guests from all over the world serve..."
The call is over…
Liu Bei knelt down facing the giant cauldron with his hands raised, the crown of the emperor's hat hanging down touching the ground. Liu Bei held up the imperial seal cast by Zhuge Liang for him.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Mountain roars and tsunami…
As the voice from the mountain fell, Liu Bei turned around and faced everyone, "Today I issue the first edict of the Emperor of Han Dynasty. In five years, we will prepare our troops. In five years, we will leave Jiange in the north and Yiling in the east to attack Cao Wei! Give me back the great Han Dynasty.
What a beautiful place!"
——"According to the decree!"
All the ministers shouted in unison.
…
…
There were gift boxes and cages in the hall, and Father Gan was receiving Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun handed an edict to Gan's father. "Your Majesty said that Mrs. Gan is your first wife and gave birth to a son for your Majesty. Although she turned into a butterfly, she still protected the man! Your Majesty named Mrs. Gan as Mrs. Huangsi. , Queen Zhaolie, from today onwards...my uncle is the head of the country!"
Zhao Yun is quite busy today...
In addition to posthumously naming Mrs. Gan as Mrs. Huangsi and Empress Zhaolie, Liu Bei also issued a series of edicts to confer Zhuge Liang as prime minister, Li Yan as Shangshu Ling, Guan Yu as general, Zhang Fei as chariot general, and Zhao Yun as hussar general. , Wei Yan became the general of the Yi army, and was even named one of the "Four Tiger Generals"...
In addition, such as the elders Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Sun Qian and Jian Yong;
Fazheng and Zhang Song of the Dongzhou School;
Ma Liang, Ma Su, Xiang Lang and Liu Feng of the Jingzhou faction were all granted the title.
However, what I didn't expect was that... Father Gan was granted the title of Patriarch because of Mrs. Gan... Perhaps, this was also to stabilize the mood of the elders!
After all... Mrs. Gan has been following Liu Bei since Xuzhou and gave birth to a son for Liu Bei.
Transformed into a butterfly... Interpreted from another angle, it is a beautiful meaning!
"I really can't figure out why Lu Ziyu asked us to help Liu Bei proclaim himself emperor?" Gan's father led Zhao Yun to the study, dismissed the servants, and asked.
"It was the order of Jianjunsi to let Liu Bei ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor..." Zhao Yun looked around, checked again, and made sure that there were no ears on the partition wall, and then said softly: "Jianjunsi is an agency under the School Affairs Office, and the School Affairs Office And it will be directly led by Cao Ziyu, it can’t be wrong!”
"I know I'm not wrong, but it's just strange..." Father Gan still looked incredulous... "Liu Bei has always been ambitious. If there hadn't been a five-year truce, he would not have dared to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. But under the five-year truce... this is... Why?"
This problem has troubled Gan's father for a long time...
He thought for a long time and couldn't find the answer.
Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, "Perhaps, this is two cups of poisonous wine... The five-year truce broke Liu Bei's slogan of 'the Han and the traitors cannot stand together'. Kong Ming and his ministers persuaded Liu Bei to join, which gave Liu Bei a new hope. …It also gave this land of Bashu peace and tranquility!”
Speaking of which…
Zhao Yun stood up slowly, "Uncle, don't think too much, Cao Ziyu is Yinlin... Over the years, every move he makes has hit the enemy's vital points, and he has made every move... He must have his own ideas this time!"
Gan's father also stood up, "I hope so..."
He stroked his beard and said, "I'm getting old, but I just hope... to see my daughter again. I don't know where my daughter is now living after King Wei retired to seclusion?"
this…
Zhao Yun said softly: "The top priority is that uncle should focus on Adou. Five years from now... Adou will be quite old! During this period, we must find a way to tell him his life experience and the truth!"
call…
Father Gan exhaled, things... seem to be not that simple!
…
…
Luoyang City, the imperial palace of Longlou and Fengque, the clouds hide from the sun.
On the steps of the palace, Xu Chu, the commander of the Huben Army, led a group of soldiers and escorted a eunuch directly into it.
The young eunuchs panicked and asked sharply: "Xu... General Xu Chu, what... does this mean?"
"Catch Bashu and make a fool of yourself. Get out of the way! I'll report it to Your Majesty!" Xu Chu's words were cold...
The little eunuch quickly got out of the way!
at the same time…
In a palace…
"Sister Fu, after finding out the news, I placed my trusted maid in the palace, pretended to be close to the eunuch, and became his rival. While drunk... luring the eunuch out of his mouth was a trick sent by Zhuge Liang...
So he reported the news to General Xu Chu of the Huben Army..."
The speaker is Princess Liu Xue of Ten Thousand Years...
She has lived in the palace since she was a child, and exploring the information in the palace... is something she can easily do.
And this also allowed her to enter the state first, becoming Lu Yu's most effective general in the Que Sect.
Fu Shou looked at Liu Xue, who was giving him all the money in front of him, and smiled, "Princess has done a good job, Your Majesty will not be crowned for more than three months... At this time, Bashu will definitely send a lot of detailed work to find out the news about Your Majesty. Princess must not slack off.
…This detailed work is the first, but it is by no means the last…”
Show off Liu Xue...
Fu Shou turned to the other people in the Que Sect, Sun Shangxiang, Ma Yunlu, Lu Lingqi, Zhang Qiying...and Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan...
These originally delicate women, because of the existence of the Quemen, suddenly became the eyes of Emperor Lu Yu who monitored hundreds of officials and controlled the world.
"really…"
Sun Shangxiang lamented: "Women are the easiest to make people slack off...and the easiest to obtain needed information..."
Witnessing Liu Xue's entire process of detecting intelligence and arresting people, Lu Lingqi's heart was filled with ripples. "This is the meaning of the Quemen's existence..."
"How wonderful this is..." Ma Yunlu patted his chest, "Compared to making a vase that can only be viewed but has no effect, I actually like this kind of action!"
It seems...Sun Shangxiang, Ma Yunlu, and Lu Lingqi all don't mind the big deal...
Diao Chan is quite experienced in this...
Ever since she tried to alienate the relationship between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo in order to help the big man, she knew... that women tend to do many things more easily than men, and it is easier to achieve their goals!
After all, a woman's delicate appearance... can easily confuse the enemy and make him slack off...
"Next, are we going to spread those trained confidants all over the world?" Diao Chan asked...
Fu Shou nodded, "Leave the control of Jiangdong to Shang Xiang, from Lujiang to Nanyang, Xiao Qiao is in charge, the princess will control the palace and officials as usual, Yunlu will pay close attention to the movements of the warlords in Xiliang, and...
Lingqi, Xuzhou will be left to you!"
No matter the details…
Fu Shou carefully explained the area where each person should apply eyeliner.
And those so-called "confidants"... are all selected from among female soldiers, female believers of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, and helpless female children. The Fushou Society hired doctors from the Confucian School of Taixue to teach them music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Poems, songs, and poems were also invited to cultivate the aura and etiquette of female officials in the palace, and brothel madams were also trained on how to approach men and please them.
These girls are outside, and their families are being accommodated by the Quemen...so there is no need to worry about their loyalty!
This is the direction of Quemen that Fu Shou has thought hard for a long time... and it is also the direction that can best help their husband, Lu Yu.
Can…
In the entire deployment, Zhang Qiying's arrangements were the only one lacking.
"Does Sister Fu not trust me?" Sure enough, Zhang Qiying asked doubtfully. "Why do all the concubines have their own areas of responsibility, but I...Sister Fu don't have any arrangements?"
Hearing this…
Fu Shou raised his eyes and looked at her, "Because... your mission is the most important!"
"My husband is the Son of Heaven, an emperor, and a benevolent monarch. But behind the benevolent monarch... we need an underground force to eradicate all injustices! The Quemen is responsible for this, and you... are the top priority!"
