Chapter 647: The veteran cheats death and persuades him to become emperor

Chapter 647: A veteran pretends to die to persuade him to become emperor

Time passed by like a fleeting moment, and ten years not only made Liu Zhang grow old, but also the others. Everyone around Liu Zhang wanted him to become emperor, but everyone knew what he was waiting for, and no one was willing to ask for trouble. So, he persuaded Liu Zhang

The candidate to be the emperor has become the most difficult talent to find! However, being difficult to find does not mean that you cannot find it. Xu Shu accidentally thought of an excellent candidate!

Chang'an, Palace of the Prince of Qin.

Since Liu Tuo took over the government affairs, Liu Zhang has been much more leisurely. He gathers with his brothers to drink every day, and occasionally checks on Liu Tuo's administration. He feels very uncomfortable. On this day, he summoned everyone to drink together to relieve the boredom in his chest.

.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened!" Halfway through the wine, a waiter suddenly broke in.

"Huh?" Liu Zhang drank a little too much. When he saw the flustered chamberlain, he asked unhappily: "What happened?"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Nanyang sent someone to report that he is no longer alive!" Seeing Liu Zhang's expression of surprise, the chamberlain shuddered. Fortunately, Liu Zhang did not have the habit of killing people indiscriminately, even if he was a chamberlain!

"Nanyang Marquis? Just Marquis?" Alcohol can easily affect intelligence. Liu Zhang shook his head and asked, "Who are they?"

"Why did your Majesty forget that a few days ago, you made Huang Xu the Marquis of Nanyang and Huang Zhong the Marquis of Gang!" Seeing Liu Zhang drunkenly, Zhang Ren smiled and shook his head. He didn't hear what the chamberlain said!

"Oh! It turns out they are Huang Zhong and his son! You just said that Huang Xu sent someone to report that Huang Zhong is dead, right?" Liu Zhang suddenly realized that he didn't realize what he was talking about, but several people around him were stunned.

Living.

After a long while, Liu Zhang seemed to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He once again savored what the chamberlain said, and then he jumped up with a face full of surprise and said, "What did you say? Han Sheng is dying?"

"Yes!" Seeing Liu Zhang finally reacting, the chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "That's what the person sent by Nanyang Marquis said!"

"Are you kidding!" Liu Zhang said angrily: "Han Sheng has always been in good health, how could he suddenly fail!"

Zhang Rendao: "Your Majesty, you are already sixty years old, and Nanyang Hou is nearly ninety years old. You are already considered to have lived a long life!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to the Huang Mansion with me!" Liu Zhang was not in the mood to study whether Huang Zhong should die. He took Zhang Ren and ran to the Huang Mansion, and also sent someone to invite Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo!

News that Huang Zhong was critically ill soon spread throughout Chang'an. As a veteran of the Qin Army, many people had more or less contact with him. When Liu Zhang arrived at Huang's Mansion, the gate of Huang's Mansion was already full of people, and Zhang Ji,

Hua Tuo has also arrived! Under the guidance of his servants, Liu Zhang came to Huang Zhong's bedroom.

"Han Sheng, how are you?" Liu Zhang's heart ached when he came to the couch and saw Huang Zhong, who was pale, with sunken eyes, chapped lips and dying of breath.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here!" Huang Zhong opened his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "The old minister's illness has alarmed you. You really deserve to die!"

"Shit!" Liu Zhang said angrily: "Why are you so sick that you sent someone to notify the orphan?"

"Don't blame them, Your Majesty. I didn't let them inform you!" Huang Zhong said with a smile: "You have worked hard for the Han Dynasty for decades, and in the past few years, you have been a scholar. Yide and others are very unhappy.

How can I upset you because of my body? If it weren't for the fact that my life is approaching, I would never bother you!"

"Nonsense!" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "Your body is so healthy, what's the problem if you live for another twenty years? Stop talking such nonsense and take good care of your health. How can the world of Han Dynasty be without you!"

"Your Majesty, you have given me too much praise!" Huang Zhong said with a smile: "I know my own situation. I have no regrets in following your Majesty to fight in all directions throughout my life! However, I have one last wish. I wonder if your Majesty can let me get what I want?

"

"Han Sheng, please speak frankly, as long as I can do it, even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pluck them for you!" Liu Zhang looked at the old general who had protected him all his life and treated him like a teacher and a father.

Tears, when he thought about it, Huang Zhong probably wanted him to take care of Huang Xu and others.

"Your Majesty, I most want to see you ascend the throne!" Huang Zhong asked with a smile: "I wonder if you can agree?"

"I...promise..." Liu Zhang never expected that Huang Zhong would actually make such a request. Although he hoped that all his brothers would be there when he ascended the throne, he also knew that Pang Tong and others were already in danger. He did not want to lose them again.

Brother, I will let Huang Zhong down again!

"Your Majesty, have you agreed?" Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then sat up excitedly.

"Have I ever lied to you?" Seeing Huang Zhong suddenly sit up and his face glowing red, Liu Zhang asked with some confusion: "Han Sheng, why do I feel that your illness is cured instantly?"

"Uh..." Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had revealed his secret. He touched his head awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, when I heard that you were going to ascend the throne, I was so happy that all my illnesses disappeared... Didn't my predecessors also feel happy?

Say something!”

"Yeah! It's true that I said that for joy!" Liu Zhang sneered and nodded. When he first met Huang Zhong, he was immediately led astray. He thought Huang Zhong was really about to die. But in this scene, anyone who is not a fool will be fooled.

I can make a rough guess.

"Your Majesty, you have already promised me, don't regret it!" Huang Zhong also secretly blamed himself in his heart. He is almost ninety years old, why can't he calm down!

Ignoring Huang Zhong's request, Liu Zhang asked coldly: "Tell me honestly, who taught you this strategy, and you actually faked your death to earn your tears!"

"Your Majesty, aren't you really angry?" Seeing Liu Zhang's gloomy face, Huang Zhong felt a little uneasy. It was indeed a bit too much to use the trick of cheating death to plot against his lord!

"Alas..." Liu Zhang sighed and said, "If Gu is not angry, I still want to thank you! Han Sheng, it was you who made Gu think clearly! The person who taught you this strategy must be very wise, and Gu's subordinates can see through it.

The people who have Gu's heart and put it into action are none other than Fengxiao, Wenhe and a few people. Over the years, Gu has let you down!"

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Liu Zhang's guilty face, Huang Zhong became anxious. The last thing he wanted to do was see Liu Zhang in pain, otherwise his heart would feel like it was being cut by a knife.

"Han Sheng, there is no need to say more. I understand your heart!" Liu Zhang patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and said, "I have already failed Shi Yuan and Gong Jin, but I can no longer fail you! Ten years have passed since the unification of the world.

I should give you the honor you deserve! Although there are still some shortcomings, they are my shortcomings, and I cannot let you spend the rest of your life regretting them with me!"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong, I shouldn't have forced you!" Listening to Liu Zhang's self-blaming words, Huang Zhong burst into tears. He really didn't want to make Liu Zhang feel uncomfortable!

"No, you're right, it's Gu's fault!" Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Fortunately you were just pretending to be sick. If you really died of illness and Gu failed to give you the reward, I would regret it! You take good care of yourself.

, When I ascend the throne, I want to see Huang Zhong of Nanyang in the past standing on the Zen platform to receive the conferment!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. On that day, I will climb up to the Zen platform even if I crawl!" Seeing that Liu Zhang had such deep feelings for him, Huang Zhong was very excited. If Liu Zhang hadn't held him down, he would have kowtowed to Liu Zhang.

To show loyalty!

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "There's no need to do this. When the time comes, you really can't walk anymore, so I'll just order someone to carry you up with a luan chariot!"

"This..." Huang Zhong became more and more moved, and he said with a tearful tone: "How can I be so virtuous and capable that the king values ​​me so much? Don't say that I am just pretending to be sick today, even if I really die of illness, I will have no regrets..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I still expect you to become the longest-lived old man in the Han Dynasty!" Liu Zhang said with a smile on his face: "You will take good care of me, and I will arrange for the enthronement right now..."

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Since Liu Zhang had agreed to proclaim himself emperor, Huang Zhong had no reason to stop him, so he prostrated on the couch and sent him away!

Returning to the Qin Palace, Liu Zhang immediately summoned Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others and ordered them to preside over the matter of proclaiming the emperor. Although it was expected, Jia Xu and others were also full of joy. The matter of proclaiming the emperor had begun ten years ago.

Preparation, many things have been prepared, just need to be rearranged.

Everyone has been waiting for ten years, and finally this day has come! Dozens of important ministers in the court have mobilized together. Not to mention preparing to become emperor, it is not difficult to fight for hegemony again!

Choosing auspicious days, arranging troops and horses, everything from the order on the day of enthronement to the clothing of civil and military officials, as well as the rewards for officials at all levels, all need to be carefully arranged. However, when the Ministry of Personnel handed over the list of rewarded heroes to Liu Zhang

, Liu Zhang did not hesitate to cancel the rewards of Huang Zhong, Guan Yu and others.

Jushou couldn't understand the reward list he received back, so he immediately found Liu Zhang and wanted an explanation. Of course, he didn't believe that Liu Zhang would ignore the merits of his veterans. After hearing Jushou's purpose, Liu Zhang pointed to the reward list and said

: "How can a mere marquis praise these veterans? You go back first, and you will have your own plans on the day you ascend the throne!"

Seeing Liu Zhang's insistence, Ju Shou didn't dare to ask any more questions. What's more, he understood what Liu Zhang meant. The marquis was not enough to repay the merit, so the only choice was the duke. In addition, he was one of the people whose names were crossed out, and he

How could he object? Although Jushu followed Liu Zhang just to show off his ambitions, how could he refuse if he could be offered a high-ranking official and a generous salary? Fame and wealth are something that only monks who have truly seen through the world of mortals may have lost the courage to live and are ready to commit suicide.

No one is exempt from vulgarity!

Although most things were well prepared, the enthronement ceremony was complicated and large-scale, and it still took more than half a year to prepare. However, people all over the world were very happy when they heard that Liu Zhang was finally going to ascend the throne. In Chang'an, in order to celebrate Liu Zhang's accession to the throne,

People spontaneously put red and colorful colors on their doors to show their yearning for a happy life.

Of course, the people who were happy for Liu Zhang's ascension to the throne were not limited to Chang'an, Shuzhong, Bingzhou, and Liangzhou. These places were the first to enjoy Liu Zhang's policies. People with some wealth began to gather in Chang'an. They just wanted to pay tribute to Liu Zhang.

Kowtow to express gratitude to Liu Zhang for surviving...
