Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 65
It was late at night, the sky was dark, in the Yong'an Palace.

Liu Bei who just woke up from a coma on the imperial couch murmured, "Zilong, Zilong, is Adou here?"

"Prince, we will arrive at Yong'an in half an hour." Zhao Yun, who was guarding in front of the couch, hurried forward, looked down at the pale Liu Bei and said.

Hearing that Liu Chan would arrive in half an hour, Liu Bei murmured to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, help me up, I want some porridge."

Gong'e, who was standing not far away, hurried forward to serve Liu Bei.When Liu Chan arrived, Liu Bei's face was a little blush.

"Your Majesty, the prince is seeking an audience outside." The attendant outside the door reported.

"Xuan!" Liu Bei waved his hand, and Zhao Yun shouted.

"My son is not filial, so I will arrive today." Liu Chan walked into the hall, knelt down on the couch, with a sad expression on his face.

Liu Bei leaned back on the imperial pillow and said with a slight smile, "It's not too late, it's just in time, get up! Sit on the couch and talk."

Liu Chan took the porridge bowl from Gong'e and was about to serve Liu Bei himself, but Liu Bei waved his hand and refused.

"Adou, I'm full for my father, everyone retreat first!" Liu Bei waved his hand to signal everyone to leave the hall.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun knew that Liu Bei wanted to have a private conversation with Liu Chan, so he took Gong'e back.

Liu Chan saw that the pillow was not very comfortable for Liu Bei. Liu Chan stretched out his hand to adjust the pillow for Liu Bei. As expected, Liu Bei was much more comfortable. He took a long breath, patted Liu Chan with his hand and praised: "Adou has a heart!"

"A Dou, I'm afraid my father will die soon, and the big man will depend on you in the future." Liu Bei looked at Liu Chan with deep eyes.

Liu Chan knelt in front of the couch and replied: "Father, it's just a minor illness. Father's blessings are as good as the sky, so naturally there is no problem."

"Get up, you don't need to be so formal, your heart is known to the father, but people are born, old, sick and die, and people can't change their destiny!" Liu Bei raised the corner of his mouth and said.

Liu Chan held Liu Bei's left hand, his eyes were red.

"Are you the only one coming this time?" Liu Bei saw that the atmosphere was a bit sad, so he changed the subject.

Liu Chan replied respectfully: "Second brother, third brother, mother and queen are behind, and sons and ministers come first."

"Who taught you!" Liu Bei stared at Liu Chan with cloudy eyes.

"Is it Fei Yi!" Liu Chan's back felt a little cold for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Liu Bei continued.

Liu Chan flashed countless thoughts in an instant, and said in a sad tone: "Father, my son is worried about my father's dragon body, so I will go ahead quickly. If I go with you younger brothers, I am worried that your younger brothers will delay time on the road."

Liu Bei was obviously satisfied with Liu Chan's answer and reaction. He patted the back of Liu Chan's hand and said slowly, "Adou is very good. I will hand over the big man to you. Don't worry!"

Liu Chan let out a long breath in his heart, this was Liu Bei's final test for himself.

Liu Bei tremblingly took out the scarf from his arms and handed it to Liu Chan.Liu Chan took the scarf and spread it out under Liu Bei's gesture.

Impressively written on the scarf: the names of Zhuge Liang, Huang Quan, and Li Yan.Liu Chan raised his head and looked at Liu Bei in astonishment. This is the list of ministers.

Liu Bei pursed his lips and said, "These are the three Tuogu ministers I left for you, see if you have any doubts."

Liu Chan looked at the word Li Yan, his eyes flickering.

Liu Bei thought that Liu Chan was dissatisfied, and looked at the curtain with blurred eyes and murmured: "I think that in the future, the great man should help the world, put the people first, and govern the monarch and his ministers together; I started from nothing, and I have been a soldier and horse all my life. You are too weak now. This ability! Let the prime minister and other ministers shoulder more burdens."

"Take a virtuous minister as the prime minister and a good minister as the commander in chief to help you tide over the difficulties." Liu Bei raised his index finger and pointed at the scarf.

Liu Chan's eyes were red, his face was sad, and he expressed his doubts in his heart: "Father, Li Yan is a man with impure scheming and a serious desire for fame and fortune. How can such a person be a minister for my big man!"

Liu Bei turned his head to Liu Chan and said in a low voice, "Li Yan, if you can't use him well, how can you help the world and govern the great man?"

Liu Chan bowed his head and said nothing, Liu Bei looked at Liu Chan with loving eyes and explained: "Remember, A Dou, the prosperity of the world is for profit; the chaos of the world is for profit. If this person has no desires or desires in his heart, how dare you?" Great use."

"I understand." Liu Chan cupped his hands and saluted.

"It's good for you to understand, good or bad, sometimes they can't control them. If you see clearly, use when you are good, and dismiss if you are not good." Liu Bei tapped on the couch and said in a low voice.

"The water of the great river is clear, but the water of the great river is turbid. The water of the Yangtze River benefits the people, and the water of the great river benefits the people. Don't use it because of the clear water, and you can't use it because of the turbidity. Governance; on the contrary, the great man also needs to be governed. If the great river floods the people, how can we not kill them. This is the case of the three masters, Fu Yan, Chao Cuo, and Shang Yang. It is not the same to teach Liu Chan in public and to teach Liu Chan in public.)
Liu Chan cupped his hands and saluted, weeping, "I thank my father for your warning!"

Liu Bei was afraid that his remarks would bias Liu Chan, so he urged again: "The prime minister is no longer in this list. After you ascend the throne, you can rely more on the prime minister. The prime minister's talent and virtue are not comparable to the three of us, but the prime minister can be the Duke of Zhou."

Liu Chan thanked Liu Bei again. In Liu Chan's heart, this was Liu Bei's last advice to himself and the last thing he could do.Seeing that Liu Bei was tired, Liu Chan chatted a few words and then withdrew.

In the past few days, the atmosphere in Yong'an Palace has become more and more dignified. After Liu Chan saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei woke up intermittently for the next few days, hanging his last breath, and finally saw Liu Yong and Liu Lihou.Liu Bei held on for two or three days, but couldn't take it anymore.

In Yong'an Palace, in front of the imperial couch, a group of people, headed by Liu Chan, knelt down and buried their heads, unable to see their expressions clearly.

Liu Bei was lying on the couch, his eyes were cloudy, and he was staring at the curtain dimly. He was already dying of illness, and there was still an empty medicine bowl beside the couch.

Liao Li, Pan Jun, Zhao Yun, Ma Su...More and more ministers came to kneel on the couch, and Liu Bei signaled Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan, Huang Quan, and Li Yan to come forward.

"Who else hasn't come, is Shang Shuling (Liu Ba) coming?" After a while, Liu Bei asked with a somewhat unclear expression.

Zhuge Liang approached and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shang Shuling died of illness last year."

Liu Bei murmured: "Oh, Liu Ba has also gone, and they have left one after another over the years."

Liu Bei forced himself to scan the crowd of people in front of the couch, and paused on Zhao Yun's body.

Liu Bei's breath was unstable, and he looked at Zhuge Liang and said slowly: "The prince is talented and intelligent, with great ambitions, but the prince is young and not familiar with state affairs, so he will rely on the prime minister in the future. You are ten times as talented as Cao Pi, and you will be able to stabilize the country and make great decisions. You can do it." For the affairs of the Duke of Zhou, if you give the king a bow, arrow and axe, you will have the right to conquer."

Zhuge Liang broke down in tears and said: "I dare to exhaust my strength, serve the festival of loyalty, and then die!"

Liu Bei intermittently said to Huang Quan and Li Yan: "Gongheng, Zhengfang, you two are ministers of Tuogu together with the prime minister, supplemented by military forces. Gongheng can stay in Yong'an for Weiwei, and Zhengfang will stay in Qianwei for Shang Shuling; The prime minister records the affairs of the minister and the captain of the Sili school."

Huang Quan and Li Yan knelt down and wept to obey the order.

Slowed down, Liu Beifang raised his trembling hand, pointed at Liu Chan, and said with difficulty: "Prince, remember, don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small. Only virtue and virtue can convince others. You Don't imitate your father's virtue!"

At this time, Liu Bei used all his strength to put Liu Chan's right hand on Zhuge Liang's right hand.

"Kong Ming, the heir is entrusted to you. Ma Su exaggerates the truth and cannot be used. Deng Ai will ignore others and be loyal to the Han Dynasty. You can reuse it."

"It's a pity that I couldn't see my grandson born."

Not long after, Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, died in the Yong'an Palace in 223 AD, and there was a lot of mourning.
