Mi Han

Although it was in the middle of the night, the little yellow gate from the palace quickly found Zhuge Liang.

There is no other reason. Everyone in Chengdu knows that Zhuge Liang is a person who often stays up late to work.

Coupled with the fact that such a big event happened during the day today, with Zhuge Liang's character of loyalty to the country, it is even more impossible for him to leave Shangshutai tonight.

After all, if the criminal evidence of the Yizhou family is sorted out earlier, the turmoil in Chengdu will be one point more likely to be smoothed over as soon as possible.

It's just that although Zhuge Liang often stays up late for official business, he is considerate of his subordinates and will not force his subordinates to stay with him to work together.

It is Zhuge Liang's original intention of being dedicated to the public and being considerate of his subordinates, but under the arrangement of some caring people, it has become evidence of Zhuge Liang's love for monopolizing power, which is really ridiculous.

When Zhuge Liang, who was reviewing many criminal evidences alone at Shangshutai, received the edict from Xiaohuangmen, a look of surprise appeared on his face for a moment.

Liu Bei seldom summoned him late at night.

Something went wrong, which made Zhuge Liang have a bad feeling in his heart.

Under this bad premonition, Zhuge Liang quickly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and then hurriedly followed the little yellow gate to the palace.

On the way to the palace, Zhuge Liang was guessing why Liu Bei called him urgently.

Reminiscent of Mi Zhu's physical condition during the day, Zhuge Liang had some inferences in his mind.

But based on Zhuge Liang's understanding of Liu Bei, he knew that that matter alone was not enough to make Liu Bei like this.

After all kinds of thinking, Zhuge Liang still couldn't guess what made Liu Bei so anxious to see him, so he could only temporarily suppress his inner doubts.

Anyway, after seeing Liu Bei for a while, everything will be clear.

It's just that when Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei under the leadership of Xiaohuangmen, the shock on his face became more and more intense, and he almost blurted out and asked:

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

After asking this sentence, because of the worry in his heart, Zhuge Liang forgot the boundary between monarch and minister for a moment, and hurriedly approached Liu Bei.

It's no wonder that Zhuge Liang had this reaction, it's really that Liu Bei's current state is not good.

With the passing of Mi Zhu, Liu Bei seemed not to want his bedroom to be too bright.

Under his order, many candles in the dormitory had been extinguished, so his dormitory looked quite dark at this time.

In addition, under Liu Bei's grief, the long hair under the crown was a little loose, and his expression looked very sluggish.

Of course, the most important thing is that when Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei happened to be drinking a bowl of soup.

Liu Bei's various performances are enough to show that he is in poor health now.

This is another important reason why he called Zhuge Liang urgently.

Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang approaching him with concern, a smile finally appeared on his sad face.

But when he thought of Mi Zhu's departure, Liu Bei was still heartbroken. He put down the soup in his hand, looked at Zhuge Liang and said sadly:

"Mr. Mi is gone."

Although it was just four simple words, Zhuge Liang could tell from Liu Bei's tone and his current expression how uncomfortable Liu Bei was feeling now.

Presumably, the reason why Liu Bei was sick had a lot to do with Mi Zhu's departure.

Liu Bei's health is not considered good recently, Liu Bei once told Zhuge Liang about this.

In addition, in the contemporary world that pays attention to friendship, honesty and shame, the violent ups and downs of these two emotions, grief and anger, can directly affect people's health.

In the past, I don't know how many talents died on these two words.

And with Liu Bei's personality that values ​​love and righteousness more than ordinary people, this will only have a greater impact on his health.

Thinking of this, the worry on Zhuge Liang's face became more and more intense.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward to pick up the soup that Liu Bei put down, and when he handed the soup to Liu Bei again, he said with concern:
"I also hope that Your Majesty will mourn, and your body is the most important thing."

When saying this sentence, Zhuge Liang was also in a very sad mood.

Although the personal relationship between Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang was not deep in the past, for a pure minister like Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang admired him from the bottom of his heart.

So Mi Zhu's departure made Zhuge Liang feel bad.

Facing Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Bei coughed a few times and shook his head slightly.

He pushed away the decoction that Zhuge Liang handed over, and his body knew it.

He won't be able to die for a while, but in the same way, drinking this bowl of soup medicine can't make his body fully recover.

He urgently summoned Zhuge Liang to come, because he had more important matters.

Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang, "Liu Ba has been deposed by me from the position of minister.

Although the main government affairs of Shangshutai are handled by the Qing, the ancestral system cannot be abolished, and Qing also needs a talented person to assist.

In the early morning of tomorrow, Qing will plan to recruit Shangshu Ma Liang to succeed Shangshu Ling. "

Hearing Liu Bei's order, Zhuge Liangliang took the order.

In terms of the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, although the power of Shang Shuling is not as good as before, it is still a very important position.

In terms of status and power, Shang Shuling can be equivalent to the deputy prime minister.

For such a position, it is definitely necessary to find a talented person to succeed as soon as possible.

And Ma Liang is currently the best candidate to succeed Shang Shuling in the Han Dynasty in terms of qualifications, achievements, and reputation.

After deciding on this matter, Liu Bei then said to Zhuge Liang: "In addition to drafting this edict, you should also draft another edict to mourn Mi Jun.

He also ordered Zuo Zhonglang General Yang Yi to be an envoy to hold the festival, and presented Mi Jun Hussar General Sikong Yinshou with the posthumous title of Mi Jun Wenxiang.

When it was time for the burial, Shishi was ordered to send the tigers, and the drums were played before and after, and the hussar generals and Sikong honor guards were buried for Mi Jun.

Anyone below the three princes in Chengdu must come in person on that day.

In addition, it is stated in the imperial edict that according to Jun Mi's dying wishes, the death and funeral are not a national event, so members of the Mi clan do not need to mourn for Jun Mi. "

Hearing Liu Bei's order, Zhuge Liang still accepted the order and said yes.

Based on Mi Zhu's achievements during his lifetime and Liu Bei's affection for him, it is reasonable for him to be posthumously named Sikong, one of the three lords after his death. After all, Mi Zhu was one of the nine ministers during his lifetime.

And even though it is posthumous, according to the current etiquette, all the honors of posthumous ancestors can be enjoyed by the clansmen of the ancestors as when the ancestors were alive.

That is to say, from now on, if others want to call Mi Zhu respectfully, they must treat him as Sikong.

Moreover, Mi Zhu's family will also have the first Sangong, which is extremely beneficial to the development of a family.

If it is reasonable to say that Mi Zhu was named Sikong, then from the posthumous title given to Mi Zhu by Liu Bei and the funeral arrangements, we can see how deep Liu Bei's affection for Mi Zhu is.

The word Wenxiang is an excellent posthumous posthumous title for ministers.

Moreover, according to the etiquette system of the Han Dynasty, it was not easy for ordinary ministers to obtain posthumous titles, not to mention that they generally only received single-character posthumous titles.

But now Mi Zhu has received a two-character posthumous title that represents a great honor, and he can also get the funeral protocol that is obviously beyond the standard. Liu Bei can be said to be extremely honorable to Mi Zhu after his death.

As for not allowing the Mi clan to mourn for Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was doing it for Mi Yang and also for Liangzhou.

After ordering these two important things in succession, Liu Bei couldn't help coughing a few more times.

His expression became paler and paler.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang hurried forward to pat Liu Bei's back and smooth his breath. Under Zhuge Liang's service, Liu Bei's breath gradually stabilized.

Looking at Zhuge Liang who took care of him like a nephew, Liu Bei's face was pale, but he still had a look of relief.

It's just that state affairs are important, and he is going to tell Zhuge Liang the most important thing next.

Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand, and said softly to him, "My body has also been seen, and it is no longer as strong as when I was young.

It's just that state affairs are the most important thing, and I can't let go of the great opportunity that Mr. Mi gave me with his life today. "

Speaking of this, Liu Bei picked up an edict from the imperial case in front of him, and he handed the edict that he had just written by himself into Zhuge Liang's hands.

Then he said in a cautious tone: "This edict was written by myself, and the contents of the edict are that I want the crown prince to attend the court and exercise his ability to handle political affairs.

And during the period when the crown prince is in court, all government affairs in the court will be decided by you. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations. "

When hearing Liu Bei's solemn words, Zhuge Liang had tears in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang knew why Liu Bei gave him the power to assist the government in advance, not as stated in Liu Bei's edict. He wanted to exercise Liu Chan's ability to govern in advance.

It was Liu Bei who realized that his body might not be able to cope with the complicated government affairs that followed.

He needs a period of time to take care of his body.

Liu Bei's dignified tone was a little apologetic, as if he felt that it was wrong for Zhuge Liang to be so tired.

After realizing the complicated emotions in Liu Bei's heart, Zhuge Liang felt very sad in his heart.

But how could Zhuge Liang not understand Liu Bei's helplessness?

Yuan Cong's old officials are either dead or away, and the second generation of Yuan Cong still needs time to grow up.

Now there is no shortage of corresponding political talents in the whole Han Dynasty, but how many people can Liu Bei fully trust?

Don't forget, what Liu Ba did today broke Liu Bei's heart, and it also sounded a wake-up call for him.

This is true for the clan members of the Han Dynasty, let alone others.

Under such circumstances, Zhuge Liang is the only one Liu Bei can entrust to the current ruling and opposition parties.

Facing Liu Bei's somewhat apologetic gaze, Zhuge Liang took a break from his sadness.

What he has to do now is to reassure Liu Bei and recover from his illness.

So facing Liu Bei's entrustment, Zhuge Liang stepped back slightly with the edict in his hand, and prayed to Liu Bei with tears:
"If you don't try your best, you will die!"

From the day he followed Liu Bei, like Mi Zhu and others, he entrusted his whole life to Liu Bei's great cause.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's solemn promise in front of him, Liu Bei's heart was more than half settled.

He has experienced many betrayals in his life, but what God favors him is that there are some people who will never change to him until death.

It's just that Liu Bei still has one thing to tell Zhuge Liang.

"After the corresponding criminal evidence is sorted out, Qing must remember not to be lenient, and the family will be the family.

Everything today is not a good situation created by Mr. Mi alone. If Yun Chang and others are alive in heaven, they also hope that those petty crimes will be deserved. "

When he said these words, Liu Bei's tone was full of coldness.

Liu Bei knew that the reason why Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others left before him was because they all had hidden wounds in their bodies.

It can be said that they used their own lives to help themselves to the throne of the emperor.

That being the case, whether it is for the comfort of the great man or his fellow spirits in heaven, Liu Bei does not want those Yizhou aristocratic families who deserved their crimes to survive in this world.

After hearing Liu Bei's instruction, Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly.

Facing Xiaoxiao, he has always been tolerant, and he does not lack iron and blood methods.

Seeing that Liu Bei had already given all his orders, Zhuge Liang didn't want to disturb Liu Bei's rest, so he offered to resign Liu Bei.

After getting Liu Bei's permission, Zhuge Liang turned around and walked out of the hall.

From time to time, a breeze broke into Liu Bei's bedroom. Under the illumination of the lights in the hall, it seemed that Zhuge Liang's figure falling on the ground was shaking unceasingly.

It's just that although the lights in the hall were dim at this time, in Liu Bei's eyes, Zhuge Liang's swaying figure seemed to be shining.

Liu Bei, who had this illusion, unconsciously stopped Zhuge Liang.

Hearing Liu Bei's call, Zhuge Liang quickly turned around and looked at Liu Bei with surprised eyes.

Does His Majesty have anything else to order?

After Liu Bei saw the tears hanging from the corners of Zhuge Liang's eyes, he smiled slightly.

Feeling very tired, he forced himself to sit upright under Zhuge Liang's gaze, and then said softly to Zhuge Liang:
"I am still here, please don't worry."

"The sky is dark and the road is dangerous, please go slowly."

After listening to Liu Bei's two words with special meaning, Zhuge Liang felt a sense of stability in his heart.

Although the man in his eyes is gray-haired, he has always been the backbone of the big man.

With him here, I feel at ease.

Facing the dim light, Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Liu Bei, then resolutely turned around and exited Liu Bei's bedroom.

You have to make him feel at ease.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's resolute leaving back, Liu Bei also showed a reassuring smile.

Maybe Liu Bei's sleeping hall is dimly lit tonight, but fortunately, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, a pair of monarchs and ministers, gathered in this sleeping hall tonight.

The dimness of the light cannot cover up the brilliance emanating from the pair of monarchs and ministers, which has fascinated countless people in the future.

When the sun shone in Chengdu on the second day, Zhuge Liang announced Liu Bei's three edicts in time according to Liu Bei's instructions last night.

Among the three edicts, although the other two are somewhat surprising, compared to the edict that Liu Bei let the prince listen to the government and Zhuge Liang assisted the government, their influence is far less than it.

Such a big event just happened yesterday, and the city of Chengdu is already in a state of turmoil.

Now that Liu Bei has issued this edict again, the hearts of the people in Chengdu became more floating for a while.

After all, although Liu Bei deliberately concealed his illness, at this juncture, Liu Bei suddenly handed over all political power to Zhuge Liang and the ineffective prince, which really cannot be imagined.

Many people may not be able to guess the truth of the matter, but this does not affect their divergent thinking and start guessing wildly.

For a time, various shocking rumors circulated in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.

Some of those rumors were generated spontaneously, while others were deliberately spread by people with good intentions.

A centipede is dead but not stiff, and at this time many Yizhou aristocratic families are still alive and well.

Then their secret counterattack is bound to be brewing.

Sitting and waiting to die has never been their style.

With the dissemination of various rumors, the hearts of the people in Chengdu became more and more turbulent.

And this kind of turmoil is rapidly radiating towards the entire big man at an unimaginable speed after dawn.

Yesterday, people only thought that Dahan was about to face a violent storm, but some people of insight had already seen keenly that what Dahan was about to face next was actually a major earthquake that could affect the country.

Including Zhuge Liang.

But whether it is a storm or a major earthquake, will Zhuge Liang be afraid?

He is Crouching Dragon!
Also today, under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, a courier rode out from Chengdu quickly and headed towards Liangzhou.
