"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang was shocked and hurriedly rushed forward.

Sima Yi, Fa Zheng, Ma Teng, Zhao Yun and other military generals also hurriedly pounced, and the main hall was immediately in chaos.

Zhuge Liang held Liu Bei in his arms, pinching Liu Bei's middle while caressing Liu Bei's chest to soothe his qi and blood.

After a while, Liu Bei woke up faintly, and immediately burst into tears, and blamed himself ashamedly: "It was my incompetence that failed to rescue the Son of Heaven in time, so that the Son of Heaven was killed by the Su thief......"

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief and comforted: "The lord has done his best, the Son of Heaven was killed by the thief, and he has no responsibility with the lord, and the lord must not blame himself like this." ”

Sima Yi on the side echoed: "The military advisor is reasonable, not only should the lord blame himself, but should turn his grief into strength, ascend the throne as soon as possible, inherit the unification, and lead us to sweep away the Su thieves and avenge the Son of Heaven." ”

Fa Zheng and others have joined in.

Liu Bei sighed lightly, waved his hand and said: "The Son of Heaven has just been killed, I will be the emperor immediately, what will the people of the world say about me, are you trying to trap me Liu Bei for injustice?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Liu Bei's words, so he said: "Since the lord has promised to inherit the unification, it is true that he should not be in a hurry, Liang thinks that the lord can mourn for the first emperor first, and then inherit the unification is not too late." ”

Liu Bei is going to do enough to make a play, and mourn for Liu Xie with great fanfare, so that the people of the world, at least the people of Sanzhou under his rule, know that Liu Xie has been "victimized" by Su Zhe.

Then, it is logical for him to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, and if he inherits the throne immediately, he will give people a handle, making people think that he can't wait.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang understood his thoughts, Liu Bei was secretly happy in his heart, but he sighed with tears on his face: "Since this is the case, then the matter of mourning for the first emperor will be handled by the military advisor, I am now in a state of confusion and I can't do anything." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, just leave everything to Liang." Zhuge Liang nodded again and again, waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, quickly send the lord back to the room to rest." ”

Chen Zhi came over busily, beckoned a few personal soldiers to help Liu Bei up, and helped him to rest in the inner mansion.

Along the way, Liu Bei sighed, was sad, and his tears were wet all the way as if they were worthless.

Finally, after crying and crying all the way, Liu Bei was helped back to the room.

"Close the door, I want to be alone." Liu Bei lay limp on the desk and waved his hand weakly.

Chen Zhi repelled his own soldiers with interest and closed the door of the room.

In the empty room, only Liu Bei was left.

Liu Bei, who was originally depressed and sad, sat up suddenly, wiped away the tears on his face, and his gray face was full of spring breeze in a blink of an eye.

"How many years, I, Liu Bei, finally waited for a God-given opportunity, Su Zhe, I still have to thank you, hahaha-"

Liu Bei, who was as excited, couldn't hold back his excitement and laughed wildly.

When the soldiers outside heard Liu Bei's laughter, they were all puzzled, and they couldn't figure out why their lord was still in tears one moment ago, crying to death, and laughing the next moment.

"General Chen, the lord seems to be laughing, wouldn't the lord be too sad and crying?" A lieutenant asked in surprise.

"You're in the wrong head!" Chen Zhi slapped him on the skull, but his eyes were equally suspicious, and his ears approached the door to listen.

By this time, the laughter in the room had come to an abrupt end.

Liu Bei had already pressed his mouth with his hand, glanced at the closed door, and complained secretly: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, how can you get carried away, now is not the time for you to laugh!" ”

He stopped laughing, but grabbed the flask on the table, tilted his head and poured it wildly.

All the joy and excitement is in this wine.

……

Five days later, a grand memorial ceremony was held in the southern suburbs of Chang'an.

On the altar, Liu Bei was in tears as usual, sad and angry, lying in front of Liu Xie's spiritual position and crying endlessly, crying sadly.

The kneeling officials on the altar were all moved by Liu Bei's true feelings, and they also burst into tears and wept bitterly.

The officials infected by Liu Bei, while worshipping Liu Xie, scolded Su Zhe one after another, shouting that they would follow Liu Bei, destroy Su Zhe, and avenge Liu Xie.

Seeing that the emotions of the officials were mobilized, Liu Bei immediately raised his fist and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured in the spirit of heaven, I, Liu Bei, will one day, I will definitely regain the lost land, cut off the head of the Su thief with my own hands, and dedicate it to your spirit to comfort you in the spirit of the heavenly hero." ”

Liu Bei's voice fell, Zhuge Liang jumped up, and said with a straight face: "Although the first emperor was killed, but the orthodoxy of the Liu family must not be broken, please take the great cause of Zhongxing Han as the priority, and carry the throne as the emperor, so as to call on the benevolent and righteous people in the world to destroy the Su thief and avenge the first emperor!" ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang took the lead, the officials kneeling on the altar were immediately excited, and once again set off a trend of persuasion.

"Please take the throne as the emperor and inherit the unification!"

"Only when the lord ascends the throne and becomes the emperor can he lead us and others to crusade against the Su thieves in a justifiable manner!"

"The lord succeeds to the throne as the emperor, but it is in accordance with the mandate of heaven, please don't want to resign!"

For a time, the civil and military officials on the altar rose up one after another to admonish, once again setting off a wave of persuasion.

Liu Bei almost agreed.

But soon, reason overwhelmed the urge to be emperor, and Liu Bei once again politely declined the persuasion of the officials, claiming that he had no heart to talk about becoming the emperor now, and just wanted to guard the tomb for the first emperor with peace of mind.

So, in the next ten days, Liu Bei simply moved the cover roll to the mourning hall, and ate and slept with Liu Xie's spiritual seat every day, and this mausoleum was guarded for more than ten days.

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was still in a hurry, which damaged his reputation of benevolence and righteousness, and he thought that this play was not enough.

After all, this worship ceremony has just ended, and if Liu Bei is proclaimed emperor immediately, it is inevitable that people will gossip.

Zhuge Liang comprehended Liu Bei's thoughts, and as soon as the worship ceremony was over, he instructed the magistrates of various states to continue to keep on the table and use public opinion to "press" Liu Bei.

So, Zhang Fei, who guarded Liangzhou, and Guan Yu, who guarded Yizhou, on behalf of the people of various states, presented a book of ten thousand people to Liu Beijin, saying that the people of this state were crying and dying, and thousands of people knelt in front of the state capital and refused to leave, asking them to be on the table and ask Liu Bei to ascend the throne and be the emperor.

Before you know it, it's been a month since the worship ceremony.

Liu Bei, who was physically and mentally exhausted and didn't want to eat, finally returned to Chang'an City from the mourning hall outside the city.

When Liu Bei walked into the city gate, the ministers led by Zhuge Liang were already kneeling in front of the city gate, and the long streets were also full of Chang'an people.

Zhuge Liang signed the persuasion letter signed by the civil and military officials of the three states, held it high in front of Liu Bei, and cried: "I implore the lord to make a living for the people of the world, ascend the throne and become the emperor, and inherit the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Military advisor, you, this ......" Liu Bei looked at the kneeling officials and people, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do.

"If the lord refuses to ascend to the throne as the emperor, I will not be able to kneel until the day the lord agrees!"

Zhuge Liang's tone was resolute and bowed deeply.

The soldiers and civilians all bowed to the ground on the street, and Liu Bei did not agree, so he knelt down to the old posture of the desolate land.

The drama is all played on this, what reason does Liu Bei have to be hypocritical anymore.

He let out a long sigh and waved his hand bitterly and helplessly: "That's it, you all get up, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the Han Society, I Liu Bei have to reluctantly make it difficult to be the emperor for the time being." ”
