Chapter 638: Preparing for the Ceremony

The old soldier, who was called Brother Sun, stepped forward, smiled honestly, and said, "Pioneer Officer He, I will take care of you in the future." ”

For the first time in his life, He Bushun scratched his head a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Brother Sun, I will listen to you in the future, let's ...... We brothers take care of each other. ”

Liu He suddenly laughed, walked to the door, opened the curtain and walked out.

He Bushun was a little confused, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Sun, what's wrong with him?" ”

Brother Sun thought for a while and said, "I can't say it well, I guess it's because of your words." ”

"What did I say?" He Bushun was even more puzzled, "What do I say?" ”

Brother Sun smiled innocently, "It's probably that, take care of each other." ”

He Bushun was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked to the door, and opened the curtain.

He didn't look at the figure that was fading away, but squinted at the sun in the sky and smiled like a child.

Just when Liu He's second southern expedition was ready, Zhuge Liang, who was seriously ill, stood up and stopped the dispatch of troops.

Zhuge Liang believes that behind Cao Pi's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor, he must have privately reached some kind of agreement with all the forces in the court, so he was supported, otherwise Cao Pi's catties and taels would not be enough to cover the sky in the north like Cao Cao.

These forces deeply rooted in the court of Wei are naturally the major families behind the civil and military officials, and the first battle before has caused Wei to lose a lot of territory, and the major families will never watch this situation continue.

For them, although the Wei State belongs to the Cao family, but there are many benefits underneath, but they really fall into their own pockets, if they don't put a little pressure on Cao Pi at this time, I'm afraid that the benefits they originally held in the palm of their hands will also be eaten away little by little.

According to Zhuge Liang's judgment, the major families will definitely instigate Cao Pi behind his back and let him tear up the battle agreement, because only in this way can the major families make a lot of money in the war, and the Wei State, which has the most solid family foundation, can also return to the status of the overlord of the world.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang believes that the immediate priority is to immediately elect a monarch in Shu, at least on an equal footing with Wei in terms of title.

Don't underestimate this title, although Yizhou Mu was originally the soil emperor of Yizhou, but after all, there is still one more soil word in the front.

Following a loyal minister left by a previous dynasty or following a founding monarch are also two absolutely different outcomes for recruiting talents.

Although he was worried about the riots in southern Xinjiang, Liu He also knew that the matter of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor could not be delayed any longer, and if it was delayed any longer, not to mention the officials of Shudi, even those students in the Moling School Palace would run to the Wei side one after another.

Besides, Zhuge Liang was sick and still thinking about this matter so much, Liu He didn't want him to work too hard, so he finally decided to put the matter of the Southern Expedition aside for a while, and wait for Liu Bei to ascend the throne and stabilize the situation in Yizhou before making plans.

During the period of preparation for the enthronement ceremony, the Tianji camp was very busy.

Needless to say, Wei Xiao has to handle all the big and small affairs by himself, and he has to dispatch them in all links, so he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep.

Everything used in the ceremony was purchased by Qian Zhuan, and dozens of bamboo slips could be written in a day's ledger.

The rest of the people were basically transferred by Liu He to be in charge of the garrison of Chengdu and the surrounding areas, especially the four gates of Chengdu City, which had to be checked in and out, and not a single suspicious character could be let go.

As for Liu He's two entourages, Guo Qing and Fajie, they are even more responsible.

Guo Qing has already taken all the top spies to search for the spies sent by the Wei State in Chengdu, in case these people run out to stir up the situation when the ceremony is held.

And Fajie was sent by Liu He to protect the safety of the fake Liu Bei, and even when the fake Liu Bei went to the thatched house, he couldn't leave Fajie's sight.

Everyone understood what the upcoming enthronement ceremony meant, so even Chen Mo changed his lazy style in the past, and conscientiously led a group of soldiers to patrol the city every day.

But the busiest person is not Chen Mo and them, but the little black fat man who is responsible for teaching Liu Bei the process of ascending the throne.

Since the beginning of preparation, more than ten days have passed, and the little black fat man has never left the Yizhou Pastoral Mansion for a single step.

It's really difficult for that fake Liu Bei, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, the rest of the time is practiced, every step to be carried out on the ceremony.

In fact, according to his conscience, the fake Liu Bei has done quite well, but the little black fat man always feels that something is missing, but he can't say what is missing.

Liu He once came to visit halfway, and when he heard the little black fat man talk about it, Liu He didn't even think about it, so he threw down a sentence, it must be missing a king's spirit.

The little black fat man thought about it for a whole night, and finally figured out how could an imposter who was scolded by himself every day have the royal temperament of a generation of emperors, so he had to give up, and it was no longer difficult to fake Liu Bei.

The Tianji Battalion worked together, and finally it was not in vain, and the enthronement ceremony was completed as scheduled.

Tomorrow is the day of the enthronement ceremony, and success or failure will be decided here.

The night in Chengdu is still as quiet and serene as ever.

It's as if the city doesn't care, and tomorrow an emperor will be born here, as if it has witnessed thousands of years of changes, but it is still majestic.

"What? Can't sleep? Zhuge Liang quietly walked to Liu He's side and said with a smile.

"Your illness hasn't healed yet, why did you come here at night?" Liu He complained, but he still took off his coat and draped it on Zhuge Liang's body.

Zhuge Liang didn't shirk, waved his hand, and said softly: "My illness is no longer serious, but like you, I can't sleep, no, I came to you." ”

Liu He smiled knowingly, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said, "Do you remember that on the first night we left from Wollongong, the two of us took the finches, just like now, to watch the moon together for one night. ”

Zhuge Liang said in a calm tone: "The moon is still like that, it hasn't changed at all, but it's a pity that things are no longer human." ”

Liu He frowned slightly and said with a smile: "You won't be homesick, right?" ”

"Don't you want to?" Zhuge Liang looked at the sky and asked without looking back.

"I can't even remember what home looks like." A hint of gloom flashed in Liu He's eyes.

"Didn't you tell me that you have to go back sooner or later, so ah, don't worry, don't worry."

Liu He looked Zhuge Liang up and down, frowned, and scolded with a smile: "Can you not keep holding your broken fan and fanning it endlessly, are you hot on this cold day?" ”
