"Now people with different surnames have ascended the throne as emperors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info eldest brother is a member of the Han family, and now he has occupied most of the world, if he does not ascend the throne as the emperor again, I am afraid that it will chill everyone's hearts! My brother didn't want to be an official anymore, so he went back to his hometown in Zhuo County to kill pigs! ”

Among the civil and military officials, only Zhang Fei's loud voice could be heard roaring urgently. Zhang Fei's words basically spoke everyone's minds. Now that Cao Pi has been proclaimed emperor, if Liu Bei doesn't give more effort, it will be too boring.

In fact, in the hearts of everyone, it is important to inherit or not inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family, but their own vital interests are even more important. Once Liu Bei is proclaimed emperor, these courtiers can also follow the officials and become knights, which will benefit greatly. At this time, unless the brain is in water, who will not be able to get along with their own vital interests?

"The third brother is talking nonsense!" Liu Bei frowned when he heard this, Liu Bei frowned at this time, and his expression was more aggrieved. People who don't know still think that Zhang Fei is forcing him to do something unreasonable. Seeing that Zhang Fei's shouting had no effect, at this time it was the turn of the real fool master to come out, and at that moment Zhuge Liang cleared his throat and said: "My lord, now that Cao Pi has usurped the throne, the orthodoxy of the Han family has been interrupted. If the lord does not succeed to the throne as emperor and continue the orthodoxy, I am afraid that in a few years, the orthodoxy of the Han family will be forgotten. In this case, how can the Han family be restored? ”

Zhuge Liang's words, even if they are relatively level, combine Liu Bei's title as emperor with his goal of life. The implication is that if you want to restore the Han family, you Liu Bei must be called the emperor, and everyone nodded yes, and then Lu Su also spoke: "Lord, now Cao Pi has been called the emperor, if the lord is not called the emperor, only the identity of the prince of the previous dynasty and the relationship with him, in the eyes of the world, it is just a war between countries." In other words, it is to acquiesce in the current Hebei puppet court, and regard the Han Dynasty as the previous dynasty. In the long run, it will be very detrimental to stabilizing the morale of the army and the people! ”

Zhuge Liang and Lu Su gave full play to their long-term political vision, and analyzed the political significance of Liu Bei's title to emperor at this time from all aspects. But Liu Bei listened to the words of the two of them, but he still couldn't let go of any knots, he just sighed and said: "Although what Zijing and Kong Ming said is reasonable, Bei has devoted his life to restoring the Han family, but not to be the emperor himself. Everyone, be prepared to receive this! After speaking, he shook his head again and again, his expression was extremely listless, "Lord, in the past, Guangwu was also made up of cloth clothes, and finally sat in the world." And Gao Zu was also a pavilion chief next to Surabaya, and finally became the Ninth Five-Year Honor. The lord is like one of the thirteen states today, and has occupied the land of ten states, and at this time he is called the emperor, which is the so-called conformity to the will of heaven and the favor of the people, but it is expected by the public, and the lord does not need to shirk! "If you can't talk about politics, you can talk about history, after Zhuge Liang and Lusu, there is also Sun Gan, a well-educated person, who is not afraid to say that you Liu Bei will not move.

I didn't want Liu Bei to hear this, but he still sighed and said: "How can you be prepared, how dare you arrogant to be the emperor?" This matter has to be said again, prepare for the first recovery from a serious illness, and the body is not very good, so let's stop the matter today! After speaking, he ignored everyone's consternation, and ran away directly, leaving everyone looking at each other.

"The eldest brother refuses to be the emperor, this, how is this good?" After a while, Zhang Fei asked, everyone didn't expect that Liu Bei was so uninterested in being the emperor, which was really unexpected. At this time, it was Zhuge Liang who spoke: "Everyone, if the lord does not become the emperor now, it is really unconvincing. In this way, we can no longer give advice together like this, and after you go back, you can contact your relatives and friends to give advice many times. The lord has always been as good as a stream, and as long as he thinks about it, he will definitely agree in the end! ”

"That's it!" Everyone nodded one after another, now the key is to build momentum, after everyone dispersed, they returned to their respective homes, wrote letters to contact relatives and friends in various parts of the ten states, local officials, clan leaders, and jointly persuaded Liu Bei to become emperor.

So a few days later, Zhao Feng of Chengdu was checking the tax situation this year, and at this time, the doorman came to report, saying that Mi Wei, the commander of the cavalry, had something important to see.

"Jianwu, what's the matter?" Zhao Feng guessed a little about Mi Wei's intention, but still asked.

"General, this is a letter from my father, please take a look at it!" Mi Wei handed a letter to Zhao Feng, who opened it and looked at it, and the letter said that he wanted him to build momentum in Chengdu and contribute to Liu Bei's proclamation as emperor.

"It seems that you and I will be promoted soon!" Zhao Feng closed the letter and smiled. In fact, since learning that Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, Zhao Feng understood that Liu Bei's claim to be emperor was also a matter of course. It's just that Lao Liu has a better face, and his face is not as thick as Cao Pi. If you want him to be emperor, you still need to do enough work.

So in the next month, the persuasion documents from all over the place were sent to Chang'an like snowflakes. Various feudal officials, clan leaders, and well-educated people have come to the table to persuade Liu Bei to become emperor and continue the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.

Yangzhou Mu Zhang Zhao, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Xu Shu, united dozens of Qingliu celebrities in the two states, and jointly played to persuade Liu Bei to become emperor; Jingzhou Mu Guan Yu, reported to Liu Bei, claiming that there was a unicorn in the land of Xiangyang, and the people rushed to watch; Li Yan, the assassin of Yanzhou, also has a table performance, saying that above the Yellow River, there is a yellow dragon looming; Zhang Liao, the history of Yuzhou Thorn, said that there are five-colored auspicious clouds that appear in the land of Runan, which is majestic and magnificent, and it is amazing; Later, even the remote Liangzhou Thorn Shi Ma Chao, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Wei Yan, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Wu Ju and Yizhou Mu Zhao Feng also made statements, claiming that there were all kinds of auspicious signs under their rule, and all kinds of signs showed that Liu Bei should definitely be enthroned as emperor and inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family.

In fact, Shenma Xiangrui, the divine beast, and people with a little brain will not believe in this kind of mysterious thing. But there is no way, in order to show that you Liu Bei is expected to be the emperor, these superficial articles still have to be done, after all, this kind of thing is still very appealing to those who don't know the truth.

So, after playing in various places for more than a month, Liu Bei finally relented and promised to conform to the will of heaven and people, and ascend the throne as the emperor to inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family. After divination through Zhuge Liang and Zhou Zhou, Liu Bei chose a day in the middle of winter, built altars outside Chang'an City, and then officially ascended the throne as emperor.

On this day, although the winter is cold and windy, the weather is sunny and sunny. Early in the morning, Liu Bei took a car out of the south gate of Chang'an City and went to the altar of worship more than 20 miles south of the city, preparing to officially claim the title of emperor.

Although he has been called the Duke of Guo before, the King of Chu or something, it is not the first time to ascend the altar to receive Zen. But now that it is his turn to ascend the throne as emperor, Liu Bei still can't help but shake his heart. He has always been calm, but he almost used all his strength to keep himself as calm as ever.

The carriage and horse went all the way, looking at the crowd on the side of the road, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. is over half a hundred years old, and his sideburns are gray, but he has been able to become the most powerful person in the world. Although the country has not yet been unified, it also means that it can be waited. Starting from the conquest of the Yellow Turban, decades of struggle have finally had a result.

He remembered that when he was young, he played under the big mulberry tree in front of the village, looked at the tall mulberry tree, and said the first bold words of his life to his friends: "If I am the emperor in the future, I should take this car cover!" ”

He remembered the years of studying in Luoyang, although he was taught by a generation of great Confucian Lu Zhi, but he had always suffered from white eyes and discrimination because of his humble background. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, the fourth and third dukes, where are these once prominent and famous families now?

He remembered that when the yellow scarves were everywhere, he and his two brothers recruited villagers to defend their families and the country with their enthusiasm. Although he has won fame by fighting everywhere, compared to the rich second generation who can sit back and enjoy his success, his struggle is so lonely. In the end, a lot of credit was only exchanged for a small county lieutenant, and because he couldn't help beating the postal supervisor who came to blackmail, he didn't even take this petty official properly.

He remembered again that when he wanted to live this life so plainly, he was caught up in this chaotic world from Pingyuan County to Xuzhou by coincidence. After more than 20 years of conquest, we are now only one step away from success. The notoriety of "weaving mats and selling shoes", which was once inseparable from himself, will also come to naught with all this.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, now you have finally come to this point. Where are the people who once despised you and despised you? Looking at the altar that was close at hand, Liu Bei's heart became more and more excited. Although the winter sun was not too dazzling, he still felt a burst of heat all over his body.

"Please Your Majesty ascend the altar and thank heaven and earth!" Lu Su and Zhang Fei, as the heads of the military generals of Wenchen, have been waiting under the altar for a long time. Seeing Liu Bei coming, the two hurriedly bowed down and asked Liu Bei to come to the altar. Surrounded by these two people, Liu Bei walked briskly on the altar and was sealed. During the whole sacrificial ceremony, God was very face-saving, the weather was very good, not to mention the rain, and even the wind was not too big. Liu Bei followed the steps, ascended the altar and was enthroned, and finally became a reasonable emperor in the legal sense. And with his title of emperor, and the previous title of emperor of Cao Pi, two emperors appeared in the land of China for a while, and the heroes rose together, and they also became the opposition between the two countries.

After ascending the altar and receiving the seal, Liu Bei immediately ordered that Liu Feng, the former prince of the king, was named the crown prince, and his mother Mrs. Mi was appointed as the queen of the main palace, and the rest of the princes and princesses should be rewarded. At the same time, it was ordered that the world be amnesty, and the land of the ten states was exempted from taxes for half a year, and Guanzhong, which had just experienced the war, was exempted from taxes for two whole years. When the news came, the people cheered.

What no one knew was that on the night of his accession to the throne as emperor, Liu Bei, the freshly baked Zhaolie Emperor, did not sleep until late at night in his palace, but sat on the throne, racking his brains in front of a list on the table.

"It's hard, it's hard!" Liu Bei put down his pen for a while, shook his head and sighed. At this moment, Queen Mi and Concubine Bu came over with a tea tray.

"Your Majesty, the night is already deep, and today is the day sacrifice ceremony is tired again, so let's rest early!" Queen Mi brought a cup of ginseng tea to Liu Bei, Liu Bei took a sip, looked at the two ladies who had been with him for more than ten years, and said with a wry smile: "The ministers are waiting for tomorrow, it is my list, how can I not prepare it earlier?" ”

"What is this?" Mrs. Mi glanced at it and couldn't help but snort softly. A personal name was written on the list, and an official position was written, and there were already a lot of smudges on it. It can be seen that Liu Bei has racked his brains for this list.
