Three days after ———, Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao, Pang Tong and other important ministers entered the palace together, with only one purpose, that is, to persuade the Son of Heaven to establish the king of Chu as the crown prince as soon as possible.

Originally, the emperor's marriage to Liu Tai and Zhang Fei's eldest daughter can be said to have made it clear that the emperor is ready to make the king of Chu the heir. However, because of Liu Bei's physical problems, Zhuge Liang was worried that he might go suddenly at any time, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he should establish the unification as soon as possible.

Therefore, under the leadership of Fang Shao, more than a dozen important ministers of the Jingzhou department went to the palace together, whether it was persuasion or coercion, they had to urge Liu Bei to establish an heir as soon as possible.

However, when the ministers arrived in the palace, after seeing Liu Bei, they were all stunned.

The reason is very simple, Liu Bei's condition suddenly deteriorated last night, and by the time he got to this day and tomorrow, he was already so sick that he was delirious and dying. The imperial doctors tried all kinds of methods, but they couldn't stabilize Liu Bei's body, that is to say, Liu Bei's limit seemed to have arrived.

Seeing this situation, the ministers were a little panicked, not that they were afraid that Liu Bei would go, but that Liu Bei had not yet established the crown prince, if he went like this, wouldn't it be more serious than the unconscious of Cao Ying of Wei back then.

"Don't panic, and wait a moment."

Zhuge Liang pacified everyone, walked to the royal couch alone, knelt down in Liu Bei's ear, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Bei, who was dazed and delirious, seemed to be awakened by Zhuge Liang's words in an instant, his sluggish expression suddenly shook, and a little essence was released in his eyes.

"The ...... of the Advisor"

Liu Bei opened his mouth to say this, which surprised Zhuge Liang and was a little surprised, because his title as a military advisor was only available in his early years, since Liu Bei became emperor, he was promoted to prime minister, and Liu Bei had already changed his title.

It's just that Liu Bei suddenly called himself a military advisor again, could it be that Liu Bei was confused, and his memory was already unclear?

"Your Majesty, is your dragon body better?" Zhuge Liang asked with surprise.

Liu Bei shook his head and muttered: "Military advisor, my limit is approaching, I just hope that after I go, you can assist your young son as you assist me, and carry on the business of supporting the Han family." ”

Liu Bei's words made Zhuge Liang's heart sour, and he had to be relieved: "How can Your Majesty say such unlucky words, Your Majesty has the protection of God, and the dragon body will definitely get better." ”

Liu Bei's expression gradually became confused again, and he didn't care what Zhuge Liang said, he just continued to take care of himself: "Military advisor, the so-called dying of people, his words are also good, and what he says now is from the bottom of his heart. To tell the truth, I am sincerely grateful to you, if there is no military advisor to you, and there is no me Liu Bei's today, among the ministers, I trust you the most, I hope that the military advisor will remember you and my friendship, and can assist the young son well, then I will be able to rest in peace in the spirit of heaven. ”

What people are most afraid of is nostalgia, Liu Bei is so nostalgic, Zhuge Liang's feelings are a little uncontrollable, as if he has returned to the past years in an instant, recalling the bits and pieces of various entrepreneurship in the past, and the emotion is spontaneous.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly Liu Bei seemed to have been hit hard in the chest, his breath was suffocated, and the whole person couldn't help but gasp, and he coughed and coughed, until he vomited blood.

Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.

At this time, that Pang Tong quietly came to Zhuge Liang's side and said in a low voice: "Kong Ming, Your Majesty is afraid that it will not work, hurry up and urge Your Majesty to write a testament to establish the King of Chu as the prince." ”

For Liu Bei's sad performance, at this moment, even Fang Shao was a little moved, but Pang Tong did not have the slightest pity, he maintained a high degree of composure, and did not forget to remind Zhuge Liang, who was slightly distracted.

After Pang Tong's reminder, Zhuge Liang remembered something important, and hurriedly fell into Liu Bei's ear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you haven't established a prince yet, but who is your assistant Liang?" ”

At this time, Liu Bei was already coughing insincerely, and vaguely heard Zhuge Liang's words, so he held on to his last strength, stretched his neck and said, "Stand ...... Stand...... ...... immediately"

He only kept repeating a "Li" in his mouth, obviously he wanted to say who was the prince, but the last few words were impossible to export, and the ministers present were so anxious that they couldn't say it for Liu Bei.

"Stand ...... ...... immediately"

Suddenly, it seemed that all the discomfort in his body had disappeared, and he had never felt so happy after being tortured by illness for a long time.

Through the long river of those years, he seemed to see the past.

He saw the scene of children crowding around him to play the emperor's game under the big locust tree. I saw the scene of being high-spirited and studying under the seat of the Great Rulu. Seeing the three brothers, I was happy to talk about it. I saw the pain of wandering around, looking for a foothold.

It seems that the fire in Chibi, the beauty of Chengdu, and the high-spirited Hanzhong have seen the world.

Familiar and unfamiliar faces, drifting in front of their eyes, former enemies, former friends, once loved people, once hated people, now, they are all smiling and waving to themselves.

Xuande, return, return...... A low call sounded in his ears, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hands, and those countless hands grasped him tightly, and then, he felt his body float up like a cloud, floating into the sky, floating into the dazzling and soft white light.

The moment before merging into the pure white light, he glanced back, and there seemed to be a little regret in his eyes, and then that look, along with his body, disappeared.

The face full of vicissitudes suddenly crooked.

In an instant, Zhuge Liang's face was as white as paper, he breathed rapidly, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and tried it between Liu Bei's nose.

Then, like a statue, he froze there for a long time before he sighed and said weakly, "Your Majesty has died." ”

The words were like thunder, striking everyone's eardrums, and after a moment of froze, everyone fell to the ground, and the wailing and crying were everywhere.

In the summer of that year, the Han Emperor Liu Bei died of illness.

The news of the emperor's death spread quickly, and all the kings and officials wore linen and filial piety, and the city of Chang'an was all plain white.

Liu Bei's death, in fact, has long been expected by everyone, the moment he died, although Zhuge Liang and others were slightly shocked, but then, they quickly took measures to stabilize the hearts of the people in Chang'an.

Zhuge Liang and others went to see Liu Bei that day, originally wanting to urge Liu Bei to establish the king of Chu as the crown prince, but what no one expected was that Liu Bei died of illness on the same day, and he did not leave a will.

This means that the position of the heir to the throne of the Han Dynasty is temporarily in a vacuum, and there is no one who is the legal heir.

The throne vacuum, which is obviously extremely detrimental to the rule and stability of the empire, so, after Zhuge Liang and other important ministers discussed privately, they all went to the table, saying that they would support Liu Tai, the king of Chu, as the new emperor.

Che cavalry general Zhang Fei was the first to express his support for Liu Tai, which is no wonder, firstly, Liu Tai is his nephew, and secondly, the emperor first married the Zhang family, as the future abbot, how can Zhang Fei not support his son-in-law.

The rest of Zhuge Liang, Fang Shao, Pang Tong and other important ministers of the Jingzhou dynasty all expressed their support for the king of Chu. As soon as the leaders of the court expressed their position, those local officials also came to the table one after another to support the succession of the king of Chu.

Because of the death of Fa Zheng and the failure of the Huang and Wu mutinies, the Qin Yi system was hit hard, and there was basically no spokesperson in the central court, so there was not much opposition in Chang'an City, so those foreign Qin Yi officials naturally did not dare to speak up.

Even Ma Chao, who was guarding Youzhou, although he had a male soldier in his hand and was a hussar general, could only keep his mouth shut in this situation.

Although on the surface, Liu Tai's succession to the throne has been supported by most people, but Zhuge Liang and they did not dare to support Liu Tai to succeed to the throne immediately, because they were still waiting for the support of another heavyweight.

………… Jingzhou, Xiangyang, General's Mansion.

Guan Yumu sat stunned, holding the letter sent by the court about the emperor's death in his hand, his face had never been so depressed, and the beautiful bearded prince who had once shocked China was a little desolate and sad at this moment.

"Go, brother went like this......"

He muttered to himself, and there were tears rolling in his eyes, obviously, Liu Bei's death was a heavy blow to him, and Guan Yu was suffering from the grief of bereavement at this moment.

Although Liu Bei said goodbye to Shu and never saw each other for more than ten years, the simple brotherhood has never changed in Guan Yu's view.

In Guan Yu's eyes, although Liu Bei is a king, in his heart, he will always be just a brother.

It's just that his most trusted and respected brother hurt his heart before he died.

What made Guan Yu feel a little chilled was Liu Bei's edict of marriage, if there was no such edict, Guan Yu might have hugged his head and cried at the moment, and his sadness could not be discounted like now.

"Brother, you and I have been brothers all my life, why didn't you believe me at the last moment?" Guan Yu gritted his teeth and cried, his eyebrows were angry, sad, and lost, and all kinds of complex emotions were written all over that red face.

At this moment, someone entered, Guan Yu quickly wiped away the tears in his eyes, and quickly regained his solemn state.

"The general, the ministers of the government and the opposition, all wrote to support the king of Chu as the new emperor, it seems that the prime minister really didn't take the general in his eyes."

The person who spoke was Peng Yi.

When this person was in Shuzhong, because of his arrogance and frivolity, Liu Bei did not like it, so he was engaged in degrading to Jiangyang Taishou from the governance, and later transferred to Jingzhou, but he was quite appreciated by Guan Yu, and since Guan Yu was named a general, it has become the long history of the general's mansion.

Hearing Peng Yi's words, Guan Yu's face sank and asked, "How can you say this?" ”

Peng Yi sneered: "The general and the first emperor are like brothers, equal to His Majesty's relatives, this is one of them. The general is the head of the military attaché and the important minister of the country, this is the second. The general sits in Jingzhou, which is the barrier of the country, and this is the third. With these three points, it is enough to prove that the general is the most important courtier of the Han Kingdom, and for such an important matter as supporting the new emperor, Prime Minister Zhuge and they don't bother to discuss it with the general, and now they are good at making decisions, general, isn't this not a disregard for you? ”

After hearing Peng Yi's words, Guan Yu's face suddenly showed a touch of anger.
