Wei Yan and Wu Yi are both veterans of the unified army for many years, and the reorganization and surrender of the army is not a troublesome matter for the two of them. The status of these two people is not low, Zhao Shu naturally wants to set up a banquet to entertain him, and gather all the generals in the city to the general's mansion to catch the wind for the two of them.

Fat pigs and whole sheep, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and everyone drinks happily. When the wine was half-drunk, suddenly a family general ran in, and someone in the palace came to visit. Zhao Shu hurriedly ordered someone to be invited in, it was Huang Hao, who was a close attendant by Liu Bei's side, but his face was very anxious, and tears still existed in the corners of his eyes. Seeing him like this, all the generals in the audience couldn't help but hold their breath, and temporarily put down their cups, all of them were surprised.

Zhao Shu also pretended to be flustered and asked urgently: "Why does my father-in-law look like this?" Could it be that there is something wrong in the palace? Huang Hao cried and bowed to the ground, and hissed: "Your Majesty was just taking a walk, and suddenly fainted and fell unconscious, please enter the palace as soon as possible." ”

"Shengping." Zhao Shu hurriedly turned his head to Yan Peng and said, "You can quickly follow Gonggong Huang into the palace to inspect His Majesty's condition, and I and the generals will arrive later." Yan Peng got up and clenched his fists, and went out with Huang Hao, and Huang Hao's shrill and ugly cry could be heard from a distance.

After the two left, the generals in the hall whispered to each other, and there was a mess. Zhao Shu raised his hand slowly and said, "Princes, don't panic, Your Majesty has been sick for a long time, and occasional fainting is also a common thing, please follow me into the palace to visit." Then he ordered Huan Yi to say: "This matter must not be leaked for the time being, so as not to let someone take the opportunity to make trouble, the general will lead the troops to strictly guard the four gates, and allocate three thousand armor soldiers to guard the palace." ”

Huan Yi also hurried down, and the generals looked at Zhao Shu together, in fact, for Wei Yan, Zhang Wei and others, it didn't matter whether Liu Bei died or not, so he seemed the most calm; Kong Ming's subordinate general, Li Hui and others, were indeed a little panicked, if the dynasty was changed, who could guarantee their safety? And Wu Yi and Wu Bandu, although they are attached to Zhao Shu, they are not confidants, they are also Liu Bei's relatives, and they are naturally more concerned about Liu Bei's life and death, and they are also afraid of affecting themselves. Everyone's faces were different, but Zhao Shu was calm, walked up to Wu Yi, and said: "The general is a relative of the country, and he should enter the palace to preside over the overall situation." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wu Yi hurriedly and humbly, and said: "The last general is only a little virtuous, how can he take on this great responsibility?" The general is the commander of the three armies, and His Majesty has always relied on it, and he must not shirk it. Zhao Shu gave in again, and said: "Although I am the main general, I am not as noble as the general." All matters should be presided over by the general, and it is hoped that the general will work tirelessly. "Hit the ground again. Wu Yi was helpless, so he had to nod his head in agreement, but he still couldn't stop saying: "Everything still needs to be mentioned by the general." So all the generals went out of the house together and came to Liu Bei's palace.

In front of the palace, Huan Yi was already waiting by the side, and there were many more guards on the left and right than usual, with bright clothes and armor, and flashing weapons. Everyone seemed to notice that the atmosphere was different from the past, and the Wu Yi brothers' faces became more and more frightened, and beads of sweat continued to ooze from their foreheads, dripping down their chests. I opened my mouth to ask about the situation in the palace, and Huan Yi replied: "Lord Yan is already treating His Majesty, and there is no news yet." ”

Zhao Shu turned to Wu Yi again and said, "General, please go inside to visit first." Wu Yi hurriedly shook his head again and said, "It's still the general, please." Zhao Shu replied: "We are all foreign ministers, and it is inconvenient for Yu Li, so it is suitable for generals." Wu Yi looked at Zhao Shu's face and knew that he still couldn't refuse, so he had to say, "Generals, wait a minute." And he went in with his brother.

Today's matter was deliberately arranged by Zhao Shu, Liu Bei's limit has come, and he should be satisfied after living for sixty-three years. When Kong Ming failed, it should have been the day of Liu Bei's death, but anyone with a bit of brains would think of today, and they would also associate Zhao Shu and Liu Bei's death. But even so, on the surface, Zhao Shu still had to dissociate himself from him. Looking around at everyone present, Zhao Shu thought that not many people should care about Liu Bei's death, and they should be more concerned about their own lives and futures.

After standing at the palace gate for about half an hour, he finally watched Huang Hao come out crying and shouted, "Your Majesty has died." Suddenly, he knelt on the ground, and they all cried bitterly with him, and Zhao Shu couldn't help but squeeze out two tears. After crying for a while, Huang Hao stepped forward to help me up and said, "General Wu invites your Excellency to come in to preside over the funeral." Zhao Shu wiped away his tears, nodded and led the generals inside.

There was already a cry in the palace, as the emperor died, whether it was a faint monarch or a tyrant; is still a Ming Jun, a Holy Monarch, there will always be many people crying. Even if someone is crazy with joy in their hearts, they will not show it in the slightest, they can only cry bitterly, Huang Hao is the most direct person who murdered Liu Bei, and now he is also crying the saddest. Liu Bei's bedroom has been replaced with a white tent, and the candles have also been replaced with plain colors, but Liu Yong and Liu Li have not yet changed into filial piety clothes, and they must have not been rushed out, kneeling in front of Liu Bei's body and crying bitterly, thinking that there are only the tears of these two people or the most sincere.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Shu walked quickly to Liu Bei's bed, cried to the ground, and kept saying, "Your Majesty! The business is not halfway through, the thieves have not been eliminated, and the world is undecided, how can you abandon the ministers and others? After Your Majesty goes, how can you ask your ministers to wait? When Zhao Shu was crying vigorously, he suddenly heard someone next to him shouting: "It's you, the thief, who plotted to kill my father." Father and emperor walk slowly, and the son will avenge you immediately. Then I heard Wu Yi shouting: "Your Highness can't, absolutely not." ”

Zhao Shu turned his eyes and saw that Liu Yong was snatching the sword from Wu Yi's waist. How dare Wu Yi let him snatch it? Hurriedly reached out to hug it and kept comforting. Liu Yongzhong is young and weak, how can he compare with Wu Yi's strength? After being hugged by him, although he kept saying some cruel words, he couldn't move at all.

Yan Peng hurriedly stepped forward to catch Liu Yong's pulse and said, "Your Highness is so sad that you are delirious, you can retreat and rest for a few days, and you can recover." ”

"Phew." Liu Yong shook off Yan Peng's palm vigorously and scolded: "You and Zhao Shu are in cahooty, and your father and emperor mostly died in your hands." Zhao Shu saw that the more he scolded, the more disagreeable he became, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and ordered Huang Hao to take a few attendants to pull him down. After he made such a fuss, everyone present stopped crying, but they didn't dare to speak nonsense, and they all looked down at the bricks of the palace on the ground.

Zhao Shu looked at everyone's expressions and thought to himself, he had to put on a show again. He immediately leaned down and knelt down in front of Liu Bei's bed, crying: "Weichen has followed Your Majesty for more than ten years, doing his best, and I only hope to assist Your Majesty in achieving great causes." I don't want Your Majesty to just pass away, Your Highness will suspect that Weichen is attentive, so it is better to go with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is slow, and Weichen is here. As he spoke, he slammed a few times on the dragon bed.

Zhao Shu originally thought that it was not very painful, and he didn't want the wood to be hard, so he felt a little dizzy after only two strokes. Fortunately, Yan Peng, Wu Yi and others stepped forward to pull Zhao Shu up and persuaded him bitterly. Zhao Shu looked back at everyone, only to see Wei Yan get up suddenly, press his sword and say sharply: "General Zhao has no ambition for the country and the people. His Royal Highness King Lu is delirious and talking nonsense, and the monarchs must not be trusted, let alone spread rumors. If there is any more such words, he will not be forgiven. ”

The people present were either Zhao Shu's old Jingxiang subordinates, or Kong Ming's original subordinates, even if some of the original Chen Dao and Wu Yi's subordinates, how many of them would be loyal to Liu Bei and not care about their own lives? Besides, who can come up with evidence, how can this great crime of killing kings be said nonsense? It was Liu Yong who spoke just now, Liu Bei's biological son, if someone else had been killed on the spot, who wouldn't understand these powerful relationships? At the moment, everyone was silent, Wei Yan turned to look at Wu Yi again, and said, "The general is a national relative, so you can say a few words first." ”

Wu Yi hurriedly said: "What General Wei said is very true, but those who have rumors to confuse the public must be severely punished." He said to Zhao Shu again: "Your Highness is overly sad and his speech is abnormal, the general must not go to his heart." Zhao Shu nodded, and asked the two to let go of Zhao Shu and walk in front of Liu Li. At this moment, Liu Li was already so frightened that he trembled. Zhao Shu gently straightened him, bowed down in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty unfortunately died, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far away in Chengdu, and King Lu Chitose is delirious. For major events in the palace, please call the shots. Everyone turned to Liu Li again, and said in unison: "Please call the shots." ”

Liu Li is younger, and he is far less courageous than his brother, but he can't stop crying, and he seems to ignore what Zhao Shu said. Yan Peng glanced at Huang Hao, who hurriedly came to Liu Li's side and whispered comfort. After all, Huang Hao is often around Liu Bei, and Liu Li is closer to him, so he persuaded him for a while and then stopped crying. Huang Hao whispered a few more words, and Liu Li spoke: "My father died, and the lonely king was very young, so I asked the general to cook for me, so I hope you don't have to work hard." ”

Zhao Shu bowed again: "Weichen dares not to do his best? So he got up and assigned the generals, the emperor's death was indeed a very troublesome thing, and it took several days for Shu to learn from Yan Peng and others before he remembered the basic etiquette clearly, and he had to report the funeral to Chengdu and the counties. I was busy until late at night, and I couldn't go back to rest at home, so I had to accompany Liu Li to keep the spirit. Poor Zhao Shu's injuries have not healed, so he can't afford to kneel here!

Liu Bei's Lingtang is set up in a large hall with the palace, which is solemn and a little calm. The generals have dispersed, one has its own duties, the other is the whole army to show filial piety, and some things must be arranged separately. Only Zhao Shu and Wu Yi's brothers accompanied Liu Li, and Wei Yan led people to guard outside the palace to make sure that everything was perfect.

The white flags fluttered, a candle burned out, and Huang Hao replaced it with another. Liu Li was in front of Zhao Shu, and now he had stopped crying, but he was kneeling sluggishly. In the middle of the night, Zhao Shu felt a trace of guilt for this child. Liu Bei, a monarch and a politician, is not surprising that he has such a death. But how can Liu Li be worthy of it? In the past few years, Zhao Shu has been accustomed to blood, and there is always some softness left in his heart. However, just this trace of guilt is not enough to change Zhao Shu's current thinking and anything that should be done.

Wu Yi, born in the Wu Ban Xingwu, has a strong body, and there is no problem in kneeling for a night; Zhao Shu was also trying his best to insist, but Liu Li was young and sleepy, and he didn't see Dongfang white, so he couldn't hold on, half asleep and half awake, and his body was shaking and wanting to fall. Huang Hao was busy talking and shouting, but was stopped by Zhao Shu and asked him to kneel forward, so that Liu Li could lean on him to rest.

The next morning, the generals in the city entered the palace together to pay homage in front of Liu Beiling, and kept Zhao Shu busy until the afternoon before he could finally go back to rest for a while. Yan Peng also followed Zhao Shu all the way back to the house, and Zhao Shu knew that he had something to say, so he invited him to the room to talk alone. The two sat opposite each other, Yan Peng didn't need to hide his words now, and said directly: "Last night, King Lu kept shouting in the dormitory that the general was plotting to kill the lord, and most of the people in the White Emperor City were the general's henchmen, or they were fine, but if he returned to Chengdu and let him shout like this, it would always be bad for the general." ”

Zhao Shu understood what he meant, and he just wanted to get rid of Liu Yong together. Since the day Zhao Shu saw Liu Yong, he has been quite fond of his words and deeds, just like after Liu Bei, compared to the queen who can't see any ability, but should be mediocre and incompetent, and the timid and cowardly younger brother Liu Li, they have won a lot. Of course, the more capable he is, the more unsafe it is for Zhao Shu, but Zhao Shu has never had the idea of killing him, after all, he is just a child.

Yan Peng could always see through Zhao Shu's mind at a glance, and said in a low voice: "Although he can't threaten the general now, the older he gets, the stronger his hatred becomes. Leaving such hidden dangers, subordinates steal for the general not to take. ”

Zhao Shu said "en" lightly, but still didn't say it, and said after a while: "The lord just went, and another prince died, I'm afraid that it will be more truthful." Yan Peng smiled faintly: "As long as the general nods, his subordinates naturally have a way to let him go without the slightest suspicion." Zhao Shu looked at his smile, only felt a chill down his spine, he really regretted sending Ye Feng away, if Yan Peng also ordered something to himself, it was really impossible to prevent it.

Yan Peng didn't see through Zhao Shu's mind at the moment, still because Zhao Shu hesitated, and persuaded again: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of just in case, the general can't take this big risk, and he can't make the slightest mistake." If you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game. ”

Zhao Shu stood up and paced back and forth in the room, and also felt that what Yan Peng said was reasonable, cutting the grass without removing the roots, and finally he was afraid that the spring breeze would blow and grow again. Killing one is killing, killing two or killing, Zhao Shu is destined to not leave any reputation, and immediately said: "Shengping, just ......" Before the words were spoken, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then Guan Feng's voice said: "Can I come in?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shu agreed, and said to Yan Peng quickly in a low voice: "You go down first, ban it, and let me think about it for two days." Yan Peng glanced at Zhao Shu, looked slightly disappointed, got up to say goodbye, and saluted Guan Feng who entered the door before going out.

Guan Feng was holding a bowl of decoction and complained: "I didn't use medicine yesterday, so don't you care about the wound?" Zhao Shu hurriedly reached out and took it, and was about to drink, but remembered that it was Yan Peng's prescription, and couldn't help trembling slightly, and sprinkled a lot of medicine on his chest. Guan Feng glared at Zhao Shu and said angrily: "Look, if you don't take care of your body, you can't take care of the medicine." As he spoke, he took the medicine bowl over and fed Zhao Shu with a soup spoon.

Zhao Shu also secretly laughed at his cup, drank a few sips, and said: "Your Majesty died suddenly, how could I go back to the house to rest last night?" When Guan Feng heard this, his expression froze, he put down the medicine bowl again, and suddenly asked, "How did Your Majesty die?" Zhao Shu knew that she would definitely ask this question, but she also had to lie and replied: "Your Majesty has been sick for many days, and naturally he died of illness." Guan Feng looked directly at Zhao Shu with his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty has been in bed for many days and has never died, but how can Kong Ming lose power, and you will ...... power alone."

Zhao Shu pretended to be displeased and interrupted her and said, "Why do you doubt me too?" Am I such a thief in your heart? Guan Feng was asked by Zhao Shu in two words, and immediately stopped talking, and said for a long time: "You haven't closed your eyes last night, now rest for a while." As he spoke, he approached the inner room and made the bed for Zhao Shu. Looking at her back, Zhao Shu also felt guilty in his heart, but if Liu Bei didn't die, how could he have a stable life?

Zhao Shu slowly walked behind her, gently hugged her, and said softly, "I'm sorry." Guan Feng sighed, and suddenly said, "I won't ask about you in the future." Men and women are always different. I didn't want to talk about the death of the first emperor anymore, so I changed my words: "I promised you, I will definitely do it, and I will never usurp the Han family." Guan Feng nodded silently. Looking at her delicate face, Zhao Shu couldn't help but kiss it lightly, and suddenly asked, "How long have we not been intimate?" ”

Guan Feng never expected that Zhao Shu would ask such a question at this moment, and his face was suddenly full of red clouds, and he said angrily: "You ......" Zhao Shu didn't wait for her to say more, so he sealed her lips......
