Chapter 312: Two Major Events: Urgently Summoning Mi Yang

The news of Guan Yu's death could not be hidden, and Liu Bei had no intention of hiding the news of Guan Yu's death.

So after Liu Bei cried for a long time, he asked the waiter next to him to announce the news.

And when the news of Guan Yuxue's death spread all over Xinye City, the soldiers and civilians of the Han Dynasty inside and outside Xinye City instantly fell into great sadness.

Because of the pressure of military regulations, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty could not express the sadness in their hearts too warmly.

But after the people in Xinye City learned the news of Guan Yuxue's death, many people immediately began to cry bitterly, just like Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

The emotions of the people are simple, they are not literati.

When faced with their own irrepressible grief, they are unable to express their grief with flowery rhetoric.

The only way they can express their grief is to cry bitterly.

Among those who wept bitterly, the elderly were mainly over forty years old.

Only the people of Xinye at this age are the ones who remember Guan Yu leading the troops to protect their kindness the most.

Perhaps in Xinye City, Uncle Liu's reputation is the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But the resounding reputation of Uncle Liu Huang was not created by him alone, but by the joint efforts of many talents under his command.

Among those talents, Guan Yu is undoubtedly the brightest star except for Zhuge Liang.

But when this bright star fell, it brought endless sadness to many Xinye people.

So when there were bursts of heart-rending cries in the General's Mansion, there were also painful cries outside the General's Mansion in Xinye City.

On this day, the whole city of Shinno City is sad.

And when the news of Guan Yu's death spread throughout the other counties of the Han Dynasty, the whole Han Dynasty would soon fall into an atmosphere of national sorrow.

Especially in Jingzhou, where Yu Enwei is the deepest.

It's just that although Liu Bei's grief is difficult to control, as the son of the Han Dynasty, he will not be completely overshadowed by sadness.

Because if this is the case, it will make his second brother feel uneasy.

Therefore, for the sake of the country and his brother, Liu Bei must make decisions early on two major matters.

The first of the two major events is what kind of nickname he should receive after Guan Yuxue's death.

The nickname began in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After the death of emperors, empresses, princes and ministers and other great figures in ancient history, the imperial court would give them an evaluative title based on what they did during their lifetime, which is a nickname.

In the traditional concept of the ancients who paid attention to the name of the posthumous person, the unique nature of the coffin seal made him a title that even the Son of Heaven cared about very much.

It's just that not every big guy is qualified to get it.

In the Han tradition, it was not for the retainers to be non-liehous, but not all liehous were eligible for the title after death.

And even if a person is honored to be given a nickname by the imperial court, there are three kinds of nicknames: good, medium, and evil.

The person who received the praise represented the society at that time and highly recognized the contributions he made during his lifetime.

And the good word can become synonymous with the winner in the future generations, so that it will last for thousands of years.

For example, Zhao Lie of the Han Dynasty, Wu Mu of the Song Dynasty and so on.

And if a person is judged as evil after death, not only are his surviving descendants likely to lose their current position of power, and his family will decline.

In the future generations, this person's reputation is likely to be remembered for thousands of years.

This shows the importance of nicknames to a person in ancient times.

And with Guan Yu's powerful position in front of him, and with the merits he made for the Han Dynasty during his lifetime, he must be the kind of minister of the country who is qualified to receive the title.

It's just that the impact of the nickname on a person, or even a family, is too great, so what should Guan Yu's nickname use, the ministers of the Han Dynasty in Xinye City have been arguing endlessly these days.

However, the main focus of the debate among the ministers is what kind of praise should be given to Guan Yu.

After all, the ministers who can be taken by Liu Bei are all human spirits, with Liu Bei's feelings for Guan Yu, plus Guan Yu's great feats for the Han Dynasty during his lifetime.

If anyone dared to raise objections to the fact that Guan Yu deserved to be praised, then he would definitely be sent down by Liu Bei to make amends to Guan Yu personally.

But what is a little strange is that according to common sense, Liu Bei, who should be most concerned about Guan Yu's nickname, after seeing all kinds of good words offered by many ministers, he adopted the practice of staying in the middle and not issuing it, and never made a decision on what kind of nickname Guan Yu should use.

It's just that although many ministers have doubts, they feel that this should be because Liu Bei is too sad during this time, and he wants to choose an excellent nickname for Guan Yu.

Therefore, the turmoil over the discussion of Guan Yu's name passed quickly, but after this turmoil passed, the controversy over one thing was put on the table again.

This matter is about who should guard Jingzhou after Guan Yuxue's death.

Compared with Guan Yu's choice of nickname, the question of who should guard Jingzhou in the future is the first priority of the national dynasty in the hearts of many ministers and ministers.

Because Jingzhou is too important for the current Han Dynasty, his importance is even no less than that of Yizhou, where the capital of the Han Kingdom is located today.

For such an important state, his choice of town guard is undoubtedly related to the national fortune of the Han Dynasty.

Originally, this matter would not have been controversial.

Because according to the practice of succession in politics, when the general Guan Yuxu died, the post of governor of Jingzhou should be inherited by Ma Chao, a hussar general whose status was only below him.

But Ma Chao is completely untrusted, so no one has suggested this option to Liu Bei at all.

After ignoring Ma Chao as an invisible man, then the general guarding Jingzhou should naturally be Zhang Fei, the general of the cavalry.

Zhang Fei is in real history, although he is not a commander-in-chief like Guan Yu.

But he was not the short-witted man he was as he was in later generations.

On the contrary, Zhang Fei was good at using tactics in the process of real combat.

If it weren't for this, the candidates for the governor of Hanzhong back then, the generals would not have publicly recommended Zhang Fei.

And Zhang Fei's loyalty to Liu Bei is known to the world.

In terms of status, ability, and loyalty, Zhang Fei was the first person to replace him as the governor of Jingzhou after Guan Yuxue's death.

However, among the current Han people, there is another candidate who has been recommended by many ministers.

This candidate is Mi Yang.

Mi Yang's current official position is General Zuo.

Although General Zuo is two ranks worse than Zhang Fei's Che Cavalry General, because this is a military position that Liu Bei has held for a long time.

Therefore, this military position has a special status in the current Han official system.

In terms of ability and past achievements, Mi Yang is more suitable than Zhang Fei to guard Jingzhou in the eyes of some ministers.

This is not to say that in the eyes of those ministers, Mi Yang's ability is stronger than Zhang Fei.

It's just that Jingzhou has a special geographical location bordering Cao Wei and Jiangdong, and in this case, Mi Yang is more suitable than Zhang Fei to guard Jingzhou.

Because both Cao Wei and Jiangdong were defeated by Mi Yang in a certain battle and suffered heavy losses.

This allowed Mi Yang to have a huge prestige in Cao Wei and Jiangdong at the same time, which Zhang Fei did not have.

Moreover, because of the battle of public security that year, Mi Yang had a prestige in Jingzhou that was only below Guan Yu.

With a strong prestige both externally and internally, it would be a very suitable arrangement for Mi Yang to become the general of Jingzhou, the land of the four wars.

As for Mi Yang's loyalty, not to mention, his various identities and his past performance, no one will doubt his loyalty to the Han.

And in addition to the above reasons, there is another reason that Mi Yang is a big plus.

That is, in the eyes of many ministers, Mi Yang is Guan Yu's preferred successor during his lifetime.

This can be easily seen from Guan Yuxue's performance in teaching Mi Yang many times before his death.

Although Jingzhou is not Guan Yu's private property, Guan Yu's prestige and status in the Han Dynasty during his lifetime, coupled with the huge influence he left in Jingzhou.

If the next governor of Jingzhou is Mi Yang, who he belonged to during his lifetime, it will undoubtedly be an excellent thing for Jingzhou and for the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because Zhang Fei and Mi Yang are very suitable to succeed Guan Yu and become the next governor of Jingzhou.

Therefore, the ministers of Shinnonaka began to gradually divide into two factions according to their own different views.

Of course, the actions of those ministers were not for personal gain, their starting point was for the good of the big man, and it was a normal argument because of different political views.

For this reason, Liu Bei did not stop the controversy, but at the same time he did not arbitrate it.

So under Liu Bei's attitude, the controversy in Xinye City is intensifying.

It's just that although Liu Bei did not clearly show his attitude towards the controversy between the ministers of the two factions, it does not mean that he has done nothing.

On the second day of Guan Yu's death, he ordered the messenger to go to Fancheng quickly and summoned Mi Yang, who was leading the troops to garrison Fancheng.

When Sanying led the army all the way north, in order to ensure the safety of the rear road of the army, Liu Bei asked Mi Yang to lead the army to garrison Fancheng, and dealt with post-war matters by the way.

The distance between Xinye and Fancheng is not far, and there is a connection to Yushui, so it was not long before Miyang in Fancheng received Liu Bei's summoning edict.

Along with Liu Bei's summoning edict, there was also news about Yu Xue's death.

And after knowing that Guan Yu had passed away in Xinye City the day before yesterday, Mi Yang couldn't hide the sadness in his heart, and couldn't help crying in front of all the generals.

Although he had prepared in his heart before, when Guan Yu, who was like a master and a father, really left him, the sadness in Mi Yang's heart was no less than that of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

And once Mi Yang recalled the words that Guan Yu immediately asked him that day, the sadness in his heart became even more uncontrollable.

And not only Mi Yang cried, but even the other generals who learned the news were also crying.

What's more, Guan Yu's descendant generals such as Liao Hua, Zhao Lei, and Wang Fu have even started crying.

It's just sadness is sadness, and after Mi Yang knew that Liu Bei was in a hurry to see him in Xinye City, he immediately began to assign generals to garrison various important places around Fancheng.

Then on the day he received Liu Bei's edict, he rushed towards Xinye with more than 100 personal guards.

The reason why Mi Yang was so anxious was because he knew that at this sensitive juncture, Liu Bei suddenly summoned him to Xinye, and there must be an unusual reason.

Regarding that reason, Mi Yang already had some speculations in his heart after learning about the controversy in Xinye City in the past few days from the mouth of the edict squire.

According to Mi Yang's conjecture, Liu Bei urgently summoned him to Xinye, probably to personally investigate whether he could take on the heavy responsibility of guarding Jingzhou.

In fact, although Guan Yu revealed before his death, he may become the governor of Jingzhou after his death.

It's just that after all, it is Guan Yu's thoughts, and it is up to Liu Bei to make a decision whether this matter can come true or not.

So for this matter, Mi Yang didn't pay too much attention to it in the previous days.

But this doesn't mean that Mi Yang doesn't want to become the governor of Jingzhou who is almost under one person and above ten thousand.

People go to high places, and it is Mi Yang's ambition to help the Han family, but this does not mean that Mi Yang has no political ambitions.

Just as Zhang Fei wanted to become the governor of Hanzhong back then, Mi Yang now also wants to become the governor of Jingzhou.

Under this mentality, it is one thing not to take the initiative to drill and take measures, but if the opportunity falls in front of him, Mi Yang will not pretend to refuse.

When it is done, it is what Mi Yang thinks in his heart at this time.

Just when Mi Yang was rushing towards Xinye with a guess in his heart, Mi Yang and his party had already come to Xinye City in two days.

And after Mi Yang arrived in Xinye City, Fei Yi, who had already been instructed by Liu Bei, took Mi Yang outside Liu Bei's bedroom as soon as possible.

When Mi Yang came to the outside of Liu Bei's bedroom, he found that outside Liu Bei's bedroom, there were white banners hanging with spirit curtains.

And under the white banner that symbolizes the great mourning, there are many Han soldiers holding sharp blades.

After seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared on Mi Yang's face.

According to the current etiquette system, during the funeral, there are no swords and other murder weapons.

This is the evil spirit of the fear of the sword soldiers, and it collided with the ancestors and undead of Pan Huan at home.

Especially from the layout outside this house, it can be seen that the house where Liu Bei is located today is where Guan Yu's mourning hall is located.

Based on the emotions between Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Liu Bei personally guarded Guan Yu's spirit with the respect of the Son of Heaven, which is also in the past.

But with Liu Bei's love for Guan Yu, he should be the one who doesn't want to bump into Guan Yu's undead in anger.

Fei Yi saw a look of surprise on Mi Yang's face, he knew what Mi Yang was wondering about, so he opened his mouth to explain:

"Your Majesty believes that the general was a hero when he was alive, and the ghost of the dead after his death must also be a ghost in the underworld."

"Even if you are a ghost in the underworld, how can you be afraid of the evil spirit of the sword soldiers?

And His Majesty thinks that letting the general's personal troops stationed outside the mourning hall during his lifetime may make him feel that the general is still in this world. ”

After hearing that Liu Bei's arrangement had this meaning, Mi Yang's heart couldn't help but tremble.

How deep Liu Bei's feelings for Guan Yu are can be reflected from the arrangement of this detail.

At the same time, Mi Yang also heard the deep worry in Fei Yi's tone, and it was obvious that Liu Bei's mental state must have been very bad these days.

After Fei Yi said this, he gestured to Mi Yang to enter Guan Yu's mourning hall.

Before that, Liu Bei had already ordered that if Mi Yang arrived, he could go straight inside without passing through the communication.

After Mi Yang saw Fei Yi's signal, he prepared to step on the steps and walk towards Guan Yu's mourning hall.

It was only after he stepped on the first step that he heard Fei Yi's voice come again.

"General Zuo, persuade Your Majesty for the Great Han."

Fei Yi's tone was very heavy, and it was self-evident that he was worried about something.

In the past few days, no matter how prominent the minister is, he can't ask to see Liu Bei.

However, Mi Yang was able to get Liu Bei's grace to go straight inside without passing the word, which is enough to prove Mi Yang's status in Liu Bei's heart.

So Fei Yi said these words to Mi Yang.

After Mi Yang listened to Fei Yi's words, he turned to Fei Yi and bowed slightly, and then continued to walk towards Guan Yu's mourning hall.

In public and private, even if Fei Yi doesn't remind him, he will do it.

And when Mi Yang walked outside Guan Yu's mourning hall and was about to open the door of the mourning hall, what he didn't know was that his push through the door today would directly change the trajectory of his life for decades in the second half of his life.

It also solved a historical mystery of Ji Han for future generations.
