Chapter 384: Someone Is Dying Three days have come
Liu Ba's writing was excellent, and after he left the council hall, he quickly drafted an edict and handed it to Zhuge Liang for review.
After Zhuge Liang reviewed it, he immediately asked people to publicize the edict in Chengdu.
Under Zhuge Liang's initiative, it was not long before the contents of that edict spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chengdu.
After ordinary people know the contents of the edict, they may use this matter as some talking points after cooking.
It's just that when those wealthy families found out about this, it was obvious that their emotions were aroused.
What jealousy in their hearts, what a rainy day to take precautions, they were all thrown out of the clouds at this moment.
There's no one who isn't excited when the plan is going its way.
There is no wealthy family who does not like this feeling of fiddling in the shadows.
Especially this feeling, they haven't felt it for a long time, so now they are even more excited and excited.
Chengdu's Qing discussion against Mi Yang seems to have reached a climax in an instant after the announcement of this edict.
At the same time, countless wealthy families in Yizhou began to gather friends and gather in private.
They gathered together and began to discuss together how to completely defeat Mi Yang into a situation of no return at the court meeting three days later.
Because of the surging human feelings and the boiling of public opinion, even Mi Zhu, who has been ignoring political affairs recently and recuperating at home, knows about this matter at home.
After Liu Bei became emperor, he worshiped Mi Zhu as a guard captain.
As one of the noble Jiuqing, Wei Wei not only has a respected status, but also has a very great power in this position.
It's just that because Mi Zhu is over sixty years old, and because he was injured in his foot when he fled with Liu Bei, Mi Zhu has not participated in the handling of government affairs in recent years.
But this does not mean that Mi Zhu is an insignificant person in the current political structure of the Han Dynasty.
On the contrary, everyone in Chengdu knows that Zhuge Liang is the first person among the ministers in terms of power, but if it is only about status, Mi Zhu is the well-deserved first Hanchen.
Because if it weren't for Mi Zhu's full support, Liu Bei might have disappeared in the dangerous and troubled times, and there would be no current big man.
With this, Mi Zhu's credit is greater than anyone else's.
Perhaps at first, Mi Zhu concentrated on recuperating at home, so he didn't know what was wrong in Chengdu recently.
It's just that Mi Zhu, who was born in a wealthy businessman's family, has no other abilities, but when it comes to the ability to observe words and feelings, it is a unique one in the world.
In the past few days, by observing the expressions of his family, he soon discovered some strange things.
In this case, he specially summoned his henchmen to ask, and then he understood everything that had happened in Chengdu recently.
Knowing that Chengdu Central is setting off a political storm against Mi Yang recently, Mi Zhu, who has always been mild-mannered, can't help but be angry.
He immediately had a group of family members summoned and asked them to kneel in front of his couch one by one and listen to his questioning.
Mi Zhu first looked at Mi Fang, who was kneeling at the front, his eyes were full of anger:
"Since I was recuperating, the affairs of the family should have been handled by Wei'er.
But you are my younger brother and Wei'er's uncle, so I have handed over the reins of the family to you.
But how do you repay my trust in you?
Why don't you tell me about such an important matter, is it possible that you are trying to deceive your superiors and subordinates, and you can't do it if you want to completely empty me! β
Mi Zhu angrily pointed at Mi Fang's nose and said these heart-wrenching words to him.
And after Mi Fang heard these words, she was immediately frightened and bloodless.
He is most afraid of two people in the world, one is Liu Bei, and the other is Mi Zhu.
What's more, in the world where Gangchang is valued, Mi Zhu's accusation against him can be said to be very heavy.
Once Mi Zhu's accusations circulate, then his reputation is not too good, but it will really stink completely.
It's just that although Mi Fang wanted to defend himself, some of his words came to his lips, but he swallowed them alive.
Mi Fang's character can be said to be the bottom of the crowd.
But at the same time, he is also a person who values family affection, if Mi Zhu scolds him for two sentences that can be angry, then he is willing to let Mi Zhu scold.
And Mi Zhu saw that Mi Fang did not return the favor under his accusations, and he quickly turned the finger to Mi Wei.
"Filial piety is the great virtue of people.
As my son, but you help your uncle to deceive your father, is this considered filial piety?
I gave birth to you, nurtured you, and helped you, is this how you repay me? β
Mi Zhu's two rhetorical questions that directly pointed to filial piety instantly shattered Mi Wei's heart defense.
No matter how iron-blooded a man is in the world, he can't afford the accusation of unfilial piety.
Mi Wei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and the look of shame and remorse on his face kept changing.
But in the end, he didn't dare to speak out to defend himself, but kept kowtowing to Mi Zhu to ask for guilt.
Mi Zhu's temperament has always been mild, and he has rarely made such serious accusations against his family.
But today he did so, which shows how deep the anger in Mi Zhu's heart is now.
It's just that after Mi Zhu saw him reprimanding Mi Fang and Mi Wei in a row, neither of them responded to his accusations, and he, who is proficient in human affairs, how could he not understand Mi Fang and Mi Wei's painstaking efforts?
His body knows by himself, maybe his limit is at this time.
So at this juncture, Mi Fang and Mi Wei want to hide the news from him.
They just want to recuperate in peace.
They lose their temper because their family is being criticized, and they are willing to take the risk of criticism because of their family, both of which have the same starting point.
Because he knew the hard work of Mi Fang and Mi Wei, after accusing the two, Mi Zhu himself could only sigh helplessly.
He leaned his body on the edge of the couch, his hand clutching the edict copied from a confidant.
Mi Zhu raised the edict in his hand, patted the wooden couch under him and asked loudly:
"Faced with such a situation, what strategies do you two have to help him survive this catastrophe?"
Maybe before he knew the content of the edict, Mi Zhu would not be worried in his heart.
But after knowing the content of the edict, Mi Zhu knew that this matter was not so easy to be good.
In the face of Mi Zhu's inquiry, Mi Fang and Mi Wei finally gave some responses this time.
They raised their heads to look at Mi Zhu, and then shook their heads together with deep concern on their faces.
Seeing Mi Fang and Mi Wei's reaction, Mi Zhu angrily threw the edict in his hand directly towards the two of them.
In fact, it's no wonder that Mi Fang and Mi Wei can't do it, the main thing is that they specialize in the art industry, Mi Fang is good at doing business, and Mi Wei is good at training soldiers.
As for the political turmoil, they really don't have the temperament to deal with it.
And the reason why Mi Zhu threw the edict angrily was that Mi Fang and Mi Wei obviously had no good way, but they still didn't tell him about it and asked him for his opinion.
In the end, Mi Fang boldly replied: "Your Majesty and the Prime Minister love Zisheng, and I think they will defend Zisheng." β
Hearing Mi Fang's words, the anger in Mi Zhu's heart was even worse.
"No matter how much Your Majesty and Prime Minister love Zisheng, are they Zisheng's family?
Zisheng is a lonely widow!
The love and trust of others is the icing on the cake after all, and only the selfless support of family members is the eternal send-off.
I have worked hard for decades to let my family have something to rely on in troubled times, but now you are pinning your hopes on others, stupid, stupid! β
Mi Zhu's tone was full of hatred for iron and steel.
It's just that now is not the time to just blame Mi Fang and Mi Wei, Mi Fang and Mi Wei can't think of a way to help Mi Yang.
But Mi Zhu has.
Mi Zhu looked at Mi Fang, and he said to Mi Fang: "Yizhou has been in turmoil recently, and I think Zisheng will definitely get this news."
You write a letter right now, and send it to Zisheng as soon as possible.
In the letter, you told Zisheng that no matter what happens, you should not return to Chengdu until Your Majesty has issued an edict.
This is important to remember! β
When Mi Zhu said this, he focused on the words "no matter what happens" to accentuate his tone.
Listening to Mi Zhu's profound entrustment, and looking at Mi Zhu's pale face again, Mi Fang seemed to have expected something, and her eyes instantly turned red.
However, under Mi Zhu's awakening just now, he also realized the importance of this matter, so he hurriedly agreed.
After entrusting this matter, Mi Zhu turned his eyes to Mi Wei again.
"After your rest is over today, take my seal early tomorrow morning and double the guards in the palace.
And it is necessary to ensure that the leading generals in the palace, from the captain to the small commander, are all people who have been promoted by me. β
If Mi Zhu's first command is normal, then Mi Zhu's command is a bit confusing.
Mi Wei looked at Mi Zhu with surprised eyes.
He is now the general of the Tiger Ben, and he is already directly in control of the Tiger Ben Army in the Suwei Palace.
And Mi Zhu is the captain of the guard.
Although the authority of the guard in the Eastern Han Dynasty has declined compared with that of the Western Han Dynasty, no matter how much it declines, the guard is still the supreme commander who controls the armed forces of the entire palace.
On top of that, the guard also has the power to select middle and lower-ranking military attachΓ©s.
With these two powers, Mi Wei relied on Mi Zhu's seal to do what he commanded, which was very easy.
But it's one thing to be able to do it, and it's another thing to do it.
Mi Zhu has always given the impression to the world that he is indisputable and graceful.
With his character, he suddenly gave such an offensive order, which was really much unexpected for Mi Wei.
However, Mi Zhu is both Mi Wei's father and his boss, so in the face of Mi Zhu's order, Mi Wei can only bow to the order.
It's just that Mi Wei's face can see that he has some worries in his heart.
Mi Wei's emotions couldn't hide Mi Zhu, he knew what Mi Wei was worried about.
It's nothing more than worrying about what Liu Bei will feel after knowing about this.
However, Mi Zhu can arrange it like this, then he must have thought about this a long time ago.
Mi Zhu took out his seal letter from his bosom, handed him into Mi Wei's hands, and then said to him: "Don't worry about it, everything has me." β
When Mi Wei heard Mi Zhu's words, the worried look on his face disappeared instantly.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Mi Zhu has always been a very low-key person.
But he knew that Mi Zhu was the biggest contributor to the Mi clan in the East China Sea.
Even Liu Bei's trust in Mi Yang is largely because he is Mi Zhu's nephew.
In the end, Mi Wei respectfully took the seal letter from Mi Zhu's hands with both hands.
After handing over the seal letter to Mi Wei, Mi Zhu looked at Mi Fang and Mi Wei in front of him and asked them to retreat first.
Mi Fang and Mi Wei only thought that Mi Zhu wanted to rest, so they immediately withdrew from Mi Zhu's bedroom.
After Mi Fang and Mi Wei left with most of the people, there was only one healer left in Mi Zhu's bedroom.
In the Han Dynasty, the medical skills of many doctors were not passed on, so there were also a lot of quacks.
Because of this, many families in the world will habitually support a medical family that knows the roots.
In this way, they will also feel at ease when they are treating themselves.
The healer who has been standing beside Mi Zhu's couch is such an identity.
Because of this, when Mi Zhu and Mi Fang discussed affairs just now, this doctor did not have to avoid suspicion.
After everyone left, Mi Zhu looked at the healer beside the couch and asked him:
"Is there a way for me to get off this bed at the time of the big court meeting that day?"
Mi Zhu's tone was quite indifferent when he asked this, but when this sentence fell on the ears of this healer who regarded Mi Zhu as his master, it made his face look unbearable.
"Yes, yes.
It's just"
The healer's words were full of admonition, but before he could finish his words, Mi Zhu smiled and waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
It's good to have it, nothing else matters.
Mi Zhu, who already had some plans in his heart, said to the doctor: "Then let's do it." β
When Mi Zhu said this, his tone was as indifferent as ever.
It's as if he doesn't know what kind of impact this incident will have on his body.
And despite the dissuasion, this healer is actually just Mi Zhu's house slave, so in the end, the healer still swallows everything he wants to say.
After bowing to Mi Zhu, he went down to prepare to go.
After the doctor left, Mi Zhu was the only one left in the dormitory.
Seeing that there was finally no one else there, Mi Zhu's half-standing body suddenly fell on the bed.
After completely slumping on the bed, Mi Zhu ignored the pain in his body, and his mind was quickly thinking about what he needed to do next.
Who knows Liu Bei best in the world?
In addition to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he who has accompanied Liu Bei through decades of ups and downs, and his understanding of Liu Bei is also not low.
Even because of his ability to observe words and feelings, in some aspects, he knows Liu Bei better than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Will Liu Bei bow his head to the family?
Mi Zhu was the first to disbelieve this.
And after sorting this out, it's natural to guess something.
Mi Zhu is a loyal minister.
Since he is a loyal minister, if Liu Bei wants to draw a sword, then he has to come up with a reason for Liu Bei to pull out a sharp blade.
This is also his way of protecting Mi Yang.
In Mi Zhu's heart, the family and the country can be taken into account.
Thinking of this, Mi Zhu showed some peaceful smiles on his face.
"Etiquette is in the world, my servant." This is Liu Bei's evaluation of Mi Zhu.
Perhaps in Liu Bei's heart, Mi Zhu is a person who keeps to himself and never takes the initiative to ask for something.
It's just that people are about to die, and before he leaves this world, I'm afraid he will "overstep" once.
The time of three days is fleeting, and the date for Liu Bei to convene a court meeting has arrived.
On this day, from the middle to the emperor Liu Bei in Chengdu, and down to any courtier who is qualified to participate in the grand court meeting, they all get up early to freshen up.
Today is very important to them.
Whether the Han Dynasty founded by Liu Bei rules the world with the family or with the virtuous depends on the outcome of today's court meeting.
