Although it was in the middle of the night, Xiao Huangmen from the palace quickly found Zhuge Liang.

For no other reason, everyone in Chengdu knows that Zhuge Liang is a person who often stays up late to work.

Coupled with such a big event that happened during the day today, with Zhuge Liang's character of being loyal to the country, it is even more unlikely that he will leave Shangshutai tonight.

After all, if the evidence of the Yizhou family is sorted out earlier, then the turmoil in Chengdu will be one more point, and it may be able to smooth out as soon as possible.

It's just that although Zhuge Liang often stays up late for official business, he is considerate of his subordinates, and he will not force his subordinates to stay and work with him.

It is Zhuge Liang's original intention of being dedicated to the public and understanding his subordinates, but under the arrangement of some well-intentioned people, it has become evidence that Zhuge Liang loves to monopolize power, which is really ridiculous.

When Zhuge Liang, who was alone in Shangshutai to review many incriminating evidence, received the edict from Xiaohuangmen, a look of surprise appeared on his face for a while.

Liu Bei would rarely call him urgently late at night.

Something went wrong, which made Zhuge Liang have a bad premonition in his heart.

Under this bad premonition, Zhuge Liang hurriedly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and then hurriedly followed the little yellow gate towards the palace.

On the way to the palace, Zhuge Liang was guessing why Liu Bei urgently summoned him.

Thinking of Mi Zhu's physical condition during the day, Zhuge Liang faintly had some inferences in his heart.

But with Zhuge Liang's understanding of Liu Bei, he knew that if that incident alone was not enough to make Liu Bei like this.

After thinking about it, Zhuge Liang still couldn't guess what made Liu Bei want to see him in such a hurry, so he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.

Anyway, when I see Liu Bei for a while, everything will be clear.

It's just that when Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei under the leadership of Xiaohuangmen, the shock on his face became even thicker, and he almost blurted out and asked:

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

After asking this sentence, because of the worry in his heart, Zhuge Liang forgot the boundary between monarchs and ministers for a while, and hurriedly approached Liu Bei's body.

It's no wonder that Zhuge Liang has this reaction, it's really that Liu Bei's current state is not good.

With Mi Zhu's passing, Liu Bei didn't seem to want his bedroom to be too bright.

At his command, many of the candles in the dormitory had been extinguished, so his dormitory seemed quite dark at this time.

In addition, under Liu Bei's grief, the long hair under the crown belt was a little loose, and the whole person's expression looked very sluggish.

Of course, the most important thing is that when Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei happened to be drinking a bowl of soup and medicine.

Liu Bei's performance is enough to show that he is now in poor health.

This is another important reason why he urgently summoned Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei saw Zhuge Liang approaching him with concern, and a smile finally appeared on his grief-stricken face.

It's just that when he thought of Mi Zhu's departure, Liu Bei's heart was still like a knife, he put down the decoction in his hand, looked at Zhuge Liang and said sadly:

"Mi Jun is gone."

Although it was just four simple words, Zhuge Liang could see from Liu Bei's tone and his current look how uncomfortable Liu Bei's heart was now.

Thinking about it, the reason why Liu Bei was sick had a lot to do with Mi Zhu's departure.

Liu Bei's body has not been good recently, which Liu Bei once told Zhuge Liang.

In addition, in the current world that pays attention to love, righteousness and shame, the violent ups and downs of the two emotions of grief and anger can directly affect people's physical health.

I don't know how many talents in the past have died on these two words.

And with Liu Bei's temperament that values affection more than ordinary people, this will only have a greater impact on his physical health.

Thinking of this, the worry on Zhuge Liang's face became more and more intense.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward to pick up the decoction that Liu Bei put down, and when he handed the decoction back to Liu Bei's side, he said with concern:

"I hope that Your Majesty will mourn, and your body is important."

When he said this, Zhuge Liang was also very sad.

Although Mi Zhu and Zhuge Liang did not have a deep personal relationship in the past, Zhuge Liang admired him from the bottom of his heart for a pure minister like Mi Zhu.

Therefore, Mi Zhu's departure also made Zhuge Liang's heart uncomfortable.

In the face of Zhuge Liang's admonition, Liu Bei coughed a few times and shook his head slightly.

He pushed away the decoction handed by Zhuge Liang, and his body knew it.

He won't be able to die for a while, but again, drinking this bowl of decoction can't make his body fully recover.

He urgently summoned Zhuge Liang to come, and there was something more important.

Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "Liu Ba has been removed from the position of Shang Shuling by me.

Although the main government affairs of Shangshutai are all handled by the secretary, but the ancestral system cannot be abolished, and the secretary also needs a virtuous person to assist the left.

Early tomorrow morning, Qing plans to recruit Shang Shu Ma Liang to succeed Shang Shu Ling. ”

Hearing Liu Bei's order, Zhuge Liang nodded and took the order.

In terms of the current national conditions of the Han Dynasty, although Shang Shuling's power is not as good as before, it is still a very important position.

In terms of status and power, Shang Shuling can be equated with the deputy prime minister.

For such a position, it is necessary to find a talented person to succeed as soon as possible.

And Ma Liang is the best candidate to succeed Shang Shuling in the current Han Dynasty in terms of qualifications, merits, and fame.

After deciding this matter, Liu Bei immediately said to Zhuge Liang: "In addition to preparing this edict, you will draft another edict to mourn Mi Jun."

And ordered Zuo Zhonglang to take Yang Yi as the envoy, posthumously presented the Mijun hussar general Sikong seal ribbon, and posthumously awarded Mi Jun's name as Wenxiang.

When it was time to be buried, he ordered Shi Shi to send Huben, and they played propaganda before and after, and sent Mi Jun to the funeral with the hussar general and the Sikong honor guard.

Chengdu Zhongzhong and below the three princes must also be there on that day.

In addition, it was stated in the edict that according to Mi Jun's dying wishes, death and mourning would not miss a major national event, so the Mi clan people did not need to mourn Mi Jun. ”

Hearing Liu Bei's order, Zhuge Liang still received the order and said yes.

With Mi Zhu's exploits during his lifetime and Liu Bei's feelings for him, it is reasonable that he was posthumously named one of the three princes after his death, after all, Mi Zhu was one of the nine Qings during his lifetime.

And although it is posthumously sealed, according to the current etiquette law, all the honors after the posthumous ancestors are just like the ancestors, and the ancestors can enjoy them.

That is to say, from now on, if others want to be honored with the title of Mi Zhu, they must treat him as a commonplace.

Moreover, Mi Zhu's family will also have the first three princes, which is extremely beneficial to the development of a family.

If it is reasonable to say that chasing Mi Zhu is commonplace, then from Liu Bei's nickname to Mi Zhu and the various arrangements for the funeral, it can be seen how deep Liu Bei's feelings for Mi Zhu are.

The word Wenxiang is an excellent word for people.

Moreover, according to the etiquette system of the two Han Dynasty, it is not easy for ordinary people and ministers to get nicknames, not to mention that they can generally only get one-word nicknames.

But now Mi Zhu has received a two-word nickname that represents a great honor, and he can also get the funeral procedures that are obviously beyond the specifications, Liu Bei can be said to be extremely proud of Mi Zhu after his death.

As for not letting the Mi clan hold a funeral for Mi Zhu, Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was for Mi Yang and for Liangzhou.

After ordering these two major events in a row, Liu Bei couldn't help coughing a few times.

His expression grew paler.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stepped forward to pat Liu Bei's back to smooth his breath, and under Zhuge Liang's service, Liu Bei's breath gradually stabilized.

Looking at Zhuge Liang, who took care of himself like a nephew, Liu Bei's face was pale, but he still had some relieved looks.

It's just that state affairs are important, and he has to tell Zhuge Liang the most important thing next.

Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand and whispered to him: "I have also seen my body, and I am no longer as strong as I was young.

It's just that state affairs are important, and today Mi Jun used his life to give me a great opportunity, and I can't let it go. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bei picked up an edict from the imperial eucalyptus in front of him, and he handed over the edict that he had just written by hand to Zhuge Liang.

Then he said in a cautious tone: "This edict was written by me myself, and the content of the edict is that I want the prince to listen to the government and exercise his ability to handle political affairs.

During the period when the crown prince was in power, all government affairs in the court were decided by the secretary, and I hope that the secretary will not live up to my expectations. ”

When he heard Liu Bei's solemn words, tears appeared in Zhuge Liang's eyes.

Zhuge Liang knew why Liu Bei would give him the power of auxiliary government in advance, not as Liu Bei said in the edict, he wanted to exercise Liu Chan's governance ability in advance.

Instead, Liu Bei realized that his body might not be able to cope with the complicated government affairs for the time being.

He needs some time to take care of his body.

Liu Bei's solemn tone was still a little apologetic, as if he felt that it was wrong for him to work Zhuge Liang so hard.

After realizing the complicated emotions in Liu Bei's heart, Zhuge Liang felt very sad in his heart.

It's just that how could Zhuge Liang not understand Liu Bei's helplessness?

Yuan Cong's old ministers are either dead or outside, and the second generation of Yuan Cong still needs time to grow.

Now there is no shortage of corresponding political talents in the entire Han Dynasty, but how many people can make Liu Bei completely trust?

Don't forget, Liu Ba's actions today broke Liu Bei's heart and sounded a wake-up call for him.

The Han clan is still like this, let alone others.

In this case, at present, the government and the opposition, Liu Bei can only entrust Zhuge Liang.

Facing Liu Bei's apologetic gaze, Zhuge Liang temporarily rested his sad heart.

What he has to do now is to reassure Liu Bei and recuperate.

So in the face of Liu Bei's entrustment, Zhuge Liang took a step back slightly with the edict in his hand, and said to Liu Bei with tears in his eyes:

"If you don't dare to do your best, you will die!"

Since the day he followed Liu Bei, he has entrusted his life to Liu Bei's great cause, just like Mi Zhu and others.

Listening to Zhuge Liang's solemn promise in front of him, Liu Bei's heart was more than half settled.

He has experienced many betrayals in his life, but the heavens have taken care of him, and there are some people who will always be loyal to him to death.

It's just that Liu Bei still has something to ask Zhuge Liang.

"After the corresponding criminal evidence is sorted out, Qing must remember not to be soft, the clan is the clan.

Everything today is not a good situation created by Mi Jun alone, if Yun Chang and the others have spirits in the sky, they also hope that those small sins will be deserved. ”

When he said this, Liu Bei's tone was full of coldness.

Liu Bei knew that the reason why Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and others would leave before him was because they all had dark wounds in their bodies.

It can be said that they used their lives to prop themselves up to the throne of this emperor.

In this case, whether it was for the sake of Dahan or his fellow Daoist spirits in the sky to be comforted, Liu Bei didn't want those Yizhou families who deserved it to survive in this world.

After hearing Liu Bei's instructions, Zhuge Liang nodded solemnly.

In the face of Xiaoxiao, he has always been tolerant, and he does not lack iron-blooded means.

Seeing that Liu Bei had already ordered everything, Zhuge Liang didn't want to disturb Liu Bei's rest, and took the initiative to retire from Liu Bei.

After getting Liu Bei's permission, Zhuge Liang turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall.

From time to time, a breeze broke into Liu Bei's dormitory, and under the illumination of the lights in the hall, Zhuge Liang's figure on the ground swayed.

It's just that although the lights in the hall are dim at this time, in Liu Bei's eyes, Zhuge Liang's swaying figure seems to be glowing.

Liu Bei, who had this illusion, unconsciously stopped Zhuge Liang.

Hearing Liu Bei's call, Zhuge Liang hurriedly turned around and looked at Liu Bei with a surprised gaze.

Is there anything else Your Majesty has to command?

Liu Bei smiled slightly after seeing the tears hanging from the corners of Zhuge Liang's eyes.

Feeling very tired, he sat up straight under Zhuge Liang's gaze at this time, and then whispered to Zhuge Liang:

"I'm still here, don't worry."

"It's dark and the road is dangerous, please go slowly."

After listening to Liu Bei's two words with special meanings, Zhuge Liang felt a stable mood in his heart.

Although the man in his eyes is gray-haired, he has always been the backbone of the big man.

With him, I feel at ease.

Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to Liu Bei in the dim light, and then resolutely turned around and withdrew from Liu Bei's dormitory.

I also want to reassure him.

Seeing Zhuge Liang's resolute departure back, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth also showed a reassuring smile.

Maybe Liu Bei's bedroom is dimly lit tonight, but fortunately, tonight's dormitory brings together Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the two monarchs and ministers.

The dimness of the light could not hide the brilliance emanating from this pair of monarchs and ministers, which made countless people in later generations fall for it.

...

When the sun shone in Chengdu on the second day, Zhuge Liang announced Liu Bei's three edicts in time according to Liu Bei's instructions last night.

Among the three edicts, although the other two are somewhat surprising, compared to the edict of Liu Bei to let the prince listen to the government and Zhuge Liang to assist the government, their impact is far less than it.

Yesterday, such a big event just happened, and the city of Chengdu was already in turmoil.

Now that Liu Bei has this edict again, the hearts of the people in Chengdu City have become even more floating for a while.

After all, although Liu Bei deliberately concealed his illness, at this juncture, Liu Bei suddenly handed over all political power to Zhuge Liang and the unsuccessful prince, which really can't make people think about it.

Many people may not be able to guess the truth of the matter, but this does not prevent them from thinking out of the box and starting to speculate.

For a time, all kinds of shocking rumors circulated in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.

Some of those rumors were spontaneously generated, while others were deliberately spread by well-intentioned people.

The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and at this time, many Yizhou families are still alive and well.

Then their secret counterattack is bound to brew.

Sitting back and waiting has never been their style.

Under the spread of all kinds of rumors, the hearts of the people in Chengdu became more and more turbulent.

And after dawn, this kind of turmoil is rapidly radiating towards the entire Han at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

Yesterday, people only thought that Dahan was about to face a fierce storm, but some people of insight have keenly seen that the next Dahan will face a major earthquake that is enough to affect the country.

Including Zhuge Liang.

It's just that whether it's a storm or a big earthquake, will Zhuge Liang be afraid?

He's a Wolong!

Just today, under Zhuge Liang's arrangement, a messenger drove out of Chengdu City quickly and rushed towards Liangzhou.
