Happy times always pass quickly.

In the atmosphere of staggering and rejoicing with the monarchs and ministers, I don't know when, the sunshine of the second day quietly appeared in the sky.

And the moment the light appeared, it represented that the New Year's Day banquet had come to a successful end.

In the end, all the things of last night can only become a good memory in the hearts of many people, and it will also become a grand event written by the historian, lying quietly in the history books waiting for the discovery and yearning of future generations.

On the second day, Liu Bei led his ministers back to Chang'an.

Compared with the 100,000 people who came with him, the return journey seemed quite lonely.

And after Liu Bei's imperial chariot re-entered the Weiyang Palace, a worrying news gradually spread in Chang'an City not long after.

His Majesty is sick.

Or that this explanation is not accurate, after all, Liu Bei has always been in trouble.

To be precise, His Majesty's illness this time does not seem optimistic.

In the beginning, this news was only regarded as a rumor by the people of the time, and it was circulated in some unnoticed places.

But as time went by, Liu Bei, who had never appeared in front of the ministers, seemed to confirm the news invisibly.

Liu Bei had already expected his illness this time, and he did everything he could to conceal it as before.

What should come will come, the current big man can withstand all the wind and rain.

He has arranged everything that should be arranged, and Liu Bei has full confidence in his arrangement.

Countless people asked for peace to pass through Shangshutai and float into Liu Bei's bedroom.

But those ministers who wrote these invitations didn't know that with Liu Bei's physical condition at this time, he couldn't come to personally read the loyalty and filial piety from the minister.

Seeing that Liu Bei had not shown up and had not replied to any minister's request, many ministers finally panicked.

They realized something that they didn't want to admit in their hearts.

That incident frightened them, and they spontaneously put on their court clothes and came to the imperial city to inquire about the situation in person.

After they entered the Imperial City, they realized that the guards of the Imperial City had suddenly doubled under the arrangement of General Mi Wei.

According to the inquiry, the increase in the guards of the imperial city was directly ordered by the general himself.

Does the Great Shogun have the power to meddle in the defense of Miyagi?

Of course, there is.

But according to common sense, Hu Ben Zhonglang will have his own Shangguan Guangluxun, and the general should not have directly crossed Guangluxun to give orders to Hu Ben Zhonglang.

Unless there is something the general does not want others to know, unless there is something urgent and important.

What could that be?

As soon as I thought of this, combined with the doubts in my heart before, many ministers couldn't settle down for a long time.

They hugged each other and came to the Xiangguo official office in the imperial city, wanting to meet Zhuge Liang and ask what was going on.

Xiangguo is the chief of a hundred officials, and the first thing they think of right now is Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang did not refuse to meet with the ministers, and in the official office of Liangtang, the ministers saw Zhuge Liang who bowed down to work.

Zhuge Liang's face was solemn, and he was handling one official business after another in an orderly manner.

From Zhuge Liang's face, the ministers could not see the slightest abnormality.

And Zhuge Liang's next words further dispelled the doubts of the ministers.

"The fifteenth day of rest has not passed, why did you gather to find me?"

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, after New Year's Day, the ministers will be given a 15-day rest.

"If there is nothing important, it can all be dispersed."

Zhuge Liang's calm and calm tone made it difficult for the ministers who came to look for him to believe that Liu Bei was terminally ill.

Even after they saw Zhuge Liang's usual expression, it was difficult for them to ask the purpose of their coming.

After looking at each other for a long time, Meng Guang, who was finally pushed out by the eyes of many ministers, organized a language and asked sideways:

"Will the court meeting after the Lantern Festival be presided over by the crown prince or His Majesty?"

Since the end of the New Year's Day banquet, the first thing Xu Ci did when he returned to Chang'an was to write a letter to resign.

In the face of Xu Ci's resignation, Zhuge Liang directly agreed, and let the great farmer Meng Guang replace Xu Ci as the new Taichang of the Han Dynasty.

As long as it is not a major court meeting, the crown prince can generally preside over it in place of the king.

And the crown prince and the king preside over are two different etiquette regulations, so Meng Guang will have this question.

It's just that although it sounds reasonable on the surface that Meng Guang, who is too often, to ask about this matter, Zhuge Liang knows what Meng Guang and the ministers want to ask.

Raising his head slightly, looking directly at the ministers who were looking at him, Zhuge Liang replied lightly:

"Your Majesty."

After getting Zhuge Liang's answer, smiles appeared on the faces of the ministers.

Seeing that the doubts in their hearts were dispelled, all the ministers retreated to Zhuge Liang one after another.

But after the ministers left, what they didn't notice was that tears slipped down from the corners of Zhuge Liang's eyes.

Two tears fell on the paperwork in front of him, and Zhuge Liang muttered the second half of the sentence that he had just said:

"I hope."

Outside Liu Bei's dormitory, there were teams of blade-wielding feather forest guards constantly patrolling.

During the inspection, Yu Linwei's eagle-like gaze swept over every corner of the hall, and they would never allow themselves to be negligent outside Liu Bei's dormitory.

And when he walked outside Liu Bei's palace gate, Yu Linwei's eagle-like gaze instantly softened.

In the soft eyes, there are deep worries and prayers.

All kinds of complicated emotions are due to the coughing sound that comes from time to time in the temple.

And at this moment, in Liu Bei's bedroom, there are many imperial doctors walking back and forth.

The originally vast dormitory was also filled with a strong smell of medicine.

On a soft collapse on the east side of the dormitory, Liu Bei, who was wearing a single coat, was covering his mouth and coughing violently.

When the cough stopped temporarily, Liu Bei let go of the hand on the side of his mouth and looked at it, but saw a dazzling scarlet in the palm of his hand.

And this scene was also seen by Liu Chan, who was serving on the side, for the first time.

After seeing this scene, Liu Chan immediately pounced on Liu Bei.

While taking out the cloth on his body, he carefully wiped the blood stains in his hands for Liu Bei, and at the same time stroked Liu Bei's back and cried loudly, "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor!" ”

Under Liu Chan's eager crying, the imperial doctor on duty in the palace hurriedly ran to Liu Bei's bed.

A white-haired imperial doctor led by a gray-haired imperial doctor suddenly changed his face after kneeling down to ask Liu Bei for his pulse.

The imperial doctor's face changed, and he looked at Liu Bei and Liu Chan in the eyes.

And this can't help but make Liu Chan more anxious.

"What happened to my father's health?

But do I need to continue taking medication? ”

As he spoke, Liu Chan stood up and grabbed a prescription on the case, thinking of boiling medicine for Liu Bei himself.

But before Liu Chan could take a step, the imperial doctor kowtowed in panic and kept saying:

"The minister is incompetent, the minister is incompetent!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The imperial doctor's words directly struck Liu Chan like a thunderbolt, making his hand hang down weakly.

Liu Chan knew what the imperial doctor didn't dare to say.

The person who prescribes the prescription is prostrating his head and asking for sin, how useful can the prescription in his hand be?

Just when the imperial doctor kept kowtowing and asking for sin, a warm voice came:

"Life and death are fateful, and I am content."

"Princess."

While appeasing the imperial doctor with a word, Liu Bei, whose face was like gold paper, called Liu Chan to his side again.

"Zisheng was sent by me to Huashan to pray for the blessings of the people of the world a few days ago, and I thought that my health would not deteriorate so quickly.

Now that I think about it, I miscalculated.

People, when you are old, you are not as smart as when you were young.

I miss him.

You quickly send someone to summon Zisheng back to Chang'an, go quickly! ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Chan ran towards the outside of the hall with tears in his eyes.

Looking at the back of Liu Chan leaving, the corners of Liu Bei's mouth appeared with some relief.

When the relief dissipated, Liu Bei looked at Dong Yun, the waiter on the side:

"Summoning a hundred officials."
