During a discussion, Zhang Xi, Huang Quan, and Pang Tong all left Liu Bei's temporary palace in Chang'an with their heads full of confusion.

As for the reinstatement of the prime minister, there is no follow-up.

There is no way, the matter is too big, and before thinking about the pros and cons, none of the three of them dares to easily express their support or opposition.

Liu Bei also knew that this matter was very important, and he couldn't be in a hurry, so he didn't urge, and began to prepare for his ancestor worship ceremony first.

This matter has been decided, and it is set for the ninth day of the ninth month.

Nine is the yang number, and it is the extreme number, and September is the month of the official autumn harvest, celebrating the harvest, sacrificing the ancestors, and conforming to the etiquette system.

Therefore, on this day, Liu Bei personally went to Changling to worship Emperor Taizu Gao.

It is also from today that Liu Bei can introduce himself without meeting people again, saying that he is "after King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty".

Liu Bei is called the emperor, and he has been regarded as a small sect to succeed the great unification, and now after worshipping Changling, it is equivalent to reporting to the ancestors, and he can call himself "Emperor Gao Miao descendant" in the future.

This is also why Liu Bei worships Liu Bang's Changling Mausoleum, not the Yang Mausoleum of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

There is also political science in this.

As for the other one of the "two ancestors of Heiwu" mentioned in Liu Bei's edict on his accession to the throne, Emperor Shizu Liu Xiu and others will talk about Luoyang.

One thing to say, Qin Mi really did his best in the matter of Liu Bei's ancestor worship this time, not only did the scale of the engagement quite grand, but also the various etiquette systems were completely formulated in accordance with the ancient system of Zhou etiquette, so it can be said that in terms of etiquette, he couldn't find any fault.

There is only one point, which makes Liu Bei a little unbearable, too cumbersome.

The characteristics of Zhou rites are like this, the more important the ceremonial occasion, the more cumbersome the regulations on the etiquette system, plus Qin Mi in order to be able to show the prestige of this ancestor worship, read countless ancient books, contact the literati and Confucians from all over the world, and under the gossip, he formulated a complete set of cumbersome to the extreme, but also showed the royal atmosphere of the etiquette process.

Other people's ancestors worship for a maximum of one day, and when it is put on Liu Bei's side, a complete set of ancestor worship processes will take ten days.

By the way, Liu Bei spent a full five days in Changling.

It's not that Liu Bei stayed in the wilderness against a hill for five days in the emperor's mausoleum, in this era, there are above-ground buildings dedicated to sacrifices, but it's not what we see now, just a mound of sealed earth standing alone on the ground.

Even in terms of scope, it is quite large, Zuo Fengyi's Changling County, strictly speaking, belongs to the scope of the Changling Tomb of Han Taizu, and the people and officials in the county actually have the duty of guarding the tomb of Han Taizu.

Therefore, Liu Bei stayed in Changling for five days to worship Emperor Taizu Gao, but it does not mean that Liu Bei stayed in the wild for five days to blow the wind.

But even so, Liu Bei couldn't stand it.

According to Zhou etiquette, if Liu Bei wants to worship his ancestors, he must wear clothes with corresponding regulations, and these clothes, although they are gorgeous and show the temperament of the emperor, are really not too thick.

Coupled with Qin Mi's emphasis on ancient etiquette, Liu Bei would be dissuaded by Qin Mi even if he added an extra lining, because it was not in line with the etiquette system, and if it was seen by others, it would be laughed at, so even if Liu Bei felt cold, he could only endure it.

In the ninth day of September, although it is not yet winter, . It's really cold enough.

You know, the entire end of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the Xiaoice River period, not to mention, the time of winter is much earlier than before.

In addition, the climate of Guanzhong itself is colder than that of Shuzhong. After worshipping his ancestors, Liu Bei fell ill directly.

It's not a serious illness, it's just typhoid fever Liu Bei has had seven or eight typhoid fevers in less than a year since he entered Guanzhong, and Liu Bei himself has become a little used to it.

In addition, with Wei Shen, a disciple of Zhang Ji who is good at treating typhoid fever, by his side to escort him, Liu Bei himself didn't take it too seriously.

But this time, Liu Bei was careless.

His typhoid fever has been going back and forth, and he has never been cured.

And in this regard, Wei Shen also has no way.

Doctors are not omnipotent, and there is an old saying among doctors, "medicine does not kill the disease".

Since he is sick, let go of those government affairs, recuperate well, and after medical conditioning, this bit of typhoid fever, Wei Shen is still sure that he can recuperate Liu Bei's body back as before.

After all, he is the emperor, and there are all kinds of medicinal materials in the palace, so it must be easier to cure diseases than ordinary people.

But Liu Bei not only didn't listen to the doctor's advice, he dealt with official business late every day, and even got busy, not even drinking the boiled medicine, or asked people to prepare when he remembered to drink the medicine. The medicine is not drunk like that.

Wei Shen really tried his best, he persuaded what he should have persuaded, and he also said what he should say, but the other party is the Son of Heaven and the emperor, if he doesn't listen, what can you do? !

And Liu Bei, Liu Bei really didn't mean it.

I have to admit that there is a problem with Liu Bei's attitude towards his body, he really didn't think that a little typhoid fever could really kill him.

But more importantly, Liu Bei also has Liu Bei's own reasons.

Liu Bei's illness this time was concealed throughout the whole process, and he did not leak the slightest rumor to the outside world, and even his daily routine must be the same as before, he must attend the occasions he should attend, and he still has to do what he should do, and he can't give people the feeling that he is sick.

I really can't help it, the political influence is too great, so I have to hold on like this.

Think about it, your front foot has just announced to the world with great fanfare, respecting the heavens and worshiping your ancestors, the momentum is so big, and you will fall ill in bed after you have reaped a wave of political influence, and you can't be a director?!

This thing. What do you make the world think?!

Especially Cao Wei, can they let go of such a good opportunity?!

If you have a slightly better heart, you will also wonder if you Liu Bei was insincere when he worshiped the heavens and worshiped his ancestors, so he was punished by God and his ancestors, if he was a little hearty, he would probably directly declare that Liu Bei's throne is not recognized by God, or even by Emperor Taizu Gao, otherwise why did you just worship Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Taizu Gao did not bless you, but made you seriously ill? !

If this is used to play again, Cao Wei's royal pen sticks can really demonstrate a whole set of arguments of "the mandate of heaven is in Wei, and Liu Bei usurps the rebellion".

And you Liu Bei is not easy to refute, after all, you Liu Bei is really sick.

Therefore, Liu Bei can't get sick, especially at this juncture, he must handle government affairs, meet officials, and attend some occasions that must be attended, so that outsiders can't see the abnormality.

Just held on like this, Liu Bei lasted until late October.

In late October, it was basically winter, and the people began to reduce the frequency of going out, at this time, Liu Bei could breathe a little sigh of relief, relax and take a good rest.

But. It's a bit too late.

The typhoid fever that lasted for more than a month finally hurt Liu Bei's body, which caused problems with Liu Bei's body immunity. In Wei Shen's words, even if it can be cured this time, the root of the disease has already been left.

Once the weather is suddenly cold and hot again, Liu Bei's condition is prone to recurrence, and no one knows how serious Liu Bei's next time he gets typhoid fever.

For this reason, Wei Shen directly found Zhang Xi, asked Zhang Xi to resign, and allowed him to go back to Chengdu to stay in Chang'an again, Wei Shen was afraid of meeting Hua Tuo with the same treatment.

Zhang Xi couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly persuaded Wei Shen.

First of all, Liu Bei's personality is different from Cao Cao, he is not a person who can do that kind of thing.

Secondly, Wei Shen was specially recommended by Zhang Xi to Liu Bei for treatment, no matter what happens in the future, Zhang Xi will definitely protect Wei Shen, if Wei Shen is allowed to go like this, then Zhang Xi's reputation will also be affected.

Finally, if Wei Shen goes back to Chengdu, what can he do if someone on his side is sick.

After the end of the ancestor worship, Liu Bei issued a series of edicts, the main purpose of these edicts is to reward the meritorious officials of the Northern Expedition, which involves the part of Zhang Xi, which is to implement the responsibility of Zhang Xi Yongzhou Assassin History.

For this reason, Zhang Xi wrote a letter to Chengdu early, planning to pick up his family to go north to Chang'an and get together with him.

Along the way, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of travel, and if there is someone who is not accustomed to the water and soil in Chang'an, you have to ask Wei Shen to help treat it.

A good meal of comfort, so that Wei Shen let go of his worries, treat Liu Bei with peace of mind, control Liu Bei's condition, and don't worry about the rest.

Wei Shen reluctantly agreed to stay.

There is no way, although Wei Shen was pit by Zhang Xi from Zhang Ji, but the ancients made a promise, since Wei Shen promised to be a guest in Zhang Xi's mansion and use medical skills to protect the peace of Zhang Xi's family, then he had to do it.

Since Zhang Xi asked him to stay and treat Liu Bei, he naturally couldn't just leave. Go ahead and heal.

And after Wei Shen's treatment for a month, plus Zhang Xi, Pang Tong, and Huang Quan persuaded Liu Bei to recuperate. Liu Bei, who fell ill because of the ancestor worship ceremony, is finally slowly recovering.

Originally, things have come to this point, as long as Liu Bei continues to recuperate with peace of mind and survive this winter and spring, there will probably be no problem.

But Liu Bei didn't do it.

An edict urgently recruited Hanzhong Fazheng, Liu Ba, Chengdu Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Xiangyang Xu Shu, and Wang Ji to rush to Chang'an to discuss matters.

And such a large-scale transfer of important ministers was transmitted to Cao Pi in Luoyang through detailed work, which frightened Cao Pi.

How long has it stopped, Liu Bei, what are you going to do?!!
