Liu Bei's Tuo Gu, in fact, there is really no sword and sword, and there is no arrangement of any sword and axe hands, that is purely a person with a bad heart who lives with himself, and is not ashamed but proud.

Liu Bei in history just believes in Zhuge Liang, the sentence "you can take it yourself", not to say ten percent, at least ninety percent, is sincere.

There is no way, the Ji Han regime at that time, after the Battle of Yiling, the elite was lost, the treasury was empty, and the loss of Jingzhou was equivalent to cutting off half of the Han Dynasty's body to survive, which was a miracle among miracles.

Therefore, Cao Pi and Sun Quan at that time both thought that the Ji Han regime was no longer a threat, and it was okay to leave it to fend for itself, so there was no need to do anything at all.

It was also at that time that Cao Pi launched three campaigns to conquer Sun Quan in the south, and Sun Quan also set his sights on the threat of Cao Wei in the north, and no one cared about what waves a person who was already dying could toss.

In this case, Liu Bei said the words "You can take it for yourself", he was really not testing Zhuge Liang, he just didn't want to bury the foundation he had worked so hard to build in the hands of himself and his son.

This kind of pattern is really not available to ordinary people, especially those emperors who pay more and more attention to "I am the world" in the future, and they really can't understand Liu Bei's pattern.

But in this day and age, it's not uncommon for people to make the same choice.

For example, Sun Cetuo Gu Zhang Zhao said something similar to Liu Bei - "If Zhong Mou does not do anything, you will take it yourself." is not overcome, slowly returning westward, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Could it be that when Sun Cetuo was alone, he also ambushed the knife and axe man at home?!

Therefore, ah. It's far away, and the water is a few hundred words.

At this time and space, the Han Dynasty has already reached Guanzhong, and the Ji Han regime is far from being in a precarious state and may be destroyed at any time, so Liu Bei has no need to talk to Zhuge Liang about what "you can take it yourself".

This time, Liu Bei's entrustment of orphans was carried out in the presence of the three important ministers.

To Zhang Fei, Liu Bei recounted the righteousness of the three Taoyuan, and talked a lot, while Zhang Fei was crying bitterly while listening carefully.

Zhang Fei cried to the end, and Liu Bei was sad and helpless.

Summoning softly, calling Zhang Fei to the couch, Liu Bei stood up with his heavy body, stroked Zhang Fei's cheek with his own hands, helped him wipe away his tears, and said, "You, you're almost sixty people, how can you still be like a child. Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, why be sad?! ”

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, Zhang Fei cried louder, didn't speak, and lay down in front of Liu Bei's couch, crying loudly.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei with a doting face, stroked Zhang Fei's head with his hand, patted it twice, and said, "Third brother, in the past, our three brothers Taoyuan oath, I'm afraid we are going to break the contract for brothers." Helpless, for the brother is really not in good health, you have to go first, you have to be sad, but also tell the second brother, do not practice yourself, and take care of your body, inherit the will of the brother, and revive the Han family. I hope that next time, our brothers will reunite, and the two virtuous brothers can bring good news to the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty for my brothers. ”

Zhang Fei didn't look up, just bowed his head in front of Liu Bei's couch, crying, shaking his head for a while, nodding for a while, grabbing Liu Bei's arm tightly with both hands, just unwilling to get up.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei's posture, he also smiled bitterly, held back the tears in his eyes, and looked at Zhuge Liang.

"I am proud to be the prime minister, and I am fortunate to become the emperor. He was intellectually shallow and failed to realize his long-cherished wish with the prime minister. Today is not a holiday, and death is on the verge of death. The heir is weak, so he has to trust him with great things, hoping that the prime minister will live up to his trust. ”

Zhuge Liang hurriedly fell to the ground, and said with a crying voice, "May Your Majesty protect the dragon body and hope for the heavens!" ”

Liu Bei laughed when he said this.

"When will the prime minister learn to say such nonsense?!" Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang, "You and I know each other, don't the prime minister know my thoughts now?!" Birth, old age, sickness and death, the principle of nature, how can I be afraid?! Those who can't rest assured, only the revival of the Han Dynasty is incompetent and cannot realize such long-cherished wishes, and in the future, everything will be entrusted to the prime minister! ”

Zhuge Liang suddenly couldn't help it, fell to the ground, choked up and said, "Minister, you will live up to Your Majesty's trust, only to do your best and die." ”

Liu Bei frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's sentence "after death". Lao Tzu is going to hang up, but how old are you, it's okay to talk about "just after death"?!

But. The prime minister is in too sad mood.

Continuing to turn his head, Liu Bei looked at Zhang Xi.

Zhang Xi's eyes were also red at this time.

Although the relationship between Zhang Xi and Liu Bei is not as iron as Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, after more than ten years of getting along, if you want to say that you have no feelings at all, it is also false.

And there is one thing to say, Liu Bei is really serious about Zhang Xi, and he really dares to use it. This kindness of knowing is not simply the feeling of a wage earner for his boss.

Coupled with the emotional filter of the previous life, now that Liu Bei is dying, Zhang Xi said that he is not sad, it is impossible.

The only thing that can still make Zhang Xi feel relieved is that Liu Bei is in Chang'an City, not in White Emperor City, which is more or less a pity for Liu Bei.

Liu Bei didn't know what Zhang Xi was thinking, and also said to Zhang Xi, "Xinye has to meet Yuan Chang, which is a blessing in my life." For more than ten years, the Yuan Chang has helped me to gain Yizhou, occupy Jingxiang, and the Northern Expedition to thieves, and in one fell swoop, I have treated you badly! ”

Zhang Xi's eyes were red and his nose was sour, but as soon as Liu Bei said this, Zhang Xi was a little stupid.

"Your Majesty. Why did Your Majesty say this?! Zhang Xi asked stupidly.

Liu Bei smiled and explained, "In the past, in Jingzhou, the chief of the Yuan was not yet married. I hesitated at the time, wouldn't it be a disadvantage to the chief?! ”

Zhang Xi blinked his eyes, looking confused.

Unexpectedly, when the emperor of the Han Dynasty was entrusting himself, he actually said such old things, which is somewhat out of tune.

Besides, if this word reaches the ears of my daughter-in-law. You're always fine, so I can't say anything.

Zhang Xi was dumbfounded, and Liu Bei, who was looking at it, suddenly laughed, and this smile, the sad atmosphere of the scene where he laughed directly has weakened a lot.

Zhang Xi was still stupid and didn't know what to do, but then, Liu Bei suddenly coughed, interrupting his laughter.

Seeing this, Zhang Xi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body." ”

I really don't know what to say, so I can only say this panacea. Now Zhang Xi understands a little why Zhuge Liang said the same similar thing just now.

There's really nothing to say, but I can't help but say it, so I can only say everything.

Liu Bei suddenly wanted to laugh a little again, but the cough stopped him from doing it so well, and it was not easy for him to stop coughing for a while, Liu Bei recovered his mind a little, and regained some strength, and then said, "How can Yuan Chang also learn from the prime minister. Forget it, the right person jokes, Yuan Chang doesn't have to take it seriously. ”

Zhang Xi didn't dare to pick up the stubble anymore, so he could only lie on the ground and say nothing.

Liu Bei paused slightly and continued, "I have indeed treated Yuan Chang badly. With the merits of the Yuan Chang's southern expedition and northern war over the years, and the strategy of Dingding Sheji, now the official is not a former general, and the military department is still a book, and he is indeed a little wronged. Since I ascended the throne, there have been few things to reward Juelu, in the past few years, only Huang Hansheng, Fa Xiaozhi because of the merit of the seal of the Inner Marquis, Yide from the Xincheng Pavilion Marquis to the Marquis of Xixiang to the Marquis of Xixiang to the Marquis of Bolu, in order to show the merit of the Yuan Chang, but also hope that the Yuan Chang will not live up to my expectations. ”

As soon as Liu Bei's voice fell, Zhang Xi was still in a daze, and Zhuge Liang already looked up in surprise.

Bo Luhou?!

I turned my head again and saw Zhang Xi's ignorant appearance. It seems that the chief doesn't know what this Bo Luhou means.

There is one thing to say, Zhuge Liang at this time has some mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhang Xi really doesn't know the meaning of Bo Luhou, and Liu Bei doesn't mean to wear it, everything depends on Zhang Xi to think about it himself, or. He was told.

All in all, Liu Bei can be regarded as having completed the last orphan ceremony in his life, well, it is still a little close.

After Liu Bei explained the matter of entrusting the three of them, he asked Wu Yi to take Liu Yong and Liu Li into the house to meet them.

didn't talk nonsense, let the two young sons help up Zhuge Liang, who was still kneeling on the ground, and then directly let the two young sons kneel down in front of Zhuge Liang.

This kneeling frightened Zhuge Liang, and he was busy trying to support the two little princes.

But Liu Bei stopped Zhuge Liang's movements and said to his two sons, "You and others all remember my words: after my death, the three brothers will be prime ministers as fathers, and they should not be neglected." ”

As soon as Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground again, and the mixed feelings in his heart before disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Although the minister's liver and brain are smeared, An can repay the kindness of the encounter!"

Liu Bei hurriedly asked people to help Zhuge Liang up again, and then stared at his two sons seriously, asking them to formally bow to Zhuge Liang and sit on the relationship.

Then, Liu Bei raised his head, looked at Zhang Xi, Wu Yi, and Zhang Fei who was still lying in front of his bed, and said, "I ordered the heir to be the prime minister with his father." All the secretaries are witnesses, and they hope that they will not slack off and bear their hopes. ”

At this moment, Zhang Xi, Zhuge Liang, and Wu Yi all knelt on the ground, and Zhang Fei also took half a step back, knelt down in front of the couch, and said in unison, "The ministers dare to disobey the work of dogs and horses!" ”

After saying this, Liu Bei waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat, and he was still lying on the bed.

After that, Liu Bei's physical condition began to become erratic, sometimes he could get out of bed and walk when his condition was better, and sometimes he fell asleep for several days in a row.

Until the beginning of June of the fifth year of Zhang Wu, Liu Bei was seriously ill and was unconscious for ten consecutive days.

Finally, on June 17, he died of illness in Chang'an Palace.
