Chapter 391 The storm is coming and bursts of crying
As the crown belt was surrounded by many tigers and beni, more news about the Great Court meeting soon spread throughout the city of Chengdu at an extremely fast speed.
Weiwei Mi Zhu accused many Yizhou families of treasonous intentions in court. The two protagonists in this news had great influence in Chengdu.
And when these two protagonists coexist in an incident, and the incident is charged with conspiracy, the chain reaction of the incident is very strong.
Soon the originally peaceful city of Chengdu fell into violent turmoil.
Many people have realized that a storm unprecedented in modern Han Dynasty is about to wreak havoc in Chengdu.
This storm will soon spread to the entire Han Dynasty, and even have a certain impact on the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that the matter has reached this point, and under the charge of treason, no matter how much turmoil it will cause, it is impossible for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to stop.
Compared with the great turmoil they are about to face, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang believe more in the principle of "no destruction, no establishment".
And many people who were associated with the Yizhou family in the past have fallen into a state of panic.
However, under the threat of Huben's powerful military power, those people could do nothing for the time being.
They could only huddle in their respective mansions, silently praying that they would be safe and sound in the coming storm.
Of course, despite the huge shock among people in Chengdu, there has been no unrest in Chengdu for the time being. On the one hand, this is because most of Chengdu's military power is in the hands of people loyal to Liu Bei.
On the other hand, it is because of Zhuge Liang's personal charm.
With Zhuge Liang's good reputation, a large number of people believe that as long as they are innocent, Zhuge Liang will never use this incident to exclude dissidents and implicate innocent people.
The reality is exactly what some people think.
Although Zhuge Liang ordered his troops to surround Guandei, most of the Yizhou families in Chengdu still retained their superficial dignity until formal evidence was announced.
Zhuge Liang's actions have greatly reduced the possibility of people with malicious intentions deceiving people and causing unrest.
It's just that no matter what kind of panic people are facing in the streets and alleys outside the palace, the palace where Liu Bei lives generally maintains a calm situation.
Because Mi Zhu doubled the number of Huben guards in the palace one step ahead, and the generals who commanded Huben were basically his cronies.
Under these measures, it was enough to ensure the absolute safety of the palace where Liu Bei lived.
Mi Zhu's previous order to Mi Wei was never for attack, but for protection.
Mi Wei didn't understand Mi Zhu's good intentions, but Liu Bei did.
After Mi Zhu fainted in front of Liu Bei, Liu Bei, while worried and anxious, immediately ordered people to carry Mi Zhu to his dormitory and summoned the imperial doctor to treat Mi Zhu.
As time goes by, the entire city of Chengdu has been covered in pitch-black night.
But at this late night, the lights in Liu Bei's dormitory, which should have been extinguished long ago, were still brightly lit.
In Liu Bei's bedroom, which was brightly illuminated by many candles, Liu Bei sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Mi Zhu lying on the bed with a worried look on his face.
From early morning to night, a long time had passed since Mi Zhu passed out, but Liu Bei had been staying by Mi Zhu's side.
Even though his old body did not have enough energy to support him in doing so, Liu Bei never left Mi Zhu's side.
He hoped that the first thing Mi Zhu saw when she woke up was him.
This is the only thing he, the emperor, can do at this time.
Although he holds the greatest power in the world, when it comes to matters of life and death, the methods he can use are extremely pale.
And this is not the first time Liu Bei has faced such a thing.
Perhaps Liu Bei would feel unwilling, angry, and resentful when he faced him for the first time, but after receiving several consecutive blows, Liu Bei's mood was only filled with endless sadness.
Perhaps God took pity on Liu Bei's hard work. At some point in the middle of the night, Mi Zhu's eyelids moved slightly while lying on the bed, and then he gradually woke up from his coma.
Liu Bei, who had been paying attention to Mi Zhu's situation, was of course the first to notice Mi Zhu's awakening.
Seeing that Mi Zhu showed signs of waking up, Liu Bei's face showed great joy.
In his joy, Liu Bei's movements were not slow.
He immediately fetched a glass of water from the table next to the bed, then helped Mi Zhu up to drink water.
Liu Bei rarely took the initiative to take care of others. According to common sense, he would not act like this subconsciously.
It's just that in the past few years, he personally saw off Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Fazheng, Guan Yu and others, so Liu Bei knew that at this time, the first thing Mi Zhu wanted to do after waking up was to drink water.
As Liu Bei expected, when Mi Zhu just woke up, his mind had not yet fully recovered.
So when faced with the water that was offered to his mouth, he drank it without thinking.
After the warm water entered her stomach, Mi Zhu's consciousness was quickly recovering.
When Mi Zhu regained most of his consciousness, he realized belatedly that the person feeding him water was Liu Bei. This scene immediately put a look of shock on Mi Zhu's face.
At the same time, Mi Zhu also recognized by observing the furnishings in the palace that he was currently in Liu Bei's dormitory.
When he realized this, Mi Zhu struggled to get up and apologize to Liu Bei regardless of his physical weakness.
The place he was in was Liu Bei's bedroom, so the bed he was lying on was naturally Liu Bei's royal couch.
Is it possible for the emperor's royal couch to lie down on it?
However, Mi Zhu wanted to get up but was stopped by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei took Mi Zhu's hand and said to him: "Don't move, otherwise you will disobey my will."
Liu Bei's words seemed very harsh, but his tone was quite gentle. It was obvious that he wanted to use such words to make Mi Zhu stop getting up.
Sure enough, Mi Zhu immediately stopped getting up after listening to Liu Bei's words.
For a loyal minister like him, the most unacceptable thing is disobedience.
Seeing that Mi Zhu didn't want to get up anymore, Liu Bei's face became even more joyful.
Liu Bei stretched out his hand to tighten the brocade quilt around Mi Zhu. He was worried that his Mi Jun would catch cold.
Ordinary ministers could not even enter Liu Bei's bedroom, let alone lie on Liu Bei's imperial couch.
But this restriction obviously does not apply to Mi Zhu.
After comforting Mi Zhu, Liu Bei stared at the sluggish Mi Zhu with a pitiful expression.
Mi Zhu has always been known in the Han Dynasty for his majestic appearance, but now Mi Zhu looks like a withered man, without even half of the charm he once had.
And isn't the reason why Mi Zhu is in this situation all because of him?
During his years of exile, Liu Bei faced death several times.
It was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu and others around him who used their bodies as shields to protect Liu Bei from dangers one after another.
Mi Zhu's leg disease started at that time.
Mi Zhu's leg disease is also the biggest reason why he has been sick in recent years.
In addition, Liu Bei just learned from the imperial doctor that Mi Zhu may have taken drugs to stimulate vitality in the past few days.
Taking such medicine can make Mi Zhu no different from ordinary people for a short period of time, but once the effect of the medicine wears off, Mi Zhu will only die.
It was impossible for Mi Zhu not to know the consequences, but he still did it.
After learning the truth and thinking about what Mi Zhu had done at today's meeting, Liu Bei's emotions could not be calmed down for a long time.
This is his origin.
Although they are not relatives, they are better than relatives.
Facing Liu Bei's considerate action, Mi Zhu's face showed a look of extreme gratitude.
To be able to receive such favor from his master before his death, he would die without regrets.
At this moment, both Mi Zhu and Liu Bei knew in their hearts that they were about to be separated forever.
But perhaps it was precisely because both of them were mentally prepared for this that there were not many sad emotions emerging between the monarch and his subjects at this time.
After covering Mi Zhu with a brocade quilt, Liu Bei deliberately told Mi Zhu some interesting stories about the two of them getting along in the past.
In the past few decades, Liu Bei and those who followed him have not lived well.
But for those who have ideals in their hearts, the objective environment of suffering is not enough to defeat them, as long as they can walk with like-minded people.
Therefore, in their past years of struggle together, many interesting things happened between the monarch and his ministers.
Liu Bei was a good storyteller, and under his deliberate amusement, Mi Zhu couldn't stop laughing at the interesting things in the past.
Just smiling, Mi Zhu and Liu Bei fell silent, with some tears in their eyes.
Many interesting things in the past happened not only between Mi Zhu and Liu Bei.
Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Guan Yu and others are all co-components of those interesting stories in the past.
But these people are no longer here.
Thinking of this, no matter how hard Mi Zhu and Liu Bei controlled their emotions, they could not avoid becoming less sad.
After a long silence, Liu Bei said to Mi Zhu in a low tone: "I promised you back then that when the Han Dynasty is restored in the future, we will rein in Chang'an together and share the wealth.
It’s just that the great cause has not yet been accomplished, why do you all abandon me one by one?
I really want to keep you here, I really do.
But even though I am the emperor now, I cannot do this."
At this point, Liu Bei's words were filled with tears.
He really tried his best.
When Mi Zhu was still in a coma, Liu Bei used the emperor's power to intimidate him and use the emperor's power to reward him heavily.
But what he got from many imperial doctors was always only four words - there is no way to save him.
There are times when the emperor is helpless.
Listening to Liu Bei's words, Mi Zhu also shed tears on her face.
If there is really a way, he does not want to leave the master he has served his whole life. Presumably Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Guan Yu and others also think the same.
Unfortunately, matters of life and death cannot be reversed by human power.
All he can do is be loyal.
Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei who was crying in front of him, and he thought about getting up and wiping the tears from Liu Bei's face.
I still remember that every time Liu Bei was defeated in a battle, he would cry in front of them because he felt that he had failed to live up to their expectations because of his incompetence.
At that time, he and several others would step forward to hug Liu Bei, wipe away his tears, cheer each other up, and meet to get back on their feet.
The evaluation of being defeated but not defeated should not only belong to Liu Bei, but to his entire entrepreneurial group.
Without such a group silently supporting Liu Bei from behind, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to reach this day.
This kind of friendship is difficult for others to understand, but it is the most precious memory between Liu Bei and Minister Yuan Cong.
It's just that although Mi Zhu wants to get up, his current body cannot support him to do so.
After standing up slightly, Mi Zhu soon fell directly onto the bed due to her physical weakness.
This scene frightened Liu Bei and quickly helped Mi Zhu up. He also knew what Mi Zhu wanted to do.
So he wiped the tears on his face, then suppressed the urge to cry and asked Mi Zhu:
"Mi Jun, if you still have any unfulfilled wishes, tell me and I will definitely fulfill them for you."
Liu Bei knew that Mi Zhu was ready to leave at any time, so he wanted Mi Zhu to have no regrets before leaving.
In response to Liu Bei's question, Mi Zhu coughed violently for a few times, and then slowly said:
"Following Your Majesty is a blessing in my life, and I have never regretted it.
It's just that I am also a mortal, and I can't help but feel nostalgic for my family.
Among the descendants of the Mi family, only Zisheng is talented and talented, and it will be up to him to support the Mi family in the future.
After my death, my humble clan should be used to let him succeed me, and I will entrust him deeply to your majesty. I hope your majesty can satisfy my request."
After saying these words, Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei with pleading eyes.
In that pleading look, there was still a hint of fear.
Although today's turmoil against Mi Yang was successfully settled by him, what if he is gone in the future?
No matter how far in the future, what if Liu Bei is no longer here?
Liu Bei, who knew Mi Zhu very well, could see his worry in Mi Zhu's eyes.
Seeing that Mi Zhu was so worried, Liu Bei felt uncomfortable.
Mi Zhu, who had devoted his whole life for him, was worried about his clan before he died. This was because he, the lord, had not done enough.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei came close to Mi Zhu's ear and whispered to him:
"A hundred years from now, Zi Sheng will be one of the auxiliary ministers.
A hundred years after Kong Ming's virtues, Zi Shenghui would be the head of the auxiliary ministers.
I believe in him as much as I believe in you."
Liu Bei's two sentences are not only his promise to Mi Zhu, but also his arrangements for the future of the Han Dynasty.
After Mi Zhu heard Liu Bei's words, a look of extreme gratitude appeared in his eyes again.
I didn't expect Liu Bei to have such arrangements for Mi Yang's future.
And with such an arrangement, what else does he have to worry about?
After receiving Liu Bei's promise, Mi Zhu no longer had any worries. Without the support of his thoughts, his life force passed rapidly through his body.
A gust of breeze blew through the hall and blew out a candle in front of Liu Bei.
When the candle went out, Mi Zhu's head finally fell weakly on Liu Bei's shoulder.
Feeling the weight on his shoulders and realizing that Mi Zhu was gone, Liu Bei could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart. His tears fell drop by drop on the hands he and Mi Zhu held tightly.
Another relative left him.
In the silence of the night, bursts of sobbing came from Liu Bei's bedroom.
Those bursts of sorrow and crying represent the indescribable sorrow in the heart of the Han Emperor.
But not long after, an edict came out of the palace at an extremely fast speed.
"Summon the Prime Minister into the palace quickly."
