Mi Yang, who had been galloping back from Huashan, noticed hundreds of ministers kneeling outside Liu Bei's chamber when he first arrived.
At the same time, hundreds of ministers realized Mi Yang's return and raised their heads to look at him.
As the two looked at each other, the miserable expressions on the faces of hundreds of Han ministers were clearly noticed by Mi Yang.
After seeing this scene, Mi Yang's most unwilling speculation seemed to suddenly come true.
At this moment, Mi Yang did not care about the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. Under the gaze of hundreds of ministers, Mi Yang walked straight into Liu Bei's bedroom.
Going to the palace with swords and shoes, entering the court without being followed, and being praised and worshiped without recognition. These are the three honors Liu Bei bestowed on Mi Yang.
It can be said that even with these three honors, Mi Yang rarely used them.
Unexpectedly, the first time Mi Yang used such privileges was under such circumstances.
After entering the dormitory, Mi Yang smelled a strong medicinal smell in her nose, and saw a look of surprise on her face, which was as golden as paper.
Under Liu Bei's expectant gaze, Mi Yang ran to Liu Bei's bed as fast as she could in her life.
Then a sad cry rang out, and Mi Yang knelt in front of Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty, I'm late!"
Listening to Mi Yang's sad and guilty cry, and looking at the dusty Mi Yang in front of him, Liu Bei seemed to have encountered something extremely happy. It was now his deathbed, but at this time the smile on his face was
Always in bloom.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back.
Get closer to me."
As his vitality gradually passed away, Liu Bei's eyes were no longer functioning well.
Liu Bei found that even though he was close at hand, he could not see Mi Yang's appearance clearly.
But how can this be done?
At Liu Bei's call, Mi Yang quickly took a few steps forward, but Liu Bei still felt unsatisfied.
"Sit next to me."
While saying this, Liu Bei moved his weak body with difficulty, leaving a space for Mi Yang to sit on his couch.
Mi Yang did not dare to neglect Liu Bei's words and actions.
Under the attention of everyone in the palace, Mi Yang stood up and sat down on Liu Bei's couch.
After Mi Yang just sat down, Liu Bei, who was finally able to see Mi Yang's face clearly, immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Mi Yang.
Liu Bei seemed worried that he would not be able to see Mi Yang in the next moment.
It's not that Liu Bei thinks Mi Yang will leave him, it's that he wants to leave Mi Yang.
After feeling the real touch in his hands and feeling the constant warmth from Mi Yang's hands, Liu Bei said with satisfaction:
"God is still not kind to me."
"When I was young, I met Yunchang and gained virtue. From then on, I had a brother who would never leave me in life or death.
I met Kong Ming in middle age. From then on, I no longer hesitated about myself, nor did I lament that the Han Dynasty would never be restored.
I have to meet you in my old age."
When he said this, Liu Bei paused subconsciously.
After a brief pause, Liu Bei continued: "Since then, I finally have the confidence to shout out the lifelong dream of "Second Patriarch Siwu"."
"Returning to my dreams at midnight, I sometimes wonder, when did it start that you gradually became comparable to the Marquis of Huaiyin?
Obviously when you were young, your talents were not outstanding.
But I kept thinking about it, and kept thinking about it, but in the end I couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps Emperor Xiaowu also had my doubts and sighs when he was alive.
You and Huo Dashima are both too dazzling, so dazzling that it makes people feel unreal.
But it’s also so dazzling that it fills me and the big man with pride.”
While talking, Liu Bei asked with a smile:
"You were ordered to go to Huashan to pray for the people of the world, but I know that when you kneel at the feet of the gods in the sky, the first words in your heart must be for me.
Yes or no?"
Facing Liu Bei's inquiry, Mi Yang nodded silently with tears in her eyes.
After receiving Mi Yang's affirmative answer, Liu Bei seemed to have heard something very gratifying. He couldn't help but patted Mi Yang's hand and said happily:
"Silly boy, stupid boy.
All the gods in the sky are sealed by me, how can they interfere with my lifespan?"
Although Liu Bei did not believe in ghosts and gods, Mi Yang's filial piety still made him happy.
Then Liu Bei pulled Mi Yang's hand to his chest, and at the same time Liu Bei's eyes signaled Liu Chan to come forward.
When Mi Yang and Liu Chan were both in front and behind him, Liu Bei's cloudy eyes kept struggling to capture the figures of Mi Yang and Liu Chan.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chan took the initiative to put his hand into Liu Bei's other hand.
After holding Liu Chan's hand, Liu Bei was overjoyed. He quickly intertwined Mi Yang's and Liu Chan's hands tightly.
"Taizong once said: The birth of all things in the world is without death; the dead are the principles of heaven and earth and the nature of all things. How sad is this!
Regarding death, I have the same attitude as Taizong, and I am not afraid of it.
But as a father, there are some things I have to say.
You two are both my children in my heart.
Among the three auxiliary ministers I have selected, Zi Sheng is the youngest. It is foreseeable that in the future, the only auxiliary minister of the Han Dynasty will be Zi Sheng.
Cao Pi and Sun Quan are both good at plotting and scheming. After seeing my death, there is no guarantee that they will not use some plotting and scheming to drive a wedge between the emperor and his ministers.
Even if there is no external cause and people's hearts are strange, there will still be people with ulterior motives in the Han Dynasty.
Power often changes people easily. I don't want you two brothers to have any resentment because of power one day in the future.
The modern Han Dynasty was founded on friendship, and I hope this friendship can continue forever.
Sir, can you promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you will treat Zi Sheng like I did my two uncles, Yun Chang and Yide, without any doubts and trusting me wholeheartedly?"
When he asked this question, the strength in Liu Bei's hands suddenly increased, and even his eyes became blazing.
Feeling the strength from Liu Bei's hand, Liu Chan nodded hurriedly at Liu Bei.
"My child swears here that he will never trust Da Sima in his life!
No matter how much affection the parents have, the children will definitely have a beginning and an end!"
After hearing Liu Chan's assurance, Liu Bei slowly let go of his hand with relief.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mi Yang on the side was already moved by Liu Bei's words and was moved beyond words.
Only at this moment did Mi Yang understand why Zhuge Liang was so moved when Liu Bei was left alone in history.
Liu Bei believes in friendship, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have some worries.
But when faced with those worries, the object of Liu Bei's suspicion was not the ministers, but his own son.
"If there is any failure, then Liu Bei doesn't want to think about it. It is his descendants who have failed you."
It is this attitude that makes any conscientious minister not burst into tears with gratitude?
Is there any conscientious minister who would not sacrifice himself to death because of Liu Bei's attitude?
Only virtuous and virtuous, only virtuous and virtuous!
Mi Yang cried and bowed before Liu Bei's bed, unable to utter a word.
I just couldn't help but pause.
After Liu Chan made his promise, Liu Bei then looked at Mi Yang:
"Zisheng, can you promise me something?"
Hearing Liu Bei suddenly say this, Mi Yang quickly looked up at Liu Bei and replied:
"Your Majesty, please tell me, I will die to do it!"
After Mi Yang answered, Liu Bei said with emotion:
"I heard that after death, there may be spirits underground.
But the spiritual period will not last long, and he will eventually be reincarnated as a human again.
If this is true, I will wait for you underground for ten years.
Within ten years, can you set up a sacrifice to heaven and earth in my hometown of Zhuoxian to comfort me?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei had a look of shame on his face.
"The ten-year period may be rushed, but I'm worried that I won't be able to wait underground for too long."
The implication of Liu Bei's words couldn't be clearer. Liu Bei hopes that Mi Yang can break through the entire Cao Wei within ten years!
Only by accomplishing this can Mi Yang pay homage to Liu Bei's spirit in heaven in Liu Bei's hometown, Zhuoxian.
However, Cao Wei's strength still existed, and siege warfare was different from field warfare, so in every aspect, the ten-year period was indeed a bit short.
But in the face of Liu Bei's dying wish, and considering how kind Liu Bei was to her, how could Mi Yang have any concerns?
Under Liu Bei's expectant gaze, Mi Yang put his finger to his mouth and bit it, then Mi Yang smeared the bloody finger on his lips.
When her lips were covered with her own blood, Mi Yang looked directly into Liu Bei's eyes and said firmly:
"Your Majesty will wait for me for ten years. Within ten years, I will attract you with the incense of thousands of families in Zhuo County, so that your Majesty's heroic spirit will appear in the sky above Hebei to watch our dynasty conquer the world!"
After saying these oaths, Mi Yang bowed to Liu Bei three times.
What Mi Yang promised was the most solemn blood oath in the world.
With the official at hand, Mi Yang's blood oath will definitely be recorded in the history books.
It can be said that Mi Yang staked his life-long honor on this oath.
But Mi Yang felt no regrets at all.
The king treats his ministers as dear friends, and the ministers will repay him as dear friends!
I fulfilled my last wish for my father, what else can I say about regrets?
Mi Yang's decisive act of swearing made Liu Bei burst out laughing.
Even though laughing affected the pain in his body, making him cough violently while laughing.
But Liu Bei still didn't stop laughing.
When he is about to die, it is the most regrettable thing in the world to see a descendant who can inherit his legacy.
When the laughter gradually subsided, Liu Bei lay on his back on the soft bed.
At this moment, Liu Bei's thoughts became increasingly blurry.
At this moment, Liu Bei read out the edict he had long thought about:
“My initial illness was diarrhea and ear disease, but later it became complicated with other illnesses, and I was almost unable to help myself.
When a person is fifty, he is not called a child, and he is already over sixty years old. Why should he regret it again, or hurt himself, but he can only think of the common people in the world.
In today's world, everyone likes life but hates death. They are buried with honors and favors, and their families are ruined by heavy clothes. I would not take it.
The order of chaos in the world depends on me alone; the safety of the people depends on me:
I am not virtuous and cannot benefit the people;
Today, I am ordering the imperial court to reduce the amount of money and food, to lighten the corvee and pay less in taxes, and to recuperate and recuperate, so as not to make our people live in unrest!
I won the Baozong Temple and supported the people of the world with my body for more than a few years.
Thanks to the spirit of heaven and the blessing of the country, the country is initially settled, and the war gradually subsides.
I am not sensitive and am often afraid of doing something wrong to shame the legacy of my ancestors.
Now I am fortunate to be able to support you in the high temple again in my natural life. I am full of ridicule and sorrow!
He ordered the officials and people in the world: after the order arrives, and within three days of coming out, all of them will be free from the disease; there is no prohibition on taking wives, marrying off daughters, worshiping in temples, drinking alcohol, and eating meat;
Those who are expected to attend the funeral ceremony should wear no crotch; the scarves should not exceed three inches; no chariots and weapons should be worn; no people should come to the palace to cry; those who should come to the palace should all perform the ceremony with fifteen syllables on day and night.
;
It is forbidden to cry unless it is an emergency. After being placed in the coffin, serve for fifteen days for major merits, and for fourteen days for minor merits, for seven days before release.
Those who are not in the order will all work in analogy with the order.
I can't bear to see him buried in a martyrdom, an act that harms others.
I have issued an edict that starting from me, the great Han Dynasty will no longer perform sacrifices and burials. If future generations of kings disobey it, the world will reject it!
Announce it to the world so that my intentions are known."
After finishing the above edict to the people of the world, Liu Bei continued:
"The world is in chaos and has not yet been unified.
Prince Chan is young and cannot protect the country.
Now I order Zhuge Liang, the prime minister, Zhang Fei, the general, and Mi Yang, the chief minister, to serve as auxiliary ministers. They will imitate the story of Duke Zhou and govern according to the rules, and I will be honored with special grace!"
After all the major state affairs were arranged, Liu Bei finally looked at Liu Chan. At this moment, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with the love of a father:
"The public heir heard:
Do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small. Only the virtuous and virtuous can obey others.
Your father has a weak virtue, so don’t imitate him.
I am ashamed of Ji Yu. You should make him the King of Shu and take him back to Chengdu to ensure that he has a long line of descendants and endless honor.
You can also read the Han Dynasty, the Book of Rites, Jian Xia Li Guan Zhuzi and Liu Tao, and the Book of Shang Jun, which will benefit people's mind and wisdom.
Don’t forget the oath you made today!”
By the time he said the last sentence, Liu Bei had exhausted all the strength in his body.
The thoughts in his mind became more and more chaotic, and the breathing between his noses became more and more difficult.
Perhaps because his life was coming to an end, Liu Bei had hallucinations at this moment.
In front of Liu Bei's eyes, two mausoleums suddenly appeared, and above the two mausoleums, there were two old men wearing the imperial robes, looking at him from a distance.
Beside the two old men, there were many people dressed as ministers, including military generals holding sharp swords and civil servants holding fluorene tablets.
It can be vaguely seen from the appearance of those people that they are all famous ministers famous in the history books of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years.
Xiao He, Zhang Liang, Han Xin, Cao Shen, Fan Kuai, Guan Ying...
Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Ma Yuan, Geng Yan, Feng Yi...
The identities of the two old men standing in front of the many famous ministers are about to be revealed.
Looking at the two ancestors and the many famous officials of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's eyes became blurred and moist.
He saw the great man at his best.
But what Liu Bei didn't expect was that when they saw him lying on the couch, the two ancestors of the Han Dynasty, with many famous officials behind them, paid him a deep bow.
For them, they also saw their best offspring today.
The great Han Dynasty felt honored to have Liu Bei as his descendant.
The Han Dynasty also prospered again because of Liu Bei's descendant!
Liu Bei, who had been recognized by his ancestors, had already been soaked with tears.
He was a little at a loss and subconsciously looked behind him.
Liu Bei thought that at this moment, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Mi Yang and others should also be standing behind him.
Liu Bei wanted his two ancestors to see them.
But when he looked behind him, there was nothing behind him.
Just when Liu Bei was hesitant, a pair of strong hands instantly held him. When Liu Bei looked up, he saw a figure that haunted him.
"Second brother!"
Not only Guan Yu, but at this moment in front of Liu Bei's eyes, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and other ministers were all looking at him with smiles and smiles.
"Your Majesty, we are here!"
Liu Bei was extremely happy to see them. Under Guan Yu's guidance, Liu Bei's figure kept approaching them, getting closer and closer to the two ancestors of the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, in the ears of the ministers, Liu Bei left his last words in the world:
"They're coming to pick me up!"
When Liu Bei said these words, a long-bright lamp in the palace also lost its light in an instant.
The next moment, the hall was covered in surging cries.
Emperor Han collapsed!
