Chapter 92 The King is Immediately (Please read it! Please vote!)
Furious, Liu Bei immediately ordered the king to return to Chengdu and sent people to summon all the ministers in Chengdu in advance.
Liu Bei, who was halfway back, felt that Wang Jia was walking too slowly, so he simply ordered someone to fetch a horse, and then, under the protection of his personal guards, he impatiently headed towards Chengdu.
Liu Bei's eager look made the Yizhou ministers who accompanied him look at each other in confusion.
Even during the Battle of Hanzhong, they had never seen Liu Bei so anxious.
What happened in Jingzhou?
It’s no wonder that these local officials in Yizhou didn’t know.
Since Liu Bei captured Yizhou, most of the important positions in the regime were given to most members of the Yuancong and Jingzhou factions.
The rest will be given to the officials in the Dongzhou faction.
Regarding the ministers of the Yizhou native faction, Liu Bei has always adhered to one principle: respect vanity and seize real power.
If they didn't have any real power, how could they be the ones traveling with Liu Bei today?
Those ministers with real power were busy in the official offices of Chengdu.
In the city of Chengdu, they were the only ones free.
But soon, they all felt bitterness in their hearts.
Liu Bei was a king on horseback, and his riding skills were very good. He disappeared in front of everyone in a short while.
However, most of these Yizhou courtiers usually live in a dignified manner and only talk about Confucianism and Taoism, and their riding skills have been neglected for a long time.
Now they are required to drive horses very fast, and most of them are old and frail, which will almost kill them.
But they don't want to take a break.
They have political ambitions and do not want to miss such an important parliament.
When Liu Bei's urgent summons to the ministers reached the palace, the drums in the palace rang in response.
When the majestic drum beat sounded, the guards in the palace kept Liu Bei's order in mind and divided into dozens of teams.
They rode high-headed horses and galloped through the streets and alleys of Chengdu.
Liu Bei was afraid that it would be too slow to summon the ministers with the sound of drums, so he ordered the palace guards to go directly to various official offices and mansions to summon all the important ministers in Chengdu.
When the palace guards, all covered in fine armor and with red feathers on their heads, rode horses and galloped around Chengdu, their actions destroyed the originally bustling downtown into a state of panic.
The people of Chengdu originally wanted to complain a few words instinctively, but after seeing that it was the palace guards running around conveying the king's orders, they all consciously kept their mouths shut.
The entire huge city of Chengdu instantly boiled like boiling water because of Liu Bei's inner eagerness.
Under Liu Bei's various urgent orders, all the important officials in Chengdu rushed to the palace.
Many ministers are even still dealing with official duties, and their hands are still stained with ink marks.
But because of Liu Bei's urgency, they couldn't even wash themselves up first.
Under such an urgent call from the king, all the ministers in Chengdu couldn't help but have a question in their minds.
Is the big man's sky about to fall?
Finally, under Liu Bei's urgent summons, most of the ministers in Chengdu had gathered in the Chaode Hall of the palace before Liu Bei returned to the palace.
And Liu Bei, who was dressed in royal uniform, had a look of exhaustion on his face because he was running so fast.
After all, he is no longer young, he is nearly sixty years old.
But when he saw that all the important officials in Chengdu had arrived in the main hall, his face looked better.
As soon as Liu Bei appeared at the entrance of the palace, all the ministers waiting in the palace focused their attention on him.
None of them understood what made Liu Bei so anxious.
Although Liu Bei's tall body was old, he never showed any signs of rickets.
Under the attention of all the ministers, he walked into the hall with his head held high and sat on the throne.
Then he was eager to discuss matters and even stopped the ministers in the palace from saluting early.
He asked Liu Ba, who had been following him, to explain the urgent military situation in Jingzhou to the ministers in the palace.
This military letter was written by Guan Yu himself.
Although Mi Fang had earlier written a letter asking for reinforcements and sent it to Chengdu.
But his military report was sent to Shangshu Taichung almost at the same time as Guan Yu's.
As a minister, Liu Ba chose Guan Yu's military report as the main material of the report.
Liu Ba stood in the main hall, his face flushed at this time.
It's tiring.
He also knew that the military situation was urgent, so before he had time to slow down, he spoke to the ministers in the palace and said:
"The former general of Jingzhou is reporting urgently: Sun Quan from Jiangdong wants to take advantage of our Jingzhou army's northern expedition to sneak attack on Jingzhou."
"Shangyong Mengda, General Liu Feng repeatedly failed to follow the orders of the former general and did not send troops to support the former general."
In Guan Yu's report, of course, he said more than just these two sentences.
But now it was a matter of discussion among the ministers, so Liu Ba selected the two most important points to report.
After Liu Ba finished speaking, more than a hundred courtiers in the palace had a look of shock on their faces.
Among the more than a hundred ministers, only a few ministers quickly regained their composure on their faces.
Those who can be summoned by Liu Bei to the palace to discuss matters are all wise and resourceful people.
After listening to what Liu Ba said about the urgent military situation, they quickly realized how powerful the influence behind Liu Ba's two simple sentences was.
Big enough to overthrow the current Liu Bei regime!
Almost as soon as Liu Ba finished reporting the military situation, the ministers in the palace started a dense discussion.
Now is the time when Liu Bei's power is on the rise, and most of the ministers in the palace are loyal to the country.
Therefore, after learning the news, they were filled with indignation.
This is the second time, who can bear it!
Seeing the indignant attitude of all the officials in the palace, Liu Bei felt very relieved.
These were all promoted by him single-handedly. The generation full of vigor and hope in his power today has indeed not disappointed him.
But at this moment, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly turned cold.
It is necessary to send troops to support, but he will also make some people pay for their mistakes.
One of them, in particular, made him feel very sad.
Liu Bei asked in a majestic tone to the ministers in the palace, "Meng Da and Liu Feng have repeatedly resisted military orders and refused to send troops to assist Yunchang. What crime should they be punished for!"
When Liu Bei said this, the entire hall fell silent instantly.
If we discuss what Meng Da's crime should be, there will naturally be many suggestions.
But when talking about Liu Feng, everyone kept silent.
Although Liu Feng is not Liu Bei's biological son, he is not an adopted son, but a stepson!
In terms of name, Liu Feng is Liu Bei's eldest son.
Such an identity made the ministers who were unsure of Liu Bei's next plan dare not speak out on their own.
Seeing that all the ministers were silent, Liu Bei had a look of regret on his face, and he said with sadness and anger,
"Although Sun Quan had an alliance with Gu, after all, he and Gu were both princes in the world. He betrayed his alliance and attacked Gu. Although Gu was angry, he was not sad."
"Ran Feng'er! He is my son, why don't you respect the king's order?"
"When Gu Zaiyunchang sent troops to the Northern Expedition, he had already been given the right to use the holiday axe."
"Those who give false holiday axes are like the king coming in person."
"He and Meng Da dared to disrespect the king's orders while Gu was still alive. What will happen in the future?
How can I tolerate being alone!"
