In the middle of the night, Guan Yu finally came to the end of his life.

This 10,000-strong enemy who had been on the battlefield for decades, the founding father of the Han Dynasty, died of illness between the beds.

However, Guan Yu's life did not leave any regrets, just in the first half of the month, he also led the army to destroy Wenpin, leaving a strong mark on his achievements.

Everyone in the room was awakened by Zhang Fei's wail, Liu Chan walked to the side of the bed and saw that Guan Yu was no longer breathing at the moment, and his body began to stiffen, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there was no pain when he wanted to leave.

"Father!"

"Second uncle!"

"Second brother!"

They fell to their knees in front of the bed and wept bitterly.

Ma Liang, Pan Jun and other officials did not rest, they were all waiting outside the room, and when they heard the crying in the room, they walked in one after another.

"Junhou goes all the way!" A group of officials knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Second brother, second brother, why did you abandon me, second brother...... Second brother! Ahem......"

Zhang Fei's cry was the loudest, crying and crying and suddenly coughing, blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and his body rushed forward.

"Third uncle!" Guan Xing knelt next to Zhang Fei, and when he saw Zhang Fei fainting, he hurriedly helped Zhang Fei up.

"Zhang Rong!" Liu Chan hurriedly stepped forward with Guan Xing to help Zhang Fei to the small collapse, and the famous doctor Zhang Rong was sent to treat Zhang Fei.

Zhang Rong was also waiting here, and hurriedly stepped forward to treat Zhang Fei, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the third general is caused by excessive grief and impatience." As long as you prescribe conditioning, you can be fine. ”

"That's good!" Liu Chan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he quickly became sad again, he was afraid that Guan Yu's death would cause a blow to Zhang Fei, and he couldn't think of torturing himself, causing his body to deteriorate.

Liu Chan didn't have time to think about these troubles for the time being, so he waved his hand and said, "Send the third uncle to rest first." ”

"No!"

Liu Chan patted Guan Xing's shoulder on the side and said, "Although the second uncle is gone, I am also very sad in my heart. But he is one in seventy, and it can be regarded as a joy and mourning, you don't have to be too sad, your body is important, and you have to preside over a big mess left. ”

"Well, Your Majesty, don't worry, I can save it!" Guan Xing nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Liu Chan nodded and said, "You keep vigil here first, and I will go and discuss with others the future generations of the second uncle and his old man." ”

"Your Majesty should also focus on the dragon body, don't be too tired." Guan Xing nodded, walked to the bed and knelt down. The ancients believed that a person would return home for a visit three days after death, so children had to keep watch and wait for the soul to return until the burial was put into the coffin.

Liu Chan looked at Pan Jun and Ma Liang, and motioned for the two to come out.

The three of them walked out of the room, Liu Chan said: "The second uncle is the general of my Han Dynasty, and now that he is an old man, he must be buried in a beautiful manner. Therefore, the body of his old man must be transported back to Chang'an for a funeral. ”

Liu Bei's mausoleum has already arrived in Chang'an from Chengdu, and the mausoleum of Guan and Zhang has actually been repaired a long time ago, and it was established together when Chang'an Huiling was built. The mausoleum of the two is located next to Huiling, with Guan Yu on the left and Zhang Fei on the right. It can be regarded as allowing their three brothers to be together forever after death.

Pan Jun groaned: "But now that the weather is hot, if you return to Chang'an for a funeral, I am afraid that the body will not be able to survive for a long time." In Jingzhou, you can still make ice coffins for storage, but you can't do it on the road. ”

Liu Chan was also a little embarrassed when he heard this, now it is the hottest time of the year in August, and the corpse will appear in the giant view when stored at this temperature for two days, and he wants to transport it back to Chang'an for a funeral, and the corpse will be seriously corrupted at that time, what should I do with this funeral?

As for disposing of the corpse, it is even worse, this is not a special situation, using medicine to dispose of the corpse is a last resort, Guan Yu is now dying of natural illness, if this method is used, it is a blasphemy for Guan Yu.

Ma Liang groaned: "It is better to leave the body of the prince in Jingzhou first, bury it in the coffin first, gather the officials of the country to come to worship, and then transport it back to Chang'an for burial on the auspicious day of the selected good day." ，”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Now it's the only way to go!" Immediately flew a pigeon to send a message to Guanzhong, in addition to the necessary left-behind officials, ordered the great Sima and other civil and military personnel to come to Jingzhou immediately to attend the funeral.

After asking the calendar official to divinate and choose the time, the rest of the miscellaneous matters were also handed over to the two of them. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this is what a minister should do!" The two nodded, and bowed their hands.

After a person dies, the time of burial and burial need to be divined and selected.

However, Guan Yu's body was first transported from the bedroom to the main hall of the mansion, and in order to delay the decomposition time of Guan Yu's body, Ma Liang prepared a large amount of ice to cool down.

Overnight, the Gangneung Thorn Mansion hung white flags, and the sound of crying in the mansion never stopped from day to morning.

The people who got up early in the morning passed by the government and were surprised to see the white flags hanging up from the government office.

The government is the office of the imperial court, even if Pan Jun, the assassin of Jingzhou, dies, he has to go home for a funeral, who is going to go now? With such a big face, he actually held a funeral in the Assassin's Mansion?

It's just that these people don't know that they are still a little aggrieved to hold a funeral in the Assassin's Mansion as General Guan Yu.

That night, Ma Liang sent out the flying pigeon and went to Guanzhong to report the news.

The principle of the flying pigeon is that the pigeon knows the direction and knows the way home. Of course, a pigeon cannot fly hundreds of thousands of miles, between Chang'an and Jiangling, in fact, there is a pigeon road, every 100 miles, there is a pigeon base. It's like a relay to pass step by step to achieve the purpose of sending a message.

Coincidentally, Chang'an happened to receive the news that Liu Chan pacified Wancheng and captured Nanyang, and it rained heavily for a day during the day, and the weather was cool at night.

The ceremony was reported in the Da Sima Mansion, Zhuge Liang was the first on the high seat, and His Royal Highness was a group of civil and military officials, three dukes and nine secretaries, and dignitaries were all listed.

"Your Majesty has captured Nanyang, and the next step is to attack Xuchang and go north to Luoyang."

"Yes, it seems that my Han swept away the pseudo-Wei, and the day of dominating the world is just around the corner."

"Zilong, I'm happy to accompany me today, so I won't get drunk or return."

"Uncle Zhi has a drinking nature, and he should accompany him in the next."

All the civil and military officers were very happy, and Zhao Yunchen sat with the two of them, even more than the amount of wine.

Zhuge Liang sat in the first place, but there was not much joy on his face.

Xu Shu walked over, looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, but you have encountered troubles?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the somewhat gloomy night sky, sighed and said: "Recently, I watched the sky at night and found that the brightest star in the Ziwei Star Palace was extremely bright two days ago, but today it suddenly dimmed, as if it had disappeared. ”

Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this, although he didn't know much about the stars, but he knew that Zhuge Liang was an expert here, so he asked: "Who should this star star be the main murderer and the main auspicious?" ”

Zhuge Liang looked at Xu Shu and said: "If the stars are dimmed and eliminated, the main culprit will be natural." The crape myrtle star symbolizes the emperor, and the brightest general star naturally refers to the ......"

"Cloud Chief?" Xu Shu's face changed.

Zhuge Liang nodded, looking at the sumptuous food on the table but had no appetite at all.

Xu Shu thought for a while and said: "Kong Ming, you don't have to worry about the sky, the light and darkness of the stars are natural principles, and they may not necessarily be able to deal with people." ”

Xu Shu said and looked at Zhuge Liang, only to see Zhuge Liang looking at the sky in a daze.

Following Zhuge Liang's gaze, he saw that among the northern crape myrtle stars, a star that was originally still hanging in the sky flashed a few times and then completely dimmed and could no longer be seen.

Xu Shu's body shook, and an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at Zhuge Liang, I saw that Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of tears: "Yun Chang is gone, Yun Chang is gone!" ”

"Kong Ming is silent!" Xu Shu hurriedly pulled Zhuge Liang, now is the time to celebrate, isn't it a disappointment for him to say this, if he is wrong, it is even more ......

At this moment, many officials have already looked at it.

Zhao Yun heard Zhuge Liang seem to say Guan Yu, so he walked over and asked, "The military advisor seems to have said Yun Chang just now, but what news did Yun Chang have from him?" ”

Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said, "Yun Chang has already left us and gone to see the first emperor first." This banquet is gone, so let's go back and pack our luggage and prepare to go to Jingzhou. ”

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this: "Yun Chang went?" When was this? ”

"Go back and pack your bags." Zhuge Liang waved his hand, turned around and walked into the mansion.

"This ...... What happened to the general? I haven't seen anyone send me any news! ”

"Yes, if the general is gone, why do you report the banquet tonight? Where did the news come from? ”

"Forget it, I still don't drink this wine, Da Sima's words are always right!"

Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu with a blank expression: "Shang Shuling? Is this news true or false? ”

"I don't know!" Xu Shu spread his palms and looked embarrassed.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuge Liang sat in the palace of the Great Sima, and the hall was full of adjutants of the Great Sima Mansion.

Zhuge Liang said to the officials below: "After I leave, you will be responsible for the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion, each performing its own duties, and each doing its own way without the slightest confusion." ”

An official walked out and arched his hand: "Da Sima, the astrological theory is ......."

"Report ......"

Before the official could finish speaking, an attendant suddenly ran in: "The most urgent letter from Jingzhou was delivered overnight last night. ”

The official who spoke just now was stunned, the letter that Jingzhou sent urgently last night was ......

"Da Sima!" The official hurriedly took the letter and handed it to Zhuge Liang.

"I'm not looking!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand, afraid that after reading the letter, it would cause sadness again.

When the official saw that Zhuge Liang didn't look at it, he opened the letter himself, and at first glance, it was like a thunderbolt.

"The general, he ...... He really went! ”

"What ......"

"This ......"

The other officials were dumbfounded.

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, took out a piece of paper from the table, and said: "Now that the weather is hot and the clouds are gone, the body cannot be transported back to Chang'an for the funeral, but its mausoleum is built in Chang'an." Therefore, Your Majesty will let me go to Jingzhou to worship Yun Chang.

These are the lists of officials who need to be notified, I have already ordered people to prepare the carriages and horses, you should quickly send someone to inform you, you will leave in the afternoon, and I will now enter the palace to inform Guan Guifei. ”

The official holding the letter nodded: "That's what the letter says, it's true, the weather is hot, the body of the general is difficult to survive for a long time, let the big Sima, you take people to Jingzhou as soon as possible to worship, the sooner the better." ”

"Hmm!" Zhuge Liang nodded, handed the list to the adjutant, and then got up and headed for the palace.

Guan Yu's daughter Guan Feng needless to say, of course Guan Yu has to go when her father dies. Zhang Fei's woman is also going, and the heirs of the two are also going to Jingzhou to worship together.

After the officials went back last night, they didn't take Zhuge Liang's words to heart, only Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Xu Shu and a few others packed up.

It wasn't until Zhuge Liang sent someone to inform them to go to Jingzhou to attend Guan Yu's funeral that these Guan Yu realized that what Zhuge Liang said last night was true.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang had already prepared, and at noon that day, a group of officials gathered outside the city, these were all officials in Chang'an City, and some of the other local officials also needed to go to Jingzhou to worship, but Zhuge Liang couldn't wait, so he could only bring the officials from Chang'an over first.

"Don't be sad, Queen Mother." In the carriage in the middle, Guan Feng cried like a tearful person, and in her arms was an eight-year-old boy who looked very much like Liu Chan, who was Liu Chan's eldest son, Liu Xiu. At this moment, she was holding an embroidered handkerchief to wipe Guan Feng's tears.

On the side, Zhang Xingcai was holding a five-year-old girl in his arms, Liu Ping, Liu Chan's fourth child.

Xiu, Qi, Zhi, Ping This is the name that Liu Chan has long set.

When Guan Feng heard this, his eyes turned red again, and he hugged Liu Xiu and cried bitterly: "Xiu'er, your grandfather is gone." ”
