Chapter 388 ascended the throne and became emperor

Early the next morning, Liu Bei took Liu Chan to visit Zhuge Liang.

Entering Zhuge Liang's mansion, until the collapse, Liu Bei sat on the edge of Zhuge Liang's bed, grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and asked: "I heard that the military advisor is seriously ill, and I have come to visit, I don't know what disease the military advisor is suffering from?" Can you ask a miracle doctor to see it? ”

Zhuge Liang was lying on the bed, his face was quite ruddy, not like he was sick, but he looked weak, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Liang is worried, I am afraid that my life will not be long!" ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What is the military advisor worried about, how can it be related to life?" ”

"Hey!" Zhuge Liang sighed and shook his head silently.

Liu Bei asked again and again, and Zhuge Liang said: "Liang has come out of the house, he has to meet the lord, and he has been with him so far, and he has obeyed his words.

Now Cao Pi usurped the throne, the Han Dynasty will be beheaded, the civil and military bureaucrats, Xian wants to serve the lord as the emperor, destroy Wei Xingliu, and strive for fame, I don't want the lord to be stubborn and unwilling, all the officials have grievances, and they will soon be scattered.

If the civil and military forces are scattered, Wu and Wei will attack, and the two rivers will be difficult to protect. Can Liang'an be worried? ”

Liu Bei sighed and said: "If you are not prepared to push back, if you are ready to be called the emperor, I am afraid that the world will criticize you." ”

Zhuge Liang retorted: "Sage Yun: If the name is not right, it is not good, if today's son is killed by Cao Pi, there is only one lord left in the Liu family, and only the lord has the ability to bear the burden of continuing the Han Dynasty and rejuvenating the Han Dynasty."

Now that the lord is the emperor, it can be said that it is justified, and the people of the world will only support it, what is there to discuss? Don't you listen to the heavens and take the blame, but suffer from it? ”

"Now it's the third time, but I can say yes." Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, secretly said in his heart, and immediately said to Zhuge Liang: "After the military division recovers from his illness, it is not too late to act." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this: "If the lord can agree, Liang will be cured without medicine!" ”

Zhuge Liang said, jumped in from the bed, strode to the side door, opened the side door, and a group of civil and military generals rushed in, and arched their hands towards Liu Bei: "Since the lord has agreed, please choose a day to hold the enthronement ceremony!" ”

"You ......" Liu Bei didn't expect that all the civil and military officials were also here, and he was speechless in surprise.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "The lord said, as long as Liang's illness is cured, he will do the matter of being the emperor, and now that Liang has recovered from his illness, the lord must not regret it!" ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Trap me in the unjust, all Qing and others!" ”

A group of civil and military officers did not care, and they were all overjoyed.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "The prince can help the lord to go back to the house to rest, and at this time, you can leave it to us to do it!" ”

"It's good!" Liu Chan nodded and helped Liu Bei back to the mansion to rest.

After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang said to the crowd of civil and military officials: "Now that the lord has agreed to be the emperor, the enthronement ceremony will be held on the next day."

Lai Min, Xu Ci, and Meng Guang ordered the three of you to take charge of the ceremony, and be fully responsible for the ceremonies of the lord's enthronement.

Zilong, Wen Chang, order the two of you to lead 5,000 soldiers to build an altar in the south of Wudan outside Chengdu......

Yuan Zhi, Youzai, Gong Heng ordered the three of you to announce to the people of the world, and invite the people of the Quartet to come and watch the ceremony......"

Soon, Zhuge Liang arranged Liu Bei's claim to be emperor one by one.

Fast forward to May 15, 221 A.D.

In the past two months, Liu Bei stayed in the mansion every day to recuperate, and Liu Chan handled official affairs every day, and did not ask the slightest question about the matter of becoming the emperor.

On this day, the sky was clear, and Zhuge Liang sent someone to prepare the Son of Heaven Luan to welcome Liu Bei to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

The Son of Heaven drove the car, unlike others, the horses pulling the carriage were six, which was the highest specification, and Liu Bei took the carriage to the outside of Chengdu.

Liu Chan followed behind in the car, following Liu Bei.

Soon, the father and son arrived at the altar, where the platform was three stories high, each with nine steps and a height of about 27 meters.

Under the stage, there were officials of all sizes in Chengdu, with nearly 1,000 generals, all of them full of energy and smiles.

The 50,000 armor soldiers stationed in Chengdu lined up around the stage, all of them with bright armor and shining swords and guns.

In the future, tens of thousands of people in Chengdu came to watch the ceremony.

In addition, there are also Jiangdong envoys, envoys of barbarian kings from all over Nanzhong, and envoys of ethnic minorities such as the Qiang people who are friendly with Liu Bei in the Wudu area.

With the support of Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan, Liu Bei ascended the altar, lit incense and candles, and worshiped heaven and earth.

Zhuge Liang held the sacrificial text in his hand, stood on the steps below, condescendingly, and read the sacrificial text aloud: "But the 26th year of Jian'an, April Bingwushuo, the 12th day of the Yue Ding Si, the emperor prepared, dare to announce to the emperor Tianhou soil:

Han has the world, and the history is boundless. Wang Mang usurped the thief, Emperor Guangwu was angry and punished, and Sheji was restored. Now Cao Cao is cruel to stop the army, and after killing the master, the crime is heinous; Zipi, carry the ferocious rebellion, steal the artifact.

The group of soldiers thought that the Han Dynasty was degenerate, and it was advisable to extend it, and the two ancestors of the heirs of Wu bowed to the heavenly punishment. Fearing the throne of the Emperor without virtue, he consulted the common people, and the ruler of the wilderness, and said: The mandate of heaven cannot not be answered, the ancestral industry cannot be replaced for a long time, and the four seas cannot be ownerless. Led by the soil style, in preparation for one person.

Fearing the destiny of the heavens, and fearing the karma of high and light, he will fall to the ground, choose an auspicious day, go to the altar to make sacrifices, receive the emperor's seal, and touch the Quartet. Only the gods feast on the Han family, and the eternal Sui calendar! ”

Zhuge Liang announced that he had finished calling the emperor the sacrifice to heaven and earth, and Liu Bei also finished worshipping heaven and earth.

At this time, the two ceremonial officials ascended the altar, both of them held trays in their hands, and one tray was placed in the emperor's seal, that is, the jade seal of the country.

However, the jade seal of the Han Dynasty is currently in the hands of Cao Pi, and Liu Bei ordered someone to make it today.

In the other tray, there are twelve flat heavenly crowns, that is, crowns, commonly known as hats.

It is the number of beads on the front and back of the hat, made of white jade, the general secretary can only use five, the three princes are seven, only the emperor can use twelve, the front and back twelve, a total of twenty-four.

The jade seal was held by the ceremonial officer and brought to Liu Bei.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Please take the seal and crown Your Majesty." ”

When the ceremonial official holding the Pingtian crown heard this, he wanted to take the Pingtian crown and put it on Liu Bei's head, Liu Bei stretched out his hand to stop it, and said to Zhuge Liang: "If you have no talent, please choose a talented and virtuous person to accept it!" ”

Zhuge Liang said unhappily: "Your Majesty has pacified the four seas, and his merits are known in the world, and the situation is the Han clan, so it is appropriate to be on the throne." The situation has been sacrificed to the gods, what can I do! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he didn't stop the official.

The ceremonial official put the twelve flat heavenly crowns on Liu Bei's head, and another ceremonial official stepped forward with a jade seal in his hand, and Liu Bei took the jade seal and held it high.

"Weichen Zhuge Liang greets Your Majesty!"

"Erchen greets Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang Liu Chan hurriedly knelt on the ground.

The civil and military officials, soldiers, soldiers and civilians below also bowed to the ground one after another, calling out to Your Majesty.
