Chapter 403: The Son of Heaven Dies
Liu Chan retreated, and after coming out, he conveyed Liu Bei's will and let Zhuge Liang enter the room.
Zhuge Liang entered Liu Bei's room, came to the bed and sat down, Liu Bei took out a scroll of holy decree from his sleeve, handed it to Zhuge Liang tremblingly, and said: "I don't read, I know the general idea." Sage Cloud: The bird is dying, its song is also mourning, and the man is dying, and its words are good. I was supposed to kill the Cao thief with Qing and help the Han family together, but unfortunately said goodbye.
After my death, I asked Kong Ming and the prince to escort my coffin back to Chengdu, read this edict to the civil and military ministers, and help the prince ascend the throne. I hope that Confucius will teach me more, and I will entrust you with the great cause of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the revival of the Han Dynasty. ”
"Weichen Command!" Zhuge Liang had already burst into tears, knelt on the ground, raised his hands above his head, and received the holy decree.
Liu Bei originally returned to the light, no different from ordinary people, after Zhuge Liang received the holy decree, Liu Bei suddenly felt a trance, and his body unconsciously fell towards the bed.
"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang was shocked, and hurriedly helped Liu Bei to lie down on the bed: "Weichen is going to send a divine doctor over." ”
Liu Bei waved his hand, his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his tone gradually became intermittent: "No...... No need, I will die soon, even if the divine doctor comes, it will not help, you go and pass on the clouds quickly...... Wing De comes in. ”
"No!" Zhuge Liang retreated, put away the holy decree, and called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in.
"Big brother!" When the two came to the room, they also knelt on the edge of the bed.
"Second brother, third brother!"
When Liu Bei saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a smile appeared on his face, and his right hand trembled and raised.
The three brothers had the same mind, and Guan Zhang and the others hurriedly stretched out their hands and held Liu Bei's hand, and the three hands were tightly clasped together.
Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and said to the two: "It has been nearly forty years since you and my brothers got married in Taoyuan.
However, because my brother is terminally ill and his life is on the line, I am afraid that I will break my oath and take the first step. ”
Zhang Fei burst into tears, crying like a child: "If the eldest brother leaves, I don't want to live alone." ”
Guan Yu also choked up and said: "Big brother, if you take the first step, our brother will definitely follow, with the righteousness of the whole Taoyuan." ”
"Nonsense!" Liu Bei glared at the two of them and scolded: "Adou is young, and he still needs the assistance of the two of you, our three brothers are like brothers, you are alive, you are still alive......"
Liu Bei said, his voice softened, like a pleading, and like a hope: "I also want you to watch Adou overcome the Central Plains, and return to the old capital, Luoyang, Chang'an, for me to be the capital of the Han Dynasty, but I haven't seen it in my life, you two live well, and you will go to see it for me in the future, okay?" Yes? ”
"Big brother!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded, knelt down in front of the collapse and cried bitterly.
"One of you is a general, the other is a general of the chariot cavalry, and you are still crying, and you are not ashamed. Now that my brother will take the first step, I have a word to tell, and I hope you two will listen to it. ”
Liu Bei stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on the faces of the two, and admonished: "Yun Chang, you are arrogant, you regard the heroes of the world as grass mustard, and despise the scholars, after I leave, you must listen to the advice of others in everything, and don't take the enemy lightly."
Yide, you act recklessly, like to drink heavily, and whip the soldiers, after I die, you must not do this, you must treat the soldiers well, otherwise you will not be blind to the death of your brother. ”
"Remember to teach!"
"Okay, go ahead, your sister-in-law and nephew all call in."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei exited the room, and called the four brothers and sisters including Gan's, Mi's, and Liu Chan in.
And they came in and fell on their knees by the bed.
Liu Bei first said to Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi: "Prepare for the rest of the life, wandering for half a life, fortunately the two ladies, even if they are poor, they have always been with each other, husband and children, until today's prosperity."
Now that Bei is about to pass away, although Adou is young, he abides by filial piety and is virtuous, only Yong'er, Li'er, and Ting'er are young, I can't rest assured, after preparing for death, I hope that the two ladies will take good care of them, and they will not seek to raise them to become talents, and they must not be evil......"
"Husband......" Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Mi choked up and nodded.
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he looked at Liu Chan and the other four brothers and sisters, and said with a short breath: "For the father...... After death, you brothers must go on a blind date...... Love each other, don't ...... Cannibalism ......, Adou, I can only be Ting'er, this one daughter, can you ...... in the future But you must find a good family for him......"
"The retainers obey the ......"
"Come here, and let my father ...... again Father, take a good look at ......"
When the four of them heard this, they moved towards the bed for a few minutes, Liu Bei's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Ting, and he reached out to wipe away the tears on Liu Ting's little face, but the dry hands didn't touch Liu Ting, so they hung down weakly.
Looking at Liu Bei again, there is only the qi that comes out, and there is no qi that enters.
"Your Majesty!"
"Father!"
Suddenly the room resounded with the cries of the people.
When the people standing outside the temple heard this cry, their faces changed greatly, and they entered the temple one after another.
Guan Zhang and the others rushed straight to the collapse, and when they saw that Liu Bei was dead, they lay on Liu Bei's corpse and cried bitterly.
When everyone saw this, they knew that Liu Bei had died, and they all fell to their knees, losing their voices in pain.
In terms of governing the country and using soldiers, Liu Bei's skills are average, but his ability to buy people's hearts is rarely compared to Liu Bei in the entire Three Kingdoms.
And they wept in the room for an hour, and they lost their voices.
At this time, Zhuge Liang stood up and said to everyone: "Now that Your Majesty has died, we should obey the will of the first emperor, escort the coffin of the first emperor back to Chengdu, and ask the prince to ascend the throne to inherit the unification!" ”
Liu Chan turned back to Zhuge Liang and said, "Lonely and chaotic, this matter will be handled by Da Sima!" ”
"No!" Zhuge Liang gave up his hand.
The next day, Zhuge Liang prepared the coffin, collected Liu Bei's body, and led the troops to return to Chengdu with Liu Chan and others to help Liu Bei's coffin.
Now it is close to May, the weather is not hot, it is not cool, the corpse is not easy to survive for a long time, everyone let the soldiers and horses behind, first help Liu Bei's coffin and walk, all the way to the horse and whip, day and night, Rao is so, it took ten days to arrive in Chengdu.
At this time, in Chengdu, the civil and military ministers also knew the news of Liu Bei's death, and a group of civil and military personnel, sergeants, and ordinary people all wore linen and filial piety, and went out of the city for thirty miles to welcome Liu Bei's coffin.
Taichangqing Zhang Song is responsible for managing the royal temple, sacrifices, and funerals, and has already prepared a mourning hall.
A group of civil and military people helped Liu Bei's coffin to enter the mourning hall, and Zhang Song, Taichangqing, presided over the sacrificial ceremony, officially held a funeral ceremony, and accepted the worship of the civil and military ministers.
