He wears a yellow robe just to keep himself warm. Who would believe it if he told me this?
Liu Bei woke up instantly, without any trace of his pajamas.
"Nonsense!"
Liu Bei stood up and wanted to pull off the yellow robe, but saw Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai all kneeling on the ground.
"Sir! Meng Qi! Are you going to trap Bei into being unkind and unjust?"
"Bei devoted his whole life to reviving the Han Dynasty and never had any thoughts of transgression!"
"Now wearing a yellow robe, how is it different from those like Yuan Shu and Cao Pi!"
Liu Bei felt sad, but this was all within Zhuge Liang's expectations.
"We have caused the king to be unkind and unjust today, and he deserves to die!"
Uh-huh!
But he saw that all the generals had drawn their swords from their waists and were about to kill themselves in front of Liu Bei.
Even Liu Bei, who has experienced countless storms and waves, also said that he had never seen this scene of mass suicide!
"What are you doing?!"
Liu Bei stepped forward and wanted to seize Ma Chao's sword, but his strength was limited and Ma Chao was tall and heroic.
This made it difficult for Uncle Liu Huang to reach the sword. He grabbed it, but he didn't move. The emperor and his ministers were in an awkward situation.
"My lord, when I came out of my cottage, I met the king. I have been with you ever since, obeying his advice."
"It is fortunate that your Majesty has occupied the three prefectures of Yi, Liang, and Jing, and he has lived up to my long-cherished promise."
"Now that Cao Pi has usurped the throne, the Han priest will be beheaded."
Zhuge Liang approached Liu Bei and whispered: "The civil and military bureaucrats want to make the king the emperor, destroy Wei and promote Liu, all for the sake of fame."
"If your Majesty is stubborn and refuses, all the officials will be resentful and they will all be dispersed soon!"
"If the civil and military forces are scattered and Wu and Wei come to attack, it will be difficult to protect Yizhou and Liangzhou. It would be better for me and others to die!"
Liu Bei was a little confused, but he finally understood. If he doesn't become emperor, it will be difficult to lead this team!
Once the hearts of the people are dispersed and the civil and military officials have no intention of fighting, when Cao Pi and Sun Quan come to attack, their own country will become a piece of scattered sand.
Liu Bei took a deep breath. A joke he made when he was young under the ancient tree in Lousang Village was now coming true.
"Sir, you might as well tell the ministers to put down their swords first!"
"How is your behavior different from coercion?"
Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly. When Yuan Shu and Cao Pi proclaimed themselves emperors, they had to tell all the civil and military officials to perform the trick of refusing to accept their words many times.
When he arrived, the civil and military ministers threatened him with their lives and asked him to proclaim himself emperor to continue the Han Dynasty.
"If your Majesty does not agree, we will not put down our swords for a day!"
Ma Chao shouted loudly at this time, saying what all the civil and military officials were thinking.
Cao Pi had usurped the Han Dynasty and established itself, and Liu Xie had been killed.
Everyone was using the banner of reviving the Han Dynasty, but in the end the emperor was gone, so what the heck is that?
"Please, my lord, take over the throne and send your troops to attack Chang'an to avenge your late Majesty!"
Pang De shouted, and his men were already carrying two coffins.
"Ling Ming! What are you doing? Are you going to let the master lie in the coffin if he doesn't agree?"
Ma Dai quickly dissuaded him, fearing that Pang De's temper would get worse and he would not be able to distinguish between the big and small kings.
"Bozhan, why are you doing this? I always keep one part of my coffin for the enemy and the other for myself!"
"There is a coffin that has been reserved for Cao Pi! The lord does not agree to proclaim himself emperor, so De would rather die to persuade the lord!"
Liu Bei was stunned. He knew that Pound was different from others. People were just talking about it. But Pound really dared to die to remonstrate!
"I sincerely ask the king to proclaim himself emperor in order to continue the great Han Dynasty!"
The ministers bowed down and bowed again, and Liu Bei had no choice but to agree.
"Forget it, I can promise you, but there must be an auspicious time and auspicious day for ascending the throne."
"Don't worry, my lord, Liang has already calculated it. The Ziwei star is bright today, which is an auspicious time to ascend the throne!"
Zhuge Liang pointed not far away and said with a smile: "Welcome the King of Hanzhong to come to the altar to offer sacrifices!"
Liu Bei pointed at Zhuge Liang. It turned out that Kong Ming had prepared everything long ago and was just waiting for Liu Bei to agree.
The ministers were excited. The lord they had been following for a long time was finally going to leap over the dragon gate today!
Once upon a time, Liu Xuande, a young man from Lousang Village, had to make a living by weaving mats and selling shoes with his mother.
He once swore under the ancient tree in Lousang Village that if he could proclaim himself emperor one day, he would make this tree the emperor's canopy!
"Be prepared, life is like walking on thin ice..."
"The Yellow Turbans have been put down, and they have contributed a lot. There is no one in the court, so Anxi County Magistrate!"
"In the crusade against Dong Zhuo, the three heroes became famous, and the allies were in trouble, but there was no plan!"
"Both tigers and wolves are determined, traitors are messing up the government, they are boiling wine and talking about heroes, and they are running away in the pool!"
"My clothes are covered with bloody edicts, and I help the Han Dynasty. I have spilled all my blood, but my heart is powerless!"
After hearing this, all the ministers, especially the elders such as Jian Yong and Sun Qian, could not help but shed tears.
Only they know how much blood and tears Liu Bei paid for the Han Dynasty!
"We were defeated in Xuzhou, lost our beloved son, hibernated in the new country, lost and found again!"
"After three visits to the thatched cottage, I felt like a fish in water. I cooperated with the traitors and was full of pride!"
"The army of Changban was overthrown, but my beloved son Long woke up and led the people across the river. The traces of a gentleman are clear!"
"Thousands of hardships, Jin Lan walks with him, Zhang Zhao Yun is imprisoned, ten thousand people are invincible!"
Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and recalled that day in Wollongong, Longzhong, when he saw the lord and his son for the first time!
It was just three visits to the thatched cottage that completely changed the gears of everyone's destiny!
Everything in Jingzhou also gave Liu Bei the capital to compete for world supremacy!
"The red cliff is in flames, the rafts and oars are burned up, and Cao Cao's ambitions are burned to the ground!"
"Put the four counties of Jingnan into your pocket, take Jiaozhou to the south, and seek Shu land to the west!"
"There are many Liangzhous in the north, and the Western Regions are surrendered. We march eastward with the same great ambition!"
Liu Bei was holding a double sword at this time and dancing with the sword in front of the generals to add to the fun.
At this time, he realized how heroic Cao Cao was in writing poems.
He did not have Cao Cao's literary talent, but he summarized his life in the simplest words!
"Lord..."
Zhuge Liang's voice trembled, and everyone understood that their lord finally survived today!
"Qiao Zhou!"
"Master, I'm here!"
Qiao Zhou, as Liu Mang's royal writer to smear Cao Cao, immediately went on stage to read the memorial text.
"The Han Dynasty ruled the world without borders. In the past, Wang Mang usurped and robbed, Emperor Guangwu was so angry that he executed him, and the country was restored.!"
"Today, Cao Cao blocked his troops cruelly and killed his queen. His crimes were heinous. Cao Cao Pi Zai was ruthless and rebellious and stole the artifact."
"The officers and soldiers thought that the Han Dynasty sacrifice had been deposed, so they prepared to postpone it and follow the second ancestor Wu to carry out heaven's punishment."
"Being afraid of the unscrupulous emperor who will disobey the throne, he consulted the common people, as well as the emperor Xiahuang, and he said: The destiny cannot be ignored, the ancestral inheritance cannot be replaced for a long time, and the world cannot be left without an owner. Take the lead and look forward to it, and be prepared for someone."
"Being afraid of the fate of the sky, and also afraid of heights and that the work of light will fall to the ground, I would like to choose an auspicious day, go to the altar to offer sacrifices, receive the emperor's seal and ribbon, and visit the four directions. But the gods will feast on the Han family, and they will always be honored."
After thinking about this, Zhuge Liang took out something and completely shocked everyone.
"Pass the country's jade seal!"
Ma Chao's voice trembled and he asked in confusion: "Sir...this...what is going on?"
Pang De took a deep breath, "How come the imperial seal is in our hands?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "This is what your Majesty did!"
Liu Bei took the imperial seal and glared at everyone.
"That nonsense must be that traitor's idea!"
