Su Xianxian was very surprised, and Yu Yi said with a bad smile: "Let's get down to business first!" In this way, there were no other chores, and Yu Yi had a very relaxed life, except for setting up banquets every day and dating Chengdu's business celebrities and political elites. , just playing songs every night, after several days, Yu Yi felt some back pain.
At this time, Kong Ming, Taifu Xu Jing, and Doctor Guanglu came to visit. Yu Yi welcomed them in and asked why. It turned out that Cao Pi had usurped the throne and established himself as the emperor, and the original vision of the Han Dynasty had collapsed. Kong Ming thought of pulling a minister to persuade Liu Bei to proclaim himself emperor.
Yuyi arranged for his servants to bring tea, and only heard Qiao Zhou say: "There have been auspicious signs of auspicious winds and clouds recently. There is a yellow air tens of feet high in the northwest corner of Chengdu, rising into the sky. You can see the Emperor Star in Bi, Wei, and The Pleiades are as bright as the moon. This is a sign that the King of Hanzhong should succeed to the throne and continue the Han Dynasty. What is there to doubt about it?" After speaking, Qiao Zhou glanced at Yu Yi, and he observed that Yu Yi The Emperor's Star also appeared above the mansion, which I found very strange. As an old astronomical analyst, I didn't know how to explain this phenomenon. Later, when Kong Ming came to visit, he followed the trend and told one of the signs about the accession of the King of Hanzhong to the throne. , as for the other one, it can only be buried in my heart.
Yu Yi nodded and said: "Now that Cao Pi has abolished the Han Dynasty and established himself on his own, the central system has collapsed. If my eldest brother continues to claim the throne, it will inevitably cause ridicule among the people in the world and betray the hearts of the people. I think we should gather civil and military forces to jointly advise my eldest brother to inherit the throne. Continuation of the Han Dynasty system.”
So Kong Ming, Yu Yi and others separately persuaded the big and small bureaucrats and jointly petitioned the King of Hanzhong to inherit the throne. After reading the letter, the King of Hanzhong looked very surprised and said: "The bones of Emperor Xian are not yet cold. By doing this, you will plunge me into disloyalty and unrighteousness!"
Kong Ming said: "No, Cao Pi usurped the throne of the Han Dynasty. The king is an authentic descendant of the Han Dynasty and should continue the tradition of the Han Dynasty."
Yu Yi was also about to express his thoughts, but when he saw Liu Bei furious, he said: "How can I be compared with a traitor, doing the same thing." After saying that, he walked away and entered the harem. Everyone looked at each other helplessly. Zhong had no choice but to leave.
Three days later, Kong Ming led everyone into the court again and invited the King of Hanzhong to come out. Everyone knelt down and worshiped. Xu Jing said: "Now that the emperor of the Han Dynasty has been killed by Cao Pi, if the king does not ascend to the throne and raise troops to attack, then the real thing will be There is no one in the world who does not respect the king as the monarch. I hope that the monarch will avenge Emperor Xiaomin. If you cannot follow the advice of the ministers, you will disappoint the people!"
The King of Hanzhong said: "Although I am a descendant of the Han Dynasty, I have not given many favors to the people. Now once I ascend the throne and become emperor, what is the difference from usurping the throne!"
Kong Ming still tried to persuade him, but the King of Hanzhong just disagreed, so everyone had no choice but to leave.
After leaving the court, Kong Ming asked Yu Yi privately why he didn't come out to persuade. Yu Yi smiled and said: "You also know my elder brother's temper. Your persuasion has no effect. Do I need to say anything? Besides, I will persuade. He thought it was my idea and would punish me when the time comes."
Kong Ming said angrily: "If the King of Hanzhong refuses again, why don't we elect you as the new emperor?"
Yu Yi shook his head and said: "Things are not that bad. If you think of a way, I believe that my eldest brother will ascend to the throne of God." So the two discussed and came up with a way.
So Yu Yi went around to find ministers to publicize the plan. Kong Ming began to excuse himself because of illness. When the King of Hanzhong heard that Kong Ming was ill, he went to the mansion to visit him. He walked to the bedside and asked, "What disease is the military advisor suffering from?"
Kong Ming sat up with difficulty and replied: "I am worried, I am afraid that I will die soon."
Yu Yi came over with the prepared medicine and said: "Yesterday, Kong Ming suddenly fainted on the street. Fortunately, I passed by and rescued him. I took his pulse and diagnosed it. It was the rise of qi and blood caused by anxiety. This I just fell into a coma. When I woke up, I couldn't eat anything. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I won't die soon!" After saying that, he burst into tears.
The King of Hanzhong asked: "What is the military advisor worried about?" After asking many times in succession, Kong Ming just said that he was not feeling well and could not answer with his eyes closed.
The King of Hanzhong asked again and again, and Kong Ming sighed: "It has been many years since I came out of the thatched cottage, met the king, and followed him until now, obeying his advice. Now the king has the land of two rivers, our strategic plan is still there, and now Cao Pi has usurped the throne. , the fate of the Han Dynasty has come to an end. All civil and military officials want to appoint the king as the new emperor, destroy Wei and Xingliu, and gain fame together, but the king insists on refusing. Everyone is resentful and will definitely go there soon. If the people who defect to the Wei State turn away and Wu and Wei attack together, then the land in both Sichuan and Sichuan will not be preserved, how can I not worry?"
The King of Hanzhong had no choice but to agree, saying: "Let's wait until the military advisor recovers from his illness before taking action."
After hearing this, Kong Ming poured the medicinal soup that Yu Yi brought over to the floor, jumped up from the bed, opened the screen, and all the civil and military officials outside came in, knelt on the ground, and said: "Since the king has agreed, please Choose a good day to ascend the throne.”
The King of Hanzhong looked and saw that they were Taifu Xu Jing, Anhan General Mi Zhu, Qingyi Hou Xiangju, Yangquan Hou Liu Bao, Biejia Zhao Zuo, Zhizhong Yang Hong, Yi Cao Duqiong, Engagement Zhang Shuang, Taichang Qing Lai Gong, Guanglu Qing Huang Quan, He Zong, the scholar, Yin Mo, the bachelor, Qiao Zhou, the Grand Sima, Yin Chun, the general, Zhang Yi, Wang Mou, Dr. Zhaowen Yiji, Qin Mi, the chief minister, Yu Yi, the prefect of Jingzhou, and others. He was very surprised and sighed: "You people have trapped me into injustice!"
Yu Yi stepped forward and bowed: "Since eldest brother agrees, please choose a good day and make a grand ceremony to ascend the throne." After saying that, he helped Liu Bei return to the palace. Kong Ming ordered Dr. Xu Ci and Adviser Meng Guang to salute. Build an altar south of Wudan in Chengdu and prepare for related matters.
Soon the day came, and everyone came to the scene to welcome the King of Hanzhong and walked to the altar to salute. Qiao Zhou read aloud the sacrificial text, which read: On the first day of April in the twenty-sixth year of Jian'an, on the twelfth day of the lunar month, Dingsi, the emperor Liu Bei announced The land of emperors and queens, and the world of the Han family, have gone through countless dynasties. Only Wang Mang usurped it. Emperor Guangwu was furious and killed him, allowing the continuation of the country. Now Cao Cao is so ruthless that he massacred Emperor Xian and the Queen. His crime was heinous. Cao Cao's son Cao Pi was even more rebellious and secretly took possession of the artifact. His soldiers thought that the fate of the Han Dynasty was over. I don't think so. The Cao family will be punished by heaven. . I, Liu Bei, was afraid that I would not have the virtue to be an emperor, so I went to ask the common people and replied: The destiny cannot be ignored, the ancestral heritage cannot be replaced, and the world cannot be without a master. To lead everyone, the key lies in me alone. I am afraid that the cause of the Han Dynasty will fall. , choose an auspicious day, go to the altar to express condolences, care for everyone, and continue the tradition of the Han Dynasty!
