Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 66 Beating Liao Li (big chapter)
In the Yong'an Palace, there are white tents with spirit flags all over the place, and Liu Bei's coffin is placed in the hall.

Liu Bei's body had been bathed by the servants of the palace and placed on a new bed with a bamboo mat on the top and a straw mat on the bottom to show that Liu Bei slept peacefully; the servants put Liu Bei's hair and clipped nails in a pouch , stuffed into the pillow, ready to be put into the coffin when it is over.Liu Bei was wrapped in bright clothes and skirts, his face was covered with a square scarf, and his body was covered with a large quilt.

Next came Fanhan, which needed to be operated by Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang. The attendants came up to the hall respectfully carrying a water tray. Liu Chan was outside the curtain, using the water in the tray to widen his hands, and then washed the jade pieces like shellfish in another tray. Then put it in a bamboo vessel and carry it into the curtain.Liu Chan faced west, sat in front of Liu Bei's bed, uncovered the face towel, removed the pillow, and let Zhuge Liang handle the rice and rice with his own hands.After finishing, Liu Chan returned to the original standing position.

The person in charge of clothing brought over a box weighing twelve weighing clothes, put them on the mat, took off Liu Bei's face towel, changed his top coat, and then plugged his ears with jade, which is called (filling ears).The hands are covered with a pouch one foot two inches long and five inches wide, called (handshake), plus hand clothes.Twelve sets of clothes are put on layer by layer, and then covered with a large quilt.

When the curtain was opened, Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang and others were crying. All the officials were in mourning clothes, white single clothes, white headbands around their heads, and no hats.

Three days later, Liu Chan led the officials to cry and worship. After Liu Chan kept vigil at night, he returned to Chengdu the next day to ascend the throne.

It was very cold in Yong'an Palace at night, and many ice cubes were placed in the palace for antisepsis.Surrounded by white candles, Liu Chan, dressed in hemp and filial piety, knelt on Liu Bei's coffin to watch the night.

Liu Chan was extremely exhausted physically. Although mentally he fantasized about becoming the throne many times, after Liu Beizhen died of illness, Liu Chan felt an indescribable panic. He would not know how to be the emperor himself!

Zhuge Liang seemed to feel Liu Chan's panic, and said slowly: "Your Highness, there are veterans around, so don't worry!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xiangfu. In the future, the court of the Han Dynasty will have to worry about Mr. Xiangfu." Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Liang who was at the side, and he felt much more at ease, and said slowly.

"Second brother, go and rest for a while." Liu Chan caught a glimpse of Liu Yong's strange kneeling posture.

"I don't need big brother, I can hold on." Liu Yong said firmly.

Liu Chan heard that and didn't try to persuade him. His second younger brother has been practicing martial arts with Huo Yi and Wang Ping recently, and his personality has changed a lot. If he grows older, he can be trained in the army.For Liu Yong's arrangement, Liu Chan is already aware of it.

"Your Highness, the time has come, you can get up and rest." At this moment, Zhuge Liang's voice rang in Liu Chan's ear.

Liu Chan shook his head: "It's okay, Father Xiang can go to rest first."

The posture that should be had is still to be done, and it must be done adequately. Liu Chan is also willing to worship Liu Bei.

"Nowadays, there are important matters in the country that require your Highness to take care of. Tomorrow, His Highness needs to return to Chengdu to ascend the throne. His Highness still focuses on the overall situation. Veteran officials know His Highness's benevolence and filial piety, but at this time, His Highness's greatest benevolence and filial piety is to ascend the throne, take charge of the government, and appease the big man. People's hearts, stabilize the situation of the big man."

Under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Chan got up and helped Zhuge Liang to move around together.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan came out of the hall.

When the wind from the river came, Liu Chan leaned on the wooden railing, looking at the bright stars in the sky, full of pride in his heart, he slammed on the wooden railing and said, "Father Xiang, I want to change my law and become stronger in the future."

Zhuge Liang was a little surprised, and leaning on the wooden railing, he said: "Your Highness, you have great ambitions, and veterans are naturally willing to help, but it's too early for reforms at this time. Your Highness needs to stabilize the government and the public first, and don't act too hastily."

"What Xiangfu said is very true. Nowadays, the world is divided into three parts, and countries are fighting frequently. The strong will become strong, and the weak will perish; Sun Quan, the king, intends to become emperor. Now Cao and Wu are fighting to benefit my big man. If my big man is at this time If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity, it’s no different from just waiting to die.” Liu Chan nodded in agreement, and said slowly.

When Zhuge Liang heard Liu Chan's intention to reform the law, and was about to ask each other, there was a sound of exclamation in the palace.

"Your Majesty, servant Liao killed someone." Huo Yi, dressed in armor, hurried to Liu Chan's side.

"I haven't ascended the throne yet, so it's inappropriate to call me that. What happened to Liao Li's murder?" Liu Chan asked with a frown.

Huo Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, Liao Shizhong suddenly went berserk for some reason, and when he was keeping his filial piety, he hacked and killed the maid next to him."

"How courageous! Does Liao Li still have Wang Fa in his eyes?" Liu Chan scolded angrily.

Liu Chan waved his sleeves and pulled out Huo Yi to wear the Han sword, striding into the hall with meteoric strides.Zhuge Liang was afraid of causing trouble in front of Liu Beiling, so he hurriedly followed him.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Liao Li with a terrified expression, holding a Han sword, and Gong'e lying on the ground, bleeding all over the ground.Hearing the sound, Liao Li turned to the outside of the hall. Seeing Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang enter, he jumped and knelt on the ground.

"Liao Li, what do you want to do? Don't think that your sword is the only one in the world, and a lone sword is not good!" Liu Chan walked around Liao Li with a sword, suppressing the anger in his heart and scolded.

Liao Li knelt on the ground, straightened his waist and arched his hands, and said, "There is something to be said, please report to Rong Chen."

Liu Chan sneered and said, "Since Liao has an inside story, let's talk about it first, I don't want to kill someone by mistake."

"This palace lady was sneaking around in the palace, stealing the underworld weapon. After I found out, she insulted the late emperor. I just killed him in a hurry." Liao Lili said confidently.

Liu Chan looked at the other ladies in the palace, and said coldly, "It's really as Liao Shizhong said."

Kneeling on the ground, Gong'e said timidly, "What the attendant said is true."

Zhuge Liang beside him frowned, he didn't expect this to happen, so he didn't say much, seeing how Liu Chan dealt with Liao Li.

"The waiter is indeed a loyal minister! Does Gu want to reward you with something?" Liu Chan said in a low voice with a sullen face.

Liao Li heard the hidden meaning in Liu Chan's words and said, "Don't dare."

"Is there anything you dare not do?" Liu Chan said with a livid face.

"Your Highness, the minister is the servant in charge of the affairs of Yong'an Palace, and An Neng just sits and ignores it." Liao Li knelt on the ground, bowing his head to defend himself.

Zhuge Liang signaled Liu Chan not to pursue it too much. In the Han Dynasty, the servants were in charge of public affairs, down to the genus of sacrificial weapons and tiger sons.Regarding the matter of Gong'e, Gong'e has a crime to punish, Liao Li mishandled it, and a little punishment is enough. After all, Liu Chan had not yet ascended the throne at the time of the great funeral, so it is not appropriate to expand the handling.

"Oh, Gu also heard that the servant Ma Heluo rebelled, what do you think?" Liu Chan ignored Zhuge Liang's signal this time, determined to deal with Liao Li.

Liao Li is capable, but if you don't beat him, if you let it go gently, it will get worse. This kind of person needs to be repaired frequently.

Liao Li's expression changed drastically when he heard the word Ma He Luo. As a servant, how could he not know about Ma He Luo?

With Liao Li's IQ, he understood that Liu Chan wanted to execute himself, and regretted that he was so cheap. He watched the tip of the sword slide on the ground, sweating profusely, and did not dare to move rashly. He swallowed and said, "I dare not, I am guilty."

Liu Chan lifted the Han sword and put it on Liao Li's neck, and with a slight movement, he could pierce Liao Li's throat.

Liu Chan said coldly, "What's your crime?"

"I was disrespectful in front of the spirit and disturbed the peace of the first emperor. I deserve death." Liao Li felt the coldness of the sword tip, closed his eyes, and breathed out slowly.

"Oh, nothing else?" Liu Chan continued to raise his sword and said coldly.

"I shouldn't execute Gong'e to death. I have no right to dispose of it! I should report to His Highness before disposing of it." Liao Li cried.Liao Li didn't want to die!How could I have experienced such a dangerous thing when I became famous at a young age and had a great talent.

"Please spare my life, Your Highness!" Liao Li broke down in tears.

"What merits do you have to allow Gu to spare your life? Is it because you abandoned the county and fled?" Liu Chan tapped the ground with his sword.

Liao Li's face turned pale when he heard that, and he almost collapsed on the ground. Liao Li knew that he would die.

"Your Highness, Liao Li's crimes are not to die. Now that the great man is in the ascendant, it is time to employ people. The old minister asks Your Highness to forgive Liao Li's mistakes and let Liao Li make meritorious deeds." Zhuge Liang also understood that Liu Chan wanted to beat Liao Li. Seeing that the time had come, Speak out to persuade.

"Since Xiangfu begged for mercy for you, Gu will spare your death today and be relegated to serve as a servant." Liu Chan waved his sleeves behind his back and handed the sword to Huo Yi, saying coldly.

Liao Li looked up at the back of Liu Chan who was going away, heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, still in shock, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Zhuge Liang lifted Liao Li up to comfort him, Liao Li thanked him repeatedly, and was extremely grateful to Zhuge Liang in his heart.
