Chapter 742 Old friends withering one after another, like leaves falling in the wind(1/2)
——"Your Majesty has decreed that Zhou Yu should return to Hanzhong to resume his duties, and Lu Xun would lead his army to Yiling."
An edict from the Emperor of Wei was read out in front of Zhou Yu and Lu Xun.
Lu Xun opened his mouth, a little confused, but Zhou Yu frowned and waited for Xiao Huangmen, who had delivered the order, to leave.
Lu Xuncai said: "Captain Zhou, it stands to reason... Guan Yu is dead. Liu Bei is so angry that he will definitely use the power of Shu to send troops from Yiling to avenge Guan Yu. Why did your majesty transfer you and leave me at this time?
Woolen cloth?"
this…
Zhou Yu's brows gradually relaxed, and he stroked his beard lightly, "Your Majesty has always been prepared to leave no stone unturned, maybe... in his opinion, you, Lu Boyan, are more suitable to defeat Liu Bei than I, Zhou Gongjin, or maybe... His Majesty is prepared to anger Liu Bei.
, I kept you here just to make Liu Bei underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!"
hiss…
Lu Xun took a breath, and he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
Zhou Yu patted his shoulder and said, "In short, the next battle is extremely important to you, to the Wei Dynasty, and to the unification of the world. You must be careful!"
"I respectfully obey the orders of the Grand Governor..." Lu Xun handed over his hand.
Zhou Yu turned his head and looked around at the generals below the city...
For Guan Yu, Cao Cao came, Lu Bu came, Ma Chao came, Xu Huang came, Gan Ning came, Zhang Liao came...
So many people died for him, "Alas"... Zhou Yu sighed with emotion, thinking that he, Guan Yu, was not worthy.
There was inexplicably a lot of envy in his eyes.
Everyone is destined to die, but... Qi Xiong fought against Guan Gong. This honor, this reputation bestowed upon him by His Majesty, can be regarded as an earth-shattering death!
And in this world, Guan Yu is the only one who can die so earth-shatteringly!
After all, His Majesty and the King of Wei still appreciate Guan Yu more.
Good sentence, I will die for my loyalty!
——Recommend loyalty!
…
…
Guan Yu's coffin has been transported back to Hanzhong and placed in the middle of the Hanzhong palace.
Above the court hall, all the officials were solemn.
No one can believe that Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, who flooded Jiangling and shocked the world...just disappeared, fell like this!
"Tell me about it."
Lu Yu stood up from the dragon chair calmly and asked the ministers, "How should Guan Yu's funeral be held?"
Xun was the first to take a step forward and said with cupped hands: "I have specifically asked the Supreme Emperor about this matter. Although the Supreme Emperor said that everything is up to His Majesty's arrangement, his words showed his respect for Guan Yu. Between the ministers, Your Majesty can appropriately posthumous titles to Guan Yu."
, put his body into a jade stone coffin, and buried him generously outside the south gate of Luoyang... When he was buried, all the civil and military officials came together for the funeral!"
As soon as this statement came out...
It was obvious that the whole audience was in an uproar and everyone started talking about it.
But no one openly refuted it...
Although this arrangement came from Xun Yu's mouth, it was Cao Cao's intention...
Since it is Cao Cao's intention, who dares to refute it?
Lu Yu was keenly aware of the expression of the Duke of Manchao.
call…
Exhaling softly, Lu Yu raised his dragon sleeves, "Since my father asked me to make arrangements, then I will make arrangements according to the etiquette of the Wei Dynasty..."
"According to Guan Yu's last words, he was buried in Jieliang, Hedong, and a monument was erected on his tomb - the tomb of Changsheng in Jieliangguan, Hedong!"
Just...that's it?
Lu Yu's words were beyond Xun Yu's expectations.
No grand burial? No civil and military officials attending the funeral together, just... burial and sent back to Guan Yu's hometown in Hedong?
this…
Xun may still want to open his mouth, but suddenly thought of something... and immediately closed his mouth.
Zhou Yu reminded: "Your Majesty, Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, Guan Yu's daughter Guan Yinping, Guan Yu's deputy generals Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Zhao Lei and others also died in the battle!"
"In memory of his loyalty," Lu Yu continued to order, "Bury them together next to Guan Yu to commend loyalty and righteousness. We can also build a loyalty temple in Xieliang County, Hedong, so that these people can receive incense and worship for generations to come."
"Yes..." Zhou Yu held his hand...
Guan Yu's matter seemed to have been revealed so easily...
Lu Yu changed the subject, "Next, Liu Bei will inevitably launch a general attack when he is furious. As the saying goes, if the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, there must be a flaw. Everyone, cheer up... The time has come to determine the unification of the world.
Got it!"
As soon as this statement came out...
All the ministers shouted: "Great Wei Shenwu! Your Majesty has a profound plan!"
that's all…
The court meeting ended with heavy thunder and small raindrops. After the court was over, Xi Zhi came to Xun Yu's side, blinking his eyes and asked: "Why didn't Wen Ruo continue to ask about Guan Yu's grand burial?"
He seemed to ask this on purpose...
Xun or rolled his eyes at him, "Xun came to understand later that it was interesting enough for His Majesty to bury Guan Yu in Jieliang County, Hedong, and it was enough to give the Supreme Emperor face. After all, his loyalty did not correspond to His Majesty and the Wei Dynasty. His
The crime of flooding Jiangling... is even more unforgivable, and it is even more fair for Your Majesty to do this!"
"Haha..." Xi Zhicai laughed, "I almost thought that after Wen Ruo became prime minister, his brain was clogged... I never thought that it would clear up quickly!"
After the joke... Xi Zhicai burst into laughter again.
…
…
Xichuan, Zitong.
The candle flame in the oil lamp flickered brightly and dimly under the blowing of the night wind.
Liu Bei was reviewing memorials in the government office. In a hazy moment, he seemed to feel that there was someone standing in front of him... He suddenly looked up and saw that it was not his second brother Guan Yu who appeared in front of him. Who else could it be?
"Yun Chang?"
Liu Bei was greatly surprised, "Why are you here? Isn't my second brother in Jiangling? Didn't my last letter say that Xiangfan will be captured within one month?"
Liu Bei stood up and approached Guan Yu... "My second brother is not in Jingzhou, why are you here?"
"Brother..." Guan Yu's voice was dreamy, "I'm here to say goodbye to my brother! I'm leaving..."
"Where are you going?" Liu Bei frowned...
"Under the Nine Springs..." Guan Yu replied with a smile, "Young brother has already helped me get this feather cover on the car, and the rest is up to me! Brother, take care..."
Liu Bei felt that the Guan Yu in front of him was vain. He was trying his best to stretch out his hands and bid farewell to Liu Bei.
"Yun Chang? Where are you going?"
"Yun Chang, where are you going..."
Liu Bei wanted to catch Guan Yu, but... where was his second brother in front of him?
He rubbed his eyes desperately...but the more he rubbed, the less he could see his second brother...
"Yun Chang, where are you going? Stop... please stop!"
Finally, Liu Bei realized something...
"Yun Chang...Yun Chang!"
He screamed... but in this huge room, how could anyone respond?
Only...the candlelight was still swaying...erratically in the night wind.
tread…
tread!
At this moment, a low and thick voice came from outside the door.
"Who is outside the door? Is it Yun Chang?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
But what appeared in front of Liu Bei was a man in Confucian robes holding a feather fan...
"Kong Ming?"
Liu Bei exclaimed.
Zhuge Liang approached slowly, with tears in his eyes, and a huge sense of powerlessness in his words, "Your Majesty, Jiangling messengers came to report that Jiangling was lost. They were afraid of seeing Your Majesty, so they saw me in advance!"
