When I returned home, it was already late at night. Before that, Liu Yi went to Zhuge Liang's place and discussed some matters with Zhuge Liang.

Although it is a bit disrespectful, what should be said should be said. If Liu Bei dies, the Han Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil. Cao Wei and even the Eastern Wu will take action. The preparations should be made. What measures the other party may take and how to deal with it here are things that their people at the top must consider clearly.

It is impossible to keep the funeral secret, and the current situation is not that far. Besides, the new emperor ascended the throne and was about to announce it to the world. While Liu Bei is still here, he started to prepare. If Liu Bei can get better, it would be the best, but it may be possible to report good news but not bad news to the outside world, but they, the decision makers, must be prepared for the worst.

It was almost midnight, but the lights in the room were still on. After the servant helped Liu Yi open the door, he wanted to go back and report, but was stopped by Liu Yi. It was so late, so don’t bother your wife and children to rest.

But when Liu Yi walked into the room lightly, he saw Lu Lingqi sitting in the main hall, dozing off with her chin on one hand, and the food on the table was still covered. A warm feeling arises in his heart. He silently stepped forward and picked up his wife, wanting to send her back to the inner room to rest. Sitting and sleeping is not good for his health.

"Husband is back?" Lu Lingqi is a warrior and is quite alert. When Liu Yi met her, she woke up. She looked at Liu Yi and shook her head, indicating that Liu Yi would put her down.

"Well, something happened in the court." Liu Yi sighed. No one expected this incident at this time, but he didn't want to bring this trouble home, so his wife would also worry.

"I have already told me about the emperor tomorrow." Lu Lingqi helped Liu Yi lift the lid on the meal: "My husband works hard all day, eat something first."

"Madam, don't eat it, just eat it together." Liu Yi nodded. He was indeed hungry.

"If he dies, will your husband feel uncomfortable?" Lu Lingqi sat silently opposite Liu Yi and suddenly asked.

"For many years, the monarch and ministers, Your Majesty has treated me well. If you have no feelings at all, do you believe me?" Liu Yi knew that although Liu Bei personally paid tribute to Lu Bu in order to invite him to come out of the mountain, he also set up a temple for Lu Bu. There were even special statues in Mocheng that allowed Lu Bu to receive the incense of thousands of families. His wife endured it at the beginning, but in her heart, she was in love.

"But the most important thing is that if Your Majesty dies, there will be a lot of trouble. Many things that are being done now will have to stagnate. This world is from the Liu family, but it is also something I have been fighting with. I naturally want to see it go further and stronger. If Your Majesty dies, the new king may not support me as fully as Your Majesty." At the end, Liu Yi couldn't help but sigh. Many things are unsatisfactory. Lifting on the back of the chair, Liu Yi said tiredly: "There is no longer a person in this world who can support me like this. Cao Cao would not, Sun Quan would not, and the new king may not... it may not be possible."

Although Liu Bei had given instructions, Liu Chan could not fully follow Liu Bei's will whenever he was emperor and minister. Liu Bei could trust himself without reservation. However, after Liu Chan grew up, his old ministers would definitely have to give way to the newcomers, and naturally it would not be possible that he trusted himself as much as Liu Bei is now.

In fact, it is good to be a craftsman in this era, but this is how people are. When you have nothing, you will have no desires and have enough food and clothing. However, the local status is getting higher and higher, and you will want more and more. Liu Yi is still not very interested in power and other things now, but he wants to change the world and push the world into the industrial era ahead of schedule. Steam engines can now be used in some small places. Xiliang has found many open-pit coal mine resources, and the conditions are becoming more and more mature. Wooden tracks are finally a semi-finished product. If Liu Bei does not die, it is possible to replace wooden tracks with railway tracks in his lifetime. Even if there are not many such tracks, if there are three or five such tracks, the times will change faster to the industrial era.

But Liu Bei's death is likely to be cut off. If he cannot complete this transformation in his lifetime, and his own group of disciples die without the blessing of the system, a large number of workers can obtain relevant skills in a short period of time. If he wants to go to a new era, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years, or even the feudal situation. When the emperor can determine the world with just one word, the things he has worked hard to do in his life will be reversed.

What will happen in the future? Now I suddenly become confused. This is not just Liu Yi's feeling, but also Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have similar feelings. This is not just a matter of loyalty, but also a confusion about the future.

Lu Lingqi came behind Liu Yi, reached out and took Liu Yi into her arms, and sighed quietly: "If this is the case, it would be better for you and my husband to retire to the countryside and ignore the troubles in this world."

"How easy is that?" Liu Yi quietly enjoyed his wife's arms and sighed. It is okay to retreat, but it is not enough to retreat to the mountains and forests. Because of him, the work can prosper. However, this is now based on the pressure he brought to the other two countries. If he leaves, when the gap is gradually compensated, a new balance will be formed again, and the status of craftsmen will be suppressed. At least at present, this situation is still very fragile and he cannot retreat.

In life, once you enter the world, it will be difficult to be born again. It is really... It’s a pity that many people in the world have returned!

"Madam, don't worry, I have everything." Feeling his wife's worries, Liu Yi patted her hand and smiled.

"Well, my husband is the most powerful." Lu Lingqi smiled.

"Eat." Liu Yi smiled and patted his wife's arm and said with a smile.

Lu Lingqi nodded, not mentioning her son's matter to Liu Yi. What she should know is that Xiao Huan already knows. At this time, she doesn't want to let her husband go home and still have endless thoughts.

That night, Liu Yi slept very soundly. He had been running around for more than two months, and he had to rest. Sometimes he slept directly in the car. No matter how good it was outside, it was not as comfortable as home. As for where to be home? Where is family members, it is naturally home.

When he woke up the next day, Liu Yi had a few bites of food and went out to the palace. Many things had to be handled. Now he, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were making the worst plans.

After resting for a night, Liu Bei woke up the next day and felt much better. When he summoned the ministers to discuss matters, he seemed to have been completely healed. This seemed to be a good signal. However, Liu Bei was summoning the ministers to discuss Liu Chan's succession and announced the list of five auxiliary ministers in public, which was also considered to be arguing that during a period of unstable period after Liu Chan's succession, these five people were the real power of the court.

In the next half month, Liu Bei's condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and his mental state was unstable. Sometimes he was awake and sometimes confused. When he was awake, he always liked to call some elderly people to come to reminisce about the past.

Occasionally, they are called Jian Yong and Sun Gan. These two were the first strategists to follow Liu Bei. After most of their lives, they basically never enjoyed a few days of blessings. After Liu Bei entered Shu and truly had his own career, these two passed away one after another.

As the end of the year approaches, Liu Bei called Liu Yi's family, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Mi Zhu's family, and they all called each other to celebrate the New Year together.

After all, there are not many days like this.

Empress Mi took Lu Lingqi, Huang Yueying, Xiahou and others to sit at a table, while Liu Bei took Liu Yi and others to sit at the table. These were basically the old people around Liu Bei and were not restricted.

"Tomorrow, you will follow me to see Chang'an City." Liu Bei drank a glass of wine and looked at everyone and smiled: "According to Bo Yuan's words, it will take at least two years for this Chang'an City to be built, but I can't see that day."

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. What the Imperial Physician said, Your Majesty has improved recently, and you will definitely be able to wait until the day when the two capitals are completed!" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"I know my body myself. Bo Yuan doesn't need to comfort me, he just wants to see this capital for the last time!" Liu Bei shook his head, looked in the south, and said quietly.

The cities built by Liu Yi have all worked wonders. Liu Bei has experienced them more than once. He is looking forward to how the weather will be after the completion of a capital like Chang'an?

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei sat silently beside Liu Bei, eating the food in their hands, without saying a word. Liu Yi, Zhuge Liang and others sighed and nodded, "I obey the order."

"Boyon doesn't have to be so polite."

It was a New Year's Eve banquet, but it was quite dentist, which was not a good taste.

The next morning, Guan Yu had already prepared his travel tent and his men, and took Liu Bei towards Chang'an early in the morning.

The foundation has been built in Chang'an. Thirty-two water trucks continuously transmit power into Chang'an City through conveyor belts and gears buried underground. The sound of wooden machinery running is not good, but it is particularly wonderful to Liu Bei's ears at this moment.

"This is like the elevator in Yueyang." Liu Bei pointed to the city wall that had been built halfway, and the central wall had already left an empty passage with wood and mechanisms. It was for elevators. The new Chang'an City is close to the Wei River. Even if there is indeed an enemy attack, he can only pass by the Wei River from here.

"There are also devices that automatically transmit crossbow arrows. I am planning to place 360 ​​broken army crossbows on this city wall, which can fire thousands of crossbow arrows in succession." Liu Yi nodded and said.

"Boyuan is indeed very concerned, but if he is attacked here one day, my great man will be destroyed!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

This Chang'an will be the capital of the future Han Dynasty. If the enemy is really at the city, what's the use of Chang'an's defense?

"It's mainly to prevent Hu's troubles." Liu Yi shook his head. It's better not to say such unlucky words.

"Brother!?" Before Liu Bei finished speaking, he suddenly heard Guan Yu exclaiming behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Liu Bei was already lying in Guan Yu's arms.

"Hurry up, pass the imperial physician order!"

All around suddenly became a mess. Liu Yi and others were still awake and quickly ordered the imperial physician to come over, but it did not work.
Chapter completed!
