Zhu Nao

The reason why everyone was so shocked by the fact that Zhu Nao was suddenly ready to proclaim himself emperor was also because Zhu Nao had been too "low-key" in recent years.

I think back when Zhu Naochu first came to prominence in Chengdu, he spread the word everywhere, declaring that he was the illegitimate son of the first emperor.This incident has aroused the criticism and ridicule of many people in the world.At that time, everyone suspected that he released the news in preparation for the usurpation of the dynasty.

In those few years, rumors spread from time to time that Zhu Nao had proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, which caused the princes from all walks of life to be nervous.However, it was discovered in the end that it was all misinformation, and there was no such thing at all.Zhu Nao is still honestly serving as his prefect of Chengdu, governing the land of Shu.

After the death of the little emperor, the world became more and more chaotic, and there were more and more clowns.There are those who came out to proclaim themselves emperors, and those who just dragged a little baby out to become emperors, and it was not just one or two who declared themselves to be royal orthodox.On the contrary, Zhu Nao has been so calm, people almost forget that he is also surnamed Zhu, and he has long claimed that he is the heir of the first emperor!

When Zhao Wu and the others recovered from the shock, they subconsciously wanted to curse "ridiculous", but suddenly realized that this incident might have been absurd a few years ago, but now, it is not at all absurd up.Even, Zhu Nao seems to be the most reasonable one among the people who are vying for the throne today!

Let's see who are the emperors now?Not counting those who start anew like Han Rushan, anyone who still wants to maintain the old state, either jumps out of nowhere and claims to be an orthodox lunatic, or picks out a young and helpless child from a remote branch as a puppet of.So what kind of son of the Marquis of Xunyang does Tao Bei want to establish?I don't know where I found it, who can guarantee if it is true or not!

On the other hand, Zhu Nao, after so many years, his life experience has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At the beginning, not many people believed in it, but now more and more people no longer doubt it.Most importantly, he is already one of the most powerful princes in the world, isn't he more legitimate than a ten-year-old brat?

After thinking about this point, Zhao Wu and the others suddenly realized: If it was the right time and the right choice for Tao Bei to want to raise a little puppet to the throne today, then it is the right time and an extremely wise choice for Zhu Nao to proclaim himself emperor now!

After all, if he still does nothing, Tao Bei may use his orthodox name to seize the opportunity first; and his proclaiming himself emperor will instantly make that Laoshizi Xunyanghou a joke!

Even Zhao Wu's aides couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If Zhu Nao had learned that Tao Bei wanted to be the son of Xunyanghou, and decided to proclaim himself emperor...this would really be a drudgery."

Zhao Wu nodded in agreement: "Indeed..."

It's really wonderful to draw a salary from the bottom of the pot!Tao Bei must have heard the news and jumped out of anger.

The aide said again: "Since Zhu Nao also intends to proclaim himself emperor, he must soon send someone to win over the state shepherd. The state shepherd does not need to reply to the envoy of Yedu in a hurry, he might as well wait for the news from Chengdu."

Zhao Wu smiled and said, "That's right. You don't need to tell me, I also have the same intention."

In terms of the orthodoxy of proclaiming emperor, Zhu Nao has already moved ahead.As for what method Zhu Nao will use to win over these princes, Zhao Wu is already looking forward to it.

Of course he likes the beauties sent by Yedu, but if you expect him to be dazed for the sake of a few beauties, it would be too small to underestimate him.Who can struggle out of the current situation, who is a fool?

In the final analysis, he will choose the path that is most beneficial to him...

=====

At this moment, Chengdu Mansion and the western prefectures controlled by Zhu Nao have gradually received the news that Zhu Nao is going to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.The people have already celebrated with joy and encouragement.

The reason why the common people want to celebrate is naturally because Zhu Nao is so popular.In recent years, under the governance of Zhu Nao, the state capitals can be described as smooth.Especially in the Chengdu Mansion, the tyrannical Yuan Jilu was sent away, and the diligent Zhu Nao was ushered in.Except for the little Maotou who was just born in the past few years and still doesn't know anything, who doesn't think well of Zhu Nao?

The second enthronement is such a grand event, Zhu Nao naturally promulgated many decrees to share the joy with the people.Nowadays, in troubled times, various places continue to impose exorbitant taxes in order to raise military expenses, but Zhu Nao waved his hand and exempted the people in the area under his jurisdiction from paying taxes for two seasons, and opened warehouses in poor areas to release grain to help the poor.

Not only to benefit the people, but Zhu Nao also began to reward his subordinates who fought for him and defended the land for him over the years.

The most rewarded person is undoubtedly Xu Yu.If Xu Yu hadn't been sitting in the rear for him all these years and managed the Shu land in an orderly manner, it would have been impossible for Zhu Nao to go all the way north and quell the chaos.Therefore, Zhu Nao promoted Xu Yu to Shang Shuling, and at the same time he was named a Marquis, which was the only Marquis he conferred this time.

Fezen also joined Zhu Nao many years ago, but at that time he was forced to form an alliance with Junao. After seeing Zhu Nao's strength and deeds over the years, he has willingly loyal to Junao.But he was already Yingtian Fu Yin from the beginning, and he didn't have much room for promotion.Fortunately, his son has also started to work under Zhu Nao in these years, participating in business and other things, and doing quite well.Zhu Nao reused his son's promotion, which was regarded as a reward and comfort to Feizen.

In addition, all the civil servants from all over the country are rewarded for their work.Previously, because Zhu Nao himself was only a government official, his subordinates could not hold more posts than himself.Therefore, many people's official affairs are already very important, but their official positions are more than one or two levels lower than they actually are.This time, Zhu Nao made up for everyone what needed to be done.

If there were incompetent officials, Zhu Nao also took advantage of this opportunity to carry out a round of transfers, raising some people up and down, and transferring power in a gentle way.

In addition to the appointment of civil servants, the most important thing is the entrustment of military officers.

After learning that Zhu Nao proclaimed himself emperor, many people speculated who he would hand over the post of general.

The person who has the closest relationship with him in recent years is undoubtedly Xie Wuji, I heard that Zhu Nao favors Xie Wuji to such an extent that he often sleeps with him, goes in and out with him.When it comes to the sharpening on the battlefield and the ability to dispatch troops, Xie Wuji is undoubtedly the most outstanding under Zhu Nao.

But in terms of seniority, Yu Changming and even Wei Yue followed Zhu Nao earlier than Xie Wuji, especially Yu Changming guarded Bashu for Zhu Nao all these years, making the weather in Shu smooth and foreign enemies dare not invade, the credit should not be underestimated.Behind him was the support of many Shu generals from Shu. If Zhu Nao put Xie Wuji above him, it would probably cause dissatisfaction among many Shu people.

Similarly, Xie Wuji led an army of tens of thousands and the northern states to surrender to Zhu Nao. If Zhu Nao made Yu Changming surpass Xie Wuji, many people would oppose him.

For such a problem, Zhu Nao's solution is very simple - he named Xie Wuji, Yu Changming, and Wei Yue as General Zhengbei, General Zhengnan, and General Zhengdong respectively.In terms of official positions, the three have the same status and do not interfere with each other.The post of General Zhengxi is temporarily vacant.

Also vacant is the position of General.For the time being, Zhu Nao has not handed over this position to anyone, and he has actually shouldered the responsibility of dispatching the national military.Naturally, he has Xie Wuji by his side, as well as talents selected from Yu Changming, Wei Yue and others as his staff, so it is most appropriate for him to assume this position for the time being.

Official appointments are announced one after another, some people are happy and some are sad, but most people are happy to accept them.

Ordinarily, Zhu Nao's consideration is quite comprehensive, even if some people are dissatisfied, they can only accept it.There is still a very important transfer, which caused a great uproar...

=====

Jingzhou.

Huang Dongxuan was sitting in the yard, surrounded by a group of his trusted officers.

Everyone looked gloomy, and the atmosphere was quite dignified.

One person said indignantly: "Brother, it seems that the governor of the Zhu government still doesn't trust our brother after making such an arrangement. Fortunately, we captured Jingzhou for him. For more than a year, we dare not make any mistakes! In the end, He still can't get rid of suspicion."

Zhu Nao suddenly proclaimed himself emperor, and the enthronement ceremony was still being held. Huang Dongxuan's subordinates were not used to it, so they still called him Zhu Fuyin.

Another person whispered: "It may not be suspicion..."

"Isn't it suspicion?" Someone said helplessly, "Didn't we follow him from the beginning, how could he have full trust in us? In my opinion, he arranged this way deliberately to test our trust in him. Loyal or not."

Someone yelled: "Oh, to put it bluntly, it's all my fault that my face is not handsome enough! I heard that Xie Wuji is a famous handsome man, he has been with Zhu Fu Yin for the past two years, and even went in and out with Zhu Fu Yin, Sleeping on the same bed! Look at him, he hasn't been with Zhu Fu Yin for a few years, so he was named General Zhengbei, but our elder brother can only be General Pingdong!"

The atmosphere was originally very dignified, but when this person made jokes, everyone laughed.

Huang Dongxuan kicked him over, angrily and funny: "Fuck me, dare you say I'm not handsome enough? Just piss on your own and follow your virtue!"

He hummed again and said, "I look better than Pan An, Wei Jie is so mad, Zhu Nao didn't like me, it's because he has bad eyesight! What nonsense are you talking about?"

The crowd roared with laughter after being told that he was going down the slope, and the atmosphere suddenly became much happier.

This morning, Zhu Nao's new appointment to Huang Dongxuan was sent to Jingzhou—Junao made Huang Dongxuan General Pingdong.

Among the titles of generals, the first rank is naturally the Great General, who is in charge of the national military affairs and assists in government affairs; the second rank is the general of the four expeditions in the south, east, north and west, who controls tens of thousands of troops and thousands of miles of land; the third rank is the general of the four towns; the third rank is the general of the four towns; The fourth class is General Siping, that is, General Pingdong who Huang Dongxuan was named.

It should be known that although Huang Dongxuan followed Zhu Nao not long ago, after the defeat of the Changsha army, he led troops to capture Jingzhou for Zhu Nao and guard Jingzhou to this day.

More importantly, Zhu Nao also issued a decree to transfer Huang Dongxuan from Jingzhou to Hanzhong.The intention of this transfer is obvious-Junao still can't trust Huang Dongxuan, and wants to transfer Huang Dongxuan under his nose to watch.

After everyone laughed and made a fuss, they sat back on their seats again.

Huang Dongxuan lowered his face and said seriously: "To put it bluntly, he still thinks that I have a bad reputation, and thinks that I am an unfaithful and unrighteous person in the eyes of the world, so he made such an arrangement."

Everyone sighed secretly when they looked at me and you.They all know that Huang Dongxuan is actually a person who values ​​friendship.However, the world is like this, could it be possible to become a loyal character and hang yourself alive?Not to mention that people die for wealth and birds die for food, but also that people go to high places and water flows to low places.

One person said: "Brother, it's up to him whether he wants to believe it or not! In short, we follow Big Brother, and we will do whatever Big Brother tells us to do!"

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly echoed, "We all follow Big Brother! If Big Brother wants to go to Hanzhong, we will follow; if Big Brother doesn't want to, we won't go! It's no big deal to risk your life!"

Huang Dongxuan looked around at the crowd, feeling both sore and warm in his heart.It's fine for him not to be highly valued himself, but if because of his uselessness, this group of brothers who follow him also have no future, how can he not feel guilty?

He gritted his teeth, finally made a decision, stood up abruptly, and said, "Mr. Ge! I've been a traitor twice, are you afraid of being him three times or four times?! If we want to stand out, we have to Make meritorious deeds by yourself, and you can't rely on others' pity!"

Everyone said one after another: "Let's make contributions by ourselves!"

Huang Dongxuan clenched his fist and said, "Let's not go to Hanzhong! Find a few clever secret envoys, and hurry to Changsha mansion to find Sun Xiang, and tell the man surnamed Sun about Zhu Nao's appointment to Lao Tzu. I don't believe it, but the man surnamed Sun I will lose interest in Jingzhou!"

In the past two years, Sun Xiang has been eyeing Jingzhou covetously, but he has not been able to take Jingzhou back because of his inability to catch him.Although Huang Dongxuan has betrayed him once, if he knows that Huang Dongxuan is dissatisfied with Jun Nao's appointment, he may join him again...

I'm afraid he will be more magnanimous than ever before, and ignore the past, right?
