Zhu Nao

Hanzhong.

Zhu Nao was sitting in the hall reviewing the memorial when a palace official came in with small steps and reported, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xu is here."

"Oh?" Junao put down his pen, "Ask him to come in."

Soon, Xu Yu walked up to the hall, holding a list in his hand, and handed it to Zhu Nao: "Your Majesty, this is the person who has been negotiated in the past few days."

Junao took the list from him and read it.

After he returned to Hanzhong, he immediately prepared to move the capital.Relocating the capital is not a trivial matter. It needs to persuade a large number of officials and a large number of forces to move with the capital, and most people are unwilling to leave their homeland.Local powerful families are often unwilling to move the capital from their hometown, which means that they will be far away from the core of power, so they will also exert a lot of resistance.

Fortunately, Hanzhong itself is not the place where the Dragon Qi is located. Thinking back when Zhu Nao moved the capital out of Chengdu, he could have chosen between Hanzhong and Guanzhong.Guanzhong is also the ancient capital of several dynasties, and it stands to reason that it is more suitable as the capital, but he chose Hanzhong, using the reason that Hanzhong is closer to Shu, and actually left himself a way out.

Now that they want to leave Hanzhong, they encounter much less resistance than leaving from Guanzhong.Everyone knows that Hanzhong is not suitable for the heart of the world, it is just a temporary capital, so they have made psychological preparations from the beginning.Moreover, the power of the local powerful clan is much smaller than that in Guanzhong, and it is easier to settle things.

In addition, Xu Yu is a well-rounded person who is best at balancing the forces of all parties. Some forces that are difficult to solve will send Xu Yu himself, and he can always find a way to persuade them.Now, they have negotiated with the most important officials and forces in the DPRK.So far, there is not much resistance to the major event of moving the capital, and the next step is many details and chores.

After reading the list, Zhu Nao praised: "Ai Qing has worked hard, and solved another troublesome matter for me."

Xu Yu hurriedly said, "It's what I should do."

Juno smiled.Apart from him, it is Xu Yu who has contributed the most to the present state of Shu, who has always managed the rear in an orderly manner for him.More importantly, Xu Yu has never taken credit for pride, and has always done things down-to-earth.Otherwise, he has great power in his hands, and any disobedience will cause Zhu Nao great trouble.

Zhu Nao said, "Prime Minister Xu, thanks to having you here all these years."

Xu Yu didn't expect Zhu Nao to say such a thing suddenly, and was at a loss.He was flattered and said: "This... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

After a while, he calmed down, first sneered, and then solemnly said: "The achievements of the minister are not worth the size. To be supported by His Majesty is the blessing of the three lives of the minister."

Before following Zhu Nao, he had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, relying on his own ability to climb from the bottom step by step to the position of the young governor of Chengdu Mansion.It was those more than ten years of experience that made him understand how rare it is for Zhu Nao to be a wise king, and also let him understand that everything he has today is thanks to Zhu Nao.If Zhu Nao hadn't given him such a good situation, how could he have been so smooth in Hanzhong?

Junao said no more.For Xu Yu, he no longer needs to express it in words, the absolute trust and sufficient power he gave already explained everything.

After a while, Zhu Nao said, "I'll trouble Ai Qing to continue handling the rest of the affairs here in Hanzhong."

Xu Yu wondered, "Is Your Majesty in a hurry to go back to Henan?"

Zhu Nao shook his head: "Before going to Henan, I want to go back to Sichuan."

Xu Yu couldn't help but startled.Ever since Zhu Nao went out to fight the Northern War in the South of Shu, he seldom returned to Shu.Later, he proclaimed himself emperor and established his capital in Hanzhong, and he never went back again, and it has been several years so far.In the past few years, he can only communicate with those people in Sichuan through letters, and has never had a chance to meet.

After a while, Xu Yu said: "Yes, I understand. I will do my best to manage the remaining affairs and live up to your Majesty's entrustment!"

After staying in Hanzhong for a few more days, after dealing with all the important matters, Zhu Nao set off with the imperial guards to Chengdu, which he had not seen for a long time.

……

……

On the Chengdu campus, thousands of soldiers stood neatly in square formations.The sun was shining brightly and everyone was sweating profusely.Many people were tired, but they still stood up straight, looked up at Yu Changming standing on the high platform, and waited for Yu Changming's order.

Yu Changming looked down at the army from above, and after a long time, he finally spoke slowly and loudly: "I have received news recently..."

The audience was silent, waiting for his next words.What news would rally the whole army?Could it be that there is going to be a war again?

Yu Changming, however, acted as if deliberately whetting people's appetites, and it took a while before he paused: "Your Majesty - you are going back to Shu soon! In a month's time, Your Majesty will arrive in Chengdu!"

The audience was still silent, with shocked expressions on people's faces.Soon, there was a commotion in the crowd.Immediately afterwards, as if a pot of water was poured into a boiling oil pan, the crowd began to cheer!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is going back to Shu?"

"Great, great!!"

"Your Majesty has not been back for many years, and he is finally coming!!"

"Will he come to see us? Will he? Will he?"

"I will, I will definitely! We are His Majesty's fellow countrymen, His Majesty's personal soldiers!"

"Ahhhhhh that's great, we can see His Majesty too!"

Looking at the cheering crowd below, Yu Changming couldn't help but smile.Zhu Nao has been out of Shu for many years, but the love of the people in Shu is still the same as before.It can be seen how popular he was at the beginning.

After a while, Yu Changming made a stop gesture, but the army was still immersed in joy and could not calm down.So the messenger hurriedly beat the drum. After several drums, the crowd finally gradually restored order.

Yu Changming said loudly: "Your Majesty will inspect the whole army when he comes back. During this month, we must intensify our training so that Your Majesty can take a good look at our demeanor!"

"Ooooh!!!" The crowd cheered again.They really had a chance to see His Majesty with their own eyes! !

The irritability and fatigue brought by the hot weather to the soldiers were swept away, and everyone became refreshed.

In order to show the best side in front of Zhu Nao, the army quickly started a new round of training under the command of Yu Changming.

=====

A month later.

Zhu Nao was sitting in the carriage, he was a little tired from the long journey, so he fell asleep in the carriage.The car body suddenly jolted, shaking him awake.He moved to the car window, raised the curtain, and looked at the scene outside the car window.

"Young Master." Jing Zhe rode the horse to the window, controlled the speed of the horse, and moved forward with the carriage.

Zhu Nao knew the way here, and said, "There are still seven or eight miles to Chengdu, right?"

Jing Zhe nodded: "Yes, I should be able to arrive before the sun sets today."

The two were talking, when suddenly a forbidden soldier in charge of the road came back from the front on horseback.

"General Cheng!" He galloped to the side of the carriage, saw that Zhu Nao was there, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Nao, "Your Majesty."

Zhu Nao asked, "What's wrong?"

The forbidden army said: "Your Majesty, General Cheng, a large number of people and horses were found about a mile ahead, and I have ordered my subordinates to go ahead to investigate the situation."

Zhu Nao and Cheng Jingzhe looked at each other.

Cheng Jingzhe said: "Let the team slow down and report to me immediately after finding out the situation ahead."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the person who was sent out to investigate the situation returned, and brought back a defender from Chengdu.

"Your Majesty, it was the people in the city who heard that His Majesty was returning to Shu, and they all came out of the city to greet him. There were too many people, so they lined up for several miles."

Zhu Nao and Jing Zhe laughed.

Jing Zhe said: "With so many people, I don't know if the defenders in Chengdu have enough manpower to maintain order... Let His Majesty's car drive more slowly, I will lead the troops there to preside over order first."

Zhu Nao nodded, Jing Zhe led the troops forward first.

The carriage walked slowly for a while, as expected, the crowds on both sides of the road were bustling, all the people who came out to welcome Zhu Nao after hearing the news.Men, women and children gathered together, and when they saw Zhu Nao's chariot approaching, the cheers made the city tower tremble.

"His Majesty!!"

"Long live Your Majesty!!"

"Ahhhh, Your Majesty!!"

It was the first time for Zhu Nao to return to Shu after becoming emperor, and he did not expect that the people in Chengdu would be more enthusiastic than before.He originally wanted to get out of the carriage, but Jing Zhe and the others were terrified. They were afraid that the common people would see him become more enthusiastic, and even the army could not control them, so they quickly persuaded him to go back into the carriage.

The city gate was also blocked by the people pouring out. After a lot of effort, the army finally restored order and cleared the way, allowing Zhu Nao to enter the city without any danger.

After staying in the city for three days, Zhu Nao learned about the people's sentiments in Sichuan these years, and confirmed that the officials had not falsely reported that everything in Sichuan was safe, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the major workshops were also thriving.On the fourth day, Jun Nao left the city and rushed to the army station not far away.

……

The discipline of the army is far better than that of the common people. Although I have heard the news that Jun Nao is coming to inspect today, the army did not rush to meet each other.

When Zhu Nao's chariot came near the barracks, he saw a group of people standing on the road to greet him from a distance, the leader riding on a tall horse, looking heroic.

When the holy car approached, the man jumped off the horse, knelt down and saluted, and said loudly: "The last general, Yu Changming, welcome the holy car here!"

The soldiers behind him knelt down in unison as he moved, shouting: "Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!" The mountains shook with their voices.

Junao got off the carriage and walked forward.He went straight to Yu Changming, helped Yu Changming up with his own hands, looked at the soldiers, and said loudly: "All generals, please stand up!"

Everyone said in unison again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" They stood up neatly and stood at attention. Thousands of people were like one, which was magnificent.

Zhu Nao and Yu Changming haven't seen each other for many years, they looked at each other for a moment and smiled.

Yu Changming said: "The soldiers have been training hard for a month, just to perform in front of you today. Go in and have a look."

Zhu Nao smiled and said, "Go in!"
