The next morning, it was dawn.
The city gate of Chengdu has just opened.
After more than two hours of turbulence, Liu Chan and Zhang Yuan finally returned to Chengdu.
After entering the city, Liu Chan did not return directly to the palace. He first went to the small courtyard behind the palace.
The broken courtyard is still the same broken courtyard. There are no special changes. The only difference is that it is cleaner than it was more than 20 days ago.
"Zhang Shao!"
"Zhang Shao!"
As soon as Liu Chan entered the courtyard, he started shouting. Several Zhang family members who had gotten up early in the courtyard were so frightened that they hurried over and knelt down to Liu Chan.
"Where is your young master?" Liu Chan asked casually: "Don't Zhang Shao live here?"
Liu Chan was a little angry at first, but before he left, he specifically told Zhang Shao to live in this ruined courtyard before he returned to the palace.
However, Liu Chan just finished speaking.
Zhang Shao ran out of a house with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Shao ran over and saluted Liu Chan. Zhang Yuan on the side glared at Zhang Shao. He wanted to scold his brother for not knowing etiquette, but he was blocked by Liu Chan's laughter.
"Okay, hurry up and put on your clothes."
Liu Chan said with a smile that his brother-in-law is a good person. If his martial arts skills can match those of his brother Zhang Bao, he will definitely be able to revive the Han Dynasty and make contributions in the future.
What a pity.
Although this boy is quite hard-working, he only has talent in martial arts and has not inherited from Mr. Zhang. However, his literary talent is relatively better.
Zhang Shao went back to get dressed, Liu Chan strolled back and forth in the yard, and the sky gradually became brighter.
"Zitong, please go back to the palace first!"
Liu Chan asked Zhang Yuan to go back to the palace first. Although Zhang Shao had kept this place clean, it was not as good as the palace after all.
Zhang Yuan was still a little sleepy at this time, so he was woken up by Liu Chan in the middle of the night and sat in a carriage for more than two hours.
After Zhang Yuan left, the Zhang family's tribe began to practice again every day. More than forty tribe members, led by a strong man in his thirties, began to practice weapon routines.
Not to mention, it looks like that.
Everybody, hey hey hey from time to time.
If you pass by the small courtyard, you must think that there is a military camp inside.
Liu Chan watched for a while, then called Zhang Shao aside and asked casually: "Is there anything unusual lately?"
Zhang Shao shook his head: "Your Majesty, nothing unusual happened, and no one has been here."
"Oh!" Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction. It seems that Zhang Shao has been acting pretty well these days.
"That's right!" Liu Chan suddenly looked expectant: "How do the seedlings grow?"
Counting the days, almost a month has passed since I planted the small seedlings.
According to the memory of the previous life, it only takes one month to plant the small seedlings before starting to plant the big ones, and now it’s almost the same.
"Back to Your Majesty!" Zhang Shao said with some excitement: "The seedlings are growing very well, almost this high. I just visited them the day before yesterday."
Zhang Shao started gesticulating as he spoke.
According to Zhang Shao's calculations, the seedlings were almost ten centimeters tall, and Liu Chan was very satisfied.
Zhang Shao and Liu Chan were chatting in the dilapidated courtyard, when a young eunuch from the palace ran into the harem.
"Manager Fu!"
"Master Shangshu asked to see Your Majesty and is waiting outside the palace."
Fu'an had just returned to the palace with Queen Zhang Yuan and was sitting in the room drinking tea. When he heard the little eunuch's report, he calmly took a sip of tea.
"Got it!"
The little eunuch left, and Fu An walked outside with a relaxed expression.
It won’t take a while.
Fu'an came to the palace gate and saw Chen Zhen, the minister waiting here from a distance.
Chen Zhen also saw Fu An. When Fu An came up to him, Chen Zhen said politely: "Manager Fu, can I meet with His Majesty today?"
Fu'an saluted and said politely: "What are you talking about, Master Shangshu? Your Majesty is waiting for you."
"Master Shangshu, please come this way!"
Fu'an walked happily outside the palace, which made Chen Zhen a little confused and asked: "Where is your Majesty now?"
"Your Majesty went to train soldiers early this morning!"
Fu'an replied with a smile, yesterday's nervousness had long since disappeared.
Pass through the palace city and go around a long corridor.
Chen Zhen was led to the entrance of the ruined courtyard by Fu An. Fu An stopped and bowed slightly to Chen Zhen: "Sir, Lord Shangshu, please go in and report later."
Chen Zhen nodded politely.
Fu'an walked into the broken courtyard with small steps. The troops in the broken courtyard were practicing, and Liu Chan and Zhang Shao were chatting aside.
"Your Majesty!"
Fu'an walked over and whispered: "Master Shangshu, we are here."
"Oh, it came fast enough!"
"Zhang Shao, please step aside."
Liu Chan first asked Zhang Shao to avoid it, and then asked Fu'an to pass on Chen Zhen, the minister.
Liu Chan leisurely watched the troops practice.
Not long.
Fu'an led Chen Zhen in from outside.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Chen Zhen saluted Liu Chan.
"Chen Aiqing, please forgive me!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After a simple courtesy, Liu Chan pointed to the troops being practiced and asked Chen Zhen: "Chen Aiqing, come and take a look. How are the soldiers I have been training these days?"
Liu Chan and Chen Zhen had not had much interaction before, that is, when Chen Zhen entered the court at the beginning of the year, they met a few times in the court hall.
Chen Zhen is in his sixties and cautious in doing things.
Perhaps it was because of this that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang allowed him to serve as Shangshu.
Today was the first time to be alone in a quiet distance. Liu Chan didn't know what to talk about with this old man.
It's better to talk about these soldiers.
Chen Zhen looked at it, bowed to Liu Chan and said: "Your Majesty is gifted with geniuses, and all the soldiers he trains are brave."
Bah!
Of course Liu Chan doesn't believe this.
Who wouldn’t say a compliment?
Of course, it is impossible for Chen Zhen to say, what kind of things are you training, His Majesty the Emperor?
After watching the soldiers training for a while, Chen Zhen didn't say anything useful, and he was a little embarrassed.
Because he had nothing important to do with Liu Chan, but he heard from some officials in the past few days that His Majesty the Emperor might not be in the palace.
This has happened once before.
He took the queen and Zhuge Qiao out of Chengdu with great fanfare.
Finally, he ran to the countryside and went to the fields to plant rice in front of the people.
This seemed to be somewhat different from the Liu Chan he knew, and now some officials suspected that the emperor was not in the palace.
As the minister, Chen Zhen thought of using the excuse of meeting the emperor to confirm whether the emperor was in the palace or not.
When I asked to see you yesterday.
Fu'an, the emperor's personal eunuch, refused Chen Zhen's interview on the grounds that the emperor was tired from training his soldiers and was resting.
I didn’t want to actually see the emperor today.
He really trains soldiers here.
Now that he has met the emperor, the stone hanging in Chen Zhen's heart has finally fallen to the ground.
This would cost the emperor.
When Prime Minister Zhuge Liang comes back, I'm afraid all the court officials will be killed.
