Looking at Zhang Yuan sitting on the chair, playing with her jewelry and powder on the table, the joy on her face has not faded at all.
"Zitong," Liu Chan said suddenly, "are these tables and chairs really so good?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Yuan nodded and affirmed: "It's very good, Zi Tong likes it very much."
"Okay!"
After getting Zhang Yuan's affirmation, Liu Chan suddenly thought of something.
Three days later——
West side of Chengdu Imperial Palace.
Guo Mansion.
This is a general who recently surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Guo Huai’s residence in Chengdu was specially arranged by the Prime Minister’s Mansion. It is a three-entry courtyard.
Early in the morning.
A pair of imperial guards walked up the street. The servants of the Guo Mansion did not find it strange. There have been quite a few government personnel coming and going from the Guo Mansion in the past few days.
I thought it should be a gift from the imperial court.
"The Queen is here!"
When a carriage stopped in front of the gate, the leading eunuch sang and drank loudly.
The servants of the Guo Mansion hurriedly stood on both sides of the gate in a polite manner, while a boy in the courtyard hurried into the inner courtyard.
Not long after, more than 20 members of the Guo family came out in a hurry to greet him.
"Meet the Queen!"
"Old lady, please excuse me!"
Zhang Yuan stepped forward quickly, supported Guo's mother, and said: "It has been many days since the old lady came to Shu, and I have not been able to come to visit. Please forgive me."
Before Mother Guo could speak, Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Recently, the craftsmen in the palace have made some practical tables and chairs. I think the old lady may use them." As he spoke, Zhang Yuan pointed to the eunuchs behind him to carry them over.
tables and chairs.
Naturally, Mother Guo has never seen these tables and chairs.
Guo's mother bowed and said, "The Guo family is just a family member of a surrendered general. How dare you accept the queen's gift in vain?"
"Old Madam," Zhang Yuan said, "General Guo has returned to the Han Dynasty with great righteousness. How can we surrender to show him? Old Madam must not talk about surrendering. Since General Guo has returned to the Han, he is a good general of our great Han Dynasty."
Although Zhang Yuan is young, she is still the mother of a country. Today she came to deliver gifts in person. Now that she said these words, Guo's mother had no choice but to give up. Then she bowed again and invited Queen Zhang Yuan to enter the Guo Mansion.

Accompanying Zhang Yuan into the Guo Mansion were naturally the eunuchs carrying tables and chairs. As soon as everyone entered the atrium, Zhang Yuan asked the eunuchs to put the tables and chairs.
"Old Madam," Zhang Yuan supported Guo's mother and said with a smile, "Old Madam, please sit down and try."
Guo's mother wanted to refuse. After all, there is a difference between a monarch and his ministers. There is a principle for ministers and their families to sit down in front of the queen, but Zhang Yuan had already helped her sit down on a chair.
"Queen!" Just as Mrs. Guo was about to speak, Zhang Yuan asked again: "How do you feel, Madam? Is this chair suitable for sitting on?"
Only then did Guo’s mother react.
This chair looks strange, she has never seen it before.
But sitting on it and leaning on the back of the chair, I feel relaxed and at ease.
A big man actually has such a rare thing.
"Back to the queen!" Guo's mother said happily: "This chair is very good."
Zhang Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "As long as the old lady likes it, I will change it to the Japanese Palace and ask people to send more. This is something that Your Majesty has thought about recently, and the craftsmen in the palace are rushing to make it."
!!!
As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Guo's mother was stunned.
Is this another object created by the Han Emperor?
When she was in Luoyang, she once heard someone say that Liu Chan, the emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, did not like to govern the country, but he liked to make some inventions.
Moreover, every invention and creation immediately arouses the popularity of the world as soon as it comes out.
First, refined salt was produced, and later maltose, high-quality Sichuan wine, etc. were produced.
When she was in Chang'an before, she heard her son Guo Huai say that Liu Chan, the Emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, was by no means a mediocre king in the eyes of the world. In the battle of Guanzhong between the Han and Wei dynasties, this emperor personally led a surprise attack on Guanzhong.
With lightning speed, they quickly captured Tongguan, Wuguan, and Pubanjin, resulting in Cao Wei's defeat.
And more importantly, this emperor was kind-hearted. He used lime to repel Cao Wei's army that day, but after the war, he sent someone to the Wei camp to inform him of the treatment method.
Although the two armies were facing each other at the time, this idea seemed a bit naive. After all, being kind to the enemy was not what a general should think of.
But he is the emperor.
The emperor is kind, which is the blessing of the people.
It is always hundreds of times better than the cruel and unkind emperor.
More importantly, Guo Huai did not sincerely surrender to the Shu Han at Tongguan. At first, he just pretended to surrender, thinking that when the time was right, he would assist the Wei army to conquer Tongguan in one fell swoop, or find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Chan.
But——
When Liu Chan returned from Guohuai and surrendered, Liu Chan was not wary of him at all. He often discussed military affairs with him. When the Han army fought with the Wei army, he even played chess with him and never regarded him as a surrendered general.<
/p>
And more importantly, after capturing Chang'an.
Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, originally wanted to kill Cao Zhen and other Cao Wei generals, but Liu Chan used Cao Zhen and others to make a deal with Cao Rui in exchange for his family.
It was only when all his family members entered Tongguan that Guo Huai truly sincerely decided to surrender to Liu Chan's Han Dynasty.
Kind, brave, and talented.
This is Guo Huai’s evaluation of Liu Chan.
However, Guo's mother did not agree with her son's actions. After all, the Guo family was loyal to the Wei Dynasty, and betraying the Wei Dynasty would be disloyal.
But their son had surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and they had no place to stand in Cao Wei, so they had no choice but to leave Luoyang.
Now come to Chengdu.
The imperial court first arranged a house for the Guo family, and the servants were even more carefully arranged. Now the queen came to the house in person to reward her. Even if Guo's mother's heart was made of iron, at this moment, she was completely melted by the Han Dynasty.
To sum it up, the Guo family in Taiyuan originally belonged to Hanchen.
Guo's mother hurriedly got up, led the entire Guo family, and respectfully paid homage to Zhang Yuan: "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness. The Guo family will be loyal to the Han Dynasty in the future, and the Han Dynasty will live forever."
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"..."
Hearing everyone in the Guo family shouting in unison that the Han Dynasty would last for ten thousand years, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel relaxed. Emperor Liu Chan had spoken to her the day before yesterday.
Guo's mother seemed to have a lot of worries when she came to Shu this time.
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan was in urgent need of a large number of talents due to the current disputes among the Three Kingdoms.
Guo Huai is a talented general, and he was the first Wei general to surrender to him. Liu Chan knew that the kind of courtesy Guo Huai received in the Han Dynasty was directly related to whether he would attract more talented people from all over the world in the future.
I just had a batch of newly made tables and chairs, so I thought of letting Zhang Yuan, as the mother of the country, take these tables and chairs to visit Guo Huai's family.
We must let the Guo family know that after returning to the Han Dynasty, they were no worse than they were in Cao Wei, but instead received more respect and courtesy.
"Old madam, please excuse me quickly!"
Zhang Yuan once again helped Guo's mother up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty loves General Guo's talents deeply. With General Guo as his assistant, the Han Dynasty will surely prosper." After looking around, Zhang Yuan said again: "Old Madam
When you first enter Shu, if there is any shortage of funds, you can send someone to inform me."
"Thank you, Queen, for your concern," Guo's mother said kindly, "I am in Shu this time, thanks to the court's careful care. Now there is nothing missing at home, please rest assured, Queen!"
"That's good!"
"That's good!"
Zhang Yuan was very satisfied when he heard this, and then he sat down with Guo's mother and chatted, without any pretense of the mother of the country, which made Guo's mother think highly of the young queen in front of her.
