Many refugees were panic-stricken, and everyone was at a loss outside Wuchang City. If the King of Chu left, no one would care about them. Everyone became anxious, and some people took the initiative to write a book of ten thousand people.
When Pang Man presented the Book of Ten Thousand People to Zhu Muchen, he was quite shocked, "If we leave, no one will care about the refugees outside Wuchang City. Pang Man, I order you to stay here and assist the local magistrate.
Liu Ye, let’s manage the refugees together.”
Now that he has done a lot of good deeds, Zhu Muchen will not give up halfway. He understands the prayers of the refugees and simply makes a decision with a wave of his hand.
Pang Man frowned slightly and hesitated to speak. In the end, he couldn't hold it back. He turned around and came back even though he had already gone out. "Your Majesty, I have left you here to protect you. If you want to go to the capital, the road ahead will be dangerous."
It’s extremely difficult, why not let me accompany you.”
"No need, I have Aji, Sihu and the others by my side. There will never be any mistakes. If someone in the capital makes a move against me, it can only be the emperor. You can't stop the emperor's orders.
Don’t worry, I will be extremely careful.”
The King of Chu accepted everyone's opinions in the letter to the people and repeatedly promised that the victims inside and outside Wuchang would never be displaced. With Zhu Muchen's guarantee, the people inside and outside Wuchang immediately settled down and thanked King Chu one after another.
The prefect Liu Ye was even more grateful. He already knew Guo Can's fate and had close contact with him, so he was afraid that the King of Chu might plot against him.
These days I have been like a rat in the gutter. Although I have been following the King of Chu to help the refugees, I am also afraid that one day my head will fall to the ground. I did not expect that when King Chu left, he entrusted me with a big responsibility, cried bitterly, and left with gifts.
Coming to the door.
As soon as the prefect Liu Ye came to the door of Zhu Muchen's study, before he saw Zhu Muchen, he knelt down with a plop and said, "Thank you King Chu for your kindness and compassion. I will definitely live up to King Chu's trust and completely reorganize Wuchang City."
stand up."
On the bluestone floor, Aji could clearly hear the sound of kowtowing, each one clearer than the last. Just as he was about to get up, the prince came out.
As soon as he saw Zhu Muchen coming out, Liu Ye kowtowed his head even louder, "Thank you so much for your promotion, I will bear it in my heart. I will definitely not let down the good wishes of your Majesty and the people."
"I will keep my eyes peeled and make friends after I get down. I promise to the prince that I have never done anything to hurt the Prince of Chu's palace..."
Seeing that his forehead was red and swollen, Zhu Muchen couldn't laugh or cry. He had checked out the prefect Liu Ye before. He had been working conscientiously in the prefecture for the past few years. He was indeed a good official serving the people, otherwise his father would not have chosen him.
"Okay, get up!" Zhu Muchen gave him a slight hand.
Liu Ye was flattered and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"You have never participated in the harm to the Prince of Chu's Mansion. I will definitely not involve you without reason. You have acted fairly in the past few years in the magistrate's office. Every time the people are in trouble, you rush to the front, and I see it.
Here, the things done by local officials will be recorded, and you are the most suitable candidate. I will never anger you because of your close association with Guo Can."
Zhu Muchen's words made the prefect Liu Ye completely relieved and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He used to say that King Chu was a fool. After he came to power, he even plundered Wuchang City's money.
But now Liu Ye understood that the people around him who spoke ill of the King of Chu before were either businessmen or officials, big and small, all because the King of Chu touched their interests and gave more benefits to the people.
"Old minister, I understand. Since the King of Chu has agreed, I will do my best from now on. The King of Chu is a gentleman, and I admire you!"
If he didn't accept the gift, I'm afraid the prefect would not dare to leave now, so without hesitation, Zhu Muchen accepted the gift. When he came, he looked like a mouse with its tail between its legs, but now there was wind under his feet, and he couldn't help laughing.
Shang Ziyou came over with her child in her arms, "It's hot today, so I took Anping out to bask in the sun."
Princess Anping was already three months old. When she saw Zhu Muchen, she spat excitedly and laughed.
After hugging the child, Zhu Muchen turned to look at the Prince of Chu's Mansion. This was the place where his father, queen, mother and concubines lived. Although they would be prepared when they arrived in Nanjing, now in Wuchang City, there were two people who were very good to him.
The elder said, "Zi You, call the two of them tomorrow and we will go to say goodbye to our father, queen, mother and concubine."
The next day, Zhu Muchen led the three concubines to go together. When they arrived at the tomb of his father, the queen and his mother, Zhu Muchen burned some paper and said, "Father, queen and concubine, don't worry. After I arrive in the capital, I will be careful and take good care of them and the children.
.”
Seeing the paper money being burned away, Xiaoman and others burst into tears. It would be great if their father, queen, mother and concubine were still alive.
Going down from the mountain, we will set off tomorrow. In fact, there are not many things to haul. There is all the furniture there. The Prince of Chu's Mansion here will not be occupied. Zhu Muchen thought, maybe he will come back to take a look in the future.
Zhu Muchen and the three concubines were sitting in a huge carriage. Both sides of the carriage were covered with thick quilts, and there was a special resting place on one side.
Seeing that Xu Xin was tired and wanted to accompany him again, Zhu Muchen sighed, "You go to the carriage behind and lie down for a while. I will accompany you there first. When you fall asleep, I will ask Aunt Su to accompany you."
good?"
She nodded obediently. After becoming pregnant, Xu Xin no longer had the reserved attitude before. Instead, she became more and more attached to Zhu Muchen. She lay in his arms like a kitten, "Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty."
The carriage behind was very spacious. Zhu Muchen carried her in and just put her down, ready to pat her back and let her rest. However, Xu Xin, like a beautiful snake, crawled along his arm to his shoulder,
Give him a gentle kiss.
His whole body was numb, and Zhu Muchen tried his best to endure it, "Xin'er, you're pregnant!"
"The medical officer has said that I have passed the four-month critical period and everything is fine. Could it be that the prince doesn't want me anymore?" Xu Xin's tone was full of resentment, and her eyes were even more aggrieved, "It must be because she is pregnant.
, it doesn’t look good.”
What was going on? Now that the medical officer had said it, Zhu Muchen simply couldn't bear it anymore and pulled her over.
After a while, after seeing her satiated and lying comfortably on one side, Zhu Muchen pulled up the quilt for her and arranged her clothes. Then Zhu Muchen asked Aunt Su to come in and take care of her first, and then went to the carriage in front.
Zhu Muchen was relieved that the two princesses had nannies to take care of them, but he was miserable. He didn't have any rest along the way. He was pulled by Xiaoman and Ziyou, and he was forced to push forward all the way.
The King of Chu and his family went to Nanjing and met many hungry people along the way. They saw the luxurious carriages swarming up and refused to let them go.
Zhu Muchen stuck his head out, opened the curtain, and looked at their ragged clothes and green eyes. He had already expected this situation, "Aji, I gave them all the food I asked you to bring at the palace."
Bar."
If they are not separated, these people are blocking them, and they cannot be run over by the carriage. But if they are separated, there may be hidden dangers. After eating this meal, they will still think about the next meal and follow the carriage.
Aji hesitated slightly and took the four tigers to distribute the white cakes. When those people saw it, they rushed forward like hungry wolves. After a while, all the things in their hands were distributed.
Although there were many refugees following behind him, he had to go to Nanjing to return to life, and there could be no further delay. The executive officer also came up to persuade him, "I know that the prince is well-intentioned, but there are so many refugees. If we continue like this, we may all leave in half a month."
Not until Nanjing.”
Under the emperor's feet, the water is deep and hot, and the urgent needs have not been solved. If the king of Chu delays, they will all be finished by then.
Zhu Muchen was also well aware of the stakes involved, so he first asked Aji to lead a team of people to take care of things along the way, while they accelerated to Nanjing.
In the city of Nanjing, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han and His Highness Zhu Zhanji received the news that King Chu was about to enter Nanjing.
The King of Han had underestimated Zhu Muchen before. He thought he was a fool, but he didn't expect him to be so outstanding. It seemed that he had to seriously consider wooing him, so he simply called his entourage and waited directly at the teahouse outside the city.
Not long after he sat down, the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji also landed at another window of the teahouse with a few people behind him. The two looked at each other and sparks flew everywhere.
Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, was the first to break the embarrassment, "I remember that the emperor's nephew is either helping his father with official matters or having close contact with the children of high-ranking officials in the capital. How come he has the leisure to sit here and drink tea?"
Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions. He did not go to the battlefield before, allowing this boy to get a chance. Unexpectedly, the other party still did his part and started arguing with his uncle.
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "It seems that the emperor's uncle has observed me very carefully. He knows this? It's a pity that the emperor's nephew likes to drink tea recently, and friends should be welcomed when they come to the capital, and they should be able to help him clean up his dust."
"I forgot to tell my uncle that I have a life-long friendship with King Chu."
The two of them were going back and forth, as if they were bickering over tea. Finally, when they got tired of talking, they both turned their heads and ignored each other.
Zhu Zhanji asked his followers to go and inquire again. They must wait until King Chu came, stop him at the door, and be the first to greet him. He would never give King Han a chance.
At the same time, the King of Han on the opposite side did not want to be left behind, so he sent someone to inquire. The two were at war with each other, but on the surface they were calm and seemed to be chatting about ordinary things.
Zhu Muchen just saw the gate of Nanjing City and opened the curtain. The three concubines were resting in the carriage behind. He sat in the carriage with a golden sword and admired the outside of Nanjing City.
The refugees outside Nanjing City were driven away, or the gate he walked through was special. There were almost no refugees visible. The scene was prosperous and prosperous, but it was different under the emperor's feet.
When he got closer, he saw that in order to prevent refugees from sneaking in, Nanjing City had strengthened its guards and was conducting checks everywhere. No wonder there were no refugees outside the city.
Treating only the symptoms but not the root cause, Zhu Muchen sneered and covered up the surface. This was indeed what these officials would do, but when he came, he would uncover all of it. There was no use covering the scars until they were sprinkled with medicine and healed.
It just works.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of the city. Before Zhu Muchen got off the carriage, he saw two people walking quickly towards his carriage team. The last two people seemed to be competing, trotting without any trouble.
The image and the gorgeous clothes he is wearing are fluttering in the wind.?
