Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 36 Trust me as you trust me! The angry Huan Yi believes that this family cannot be without an heir!

Chu Shizhao, who has calmed down, must face the current difficulties he is facing.

Huan Jie's current situation is equivalent to being kidnapped by the entire Liangzhou Group. His code of conduct must be based on appeasing the Liangzhou soldiers and safeguarding the overall demands of the Liangzhou Group as well as his personal interests.

It wasn't that Chu Shizhao didn't have the opportunity to win over Huan Jie.

However, there is a prerequisite for winning over the other party, which is that Chu Shizhao must also meet the collective demands of the Liangzhou Group.

In other words, the best time for Chu Shizhao to win over Huan Sheng might be before Huan Jie entered the capital, by first pushing up Huan Sheng's status, ensuring that Huan Sheng became a core member of his team, and allowing the people of Liangzhou to gain a higher status among his own subjects.

Then, through Huan Sheng's influence, it radiated to Huan Jie, and then continued to expand from Huan Jie to other senior officials in Liangzhou.

It is best to demonstrate sufficiently convincing ability, otherwise it will be difficult to subdue these rebellious generals.

In fact, Chu Shizhao and Huan Jie were highly compatible to some extent, because the aristocratic families definitely influenced the rule of the Zhou royal family.

If Huan Jie could obey Chu Shizhao completely, Chu Shizhao would have wanted to send all these princes and ministers away.

He is useless, a hindrance, and exploits the people at every turn, and he puts the blame on the royal family of the Great Zhou. What a human being.

Unfortunately, Chu Shizhao did not expect the situation to change into this state at that time, or perhaps things developed too quickly, and Chu Shizhao did not have the space to communicate with Huan Jie.

[On September 12, the 30th year of the Yongjin reign, you hid in Chang'an, but were eventually revealed by the aristocratic families who had been intimidated by Huan Jie.]

[You were taken into custody in the Heavenly Prison.]

[That night, Huan Sheng found you in the prison with bloodshot eyes.]

[“Your Highness, do you have the ambition to govern the country and rectify the injustice in the world?” He just said this sentence when he came up, and then seemed to be waiting for your reply. ]

[“A real man lives in the world, how can he not think about the world’s return?” You said coldly: “But I don’t want to be a chess piece in your hands.”]

[“I want to resign and follow you to work together for the great cause, to restore peace to the world and to work hard for the well-being of all the people.” Huan Sheng bluntly said: “What Huan Jie did was to bring about his own destruction.”]

[“If it is about to fall, then our Huan clan will surely perish.”]

【He sighs.】

[“So, you plan to find me and risk everything?” At this moment, you already understand Huan Sheng’s thoughts. ]

[“I am willing to follow you, Your Highness, through life and death.” Huan Sheng seemed to have made up his mind and knelt on the ground. ]

【“But I am just a prisoner now.” You face the current danger calmly. 】

【Huan Sheng cuts off the chains on your body with one sword.】

[“Ayi has already prepared the carriage and horses. We can leave the capital through a side door. After all, Huan Jie is my brother. He will definitely not dare to chase and kill me.”]

[You take a deep breath, reach out and gently stroke Huan Sheng's right hand and say: "Trust you as you trust me. I will never let you down for the rest of my life if I can restore the world."]

[“You are like the green mountains, and I am like the pine and cypress. Even if we are crushed to pieces, I will never let you down.” Huan Sheng showed a surprised look, and then he was moved and said, “This is not the time for us to talk nonsense. Please follow me and leave this place of trouble.”]

【Hwansung pledged his loyalty to you.】

You expressed your position and attitude.

[Congratulations on unlocking a new bond entry. ]

[Your Majesty is Like a Green Mountain]: When you and a certain minister have made an oath, if you do not violate this oath, the other party will never betray you or violate the position of the monarch and the minister. (Your morality +10.)
[I am like pine and cypress]: When you and a specific monarch reach an oath, if you do not violate this oath, the other party will never betray you or violate the position of monarch and subject. (Your morality +10, your position is the same as the monarch you choose.)
【Please remember your promise. 】

[If one person betrays, the bond term will be lost permanently. ]

At this moment, Huan Yi was almost going crazy.

Because Huan Sheng was always in an unstable position, she began to repeatedly persuade her brother to rescue King Jin.

At that time, Huan Yi persuaded Huan Sheng with the following reason - with multiple bets, if his second brother put himself in a dead end, they still had a way out.

If the second brother really succeeds, considering our blood relationship, he will not be persecuted any more.

In this way, Huan Sheng was loyal to the court, while Huan Jie betrayed the court.

Whoever wins will have his or her name recorded in history.

After all this time, it turned out that her elder brother, after this period of contact, actually had feelings of loyalty to Chu Shizhao.

Her persuasion was just the icing on the cake.

[On September 15, the 30th year of Yongjin, a carriage leaving Beijing gradually went farther and farther away, and you finally left Chang'an.]

【At the General's Mansion. 】

[“General, the King of Jin has fled Chang’an. There may be trouble. We should send troops to hunt him down.” A scholar-like man advised, “Since we have already risked the world’s disapproval, we should do it once and for all.”][“There are defense lines of our Liangzhou army on these three routes. How can he escape?”]

[“I have my own plan, so you don’t need to tell me.” Huan Jie said indifferently, “Ask General Huangfu to come over.”]

[On September 16, the 30th year of Yongjin, most of the Liangzhou soldiers on Chu Shizhao's way out of Beijing retreated, as if they were intentionally avoiding him.]

[On September 20th of the 30th year of Yongjin, General Huan Jie asked the Emperor Chu Shixu to issue an edict to confer the title of King of Jin on him and to send him to Lu County to be enfeoffed.]

[Chu Shizhao was quite surprised when he received this imperial decree, but he accepted it without hesitation and went to Lu County.]

[Lu County was formerly known as Yanzhou. It was an important political and military region during the Zhou Dynasty. Its geographical location connected Qizhou to the north, Xuzhou to the south, Yunzhou to the west, and Yizhou to the east, making it an important transportation hub.]

[In October of the 30th year of the Yongjin reign, according to the time of the previous emperor's death, the new emperor's reign title should be established immediately, and the ministers submitted a memorial to advise against it.]

[There are three reign titles: Kangxing, Jiande, and Guangwei. ]

[Chu Shixu preferred Kangxing, but Huanjie did not choose this reign title in the court, but told the ministers that he liked Guangwei more.]

[Soon the ministers thought that the reign title of Guangwei was more suitable for the newly enthroned emperor Chu Shixu.]

[In November of the 30th year of Yongjin, Chu Shixu was unwilling to be coerced by Huan Jie, so he issued a secret decree to those noble families who were "loyal" to the Zhou Dynasty to fight against the rebels.]

[When Chu Xuanhong, the King of Shu who was far away in Shu and the younger brother of Emperor Zhengguang and Emperor Yongjin, received the imperial edict, his secret edict was accidentally leaked. ]

【The government and the public were shocked.】

[For a while, due to the secret edict case, Huan Jie took advantage of the situation to eliminate dissidents and suppress the Chang'an gentry who had a considerable status in Chang'an. A large number of aristocratic families were implicated in the case, and blood flowed like a river overnight. ]

[In December of the 30th year of the Yongjin reign, the emperor Chu Shixu suddenly fell ill and died in the palace. Soon after, Huan Jie appointed the Yongjin emperor's seventh son, Chu Shiju, who was only seven years old, as the new emperor.]

[On January 7, the first year of Guangwei, Fanyang Jiedushi Ma Su'an rebelled, believing that Huan Jie controlled the government and was a traitor. He was determined to support the Zhou royal family and called on Jiedushi from all over the country to fight against the rebels.]

[In the same month, Chu Shizhao recruited nearly 3000 soldiers in Lu County, but he clearly understood his own strength and knew that he was alone and weak and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything, so he decided to accumulate strength for the time being.]

【Due to Huan Sheng's excellent ability in domestic affairs, the people's livelihood in Lu County, which had been in decline, improved in a short period of time. He investigated the administration of officials and dismissed those officials in Lu County who were not doing their job.】

Chu Shizhao implemented the "Kaocheng Law" in Lu County, which was a system for reviewing the performance of officials. This made Lu County's administration clean and fair, and it was thriving.

Chu Shizhao looked at the booming economy of Lu County and patiently began each round of operations.

Wait for him to grow for another two or three years.

It is worth mentioning that Chu Shizhao noticed that Huan Yi in the lower left corner was giving him gifts at a high frequency.

The constantly popping up red heart messages were still able to distract some of Chu Shizhao's attention.

However, he just didn't understand what Huan Yi was doing.

No, you are a girl with high intelligence and good internal affairs skills, so come and do something for me.

There's almost not enough manpower.

Thinking of this, Chu Shizhao immediately arranged for Huan Yi to be responsible for the construction and management of Lu County and let her be responsible for the regional infrastructure.

Huan Yi looked at the sudden increase in work schedules on his head, and his face turned red again because of Chu Shizhao's lack of understanding of his romantic feelings.

Am I your wife?

I am your legal wife?

Can you do what a husband should do?
I just don’t believe it.

Huan Yi clicked an action angrily.

This wooden head is really no good.

I still have to take the initiative!
As a monarch without even an heir, how can you win the hearts of your ministers?

Right?

Anyway, Huan Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with her idea.

Only with an heir can there be a better future!

Only then can everyone believe that your foundation will not be destroyed halfway.

[You initiated an interactive plot against Chu Shizhao.]

After successfully persuading himself to let go of the slightly awkward feeling of reserve in his heart, Huan Yi immediately took the initiative to ask Chu Shizhao for a hug.

Please perform your duties as a husband well!
