Quick Travel to the Clouds

Zhao Yunru settled the people near the official road to Yongkang County, and those who lived near Kyoto had five days to go home and say goodbye to their families.

On the seventh day after being canonized as prince, Zhao Yunru went to Yongkang County.

Yun Chu left ten of the people he was training in Kyoto to look after the shops and houses and to deliver messages. The others had already gone to Yongkang County in advance.

If they go there early, they can also deal with the bandits along the way.

Along the way, Yun Chu trained three thousand soldiers.

These soldiers dare not be lazy, because if they are lazy, they will shout "I am a lazy guy" all the way.

If you don't shout, you will be beaten by Yun Chu.

Some soldiers would rather be beaten than lose face. Compared with pain, face is more important.

When they arrived at Yongkang County, these 3,000 soldiers seemed to be on par with the elite troops.

Arrived safely in Yongkang County.

Officials from Yongkang County came to greet him.

Zhao Yunru had dinner with these officials and then returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Yunru received an investigation from his subordinates. They found out which political parties these officials belonged to, whether they were corrupt, and even whether they had mistresses.

Yu Zhongxian asked: "Mingxi, how do you plan to subdue these officials?"

Mingxi is the courtesy name that Yu Zhongxian gave to Zhao Yunru. Yun means the idea of ​​hiding. Yu Zhongxian hoped that one day she would not have to hide, so he gave her Mingxi as her courtesy name.

Zhao Yunru pondered for a while and said, "Corrupt officials should be dealt with directly. As for the others, they should be tempted with benefits. If they cannot be tempted, they should be suppressed by force!"

"What do you think, sir?"

"You can't deal with all the corrupt officials. Although they are a scourge to the people, new ones will appear after you deal with them. It's better to subdue some of them and use them for your own benefit."

"As for the others, negotiation first, then threats, is feasible."

After Zhao Yunru discussed with Yu Zhongxian, he wrote invitations and asked the guards to deliver them to various officials.

The time of the invitations Zhao Yunru wrote to each official was different.

Those we will meet tomorrow will all be corrupt officials from Yongkang County.

The next day, the officials who received the invitation came to the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, they were surrounded by guards.

"I don't know what the prince means." Cifu County Magistrate Lu Zhen asked.

"Catch him." Zhao Yunru said calmly.

"As ordered."

The soldiers arrested five people, two of whom were beheaded on the spot.

The three people who were beheaded had committed a lot of corruption and had killed many people, so Zhao Yunru felt there was no need to spare their lives.

The remaining two people, seeing the three people who came with them having their heads chopped off, were so scared that they collapsed to the ground, and one of them even became incontinent.

"Please spare my life, my Lord."

"As long as you listen obediently, you can live. Otherwise, these three people will be your fate." Zhao Yunru said majestically.

"Be obedient, I'll be obedient." One person said perversely.

The person who was frightened to the point of incontinence also quickly expressed his willingness to be obedient.

After dealing with the corrupt person and taking away all the embezzled money, Zhao Yunru began to win over other people.

Under the pressure of force, these people surrendered.

Some pretended to surrender and wanted to report Zhao Yunru's true identity, but they were intercepted by the shadow guards.

After being intercepted, the man who pretended to surrender was killed.

Under Zhao Yun's iron-like tactics, Yongkang County now completely belongs to her.

Zhao Yunru began to develop agriculture at Yun Chu's suggestion.

The corn and sweet potato seeds that Yun Chu had exchanged before began to be promoted in Yongkang County.

In addition to developing agriculture, Yun Chu is also helping Zhao Yunru find iron ore. If you want your soldiers to have strong combat effectiveness, you need weapons.

Yun Chu used his points to help Zhao Yunru find iron mines and gold mines in Yongkang County.

With these two mines, Zhao Yunru's private army expanded rapidly.

Three years passed like this, and Zhao Yunru was already twenty years old.

Zhao Yunru, who was devoted to his career, didn't even have a concubine.

Yun Chu, Yu Zhongxian and other close friends have been persuading Zhao Yunru to find a husband since she was 18 years old, but Zhao Yunru directly refused, saying that she should wait until Yongkang County was developed.

Now that Yongkang County has developed, Zhao Yunru is preparing to take over the neighboring county.

Yun Chu and Yu Zhongxian sighed deeply, both wondering if their own educational methods were wrong.

How come the prince has no interest in love affairs?

Yu Zhongxian still suspected that Zhao Yunru had barren disease, but after the doctor examined her, Zhao Yunru was found to be very healthy and had no problems at all.

Zhao Yunru trained the soldiers and returned to the mansion. Before she entered the room, she heard breathing sounds in the room. She pushed open the door and sure enough, a naked handsome man was lying on the bed.

Zhao Yunru held her forehead with her hand, thinking that this must have been arranged by the teacher.

"Put on your clothes and go out." Zhao Yunru said calmly.

"My Lord, my clothes are not here."

"Prince, please don't drive me out. If you drive me out, I will definitely be punished." The man looked at Zhao Yunru pleadingly with a pair of clear eyes. He looked as pitiful as he could be.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yunru is not a man who is kind to women.

"Someone, carry him down to me."

"Yes." The guard carried the man away.

Zhao Yunru went directly to find Yu Zhongxian.

"Sir, please stop sending people to my room. When the time comes, I will get married."

"Mingxi, you are already twenty years old. The second princess and the grand princess are younger than you, and they have already got married and had children." Yu Zhongxian was anxious.

"Sir, when the time comes, I will get married."

Yun Chu suddenly appeared and said, "Master, when will your destiny come? If it never comes, then are you not going to get married?"

"Aunt, don't be impatient. Once I have the people of Dong County under my command, I will definitely find a county concubine."

"Okay, this is what you said. If you don't find it, don't blame me, your aunt. I will help you find one."

"Okay, okay." Zhao Yunru nodded helplessly.

Although Zhao Yunru is a prince, her aunt Yunchu is a closer relative to her than her mother.

So Zhao Yunru didn't dare to be angry with Yun Chu, for fear of angering Yun Chu.

Zhao Yunru went back to the study.

Half a month later, Zhao Yunru received news from Kyoto.

An earthquake occurred in Kyoto, half of the imperial palace collapsed, and the tenth princess, the thirteenth prince, and others died in the earthquake.

His Majesty was also injured, and countless people in Kyoto were killed and injured.

Now, His Majesty has issued an order for the two princes to return to Kyoto to rescue the people.

Zhao Yunru did not expect that there would be another earthquake in Kyoto, and she was worried that Queen Feng would not make a fuss about this incident.

Zhao Yunru immediately called Yu Zhongxian, Yun Chu, and his soldiers to discuss the trip to Kyoto.

Zhao Yunru expressed her concerns.

Yun Chu said, "Not only Queen Feng, I think His Majesty might want to blame this unrest on you, my master."

"Your Majesty wants to find someone to take the blame in order to give an explanation to the people and court officials." This ancient man did not know that earthquakes were caused by the movement of the earth's crust.

They would only think that it was a warning from God, or that the emperor was incompetent. How could His Majesty admit that he was incompetent? He would definitely push the matter onto his master and let him take the blame.

It is said that the earthquake was caused by this disaster star.

When the time comes, kill the master to appease public anger.

After hearing Yun Chu say this, everyone felt that it was very possible.

General Wu Lin said, "Then this time when we enter Kyoto, it will be very dangerous for the master."

“It can be said that it is full of dangers.” Yun Chu said.

"Master, if it were me, I would just disobey your order and not go." Situ Min said.
