The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

Early in the morning, Xun Yu woke Liu Zhang up from his sleep, and it turned out that Mianzhu County ordered to send Ma to report that the envoy of the Son of Heaven had arrived in Mianzhu, and the car was driving to Chengdu.

Although the prestige of the Han Emperor is now greatly lost, and the princes are divided and go their own way, but on the surface, they still regard themselves as Han Chen, and they are mainly dedicated to the Han Emperor. Of course, whether or not to obey the holy decree behind it depends on whether the emperor's order is beneficial to oneself, if it is beneficial to oneself, naturally all obey it, but if it is not good for oneself, then the holy decree is probably not as good as a rag for them!

Emperor Han obviously understands this, so he doesn't bother that boring, so since Emperor Xian ascended the throne, every time he sends a holy decree to the princes of all parties, it is nothing more than a promotion, see clearly, there is no "wealth", because the emperor can't take out a penny to reward people, fortunately, the promotion of the princes often means the expansion of territory, so that there are naturally more places to exploit, and the wealth is naturally self-evident. And even this kind of holy decree is not something that can be issued by the emperor if he wants to, Dong Zhuo in the past and Lu Bu now are the real emperors, and he is just a marionette in the hands of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu!

Liu Zhang secretly guessed that he was afraid that he was about to be promoted again, and he was secretly happy, and he had a lot less resentment about Xun Yu waking him up early in the morning, so he immediately asked Xun Yu to prepare ritual utensils and organize officials, gentry, and people in the city to go out of the city to greet him, while he went back to the back house to bathe and change clothes......

Cai Yan learned that the envoy of the emperor had arrived in Mianzhu, and hurriedly got up to serve Liu Zhang.

Half an hour later, Liu Zhang changed into a marquis' clothes, burned incense, cleaned his hands, said goodbye to love for the time being, and left the back house.

Che Riding General's Mansion, headed by Xun Yu, Yan Yan and others, hundreds of officials of all sizes in Chengdu City were dressed in official uniforms, chatting in a low voice with high spirits, and when they saw Liu Zhang coming out, they immediately rushed up to say hello to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang smiled and said, "It's too early to say", and then ordered everyone to go out to greet him.

The 30,000 elites of the Tiger Guard Division and the Chengdu Division have already been deployed along the way, starting from the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, every few steps, there are two brave soldiers on the left and right, standing opposite each other, watching every move around them with blazing eyes.

Liu Zhang boarded the carriage, and the four guards would each ride a horse, divide the four directions, and firmly protect the carriage.

Xun Yu and the others also boarded the carriage and followed Liu Zhang's carriage to the north gate.

Ten miles away, in Sanhe Pavilion, Xun Yu had already ordered the incense case to be placed.

Liu Zhang stepped out of the carriage and, under the support of a group of civil and military personnel, came to the incense case and waited for the arrival of the messenger.

Xun Yu took the time very appropriately, and less than a quarter of an hour after Liu Zhang's arrival, the convoy of the emperor's envoy appeared in front, so that the envoy would not be neglected, nor would Liu Zhang suffer for a long time in the cold wind.

Liu Zhang didn't greet him, and he was already courteous when he went out of the city for ten miles. Of course, if it was a person of high morality like Huang Wan, it would be okay for Liu Zhang to come forward with a smile, but this time it was just a small yellow door, and it was not worth it. The current Xiaohuangmen is not the last years of Emperor Ling, at that time, even the three princes of the court and the middle of the court were careful when they saw the low-ranking and humble Xiaohuangmen, otherwise they would slander in the ears of Emperor Ling, so ......

Seeing the crowd of people in front of them, the little yellow gate who passed the decree couldn't help but secretly rejoice, their generation of little yellow men was out of time and did not have the support of the emperor (their emperor may also want to support them and let them help them master the court, but what ...... They can only survive in the palace, and their "predecessors" reputation is too bad, whether it is a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, or a businessman, they have no good impression of them, and they are almost to the point where everyone shouts and beats, when have they enjoyed such a high-standard courtesy? After returning to Luoyang, you can brag to your companions. After hearing that Liu Zhang personally came out to greet him, this liking immediately turned into panic, what is Liu Zhang's identity? The former general of the Han Dynasty and the new King of Shu, no one can let him die without a place to be buried without moving his fingers, how can he dare to put on a shelf? If Liu Zhang is upset, he is afraid that he will not be able to return to Luoyang in this life!

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly ordered to speed up, the horse's hooves galloped, and after a while, the convoy arrived dozens of zhang in front of Liu Zhang, Xiao Huangmen ordered to stop, jumped out of the carriage and walked forward quickly.

Liu Zhang bowed slightly and said, "Liu Zhang, the general of the chariot, has seen the holy cha!" ”

Xiao Huangmen didn't dare to accept this gift, so he hurriedly flashed to the side, waved his hands together, and said with a hint of trepidation: "Don't dare, don't dare, the villain is just a humble eunuch, how dare he accept the gift of Lord Liu...... Adults, please get up ......."

Liu Zhangyuan didn't want to whisper to a eunuch, so he got off the donkey, straightened his waist, and said, "The holy mission has come from afar, please ......enter the city and rest for a while."

Xiao Huangmen said respectfully: "Don't dare, the villain bears the emperor's order, don't dare to delay, let's pass the decree first!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zhang's face straightened and said.

Xiao Huangmen took out the holy decree, walked to the incense case, opened the holy decree made by Huang Chou, and said in a loud voice: "Under the holy decree, Liu Zhang will take the decree!" ”

"Minister Liu Zhang, take the order!" Liu Zhang led the civil and military officials to kneel on their knees and said.

"Fengtian carries the emperor and the edict says: The monarch seeks governance in the void, and it really depends on the ministers of the humerus...... The traitor Dong Zhuo, the rebellious minister of the country, and his crimes are violent all over the world...... Emperor Uncle Liu Zhang, in order to relieve my worries, worked tirelessly, bowed down to crusade against Dong Yi, and after several months and dozens of battles, extinguished the thief flame and bound the enemy chieftain...... Emperor Uncle Liu Zhang's meritorious service to protect the country, the name is in the world, the merit is in the thousand autumns, Zite enshrined the imperial uncle Liu Zhang as the king of Shu, gave nine tin, licensed the crown of twelve, went out to the police, and the three states of Yiyi, Jing, Liang and the land of the three auxiliaries, hereditary replacement, Yongxi Tianpet, Qin this! ”

Liu Zhang was stunned in his heart, although he knew that he would inevitably be promoted this time, but he never expected that Lu Bu would be so generous this time, and resolutely put a prince's hat on his head, at this moment, he was a little overwhelmed.

Xun Yu, who was also shocked, saw that Liu Zhang had forgotten to accept the order, and hurriedly whispered behind Liu Zhang: "Lord, quickly accept the order......

Only then did Liu Zhang come back to his senses and said: "Minister Liu Zhang received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Xiao Huangmen rolled up the holy decree, handed it to Liu Zhang with both hands, changed his title, and said, "Lord Wang, please ...... quickly."

Liu Zhang stood up with the holy decree in his hand, still in shock in his heart, he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it, he didn't expect that it would only be a few years since he came to this world? turned out to be a prince, haha, this is really a glorious ancestor!

Xiao Huangmen bowed his body and saluted with a smile, and said: "The villain is here to congratulate the prince on his ascension, and now the prince is a very popular minister, and he eats thousands of miles, which is the first time that I have established a country in the Han Dynasty...... The prince and the saint are rumbling, and they envy the world! ”

Liu Zhang said: "Received the grace of the saint, bestowed the prince with the minister, the minister was terrified, but he was afraid of failing the grace of the saint, please send the messenger back long live, the minister Liu Zhang always remember that he is a descendant of the Liu family, and he will do his best for the Han Dynasty and long live the long live, and then die!" ”

Xiao Huangmen said again: "The loyalty of the prince is really moving, my Han has the prince here, and it will be eternal and the country will last forever!" ”

Liu Zhang said a few words modestly, and Xun Yu and other Yizhou civil and military officers also hugged him and congratulated Liu Zhang.

After Liu Zhang accepted everyone's congratulations, he invited Xiao Huangmen to return to Chengdu with him, Xiao Huangmen had finished his words, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he repeatedly thanked Liu Zhang for his invitation and left.

Liu Zhang secretly guessed that he might be afraid of arousing Lu Bu's suspicion, so he was in a hurry to leave, but he didn't force him to stay, and ordered someone to take a hundred catties of gold and a box of jewelry, and give them to Xiao Huangmen.

Today's Xiaohuangmen is really a breeze with both sleeves (losing power, even the emperor has become a poor bastard, and they still expect others to stammer and bribe?) I can't think of the breeze on my sleeves), I saw so many treasures at once, I almost fainted without joy, I knelt down with a bang, kowtowed to Liu Zhang several times, and left after thanking him repeatedly.

Liu Zhang returned to Chengdu with the nine tin and seal letters given by the emperor, and returned to Chengdu amid the cheers of the people.

The Che Cavalry General's Mansion was full of spirits, and Liu Zhang's being named the King of Shu was almost everyone's surprise, but this did not prevent them from being excited......

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Liu Zhang took this opportunity to decide to move to Chang'an.

Liu Zhang's decision has attracted the opposition of many local officials in Yizhou, which is not difficult to understand, these people live in Chengdu, their power has long been deep-rooted, once they move to Chang'an, their power will inevitably be affected, think about it, Liu Zhang's move from Mianzhu to Chengdu has encountered great resistance, not to mention that now they have to move thousands of miles away, directly leaving Yizhou, how can they not fiercely oppose? Fortunately, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhang Song, Yan Yan, Zhang Ren and others unanimously supported the relocation and suppressed the opposition at once. Liu Zhang immediately ordered someone to release the news that he was crowned King of Shu and moved to Chang'an. At the same time, he ordered all the ministries in Chengdu to start preparations on the same day, with a period of one month, and he will officially start to move in a month, and in half a year as a limit, the relocation must be completed within half a year, and half a year later, he will officially hold the ceremony of the founding of the Shu State in Chang'an.

That night, the civil and military forces of Yizhou gathered in the Cheqi General's Mansion to admire the moon and spend the Lantern Festival together, while celebrating Liu Zhang's appointment as the king of Shu......

The next day, Liu Zhang personally wrote a letter to Manchu who was far away in Chang'an, ordering him to immediately start building Chang'an, and appointing him with full authority to prepare for the founding of the country.
