Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 596: Peaceful World
Xing Daorong didn't really want Liu Xie to be a pawn, it's just that his identity was indeed embarrassing!
It's a matter of life and death, it's very troublesome.

Seeing that Liu Xie didn't care much and wanted him to speak clearly, Xing Daorong bowed forward and said to Liu Xie in a steady and firm tone: "Now that Cao Pi is dead and the situation in the world is stable, it is a good opportunity to put things right."

"After you arrive in Chang'an and meet His Majesty, you may as well take the initiative to propose summoning the whole country."

"You can announce to the world that you were forced by Cao Pi and had no choice. Now that Cao Pi is dead, I am willing to obey the will of heaven and pass on the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty to Your Majesty to calm the people of the world."

Liu Xie listened and said, "Now that Your Majesty has already proclaimed himself emperor, wouldn't it be unnecessary for me to do this?"

"Besides, I am already a commoner. If I do this, wouldn't it make His Majesty think that I still care about my status?"

Xing Daorong shook his head and said, "Even if you don't say it, your identity is still there. It's not something that can be hidden by not saying it."

"Why not take the initiative to bring it up... to show that you really want to step down and let someone else take over."

"Your Majesty has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness. He will surely be grateful for your kindness and treat you and the Han royal family well. In this way, the world can be stabilized, the people can be at peace, and the Han Dynasty can continue its rule."

After hearing this, Liu Xie looked solemn. After thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "General, you are right. I also have this idea. But this matter is of great importance, so we must act with caution."

Xing Daorong bowed and said, "Duke Shanyang is wise. I am willing to work hard for you to promote this matter."

Liu Xie looked at him and sighed in his heart, how great it would be if Xing Daorong could tell him that he was working tirelessly for His Majesty!

Only now...

The title of Your Majesty has nothing to do with me anymore.

He just sighed and said, "Well, when I see Your Majesty, I will take the initiative to bring up this matter."

With this being said, Xing Daorong felt a little relieved.

I think this is the best arrangement for Liu Xie.

...

After the Battle of Yecheng, he went to Shanyang to pick up people. When he set foot in Chang'an City again, it was already late autumn.

The wind blew the fallen leaves, gently brushing across Xing Daorong's clothes, bringing a hint of coolness.

He stood at the city gate, looking at the familiar streets before him, and felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility in his heart.

A feeling of... peace and prosperity that comes to you.

The city is still prosperous, with shops lining both sides of the street and the sounds of hawking one after another.

There was a constant stream of pedestrians, with smiles on their faces and walking leisurely.

Children were chasing and playing at the alley entrance; an old man was sitting in front of his door basking in the sun, holding a cup of hot tea in his hands with a peaceful look on his face.

The bell tower in the city still stands tall, and the melodious bell sounds as if telling us that this ancient city is enjoying a peaceful life.

Xing Daorong walked slowly on the bluestone-paved street, hearing the sounds of stringed instruments and the laughter coming from the tavern.

Looking up, the golden roof of the imperial palace in the distance sparkled in the sun, appearing solemn and peaceful.

The willow trees on the street still had their branches drooping low, swaying in the wind, as if waving to him and welcoming his return.

Xing Daorong couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

Once upon a time, he had experienced the ups and downs of life in this city and witnessed war and turmoil.

But now, everything before my eyes is so peaceful, as if those disputes had never happened.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, the market is as prosperous as before, and even the air is filled with a sense of tranquility.

This feeling can be felt even by the flowers around him.

But he said: "General Xing... why do I feel that the atmosphere is a little different now."

Xing Daorong said: "The world is unified, and the people all know it. There will be no more wars in the future, so the atmosphere will naturally be different."

As he approached the imperial city, he saw a notice posted there.

He wrote to the emperor: "We now wish to establish a market in Nanzhong and appoint a market official to encourage Han merchants to trade with them and exchange what they have and what they need." "Commoners can take this position, but they must enter the imperial city and meet your majesty in person."

Wow, this is a quick climb!

However, Xing Daorong knew that this position was specially established for the integration of Han and barbarians when he had proposed it.

From this perspective, His Majesty is quite quick in his actions.

However, Hua Man, who was standing beside him, was somewhat surprised and asked, "Your Majesty is going to set up a special market in Nanzhong?"

"Why is it specifically written as Nanzhong?"

People are always more sensitive about their hometown.

Xing Daorong said, "Now that the world is unified, it is natural that we need to cultivate ourselves and develop in all places."

"The land of Nanzhong is remote. Your Majesty has been in Chengdu for several years, so you naturally know the hardships of Nanzhong. It is not surprising that you specifically brought this up."

Huaman listened without any suspicion and just nodded.

It’s just that the integration of sinicization is called cultural integration in a nice way, but to put it bluntly is the annexation of other ethnic groups.

I wonder what Hua Man’s reaction would be if she really knew what Xing Daorong was thinking.

The two were looking at the notice when they suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"General!"

"long time no see!"

When I turned around, it turned out to be Mi Fang.

It turned out that Mi Fang was strolling on the streets of Chang'an City that day when he suddenly heard a familiar laughter coming from the front. The laughter was hearty and heroic, with a bit of unruly.

He looked up and saw a tall figure standing in front of the notice not far away.

The man was wearing an old battle robe and had a long sword hanging from his waist. Although his clothes were simple, he could not conceal his heroic spirit.

Mi Fang's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

When he got closer, he found out that it was the general!

Then an expression of irrepressible joy appeared on Mi Fang's face, and his voice was trembling as he called out anxiously.

Xing Daorong was also startled, then burst into laughter, strode forward, grabbed Mi Fang's shoulders, and patted him hard: "Mi Taishou! After not seeing you for many years, you are still so energetic!"

Xing Daorong's palm was so powerful that it made Mi Fang's shoulder numb slightly, but it also made him feel a long-lost warmth in his heart.

Mi Fang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! It has been several years since we parted in Jiangling. I didn't expect to meet again in Chang'an today. It's really God's will!"

As he spoke, he looked Xing Daorong up and down. Seeing that he looked dusty but energetic, he couldn't help but sigh, "The general is still as elegant as ever. It's really gratifying!"

Xing Daorong waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, it's you, you haven't changed at all."

As he spoke, he asked, "Why did you come here instead of staying in Jingzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Fang immediately explained: "It's all because of my son."

As he spoke, he pulled the young man next to him and introduced him, "This is my son Mi Yang. I heard that Your Majesty wants to appoint an official to be in charge of inter-city trade in Nanzhong, so I had to come here to meet Your Majesty."

Oh?
Xing Daorong found it strange.

Unexpectedly, the matter of this "Tong Shi Guan" had spread to Jingzhou.

I never thought... that Mi Fang's son would be interested in this matter and willing to go to that remote place in the south.

He looked Mi Yang up and down before asking, "Why are you so interested in this city official?"
