Chapter 652: Wenchang Marquis

Only when he has money, power and troops in his hands can he fulfill a dream he has been dreaming about for decades!

Click, click, there was a sound of machinery turning, and a door appeared on the floor of the study.

Yong Zhi entered the secret room inside.

The secret room was brightly lit and contained a row of tablets.

These are the tablets of the Yong family’s ancestors.

These tablets are engraved with words such as "Dayong Dynasty", "Emperor", and "God's Throne".

Everyone in Wei knows that the Yong family is the descendant of the Yong royal family.

However, the end of Dayong was very shameful, so shameful that when the previous dynasty came to an end, people all over the world would rather support the Wei family than support the Yong family to regain the throne.

This happened hundreds of years ago, and the Yong family had long since accepted this fate.

But Yong Zhi thinks highly of himself and is unwilling to accept his fate!

……

The next day, the imperial edict that Yan Zhou, as the emperor's special envoy, was to go on a tour of inspection on behalf of the emperor and to supervise the investigation of spies in the northeastern states was read out in the Golden Palace.

The civil and military officials were in an uproar, and they were all terrified and knelt down to beg Emperor Wuxing to revoke his order.

The military generals close to Emperor Wuxing were worried about Yan Zhou's health, fearing that he would die in the Northeast Province. They also felt that Yan Zhou was the only civil official they could trust. If Yan Zhou went to the Northeast Province, how could His Majesty have any trustworthy civil officials? !

The civil officials were terrified. If the Duke of Yan left the capital, who would be able to stop Emperor Wuxing from killing people? !

Therefore, for a time, the civil officials and military officers were unprecedentedly united, shouting like a mountain of shouting: "Your Majesty, we beg you to revoke your order!"

Emperor Wuxing really wanted to revoke his order, but Yan Zhou was determined to go to Northeast Province. After some thought, Emperor Wuxing also felt that they could achieve the most fruitful results if Yan Zhou went to Northeast Province.

Therefore, he could only reluctantly say: "The imperial decree has been issued, you want me to break my promise and gain wealth? Withdrew from the court!"

The eunuch immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has ordered all officials to leave the court!"

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!" the ministers shouted, but Emperor Wuxing had already stood up and left, leaving them kneeling in the Golden Palace and continuing to beg.

He wanted to go and besiege Yan Zhou again, but suddenly remembered that Duke Yan did not attend the court today... Yan Zhou was in poor health, so Emperor Wuxing granted him special permission not to attend the court. If there was anything, he could go to the palace to report to him at any time.

"Lord Yong, Lord Yong, you are the Minister of Justice. You should be the one who goes to the Northeast Province to supervise the spies and investigate the crimes. How can you let Duke Yan go?" The ministers could only surround Yong Zhi.

Yong Zhi said helplessly: "My dear colleagues, I have written twice to ask for permission to go to the Northeast Province, but Your Majesty did not agree... I have tried my best, please don't embarrass me, goodbye."

After saying this, he left immediately.

When the ministers tried to stop him, he shouted to the imperial guards guarding the Golden Palace and successfully escaped.

Some civil and military officials refused to give up and continued to kneel outside the Golden Palace, begging Emperor Wuxing to revoke his decision.

But this time, without Yan Zhou to speak for them, it was useless no matter how much they begged.

At the Duke of Yan's Mansion, Zheng Nandan hurried over to ask for a meeting.

After seeing Yan Zhou, he lifted his skirt and knelt down: "Please ask Duke Yan to let Zheng accompany you to the Northeast Province!"

Yan Zhou smiled: "Are you in a hurry to meet the Huang family kid?"

"That's right. We haven't seen each other for almost three years. You must miss him. After all, you raised him."

Zheng Nandan shook his head: "I am not going to see Long Ge'er, I want to follow Duke Yan and do errands for him to repay him for his support. I beg you to help me!"

His voice was loud and his expression was resolute, as if he was worried about his sick benefactor going to a bitter and cold place.

"Brother Zheng, you will be more useful if you stay in the capital than if you follow me to the Northeast Province." Yan Zhou said, "You can stay in the capital to consolidate your position and help Yong Hou... Yong Hou and us are always separated by a layer, do you understand?"

Does the Duke of Yan want him to stay in the capital and keep an eye on Marquis Yong?

Zheng Nandan nodded: "I understand, but Duke Yan..."

"I understand Brother Zheng's concerns." Yan Zhou interrupted him and said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, don't worry. Since I dare to ask for a mission, I will make sure I can return alive. You really don't have to worry too much. My health is not that bad."

This?

Zheng Nandan still knelt and refused to get up.

Yan Zhou let him kneel for another quarter of an hour before he smiled and said, "Hurry up and go back to prepare some things. I'll help you take them to the Huang family kid."

After hearing this, Zheng Nandan knew that Yan Zhou had made up his mind, so he had to stand up and said, "Yes, thank you, Duke Yan, for helping me bring the things."

Zheng Nandan also told Duke Yan about the profits from the new dye business in various prefectures in the capital, and how he had helped His Majesty to win over several large merchants.

Yan Zhou was very satisfied and praised him, then asked him: "When Huang Jiazi passes by the capital, will you go back to Lingnan Prefecture with him?"

Zheng Nandan frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "I'm afraid I have to accompany Long Ge'er back to make the handover. Otherwise, with his temper, he might offend a group of uncles and uncles, and those people would make it difficult for him and prevent him from smoothly inheriting the Huang Family Business."

After hearing this, Yan Zhou nodded and said, "You are a very competent uncle. It is Huang Jiazi's luck to have you."

He added: "Then you should arrange your own affairs, and don't miss the matters in the capital because of accompanying Huang Jiazi back to Lingnan Prefecture."

"Yes, Duke Yan, rest assured, I will not delay the official business!" Zheng Nandan promised and he would definitely keep his promise.

It was because he had finally gotten his official position with great difficulty, and there was no way he would miss his job because of Long Ge'er.

But, he had to go back to Lingnan Province.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zheng Nandan was a very tactful person. He said goodbye and left without staying any longer.

After a while, Yan Zhou ordered: "Move the couch to the yard."

The servant said, "My Lord, it's already afternoon and the temperature is starting to drop. It's not good for your health to go to the yard at this time."

Yan Zhou repeated his previous instructions and explained, "The air in the warm room is not good."

what?

The servants didn’t think the air in the warm room was bad?

But Yan Zhou insisted on doing so, and the servants had no choice but to obey.

Yan Zhou was carried to the yard along with his couch.

After arriving in the yard, Yan Zhou took a deep breath and felt that the smell of greed was no longer in the air.

Zheng Nandan is indeed very capable and is a rare expert at making money.

but……

"Huang Yanglong." Yan Zhou picked up the pen and wrote down a string of names, including Huang Yanglong: "This name... has so many strokes."

The next day, new news came.

"Marquis Wenchang has already rushed to Dongming Prefecture to help General Liang eliminate the hidden spies."

In theory, this is good news, but Emperor Wuxing was not very happy.

Just because Marquis Wenchang is Yong Zhi's father-in-law.

"Humph, there's really no way to avoid it!"

Yong Zhi was stopped, but his father-in-law had already gone to the Northeast Province.

When the country encounters a crisis, Marquis Wenchang can assist several neighboring states in resolving it. This was a personal order from Emperor Wuxing.

This handwritten edict was given by Emperor Wuxing when he passed by Taizhou Mansion... At that time, all the victims flocked to Taizhou Mansion, and Emperor Wuxing needed Marquis Wenchang to help resettle the victims, so he had to give this handwritten edict.

Now, there is nothing wrong with Marquis Wenchang acting according to the imperial edict.

He was a defector, so Emperor Wuxing did not dare to trust him completely.

Yan Zhou advised: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Wenchang Hou is a smart man. He knows how to make choices at critical moments... And I will leave for Northeast Province soon, and I will have a detailed discussion with Wenchang Hou then."

Marquis Wenchang can still be won over.
