Chapter 1309 Emperor Wen's Explanation

Mu Shun was about to leave after delivering the imperial edict, but was forced to stay for one night under Yun Zheng's "threat".

While taking a bath and changing clothes, Yun Zheng began to read the contents of another imperial edict.

Zhenhe was divided into Zhenzhou and Hezhou. The end close to Beihuan was Zhenzhou, and the end close to Li State was Hezhou.

Hesheli was granted the title of Ningyuan Marquis and the rank of General Guide, a third-rank official, and was in charge of military affairs in Zhen and He states.

The imperial court would send officials to serve as governors of Zhenzhou and Hezhou.

This was equivalent to Hesheli holding military power and the imperial court holding the power of governance.

No matter how you look at it, this seems like Yun Li’s bad idea.

I guess the third brother is still hoping that Hesheli, who has military power, will cause him some trouble!

In addition, the imperial court also sent an envoy to Lu'an Dao to take charge of all military and political affairs of Lu'an Dao.

Wang Qi was appointed as the Pacifier of Shangqing Dao, in charge of important military and political affairs of Shangqing Dao.

Liu Xianghe was only granted the title of Marquis of Dandong and the fief of Luyi Prefecture, but was not granted any corresponding official position.

The imperial court ordered the Kingdom of Li to send envoys to the Daqian Imperial City to pay homage to the emperor every three years...

"What kind of messed up rewards are these!"

Miaoyin couldn't help but complain when she looked at the contents of the imperial edict.

"Of course it's directed at our husband!"

Ye Zi, who was bathing with him, smiled sweetly.

Shen Luoyan nodded in agreement, with a big belly, "These must have been done by the Third Brother and his cronies!"

Shen Luoyan did not take a bath with them.

However, they hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and Yun Zheng had to receive an order as soon as he came back, so she didn't even have the chance to talk to Yun Zheng in private.

The only way to ease the pain of missing each other is to talk while the three of them are bathing.

Anyway, all three of them have slept with Yun Zheng, so there is nothing to be shy about.

Originally, Yun Zheng wanted to ask Xin Sheng to join him.

However, Xin Sheng was shy and refused on the grounds that he had other matters to take care of at home.

"whatever."

Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "Anyway, no matter what officials the court sends, when they get here, they will rob the government first!"

He is causing trouble for the third brother, and the third brother must also want to cause trouble for him!

We can’t just allow him to cheat the third brother and not allow the third brother to fight back!

As for the officials sent by the court, they will be used if they can be used. If they are not useful, they will be sent to mine for transformation first.

"I knew you would do this!"

Shen Luoyan and Ye Zi smiled at the same time.

This is Yun Zheng’s usual method!

They are all used to it.

Yun Zheng smiled casually, his eyes fell on Shen Luoyan's belly again, "It seems that I don't need to name the child this time!"

Before Emperor Wen's Fengshan ceremony, Shen Luoyan must have unloaded the goods.

By then, everyone would know whether the child was a boy or a girl, and it would be a good opportunity for Emperor Wen to help name the child.

He was too lazy to think of a name for his child himself.

"You're really good at it."

Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with a smile, "You are already the father of three children, but you didn't even give a name to one of them."

"I can't help it. Who told me that my father always catches up?"

Yun Zheng laughed out loud, but sighed silently in his heart.

In fact, there should be four children!

Ugh……

……

In the evening, Yun Zheng hosted a banquet for Mu Shun at the palace.

After the banquet, Yun Zheng and Mu Shun finally had a chance to talk alone.

"Can Father's body withstand such torture?"

Yun Zheng asked Mu Shun with some concern.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Mu Shun smiled and said, "Your Majesty has hardly been involved in state affairs this year. He has been resting and recuperating. Your Majesty's health has improved greatly! Moreover, Your Majesty should be on his way to Jishan now..."

This time, Emperor Wen planned to go to Jishan slowly.

It won't be too tiring if you stop and go along the way.

Moreover, Empress Xu also accompanied the Fengshan ceremony.

Empress Xu was also worried about Emperor Wen's health and would not let the team move too fast.

"That's good."

Since Mu Shun said so, Yun Zheng felt relieved.

Mu Shun smiled and continued, "The emperor specifically told me to tell you two things, and he told you to pay attention to them."

Two things?

Yun Zheng was curious, "Eunuch Mu, please speak."

Mu Shun: "The first thing is to have His Highness order someone to draw a detailed map of the places that have surrendered to our Daqian."

"The emperor said that he will never have the chance to visit Zhenzhou, Hezhou and Lizhou in this lifetime. He can only look at the map of our Daqian's current territory."

"In this way, even in the afterlife, Your Majesty can describe the current territory of Daqian to the late emperor and our ancestors..."

Mu Shun entered the palace at the age of eight.

He had been with Emperor Wen since he was thirteen years old.

He knew that Emperor Wen actually had a worry in his heart.

Emperor Wen ascended the throne by stepping on the blood of several of his brothers.

Emperor Wen once said that if he could lead Daqian to prosperity through both civil and military means in this life, he might have a good reputation in future generations.

If he were to meet the brothers he had killed in the afterlife, he would be able to stand up straight and say, I have not let down the throne!

If he had done nothing in his life, or even led Daqian to decline, he would have surely become a tyrant in later history books.

If that happened, he wouldn't be able to raise his head if he saw those brothers in the afterlife.

Therefore, Emperor Wen always attached great importance to the issue of territory.

"OK, no problem!"

Yun Zheng readily agreed, "I will try my best to make a detailed map."

Mu Shun nodded and continued, "The second thing is that the emperor has instructed that if Your Highness is going to use military force against Yu Country next year, there are some things that should be done while the emperor is in Fengshan."

Ok?

Does my father want me to "incite rebellion" against the imperial navy during his Fengshan ceremony?

However, he did not plan to use military force against the State of Yu next year!

The military operation against the State of Yu must be done in one go!

If you don't move, it's fine. But if you move, it will be a war of national destruction and genocide!

Such a war must be fully prepared.

Moreover, he himself was not familiar with naval warfare and was not particularly confident.

So, he wanted to move cannons onto warships.

If tactics are not enough, then technology will make up for it!

In this battle with the Yu Kingdom, we must be extremely cautious.

Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!

Building a navy is not something that can be done overnight.

Once you fail and lose all your wealth, it will take many years to recover.

Until they recover, they will continue to be harassed by the Yu Kingdom.

Therefore, Yun Zheng will not give Yu Kingdom any chance.

"I understand."

Yun Zheng smiled, "I still need to prepare, and I will not use troops against Yu Country for the time being, but I will make some arrangements in advance!"

Mu Shun smiled and said, "I will definitely convey your Highness' words to His Majesty without missing a word."

After finishing their business, the two started chatting.

As expected, these rewards given to Yun Zheng and others were basically made by Yun Li and Xu Shifu.

Originally, Shen Nianci had no share in these rewards.

However, Lian Yunli himself felt that these rewards were indeed too empty, so he conferred the title of Princess Huaiyu on Shen Nianci.

Yun Zheng didn't care, and asked, "Father, since you have decided to hold a ceremony to confer the title of Emperor Fengshan, there should be a lot of resistance from the court, right?"

Mu Shun nodded and smiled: "There were indeed some obstacles, but they were all resolved one by one by His Majesty..."

As he spoke, Mu Shun told Yun Zheng in detail how Emperor Wen resolved those obstacles.

After listening to Mu Shun's story, Yun Zheng couldn't help but laugh...
