Become a feudal king from today

Chapter 76 Imperial Edict

"Zhang Kang is such an old fox. ReadМ"

Chang Wei kicked the truck in front of him.

"But it's not all without gain. At least more than 3,000 war horses were captured, so much iron, armor and weapons." Zhao Xu said with a smile: "The most important thing is, although there is no evidence, but at least one thing is certain, Zhang There is something fishy between the Yuan family and Beidi."

This time Tsui Hark followed a middle-aged man who came out of Zhang's house.

We followed quietly from Yancheng to Qingfengkou, and then followed from Qingfengkou northward, almost entering the grassland.

He did not return until the man was picked up by a group of Beidi cavalry.

"Beasts, the Beidi people slaughtered my Dasong people. Not only did the Zhang family and the Yuan family not hate the enemy, they sold iron and other items to Beidi. Isn't this an act of siding with the enemy? The general now wants to chop them into pieces." Chang Wei gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry, there will be a day like this. Now that we have some clues, we can investigate the matter secretly. If we get the handle, Zhang Kang will definitely die." Zhao Xu clenched his fists.

In such an important strategic location in Yanzhou, it is simply ridiculous that a Yanzhou prefect and a Yanjun county governor secretly collude with foreign enemies.

From now on, he not only has to guard against the Zhang family, but also the Yuan family.

After all, Yuan Li is a man who must take revenge. He has lost so many things, so it would be strange not to hesitate.

Moreover, Yuan Li's nephew was the sixth prince, and in his memory, the sixth prince bullied Zhao Xu the most.

He believed that after learning that he now had a firm foothold in Yan County, he would be more anxious than Yuan Li.

"Your Highness, although we have not obtained any evidence, it was a great achievement to eliminate the bandits who were trading with Beidi. I thought I would use this as a excuse to ask for credit for Your Highness in front of the Emperor." Something suddenly sounded from Liu Fu on the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant from the palace suddenly came over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, someone from the capital is here." The servant spoke quickly.

"Capital Master? Who is here?" Zhao Xu, Liu Fu, and Chang Wei looked at each other.

"A eunuch said he was here with an imperial edict."

"I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse?" Liu Fu frowned.

Zhao Xu smiled. In the last letter from Mi Guiren, Zhao Heng had already tactfully revealed his thoughts.

He believed that Zhao Heng's attitude would not change drastically in such a short period of time.

"We'll find out when we get back."

Zhao Xu turned around and walked out.

Seeing the iron in the car, he ordered Chang Wei to send it to the War Division for smelting.

The captured war horses were carefully fed, and people with horseback riding talents were selected from the army to form cavalry.

All the way to the palace.

Zhao Xu saw three horses parked at the gate of the palace from a distance.

These horses all have the same pattern on their saddles.

Obviously, these are stagecoaches in the stagecoach.

In modern times, information communication is very convenient.

But it was very troublesome in ancient times.

Therefore, in order to allow the court's emergency orders to reach the place as quickly as possible, all dynasties have set up a post system.

Simply put, it is equivalent to a contemporary post office.

Such inns were set up along the official road, one for thirty kilometers, and there were horses at each inn.

Those delivering documents can travel on horseback, changing horses every thirty kilometers.

In this way, emergency reports can be relayed and the team can travel eight hundred miles day and night.

Therefore, the eight-hundred-mile express in ancient times is no joke.

Although Yan County is more than two thousand miles away from the capital, using the inn, it can be reached in three to five days even if you walk slowly.

"Your Highness King Yan, you still remember my little slave."

Entering the palace, Zhao Xu saw a young eunuch and two Forbidden Army soldiers waiting in the front yard.

Seeing Zhao Xu, the young eunuch's face suddenly filled with smiles.

Zhao Xu searched in his memory and found the memory of this eunuch.

"Tong Zhangshi." Zhao Xu smiled and pretended to be intimate.

The eunuchs of Dasong are always under the control of Neifeng Mansion.

The highest-ranking eunuch is called the chief steward and ranks first.

Liang Cheng is now the general manager.

Under the general manager, there are other ranks such as the imperial father-in-law, the palace father-in-law, the leader's father-in-law, the steward's father-in-law, and the leader's father-in-law, ranging from the second grade to the ninth grade.

This Tong San was the tutor of the father-in-law and a sixth-grade eunuch in the palace.

As far as he knew, he was Liang Cheng's confidant and was responsible for announcing the imperial edict.

"Oh, Your Highness still remembers me. I'm so honored." Tong San laughed.

While laughing, he looked at King Yan and saw that King Yan looked calm and dignified, without any of the crazy and stupid energy he had in the palace at that time. He secretly thought that King Yan had really recovered on his own.

Originally, he could arrive at Yancheng one day in advance, but upon the emperor's order, after entering Yanjun, he specifically inquired about King Yan.

All the people along the way praised King Yan, while the merchants coveted the goods from the palace, saying that every day in the palace of Yan was like a bucket of gold.

"Since I have recovered from my illness, I naturally remembered how my father-in-law took care of me when he was in the palace." Zhao Xu continued to be polite.

In the past, Tong San was not bad to him in the palace, nor did he take special care of him.

But now that we have met, we have to tell the truth.

Tong San knew in his heart that these words were just the clichés of King Yan.

At this time, he revealed the imperial edict, "The emperor is very happy to learn that His Highness has recovered from illness, and specially asked the slave to come to Yan County to declare the holy will to His Highness."

Zhao Xu understood that an edict was about to be announced.

He then turned to the south and knelt down, because that was the direction of the imperial city, to show his respect for the emperor.

Tong San stood beside Zhao Xu, unfolded the imperial edict and said: "I am very relieved to hear that King Yan Xu has recovered from his illness. However, since Yan County is under control, we should be diligent in government affairs and not forget the important task of the vassal king to defend the royal family. We must not act arbitrarily. Appreciate this.”

"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live." After Tong San read, Zhao Xu shouted.

At this time, Tong San handed the imperial edict to Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu stood up.

"The emperor also rewarded His Highness one thousand taels of silver and three hundred pieces of Shu brocade. The little slave will go first. These things will arrive in two days." Tong San said with a smile, "However, now His Highness's business is booming in the capital. This There’s no need to worry about something, and this time, the slave brought good news to His Highness..."

Speaking of this, Tong San became suspicious.

Feng'er has been entertaining Tong San since he arrived.

Zhao Xu understood what he heard and said, "Feng'er, go to the warehouse and get a thousand taels of silver for Master Tong to drink tea, and then reward the two soldiers."

"Yes, Your Highness." Feng'er bowed her head and left.

Tong San showed a satisfied smile, "Feng'er's whereabouts in Yan County are becoming more and more obvious."

Then he cleared his throat and smiled mysteriously, "The emperor's reward for His Highness is not much, but he has another surprise for His Highness."
