"Let's go out and meet the decree!"
Fan Jin knew in his heart that no matter how reluctant he was, this imperial edict needed to be accepted today.
Fan Jin came outside the camp with his entourage.
"My lord, listen respectfully to His Majesty's holy words..."
As he spoke, he fell to his knees on the ground.
But at this time, the person who announced the decree hurriedly helped Fan Jin up: "Master Marquis, when your Majesty came down, he ordered you to stand and receive the decree. You are the minister of the Zhou Dynasty! But don’t be so polite!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fan Jin nodded lightly, not taking it too seriously.
He just frowned slightly.
While speaking, the eunuch who announced the edict gently took out the imperial edict and cleared his throat: "I hear the great virtues of heaven and earth, and listen to the sufferings of all peoples!"
"Unwilling to commit another crime of murder, I would like to give the Nanzhao royal family the opportunity to make the Nanzhao envoys make a pilgrimage to the divine capital."
"The army led by Marquis Annan is temporarily stationed outside Nanzhao! Do not use weapons without permission!"
Accompanied by the gradual chanting of the eunuch who announced the decree.
Fan Jin frowned deeply. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he felt a little angry in his heart. He had been preparing here for a long time, and he also encountered unprecedented resistance from Nanzhao, which made him lose face and broke his original attack plan.
I originally wanted to avenge my shame, but now I am trapped here by an imperial edict!
"My lord, accept the order!"
But there was no other way. After Fan Jin took a deep breath, he gently raised his hands and accepted the imperial edict respectfully, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.
He was constantly thinking of countermeasures in his mind!
After pondering for a moment, he asked aloud: "This father-in-law, can I ask a few questions."
While speaking, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and slowly put it into the eunuch's hand.
The eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled happily and carefully took the silver and put it in his arms: "No matter what the matter is, Mr. Marquis, just ask me? I must tell you everything I know!" "
The reason why he worked so hard to travel so far was of course for some reward money.
Nowadays, it seems that An Nanhou is relatively generous. So much money was given at once.
"Why would Your Majesty issue such a holy order?" Fan Jin's voice was very soft.
"Hey, Lord Marquis!"
At this time, the little eunuch laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly, and then shook his head helplessly: "You think highly of our family too much, and you also know in your heart that His Majesty will never talk so much to people like us. Sometimes he announces decrees. She is still the female official beside His Majesty, but because this imperial edict is relatively far away and there is no suitable candidate beside His Majesty, we are the ones who come here."
"Otherwise this kind of work wouldn't have fallen on our shoulders!"
The little eunuch continued: "How could I possibly know what His Majesty means?"
Fan Jin waved his hand: "Did anything strange happen in the divine capital?"
"That's true. Rumors in the market seem to be saying that the Nanzhao Kingdom's envoys are already on their way. They have worked so hard to enter the city of God just to get our Majesty to be lenient!"
"Other than that, there's nothing special about it!"
The little eunuch told everything he knew.
Hearing this, Fan Jin's brows slowly relaxed a little: "Does this mean there is no consensus reached in the court?"
"Um!"
The little eunuch nodded again.
"Come here, send this father-in-law down to rest, and serve him something delicious and delicious!" Fan Jin nodded: "My father-in-law, I still have some military work to do, and I'm afraid I can't stay here with you. You can rest on your own, and whatever you need, you can tell the people below!"
"Then our family will thank Mr. Hou!"
The father-in-law suddenly became excited.
It seems that I can take a good rest for a while, and then find a way to rush back. The affairs in the DPRK had nothing to do with him. When he came to announce the decree this time, he hurriedly hurriedly. As long as you return to the capital within the stipulated time, there will be no serious problem!
Wait until the little eunuch leaves.
Fan Jin snorted coldly and then turned around and entered the camp, with a bit of coldness in his eyes: "What on earth do your Majesty want to do? At such an important moment, he actually issued such an imperial edict. He Nan Even if the imperial edict surrenders, even if it is willing to become a vassal every year, so what?"
"With such a large land, wouldn't it be better to expand it?"
Fan Jin's voice was somewhat cold.
Suddenly he slapped the table, and then said angrily: "Who gave His Majesty the idea?"
You must know that the current Nanzhao Kingdom is just a piece of meat in his mouth. As long as he removes the obstacles in front of him, he can lie on the Nanzhao Kingdom and feast on it! But now, everything is in vain. He can't attack, let alone dare not attack.
If he does something like this, he will be greeted by a thunderous blow from the imperial court.
"We didn't know that people from Nanzhao Kingdom were leaving with a delegation!"
At this time, the counselor beside him frowned slightly: "In other words, there should be a secret passage in Nanzhao Kingdom that can connect Dazhou and Nanzhao. It's a pity that we didn't know about this road before. Now It’s too late to regret!”
"Let's find a way to build the road first. Repair the road. If His Majesty really orders the attack, we must seize the opportunity. Solve the battle in the shortest time. If these roads were not blocked, now we We have already reached the imperial city of Nanzhao! Even if it is His Majesty’s imperial edict, what will happen when it arrives? The meat that should reach your mouth has already been swallowed!"
Fan Jin took a deep breath, feeling extremely regretful at this moment.
But he couldn't say much.
"I'll give the order now!" The counselor beside Fan Jin nodded solemnly, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.
"correct!"
Fan Jin seemed to have thought of something at this moment: "Su Chen, how's it going?"
"The spies got a piece of news!" The counselor paused for a moment before continuing: "Su Chen borrowed three million taels of silver from His Highness the Crown Prince, seemingly to build Qiongzhou and Zhenzhou!"
"Three million taels of silver?"
Fan Jin's eyes showed a bit of solemnity, and he glanced at the people next to him in surprise: "Is His Royal Highness already so wealthy? No, it's just a small Yazhou, and he can actually gather A wealth of nearly tens of millions of silver? Isn’t this a bit abnormal?”
