There was a civil strife in Yue, but no one reported it to the court.
This cannot but be said to be dereliction of duty.
However, after thinking about it again, I understood a little bit.
More than a year ago, it was the time when Zhu Feng raised his troops from Beiping and went south, fighting with the imperial army in full swing. Of course, the imperial court couldn't spare any energy to manage the affairs of neighboring countries.
However, more than a year has passed, and there is still no news reported...
Zhu Feng was quiet for a while, then reached out and slowly picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said with a half-smile, "Interesting."
"..."
"It seems that there is more than one new thing waiting for me in this Yongzhou, this border."
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and your eyes become dignified.
They knew that what awaited them would certainly not be the so-called "new things". These were obviously troubles.
Moreover, there is more than one trouble.
They ate something casually in the restaurant, and then went to the inn where they stayed before. Although everyone's hearts were a little gloomy by the news they inquired before, Zhu Feng didn't seem to be in a bad mood. He walked and watched along the way, and was very interested in some new gadgets in this town that he hadn't seen before.
YouQi walked to a silk and satin shop, and saw that the designs and styles inside were not found in Jinling, and said, "I didn't expect there are some good things here."
Jian Ruocheng said: "The country of Yue is mostly mountainous and cannot be cultivated, so the people of Yue mainly live by hunting, supplemented by silkworms. I heard that the raw silk produced in Yue is particularly good, and the brocade weaves is rare in the Central Plains."
Zhu Feng nodded.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Ye Zheng's face ready to move, and said, "What? Want to buy?"
Ye Zheng laughed and said, "These good things are cheap, much cheaper than those in Jinling."
Zhu Feng kept a straight face and didn't speak, but he didn't leave immediately, Ye Zheng thanked him, and immediately ran into the silk shop, Cui Yuanmei also went in to have a look.
In the end, it was the old man who was by his side, who was much more courageous.
Nan Yan had been at odds with him along the way. Although she felt a little itchy in her heart at this moment, she didn't dare to act rashly and just stood quietly behind him.
Zhu Feng didn't look at her either, but only glanced at Jian Ruocheng, and said, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Jian Ruocheng smiled and said: "My minister—I have spent all my money."
"Oh? Are you complaining about the lack of salary?"
"Don't dare, I just bought some random things when I came out, so-"
Zhu Feng looked at him and didn't say another word. After Ye Zheng and Cui Yuanmei came out with their things, the group returned to the previous inn.
In the evening, Nanyan went to his room to spend the night.
As soon as I opened the door and walked in, I saw him standing by the window with his hands behind his back. The night here is different from that in the imperial city. At this time in the palace, many lights can still be seen, but in this small town, it is completely dark, only the stars above the head are left.
Nan Yan said softly: "Your Majesty."
Zhu Feng didn't turn his head back: "Did I ignore what I said today?"
"Uh, son—"
"..."
Only then did he turn around slowly, a face with profound features appeared even more profound in the dim candlelight.
However, Nanyan saw the sweat on his head.
The weather in this place was hotter than Jinling, and he was sweating profusely, and the plain clothes he had just put on were soaked in sweat after a while.
Nan Yan went to make tea for him.
Zhu Feng glanced at it, and suddenly remembered the taste of the tea he drank in the palace, frowned, and said, "I don't want to drink tea."
"..."
Nan Yan picked up the teapot and put it back.
