"Weichen wait, pay homage to the emperor!"
Those were all officials of the imperial court in the north, and the leader among them was Cheng Guogong Wu Yingqiu.
He led these officials to come forward, and they all fell to the ground.
For a moment, the people around were speechless in astonishment.
Zhu Feng looked down at Wu Yingqiu, he was still as thin and weak as before, but for some reason, this old bone has kept him going until today; and his son Wu Ding, tall and strong, followed behind him, Also knelt down on the ground.
Zhu Feng looked down at him, and then at the officials around him.
A smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said: "My dear friends, please be flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the ministers kowtowed, they slowly stood up, but because of Wu Yingqiu's frail body, he staggered a bit when he got up, and Wu Ding behind him hurriedly reached out to support him.
He smiled bitterly: "The old minister has lost his composure."
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Why did the Duke come here?"
Wu Yingqiu bowed down and said: "I received the news that the Empress has restored Concubine Kang, and now, I am on my way to Beiping to thank you. I am grateful and I am here to thank the emperor."
"..."
As soon as he said this, the courtiers around him were startled.
Although the former dynasty and the rear palace are separated, in reality, it is impossible to separate them.
While they were doing their own thing, they also had to pay close attention to the situation in the harem. For example, after conferring the imperial concubine, Wu Wan, concubine Kang, was relegated to concubine Zhuang immediately.
Everyone faintly felt that it was the emperor who was alienating the members of the Wu family.
The Si family represented by the imperial concubine, and the Si family's in-laws, the Henan Gu family, gradually began to gain momentum.
It is also because of this that Wu Yingqiu did not participate in this incident from the very beginning. After all, the officials in the north are stationed here. If the emperor does not summon them, or no one gathers them together, it will be difficult for them to form a climate .
That's why officials in the south challenged the emperor several times, and even jointly signed a letter requesting him to stop building Beiping City.
But I didn't expect—
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and all eyes fall on the emperor.
Unexpectedly, he reset Concubine Kang so quickly.
In this way, the people of the Wu family got the hint, and they naturally wanted to come over again to "do the work of a dog and a horse".
The gazes of these people were complex, especially looking at the imperial concubine who had been bowing her head beside the emperor. One could imagine how lost she must be at this moment.
After all, Concubine Kang's rise to power also had an impact on Concubine Gui.
But there was only one person, frowning slightly, staring at Nanyan.
Even if Nan Yan lowered her head, she could still feel Jian Ruocheng's gaze, but at this moment, she couldn't raise her head to meet his gaze, she just kept her head lowered.
On the other hand, Jian Ruocheng's eyes flickered slightly.
It seems to understand something.
He sighed silently.
While everyone around was shocked, Zhu Feng remained calm after hearing Wu Yingqiu's words.
Just a slight flicker in his eyes.
Then, he said with a smile: "This is just a trivial matter, why did the Duke come here in person."
Wu Yingqiu bent down, and said respectfully: "Concubine Zhuang talked nonsense at the conferment ceremony of concubine concubine, she was disrespectful in front of the imperial court, and almost destroyed the ceremony of conferring concubine, and offended concubine concubine, but I didn't expect that the emperor's kindness is so great. , let Concubine Kang return to her original position, I am really grateful to the veteran."
"..."
"So today, I'm here to express my gratitude to the emperor and the imperial concubine."
Zhu Feng glanced at Wu Yingqiu and said calmly, "This is just a trivial matter."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Don't stand still, please sit down. Come and give me a seat."
Immediately, the surrounding attendants stepped forward and led Wu Yingqiu to the seats on both sides. Some low-ranking officials immediately got up and made room for Wu Yingqiu.
Thus, Wu Yingqiu sat across from Jian Ruocheng.
Zhu Feng smiled and said: "Actually, the Duke of the State came at the right time today. Because I am discussing with all my lovers about moving the capital to Beiping."
Upon hearing him say this, Wu Yingqiu showed joy, and said in surprise: "This, this is a good thing!"
"..."
"This is a major event to stabilize our Yan Kingdom's future foundation. If the emperor can accomplish this, it will benefit the country and the people, and the merits will last forever!"
What he said was completely different from what those people said before.
Nan Yan could clearly see that everyone frowned.
Jian Ruocheng said, "What do you mean by the Duke's words?"
Wu Yingqiu only raised his eyelids, his face was already filled with arrogance, and he said, "Master Jian? You are born in a famous family, familiar with classics, and full of poetry and books, how can you not see this clearly?"
"..."
"My Great Yan Dynasty, since the founding of the country, the biggest border problem has come from the north. Although Emperor Gao established Jinling as his capital, he could enjoy a corner of peace, but this also brought about the biggest problem. The division between the North and the South is becoming more and more Seriously, the distance is getting bigger and bigger."
"..."
"I see that you are all born in the south, enjoying the peace and prosperity in the south, but you don't know that the people in the north are still under the threat of the cavalry of the country every day, and the merchants here are not prosperous. , the goods are not in circulation, and the poor and weak are already problems that our Great Yan Dynasty has to face."
"..."
"Everyone, do you want to ignore it?"
When he said this, the other ministers hesitated for a moment.
Of course, it's not impossible to tell, it's just that he is Dingguo Duke, has great prestige in the court, and has old friends with many veterans.
On the bright side, these people are unwilling to tear their faces.
So, after a while of silence, only Jian Ruocheng said: "Even so, the emperor can issue decrees and even formulate policies to develop the north. What's the matter, must the capital be moved?"
Duke Ding looked at him and said, "Just now, didn't I understand enough?"
"..."
"The border troubles in the north are the biggest problem restricting the development of the north today."
"..."
"More than half a year ago, the emperor fought a great battle with the country in Beiping. Don't tell me, everyone, have you just forgotten?"
Jian Ruocheng said: "Since this is the case, then the capital cannot be moved!"
Zhu Feng slightly raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Why?"
Jian Ruocheng stepped forward and said respectfully: "Beiping, originally a border city, may be invaded by the country at any time. If the emperor decides to stay here, wouldn't he be in danger?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan's heart moved slightly.
yes.
Beiping is in danger, and there is no problem in strengthening the city defense here.
However, if Zhu Feng is destined to be here, and he is here every day, then the danger, isn't it, hanging over his head
